FAMILY DONATES WAR MEMORABILIA

ARENA HAS NEW CONCESSION OPEN

Kerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Highway � ru Hell has been picked up for a second season with 13 episodes.

Filming is set to begin some-time in the next few weeks and will continue to follow Jamie Da-vis and his heavy rescue crew on the local highways over the winter.

“We’re pretty excited there’s go-ing to be a second season,” said Davis. “The TV show has acceler-ated our program and taken us to a new level.”

Highway Thru Hell has become a massive hit on the Discovery Channel, garnering the high-est premier audience in network history. The series, which is pro-duced by Vancouver’s Great Pa-cific TV, maintained an average of more than 600,000 viewers every week.

“It’s exciting,” said Davis. “It puts Hope into a whole new league in terms of tourism and publicity for the town.”

The show has also brought the heavy rescue team fame. Davis said he gets about 40 emails a day

from fans and responds to numer-ous comments on Twitter and Facebook. In addition, the shop has become a tourist attraction in Hope with visitors frequently stopping by to take pictures. Da-vis admits its been challenging to balance business and personal life.

“It’s been a bit of a hard road for me as the owner to try to ac-celerate everything fast,” said Da-vis. “It’s been hard on the family with the hours we put in. There’s a huge sacrifice and a commitment to this show. There’s been a lot of growing pains we’ve had to deal

with in a short time.” The Highway Thru Hell film

crew will be staying in Hope for the winter to shoot footage for the upcoming season and setting up a blue screen room at Davis’ shop. There’s also been some discus-sion about possibly expanding the merchandise line and hiring local people to run some kind of outlet.

Discovery Channel is airing a Highway Thru Hell marathon on Dec. 25 starting at 2 p.m. featuring the full eight-part series, After the Crash special, and a new bonus episode.

Food bank needs supportKerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Hope Food Bank is one of 20 locations in B.C. that has been chosen to participate in Kraft Food for Families this year.

Donations made by the pro-gram not only help rural food banks stock their shelves, but also assist in covering opera-tional expenses.

“It’s an easy way for people to feel like they’re doing some-thing without actually having to go into their own bank ac-

counts,” said Kim Paolini, with Hope Community Services.

Each time a person enters their name and email on kraft-foodforfamilies.ca, $0.50 will be donated to the food bank of their choice. The location with the most names in their region by Dec. 31 will receive an addi-tional $5,000 donation.

Paolini said the money raised for Hope Food Bank will be used to help purchase new en-ergy-efficient freezers next year and possibly a new fridge.

Hope Community Services is currently gearing up for its Hol-ly Days campaign and looking for monetary donations to help pay for Christmas hampers.

Last year, 370 hampers were handed out to homes in Hope and 40 in Boston Bar. The pro-gram costs about $20,000 annu-ally to run.

Word from theBEAT

Getting involved in the community is an important part of the work RCMP officers do. Members are committed to building positive relationships with the people of Hope. They give countless hours of their own time giving back and supporting local events. The detachment has been involved in a num-ber of initiatives including a bicycle safety post-er contest, Stuff the Cruiser event for the local food bank, Battle of the Blades hockey game in support of Cops for Cancer, and community forums on a variety of issues including elder abuse and domestic violence. This month, seven members of the Hope RCMP are growing a Movem-ber mustache. The event raises awareness and cash for men’s health issues, specifically prostate cancer and mental health. Anyone interested in supporting the team can visit http://ca.movember.com and search for Hope RCMP under the donate tab. All contributions are tax deductible.

The best way of ensuring you reach your weight-loss goals is to keep a food journal. It’s really difficult to make changes in your diet if you aren’t keeping track of what you are eating. Two other hints about losing weight are: don’t skip meals and try not to eat out for lunch more than once per week.

Health Canada’s website (healthcanada.gc.ca) has a section on Advisories and Warnings. This contains previously issued advisory, warning and recall notices about medications and herbals as well as interesting topics like microwave safety, handling

fresh produce and using reusable grocery bags. Quite interesting!

Pharmacists often hear the complaint, “My cold just won’t go away. I’ve had it for a month”! Cold generally last for 7-14 days. So if it lasts longer, you may be a secondary infection happening. It could be sinusitis, an ear infection or even a lung condition. See your doctor to be sure.

World Diabetes Day is on November 14. The slogan for this year’s campaign is Diabetes: Protect Our Future. The main message of this campaign is to highlight the fact

that the way we live is putting our health at risk. Also, access to essential education about diabetes is available for everyone. It’s as near as our pharmacy.

Make our pharmacy your healthcare centre. We have educational materials on many diseases including diabetes. Diabetes is an ever-growing disease in Canada and there are ways to reduce your risk. We can help.

New concession operator at Hope Arena

News


An 18-year-old Hope teen is facing assault charges after a confrontation with his friend in front of Buy & Save Foods

last Thursday. Police were called to the

scene just before 12:30 p.m. and found the 19-year-old vic-tim in the parking lot bleeding from a laceration on his head.

“They were at a party the night before where the sus-pect felt the other individual did something,” said Staff Sgt. Suki Manj. “Thursday was the first day he confronted him

after the party and he picked up his bike and swung it at (his friend). Anytime alcohol is involved these things can happen.”

The 18-year-old teen called

police to confess to the assault and was immediately arrest-ed. He was later released on a promise to appear in court with conditions.

Police are still investigat-

ing the incident and could be recommending a charge of as-sault with a weapon.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 604-869-7750.

Trick-or-treaters in downtown Hope were faced with an unusual surprise on Halloween.

A mother bear and her two cubs were seen running in a back-yard in the 400 block of Rupert St. at about 8 p.m. on Oct. 31. When police arrived, all three bears were up a nearby tree.

Hope RCMP general duty members stayed at the base of the tree while young trick-or-treaters were going door-to-door in the area.

“As a police officer, you have no idea what your shift is going to demand of you that day,” said Const. Tracy Wolbeck. “A moth-er bear with her cubs is obviously a really volatile situation so our members stayed to ensure that mom did not become a threat to all the people out that night.”

Once members deemed it safe, they retreated from the tree base to allow the bears to come down and run away. No one in the area was harmed.


Penguin Concessions has tak-en over the vending contract at Hope Arena.

After a six-month closure, concession services were rees-tablished over the weekend at the

minor hockey atom C tourna-ment.

“Historically, the concession at the Hope recreation centre has struggled to get by, not un-like any other small business in our community,” said recreation commission chair Lloyd Forman.

“Penguin Concessions has the experience of operating conces-sions, knows the business, the challenges that accompany it and the nature of a small community. It is our hope … that, in turn, they will become a fixture within our community facility.”

Penguin Concessions offers an extensive menu with a number of healthy choices. Many items are made fresh, including hamburg-er patties, chili and baked goods.

“Our first commitment is to provide the users of the recre-ation centre with great food at af-

fordable prices,” said concession owner Debra Jonat.

“We realize that hockey, and sports in general, can be very expensive and our aim is to help make it so that a trip to the arena or rec centre doesn’t break the bank.”

Trees are a significant cause of power interruptions. Contact between trees and power lines can also create a severe danger. Over the next few months we will be pruning and removing trees in the Hope area.

Trees are pruned using the best arboriculture (tree care) practices. Skilled workers employed by BC Hydro are trained in both electrical safety and tree care. Only correct and proper techniques are used to eliminate any safety hazards.

Sharing the Past at Christ Church

Over the summer Christ Church Na-tional Historic Site launched an initia-tive to gather the history and stories of people living in Hope.

The goal of the project, funded in part through the New Horizons for Seniors Program, is to bring seniors together to share and listen to each other’s stories.

“The opportunity to share stories from their past is our primary goal, but the secondary goal is to provide the participants with a chance to mingle, to visit, to stray from sto-ries of the past to those in the present and learn from one another,” said project coordinator Marilyn Manuel.

New Horizons for Seniors is a federal grant program offered through Human Re-sources and Skills De-velopment Canada that supports projects led or inspired by seniors that want to make a difference in the lives of others and in their communities.

“We are collecting the stories of peo-ple because once they are gone, the sto-ries are lost,” said Manuel.

“Particularly poignant and memora-ble for me is the loss of lifetime resident Herb Wells. Herb perished in a fishing accident off Saddle Rock this summer. The week before, he participated in and shared his stories with us. It is strange, and remarkably poignant to hear his

voice playing back to you and knowing that he is gone. But, his stories will live on.”

The final collection of stories – to date there are 54 – will be transcribed next summer and sent to the Hope Museum, with a copy to be retained at Christ Church National Historic Site.

“The short term goal is to collect these stories before they are lost to time; the long term goal is to work with Inge Wilson at the Hope Museum to coor-

dinate a community project that will work towards publishing a sequel to the com-munity history book ‘Forging a New Hope 1858-1958,’” said Darla Dickinson, supervisor of Christ Church Na-tional Historic Site.

The Sharing the Past project needs volun-teers to come forward to share their stories, to

connect with one another and to listen about all that Hope had and has to offer.

Sharing the Past takes place every Thursday at 1 p.m. at Christ Church National Historic Site, 681 Fraser St. Transportation through Care Transit to and from the meeting can be arranged if needed.

For more information, contact Manuel at 604-869-9703, [email protected], or visit Christ Church on Facebook.

Doreen Jones is hoping to preserve her family’s his-tory with the donation of war memorabilia to the Hope Legion.

Herbert, Harold, Wilfred and Jim Wells enlisted in the army at the same during the Second World War.

Harold was a lance corporal with the military police and Wilfred was a private in the 14th Field Ambulance Service. Herbert served as a sergeant running the mo-tor pool at the Canadian Forces base in Shiloh, Mani-toba and Jim was killed in action on Feb. 26, 1945, while serving with the 6th Amoured Regiment of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps. He is buried in the Groes-beek Canadian War Cemetery in Nijmegen, Nether-lands.

Jones and her siblings Sheila Hildebrand, Irene Wells and Ian Wells have donated the Statements of Service for the Wells’ brothers, their service medals, decorator plates, a newspaper article regarding memorials for ser-vicemen who did not return home, a copy of page 575

from the Book of Remembrance of the Second World War which is displayed in the Parliament of Canada chapel in Ottawa, and a copy of a letter on behalf of the Speaker of the House of Commons.

“We just didn’t want this stuff going in the garbage and felt the Legion in Hope would be the best place,” said Jones. “The young people today think they have it tough, but they don’t know and they don’t seem to be interested in what their forefathers went through and how many people died to be able to give us what we have today.”

The Hope Remembrance Day service takes place this Sunday (Nov. 11) in Memorial Park. The parade leaves the Legion at 10:40 a.m. on route to the cenotaph. Wal-ter Pankew will MC the service, which includes two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. followed by lament. The Hope Secondary School band will then perform during the wreath laying. Residents are invited back to the Le-gion for lunch and refreshments following the service.

The real smart meter manipulation

Two very different scenes un-folded at opposite ends of the province last week.

In the remote northwest corner of B.C., the first power line towers started going up to connect High-way 37 communities to the BC Hydro grid. The Nisga’a, Tahltan and other aboriginal communities will soon have reliable power, as well as much-needed training and jobs during clearing and construc-tion.

Meanwhile down on the Gulf Is-lands, the most hysterical, dishon-est campaign against smart meters I’ve heard of so far went into high gear.

I’ve obtained a mass email from

the head anti-smart meter organiz-er on Salt Spring Island that shows the mentality at work here. (Corix is the BC Hydro contractor that has installed more than a million meters and has approached the Gulf Islands with trepidation, the last area of B.C. to be done.)

“Corix is attacking with 30 trucks on Mon the 22nd,” Chris Anderson wrote in October. “Poelpe [sic] are advised NOT to attend the Victoria pipeline rally but instead help defend agianst [sic] spymeter installations in their neighbourhoods.”

Anderson’s self-appointed sup-porters fanned out across the is-land, attempting to turn away in-stallers on the false assumption that everyone has fallen for their crackpot fear campaign. They managed to stop 12 per cent of the installations.

Coincidentally, Anderson has

been doing a brisk business sell-ing $35 meter locks to gullible Salt Spring Islanders in recent months. They don’t work, and you’re not al-lowed to lock BC Hydro property anyway. Others have been sold official-looking “no smart meter” signs that don’t identify the cus-tomer, so they don’t work either.

As for the term “spymeter,” I’ve reported on the weird theories spread by Bill Vander Zalm in a video interview, where he claims smart meters are part of a global surveillance system that can even tell what you’re cooking. Vander Zalm has been outdone by one Bri-an Thiesen, who styles himself as the “chairman” of “Interior Smart Meter Awareness.”

In September, the Merritt Herald reported on Thiesen’s presentation to 20 unwary people in a church basement. He claimed wireless meters not only provide video sur-

veillance of your house, they are also responsible for “dying bees” and “defective sperm and eggs” as well as disease and fires.

Thiesen even claimed radiofre-quency signals can “pull your PIN number directly out of your head.” Is there no limit to the nonsense some people will fall for?

Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis co-authored a study that shows resi-dential fires have decreased with the advent of smart meters. Which brings me to the ugliest opposition to this modernization, the crimi-nal element.

Here in North America’s mari-juana mecca, installers have en-countered many meter bypasses, wired up to steal hydro and conceal high consumption for grow ops. In addition to being illegal, they are a fire hazard that is removed when discovered.

Installers also find more so-

phisticated cases of hydro theft. Removing the mechanical meter reveals a hole cut in the back of the case, so the dials can be turned back to hide a grow op’s power consumption. No wonder some people want to lock them down.

Of course all of this is defeated by a smart grid system, so the growers and other crooks are an-gry.

A BC Hydro official told me about one case where a user was told he had a bypass, and that it was being removed. His bill went from next to nothing to a reason-able level.

The customer complained to the media, falsely inflating the amount of his bill and blaming an inaccu-rate smart meter.

OpinionPublished at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press

Honouring our veteransOn Sunday many of us will gather around cenotaphs and in city

squares for solemn ceremonies paying tribute to Canada’s service men and women. We’ll hear words like sacrifice and honour, some of them uttered by politicians.

But for some veterans they’ll ring hollow.In 2006, Parliament unanimously passed the New Veterans Charter

that changed the way injured soldiers are compensated. Instead of a lifetime pension, indexed to inflation, veterans injured after that year, or who had their injury diagnosed since then, would get a lump sump settlement.

Veterans Affairs champions the new system as “a more complete ap-proach to helping our men and women injured in the line of duty,” of-fering them “real hope.”

But some injured veterans say otherwise. They say Canadian soldiers injured in Afghanistan, and those suffering the lingering mental and emotional effects of their tour are getting substantially less support than they would have received with the former indexed pension. Many are having difficulty reintegrating into civilian life.

A study by Queen’s University last year concluded most disabled sol-diers will receive only two-thirds the compensation under the New Vet-erans Charter than they would have received from the old Pension Act.

Recently Canada’s Auditor-General criticized the Canadian Forces and Veterans Affairs for their shoddy treatment of injured veterans, say-ing the system to get them help is “complex, lengthy and challenging to navigate.”

Even in death, the indignities continue. A program that is supposed to contribute just over $3,600 to the funeral costs for destitute ex-soldiers has rejected more than two-thirds of funding requests since 2006. Even when approved, that money is still less than some social services depart-ments will pay towards the burial of the homeless.

It’s one thing for Canada’s politicians to honour our veterans. It’s another to treat them with honour.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

If Hope were hit with a natural

disaster, would you be prepared?

Here’s how you responded:

Yes 58% No 42%

laST WEEK WE aSKEd:

It’s no secret that in order to be suc-cessful, a business must offer products and/or services that are in demand, at a price people are willing to pay, and at a time that is convenient for them to pur-chase. Friendly service, a welcoming en-vironment, reliability and consistency are also vital. Some great examples of this exist here in Hope.

Given today’s competitive business landscape, it’s more important than ever that businesses view customers as something they earn rather than something they are entitled to. With so

many options available, both “bricks & mortar” and online, it is imperative that businesses make a concerted effort to provide value, exceed expectations, and create loyalty.

The world is evolving rapidly, and businesses must evolve with it in or-der to succeed. Looking for new and different ways to do business, deliver products/services, expand offerings, and attract/retain customers is crucial. Finding ways to expand beyond local markets and take advantage of global opportunities is another important

piece of the equation.When a business doesn’t survive, it’s

generally due to a mismatch of some kind. To avoid this fate, business owners must know their customers and poten-tial customers well, invite feedback, ob-jectively assess the value they offer, and continually enhance that value.

If you’d like your business to be more successful, start by asking yourself and your customers the following questions and take action based on the answers:

1. What am I doing well?2. What could I do better?

3. What additional products and/or services would be of value?

4. Am I missing opportunities to grow/evolve my business?

Keep doing what you’re doing well, and make adjustments in the areas that could use improvement.

By treating customer relationships as a privilege rather than a right, finding ways to add value, and adapting to the inevitable changes that occur, business-es put themselves in a strong position to succeed.

the Legion for the annual Beta Sigma Phi Christmas Craft Sale.

There are tables and tables full of handmade stocking stuffers — and maybe even the stockings, themselves.

There’s coffee and there are snacks, door prizes and the chance to meet your neighbours who are also on the lookout for interesting crafts that they maybe can’t make themselves.

The Beta Sigma Phi Sorority has organized this craft sale since the ’80s, and, as usual, all of the money you drop in the jar as you come in (there is no charge for admission), plus all the funds raised by selling the tables, will go to make someone’s Hol-ly Days Christmas that much more festive.

“Tis the season” to be saving, and nowhere in the Lower Mainland can you find handmade crafts at the prices these presenters manage.

Come to the Hope Legion hall on Saturday, Nov. 17. Brighten your holiday — and someone else’s!

Christmas craft sale is back As a concerned lo-

cal constituent I was a part of a demonstration of more than 40 people from Chilliwack and Hope at Mark Strahl’s office on Oct. 31. I was disappointed that he was were unable to speak with us, or provide a statement to be read at the demonstration.

It was a fun event, but a great deal of work went into it and we raised some serious issues regarding policy decisions of your government.

Many local residents are deeply concerned about the federal govern-ment’s use of omnibus legislation, trade agree-ments, and tax breaks to further corporate expan-

sion and export of tar sands mining projects and the implications this has for local communi-ties along Kinder Mor-gan’s Trans Mountain pipeline.

The government has supported omnibus bills to dismantle envi-ronmental legislation, such as the Fisheries Act and the Navigable Waters Act. This means that Kinder Morgan’s pipeline application will no longer be subject to a thorough environmen-tal assessment. In Chilli-wack, that means a total disregard for the risks as-sociated with transport-ing tar sands bitumen through pipelines that cross our local drinking

water aquifer and the Fraser and Vedder Riv-ers—waterways that are central to the identity of our community.

Given the risks, and the lack of economic benefit for British Co-lumbians, residents are questioning the govern-ment’s ability to repre-sent us. Similarly, its sup-port for agreements like the China-Canada For-eign Investor Protection and Promotion Agree-ment (FIPA) without a debate about the impli-cations for local commu-nities is truly alarming. It suggests politicians care more about the interests of foreign corporations than they do their own neighbours. For every

person who was stand-ing with a sign at Mark Strahl’s office on Hallow-een, there were at least 10 honks and waves of sup-port from people driv-ing by. We truly hope that as someone with roots in this community, Mark Strahl will join us in taking a stand for Chilliwack to ensure that this region is a thriving, sustainable and healthy place for generations to come.

Bus drivers say they’ve been notified of the opening day New Port Mann Bridge to open Dec. 3: Union

Jeff NagelBlack Press

The new Port Mann Bridge may officially open with eight lanes on Dec. 3, although trans-portation ministry of-ficials won’t confirm the date circulated by the bus drivers’ union.

Canadian Auto Work-ers local 111 president Don MacLeod said the union was notified driv-ers will be required to

run the new Highway 1 Rapid Bus service, which is promised to be in place on opening day of the new bridge.

“My understanding is the first Monday in De-cember,” he said.

A ministry spokesman said the bridge official opening date will be an-nounced in the coming weeks, giving drivers enough notice of the traf-fic pattern change and the date tolling will start.

There have been no difficulties with construc-tion and work remains on schedule for an eight-lane opening sometime in De-cember as planned, the spokesman said.

The remaining two of 10 lanes would open about a year later because of subsequent work to dismantle the old bridge and its approaches.

The bridge will be free for the first week it’s open before half-price tolls of $1.50 per standard vehicle kick in.

The discount from reg-ular $3 tolls ends March 1 for drivers who don’t register with the Treo electronic tolling system by then.

Those who do register lock in the discount for one year and those who sign up before December also get a credit for 20 free

crossings.The new bridge is to

restore transit service to the corridor, which hasn’t seen a Coast Mountain bus in decades due to congestion.

TransLink kept the planned Port Mann bus service in the latest ver-sion of its 2013 plan in September, even though mayors have vowed to re-scind a $30-million prop-erty tax hike and press the province to replace it with

a different source.“It is TransLink’s inten-

tion to have this service in place for when the bridge opens, but we do not have an opening date yet,” spokesperson Deb-bie Parhar said.

“We are getting pre-pared but there have been no assignments or driver sign up yet.”

The planned Rapid Bus service will be scaled back from what was originally envisioned due to declin-ing TransLink revenue.

The buses were to run over the new bridge every 10 minutes all day – now they’ll only run every 10 minutes in the morning and afternoon peaks and be cut to every 30 minutes at off-peak times.

And it will only go from Langley to Braid Station, not to Lougheed Station as previously planned.

Changes aimed at unclogging courtsTom FletcherBlack Press

Attorney General Shirley Bond has launched a new court management system designed to improve efficiency and cut down the backlog of criminal cases.

The changes are based on a review of the system conducted by lawyer Geoffrey Cowper, which analyzed a “culture of de-lay” that resists change. Cowper concluded the problem is partly because there is an incentive, particularly for defence lawyers, to delay cases, and no system for enforcing timely hearings of evidence.

“During the review there was a general sense that judges and lawyers have their own, insu-lated sense of what constitutes timeliness and responsiveness,” Cowper wrote in his report, re-leased in September.

Bond announced the first phase of changes, including the establishment of a new over-sight organization.

“The Justice and Public Safety Council will be asked to publish performance measures, and we’re going to look at design-ing and determining what those measures are, and there will be targets attached to them,” she said.

Samiran Lakshman, presi-dent of the B.C. Crown Counsel Association, said he welcomes the changes to a system that has prosecutors in some communi-ties overwhelmed.

“Not every courthouse has a delay problem,” Lakshman said. “We have acute delay issues in the busiest courthouse in the province, which is Surrey, as well as places like Fort St. John, Nanaimo and Richmond.”

In Surrey, he said it currently

takes 14 months or more to schedule a half a day for a brief trial. Defendants who have waited 18 months or more can apply for and often receive a stay of proceedings because their case has taken too long.

Both Lakshman and NDP justice critic Leonard Krog have repeatedly pointed to a re-duction of 16 provincial court judges since 2005. Lakshman said the recent imposition of a government-wide hiring freeze

has slowed the replacement of prosecutors, sheriffs and court clerks, because each new hire requires approval from the head of the public service.

Bond has questioned why waiting time in courts goes up even when the crime rate and the number of new cases de-clines. She says it should not take an average of seven appear-ances in court before a criminal case goes to trial.

In his report, Cowper noted that 98 per cent of criminal cas-es end with a guilty plea or a stay of proceedings, but the system treats all cases as if they are go-ing to trial. He said the number of new cases dropped sharply last year as most impaired driv-ing charges were replaced with roadside suspensions, and now is at the same level as the early 1990s.

“The current rules were the result of a wholesale change made over a decade ago to in-volve judges more actively in the pre-trial phase of proceed-ings to encourage early resolu-tion and reduce the high pro-portion of cases that collapse on the first day of trial,” Cowper wrote. “Neither prosecutors nor defence counsel changed their practices in order to realize the potential of the new rules.”

News

Samiran Lakshman, president of the B.C. Crown Counsel Association, says new measures are good for the long term, but more provincial court judges are needed to reduce a backlog of cases.

Lieutenant Governor a ‘steward of the land’

Tom FletcherBlack Press

Merritt-area rancher Judith Guichon was sworn in Friday as B.C.’s 29th Lieutenant Gover-nor.

Guichon and her hus-band Bruno Mailloux were welcomed to the B.C. legislature with a blessing by Lottie Lindley, elder of the Upper Nicola Band of the Okanagan Nation.

Guichon, 65, succeeds Steven Point, who com-pleted his term Thursday. She is the second female Lieutenant Governor in B.C. history, following former MP Iona Cam-pagnolo, who preceded Point.

In her inaugural speech, Guichon said she will carry on the work of her predecessors, includ-ing support for literacy and reconciliation with

aboriginal people in B.C. As owner of the historic Gerard Guichon Ranch on the shore of Nicola Lake and a former presi-dent of the B.C. Cattle-men’s Association, she vowed to continue her work as a “steward of the land.

“Many of the first ranchers, including the

Guichon family, came to British Columbia 150 years ago, chasing their dreams of gold,” Guichon said. “As I tell the students who visit the ranch, they came for the gold, but they stayed for the grass.”

Guichon and her late husband Lawrence Guichon are credited with introducing holistic

management to the B.C. cattle industry, emphasiz-ing preservation of natu-ral grassland. She intends to make that approach a theme for her term.

“As generations be-come further removed from an agrarian lifestyle, and as we lose commu-nity, I fear that civil so-ciety becomes less civil,” Guichon said. “It is at our peril that the great cities of the world forget that civilization relies on the health of the soil upon which it rests.”

Guichon was also in-ducted into the Order of B.C., with the title of chancellor that is given to every Lieutenant Gov-ernor. Lieutenants Gov-ernor are appointed by the Governor General on the recommendation of prime ministers. They serve five-year terms as the Queen’s representa-tive in each province.

News

Seasonal influenza clinics are proceeding in B.C. after use of one of the vaccines was briefly suspended for further testing.

Health Canada an-nounced last week that Novartis-made vaccines have been approved for use in Canada and Europe after an investigation of

one batch in Europe. B.C. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the suspension was pre-cautionary and related to effectiveness, and there is

no safety concern.There are dedicated

flu vaccination clinics at public health units, fam-ily doctors and pharma-cists. To find the nearest clinic, use the flu clinic locator at www.immuni-zebc.ca or call Healthlink BC at 8-1-1.

The annual influenza vaccination gives prior-ity to higher-risk patients such as seniors and those with chronic diseases, who receive the vaccine at no charge. Seasonal influenza is a severe re-spiratory illness that is re-sponsible for hundreds of deaths in B.C. each year.

Because influenza is spread through sneez-ing, coughing and con-tact with contaminated surfaces, B.C. regulations have been changed to require all employees in health facilities or other contact points with high-risk groups to either get the influenza shot or wear a mask.

Influenza clinics continue after tests

Documentary explores drug addiction


Eva Wunderman is once again shining a light on the reality of crystal meth abuse.

Her latest documen-tary Afermeth is an in-timate portrait of one family’s ups and downs caused by drug addiction and co-dependency. It is a follow-up to Wunder-man’s Crystal Fear, Crys-tal Clear, which followed a year in the lives of three families devastated by the drug. The documen-tary earned the Hope director and producer a Gracie Allen Individual Achievement Award in New York in 2006.

“I think people who are affected by crystal meth often feel ashamed and don’t really want to share,” said Wunderman. “This is truly a reality. I hope this will help some people maybe see that no matter how bad it is, if you’re dealing with somebody in that situ-ation, even if it doesn’t look like there’s any hope, you can still get through this at the end of the day.”

Aftermeth follows Michelle Webb and her children Aaron, Kyler, and Amber, who all are in transitional periods of their lives and become main characters in the documentary.

The story begins al-most a decade ago when

Aaron is battling a meth addiction and his moth-er works as a registered nurse trying to keep the family together. Wun-derman catches up with them again five years later and finds a surpris-ing twist when the roles of mother and son are reversed and Michelle is at her lowest point of her life. As time goes by viewers see Michelle’s other son Kyler also fall victim to crystal meth and as it turns out it is a very different experience than with Aaron’s addic-tion.

“The family bond is a very strong component in this film no matter what is going on,” said Wunderman. “You just hope you give the view-ers the same journey of discovery as you go through when you’re ed-

iting it.”Wunderman worked

with local cameraman Robert Fresco on this project for three years. Aftermeth premiered at Hope Cinema on Nov. 1 and aired on the Knowl-edge Network.

Accomplished pianist joins Extravaganza Jennifer Feinberg Black Press

The soloist in a Piano Extravaganza is an ac-complished pianist who has performed all over the world.

The spotlight will be on Patrick Kreeger, and the Chilliwack Sym-phony Orchestra and Chorus, this Saturday at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre.

This will be the third piano-focused “extrava-ganza” they’ve offered Chilliwack audiences since 2004, says CSO conductor and music director, Paula De Wit.

Last year crowds were treated to pianist Ian Parker and sev-eral students studying with members of local B.C. Registered Music Teachers Association.

This year one of the outstanding highlights of the night promises to be Danse macabre, Op. 40 from Camille St-Saens, showcasing two pianos, four players, and eight hands.

“It’s going to be a show-stopper,” De Wit says.

Eight nimble hands will come from four players, including Kreeger, as well as local pianists, Graham Yates, Glen Cuthburtson and Maria Whelton.

Kreeger has earned high praise for his mu-sical prowess and came highly recommended to the CSO.

“I am thrilled and I am looking forward to working with him as well as the other three amazing pianists,” said De Wit.

“Not only will he play Beethoven: Piano Con-

certo No. 5 but he will also be performing Mo-zart Concerto 20 in D, K466 – 3rd Movement – Rondo, a piano duet with our own resident accompanist, Graham Yates.”

Kreeger first stepped onto the Carnegie Hall stage for his debut at just 17, and these days enjoys a busy career as both a pianist and or-ganist, as soloist and

chamber musician.Born in Jacksonville,

Florida, Kreeger be-gan his music studies at age three with Bar-bara Broach and later with Dr. Gerson Yessin, chair of the University of North Florida Music Department. Patrick began took up the or-gan at the age of 12 with Jim Wood (a protégé of E. Power Biggs.) Upon moving to Greenville,

North Carolina in 2004, Patrick continued his piano and organ studies with Dr. Henry Doskey and Colin Andrews. At 18, he earned a full scholarship to attend the renowned Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia.

Kreeger gave his sym-phonic debut in April 2008, performing Rach-maninoff ’s first piano concerto under the ba-

ton of Maestro William Henry Curry and the N.C. Symphony. He has been guest soloist with the Musica Sacra Cham-ber Orchestra (CO), the Barton College/Wilson Symphony Orchestra, as well as with members The National Sympho-ny Orchestra, based in Washington D.C.

It was actually a CSO supporter and one of their biggest fans, Ta-mara Jansen, who rec-ommended Kreeger for the extravaganza, after he made a big impres-sion on her son, a cello player with the CSO.

“She beamed with joy and spoke so eloquently about his musicianship,” said De Wit.

In addition, the state-ly piano that will be on stage is quite a special one.

“This Steinway is Chilliwack’s gem. It’s a 10-footer,” De Wit said. “It’s huge!”

It was bought and lovingly restored by Chilliwack’s Glen Cuth-burtson, who will also be playing that night as well.

The chorus will be singing Faure’s moving Cantique de Jean Racine as well Faure’s Pavane Op. 50 (Choral version). Also on the program: Beethoven’s Piano Con-certo #5, Mozart Con-certo 20 in D, K466 – 3rd Movement.

A Piano Extravagan-za with Patrick Kreeger takes Nov. 10 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. Tickets are $25, or $15 students.

Drop-in badminton underway in Hope

Quentin Jones leaps to unleash his shot, while Brad Kurucz readies for the return. Drop-in badminton at C.E. Barry costs $2 and runs from 6:30 to 8:30 on Monday and Wednesday evenings. Players need to have their own racquet and non-marking shoes.

BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD

Sports

Barry StewartHope Standard

You’ve only got 82 square me-tres to share with your partner — but a robust game of bad-minton may have you running as many as 700 steps, in pursuit of the elusive shuttlecock.

Those were my findings af-ter taking readings from my pedometer at Monday night drop-in badminton at C.E. Bar-ry school, two weeks in a row. After eight games of varying length, the step total was about 5,400… which equates to over four kilometres if you take all the movements and string them into a straight line.

Elapsed time: about 50 min-utes. You could walk that far in 50 minutes — but you wouldn’t be breaking a sweat like you can at badminton.

It’s a game of speed, place-ment and trickery — and you’ve got maybe a second to think of what to do next before the shot is sent back to your side.

It’s a fun game and a great workout and drop-in badmin-ton has been happening in Hope since at least the mid-1970s. Some may remember the 20th Century days when the fee was a whopping 25 cents, to cover the purchase of a new tube of birdies every few weeks.

Now organized under the umbrella of Hope & District Recreational and Cultural Ser-vices, it’s a toonie per night, which is still quite affordable. Inge Wilson acts as a volunteer coordinator for the rec centre, collecting monies and passing them on. She’s been whack-ing birds in Hope for nearly 20 years now.

“Sabine Keil got me started,” said Wilson, “though I had played in Richmond when I was in elementary school.”

The C.E. Barry gym has three courts which have been fully utilized for doubles play in the last few weeks.

“We start one week after school begins in September,” said Wilson, “but the weather was so nice this fall, so our numbers were low. We don’t normally get all the regulars back until the weather changes and the time changes back.”

In addition to the regulars,

the group has picked up two new players who have recently moved to town.

Nastaran Hosseini is an oc-cupational therapist at Fraser Canyon Hospital.

“I played for fun in Iran,” she said on Monday. “I’ve been in Canada for five years and I played in North Vancouver when I lived there.”

Lindsay Kufta came to Hope in mid July to work as a phar-macist at Pharmasave.

She grew up in West Vancou-ver, where she attended Rock-ridge Secondary and played on the badminton team, as well as the wrestling, track and field and mountain bike teams.

“I think I maybe won one badminton game at high school,” recalled Kufta. She’s already had at least two wins in Hope, so things are looking up.

Joining a local sport can be a great way to meet people and get involved in a new community. If you have badminton in your background, consider dropping by. You’ll need to be age 15 or older — and have your own rac-quet, non-marking shoes and a toonie.

Sessions run from 6:30 to 8:30 on Monday and Wednes-day evenings at C.E. Barry school on 4th Avenue.

Note the school closures on Nov. 12 and 26 and school func-tion on Nov. 28 will shut down badminton on those days.

* * *

By the way, those badminton steps were applied toward the “Walk to Mexico” virtual-walk challenge that is currently run-ning at the rec centre. A group of about 20 has a combined to-tal of 1,259,213 steps after three weeks. That brings the group to Grant’s Pass in southern Or-egon already — with another week’s walking already done but not tabulated.

That puts us in northern California, with many more ki-lometres to go before reaching Tapachula in the deep south of Mexico. Then we have to come back.

It’s not too late to join this free program. Sign up at the re-ception desk and ask for your free pedometer.
