Station House Project moves forward with request for blueprints to move forward with exterior renovations

A committee of the whole meeting was held in council chambers Monday night to discuss the progress of the Station House and to de-cide on an appropriate course of action for the legacy project.
The historical building is currently being upgraded for the use of the The Hope Visitor Centre & Museum Complex and is structur-ally sound, according to the District.
There is potential to engage other stake-holders in the future, and to procure other key community businesses and organizations to make use of the space in the building, once
renovations have been finalized. This will leave the building open to further
community engagement, and the possibil-ity for the eligibility of meatier community grants toward the improvement of the interior of the building down the line according to Mayor Wilfried Vicktor.
For the time being, council moved that staff prepare and issue a design/build Request For Proposal (RFP) including conceptual draw-ings to repair the exterior of the Station House building up to the amount of $217,000.
“It has been decided that the heating system within the Station House be brought up to ser-vice; and the Director of Operations confirm if Kerkhoff Engineering has the capability
in-house to provide conceptual architectural drawings, and if so to provide a cost estimate for said drawings,” said Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) John Fortoloczky.

New editor finds HopeX. Y. (Xuyun) Zeng is taking over as the new
editor of Th e Hope Standard.He brings a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from
the University of Toronto, earning highest hon-ours and a spot on the Dean's List.
He most recently worked up in the Bulkley Valley, writing for two newspapers including the Smithers Interior News and Houston Today news-papers, where he wrote stories ranging from sports to town council.
Some highlights include covering the Nor-Am and Canadian ski cross nationals in Smithers, the closure of the sole grocery store in Houston and the challenges the Village of Telkwa had while ap-plying for grants to build a new water tower.
“In practising my craft in three northern com-munities, I've learned that towns just 15 minutes from each other can face diff erent challenges and have diff erent perspectives to certain issues, and I'm hoping to get a sense of what Hope is like as soon as possible,” said Zeng.
Zeng has also written for the Toronto Observerand done freelance videography and illustration
work.Zeng will replace current editor Erin Knutson
when she leaves this Friday to become the editor in the Agassiz-Harrison Observer.

Funding to help B.C. parents Laura BaziukBlack Press
Th e B.C. government announced $1.5 million in new funding on Th ursday for a “life-changing” pro-gram that helps parents deal with kids who have be-havioural problems.
Th e “Confi dent Parents Th riving Children” pro-gram is a free series of telephone workshops launched last year by the B.C. division of the Canadian Mental Health Association.
So far, it has helped more than 1,000 families across the province, helping primary caregivers of kids ages three to 12 to deal with behaviour issues such as aggression, anti-social behaviour, defi ance and substance abuse.
“It is very positive. It is clear — it truly is life-changing,” said Paula Littlejohn, a mother of two from Victoria. She was referred to the program last year by her doctor to get help dealing with her son, William, who has a severe learning disability and ADHD. Littlejohn said getting her son ready for school or bedtime was a huge struggle, but she learned ways to give mild consequences for negative behaviour and support for positive behaviour.
“I have a more positive relationship (with my son). William is able to use those skills with me.”
Th e mental health association reported that four out of fi ve parents who took part in the program said they saw an improvement in their child’s behaviour and reported feeling more confi dent in their parent-ing and coping skills.
Bev Gutray, the CEO for the association’s B.C. arm,
said this program is particularly eff ective because it focuses on early intervention and prevention.
“We will see the benefi ts from this program years from now,” she said. “Parents are committed to the health of their children. Th ey are signing up for the full 14 weeks and that tells us how motivated parents are.”
She said she hopes the government will eventu-ally grant the funding every year, especially with 200 families already on the wait list.
Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux said her ministry will monitor the success of the program over time.
“It’s one of the things we’re doing in our cross-gov-ernment mental health strategy,” Cadieux said. “We don’t know yet about next year, but certainly this is a program we believe has great potential.”
Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux, left, and Paula Littlejohn, announced more fund-ing last Thursday for a B.C.-wide program for kids dealing with aggression and behaviour issues.

Shingles is a painful viral condition
that affects people who have
had chickenpox in their youth.
Evidently, if you are over 40,
chances are pretty good you have
had chickenpox or were exposed
to it. There is a shingles vaccine
that can reduce your chances of
getting shingles by half. Talk to
your doctor. Our pharmacists also
have good information about this
vaccine.
Are you protecting your eyes as
well as your skin this summer? The
ultraviolet radiation that affects
your skin can affect your eyes as
well. As with skin exposure, the
effects are cumulative and can
cause problems like cataracts.
Protect your eyes with sun glasses
that block 99% of both UV-A and
UV-B rays. Read the labels when
buying sunglasses. It could save
your sight.
The importance of eating a
good breakfast every day can’t
be stressed enough and it’s
particularly important for school-
aged children. It’s been proven
that children perform better in
school if they start the day with a
good breakfast. Recognizing this,
many schools have a Breakfast
for Learning program to ensure
kids eat something before school
starts. Many don’t get this at
home.
That ne print on non-prescription
medication contains valuable
safety and dosing information.
Often the tiny print is ignored
because it’s so small but it should
be heeded. Before you buy, talk
about it to a pharmacist. We can
determine whether the medication
is right for your medical condition
and is compatible with the
medications you are already
taking. We are happy to share
our drug knowledge with you.

A new web cam has been launched near the Haig Scale on Highway 7, about two kilometres west of Hope, Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Todd Stone announced.
"Highway cam-eras are an important transportation tech-nology that we use to provide travellers with timely information on current road and weather conditions," Stone said.
"We encourage driv-ers to check DriveBC before heading out
in order to check on conditions, to avoid delays, and to arrive safely at their destina-tions."
This new web cam provides real-time monitoring of High-way 7, showing cam-era views in both east and west direc-tions. The web cam can be viewed under the Lower Mainland tab at: http://drivebc.ca/#webcams
"The busy summer driving season is now here, and we want to help ensure locals and visitors enjoy safe trav-
els through our beauti-ful region with anoth-er new web cam that they can consult be-fore hitting the road," said Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness.
There are now more than 550 highway web cam images available provincewide to help drivers 'know before they go' and make travel plans according to traffic congestion, weather conditions, and other events or advisories posted for provincial roadways.
"These web cams provide motorists with
the most up-to-date information on traffic, weather and road con-ditions, and are a valu-able online tool when
preparing for summer road trips through beautiful B.C.," said Fraser-Nicola MLA Jackie Tegart.
Real time cameras help motorists determine safe travel routes and conditions.

A consortium led by Shell Canada with support of the Haisla Nation to build a liquefi ed natural gas export facility near Kitimat is the latest LNG investment to de-lay proceeding. LNG Canada announced Monday it would delay indefi nitely its decision to proceed beyond 2016. Th e group started engineering work in 2014, supported by Shell, Korea Gas, Mitsubishi of Japan and PetroChina as venture partners.
Th e latest delay in piping northeast B.C. gas to the coast for export is a blow to the Peace region, where exports to the U.S. have been replaced by new domestic sources of gas. Oil production increases in the Middle East have driven down the world price of oil, taking gas with it as producers multiply. LNG Canada CEO Andy Calitz said the partnership remains a "promis-ing opportunity." and will continue site preparation. It has "important commercial and engineering contracts in place to build the project" and an agreement with TransCanada to construct pipelines to the B.C. Coast. When the joint venture was announced in 2014, Calitz said there are three key factors in deciding whether to commit to the Kitimat project. Th ey are shift s in the gas price in Asia, the supply and cost of labour to build the plant and pipelines, and construction of gas pipelines.

Blues starts off park concertsConcerts in the Park (CITP) started off with a
bang on Saturday, July 9 at Memorial Park, featur-ing the electric stylings of Gerald Charlie & Th e Black Owl Blues Band.
Gerald Charlie has been a staple of blues music in the Fraser Valley for many years. A favourite of Hope & District Arts Council's Concerts in Th e Park series, Gerald Charlie, returned to kick off the season.
Th e Hope & District Arts Council (HDAC) is proud to present this free event series from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday of the summer, end-ing with a two day festival on Aug 20 and 21, from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Concerts in the Park brings a wide range of musi-cians to the bandstand at the northwest corner of the park. From blues to rock to jazz to folk to pop music, there is something for everyone at this fami-ly-friendly, community event.
Concerts in the Park began in 2006, and has fea-tured both local musicians/bands, as well as those from the Lower Mainland and even as far away as Australia. Th is year HDAC has sought out a mix of performers from the Hope region and the Lower Mainland to bring something new to the event and to present a wider range of music that appeals to as broad an audience as possible.
Th is event was made possible through the gener-ous support of BC Gaming, District of Hope, vari-ous local businesses and the volunteers who have donated their time to organize, promote, and pro-duce the event.
Eric Campbell & Th e Dirt are scheduled for July
16’s “Rock in the Park.”Th e Dirt features heavy grooves, wild guitar riff s,
a touch of violin, and a commitment to climactic, outlaw rock and roll.
Lead singer and guitarist Gerald Charlie kick off the first of many Concerts in the Park last Saturday, July 9, in Memorial Park. See opposite page for photos.

Wealthy foreigners snapping up the best properties at pre-mium prices, and then in some cases leaving them vacant except for prime times. Occupancy per-mits trading on classifi ed websites, even rumours of resellers working the passing traffi c like rock concert scalpers. Th e B.C. Liberal govern-ment maintains the problem is pri-marily a lack of supply, and vows to build more.
It’s B.C.’s other real estate crisis, campsite spaces. And mostly it is a summer-time media invention.
An urban radio station poll last week asked if there is some-thing wrong with BC Parks’ online campsite reservation service, and
more than 80 per cent of partici-pants agreed there was.
Th ey’re likely misinformed about what is wrong, especially if they’re going by the exaggerated or fl at-out false information they’ve heard as this issue was infl ated into a national story.
It got going just before the Canada Day long weekend, when popular campsites are always booked solid. Reports claimed European tourists were buying package tours that included BC Parks campground reservations, for which they were paying twice the selling price.
In our 24-hour, social media gossip swamp, this kind of thing gets out of hand quickly. A Salmon Arm company, Canadian Camping Adventures, was named in news reports as working with European travel agencies, buying reserved camp spots for $18 to $38 a night
and reselling them for $70.NDP and Green Party politi-
cians jumped on the bandwagon, shocked that the people’s parks would be exploited like this. One problem: they’re not.
Th e Salmon Arm couple who built the tour business said the $70 fi gure comes from adding up all the hotel rooms, camp bookings and activities on the route and di-viding by the number of days. Th e tours are designed around activi-ties and private RV camping facili-ties, with BC Parks campgrounds oft en midweek stops along the way.
Th e business was besieged by threatening phone and email mes-sages, and had to take its Facebook page down aft er it was inundated with abuse.
Th e environment ministry pulled together its latest statistics on use of the BC Parks online res-ervation system. Commercial tour
operators account for less than one per cent of bookings, and many of their customers are from within B.C.
In fact, three quarters of all pro-vincial campground reservations are from British Columbians, 14 per cent are Albertans, 2.8 per cent are from elsewhere in Canada and 3.6 per cent are from the U.S. Th e entire continent of Europe ac-counts for 6.6 per cent of bookings.
Considering that the B.C. gov-ernment spends gobs of money on its “Super, Natural B.C.” ad campaign to market our great wil-derness to the world, perhaps op-position critics could reacquaint themselves with reality before leap-ing for cheap media hits.
Th e reservation system shows plenty of spaces, even at the most popular BC Parks campsites. Weekends are scarcer, and holidays like the upcoming B.C. Day week-
end are snapped up as soon as the 90-day window for booking camp-grounds comes around.
One trick used by savvy B.C. campers when a long weekend approaches is to book a maxi-mum two-week stay starting on their fi rst day of eligibility, 90 days away. Th e second week stretches beyond the limit to the high-de-mand week that is not yet available for booking.
Th en they cancel the fi rst week, get a refund for it, and hold onto the coveted long weekend spot.
Environment Minister Mary Po-lak says creating more campsites in B.C. parks is the ultimate answer. Of course that will attract protests about paving paradise to put up a parking lot.

On June 17, Canada’s Parliament passed Bill C-14, the new law to regulate assisted suicide and euthanasia in Canada. Th is has been a very diffi cult, complex, and emotional experience for all Parliamentarians and Canadians. I’d like to provide you with a brief history on the pro-cess and what will happen now.
On Feb. 6, 2015, the Supreme Court of Can-ada ruled that it will be legal to assist an indi-vidual with suicide and euthanasia under strict conditions. Th e SCC instructed Parliament to create legislation by June 2016 that included safeguards, within a strict enforcement regime that would permit a competent adult, who is suff ering from a “grievous and irremediable medical condition,” to receive assistance from a physician to end their life.
In January, I was appointed to the Special Joint Committee on Physician-Assisted Dy-ing. Th e committee was tasked with consulting Canadians and providing recommendations for new legislation. I met with many Langley-Aldergrove residents, hosted town hall meet-ings and travelled to consult with Canadians. Unfortunately, the committee report fell far short of what was necessary to protect vul-nerable Canadians and the Charter-protected conscience rights of health professionals.
I was one of the MPs who wrote a dissent-ing report that raised numerous concerns and proposed meaningful safeguards. Our dissent-ing report received broad support from Cana-dians.
Th e government then introduced Bill C-14, which addressed some concerns, trying to reach a balance between safeguards and au-tonomy. I was again part of the legislative pro-cess, where amendments were proposed. Few amendments were accepted in the House of Commons and the Senate.
An important safeguard that was maintained in C-14 is that an individual who requests as-
sisted suicide or euthanasia must be in a condi-tion of health where “natural death has become reasonably foreseeable.” Th is safeguard in C-14 has the objective “to recognize the signifi cant and continuing public health issue of suicide, to guard against death being seen as a solution to all forms of suff ering, and to counter nega-tive perceptions about the quality of life of per-sons who are elderly, ill, or disabled.”
C-14 has now become the law in Canada. It requires that additional studies be done on ac-cess to assisted suicide and euthanasia through advance directives, for minors, and for those with a mental illness.
One of the biggest concerns remains: C-14 requires that an individual requesting assisted suicide or euthanasia must be informed of health care options that would help alleviate their suff ering, including palliative care. Un-fortunately, C-14 fails to require that palliative care is provided to any person that needs and requests it.
Palliative care is presently not available to 70 to 83 per cent of Canadians that need it. Canada desperately needs to create a national palliative care strategy and for palliative care to become a core health care service in Canada.
C-14 fails to protect the conscience rights of Canadian health care professionals or institu-tions. Seventy per cent of Canadian physicians have indicated they do not want to provide as-sisted suicide.
Canada already has a critical shortage of physicians and health care providers. As a re-sult, I have introduced Bill C-268 to protect the conscience rights of all health care professions against being forced to participate in assisted suicide. Th e debate on C-268 will begin in the Fall 2017 session of Parliament.

Mayor refutes Station House cost allegations
Green Party is the real underdog Gardner dealership
saves tourists’ day
In response to a letter in the Letters page in your June 30 paper written by Ms. Kimberly Hogg, I wish to set the record straight on a number of topics.
First it is important to note that a decision of coun-cil is a majority vote. Th e Mayor’s role is to facilitate discussion of our six-person council, provide his own feedback and add to the discussion, get a motion on the fl oor of the council table and see that clear direction to our administration staff is given by a majority vote.
Individual opinions of Mayor and council are al-ways welcomed during the discussion but once a vote
is taken and a decision is arrived at it is my duty to make sure that the direc-tions contained within that motion are carried out. My personal opinion at that point is irrelevant, as a col-lective decision has been arrived at and must be car-ried out.
Important additional points of clarifi cation in-clude:
• Council does not have funds to hire an architect to the amount of $100,000-110,000
• Th e parking lot and exit road issue has been dis-cussed at the council table and a great deal of this work will be done by communi-
ty-minded volunteers with contributed equipment.
-Th e Ministry of Trans-portation and Highways has been very cooperative and forthright in their dealings with us and our adminis-trator has worked hard to make sure that all poten-tial highway expansion or realignment issues will not jeopardize the future use of the site.
• Council started this project on a shoestring budget and had adopted a phased approach for com-pletion of the Station House project. Th e emergence of a few unexpected challenges and the presence of a Ru-ral Dividends Grant which
council was contemplating applying for caused the ma-jority of District council to pause the project for further discussion. It is important to note that a grant applica-tion was completed by ad-ministration as directed by council but the majority of council felt that the amount was outside of their comfort zone to complete the project in this way and it was not submitted for this reason.
• Th e Kinder Morgan monies of $500,000 have been discussed but I have always made sure that I as Mayor have mentioned that the monies will only be re-ceived if the pipeline proj-ect goes ahead. Th e monies
will also have to be used for special projects not roads, sewers, and bridge work.
• I am very pleased with the transparency that coun-cil had show in this and oth-er issues. Th is transparency of course is only helpful to folks who take the initiative to attend meetings, read minutes or talk directly to their Mayor and council and take all details in con-text.
• The District of Hope’s telephone number is 604-869-5671 and my cell phone number is 604-860-5444, for anyone who would like to ask questions directly and not through the Letters page of The
Hope Standard.• A special thank you
to all parties that have brought the project to this stage and we look forward to setting in place a plan to get the project finished as soon as possible.
It is interesting to note that the letter to the news-paper was addressed to my-self and aired through the newspaper publically.
I would respectfully sug-gest to Ms. Hogg that if she is indeed not politically motivated (as she claims) she should send me letters directly for a speedier re-sponse.
Mayor Wilfried Vicktor
If there ever was a political organization in Canada’s history that was totally dedicated to its cause, it is the Green Party.
Th e Greens are not only David versus Go-liath, but they face their enemies on an uphill slope.
Th e Green movement began in 1968 right here in British Columbia, and has grown into a worldwide political or-ganization, that has just elected its fi rst govern-ment in Austria.
It also has strong po-litical support in Ger-many, the U.K., and has elected members in Canada federally, and provincially in Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and B.C.
Th e Green Party bas-es its political agenda on
six key principles, social justice, participatory democracy, ecological wisdom, respect for di-versity, non-violence, and sustainability.
It’s because of these six principles that sepa-rates the Greens from every other political party in the world.
Not only do the Greens take their battle to Goliath on uneven ground, but they do it with one hand tied be-hind their backs.
Unlike the two main B.C. parties, the Greens do not accept political donations from corpo-rations or trade unions. For example, the Clark government(Liberals) accepts approximate-ly $10 million a year from corporations, the NDP about $4 million from unions, while the
Greens who only accept donations from grass-root individuals trail the pack at about $400,000 per year.
Not only are the Greens inhibited by lack of fi nancial parity with the other parties, they are also placed on a lower priority by main-stream media, and are not given an equal foot-ing in their uphill, one handed battle, against the Goliath Parties of Canadian democracy.
It’s frustrating for Greens, who not only don’t have the fi nancial moxie to compete with the behemoths, but are also discredited by them and the media, as an one issue party.
Th is critique of the Green’s is entirely off base, and is only an at-tempt to discredit them.
In reality the Greens, who consider them-selves as fi scal conser-vatives, have an entire policy platform (Vision Green) that is constant-ly raided by the main-stream parties.
But there is one other
thing about Greens that make them stand out and above the crowd, their unrelenting deter-mination. Because, un-like their counterparts, they are anything but self-centred, and are fo-cused on future genera-tions.
In fact, because they realize their chance of fi nancial reward is min-imal, you will never fi nd a Green candidate that is in it for the money.
In fact, most of the Green candidates that run for offi ce, would happily take a consider-able pay cut from their career jobs, just to pre-serve the Earth, if they ever got elected.
To be a Green can-didate your skin needs to be thicker, and your message has to be unre-lenting.
As the Greens are not given the same recogni-tion as the other Party’s, whose favour is sought out by mainstream me-dia for their advertising contracts.
But, the biggest chal-lenge, as well as oppor-
tunity for the Green Party, is the politically unengaged electorate, who’s lackadaisical atti-tude towards our West-minster democracy is taken advantage of by the mainstream politi-cal parties, who actively seek to keep them sup-pressed.
In fact, it’s when this block of voters become engaged, is when the Greens have had their greatest success.
So the next time you get an invitation to a Green rally, meeting, or protest, ask yourselves why are these people doing this?
I can guarantee you it’s not for the money, not for the recognition, but probably for an is-sue that’s near and dear to them, and critical for the planet. An issue at the end of the day, if concluded in their favour, will probably make everyone’s day brighter, and Canada, and the world a better place to live.

Kudos to your local GM dealer — Gardner Chev-rolet Buick GMC.

What a welcome to Hope, B.C.Will we return? You betcha!

Th e Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation and the Auxiliary of the Fraser Canyon Hos-pital and Fraser Hope Lodge are raising funds to go toward a bus re-placement for the Adult Treatment program at Fraser Hope Lodge and only require $12,000 to reach their goal, out of a total of $100,000.
Th e bus is a lifeline for clients, that would otherwise not have the
opportunity, or the same accessibility to go on outings for personal or therapeutic reasons.
“Th e impact is pro-found, and I see it in the faces and spirits of the residents that go each week — they are fi lled with anticipation be-fore they go, and when they come back they are fl ushed with excitement over what they saw, ate, heard, experienced — they just come back so energized, and with stories to tell, and I hear their laughter and voic-
es as they go by my of-fi ce,” said Sylta Hellner.
Th e Adult Day Pro-gram operates Monday to Friday and supports older adults in their desire to remain in the community. Th e servic-es they provide include health and personal care, as well as thera-peutic activities.
“We are very excited to be working with the auxiliary on raising the funds for this much needed bus that will be used for the ADP at Fra-ser Canyon Lodge,” said
Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation Ex-ecutive Director, Liz Harris.
Th e state of the art bus will always have one care aide or LPN available while patients are on it, or Activity Staff that are trained in fi rst aid. Clients will be picked up at the start of the day and returned home when the pro-gram ends at 2:30 p.m.
During their time in the program, clients have access to nurs-ing services (which in-cludes baths,) mobility exercises, social inter-action, a lunch and two snacks.
“Th e Fraser Hope Lodge residents have the opportunity to par-ticipate in off site events that enable them to stay connected to the com-munity. Th ese activities are organized through the Fraser Hope Lodge activities team on a reg-ular basis. Having a bus that meets the unique needs of the residents
including wheelchair access, enables them to be involved and enjoy these interactive experi-ences,” said Corina Vogt Manager Clinical Ser-vices.
Fraser Hope Lodge residents will be able to utilize the bus to go out on day trips while community clients are at the Lodge for the
day program. Th e Hope Auxiliary and Hospital staff were successful in March having raised a total of $10,000 in funds through a fashion show.
“Do I enjoy the bus outings? You bet your boots I do! It gets me outta here, and on the road — I love being on the road, just the driv-ing itself. I used to do a
lot of driving, but then I had to give it up,” said Fraser Hope Lodge Res-ident Nick Yadernuk.
“I just love the sen-sation of being on the road, the bump of the wheels under me, and all the beauty of the world out the windows — we live in such a beautiful place, don't you think?”

Passion has been a word in the English lexicon for many years. Originally it was a word associated with suff ering, as in the Passion of the Christ; a suff ering that passes all human under-standing. He chose to suf-fer for humankind.
Today the word is more associated with an undertaking that brings great joy and satisfac-tion. When we think of someone who is engaged in their passion we think of a person who is enthu-siastic and committed to the activities that give them great satisfaction.
Sadly the word has also been hijacked by mar-keters. Now companies are passionate about ev-erything from furniture to fl ooring. I know that there are people who are passionate about furni-ture. But I don’t think they work at warehouse big-box companies.
I have a friend who makes one-off pieces, by hand. From selecting the woods, to designing the product, to fi nishing it, my friend is excited about what he is creating. Pas-sion goes further than a career. It becomes an as-pect of the whole person. It becomes more than what you do. It becomes part of who you are. Working as a case man-ager for the past 20 years I have seen thousands of clients. It is amazing how people become engaged with their passion. With this passion they are able to achieve their personal goals. Th ey are excited and full of life. Th eir pas-sion becomes the engine to drive the vehicle of their career.
Passion is not always about a specifi c career or vocation. It can also be about the way you do things. A person may work in a large Informa-tion Technology organi-zation but their real pas-sion is about how they collaborate with others. Th e it interests them but what really excites them is watching an idea grow and blossom through the cooperation of colleagues bringing their specialties to the team.
Passion is also some-thing that can live out-side your employment. Th ere are people fi ghting for social rights and free-doms. Th ere are people dedicated to maintain the environment of sav-ing creatures or opposing the consumption of meat. Th ese people are driven to make the world a bet-
ter place. Th ey aren’t nec-essarily interested in that issue as an occupation because they can give their energy to it when they not at work. Th is could be true of most
any pursuit whether for justice or recreation, peo-ple can fi nd themselves deeply engaged in some-thing they love doing with little need to make a living at it. However,
there are some in society who not only get to do what they love but they also get paid handsomely to do it. Actors are pas-sionate about their work. When we think of fi lm
stars, we don’t think of them as doing a job. But they get paid, very well, to carry out a task. For those who have made it to the silver screen, most have achieved an amazing
dream. Many seek dif-fi cult roles and struggle to create their character. Th at is hard work.
Th is is no diff erent in most any fi eld. People who are passionate about
their work are constantly trying to deepen their knowledge or push their body to the limits.
Th ey are excited about trying to meet the next challenge.

FinanceInvesting wisely in your portfolio
Canadians have many options when it comes to managing their investment portfolios. Most opt for full-service invest-ments fi rms while others choose discount brokerages or robo advisor services. Th ose choosing to go it alone should make sure they fully understand their options before proceeding.
I recently received an email from an elderly gentleman who was very concerned about his situation. He’d been work-ing with another advisor but was so disappointed with the quality of advice that he pulled his portfolio and decided to fl y solo. Investing quickly became his full time job and, where he was once enjoying his retirement, he was instead burdened with the task of monitoring his investments and sift ing through some rather misleading information.
In his quest for knowledge, he read articles on various websites and subscribed to a number of newsletter writers. Unfortunately, many of these sources are obscure day trad-ers, whose intentions appear to be more about accumulating
subscription fees than providing valuable or correct infor-mation. As a result of being infl uenced by these subscription sites, this man’s entire investing outlook changed. A once conservative investor, he ventured into very risky territory, investing in untested futures strategies and various venture situations. And he saw his portfolio drop further.
Using a discount brokerage is analogous to any do-it-yourself undertaking; some people have the aptitude, skills and knowledge while others do not. Th e key question to con-sider is whether it’s the right move for you, and it’s important to examine all aspects of the issue.
For sophisticated investors with the time and energy re-quired to manage their portfolios, a discount brokerage might make sense. Th ese individuals are knowledgeable, confi dent in their skills, and able to separate the wheat from the chaff in analyzing data. Th ey know their comfort zone of risk and have the discipline to stay within it. Discount bro-
kerages are not all the same and these knowledgeable inves-tors are better able to assess the choices.
Th e full service model also suits sophisticated investors and tends to attract those who don’t have time to manage their portfolios. Th eir time is money better spent elsewhere. Time is just as important for investors who prefer to spend it in activities that enhance their quality of life. Both groups want the freedom of personal guidance accompanied by pro-fessional research, analysis and reporting. Th ey also want those things that discount houses cut, in order to off er lower fees, but which directly aff ect fi nancial health - tax and es-tate planning, education funding, insurance for personal and business goals, and new issue opportunities.
Deciding to change the way you invest should receive the same scrutiny as an investment purchase. Whatever you de-cide, it must be the right move. In these markets, it’s impor-tant to remain updated and know where you stand.

Experience world-class cycling inthe largest fully supported ride toever hit the Fraser Valley!
History was made last weekend when daring Ha-zel Amos, at 94, achieved the record as the oldest per-son to ever raft the Th ompson.
Just, who is this daredevil, one might ask?Th e 94-year-old from Surrey, B.C. laughs at the
notion, even though she became the oldest person ever to run the Th ompson River with Kumsheen Raft ing Resort.
She’s done it many times before, so she knew what she was getting into.
“Oh, you’re quite safe,” she said. “You just have to hang on.”
Hazel’s son Bob and daughter Margaret took a Kumsheen raft ing trip in 1974, and in subsequent years they recruited Hazel to come along with them. Th ey have been back about 20 times since.
In 2012, Bob and Margaret suggested they should all take a river run to celebrate Hazel’s 90th birthday. Th ey had no trouble convincing Hazel.
Bernie Fandrich remembers the 90th birthday trip well. He is the founder of Kumsheen, and the Fandrich family still owns and operates the resort, located northeast of Vancouver near Lytton. He has guided many of Hazel’s trips over the years.
“Hazel was sure she was the oldest person we’ve guided down the river,” he said. “We told her no, we’ve had a 93-year-old on one of our trips.”
Hazel clearly took that as a challenge. Th ey haven’t missed a year since then, and this summer Hazel set the record.
“Margaret has said to me, we don’t have to go every year, because we know we’re going when I’m 94,” she said. “I told her if she didn’t want to drive me, I’d take the bus.”
She hasn’t had to travel alone. Th ey bring a group of family and friends with them, and one year they had 17 people in their party.
As for danger, Hazel says the scariest part of the
tour is the safety briefi ng. Once the raft is on the riv-er, she feels very safe.
“Th ere’s a rope you have to hang onto,” she said. “My son sits on one side, my son-in-law on the other, and they’ve got their hands in my pockets to make sure I don’t fall over. I sit at the back of the raft be-cause it’s a lot rougher in the front.”
In all her years raft ing, she says, only one person has fallen in. She was quickly rescued.
Fandrich says the perception of risk is a big part of the thrill. “You’re on powerful moving water, and you have no control over the river. It’s exciting,” he said. “And there is an element of risk. But it’s a very very safe activity. We’ve taken well over a quarter of a million people down the river, and we’ve never had a serious injury.”
For Hazel and her family, it’s a blast. “It’s exciting! It’s lots of fun, you get soaking wet,” Hazel said. “Th e scenery’s lovely, and we’ve seen eagles, an otter, a bear, and fi sh – lots of fi sh.”
At the end of each run, Hazel is the toast of her raft ing party – family, friends, and even strangers.

Th anks to an excavator operator and a crew of volunteer brush-clear-ers, the route to two popular alpine hikes has been made a lot safer and simpler.
Th e project, led by the Hope Mountain Centre for Outdoor Learning, has shaved three kilome-tres — each way — off the hikes to the summits of Mount Wells and Mount Hope. Both peaks are ac-cessed via the forest service road, which starts just east of the junction of Highways 3 and 5.
“Th e road bed was really eroded,” said Kelly Pearce, program director of Hope Mountain Centre. “Th ere were some big, nasty boulders and some trees down — as well as sap-lings in the road bed, which had been cut back by a crew of eight vol-unteers a couple of weeks earlier.”
Traditionally, hikers could drive eight km up the road before park-ing at a landing and heading onto the trails.
“Th ere was a really bad section at kilometre 5, so that would mean hiking an extra three kilometres each way on an ugly logging road,” said Pearce. “Th at would make it a
lot less likely to get hiked.“Mount Hope is such an iconic
peak, it seemed almost immoral to not be able to hike it. Th ese are two important trails.”
Keith Lasser, of Tri-West Con-tracting used an excavator with a variety of bucket styles and put a day and a half of work into the road ren-ovation, aided by a few volunteers.
Th e Cascade Lower Canyon Community Forest, a three-way partnership of Yale First Nation, the District of Hope and the Fraser Val-ley Regional District, provided the project funding, said Pearce.
“Keith improved six kilometres of road and rebuilt the water bars from kilometre 1 to 6, so water won’t run down the road,” added Pearce. “Th ere used to be one log bridge but now you can basically drive through the creek.”
He stressed that it’s strictly a four-wheel-drive road, though ATVs and motorcycles could also make it through. “Two-wheel-drives could do damage, spinning their tires and tearing up the road,” he said.
Drivers with wide or shiny ve-hicles may want to wait a while, to give volunteers time to clip back the scratchy alder and willow branches
that crowd in from the sides in some sections. If you’ve got a “bush bug-gy” the road is yours, starting now.
“From the trailhead, Mount Hope is four kilometres, one way, with a 670-metre elevation gain,” said Pearce.
For a person of average physical fi tness, set aside six hours for a day hike.
“Wells Peak is two-and-a-half ki-lometres one way, with a 680-metre elevation gain,” he said. “Both have similarly spectacular views, though Mount Hope has the view of Hope.
“Mount Hope is a fairly well-defi ned trail, while Wells Peak is a scramble up an open scree slope to the peak. You can hike them right into October, depending on where the snow line lies.
“People can defi nitely camp over-night,” added Pearce. “Th ere are two tarns (alpine ponds) on Mount Hope that you can fi lter water from.
“In a nice weather window, it’s an amazing thing to see the sun set and rise from the top of Mount Hope,” said Pearce, who has camped there, tentless.
“And you know, Hope looks really beautiful at night — like a glittering jewel.”

The Hope Mountain Centre for Outdoor Learning is renovating the access road and trails leading to the summits of Mount Hope and Wells Peak. Hikers can now drive eight kilometres up the forest service road, taking six km off their hikes. Program director Kelly Pearce advises that it is not suitable for two-wheel-drive vehicles.

Augustine, Carl LennardAugust 25, 1938 – July 5, 2016
Carl Lennard Augustine, 77, of Hope, BC passed away July 5, 2016 at Fras-er Canyon Hospital. Born in Chilli-wack to Gus and Olga Augustine, one of nine siblings, Carl lived in Hope for over 50 years with his wife, Del, and daughters Cindy and Val.
Carl worked most of his life, hired while a teenager, on the Tug Boats towing log booms on the Fraser River. He loved the great outdoors, spend-
ing time camping with family, exploring new trails on his quad and had a love for gardening.
Carl is survived by his loving family – wife Del of 56 years, daugh-ters Cindy (Dan), Val (Craig), grandchildren Whitney (Chris), Travis, Chetwynd, Kyle (Danielle), Brad, great granddaughter Blakely, 3 sisters, one sister-in-law, many nieces and nephews and his faithful dog Roxy.
No service is being held at this time as requested by Carl.
