To celebrate United Nations & Unicef International Children's Day, local dignitaries MP Mark Strahl, MLA Laurie Th roness, Electoral B Director Dennis Adamson, and Mayor Wilfried Vicktor met up for a mock voting and question period at the Rec Centre.

Th e 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 fi elded questions by the young students, addressing issues such as hu-man rights violations, climate change, infl ation and elected government offi cial salaries (to which offi cials 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 waffl es 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 sug-gested they fi nd an answer to the pressing question.

Aft er a successful google search the curious pair discovered the unique day, an International Chil-dren’s day the United Nations offi cially declared for November 20.

Th e 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 suff ering 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. “Th ey were all very nice,” she said of the four gents who graciously accepted her in-vitation.Violette imparted to Th e Hope Standard that she was a bit apprehensive about speaking publicly for the fi rst time, but that she enjoyed the experience

tremendously.“I felt more grown up,” she

said of the session. “And, I want everyone to know that voting is super easy.”

Th e home schooled gymnast enthusiast and pink lover, suggested that providing clean water, food, and education to children across the globe, and 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 diff erence.” With money saved from an independent business venture in lemonade and fresh cut fl ow-ers, Violette contributed $15 of her earnings to help children overseas receive clean water through United Nations & Unicef International.

WE ASK RESIDENTS TO: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.WE ASK BUSINESSES TO:Remove snow, ice and rubbish from the sidewalk and footpath bordering on the property not later than 10 o’clock in the morning of any day except Sunday or a statutory holiday.After a snowfall or ice storm, snow and ice must be removed from the roof or any other structure where there is potential for ice and snow to fall on any sidewalk or roadway.WE ASK EVERYONE TO:Try not to park on the road if possible after a snowfall. Vehicles parked on the roads will impede the ability of the snowplow to clear the road.

Be patient and thoughtful. The District staff is out there working on your behalf. A little consideration and common sense can go a long way when weather conditions are diffi cult.

WALK WELL FOOTCARE

Injuries from high heels has

increased substantially in the past

decade. Many of the injuries were

to the foot and ankle while some

also involved the knee, head and

neck. Broken bones were involved

in about 20% of the injuries. High-

heeled shoes are looked upon as

stylish but risky from a health point

of view.

Are you a “lark” (early riser) or an

“owl” (later to bed)? Neither has

an advantage over the other. The

key here is the number of hours of

sleep you get. If you have a 9-5

job, it’s good to be a lark but it’s not

as good for owls. Seven hours of

sleep daily is a great aid to better

health.

Long term studies on aging found

that signs of body deterioration can

be seen as early as age 26. But

how quickly we age is dependent

only 20% on our genes which

means we can control how fast

we age by taking care of ourselves

better. Keeping active, getting

enough sleep, watching what we

eat and getting regular medical

checkups….all contribute to a

slower aging process.

Pharmacists are often asked what

“works” to prevent or shorten the

duration of colds. Zinc lozenges

taken every two hours may help

shorten a cold but not prevent it.

They shouldn’t be taken for more

than one week. Hand-washing

many times a day will reduce your

exposure to cold viruses and is

always recommended.

If you are going on a winter holiday,

remember to bring enough of your

prescribed medication with you.

Getting replacements in a foreign

country isn’t always easy.

Distraught male apprehended by policeThe 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 Secondary 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 services 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 FeinbergBlack 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 impor-

tant contributor to the local economy for decades," said Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness. "With this new master plan, Hemlock is better positioned to sup-port continued economic development and tourism in the Fraser Valley as a unique all-season resort."

Since buying the resort in 2006, the propo-nent has invested $10 million into upgrades for 217 private homeowners. Now the "con-trolled" 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 the eastern Fraser Valley that much more appealing as a place to live and work.

"If we can say a world-class all-season mountain resort is just 45 minutes away, that's a huge plus for our area."

There are currently 1,076 units and four ski lifts, with plans to increase the ski hill infrastructure to 23 more lifts over the build-out period of 60 years, with 20,000 additional residen-tial units.

Phase I of the expansion should see a $500 million investment, creat-ing 1,153 FTE jobs, with another $1 billion over the years for Phase 2 to build-out.

Officials signed an "impacts benefit agreement" which maps out opportu-nities of the proponent and Sts'ailes First Nation, such as a joint venture

development on nearby Harrison Lake. Lakefront ideas include a indigenous-

themed residential project and small marina, with a focus on year-round recreation like mountain biking, hiking and ATVing.

Fraser Canyon Hospital meets targetJeff NagelBlack Press

Hospitals in the Fraser Health region have improved slightly from the spring on key indicators of congestion, but large num-bers 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 admission within 10 hours.

The majority of incoming patients wait longer than that at every other Fraser hospital.

And two thirds or more of the patients are wait-ing longer than 10 hours at Abbotsford Regional, Chilliwack General, Delta, Eagle Ridge, Ridge Meadows and Surrey Memorial hospitals.

In contrast, neighbouring Vancouver Coastal health authority reported it's essentially meeting the same target with more than 54 per cent of its patients getting a bed within 10 hours.

From April to August, Fraser averaged 204 patients across its hospitals who've been admitted but not yet given a proper bed and are instead being treated in ERs, hallways, lounges or other non-acute care areas. That's down from 222 in the spring, but still in excess of a target of 165 or less.

However, Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said the latest data available shows a further drop in October to 199 and all of those patients are now in ER beds, not hallways.

Juma credited the improving trend to Fraser's decision to use $5 million to hire more staff to prevent unnecessary hospital admissions, support weekend discharges and speed transfers from emergency to inpatient units.

"That investment that we had made earlier in

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 hos-pital 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."

Instruction to pro-tect children from "cy-berbullying" should be included in B.C.'s new school curriculum, ac-cording to a new report from the province's in-dependent child welfare and privacy offi cers.

Th e B.C. government's school anti-bullying pro-gram was put in place in June 2012. Four months later, 15-year-old Aman-da Todd posted a video of her online treatment before she killed herself at her Port Coquitlam home, putting an inter-national face on the dan-gers faced by young peo-ple socializing online.

In 2013, Nova Scotia teen Rehtaeh Parsons was also driven to sui-cide aft er explicit pic-tures of her were circu-lated on social media. Representative for Chil-dren and Youth Mary

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

"Th e circumstances leading to the deaths of these two young women highlight the signifi cant pain and suff ering young people can endure when they are faced with re-peated cruel treatment by their peers through online means," Den-ham and Turpel-Lafond conclude. Th eir 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. Th at strategy pro-vides for anonymous reporting by students or

parents of bullying, ei-ther online or in person.

Th e report calls for the education ministry to "ensure that devel-opmentally appropri-ate learning objectives about cyberbullying and digital citizenship be included in the pro-vincial school curricu-lum and delivered to all school-age children as soon as possible."

Education Minister Mike Bernier said Fri-day the new school cur-riculum, which began implementation this fall, already includes "a focus on bullying behav-iour and discrimination starting in Grade 4."

Bernier said in a statement the ministry has developed resourc-es for teachers, with course objectives for diff erent grades "about

cyberbullying, inter-net safety, privacy andsecurity, relationshipsand communication."

Denham and Turpel-Lafond cite researchshowing that 99 percent of young peoplehave online access out-side of school, and thatby Grade 11, more thanhalf sleep with theirphones nearby so theycan exchange messagesat night. Th ey cautionagainst parental eff ortsto monitor young peo-ple's communicationsaround the clock, or tocut off their access.

"For young people,halting use of social me-dia, websites, cellphonesor email accounts is animpractical solution,"the report states. "Itwould be equivalent tohouse arrest and socialdeprivation."

Hope Air helpsBritish Columbians

needing to travel for specialized health care will benefi t thanks to $1.5 million in fund-ing for Hope Air, an-nounced Shirley Bond, MLA for Prince George-Valemount and Mike Morris, MLA for Prince George-Mackenzie, on behalf of Health Minister Terry Lake. Hope Air, a reg-istered national charity, arranges free fl ights to those who can't aff ord the cost of an airline ticket to get to medical expertise or special-ized medical technolo-gies outside their home communities.

"We recognize that sometimes British Co-lumbians must travel for the care they need," said Lake. "Th is 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 par-ticipating commercial airlines for those in financial need with a confirmed medical ap-pointment.

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 fi nd the strength to cope with the day to day chal-lenges that emerge. Worrying about travel arrangements can be an unnecessary added stress factor," said Bond. "Th is funding provided for Hope Air will help reduce barriers and en-sure families can con-centrate on what mat-ters most, the health of their loved one."

Patients of all agescan use the service formedical appointmentsthey can't get locally,such as those off ered atBC Children's Hospital,BC Women's Hospital &Health Centre or the BCCancer Agency.

"When a family mem-ber is sick and needsspecialized medical at-tention, it shouldn'tmatter where they live,"said Morris. "Th e fund-ing being invested willhelp put their minds atease so they can focuson what matters, whichis caring for their lovedones."

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, he promises the entire federal cabinet will be involved.

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

“The old system was to give the file of the environment to the min-ister 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 con-sidered 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. bil-lionaires 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 emis-sions 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.

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 danger-ous 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 mil-lion 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 tem-perature 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 rep-resent 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. Black Press

Remembrance Day services in Hope, saw the gathering of hundreds of people, as residents, dignitaries and local officials surrounded the cenotaph at Memorial Park to honour the bravery of lives lost to war on Wednesday, November 11.

Honouring fallen soldiersPatzke letter on Hope?

A few days ago I was privy to hearing the fol-lowing 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 friend-

ly, 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 pre-vent garbage from collecting in backyards and alleys either.

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, preda-tor attacks and frostbite. Illegal abandon-ment 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 adop-tion 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 prov-ince-wide BC Pet Registry, bcpetregistry.ca, to help ensure if a pet is lost, it can be found and reunited with its family.

“Hill’s® Science Diet® is excited to con-tinue 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 sup-port 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 con-tinue the feeding regimen the BC SPCA has started, for a lifetime of health and happi-ness for their pet.”

Visit spca.bc.ca for more information.

Prrrfect weather for a furry companion

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

CommunityLung Association encourages Hope

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 win-ners every month. Sign up at RadonAware.ca.

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

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

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

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

Measured in bec-querels per cubic metre (Bq/m3), Health Canada recommends home radon levels not exceed a safety guide-line of 200 (Bq/m3).

As there is no known safe level of exposure, the BC Lung Association recom-mends 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 certi-fied radon mitigation professional can reduce radon levels in most homes by more than 80 per cent for about the same cost as other common home repairs, rarely more than $1,500 to $3,500.”

To learn more about how radon affects your lung health – and to enter the monthly radon test kit giveaway contest - go to the BC

Lung Association’s website RadonAware.ca or call the BC Lung Association toll-free at 1.800.665.5864.

For those who want to test right

away, affordable do-it-yourself radon test kits are also available for purchase online at RadonAware.ca and include home delivery of lab results for $30.

Tom DeSorcy, Volunteer BC Lung Association Director for Hope encourages BC homeowners to enter to win a radon test kit at RadonAware.ca.

Community

Alex Reimer is wired for success.To a teenager who loved installing car stereos, the life of

an electrician sounded pitch perfect. But the road of life can swerve suddenly, and several years and one serious brain injury later, Reimer finds himself soaring through the ranks of the oil and gas industry, and earning the 2015 Distinguished Young Alumni Award from UFV along the way.

From the frozen world of developing gas plants, to the creature comforts of leadership conferences in luxury big-city hotels, Reimer’s work is as diverse as his career path. While still in his 20s, he was lead contracting inspector for a $7-million compressor station — overseeing electrical and instrumentation installation at a plant worth $100 million while managing budgets, contractors, and ensuring the safety of a 60-person crew.

And all with a smile.“I didn’t take psychology in university, but I sure paid atten-

tion to mentors I’ve had who knew what it took to commu-nicate effectively. A lot of it starts with working hard yourself, setting an example, being fair, and actually listening to what people are saying to you,” he says.

“The quality of the time you take matches the quality of your projects.”

Barely 30, he now juggles his own very successful com-pany, Eye on Electric, with family life and his role as one of the industry’s youngest electrical and instrumentation construction inspectors.

Reimer himself is fairly electric, buzzing with energy after another 13-hour workday. His management phi-losophy is simple: work hard while treating people fairly and they’ll do the same for you.

It’s something he learned early in his training at UFV.His road to success started after being accepted to

UFV’s Career Technical Centre (CTC). A joint project of School District 34 (Abbotsford) and UFV, CTC provided practical trades training to high school students, giving a head start in trades and technical fields.

“I think it was the best thing that ever happened,” Reimer says of his experience.

“I kind of just ran with it.”He returned to UFV to start his journeyman process,

learning everything from power distribution systems to punctuality, thanks to one instructor who locked class-room doors every morning at 8 a.m.

“UFV instructors had such great teaching tools. They talked to you like an adult, they used humour, but they were also showing you what life was like in the real world.”

Reimer later enrolled in business classes, where he took advantage of small classroom sizes to maximize one-on-one time with instructors.

“There’s a real humanity to UFV professors, they worked hard even after class to help me understand the concepts, and then I worked my butt off to get A’s.”

But it wasn’t all work and no play.“I had a clear career path but I still had fun with

my friends.”Skydiving, bungee jumping, and cliff jumping helped

pass the time, but one fateful day snowboarding on Cypress Mountain almost ended it all.

Reimer was sailing down a run in 2008 when he caught an edge and fell, slamming his unprotected head into the icy hard snow. Headache aside, he seemed fine until waking the next morning gripped in a seizure. A friend called 911, the ambulance rushed him to hospital, and the doctors discovered a subdermal hematoma — bleeding near the brain.

More seizures followed.When another friend flipped open Reimer’s cell-

phone in the hospital, the first thing that popped up was a screen featuring a one of Reimer’s favourite say-ings: You Only Live Once.

His friend broke down in tears.“I almost bit the big one after that crash,” Reimer said.“It definitely caused brain damage and it definitely

changed my life, but I can laugh about it now.”The injury left him with minor memory issues, but no

major noticeable effects.“I don’t take as many risks, but I don’t know if that’s a

good thing or a bad thing; you still have to live your life.”And that includes making other lives better.Earlier this year, Reimer donated $1,000 to help

build a universal playground accessible to all students at Chilliwack’s Evans Elementary. His sister, Katrina Eng, contributed enormously to the effort. He couldn’t say no.

“Why shouldn’t all kids be able to enjoy playgrounds? That’s the last thing you want, to take any fun away from any kid”. It was an easy decision.

“I believe if you do good things for other people, good things will happen to you.”

That consideration spreads to jobsites.“I believe in talking to a guy in a positive way; you have

to help them, not hinder with negativity. If the contractor

works hard and keeps you on budget, he deserves a reward.”That could mean Christmas gifts, or a barbecued steak lunch, like

the one he recently grilled for his crews.“They’re working their butts off for you and you’ve got to

treat them right.”When he’s not working long hours, enjoying time with his family,

or searching for a decent seared tuna dinner in his adopted home of Fort St John, Reimer stays busy in his shop — often working on his truck — but still finds time to study up on the latest electrical and instrumentation innovations.

“If you’re not learning, you’re sitting still,” he says.“And you only live once.”UFV’s Distinguished Young Alumni award is reserved for a high

achiever under the age of 35 who demonstrated distinct excellence in one or more of the following areas: community, national, and international contributions; commitment to others; acted with self-lessness and/or courage; leadership; and creativity/innovation.

Reimer accepted the Young Distinguished Alumni award at UFV’s Town and Gown gala dinner on the Abbotsford campus on November 12.

FeatureThunderbird offers a safe haven to the marginalizedErin KnutsonHope Standard

The Thunderbird Motel is doing in a rural setting, what most major cities, have been unable to do in the area of providing safe housing to people struggling with homelessness, addiction and mental illness.

The facility is open seven days a week and pro-

vides a safe haven for its 24 residents and people passing through.

“Six thousand cities don’t have this — this is not something you see in small towns,” said Homeless Program Coordinator Paul Keller. “We are limited in some areas, but overall the model works.”

Retaining its original name, the motel was named after the Thunderbird, a First Nations

mythological bird that is supernatural and represents both strength and power. The bird was traditionally used in North American Indigenous art, music, and found in historic oral traditions. Keller felt it was appropriate to keep the integrity of the original name when the Thunderbird Motel was conceived in 2011.

Client centered, the Motel which is located on three acres of land, offers sup-port to its inhabitants. It’s a place where they have the ability to engage with one another in a supportive environment.

The Motel is unique in that it offers transitional and permanent housing options to people struggling with chronic homelessness. According to Keller, chron-ic homelessness happens for a variety of reasons, and generally people on the street recognize one another.

“They become their own type of family,” he said.

The Motel, which provides residents with a sense of security and a home, is set up to reflect the essentials of what a comfortable home life would provide for the average individual.

The main living area is spacious and creates the opportunity for residents to interact, enjoy a variety of activities, and contribute to the quality of life for everyone there.

“Contributing gives people a sense of belonging and wellness,” said Keller.

The Motel features an array of beauti-ful gardens that allow clients a chance to cultivate their individual green thumbs, while helping them to create a sustain-able living scenario. By providing access to fresh fruits and vegetables, and with the arrival of the latest contribution to the exceptional gardens, a recent gift from Envision, which granted the facility over 35 new fruit trees — the nutritional needs of the clients will be met.

Through many partnerships, the Motel has created a sustainable living model that encourages people to take the initial step toward healthier living, while giving them an opportunity to live in a clean, inclusive,

and integrity based environment. Working in accordance with prevention

outreach agencies, homeless workers, non-profits, 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 forc-ing the individual.

“We don’t want to create an institutional-like 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 resi-dents 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 grad-ual 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 cur-rently 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.

Homeless Program Coordinator Paul Keller (far right) offers instructions to the crew at The Thunderbird Motel, while planting trees on the three acre property. Envision donated over 35 trees to its orchard.

Singin’ in the Rain tonightJonathon PolishakSpecial to The Standard

Greeting Hope Film Club Fans.

G e n e r a l l y our events are held on the last Thursday of each month, but as you may have noticed, things were shifted for October, November, and December.

That means tonight it's at 7:30 p.m. and you have the distinct oppor-tunity to see not only the most beloved musical of all time, but one of the great-est films in histo-ry as determined by the American Film Institute and many other crit ics ' top picks of all-time American cin-ema history.

"Singin' in the Rain" (1952) starring Gene Kelly, Debbie R e y n o l d s , and Donald O'Connor is sure to delight and lift our spirits to help us all enjoy the deluge we receive from the skies at this wet and soggy time of year!

You may also wish to know that 293 Wallace is

unable to perform their special menu for us this month as they are hav-ing their 'Martini

Mingle' event tonight.

They do plan to continue their c i n e m a t i c a l l y -

inspired cre-ations and will be back with us for December's film "Roman Holiday".

Hope to see you shake off your umbrella and make it to the the-atre this week!

Singin’ in the rain could not come at a more appropriate time with recent wind and rainstorms, power outages, and the determination to keep singing, even when it’s raining. Come on down to the Hope Cinema to enjoy the classic Gene Kelly film tonight.

SportsRainbucket proves camp worthy

Barry StewartHope Standard

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 prob-lems 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.

Monty Python was the

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 scaven-ger hunt, slingshot shooting — and flinging rubber chick-ens 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 down-pour but we had a huge bon-fire 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

Medlock. “They were down-loading it when they got home.

“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’d like to talk to Medlock about the local Beavers, Cubs, Scouts or Venturer Scouts, call her at 604-750-8294.

The Hope group’s campfire was a popular place to hang out during the Venturer Scout “Rainbucket” campout at Popkum

DOLAN, DonaldJuly 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 stum-bled, 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.
