A twelve day Adventure Trek with Earthbound Ex-peditions to celebrate her 50th birthday and that of her sister-in-law Deanna Empey, left Hope resident Shelley Empey amidst the survivors and chaos of the devastating earthquake that hit Nepal on April 25th, which was tragi-cally followed by a second earthquake, rated at 7.3 in magnitude on May 12th.
“We were greeted with a heartfelt namaste from the owner of Earthbound Expe-ditions, Rajan Simkhada — a former guide himself, who has a passion for his country and the people of Nepal,” said Shelley of her arrival to the ancient country.
Simkhada had done a lot of work with schools and or-phanages in Nepal, according to Shelley who recalls him speaking of Nepal as one of the poorest countries in the world, largely in part, due to the lack of stability in govern-
ment over the past decade.Th e former guide was also
adamant about the positive aspects of Nepal, which he also described as a developing nation, rich in many natural resources and in spirit.
“He reminded us with a grin, to keep our expectations low and encouraged us to get out there and explore — aft er all we signed up for an "Ad-venture Trek.”
Th e adventure bound Em-pey sister duo, toured a few UNESCO world heritage sights, including the ancient
city of Bahktapur, built be-tween 1200 A.D. and 1500 A.D., which was destroyed by the ensuing earthquake.
Th e pair raft ed down the Trissuli river and camped over night on the riverbank. Th e Trissuli is comparative to the Th ompson River — it’s a large river with nice fl oating sections and big holes, and rapids sections.
Upon fi nishing a fi ve day trek that started just out-side the city of Pokhara up to Poon Hill, 3210 metres in elevation, where the Em-
pey’s watched the day break over the majestic Annapurna Range, a couple in their group had decided to get married in Pokhara.

Victim services founder, honouredNews
Submitted by Jan BentleyCase Worker and Volunteer
On May 9th, 2015, in front of a standing ova-tion and massive audi-ence at the 30th Anni-versary Police Victim Services Conference in Burnaby, B.C., Mari-anne Brueckert-Preston received the 2015 Police Victim Services of B.C. — 2015 Awards of Ex-cellence Program Staff “Leadership Award.”
Hope has a distinct record of two employees from the Hope/Boston Bar RCMP Victim Ser-vice Program receiving this award, one in 2010 and 2015.
An excerpt of the rec-ommendation for this prestigious and distin-guished award follows:
Police Victim Ser-vices of BC - 2015 Awards of Excellence – Program Staff “Leader-ship Award” - Marianne Brueckert-Preston.
Th ere are countless reasons as to why I have chosen to nominate this person for this award, but there is really only one that counts — it is simply many years over-due. Victim services is an integral component of the range of policing services and a valuable resource to the criminal justice component — so
is the driving force sup-porting victim services, the program that places staff along side the vol-unteers. In this case it is my program manager Marianne Brueckert-Preston.
Marianne started with the Hope /Boston Bar RCMP Victim Ser-vice Program on Janu-ary 29th, 1992. Yes, that is an impressive 23 years of dedication.
When Marianne fi rst came to Hope she hit the ground running. She had the responsi-bility of starting up our program, while creat-ing and delivering a professional service that eventually established an exemplary reputa-tion within our police station, including other professionals in the jus-tice community.
In 1992, aft er intro-ducing a somewhat unproven entity, there were many new and un-expected growing pains working along side the police. We need to re-member — this was re-ally new to our town.
Marianne weathered this transition, laying the groundwork with such a high standard of work ethics, profession-alism and integrity, that today we are an integral part working along side our police counterparts.
Th ere have been many struggles over the years to ensure that po-lice victim services sur-
vived the ever-changing status due to the politi-cal climate. Marianne led us (four solid vol-unteers) by adapting as needed, with minimal fi nancial resources and with a huge heart.
Marianne has been an original in terms of putting herself forward for the care of our cli-ents, victims and sur-vivors. She consistently ensures that in their time of need, every de-gree of aide is provided to ease their suff ering. Marianne has deliv-ered consistently with an overabundance of patience, caring, and is an incredible compas-sionate listener with the ability to address the most important imme-diate needs of a victim or survivor.
Th e two things of note that drive Mari-anne is to ensure there is access to victim ser-vices programs for all victims and survivors and that the cracks these people may fall through are fi lled. She has established herself as a competent and admired professional by all those who have worked with her.
In point, when we were looking at the very real scenario of los-ing our positions to be outsourced, the Crown Counsel and other community partners were rallying to put letters together in sup-
port of our continued employment. Th is is a true testament to the degree of confi dence other professionals have regarding our program.
To say that made our day is truly an under-statement.
Quite simply Mari-anne has been a mentor to me over the years, of-fering both support and encouragement in both my professional and personal life.
Other Information about Applicant: Con-sistently, Marianne has been a solid contribu-tor to, but does not end with the following: the Upper Fraser Val-ley Training commit-tee; the Police Victim Services Symposium Committee, the Vio-lence Against Women In Relationships, High Risk Domestic Vio-lence Protocols, Purple Lights Campaign and too many various other groups, committees and initiatives through the years to list.
Her passion “of right” is what continues to drive her to sustain par-ticipation in all of the above. Over the years Marianne has received heartfelt appreciation from people who were assisted through very diffi cult times. I do want to share with you a personal thank you from a family and a recent testimony from one of our members re-
garding Marianne. Marianne, I wish I
could put into wordsmy tremendous grati-tude for your supportand kind works, as weworked through thecourt process. I am pos-itive that I would nothave been able to holdmyself together duringpre-lim, had it not beenfor your friendly facein the court room andyour words of encour-agement both beforeand aft erward.
I don’t know how itis that you do what youdo, but I do know thatyou are excellent at yourjob, and I can’t tell youenough how much Jand I appreciate all thatyou’ve done.
Th ank you justdoesn’t seem to beenough but thank you,thank you, thank you.Someone “upstairs”sure was looking outfor me when they sentme your way. You trulymade all the diff erence.

Celiac’s disease is a clinical condition where gluten (a protein found in wheat and other grains) damages the surface of the intestinal walls so it can’t absorb nutrients from food. Symptoms include diarrhea, bloating, weight loss, fatigue, cramps and irritability. Eliminating all foods containing gluten proteins will relieve symptoms if the problem is truly celiac’s disease.
There has been an increase in gluten-intolerance during the past few years and more people seem to be adopting a gluten-free diet to reduce the symptoms mentioned
above. However, these symptoms can be caused by other medical problems. Check with your doctor to determine the real cause of the problems.
During the past ve years, the number of teens using tanning parlours has dropped signi cantly. Perhaps it’s due to fact that the World Health Organization in 2009 openly declared that tanning devices caused cancer. As well, several well-designed studies have shown that indoor tanning increases the risk of skin cancer.
The idea of a poly-pill has been
around for about a decade. It’s a
pill that combines 3-6 drugs into
one pill. It contains an cholesterol-
lowering drug, ASA, one or two
blood pressure-lowering drugs. It’s
designed to reduce the risk of heart
attacks and second heart attacks.
This idea is not a reality yet. There
are a number of research studies
being done around the world but
no polypill is forthcoming.
We have access to the latest
in drug research from around
the world. When a new drug
becomes available, you can be
sure we will know all about it.

News
Two members of Hope Search and Rescue re-cently completed their Swift water Level 2 course — Arnold McEwen and Larry Stephens, carefully navigated the mid-level course and demonstrated the skills necessary for a solid completion.
Also, known as the Swift water Safety Res-cue Technician Level 2 course, it’s specifi cally designed for those that are required to be next to the water’s edge and in a low-medium risk river environment.
Evaluation for the suc-cessful completion of this course involves an assess-ment on personal risk, self-rescue and teammate rescue, allowing the par-ticipants to eff ectively and effi ciently operate in the “warm zone.” Fol-lowing the success of the Level 2 completion’s, an-other three members of the Rescue completed their Tracking Awareness course (TAC.)
Shanon Fischer, Mar-garet Gauthier and Jon Utz, stepped it up a notch and valiantly completed the tasks inherent in a curriculum targeted at SAR members and law enforcement personnel with little, or no prior tracking experience.
TAC, consists of three days of classroom and fi eld demonstration, which allows stu-
dents to gain an overview and awareness about what trackers can do.
“It demonstrates how well-intentioned personnel can inadvertently destroy, dam-age and completely erase valuable clues and evidence at the scene,” according to a press release statement.
Special emphasis is given on the proper etiquette when approaching crime scenes and the preservation of track evidence. For more information about these events and for more information please contact SAR Manager, Mario Levesque at 604-869-7214, or [email protected].
Members of Hope Search and Rescue recently completed their certification in the Swiftwater Level 2 and Tracking Awareness (TAC) courses. Arnold McEwen and Larry Stephens, successfully finished the Level 2, while Shanon Fisher, Margaret Gauthier and Jon Utz completed TAC.

Brueckert acknowledged by peers Th roughout the investigation Marianne was a pleasure to work
with as she guided the victim and her family through the process. Marianne also initiated the ICAT protocol for high-risk domestic fi les and brought together all stakeholders to ensure they knew their roles and responsibilities.
Th e victim and witnesses in this matter live a high-risk life style and were not easy to deal with. Marianne was persistent in her eff orts to ensure the
victim and family were safe and ready for court. At the courthouse, she stayed with the family throughout the
day and was left with a 12 year old witness when the victim and adult witnesses decided to leave and go for a smoke and/or walk.
I was impressed with Marianne and was grateful for her pro-active approach to this matter. Without her I do not believe we would have had the successful outcome.

Etchings of NepalNews
Th e only reply Shelley could think of was to stand in the doorway. Aft er grabbing the bags, which contained their passports, money, and identifi cation the two re-mained steadfast in their resolve to stay fi rmly rooted.
“We stood in the doorway to the hallway. Th e build-ing was shaking so badly — we wanted to make a dash for the stairway but the tremors grew in intensity,” she said. “It was the same feeling I've experienced when the airplane shakes so violently, just as it reaches enough ground speed to lift off .”
Th e squeaking was so loud, it sounded as though the rebar was shaking, Shelley stated of the terrible sound.
“Finally, aft er what felt like an eternity the tremors quit, and we ran out of the hotel. Everyone was milling about, excitedly telling their stories. Th e bride-to-be was outside clad in a towel.” Shelley recalls a lady who said she was on a massage table when the tremors be-gan and the therapist ran out leaving her on the table.
Th e excited buzz, quickly turned somber, once the guides from the trek learned of the devastation to their home villages. “Th ey were amazingly strong and stoic.”
A collection of cash was gathered to leave with them, as they headed back to Kathmandu the next morning by bus. “It was diffi cult to hold back emotions, but the constant aft ershocks kept everyone in a ready state — Deanna and I had all of our gear packed and ready to go at the hotel room door and we slept in our clothes.”
Th e Canadian sisters carried a small survival pack, which contained passports, money, rain gear, a water fi lter pump, a cell phone with charger and food bars with them. Th ey made a pact with their group that if buildings were to collapse in Pokhara, they would all meet at a location called Centre Point, where there was an unmistakeable large tree to pool resources and ac-count for one another.
“Wi Fi was intermittent at the best of times and once the earthquake hit, it was even more intermittent.
ATM's went down and storekeepers were closing down their shops in fear that the biggest tremor was yet to come,” remembers Shelley.
According to the Hopite, Nepalese people were very scared.
“I could see hands folded in prayer formation, and lips moving as they prayed silently throughout the strong aft ershocks. Some hotel keepers had their guests sleep outside under tarps in the green spaces and many people slept out on the beach,” she said.
Th ere was a miscommunication as to whether a shopkeeper would accept a credit card initially, aft er Shelley decided to buy a phone — so when it came time to pay, she was informed they didn't take them.
“I didn't want to use up my cash, so I tried another ATM, to no avail. Th e shopkeeper was so kind. He insisted I take the phone anyway and told me that we were foreigners, but he trusted us, and said I could pay him the next day, explaining that in this world, one must trust. I thanked him repeatedly. He was scared, but, in true Buddhist fashion, he was was ready to ac-cept fate, whatever it was.”
Shelley and Deanna registered with the Canadian Embassy once the earthquake hit and had sent texts, emails and used Facebook to get word back home that they were okay and were in Pokhara, not Kathmandu.
A return fl ight was scheduled for May 5th, but in light of the situation, they decided it best to leave as soon as they could get a fl ight change. Th e travel agen-cies were not able to get through to the airlines and ini-tial costs to change fl ights were estimated to be $2000 per person. Domestic fl ights were not leaving Pokhara and the pair had been informed that fl ights from Kath-mandu were also delayed with line ups building and people camping out in tents at the airport.
“So we decided to make the best of our remaining time in Nepal, staying in Pokhara, until we could get our fl ight changed — we both felt very emotional at times, thinking about the guides and porters, who had become our friends, who had lost everything except the pack on their backs,” she said. “Our guide, 27 year old Pravin Pabi, a bright young man who had his MBA in tourism and marketing, explained that his home was gone. He didn't know where he was going to sleep when he got back to Kathmandu.”
Pravin, however, was able to contact his family and knew they were okay. Th e pair wondered how they could help. Deanna suggested they make their way to a small village to help out.
“Th e transportation logistics, language barrier and questionable stability of the region played a big role in our decision to stay put. We happened to come upon a Nepalese community group of guys, whom we realized we're setting up to ration food for earthquake victims, so we asked if we could help and they welcomed us, putting us to work assembling and loading sacks of rice, lentils, oil, blankets, drink crystals and water for a 100 families onto trucks, to be transported to Kath-mandu.” Although it seemed like a small gesture, it was huge, and the recipients were thankful, smiling and snapping photos, according to Shelley. Th e group then happily announced that in one day, they had collected $4700 in donations.
“Th at evening, we attended a touching candlelight vigil for Nepal, where donations were also collected,” she said. “When we returned to our hotel for the night, we received correspondence from a travel agent in Canada, who could possibly get us on a fl ight the next day, from Kathmandu, if we could get there from Pokhara.” With the 12 hour time diff erence, the inno-vative pair had to set their alarms to wake at 2:30 a.m. to confi rm details. Aft er securing travel plans home, the pair departed. “We saw bus loads of Nepalese people being evacuated from the earthquake zone,” re-members Shelley of the journey out. “Th ere were rows of tarps set up over bamboo poles to shelter many peo-ple — it was a very heart wrenching sight, especially as strong winds and heavy rains were building.”
Nepal is the birthplace of Buddha. Th e people are warm, peaceful and happy, and they have so little, right down to the fl ip fl ops the porters wear on their feet. For info or to help out our friends in Nepal, please contact Shelley at 604-869-9869, or donate on line to http://www.gofundme.com/tvdha8.
Shelley returned safely to Hope and Deanna to In-vermere. She told the Standard that she is happy to be home, but still dreams of Nepal every single night.

2013CCNABLUE
RIBBON
Albertans have always laughed about their long-standing reputation as a reckless, imma-ture society.
Th e classic bumper sticker, now available as a T-shirt or coff ee cup in several varia-tions, states: “Please God, give us one more oil boom, we promise not to p--- it away this time.” Now they’ve thrown out the govern-ment that fi nally tried to stop blowing money like a roughneck fresh out of the bush.
Jim Prentice had the gall to propose rais-ing income taxes for high wage earners, doing away with former Alberta treasurer Stockwell Day’s signature fl at tax. In response, voters have abruptly replaced the 44-year Progres-sive Conservative dynasty with an upstart NDP that wants to tax the rich and corpora-
tions even more. Facing an oil slump, layoff s and a huge structural defi cit in Alberta’s lav-ish public service, NDP premier-elect Rachel Notley is committed to a 50-per-cent increase in the minimum wage and another “review” of resource royalties.
One headline in a national paper summed it up: “Go home, Alberta. You’re drunk.”
In the sober days aft er the election, a few truths emerge. Alberta hasn’t been a fi scally conservative, small-government place for a long time. Among other things, it has ratch-eted up teacher and nurse wages across the country. Alberta is broke, again, and even the NDP is afraid to resort to a sales tax.
Th e minimum wage hike is a pet policy of Canada’s labour federations, which somehow remain convinced that poverty can be elimi-nated by state order.
On the positive side, Notley has prom-ised to end corporate and union donations to political parties, as has already been done federally. B.C. should be next, but the gravy
train of business donations is too tempting for our nominally Liberal government. Here at the B.C. legislature, an NDP staff er passed out cans of Orange Crush to celebrate. NDP leader John Horgan pronounced himself “ec-static,” and hastened to assure reporters that Notley is “as competent as she sounds.”
Notley now has to sort through a caucus that includes typical NDP place-holders, col-lege students and union staff running in faint-hope constituencies.
Soon aft er the result, the party pulled down its website platform and candidate biogra-phies, as Notley began phoning energy com-panies to reassure them Alberta will be “A-OK” on her watch.
Horgan likes to describe the “capital fl ight” from new NDP governments as if it’s just a show put on by big business.
Plummeting stock prices and relocation of corporate offi ces are all staged, according to the party line, nothing to do with actual investment conditions created by NDP poli-
cies. Th is fi ction is all Horgan dares to say publicly, because it’s what his party base de-voutly believes.
Besides, they’re only branch offi ces of mul-tinational oil companies like Shell, Horgan said. He used his favourite Tommy Douglas quote, about the bad news of a big oil compa-ny leaving. “Th e good news is, the oil is stay-ing here.” B.C.’s natural gas might be staying here too. Horgan insists he supports a natural gas export industry, but his party seems more concerned with an ascending Green Party, and an urban base that believes you can run a resource economy on windmills and solar panels. Notley supports twinning the Trans-Mountain pipeline, while Horgan continues to insist he has no opinion on the project Adrian Dix so memorably opposed. Th e Al-berta NDP has a steep learning curve ahead. Th e B.C. NDP has a couple of years to see if the appearance of a like-minded Alberta gov-ernment is a boost for them, or a cautionary tale for voters.
Doctors who prescribe medical marijuana to their patients are being di-rected by their regulatory body to follow a new professional standard that may reduce legal access to the drug.
Th e standard approved May 1st by the B.C. College of Physicians and Sur-geons sets out detailed requirements doctors should follow if they authorize a patient to receive pot from a federally licensed commercial producer.
Except in rare cases, it says, patients under age 25 shouldn't get pot at all, nor should those with psychosis or substance abuse disorders, cardiovascular or respiratory illnesses, or those who are pregnant or breast feeding.
Th e new rules, should sway, non-medical pursuits, while protecting poten-tial pot smoking candidates from recreational use in the name of medicine.
Medical marijuana should only be prescribed with the consent of a doctor who has an ongoing "treating relationship" with the patient.
Doctors of B.C. president Dr. Bill Cavers said he hopes that condition weeds out seedy pot authorizations from physicians who specialize in them, sometimes online via Skype.
"I don't think it's appropriate for a person to walk into a clinic for the fi rst time ever and then walk out with a doctor's signature with no follow-up or ongoing therapeutic relationship," he said. "Any physician providing a sig-nature or access to marijuana for medical usage should know their patients."
Th e tightening of policy will promote a medical consciousness in associa-tion with the use of medical marijuana, and hopefully, set the precedent that marijuana usage will only be approved for qualifying conditions, using the strictest of medical sensibilities and guidelines.
Cavers acknowledged approval will be "more diffi cult" for would-be medi-cal pot users who don't have a family doctor, but he said some walk-in clinics do off er ongoing care for patients.
He said he supports the new standard."Th ere need to be guidelines otherwise it's a free-for-all with a substance
that we know has had some deleterious eff ects in some people."Cavers said the federal government has put added responsibility on doctors
by requiring an authorization that amounts to a prescription for pot instead of the old system of merely confi rming a patient had an eligible condition.
He said most B.C. doctors don't want to prescribe pot without much more evidence of its benefi ts and how it can be safely and eff ectively used – as with any other pharmaceutical.

Crusading Victoria paramedic needs our help needs our help
I began a fundraising cam-paign for Lisa Jennings in November of 2014.
At that time we were able to get her through the winter months, thanks to the gen-erosity of many people who donated.
During that period, Lisa also managed to get on EI for six weeks; however, the ben-efits have long since run out!
I find it unbelievable that after another five months have gone by, Lisa is still without the proper financial support to help her through
her PTSD, which gripped her after 24 years on the job.
She had to apply for wel-fare this week and shared with me what a humiliating experience that was!
The ironic part of her go-ing to welfare is that she will be receiving a whopping $610 per month to cover her liv-ing expenses, medical bills, etc. How unrealistic is that!
As many of you will have noticed in the recent articles on Lisa, she has found sol-ace and strength in her pre-dicament by reaching out to
others in her field that are suffering from work-related PTSD and is focussing at a "grass roots" level to bring about change to the legisla-tion.
Her goal is to ensure that no other first responder ever has to go through the indig-nities and tribulations that she has had and continues to suffer and endure.
Please join me in sharing her story on gofundme so that we can generate enough financial support for her (no amount is too small) to "sur-
vive" until the appeal she had to file with Worksafe goes through in July.
After all, it is only the slow moving wheel of bureaucracy that is holding her Worksafe benefits back at this point, because she has certainly met all the criteria.
Her full story is shared on the gofundme website (where you go to donate) as fol-lows: http://www.gofundme.com/gq0k7w

The fairness factorTo teach her students a valuable lesson, a friend of
mine asks them to divide $20. Students get to keep the money only if they can agree on how to share it. Th e only rule is that they are not allowed to split it equally. As a result, most don’t get any money.
Lesson? Fairness is a very powerful and important principle for most people.
As a result of last week’s federal budget, dealing with the Canada Revenue Agency just got fairer.
Lack of fairness is at the heart of many of the com-plaints we hear about tax authorities. For example, it feels unfair to get a letter from the taxman using lan-guage that makes you feel guilty of a crime you didn’t commit. It certainly doesn’t seem fair that the language in many tax bulletins is beyond confusing.
And the ultimate in unfairness is not being able to rely on the government’s own tax compliance advice.
Several years ago, the Canadian Federation of Inde-pendent Business made 145 “secret shopper” calls to the CRA and found that 20 per cent of the time agency staff gave incomplete or incorrect answers to standard questions from small business owners. More recently, it was reported that the CRA’s own study found its agents provided wrong advice even more oft en than 25 per cent of the time. Bad tax advice can be a big problem if you are audited. We know of businesses who have been assessed tens of thousands of dollars for the “mistake” of following bad government advice. Th e stress of these situations cannot be overstated. We dealt with one case where an owner was assessed $93,000 for following ad-vice in a government tax bulletin for her industry. She told us that paying the tax bill would cost her house or her businesses. Th e obvious unfairness of cases like those led CFIB to advocate for changes to tax adminis-tration policies, both provincially and federally.
Th e B.C. government was an early leader in this area in 2005 when then-revenue minister Rick Th orpe in-troduced a Taxpayer Fairness and Service Code that committed to respect written tax advice — even if it was wrong. Relationships work best with fairness and salable advice.

Th e fi rst half of the show is set in a restau-rant with a lumberjack chef who uses strange practices to check for soup poisoning, dead parrots, vegan, gluten-free, vegetarian and wheat free customers, who include a woman who can't say no and a group of endearing men, reminiscing about the good old days.
Th e second half of
the show encompasses a walk down memory lane with great singers such as Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin, Sonny and Cher, Elvis Presley and many more.
Lacey started the the-atre group fi ve years ago and has grown it to over 40 members. She also started along with her business partner, Lori Steberl, the Hope Studio of Music, Dance and Th eatre.

The Fraser Timber Supply Area Cooperative Association (FTSACA) is developing a Pest Management Plan (PMP) under the Integrated Pest Management Act. This plan will describe a vegetation management program using Integrated Pest Management, including the use of herbicides.
The purpose of the PMP is to describe the vegetation management program in the FTSACA chart area in the Fraser Timber Supply Area. Vegetation control methods in this plan include aerial foliar spray, ground foliar spray (including backpack and power nozzle), stem injection (hack and squirt), basal bark sprays, manual girdling, power saw, stem bending and pulling and mechanical site preparation. These treatments will take place within the Fraser Timber Supply Area that contains Crown land designated as forest land within the Chilliwack Forest District extending from the Nesakwatch River drainage on the Canada / US border in the south to the Nahatlatch River drainage in the north. It extends from the Pitt River in the west to the Skagit River in the east. Since the FTSACA chart areas are spread throughout the Chilliwack Forest District, nearby towns include Boston Bar and Hope and the communities of the Fraser Valley. There are numerous dwellings scattered throughout the plan area. Proposed herbicides to be used include Vision, VisionMax, Vantage, Weed-Master (glyphosate), Release MSO, Garlon RTU, Garlon XRT (triclopyr) and Sylgard 309 (siloxylated polyether). This Pest Management Plan will be in effect for a period of five years from the date of approval (approximately 2015 to 2020).
Interested parties may view the Pest Management Plan application in detail at the following location:

Innovative new homework club piloted by Read Right Society
iHomework launchesCommunity
In partnership with Valley Youth Partner-ship for Engagement and Respect (VYPER), Read Right Society has launched iHomework, a new aft er school home-work program geared to-wards local high school students. Read Right So-ciety worked closely with Valley Youth and local youngsters to identify the types of programs needed in our community. It was met with an overwhelm-ing response indicating that local youth need a place to go aft er school.
“Youth kept telling us they need a safe place to go aft er school to do their homework and get sup-port,” said Jodi McBride, executive director at Read Right Society. “We went to Hope Secondary and Two Rivers Education Centre (TREC) with surveys to fi nd out what the youth wanted in a homework club.”
Over 60 youth participated in the surveys that asked questions, specifi cally targeted to disclose the needs of the students.
“Th e surveys confi rmed the desire and need for a homework club outside of schools, with 40 participants saying they would use the homework club,” said Mc-Bride. “So we invited the youth to develop what the new homework club would look like — 11 youth worked hard to identify what
they wanted in a homework club, and developed a mission and vi-sion.
Th e youth vision is to provide an environment that is friendly and comfortable for students to come to and receive homework help without judgement, bully-ing, or being made to feel stupid.
Aft er receiving funding in March through Valley Youth, Read Right proceeded to put ac-tion behind the youth’s vision.
“We are providing a safe, com-fortable place for youth to come hang out aft er school, do their homework and get help when
they need it, “ said Larissa Dyble, literary facilitator at Read Right Society.
iHomework is open Monday’s and Wednesday’s from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the society’s lounge, Unit F 895 3rd Avenue. Youth will have access to tutors, comput-ers, supplies and healthy snacks. Additionally, youth who live in Silver Creek, or the outskirts of town and lack transportation will be provided with rides home.
For more information please contact Larissa Dyble at 604-869-1363 or [email protected]

Yale resident and world renowned author, Bill Kinsella with his cat Blossom at home.ERIN KNUTSON / THE STANDARD
Erin KnutsonHope Standard
Legendary author and charming resident of Yale, W.P. Kinsella, is gracious, insightful and blunt about his life and work.
Th e 79-year-old author spoke candidly about the release of his newest book, ‘Th e essential W.P. Kinsella,’ which was distrib-uted by his longtime publisher Tachyon. It’s an anthology, based on a prolifi c and com-prehensive body of work and embodies the best of his writing. Kinsella is best known for his 1982 novel ‘Shoeless Joe,’ which was later adapted into a screenplay for none other than Kevin Costner in the colossal hit movie Field of Dreams.
On his success, he describes it as moder-ate in comparison to his contemporaries in Stephen King, and even Danielle Steele, who have a tendency to write for the masses, but might be lacking in the substance of more in-teresting writers.
Short stories are Kinsella’s speciality, and he continues to write from his quaint river-front home.
“Th e midlist author is long gone,” he said, of his time in the spotlight.
Th at hasn’t kept the seasoned professional from his computer, but the authentic writer, who adopted his black cat Blossom a few years back from a rescue, professes to writing long hand and generating only one copy.“I’m too lazy for anything else,” he admits on his writing style. In truth, his writing style is based on a careful deliberation and exten-sive thought process, that allowed the con-
templative, humorous and kindly intelligent patriarch of fi ction to create a body of work that inspires, while, demonstrating a level of craft smanship belonging to a long gone era in fi ction.
Hollywood came up, and the lack of, or overdone, maximize eff ects to maximize profi t philosophy came to the forefront, though Kinsella gave a nod to Gone Girl. One thing is for sure, upon meeting the man and
pouring over his latest compilation — it de-livers a truthfully entertaining prose and isoft en self-deprecating in style, as is the manhimself on matters near and dear. Th ere isa knowing about Kinsella that is intriguingenough to want to buy the book.
Please join Kinsella May 19th at the HopeLibrary for a book signing at 6:30 p.m. Copiesare $20 a piece. For more information pleasecontact Deb at 604-869-2313.

“It’s a great prob-lem to have, with so many activities in town for kids to do,” said Hope’s Steve Nash Basketball pro-gram coordinator, Jeff Kuhn.
Th e problem is that basketball reg-istration numbers are down this spring, notably in the girls’ league, which is off by eight from last year.
“Th e boys are up by three or four. We have 25 of them, from grade 4 to 7 — but we only have 13 girls,” said Kuhn, before heading over to Hope Secondary gym for Monday’s game night. Th ey also meet on Th ursday’s, for prac-tice sessions.
Money shouldn’t have been a concern for most, as $60 was the fee for fi rst-time registrants and those who played last year got a $20 reduction. As well, four “full-ride” scholarships were available, thanks to the generosity of local residents who have called Kuhn to off er their fi nancial support.
“We went through local principals to identify kids that might like to play, but could use a schol-arship,” explained Kuhn. Registrants get a basketball jersey, a basketball and a wristband, as well as the nine practices and seven games.”
Kuhn was initially surprised by the weak turnout.
“I was initially shocked when I saw there were only nine girls signed up — but I did some talking around town and we got it up to 13.
With fi ve girls on the fl oor for each team,
there aren’t many subs, so they get pretty tired,” said Kuhn, who is also the coach of the senior Mustang girls, many of whom help with coaching the kids. Monday is a busy night, with karate and dance also go-ing on. Jasmin Kang goes to karate until 7 p.m., then she’s here by 7:02 p.m. She makes it work, as do some girls who dance.”
Th ey’ve been doing their program in the
spring but not many others do. “Most are in the fall, so I’ll be talking to
my leaders about maybe doing it here in the fall, starting this year,” said Kuhn, who plans to meet with other organizations in Hope to fi gure out the best nights for the program, to avoid clashes.
“It makes it harder for registration, as schools aren’t open during the summer, to
help in promotion,”said Kuhn. “We couldget some pre-regis-tration done beforeschool lets out.”
One of the motiva-tions for starting theprogram three yearsago was to boost thebasic skills of play-ers before they reachcompetitive highschool basketball.
There won’t bemuch of a lift to thegrade 8 teams nextyear, as there are onlythree grade 7’s in theSteve Nash leaguethis coming spring.
What will helpboth programs, saidKuhn, is the pur-chase of a Shootaway8000 shooting ma-chine, which wouldbe housed at HSS andwould be availablefor Steve Nash, phys-ed and high schoolteam use.
You can see a dem-onstration of the ma-chine at shootaway.com. It’s a computer-ized ball-passing ma-chine that is parkedunder a basket, withnetting to catch shots— or misses. Balls arerecycled to shootersand the accuracy isrecorded.
“You can set it tothrow to 16 diff erentpositions and you canset the amount of timebetween passes,” saidKuhn.
“Agassiz has oneand it has totallytransformed theshooting skills of acouple of their girls.
It’s a real motivator for kids,” he said. It costs about $8,000, because of the U.S.
exchange rate — and we’ve raised rightaround $6,000.” Kuhn aspires to have themachine for the upcoming fall season.
Anyone who can help out with fund-ing the project is encouraged to contactthe coach at 604-869-6492, or by e-mail [email protected] .
While Tyler Feser (far left) smiles at bystanders, team-mate Carter Anderson (centre) lines up his shot at a recent Steve Nash Basketball game night at Hope Secondary. Nearly 40 kids from grade 4-7 are playing in the league, which ends on May 25th, 2015.

Thursday, May 14, 2015, Hope Standard A13
It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden and tragic passing of William Peter Edward (Bill) Dixon on Friday, May 1, 2015 at the age of 33.
Left behind to cherish his memory is his wife Tami (nee Kendall) and their two-year-old son Frazier. Bill is survived by his mother Edith Gazzola, stepfather Clark Carter, brother Jeremy Dixon (Raquel), step brother Timothy Carter, father-in-law Alan Kendall (Cathy), brother-in-law Sid Kendall (Jodi), aunt Judy MacNeill (Rodger), uncle Michael Gazzola (Pam), aunt Patricia Zimmer (Robert), aunt Mary Ellen Beamin (Charlie), aunt LeaAnn Russell, aunt Debra Dunsmore (Mic). He will also be missed by nieces, nephews, cousins and numerous lifelong friends.
Bill was predeceased by his father Michael Dixon, grandparents Edward Dixon (Dorothy), Ruth Dixon, Peter and Mary Gazzola, uncle Peter Gazzola and mother-in-law Noreen Kendall.
Bill was born in Hope, BC on May 18, 1981, and growing up he spent time in Hope, Vancouver and Yale. He graduated from Hope Senior Secondary in 2000, and lived in Lone Butte before moving to Kamloops, where he enrolled in welding at Thompson Rivers University. While in Kamloops, Bill met his wife Tami and they began their life together; they married on a sun swept Mexican beach in January 2012, surrounded by their closest friends and family members.
Bill took great pride in his family. Though he spent years working in camps in Alberta, he was hired by Highland Valley Copper in February and was so excited to fi nally be back home full-time.
His passing was shocking and terribly unfair, we take solace in knowing he was with friends and doing something he loved. Bill is loved so deeply by everyone he knew, he will be greatly missed.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday May 16th at 2pm at the Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour St., Kamloops, BC, with Pastor Don Maione offi ciating.
In lieu of fl owers, a family trust account has been set upat TD Canada Trust in support of Tami and Frazier. Donations can be made at any branch quoting Transit #91460 and Account #6316630. Online condolences may be expressed atwww.schoeningfuneralservice.com.
