Courageous police service dog Duke saves the day, with a nose for a compass, Duke led police to a missing man hiding in a cave on the Coquihalla River.

Mounties credit police service dog for saving man in raging river

Corporal Mike Rail Media Relations Officer

A male in need of medical attention was safely returned to hospital last Wednesday after RCMP were led to his hiding spot in the Coquihalla River by trusted police service dog — Duke.

After receiving a report on September 2, at around 12:30 p.m., police learned that a 26 year old male went missing while visiting the Othello Tunnels.

General Duty officers supported by the Integrated Police Dog Section and Hope Search and Rescue quickly arrived and began scouring the region for the missing man.

“The area is steep mountain terrain sloping down to the Coquihalla River,” said Cpl. Darryl Peppler of the Hope RCMP. “The river is swollen and torrent with the heavy rainfall over the past week.”

That is when Duke took charge, leading his handler Sgt. Chris Scott of the Integrated Police Dog Section from the Abbotsford Police Department

over a two kilometre track through some of the most demanding landscape the mountain has to offer.

As Duke tracked along the river, his handler remained diligent and aware to the danger of being swept away, with the potentiality they fall into the frigid water.

About an hour later, Duke led police to the missing man hiding in a cave in the river. The man was taken into custody by officers and returned safely to the hospital.

“The track was very dangerous — there was three feet of water in the cave and the water was rising. When Duke found the man I pulled the dog back and he knew it was a job well done,” said Scott.

“The situation could have had a much grimmer ending if not for Duke.”

The Integrated Police Dog Section provides support to every facet of police work, and often the officers and their ‘partners’ like Duke are faced with dangerous and demanding tasks during the course of a shift,” said Cpl. Mike Rail.

Charitable organization Challenger Charity Suppor t (CCS) was slated to open a low cost grocer y store on Wallace Street for low income earners ($30,000 or less,) early August; but, after signing a five year lease, new tenant and CCS President Kelly Fowler was informed by neighbours of a severe rat problem.

“We had already started painting and put a couple thousand in the store, and our neighbours told us there were rats a foot long in the building,” said Fowler. “So, we took loaves of bread and potato chips and left them behind — when we came back the place was torn up and there was rat urine and

feces ever ywhere.”

Fowler opted to negate the terms of the lease he signed, and is currently being sued by the current owners.

“I don’t think it will hold up in court, I mean, we would get sued for selling food in a place like that — it would have been disastrous,” he told The Hope Standard The building owners, who are from Burnaby, flat out misrepresented the property and left a bad taste in the mouth of a much needed organization in Hope according to Fowler.

“Hope really needs a place like this, but it was a big turn off, and we decided on Chilliwack.”

Improving adult literacy in Hope The provincial government is granting $28,977 to the Read Right Society to provide residents of Hope with the literacy skills they need to participate in B.C.’s growing economy.

“Our government wants to make sure all British Columbians have the skills they need to find rewarding careers,” Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness said. “Strong reading, writing and math skills are the starting point for many adults looking to upgrade their education, enter skills training programs and secure a good job.”

The grant comes from the $2.4 million government has invested in community adult literacy programs in 75 B.C. communities in 2015-16.

Funding is distributed to non-profit community groups to offer free literacy training that is easily accessible in local places such as schools, Aboriginal friendship centres and

community centres.

The program is tailored to suit the needs of any adult with low-literacy ability, and is delivered by trained volunteers offering one-to-one tutoring or small-group classes.

Community organizations collaborate with a public postsecondary institution in their region.

These partnerships encourage the transition of adult learners from literacy programs to post-secondary studies and/or employment training. Read Right Society is collaborating with the University of the Fraser Valley. Since 2001, the provincial government has invested more than $25 million in community adult literacy programs, helping approximately 100,000 adults improve their reading, writing and math skills.

CAPSULE COMMENTS About 40% of Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. If you could lower your risk would you do it? When the link between smoking and lung cancer was made public in the 1960s, deaths from the disease dropped signi¿cantly. So stopping smoking is the right thing to do. Other ways you can reduce your cancer risk is to exercise daily (at least 30 minutes), eat less red meat (2x weekly, max) and keep your weight in check.

can also decrease your risk of diabetes. The weight-loss doesn’t have to be a lot. Just a 5-10% drop in your weight can decrease your blood pressure and cholesterol.

Vaccinne a reminder for back to school With communicable diseases such as whooping cough and measles making a comeback, Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perr y Kendall is reminding parents to make sure their children's vaccines are up to date as they return to school.

"By the time a child reaches five or six years old, he or she should have received booster shots that protect against measles, polio, chicken pox, whooping cough and more, and kids in Grade 6 and 9 should receive follow-up vaccinations," Kendall said. "This is all part of B.C.'s free, routine immunization program."

Parents can now sign up for free text message reminders at immunizebc.ca/reminders, and the website also offers a smartphone app to manage immunization records.

Kendall advocates that B.C. should join Ontario and New Brunswick in requiring parents to provide vaccination records when children are enrolled in school.

Vaccinations themselves would not be mandator y, but the records would allow schools to exclude unprotected children during outbreaks of communicable disease, and give public health authorities an opportunity to help parents fill gaps in their children's protection.

I have been working as a family physician in Hope, BC for past six years. I initially worked as a locum, and two years ago I started my own practice at the Hope Medical Centre. Having a family practice here means that I am able to serve a very diverse population. I like the smalltown feel of this community and that I am able to get to know my patients and their families. I have recently stepped into the role of Chief of Emergency Medicine as well as do shifts in the ER at the Fraser Canyon Hospital. I do some work at the Fraser Canyon Open Access Clinic, and make home visits for those patients who are homebound. My hobbies include spending time in the outdoors, from hiking and running to skiing and paddle-boarding. I also enjoy travelling and of course, spending quality time with my family.

From left to right: Kenny Nishimura Victoria Louis, Ionela Garrett and Graeme Steer enjoy a moment together at Tillicum Centre on Friday, September 4.

September marks the second annual disability month Inclusive hiring can help businesses attract and retain skilled employees, and expand their range of customers and clients.

To increase awareness and promote the hiring, inclusion and advancement of people with disabilities in B.C., the Province has proclaimed September 2015 as the second annual Disability Employment Month.

The Province has set a goal to have the highest labour-market participation rate for people with disabilities in B.C. of any province in Canada by 2024. This is one of the goals of Accessibility 2024, the government's 10-year action plan to make B.C. the most progressive place for people with disabilities in Canada.

“We’ve heard from businesses across B.C., there is a growing business case for hiring people with disabilities. Diverse employees bring new skills and perspective to a business - and can make it more welcoming to a broader range of customers,” said Minister of Social Devolpment and Social Innovation Michelle Stilwell.

“Hiring people with disabilities is good for business.”

Throughout September, Stilwell, along with Parliamentary Secretary for Accessibility Linda Larson and partners across government, business and the non-profit sectors, will be promoting the business case for inclusive hiring.

WorkBC Employment Services Centres will be hosting open houses and job fairs to highlight the range

of resources available to support disability employment, including Free Rein Associates in Hope.

“Disability Employment Month is a chance to highlight the resources available to help people with disabilities find employment and for employers to hire a more diverse workforce,” said Larson.

“Government offers a range of supports, including assistive technology programs and training and education opportunities for post-secondary students with disabilities.”

British Columbians with disabilities are an important talent pool and potential customer base for B.C. businesses, as the province expects about one million job openings by 2020.

Currently, around 334,000 British Columbians aged 15 to 64 years identify as having a disability and according to the 2012 Canadian Survey on Disability, approximately half of Canadians with disabilities within that demographic are employed.

55 per cent of persons in the aforementioned category with disabilities, participate in the labour market, compared to 78 per cent of persons without disabilities.

The average cost of workplace accommodations for a person with disability is $500 or less. From April 1, 2015, to July 31, 2015, the Employment Program of BC provided personalized case-managed services to over 55,000 people, of which more than 21,000 had identified as having a disability.

“They are always happy to be at work — they have a great attitude, they’re on time and the customers love them,” said Ebi Fazzari from Rona, Hope B.C. “They will even show customers where stuff is, if they are asked.”

Rona currently has five employees from Tillicum Centre in Hope. Tillicum is a local facility designed to encourage the development, employment, integration and to enhance the quality of lives of its clients.

B.C. is the first province to introduce the Annual Earnings Exemption, so people receiving disability assistance can calculate their earnings up to $9,600 on an annual basis, instead of monthly.

This allows workers with a disability to keep more of the money they earn. From Dec. 3, 2013, to March 11, 2014, the B.C. government held a public consultation to provide British Columbians with a disability, their families and members of the public, the opportunity to share their thoughts on what government, businesses and communities can do to reduce barriers and increase accessibility for people living with disabilities.“For many people with disabilities, employment can help them live more independent lives and become active members in their community.

“As a society, we need to continue to recognize and address the barriers - ranging from technological to attitudinal, that people with disabilities can face at work, or when looking for work.”

HIV criminalization puts B.C. residents at risk People living with HIV (PLHIV) in B.C. are being prosecuted in numbers that show no signs of slowing down. Under current charge guidelines, residents of this province can and are being put on trial for aggravated sexual assault for not disclosing their HIV status to sexual partners before having sex, even if the risk of transmitting the virus is next to non-existent – for example, if a person has fully suppressed the virus in his or her blood through adherence to HIV medication, or properly uses a condom. HIV criminalization is a dangerous form of HIV stigma, which has, for decades, produced fear and intolerance directed towards people living with HIV. By the end of 2015, the number of people investigated and/or prosecuted because of HIV criminalization in B.C. is estimated to rise to 20 or more. Certain Canadian residents are more vulnerable to HIV criminalization – men of

colour and heterosexual men. In over 90 per cent of criminal charges related to HIV non-disclosure in Canada, charges were laid against men, with 72 percent being laid against heterosexual men. From 2004 to 2009, men of colour accounted for 50 per cent of all heterosexual cases, whereas Caucasian men accounted for 41.7 per cent.

Men who have sex with men are also being prosecuted in rising numbers. The key to ending HIV criminalization and HIV stigma is by calling on B.C.’ s Criminal Justice Branch to change current charge guidelines for HIV non-disclosure. But people can also help reduce stigma by learning about and talking about the problem via the recently launched HIV Anonymous campaign. The campaign (www.hivanonymous.ca) features an online platform where PLHIV can talk anonymously about their lived experience, and how stigma has affected their lives.

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

“Who’s minding the posts?”

More than a few times a day we head to our Facebook page where we can see, and moderate to a degree, what's been said about our stories through comments on our website.

To be honest, it's done defensively, almost with fear.

We are not afraid of any criticism of our stories — that comes with the territory. What makes us tremble is the possibility there will be a comment that's libellous, in the pure legal sense of the word or hedging toward such an outcome. Or in poor taste. Or a personal attack. Or a comment filled with foul language.

We have seen all of the above.

Often, we get ideas from the non-troubling comments, ways to advance or follow up on a story that we did not consider or did not have time to pursue.

For that we are thankful.

But it's the dark side we fear.

There have been successful lawsuits against people who have posted libellous comments on Facebook and other social media sites, but that doesn't seem to stop anyone.

The problem is the lack of filters. Both personally (individual people who comment) and with so-called moderators.

Those who call themselves moderators usually lack any professional experience regarding libel. Or at least it looks that way. They tend to lean toward the free-speech, anything-goes model of public discussion.

That's all well and good in theory, but what about real life? A store that one complains about might knee-jerk react to an inflammatory comment about its operations and put someone who supports a family out of a job. A person attacked may be struggling with mental health challenges and be pushed over the edge by mean-spirited comments.

Everything we publish goes through multiple sets of eyes before it hits the paper. Many of these eyeballs have decades of experience looking for the legal land mines of defamation. We also have an experienced media lawyer ready to take our call, and provide advice, at a moment's notice. By no means is this absolutely foolproof or an exact science, but how many so-called moderators have those checks and balances?

Reports on the death of newspapers have been greatly exaggerated.

We can't speak about other markets, but the residents and businesses of Parksville Qualicum Beach continue to support this traditional form of media.We are humbled and grateful for that. As self-serving as this seems, we also believe that support keeps alive a more responsible, professional forum for public discourse.

Urban society slides into helplessness Tom Fletcher Black Press Of all the immature, ignorant whining that came out of the recent power failure in the Lower Mainland, one example summed up the decline of our urban culture for me.

It wasn’t the people who flooded 9-1-1 with calls demanding to know when their power would be restored, or complaining about their freezers. It wasn’t those on Twitter insisting BC Hydro pay for food that went bad. It was another social media moment.

With part of his community without electricity for a third day, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart went to his Facebook page, which has a wide following. There he pleaded with residents to stop phoning city hall to demand that a local big-box supermarket provide milk and eggs.

Power had been restored at the store only a few hours before, in the dead of night, and it’s safe to assume that all stores were working flat out to restock perishables.

Where do people get the notion that city hall, or whatever allpowerful nanny state they imagine, controls grocery stores? How do they conclude that in the midst of the worst electrical grid failure on record, BC Hydro is going to address their personal

situation above all others?

Vancouver broadcast media weren’t much better. Their big focus was that BC Hydro’s website crashed, so people couldn’t call it up on their smartphones and find out instantly when their power would be back on.

Some even questioned why wireless power meters didn’t help.

Perhaps these were the same journalists who fed the tinfoil-hat superstition about their signals.

The facts should be known by now. After an extremely dry spring and summer, a high wind shattered trees and took down more wires and poles than BC Hydro had ever coped with before. Further damage was done within areas that were already blacked out, leaving overtaxed technicians unable to accurately assess the full extent of it.

In Coquitlam and elsewhere, poles were down in areas too rain-saturated for heavy repair trucks to reach. Yes, there were some too-optimistic repair estimates given out, in response to the constant screeching for instant answers.

About 15 years ago I experienced my worst power outage in the Fraser Valley. In a semi-rural area with little backup grid capacity (since greatly improved), my family went three days without power. This was in winter, due to wind and freezing rain followed by snow and cold.

Trickles of water kept pipes from freezing, and the gas stove provided a bit of heat. I heard no complaints about the crews struggling around the clock with the dangerous job of repair.

Media coverage was mostly adult supervised.

Megastorm madness isn’t an isolated case. A couple of weeks before that, a temporary construction bump on the Lion’s Gate Bridge deck caused panic and rage.

Aggravated by a couple of accidents on the alternate route, and fed by hysterical media, drivers of West Van luxury cars were white-knuckled. Traffic choked the region that recently declined to pay a bit more for road improvements.

In both cases, people outside Lotus Land were muttering: Welcome to our world.

This is pertinent to the federal election. Are you competent to save for your retirement with RRSPs and a tax-free savings account, or do you need the government to do it for you, by force?

Are you capable of managing your own child care, or should the nanny state create a hugely subsidized system, which has already failed in Quebec, from coast to coast?

Are you ready for the day when the machine stops?

On a related note: it's impossible NOT to connect the three funding announcements made in July by Strahl, with the election campaign we all knew was about to start.

If the ethics of that do not concern you, then consider this: regardless of the outcome of the race here in Chilliwack-Hope it is extremely unlikely the Conservative party will return another majority government, likely not form the official government at all. If the new government behaves the same way, this last-minute Conservative favouritism (some call it pork-barrel politics) could come back to haunt us. The knife is two-edged.

Terry Fox Run coming to Hope soon The 35th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run is nearing on the calendar. Terry had a dream in 1980 to try and raise $1 for every Canadian citizen. To date, many millions of dollars have been raised, and much progress has been made in cancer research. For example, if Terry was alive today, they say he wouldn’t have lost his leg.

That was 35 years ago.

Terry ran for 143 days, 42 km per day, while running about 5,000 km. Please join in, here in Hope, to help keep Terry’s dream alive. The local run/walk will be held on Terry Fox Day — Sunday, September 20.

This year the event will be a downtown Hope route, beginning in Memorial Park with registration starting at 9 a.m. Participants are encouraged to bring a donation or a plege from neighbours and friends. There is no fee and any amount is welcome. Donations over $20 will enable you to receive an official income tax receipt in January.

The run/walk is really not a race. Participants go as far as they want, or are able to. The route will be

marked with 3 km, 5 km, or 10 km, and it is open to everyone to run, walk, stroll, bike or inline skate. The route is also wheelchair and stroller accessible. There is no obligation to go any set distance. We want everyone to enjoy the event.

This year, Terry Fox T-shirts will be for sale. They are available at the Rec Centre and will also be featured at the run. All donations can be received at any time at the Rec Centre, for anyone who wants to donate.

Some TF trivia: there are 14 schools and 15 roads named for Terry, as well as a mountain on the Yellowhead Hwy, up near Valemont. TF Runs are held in 31 countries around the world, and the largest outside Canada is Cuba. 83 cents of each dollar raised goes toward Cancer research.

Last year we raised over $2000 in Hope and had 61 participants. This year, let’s show everyone that Hope cares! See you there!

Police announce changes for response to alarms Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment: RCMP serving Chilliwack, Hope, Agassiz, Harrison Hot Springs, and Boston Bar are changing how they respond to false alarms. Effective September 1, 2015 property alarms must be verified before police will take action.

Police are defining a ‘verified alarm’ as one that has been confirmed by a property representative, key holder, witness or verification by two-way voice communication, video monitoring, multizone, or glass break activation.

We are making the public aware of our change in policy which will place more of an onus on alarm owners to be responsible for the maintenance and operation of their systems.

Police will continue to respond to all monitored

panic and medical alarms.

From the beginning of 2015 police have responded to over 1,400 false alarm complaints in the UFVRD taking us away from higher priority investigations — the change provides better utilization of our resources.

Here are some tips to help avoid a false alarm:

• Have your alarm tested and serviced regularly.

• Have your alarm monitored by video or voice.

• Know how to operate your alarm system.

• Ensure property representatives are available.

In regard to Candidates Weigh in On Wild Salmon (The Progress, Sept. 2) www.theprogress.com/news/323943571.html

To recap, river temperatures have been life-threateningly high for salmon this summer and the two record-high-temperature months are a harbinger of what's to come. Not their only threat, but the most dire. Mark Strahl's reference to record returns in the last five years is whistling past the graveyard, and the recent Conservative party announcement of "new" funding is just cynical - because it's a drop in the bucket compared to the $1 billion stripped from Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) as Seonaigh MacPherson references.

A far more effective measure would be to reverse the legislation passed by the Conservatives that removed fish habitat protection, referenced by Thomas Cheney.

The funding also purports to largely finance "projects" rather than provide that much more needed habitat support framework (the work of DFO). And of course, there's that "timing" thing with the Conservatives yet again.

To say nothing of the Conservatives ignoring their own $26 million Cohen Commission on Fraser Sockeye Salmon, as Louis De Jaeger referenced.

FOR YOUR UNWANTED GOLD!

Are longer dry spells going to be the norm for the Pacific Northwest?

A prediction is being made for it to continue at least into next year and possibly longer. So now is a good time to make an assessment of the trees, shrubs and perennials in our gardens regarding the moisture that they needed during our dry spring and summer. Some plants didn’t survive even with a weekly watering, and may have to be replaced with plants that are drought-tolerant or eliminated. A larger selection of plants which survive in arid conditions will be sold in local greenhouses in the future.

Every gardener has decisions to make regarding climate changes and how we plan, plant and grow our ornamentals and vegetables.

Questions and Answers What drought-tolerant perennials will provide colour in the fall?

Many perennials will grow in our dry summers and wet winters and even flourish. For healthy plants provide good quality soil with deep drainage, proper spacing and a mulch to retain moisture. New plantings will need more water until they are established. The perennials that are drought-hardy and can be seen in local gardens

at the present time are: Rudbeckia ‘Goldstrum’ (black-eyed Susan;) tall sedums, a succulent with pink flowers and ground cover sedums; yarrow in yellow to paprika shades; echinacea, a cone flower available in many colors; gaillardia or blanket flower in autumn shades; hardy salvias or sage in lavender, blue or violet; liatris, tall spikes in white to pink blooms; Shasta daisy; hollyhocks; goldenrod, the hybrid; garden phlox and at the foot of the flower garden many shades of heucheras are available. Several of the plants mentioned are available in dwarf heights and mildew-resistant such as the “David’ phlox.

Why do so many experts advise watering plants in the morning rather than in the evening?

There is a saying, “you wouldn’t go to bed with your feet wet, so why would your plants?” There are ‘pros and cons’ regarding the best time to water. Watering in the morning allows the plant to drink during the warm day, but could evaporate before soil absorption in hot sun.

It is believed by some that evening watering will lead to dampness desired by molds and mildews. We do get rain and dew in the evenings and at night so one would think there would be many plants affected by these diseases. The loss of plants from mold and mildew could occur if drainage is poor, foliage is too dense and air circulation is poor.

Watering should be done at the base

of the plant. The decision remains with the gardener as to the best time for themselves and the garden.

I have acquired a pot of mixed succulents earlier this year. They have outgrown their pot and need repotting.

Should I repot them or put them into a sunny garden bed?

If the succulents, such as ‘hen and chicks’, are hardy for this area they can be either pot or garden plants.

They will grow in most any soil except for compacted areas where drainage is poor. If the plants are non-hardy like the echeverias, they will not survive at a temperature below 5C. When grown indoors the succulents require a cool room and bright light close to the surface of the leaves, otherwise they tend to get leggy, ruining a nice compact appearance.

When can I prune my white hydrangea?

Since the species of hydrangea is not mentioned, I will assume it is white hydrangrea of the panicle species, Hydrangea paniculata. They bloom on new wood and should pruned in the fall or early spring before sprouting new foliage and bud set. The panicle species can be identified by a small, thin leaf with a rough texture and matt finish. For more info on identifying and pruning hydrangeas, an excellent site is www.hydrangreashydrangeas.com/ identify.html.

Columnist The popular online news site The Huffington Post just published an irresponsible series of articles and images promoting pit bulls as safe family dogs for their second annual “Pit Bull Week.” During those seven days a 25 year old woman was killed by her own beloved pit bull of 10 years, a 48 year old woman was mauled to death by her neighbour’s pit bull on her way to the mailbox, a toddler was rushed to hospital in critical condition because of his family pit bull, and at least 10 other people were savagely attacked in the U.S. by pit bulls. None of these horrifying tragedies were covered by the Huffington Post.

To be fair, many media outlets didn’t publish these

gruesome accounts. Perhaps in part because of the ferocious backlash from the vocal minority every time a news item presents pit bulls as anything but a harmless dog full of waggles and licks. The reason pit bulls get a bad rap is because they’ve earned it. Contrary to what the well funded pit bull advocacy camp likes to declare, the press is not to blame. They don't make these wretched stories up.

There are over 300 dog breeds worldwide and the American Kennel Club recognizes 167 of them, but the ones we hear about most in the media is by far the pit bulls, referring to the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier and their mixes with predominant pit bull characteristics.

Media does disservice to dogs From 8

The articles come from opposite ends of the spectrum: propaganda, such as what’s seen on the Huffington Post regularly, and factual, such as the severe and deadly mauling incidents that have become so disturbingly common you rarely see them circulating on social media.

To clarify, I am a huge animal lover and I don’t blame these dogs for the problem they’ve become. They are also victims and this was entirely human caused. Pit bulls were bred to be exceptional fighter dogs, to bite down, clamp and shake, and to hold onto their victim while they are being inflicted with physical pain themselves. They were never bred to be nanny dogs – that is an absolute myth that was debunked even by the pit bull advocacy group “BADRAP” which admitted promoting this belief was dangerous to children.

That retraction has been highly publicized, yet it is still repeated by pit bull advocates constantly.

Another alarming myth is that it’s all in how you raise them.

Pit bulls that were reared from puppyhood by good, responsible people who trained them to be gentle have still suddenly attacked, unprovoked and without warning after showing no prior signs of aggression. It is genetics. Border Collies were bred to herd, Retrievers to fetch, Bloodhounds to be master smellers and pit bulls to be magnificent aggressors.

This is why despicable lowlifes

use these powerful animals for their horrendous dog fighting rings. They don’t have to train them. Hundreds of years of inbred dog aggression gives them that instinct, and with their powerful jaws and muscular bodies they’re a force to be reckoned with.

I am not saying all pit bulls are going to attack, most won’t. And I am not saying they are the only dangerous dog breeds, they aren’t. But the fact is, they only make up 6 per cent of the dog population in the US, yet they are responsible for more fatal and disfiguring dog attacks on both humans and animals than all the other breeds combined.

Sports Red, white and pink up for grabs in the Fraser River Salmon fishing makes an appearance this season with the reopening of the Fraser fishery Barry Stewart Hope Standard Red, white and pink — those are the colours you’re looking for, if you’re fishing for salmon on the Fraser River. After a total closure of two weeks, the Fraser fishery has reopened, with more opportunities for retention.

The hot, dry summer and lower-than-expected sockeye returns, prompted Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) to not allow a sockeye sports fishery this season. Further, to offer sockeye their best chance of getting to their destinations, DFO enacted a two-week total closure to the Fraser sports fishery on August 15.

Before that, fishers could only retain Chinook (spring) salmon, which come in red-fleshed and white-fleshed varieties.

2014, had a long and productive sockeye sports fishery and Liu (a long time fisher) noticed its absence, even before the full closure took place.

“Compared to last year, it’s totally different,” said Liu on August 10. “Last year, it was busy all day long. This year, it’s busy in the morning then later in the afternoon.”

After a deeper lull during the August 15-29 closure, Liu said on Monday that business has picked up, with the opening of the pink salmon fishery and reopening of the chinook fishery.

Friday morning on a river bar near Flood, west of Hope, the action was almost continuous in a half-hour period, between only ten fishermen. Four springs in the 5-7 Kg range were landed, two more were lost and a pink was caught and released. One day later, the pink could have been retained, as DFO opened up the pink and chum fisheries on September 5.

A duo from Calgary and Surrey were especially productive, though they didn’t want their names published. The daily limit for springs is four, with only one being longer than 62 cm.

Because the Surrey fisherman had already caught his big spring for the day, when he hooked his next one, he raced upstream in his hip-waders to sportingly pass his rod to a self-described “newbie” so the man could land and retain the fish.

Secrecy in fishing is a time-honoured tradition, and Liu said she sees some of this at her shop. Some will freely share their techniques and what bar has been successful for them. Others proudly give half of the story — the size of the fish — but leave out the important part — the location — in an effort to keep the crowds away.

“The biggest spring so far this year was 37 pound, but they wouldn’t tell me where they were fishing,” said Liu. “There are lots of people catching 15, 16, 17-pounders. The Scale Bar is still popular.”

Liu added, “DFO doesn’t want people bottom-bouncing this year — but I hear they are still doing it.

Bottom-bouncing is the favourite method for catching sockeye, though it works for springs and pinks as well. Using a stationary bar-rig is DFO’s recommended way to target springs and prevent by-catch of sockeyes, though they haven’t come out with a total ban on bottom-bouncing.

The problem for fishers is that the two styles don’t mix. If three fishers are bottom-bouncing and a bar-rig is tossed into their path, all the bottom-bouncers will get hung up on the stationary rig.

If you want to do the “right” thing, find your own secret location, or get on the river before the bottom-bouncers and set the bar-rig trend for the day.

Fraser pink salmon spawn in the odd-numbered years, chiefly in the Mission to Hope stretch of the river — though Dominic the Hope and Yale First Nations fisheries manager, said some pinks go beyond Yale. Unlike the other species of Pacific salmon, they don’t necessarily need tributary streams for spawning; BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD they use the Fraser itself. Liu said the mouth of the Coquihalla is a popular spot to fish for pinks, with pink flies or pink lures Friends from Calgary and Surrey work together to bring in a 7 Kg spring salmon on the Fraser River, west of Hope on Friday. Fishing is now in common use. The bar at Rupert Street also offers easy access. open for chinook and pink salmon.

BRIGADE DAYS

T

he 47th annual Hope Brigade Days is about to commence in full swing this weekend.The events will kick off in high style on Friday, September 11 until Sunday, September 13. 2015, promises to bring with it a few twists and turns, new faces, venues, events, artists, games and sporting events.

Expect to be surprised, dazzled and awed with the extensive planning of the Hope Brigade Days Committee, a dedicated group that worked tirelessly to see the realization of Brigade Days 2015.

The volunteer committee began planning in November, and have been solidly chipping away at this year’s events. 2015, has been realized because of a host of sponsors, contributors, and the solid efforts of its committee members including President Dusty Smith, Vice President Mark Petryk; directors, Lori Isbister, Jim Lasser, Deb Romano, Dave Mawhinney and treasurer Schaelyn Harasin. “This year we doubled our budget for music,� President Dusty Smith and Vice President Mark Petryk, told The Hope Standard.

There will be a line-up of traditional events to enjoy and a myriad of exciting new ones on the schedule.

On the traditional side of things, there will be a resurgence of the infamous Bed Races on Wallace

Street, Saturday morning at 9 a.m.

The Bed Races will transform Hope’s main street into a bizarre and fantastic spectacle, turning it into a bonafide race track for some 20 plus teams of bed racers, as they compete to win the greatly coveted bed racing trophy.

Teams dressed in wild and zany costumes will zip down main street, and some will even be featured in their pajamas. “This event involves a group of five people, pushing a bed down Wallace Street,� said Smith of the antics to be expected Saturday morning.

Hope’s reputation as the chainsaw carving capital of the world will not be forgotten, as a nod to the chainsaw gods will be honoured by featuring chainsaw carving and Saw Valley legend Ryan Cook. “We’re trying to make it possible to have Cook do a live carving in a truck, during the parade,� said Smith.

Cook, also widely known as the wild blond haired carver, carved out the awesome Ninja Turtle during this year’s Chainsaw Carving Competition, and is scheduled to saw the heck out of blocks of wood for the viewer’s delight on Saturday and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Cook has quickly become one of the top carvers in the

world of chainsaw sculpting. He carves full time out of Britannia Beach, British Columbia, and has competed all over the world.

He turned pro in the summer of 2013 at the Campbell River Shoreline Arts Competition where he took first place.

As a carver of only four years, he has been fortunate enough to be invited to the English Open, The Dutch International

and

this

year’s

Invitational World

Championships in Chetwynd, B.C. Initially, Cook was an actor hired to play the role of “The Apprentice� on Saw Dogs.

Never having actually carved a day in his life before the show, it’s safe to say he has come a long way.

In his spare time he really likes talking about himself in the third person.

Another fiercely anticipated crowd pleaser this year is the appearance of Kevin Harris in the Skateboard Show. Harris is a world-renowned skateboarder and has taken the helm as a pro.

T

he 47th annual Hope Brigade Days is about to commence in full swing this weekend.The events will kick off in high style on Friday, September 11 until Sunday, September 13. 2015, promises to bring with it a few twists and turns, new faces, venues, events, artists, games and sporting events.

Expect to be surprised, dazzled and awed with the extensive planning of the Hope Brigade Days Committee, a dedicated group that worked tirelessly to see the realization of Brigade Days 2015.

The volunteer committee began planning in November, and have been solidly chipping away at this year’s events. 2015, has been realized because of a host of sponsors, contributors, and the solid efforts of its committee members including President Dusty Smith, Vice President Mark Petryk; directors, Lori Isbister, Jim Lasser, Deb Romano, Dave Mawhinney and treasurer Schaelyn Harasin. “This year we doubled our budget for music,� President Dusty Smith and Vice President Mark Petryk, told The Hope Standard.

Street, Saturday morning at 9 a.m.

The Bed Races will transform Hope’s main street into a bizarre and fantastic spectacle, turning it into a bonafide race track for some 20 plus teams of bed racers, as they compete to win the greatly coveted bed racing trophy.

Teams dressed in wild and zany costumes will zip down main street, and some will even be featured in their pajamas. “This event involves a group of five people, pushing a bed down Wallace Street,� said Smith of the antics to be expected Saturday morning.

Hope’s reputation as the chainsaw carving capital of the world will not be forgotten, as a nod to the chainsaw gods will be honoured by featuring chainsaw carving and Saw Valley legend Ryan Cook. “We’re trying to make it possible to have Cook do a live carving in a truck, during the parade,� said Smith.
