Local resident and former Hope practitioner Dr. Ernie Murakami is on the verge of a medical breakthrough that could revolutionize the face of medicine and upset a potentially grossly misdiagnosed population ac-cording to his extensive life’s research on Lyme disease.
“Th e medical profession is being criminally negligent,” said Murakami of misdiagnosis’ being made in rela-
tion to the onset of Lyme disease.An 84 year-old activist who now
teaches at a naturopathic facility and is the founder of the Dr. E. Mu-rakami Centre for Lyme Research was once a prisoner in the Japa-nese-Canadian Internment camps during World War II.
He is no stranger to controversy. Mild-mannered in his approach
— the patriarch, who was disen-franchised by the B.C. medical community spoke passionately about his work during a recent
presentation at the Fraser Canyon Hospital to a group about the ef-fects of a relatively new paste on the market known as cannabidiol.
Th e derivative of marijuana, which is also a vegetable, boasts healing properties equal to traditional meth-ods (antibiotics,) without negative side eff ects according to Murakami’s early fi ndings.
His preliminary research sug-gests that cannabidiol, which can be legally purchased at the Green Cross Society of B.C. in Vancouver
could potentially be used to treat a variety of illnesses including dia-betes, cancer, fi bromyalgia, chron-ic pain and multiple sclerosis.
Having treated a vast number of Lyme disease patients and lecturing for over 40 years in the medical com-munity as a specialist in bacteriol-ogy and immunology, Dr. Murakami sought treatment for chronic suff erers who experienced symptoms of pain, arthritis, fatigue, depression (with sui-cide ideation) mental fog and organ failure.

B.C. carbon tax gets international attentionNews
By Tom FletcherBlack Press
Premier Christy Clark met Friday with the finance ministers of China, India, the U.S. and other G20 countries to tell them about the success of B.C.’s carbon tax on fuels.
Clark said in a phone interview from Washington D.C. she was invited there by the World Bank, whose president Jim Yong Kim co-chaired the meeting along with United Nations Secre-tary General Ban Ki-Moon.
Countries around the world are looking for greenhouse gas reduction strategies before the next UN climate conference in Paris next December, and Clark said there was a keen interest in B.C.’s unique experi-ence.
B.C.’s carbon tax was introduced in 2008, and is currently set at $30 per tonne of car-bon dioxide emissions.
That translates to about seven cents a litre on gasoline and similar taxes on coal, natural gas and other fuels.
“We’ve created one of the broadest-based carbon taxes in the world and used 100 per cent of the tax to reduce corporate, small business, and individual income taxes, and that’s re-sulted in robust economic growth compared to the rest of the country,” Clark said.
Clark put a five-year freeze on the carbon tax after winning the B.C. Liberal leadership, and the government has wound up its carbon offset purchasing office and withdrawn from a group of U.S. states that are working on a regional carbon trading plan.
Clark said B.C. will soon appoint a panel of “thought leaders” to see where the province can make further gains in greenhouse gas reduction.
One of those leaders who is unlikely to be in-
cluded is Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver, who has criti-cized Clark extensively for reversing climate policy progress made under former premier Gordon Campbell.
Weaver and NDP leader John Horgan say the province’s de-cision to ease emissions rules for liquefied natural gas pro-duction is a big step backward.
The Green Party has campaigned to increase the carbon tax to $50 a tonne immediately, and keep raising it to promote alternatives to carbon fuels.
Premier Christy Clark met with finance ministers of China, India, the U.S. and other G20 countries to speak about the success of B.C.’s carbon tax on fuels.

Changing your toothbrush every three months is one of the rules of good oral hygiene. It is also wise to change it after an illness…even the brushes on electric tooth brushes. Viruses and bacteria can live for weeks on our toothbrush and they can enter our bodies through a break in the mucus lining or an ulcer in the mouth. Get rid of any debris left on the brush after use and store it so the air can dry it thoroughly between uses.
Research is rampant in trying to nd new anti-cancer drugs. They are even looking at an old over-the counter drug, cimetidine, as
a possible candidate for cancer treatment. The drug has been around since the early 70s to treat peptic ulcers by decreasing acid production in the stomach.
Social media is helping people remember to take their medications. Work is being done on sending people text messages to remind them to take their meds. If they don’t respond to the message, they receive a phone call. This was a research study but can be done within families to help an elderly person using an easy-to-use smart phone. It’s easy to forget to take medications. Now it’s easy
to remind.
April is Cancer Month in Canada. Each year about 191,000 people are diagnosed with cancer and almost 40% will die from it. It bears remembering that about 70% of the deaths are from preventable factors: smoking, diet, obesity, sedentary lifestyles, alcohol and sun exposure.
Be an advocate for your own health. Be an active learner about all health matters including causes of cancer. Put our pharmacists on your healthcare team.

Trans Mountain crews allowed only on foot, without machines
News
Jeff NagelBlack Press
Metro Vancouver is bracing for protests in regional parks such as Colony Farm and Sur-rey Bend aft er negotiating a deal with Kinder Morgan granting its crews access to plan the route of the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion.
Regional district staff outline the agreements in a briefi ng note that will be before Metro mayors at a meeting Friday.
It sets out 10 Metro-owned properties – including portions of newly created Surrey Bend Regional Park, Colony Farm Re-gional Park and the closed Co-quitlam Landfi ll – where Trans Mountain crews have until Nov. 30 to conduct non-intrusive su-pervised visual surveys on foot.
Metro has forbidden the use of vehicles, machines or any digging or sampling, and it has reserved the right to terminate access on 24 hours notice, but regional dis-trict staff have still fl agged the visits as a potential source of con-fl ict with anti-pipeline protesters.
"Once the licence agreements are ratifi ed and Trans Mountain accesses the properties, there is
a high likelihood of stakeholder inquiries and media interest," ac-cording to the briefi ng note.
"Confl ict in the form of public protest and civil disobedience are considered real possibilities."
If that prediction proves ac-curate, the two regional parks may be ground zero for a replay of the confrontations that took place last November on Burnaby Mountain, where more than 100 protesters were arrested.
More recently, protesters ral-lied against the project near the proposed route in Fort Langley on April 11.
Th e regional district has not formally adopted a position on the pipeline twinning and stress-es the access agreements do not constitute any form of approval.
It also addressed public con-cern that Kinder Morgan may assemble pipeline components in Colony Farm park for a tun-nel under the Fraser River, a possibility that has already sparked protests.
Metro Vancouver says it has not consented to any use of its lands for construction staging or temporary work space, nor has Trans Mountain made such a request.
Metro is an intervenor in theNational Energy Board review ofthe project and has fi led numer-ous questions to Kinder Morgan.
Regional district offi cials areexpected to report back nextmonth with their assessment ofimpacts on regional assets, infra-structure and the environment.
Friday's meeting will also seeMetro mayors meet and ques-tion NEB chair Peter Watsonand Canada Coast Guard as-sistant commissioner RogerGirouard, who is likely to facemore questions about spill pre-paredness in the wake of theApril 8 spill of bunker fuel oilin Vancouver harbour.
For his part, NEB chair Wat-son, who is on a cross-countryoutreach tour, wants the mayors'advice on how the agency canimprove oversight of pipelinesand provide cities more informa-tion they don't already have.
Mayors are also to discuss acall by Burnaby for changes tothe NEB public hearing processfor the Kinder Morgan project.
Mayors from seven B.C. mu-nicipalities, including Burnabyand Vancouver, have already is-sued a declaration of non-confi -dence in the NEB review.
Grand Chief Stewart Phillip is joined by family members and other representatives of the First Nations community as they walk to the trail to Kinder Morgan’s second borehole project on Burnaby Mountain Thursday morning. The president of the B.C. Union of Indian Chiefs was among 23 people arrested for defying a court order.

The B.C. government has killed 11 wolves in the South Sel-kirk Mountains and another 73 in the South Peace region in the first year of a five-year plan to protect dwindling caribou herds.
The South Selkirk program left seven to 10 wolves alive because they were not targeting caribou, and their movements continue to be tracked. That mountain caribou herd is down to 14, com-pared to 18 last year and 46 in 2009.
The South Peace herds have also seen significant losses from wolves, with 37 per cent of adult mortalities confirmed
as wolf kills. Four herds in the region, the Quin-tette, Moberly, Scott and Kennedy-Siding, were tar-geted in the wolf removal program.
The 700-member Gra-ham herd, the largest in the South Peace, is being left without protection as a control group.
The program to shoot wolves from the air was a last resort after targeted hunting and trapping of wolves proved inadequate, some-times splitting up wolf packs and increasing predation of caribou.
The South Selkirk herd has been subject to intensive protec-tion efforts on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border. In 2007 the province banned logging and roadbuilding in its 2.2 million-hectare B.C. range and restricted off-road recreatioin to reduce
human disturbance.In the Peace region, restric-
tions were approved in 2012 to protect 498,000 hectares of high elevation winter range.
The modern program be-gan in 2003, after decades of managed hunting and other wolf control measures.
For the first part of the 20th century, B.C. offered a bounty on wolves that ended in 1955.
Beginning in 1950, baits laced with poison were used in bait stations and later dropped onto frozen lakes and rivers, which killed other species as well as wolves.
Large-scale poisoning in wilderness areas was sus-pended in 1960, but targeted baiting to protect livestock continued until 1999.
The B.C. government has completed the first season of a five-year targeted cull of grey wolf populations.

Th e B.C. provincial government is at war with its own citizens. Th ese days, when it comes to environmental protection, protests, blockades and civil dis-obedience comprise the last remaining communication tools available. Since the B.C. government dumbed-down, environmental protection laws several years ago, threats to health, safety and living conditions of citizens across the province have been mounting.
Th e record is clear: tax-paying citizens don’t have a chance. Look at Shawni-gan Lake, where 5 million tonnes of contaminated soil is to be dumped in a quarry that is located in its watershed source of drinking water for 7,000 people. Take the Kinder Morgan pipeline project to twin a pipeline containing bitumen from the tar sands through inhabited areas of Greater Vancouver. Consider the Northern Gateway Pipeline, denounced by First Nations groups, the Union of BC Municipalities, and environmentalists alike. Case in point is the 2014 Mount Polley mine disaster, where slurry containing arsenic, selenium and other heavy metals fl ooded Polley Lake and lakes/creeks downstream.
Now, residents of the Nicola Valley near Merritt are being inundated with sew-age sludge (the untreatable left -overs of waste water treatment plants, containing fecal coliform, heavy metals, and other noxious substances) from all over B.C. Private companies are being contracted by municipalities (Abbotsford for ex-ample) and districts (the Regional District of the Central Okanagan for example) to dispose of their sewer sludge.
Under the revised provincial Organic Matter Recycling Regulation, a private contractor can operate in secrecy with no requirement to let people nearby know what it proposes to do, give notice, post its plans publicly or consult.
Nor is there a licensing procedure, whereby government issues a per-mit for a private contractor to apply sludge to agricultural land. All the contractor has to do is to fi le an “Application Plan”, and 30 days later the trucks of sludge can start arriving.
Th e “Application Plan” does not have to include any information about people residing close-by; apparently, the eff ects the noxious operation will have on them is unimportant. And with staff cutbacks, there is no routine government moni-toring of the operation. Somebody has to complain, and then (maybe) an inves-tigator will be sent to visit the site. Th is means the contractor is free to dispose greater quantities of sludge, and the sludge can have higher concentrations of fecal coliform and heavy metals than the (practically un-vetted) plan described in the fi rst place.

Re: Conservatives’ dereliction of dutyHere is the truth about our Conservative Government’s econom-
ic record. Since our election in 2006, our Conservative Govern-ment has reduced taxes over 180 times. Maclean’s magazine said, “Finance Minister Joe Oliver can accurately claim that federal taxes are at their ‘lowest level in 50 years’” (April 20, 2015).
Th e Parliamentary Budget Offi cer, aft er analyzing our tax relief initiatives, concluded that the changes “have been progressive over-all and most greatly impact low- and middle-income earners.”
According to a study published by the New York Times last spring, Canada’s middle class is the wealthiest in the world. With the highest aft er-tax income, Canadian middle-class families sur-passed their American counterparts aft er years of trailing behind. Families in all income groups have seen increases of about 10% or more in their take-home pay since 2006.
What’s more, we have made notable progress in the fi ght against poverty. Since the previous Liberal government, there are 1.4 mil-lion fewer Canadians living in poverty including 225,000 fewer children. Th e number of Canadians living below the low income cut-off is at its lowest level in history, and Canada currently has one of the lowest poverty rates among seniors in the world.
If Canadians want to know about the Liberal's high tax plan, they should listen to what Toronto area Liberal MP, Chrystia Free-land says about raising taxes. Aft er all, she was recruited by Justin Trudeau to run for the Liberals because of her economic views.
She supports a job-killing carbon tax. On Hardball with Chris Matthews she said, “amen to raising taxes” (MSNBC, April 18, 2011).
In 2008, facing the greatest period of global economic insta-bility in a generation, our Conservative Government responded by fostering the best job creation record in the G7. Since the depth of the global recession, 1.2 million net new jobs have been created. Th ese are overwhelmingly full-time, private sector jobs in high-wage industries.
While Toronto Liberal MPs like Chrystia Freeland plot to raise your taxes for their big government schemes, our Government will continue to focus on creating jobs, growth and economic prosper-ity for the people of British Columbia.,
Mark Strahl, MP
Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon
Bill C-51 prescribes to a reckless and dangerous policyWe should all be concerned and take actions
against the government’s secret police Bill C-51. It is reckless, dangerous, and ineff ective.
It is reckless because it turns CSIS into a ‘secret police’ force with little oversight or accountability.
It is dangerous because it opens the door for violations of our Charter Rights freedoms, in-cluding censorship of free expression online. It is ineff ective because it will lead to dragnet surveillance and information sharing on in-nocent Canadians that even Stephen Harper has admitted to be ineff ective. To make matters worse the government is trying to push this law through parliament in record time.
Before Canadians knew what was in Bill C-51, 17% opposed it. Th ree weeks later, they
found out, and now 50% oppose it. Th e more Canadians learn about what’s in
this bill, the less they like it. If this bill passes, your sensitive private infor-
mation would be shared between no fewer than 17 government agencies and even handed to foreign governments; including sensitive type of information.
Th is type of information can reveal every-thing from your fi nancial status, to your medi-cal history, your sexual orientation and even your religious and political beliefs. Victims of these privacy breaches wouldn’t even be in-formed. Th is means the government could spy on anyone, at anytime, and we wouldn’t even know when we’ve been a victim.
Do we really want the government to
create a shadowy and unaccountable se-cret police force that will trample on in-nocent citizens’ freedoms?
Th ese new spying powers are highly unpopular: 71% of Canadians don’t want to trade their privacy rights to give spy agencies more power.
Over 110,000 people have already spoken out.
The government has admitted Bill C-51 is fundamentally flawed, so they must withdraw the legislation, go back to the drawing board and start over.

ESL profitable for B.C.Language instruction in B.C., or Eng-
lish as a Second Language (ESL) schools for international students, is directly responsible for one bil-lion dollars in economic activity every year.
It is the province’s fourth largest export industry and employs 24,000 British Columbians.
Add in the economic activity that international students generate when they eat in B.C. restaurants, travel all over the province, and the “Home Stay” income received by thousands of B.C. families.
That figure balloons to more than three billion dollars in eco-nomic activity for B.C.
For thousands of homestay par-ents, the homestay income helps to pay mortgages and put food on the table, and the relationships that grow from homestays make our world a little smaller.
Th ousands of students who visit B.C. to learn English and then go back to their home countries are walking, talking advertisements that entice others to visit our province – eff ec-tively mini ambassadors we send all over the world!
It is important that all of us in B.C., from the provincial government to Mayor Gregor Robertson, and all of us as citizens, support the “Interna-tional ESL Tourism” industry as it benefi ts our economy.
It also serves to encourage bright young people from all over the world to consider coming to B.C. to lend a hand.
A resource we will come to cherish as our baby boomers retire, and we need an extra hand, and some extra man-woman power to man the helm in years to come!

Controversial findings could outweigh conventional medicineNews
An undiagnosed epidemic of Lyme disease in North America is presenting itself in the form of other illnesses and is correlative to the onset of Lyme disease, based on results of Murakami’s work.
Current environmental conditions are providing a healthy breeding ground for the ticks, who do not traditionally survive in sub-zero tem-peratures.
An influx of warm weather during winter months is allowing the pests to flourish and go undetected by their hosts.
This has been denied by the proper authorities as stated by Murakami and may also be linked to dwindling moose populations.
“I once had a patient who suffered from severe depression — the medi-cal community said she was a mental case, but I insisted on doing the tests and we found that her symptoms were the result of Lyme disease (which is contracted through the implantation of a tick),” he said.
“The leading cause of death in Lyme disease is suicide — the depres-sion is that bad.”
Conservative in his approach toward marijuana, Murakami was dead against the use of pot smoking, but became interested in the benefits of cannabidiol paste, as it didn’t possess the psychotic effects traditionally induced by marijuana usage.
When he discovered he had a brain tumor, Murakami used the paste to treat it, after researching a case where cannabidiol dissolved a Glioma tumor. This resulted in its disappearance.
“I thought this was an impossibility, until I saw the MRI reports show-ing the absolute resolution of the tumor in four months,” he said.
Other anecdotal cases of cannabidiol treating chronic infections, which have been resistant to standard antibiotics have been cited in his prelimi-nary research; suggesting, the possibility that cannabidiol has an antibi-otic effect.
Research, which is in its initial stages and involves testing cannabidiol on live spirochetes (infectious bacteria,) has stood up to preliminary tri-als and provided solid evidence in favour of the continuation with further testing protocol.
“I made them better and I was condemned for it,” said Murakami of the reception of his work by the medical profession and by UBC, where he was a teacher for five years.
Dr. Ernie Murakami presents his findings to a group at the Fraser Canyon Hospital in Hope B.C. on Thursday, April 16th. His extensive research suggests a correlation between diabetes and Lyme disease. The well-known doctor is promoting the heal-ing properties indicated by preliminary testing a new paste called cannabidiol.
Steve O’Brien recently embarked on an incred-ible journey that defi es human restrictions and presses fourth to accom-plish a groundbreaking feat, in the spirit of leg-ends such as Terry Fox — who have bravely gone before him.
O’Brien stopped in
Hope during his Cross Canada Tour from the West Coast to the East Coast, in dedication of and to raise funds for chil-dren across Canada.
His unique vision of cross-ing the country in a style that was compli-mentary, but differentiated him from idol Terry Fox was part of the mes-sage he gave to Th e Hope Standard. “Our vision is to en-able youth to complete their
education; our mission is to provide the tools required to help youth achieve their educational goals and our motto is to reach for the sky,” O’Brien said of his foundation’s promise. Th e enthusiastic ex-olympian and French Canadian started the Steve O’Brien Founda-tion in honour of the ed-ucational pursuits of chil-dren across Canada. He
discussed the secret be-hind his interesting relay style of cycling, running, walking, rollerblading, longboarding, wheelchair cycling and even using a scooter to go the distance.
“I asked kids around the country how I should complete my journey, and aside from a pogo stick and a jump rope, I pretty much used them all,” said O’Brien. Th e relay style journey is all about the kids — he orig-inally set up the founda-tion to help school drop out rates and facilitate the
continued and successful trajectory of school kids across Canada to achieve higher learning.
Passing the baton from school-to-school and en-gaging kids during his trip, is all about making them part of the success of his tour.
“It’s about the kids — they get to pass the relay baton and com-plete the journey with me,” he said. It’s about keeping them in school, keeping them motivat-ed and telling them to never, ever, give up.

Without a trace, the truth about FidoOpinion
Lori WelbourneSubmitted
Anyone who reads my column ev-ery week is aware that our dog Char-lie went missing a month ago. What people might not realize is that more than a few dogs in West Kelowna have vanished, and they’ve all been small to medium sized purebreds or purebred mixes.
Aft er viewing the six pets on the handouts circulated by the other owners and I, many people thought there was a criminal dog-ring in town, while others attributed the sudden disappearances to wildlife
attacks. We fully admit that we don’t know what happened to ours.
What we do know, however, is that there has been no evidence that would confi rm the latter, and we’ve all looked high and low for it.
We’ve also learned that dog fl ip-ping – the business of stealing dogs and selling them – is happening all over, including right here in the Okanagan.
Before Charlie went missing, the idea of my pets being nabbed had never crossed my mind. Wildlife and traffi c were my big concerns when it came to their safety; never
did I consider they might be dog-napped. But aft er talking to almost every owner who’s lost a dog in the Okanagan recently and fi nding out just how many people suspect their pet was stolen, or know that they were, I started to investigate.
One of the missing West Kelowna dogs from our hand-outs is Shylo, a Chihuahua Po-meranian, whose owners live in Glenrosa, like I do. Th ree days before his mysterious disap-pearance an unknown middle-aged woman with short red hair
had approached Shylo on their porch where he was sitting in the sun. She was holding a bowl of water and quickly fl ed when she discovered he was not alone. His family can’t help but wonder if she is the reason he vanished.
“It there’d been coy-otes or any animals, Shylo would have been barking like mad and jumping up at the door,” her owner, Cha-kara, said. “And there would have been pee, poop, blood or fur left behind.” But aft er look-ing all over their area and fi nd-ing nothing, they started their search with posting ads, then going door to door and putting up fl yers – which would end up getting torn down like many of ours were. Eight months later they still have no idea what happened to him.
Other cases have been more obvious, with people actually seeing their pets being stolen, paying a reward to get them back, or tracking them down at drug dealers’ houses to res-cue them. Sometimes dog theft happens for ransom, but there are several other reasons as well. Selling to people wanting to pay less for certain breeds who don’t care about the right paperwork or adequate back-ground checks is a common one. Not having a clue what happened to our pets makes things more diffi cult because
the search for a lost dog is very dif-ferent from a stolen one. But thieves prefer we don’t know, which is why they’ll leave the gate of a fenced yard open so we think the pooch has merely gotten loose, or why they’ll lurk around waiting for opportuni-ties to snatch a dog by itself.
Th is past Sunday, some of the other owners and I participated in a large search party along with many supportive friends and strangers to look for our pets and inform the public about lost and stolen dogs. We wanted to encourage them to take notice of unfamiliar people and suspicious behaviour in their neigh-borhoods and to report anything questionable.
We also urged them to keep their own pets safe by keeping them leashed, not leaving them unat-tended in front of a store or in an unlocked house, not leaving them alone in a car if possible, and install-ing locks on fenced yards.
Bobbie, one of the dogs on our fl yers, gave us all hope when she arrived home the day before our search party. Aft er surviving 14 days
on the lam, the short-legged little Dachshund came home on her own, skinnier and smelling like a horse among other things.
Farms are an ideal spot for a frightened lost dog to hide out, but so are many typical backyards. Please check your property to see if you’ve got an animal fugitive like Bobbie in your midst, and if you do, don’t chase or scare them away. If they’re skittish, take a picture and call dog control or the pet’s owner as soon as possible.
And that same advice extends to anyone trying to help an elusive dog seen alone in public. Lying down and encouraging them to come to you works far better than standing tall or even crouching.
And if you haven’t done it already, register, microchip and GPS your pets if you can. Th e cost is minimal compared to the heartache and fi -nancial expenditures we’ve all en-dured. None of us would wish this experience on anyone.

$3.4 million highway project for Hope
NewsHighway 1 users will welcome
a $3.4 million repaving project between Bridal Veil Falls and Hope. Th e project is designed to improve the safety conditions along a 37.5 kilometre stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway.
Included in the ambitious project is the removal of rough
sections of pavement, as well as increasing the asphalt strength which will provide a more sta-ble highway for today’s high volumes of commercial traffic and heavier loads along B.C.’s most important and travelled transportation corridor.
“Highway 1 is a vital con-
duit that connects communi-ties throughout my riding,”said Chilliwack-Hope MLALaurie Throness.
“This multi-million dollarinvestment acknowledges theimportance of keeping High-way 1 in top condition.”
The project was con-tracted by Emil An-derson Maintenance ofRosedale and will com-mence in late-Aprilwith a completion datein mid-July.
The rehabilitationof provincial highways,bridges and side roadsis a priority of B.C. onthe Move, a 10-yeartransportation planthat outlines criticalinvestments and im-provements through-out the province thatwill vastly improve thedaily lives of BritishColumbians.
Eager profit-masters
Coquihalla Elemen-tary will be presenting its third annual Young Entrepreneur Show.
Grade four students have been working hard all year on the principles of selling a product, as they brave-ly venture forth in the arena of capitalistic pursuits.
The eager young entrepreneurs have learned about the art of borrowing money, making something on a budget, planning for making something, making a quantity of something and think-ing about fair pricing in conjunction with current and trending market demands.
Market savvy nine and ten year olds will be bartering and sell-ing their unique wares at the Coquihalla El-ementary School in the gymnasium on Thursday, April 23rd between 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.
Of the notable and in-demand products being sold — stress balls, duct-tape wal-lets, lip balm, note books, pencil holders, wooden crafts and tiny mirrors are among the prized items up for grab to the highest and most worthy bidder.
With over 50 ven-dors, there will be plenty of value for the local consumer, so come on down and show your support for the business profiteers of the future.

Singer, songwriter and guitarist Mat Duff us is slated to perform live at Hope Legion 228 on Sat-urday, May 2nd from 7 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Th e prolifi c talent de-livers top ten music of all types in a zany and inter-active-audience style set-ting, along with a magic show, comedy and exten-sive involvement from all in attendance.
Mat provides a unique experience, which fea-tures popular music from a multitude of decades, including the 1940’s on-ward. Expect to hear some classics and some originals at all desired sound volume levels.
“We have performed a number of times at the Osoyoos, Oliver, Pent-icton, Princeton and Peachland Legions —and I liken my performance to that of a rubber chick-en,” Mat told Th e Hope Standard.
Aft er being inspired by his dad at an early age and a cool stereo system, Matt picked up a guitar, started strumming and never looked back.
“I like to get people involved, I like to engage the crowd and let them borrow my guitar,” he said.

‘Transformation’ discoversnew mediums of clay
Arts&Life
Erin KnutsonHope Standard
‘Transformation’ is the title of the upcoming exhibition to be featured in the Back Room of Hope Arts Gallery. Local artist Jenny Wolpert will be displaying her unique paint-ing, photography and pottery.
Wolpert’s work explores the wild-world of nature with an emphasis on birds — the impetus for her sub-stantive body of new and accom-plished pieces.
“In paintings, I transform nature encounters from three dimension to two and in that translation of states, the artwork is imbued with my won-der in each experience,” said Wolp-ert. “Pottery that’s another story.”
Wolpert describes pottery as a transformation which occurs in the artist, paralleling the reformation of the clay.
“It is the artist that is transformed as much as the wet, sticky, malleable clay when it becomes a useful vessel or decorative form,” she said.
“I am attracted to clay spinning
on the wheel as much as children love mud puddles, and I often re-turn home from the Art Machine Studio looking like I have found my own puddle.”
Utilizing clay mediums which in-clude both wheel thrown and hand built vessels, a number of her pieces are embellished with a stylistic and signature pine needle weaving.
Using a multitude of mediums, Wolpert has created a brave new world in a remarkable series of digi-tal collages and new vignettes.
“Disparate elements carrying their own aesthetics and history join to illustrate a moment in time, place and imagination,” according to a press release statement.
Transformation will be show-ing from May 1st to May 28th at the Hope Arts Gallery on 348 Fort Street.
All interested parties are invited to attend the opening reception on Saturday, May 2nd from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Refreshments will be served throughout the engagement.

Understanding self-harm — “why is my child doing this?”Community
Dr. David SmithSubmitted
"Why would my daughter do this?" Th at is what bewildered parents plead to me and other mental health professionals in BC too oft en these days. Th e youth — oft en but not al-ways— is a female between ages 10 and 19 who is being treated for one of a variety of forms of self harm. Self-harm exists along a spectrum anywhere from self-injuries such as cutting herself with a sharp object, repeatedly hitting herself, or burning herself, or sometimes even poison-ing herself with medications or nox-ious substances.
In the last fi ve years, children and youth rates for hospitalization and ER visits for self-harm have soared. Th is past November a special Cana-dian study on self-harm found that since 2009 self-harm hospitalization
rates for girls have increased by more than 110 per cent and ER visits by 98 per cent. While hospitalization rates for self harm were four times more common among girls, rates among boys had also increased substantially in the study.
What is going on?While good research about self
harm is just emerging, my mental health colleagues and I believe some reasons may be worth further inves-tigation : feelings of disconnection among youth from loved ones and from themselves; youth feeling in-signifi cant and unworthy; the domi-nant 24/7 online culture that magni-fi es bullying and social pressure and ramps up stress; and the normaliza-tion of self harm that youth fi nd via the Internet. As well, self-harm, rath-er than being hidden or dismissed as in the past, is now being more rec-
ognized.At the heart of most self harm is
usually psychological pain and a dis-ordered way of coping with unbear-able feelings or an inability to regulate emotional responses under stressful situations (somewhat similar to vari-ous addictions or eating disorders). Youth will oft en tell me that only way to relieve their emotional pain is by hurting themselves. Sometimes it is the lack of feeling that compels them to self harm. Youth will say they feel empty, numb, as if they don't exist: "Feeling the pain feels better than feeling nothing at all." For others, it gives a sense of control , that rather than being the victim of others in-fl icting pain on them, they are the ones controlling their own pain.
While self-harm occurs among BC youth from all sectors of society, it is more common among youth who are
socially or economically disad-vantaged; who have past trau-ma, neglect or abuse; who have other diagnosed mental health conditions or other illnesses; and who have uncertainty about their sexual orientation or who have recently come out in the youth LGBQT community.
While self-injury such as cutting and burning is usually distinct from direct suicidal behaviour, youth who self-harm in these ways are many times more likely than the general population to eventually complete suicide. So it is very important that the youth gets eff ective help.
I am particularly concerned that self harm in the form of ingest-ing poison — taking high doses of over -the- counter medication, prescription medication or ingest-ing a noxious substance —oft en represents a true suicide attempt in youth. Parents and health pro-fessionals must take poisoning actions very seriously and ensure the youth gets appropriate, urgent help through emergency services.
In non-urgent self-harm situations, the fi rst step is to see your family doc-tor or contact the Child and Youth Mental Health program provided by the Ministry of Children and Fam-ily Development in your region. Call Service BC at 1-800-661-8773 for the MCFD offi ce nearest to you.
Good information and support can be found through links at the Canadian Mental Health Association (cmha.ca ), the Kelty Mental Health
Resource Centre (keltyresources.ca)and heretohelp.bc.ca. As well , an ex-cellent resource is the website for theNational Interdisciplinary Networkon Self-Harm , led by Dr. Mary KayNixon, a Child & Adolescent Psychi-atrist in Victoria (insync-group.ca).
Treatment focuses on addressingthe underlying issues that are caus-ing the pain and teaching the youthmore eff ective coping skills and stressreduction techniques. Cognitive be-havioural therapy, group therapy,and dialectic behavioural therapy canbe very helpful for these skills. Medi-cations may be given if co-existingdepression, anxiety or psychosis arepart of the underlying issues. Adults— parents, relatives, teachers, coach-es, mentors— have a very importantrole in helping to support the youthto increase the youth's feelings ofconnection. Teaching youth healthyways to express feelings of pain andanger, and new ways to cope withlife's stresses can also help youth leaveself harm behind.
Dr. David Smith is a specialistin adolescent and adult psychia-trist and the medical director ofthe Okanagan Psychiatric servicesfor Interior Health.

5-2-1-0 inspires Play Boxes
Community
Erin KnutsonHope Standard
Th e B.C. Lions will be in attendance at the 5-2-1-0 Commu-nity Play Boxes event, which will be held at Memorial Park on Sat-urday, May 2nd from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Th e health- con-scious game playing sessions, hosted in partnership with the Fraser Valley Regional District Recreation, Culture and Airpark Services and Fraser Health Authority are premiering in Hope as a fi rst of its kind.
“It’s about collec-tively taking respon-sibility for the health and welfare of our community,” said Mil-ly Marshall, manager of Recreation, Culture and Airpark Services.
According to Mar-shall, there is not enough fundamental physical development instruction happening at the early level, result-ing in the inability of
local children to devel-op necessary skills for healthy living.
Hope and its sur-rounding areas are re-ported to be the second lowest in the province in terms of physical well-being and devel-opmental scores (EDI).
“It’s very important to get the message out,” she said.
Locations for the Play Boxes are slated at Memorial Park and the 6th Avenue ball fi eld. Th e inception of 5-2-1-0, originated with a need to bring physical activity to children and to help educate, while promoting the neces-sity of healthy change.
Play Boxes are to be set up at the specifi ed points and will house play equipment at zero cost to help inspire children to engage in physical activities, while sticking to the 5-2-1-0 motto.
Th e motto promotes the daily consumption of 5 fruits or vegetables,
no more than 2 hours of screen time, 1 hour of activity and the use of 0 sweetened bever-ages per day.
“It’s about making the healthy choice — the preferred choice,” said Marshall.
Parents and mem-bers of the commu-nity are encouraged to access the boxes and jump in whole-heart-edly with their children for some much needed play time.
Th is could be a com-bination of soccer, rope-jumping, hula hooping, basketball or the time honored tradi-tion of football.
Draw prizes will be available, along with information and reg-istration booths from homegrown communi-ty sports organizations.
Th ere will be no shortage of games, ac-tivities and action-ad-venture for thrill-seek-ing families of all ages.
Th e people of the Yale School Communi-
ty Centre and the Alm-er Carlson Pool in Bos-ton Bar will have access to a Play Box and are encouraged to come on down and get into the game with their peers in Hope.
Th e Recreation Cen-tre will also be hosting Move for Health Day, on Wednesday, May 6th.
Members of the community are invited for free entry to the facility, a children’s ob-stacle course, a Tai Chi demonstration for the morning Aquafi t pa-trons, senior health and living information, as well as 20 per cent off of facility passes.
Th e day will also commence with the arrival of the much anticipated Plyometric space and its brand new TRX program.
For more informa-tion please contact Mandy Arbuckle at [email protected], or 604-869-2304 at the Recreation Centre.

An oldie but a goodie for the good old hockey gameSports
Barry StewartHope Standard
At 37 years of age, former Hope Minor Hock-ey player Jeff Hoggan is the oldest skater in the American Hockey League. When you’re lucky and healthy enough to stay in the game for that length of time, people around the league have taken pretty good stock of your contribution to the game.
Hoggan seems to have made a positive im-pression, as a majority of players, coaches and media have nominated him as the recipient of this year’s Fred T. Hunt award. He demonstrat-ed the “AHL player who best exemplifies the qualities of sportsmanship, determination and dedication to hockey.”
The award was started in 1978, honouring Hunt, who was an AHL player and manager, working mainly with the AHL Buffalo Bisons and the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres. Past recipients included the current Anaheim Ducks coach, Bruce Boudreau (1988) and long-time NHL players Randy Cunnyworth (2000) and Mike Keane (2007), who spent some of their careers in the AHL.
“It’s great to see the other guys on the award,” said Hoggan via telephone last Thursday. “Just to be associated with them is pretty cool.
“Mark Cullen, my room-mate for my first two years of pro is on there, Jordan Sigalet, a fellow BC boy and teammate in Providence, Rhode Island — and Nathan Dempsey, a team-mate on the Boston Bruins.”
Hoggan has NHL experience on his résumé as well, with 107 games for the St. Louis Blues, Boston Bruins and Phoenix Coyotes, where he was coached by some guy named Wayne Gretzky. He is in his third year as captain of the Grand Rapids Griffins, the farm team of the Detroit Red Wings.
Hoggan skated in all 76 league games for the Griffins this season, recording 14 goals, 17 as-sists, and only 39 penalty minutes.
“Hoggan has reached double digits in goals in eight of his nine full AHL seasons while surpassing 60 minutes in penalties just twice,” said the league’s press release. “The 37-year-old native of Hope, B.C., is renowned for his work ethic, competitiveness and preparation, as well as for the culture he has helped to develop and the leadership he has provided in the Griffins’ locker room, mentoring more than a dozen players who have since graduated to the Detroit Red Wings.”
Coach of the Griffins, Jeff Blashill said, “Jeff has done a great job creating a champi-onship culture in our locker room. As captain, his example of extreme daily work ethic and approach has both allowed the Griffin organization to have success and helped ac-celerate the development of the many young players now playing and making an impact for the Detroit Red Wings.”
“Nobody would have imagined that I’d be going this long in the game,” said Hoggan, a former Hope Standard paper carrier. “I try and help the young guys move on.”
Did he know the award was coming?“No, not at all,” he said. “I wasn’t at home, so I didn’t get the coach’s voice mail until later. I was getting these
text messages from friends, congratulating me and I was wondering why?Hoggan’s parents, Ann and Gerry still live in the family home in Hope. “We were very
pleased to see that Jeff was recognized for his hard work. He works well with others
and has always been a very determined individual,” said Ann“Jeff will be pleased that he is still recognized in his home town. That’s why he
brought the Calder Cup back here a few years ago. Hope is where it began.”The Griffins just finished the regular season, taking the Mid-West title and placing
second in their conference. This puts them up against the seventh-place Toronto Marl-ies in the first round, which starts this weekend. AHL president Dave Andrews, willpresent the Fred T. Hall award to Hoggan before the start of next Wednesday’s homegame, according to Randy Cleves, senior director of public relations for the Griffins.
Awards are fine — but Hoggan also gets a charge out of seeing old Hope friends andformer minor hockey teammates.
“Darwin Ortis travelled from B.C. with his son Ryan on a father-son trip for our lasthome game, which I thought was even cooler,” said Hoggan.
A third Calder Cup would be pretty cool, too.
Hope Minor Hockey product, Jeff Hoggan (#10) celebrates a goal with his Grand Rapids Griffins teammates. Hoggan has been chosen as the recipient of theAHL’s Fred T. Hunt award, which will be presented next week.
