Concerned 753 Waterworks users met Wednesday, September 9 at the Silver Creek Elementary School Gym to discuss the options related to a pending service rate and tariff increase. Attendees received an extensive information packet outlining the required waterworks upgrades as well as the legalities of the hikes.
Meeting organizers Sara Burleigh, Jessie Morris, and Ray Zervini gave the fl oor to a packed gym, which included dignitaries MLA Laurie Th ron-ess, Mayor Wilfried Vicktor, and Chief Administrative Offi cer (CAO) John Fortoloczky, as questions and concerns were fi elded.
“It’s going through, and they don’t have the guts to tell you it’s going through,” said Burleigh of the legal obligation of users to comply with the company rate increase.
Th e exponential increase, which boasts a 130 per cent hike from the previous rate is on par with current water rate standards, according to stats, and a statement made by Th roness during the meeting.
Failure on Deputy Comptroller Peter Bekker’s part and on behalf of the province to enforce or increase rates over the years has resulted in the rapid hike.
753 Water users may have caught a fi nancial break over the years, but the system has fallen into a degraded state, based on the negligence of not only the comptroller, but the current owners and the facilitation of an extremely weak administration system.
Th e estimated total to complete improvements on the system from a District report dating back to 2011 is $539,000 (this does not specify cur-rent rates for 2015.) At the level of increase specifi ed by the report and the current rate hike to complete improvements — the company would be expected to make a signifi cant revenue, estimated at $159, 453, give or take a few potential expenses.

September is Arthritis Month
Awareness in Canada. An
estimated 4.6 million Canadians
over the age of 15 report having the
disease and by 2036, that number
will increase to 7.5 million. It is not a
disease that affects only the elderly.
About 56% of arthritis sufferers are
under 65. A new arthritis diagnosis
is made every sixty seconds in
Canada. For more information, go
to arthritis.ca
Breastfeeding mothers should
check with their doctor or
pharmacist when taking new
medications, over-the-counter or
herbal products. Some products will
appear in the breast milk and could
be harmful to the baby. Before you
take it, talk about it.
Another area of research into
the use of the chemicals in
marijuana is in the treatment of
the common behavioral symptoms
of Alzheimer’s patients. These
include anxiety, depression, sleep
problems, agitation and aggression.
Early double-blind studies didn’t
show much improvement of
these symptoms perhaps due to
conservative dosing but future
testing will use higher doses.
It’s good to live in Canada. A report
released recently in the U.S. said
that a half million Americans had
more than $50,000 in prescription
drug costs and 139,000 had costs
of more than $100,000. Much of
these costs were related to cancer
and Hepatitis C treatments.

“For now, it’s about putting that money in trust,” said Zervini, a suggestion made by organizers to quell the outrage of 753 users, until further resolution can be determined.
A committee is currently being formed to rally for the District to take over the system, once it has been upgraded to a sufficient level — in the eventuality that does occur, all monies in the exist-ing system would be transferred to the District to oversee the maintenance of the system.
Speeches by MLA Laurie Throness and Mayor Wilfried Vicktor, incited the audience, as Throness discussed the nature of banning together as a community to get things done, while offering his time and services to anyone who had concerns.
“I will do everything I can to help reduce costs,” said Throness, over possible strategies to reduce costs and aid in the potential
takeover of the District. “A proposal has been made, the engineer has gone over the
drawings and the comptroller is doing his own assessment, it could be altered or rejected — it may turn out that what is approved will be more palatable to you.”
Mayor Wilfried Vicktor, also addressed the community’s con-cerns about the District’s involvement with the takeover of the derelict system.
“District, council and staff are keen on assisting 753 users, but we have to be very cautious, because refurbishing a water system can be a very expensive venture,” he said. “An up to date third party evaluation of the 753 water system is probably a good first step, certainly, council feels that the BC water comptroller’s office was not doing a proper job and they should be held accountable by the province.” Representatives from 753 Waterworks were unavailable for comment and did not attend the meeting.

Woman rescued through SAR team effort
Erin KnutsonHope Standard
A woman estimated to be around 30 years old found herself wedged between two rocks in the Coquihalla River, Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m. Hope Search and Rescue(HSAR) locat-ed the distraught woman at the Othello tunnels, near the third tunnel and called in Chilliwack Search and Rescue to help them get the woman to safety.
“We called in the Chilliwack swift-water team and were able to pull her
to safety,” said HSARS Manager Barry Gannon. “The woman was in a pool above, trying to cross the river in-between three boulders and she went over.”
The ordeal was harrowing for offi-cials who tried to calm the woman, while they waited for their Chilliwack counterparts to aid them in the heroic rescue.
“It was tense — she was a good sport about it, but we had to talk her down, and it was tough to see this woman, not knowing if she was going to be able
to hold on,” said Gannon. “I can only imagine how her husband felt.”
The victim’s husband was nearby for the entire ordeal, and was greatly relieved when they pulled his wife out of the fray.
“We want to caution the public about swiftwater safety and to encourage users to wear life jackets — even with a life jacket it can be dangerous for people, but a life jacket is an asset for rescue crews in a situation like this,” Gannon told The Hope Standard.

The upcoming Hope & District Chamber of Commerce meeting on Wednesday, September 23, is set to feature representatives from the company VachGroup Biofuels, who will propose a new waste recycling and pro-cessing plant (dealing specifi-cally in the conversion of rub-bertires into reusable materi-als) to the District of Hope.
The company wants to make its case known to the public and to educate the com-munity about the realities of a processing plant that can recycle rubber tires into con-crete and biodiesel.
“We want businesses to feel welcome,” said Chamber of Commerce President Stephen Yeung.
“We want to give them the oppor tunity to be heard.”
The plant proposes to use regulation sanctioned meth-ods to convert rubber into biodiesel fuel and concrete.
“It’s a common practice in Europe and Asia,” said Yeung.According to Yeung, the prac-tices of the company are cur-rently in line with safety and environmental regulations
and the plant could potentially offer 12 jobs to local residents, while continuing to keep the gateway to commerce open and viable by hearing the terms of the proposal.
For fur ther information about the presentation please contact Yeung at 604-869-3111, or visit hopechamber.net.

Kids Cancer Ride arrives The Sears National
Kids Cancer Ride is one of the big-gest and most ambi-tious charity cycling events, on behalf of childhood cancer in the world. Now in it’s 8th year, the 2015 event is expected to be an emotional and inspirational adven-ture. Cyclists started in Vancouver on September 10 and will finish the tour in Halifax, 17 memo-rable days later, on September 26.
Riding in relay style, the selected national riders will each cycle approxi-mately 150 km and 220 km per day. They will be joined along the way by thousands of other caring cyclists who will cycle shorter, “stage ride” distances in major cities across Canada.
At the start and end of each day, cyclists will participate in community events and visit many of Canada’s 17 pediatric oncology centres and hospitals, where the cancer community will share inspiring sto-ries of strength and hope with cyclists and the media.
Together, the cyclists will raise millions of dollars on behalf of charities that improve the quality of life for children and fami-lies, living with, and beyond cancer.
This year’s event has a new innovative format to give riders of different abilities the opportunity to join, as riders, cross the country to spread the message of hope.
Through significant contributions of cash, products and services, sponsors help cover or reduce the costs of the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride, ensuring, the event can continue to distribute 100 per cent of receipted donations to benefit children with cancer.
Cyclists with Chief Hanson (far left,) and Electoral Area B Director, Dennis Adamson. Mayor Wilfried Vicktor was also in attendence on Thursday, Sept 10 at the Rec Centre to help kick off the Coast to Coast - Sears National Kids Cancer Ride.

ANNUAL
SundaySeptember 20, 2015
Walk | Run | Wheel | Ride
Memorial Park - downtown Hope9am Registration • Start Times: 9:30am-10:30amPledge forms can be picked up at the Rec. Centre
All participants are open to run, walk, bike or inline skate the 3KM, 5KM or 10KM route. Route is wheelchair and stroller accessible.
Run for Cancer Research is scheduled for its 35th annual anniversary appearance in Hope this weekend on Sunday, September 20. All participants are invited to walk, run, wheel and ride their way to a cure.
This year will see a couple of extraordinary participants.
Hope resident, John Wilding lost a leg in a trag-ic logging accident and has spent the past year learning to walk again with an advanced prosthetic leg. The 73 year old will be doing the Run, along with the oldest participant in Hope, Gordon Shepherd (aged 86) on Sunday.
“It’s been about a year, but now it feels great and there’s no pain,” said Wilding of his lengthy journey with a pros-thetic limb. Wilding has been working up to the race with regular runs and told The Hope Standard that 5K shouldn’t be a problem.
Wilding’s message is one of encouragement to other seniors. He advises to keep going, even in the face of adversity — much like Terry.
Terry was diagnosed with bone cancer in his right leg in 1977 and had to have it removed 15 cm above the knee. His quest to help other cancer patients, and to find a cure, led him to the decision to raise money for cancer research by running across Canada.
His original journey was named the Marathon of Hope. Terry realized his dream of raising $1 for every Canadian and he was able to con-tribute a total of $24.17 million to cancer research before he died in June of 1981. To honour the legendary hero, The Terry Fox Run became a Trust, separate from the Canadian Cancer Society, and was awarded a tax-exempt
charitable registration as a public foundation. The Terry Fox Foundation supports close to $20 million in research annually in Canada. All participants are invited to try the 3K, 5K, or 10k route, with start times between 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. at Memorial Park. Pledge forms can also be picked up at the Rec Centre. The route is wheelchair and stroller accessible.

In ancient times the stranger had an almost sacred status for various reasons that continue to be probed by historians and anthropologists.
Someone stumbling into a village or settlement, obviously from afar and not speaking the local language might be anyone — even a divine or threatening pres-ence — but was regardless provided with food and shelter.
Our ancestors also had another good reason to give the stranger aid; they knew that a moment’s notice they could be next, forced into exile and in need of the help they were once willing to give. The debate around how to help Syrian refugees, flee-ing a vicious civil war and expanding Islamic State terrorism, has become something of a political football in Canada. It’s to be expected that various parties during the election would make various claims on the best approach. But this is a matter, to recall to our ancient forbears, is beyond politics. The publication of the photo that went around the world — that of three-year-old Syrian refugee Alan Kurdi, is ample evidence of that. Canada, not its politicians, needs to respond in a way that allows us to alleviate as much suffering as possible arising from this tragedy in Syria.
Canadians are compassionate people and there is ample precedent for helping those in need. We need only recall when in the 1980s thousands of Vietnamese ‘boat people’ were taken in by this country. Compassion has to supercede politics in this matter but other questions arise of Canadians wanting to respond.
While dramatic and serious events like the Syrian crisis are few and far between, there is no lack of other events seeking our charitible response.
It’s important to analyze how useful and effective such charitable “trends” are, often spurred on by heart-wrenching photos, and where they go after the outrage dies down and the public moves on to the next hot issue.
We can look beyond the migrant crisis in Europe to any number of countries that would benefit from the aid and compassion of Canadians. And it is right and good that we continue to do what we can.
And for every trendy hashtag and its accompanying global outrage, there are local issues which, perhaps at times lacking the same hype and glamour, still need our attention. For example, Statistics Canada’s 2011 census states that more than 3,000 young people in Nanaimo are living in poverty — 21.3 per cent of those are six and under. This number is up from 18.5 per cent in 2006. Though not a new issue with celebrity spokespeople, local organizations doing their part to address it still need our support. The status of refugees, and Canada’s responsibility in assisting them is deservedly in the spotlight. And local organizations that are doing their part deserve our accolades, especially as most of them were doing the hard work to support refugees for years before it became a trendy issue. But when the hype dies down, the trick is to remember our long-term commitments to both global and local issues, whether they’re glamorous or not. Given current trends highlighted by the election, it does not seem those issues — local or global — are going to go away anytime soon.
We are limited in what we can do, but the key is to act with compassion and empathy when we can, and leave the politics to the politicians. Black Press

“I am tired of managing poverty.”The words of Lake Babine Nation Chief Wilf Adam were
quoted by both Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad and Premier Christy Clark at their second annual meeting with aboriginal leaders around the province.
In her closing remarks, Clark repeated her aim to continue economic development and resource revenue sharing that have dominated the government’s approach in recent years.
“Let’s eliminate poverty in First Nations communities,” she said, adding “the only way we can fight poverty is to grow the economy.”
Not surprisingly, Clark’s chosen example was the potential of liquefied natural gas development for the Haisla Nation near Kitimat.
That and similar proposals require new gas pipelines. And as is customary in B.C., what people most often hear about are threats and wild claims regarding protests such as the Unist’ot’en camp near Smithers, set up to block a gas pipeline.
There was a round of this in late August, after Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the militant Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs claimed hundreds of RCMP officers were about to descend on the camp.
This echoed previous false claims made by self-styled anar-
chists such as Victoria’s Zoe Blunt, who has been organizing outside support for the camp for the last couple of years.
Media jumped at the prospect of another Gustafson Lake-style confrontation.
This prompted an unusual statement from Cpl. Janelle Shoihet of the North District RCMP.
“To clarify, the B.C. RCMP has no intention of ‘taking down the camp’ set up by the Unist’ot’en,” she said, emphasiz-ing that police are not taking sides or acting as security for pipeline exploration crews being harassed by protesters, who have token support from a couple of dissident members of a Wet’suwet’en clan.
Four elected chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en issued their own statement, to correct media coverage that represents the Unist’ot’en as speaking for their communities.
“Our Nations support responsible resource development as a way to bring First Nations out of poverty and bring oppor-tunities for our young people,” said Burns Lake Band Chief Dan George.
Wet’suwet’en First Nation Chief Karen Ogen said job and benefit agreements for the Coastal GasLink pipeline were entered into after careful consideration, and she objected to protests from outsiders, some from outside the country.
“Sustainability means standing on our own two feet, pro-viding our young people with good paying jobs, and reducing the 40 to 60 per cent unemployment we now experience,”
Ogen said.Haisla Nation Chief Councillor Ellis Ross has no time for
crude oil projects, but he has been working towards gas-related development as long as anyone.
Ross spoke out in support of the elected Wet’suwet’en chiefs in their efforts to resolve the dispute with Unist’ot’en members.
“Opposition is the easiest job in the world,” he said. “What is difficult is finding an answer when a First Nations mother has concerns about her child’s future.
“Politicians are quick to shout out sound bites and get into camera shots, but where are the cameras when another First Nations member takes their own life or when they pass away from highway/alcohol related deaths?”
Ross noted that recent court decisions have put B.C. aboriginal leaders in the best position they have ever had, with governments and development project proponents com-ing to them “with inclusion in mind” after decades of resource development that has passed them by.
You wouldn’t know it most days, but First Nations along both the Coastal GasLink and Pacific Trails gas pipelines have agreed to them.
More aboriginal leaders are getting tired of managing pov-erty, and misguided protesters.

Play boxes bring joy to kids in HopeMy husband and I were fortunate enough to have our five year old grand
daughter out to stay with us for a week. On the second day her Grandpa took her to our wonderful park and to both their amazement they found a big “Play Box,” which had been installed by the side of the playground and when they opened it – they found all sorts of donated toys — ranging from footballs, soc-cer balls, throwing toys and even a plastic go-cart.
For four hours these two – the very young and the “not so young” played their hearts out – trying almost everything in what my grand daughter classi-fied as “the magic box." Wow – whoever thought of this – what a grand idea! The box was attracting lots of children and they were all taking their turns-as children will.
It was two days later that our little one just “had to go back” to the magic box and again they hurried to open the chest and to her dismay – the toys had all been stolen and to add insult to injury – the toys had been replaced with garbage.
At five years of age – most children have not yet been exposed to vandal-ism – and how do you explain that without chipping away at least a bit of their innocence?
We did the best we could – but how sad that just a few bad apples have to spoil the generosity and love of most of the citizens in Hope.

Re: Pit bull propaganda is deadlyIn reply to the September 10 article, pit bull pro-
paganda is deadly:I moved back to Hope six years ago and before
that I lived in Burnaby and volunteered at the SPCA for several years.
I'm a dog owner and dog lover who has fostered a pit bull but not an expert in any way. However, I have first hand experience with pit bulls and learned a lot from the employees, volunteers and dogs at the SPCA.
I learned at that time, the number one dog breed for biting was the Cocker Spaniel. I learned that
many dog attacks are reported as being from pit bulls but when investigated further, come from other breeds.
This skews the statistics and makes pit bulls look far more dangerous than they really are. I have scars on my arms from dog bites I have encoun-tered while volunteering. Not one scar is from a pit bull or Rottweiler. My scars are from a german shepherd cross and several small dogs. I'm far more wary of small dogs because owners often don't bother to train them. I have seen a pit bull with cigarette burns on his back and an eyelid sliced
open with a razor blade, all done by his owner to make him aggressive.
It didn't work! He was a sweet, gentle boy, who loved people.
As I mentioned, I'm not an expert but the article condemning pit bulls did not have one quote from the SPCA, ASPCA, Cesar Milan or any other dog expert, probably because they feel it's all in the raising of the dog, not the breed.

Thanks! Brigade Days volunteers
I want to thank all of the Brigade Days organiz-ers and volunteers for the huge effort it must have taken to create such an ambitious and successful event. I was amazed by the sheer variety of things hap-pening this year at loca-
tions all across our town. The audience turnout was very strong at the events I visited and people of all ages were having a great time. Your passion brings life to our community — keep up the good work!

Input needed on groundwater regulationsOn the heels of the successful petition to have
BC review rates set for the new Water Sustainability Act (WSA), the province has released four discus-sion papers on the next regulations in develop-ment. Of broadest relevance and with most far reaching implications for future water security in BC is groundwater licensing.
Groundwater is unregulated until the WSA comes into effect next year. Regulation of ground-water is perhaps the most significant change in this first major overhaul of BC water law in over a century. It brings with it recognition that ground-water is an integral part of the water cycle, essen-tial to our economic and ecological well-being. It also brings responsibility to determine the state of groundwater in BC.
Currently our picture of groundwater is far from
complete. We don’t know existing supplies and uses, never mind reliable projections for chang-ing climate and growing population. Even where provincial observation wells exist there are large data gaps.
Of great concern, as the government prepares to issue approximately 20,000 licences to exist-ing non-domestic groundwater users, is that the licences are set to be for a minimum of 30 years. Even after 30 years there is no fixed requirement that licences be reviewed. The WSA only states that licences will not be reviewed before 30 years.
We already know that some water sources are overused. It would be prudent to make initial groundwater licences conditional on a review in 5 or 10 years time. This would allow the government time to complete audits of groundwater supply and
demand, and to make projections for future supply and demand based on up-to-date data and science, before committing to long term licences.
Please see www.w at e r w e a l t hpro j e c t .com/blog for more thoughts on groundwa-ter regulations and links to provincial discussion papers and options for providing your com-ments. Let’s get these new water regulations right the first time!

The refugee crisisThe Syrian refugee cri-
sis is a serious but com-plex issue. The flow of refugees from the Middle East into Europe started many months if not years ago. Currently the major-ity appears to be from Syria but there are many from Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
In reading the reports there appear to be two types of refugee. There are those who have been subjected to various forms physical and psy-chological abuse includ-ing having their homes and villages destroyed and there are economic refugees who are fleeing with money for their own financial reasons. The refugees that have, for example, suffered serious religious persecution and the destruction of their
homes demand immedi-ate consideration. Those fleeing for economic reasons may need more thought. An incident on the Greek island of Lesbos where a “refugee” was heard complaining that there were no good hotel rooms available gives pause for thought.
Then we see several reports going back over many months where ISIS is quoted as saying they will flood Europe with radicalized “refugees”. When you look at many of the pictures on TV and see the large number of apparently healthy, well dressed young men act-ing rather aggressively and claiming refugee sta-tus you start to wonder who these people are.
Our government is tak-ing a cautious approach to screening refugees. Yes - Canada should be gen-
erous when it comes to helping genuine refugees. But, with the complex mess the refugee situa-tion is in, there is good reason for caution. The current situation is rather different than many refu-gee challenges in the past. There are a lot of aspects now that are not clear and there are many dangers involved. The root of the problem is the politi-cal and religious mess in the Middle East. This needs to be addressed in a constructive way that addresses the refugee problem. Unfortunately no one seems to have any clear answers. I think the approach our government is taking by being a bit cautions regarding refu-gees and working towards a long term solution is the rational approach.

Save the Date for local Thanksgiving Food Drive
Hope Community Services’ (HCS) Thanksgiving Food Drive is currently underway in the neigh-bourhoods of Hope, and all residents are encour-aged to look for a Cooper’s Foods donation bag at the door (if you haven’t found it already.) The bag will then be picked up by volunteers on Saturday, September 19.
The drive is an initiative on behalf of HCS and Cooper’s to connect good people with good food. All contributing parties are encouraged to fill the bag with nutritious and non-perishable food items.
“We are encouraging people to fill the bag with high protein food sources — beans, peanut butter, pasta, pasta sauces — things people can make eas-ily,” Program Manager of Intervention Programs Michele Thornhill told The Hope Standard. “We would like to thank all of our volunteers and encourage people to come to the office to donate, so we can purchase in bulk — it’s appreciated because we can get more food that way.”
Buy & Save made a special contribution of $1000 to the organization for groceries on Tuesday.
“We weren’t sure if we were going to be able to open our doors on Wednesday, because we weren’t sure if we had enough food, so now we can and that’s awesome,” said Thornhill.
The non-profit organization recently received a food grant from Food Banks Canada, affording it the capacity to store perishable food with the purchase of a commercial fridge.
“We do rely a lot on volunteers — this is a volunteer driven program and without them, this wouldn’t be possible,” said Thornhill.
Residents are encouraged to give generously in an effort to see that everybody has a thanksgiving to be thankful for.
The organization has been busy at work, serv-ing the community of Hope and surrounding areas for over 30 years, and its continuation is depen-dent on the support of the community. For more information on the Drive please contact Michele at 604- 869-2466

BRIGADE DAYS — THE BEST EVER!
The 47th annual Brigade Days celebration was the most successful ever, as a surplus of 4200 guests attended the three day event, starting with an exceptional parade on Saturday, September 12. Crowds lined Wallace Street to partake in the five star parade, as businesses, local dignitaries, The District of Hope, contributors and just about every organization and government affiliation in Hope and surrounding areas turned out to kick off the events. Kids, dogs, men in kilts, MLA Laurie Throness (bottom left) and chainsaw carver Ryan Cook (bottom right) made an appearance.
Opposite page: A ton of fun events were featured at Brigade Days. From clockwise: Boys and girls of all ages enjoyed a host of crazy, dust-spinning events in the Sports Bowl Arena; The Westie Armie Cadets tossed a giant basketball around in Sixth Avenue Park; The Demolition Derby astonished crowds with its smoke induced crashes and it even had an evil car competing with a popular lego car on Sunday, September 13. The band Headpins stole the show during the evening por-tion of the events; NWO Roller Derby went off without a hitch as skaters scrimmaged in the park throughout the weekend, and last but not least, a stunning display of fireworks lit up the sky on Saturday, September 12.

In my last column “Pit bull propaganda is deadly” I described how canines bred for hun-dreds of years to be champion dog killers are not
a safe family pet. I supported facts such as pit bulls kill and severely injure more humans and animals than all other breeds combined with links to comprehensive studies, essays and statistics from several reputable sources. I also made the prediction there’d be an onslaught of hostility
over my ignorance and demands that I do my research. Within moments of the article being published there were countless online comments and emails stating exactly that. It was obvious many hadn’t even bothered to read what I wrote. I was inundated with the usual rhetoric: pit bulls
get a bad rap; it’s all how you raise them; blame the deed not the breed; pit bulls are harmless wiggle butts; they were bred to be nanny dogs; it’s impossible to identify a pit bull; the media only reports pit bull attacks; poodles (or insert any other breed) bite more; you’re a dog racist; you’re
a dog hater; all dogs bite; all dogs kill; cars kill more people; people kill more people; coconuts kill more people; and the list went on. The familiar myths were often written in the most aggressive language and tone imaginable, and not one person provided any evidence to dispute the thoroughly researched facts I presented.
As vile as some of the messages were, they failed to surprise or intimi-date me - but that’s only because I’ve written on this topic before and I’ve learned what to expect from previous feedback, as well as from reading com-ments under pit bull attack stories in the news. My first glimpse of this com-bative crowd came four years ago after a pit bull sunk his powerful jaws into the face of my friend’s eight-year-old son leav-ing a gaping wound in his cheek, requiring 40 stitch-es and scarring him for life. According to the pit bull apologists, the boy, who had simply pet his friend’s dog, must have provoked the attack. The pet’s owner was faulted as well.
“There are no bad dogs, only bad owners,” was repeated incessantly. It’s one of their most popu-lar mantras, but how do they explain all the trag-edies caused by pit bulls raised from puppyhood by good, responsible owners who trained them to be safe family pets? People like Susan Iwicki believed this myth until her two pit bulls destroyed the pre-cious life of her friend’s 14-month-old son who was in her care at the time. How could this have hap-pened when she had done everything right? She’d neutered and spayed her pups as soon as they were old enough, she socialized them, gave them lots of love and attention, and her three-year-old dogs had never shown any signs of aggression before they sud-denly assaulted her while she was holding Daxton on her hip. Without any provocation or warn-ing their genetics kicked in and they attacked her and savaged him for 15 torturous minutes, leaving him grotesquely disfigured and then dead. His par-ents were shattered beyond repair, and, like every vic-tim of one of these hor-rendous attacks, they were blamed for it, as was the owner. But who was real-ly at fault? Believing the myth that it’s all how you raise them is what killed the innocent toddler.

McDonald’s Hiring Day coming soon to HopeErin KnutsonHope Standard
An exciting and opportune hiring event is scheduled all day on Thursday, September 24 at Hope’s one and only McDonald’s location.
The opportunity for interested applicants to come on down to the world’s most famous restaurant with their resumes, skills, and the willingness to work is an event to be celebrated.
“McDonald’s is a good starting point for anyone,” said Hope McDonald’s Owner and Entrepreneur Stephen Yeung. “Having McDonald’s on a resume is an asset, because of the skill-set, hard work and team oriented environment.”
Famous people across the world have started out at the restaurant, including Canadian actress Rachel McAdams, who worked at a location during her university career in Toronto.
The fast-paced ambience provides the opportunity for employees to work on their communication and problem
solving skills in an intense environment, while honing food prep skills, observing health code regulations and enjoying the camaraderie of a positive team.
“If you are willing to work hard, there is nothing you can’t accomplish,” said Yeung. “There are plenty of opportunities within the organization for advancement.”
McDonald’s has been acting as a stepping stone for a new, and existing workforce for decades and is one of the most successful businesses in the District of Hope.
Yeung emphasized the importance of work experi-ence to The Hope Standard. The self-made entrepreneur started off working at a gas station as an attendant, and then worked his way up, eventually owning and propri-eting 11 of his own stations. “It’s not a dead end — if you work as hard as you pos-sibly can, opportunities will come,” he said. The annual event marks an opportunity to help bring employers and employees together.
All interested parties are encouraged to come down, meet the team, and to be prepared for success.

Entertainment
Highway Thru Hell appears in HopeDiscovery’s most-watched program for the
2014/15 broadcast year, Highway Thru Hell, is back. Holding the title as the third highest-rated season of any series ever on Discovery last year with an estimated audience of 723 000 — the original Canadian hit series follows Jamie Davis and his crew, as they travel the highways and byways of B.C. to the mountains of Alberta.
“We’re refurbishing our Flood Hope Rd loca-tion, because it’s more visible” Davis told The Hope Standard of plans his company has mov-ing forward. The Jamie Davis Heavy Rescue Towing Company Flood Hope location will also be selling merchandise from the series and will continue operations.
Davis is in the process of downsizing, due to severe competition in the area. “There are too many tow companies — this will be my last time in here,” he said of his company’s Silver Skagit Rd location.”
Competition, economic downshifts, espe-cially in Alberta with the climate of the oil industry and staffing issues, all played a role in Davis’ decision to simplify things.
“It’s about less people and more quality,” he said. “At the end of the season, who we hire, often means less people, but if they’re quality that’s more important than numbers.”
Premiering at the Hope Golf Club last Tuesday was the beginning of what promises to be an exciting new season. Stakes are higher than ever, as the season picks up where the story left off — Davis looking to expand his
Heavy Recovery Operation, while facing new challenges and even bigger wrecks.
“You can expect to see major accidents happening this season,” he said.
The Jamie Davis Heavy Rescue Crew is in for substantial change, as Davis’ brothers contribute to help maintain both operations between the two provinces. The 2012 debut of Highway Thru Hell, still holds the title of the number one series premiere in Discovery Channel history.
Toyota returned as the exclusive series sponsor, featuring the full-size tundra pickup, with 13 new episodes focusing on the team of drivers who work for Davis — along with several other heavy recovery operations, all working together to keep the roads open in dangerous working conditions.
“We’re very proud that our number one show is a Canadian production and plays such a prominent role in our primetime schedule,” said President and General Manager of the Discovery Channel Paul Lewis. “Highway Thru Hell is a series unique to Canadian audiences, offering a blend of real life characters that resonate with our viewers.” Jamie Davis with daughter Alexa at their former Silver Skagit Rd location.
