Seabird Island Band and Fraser Cascade School District (#78) recently signed a Local Education Agreement with a commitment to First Nations student achievement, strong literacy and numeracy, high graduation rates and a supportive educational environment which values Stó:lō language and cul-ture. Th is agreement builds on the success of the partnership between Seabird and SD78 that has seen a rise in graduation rates of 35 per cent a de-cade ago to 65 per cent today. Th e LEA governs the educational relationship between Seabird and SD78 for some 65 students that attend public school.

Th e Local Education Agreement (LEA 2015) was built on a landmark agreement negotiated in 2013 which focused not only on district approaches, but also individual school approaches. It featured a de-

tailed commitment to measurable results and pro-moted openness, communication and a partnership between Band, District, School and home. As part of the LEA, the Band, Schools and District meet quarterly to discuss results and collaborate to ad-dress issues that stand in the way of student success. Th is agreement places even more focus on measur-ing results, promoting strong attendance, and see-ing strong collaboration between schools and First Nations parents.

Chief Clement Seymour and Seabird Island Band have long been passionate advocates of education that promotes strong collective relationships and high standards.

“Th is agreement builds on the success that we have seen over the last number of years raising lit-eracy and numeracy, seeing many more graduates and ensuring that our children and their culture and

language is valued in the public school system," said Chief Seymour. "In light of the recent release of the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Com-mission of Canada (2015) and its accounting of the devastating eff ects of residential schools, this kind of relationship is a positive move forward and one which provides a positive future for our children.”

Ron Johnstone, Chair of the Fraser Cascade School District stated, “We are pleased to be able to continue the eff ective working relationship with Seabird Island Band. 

During every LEA discussion that has taken place there has been one common and impor-tant theme; we are all here to make a diff erence for the children. Both parties are committed to doing everything possible to ensure that Sea-bird students are provided excellent opportuni-ties to succeed in our schools.”

Smoke chokes region, prompting warnings News

Jeff NagelBlack Press

An air quality advisory issued Sunday aft ernoon for Metro Vancouver is continuing and has been extended to the Fraser Valley as a result of smoke blowing into the region from wildfi res raging across B.C.

Metro Vancouver air quality planner Geoff Doerksen said fi ne particulate concentrations from the smoke have hit levels never seen before across the entire Lower Mainland.

"Seeing these heavy smoke levels mix down to the ground is unprecedented for our region," he said.

Th e air quality objective for fi ne particulate is 25 micrograms per cubic metre measured as a 24-hour rolling average.

Readings four times that level – 100 micrograms or higher – were recorded Monday morning at sta-tions in North Vancouver, Burnaby and Vancouver, where the highest reading of 121.6 was at Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children.

Other areas with particulatel levels double to tri-ple the objective included Surrey at 81.7, Langley at 67.2, Abbotsford at 66.2 and Chilliwack at 50. Hope was less smoky at 10.

"We've never seen this before," Doerksen said. "We're exceed-ing our fi ne particulate objectives at all of our stations in Metro Vancouver as well as our Fraser Valley stations."

Metro saw elevated particulate in 2012 – with readings briefl y spiking towards but not above 100 – as a result of smoke from wildfi res in Siberia. Th ere was also more localized smoke in 2005 from a fi re in Burns Bog.

Th ere's no single fi re to blame for the smoke.Signifi cant amounts of smoke are coming into the Lower Main-

land from fi res burning west of Pemberton.But nearby fi res are also burning on Vancouver Island and on

the Sunshine Coast near Sechelt.And offi cials say more distant fi res burning elsewhere in the

B.C. Interior and beyond have also brought smoke here because of a lack of wind blowing onshore from the ocean.

"Th e winds have been shift ing quite a bit in the last couple of days," Doerksen said.

"Some of our computer models show smoke as far as Alberta and the Northwest Territories aff ecting our area."

He said there are two smoke layers – one ground level and one higher aloft – aff ecting the Metro area, with upper level smoke coming from more distant sources.

Th e hazy conditions are expected to persist until there's a change in the current weather pattern.

But as of Monday, hot, sunny weather is currently forecast to persist through the week.

Even worse, lightning is possible Th ursday night in the Man-ning Provincial Park area, according to Coastal Fire Centre infor-mation offi cer Ellie Dupont.

Th e smoke blotted out the sun in much of the region and there have been reports of ash falling over a wide area.

"People from Port Hardy and Salt Spring Island and many other areas have been calling in saying there's ashes all over their decks and their boats," Dupont said.

Provincial offi cials are considering a ban on the use of ATVs and motorcycles in the backcountry to

prevent more fi res from being sparked."A lot of forest companies have shut down their private lands

and put up gates," Dupont added."We're hoping with all the smoke more people will think about

the fi res that are burning and be more careful," she said.Th ere have been 85 fi res so far in the Coastal fi re region this

year. Fourteen new ones have been sparked since Sunday and three of them were caused by people.

Th e province is bringing back all fi refi ghting crews it had previ-ously sent to Alaska and the Northwest Territories. Aft er a couple of days of rest, they'll be back in action battling B.C. wildfi res.

Advice on beating the smoke

People with chronic underlying medical conditions should postpone strenuous exercise until the air quality advisory is lift ed, according to the regional district.

Staying indoors and in air conditioned spaces helps to reduce fi ne particulate exposure.

Exposure is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly and those who have diabetes, and lung or heart disease.

People suff ering from the eff ects of the degraded air quality are advised to:

• Stay in a cool, air-conditioned environment and reduce other indoor sources of air pollution such as smoking and vacuum-ing.

• Run an air cleaner. Some room air cleaners, such as HEPA fi lters, can help reduce indoor particulate levels.

• Take shelter in air-conditioned buildings that have large indoor volumes and limited entry of outdoor air.

Th is is the second air quality advisory issued in the region this year. An earlier one lasting two days in June was due to ground-level ozone. Avoiding the use of gas-powered mowers and other equipment, and taking transit or carpooling instead of driving can avoid further adding to the region's air pollution problem.

An air quality advisory issued Sunday afternoon for the Vancouver area has been extended to the Fraser Valley, including Hope, which rated 10 on the air quality scale.

Record pace set for fire seasonNews

Tom FletcherBlack Press

Th e B.C. government has spent more than $80 mil-lion so far this year battling forest fi res, on a pace for one of the worst fi re seasons on record.

Th ere were 27 new fi re starts reported in B.C. on Sunday alone, with 184 active fi res being fought across the province and nine evacuation alerts and orders in eff ect as of Monday aff ecting 800 homes.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the unusual ear-ly dry spell has provincial costs running ahead of 2003, where devastating fi res at Barriere near Kamloops and in the Okanagan destroyed or damaged 238 homes and burned 12 wooden trestles in the Myra Canyon stretch of the historic Kettle Valley Railway.

Th e 2009 fi re season is the most expensive on record, with $382 million spent, compared to $375 million in 2003. Th ose years also saw prolonged drought, but it set in later in the summer.

A tree-faller was killed Sunday while working on a fi re on the Sunshine Coast, the latest reminder of the danger of fi refi ghting. In 2010, two air tanker pilots were killed, and a helicopter pilot died fi ght-ing a fi re in 2009.

Th ere is no budget limit for forest fi re expendi-tures. While the costs have to be accounted for aft er the season, de Jong said he is more concerned with the continued carelessness of people despite the fi -nancial and human costs.

"I was driving down the highway yesterday and I saw someone throw a cigarette out of their car," de Jong

said. "Give your head a shake. I don't know what is wrong with people who wantonly put other people's lives and property at risk."

B.C. has oft en lent its experienced fi re crews to other jurisdictions, but in 2009 more than 1,800 people were brought in from most other provinces, the U.S. and even Austra-lia and New Zealand.

Th at may be more diffi cult this season, with severe conditions across Western Canada. In Sas-katchewan, where 12,000 people have fl ed their homes, Premier Brad Wall announced Monday that up to 1,000 Canadian Forces troops may be called in to help.

2013CCNABLUE

Th e man behind “HarperPAC” says it lived and died in a few days to make a point about third-party advertising in Canadian politics.

When it launched, I wondered why he would choose such a deliberately pro-vocative name. No, not “Harper,” but the acronym for “Political Action Commit-tee,” which has come to symbolize the fi nancial excesses of U.S. politics.

HarperPAC ran one radio ad, accusing Liberal leader Justin Trudeau of blam-ing voters for his declining popularity, and suggesting that Trudeau’s “months of mistakes” are a likelier cause. No kidding.

HarperPAC spokesman Stephen Taylor, who like Stephen Harper before him has worked for the National Citizens’ Coalition, announced the end of the project last week.“We have contributed to a new discussion about political fi nancing in a fi xed election era that is critical to our democracy,” Taylor said. “We note that this discussion only occurred once a right-wing analog of the left ’s PAC-style eff orts emerged on the scene.” Indeed, it was when HarperPAC emerged that muttering began about “dark money” in Canadian politics. Unifor, Anti-Conservative front LeadNow and the many faces of the Tides Foundation somehow failed to ignite much discussion in the Canadian media. Taylor launched the bid in response to the emergence of “Engage Canada,” a union-fi nanced action committee that he said was part of a broader eff ort by the left to oust the Conservatives. Engage Canada portrays itself as a brave alternative to shadowy right-wing groups such as Working Canadians, which has also run pro-Conservative ads.

Engage Canada’s latest ad plays on the union movement’s cherished “inequal-ity” theme, selecting statistics to portray the wealthy as making out far better than the rest of us in Harper’s Canada. (Th e notion that “inequality” can and should be fi xed by ever-higher taxes on “the rich” staggers on, zombie-like, as if capitalism was the cause of poverty.)Two recent developments have led to all this. Scheduled elections every four years have fi nally taken eff ect at the federal level, aft er a series of minority governments. And courts have repeatedly struck down eff orts to restrict third-party spending in the so-called “pre-campaign” pe-riod as an unwarranted restriction on free speech.

Th e B.C. Liberal government tried and failed several times to restrict third party spending, largely in response to the million-dollar tirades of the teachers’ union. Former attorney general Wally Oppal used to warn about American-style infl uence by wealthy interest groups targeting scheduled elections.Th eir strategy was not so much to keep corporate money out of B.C. politics as to keep it fl ow-ing through the B.C. Liberal Party. Th is spring the B.C. Liberal majority passed Bill 20, the Election Amendment Act. Not only did this recognize the freedom of outsiders to weigh in on elections, it also did away with pre-campaign restric-tions on registered political parties and candidates.

Black Press

Tom FletcherBlack Press

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau came to Vancouver last week to unveil his environ-mental platform for the Oct. 19 federal elec-tion.

Trudeau promised an overhaul of the National Energy Board and a vaguely de-fi ned intention to work with provinces to im-pose a “price” on carbon dioxide emissions across the country.

Trudeau’s media tour took him to the Burnaby facilities of General Fusion, where, like Premier Christy Clark a few weeks be-fore, he stood at his podium before a pro-totype fusion reactor. Th is massive octopus of pistons and wires is an attempt to capture the nuclear reaction that powers the Sun and other stars, containing its fury within steel walls and magnetic fi elds.

Th e old joke about controlled fusion is that every 20 years, scientists tell us it’s just 20

years away. If it ever is developed, such a pro-cess could quickly put an end to our hand-wringing about fossil fuels, largely replacing them with endless, emission-free energy.

Th is is the type of technological revolu-tion that Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s offi cials indicated would be needed, aft er Canada announced a pledge with other G7 leaders to make their economies carbon-free by 2100. Th at’s right, some time within the next 85 years. Clark visited General Fusion in May to announce her new climate action advisory panel, which has to give her a plan to take to Paris next December.

Th at’s the next big United Nations climate summit, where Trudeau hopes to lead a del-egation of premiers to stop the fl ow of “fossil awards” given to Canada by people in polar bear suits.

Asked about the fusion reactor she had just toured, Clark laughed off the question, comparing it to the “fl ux capacitor” used for time travel in the Michael J. Fox movie Back

to the Future.Trudeau recently told university students

that we need to change our concepts of time and space, and he didn’t seem to be kidding.

Th e point here for voters is that all these leaders, Harper, Trudeau, Clark and many others, are talking down to you. You aren’t sophisticated enough to understand this cli-mate business. Th e Pope has weighed in, as-suring us that carbon trading systems are not going to cut it. Th is is a rebuke to California, Quebec and the European Union, where ef-fective carbon trading is, like controlled fu-sion, just around the corner.

Pope Francis warned that our “throwaway culture” views nature “solely as a source of profi t and gain” and so people won’t volun-tarily do the right thing. (Th e results of the Metro Vancouver transit plebiscite could be interpreted this way, if you ignore the bum-bling, waste and political posturing that re-ally did it in.)

Th e Pope concludes that there is “an ur-

gent need” for a “true world political author-ity” to impose order on the greedy capitalist humans that infest our beautiful planet. Pre-sumably this would be the run by the UN, so my advice is to start hoarding candles and cat food now.

B.C.’s frozen carbon tax has ceased to have much eff ect, with gasoline consumption back up over 2008 levels amid the usual volatility of prices. Gasoline is going for around $1.30 a litre, despite the prolonged slump in crude oil prices, and people have basically forgot-ten about this tax on top of all the other gas taxes.

Perhaps B.C. can brag in Paris about the Pacifi c Carbon Trust, which limps along af-ter its near-death experience in 2013.

Th e trust continues to divert tax dollars from B.C. government operations to pur-ported carbon-saving activities, including paying coastal First Nations not to log the portions of forests that they demanded be preserved.

Socializing in the fire department is a big deal in my mind. I was chief for a time and had 20 members in Hall One and there were 20 in each of the two other Halls.

Glenn Wejr, a long time Hope resident, business man and former fire-fighter, paid me a very nice compliment last week saying the 25 years he belonged to the Dept. were the best years of his life (wow.)

Things we did while I was chief:

• kids picnic at 6th Ave park – we let the kids ride on the fire truck with sirens and lights on

• Christmas parties with Santa – Neil Martin and John Linza looked after the food – we never went hungry

• golf & curling parties• we installed 50 smoke detectors with the help of the Hope Lions Club,

in the senior citizen's home and homes that didn't have them

• Cheyenne Sports organized Slow Pitch with 32 teams signing up. The Fire Depts had four teams. Glenn even let me play a couple of innings in right field. The rest of the time I sat in the dug out and watched Al Trick hit it out of the park and Emil Farlin playing short stop.

• Booze in the fire halls – at the Fire Chief 's convention, which I at-tended many times on the taxpayer's money (thanks,) the topic of alcohol in halls often came up with many positive remarks.

I believe there should be time for a beer in the firehall after a fire to talk over what was good and bad (even the quiet guys talked after a couple of cold ones.)

Mr. Mayor, all we are asking is for you to look into the fire department. The job we elected you to do is to lead not to criticize. We need all the fire-fighters we have (even the one with the beard.)

PS. When is the next election? PPS. Alcohol – because no great story started with someone eating salad! Wilfried, shake your head.

Letters

According to a report in the Vancouver Sun, the Surrey Fire Department responded to 60 small fi res last Sunday, all of which were caused by care-less smoking.

Here in Hope, we can tell people using the trails to leash their dogs and to pick up aft er them. We can warn the community about falling branches in windy conditions, but we apparently can’t put up NO SMOKING signs warning of the extreme fi re danger.

My original letter written on June 25, was polite and not critical of the fi re chief or anybody else for that matter.

It gave him, however, the opportunity to tell us how well prepared, in terms of equipment and fi re-fi ghters, the fi re department is to deal with a wild fi re emergency.

His silence should be of concern to us all. It may mean that as the crucial fi rst responder, he does not have the means to fi ght a wild fi re. He poten-

tially has to rely on outside help instead with an inevitable and perhaps fatal delay.

If that’s the situation, shouldn’t the fi re chief tell us?

Gosh it is hard to think about an upcoming national election while in the midst of summer. With so many things to see and do, summer trips, barbecues and par-ties, the beach and reunions, it is the furthest thing from our minds.

However, some of us might fi nd that we have more time on our hands - an excellent opportunity to ask our local MP's about their party's platform. I, for one, want to know which party will commit to getting us closer to the goal of 0.7% of GNI for international aid spending. Please note that 0.7% is LESS THAN 1%! Can we not fi nd it in our hearts and in our pockets to give those less fortunate a hand-up?

Our aid contributions stand at just 0.24% of GNI, and have dropped from $5.65 billion in 2012, to $5 bil-lion in 2013, to $4.2 billion in 2014. Meanwhile, the UK has passed a bill that enshrines in law its commitment to spend 0.7% of its gross national income (GNI) on aid every year, making it the fi rst G7 country to meet the UN’s 45-year-old aid spending target.

In 2013, only fi ve other countries – Sweden, Norway,

Luxembourg, Denmark and the United Arab Emirates – had met or exceeded the 0.7% aid spending target. Th e Netherlands had consistently met the target, but fell short in 2013. Canada must prioritize international development by committing to increasing our aid spending to 0.7% of our Gross National Income by the year 2020. C'mon, pull yourself away from the barbe-cue or hammock for just a few minutes, or maybe an hour and do a little research so that you are armed for that fall election.

Roasting Rempel — it’s time to give back to the man who gave so much to his students and the community of Hope

Education in the 60’s and a man who defined itCommunity

Erin KnutsonHope Standard

Th e fi rst thing I no-ticed about a cheerful looking man that en-tered my offi ce at Th e Hope Standard on a fateful day a few weeks back was a kind sparkle in a pair of mercurial blue eyes and a bounce in a confi dent and

world trodden step, as he proudly extended his hand and intro-duced himself with a beaming and gracious smile as David Rempel.

Not knowing the ex-tent of his accomplish-ments, I had no way of knowing that Rempel was indeed, Dr. Dave Rempel, who was born on September 3rd, 1938 in a little town in Southern Ukraine at the foot of the junction near the Black Sea.

He immigrated to Canada in 1949 with his mother Anna (who according to Rem-pel was beautiful, ex-tremely independent and very much alone throughout her life) as a result of the ramifi ca-tions of World War II.

Ever modest in his approach — the wiry and polished teacher, Rotarian, School Board Trustee member, hus-band to Sharon Kin-caid (who kept her surname) and father of two (Jacqlyn and Julya — both adopted and who carry the name-sake Anna in honour of his late mother) has an energy that can only be described as infectious.

Rempel is clearly a man on a mission, as he proceeded with an air of confi dence to describe his grand scheme to bring former students of Coquihalla Elementary School to-gether, as well as the community of Hope to have himself roasted in an event called Rem-

pel’s Roast. Th e roast will be an opportunity to get back at Rempel for his extraordinary teaching methods (in-cluding an infamous duck walk, which was given as punishment to students for missing gym strip or tardiness.)

“I bet you can’t guess how old I am,” he said of his appearance, which has changed little over the decades that fol-lowed his sevenyear reign at Coquihalla El-ementary School from 1964 to 1971 — a side note taken from several conversations with for-mer students on Rem-pel’s timelessness.

Baffl ed, I stare at a Rempel who could pass gracefully for a man in his early 60’s and do the only reasonable thing I can, I shrug my shoulders.

“It’s good genes,” said the 77-year-old, as

he smiled back at my stupefi ed expression. Rempel’s love and pas-sion for life, are clearly a recipe for good health and seem to have held the terrible hand of fa-ther time at bay.

Carrying with him on our fi rst meeting was an elegant tan coloured briefcase, a briefcase full of pho-tographs and letters pertaining to a glorious era for students and teachers alike, a time not forgotten, but per-haps made murky with the dust that’s settled over four decades.

One thing was clear as he held the brief-case as carefully as one might hold a lost trea-sure, Rempel had spent a lot of time collecting keepsakes from his stu-dents over the years. He started to describe the mysterious con-tents:

Each letter (Rempelhas dozens of hand-written letters fromstudents) and photo-graphs came alive ashe recalled varioussports teams, intra-murals, zany, carefreeand totally uninhibitedred-tape-free outings(some that ended indisaster, but most weresuccessful) to excitinglocations like Seattleand even Russia.

He recited the tri-als and triumphs of hisstudents at CoquihallaElementary Schoolduring the late 60’s.Faces of boys and girlssmiled back at me fromthe pictures, some withtrophies, others hang-ing out, or sporting thetraditional bowl cut ofthe 60’s and the timerevealing knee highgym socks.

Somewhere over the rainbowCommunity

One of his letters reads:

“Dear Mr. Rempel, I am writing on behalf of the Youth Walk to thank you for letting us have the money for the walk and for helping us so much,” said Sharon Simpson, former Coquihalla Elemen-tary student.

It was a golden era, where Rempel thrived as a hands-on teacher, who never tired of his students or spending time with them aft er school, during the many extra cur-ricular activities that he oft en organized. Th ese activities are not as easy to come by in today’s education system, a system according to Rempel that has gotten caught up in bureaucracies that made the freedom he and his student’s enjoyed in the 60’s almost im-possible by today’s standards.

“I remember the duck walk,” said Tara Croft on, for-mer Coquihalla Elementary student. “You only did it once and that was enough, it was a sort of punishment — my quads still hurt.”

Th e punishment required kids to squat into a duck like position and walk back and fourth across the length of

the gym.“He had a way of inspiring

faith in someone and increas-ing a student’s confi dence,” said Croft on, of Rempel’s ability to encourage the tal-ents and abilities of his stu-dents. “He thought outside of the box.”

Th e sports enthusiast, also spent some time as a stage manager for school theatre productions in a bid to stop a war with the drama and music teacher about access to the gym. Rempel taught all subjects, along with his forte, which was physical education.

He spoke candidly about his one time dream of be-coming a minister, but in-stead used his Bachelors in Education from UBC to min-ister to hundreds of kids.

“It energized me,” he said. “It’s about giving — you get more out of giving.”

Th e vibrant patriarch and Mennonite who cites his faith as a huge source of in-spiration and a steady stream feeding his outgoing nature, calls Maple Ridge home and is also a pioneer of BC EMU Industry. He houses a bird sanctuary that has seen over 3,500 visitors on a plot of land

near water, which is where he envisioned spending the qui-et period of his life — though Rempel seems to continue at a fervent pace that people half his age might balk at.

“My wife gave me a fl ock of black swans for Valentine’s Day,” Rempel nonchalantly mentions of the couple’s love of wildlife. My jaw drops, as I try to wrap my head around the romantic imagery of be-ing gift ed a gaggle of the black feathered beauties.

Rempel continues without missing a beat, listing name aft er name of his former stu-dents and the amazing trips they took including over-night camping trips, cycling trips and the time he slept in.

“I still remember the prin-cipal at the time coming over to my house — he never let me forget it,” he said of his rare late appearance. “Th e kids were scheduled to go to the library and went with-out me — proper education teaches independence.”

He continued to list a dozen diff erent names of kids, including their abili-ties and accomplishments — which he still remembers in great detail.

“He’s very loyal to his

friends and I’ve known him for approximately 60 years,” said Vern Giesbrecht, long time friend of Rempel’s. “He’s always had a lot of energy and he’s always on the go — he takes on a lot of projects and he had a great infl uence, not just on the kids, but the teacher’s as well.”

Th e life enthusiast also managed Rainbow’s End a local band Hope resident and former student Victor Smith played in for a few years.

“He was always fun and made jokes and stayed positive,” said Smith. Smith played the organ and chalked the experience up to a great time that gave him the ability to learn about teamwork, interacting with people and communicating ideas to the crowd.

All former Coquihalla classmates and the commu-nity of Hope are cordially invited to roast the heck out of Dave at Rempel’s Roast. Th e event will be held at the Hope Curling Rink on Sat-urday, July 25th at 7 p.m. For further information please contact Dave at 604-462-7563.

From 8

Rempel successfully managed the band Rainbow’s End in the late 60’s and gave the band a rehearsal space, at his house. Band member Victor Smith (bottom right,) remembers various gigs with fondness.

Stop hiding behind the cameraOpinion

Lori WelbourneColumnist

Last week I was interviewed by a newspaper reporter for the “Stop Dog Th eft ” event I was planning and he asked for a picture of me with our beloved pup who’s been missing since March. Before I even started looking I warned him the chances weren’t good.

 I knew I had tons of photos from the last fi ve years of Charlie with his sister, and with our children, but even though I was with the dogs the majority of the time, I wasn’t sure if I’d ever had my picture taken with either one of them. Aft er reviewing thousands of images in my comput-er, I was disappointed that I couldn’t fi nd any.

  A few weeks before that I went through a similar exercise when it was the birthday of my dearly de-parted mother and I wanted to post a picture on Facebook of me alone with her. I could only fi nd two, and neither one was great.

 Since my daughter’s birthday was approaching I also started looking for photos of just her and I to-gether and wasn’t able to fi nd many.

 “Remind me to give you the camera,” I told my husband when he came home that night. “I’m in hardly any of our pictures with the kids and they’re going to be saddened by that one day.”

  “You’ve mentioned that before,” he said. “Th e problem is you never like getting your picture tak-en.” He was right. I don’t, and I almost always object. I know all too well that taking pictures of someone who’s trying to avoid the camera isn’t fun or easy.

 My 14 year old son, Sam has become one of those people.

 He didn’t used to be like that. He used to be like his 12 year old sister, Daisy who hams it up when-ever the camera’s on her. But in the last few years he’s quick to hide his face and I’ve noticed most of his friends do the same.

 “No, mom,” he’ll say behind his hands whenever I attempt to take his picture. “Later.” He must have learned that from me. Now I threaten I won’t leave him alone until he lets me get a good shot. I also

promise not to post any images online without his approval.

 “One day you’ll be happy you have these photos of you with your friends,” I said to him and his bud-dies while they complained about us parents taking their pictures at middle school graduation a couple weeks ago.

  Now I need to get myself out from behind the camera and in front of it once in awhile. I can’t worry about not looking good enough either. Good enough for what?

My kids aren’t going to care if I’m not picture per-fect any more that I cared if my mother was. Th ey’ll just be happy to have photos of themselves with their dear old mom. Of course they’ll want them with their dad, relatives, teachers, friends and dogs as well, but I’ve done a decent job providing them with plenty of those.

  Photographs are powerful. Th ey capture our memories and connect us to the people, places, events and emotions that make us who we are. It’s important we leave our children with pictures of us because we’re a huge part of their lives. We might not love looking at ourselves in a photo album, but they will cherish them.

For children and teenagers in BC, coping well with the demands of school work, busy schedules and social relationships in today's chaotic world refl ects resilient mental health. But some BC chil-dren and youth are unable to cope well with the daily stresses of their lives and the results can be debili-tating or tragic.

An estimated 13 per cent of youth in BC each year experi-ence a mental health issue —that means up to 83,700 children un-der the age of 19 in BC may be suf-fering. Studies show that receiving appropriate help at the right time may enable a child or youth to re-turn to good health or prevent the escalation of symptoms, warding off larger crises or more chronic illnesses, and even at times saving young lives.

But unfortunately, the majority of youth experiencing a mental health issue, or their families, do not seek help. Why is this? Th ere are likely a number of key factors:

youth and family may lack under-standing about mental health is-sues or may be unable to recognise the symptoms of a mental health problem; they may not know how to access the right services, who to see, or how to navigate BC's men-tal health system; they may be worried about possible stigma, or labelling, and hoping it is simply a "phase" that will pass.

As an adolescent and adult psychiatrist working for the last 11 years in Interior Health (IH), I appreciate how frightening and worrying it can be for youth and families when a mental health is-sue arises.

But I also know that the right help can make all the diff erence and that good recovery is pos-sible even with some of the most serious of mental health concerns. And "help" does not always mean treatment with medication. In fact, many mental health prob-lems in children and youth can be very successfully treated with oth-er techniques, particularly Cogni-tive Behavioural Th erapy (CBT), which, in essence, teaches skills to address the thoughts, feelings and

behaviors that underlie a mental health problem.

Working with a group of mental health colleagues in the Interior and on Vancouver Island—in-cluding families with lived expe-rience, mental health clinicians from the Ministry of Children and Family Development, health authority professionals, school counsellors, family doctors, pe-diatricians and others — we have come up with a series of short col-umns to run in this paper to help youth and families recognize and understand some common men-tal health concerns. In 10 articles, we will talk about issues like anxi-ety, depression, substance use, eat-ing disorders, obsessive compul-sive disorder, schizophrenia and family support.

We will help you recognize the symptoms and know when and how to seek help. We will talk about successful skills, actions and treatments.

Th ese columns, as well as run-ning in your local paper, can also be found at http://www.sharedcarebc.ca so you can access them online or share with friends and family.

Fire in the sky: How pet-prepared are you for emergencies

Community

Story contributed by Tricia LeslieBC SPCA

 With the Fraser Valley and much of B.C. covered with a thick haze of forest fi re smoke, the BC SPCA is encouraging animal guardians to refresh their emergency pet preparedness. Several new wildfi res as well as old ones have caused evacuation orders and states of emergency in several B.C. commu-nities, prompting people to leave their homes as quickly as possible.

“When you’re ordered to evacuate, you need to do it as soon as possible, and people don’t necessar-ily think about their pet in an emergency situation until it’s too late,” says BC SPCA general manager of community relations Lorie Chortyk. “You don’t have time to gather up everything you need if you have to get out of your home right away.”

Evacuations are usually a busy time for staff and volunteers at the province’s BC SPCA branches, as they provide extra shelter, pet food and pet-related equipment such as crates and leashes for pet guard-ians and animals.

“When you’re in a hurry, it can be easy to forgot feeding bowls, food, leashes, everything,” Chortyk says. “Th at’s why it’s important to plan ahead and be prepared for any emergency. People love their pets but it oft en doesn’t sink in that an emergency can happen at any time.”

Having an emergency pet kit handy is key, as well as ensuring your pet is already wearing a col-lar with up-to-date contact information, Chortyk notes. Keeping your pets inside the house so you don’t need to search for them is also a good idea, as is having emergency pet boarding plans in place.

Items to include in an emergency kit for yourpet(s) include:

·         A seven-day supply of food and water·         Identifi cation tag and collar·         Sturdy crate and/or carrier·         Pet fi rst aid kit·         Blanket/plastic bags·         Leash, harness·         Food and water bowls (collapsible are great)·         Litter box and litter for cats·         Manual can opener·         Copy of your pet’s current vaccination history·         Any special medications and instructions“No one likes to think an emergency like a

wildfire or an earthquake will happen. But in theevent it does, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared – forthemselves and for their beloved family pets,”Chortyk says.

Visit spca.bc.ca for more information, or con-tact Lorie Chortyk, general manager, communityrelations, BC SPCA, 604-647-1316 (offi ce) or 604-830-7179.

Th e BC SPCA is a non-profi t organization fundedprimarily by public donations.  Our mission is toprevent cruelty and to promote the welfare of ani-mals through a wide range of services, includingcruelty investigations, emergency rescue and treat-ment, sheltering and adoption of homeless andabused animals, humane education, advocacy, farmanimal welfare, spay/neuter programs, and wildliferescue and rehabilitation.

Death defying acts of ropery abound to combat the intense summer heat

A river adventure on the CoquihallaSports

Barry StewartHope Standard

If this hot and dry summer continues, locals and visitors may get to know the Coquihalla River very well as a place to relax and cool off.

A low snowpack and hot temperatures have combined to make the water low-er and warmer than normal for this time of year.

Debbie and Greg Pauls invited their friends to come to the Schoolhouse Rock swimming hole on Sunday and Deb-bie said she found she could stay in the water much longer than normal without getting chilled.

“The rocks were hot, too. I could hardly stand to be on them with bare feet,” said Debbie.

The Pauls have been enjoying the pool near Othello for years and they invit-ed the Viveen family, who had never been there before.

“It’s one of the places we’re proud to bring people to,” said Debbie. “They were in awe of it. It was beautiful to see their reaction.

“It didn’t take their son, Rohan, long be-fore he was jumping off the highest rock. We had gone across to the other side and Rohan swam back and returned with a Super-Soaker — then their daughter Tamyra came over with two. Lots of fun and giggles!”

Debbie said there were about 25 to 30 people, locals and visi-tors, at the swimming hole when they were there. Monday after-noon, there were about 35 at the mouth of

Sucker’s Creek, where it flows into the Co-quihalla.

A sandy beach and shallow creek mouth give supervised young kids a place to play safely, while the rocky

outcrop and deeper pool on the Coquihal-la give more challenge for the bigger kids and adults.

The early-July water volume looks more like a late-summer flow,

making it fairly easy to wade across from the River Parade side. There’s also plenty of parking at the Thacker Marsh parking lot on Union Bar Road.

Swimmers who plan

to jump from the rocks should watch the cur-rents and jump clear of submerged outcrops. The downstream half offers the safer jump-ing spots. Water socks or strap-on sandals

make it much morepleasant to walk onthe jagged shale out-crop.

The pool tapers offto a shallow depth, soyou can walk out —or you can just stayclose to the rocks anda gentle back-eddywill bring you backto the jumping spot.

A few kilometresupstream of the PeersCreek Bridge is a longand deep pool knownas the Tram BridgePool. Just beforeLear, there’s a decom-missioned tram thatonce carried techni-cians to a mountain-top telecommunica-tions tower.

Look for the red-and-white checker-board building; theBailey bridge cross-ing the river is lessthan a kilometre up-stream.

You’ll need to beon the side-road,which starts at thePeers Creek inter-change. From Othel-lo, drive under theCoquihalla Highwayand stay to the rightof the northboundon-ramp. Your easi-est river access isfrom the far side ofthe bridge.

Have fun in thewater — but remem-

ber there are no life-guards at any outdoorswimming spots in theHope area, so swim-mers need to takeprecautions and swimwithin their abilities.

Craig Daugherty had the rope swing at the Tram Bridge Pool all to himself on Monday, July 6th. When enjoying Hope’s many natural swimming holes, use abun-dant caution and swim within your abilities.

NOTICE IS GIVEN, pursuant to section 6 of the First Nations Fiscal Manage-ment Act (hereafter referred to as the “FNFMA”), that the Shxw’owhámel First Nation (“The First Nation”) proposes to enact the Shxw’owhámel First Nation Property Assessment Law, 2015 and the Shxw’owhámel First Nation Property Taxation Law, 2015 (hereafter referred to as the “Proposed Laws”).

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LAWS: The Proposed Laws are a property taxation law and a property assessment law, both made under the authority of section 5(1)(a) of the FNFMA. The property assessment law provides for the assessment and valuation of interests in land on the reserve lands of the First Nation, including appointing assessors, inspecting property, preparing assess-ment rolls, and mailing assessment notices. The property assessment law also provides a process for reconsideration of assessments and for a right of appeal to an independent assessment review board. The property taxation law estab-lishes a taxation regime that taxes interests in land in the reserve, and includes provisions for exemptions, grants, preparing tax rolls and tax notices, the levy of penalties and interest on unpaid taxes, and the collection and enforcement of unpaid taxes.

A COPY OF THE PROPOSED LAWS may be obtained from Jesse James, Band Administrator, at the Shxw’owhámel First Nation offi ces, or obtained online from the First Nations Gazette, Part I: Notices, at www.fng.ca.

COUNCIL OF THE FIRST NATION INVITES WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS regarding the Proposed Laws. Written representations may be made to the Council for 60 days after the date of this notice.

Persons wishing to make a written representation must deliver the document containing the representations to: Si:yam Council, Shxw’owhámel First Nation, 58700A St. Elmo Road, Hope, BC, V0X 1L2. Representations should be made on or before 4:00 pm, September 8, 2015 in order to ensure consideration by Coun-cil. Before making the Proposed Laws, Council will consider all written repre-sentations received in accordance with this Notice. Please note that Council is not able to extend the public notice period.

CONTACT INFORMATION: For further information or questions regarding the Proposed Laws, this Notice, or the making of written representations to Council, please contact Jesse James, Band Administrator, at 604-869-2627.
