Black Press The NDP recently announced their candidate for the newly created Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon riding.

Dennis Adamson, also known as the people’s politician and the director for Electoral Area B in the Fraser Valley Regional District, won a contested nomination Sunday, according to the NDP’s Tim Chu. “I feel honoured,” Adamson told the Hope Standard. “It was very close, Chief Whitney was a tough candidate to beat.”

Adamson beat out Kevin Whitney, the chief of the T’it’q’et First Nation near Lillooet, for the nomination.

Chu said around 150 votes were cast, but did not provide a breakdown of those votes.

With Adamson nominated, all four parties have chosen candidates for the Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon riding, which includes parts of Abbotsford north of Bateman and Maclure roads, along with Mission, Agassiz and several Fraser Canyon communities up to Lillooet in the

north.

Adamson will face Jati Sidhu of the Liberals, Arthur Green of the Green Party and Brad Vis of the Conservative Party, along with independent Wyatt Scott.

The goal of the NDP candidate when he is elected is to work for a better Canada and to address the issues of the people.

Adamson hopes to see a return of the middle class and has taken a stance against privatization in this country.

“I want to reach the people and to solve problems,” he said.

Some of the issues Adamson hopes to address will be the job market in the Canyon.

“It’s difficult. People don’t have work and life is difficult. When I get elected, I will lobby and make life better.”

The candidate has taken a stance agains Bill C-51 and opposes a Canada that will expose citizens right to privacy and infringe on their civil liberties.

Adamson told the Hope Standard that he is ecstatic about the nomination and conscripting his family to his side on the campaign trail.

Drought takes toll on rivers, land Tom Fletcher Black Press

FILE PHOTO/BLACK PRESS

The Wood Lake fire near Harrison Lake was estimated at 1,370 hectares this week.

Water use restrictions, inland fishing closures and a close watch on the warming Fraser River continue as drought conditions extend into a fourth month in B.C. The Fraser River discharge at Hope measured 31 per cent lower than normal Aug. 10, with the temperature at 19.2 C, one degree higher than average. The Canada-U.S. Fraser River Panel projected a temperature of 20.4 by Aug. 16, with all commercial salmon fishing closed in Canadian waters regulated by the panel.

The B.C. government extended stage four drought restricted to the Okanagan region, allowing local officials to suspend water licences depending on stream conditions. The South Thompson, Similkameen, Kettle and Skagit, South Coast and Vancouver Island regions are also at stage four.

Low stream flow advisories are in effect for those areas and the CaribooChilcotin. The forests ministry extended its stream fishing ban this week on the Okanagan River mainstem between Okanagan and Osoyoos Lakes.

The Kootenay and East Kootenay regions have been declared at level three drought, with voluntary use restrictions of 30 per cent below normal use for municipal, agricultural and industrial water users.

Coastal regions have had some relief with rain and cooler temperatures that have reduced the forest fire danger rating to low for much of western B.C. A campfire ban was lifted Wednesday for northern Vancouver Island, and open fires are also permitted in the northwest and Prince George regions.

B.C.'s most active fires and new fires continue in the southern coastal region, including the Wood Lake fire near Harrison Lake, the Elaho and Boulder Creek fires near Pemberton, and the Cougar Creek fire west of Merritt.

BC Hydro has also asked customers to reduce electricity use to maintain reservoir levels as dry weather continued in most of the province.

Private jobs fall, self-employment up Tom Fletcher Black Press The unemployment rate in B.C. held steady at six per cent in July, with a reduction in private-sector jobs offset by increased public sector employment and self-employment.

BC Stats reported that private sector employment fell by 4,500 jobs from June, while private sector jobs grew by 1,800 and the number of self-employed rose by 2,100.

Compared to July 2014, self-employment was up by 9,800

while private sector employment was down 8,300.

B.C.'s unemployment rate tied with Alberta for third lowest in the country in July.

Saskatchewan was lowest with 5.2 per cent and Manitoba second lowest at 5.8 per cent, compared with a national rate of 6.8 per cent.

B.C.'s commodity exports increased 9.1 per cent in June, with increases in forestry products, farm and fishing products and energy. Exports were up 12.8 per cent to the U.S. and 5.1 per cent to the rest of the world.

Local government auditor problems confirmed Black Press The release of a spring survey of B.C. municipalities confirms the problems that led to the firing of B.C.'s first Auditor General for Local Government in March.

The Union of B.C. Municipalities surveyed the 17 local governments that had participated in former AGLG Basia Ruta's reviews by March. All but one responded that AGLG staff and auditors lacked understanding of how local government operates in B.C. One community with RCMP service said the AGLG was "not quite sure how to assess our situation" because the municipality had little discretion over the terms of its policing contract.

The survey also found that high turnover in Rutia's office hampered its performance audits.

That was one of the factors that led to Ruta being fired, after she refused to cooperate with a review of her office's functions.

Former B.C. auditor general Arn van Iersel was appointed acting AGLG in April and is working with the UBCM on its recommendations, including training of audit staff.

Hired to execute an idea proposed by Premier Christy Clark in her 2012 bid for the B.C. Liberal Party leadership, Ruta set herself a target of 18 audits in the first year. Clashes with staff at her

Surrey office and her supervising board began to emerge, and only one audit was completed in that time.

CAPSULE COMMENTS Drug shortages and price changes may necessitate a change in brand of your medication. Most of the time this isn’t a problem but if it’s a thyroid or warfarin brand change, it is good to get a blood test a short while after the change to ensure the new brand is doing the job as well as the old.

Since the human papilloma vaccine was introduced back in 2006, there has been a 56% decrease of HPV infections in girls aged 1419. Side effects of the vaccine are rare (1-10 cases in a million doses

It’s recommended for girls starting at the age of 9 and is a protection against cervical cancer in the future.

Hope Communities in Bloom President Victor Smith (far right) received the prestigious Paul Harris Fellowship award last Thursday from Hope Rotary President, Hondo Stroyan (far left) and Rotarian, David Jubb. This award is rarely given to non-Rotarians, but Smith is an honorary recipient as a tribute to his outstanding work in the community.

Get to know our primary care providers in Hope Dr. Ertha Nanton, Family Physician I have a long history as a rural family physician and have always liked the pace of work and the cordiality of patient interactions in a community such as Hope. I enjoy caring for and managing the health care of my many patients, who span from the cradle to their life’s end. I value having the time and ability to engage in extra-curricular activities, such as swimming, playing the guitar and indulging my musical talents. I have been working at becoming a pilot which I find exhilarating. I grew up in a rural town in Trinidad and Tobago and feel quite at home living and working here in Hope.

Hope allows me to work in my office at a measured pace and at the emergency room. I also have an interest in oncology and completed the GPO program about 6 years ago. It would be wonderful if a program for delivering chemotherapy could be started in Hope.

Hope has many hidden treasures, not the least of which is the trove of remarkable people who call Hope home. One such person is Gordon Martin, an unassuming computer software designer who, along with his team, based mostly in Texas, has just bagged the top prize for literacy software in a world-wide contest sponsored by the US Agency for International Development (USAID,) World Vision and the Australian government.

Enabling Writers is a joint project by the aforementioned groups to raise literacy levels, particularly in developing nations. The contest was to find the best quality, most accessible software for designing materials for new readers. Users with little former computer exposure or literacy methodology are able to create professional, accurate educational materials in their (often minority) languages.

Any script (think Arabic, which reads left to right and ‘back to front’ in a book, compared to English, or up and down, as in some Asian languages) can be accommodated by this new smart software, making it possible to create a library of readinglevel appropriate books/booklets in languages which formerly had few or no mother-tongue materials. In a world with 7,102 known living languages, such software will finally make reading in the first language a reality for many language groups.

The software was tested in projects in Cambodia, Bangladesh, Jordan and Ethiopia.

Martin has worked for SIL International for over 25 years, most of those as a linguist/translator in sub-Saharan Africa, but

Martin works with an international team, online from his home office in Hope, designing programs that are speeding the creation and dissemination of educational materials across the globe. The winning program,

called Bloom will now be the go-to software for mother-tongue education around the world!

Asked if he gets a share of the $100,000 grand prize, Martin chuckled. “It all goes toward the mission of empowering people through literacy. I heard I may get a project coffee mug, though!”

Opinion Published by Black Press Limited at 540 Wallace St., Hope, BC V0X 1L0

Healthy choices for schoolkids There is no question that a new school year is approaching. Store bins are full of every conceivable kind of school supply, and stacks of multicoloured binders and paper crowd the aisles. As you think about the material things your children need to start the school year well, here are some health-related matters to consider.

First, sleep is an essential part of your child’s health and growth. Children who go to school with enough sleep are more likely to function better, less likely to experience behavioral problems and have a happier, more productive day. Summer “holiday hours” often disrupt normal sleeping patterns.

Now is the time to start making daily gradual adjustments so that by the end of August, your child will be back to a regular and consistent sleep schedule.

Children from the ages of 5-12 need 10-11 hours of sleep. An hour’s “quiet time” reading is an excellent way to relax the child in preparedness for sleep.

Second, if your child is starting kindergarten, check that his/her immunizations are up-to-date. Vaccines are a healthy choice for your child. They provide immunity and prevent disease. School entry vaccines are available and publicly funded at the local public health unit. Third, if your child has allergies (e.g., requiring an inhaler or an EPI pen) or has been prescribed certain medications, please advise the school about relevant specifics of his/ her medical condition. If you require special information from your family doctor (e.g., a note or letter,) this is the time to obtain it.

Fourth, to mature emotionally and socially, children must learn to interact with people outside the home. By coping with the minor stresses and conflicts inherent in these interactions, children gradually acquire the skills to handle more significant stressors. However, certain major events, such as a family member’s illness may challenge a child's abilities to cope and impair performance in school. When such an event occurs, it is helpful to inform the school so that it can support the child. Finally, after a couple months’ reprieve, it will soon be time to think about school lunches. Kids who eat a healthy lunch are ready to learn. A well balanced lunch includes at least one food from every food group of Canada's Food Guide. Leftover pasta, pita pizzas, sandwiches and wraps are all quick and delicious kid approved meals and they all have ingredients from at least two food groups. Add cute containers of cut-up veggie sticks and cheese cubes or fruit chunks and yogurt, and you've got lunch. The Internet is an excellent resource of ideas for planning and preparing healthy lunches. Your child's health includes physical, mental and social well-being.

Most parents know the basics of keeping children healthy, like offering them healthy foods, making sure they get enough sleep and exercise and insuring their safety. It is also important for children to get regular checkups with their health care provider. These visits are a chance to check your child's development. They are also a good time to catch or prevent problems.Parents, caregivers, and health professionals are essential decision-makers when it comes to the nutrition, physical activity and health needs of their children. Help your child develop healthy habits early in life that will bring lifelong benefits.

With more time, will more voters care?

Tom Fletcher Black Press Several readers took me to task for last week’s commentary on the beginning of our long, hot federal election campaign.

They pointed out, among other things, that there are substantial cost increases to Elections Canada as well as higher spending limits for the parties. And thanks to generous tax deductions for political donations, taxpayers subsidize all party spending whether they want to or not.

That’s the system as it is today, so rather than rail against it, it seems more useful to ask what we’re getting for our forced investment in this exercise.

First, more leader debates. The traditional main event organized by TV networks for Oct. 8 appears to be a bust, with only Liberal leader Justin Trudeau and Green Party leader Elizabeth May expected to attend. Conservative leader Stephen Harper declined, prompting NDP leader Thomas Mulcair to say he will only take part in debates that include Harper.

Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair have agreed to a Sept. 17 debate hosted by The Globe and Mail and Google Canada.

This one is to be focused on the economy, which should

MAIL

Box 1090 Hope, B.C. VOX

force participants to get beyond their talking points and pointing fingers.

On Sept. 28 there will be a debate focused on foreign policy hosted by Munk Debates, a charitable foundation.

Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair have accepted. May and Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe were not invited to either of these.

The national media have decided that the biggest issue currently is the trial of suspended senator Mike Duffy, but this has turned out to be a rehash of facts and assertions heard many times over by those who care.

The expense account abuse has pushed the issue of senate reform to the forefront. Harper declared his intention to starve the Senate by refusing any more appointments, after most provinces ignored his call to elect their nominees.

Trudeau, having expelled all Liberal senators from the party caucus, has warned that Harper’s plan and Mulcair’s long-standing position to abolish the Senate are both unworkable, if not unconstitutional. Trudeau has promised changes to the senate appointment process, but no specifics so far.

Party policies are being doled out one bit at a time, and the national and local candidate debates may help clarify them. Here are a couple that could use closer scrutiny.

Standard

DEADLINES

The Hope

E-MAIL: news@hopestandard.com

Harper has promised to revive a stimulus program from the 2009 economic crisis, offering a 15 per cent tax credit for home improvements between $1,000 and $5,000. This sounds great if you’re a homeowner, but does nothing for renters, drives up the cost of housing in already overpriced urban markets and encourages more consumer debt.

Trudeau has promised an additional $2.6 billion over four years for First Nations education on reserves, and accelerated spending on school infrastructure.

Mulcair has promised to hold a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women. Mulcair and Trudeau both pledge to reverse the Conservative moves to eliminate what’s left of door-to-door mail delivery, and to extend the age of eligibility for the Old Age Security pension from 65 to 67.

All of these promises are presented in the most appealing way possible by the parties that promote them, and all involve spending and taxation trade-offs that the parties would prefer not to discuss.

Another possible dividend from a formal campaign stretching more than two months is that more voters will pay attention to the real issues and actually take the time to cast a ballot. If that happens, and the long decline in voter turnout is reversed, it’s a good investment.

Letters Hang loose, something is bound to happen Two weeks ago we went to Sun Peaks with another couple, June & Emil. We partied Friday night (as you know I would) and then the next morning I could not talk or walk and was slurring my words.

Emil phoned 911 and within minutes six volunteer first responders, with a leader training them, arrived.

These people are also volunteer firemen, who would like to become paramedics or firefighters some day.

Within an hour I was in the Emergency dept. at Kamloops hospital. What ser vice!!

After many tests they decided I was dehydrated and that along with my other health problems caused a mini-stroke.

After 36 hours I left the hospital in great SUBMITTED PHOTO shape, for an old man!

Hope Volunteer Fire Department in days of old.

Hope is located at the junction of three high-

ways, plus rivers and rail lines. As you know there are many accidents and all the ambulances that can be mustered at times are needed.

Maybe this could be helped by our Fire Dept.

When I joined the department, we had an average of two fires a week.

There was no time for First Aid. Times have changed, with only three or four bad fires a year in our community. So maybe young firefighters could help and go onto a great career as a paramedic. Mr. Mayor with all the letters to you and the editor plus a signed petition by many, will there be any changes soon to the Hope Fire Dept.? Please reply in this paper on your and councils actions. We need 1st responders now.

Hang loose ever yone. Something is bound to happen soon.

Bylaw for election signage appears to be holding A lengthy federal election is under way.

As I drive through our beautiful town, I am ever so thankful for the folks who took the time to draft our local bylaw, limiting the use of campaign signs on public property to only 30 days prior to election day.

I am also proud to see our local laws respected, for the most part, by candidates and their campaigns.

Ben Besler

The federal election campaign is now well underway. The re-elect Mark Strahl campaign team is working hard to connect with voters, get our campaign office up and running, and in the Chilliwack area we’ve been putting up our election signs with teams of volunteers.

Some Hope residents have wondered why they are not seeing any re-elect Mark Strahl Conservative signs in Hope yet. While our campaign team was eager and ready to get our signs up in Hope as soon as the election was called, Hope has an election sign law (District of Hope Sign Bylaw # 35/96) which clearly states that, “No political sign shall be erected more than 30 days before an election.” While others have chosen to disregard it, the Re-Elect Mark Strahl, Conservative Campaign will respect Hope’s election sign law, and we look forward to getting our signs up in Hope on September 19, the first day they are permitted by law to be displayed.

Par ticipants can walk, run, inline skate, or bike and the route is both wheelchair and stroller accessible.

Gather up the crew and and we look forward to seeing you there!

It matters not what your political stripe may be, I am certain most of you will agree, election signs are unsightly and spoil the beauty of our community.

In fact some time ago, our town council put in place a bylaw which in words says “election signs are not permitted to be erected more than 30 days prior to an election.”

Obviously the Council agreed with the majority of our citizens.

It is evident one political party is unaware of the bylaw or is just ignoring it. However, our town man-

Hope Library Reader of the Week!

The Build It! Summer Reading Club 2015 has a new reading champion this week.

Hannah Angel has taken the crown from her predecessors and recommends Dark Beast as her choice of book for the end of summer.

“It’s about this girl, and in her world everyone has a dark beast and when you turn 12 you are supposed to kill it, but she doesn’t,” said Angel.

The heroine’s choice lands the young girl in a world of trouble according to the avid reader.

The Club has been a success this summer, and is winding down, as the days inch closer to the beginning of another school year. The aim of The Build It! theme was to actively engage readers of all ages, while helping them to build a solid literary foundation.

Black and White with a Touch of Color is the new exhibit at the Hope Arts Gallery featuring the work of local artists Sharon Blythe and Jackie Coughlin. The month long show began on August 1st and will continue until the 28th.

Sharon got her start in oil painting but later switched to acrylics after taking a workshop with former Hope RCMP staff sergeant Ed Hill. She also has years of experience as a Chinese brush painter. Sharon was a founding member of both the Hope Artist Guild and The Hope & District Arts Council. Jackie Coughlin paints in watercolours and primarily works on floral paintings.

Although painting is her passion, she also creates beautiful beaded jewelry.

Both artists are largely self taught under the guidance of various instructors at workshops in a variety of mediums. Sharon and Jackie are very excited to be exhibiting work together for the first time and to share their work with the community.

Please support the artists and community arts programming in Hope by visiting the Hope Arts Gallery.

The Gallery is part of local arts and cultural programming under the Hope & District Art Council and is operated by volunteers. The Hope Arts Gallery, located at 349 Fort Street, Hope B.C. is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to SUBMITTED PHOTO 4 p.m. For more information please contact us at 604-869-3400 or hope- Local artist Sharon Blythe lights up the August Backroom exhibit at the Hope Arts Gallery.

Homegrown girl Emili Losier is a Finnish Canadian Soprano, and has a sweet lyrical voice that reaches her audience in a profound way, creating joy whenever she opens her mouth.

Losier acknowledged that singing is a driving force within her, and that if she does not sing regularly, it becomes like a burning energy inside of her that needs to get out.

“I feel it right now,” she told the Hope Standard during a meeting over a Pina Colada smoothie at the Blue Moose.

Sports Skydiving a sport for the adventurous of heart Barry Stewart The Hope Standard Some people will do anything to get their names in the paper —yes, even jump out of airplanes!

Hope Secondary grad of 2010, Kayla Sullivan got a surprise 23 birthday gift of a skydiving jump from her friend Rachel Brouwer. And no: Brouwer had no intention of coming along for the ride.

“I had always wanted to go — but I wanted to share the experience with someone,” said Sullivan on Sunday, four days after her epic adventure. “I held off doing it because I didn’t find anyone. People were pretty hesitant.

“Then I was in Hope last week and on Monday I randomly texted Blake Hudie and he said ‘Sure!’”

Hudie, also 23, graduated with Sullivan.

They had both been on airplanes before but neither had a history of great feats of bravery — or foolishness.

“I’m not afraid of heights but I’ve only ever hiked before. I think Mount Frosty is the highest place I’ve been,” said Sullivan.

Hudie put up Playland’s old-school roller coaster as his most thrilling ride before last Wednesday. Amazingly, he still thinks the roller coaster was scarier.

“I haven’t done any other activities one might consider extreme, such as hang-gliding, bungee jumping, or even jumping off the cliffs at Kawkawa Lake,” said Hudie. “I’ve been ziplining before, although I don’t consider it to be very daring.

“Initially, I was surprised at Kayla’s text message, as it’s not common to receive an invitation to go skydiving,” added Hudie. “However, my excitement quickly grew, as skydiving was one of the items on my bucket list.”

After getting suited up and oriented by staff at Skydive Vancouver’s Drop Zone in the Fraser lowlands of Abbotsford, Sullivan and Hudie were taken to the airstrip, where they would meet their instructors and board the airplane.

PHOTO BY BLAKE HUDIE “We had five first-timers and five instructors, who have done thousands of jumps each,” said “Are we actually going to do this?” Hope Secondary grads of 2010, Blake Hudie and Kayla Sullivan prepare their nerves for their Sullivan. “They said on a busy weekend, they’ll first-ever skydiving session, at Abbotsford last week. have 100 jumpers in one day.”

These would be tandem jumps, with each instructor firmly harnessed to their first-timer. There wasn’t much chance to pick your place once you enter free-fall for the first time, you’re going to feel the adrenaline.

“Free-fall lasted for about 30 seconds, the first five of which I feel you spend adjusting to in the order according to Sullivan. The instructors left their previous partners at the landing the sensation. For the rest of the fall, sheer excitement and feelings of empowerment take zone, got loaded with a new parachute and came over to pair up with the new jumpers.

“The order of skydivers jumping out of the plane is determined on the order of which we over.”

Sullivan likened the first few seconds to the feeling you get when you descend in a quick climbed into the plane,” said Hudie. “As the last one on, I was the closest to the door and elevator. the first one out.”

“After that, the instructor taps you on the shoulder and you can put your arms out,” said Some guys have all the luck!

Sullivan. “It felt so surreal! You feel like you’re floating — though you definitely need goggles After about a 10 minute climb to over 10,000 feet, they readied for the jump.

“Although I would have liked to watch someone jump out before me, it was quite a simple for the free-fall.

“We could see all the way to Hope. When the parachute is drawn, you get pulled back for process,” said Hudie. “All you have to remember is to keep your legs and head back, and a second, then you float.” hips forward, as your instructor is the one who pushes you both out.

Hudie figured the floating lasted three to five minutes.

“Safety wasn’t a concern at this point,” said Hudie stoically. “I didn’t experience any anxi“I didn’t realize it before, but you have a lot of control with the parachutes. They maneuety until my feet were on the edge of the plane door, seconds before jumping out.”

By getting on the plane early, Sullivan had a chance to watch the early jumpers — and bail ver well, and can brake very swiftly,” he said. “My instructor let me handle the parachute for some time before playing around with it himself. The landing itself was very soft, with out on the looming leap, if things didn’t look comfortable.

“I definitely wanted to watch the first to go out,” she said, “but I wasn’t nervous at all. We almost no impact.

“I felt safer jumping out of the plane than riding on the wooden roller coaster at Playland, were both very calm.” Out went Hudie and his instructor, Rob Spedder — they would soon so if you’ve ever been on — and enjoyed the roller coaster, I highly recommend saying ‘yes’ reach about 200 km/h.

“I think people psych themselves out by working it up in their heads,” said Hudie. “But if a friend ever invites you to go skydiving.”

PETERS, Frederick Gerald

Frederick “Slim” Gerald Peters passed away peacefully surrounded by family and friends on August 15, 2015 at Fraser Canyon Hospice at the age of 53. Slim was known for his selflessness and kindness of heart. He earned the respect and love of his family, coworkers and many lifelong friends. He was a goaltender for the Seabird Island Men’s Soccer Club. He was an avid sports fan and music lover with an incredible memory for stats and players in football, hockey and his favorite bands and music. He carried on the teachings of his Grandmother who taught him how to wind dry fish to provide for the family. He also loved sport fishing for salmon and halibut on the West coast. Trout fishing and duck hunting were lifelong endeavors.

He was a high school graduate from Agassiz Secondary School. He was a Class C welder and held many certificates like First Aid. He worked primarily for Serpentine Cedar in Fort Langley and on the Coast. His presence will be missed but his spirit, smile, wit and laughter will be a comfort and a happy memory to us all. The family wishes to express heartfelt gratitude to Dr. J.P. Greggain and the wonderful nurses of Fraser Canyon Hospital and Hospice for their kindness, care and compassion. A special thank you to Seabird Island Health Department and staff. Prayers will be held at Seabird Island Gym on August 21, 2015 at 7 pm.
