The NDP recently announced their candidate for the newly created Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon riding.

Dennis Adamson, also known as the people’s politician and the director for Electoral Area B in the Fraser Valley Regional District, won a contested nomination Sunday, according to the NDP’s Tim Chu.

“I feel honoured,” Adamson told the Hope Standard. “It was very close, Chief Whitney was a tough candidate to beat.”

Adamson beat out Kevin Whitney, the chief of the T’it’q’et First Nation near Lillooet, for the nomination.

Chu said around 150 votes were cast, but did not provide a break-down of those votes.

With Adamson nominated, all four parties have chosen candidates for the Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon riding, which includes parts of Abbotsford north of Bateman and Maclure roads, along with Mission, Agassiz and several Fraser Canyon communities up to Lillooet in the

north.Adamson will face Jati Sidhu of the Liberals, Arthur Green of the

Green Party and Brad Vis of the Conservative Party, along with inde-pendent Wyatt Scott.

The goal of the NDP candidate when he is elected is to work for a better Canada and to address the issues of the people.

Adamson hopes to see a return of the middle class and has taken a stance against privatization in this country.

“I want to reach the people and to solve problems,” he said.Some of the issues Adamson hopes to address will be the job market

in the Canyon.“It’s difficult. People don’t have work and life is difficult. When I get

elected, I will lobby and make life better.”The candidate has taken a stance agains Bill C-51 and opposes a

Canada that will expose citizens right to privacy and infringe on their civil liberties.

Adamson told the Hope Standard that he is ecstatic about the nomi-nation and conscripting his family to his side on the campaign trail.

Water use restrictions, inland fishing closures and a close watch on the warm-ing Fraser River continue as drought conditions extend into a fourth month in B.C.

The Fraser River discharge at Hope measured 31 per cent lower than normal Aug. 10, with the temperature at 19.2 C, one degree higher than average. The Canada-U.S. Fraser River Panel projected a temperature of 20.4 by Aug. 16, with all commercial salmon fishing closed in Canadian waters regulated by the panel.

The B.C. government extended stage four drought restricted to the Okanagan region, allowing local officials to suspend water licences depending on stream conditions. The South Thompson, Similkameen, Kettle and Skagit, South Coast and Vancouver Island regions are also at stage four.

Low stream flow advisories are in effect for those areas and the Cariboo-Chilcotin. The forests ministry extended its stream fishing ban this week on the Okanagan River mainstem between Okanagan and Osoyoos Lakes.

The Kootenay and East Kootenay regions have been declared at level three drought, with voluntary use restrictions of 30 per cent below normal use for municipal, agricultural and industrial water users.

Coastal regions have had some relief with rain and cooler temperatures that have reduced the forest fire danger rating to low for much of western B.C. A campfire ban was lifted Wednesday for northern Vancouver Island, and open fires are also permitted in the northwest and Prince George regions.

B.C.'s most active fires and new fires continue in the southern coastal region, including the Wood Lake fire near Harrison Lake, the Elaho and Boulder Creek fires near Pemberton, and the Cougar Creek fire west of Merritt.

BC Hydro has also asked customers to reduce electricity use to maintain reservoir levels as dry weather continued in most of the province.

Drought takes toll on rivers, land

The Wood Lake fire near Harrison Lake was estimated at 1,370 hectares this week.FILE PHOTO/BLACK PRESS

Private jobs fall, self-employment upTom FletcherBlack Press

The unemployment rate in B.C. held steady at six per cent in July, with a reduction in private-sector jobs offset by increased public sector employment and self-employment.

BC Stats reported that private sector employment fell by 4,500 jobs from June, while private sector jobs grew by 1,800 and the number of self-employed rose by 2,100.

Compared to July 2014, self-employment was up by 9,800

while private sector employment was down 8,300.B.C.'s unemployment rate tied with Alberta for third lowest

in the country in July. Saskatchewan was lowest with 5.2 per cent and Manitoba

second lowest at 5.8 per cent, compared with a national rate of 6.8 per cent.

B.C.'s commodity exports increased 9.1 per cent in June, with increases in forestry products, farm and fishing products and energy. Exports were up 12.8 per cent to the U.S. and 5.1 per cent to the rest of the world.

Local government auditor problems confirmed


The release of a spring survey of B.C. municipali-ties confirms the problems that led to the firing of B.C.'s first Auditor General for Local Government in March.

The Union of B.C. Municipalities surveyed the 17 local governments that had participated in for-mer AGLG Basia Ruta's reviews by March. All but one responded that AGLG staff and auditors lacked understanding of how local government operates in B.C.

One community with RCMP service said the AGLG was "not quite sure how to assess our situa-tion" because the municipality had little discretion over the terms of its policing contract.

The survey also found that high turnover in Rutia's office hampered its performance audits. That was one of the factors that led to Ruta being fired, after she refused to cooperate with a review of her office's functions.

Former B.C. auditor general Arn van Iersel was appointed acting AGLG in April and is working with the UBCM on its recommendations, including training of audit staff.

Hired to execute an idea proposed by Premier Christy Clark in her 2012 bid for the B.C. Liberal Party leadership, Ruta set herself a target of 18 audits in the first year. Clashes with staff at her

Surrey office and her supervising board began to emerge, and only one audit was completed in that time.

Hope resident part of team that wins world-wide literacy software contest

News

Sue MartinStory Contributed

Hope has many hidden trea-sures, not the least of which is the trove of remarkable people who call Hope home. One such person is Gordon Martin, an unassuming computer software designer who, along with his team, based mostly in Texas, has just bagged the top prize for liter-acy software in a world-wide con-test sponsored by the US Agency for International Development (USAID,) World Vision and the Australian government.

Enabling Writers is a joint project by the aforementioned groups to raise literacy lev-els, particularly in developing nations. The contest was to find the best quality, most accessible software for designing materi-als for new readers. Users with little former computer exposure or literacy methodology are able to create professional, accurate educational materials in their (often minority) languages.

Any script (think Arabic, which reads left to right and ‘back to front’ in a book, com-pared to English, or up and down, as in some Asian languages) can be accommodated by this new smart software, making it possi-ble to create a library of reading-level appropriate books/booklets in languages which formerly had few or no mother-tongue materi-als. In a world with 7,102 known living languages, such software will finally make reading in the first language a reality for many language groups.

The software was tested in proj-ects in Cambodia, Bangladesh, Jordan and Ethiopia.

Martin has worked for SIL International for over 25 years, most of those as a linguist/trans-lator in sub-Saharan Africa, but

switched to writing software for the field, when the family moved to Canada in 2005. He and his wife Suzanne, and youngest son Nathaniel, moved to Hope in 2011.

Martin works with an inter-national team, online from his home office in Hope, designing programs that are speeding the creation and dissemination of educational materials across the globe. The winning program,

called Bloom will now be the go-to software for mother-tongue education around the world!

Asked if he gets a share of the $100,000 grand prize, Martin chuckled. “It all goes toward the mission of empowering peo-ple through literacy. I heard I may get a project coffee mug, though!”

For further information check out: http://allchildrenreading.org/ and http://www.sil.org/

Gordon Martin has been raising literacy levels for over a decade.

2013CCNABLUE

RIBBON

There is no question that a new school year is approaching. Store bins are full of every conceivable kind of school supply, and stacks of multicoloured binders and paper crowd the aisles. As you think about the material things your children need to start the school year well, here are some health-related matters to consider.

First, sleep is an essential part of your child’s health and growth. Children who go to school with enough sleep are more likely to function better, less likely to experience behavioral problems and have a happier, more produc-tive day. Summer “holiday hours” often disrupt normal sleeping patterns. Now is the time to start making daily gradual adjustments so that by the end of August, your child will be back to a regular and consistent sleep schedule. Children from the ages of 5-12 need 10-11 hours of sleep. An hour’s “quiet time” reading is an excellent way to relax the child in preparedness for sleep.

Second, if your child is starting kindergarten, check that his/her immu-nizations are up-to-date. Vaccines are a healthy choice for your child. They provide immunity and prevent disease. School entry vaccines are available and publicly funded at the local public health unit. Third, if your child has allergies (e.g., requiring an inhaler or an EPI pen) or has been prescribed certain medications, please advise the school about relevant specifics of his/her medical condition. If you require special information from your family doctor (e.g., a note or letter,) this is the time to obtain it.

Fourth, to mature emotionally and socially, children must learn to interact with people outside the home. By coping with the minor stresses and conflicts inherent in these interactions, children gradually acquire the skills to handle more significant stressors. However, certain major events, such as a family member’s illness may challenge a child's abilities to cope and impair perfor-mance in school. When such an event occurs, it is helpful to inform the school so that it can support the child. Finally, after a couple months’ reprieve, it will soon be time to think about school lunches. Kids who eat a healthy lunch are ready to learn. A well balanced lunch includes at least one food from every food group of Canada's Food Guide. Leftover pasta, pita pizzas, sandwiches and wraps are all quick and delicious kid approved meals and they all have ingredients from at least two food groups. Add cute containers of cut-up veggie sticks and cheese cubes or fruit chunks and yogurt, and you've got lunch. The Internet is an excellent resource of ideas for planning and preparing healthy lunches. Your child's health includes physical, mental and social well-being. Most parents know the basics of keeping children healthy, like offering them healthy foods, making sure they get enough sleep and exercise and insuring their safety. It is also important for children to get regular checkups with their health care provider. These visits are a chance to check your child's develop-ment. They are also a good time to catch or prevent problems.Parents, care-givers, and health professionals are essential decision-makers when it comes to the nutrition, physical activity and health needs of their children. Help your child develop healthy habits early in life that will bring lifelong benefits.


Several readers took me to task for last week’s com-mentary on the beginning of our long, hot federal election campaign.

They pointed out, among other things, that there are sub-stantial cost increases to Elections Canada as well as higher spending limits for the parties. And thanks to generous tax deductions for political donations, taxpayers subsidize all party spending whether they want to or not.

That’s the system as it is today, so rather than rail against it, it seems more useful to ask what we’re getting for our forced investment in this exercise.

First, more leader debates. The traditional main event organized by TV networks for Oct. 8 appears to be a bust, with only Liberal leader Justin Trudeau and Green Party leader Elizabeth May expected to attend. Conservative leader Stephen Harper declined, prompting NDP leader Thomas Mulcair to say he will only take part in debates that include Harper.

Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair have agreed to a Sept. 17 debate hosted by The Globe and Mail and Google Canada. This one is to be focused on the economy, which should

force participants to get beyond their talking points and pointing fingers.

On Sept. 28 there will be a debate focused on foreign policy hosted by Munk Debates, a charitable foundation. Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair have accepted. May and Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe were not invited to either of these.

The national media have decided that the biggest issue currently is the trial of suspended senator Mike Duffy, but this has turned out to be a rehash of facts and assertions heard many times over by those who care.

The expense account abuse has pushed the issue of sen-ate reform to the forefront. Harper declared his intention to starve the Senate by refusing any more appointments, after most provinces ignored his call to elect their nominees.

Trudeau, having expelled all Liberal senators from the party caucus, has warned that Harper’s plan and Mulcair’s long-standing position to abolish the Senate are both unworkable, if not unconstitutional. Trudeau has prom-ised changes to the senate appointment process, but no specifics so far.

Party policies are being doled out one bit at a time, and the national and local candidate debates may help clarify them. Here are a couple that could use closer scrutiny.

Harper has promised to revive a stimulus program from the 2009 economic crisis, offering a 15 per cent tax credit for home improvements between $1,000 and $5,000. This sounds great if you’re a homeowner, but does nothing for renters, drives up the cost of housing in already overpriced urban markets and encourages more consumer debt.

Trudeau has promised an additional $2.6 billion over four years for First Nations education on reserves, and acceler-ated spending on school infrastructure.

Mulcair has promised to hold a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women. Mulcair and Trudeau both pledge to reverse the Conservative moves to eliminate what’s left of door-to-door mail delivery, and to extend the age of eligibility for the Old Age Security pen-sion from 65 to 67.

All of these promises are presented in the most appeal-ing way possible by the parties that promote them, and all involve spending and taxation trade-offs that the parties would prefer not to discuss.

Another possible dividend from a formal campaign stretching more than two months is that more voters will pay attention to the real issues and actually take the time to cast a ballot. If that happens, and the long decline in voter turnout is reversed, it’s a good investment.

Hang loose, something is bound to happen Two weeks ago we went to Sun Peaks with

another couple, June & Emil. We partied Friday night (as you know I would) and then the next morning I could not talk or walk and was slur-ring my words.

Emil phoned 911 and within minutes six vol-unteer first responders, with a leader training them, arrived.

These people are also volunteer firemen, who would like to become paramedics or firefighters some day.

Within an hour I was in the Emergency dept. at Kamloops hospital. What service!!

After many tests they decided I was dehydrat-ed and that along with my other health problems caused a mini-stroke.

After 36 hours I left the hospital in great shape, for an old man!

Hope is located at the junction of three high-

ways, plus rivers and rail lines. As you know there are many accidents and all the ambulances that can be mustered at times are needed.

Maybe this could be helped by our Fire Dept. When I joined the department, we had an aver-age of two fires a week.

There was no time for First Aid. Times have changed, with only three or four bad fires a year in our community. So maybe young firefight-ers could help and go onto a great career as a paramedic. Mr. Mayor with all the letters to you and the editor plus a signed petition by many, will there be any changes soon to the Hope Fire Dept.? Please reply in this paper on your and councils actions. We need 1st responders now.

Hang loose everyone. Something is bound to happen soon.

Bylaw for election signage appears to be holdingIt matters not what your political

stripe may be, I am certain most of you will agree, election signs are unsightly and spoil the beauty of our community.

In fact some time ago, our town council put in place a bylaw which in words says “election signs are not permitted to be erected more than 30 days prior to an election.” Obviously the Council agreed with the majority of our citizens.

It is evident one political party is unaware of the bylaw or is just ignoring it. However, our town man-

agement team knows the rules, so I wish to know why this disregard is going unchecked. Let’s play by the rules and have the offending signs taken down until it is “Game On” in accordance with our bylaw.

Michael Pelletier

Just a quick reminder to our citizens that the Terry Fox Run/Walk is one month away (Sunday, Sept. 20.) This year it will start at Memorial Park, with registration starting at 9 a.m. and the run begin-ning at 9:30 a.m.

Participants can walk, run, inline skate, or bike and the route is both wheelchair and stroller accessible. Gather up the crew and and we look forward to seeing you there!

Eileen Shepherd TF volunteer.

A lengthy federal election is underway. As I drive through our beautiful town, I am ever so thankful for the folks who took the time to draft our local bylaw, limiting the use of campaign signs on public property to only 30 days prior to election day.

I am also proud to see our local laws respected, for the most part, by candi-dates and their cam-paigns.

Ben Besler

The federal election campaign is now well under-way. The re-elect Mark Strahl campaign team is working hard to connect with voters, get our cam-paign office up and running, and in the Chilliwack area we’ve been putting up our election signs with teams of volunteers.

Some Hope residents have wondered why they are not seeing any re-elect Mark Strahl Conservative signs in Hope yet. While our cam-paign team was eager and ready to get our signs up in Hope as soon as the election was called, Hope has an election sign law (District of Hope Sign Bylaw # 35/96) which clearly states that, “No politi-cal sign shall be erected more than 30 days before an election.” While others have chosen to disre-gard it, the Re-Elect Mark Strahl, Conservative Campaign will respect Hope’s election sign law, and we look forward to getting our signs up in Hope on September 19, the first day they are permitted by law to be displayed.

OVER 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN THE INDUSTRY MOST UP-TO-DATE EDUCATION

OpinionThe grass isn’t always greener

Lori WelbourneColumnist

Have you ever covered a pimple with a make-up stick, dyed your grey hair back to it’s original shade, or painted your brown grass to a healthier look-ing green?

While lots of us have tried the first two, not to mention many other things to improve the aes-thetics of ourselves and the things we own, fewer of us have tried the lat-ter. My friend who recent-ly sold her house did, and she was thrilled with the results. “We’d worked hard getting ready for the sale - inside and out,” Jen said about her L.A. home. “But without being able to water the grass, our curb appeal was lousy.”

That didn’t make any sense to me since California has been struggling with a record-breaking drought. Surely every-one must be sporting the same dead lawn look?

“No,” she sighed. “All our neighbours had their grass paint-ed awhile ago. We were the last hold outs.”

Seems lawn painting is all the rage in California and other drought affected areas where people want to restore their love-ly yards but can’t turn on their sprinklers. For $375 she had the light brown grass in both her front and back yards painted a natural looking green and she’s convinced that’s what helped sell their home for more than she and her husband were expecting. There was no need to inform the buyers of the cosmetic trickery either. It’s commonly understood and accepted that if your grass is green there, it’s either spray-painted or synthetic. After another dry, hot summer in B.C., there’s plenty of brown grass here as well because of our water restrictions and all the people who choose not to turn on the taps even when they can. But with the exception of golf courses, lawn painting has been

far less common. That’s starting to change thanks to people out there willing to try their hand at it. Lawn painting pioneers have looked to the U.S. and educated themselves on the environmen-tal ramifications, doing research on different products that could accomplish the goal of improving the appearance of a yard while not causing any damage. The results have been the impetus for new lawn painting businesses.

“The reaction has been very positive,” said Lee Coulthard, lawn painting entrepreneur. “Everyone’s been happy to end up with green grass.” One hundred per cent non-toxic and biodegrad-able, the organic dye is absorbed by the blades of grass and is com-pletely pet and child friendly. The product uses only earth derived pigments, and claims to be the best colour match in the industry with an application that won’t rub off on shoes or clothing, nor will it wash away with regular watering or rain fall. On completely dor-mant grass, some customers have reported the green lasting four months, but Lee says it will likely need retouching anywhere from two to 14 weeks depending on weather, grass growth and lawn

traffic. His minimum charge is $150, which covers about 600 square feet. Every square foot after that is 25 cents. Overly fond of bright colors myself, I couldn’t help but ask what options there were for folks wanting a more creative paint job - perhaps a sea of blue or some rainbow stripes.“Sadly, the distributors haven't developed other colours besides green, white and bark mulch,” he said. “However, I could foresee some colorful lawns in the future once people catch on to the potential of this applicant. That is some unchart-ed ‘turf’ at the moment.”

Of course there are alternatives to what we’re traditionally accus-tomed to for anyone wanting to conserve water and display some-thing different. My friend Kim transformed her yard with some gorgeous, low maintenance rock work last summer, and another couple friends plan to tear up their sad looking lawns and replace them with drought tolerant plants and ground coverings that might not be ideal for kids to roll around in, but they’ll be gorgeous to look at. More gorgeous than a sea of blue grass or rainbow stripes? Depends who you ask.

Local White Spot contributes to Pirate Pak Day

Community

Story Contributed

Thousands of guests across B.C. and Alberta gathered to raise a record $92,358 for White Spot’s eighth annual Pirate Pak Day fundraiser on Wednesday, August 12, including the one in Hope. For one day each year, all those who are young-at-heart can purchase the iconic boat from Canada’s longest-running restaurant chain. The bounty raised from this event will help send more than 60 children and young adults to Zajac Ranch in Mission, B.C.

“Every year, White Spot is over-whelmed by the support our commu-nity shows us on Pirate Pak Day. This year is no exception,” said Warren Erhart, White Spot president and CEO. “We look forward to Pirate Pak day as an annual tradition when everyone — captains, lads, lassies and me hearties alike—can enjoy a piece of their childhood.

It is because of the community’s tremendous support that we are able to send more kids to enjoy the enrich-ing life experiences Zajac Ranch has to offer.”

White Spot donated $2.00 from each Kids and Adult Pirate Pak sold – plus contributions received in lieu of Pirate Paks – to Zajac Ranch, a B.C. charity that gives children and young adults with life-threatening illnesses and chronic dis-abilities an unforgettable camp experience.

Since the program began in 2008, White Spot

has raised a total of $439,530, providing hun-dreds of young mateys with a meaningful camp experience. This year’s single-day event saw a record number of 46,179 Pirate Paks sold. Every year, White Spot staff and enthusiastic guests dress up as modern day swashbucklers and adventurers of the sea, all in the name of charity and good-hearted fun.

The Hope White Spot was among the chains to contribute to the Pirate Pak Day fundraiser on Aug 12. A total of $92,358 was raised for charity.

Hope Library Reader of the Week!Community

The Build It! Summer Reading Club 2015 has a new reading champion this week.

Hannah Angel has taken the crown from her predecessors and recommends Dark Beast as her choice of book for the end of summer.

“It’s about this girl, and in her world everyone has a dark beast and when you turn 12 you are supposed to kill it, but she doesn’t,” said Angel.

The heroine’s choice lands the young girl in a world of trouble according to the avid reader.

The Club has been a success this sum-mer, and is winding down, as the days inch closer to the beginning of another school year. The aim of The Build It! theme was to actively engage readers of all ages, while helping them to build a solid literary foundation.

Arts&LifeAugust Backroom show inspires

Lena YacyshenSummer Student

Black and White with a Touch of Color is the new exhibit at the Hope Arts Gallery featuring the work of local artists Sharon Blythe and Jackie Coughlin. The month long show began on August 1st and will continue until the 28th.

Sharon got her start in oil painting but later switched to acrylics after taking a workshop with former Hope RCMP staff sergeant Ed Hill. She also has years of experience as a Chinese brush painter. Sharon was a founding member of both the Hope Artist Guild and The Hope & District Arts Council. Jackie Coughlin paints in water-colours and primarily works on floral paintings. Although painting is her passion, she also creates beautiful beaded jewelry.

Both artists are largely self taught under the guidance of various instructors at workshops in a variety of mediums. Sharon and Jackie are very excited to be exhibiting work together for the first time and to share their work with the community. Please support the artists and community arts programming in Hope by visiting the Hope Arts Gallery.

The Gallery is part of local arts and cultural programming under the Hope & District Art Council and is operated by volunteers. The Hope Arts Gallery, located at 349 Fort Street, Hope B.C. is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information please contact us at

W.P. Kinsella entertains an eager audience at The Hope Arts Gallery. Kinsella recently released a new anthology based on his extraordinary body of work.

Kinsella captivates audience

Emili Losier’s star is on the riseErin KnutsonHope Standard

Homegrown girl Emili Losier is a Finnish Canadian Soprano, and has a sweet lyrical voice that reaches her audi-ence in a profound way, creating joy whenever she opens her mouth.

Losier acknowledged that singing is a driving force within her, and that if she does not sing regu-larly, it becomes like a burning energy inside of her that needs to get out.

“I feel it right now,” she told the Hope Standard during a meeting over a Pina Colada smoothie at the Blue Moose.

The stage presence of Losier is touching, warm-ly childlike, graceful and incredibly natural, much like how she is in real life. She is candid and warm in person and a delight to be around.

A true artist, Losier wanted to get back to her Finnish roots and recent-ly completed a Masters degree in Finland.

“I chose Finland because of my heri-tage and now I live in Montreal,” Losier said of exploring her French background. “It’s like I’ve come full circle in my jour-ney.”

Losier now calls Montreal home and is enjoying exploring the culturally rich city.

The prolific artist recently performed in Hope at the Grace Baptist Church, the Fraser Canyon Lodge and at the Bandshell in Memorial Park during Free Summer Concerts in the Park 2015.

She has been performing since she can remember and let her voice guide her decision to become an opera singer.

Opera is something that can be cultivated, but is a rare quality in a voice, one that Losier knew she possessed early on.

“I sort of developed an appreciation for it over time,” she said of discovering Opera.

Losier’s body of work is impressive — she competed in the prestigious Lappeenranta Singing Competition in Finland, where she finished second.

The globally televised event was not the first time for the world travelled sing-er, who found herself in front of television crews in Bathroom Divas, so you want to be an opera singer,? almost a decade ago.

The quality of her voice, ease, and

undeniable stage presence had audiences captivated. “The world is so big and I knew I had to see it,” she said of her choice to cross the pond and pursue a musical education after the show ended.

Losier has been seen across Europe, showcasing her talent in places like Austria, Sweden, Iceland, Latvia, Slovakia and Belgium over the years. She is also a producer and has completed two operas in Helsinki, which include (Die Zauberflöte/Mozart and La Boheme/Puccini.)

The rapidly rising star is happy to be home for a few days and looks forward to continuing with her career.

“We’ll just see where it takes me.”

Homegrown sensation, Emili Losier, is a rapidly rising star in the world of opera. Now based in Montreal, Losier recently performed in Hope for a sweet homecoming.

RED CROSS STANDARD FIRST AID WITH CPR ‘C’

Saturday & SundayAugust 29 & 30

Barry StewartThe Hope Standard

Some people will do anything to get their names in the paper —yes, even jump out of airplanes!

Hope Secondary grad of 2010, Kayla Sullivan got a surprise 23 birthday gift of a skydiving jump from her friend Rachel Brouwer. And no: Brouwer had no intention of coming along for the ride.

“I had always wanted to go — but I wanted to share the experience with someone,” said Sullivan on Sunday, four days after her epic adventure. “I held off doing it because I didn’t find anyone. People were pretty hesitant.

“Then I was in Hope last week and on Monday I randomly texted Blake Hudie and he said ‘Sure!’”

Hudie, also 23, graduated with Sullivan. They had both been on airplanes before but neither had a history of great feats of bravery — or foolishness.

“I’m not afraid of heights but I’ve only ever hiked before. I think Mount Frosty is the high-est place I’ve been,” said Sullivan.

Hudie put up Playland’s old-school roller coaster as his most thrilling ride before last Wednesday. Amazingly, he still thinks the roller coaster was scarier.

“I haven’t done any other activities one might consider extreme, such as hang-gliding, bungee jumping, or even jumping off the cliffs at Kawkawa Lake,” said Hudie. “I’ve been zip-lining before, although I don’t consider it to be very daring.

“Initially, I was surprised at Kayla’s text mes-sage, as it’s not common to receive an invita-tion to go skydiving,” added Hudie. “However, my excitement quickly grew, as skydiving was one of the items on my bucket list.”

After getting suited up and oriented by staff at Skydive Vancouver’s Drop Zone in the Fraser lowlands of Abbotsford, Sullivan and Hudie were taken to the airstrip, where they would meet their instructors and board the airplane.

“We had five first-timers and five instructors, who have done thousands of jumps each,” said Sullivan. “They said on a busy weekend, they’ll have 100 jumpers in one day.”

These would be tandem jumps, with each instructor firmly harnessed to their first-timer. There wasn’t much chance to pick your place in the order according to Sullivan. The instructors left their previous partners at the landing zone, got loaded with a new parachute and came over to pair up with the new jumpers.

“The order of skydivers jumping out of the plane is determined on the order of which we climbed into the plane,” said Hudie. “As the last one on, I was the closest to the door and the first one out.”

Some guys have all the luck!After about a 10 minute climb to over 10,000 feet, they readied for the jump. “Although I would have liked to watch someone jump out before me, it was quite a simple

process,” said Hudie. “All you have to remember is to keep your legs and head back, and hips forward, as your instructor is the one who pushes you both out.

“Safety wasn’t a concern at this point,” said Hudie stoically. “I didn’t experience any anxi-ety until my feet were on the edge of the plane door, seconds before jumping out.”

By getting on the plane early, Sullivan had a chance to watch the early jumpers — and bail out on the looming leap, if things didn’t look comfortable.

“I definitely wanted to watch the first to go out,” she said, “but I wasn’t nervous at all. We were both very calm.” Out went Hudie and his instructor, Rob Spedder — they would soon reach about 200 km/h.

“I think people psych themselves out by working it up in their heads,” said Hudie. “But

once you enter free-fall for the first time, you’re going to feel the adrenaline.“Free-fall lasted for about 30 seconds, the first five of which I feel you spend adjusting to

the sensation. For the rest of the fall, sheer excitement and feelings of empowerment take over.”

Sullivan likened the first few seconds to the feeling you get when you descend in a quick elevator.

“After that, the instructor taps you on the shoulder and you can put your arms out,” said Sullivan. “It felt so surreal! You feel like you’re floating — though you definitely need goggles for the free-fall.

“We could see all the way to Hope. When the parachute is drawn, you get pulled back for a second, then you float.”

Hudie figured the floating lasted three to five minutes.“I didn’t realize it before, but you have a lot of control with the parachutes. They maneu-

ver well, and can brake very swiftly,” he said. “My instructor let me handle the parachute for some time before playing around with it himself. The landing itself was very soft, with almost no impact.

“I felt safer jumping out of the plane than riding on the wooden roller coaster at Playland, so if you’ve ever been on — and enjoyed the roller coaster, I highly recommend saying ‘yes’ if a friend ever invites you to go skydiving.”

Skydiving a sport for the adventurous of heart

“Are we actually going to do this?” Hope Secondary grads of 2010, Blake Hudie and Kayla Sullivan prepare their nerves for their first-ever skydiving session, at Abbotsford last week.

PETERS, Frederick Gerald

Frederick “Slim” Gerald Peters passed away peacefully sur-rounded by family and friends on August 15, 2015 at Fraser Canyon Hospice at the age of 53. Slim was known for his selfl essness and kindness of heart. He earned the respect and love of his family, co-workers and many lifelong friends. He was a goaltender for the Seabird Island Men’s Soccer Club. He was an avid sports fan and music lover with an incredible memory for stats and players in football, hockey and his favorite bands and music. He carried on the teachings of his Grandmother who taught him how to wind dry fi sh to provide for the fami-ly. He also loved sport fi shing for salmon and halibut on the West coast. Trout fi shing and duck hunting were lifelong en-deavors. He was a high school graduate from Agassiz Secondary School. He was a Class C welder and held many certifi cates like First Aid. He worked primarily for Serpen-tine Cedar in Fort Langley and on the Coast. His presence will be missed but his spirit, smile, wit and laughter will be a comfort and a happy memo-ry to us all. The family wishes to express heartfelt gratitude to Dr. J.P. Greggain and the wonderful nurses of Fraser Canyon Hospital and Hospice for their kindness, care and compassion. A special thank you to Seabird Island Health Department and staff. Prayers will be held at Seabird Island Gym on August 21, 2015 at 7 pm. A Traditional Service will be held on August 22, 2015 at 10 am at Seabird Island Band Gym. Online condolences may be offered at www.woodlawn-mtcheam.ca.
