Community Futures General Manager Debra Arnott, met up with Th e Hope Standard and Hope Community Futures Chairperson Victor Smith to discuss an exciting opportunity that encompasses a grassroots movement to encourage business owners in rural communities, and especially in Hope, where there is a niche market burgeoning that encourages an entrepreneurial spirit.

Th e organization, seeks to grow communities, by off ering advice to curious individuals looking to start a new business, buy an existing one, or to expand on an idea.

“We realize that not all business ideas are the same and that is why we specialize in taking a hands-on approach to supporting our clients,” said Arnott, of their motto. “Hope is the perfect place for people wanting to start small businesses.”

People oft en shy away from start-ups, due to a lack of support or knowledge, according to Arnott and that is what her organization seeks to do — bridge the gap and help illuminate the way for people new to entrepreneurship and those who are looking to sell their business and retire.

“Th e plan is to initiate and develop areas through promotion, facilitation of

cooperative activities dedicated to the social, environmental and economical well-being of our clients and communities,” said Arnott.

Encouraged by the excitement of people in Hope, the group operates by meting out professional advice, and provides more than capital alone, through their loans program.

“Community Futures has a high success rate with assisted fi rms growing on average 9.5 per cent annually compared to 4.2 per cent for non-assisted fi rms,” said Arnott. “Businesses who are linked with us are 76 per cent more likely to survive the initial fi ve years, following a start up, as opposed to 60 per cent of independent fi rms.”

“If you have an idea, we can help you make it a reality,” she said. “It’s about access and we provide that from the beginning. We give people the ability to have support through the entire process of starting a business and that makes all the diff erence,” she said.

Chairperson Smith was on board for the entire meeting and shared his perspective with Th e Hope Standard.

“We need to encourage our young people as much as possible — they are going to be the ones who will be running this place, long aft er everyone else. It’s the up and comers that are going to make big changes here and it’s impor-tant to mentor them properly.”

The Fraser Valley Brain Injury Association (FVBIA) is receiving $101,119 in funding to enhance three pro-grams to support people with acquired brain injuries. The FVBIA provides ser-vices throughout the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford, Langley, Chilliwack, Mission and Hope.

“Funding for community-based asso-ciations has been critically short for years and sometimes the local brain injury groups are the only supports peo-ple with acquired brain injuries have,” FVBIA executive director Carol Paetkau said. “Thank you to the Government of British Columbia for recognizing the value of community-based services for this population.”

The FVBIA will be able to expand its Pay It Forward program into Langley and Mission which focuses on a variety of health and wellness programs for those with an acquired brain injury. As well, the FVBIA will expand its prevention and awareness programs to reach a wider audience and is now able to buy new helmets for the bike safety program in Chilliwack. Additionally, the organization will be able to develop a one-on-one life skills program to support people improve their independence.

“Students in our community bene-fit greatly from the partnership FVBIA has with the Chilliwack Safety Village,” Chilliwack MLA John Martin said. “With this funding, new helmets will be pur-chased so that more students can par-ticipate fully in the bike safety aware-ness program, promoting active living and teaching best practices when sharing the roads.”

In May, the government provided $3 million in funding over three years to the Brain Injury Alliance which has distribut-ed funding to organizations in two stages. In the first stage, $10,000 was provided to each of B.C.’s 16 community-based, non-profit brain-injury service providers to help with operational costs.

In the second stage, brain-injury orga-nizations in B.C. receive funding based on applications for programs specific to their needs.

These organizations run programs and services to help reduce the incidence of injury or directly help those affected by brain injuries.

“I’m happy to learn FVBIA is receiv-ing significant funding to help expand and promote their various programs,” Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness said. “They provide valuable programs such as caregiver support and case managers for the smaller communities like Hope in the Fraser Valley.”

NewsExtreme weather shelter available in HopeThe B.C. government is funding five extreme weather

shelter spaces in Hope this winter to help people whose health and safety may be threatened by cold, wet weather.

The temporary spaces will be available from now until March 31, 2016 as Hope issues extreme weather alerts.

The temporary shelter will be located at the Thunderbird Motel, with access provided by and in partnership with the Hope & Area Transition Society.

“The combination of cold and wet weather puts vulner-able people at risk,” Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness said. “We continue to work with organizations in our com-munity provide emergency spaces for people in need.”

Each community decides what weather conditions war-

rant an alert and how many spaces to activate on a given night, depending on the capacity of existing shelters and the estimated need.

Throughout British Columbia, close to 1,200 temporary emergency shelter spaces will be available this winter in about 100 communities.

The provincial government also funds outreach teams to help connect people with a range of services such as hous-ing, health care and community supports.

Last year, more than 7,200 people in B.C. were connected to housing, income assistance and a range of support ser-vices by provincially funded homeless outreach programs and shelter workers.

Influenza vaccine now availableTom FletcherBlack Press

This year's influenza vaccine is available at doctors' offices, public health clinics and pharmacies across the province of B.C.

Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the main flu season runs from late November through to next April, and cases of H3N2 influenza are already showing up.

That strain affects mainly older people, while influenza B is expected to show up by February and spread among children.

The vaccine is is free for children between six months and five years, seniors aged 65 and older, pregnant women, aboriginal people and those dealing with chronic health conditions, as well as care-givers and others who expect to be in close contact with higher-risk groups.

About 3,500 people die in Canada each winter from influenza and its complica-tions, with hospital and residential care patients the most vulnerable. Kendall said influenza is responsible for more deaths than all other vaccine-preventable illnesses combined.

This year's vaccine is expected to pro-vide 40 to 60 per cent protection against H3N2 and 65 per cent protection against

the various strains of influenza B."The annual flu vaccine is still the best

tool we have to protect against getting the flu," said Dr. Charles Webb, president of the Doctors of B.C. "Combined with regu-lar hand washing, you are also protecting

those around you who may be more vulner-able to serious flu complications."

To find the nearest flu shot clinic, call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1 or use the online influenza clinic finder at www.immunizebc.ca/clinics/flu.

Silver Creek Elementary lands funding Students, teachers and staff at Silver Creek Elementary

School will benefit from new lighting efficiency upgrades, thanks to $160,000 in provincial funding to provide healthy, safe and modern learning environments.

“This project of simply replacing light bulbs helps to improve both energy efficiency and safety for students and teachers, but also saves significant money for the school,” Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness said.

The project includes replacing fluorescent fixtures with high

efficiency LED lamps and adding occupancy sensors to improve energy efficiency. The estimated power savings are 184,000 kWh per year with anticipated savings of $21,000 per year.

Work is expected to begin this year and finish by spring 2016. “We continue to invest in schools to ensure they are properly

maintained and extend the life of the buildings.”These projects were approved under the province's routine

capital program. Projects were chosen based on need, priority, and supporting student learning," said Throness.

The Hope RCMP recently welcomed a new staff sergeant. Karol Rehdner,(pronounced Karl,) graciously met up with the Hope Standard to discuss his arrival in October, and how he’s settling into the community.

Rehdner, holds over 25 years of policing experience in the Lower Mainland, including a history in patrol, drug work, general duty emergency and in various supervisory roles.

“I am a detachment commander with the amalgamation of Hope, Chilliwack, Agassiz and Boston Bar,” he said.

His duties include city police officer (cpo,) dealing with the public, and overseeing the details of his current detachment members.

“My tasking is wide and varied,” accord-ing to the self-confessed Toronto Maple Leaf fan. The Toronto native and husband and father of two, is an avid outdoorsman, who enjoys hiking on the many trails in and around Hope.

Rehdner spearheaded the human resources e-division in Surrey, before deciding on taking a higher management position here in Hope; citing a challenge, and the ability to stretch an original skill-set he acquired over a lifetime career, to the local detachment.

“It’s an exciting time for me, and it’s a great learning experience — I’m learning more and more every day, it’s a huge learning curve,” he said.“It was on my bucket list to have a command position. I spent over 11 years in supervisory roles and I was ready to take on a strong leadership position,” he said.

Policing is policing, according to Rehdner, and the roles and responsibilities of officers haven’t changed.

“If you’re on the wrong side of the law, you’re on the wrong side of the law,” he said. It’s still the same concerns — you walk through communities and see the ills of society.”

Hope is a safe community, in the opinion of the first generation Canadian, who is of German origin — his parents immigrated from Europe in the 60s.

Rehdner joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in 1990.

“It was what I wanted to do,” said Rehdner. I remember being in Ottawa at Parliament Hill in Grade 8 and the visual of a mounted police officer got me hooked.”

There are 18 people in his current detachment and Rehdner enjoys working with his colleagues, especially the energy and enthusiasm they present on a daily basis.

“It’s hard work and people need guidance, but if we can learn from each other, while using our independent skills, it will truly be beneficial to everyone.” he said.

Rehdner has been hands on in the community during his time in Hope and plans to continue to get to know everyone. So far, the community service groups have made an impression on the crime fighting patriarch, as well as the positivity of everyone in Hope.

“I don’t hide — if I say it, it’s what I believe, it’s my commitment, vision and core values in the RCMP,” he told the Hope Standard.

The visual presence of the RCMP can have a calming influence on people. When people see a professional in a uniform, it tends to impart a feeling of security, knowing that officials are on the case.

“When people see a police car, they immediately have a sense of relief, and a feeling of safety,” said Rehdner of the feeling of security a community can have when they visually locate officers patrolling on duty.

“There are certain aspects to criminality, things have to be done the Canadian way, but it’s about being challenged by questions, and reaching an agreement and approaching problems as they pres-ent themselves,” he said. “It’s been an interesting ride so far, and I’m enjoying developing positive, symbi-otic relationships with the community.”

Rehdner is amiable, approachable and challenges the community to look beyond the uniform, and to be open to a cup of tea or a good conversation.

“Our job is to help others, it’s so much more than arresting someone, it goes beyond that. The service is magnified in a smaller community, where, we are more tied to the people. In Vancouver it’s fragment-ed, but in Hope, it’s the same ideal and that’s to serve and assist. It’s been fantastic so far, this is a great community, and I look forward to the years ahead.”

The University of Toronto alumnus, graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in history and politics, because it was a field that interested him. He then joined up with the RCMP and started out in Regina, before being posted to the Lower Mainland. With his wife Deb, by his side over the past 25 years, Rehdner has enjoyed a stellar career, while raising their two children Megan and Kyle, who are both currently students at UFV.

A woman from Harrison Mills who was seriously burned by a live, low-hang-ing hydro line in October near Kilby Provincial Park underwent her fourth surgery last week, according to her sister.

“She went through a five hour opera-tion last Thursday,” said Laura Nichols, a sibling of the woman who lives in Chilliwack. “That’s a long time for a body to go through an operation.”

Not much else had changed in her condition Nichols said, but she’s now able to nod her head from her Vancouver General Hospital ICU bed.

Until the woman is able to speak no one will know exactly what happened on Oct. 18 around 4 p.m. when she was badly injured by electricity and her two dogs were electrocuted by the fallen power line.

As a result of the accident she has now lost both her arms, undergone numerous skin grafts, and faces years of rehabilita-tion, said Nichols.

A German couple who came to the woman’s assistance contacted Black Press to shed more light on what happened that day.

After returning from taking photos and video in the surround-ing area, Heike and Juergen Wiegand heard the injured woman’s cries from where they were at the Kilby Campground.

According to an email from Heike, they went to the nearby dike where the incident had occurred to find the source of the noise.

“My husband and I had only one thought: ‘We need to help the woman,’” wrote Heike. “On the dike we ran to the end of the field, looking for a possibility to reach the woman. After few seconds we found a way next to the power pole to reach her.”

Heike then knelt beside the woman, laid her hands on her fore-head and body and spoke to her.

“She said, ‘I can’t breath’ over and over again,” wrote Heike. “I told her, ‘You can breath. Take a breath in and out.’”

According to Heike, the time until the ambulance arrived at the accident scene “seemed like an eternity.”

As of yet no witnesses of the actual event have come forward, if there were any at all.

And Nichols is still waiting for more definite answers from authorities.

“There was a whole week there where the live wire was hanging there,” she said. “It’s horrendous what’s hap-pened, it’s unbelievable actually.”

Last week Kent’s mayor, John Van Laerhoven, said that he has spoken with the woman’s fam-ily and relayed all the information they have at this time. He said the District’s staff was unaware there was a problem with the power line prior to this inci-dent happening.

He said the District of Kent, which stretch-es from the Agassiz-Rosedale bridge, to Harrison Mills, and north of Harrison Hot Springs, is too large to check on all areas after storms.

“I don’t think we have the staff to drive down every road, and drive every dike,” he said. He added that in the event that anyone sees a downed power line, they should report it to BC Hydro immediately.

“It’s a Hydro issue,” he said. “We don’t know anything other than that, that it went down and

Hydro is saying they weren’t called.”Nichols can’t believe that no one passing by noticed the line in

that span of time, and if they did that it wasn’t reported.Her sister lives by herself and has many animals. “She is a very

independent woman who loves her animals,” said a neighbour who is looking after some of the temporarily orphaned cats. “She would have done anything to help her dogs.”

There is speculation from neighbours that the woman had entered the bushes where the dangling power line was exposed to rescue her dogs, that might have come in contact with the electrical current when they followed the scent of a dead raccoon.

“That the injuries are very serious we knew,” said Heike Wiegand in her email.

“But when we read that she has lost both arms, we were deeply shocked. Not one day, one hour passes without thinking of the woman.”

On April 13, Canadian Forces veteran Paul Nichols set out on the ride of a life-time. His plan was to ride from Victoria, B.C. to St. John’s, Newfoundland, to raise awareness of the challenges many veterans face when transitioning from military to civilian life. His goal was to visit communities across Canada, share stories with veterans, and heighten awareness of the contributions military people have made and the special needs they face. His mount, Zoe, would symbolize the value of horses in helping veterans cope and heal from the traumatic brain injury, PTSD.

The vision had been triggered by a chance encounter with a lady in a story who had survived the four-year Siege of Sarajevo, enduring shelling and sniper fire every night. She was rescued by Canadian troops. When Paul told her that he had served in Yugoslavia with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, she had burst into tears and hugged him, still grateful for the service of the Canadian soldiers. That haunting moment lingered and he realized the profound depths of a heartfelt story. He wondered if powerful stories like these could help heal and make a difference to both a victim and a veteran, so many of whom have suffered the torment of PTSD. As had Paul.

For almost a year, Paul and his wife Terry planned the Ride Across Canada and launched Communities for Veterans Foundation. They would take their four horses and lease horses along the way, stopping in communities to visit with veter-ans and residents. Veterans could sign up to ride with them for a few hours or days depending on how many horses they had with them at any one time.

“We were quite strict with what the ride would look like,” said Terry. “(The rid-ing group would consist of) my husband Paul and a maximum of three veterans who have gone through a lesson and been approved to join the ride. We would have events so when we rode into a community we would have a gathering at a cenotaph, a beach, a park or a community place. There would be an invitation for veterans and community members to join us to talk and share thoughts.”

The journey was amazing. Everywhere, people turned out to help, offering food, meals, hay, lodging, stabling, and vehicles.

Now, almost six months later, Paul, Terry, and their support team have finally ridden into St John’s, Newfoundland having covered close to 10,000 kilometres.

Some 335 veterans have ridden with them and they have visited almost 160 communities. In some places they had to trailer their horses to make up time after a diversion to a community that asked them to visit.

The ride officially ended Monday, where it was followed by a reception at Government House and a commemorative celebration dinner at The Mess at CFB St. John’s.

“A good friend of ours was talking about the Ride as though we were lighting candles as we were riding across Canada. We could feel this brightness, this whole inspiration. We had one veteran who was really struggling and he has actually joined our crew as a mechanic. He joined to help out because he sees the power in what we are doing. For him, it’s renewed his faith in humanity because he can see how people want to support veterans.” Black Press

The B.C. government declared the first Conservation Officer Day on Nov. 4, to recognize the 110-year history of the ser-vice that started out as mostly volunteer “game wardens.”

This is overdue recognition for what is essentially a police force that only receives public notice when a bear or cougar has to be killed to protect people.

The ceremony at the B.C. legislature included awards. Chief Conservation Officer Doug Forsdick presented long-service medals and two commendations for lifesaving.

One was to CO Jason Hawkes, who rescued a family of four from their sinking boat on Kootenay Lake last June. He reached them in rough, windy conditions when they were waist-deep in water, far from shore.

The other went to CO Andrew Anaka, for rescuing an angler from an overturned boat, whom he found “extremely hypother-mic” at the base of a cliff at a lake near Powell River on Jan. 22. A second angler didn’t make it to shore.

An exemplary service medal went to CO Micah Kneller, who caught up with Fort Nelson RCMP officers and paramedics on

Sept. 6, as they treated a hunter who had been attacked by a grizzly in a remote area. As darkness fell, Kneller found a second injured hunter, got the group together, built a fire and assisted until a rescue helicopter from CFB Comox lifted the hunters out at 3 a.m.

NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert had a couple of things on his mind at the event. He relayed a report from the B.C. Government Employees’ Union that there has been a 10 per cent cut in CO staff since 2002.

Not so, replied Environment Minister Mary Polak. The num-ber has “hovered around 148” in that time, she said, including seasonal staff for peak hunting and fishing periods.

Polak said extra investment has gone into trucks that serve as mobile command centres, so people aren’t sitting in offices wait-ing for the phone to ring. They patrol more and respond faster, which can be vital.

Chandra Herbert also blasted the government for a “dona-tion” of $100,000 from the Freshwater Fishing Society of B.C. to increase angling enforcement this summer, adding more sea-sonal CO days. “What’s next, bake sales?” he said.

The real story is a bit more complicated. In March I reported that the B.C. Liberal government finally made good on a decade-old promise to turn over all revenue from freshwater fishing licence sales to the society.

Its revenue went from $7 million to $10 million once the gov-ernment finally ended the practice of skimming some off for the general treasury.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett recalled that the society was established during the first years of Gordon Campbell’s govern-ment, a period of what Bennett called “religious zeal” for priva-tization.

The society spends most of its budget restocking lakes with trout and promoting responsible angling, but its new 30-year ser-vice contract also calls on it to contribute to enforcement. This is the first year that has happened, and Polak said the extra fishing violation tickets indicate it is working.

The CO service also works on cases such as the Mount Polley mine breach. It has a commercial environmental enforcement unit, a special investigations unit to deal with smuggling and organized crime, and an intelligence analyst.

In short, they’re real cops, working with a group of about 150 compliance officers at the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

They don’t get much respect from an urban public informed by celebrity wildlife protesters such as Pamela Anderson, Miley Cyrus and Ricky Gervais.

Hope gets the shaft with boundary changesIn regard to Tom Fletcher's story, "New seats for 2017 BC

election,” again the town of Hope gets the shaft. They are now sticking us with Merritt, Logan Lake, Clinton, Cache Creek, Ashcroft, Lillooet, and west to Dog Creek. The Riding is larger than Belgium.

If the current Government retains power, then Jackie Taggart, will probably be our MLA. If not, it will be Harry Lalli, NDP(been there, done that,) or John Kidder, Green Party. Regardless, how does one MLA spread themselves between Hope to Clinton, and from Merritt to Dog Creek. The three largest communities are Merritt, Hope, and Lillooet, none of which have anything in common.

How does an MLA manage such a vast area with absolutely

no commonalities. Why would they do this? The MLA is going to need Constituency Offices in Hope,

Lillooet, Merritt, and probably Ashcroft. They'll need staff for all of them, with a budget for each area

within the Constituency. How can the MLA, with shrinking budget resources, create

anything progressive, or simply just manage the resources and infrastructure in such a massive area. Whoever wins the Riding is going to be spending many hours each week travelling, and is doomed for failure.

Pit Bulls get unfair assessment in article I am extremely disappointed that Lori

Wellbourne's atrocious article from the Province paper was reposted in the Hope Standard. Her "facts" are not true and its people like her that get innocent animals euthanized.

"This poster is a known pit bull hater and propagandist who quotes skewed/faked/false stats from the notorious pit bull-hater Colleen Lynn of dogsbite dot org (DBO) infamy.

Here is what respected dog bite related fatality (DBRF) expert and ex Foridian police lieutenant James Crosby had to say about that

DBO site:"Glad to see that others find that site

as troublesome as I do. The author is not remotely interested in accuracy - I have sent several comments correcting 'facts' from hav-ing been on scene - and they never appear. So the author, when confronted by info that differs, just covers his/her ears and yells "La La La I can't hear you".

The Aurora figures are typical. Dogsbite cites 473 bites in the three years. I have the hard copies of the bite reports since I am tesitfying to overturn the ban - and there were actually 459 incidents. No big deal, just

a few bites difference, eh? But sadder is the fact that I can look at these hard copy reports and literally see where the breed section has been whited out, and, in a different pen and handwriting, had "pit bull" written in.

And trust me, I am not a conspiracy buff - no little green men, no guy on a grassy knoll - but these are clearly altered. And even with the alterations, the numbers don't match the numbers they give."

Emil Anderson responds to erroneous letterWe respond to the erroneous letter that you published on October

29, 2015 from a Mr. Tom Anderson.The District of Hope has not been cutting the grass of any proper-

ties owned by Emil Anderson Construction (EAC.) We use our own employees or a landscape subcontractor to do such tasks on our prop-erty and other areas around the District of Hope that are part of our highway maintenance contract with the province.

Emil Anderson Construction also does not store “toxic chemi-cals” on our property which is validated by a Phase 1 Environmental Assessment prepared by Keystone Environmental Ltd.

To avoid any future misunderstandings we have moved barrels of bolts, rock anchors and other hardware used in our mainte-nance and construction activities from the exterior of our yards

into warehouse space.As EAC has done for over seven decades, we will continue to sup-

port community projects, school and community groups, student scholarships and other worthwhile efforts in the District of Hope. We will continue to pay property and school district taxes on all the prop-erties that we own in the District. We receive and expect no special services from the District of Hope, except those provided to all taxpayers.

To all area residents, you should be made aware that Kinder Morgan Canada is about to partake on a Pest Management Plan for its pipe-line right-of-ways, through the District of Hope and beyond, to begin after November 30. The purpose of this plan is to remediate living insects(animal life) with 12 different biological agents, some cancer caus-ing, including glyphosate(Roundup), triclopyr(Garlon), and 2,4-D. Not only are these immediate remediates of insect life, they also pose a leeching threat to run off and ground water, and could include a threat of larger ani-mal life, including human if consumed

through contact, water and food chain consumption.

This remediation of insect(pest) life is totally unnecessary, and remediation should be contained to plant life only and by physical means, such as hand cut-ting, pulling, mowing, trimming, prun-ing, and slashing.

Anyone wishing to contest this absurd method of pipeline maintenance, should do so by contacting and protesting to the Ministry of the Environment, or by directly contacting Kinder Morgan Canada at: 7815 Shellmont Street, Burnaby, BC V5A 4S9.

The Read Right Society has been changing lives in Hope and surrounding areas, since its inception in 2008. The non-profit organization helps individuals to shape their perceptions of the world through enhanced literacy skills.

Aiming to empower people through their life skill literacy programs, with the unique vision to create a community that is engaged in the benefits of improved reading acuity, Read Right, has created the distinct opportunity for partici-pants to walk the path of higher learning and greater independence.

“People have issues, but by working together and with client follow through, there is huge progress,” Executive Director, Jodi McBride told The Hope Standard. “We play word games and it helps build confi-dence and good vocab-ulary skills.”

Through volunteer efforts and community engagement, individu-als seeking improved literacy are given the chance to alter their own circumstances, and seek out a life conducive to inclu-sion, self-actualization, self-determination and the ability to navigate successfully through tasks that many take for granted; tasks, such as filling out a job appli-cation, or insurance forms.

Rural areas are often at risk for poor litera-cy rates, according to McBride, with rough-ly 40 per cent of B.C. adults unable to effec-tively read a newspaper, or complete rudimen-tary tasks.

By increasing aware-ness, education, and simply extending a helping hand to those who are willing to take that first initial step toward a more progres-sive and fulfilling life, Read Right is there with innovative programs that provide connec-tivity by personalized tutoring sessions, work-shops and classes.

“Low literacy is often cyclical in families, so by helping people to learn coping skills, reduce stigma and bridge the literacy gap, we are able to make people more comfort-able doing those basic tasks,” said McBride.

Read Right offers youth programs (iHomework, fund-ed by Valley Youth Par tnership for Engagement & Respect for highschool stu-dents,) jam nights and adult literacy, while encouraging its clients to complete educa-tion certifications, or

in some cases complete a degree, as was the case with one of McBride’s mature client’s.

“We wanted to engage with the youth in the community and through surveys we conducted — we found the overwhelming response, indicated they wanted a safe place to learn without judgement” she said.

The society also provides programs like ‘Show Me The Money,’ which teaches essential money management skills like sticking to a household budget, as well as a computer literacy program geared toward seniors to help them navigate the digital divide.

Over 375 faculty and staff members at the University of the Fraser Valley made more than $75,000 last year.

Aside from the school’s senior executives, top earners included the director of international education, a senior research chair in criminal jus-tice and deans of arts and health science.

Altogether, the university with campuses in Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack and Hope paid over $69 million in employee compensation for the April 2014-March 2015 financial year.

The executive director of international educa-tion, David McGuire, earned a salary of $130,248, plus expenses of $61,611, making his total com-pensation the school’s third-highest, just after president Mark Evered and provost Eric Davis. His pay rose significantly since 2013-2014, when he made $105,194 in salary and $40,843 in expenses. McGuire joined the school in 2013, and previously spent over a decade working in higher education in Korea. Since 2013, international stu-dent enrolment at UFV has increased 38 per cent, keeping pace with a province-wide push for more international recruitment.

UFV’s highest-paid academic is Irwin Cohen,

the senior research chair in criminal justice and crime reduction. Cohen received $161,551 in salary and $15,653 in expenses in 2014-15. That’s $15,270 more in total than he made in 2013-14, when Cohen received a promotion mid-year, filling the position left open when Darryl Plecas left to become the MLA for Abbotsford South. The position is jointly funded by UFV and the RCMP, and has covered topics like security at the Vancouver Olympics and how to best police marijuana grow-ops. Other high-paid academ-ics were Jacqueline Nolte, dean of the college of arts, who made $170,691 in 2014-2015, and Joanne MacLean, the dean of health science, who

received $170,301.Fellow deans John English, of applied and

technical studies; Lucila Lee, of science; Rosetta Khalideen, of professional studies; and Susan Brigden, of access and continuing education, all received over $150,000.

On the administrative side, the highest earn-ers included senior executives like Davis, with $199,668, Jody Gordon, vice-president students, with $189,493, and Peter Geller, associate vice-president academic, with $177,570. The school’s highest-paid employee remains president Mark Evered, with $203,422 in salary and $17,427 in expenses for 2014-15.

UFV employees making solid wages with salaries at $75,000

The Ministry of Children and Family Development and the Office of the Representative for Children and Youth have initiated a joint review of the use of hotels to house children who are in the care of the Province.

"Our aim is to place children and youth in foster homes and residential resources that match their needs and minimize the possibility of further moves," said Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux. Together with the RCY, we are taking a close look at policy and practice to ensure that when young people come into government care we can provide them with safe, secure, appropriate living arrangements while we work to connect (or re-connect) them with a permanent, loving home."

The review will examine the historical and current usage of hotels as placements for children in care, including the demographics of those children, the reasons behind the use of hotels as placements and the potential risks to children in care associated with hotel stays. Most importantly, it will make recommendations regarding new policy and practice on hotel placements going forward.

The joint report is consistent with the approach sug-gested in the 2006

Hughes Review of B.C.'s child welfare system, when former justice Ted Hughes recommended, "the repre-sentative to take part in the development of policies or practices that reflect a deeper understanding of the needs and interests of children, youth and their families."

The joint review will incorporate all relevant data on the subject available to MCFD, its Delegated Aboriginal Agencies and the Office of the Representative.

It will include a review of relevant literature, compari-sons with policy and practice in other jurisdictions, con-sultation with subject-matter experts and interviews with MCFD and DAA front-line staff, supervisors, contracted

service providers and others.The final report will be presented to the Legislature and released

publicly before the end of this year."I want to support MCFD to reduce and eliminate the use of

hotels as placements, even in emergency situations. As always, our role is to help the ministry to meet its mandate and ensure

that children receive services that are appropriate rather than crisis-driven or stop-gap measures," said representative Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond. “While this review will not be incident-specific, individual cases that are part of it may call out for more detailed investigation by my office, should there be situations in which children have been adversely affected by hotel placements.”

Scholarships awarded

Ninety-one students will receive Ike Barber Transfer Scholarships worth $5,000 each to assist them in moving between B.C .post-secondary institu-tions in 2015.

The scholarships are awarded annually by the Irving K Barber BC Scholarship Society to under-graduate students who have completed at least one year at a public post-secondary institution in B.C. and are transferring to another degree-granting insti-tution to complete their studies. Scholarship funds come from the returns on a $15 million endowment established by the province in 2006.

The fund is named after philanthropist Irving K Barber who had a long history of supporting public education and research projects in British Columbia before his death in 2012.

“The Irving K Barber transfer scholarships support students by recognizing not only academic success, but also a commitment to improving their com-munities through volunteer work," said Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson. "This fund-ing helps students to focus on realizing their career goals and to participate in our thriving post-second-ary education system in British Columbia."

To qualify for a transfer scholarship, students must have strong grades and demonstrated volunteer ser-vice to their school and/or community.

“The Transfer Scholarship program was ini-tially established to support Ike Barber's vision that more students could pursue higher education if they could commence their studies locally and transfer when necessary to complete their particu-lar degree objective.

Doing this, students could avoid initial social disruption and higher costs associated with moving from their home communities to commence a degree program,” said Hugh Gordon, Chair of the Society.

The Irving K. Barber BC Scholarship Society offers scholarship and education award programs that sup-port BC students attending public post-secondary institutions. The Society recently announced expand-ed scholarship and award programs for Aboriginal students studying at the Masters and Doctoral level. Since 2006, the Society has awarded over $9 million in scholarships to thousands of BC students.

The Society’s programs are administered by the Victoria Foundation. To find out more about this fund or other Society programs, call 844-478-4645 (toll-free) or visit www.ikbbc.ca

River Monsters in HopeAn exciting opportunity to participate in a spe-

cial event at the Recreation Culture & Airpark Services (RSCA) ‘Try It Out Day,’ on November 15 has arrived. Made possible by a host of sponsors, the event will give the youth of Hope a chance to suit up and get in the water to see if the dream of forming Hope River Monsters Swim Club, can become a reality.

“We are quite excited about introducing the youth and parents of Hope and the entire Fraser Canyon Region to the world of competitive swim-ming — in conjunction with the RBC/CBC Sports Day celebration,” said event coordinator, Stu Leslie. “We plan to have a few coaches, kids and parents from neighbouring clubs at the event to demon-strate and welcome the new swimmers and parents to the Fraser Valley Swim Family.”

The non-profit organization is hoping to get enough local support to form the team, so they can officially make an application to the B.C. Summer Swim Association to begin the upcoming season if all goes well.

“Swimming is great for the kids — my daughter joined swimming, and it helped her to break out of her shell,” said Leslie. “It promotes confidence and a healthy sense of competition and sportsmanship.”

The organization is looking for local coaches, and has the full support of the Recreation Commission, who are on board to promote individual and com-munity health, according to Terry Raymond, chair-man of the FVRD Recreation, Culture and Airpark Services Commission.

“A swim club, provides another option and/or opportunity for com-munity youth of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to engage in physical activity and influence their road map to good health,” said Raymond. “We invite members of the public to come in and show their support for the River Monsters Swim Club and to encourage as many youth from our service areas as possible (North Bend, Boston Bar, Yale, Hope, Laidlaw and Sunshine Valley) to par-ticipate.”

For more informa-tion about the upcoming event please contact Stu at [email protected], or contact the rec centre at 604-869-2304.

SportsHudson’s Bay Company Heritage Trail complete

Barry StewartHope Standard

Six years. Twelve wil-derness campsites created. Seventy-four kilometres of trail restored. Thousands of hours of paid and vol-unteer labour — and it all came down to an overnight camping trip in the snow and sub-zero temperatures to put the finishing touches on Blackeye’s Campsite on the Tulameen Plateau.

The Hudson’s Bay Company (1849) Heritage Trail is now complete, though it likely will rest under a blanket of snow until next year’s hiking sea-son. The trail starts at Peers Creek, east of Othello and carries on to Tulameen, north of Princeton.

On Tuesday last week, Hope Mountain Centre’s program director Kelly Pearce was joined by Glen Keil of Hope, Kelley Cook of Princeton and Maurie Jackson of Burnaby for the final installation of signage and a roof for the bear-proof cache.

Keil and Jackson drove in with Pearce, taking the Britton Creek exit off the Coquihalla Highway to get onto the Tulameen for-est service road, then the Loadstone forest service road, which brought them within 8 km of the camp.

Cook drove in on back-roads from Tulameen, accompanied by her dogs Feral and Wheels.

A few weeks earlier, it might have been an easi-er hike — but the plateau camp is at 1850 metres, 200 higher than the peak of Mount Ogilvie. Snow was falling as they headed up with their overnight gear, tools and hardware.

By the time they got to thecamp the snow was almost up to their knees. Snowshoes might have been an idea but they were warm and dry at home.

“We started hiking at 10 a.m. and got to the camp by 4 p.m.,” said Pearce. They set up their tents and got a fire and supper going before working on the site improvements.

“There was quite a bit of work to do and we worked into the night with headlamps,” said Pearce. “A big frontal system was coming in, so we wanted to get it done.”

Routered wooden signs, made in Hope by Justin Brown, were bolted to prominent trees and the metal-and-wood roof was attached to

the bear-proof food cache.“The camp was named after Chief Blackeye,

who was based in Tulameen,” explained Pearce. “His family used the trail to get from Tulameen to the plateau for hunting and for harvesting berries. Blackeye showed the trail to the fur traders.”

Over the six years of redeveloping the fur brigade trail, campsites have been built at four historical stopping points, said Pearce. A further six sites have been built in the gaps between, for hikers laden down with their gear.

“Brigades travelled 20 miles a day, which is far more than the modern day backpacker would cover,” said Pearce. “But they had horses to carry most of the load. There was still plenty

of work to do, though.”Pearce said the brigades wouldn’t have used

the trail during the snowy months — but one of his work crew got a life lesson in the harshness of the high altitude wilderness.

Three of the four had winter-rated sleeping bags and by bedtime the thermometer had dipped to -12º C. Keil was sure it was -15 — and he was the one with the sleeping bag that was only rated to 0º. He had borrowed it from his son, Adam. “Even the dogs were begging to get into the tents, so they were let in,” said Pearce. “Glen should have taken one.”

“I wore all my clothes and my down vest but not my outer jacket because it had snow on it and felt frozen,” said Keil. “I maybe slept for two

hours at the most in the early morning. I woke up at first light, at maybe 6:30 a.m. and decided to get up because I was cold, so best to move around.

“My boots were covered in snow and wet from perspiration so they froze overnight,” he added. Not something he’s used to, rolling out of bed at home.

“I’ll try winter camping again — but I’ll bor-row or invest in the right gear,” said Keil.

The Hope Mountain Centre for Outdoor Learning has plans for a grand reopening at both ends of the trail on the May long weekend in 2016, with historians and historical actors, horses and black powder guns. Watch for details closer to the date.

Projects: • 6th Ave., Coquihalla Street, Rupert Street• Sewer Inspection• Water Inspection• Storm Sewer Inspection• Road base and subgrade inspection• Pavement

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLANApplication #: KMC-FACILITIES- IVMP-2015

Applicant: Kinder Morgan Canada (KMC), 7815 Shellmont Street, Burnaby BC V5A 4S9. Cheryl Thesen (403-358-2509).

In accordance with the British Columbia’s Pest Management Act and Regulations, KMC is required to develop a Pest Manage-ment Plan (PMP) (for KMC the PMP is referred to as the Integrated Vegetation Management Plan (IVMP)). The PMP manages

problem vegetation, including control of noxious weeds and invasive plants within KMC facilities. Facilities include pump

stations, valve stations, terminals, tank farms and office/maintenance facilities. All facilities are fenced, secure compounds

not accessible to the general public. The facilities are located in proximity to the following communities in British Columbia:

Valemount, Albreda, Blue River, Avola, Vavenby, Clearwater, Darfield, McLure, Kamloops, Merritt, Kingsvale, Hope, Chilli-

wack, Abbotsford, Sumas, Langley, Burnaby and Richmond.

This PMP has been prepared to replace the existing 5 year PMP which expires in 2016. The proposed duration of the IVMP

(PMP) is from March 31, 2016 to March 31, 2021.

The vegetation management and weed control methods proposed for use include hand pulling, mowing, trimming, prun-

ing, selective slashing, girdling, geotextile fabric, retaining existing low ground cover, and seeding, fertilization where set

backs permit and tree/shrub plantings. The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the PMP (IVMP) applies.

KMC conducts all work, including pest management, in strict adherence with all applicable laws and regulations.

The common names and an example of trade names of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: aminocy-

clopyrachlor (Navius VM), aminopyralid (Milestone), chlorsulfuron (Telar), clopyralid (Lontrel 360), dicamba (Vanquish),

diflufenzopyr (Overdrive), diuron (Diurex 80 WDG), flumioxazin (Payload), fluroxypyr (Retain B), glyphosate (Vantage XRT),

imazapyr (Arsenal), indaziflam (Esplanade SC), MCPA (MCPA Amine 500), mecoprop-P (Mecoprop-P), metsulfuron methyl

(Escort), picloram (Tordon 22K), triclopyr (Garlon XRT), 2,4-D (2,4-D Amine 600), Hasten (adjuvant) and siloxylated poly-

ether (adjuvant). Application methods include: backpack, power hose and nozzle, wick/wipe-on applicator, squirt bottle

and boom sprayer.

A draft copy of the proposed IVMP (PMP) and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined in detail online at:

http://www.kindermorgan.com/content/docs/kmc_facilities_ivmp.pdf or by contacting the Applicant listed above.

“A person(s) wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest

management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant within 30 days of the publication of this notice”
