The Blue Moose celebrates 15 yearsErin KnutsonHope Standard

The Blue Moose celebrated its 15th anniversary last week, commemo-rating over a decade in the coffee business.

The booming coffeehouse is a beacon for locals, bus loads of tourists, hipsters and any one who enjoys a good cup of joe.

To celebrate the milestone, free coffee was given away, along with deli-cious treats. The Hope Standard met up with owner Wes Bergmann on Saturday, as live musician La Vern played to a crowd and cake was handed out to guests.

“We had five bus loads of people this week,” said Bergmann. “There was a lot of people and it's fun to give away coffee.”

Bergmann is a self-made entrepreneur who owned two Chevron stations in the late 80's before determining a need for specialty coff ee in Hope.

The self-proclaimed coffee connoisseur was all about the beans, and began with Ethical Bean, a fair trade coffee supplier, eight years ago.

“We wanted to do something with fair trade — it takes out the middle-man,” said Bergmann of the practice.

All of the baristas at the Moose undergo specialized training, which in-cludes a day trip to a roasting house in Vancouver and buddying up with a training partner at the Moose.

A couple of them have had the opportunity to go down to places like Guatemala for a few weeks to learn the history.

“They get a chance to go and volunteer,” said Bergmann. “They have to pay their own airfare going down, but they stay for free.”

According to Bergmann coffeehouses are community minded and over the centuries have had a rich and diverse cultural history.

“Coffeehouses provided common ground for people in the 1600's, and the essence of the coffeehouse involved community politics and religion,” said Bergmann. “It's a place for people to connect.”

Most importantly the coffee business is about people.“You gotta love people,” he said. “I used to sit and watch people at the

airport — you learn what people want and you give it to them.”

NewsHome invasion on Chawathil

A home invasion on the Chawathil Reserve involved five people who were on the prop-erty at the time of the incident. After a distress call was made to 911 around 10:30 p.m. last Thursday, the police arrived on scene to find the perpetrators had fled.

“At this point we are determining the num-ber of suspects,” Staff Sergeant Karol Rehdner told The Hope Standard. “We have knowledge

of one individual, and we are aware of more people being involved.”

The investigation is ongoing, and police hope to follow up with charges and arrests. The residents were unharmed during the break in.

Rehdner, believes that the public is safe, but people are concerned for safety on the reserve at this time.

Former finance minister to advise Clark Tom FletcherBlack Press

Former finance minister Carole Taylor has signed on as an advisor to Premier Christy Clark as the B.C. government examines what to do with the carbon tax Taylor introduced in 2008.

Clark announced the appoint-ment in Vancouver Monday, say-ing she will call on Taylor's experi-ence on advancing the province's greenhouse gas reduction pro-gram. Taylor will work from the premier's Vancouver office and be paid a nominal one dollar a year.

As a former Vancouver city councillor and advisor to Ottawa, Taylor will also give input on the province's effort to rein in soaring housing prices in,” Clark said.

Taylor told reporters she has spoken to Harvard and Stanford Universities in the U.S. on the B.C. carbon tax experience, and is looking forward to providing policy advice to B.C. on where to go from here. The B.C. tax has been frozen at $30 a tonne since

2013, adding about seven cents to the price of a litre of gasoline with similar increases for natu-ral gas and other heating fuels. Taylor is the latest of a series of special advisors to Clark, after

former Encana CEO Gwyn Morgan and former Canfor and Finning

executive Jim Shepard.Taylor served one term in former pre-mier Gordon Campbell's cabinet before retiring from politics in late 2008, when she was appointed chair of a new federal govern-ment economic advisory panel. Since leaving B.C. politics, Taylor served on the board of directors of the TD Bank and as chancellor of Simon Fraser University.

Carole Taylor shows off her 2008 budget shoes, green to signify the implemen-tation of the carbon tax on fuels. She stepped down as B.C. finance minister and Vancouver MLA the end of 2008.

The Penticton 2016 BC Winter Games kick off in exactly one month and 1738 of BC’s best emerging high performance talents have registered and are ready to be part of this celebration of sport and com-munity which runs February 25-28.

The 1225 athletes are from every corner of the province and have trained to earn a place to repre-sent their zone at the Games. Competing in 17 dif-ferent sports, the athletes are an average of 14 years old and for most, this will be their first experience at a multi-sport Games. Special Olympians will compete in basketball and figure skating and athletes with a disability will compete in wheelchair basketball and para cross country skiing. These athletes will be supported by 333 coaches and 180 officials who have earned their certification in order to provide the best knowledge and expertise to the athletes and the competition. Volunteers in Penticton have been pre-paring for the past 18 months to host the Games – the fourth time this community has done so. There will be over 1800 volunteers working to ensure the par-ticipants have exceptional competition and a first-rate experience with Opening and Closing Ceremonies, special events, and wonderful hospitality. “Penticton is where the BC Games began in 1978, and we are so pleased to be back and benefiting from the history of sport and event hosting in this community,” said Kelly Mann, President and CEO of the BC Games Society. “The athletes, coaches, and officials com-ing to these BC Winter Games are taking their first step towards future national and international level competitions and the expertise of the volunteers will make a mark on their journey.”The BC Winter Games has been the starting point for many athletes who have gone on to higher levels of sport. Over 50% of Team BC athletes at the 2015 Canada Winter Games were BC Games alumni. 18 alumni were part of Team Canada at the 2014 Olympic and Paralympic Games including Kelowna’s Kelsey Serwa (Ski Cross), Summerland’s Justin Kripps (Bobsleigh), and Josh Dueck of Vernon in Para Alpine.

Fertility Awareness Week was held last May. It was a week for governments, patients and families to re ect on the challenges that many people face to have children. The technology to improve the chances of conception have improved immensely during the past decade but still some couples have problems. It can be a sad and lonely time. For help and support, try this website: fertilitymatters.ca

There are links to many resources to help couples feel not so alone.It’s good to be aware of any changes in the appearance of any

part of your body. This applies to moles and other skin blemishes, feet (especially important for diabetics) and breasts. In the case of breast changes, watch for lumps, size and shape changes of the breast or nipples as well as any abnormal discharges. Share any body changes with your doctor.

The mid-day nap is a common cultural phenomenon in countries like Spain and Mexico. But daytime nap can be good for you, too. It can help lower your blood pressure which in turn can reduce your risk of heart attack. Not everyone can

insert a daily siesta into their life but if you can, give it a try.

The World Health Organization announced that we are a step closer to the total eradication of polio. The WHO has removed Nigeria from the list of countries where polio is still a threat. It has been a year without any cases of polio. When the country goes for three years, it can be declared polio free.

News

A celebration of life was recently held for the Harrison Mills woman who was seriously burned by a live, low-hanging hydro line near Kilby Provincial Park last October.

After five weeks in a Vancouver General Hospital ICU bed, Shirley Nate succumbed to her injuries late in 2015.

Her sister Laura Nichols estimates about 60 people came to pay respect to Nate at the Harrison Mills Community Hall, with about half of the attendees local.

“We're coping,” Nichols said. “Of course my mom is devas-tated, it's her child. You never think your child is going to go before you.”

Nate who was 60 at the time of her death underwent seven surgeries while in intensive care and was stable a week before she passed away.

As a result of the accident she had lost both her arms, had numerous skin grafts, and would have faced years of strenu-ous rehabilitation.

“At the beginning she was doing quite well,” Nichols said. “Her body was reacting well after the operations, and the skin was healing.”

But as time went on, Nate’s immune system weakened and her health took a downturn after four weeks in ICU.

Her kidneys failed, her breathing was assisted and she was being fed through a tube.

“I couldn't imagine the pain she was in,” said Nichols. “She was suffering a great deal.”

Nate died Nov. 25 last year from the injuries she sustained while walking with her dogs in her rural community near the live hydro line beside the dike near Kilby’s camping area.

The two dogs were killed and Nate’s body caught fire. She managed to yell for help, attracting the attention of campers in the nearby Kilby Campground.

Nate lived by herself with many animals in the small Harrison Mills community near the park.

There was speculation from neighbours that the woman had entered the bushes where the dangling power line was exposed to rescue her dogs who might have come in contact with the electrical current when they followed the scent of a dead raccoon.

The B.C. government is planning to catch up on its long-standing nursing short-age by hiring 1,643 full-time Registered Nurses by the end of March.

Health Minister Terry Lake and B.C. Nurses' Union president Gayle Duteil announced Tuesday they have reached a staff increase agreement that has been the main obstacle to signing a new contract. The previous deal expired nearly two years ago, and the dispute over staffing was headed for arbitration.

Duteil said the last BCNU contract in 2012 contained a commitment to fill these positions, but more than 1,600 have not been.

"To the nurses working 16-hour shifts today, to the nurses working short in the emergency department and operat-ing rooms across B.C., to community nurses with overwhelming caseloads, this agreement means relief is on the way," Duteil said.

Lake said the first priority is to offer full-time positions to some of the 7,000 casual nurses working in B.C. Nurses from other provinces would be the next choice, and international recruiting would take place after that.

"I think there will be a pool of nurses who may be moving back with their families to British Columbia, given the economic downturn in Alberta," Lake said.

By region, the plan targets recruiting of 400 nurses for Fraser Health, 300 for Interior Health, 290 for Island Health, 100 for Northern Health, 235 for Vancouver

Coastal Health, 238 for the Provincial Health Authority and 80 for Providence Health Care, which runs St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver.

Fraser Health CEO Michael Marchbank said each nursing position costs the health authority about $100,000 a year, and the new positions can be accommodated from existing budgets.

NDP health critic Judy Darcy questioned whether that many nurses can be hired in little more than two months, after the origi-nal 2012 promise to hire more than 2,000 nurses has only resulted in about 500 up to

now. "We know that the long waits for hip replacement, knee replacement, you name it, has been due to shortages, including nursing shortages," Darcy said. "We've been paying incredible overtime.

Huge burnout, high injury rates, wait lists, hallway medicine, all of those things are a consequence not having met this promise." Duteil said 16-hour shifts have become "the new normal" for many RNs, and the agreement is a relief. She urged casual nurses in B.C. to contact the union by email immediately at [email protected] to express interest in the new positions.

NewsSmart meter system finishes under budgetTom FletcherBlack Press

BC Hydro's wireless grid system was offi-cially complete at the end of 2015, with a total cost the Crown utility now projects to be $777 million.

That's $153 million below the original bud-get, said Greg Reimer, executive vice presi-dent, transmission, dis-tribution and customer service for BC Hydro.

It includes all the ele-ments required by the B.C. government when it ordered the installa-tion of the smart meter system as part of its Clean Energy Act in 2010. Reimer said in an interview the system has also exceeded the $70 million in savings pro-jected for the first three years of operation.

"We've realized about $100 million in benefits during that time, par-ticularly from opera-tional savings," Reimer said. "Customers are getting more accurate bills. We've reduced our manual meter reading reads and our bill esti-mates. Meter reading and billing is automated through the system."

The smart grid had its severest test at the end of August 2015 when a wind-storm brought down thousands of drought-weakened trees, leav-ing 700,000 customers on southern Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland without power and electricity.

Power was restored to all areas in five days,

which was half the time it took to recov-er from the December 2006 windstorm that flattened trees in Vancouver's Stanley Park, Reimer said. The 2006 storm blacked out only half the number of homes of the 2015 event. Reimer said the ability to test an entire power line after one break is repaired means the crew doesn't have to drive the rest of the line, and can move to the next confirmed problem when repair-ing storm damage.

BC Hydro has defended its power theft savings after NDP energy critic Adrian Dix questioned them. In a recent letter to

BC Hydro CEO Jessica McDonald, Dix said the company's estimate of power theft by marijua-na growers was "magi-cally" inflated by then-energy minister Rich Coleman in 2006, then increased again in the utility's 2011 business case for the wireless system. Reimer said the business case projected a 75 per cent reduc-tion in power theft, and the reduction for this fiscal year is pro-jected at 80 per cent, as the smart grid detects actual power consump-tion and compares it to billed amounts.

While it's officially complete, the smart grid requires ongoing maintenance and annu-

al testing of meters to meet federal accuracy regulations. BC Hydro also plans to install more than 4,000 meters that use commercial cellular phone networks to send in readings. Those are for locations with concrete base-ment meter rooms that can't reach the grid, or rural areas where it is too expensive to extend the BC Hydro wire-less grid, Reimer said.There are still 1,320 BC Hydro customers who have refused to accept smart meters, opting to pay a monthly fee for manual meter reading of a mechanical meter or a wireless meter with the radio transmitter turned off.

Wireless meters in test lab. BC Hydro is required to test meters annually to make sure they are accurately measuring electricity use.

Published by Black Press Lt. at 540 Wallace St., Hope, B.C. every Thursday.

We are barely into the New Year and the entertainment industry has been rocked by the loss of five great performers. All of them couldn’t be more different.

On December 28, Lemmy Kilmister who founded and fronted the heavy metal rock band Motorhead died of prostate cancer at the age of 70. Kilmister was the band’s lead singer, bassist, songwriter and frontman and their music and influence were everywhere on DVDs, video, band collaborations, film soundtracks, tributes, and road tours until his death last month.

Three days later on December 31, R&B singer Natalie Cole and Vancouver’s beloved big band leader Dal (King of Swing) Richards died. Cole died of congestive heart failure at age 65 and Richards was 97.

American singer, songwriter and performer Natalie Cole was, course, the daughter of Nat King Cole and her hits This Will Be, Inseparable and Our Love in the mid-1970s took her to huge musical success. But her virtual ‘duet’ with her father Unforgettable was, well, utterly unforgettable.

Dal Richards was born and raised in Vancouver. He formed his band in the late 1930s and by 1941 he was leading his band at Vancouver’s hot-test dance venue, the Panorama Roof at the Vancouver Hotel. He played 79 consecutive New Year’s Eve gigs and had shows at the PNE for 70 years. He was honoured with the Order of Canada, the Order of B.C., and the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal and was inducted into the B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame to name just a few.

Then last week rock icon David Bowie passed away from cancer at age 69. Bowie was all about creativity and persona and flamboyant fashion. Bowie didn’t have to think outside the box. He was never in one. After all, his alter ego was Ziggy Stardust. He was talented as a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, painter, and actor.

His music and his performances changed people and he changed the way they thought about music. He was just the boy in Brixton, south London, when his father brought home a box of 45 RPM records of the Platters, Elvis Presley, Fats Domino, and Little Richard. His future in music was set right to the days before his death with the release of Blackstar. By the numbers, he sold 140 million albums since his first release in 1967. Then, later last week, British film and stage actor Alan Rickman died of pancreatic cancer at age 69. Tragically he was only aware of it a few months before he died but it didn’t stop him from helping students raise money for the refugee crisis in December. He began his career in theatre and his film debut was as the German terrorist Hans Gruber in Die Hard. The multi award-winning Rickman was the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves and Severus Snape in the Harry Potter series. So often we take for granted the performers that put music and imagination in our lives. They’ll be missed. Black Press

With unlicensed marijuana dispensaries popping up in urban areas and thousands of unregulated medi-cal licences for home growing still in legal

limbo, the Trudeau government is starting work on its prom-ise to legalize recreational use.

Marijuana was a media darling in the recent election, but meeting in Vancouver with provincial ministers last week, fed-eral Health Minister Jane Philpott found herself preoccupied with issues deemed more urgent.

These include shifting our post-war acute hospital model to community primary care, tackling aboriginal health care needs, pooling pharmaceutical purchases to slow rising costs, and meeting an urgent Supreme Court of Canada directive to legalize assisted dying.

At the closing news conference in Vancouver, Philpott was asked how recreational marijuana should be sold. Licensed medical growers want exclusive rights do it by mail as permit-ted by the Harper government, another measure forced by our high court.

That would shut out the rash of supposedly medical store-fronts, which city halls in Vancouver and elsewhere imagine they can regulate.

Philpott said the question is “premature” and federal-pro-vincial justice ministers were dealing with it at their meeting.

Ottawa will have a “task force” too.Vancouver descended into a pot store free-for-all due to

benign neglect from council and police, and Victoria isn’t far behind. Vancouver Coun. Kerry Jang, a rare voice of reason in the Big Smoke, has protested dispensaries using street hawkers to attract young buyers, and pot stores setting up near schools.

Other communities, more aware of their limitations, have resisted issuing business licences. One recent proposal in the Victoria suburb of View Royal came from a fellow who insist-ed marijuana extract had cured his cancer.

This is typical of claims that proliferate on the Internet, and is one of many warning signs about dispensaries that put up red cross signs to sell pot products with exotic names.

B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake was more forthcoming a few days earlier, responding to a Vancouver reporter who judged marijuana more interesting than his just-announced plan to hire 1,600 more nurses by the end of March.

Lake noted that Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is keen to sell marijuana through the province’s monopoly liquor stores.

B.C.’s government liquor store union has also endorsed this idea, forming an unlikely alliance with non-union private stores to get in on the action.

“There are public health officials that I’ve talked to who say that the co-location of marijuana and liquor sales is not

advisable from a public health perspective,” Lake said. “I think whatever we do it has to be highly regulated, quality control has to be excellent and above all we must protect young people.”

Yes, liquor stores check ID. But the notion that marijuana might be sold next to beer and vodka in government stores deserves sober second thought, and serious scientific work of the kind that has shown damage to developing brains from teenage marijuana use.

Of course all of this urban hand-wringing over pot stores ignores the de facto legalization that has existed across B.C. for decades.

The Nelson Star had a funny story last week about a local woman’s discovery on Google Earth. Zooming in on area mountains, one finds not only the Purcell landmark Loki Peak, but also Weed Peak, Grow Op Peak, Cannabis Peak and Hydroponic Peak.

Whatever the source of this cyber-prank, it could also be applied to other regions of B.C.

For the record, I’ll restate my long-standing position that legalization is the only logical answer. I’ll say the same about other drugs that drive most B.C. crime, but that’s a subject for another day.

Food for thoughtI would like to commend the Hope and District Chamber of Commerce on their most

recent endeavor to promote and stimulate business growth in Hope via a series of speakers. Their format is good — a dinner plus a speaker at a reasonable price of $10.

However, considering that in B.C. 38 per cent of small businesses and in Canada 35 per cent of small businesses are owned and operated by females, the chamber has “missed the boat” by not including at least one female in each session of speakers.

Those females who are capable of acting as role models and addressing the issues at hand are out there.

The Chamber simply has to realize that we live in a business world that includes both males and females and, if our community is to be successful as we move forward in the 21st century, they have to provide equal opportunities and role models for both genders.

I hope the above comments provide “food for thought” and that those thoughts lead to the appropriate action that will correct this unfortunate omission.

Posted on Hope BC Bulletin Board — Jan 21/16 about 7 p.m. By Sara Burleigh

In the January 21, 2016 Issue of the Hope Standard there is an article about the 753 users. I would like to clarify a few items and statements in this article.

1) The 753 Ratepayers Committee petitioned council not 753 Waterworks.2) The 753 Waterworks system is not a derelict system. The current well has a non functioning

pump and the casing is starting to crumble and degrade. It still produces potable water but cannot meet the water use demands of the customers and maintain fire protection pressure levels. A new well has been drilled and will be connected to the existing works, we have been assured, by early April, 2016.

3) I do not believe “upset users lament two years of a private water system that is holding up at a bare bones level, but is failing to keep standards at an optimal level. “At no time have I seen any users wail, weep, mourn or cry for two years. For two years upset users have fought for a remedy to ongoing issues and have succeeded in holding 753 Waterworks accountable for their mismanagement.

4) Obsconded is not a word. If the editor actually meant absconded then I have to disagree there as well as no perks left hurriedly or secretly to avoid detection or arrest from an unlawful action.

5) A truly fluid system is a system that can change eas-ily or often. None of the 753 Ratepayers is pushing for a truly fluid system.

6) The lack of payments is due to 753 Waterworks Ltd not enforcing payment of water utility bills not adminis-trative injustice. As 753 Waterworks is a privately owned public utility and not an administrative agency with judi-cial powers there has been no administrative injustice.

As 753 Waterworks Ltd is a water utility that was built in 1978 to service the Thacker Mountain subdivision. A few years later two more subdivisions were added to the system. The customers of 753 Waterworks have had inex-pensive water until 2014 when the rates doubled. Since then we have had another three rate increase approved by

the Deputy Comptroller at the Water Management Branch. We also have a special levy of $470 that was approved and is to be paid over a six month period. This levy will pay for the new well construc-tion project that will connect the new well to the existing works. We organized ourselves and fought for a public hearing. We got our hearing on October 29, 2015 and exposed the ongoing mismanage-ment of 753 Waterworks as well as their indifference to us customers as well as the regulations they were to follow. They are now being held accountable by the appropriate regula-tory offices. Our water issues are being resolved. We will continue to push for 753 Waterworks Ltd to meet with the District of Hope and come to terms for the turn over of the water system.

Re: 753 users continue to petition District for takeover

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN

The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the Pest Management Plan (PMP) applies.

The purpose of the proposed PMP is to control vegetation at BC Hydro facilities to maintain safe and reliable

operations which support the delivery of electricity to our customers. This plan applies to all areas of

British Columbia where BC Hydro has operational or planned facilities such as electrical substations, generation

switchyards, generating sites, communication sites, storage sites, administrative buildings, or land owned

or leased for future facilities.

The proposed duration of the PMP is from April 2016 to April 2021.

Vegetation incompatible with the operation of the power system will be controlled using: physical (manual

brushing, girdling, hand-pulling, hedge trimming, mowing, pruning, weed trimming or tree removal), cultural

(gravel/hard surfacing, planting ground cover), biological (release of parasitic insects to control noxious

and invasive plants) or chemical (herbicide application) techniques, or any combination of these methods.

The active ingredients and trade names of the herbicides proposed for use under this plan include:

○ acetic acid – Ecoclear, Munger’s Hort Vinegar or equivalent,

○ aminocyclopyrachlor and chlorsulfuron – Truvist or equivalent

○ aminocyclopyrachlor and metsulfuron-methyl – Navius or equivalent

○ aminopyralid – Milestone or equivalent

○ aminopyralid and metsulfuron-methyl – ClearView or equivalent

○ aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl, and fluroxypyr – Sightline or equivalent

○ aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl and triclopyr – Clearview Brush or equivalent

○ Chlorsulfuron – Telar or equivalent

○ Chondrostereum purpureum – Chontrol or equivalent

○ clopyralid – Lontrel, Transline or equivalent or equivalent

○ dicamba – Vanquish, Banvel or equivalent

○ dichlorprop-P and 2,4-D – Estaprop XT or equivalent

○ diflufenzopyr and dicamba – Distinct, Overdrive or equivalent

○ diuron – Karmex, Diurex 80 WDG or equivalent

○ flumioxazin – Payload or equivalent

○ glyphosate – Vantage, Vision or equivalent

○ imazapyr – Arsenal Powerline or equivalent

○ indaziflam – Esplanade or equivalent

○ metsulfuron-methyl – Escort or equivalent

○ picloram – Tordon 22k, Tordon 101 or equivalent

○ picloram and 2,4-D – Aspect or equivalent

○ triclopyr – Garlon products or equivalent

○ Trifluralin – BioBarriere, Treflan or equivalent

○ 2,4-D – LV700 or equivalent

Adjuvant products may also be combined on occasion with a herbicide to improve its effectiveness, such as:

nonylphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol – Agral 90, paraffinic oils – Gateway, octadec-9-enoic acid as methyl

and ethyl esters – Hasten NT, or siloxylated polyether – Xiameter or equivalents.

The proposed methods for applying herbicides include: soil applied techniques (backpack sprayer, powerhose

or fixed boom sprayer), cut surface, basal bark, backpack foliar, mechanized foliar (fixed nozzle, boom directed

nozzle, wick sprayer), and injection (hack and squirt, lance or syringe) techniques.

A draft copy of the proposed PMP is available at bchydro.com/pestplanforfacilities.

Alternatively, it is available in person at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby; 1401 Kalamalka Lake Road, Vernon;

18475 128 Street, Surrey; 400 Madsen Road, Nanaimo; 3333 22 Avenue, Prince George.

BC Hydro, the applicant for the proposed PMP, is located at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby, B.C., V3N 4X8.

Please contact Tom Wells, Vegetation Program Manager, at 604 516 8943 or [email protected]

for more information.

A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development

of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the above address

within 30 days of the publication notice.

Little girl killed running to father

Six-year old Debra Lauran George, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph George, of Laidlaw, was instantly killed on a Monday afternoon when she ran across the Trans Canada Highway into the path of a car driven by James McDonnell, Douglas Lake.

Mr. McDonnell was going east and had noticed two children at the south side of the road, when suddenly one of them started running directly in front of the car.

Wendy Aldrich, nine, who was walking home with Debra, said the little girl had seen her father in the phone booth at Hall's service station and waited until a westbound truck passed, then dashed across the road.

A number of people were in the service station besides the father. Dr. Ursula Asche was called, but the little girl was dead when she arrived. Her injuries included a fractured skull and fractured right leg.

Winston Churchill Memorial Service

A memorial service for Sir Winston Churchill was be held on a Saturday morning at the Anglican Church conducted by Rev. L. G. Chappell, assisted by Rev. W.J. Selder. Other ministers were also being invited to share in the service, and it was hoped that persons of all denominations would take part.

The members of the Canadian Legion Branch 228 were asked to meet in front of the church at 10: 45 a.m. and to form up in order to march into the church.

Schools throughout School District No. 32 held memorial services on a Friday morning.

Mishaps cause of power outages

It was three strikes and out for Hope's electric power on a Friday and Saturday. On the Friday, about 11 a.m. the 60,000-volt line up the north side of the Fraser was knocked out, reportedly by a tree cut by Highways Department crews slashing a right of way for the Haig Highway, between Ruby Creek and Haig.

Hope was switched to the stand-by line on the south side, and Boston Bar and North Bend went on diesel standby power, but the area between, was without electricity until damage was repaired after about seven hours. On the Saturday morning a rock slide came down on the C.P.R. Tracks opposite Bristol Island took the main line out again. Then, shortly afternoon a tree blew down at Watkins' Hollow and flattened the standby line. It was about 7 p.m. before power came on.

The outages caused serious trouble for the Curling Club, trying to hold its annual bonspiel without lights and on melting ice.

Friday the lights were on though dim, but the ice plant wouldn't work. Saturday an auxiliary plant was provided by Emil Anderson Co. to light the rink, but when the ice got too sticky, play had to be altered for several hours.

The high wind also did some damage, destroying the big Hope Hotel sign on Water street and a smaller sign at Scott's Drug Store.

Mysterious little worms found on snow at Othello

The poem says ice worms nest in the Arctic, but are they nesting at Othello? Or is it pink snow? Ed Dick brought to The Standard office on a Tuesday a vial containing a little water, a lot of ice, and a quantity of orange and pink worms about an inch long.

He said they were a sample from a number of patches of tiny creatures found on the snow in his yard. There was no sign that they had dropped from trees. He put them in the freezer compartment of his refrig-erator for two days, but this didn't seem to bother them any, and they were squirming in a leisurely fashion when they reached Hope.

Gus Millikan said that he had once observed a simi-lar phenomenon on a mountain and brought home a can full of the worms. They appeared to multiply despite having nothing to eat, as they several times out-grew the can without the individual worms appearing any larger. Then they all died. He thought they were the cause of pink snow.

Biology teacher R.M. Storey could not identify the worms, although he thought he had seen the same thing at the edge of melting snow. He said pink snow was a fungus or algae and that he would take the worms along on a trip to the University of B.C. On the week-end to see what he could learn.

Hope’s C1 bantam Wildcats made it two tour-nament wins this season, as they bested all comers at their home tourney last weekend. Their first two and last two games were eventual blowouts but they found very worthy oppo-nents in their third game, Saturday afternoon.

Richmond C2 took 1-0 and 2-1 leads in the first frame and a 4-3 lead in the second period, then tied at 5-5 early in the third — giving the local squad a good scare.

Head coach, Dusty Smith said, “It was a close game right till the last minute. I put in Connor Douglas for the right-handed draw on the face-off and he pulled it back to Marcus James, who put it in the top right corner.

“The bench went a little crazy!”

James followed up with an empty-netter from Kade Hansen and Vincent Pellegrino with one sec-ond on the clock.

James finished the weekend with 12 of the Wildcats’ 44 goals, adding 7 assists.

Douglas got the scor-ing spree going in the first game, Friday, with 5 goals against Ridge Meadows C3. (“C” denotes a house league or non-select team.)

The visitors had kept it close in the first period but the floodgates opened after that.

Both teams had a fairly steady presence in the sin bin — and Hope’s six pen-alties made them miss a valuable “sportsmanship point,” which helped rel-egate them to second place, going into the championship game.

Wildcat goalie Brayden Gelowitz posted a 7-0 shutout in the team’s second game, versus Surrey C4.

Aleck Lucki (pronounced “Loose-key”) set the pace with two goals — but the Wildcats had one too many penalties to gain the sportsmanship point.

They cleaned up that problem in the following games.Seven different Wildcats scored in the 11-1 champion-

ship final, Sunday afternoon, including a pair from Shaun Mitchell and singles by Brady Loring, Jarren Payant and Justin John-Olney.

Team manager Jesse James said, “Around the nine-minute mark of the second period, the Semiahmoo goalie was injured and had to come out of the game.

“Another player went into the dressing room and suited up — but their original goalie was left-handed and you could tell that the substitute goalie was right-handed.

“After Hope scored on the first shot on net on the sub-stitute, the Hope goalie who wasn't playing in this game, Brayden gave his stick, glove and blocker to the Semiahmoo goalie.

It was a nice touch of sportsmanship and just goes to show how awesome our HDMHA players are.”

Wildcat MVPs in the five games were Aleck Lucki, Brayden Gelowitz, Marcus James, Kade Hansen and Michael Frayn. Most sportsmanlike Wildcats were Eric Meijer, Richard George, Brady Loring, Emerald John and Brayden Gelowitz.

Jesse James said visiting teams paid $1000 each for four

guaranteed games, while Wildcats parents made up for the “free” entry by helping run the tournament, such as selling 50/50 and raffle tickets, working the game clock or filling out the game sheets.

“As the tournament coordinator, Linda Goglin was able to make sure everything ran smoothly,” added James. “She stayed all weekend long — an hour before the first game and after the last game.”

The bantam Wildcats finished second in their division in the regular season and have won their first game of the playoffs.

Coach Smith is also the event organizer for the annual “Dusty’s Men’s Tournament, which will run from February 5 to 7. “We’re all booked up, with 16 teams,” said Smith. “We’ll be starting early on that Friday.”

Wildcats best opponents in home tournament

WOOD, Henry George Westmorland February 9, 1924 – January 12, 2016

Our father “Harry “ heard a calling from his beloved Mardy and son Daryl, and though he loved this life, it was time to join them. Dad fell and broke his hip while “puttering” in his room. He survived the risky surgery but succumbed to the dreaded pneumonia. Dad was born and raised on a farm near Lloydminster Sask. He married Marjorie Allen and they eventually moved to BC. He became a hard rock underground

miner, working at Nickel Plate (near Hedley) and the Giant Mascot Mine in Hope. He fi nished his career with Emil Anderson Construction building the Coquihalla Highway. Mardy and Harry raised 4 children – Daryl, Gar (Pat), Verita (Case van Diemen) and Lynnette (Mike Ferguson). He leaves behind grandchildren: Ryan, Chad, Jennie, Paige, Russ, Brad and great grandchildren: Dallas, Kyle, Charlie, Benjamin, and Bree. Harry and Mardy enjoyed many wonderful years of travel in their 5th wheel visiting close friends and family. They perfected the art of staying connected to so many people. Dad was very active in the Hope Legion, holding the position of President for several years and ultimately being awarded the Meritorious Award for his time and dedication. His fi nal job and most important to him, was caring for his beloved wife Mardy, who dealt with Alzheimer’s for years. They moved to Kamloops in 2005 to be close to family. What a gift that was to all of us, to be able to have them close by. He will be forever remembered for his DEDICATION to Mardy, his LOVE of family and friends, his GENEROSITY with his handyman talents and his ENJOYMENT of life. We will miss him FOREVER.
