Police nab alleged drug traffickers RCMP investigation leads to arrest of three local pub employees
Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
Hope RCMP has arrested three Silver Chalice Pub employees allegedly involved with drug trafficking. The arrests resulted from an investigation conducted by the Hope plain clothes unit, which was launched after police received
a Crime Stoppers tip on Dec. 19, 2012. Investigators found evidence that a 32-year-old woman was trafficking narcotics from the pub, with the assistance of two other employees. On Feb. 16 at about 6 p.m., the woman was arrested at work after police obtained evidence

that drug trafficking had just occurred. A 38-year-old female and a 58-year-old man were also arrested for the same offence. The three have since been released on several conditions. “Police often hear rumors of drug activity from members of the community, however, rumors

do not hold up in court,” said Staff Sgt. Suki Manj. “It is only when members of the community decide to speak up, and provide us with specific information, that we can make arrests and recommend charges. We encourage the public to report crime when they see it, as it is an invaluable tool for us.”

Nine laptop computers and a projector have been stolen from Boston Bar Elementary Secondary School. The RCMP were called to the school last week following an overnight break and enter that had occurred sometime between 9 p.m. on Feb. 19 and 6 a.m. on
Feb. 20. “This is a crime that directly impacts kids and their ability to learn,” said Const. Tracy Wolbeck. “This can be very traumatic to kids, particular young kids who are left feeling like a victim because of what has happened at
their school. School is supposed to be the safest place away from home for children and this really upsets that balance for them.” Anyone with information is asked to call the Boston Bar detachment at 604-867-9333 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS).

Hope Cinema is hosting an action-packed fundraiser on March 7. The evening will showcase six to eight award-winning films from the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival, spanning diverse topics such as mountain climbing, skiing, paddling, biking, culture, and environment. Proceeds from ticket sales will support Hope Mountain Centre (HMC) programming and trail building efforts. “We try and show the maximum variety,” said HMC program director Kelly Pearce, adding that the films range in length from five to 40 minters. “It’s a celebration of the outdoors and mountain culture. What we’re really showing is the best of the fest.” This is the sixth annual event in Hope, but the first time Hope Cinema will be projecting the films through a new state-ofthe-art digital projector. “Whether you’re an experi-

all, someone does some crazy new thing.” Since 1998, the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival has evolved from a threeday event at one venue with an audience of 1,700 to a nine-day
event in North Vancouver and Vancouver in several venues with live presentations, films, photography, live music, and international film and photo competitions. Additionally, it now travels to about 30 communities with the Best of the Fest Tour, and runs additional shows at the Fall Speaker Series in North Vancouver. The festival aims to illustrate experiences and cultures from all corners of the globe, bring international and local filmmakers and photographers together with international competitions, and promote positive life values and an active lifestyle. The festival in Hope starts at 7 p.m. at Hope Cinema, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Door prizes will be drawn at intermission. Advance tickets are $10 at Blue Moose Coffee House, Hope Cinema, and Pharmasave. They are also available at the door for $12. For more information, visit www.hopemountain.org
B.C. budget borrows NDP tax hikes Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. Liberals’ pre-election budget proposes to implement income tax increases on business and higher-income individuals, similar to proposals from the NDP opposition. The corporate income tax rate would rise one point to 11 per cent effective April 1, accelerating by a year an increase announced in 2012. NDP leader Adrian Dix has
repeatedly promised to increase the corporate rate to 12 per cent, where it was in 2008. In Finance Minister Mike de Jong’s budget, tabled last Tuesday, personal income taxes for those earning $150,000 or more would rise 2.1 per cent to 16.8 per cent for two years, starting next January. That increase is to be rolled back to the current rate of 14.7 per cent in 2015, de Jong said. Dix has indicated
that if the NDP forms government, he would impose an income tax increase for those earning $150,000 or more a year, with specifics promised in the NDP election platform. De Jong stressed that B.C.’s personal income tax rates are still the lowest in Canada for those earning up to $122,000 a year. With a provincial election set for May 14, this budget will not be passed by the time the brief legislature session
ends in late March. Its measures are part of a campaign platform for Clark’s government, and the winner of the election must pass a budget in the fall. Also proposed is a tobacco tax hike of $2 per carton of cigarettes. De Jong said the effective date is held off until Oct. 1 to give people time to quit smoking, with 100,000 B.C. residents currently taking advantage of a provincial program offering free nicotine patches,
gum or approved prescription drugs. The last tobacco tax increase was seven per cent when the harmonized sales tax was implemented in 2010, replacing the provincial sales tax that didn’t apply to tobacco. That tax is to be retained when the province reverts to the PST on April 1. De Jong’s budget also proposes to phase out school property tax credits for light industry for the 2013 budget year.

Hang-glider pilot William Jonathan Orders appeared in a Chilliwack courtroom last Monday, on two charges relating to the death of Lenami Godinez-Avila. While Orders was originally charged with obstructing justice, for swallowing a memory card containing video images of the fatal launch, he has now also been charged with criminal negligence causing death. Godinez-Avila, 27, died near Agassiz on April 28, 2012, when she fell from a hang-glider being piloted by Orders. As it was the government worker’s first time hang-gliding, she was flying tandem with Orders. Shortly after launch, at Mt. Woodside, Orders apparently realized something had gone wrong and Godinez was slipping out of her harness. He was unable to hold onto

her, however, and she was unable to hold onto his legs. The woman came free from
the harness and fell about 1,000 ft. to her death. At the scene, Orders swal-
lowed a memory card that was used that day to record the event. He was charged with obstruction of justice for that action, and held in police custody for several days until the card could be retrieved. Following the death, Orders issued a public apology and announced that he would not return to hang gliding. While the investigation into Godinez-Avila’s death was completed last year, the results have not yet been released. While trial confirmation was set last June, Orders’ lawyer, Laird Cruickshank, asked the court to allow time to consider the new charges. Cruickshank also requested that a condition be removed that requires his client to attend all court dates, which was granted. The case will be heard next on March 12, with the possibility of a preliminary hearing in mid-April.
Seniors program expands to Hope Hope has been selected as a new site for the United Way’s Better at Home program. The program is designed to help seniors live in their own homes longer by providing simple non-medical support. “Services might include light housekeeping, grocery shopping, simple home repairs, transportation to appointments, friendly visiting, snow shovelling or light yard work,” said Wayne Green, executive director of United Way of the Fraser Valley.
“The purpose of this program is to provide tools to allow seniors to age in their homes, and will increase independence for seniors.” As part of the preparation for Better at Home program, a local non-profit agency will be identified as the lead agency. Better at Home is funded for three years by the provincial government and administered through United Way of the Lower Mainland. “We hope that the BC Ministry of
Health will see that the investments made in assisting seniors maintain their independence will realize significant savings to healthcare,” said Green. “It would be a win-win for seniors and the provincial taxpayers.” In the most recent announcement about the program, Mission and Chilliwack were also named as Better at Home communities.

defence lawyers to delay cases, and a “culture of delay” that resists change. “During the review there was a general sense that judges and lawyers have their own, insulated sense of what constitutes timeliness and responsiveness,” Cowper wrote. He also found there is an average of seven appearances by the accused in a criminal case before it goes to trial. Asked about those problems, Simmons said there are pilot projects underway to expand the use of video conferencing in courts. Judges from out of town can preside over simpler procedures, such as bail or remand hearings.

Women’s Day media contest has $1,000 grand prize Submission deadline is March 1
Alina Konevski Black Press
Local students are invited to create an art piece in just about any medium for a competition to raise awareness about violence against women. The prize: up to $1,000 in cash. In partnership with ChilliwackHope MLA Gwen O’Mahony, the Chilliwack chapter of Soroptimist International, a woman-focussed non-profit, is celebrating Women’s Day on March 8 with a showcase of multimedia pieces under the banner “Standing Together: A new generation united against violence.” Middle and high school students are given “free reign” to submit entries in a variety of formats, including print, photography, video, online, and PowerPoint by 5 p.m. on Friday, March 1. First prize is $1,000, second is $500, and third is $250. It’s an opportunity to engage the younger generation in the ongoing issue, explains O’Mahony. The judges will be members of the local media, including Jen-
nifer Feinberg of the Chilliwack Progress, Sadie from The Hawk, Star FM’s Lisa Stevens, and Geoff Edwards, from multimedia company steamworks.ca. “We want to do something meaningful for this work, as something (the students) can actually put on their resume at the end of the day. But at the same time get recognition from the community itself,” says O’Mahony. All submissions will be displayed for a grand event on Friday, March 8, 1–4 p.m., at St. Thomas Anglican Church Ministry Centre (46048 Gore Avenue). Half art show, half women’s expo, the day will include a host of other activities, including presentations by some of the community’s female leaders. The final list isn’t confirmed, but so far bankruptcy trustee Sheila Smelt and personal trainer Tanja Shaw have signed on. Local businesses and non-profit organizations can also set up tables to network. And some of the Chilliwack Huskers will be there in support. “If the violence cycle stops at
the young person, then it’s not going to continue through adulthood and into the next generation,” says Anita Rogers, president of the Chilliwack Soroptimists. The group has been in the community for 76 years, and organizes an annual scholarship competition, in addition to other events that bring attention to issues that involve women. This is their first Women’s Day event. The event is inspired by the Be More Than a Bystander campaign, of the BC Lions and the End Violence Association of BC. Province-wide, groups are joining forces to end violence against women, including the annual Moose Hide campaign by the B.C. Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres, which brings men to stand together against violence toward Aboriginal women and children. The contest is open to students living in the Chilliwack and Chilliwack-Hope ridings. Email media contest entries to: anita@legacypacific.com or gwen.o’mahony. mla@leg.bc.ca.

Opinion Published at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press
Necessary tax increases
The BC Liberal government’s plans to boost income taxes on business and highincome earners takes a page out of the NDP opposition’s plans, and makes sense. The NDP plan had called for the corporate tax rate to go to 12 per cent, where it stood in 2008. The BC Liberals are boosting the corporate tax rate to 11 per cent on April 1. The provincial government also will impose a higher personal income tax rate on individuals with incomes of $150,000 or more. Their provincial income taxes will rise 2.1 per cent to a rate of 16.8 per cent, as of Jan. 1, 2014. Both of these tax increases are necessary at this time, given the financial shackles the province is in. It has been running large deficits, at least partly because of much lower natural gas prices, which have affected government revenues. The province is claiming it will balance the budget in 2013-14, largely because it plans to sell more than $600 million in surplus property. Given that the real estate market has softened somewhat, that is probably an optimistic figure. There is nothing wrong with selling surplus properties, but there are probably too many properties on this list. The provincial government is also boosting MSP premiums again next year. This is completely unfair to moderate income earners, who do not get the exemption from paying the premiums that goes to low income people. This will be the fifth year in a row the premiums will increase, and they will have jumped by 28 per cent since 2008. There should be no additional boost in MSP premiums. This budget is crafted with the May 14 election in mind, and while its revenue assumptions may be sound, as economist Tim O’Neill asserted last week, it is very much a political document. It is designed to convince wavering voters that the BC Liberals are competent money managers. Over the course of the past 12 years, the Liberals have been sound money managers much of the time, but in recent years their record has been more mixed. The Liberals were hoping for a big boost in revenue through the HST, but that was torpedoed by voters because of the bumbling way the government brought in the tax. That hurt their reputation as competent managers. By adopting part of the NDP platform, the Liberals may have unintentionally telegraphed that the NDP too has good fiscal ideas. -Black Press

While clearly aimed at the surging shale gas industry in B.C., this hour-long program offers little about B.C.’s long history of gas development. Suzuki’s voice-over refers briefly to B.C.’s Oil and Gas Commission, insinuating it was set up as a pet regulator protecting the industry from stricter oversight. Mostly the show focuses on places like Dish, Texas and Dimock, Pennsylvania. The Texas segment
Box 1090 Hope, B.C. VOX 1LO
talks about traces of neurotoxins in residents’ blood samples, blaming this on gas drilling and “fracking,” the new swear word of professional environmentalists. The evidence shows some people have these traces in their blood, but others don’t, which suggests that more likely sources are cigarettes or exposure to disinfectants. Pennsylvania and Colorado are key stops for the anti-fracking crowd. For centuries there have been places known for methane dissolved in groundwater, typically from shallow coal seams. This is where you can find a rustic fellow to shake a jug of well water and touch his Bic lighter to it, producing a brief blue flame. The standard sequence moves to a sink and faucet, where a more impressive methane fireball is generated. Suzuki’s voice-over notes that this is the scene that really gets me-

dia attention. There’s no evidence that drilling caused it, but hey, it’s TV. Science, meet Hillbilly Handfishin’. Protest sequences take up much of the program. Moms rally against a gas well near a school in Erie, Pennsylvania, forcing evil Canadian corporation Encana to back off. An elderly Quebec woman sobs on camera, convinced that a nearby gas well will trigger a relapse of her cancer. One bit of local content is a segment on fracking-induced earthquakes, presented with sombre alarm by Ben Parfitt, go-to researcher for the anti-industry left in B.C. These are detectable by sensitive instruments, as is the case with some mining and other industrial activities, but according to the Oil and Gas Commission, they don’t do any actual harm. It should be noted that Suzuki

doesn’t do much beyond reading a script on these shows. He has people to load up the propaganda weaponry, just as his ghostwriter in Toronto cranks out the relatively innocuous weekly columns that run in some Black Press publications. In fairness, most episodes of The Nature of Things are in the original spirit of the show. A recent program on an ancient Egyptian aquifer, voiced by Suzuki over <I>National Geographic video footage, would be appropriate for a high school classroom. The same cannot be said for this anti-fracking screed, which is plainly and recklessly calculated to twist public opinion against a crucial B.C. industry.

Conservatives are getting the job done Re: Protecting Canada’s environment, Letters (Feb. 13) Try as she might, Liberal Party of Canada environment critic Kirsty Duncan can’t hide the fact that when it comes to the environment, the Conservative government is getting the job done. The reality is our government has an enviable record on the environment. We’ve protected air and water and are making substantial investments in clean energy. Thanks to the Conservative government we’ve expanded the area protected by Parks
Canada by over 50 per cent. Between 2005 and 2010, greenhouse gas emissions have decreased by 6.5 per cent while the economy has grown by 6.3 per cent. Canada is now half way towards its 2020 target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 17 per cent from 2005 levels by 2020. According to the just released 2012 Progress Report on the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS), over the last year emissions of mercury are down 23 per cent. Lead was down 21 per cent, while sulfur oxides were seven per cent
lower and nitrogen oxide was down six per cent. These are just a few examples of real, measurable results our policies have achieved. Contrary to the assertions of the Liberal critic, we are cutting red tape – not protection. For example, our waterways continue to be protected under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, the Fisheries Act and the Migratory Birds Convention Act, as well as marine safety legislation. Speaking on the Conservative
government’s action on the environment, Scott Vaughan, Environment Commissioner, said “I don’t have the slightest doubt that this government is absolutely focused on actually closing the gaps that we have actually identified.” Our record stands in contrast to that of the Liberal Party of Canada. While they talked a good game they “didn’t get it done.” Our Conservative government will continue to deliver real results for our environment. Mark Strahl, MP Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon
Much is being made right now in the national media about the controversies surrounding several members of the “appointed” Senate. Some people are right now stating that it is overdue that the Senate be abolished. These people are only about thirty years behind the times. The federal NDP made this one of their central issues back in 1984. I know, because I was the federal NDP candidate in Niagara Falls. We had two central issues that we were instructed to comment on at every opportunity.
One issue was the illogical fact that retired MP’s received large pensions after only eight years in service. Their pensions should be geared to the number of years of service, much like it is in all other sectors of society. We were ignored on this issue. The second issue was a call for the complete elimination of the unelected Senate. Everyone knows that the Canadian Senate is copied after the old British “House of Lords,” where wealthy individuals are rewarded for their loyal service to the governing party. This patronage system is fund-
ed totally by the taxpayers of Canada. We felt then, and I feel now, that this system is undemocratic, completely unnecessary and should be eliminated immediately. In 1984, despite the fact that we made this a central issue across Canada, the national media ignored us and therefore- the local media across the country ignored us. I recall going on the local radio station and focused on this Senate issue. The radio moderator did his best to cut me off and to switch the conversation to other issues. Now, all of a sudden, everyone
and their cousins are jumping on the bandwagon. Where were these people 29 years ago? It seems that the NDP (as they often are) were 30 years beyond the times Once the national media and local media begin to catch up with the NDP, they may just discover a revelation – that the NDP can be looked at as an entity that indeed does predict the future for the betterment of us all. Are we now going to wait another 30 years before anything is done on this issue? Dick Harrington
Canadian Senate needs to be abolished
‘Big Oil’ influencing politics in B.C.
Is anyone else tired of endless BC Liberal government “Job action plan” ads trying to convince us that they are doing a good job? We hear now that the BC Liberals have raided our contingency funds to the tune of 15 million dollars for these ads which are now running in the most expensive advertising slots available, during the hockey games.
I want my money back. I want the bill to be paid for by the BC Liberals from funds they raised themselves. Oh, and that brings me to the appalling fact that the BC Liberals now hold fund raisers in Alberta. According to the Vancouver Sun, the invite to that event added that topics of discussion would include: “The very real risks posed by the NDP under its
leadership; How in transitioning from one free enterprise coalition leader to another, mistakes are acknowledged; How that coalition is re-grouping, and will beat back the challenge from the NDP.” Just what mistakes are they acknowledging? And who is this coalition they talk about? The BC Liberals, Albertans and Big Oil? It also alarms me that Ian An-
Newspaper story used ‘sensationalist wording’ I was very disappointed with the article “Adamson’s travel expenses under scrutiny” (The Hope Standard, Feb. 20). Sensationalist wording clearly implies that Area B representative Dennis Adamson squanders public funds, then deliberately tries to cover it up. Instead of indulging in a smear campaign, how about doing some responsible reporting that includes his accomplishments,
particularly how many dollars he has saved taxpayers. Mr. Adamson exhibits his “transparency and responsibility to taxpayers” (unlike other politicians) by spending his time amongst his constituents, always having time to speak with them on the sidewalk, at the rec centre, in shops, the park, at public events, meetings or in their homes. Elaine Wismer
Consider funding priorities Re: Start thinking about your vote, Letters (Feb. 13) As we lead up to an election in May, B.C. Liberal funding priorities need to be brought to the public’s attention. The recent TV and radio ad campaign, mostly touting the success of the BC Jobs Plan (while Statistics Canada research shows the opposite), is part of the Liberal’s $17 million advertising budget. Rather than spending taxpayer’s money on self-congratulatory advertising, “Families First” Premier Christy Clark could have chosen to hire 280 much-needed special education teachers. Let’s consider that fact when we vote. Lynne Marvell President, Fraser-Cascade Teachers’ Association
derson, the president of Kinder Morgan, will be a member of the board of governors of the Business Council of British Columbia in 2013. Seems to me that the influence of big oil over B.C. politics is growing by leaps and bounds. Let’s take back that control by voting appropriately in the upcoming provincial election. Sandra Forbes

Neighbourhoods steeped in history Inge Wilson Contributor
Each year the Heritage Society of British Columbia designates a theme for the annual Heritage Week celebration. This year’s focus was on “Good Neighbours: Heritage Homes and Neighbourhoods.” While the first thought brought to mind is that of a stately, ornate older home, we in Hope would be hard pressed to recognize many residential structures that date back to a time before 1900 so how does this theme relate to our area? Hope is fortunate to have Christ Church Anglican which dates back to 1861 and the Fraser Gold Rush era but there is not much else that dates back to such early times. Why is that? Hope’s beginning as a Hudson Bay Company fur trade fort and then as a centre of mining, logging and railway construction meant that all of our early settlers intended to stay here for only a short time ... just as long as the resources lasted or the construction was completed. They built homes that would suffice for their immediate needs not for generations to follow. If our founding families had come to farm or ranch – such as early families in Agassiz, Chilliwack, Abbotsford or Merritt – Hope would have had some gorgeous large pioneer homes. Another factor is fire. When everyone relied on wood fires for heat and oil lamps for light, fire became an all too often occurrence. Buildings, even entire neighbourhoods, made entirely of wood burned to the ground with regularity. This is how Hope lost all of the large stately hotels
that used to stand along Wallace Street for example. So how can we recognize the history of Hope in our community then? First look at the names of natural features around us ... there are many that herald back to the Halq’eméylem language place names of the Stó:lō First Nations people. These include the Coquihalla River and Kawkawa Lake. The Fraser River was named for the Northwest Company explorer Simon Fraser who passed through in 1808. Ogilvie Peak remembers John Drummond Buchanan Ogilvie who was posted to Fort Hope by the Hudson Bay Company in the 1850s and reputedly climbed to the top of this mountain to plant a Union Jack flag for Queen Victoria’s birthday in 1859. Other Hudson Bay Company employees are remembered in the names of the Anderson River, Peers Creek, Manson Ridge and McLeod Peak. Bristol Island recalls the contributions of Jeremiah Gilbert “ Billy” Bristol, a colourful character who worked on the river. Also look to street names in town for clues to our history. Hudson Bay Street and Fort Street relate back to the Hudson Bay Company fort that stood in this section of town starting in 1848. King Street and Queen Street got their names from the Royal Engineers regiment that was sent to British Columbia by the British Crown to assist in the establishment of the new colony. It was these men that laid out the town site of Hope. Dewdney Street recalls Edgar Dewdney, famous for building the Dewdney Trail from Hope to Wild Horse Creek in the Koote-
nays, a route that is now known as Highway 3 – The Crowsnest Highway. Raab Street recalls the contributions of early Hope businessman A.E. Raab, who was also the Chairman of the Village of Hope. Long time Hope families are recognized by Thacker, Corbett, Ryder and Stuart Streets. Interestingly our main street, Wallace Street, has but an obscure connection to our past. It is believed that a government surveyor gave this name to the roadway in 1859 to pay tribute to D. Peter William Wallace, surgeon-in-chief of the Royal Navy Hospital in Esquimalt from 1857 to 1865 and prior to that a doctor aboard the H.M.S. Satellite, the ship that brought members of the Boundary Commission to British Columbia. This same surveyor likely named Commission Street. Newer neighbourhoods recall contributions of more recent residents. Gardner Drive is named for the contributions of Keith (a.k.a. Bud) Gardner, long time local businessman and a past Mayor of Hope. The subdivision on Thacker Mountain was developed by Mallard Construction, hence Mallard drive. Another developer by the name of Kereluk established lots at the far side of Kawkawa Lake and Kereluk Road came into being. An entire area of Silver Creek owes its street names to carpenter/builder Marcel Gagnon who named streets for himself and his children – Marie, Peter and Yvonne. If you would like to know more about the neighbourhoods of Hope and how they relate to our past, drop by the Hope Visitor Centre & Museum Complex.

Unforgettable is a dazzling evening of musical theatre not to be missed, showcasing one of the most beloved performers of all time, Nat King Cole. Actor/singer Don Stewart honours Cole’s life through this marvelous production, Unforgettable: the Music of Nat King Cole, coming to the Cultural Centre on March 2 at 7:30 p.m. Come see why Cole was a beloved superstar whose appeal transcended the boundaries of race, culture, and geography just as Stewart transcends the years and becomes this musical giant. His legacy continues to this day because of his solid contribution to American music, his smooth jazz style, his charisma and his success as a black man during the 1960s. Stewart brings us this unmistakable music and a musical biography that ranges from Nat’s piano-playing days in low down dives and honkytonks to his breakthrough contract with Capitol Records. The whole story is there... his fight against racism at the studio and in his very own Hollywood neighbourhood. Stewart, with a unique style and a rich voice capable of great emotional
power and sensitivity, tells the stories of love, hurt and joy in a memorable and beautiful performance that will leave audience members transfixed. He has developed a sophisticated, elegant style that is as ‘unforgettable’ as Nat King Cole himself, and is sure to enchant all who hear him. “My thing is, nobody can be Nat King Cole,” says Stewart, “So I don’t even want to try. I just present what happened.” On stage, he serves as narrator in Unforgettable and moves in and out of character as required telling the story of Cole’s life through scenes, stories and over 40 memorable songs, including popular hits like Sweet Lorraine, Rambling Rose, Autumn Leaves and Route 66. Accompanying him is special guest Cayla Brooke who portrays the equally legendary Peggy Lee and a live jazz band led by Vancouver jazz pianist and musical director Ron Johnston. Join Stewart as he examines Nat King Coles relationships with the key people in his life packaged along with those unforgettable hit songs which have become part of the soundtrack of our lives.

Our shots just wouldn’t go “Our shots just wouldn’t in the net for the last two games go in the net for the last and we ran into two games and we ran foul trouble in into foul trouble in the the third and lost our edge. third and lost our edge.” “We didn’t make the cut for Tammy Nazarchuk Provincials.” For her con-

Those top two teams will go on to the BC championships in Prince George, March 6 to 9. “It was a great year,” said Nazarchuk. “I’m very proud of all of these young ladies. They are absolutely coachable and tons of fun! “We participated in four tournaments, including the Fraser Valley playoffs. “We have four upcoming Grade 11’s and two Grade 10’s — but we are losing five of our seniors this year, four of which I have coached

The team will be saying goodbye to five graduates: Steeves, Jaimie Peters, Kopola-Hoshowski and cousins Alex and Arden Sauvé. “It was tough for them, ending the season,” said the coach, “let alone not getting a spot to make it to the provincials. “It’s sad to see them go... but I have no doubt they will be successful and happy in their career choices and life.”

Hope Secondary was the site of the Fraser Valley single-A senior girls’ basketball championships last weekend, with Hope hosting the top six small-school teams from the Fraser Valley, from as far west as Port Coquitlam. Hope had finished in third place in the league, with a six-win, fourloss record. Head coach Tammy Nazarchuk said the tournament came to the eastern end of the valley when acting vice-principal Jason Fisher made the application and no one else offered. “I think we have a great facility and its nice to host events such as these,” said Nazarchuk, who shares the acting vice-principal role with Fisher. “Special thanks to [athletics coordinator] Alicia Dubois for putting it together.” At the semi-finals on Thursday, Hope was matched up against the BC Christian Academy Panthers of Port Coquitlam. Hope had met BCGA in the Mustangs’ tournament in December, narrowly hanging on to win 46-45. They had also beaten the Panthers 49-34, at home in January. In Thursday’s game, Hope started strong and the Panthers just couldn’t close the gap, as the Mustangs took it 55-32. Scoring leaders were Morgann Steeves with 14, Kelsey Striker with 12 and Betsie Kopola-Hoshowski with 10. “It was a very physical game.” said the coach. “Our timing was better, passes were quicker and the shots were on. And our press was on fire.” Scoring summaries for that game were not available by press time. The win put the Mustangs into the final four, with Hope going up against Langley’s Credo Christian on Friday, then Chilliwack’s Unity Christian on Saturday. It didn’t help that starting guard Mina Kim had blown her knee in practice earlier in the week — but the team also forgot how to shoot, said Nazarchuk. “We lost our momentum in the second and third game,” she said. “If you watched just the action and tenacity on the court, you
