Tuesday’s storm reached epic proportions, wreaking havoc on all citizens, as winds reached hurricane speeds of 120km/h. All of Hope shut down, shortly after 12 p.m., following power outages. Trees were uprooted in the Hope Valley RV Park, as residents sought shelter from the scattered debris and fierce winds.

Future prime minister unites peers in mock government Erin Knutson Hope Standard To celebrate United Nations & Unicef International Children's Day, local dignitaries MP Mark Strahl, MLA Laurie Throness, Electoral B Director Dennis Adamson, and Mayor Wilfried Vicktor met up for a mock voting and question period at the Rec Centre.

The event was orchestrated by seven year old Violette Freimark and was attended by approximately 30 kids aged six to 12 from Coquihalla Elementary School. Dignitaries eloquently fielded questions by the young students, addressing issues such as human rights violations, climate change, inflation and elected government official salaries (to which officials answered with full transparency.)

Violette organized the event along with her mom Catherine to help her fellow peers gain a better understanding of their rights and voice in modern government.

It all started when the aspiring future prime minis-

ter, aged seven, wanted waffles in bed. It was Mother’s Day, and upon her mother receiving breakfast in bed for the special occasion, Violette innocently asked, “when is it kids day?” and to that her mother suggested they find an answer to the pressing question.

After a successful google search the curious pair discovered the unique day, an International Children’s day the United Nations officially declared for November 20.

The emboldened young politician in training, felt it was appropriate to petition the local government to create a mock voting and question session, based on her desire to help others, especially children suffering disparities in local and foreign countries.

“I was very nervous,” said Violette of meeting up with her mock political counterparts and asking them to join her for the event. “They were all very nice,” she said of the four gents who graciously accepted her invitation.Violette imparted to The Hope Standard that she was a bit apprehensive about speaking publicly for the first time, but that she enjoyed the experience

“I felt more grown up,” she said of the session. “And, I want everyone to know that voting is super easy.”

The home schooled gymnast enthusiast and pink lover, suggested that providing clean water, food, and education to children across the globe, and VIOLETTE FREIMARK especially young girls was top on her list for things she would change or expedite through political involvement and activism.

“I think it’s important to encourage voters at a young age, and I want kids to know they can make a difference.” With money saved from an independent business venture in lemonade and fresh cut flowers, Violette contributed $15 of her earnings to help children overseas receive clean water through United Nations & Unicef International.

Council Briefs October 13, 2015 Presentation by Dr. Joshua Greggain, Family Physician and Site Medical Director and Ken Becotte, Executive Director, Chilliwack Division of Family Practice Provided an overview of “A GP for Me” Initiative and strategies being implemented in Hope. The aim of A GP for Me, which utilizes the Patient Attachment Mechanism (“PAM”), is to strengthen the primary care provider-patient continuous relationship, enable patients who want a primary care provider to find one and increase the capacity of the primary health care system. To date, 367 patients in Hope have been referred by PAM to GP’s in the community.

Clear their driveways and entrances. Property owners/occupants are responsible for clearing sidewalks adjacent to their properties. It is dangerous to place snow on the roadway. When clearing your driveway, pile the snow on the left side of your driveway (as you look towards your house). In many cases this will reduce the amount of snow that the plows push back into your driveway.

Council also presented Dr. Greggain with a certificate congratulating him for receiving the 2015 Above and Beyond Award for “Service Delivery Excellence”. Dr. Greggain was recognized for his physician recruitment and retention efforts within the Fraser Canyon, as well as his role in organizing and providing care and services to the Boston Bar community at Anderson Creek Health Clinic by

Distraught male apprehended by police The Hope RCMP received a disturbing call regarding a suicidal male with a gun on Thursday, November 12, at approximately 3:30 p.m., near Hope Secondar y School.

Due to the nature of the call there was a heightened police response, as the safety of the general public, police and despondent male were taken into consideration.

Upon attendance at the scene, investigation determined that the male no longer had access to any firearms.

The distraught male was apprehended without incident.

The matter has been referred to the local health ser vices for their follow up and the police investigation remains active.

Suicidal behaviour has been noted by officials around festive seasons for a variety of reasons.

“Unfortunately, it has been my experience that as we move closer to the holiday season these kind of incidents rise due to a variety of personal stresses that people are under,” Staff Sergeant Karol Rehdner told The Hope Standard.

Hemlock gets $1.5 billion expansion plan

Jennifer Feinberg Black Press A unique collaboration and a bold master plan will lead to a major transformation of Hemlock Resort into an all-season resort.

A five-phase expansion of the ski hill was announced Thursday from Hemlock Valley, featuring an innovative partnership between the B.C. government, Langley-

based Berezan Group and Sts'ailes Band.

"Hemlock Resort has been an important contributor to the local economy for decades," said Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness. "With this new master plan, Hemlock is better positioned to support continued economic development and tourism in the Fraser Valley as a unique allseason resort."

Since buying the resort in 2006, the proponent has invested $10 million into upgrades for 217 private homeowners. Now the "controlled" recreation area of the resort is set to explode from 350 hectares to 6,000 hectares.

CEPCO president Brian Coombes said he could see the inherent logic of turning Hemlock Resort into a year-round attraction.

"From a tourism perspective, the strength of Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley is as a regional destination. So having Hemlock Resort developed over time the way they

are planning to, will make Chilliwack and development on nearby Harrison Lake. the eastern Fraser Valley that much more Lakefront ideas include a indigenousappealing as a place to live and work. themed residential project and small marina, "If we can say a world-class all-season with a focus on year-round recreation like mountain resort is just 45 minutes away, mountain biking, hiking and ATVing. that's a huge plus for our area."

the year is starting to pay off," she said. "We are starting to see that number now come down and are effectively no longer using hallway beds to provide the care to the patients."

Another bright spot in the report card is that the average length of stay in hospital is down to 8.2 days, within 10 per cent of the target of 7.8 days, also indicating improving patient flow through wards to residential care or home care.

But too many "long-stay patients" are still occupying hospital beds for more than 30 days.

And too many extra days that don't need to be spent in hospital happen while patients that could be discharged wait for transfer to a care home or to home care or other specialized care with supports.

Fraser says it plans to open 34 new residential care beds soon to help improve that flow.

Juma predicted the ongoing work to add residential beds and improve community capacity "is also going to have impact as we start to move people out of the hospital into the places they need to be in the community and then out of those emergency beds into those inpatient beds."

Hospitals in the Fraser Health region have improved slightly from the spring on key indicators of congestion, but large numbers of incoming patients continue to wait too long to get a bed.

Fraser's latest report card suggests that remains a persistent problem despite repeated initiatives to improve patient flow.

As of September, it shows just under 40 per cent of admitted patients got a bed within a 10-hour benchmark so far this year.

That's far below a target of 55 per cent, which is itself lower than more ambitious targets that had been set in previous years and subsequently discarded.

A 2012 congestion review warned hallway medicine was so rampant in Fraser that staff were resigned that the jammed conditions would remain "intractable."

At that time, just 51 per cent of patients admitted through emergency were getting a bed within 10 hours.

The 39.8 per cent rate for 2015 is up from 35 per cent last May. Just two hospitals – Burnaby and Fraser Canyon – are currently meeting the 55 per cent target for YOUR VACCINATION CENTRE admission within 10 hours.

Instruction to protect children from "cyberbullying" should be included in B.C.'s new school curriculum, according to a new report from the province's independent child welfare and privacy officers.

The B.C. government's school anti-bullying program was put in place in June 2012. Four months later, 15-year-old Amanda Todd posted a video of her online treatment before she killed herself at her Port Coquitlam home, putting an international face on the dangers faced by young people socializing online.

In 2013, Nova Scotia teen Rehtaeh Parsons was also driven to suicide after explicit pictures of her were circulated on social media.

Amanda Todd’s video and suicide at age 15 became an international symbol for the dangers of online bullying.

Ellen Turpel-Lafond and Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham surveyed the laws and strategies in place inside and outside B.C. since then.

"The circumstances leading to the deaths of these two young women highlight the significant pain and suffering young people can endure when they are faced with repeated cruel treatment by their peers through online means," Denham and Turpel-Lafond conclude. Their report, presented Friday to the B.C. government, calls for more measures in schools in addition to the ERASE (Expect Respect And a Safe Education) strategy put in place in 2012. That strategy provides for anonymous reporting by students or

parents of bullying, either online or in person.

The report calls for the education ministry to "ensure that developmentally appropriate learning objectives about cyberbullying and digital citizenship be included in the provincial school curriculum and delivered to all school-age children as soon as possible."

Education Minister Mike Bernier said Friday the new school curriculum, which began implementation this fall, already includes "a focus on bullying behaviour and discrimination starting in Grade 4."

Bernier said in a statement the ministry has developed resources for teachers, with course objectives for different grades "about

cyberbullying, internet safety, privacy and security, relationships and communication."

Denham and TurpelLafond cite research showing that 99 per cent of young people have online access outside of school, and that

by Grade 11, more than half sleep with their phones nearby so they can exchange messages at night. They caution against parental efforts to monitor young people's communications around the clock, or to cut off their access.

"For young people, halting use of social media, websites, cellphones or email accounts is an impractical solution," the report states. "It would be equivalent to house arrest and social deprivation."

Hope Air helps British Columbians needing to travel for specialized health care will benefit thanks to $1.5 million in funding for Hope Air, announced Shirley Bond, MLA for Prince George-Valemount and Mike Morris, MLA for Prince GeorgeMackenzie, on behalf of Health Minister Terry Lake. Hope Air, a registered national charity, arranges free flights to those who can't afford the cost of an airline ticket to get to medical expertise or specialized medical technologies outside their home communities.

"We recognize that sometimes British Columbians must travel for the care they need," said Lake. "This funding ensures that patients of all ages have access to the specialized services they need to get well,

no matter where in the province they live."

Hope Air arranges flights through participating commercial airlines for those in financial need with a confirmed medical appointment.

In 2014, 5,098 flights were arranged through Hope Air, and for the first three months of 2015, 1,668 trips were organized.

"When someone in your family is ill it is hard enough to find the strength to cope with the day to day challenges that emerge.

Worrying about travel arrangements can be an unnecessary added stress factor," said Bond.

"This funding provided for Hope Air will help reduce barriers and ensure families can concentrate on what matters most, the health of their loved one."

Patients of all ages can use the service for medical appointments they can't get locally, such as those offered at BC Children's Hospital, BC Women's Hospital & Health Centre or the BC Cancer Agency.

"When a family member is sick and needs specialized medical attention, it shouldn't matter where they live," said Morris. "The funding being invested will help put their minds at ease so they can focus on what matters, which is caring for their loved ones."

Those needing travel assistance can contact Hope Air online at www.hopeair.ca or by calling 1 877 346HOPE. To access its services, apatient must demonstrate financial need, be a B.C. resident and have Medical Services Plan coverage.

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

Non-action on climate change over

No one was really surprised when President Obama cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline project last week. After nearly seven years of dilly-dallying, he made the strategic statement in the lead-up to the all-important international climate conference (COP21) in Paris at the end of the month.

He gave Prime Minister Trudeau a heads up before making the announcement and, while Trudeau may have expressed disappointment (he was in favour of this TransCanada Corporation project going ahead), it’s not going to stand in the way of the two leaders developing a positive and constructive relationship in the future.

After all, they are both on board about dealing with the consequences of climate change. “If we’re going to prevent large parts of this Earth from becoming not only inhospitable but uninhabitable in our lifetimes, we’re going to have to keep some fossil fuels in the ground rather than burn them and release more dangerous pollution into the sky,” Obama said. In a couple of weeks, the governments of more than 190 nations will be in Paris to discuss – and hopefully ratify - a new global agreement on climate change aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in order to avoid the threat of dangerous climate change. Many believe we’re already on an irreversible path but the mitigation focus is for a massive cutback in carbon-driven energy. COP21 comes at a time when oil prices have dropped by more than 50 per cent since the middle of last year. According to the International Energy Agency, they are likely going to stay low for the next five years because of plentiful supply and a falling demand in developed countries. A lot can happen in the next five years in terms of stepped-up investment in clean renewable energy. A long-term de-carbonization plan is essential to stimulate investment in renewable energy development. There are already some promising signs. According to the IEA’s World Energy Outlook 2015 report, “Renewables contributed almost half of the world’s new power generation capacity in 2014.”

The report forecasts that consumption of fossil fuel energy will continue to decline in the next twenty-five years as China’s dependence on coal plateaus, and demand for oil by the U.S. and the European Union declines by around four million barrels per day as viable alternatives kick in. Global demand for natural gas will be up by 47 per cent and oil and coal will collectively relinquish nine per cent of the global energy mix while renewables grow by five per cent. But natural gas, of course, comes with its own dark side given the consequences of fracking.

It’s a start but not enough yet to reach the target of keeping the world’s temperature increase to below two degrees C. Additional steps are needed including increasing investment in renewable energy technologies to $400 billion by 2030 from $270 billion last year. Over the next five years, renewable energy will represent the largest single source of electricity growth driven by falling costs and an aggressive expansion in emerging economies. With the dark days of Canada’s non-action on climate change under the Harper government behind us, PM Justin Trudeau and a posse of ministerial and provincial leaders will attend COP21. He’s taking his change message to Paris with the intent to re-set Canada’s commitment to mitigate climate change and rebuild relationships.

Green shift returns, goes global BC Views

We will soon learn what Premier Christy Clark and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have in mind for Canada’s renewed effort to influence climate change.

As they prepare to join the 40,000 people jetting to Paris for the next big United Nations summit to deal with human impact on the world’s weather, here is some context for what is to come in December and beyond. Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion served as environment minister under former Liberal prime minister Paul Martin. Then, as Liberal leader, Dion’s proposed “green shift” carbon tax was pivotal only in ending his leadership. With a majority government this time, Tom he promises the entire federal cabinet will be involved.

Dion gave a revealing interview to The Globe and Mail last week Fletcher about his experience in government.

“The old system was to give the file of the environment to the minister of the environment and say, ‘deal with it, be the hero of the environment groups, but don’t bother us because we have jobs to create and an economy to grow’,” Dion said. “That will not work.”

It certainly didn’t work, which is not surprising since Dion is admitting the Liberals considered the environment ministry a mere public relations tool. This was the period when Canada signed on to the Kyoto Protocol, then pretended to care about it as the United States rejected it in a unanimous vote of Congress.

We now understand more about those environmental groups, most funded by U.S. billionaires to target the Canadian oil and gas industry while the U.S. booms. Their tactics were on display in the defeat of the Keystone XL oil pipeline to the U.S., with arguments

that even President Barack Obama acknowledged were exaggerated.

Dion’s ill-fated “green shift” wasn’t just about greenhouse gases. He intended to impose a national carbon tax and use the proceeds to eliminate child poverty.

This concept is back, on a global scale. If you’ve been to the movies lately, you may have seen a slick animated commercial sponsored by the UN, featuring animals running the world from the seats of the General Assembly. “We have a plan,” trumpets the elegant llama at the podium, not only to fix climate change but to eliminate poverty as well.

One problem with Kyoto was that it left emerging economies like China and India untouched. And while Canada endures false allegations of subsidizing fossil fuels, actual subsidies are huge in petro-states like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Algeria and Indonesia, where gasoline sells on average at a third of Canadian prices.

China and India’s carbon emissions have about tripled since the Kyoto public relations gesture in 1997. That growth is one reason why Canada’s share of global emissions has now fallen to below two per cent.

Here in B.C., Clark intends to unveil her “Climate 2.0” plan before heading to Paris. We’ll see if it includes another increase in B.C.’s vaunted carbon tax, which now translates to about seven cents on a litre of gasoline. Even without carbon taxes, about a third of the pump price Canadians pay is federal, provincial and local tax. In Metro Vancouver, it’s closer to 40 per cent. In Venezuela, a big winner in the Keystone XL decision, gas sells for around two cents a litre. The B.C. government admits its post-carbon tax reduction in greenhouse gas emissions was largely due to the global recession of 2008-09. Now with crude oil at historic low prices, B.C.’s carbon tax is a weak signal lost in the noise of a world-wide glut of oil and gas.

Patzke letter Honouring fallen soldiers on Hope?

Editorial Department To discuss any news story idea you may have – or any story we have recently published – please call the editor at 604-869-4992.

A few days ago I was privy to hearing the following conversation between two longtime Hope women.

Woman #1 – “What did you think of the Patzke letter in The Standard?”

Woman #2 – “ It made me angry!” That’s exactly how I felt as well.

Ms. Patzke and I both lived in Hope back in the ‘50’s.

Was there garbage in people’s back yards?

Probably, but we didn’t notice. We were kids, and kids don’t notice those things.

Ms. Patzke moved away to the city, I remained in Hope, a place that I adore.

We aren’t a perfect town, but we’re friendly, mostly non-judgmental, and above all, we have compassion in time of need!

Ok, so our motto just might be “If you haven’t heard it by 10 a.m. make it up,” but we also have a beautiful downtown park, fantastic scenery, awesome lakes and streams – and a few homes with garbage in the backyard.

As for questioning our by-laws – if you take notice the by-laws in the city don’t prevent garbage from collecting in backyards and alleys either.

Prrrfect weather for a furry companion HOPE

FOR ALL YOUR IMMUNIZATION NEEDS!

FLU SHOTS HERE! Walk-in or by appointment WITH INJECTION CERTIFIED PHARMACIST SUBMITTED PHOTO

The BC SPCA is hosting a special adoption event from November 20-30 for loving pet guardians looking for a faithful companion for life.

“Hill’s® Science Diet® is excited to continue our long-term sponsorship of this special adoption event,” says Hill’s Pet Nutrition general manager Joe Giles. “The Hill’s Food, Shelter & Love® partnership program with the BC SPCA and our support of this event is a natural extension of our mission: To help enrich and lengthen

the special relationship between people and their pets. With the free bag of Science Diet® we provide with every adoption, our hope is that new pet guardians will continue the feeding regimen the BC SPCA has started, for a lifetime of health and happiness for their pet.”

Winter is coming to British Columbia, and as temperatures across the province start to drop, the BC SPCA is encouraging people who are thinking about adopting a furry family member to consider cats, and turn brrrs into purrs during its upcoming adoption event: From November, 20-30, all adult cat adoption fees are 50 per cent off. The half-price promotion is presented

by Hill’s® Science Diet.”

“It’s cold outside. We’re reminding British Columbians that when one cat is adopted, it frees up shelter space and allows us to bring another cat in from the frigid winter conditions experienced in much of the province,” says Lorie Chortyk, BC SPCA general manager of community relations.

“The society takes in several thousands of cats each year – right now, there’s more than 1,400 felines in BC SPCA care who need loving, forever homes.”

Homeless cats are a major issue in B.C., often suffering from injury, illness, predator attacks and frostbite. Illegal abandonment and animals who aren’t spayed or neutered contribute to the problem, as well as cats without permanent identification like a microchip or a tattoo, who are never reunited with their guardians.

The adoption fee includes vaccinations, spaying or neutering, permanent ID, any necessary medical care, and internal and external parasite treatment. Normal adoption counselling and matching takes place to ensure animals go to a good home, and Petsecure provides six weeks of free pet insurance. All cats are microchipped, and for only $12 annually or a $45 lifetime fee, the animal will be registered in the province-wide BC Pet Registry, bcpetregistry.ca, to help ensure if a pet is lost, it can be found and reunited with its family.

To encourage more BC residents to test their homes for radon, the BC Lung Association is giving away radon test kits to three lucky contest winners every month. Sign up at RadonAware.ca.

“We hope our monthly contest will inspire more people to take the health risk of radon more seriously.

Radon gas is accountable for up to 16 per cent of lung cancers and we suggest all BC residents test their homes,” says Tom DeSorcy, Volunteer BC Lung Association Director for Hope. Exposure to colourless, odourless radon gas is the leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. BC residents are urged to test their homes this winter.

“Should British Columbians be concerned about radon exposure? Yes. Should they panic? No,” says Britt Swoveland, RadonAware Manager for the BC Lung Association. “The risks from radon are cumulative, which means serious effects result from exposure to high levels over a long period of

time. But it is important residents test for radon and depending on the result, effective mitigation solutions exist.”

Measured in becquerels per cubic metre (Bq/m3), Health Canada recommends home radon levels not exceed a safety guideline of 200 (Bq/m3).

As there is no known safe level of exposure, the BC Lung Association recommends making every effort to minimize home radon levels to lowest levels possible.

“One house can have radon levels next to zero while the house next door can be off the charts,” continued Swoveland. “A certified radon mitigation professional can reduce radon levels in most homes by more than SUBMITTED PHOTO 80 per cent for about Tom DeSorcy, Volunteer BC Lung Association the same cost as other Director for Hope encourages BC homeowners to common home repairs, enter to win a radon test kit at RadonAware.ca. rarely more than $1,500 Lung Association’s away, affordable doto $3,500.”

and integrity based environment.

Working in accordance with prevention outreach agencies, homeless workers, nonprofits, BC Housing, The District of Hope, volunteers and the general community who help operate the motel, things are able to come together.

“Homelessness affects everyone and not accepting them, or putting high expectations on them doesn’t work,” said Keller. We take a holistic approach, centered on re-integration into the community.”

The Motel provides a safe, caring environment, that works with the individual as opposed to forcing the individual.

“We don’t want to create an institutionallike setting, that’s not what we want to do here,” said Keller.

Institutions behave like a band aid solution to much deeper problems, problems that need a more holistic and long term approach, according to the homeless program coordinator, who has been with the Motel, since its inception.

Ruth, a current resident at the Motel, told The Hope Standard that staff is great in helping residents with finances, while staying connected to services in the community like medical treatment, or recreation.

“We have food, stability and a clean home,” said Ruth.

Clients have the ability to contribute by doing different tasks, but it is not required of them.

“They generally enjoy helping out and they do it on their own,” said Keller.

The concept for the Motel was based on the idea of creating a comfortable living situation for clients, where they have the ability to live a harm reduction lifestyle; which, encourages gradual improvements to their unique circumstances, instead of extreme measures which often fail, due to the rapid and aggressive nature of treatment.

Treatment can take years for individuals, and often three month programs offered by wellness centres, or hospitals, don’t provide clients with enough time to properly address, treat or heal the root causes of their conditions according to Keller.

“When we were making the space, I thought, what could we put in it, that would make it feel like home,” said Keller. “We want people to get along and achieve a level of wellness.”

Keller admits that society is partly to blame for the current homeless population, a crisis that is continuing to be a prevalent and alarming issue in society, especially in urban areas.

“When an individual hits the age bracket between 20 and 60, they are typically thrown away by the system, so there is a massive amount of people who need support — people who aren’t able to make it on their own without enhanced supports and this creates a need.” The Motel currently has 24 units and a drop in centre as well as an emergency shelter that has four beds (two for men and two for women.) During extreme weather conditions beds are made available.

theme for the weekend and this left many of the Hope youths wondering “huh?”

“It was way before their time,” said Medlock. "So a week before the camp, we all watched Monty Python in our living room.”

Saturday was the big day for activities, including a scavenger hunt, slingshot shooting — and flinging rubber chickens and Spam with a catapult.

Speaking of Spam: there was also a “food” eating contest.

Spam was the main course,

accompanied by over-done hardboiled eggs, artificial bacon bits and canned beans.

“They had four rounds,” said Medlock. “The first was two hard-boiled eggs and half a can of Spam.

“The second was half a can of Spam, a hard-boiled egg and a quarter cup of bacon bits.

Josh Ogren came second in the first round — but he couldn’t stand the smell of the bacon bits, so he quit.

“Sequel Adamson went pretty far, too, but she got

sick later.

“The third round was another half a can of Spam and cold baked beans,” said Medlock, who looked a bit ill from recalling the gruesome cuisine.

“There were only three left for the fourth round: a quarter cup of Spam, a hard-boiled egg, beans and bacon bits.”

The winner? Ben Tuivai of Hope. “Ben had never eaten Spam before — but he finished first by far in each round,” said Medlock.

The most memorable event of the weekend had to be the outdoor dance, figured Medlock.

“It was in a torrential downpour but we had a huge bonfire made from pallets and milled lumber,” said Medlock.

“Someone had brought a travel trailer with a laptop and big speakers and they had lights flashing in the sky,” added Hambly.

“The kids were saying ‘Listen to the new music’ — but it was actually so old,” said

“We had to drag them back to their tents at 11:30 p.m.

They were so drenched but they didn’t care.”

By noon on Sunday, they were packed up and ready to head home. Medlock said she is usually a night owl but she crashed by 8 p.m. that night.

If you’re going to have a Scout campout called “Rainbucket,” holding it on the second weekend in November would be a very good idea.

Eleven Hope youths and four parent chaperones joined about 335 other Venturer and Rover Scouts for two nights of camping at Popkum and the weather fully cooperated.

“Both nights, it just poured,” said Yvonne Hambly, who went along as chaperone for the 14 to 17 year old Hope youths of the First Hope Venturer Company, now in its inaugural year.

“We had some tents with waterfront property,” she added.

Group Commissioner Crystal Medlock said, “We were the last to arrive on Friday night and we had to set up in the dark, with the help of car headlights. We couldn’t see where most of the puddles were and we had water problems by the last day — not inside the tents, though, just at the front door.

“You certainly didn’t have to hammer the tent pegs into the ground. You just pushed them in with your hand — the ground was so soft. We had tarps to cover all the tents, so no rain actually got inside them.

“It wasn’t a skills camp, like in the summer. It was social camp,” explained Medlock, whose husband Scott and fellow Scout leader Shanon Fischer also went along for the weekend. “Within half an hour of setting up camp, our kids went around to the other groups and came back with about 30 other kids. They’re such a friendly, social bunch.

Good kids.”

The camp was hosted and organized by the older Rover Scouts of the Fraser Valley.

Medlock said the Rainbucket campout has been going on since 1982 and held at the Popkum site since 2007. The camp is located on land owned by the Cheam First Nation.

Campers came from as far away as North Vancouver and Summerland.

OBITUARIES

RIVARD, Joseph Marie It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father after his battle with cancer.

Joseph was born in Saint-Zénon-du-LacHumqui, Quebec on March 23, 1942. He passed away in Hope British Columbia on November 9, 2015.

He is survived by his wife, Pauline and their four children, Robert (Brenda), Debbie (Harold), Lise (Kevin), Natalie (Wayne), and his eight grandchildren.

Our father instilled in us many admirable traits. To state only a few; honesty, empathy, responsibility and the value of hard work.

Father, we thank you for all you have done for us. You are forever in our hearts.

A memorial will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2015 from 2:30 - 5:30 pm at the Hampton Inn, Chilliwack BC, 850 Lickman Rd.

PATIENT TRANSFER ATTENDANT (Driver) based in Hope, BC for regularly scheduled dialysis runs.

Qualifications include: • A valid Class 4 BC Driver’s license, with 7 years of total Driving Experience

DOLAN, Donald

July 3, 1931 - October 17, 2015 He was outgoing, gregarious and sometimes outrageous. He was called many things in his life - dreamer, roamer, elusive, fortune hunter and deal maker. He could talk the ear off anyone who would listen. Musically talented, he could sing and play the piano, banjo and mandolin.

He has come to the end of his journey. Forget that he has stumbled, blundered and sometimes fell by the way. Remember him at his best, strolling in a forest listening to the rustle of leaves under foot; feeling a touch of a breeze on his face and, as always looking at rocks for the elusive mother lode. This is where he has gone home.

Survived and missed by his twin brother Douglas of Hope, daughter Joanne, son-in-law Robert, four grandchildren and nieces and nephews in Ontario, BC and the US. No service planned. Rocks were his passion. In his memory, place a favourite rock in a place of comfort.
