Heavy rain over the weekend led to a washout 21 kilometres up Silver Skagit Road Sunday morning. A section of the road was washed away, leaving a gap five to seven metres wide and 1.5 to two metres deep. “The culverts couldn’t handle the volume of water coming down and it started to run across the road,” said Doug Wilson, area bridges manager for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. “Once it started running across the road, it

cut some trenches in there and got in behind the culverts and washed out the road.” The washout prevented about 70 travellers, including a boy scout group, from leaving Skagit Valley Provincial Park. Jamie Davis Towing installed a low-bed truck as a temporary bridge to transport 34 vehicles across the culvert on Sunday. The road was shut down to all drivers heading to the park for several days as Emil Anderson worked on permanent repairs. Wilson said the ministry is currently on high alert in the region

as temperatures rise. The weekend rain has added to the rapid snow melt in the area. The District of Hope is also keeping a close eye on the Fraser River and is involved in daily conference calls with the province to stay upto-date on the flood threat. A high streamflow advisory was issued Sunday for the Lower Fraser River, with heavy flows measured at Hope and Mission. Flows are forecast to reach 11,500 to 13,000 cubic metres per second at Hope by late Thursday or Friday. “We could see some high water volumes we haven’t seen in 40

years,” said fire chief Tom DeSorcy, who is also Hope’s emergency preparedness coordinator. “Right now we’re reacting to the expected rise of the Fraser. The weather is just part of the spring freshet and will contribute to the rivers that feed into the Fraser and the Fraser itself.” In anticipation of the high water levels, the district has closed Rotary Trails and Wardle Street, between Seventh and Allison avenues. DeSorcy warns that other areas along the river will likely be shut down due to flooding this week, including Landstrom, Tom Berry and Bristol Island roads.

A math lesson at Silver Creek Elementary has turned into a fundraising initiative that’s gaining momentum throughout Hope. Catina Carpenter’s kindergarten class started collecting pop tabs in January to help children with spina bifida. “I thought it would be good way for these guys to do a community project, but also incorporate their math (skills) using counting of the pop tabs and weighing of the pop tabs,” she said. The project reinforces one of the kindergarden curriculum outcomes, Carpenter added, which is helping

students learn they are “part of a school community, family com-

munity and a town.” The entire school quickly got behind the

project and soon donations were pouring in from every classroom.

In the last six months, a total of 29,830 tabs have been collected. C.E. Barry Intermediate School students Alexa Wyatt and Sarah Isbister are now running a similar pop tab initiative at their school to help children with spina bifida. Pop tabs can be dropped at the C.E. Barry office until June 28. Both collections will be presented to the Chilliwack Kiwanis Club, who will then pass it on to the Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Association of B.C. this summer. The high grade aluminum used to make pop tabs can be sold and the money used to help offset the costs of expensive wheelchairs and leg braces.

Hope hang glider dies in Lumby crash A Hope hang glider pilot has died following an accident northwest of Lumby last week. Richard Michael Wood, 38, was flying solo from a popular location known as Coopers Launch. Shortly before 2 p.m. on June 11, he was coming in for a landing when something went wrong and he crashed into the landing field. “Early indications are the pilot was a reasonably experienced glider,” said

RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “Witnesses say he was approaching for a landing when he stalled the glider and hit ground with one wing which caused it to go into a cartwheel motion. He then hit ground with full force.” Wood suffered serious injuries and was taken by air to Kelowna General Hospital. He remained in critical condition in the intensive care unit for several days,

before passing away late Friday. Wood’s death is the second hang glider accident in B.C. in the past six weeks. Lenami Godinez Avila died on April 28 in an incident on Mount Woodside in Agassiz. In addition, Barry Kleiter died while operating a powered paraglider on June 7 following an incident near Enderby. The B.C. Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate all three deaths.

Revving up for Canada Day Classic Car Show returns to Memorial Park on July 1 Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

Local car enthusiasts are gearing up for the seventh annual Canada Day Classic Car Show in Hope. The event will be in a new location this year, taking over the grass field in Memorial Park from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on July 1. “Even if you’re not a car person, it’s still fun to take a look and see the generations of vehicles and how they change,” said event organizer Scott Medlock. “I think people like coming to Hope because it’s very laid back. It’s a nice place to spend an afternoon.” The event continues to attract cars and trucks from around the province and Washington State. Open to all types of vehicles, the show features everything from Al Crook’s 1920s steam roller to new modified stock cars. Medlock anticipates there will be about 200

entries this year. Last year, registration was slightly down due to the mudslide near Herrling Island on Highway 1 a couple days before. The car show is sponsored by the local Chamber of Commerce, Lordco, Kal Tire and Canyon Cable. Registration is by donation, with all proceeds going towards local Chamber of Commerce initiatives. The first 100 vehicles will receive a collector dash plaque. A crowd favourite award will also be handed out at the end of the day. The car show is taking place in conjunction with the B.C. Strongman Competition on Wallace Street, which begins at 10 a.m. Competitors will test their strength in numerous events including the car dead lift, truck pull, tire flip, and log press. Mayor Susan Johnston will kick off the July 1 festivities in Memorial Park with opening remarks at 9:45

Pharmacists put auxiliary labels on prescription bottles to highlight something important about the drug within. At this time of year, you may see a label that says to avoid overexposure to the sun. It’s important to heed this warning. You can be more susceptible to sunburn due to the drug causing photosensitivity reactions. When you are choosing a sun screen product, look for the ones labeled broad spectrum and have a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 15 or higher. This will better protect your

skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Also remember to put enough lotion on the skin. To ensure you get the full beneÀt from your sunscreen, you need to apply at least 1 oz. Many people apply much less and the SPF rating of 15 can actually be much less. To allow the sunscreen ingredients to bind to the skin, apply at least 30 minutes before sun exposure. Many people take Àsh oil capsules daily for better heart health. They take them for their omega-3 fatty acid content. One of the side effects

for some people is a Àshy aftertaste. This can be avoided by storing the capsules in the freezer. It won’t affect their action but will eliminate that Àshiness afterwards. Now more than ever, pharmacists can work with you and your doctor to make sure you’re as healthy as you can be. Talk to your pharmacist today.

Job search, assistance benefits extended

Black Press

The B.C. government is extending the mandatory job search for new income assistance applicants from three to five weeks, and increasing the amount of earned income people can keep without losing part of their welfare payments. Premier Christy Clark and Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux announced a list of reforms to the income assistance program last Monday. Employable social assistance recipients will now be able to earn up to $200 per month without losing benefits, and recipients will be required to file income tax returns. Cadieux said B.C. was the only province that

deducted all the earned income from employable people. The $200 exemption will allow them to develop skills and take advantage of temporary work that becomes available, she said. People receiving disability benefits will now be able to retain up to $800 a month, up from $500. The exempted

earnings can also be calculated as $9,600 a year, to allow disabled people to work more during times when their health allows it. Families on income assistance will get an increased school startup supplement before each school year, up from $84 to $100 for each child aged five to 11, and an increase from $116 to

$175 for children 12 and over who are returning to school. Clark said the total cost to taxpayers for enhanced benefits will be about $5 million per year. The government is also easing restrictions on assets people can keep while collecting income assistance. A single person can have up to $2,000, including cash, while families are allowed to have up to $4,000 in assets. Disability assistance recipients can have up to $5,000 worth of assets for individuals and $10,000 for couples and families. Clients who are expected to work can keep a vehicle valued at up to $10,000. Cadieux said the opening of 85 WorkBC centres in April will help people find work and get off income assistance.

SD 78 bolsters aboriginal education A colourful ceremony on Monday night marked the signing of the second Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement (AEEA) to support aboriginal student achievement in the Fraser-Cascade school district. AEEAs are five-year agreements to enhance the education of aboriginal learners through programs and actions that promote academic success, positive self-esteem and cultural awareness.

“As we work to help make aboriginal students welcomed and valued in our schools, we also provide an opportunity for all students to benefit from the rich culture and history of the Stó:lo, Nlaka’pamux and Yale Nations,” said board chair Ron Johnstone. A traditional dinner was served before the signing ceremony, which featured a welcome and honour song by the Chawathil First Nation. The second Fraser-Cascade

AEEA was developed through staff and community consultation with representatives from 13 First Nation bands as well as offreserve delegates from the Métis Nation of B.C., Hope, Boston Bar and Agassiz. Since signing the first AEEA in 2006, the Fraser-Cascade school district has noted an increase in academic achievement among aboriginal students, who make up more than one third of the district’s student population.

Opinion

Temporary court fix Last week, a 20-year-old man from Surrey received a month in jail for his part in the Stanley Cup riots, which took place just over a year ago. Many people are hoping this sets a precedent for future sentencing, and it should. A one-month term for taking part in a riot, in which millions of dollars in property damage was done, police were assaulted, 150 were injured and the global reputation of the Vancouver area was severely damaged, is light punishment. However, it is likely that many of those charged will not receive any punishment. Their cases may well be thrown out of court because of excessive delay, due to the severely plugged nature of the court system. If a case is delayed for 18 months or longer, through no fault of the defence, it is quite likely it will not come to trial. This is unacceptable. While it says volumes about the state of the court system, something that few people pay attention to unless they are directly involved, it sends a bad message to the rioters. It tells them that they should do all they can to delay the process until they are charged. And, they should not plead guilty. As a result, they may see their case dropped. The provincial government should set up a temporary court which can solely deal with riot cases. Everyone who is charged in connection with the riot should face trial, and do time if found guilty. If such a temporary court proves to work well, it could be used in other situations – such as to relieve system congestion in speciﬁc areas. If rioters are able to get off without any consequences because of a backlog of cases, the criminal justice system needs some creative ﬁxing. The province can do something about this – now. Authority must trump lawlessness. – Black Press

Choosing work instead of welfare B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher The B.C. government has taken some modest steps to tighten up the province’s income assistance system, and to encourage people to work when they are able to. With Premier Christy Clark swooping in to take credit, Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux unveiled changes that included fixing the worst mistake in B.C. Liberal policy. Cadieux acknowledged that B.C. was the only province that clawed back all earnings from employable welfare recipients, and she announced that from now on they will be able to earn up to $200 a month without penalty. The exemption for disabled people is increased from $500 to $800 a month.

OFFICE HOURS Mon.-Wed. & Fri. 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Another important change is requiring welfare recipients to file income tax returns. People can now do temporary work when it comes along, report the income and take advantage of the various tax credits that come from participating in society instead of just living off it. Any experience earning money is valuable experience. With baby boomers starting to retire in big numbers, the expected labour shortage has begun across Western Canada. And yet, increasing numbers of foreign workers are coming in to do farm and other work, while many young people are unemployed. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon took note of this during his budget preparations. Increasing numbers of young, employable people were applying for welfare in southern B.C., while jobs go begging in the booming northeast. Falcon mused about setting up a program to provide

er they do the work or not. The culture assumes self-esteem is more important than achievement. The teachers’ union constantly sets an example that the way to get what you want is to stamp your feet and demand it from government. What do we expect young people to learn? And how easy is it for B.C. to slip into a Greece-like tailspin, where a majority expects to be carried on the backs of the shrinking minority who do productive work? Old-timers might recall when Mike Harcourt’s NDP government took over from the allegedly miserly Social Credit regime and raised welfare rates. They compounded that mistake by relaxing eligibility rules and making it easier for employable people to stay on welfare. After a couple of years of this wealth redistribution, 10 per cent of the B.C. population was on welfare, with more pil-

training and plane fare for these people, an idea quickly dubbed “welfare air.” Another effort to get young people working is Jobfest, a rock-themed road show currently touring northern B.C. towns. It attracts young people with music and souvenirs like

If Jobfest and welfare air sound a bit desperate, it’s because they are. They illustrate our society’s problem. We have a public school system where students pass wheth-

ing on every day. Faced with the results of this staggering blunder, Harcourt lashed out at “cheats, deadbeats and varmints” scamming B.C. taxpayers and launched a crackdown on fraud. Later the NDP cut the basic rate for single employables to $500 a month. Today it stands at $610, and the NDP looks poised to repeat history. Surrey MLA Jagrup Brar did a month-long publicity stunt in January, living on welfare by wandering from shelter to food bank with TV cameras trailing behind. Brar would have been better off if welfare air had been available. Instead of learning to live off the burgeoning urban handout industry, he could have gone up to Dawson Creek or Fort St. John and worked as a labourer.

Letters

Disappointed with grad celebration teachers and students too seem determined to dishonour and disregard the process. Each of the grads at this ceremony proudly displayed what was obviously very expensive formal dress attire, certainly bought out of town since the many former local vendors of such wares have all closed due to lack of patronage. Limousines had been rented for some of the attendees – these also from out of town. But the capper was that despite to availability of local venues large enough and good enough to host the occasion, the whole gala event was held instead at the copper room of the Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa. The dinner was a mediocre buffet (my friend has owned a catering company, she

should know), for which the establishment required a jaw dropping $50 per plate. As the venue was not a hall booked for the occasion but rather was an active hotel banquet room, no decorating for the occasion was possible or seen. By my friends’ very conservative estimate, in order to ‘honour’ the graduating class of 2012 in this manner, at least 50,000 Hope dollars flowed right out of the community. What could possibly be the reason for such a decision? Was it some wish to hold the dinner in some ‘exotic’ location, or was it shame in one’s own community? I can’t speak for everyone, but to my way of thinking any shame falls ‘somewhere else.’ Mike Stuart

Yale Strawberry Tea Enforcement of illegal showcased Mason history dumping lacking Re: Trash troubles plague area (June 13) Congratulations to the Flexhaug family regarding their attempts to keep the Silver Skagit portion of our beautiful watershed free of garbage. Mr. Flexhaug should be made a CEO of our Ministry of Environment. I would hope that the first thing he would do would be to fire all present day conservation officers who have never laid a charge for this type of illegal dumping. It was my experience, when I was a conservation officer, that people responsible for illegal dumping could

usually be identified by the items left in the trash, i.e. envelopes with names and addresses. I would then contact these people via registered letter, giving them 10 days to clean up the mess or face charges. This was remarkably effective. It would be interesting to know how many charges pertaining to illegal dumping have been laid by enforcement officers in recent years. Enforcement is seriously lacking. I suspect this is the case in both our federal and provincial governments. Jack DeLair

The members of the Mt. Hope Lodge of Freemasons would like to thank the Yale Historical Society for their invitation to participate in the Strawberry Tea festival. The lodge held an emulation of a meeting from 1881 in the historic St. John the Divine Church. Although you would not know that any masons participated in this event from the article or pictures in The

Hope Standard on June 13, there were masons from Vancouver, New Westminster, West Vancouver, Abbotsford and Chilliwack as well as Hope who enjoyed the friendly hospitality of the costumed participants and their stories of the historical importance of Yale.

A couple, both former Hope residents who are good friends of mine, travelled from out of town in order to escort one of the graduating students at her ceremony. Participating in the evening as they did, these former townspeople had to voice their disappointment at the affair and when I heard their position, I had to agree. Just as other writers to this paper’s editorial section in former years have noted, once again a town that raised and educated a generation is shunned when it’s time for that class to celebrate their coming out into the world. For being a town that is trying to re-establish itself financially after its recent loss of so many industries, many if Hope’s

HOW TO PLAY:

Camping in June can be both a good thing and a bad thing. I had the good fortune to spend several days by the Fraser River with family from overseas and the Interior this past weekend, and we were able to spend a few days being tourists right here in Hope. Walking “up town” nearly every day, all were impressed by the beauty and friendliness of our little community. That’s the good thing. The bad thing is, as we know, the weather can be less than cooperative. But June is like that. So now I’m back at the library and gearing up for summer. Because we’ll have summer programs whether or not the weather improves – maybe our move from winter hours to summer hours on June 24 (the library is closed on Sundays in July and August) will bring the sun and warm! Hope Deb Ireland so. The summer months tend to be busy at the library with the wide variety of reading clubs, people looking for a good beach read, information and/or a cool place to relax, coupled with tourists coming in to tap into our free wireless and to use the computers. Always something happening. Planning a summer getaway? You can still enjoy your library while on vacation by visiting before you

Sports

Taking hockey to the next level Local player receives a Canuck Alumni scholarship, while another prepares for international exchange tryouts Hope Standard

They’re both hockey defencemen, they both shoot left — and they both have the right stuff that will take them to new opportunities, thanks to the experiences provided by Hope Minor Hockey. Seventeen-year-old Donavan John is closing out his 12 years in minor hockey and heading off to Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, where he hopes to mix hockey with his science studies. Eleven-year-old Brandon Pennell captained his atom A-2 Wildcats team this year, where he was scouted and invited to try out for a Western Canadian AAA hockey exchange team that will be travelling in Europe next summer. John was selected as Hope’s representative to the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association’s annual midget C scholarship tournament in March. His team won the four-team event but John didn’t come home with any awards at the time. “One player from each team got a $500 scholarship for the best overall performance,” said John on Monday. “I didn’t win that — but there were two more scholarships to apply for and I applied for both. “In the application, they wanted to know about my community service, so I talked about my drumming and singing group that we did in Hope for the Olympic Torch Run and the Paralympic Torch Run and also at the Paralympics in Vancouver. I also helped fundraise for our grad class this year.” John’s record in hockey helped pad his application. He was captain of the midget C Wildcats last year and assistant captain this year — and his penalty minutes averaged under 20 minutes total for each of his three years in midget hockey. Academic achievement also stood in John’s favour, as he has been on the Hope Secondary honour roll or merit list for most of his five years at the school.

BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD

Two Hope Minor Hockey players are taking their love of the game to higher heights this summer. Seventeenyear-old Donavan John has won a $750 Pat Quinn Scholarship from the Canuck Alumni, which he will use at Thompson Rivers University in September — and 11-year-old Brandon Pennell has been invited to the Western Canadian AAA International Hockey Exchange tryouts in Ponoka Alberta in August.

In the end, John was awarded the $750 Pat Quinn scholarship from the Vancouver Canuck Alumni association.

“That will go toward my first year at Thompson Rivers University,” said John. “I want to take physics, astronomy and mathematics for

sure, leading to a Bachelor of Science. “There are a couple of job options that I find interesting. One

is in astrophysics and the other is aerospace engineering. “I’m definitely going to try out for whatever hockey team they have up there,” he added. “I plan to be up there before September, most likely staying in on-campus housing.” Pennell has a few more years before he has to worry about university housing. For now, his big challenge is to make the prestigious team he has been invited to try out for. He and his Hope Wildcats atom rep team were playing in a Christmas break tournament at Abbotsford and — unbeknownst to Pennell — there was a scout in the stands, looking for standout players. Pennell only found out later, after his parents had some time to digest what the scout had told them. “He was watching me and he asked my brother Justin where my parents were and he talked to my parents,” said Pennell on Monday. “He told them that he liked everything that I did but I had to work on my shooting.” Through the parents, the scout invited Pennell to try out for the Western Canadian AAA International Hockey Exchange team, which would be touring Europe in 2013. “It was such a shock to me and Larry,” said Brandon’s mom, Terri. “Brandon was the only one invited from his team and there were only three invited from the whole tournament. “We were invited out for a pretryout camp in Bashaw, Alberta (northeast of Red Deer) in March,” said Terri. Prospective players were run through drills with this year’s team. “Brandon was on the ice for a total of six hours in one day. It was quite something.” He’s not there yet — but if Brandon makes the team, he’ll be going to Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Italy and Switzerland in a two-week whirlwind trip next year, playing select teams along the way.

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.

District of Hope

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Pursuant to Section 892 of the Local Government Act, notice is hereby given that the District of Hope will conduct a Public Hearing with respect to District of Hope Zoning Bylaw No. 33/96, Amendment Bylaw 2012, No. 1323 (hereinafter referred to as Bylaw 1323).

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.
