Newspaper ads, both print and online, play a key role in helping people make their banking and investment decisions.

Newspapers and their sites outperform all other media in engaging Canadians, including high-income Canadians, boomers, moms and even young adults.

All of which makes advertising in newspapers a very smart move.

Mark Strahl has hung on to his seat in Ottawa.But he’ll be moving to the opposition benches fol-

lowing his Conservative party’s stinging defeat to the Liberal Party on Monday.

With some polls still counting, the Liberals were elected or leading in 184 ridings – more than enough to form the next majority government.

Th e Liberal’s march to victory started in the Atlantic provinces, where they claimed all 32 seats. It continued westward, prompting the CBC to project a Liberal government 20 minutes before the polls even closed in B.C. Th e early results cast a cloud over Strahl’s campaign party at the Best Western Hotel in Chilliwack. Th e mood lift ed as numbers from the Chilliwack-Hope riding began to trickle in. But a Conservative victory wasn’t assured until almost 9 p.m. With all the polls counted, Strahl garnered 21,315 votes (42.4 per cent.) Liberal Louis De Jaeger

was more than 4,350 votes back in second with 16,965 (33.7 per cent.)

Th e NDP’s Seonaigh MacPherson was a distant third with 9,148 votes (18.2 per cent.) Voter turn out was 71.3 per cent. (Th e numbers are still not offi cial.)

Strahl, speaking to supporters aft er they had watched Prime Minister Stephen Harper accept defeat, acknowledge the struggle the party faced this time around. “As you can see by the numbers,” he said, “the winds of change were against us.” But he stood by the Conservative’s record, echoing Harper’s comments to supporters in Calgary that the Canadian economy is the strongest it has been in years.

“Th is is a great record that we can be proud of, and that we were a part of here in Chilliwack,” Strahl said.

“Wake up call.”Meanwhile at the Liberal headquarters downtown

Chilliwack, the celebration started before the polls even closed in B.C.

Because the black out was removed this year, poll results from the East Coast and Ontario were avail-

able earlier than usual. Louis De Jaeger’s supporters erupted when they heard the Liberals had formed government. And early poll results looked promising for De Jaeger as well, leading to cheers and drumming from supporter Eddie Gardner. When Strahl was predicted this riding’s MP, the mood became more somber. But in the end, De Jaeger roused his support-ers with a speech, and a promise that he isn’t fi nished with politics yet.

“We have a great government with a majority of power, and it’s what we wanted,” he said. “It may not have happened in this riding, but it happened in Canada.”

He said the close results should be “a wake up call” to Strahl.

“Start to get to work for our riding. We deserve bet-ter,” he said.

He also alluded to the possibility he would enter a diff erent political arena.

“Municipal elections are coming,” he said. “Never say never. Th at’s on the table.”

A reminder to pregnant women:

it’s OK to have a u shot during

pregnancy. In fact it will be of bene t

to you and your baby. The baby will

be larger, therefore healthier and

will also have protective antibodies

against u for six months after birth.

Two good reasons to immunize

against u while pregnant.

Remembering to take medication

can be a problem for some people.

Here’s a good idea: associate

taking your medication with

something you do at the same time

every day. It could be brushing your

teeth or shaving. Link the activity

with the taking of your medications

and it will soon become part of your

daily routine.

Parkinson’s Disease is not curable

but in June of this year, in the

U.S., an implantable deep brain

stimulation device was approved by

the Food and Drug Administration

(FDA). It is designed to help reduce

the symptoms and the tremors

associated with the disease. Wires

from a pulse generator leads to

certain areas in the brain so the

patient can control tremors as

needed.

Older readers may remember their

parents giving them blackstrap

molasses when they were kids. It

was supposed to be good for us.

It actually contains 3.6mg of iron

per tablespoonful and like Popeye,

more iron made us stronger and

healthier.

For questions about iron or any

vitamin or mineral supplements,

talk to our pharmacists.

NewsLiberal gains reach to B.C. in majority winTom FletcherBlack Press

Prime Minister-elect Justin Trudeau extended his majority government even into the B.C. Interior Monday, as Liberal Stephen Fuhr knocked off Conservative incumbent Ron Cannan in Kelowna-Lake Country.

Trudeau thanked supporters in his Montreal riding, and began prepara-tions to implement his new government policies after nine and a half years of Conservative rule in Ottawa. 

"For three years we had a very old-fashioned strategy," Trudeau said. "We met with and talked with as many Canadians as we could, and we listened."

Major commitments by the Liberal campaign include legalizing recreational marijuana sales and running three years of deficits to build infrastructure across the country.

Trudeau has also promised to scrap the Conservative government's approval for the Northern Gateway pipeline and enforce a ban on oil tanker traffic on B.C.'s north coast.

The Conservative Party issued a statement that Stephen Harper would resign as leader but would stay on as MP in his Calgary riding, where he won a seventh term.

"While tonight's result is not what we had hope for, the Canadian people are never wrong," Harper told supporters, adding his congratulations to Trudeau.

On Vancouver Island, seven-time Conservative MP John Duncan was knocked off by NDP challenger Gord Johns in Courtenay-Alberni, one of the new seats created for the 2015 election.

While the Liberals picked up several

Lower Mainland seats, traditional vot-ing patterns held up in much of the province. Conservatives Cathy McLeod (Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo) and Mel Arnold (North Okanagan-Shuswap) won their seats.

In Victoria, NDP incumbent Murray Rankin held off a challenge from the Green Party's Jo-Ann Roberts in a seat

where the Liberal candidate resigned over inappropriate comments on social media. Green Party leader Elizabeth May was re-elected in Saanich-Gulf Islands.

The NDP held the B.C. coast, with Rachel Blaney winning North Island-Powell River and veteran North Coast NDP MP Nathan Cullen re-elected in Skeena-Bulkley Valley.

Elected MP for Mission-Matsqui-Fraser CanyonStaff WriterBlack Press

The race was called shortly after 1 a.m., after a nail-biter evening showing Liberal Jati Sidhu and Conservative Brad Vis in a close race as results slowly rolled in.

The final vote tally for the evening was 16,606 votes for Sidhu and 15,547 for Vis. NDP candidate Dennis Adamson came in third with 9,167 votes.

Overall, voter turnout was close to 70 per cent — a signifi-cant increase from below 60 per cent estimated from redis-tributed results of the 2011

federal election.Sidhu's campaign event,

at the Abbotsford Banquet Centre, was attended by a large group of friends and supporters — about 100 stayed all night to hear his victory speech.

"It's exhilarating. The fruit ripens when it stays longer on the vine," Sidhu said.

He's already thought about his first priorities when he gets to Ottawa.

"Being a farmer, I’ll have to look after agricultural sus-tainability. And infrastr ucture — that’s another

goal I have in mind," Sidhu said. "I’m pretty sure we’re going to be spending a lot of money on roads and bridg-es, I’d love to work with the municipalities and local gov-ernment to make that happen."

He insisted on the impor-tance of supply management programs and stakeholder input in agricultural and trade policy.

"We are operating a nation. But I need my stakeholders sit-ting on the table...I know first hand being a farmer how hard

it is if you don’t know what you’re getting into it. Supply management is a bread and butter for a lot of farmers, and we have (thousands) of dairy farmers in this coun-try, we need to protect their interest. They have genera-tions and generations into that business."

His well-attended cam-paign event showed the ded-ication of supporters, volun-teers and friends.

Continued on 4

"I can’t thank them enough. I think I said it in Punjabi, that I want to pay it back by serving my constituents. It doesn’t matter who they voted for, I’m going to be repre-senting the whole Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon."

Although the race was still uncertain at 11:20 p.m. on Monday, Conservative contender Brad Vis saw Sidhu's small but consistent lead and opted to give a concession speech.

Vis said he was disappointed with the results, which at that point had Sidhu just 700 votes ahead in the battle that had gone back and forth all night.

"We are devastated but life is bigger than politics and who runs government," Vis said at the Elks Hall in Mission, with wife Kat by his side.

Vis, who was at times tearful, said he was "really, really disappointed," but thanked his supporters for "doing everything right."

Although more than 35 polls had yet to report at that point, most of those were in the Fraser Canyon, which is predominantly NDP territory, and Vis didn't expect Sidhu's lead to wane.

Sidhu and Vis battled it out all night, with Sidhu holding the lead for much of the evening, with a small margin of between 150 and 600 votes. But the crowd in Mission went into a frenzy when Vis pulled ahead briefly at about 10:50 p.m. Sidhu regained the lead within minutes, leading to loud cheers at the Liberal camp.

The Liberals have swept the country to form a majority government with 184 seats; 170 seats are needed for a major-ity. Conservative candidates have been elected in 99; they will form the Official Opposition. NDP candidates have won in 44 ridings. The Bloc Québécois has 10 elected candidates and the

Green Party one.Residents of Mission and Matsqui were voting in the newly

created Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon Riding. The district was previously part of the Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission electoral district.

The new riding contains all of Mission, along with portions of Abbotsford north of Maclure and Bateman Roads. It also includes the Eastern Fraser Canyon north of the Fraser River,

and the Fraser Canyon north to Lillooet.Despite the geographically large territory, the

majority of the riding’s voters live in Mission and Matsqui.

Six candidates ran in Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon: Dennis Adamson of the NDP, Arthur Green of the Green Party, Jati Sidhu of the Liberals, Brad Vis of the Conservatives, Elaine Wismer of the Marxist-Leninist Party and inde-pendent Wyatt Scott.

Green received 2,288 votes, Scott 911 and Wismer 57.

More than 9,000 voters in both the Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon riding already cast ballots in advance polling. Across Canada, advance voting numbers were up more than 70 per cent.

At 7:50 p.m., NDP candidate Dennis Adamson said it was obvious from national results that the Liberals had run a good campaign.

"I'm a little bit surprised," he said.He said the issue of strategic voting, which may

have played a part in the Liberals' success in other parts of Canada, did not come up at the doorsteps when he was campaigning.

The overall results "are not what I wanted. But people have the right to choose."

At 8 p.m., Green Party candidate Arthur Green said strategic voting played a big part in the over-all results, nationally and locally.

"I did hear a lot about it, even from friends of mine. They said they were voting strategi-cally because they did not want to see another Harper government."

Green believes he could have got as much as 10 per cent of the vote if there had not been so much strategic voting.

Before results from the riding trickled in Monday evening, independent candidate Wyatt Scott said he hoped they wouldn't be indicative of a majority government.

“I think a majority government is not a healthy thing,” he said. “People have forgotten about the Liberal government that we had before we had this Conservative one.”

Scott said minority government, which gives all MPs much more say in each piece of legislation, is a much better system. He is hopeful that the Liberals will examine other means of electing rep-resentatives, such as proportional representation, as was promised during the campaign.

“There are dif ferent ways we can go about it,” he said.

He has enjoyed taking part in the lengthy campaign.

“It’s been an incredible amazing opportunity and I have met many incredible people through-out the whole riding.”

NewsThe Mylan Relay for Hope concludes at HSS

One hundred and seventy-seven days after its launch in St. John's, NL, the final three runners of the Mylan Relay for Hope, a cross-country journey to raise funds and awareness for those living with or at risk of HIV/AIDS, arrived in Hope.

The runners, representing the B.C. team, arrived on Wednesday before a crowd of students from Hope Secondary School and Mayor Wilfried Vicktor.

"Mylan and our partners The Running Room, Delta Hotels and the Elton John AIDS Foundation have created a unique, bold and ambitious national awareness campaign," said Gary Lacasse, chair of the board of the Canadian AIDS Society.

B.C. residents Pamela Haaf, Luke Bailey and Derek Flynn were the last three run-ners to participate in the baton exchange ceremony, which began in St. John's and continued across Canada.

They were part of the 44 men and women who participated in this 8,100 km relay run, which began on April 21 at St John's City Hall and reached Hope, B.C. on October 14.

The three B.C. residents ran the final 554 km of the relay.

"From one portion of the relay to the next, province by province, we have built positive relationships and stimulated com-munity engagement as we moved across the country. I am confident that we can build on this foundation for the future, strengthen our ties with communities and continue to raise awareness of the on-going realities of HIV infection," said Lacasse.

Sponsored by Mylan, one of the world's leading generics and specialty pharmaceuti-cal companies, the Mylan Relay for Hope supports the Canadian AIDS Society and aims to raise funds and awareness for those living with or at risk of HIV/AIDS.

"Mylan was grateful for the opportunity to lead this important campaign. The Relay and Mylan share a goal to set new standards in healthcare,” said Naguib Fahm, president of Mylan’s business in Canada. Today, nearly 50 per cent of those being treated for HIV/AIDS in the developing world depend on a Mylan antiretroviral product.”

Mylan is a global pharmaceutical com-pany committed to setting new standards in healthcare. Working together around the

world to provide seven billion people access to high quality medicine, the company innovates to satisfy unmet needs.

“We're proud of our company's efforts to continue expanding access to these critical medicines by making high quality, more affordable treatment options available to patients who need them — the grassroots support the Relay received across the coun-try was incredible to witness. We are grate-ful for everyone's support."

Elections Canada reports that 9,937 people showed up for advanced voting in Chilliwack-Hope over Thanksgiving weekend

That's a 261 per cent increase over the 3,808 who voted early in Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon in 2011.

It’s clear that 3.6 million people voting is great news. But the frustration experienced by so many seems at best a display of bad planning by Elections Canada and at worst a sign of deliberate voter suppression. And even more might have voted if they only could have. Like many other Canadians, Chilliwack resident Meghan Martel Reid keenly trudged off for the first day of advanced polls Friday. Her designated place to cast a ballot had a line that started in the school gym, wound through the hallway into the parking lot. She was told it would be an hour and a half wait.

“We, along with many others, turned around and left,” Reid told me.She tried again Saturday. Same scenario. Then she tried on the last day, Monday.

Twice. No luck. This is a Canadian citizen who really wanted to vote, and planned on being out of her electoral district on Oct. 19.

“Monday was actually the shortest line,” she said. “I made it in the build-ing. Only then to realize that it didn’t end in the hall at the gym entrance but snaked through the gym. I gave up when, after 30 minutes, only one person had come out.”

Others voted easily, but Reid’s experience was far from isolated. Voting in the 2015 federal election went over about as smoothly as a crunchy peanut butter sandwich in a public school cafeteria. Beyond extreme examples, such as some Yale residents being told they have to vote as far away as Mission, there were smaller missteps.Voter information cards (VIC) have been an issue. Personally, I didn’t receive one although my wife did. We also got one for the husband of the couple we bought the house from. How is that possible? We jointly file income taxes, which is presumably where Elections Canada gets the information from.

“We’ve had a lot of this happening,” a friendly Elections Canada staff person told me when I went in to get a new VIC. Then there’s the fact that those who are used to voting at Evergreen Hall are this time directed to the Skwah First Nation band office. The reason? Apparently “accessibility” as the wheelchair ramp at Evergreen Hall is a few degrees too steep. So people with wheelchairs and walk-ers need to travel a kilometre away from their normal polling station to increase accessibility. Got it? Others have reported misinformation at polling stations. Some voters tell me that Elections Canada staff were asking people in lineups if they had their photo ID that was required to vote. But here’s the thing: you don’t need photo ID to vote. Back to the lineups, we should not mistake enthusiasm for election tampering. Folks seem keen on voting early, something we have seen in all recent elections. This election saw four advanced days of voting rather than three, so an increase in chances to vote can hardly be seen as dissuading people to vote. On the other hand, if Elections Canada can’t figure out how to make the new Fair Elections Act work (i.e. more voting stations at each poll) then what’s the point of an extra day of early voting? Paul J. Henderson Black Press

As the dust settles from Monday’s federal election, to paraphrase former prime minister Kim Campbell, it’s time to talk about serious issues again.

The Conservatives were hoping to make 2015 a free trade elec-tion, by signing onto the world’s largest trade deal at the end of July. But things didn’t go as

planned at the talks in Maui, and Canada was among the players that walked away from the Trans-Pacific Partnership table at that time.

Then came five days of round-the-clock negotiations in Atlanta, with the U.S. push-ing for a deal with Japan, Korea, Australia and other Pacific Rim powerhouses to nor-malize trade in 40 per cent of the world’s economy. And the TPP came together at the end of September.

Canada and B.C. essentially got what our governments were demanding, which was broad access to Pacific Rim markets and continued protection for nearly all of domestic dairy, poultry and egg markets. Also preserved was B.C.’s regulated market for logs and U.S. lumber sales.

The 200-kg gorilla of the TPP burst out in the heat of the election campaign, and the Kim Campbell rule was demonstrated again. Much of the discussion revolved around alleged secrecy, as the legal text of the deal won’t be out for some time to come. Protected farmers downed their pitchforks, counting their blessings, and their guaran-teed compensation.

The NDP was forced to come out against the TPP, as it was against trade deals with the U.S., Mexico, Europe and others. But it’s getting lonely for them as the rest of the world moves on.

Within days of the TPP deal, the World Bank issued one of its periodic reports on “extreme poverty,” which it defines as an income of less than $1.90 U.S. a day. And

2015 is the first year when fewer than 10 per cent of the world’s people remain below this global poverty line, down from 12.8 per cent in 2012.

It’s easy for comfortable First World folks to protest conditions in running shoe and cell phone factories in India or China, but the graph of extreme poverty in those coun-tries shows steep decline since 1990.

Trade and technology are lifting up the poorest of the world.

For B.C., withdrawing from Pacific Rim trade is unthinkable.

We worry a lot about lumber and copper and natural gas, but the TPP also opens up huge markets for services, where much of our economic future awaits.

The question for us is simple. Can we compete in health sciences, engineering, architecture, digital media, and information technology?

Do we want to?The TPP doesn’t change B.C.’s dependen-

cy on the United States. As with NAFTA, our vital lumber trade remains under a separate

agreement, which expired on Oct. 1.I’m told by federal and provincial offi-

cials that at this stage, the U.S. isn’t even taking our calls on the softwood lumber agreement, which Canada and B.C. want extended. Americans are preoccupied with the TPP and domestic politics.

After decades of bitter legal actions from the American industry, the latest softwood deal has provided a rough peace. It set a floor price for B.C.’s allegedly subsidized lumber exports, with an export tax collected by Canada when the price went below the floor of $355 per thousand board feet. That money went back into our government gen-eral revenue.

Higher prices meant no export tax was collected through 2014 and early 2015, and only five per cent as of September. Now that the agreement is expired, by default we have actual free trade in lumber for up to the next year.

LettersThe elephant in the room

Having attended the recent AdvantageHOPE economic planning session, regarding engaging various sectors, for the upcoming OCP (Official Community Plan) I was surprised to enter a pos-sible planning session with only 18 people.

This consisted of AdvantageHOPE board mem-bers and staff, a few supporters, a few members of the general public like myself and three members of council and staff.

It left myself and others with a distinct sense, that I call “the elephant in the room.” Previous meetings for the public, had an estimated 50 to 60 plus, with my own best guess, being that this one would have perhaps 30-40 because of it being plan-ning, a subject some regard as too dry.

Most notably absent, was any official presence by the local Hope Chamber of Commerce and to the best of my knowledge, there was no one from any of the three local real-estate company’s, which of course are the foot soldiers of so many things relating to economic development.

Yet, the format was presented with no mention by the organizers at the beginning, or in closing remarks at the end, of these two major absences, nor not one attendee of any one of a few larger employers.

The only time it was mentioned, was in a pass-ing remark by a director of AdvantageHOPE while at the table, regarding the chamber of commerce withdrawing from this process.

Otherwise, we were asked to carry on with a set group format. No questions or comments from the floor.

Nothing.

With questions about the economic climate of Hope and ensuring more abundant quality future employment in the area, I would suggest that per-haps creating more of a sense of community, like ensuring substantially more public involvement, by regularly and actively engaging the public with AdvantageHOPE needs to be seriously considered.

Introducing a few elected positions and less appointments coupled with an expanded general membership, can and will create a more commu-nity focused climate, instead of the current discon-nect, that has seen good people question and be grilled for simply having the courage to want to ask questions of a group that is being funded by taxpayer dollars.

It all begins with leadership. It does not mean having to rework most of what

has been put into place, but does mean doing some honest soul searching, to ensure business protocol and direction have been adhered to.

Prospective new business or residential devel-opment tools, need to be quickly and efficiently accessible, be it on the website, social media or in print.

Being one of the first, amongst smaller British Columbia communities to have fibre optic cable, this and other many other commonly used website items, remain absent with an apparent redirect of energy, to focus on tourism at the expense of what most in business, would regard as the fundamen-tals of economic development, in small communi-ties to ensure a balanced approach of time, money and energy.

Located at a key junction in the province, the

District of Hope is well positioned for far more in business, than to be a seasonal summer fix for tourists and generally seasonal employment.

Long term prospects for those wishing to live and work here can enjoy far more stability, or simply ride the wild ride of the seasons, weather, and our own Canuck buck against the US dollar.

It has been stated and restated to look at expanding the business platform, with recent inroads to tourism being great for seasonal work and little else for the majority of workers.

We can develop a stable, more diverse economy that can only come with work, be it in lite indus-trial policy, or promoting future land develop-ment. As AdvantageHope continues to evolve, I hope it begins to heed the wishes of the people that pay the bills, the tax payer and gets on with the business of ensuring a future that is ripe with gifts and not gaffs in ensuring full public involve-ment and accompanying disclosure.

Failure to adhere to the cautionary leaked memo, about conflict of interest — I have to agree that yes indeed a line has been crossed, that can be dealt with, by simply doing the right thing.The thing one would typically do, with wearing many hats and given a short lead time to respond.

We have good people both in and outside of AdvantageHOPE, with the emphasis towards tourism being a nice step, but we need substan-tially more to ensure solid long term job possibili-ties for both present and future folks choosing to reside here.

Donald Stokes taxpayer

What is happening people?I lived in Hope in the 1950 and 60s, got married and moved

away but have come to visit ever since.I am shocked at the state this beautiful little town is in!What is happening people? Although there are a lot of new comers that have built some

beautiful new homes in Hope — the downtown area has turned into a dirty little shack town.

When I drive around the streets downtown there is garbage in every backyard piled sky high. The older homes that used to be quaint have not been kept up.

It seems to me either landlords or tenants don’t care. Are there no bylaws in Hope?

It will soon turn from a shack town to a RAT TOWN! Come on people and town hall — do something to improve this little town. Hope needs a face lift!

How disappointing to see a town that in the 1950s and 60s and 70s and 80s and was the hub for tourists turn into what it is now.

CommunityDomestic violence affects everyone

Gerry DybleSpecial to The Standard

Domestic violence affects one in four women — look around to your friends and know that in a group of women the chances of at least a couple of them being impacted by domestic violence is a high prob-ability. Sixty per cent of British Columbians know someone who has been a victim of sexual assault or domestic violence.

It is estimated that more than 160,000 B.C. women were victims of domestic violence from 2004 to 2009 and on average, ten women a year are murdered at the hands of their intimate partner.

As of 2010, there were 582 known reports of missing or murdered Aboriginal women in Canada with B.C. recording more than any other province. Research demonstrates that victimization rates are much higher among Aboriginal than non-Aboriginal women.

Twenty-four percent of Aboriginal women said that they have been vic-tims of domestic violence in the five-year period ending in 2004.

Geographic isolation, lack of access to services, lack of transporta-tion, and poverty heighten the risk for Aboriginal women.

The province of B.C. commits more than $70 million per year in prevention and intervention services and programs that benefit victims of domestic violence and other crimes.

It is estimated that 30 to 40 per cent of children who witness the abuse of their mothers are also being abused. Over 600,000 B.C. school-aged children are impacted by domestic violence and a young girl who witnesses her mother being abused is four times more likely to enter into an abusive relationship when she is older. Boys are ten times more likely to grow up to be abusers

if they witness their mothers being abused. These stats are alarming.

The question then becomes what can the public do to end domestic violence? Standing up against it is the answer. The month long Purple Lights campaign has been going strong with purple lights being shone across Hope. People show-ing their support for the cause by wearing purple have been helping to start the conversation around ending violence against women and children in the community.

“Each of us has the power to help another to gain the confidence and instill self-worth, so no child or woman has to be a victim of abuse at the hands of their intimate part-ner or parent,” said Gerry Dyble, executive director at Hope and Area Transition Society.

Be part of the solution and shine a light on domestic violence. Hope provides access to several services for women, children, and families through programs offered by Victim Services 604-869-7770, Hope and Area Transition Society (featuring Stopping the Violence and Children Who Witness Abuse programs) 604-869-5111, Jean Scott Transition House 604-869-5191 and Ann Davis Services 604-792-2760. All services are free and confidential.

Supporters came out in droves to light the tree for Purple Lights.

ERIN KNUTSON / THE STANDARD

Nurse practitioner impacts kids Local family nurse practitioner, Sue Lawrence, has

been leading the ‘Be Active Every Day Challenge’ for elementary school-aged kids at Coquihalla Elementary School during the month of October.

“It’s important to have kids start out on the healthy path early in their life — healthy habits formed at a young age are easier to follow as they get older,” said Lawrence. Hosting the challenge at a local school gives local primary youth care providers the chance to build on community partnerships and to really have a positive impact on how youth perceive healthy living.”

The month long province-wide initiative was designed to encourage children to be conscientious of their health hygiene, while challenging them to embark on a mission to get at least one hour of physical activ-ity every day. Only nine per cent of kids are currently meeting the Canadian Guidelines recommendation on daily physical exercise. The Doctors of BC’s Council on Health Promotion program has stepped in and created the Challenge to incite kids aged five to 11 to participate in a unique movement dedicated to fostering healthy lifestyle choices.

“We are dealing more and more with diabetes and obe-sity problems, and I worry about social isolation for the kids, with the use of cell phones and internet — it’s about educating the public on these issues,” said Lawrence on

protecting the health of children. Primary care practitio-ners like Lawrence have jumped on board to ensure that young patients have the opportunity to engage in healthy living practices at a young age, while promoting good life long habits. More than 40 primary care providers are participating in the challenge with 33 schools and 4700 students actively engaged to up fitness levels, have fun, and increase awareness around healthy living. Elements from the Live 5-2-1-0 campaign that was launched earlier this year have been implemented. Hope has been a strong supporter of the message urging youngsters to enjoy 5 or more vegetables and fruits every day; power down to no more than 2 hours of screen time a day and play actively at least 1 hour a day, while choosing healthy, and 0 sugar-sweetened drinks. Demonstrating positive habits through videos and promotional items, Lawrence will celebrate the kids’ achievements at the end of the challenge by handing out certificates.

The children were asked to keep journals about their progress during the month and the Bike Stars theme this year was instrumental in giving them tools to be Bike Fit, while engaging them in a fun and interactive way. A contest designed to have kids write in about their active stories, will provide the chance for one lucky fitness enthusiast to win a new bike to help them realize their Bike Fit goals.

A couple, accompanied by their cat, and traveling from Chilliwack to Calgary on the way to new beginnings were recently met with tragedy when their RV incinerated, leaving them stranded in Boston Bar.

Struggling to get help and to find a way to pay expenses that were quickly piling up from the accruement of a variety of assistance services; which, included towing services and supplies from the Boston Bar Kal Tire — the distraught couple eventually found their way to Hope.

The pair arrived at The Hope Standard, visibly shaken and spoke of their harrowing ordeal. It was the advent of Thanksgiving weekend, and

the couple though traumatized reported that people in Hope were friendly and had stepped in to lend a hand.

“The people at the Hidden Treasures Thrift Store (Hope Community Services) were amazing, and gave me this jacket and some new hiking boots,” said Kara Lee Armstrong, of a new winter jacket and a solid pair of boots donated by the non-profit organization.

“We lost everything in the fire — all my daughter’s stuff was in that RV,” she said tearfully.

As the couple continued to describe the heart wrenching details of their ordeal, they began to visibly brighten. In fact, they started to beam about the manner in which a variety of local emergency services had

extended their support during a trying and devastating time.

“We want to start a new life and then this happens, but at least we have each other,” said Edward Gray Stacey.

“We want to thank the people of Hope for helping us out in a way that we haven’t been helped since this whole thing started — we feel lucky to be alive and just knowing that people care is a big help.”

The couple were invited to enjoy Thanksgiving in town, and were connected with the proper channels to help support them in their journey to a new life.

With smiles on their faces the pair left — new hiking boots and all.

“We may even get a chance to get to the Othello tunnels now,” said Stacey.

CommunityHope Mountain Centre campaigns

to get local youth outsideMichele Wiens Special to The Standard

Hope Mountain Centre (HMC) wants to expand their outdoor education programs to include all Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in the Fraser Cascade School District.

Through a video presentation and a Community Champions grant application to BC Hydro, Hope Mountain Centre has made it to the semifinals of this competition.

“The money won (up to $10,000) will fund the development of these new programs and pur-chase and build learning resources that enhance the experience,” said Program Director, Kelly Pearce. How can the public help? From now until November 30 each person in B.C. can vote once a day, every day to support Hope Mountain Centre’s application.

“All we ask is for 20 seconds of your time each day and that can make a difference to kids and to our community. I set my

phone alarm to remind me each day at 10 p.m., that it is time to vote,” said Board Chair, Michele Wiens. “You do need to actually be in B.C. to vote — so voting is not allowed while away on holiday outside of B.C.” Currently Hope Mountain Centre provides

school outdoor educa-tion programs to Strong Start, Grades 3 to 4 and 5 students.

“To accomplish this win means that through Hope Mountain Centre and Fraser Cascade Mountain School all students in our District from ages 3 to 18

will have outdoor educa-tion. That is unique in our province,” said Wiens. To vote go to: champions.bchydro.com and choose Hope Mountain Centre or go to Hope Mountain Centre facebook. Watch the video, vote, and get more kids outside.

Hope Mountain Centre volunteers carry a 270-lb food cache through old-growth forest in the Upper Sowaqua on Sunday, helping to complete “Colvile Camp” on the Hudson’s Bay Company Trail.

Five blooms was awarded to Smith for the exceptional effort demonstrated by the local branch during the 2015 awards ceremony in Kamloops earlier this month. “We have a phenomenal group of volunteers in Hope — our recipe for success is that everybody is positive,” Smith told The Hope Standard. “We have the highest score of any group in the province and we have donated over 1400 hours with the help of 26 volunteers. Smith is most proud of healthy living initiatives in the community like You Grow Foods and Hope Community Garden.

Cheryl Lynne LaceySpecial to The Standard

Andrew Nicholson, also featured as Andrew the Crazy Canuck in The Hope Standard's October 8 edition will be offering hip hop and east coast swing classes at the Studio of Music, Dance and Theatre on 6th Avenue. 

The Studio is excited to have Andrew working alongside them. His vast repertoire of professional experience in all venues of theatre and dance is so refreshing and exciting to have in Hope. 

This is an excellent opportunity for people here to study with a seasoned and accomplished instructor.

Andrew will be offering an introductory hip hop workshop on October 26 at 5 p.m.

The aim of the Studio is to provide professional classes for every-

one at affordable prices with no registration fees. Studio Directors, Cheryl Lynne Lacey and Lori Steberl   are firm

believers in the motto "performers need to contribute to the commu-nity" and students need to be involved in helping their community. 

There is no need for registration or hidden fees which put addi-tional stress families.

Music, dance and theatre are so important to the development of youth and children and to reducing isolation for seniors and adults. 

Andrew fits right into the Studio's belief system of increasing self esteem in all members of the community while having fun.  

Andrew is also joining the theatre group and will be performing in the pantomime production of "Freezing"  on November 21 and 22. 

His character will portray Rambo, returning 30 years later, to save the town of Hopeful from the evil Ice Queen Freezella.

Friends in fitness for lifeSports

Barry StewartHope Standard

These two women are definitely committed to staying fit. Without fail, Brenda Deschenes and Miranda Cowan have had at least 30 minutes of physical activity every, single, day since November 1, 2014.

“Yes, there have been days when we have had colds, injuries or headaches,” said Cowan. “But we have both been healthy enough over the last year that we have managed to get our 30 min-utes in — even on crutches.

“I like to say that the reason nei-ther of us have been too sick to get our time in, is because we have made exercise part of our routine.

The exercise gives us fresh air, sun-shine, a chance to learn something new, or a chance to visit with each other and also other Team F.I.T. mem-bers or friends.”

The two met when they got involved in the Team F.I.T. learn-to-run program at C.E. Barry School and the group has motivated them to stay fit and active.

“The idea started with one of my friends posting the 30/30 challenge (30 minutes of exercise for 30 days) last October for her cross-country ski club,” recalled Cowan. “Pauline Johnson (Team F.I.T. leader) and I decided we would do it as a Team F.I.T. activity to motivate people to stay active when the weather was getting cold and wet. She had some challenges, such as trying a new sport — and we did.”

A good number of locals joined the challenge — as well as family and friends and former Hope resi-dents, stretching from the Okanagan to Vancouver Island.

Each day, challenge members would post their activities on the group’s Facebook page, building on the team spirit and nudging each other to be accountable to the group and, most importantly, to themselves.

“Towards the end of the month, Brenda let me know that some of the participants were going to do a 30/365, so we figured why not try it too?” said Cowan.

Thus, began their amazing chal-lenge, with not even one blemish on their record — through foul weather, or the temptation to take a lazy day, certainly played at their willpower.

“On days that one of us is struggling to feel motivated to do the 30 minutes, the other friend will say ‘come on, let's get out there, added Cowan.

“Many times, Brenda has done her 30 and I’ve had a long day at work and would rather sit on the couch when I get home — and she’ll come over and we’ll walk together. Or I’ve done my 30 and she isn't feeling up to the challenge, so I’ll go over to her place and walk with her.” When Hope was hit by the severe ice storm in January, they had the perfect

opportunity to take a break — but they didn’t.“We walked very carefully,” said Deschenes.Even power outages couldn’t stop them. Deschenes fig-

ures she and Cowan have exercised together for over half of the days. Others were solo or with spouses or other friends. When the ice storm knocked their power out, Miranda and her husband Jacob got out the old Victrola hand-cranked record player and practiced their dance moves.

“It was my Aunt Sibyl’s,” said Cowan. “We had no power and the house was chilly because the furnace wasn't on — but our gas fireplace downstairs was giving off heat.

We had just taken one dance lesson at the studio and I

was determined to get my 30 minutes in, so Jacob and I practiced dancing for an hour or so, with some music from the 1930s or 40s.” Running, hiking, YouTube yoga, aquafit, geocaching, rec centre exercise classes, skiing and curling have helped the duo put activity into every day — and now they want to up the challenge to 60 minutes a day for the next year. “We always get our 30 minutes but are often over,” said Cowan. “Some days, we have hiked for 9-plus hours but our rule was no banking time, to take a day off.”

“It will definitely be tougher — but we can do it. said Deschenes. Cown seconded that affirmation.“Yes, we can.” agreed Cowan.

Miranda Cowan (left) and Brenda Deschenes have done at least 30 minutes of activity on every day since last November — and they are now upping the challenge to 60 minutes per day for the coming year.

de MEULDER, Carry

November 6, 1942 - October 17, 2015

We are sad to announce the passing of Carry de Meulder on

October 17th, 2015 at Chilliwack General Hospital. There will

be a reunion in her memory on Saturday, October 24, 2015 at

2pm in the Grace Baptist Church, 949 Third Avenue, Hope, BC.

She is loved and will be missed by her husband Hank. Also by

her children, Carol (Enrique), Eric and her grandchildren, Briana

(Tim), Jerusha (Franco), and Daniella. By her brothers, Frans

(Marjon), Karel (Mary) & Ben (Dini) and her sister, Lies (John).

Nieces, nephews, other family members and her many friends. 

"Isaiah 40:31” -  But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew

their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they

shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

CATT, Ryan DouglasAugust 26, 1992 - September 28, 2015

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to a loving son, brother, grand-son, nephew, cousin and friend. Ryan was known for his quick and beautiful smile and his gentle and compassionate nature. He is survived by his parents Gord and Wendy (Haroldson) Catt, his broth-ers: Max and Curtis, grandparents: Stan and Sylvia Haroldson and Mariette Catt, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.He was predeceased by his uncle, Bruce Haroldson, and grandfather

Ozmer Catt. Ryan was completing his electrical apprenticeship with B.C. Hydro when he was diagnosed with cancer. He quietly battled this illness with amazing strength and dignity. One of his nurses from Lions Gate Hospital paid Ryan a special tribute. She likened him to Terry Fox in his courage and determination to survive his cancer and suf-fer through the pain so he could be with his Mom and Dad, Max and Curtis and all of his loved ones.A Celebration of Ryan’s life was held on Friday October 9, 2015 at the Pinnacle Hotel in North Vancouver.

NICHOLSON, Gorden RayFebruary 23, 1935 - October 3, 2015

With sadness we announce the passing of Gordie Nicholson.Gordie will be sorrowfully missed by his wife Brenda who was al-ways at his side providing love and care. He will also be missed by his children: Mitchell, Mark (Jacqueline), Lance, Kerry Anne (Bruce), Sheila, stepsons: Jeff and Scott (Angela), 14 grandchildren and one great grandchild.Gordie was born in Aldergrove. He spent the better part of his youth in Botany Valley, north of Lytton, and Othello before settling in Hope for the past 70 years. He was born in the middle of a large family. He was predeceased by his father Edward, mother Minnie, broth-ers: John and Clifford and sisters: Lenora, Ellen, Marlene, Valerie and Sheila. He is survived by brother: Roger and sisters: Sharon and Virginia.Gordie’s good nature, humour and sharp wit endeared him to many. He always had company. It was people that brought him joy and he had many long lasting friendships. His humour was infectious. He could readily make his granddaughters giggle, his grandsons guffaw and the rest of us shake our heads and laugh. He was generous; al-most to a fault. His fridge was always open to the thirsty, his cup-boards to the hungry and his heart to those that were hurting. Gor-die was once aptly described as a “rough diamond”. He will be missed.As requested, there will not be a service.

SCHACHTEL, Veronica (Verna)Veronica Katherine Schachtel passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 13, 2015, after several years battling cancer. Her loving husband Joe was by her side right to the end.Verna is survived by her husband Joe, of 57 years, and her three children: Brenda, Nina and Lloyd as well as her six grandchildren: Rob, Ryland, Miranda, Frazer, Avery and Delaney.Verna was a lover of all things musical - singing, dancing, playing the guitar. She and her husband

Joe were known at family dances for the unique country jig only the two of them knew how to do.Verna loved her family very much, and gave her love and energy to them for as long as she was able. Her greatest love, however, was for her God, Jehovah. She devoted many hours each month, for as long as her strength allowed, to the door to door ministry, sharing with others the Bible’s promise that God will soon restore this earth to a paradise - and will even resurrect those who have died.A memorial service will be held on Sunday, October 25, 2015 at 3 pm at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 1247 6th Ave, Hope, BC.

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

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

Agent: SMC Consulting, 1582 Lawrence Avenue, Penticton BC V2A 3C1 Tel/Fax: (250) 492-6193 e-mail: smcconsulting@shaw.caIn accordance with the British Columbia’s Pest Management Act and Regulations, KMC is required to develop a Pest Management 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’s rights-of-way and access roads to its pipeline systems and facilities.

In British Columbia, KMC operates the Trans Mountain Pipeline transporting crude oil and refined petroleum products and the Jet Fuel

Pipeline transporting aviation fuel. The pipelines are located below ground and in proximity to the following communities in British

Columbia: Valemount, Albreda, Blue River, Avola, Vavenby, Clearwater, Little Fort, Darfield, McLure, Heffley Creek, Kamloops, Merritt,

Kingsvale, Hope, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Sumas, Langley, Surrey, Coquitlam, Burnaby, Vancouver 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 cutting and pulling, mowing, trimming, pruning,

selective slashing, 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 and may include the use biological control agents. 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: aminocyclopyrachlor

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

flumioxazin (Payload), fluroxypyr (Retain B), glyphosate (Vantage XRT), MCPA (MCPA Amine 500), mecoprop-P (Mecoprop-P), metsulfu-

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

(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

http://www.kindermorgan.com/content/docs/kmc_row_ivmp.pdf or by contacting the Agent 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 (c/o SMC Consulting, Agent, at the address listed above), within 30 days

of the publication of this notice.
