Trash troubles plague areaKevin MillsBlack Press

Garbage has become an ongoing issue in the Silver Skagit area.

Campers, hikers, party goers and even people dumping trash they’d rath-er not pay to get rid of at the local landfi ll, are using back roads to dispose of their litter.

It’s not a new problem, but it’s one David Flexhaug would like to see stopped.

Th e Hope resident has dedi-cated count-less hours to cleaning up the area along Silver Skagit Road. Two or three times a week he and his wife Terry go out with a truck and dozens of gar-bage bags to pick up litter left behind by others.

“Th ere’s lots of grad par-ties up here at this time of year. I’ve cleaned up many already. Some people re-spect the bush and pack out what they bring in. But, a lot of the people don’t and that’s why I carry on this service,” said Flexhaug.

He is carrying on the work started by Don Bush, several years ago.

“Don wanted to know where his water source came from and came up here,” explained Flexhaug

Bush noticed things in the creek – garbage, paint cans and even a motor

home – and started com-ing up once a week to cleanup.

By chance, he ran intoFlexhaug who decided tolend a hand.

Health issues forcedBush to stop, but Flexhaughas continued on.

“Last year was the fi rstfull year doing it by my-self.”

In that year he clearedmore than 300 bags of gar-bage, four television sets,construction material andeven two freezers fi lled

with rottenfi sh.

He gets nomoney forhis eff orts.However theDistrict ofHope doesallow him totake the gar-bage he col-lects to thelandfi ll forfree.

Th e onlyproblem is aft er a hardweekend of garbage collec-tion, the dump is closed onMondays.

“I load my carport upwith garbage so the bearsdon’t get into it.”

As well as cleaning upgarbage, Flexhaug handsout garbage bags to peoplehe meets in the area andhas several garbage cansthat he monitors.

He feels the message he’strying to promote is start-ing to stick.

“People are catching on alittle bit,” he said.

Dumping continues in Silver Skagit region

David Flexhaug is a one-man cleaning crew. The local resident volunteers two to three days a week to keep the Silver Skagit Road area clean. He has taken more than 300 bags of garbage out of the forest and into the landfill.

JON’S TIP:

Constable Jon Lane Constable Jon Lane joined the Boston Bar RCMP in July 2011. He worked in the drug section at the Chilliwack detachment for three years before being transferred to Boston Bar where he now works as a general duty offi cer.

FVRD behind educational program

Bear Aware goes regionalTh e Fraser Valley Re-

gional District (FVRD) has announced the exis-tence of a new regional Bear Aware program.

Bear Aware teaches residents how to man-age and reduce bear at-tractants, and reduces the opportunity for hu-man-bear confl icts.

In 2011, Mission ini-tiated a program and signifi cantly raised awareness regarding the proper storage of waste materials. Based on last year’s success the FVRD has decided to introduce the program regionally.

“Th is is a great oppor-tunity for the regional district to assist com-munities in providing a

unifi ed message regard-ing bears, their behavior and providing the public

with educational infor-mation to reduce bear/people confl icts,” said

Sharon Gaetz, Chair, FVRD.

Lydia Koots, Chair of the Hope MountainBlack Bear Committee,will provide residents in Hope with educationalinformation to assist in the reduction of bear/people confl icts.

Annually, hundredsof bears are destroyedin B.C., as a result of people not managing attractants properly. Bears that become con-ditioned to human food oft en end up posing athreat to human safety and are destroyed.

All bear sightingsshould be reported tothe provincial RAPPline: 1-877-952-7277.

Dumping an ongoing problem

New regional Bear Aware program will provide educational information for Hope residents.

He and his wife patrol from the start of Silver Skagit Road all the way to kilometre 19.

He said it’s a large area, and sometimes a

daunting task, but as a nature lover and hunter, it’s worth it.

“Some days I come up and see the deer and the bears and it’s reward-ing.”

Other nature enthu-siasts share a similar story.

John Lang a director at the Hope Mountain Centre said several vol-unteers went out at the end of May to clean up an area by Silver Creek.

Th e group cleared ev-erything from mattress-es to picture frames, toi-lets to roof shingles.

“It’s that time of year again, when the annual spring clean up ends up being dumped into the forests, creeks and riv-ers that surround our town,” said Lang.

He said it’s an ongo-ing problem where peo-ple, not wanting to pay the landfi ll fees, merely drive into the wilder-ness and dump their garbage.

Th ere’s even one per-son who continuously drops of bags of used kitty litter.

John Fortoloczky, Hope’s chief adminis-

trative offi cer said thedistrict is aware thatthe area is oft en used for dumping. However, it is diffi cult to preventthe actions unless wit-nessed. He also noted that a majority of the Silver Skagit Road area lies outside of Hope’sboundaries.

Hope RCMP Staff Sgt.Suki Manj said they do receive the odd call re-garding dumping anddo investigate, but un-less something left be-hind can help identify the person responsible,little can be done.

We all know people for whom swearing is as natural as breathing. One of the side effects of this habit is a lower tolerance for pain. Pain can sometimes be unbearable but swearing at it will not help.

Store-bought prepared foods often have the highest sodium (salt) content. These include pizza, soups, bread, cold cuts and cured meats, prepared pasta dishes and prepared meat dishes. If you are trying to keep your salt intake down (1500mg daily is a good goal), keep your intake of these food items to a minimum. Reading

those nutrition labels will help you see how much each serving contains.

After taking our medications, our bodies excrete what isn’t needed. Does it affect our water supply? Tests done in the U.S. found that the concentrations of drugs in drinking water was at least 5 million times less than the therapeutic dose of any drug. So extremely minute amounts can be detected but pose no danger.

There have been many claims made for taking apple cider vinegar. One claim that has been studied and has shown a

bit of promise is that its use can lower blood glucose levels when taken with high carbohydrate meals. The dose studied was 2 tablespoonsful 2-3 times daily taken in a glass of water.

There are so many home remedies out there. Some have merit while others have no real effect whatsoever. Our pharmacists can help you separate truths from myth.

Officials ‘cautiously optimistic’ that danger nearing an endFlood fears decline with waterKevin MillsBlack Press

Th e water on the Fraser River reached its peak in Hope on Monday and of-fi cials are now “cautiously optimistic” that fl ooding worries can soon be put to rest.

Th e water level hit 8.84 metres at the Fraser Bridge on Monday morning with a discharge level (volume of water) of 10,000 cubic metres per second.

“We know what that looks like, it’s happened before,” said Hope fi re chief Tom DeSorcy who also holds the title of emergency preparedness coordinator.

“At this point we are keeping an eye on things, but we are not expecting any major fl ooding.”

Aft er hitting its peak Monday, the water began to go down, a trend that is expected to continue.

DeSorcy said the water levels in Prince George are declining and “what happens in Prince George happens here.”

But that doesn’t mean officials are letting down their guard. DeSorcy said that no one has de-clared the spring freshet over.

“We’ll never say all is well, but we aren’t expect-ing anything either,” he said.”

He wants to stay pre-pared for the unexpected.

“Th e river can always make things go side-ways.”

But the 8.84 metre wa-ter level is not a concern he said.

Kevin MillsBlack Press

Th e Chuck Wagon has re-turned.

Th e mobile food truck fi rst appeared in Hope in 2007 but disappeared aft er the Bolton family moved away to Mission.

Well, the Boltons are back and so is the wagon.

Th e family-based business serves Mexican and western-style street foods in the Hope area.

Melissa Bolton, along with help from Chris Bradbury, is currently running the food truck for her parents.

“We have volunteered to kind of get it going for them until Mom gets back to work,” she said.

While the truck serves all

kinds of food, Mexican cuisine is its specialty.

“My mom grew up in Cali-fornia, she’s part Mexican, and all the recipes are from her family,” explained Melissa.

Th ose recipes have been

passed down to her.Currently, the Chuck Wagon

sets up shop across from the Christ Church Historic Site, on the corner of Fraser Street and Park Street. And while the fi rst month has been successful,

Melissa said she is always look-ing for other locations.

She has already considered going to the downtown farm-er’s market and may travel to the Yale fl ea market in the summer months.

“Aft er all we are a mobile business.”

Since the return, several old customers have rediscovered the chuck Wagon and Melissa said they are building up a cli-entele of new diners.

While keen to expand, the Chuck Wagon is currently open four days a week. She said the goal is to build up enough business to remain open year round.

But Melissa doesn’t plan to expand outside of the area.

“We want to be able to keep it local.”

The Fraser River water level hit a peak of 8.84 metres on Monday. However officials feel that the threat of flooding is almost over.

Hope Flight Fest ready to soarKevin MillsBlack Press

Whether you’re a fi rst time fl ier, an avid avia-tion fan or just want the opportunity to see your community from a dif-ferent perspective, then the annual Hope Flight Fest is for you.

Th e 2012 showcase is set for June 16 at the Hope Airport and the theme of the event is “experiencing fl ight.”

Visitors can come out and purchase inexpen-

sive fl ights from Val-ley Helicopters, Grav-ity Sports Intro Tandem Hang Gliding and Van-couver Soaring Asso-ciation (gliders). Cana-dian Owners and Pilots Association (COPA) Flights For Kids contest winners can enjoy a free fl ight.

“We have 70 kids who have entered so far,” said Heather Peters, presi-dent of the Hope Flight Fest.

She said at the present time, they can accom-modate about 44 kids for fl ights. She is now looking for more certi-fi ed COPA pilots willing to volunteer their time at the festival so more kids can experience fl ight.

“Th is is the most en-tries we’ve ever had. Last year we had 30,” said Peters.

While there is a lot of excitement surrounding the annual event, orga-nizers were forced to downsize the 2012 cel-ebration.

“Normally we’ve had a lot more activities for the children and more vendors,” said Peters.

However, a lack of funding and a lack of volunteers made plan-

ning diffi cult.“We decided we were

just going to concen-trate on being able to off er the public fl ight af-fordably.”

But there is still plenty to do.

New this year is the Radical Raptors show from the Greater Van-couver Zoo in Alder-grove.

“Th ey will be doing their demonstrationwith birds of prey.”

Th e birds will be on site all day with a special show at noon. Th ere will also be a booth set up for people to get theirphoto taken with thebirds of prey.

Other family-friendly activities include a Rota-ry Pancake Breakfast at7:30 a.m., the Cooper’s Barbecue from 10 a.m.to 3 p.m., the CanadianMuseum of Flight and agolf ball drop contest at 3 p.m.

Th e golf ball drop consists of numberedgolf balls dumped fromthe air. Th e ball closest to a marker wins.

Entry into the FlightFest is free.

Annual Strawberry Tea attracts hundredsYale celebrates its history

Kevin MillsBlack Press

An estimated crowd of 300 people came to the Yale Historic Site on Sunday for the annual Strawberry Tea.

“Th at’s over 100 more than last year,” said Deb Zervini, site supervisor.

Th e annual event featured gold panning, black powder demon-strations, food, games, music and even a candy cannon.

“It’s a family-friendly event.”

Zervini said the high number of visitors is encouraging, but it also means that more volun-teers will be needed at next year’s event.

“We were running around like crazy this time,” she said.

Th e event, which was supposed to end at 4 p.m., still had guests and entertainment go-ing long aft er fi ve.

Zervini said the num-ber of displays, like the interest, just keeps growing.

In February, this column asked the question: “Are B.C.’s green-house gas reduction targets his-tory?”

The answer is contained in a new draft plan from BC Hydro on how to meet future power de-mand. And while it’s not explic-itly stated, the answer is yes.

The draft plan was released in May for discussion purposes, but so far there hasn’t been much dis-cussion.

This is surprising given some of the recommendations, such as firing up the Burrard Thermal natural gas power plant more of-ten, and buying fossil fuel power from the North American market to keep up to demand.

The plan confirms a few things

that have been evident for a while. Dreams of exporting B.C. hydroelectric power are gone for the foreseeable future.

And with mining ramping up along with natural gas develop-ment and population growth, BC Hydro now projects electricity demand could rise by 50 per cent over the next 20 years.

The emergence of huge shale gas sources in B.C. and across the United States has changed the North American energy picture dramatically, as U.S. electricity producers replace coal by burn-ing cheaper and cleaner gas to ramp up power production.

B.C. is losing gas market share in the U.S. – its only export cus-tomer for heating fuel and elec-tricity use.

Former premier Gordon Camp-bell’s climate goals officially re-main in place: 33 per cent green-house gas reduction by 2020 and a whopping 80 per cent by 2050.

If the gas boom proceeds as

planned, B.C. domestic emissions will not be down, but up consid-erably by 2020.

Premier Christy Clark has a new target for 2020: three lique-fied natural gas production lines feeding high-pressure tankers at Kitimat, for export to Asia.

Not only will B.C. need to buy gas-fired power from outside the province to keep up to industrial and residential demand, but the natural gas industry will need its own new gas-fired electricity to produce LNG for export.

Natural gas passed forestry as B.C.’s top resource revenue source

many years ago.In 2005, the volatile gas price

spiked up and produced $1 bil-lion in windfall profits that al-lowed the B.C. government to buy a rare period of public sector labour peace through the 2010 Olympics.

Now a glut of shale gas has pushed the North American price down from its historic range of $4 to $6 per thousand cubic feet to about $2.40.

Despite that low price, gas pro-ducers in B.C. are going flat out to develop the Horn River and Montney shale gas deposits in northeast B.C.

I asked David Pryce, vice-pres-ident of the Canadian Associa-tion of Petroleum Producers, why so much gas is being developed now. He said producers have made huge investments in B.C. shale gas drilling rights, and are in an international race to supply LNG to Asian countries where the price is currently four times

higher than in North America.Whatever the domestic price,

B.C. gas producers have to show LNG investors such as Mitsubishi and Korea Gas that they can fill a steady procession of LNG tankers at a competitive rate.

If LNG doesn’t fly here, B.C.’s gas export market soon evapo-rates. Currently, gas producers pay about $400 million a year in royalties, and that much again to buy up shale gas drilling rights.

The industry already employs about 12,000 workers in B.C.

The B.C. government has little choice but to redefine its climate targets. Instead of cutting domes-tic emissions, it will try to take credit for displacing coal power in Asia. Fortunately, B.C.’s main coal exports are for high-grade coal used in steel-making.

Goodbye greenhouse gas goals

Watch interest ratesThe real estate industry can breathe a sigh of relief, as can many

homeowners. The Bank of Canada said last week that interest rate increases aren’t likely any time soon, given the economic uncer-tainty in Europe and many challenging economic situations across the world. In that environment, an interest rate increase will just cause more trouble.

Nonetheless, homeowners with large mortgages would be wise to try to lock in low rates for as long as possible and, at the same time, do all they can to reduce their total debt.

Interest rates will not stay this low forever, just as they didn’t stay at 20 per cent in the early 1980s. Those high rates had a lot to do with the last significant housing price correction in the Lower Mainland.

At that time, some people simply walked away from their homes. It was a situation very similar to that in many U.S. cities in the past four years.

Here, the housing market has been very stable since the late 1980s. Prices fluctuated in the 1990s, but for the most part they have been on a steady upward trajectory.

In recent years, prices have jumped to levels where many people are having difficulty buying a home. This is particularly true of single-family homes. Only low interest rates have kept many peo-ple in the market.

Interest rates also have other effects, on retired people on fixed incomes. Low interest rates cut deeply into their purchasing pow-er, as they are dependent on investment income for at least part of their income.

A long period of low interest rates, as we have seen, can wreak havoc on pension plans.

It all makes for many challenging situations. Saving is of limited benefit, but so is borrowing too much.

The best approach is to keep expenses under control and pay close attention to interest rates.

Letters

Most British Columbians are indif-ferent to Premier Clark’s disaster-in-the-making descent in the polls.

However you would expect those backroom BC Liberal power brokers, who manipulated her ascension to the leadership of the party and the prov-ince for their own selfish reasons, would show some compassion in her hour of need.

You would think those doctors of spin would give her the one thing she really needs – a golden parachute and a plausible excuse for using it.

Stay tuned, those manipulative mas-ters may be working on such a plan at this moment. Christy Clark has suf-fered enough. Somebody should make it stop.

Lloyd Atkins

Every media outlet in south-ern B.C. has expressed surprise over the last few weeks over the by-election win in Chilliwack/Hope by the NDP and specifi -cally by Gwen O’ Mahony.

Prior to the election of April 19, some political pundits were predicting a win by either the BC Liberals or by the BC Con-servatives. Only a few were giving the NDP much chance. Th ey based their assumptions on the fact that the NDP had never won before in the Chilli-wack/Hope area.

Such highly simplistic evalu-ations could be expected from political novices; however, one would expect a bit more thought from people who sup-posedly spend their lives in the political realm of BC politics.

However; these mistaken predictions paled in compari-son to many of the more recent explanations as to why Gwen O’Mahony won in such a posi-

tive manner.I could not believe what I

was reading when many media writers explained Gwen’s vic-tory as a result of the so-called “right-wing split”. Many even went so far as to state that if there had not been a Conserva-tive candidate that the Liberals would have won.

Such nonsensical statements ignore the hard reality of what has occurred in this area over the past three years and give no credence at all to the intel-ligence of the electorate.

I was personally involved in all three of Gwen’s campaigns over the past three years. I was her campaign manager in 2009 and in 2011 and played a ma-jor role in this more recent by-election win. I know for a fact that there were at least three powerful reasons why Gwen won, reasons that had noth-ing to do with the “right-wing split.”

First, Gwen has been a “can-vassing machine” in three suc-cessive elections. She has per-sonally knocked on over 30,000 doors since early 2009. I know, because I either accompanied her on most of those visits and/or personally planned ev-ery single canvassing eff ort.

Gwen was and is very able at the door and has the unique ability to get her message across quickly. People sense that she is a conscientious person, one re-ally worth electing.

Secondly, this recent by-elec-tion brought to the local NDP a well-organized campaign like never seen before. Th ere were several hundred volunteers who came out to ensure that the voters were contacted and our positive message was put forth. While the Liberals ran on a negative, attack campaign, the NDP message of a positive alternative resonated.

Th irdly, for the fi rst time

in history, the NDP matched the opposition fi nancially. In the past, we oft en had to run a campaign on 10 per cent or so of what the BC Liberals had. For once, the NDP was on an equal par in these areas and our eff orts paid off .

For any person to suggest that the Liberals would have won this by-election if there had not been a Conservative candidate is pure nonsense. I asked many of our canvassers what the issues were that they heard at the door. Th e constant refrain heard was an urgent need to get rid of the Liberals. It is very obvious that, if there had not been a Conservative candidate, the vast majority of the 25 per cent who voted Conservative would have ei-ther stayed home or voted for Gwen O’Mahony.

So, please, let’s put this fal-lacy to bed forever.

Dick Harrington

MP Mark Strahl likes to say that the Conservative Party supports our troops. Th e facts say otherwise.

Th e Conservatives are cutting post-traumatic stress and suicide prevention programs for soldiers returning from Afghanistan, even though suicide rates doubled last year. All told, they are chop-ping over $200 million from Veterans Af-fairs, including cuts to Th e Last Post Fund, which helps low-income veterans get a proper burial.

It took a six-year battle in our courts to shame them into not clawing back the pensions of our disabled veterans.

Th ey have also repeatedly been caught snooping through the personal medical records of veterans advocates to fi nd em-barrassing details that can be used to in-timidate them into silence. Harold Leduc,

Denis Manuge, Sylvain Chartrand and Sean Bruyea have all suff ered from this disgusting behaviour.

Mr. Strahl needs to learn that support-ing our troops means giving them real respect. It means providing mental health support to cope with the horrors of war. It means refusing to nickel-and-dime veter-ans whose service has left them disabled. It means respecting the privacy of their medical records.

We make a promise to our men and women in uniform that, in exchange for their commitment and sacrifi ce, we will be there for them when they come home, to provide support to them and their fami-lies. Our veterans deserve better.

BOSTONBOSTONBARBAR

Valedictorian Message by Brittany Langner: First off I would like to thank all of you for coming to celebrate this day of accomplishment with us. You’ve all been a major factor in helping us achieve what we have so far. High school has changed us, but that’s not to say that we won’t change any more. Our lives are just beginning, and now it’s time to lead our lives. As Dr. Seuss once wrote: “You have brains in your headYou have feet in your shoesYou can steer yourself in any direction you chooseYou’re on your ownAnd you know what you knowYou are the guy who will decide where to go.” We’ve been through four years of school, many friends, and many heartbreaks. Even with all tough times, we’ve still shared so many memories and countless laughs. I know that the time I’ve spent here with you guys could never be duplicated and I wouldn’t want it any other way. And in case you’re wondering, I did the math. It’s been about 4,480 hours that we’ve spent in school over the last four years. You’d think that after all that time we’d be sick of each other, but I know that I’ll miss you both after this year is over. Upon fi rst impressions, the three of us can easily be described as shy or quiet. Once you get to really know us though, it’s one of the last things you would call us. Arthur is one of the most dependable people I know in my life. Although he is a respectful and responsible person, quite often he can be caught locking someone out of Cheryl’s room, having fun joking around, or wresting in the hallway. Which just so happens to be the way he broke his collar bone two years ago. Chaz is one of those people who likes to be at the back of the room and out of the limelight. Even though he is quiet, his own brand of humour brings many laughs to our school and our classes, especially Grad Trans. Chaz can usually be found hiding out in Renee’s offi ce. Chaz, Renee and myself have had many laughs there, I know that there are many more that I don’t know of. I can always rely on Chaz to bring a smile to my face no matter what were doing. While we were shopping for decorations, Chaz was the fi rst one of us to start trying on the oversized glasses that made him look like an alien. Which I’m hoping you’ll get to see a picture of in the slideshow. I won’t say much about myself, but I’m basically the nerd of this group. I’m not scared to make a fool of myself, be it by admitting my love Pokemon, my Science Fiction books or saying the cheesiest lines you can think of. The three of us have known each other for a number of years now. Arthur and I have known each other since before pre-school, and Chaz joined us four years ago. Over the years we’ve developed great friendships with each other. I can honestly say that there’s no one else I’d like to celebrate our graduation with. There’s something unique about this school that you won’t fi nd anywhere else. It’s not just that we know every student in this school and are friends with most or that almost every teacher in this school has taught us, or tried to herd us back to class, yelled at us for goofi ng around or told us to pull our headphones out. It’s all that and so much more. We still owe so much to the people in our school who have helped us out over the years. People like Renee, our secretary, who’s like a mom, a teacher, our friend and provides us with a place that we can also run to. We could never forget Pat Conway, who we know would be so proud of

us if she could be here to celebrate with us today. Pat was someone that was always around whenever we needed help and always gave selfl essly. People like Ms. Kneller who’s nagging is the reason why we get our work done. Who helps us fi nish our portfolio, helps us with our work outside of class, and accepting to be our guest speaker today. Mrs. Dekok, who for me has helped me with countless hours of math and who’s taught me that there is so much more than just school in the world. Every staff member in our school is amazing, and I wish that I could speak about all of you. Without you all, we wouldn’t be the people are today. Once again a huge thanks to all of you for coming. A big thank you to everyone that helped us transform our gym for our graduation, and to the teachers and staff that have helped us over the years. The biggest thank you that we owe is to our parents, guardians and our family for supporting, and teaching us all our lives. Although the school year is almost over, I know that the memories I’ve made here will never be forgotten. Even though we will be going off in different directions after the summer, we share a bond that no one else can have. Together we are the 2012 graduates of Boston Bar Elementary Secondary School. To you my fellow graduates, I wish the very best for you and hope that you make the most of life. Lastly, I’d like to give you a few words of advice, quoted by the great Miss Frizzle from the Magic School Bus, “Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!”

History in Hope

A group of dreamers from Boston Bar will take action to put those dreams into reality.

On June 30. seven teens and six adults will embark on an epic ad-venture of a lifetime.

“Th is trip is the fi -nal step in a four year odyssey,” said commu-nity trip leader, Michele Dekok.

Four years ago, some elementary students and their teacher were motivated to change the world, they started with small activities to raise

awareness and funds.Aft er two years they

had fundraised the money to build an entire school in Sierra Leone.

Th e group decided to travel to Africa and build another school themselves.

Th e group will travel through Amsterdam to Nairobi where they will spend a night at Kolping House a former nun-nery. Th e next day they travel on through the Great Rift Valley to Sal-abwek, a small commu-nity in the Masai Mara.

Th ere they will live in a tent village and help the local people on a devel-opment project.

Th ey will take Swahili lessons, collect water from the watering hole and work the build site daily.

Th ey will also carry medical kits to donate to the community.

Th ey are collecting zip lock bags fi lled with toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, wash cloth, fi rst aid cream and band aids.

If you would like to create and donate some kits contact Michele Dekok at [email protected] or call 604-869-1514.

From archery and wall climbing to swimming and hiking, activities help expand experiences

Kids can explore, grow at campsBarry StewartHope Standard

Most kids don’t have a good wall to climb in their homes, nor a safe place to shoot a bow and arrow.

However, Hope has three outstanding camps right in its backyard which are open and waiting for kids to sign up for their summer pro-grams that include archery, wall climbing, swimming, hiking and more.

Th ere’s Camp Hope, on Highway #7, Camp Squeah in Dogwood Valley and Camp Kawkawa, at Kawka-wa Lake.

Camp Squeah’s executive director Rob Tiessen em-phasizes the safe refuge part of the camp’s mission state-ment.

“Our focus has always been on safety,” said Tiessen on Monday.

“Squeah is a safe place, where kids can be stretched to come out of their comfort zones. We want them to be able to walk away, more con-fi dent in their knowledge of who they are and what abili-ties they have.”

Squeah is owned and op-erated by the Mennonite Church of B.C. and was started in 1962.

“It’s our 50th anniversary, so we’re calling it our Golden Summer,” said Tiessen, who started working at the camp in 1995 and has been the ex-ecutive director since 2006.

Campers range in age from six to 16, with two-night camps off ered for the youngest campers and up to month-long camps for teens who are interested in build-ing their leadership skills.

At the height of the sum-mer season, Squeah can hold 102 campers and 55 to 65 summer staff , said Tiessen.

“I’ve recently become aware of the term ‘helicopter parent,” said Tiessen. “More and more, parents are con-cerned about letting their kids go. Th ere are so many fears out there — but it’s our

aim to make our camp a safe place, for parents to take that step.”

For those who need even more assurance, Tiessen said they can arrange for a visit to the camp, where staff can show them around. Th ere’s also a family camp off ered, from July 16 to 20, where the whole family can come for a shared adventure.

All three camps are Chris-tian faith-based, though the executives directors of Squeah and Kawkawa say they realize their clientele has been changing over the years. (Camp Hope’s direc-tor was unable to respond by press time.)

“Being a Christian camp, we encourage exploration of

one’s faith — and to consider what our role is in regard to nature,” said Tiessen. “But we respect where people are coming from. We’re trend-ing close to 50-50 for people with no church or faith back-

ground. We’ve also had Mus-lims that had to honour Ra-madan while they were here, so we made time for that.”

Wayne Stewart, of Camp Kawkawa concurred. “We probably have about 50 per cent of our campers who are not from a church back-ground.

“We still teach solid moral

principles — and anything religious that we present is done in the light of day. It’s important for people to

know that. We’re not a cult.”At one point, in 2005,

there wasn’t a camp at all. Geotechnical concerns forced the camp to close in 2005, thirty-one years aft er it fi rst opened.

It remained closed for three years.

Stewart said a generous donation by renowned geo-technician Frank Bowman gave the camp the green light to reopen in 2008.

“Frank came out here on his own and walked the site and did a fl y-over and he gave us a full geotechnical study that allowed us to re-open,” said Stewart, who has lived at the camp with his family since 2009.

“It not only helped the

camp — but also the Districtof Hope, as the homeownerson Johnson Road couldn’tget insurance or sell theirhomes without the study.

“Rita Lihaven was the driv-ing force in getting the campgoing again,” said Stewart,“but she succumbed to can-cer just two weeks before itreopened.”

Now, the camp can handleup to 80 campers, rangingfrom seven to 18 years old,with 40 staff to serve them.

“We also have a workprogram, for age 13 and up,where kids can come andwork in the kitchen or domaintenance,” said Stewart.

“It’s helps them build awork ethic. Th ey pay $75to come and work for theweek. Th e idea is to feedthem into our staff for futureyears,” said Stewart. “It’s notall work ... they get to takepart in the fun, too.”

With the lake right there,water and boating activi-ties abound — but Stewartis proud of some new land-based activities they havedeveloped this year.

“Kids these days are goodat texting but they’re not sogood at face-to-face interac-tion,” said Stewart.

“Th ey’re also not so goodat tactile activities, so we’vejust fi nished building an out-door pizza oven, where kidscan build their own pizzas,slip them in and sit aroundthe oven and talk while theybake.”

On the nature front,there’s a 500 year old Doug-las fi r that towers near theboat dock and a 900 year oldmonster at the back of theproperty, said Stewart

“We’re building a wheel-chair-accessible trail to it.We’ll put deck chairs aroundthe base of the tree, so peoplecan lean back and look up atall the life that goes on in thatold tree,” said Stewart.

All three facilities havewebsites outlining dates,activities and fees, so checkthem out — and get camp-ing.

Sports

Coquihalla Grade 4 student John Fay takes careful aim at the Camp Squeah archery range, last Friday. Camp Hope, Camp Squeah and Camp Kawkawa are gearing up for a summer of fun and challenging adventures and the kids of Hope are invited to take part.

“We want them to be able to walk away, more confident in their knowledge of who

they are and what abilities they have.”

NOTICE TO THE RESIDENTS OF SUNSHINE VALLEY RE: PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF RURAL

AGENCY STORE

The Liquor Distribution Branch invites community input on a request to establish a Rural Agency Store (RAS) at the Sunshine Valley RV Resort & Camping Cabins in the community of Sunshine Valley.

The intent of a RAS is to provide liquor service in rural communities and tourist destination resorts, in order to give people in these communities better, more convenient access to beverage alcohol products. RAS’s are established in rural communities where it is too small to operate a Government Liquor Store.

RAS’s will be established, where there is a suitable business i.e. an existing independently-owned full service general grocery store.

Only one Rural Agency Store authorization in a community is permitted.

Written comments will be accepted until July 13, 2012.

Your submissions may be used by the LDB in the decision process.
