Voter registration drive underway Enumeration day planned in Hope on March 18
Jessica Peters Black Press
Are you on the voters list? As the next provincial election nears, Elections BC is pulling out all the stops to make sure residents are ready to participate. Bev Kennedy, the district electoral officer for the ChilliwackHope riding, said that a massive registration drive is underway. Elections BC will be setting up shop in communities across the province, including Hope, so that
residents can easily drop in and see if their information is registered. The goal is that on voting day, May 14, stepping into a voting booth will be quicker and easier. In Hope, they’ll be set up at the recreation centre on Mar. 18, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. They’ll be visiting Agassiz on Mar. 21 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. as well Any resident of B.C. can stop by any of the enumeration days, Kennedy said. “We have a table set up with our
computer with the voters list on it and they can check if they’re registered,” she explained. One of the most common complaints on election day is that people assumed they were on the voters list, when in fact they aren’t. Those who are will receive a yellow card in the mail just prior to the election, informing them of the proper location to vote. Those who register during this province wide enumeration will also receive a card in the mail.
In addition to the registration drive, Elections BC is going doorto-door this year in order to update the voters list. While they won’t be knocking on every door, they will be visiting the newest developments, such as condo and townhouse developments, in order to educate the public. “We’ve put together a plan to catch the new places around the province,” Kennedy said. For more information, phone 1-800-661-8683 or visit www. elections.bc.ca.

Pedestrian hit on Wallace Street
Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
A Hope woman is in stable condition after being hit by a vehicle in the 300 block of Wallace Street last Thursday. Lucille Toy was crossing the street in front of Memorial
Park at about 2:30 p.m. when she was struck. After receiving notification about the accident, her son Galen found her lying in the middle of the crosswalk. Hope RCMP said there’s no indication of speed, but rather the man driving didn’t see her in time to stop. He remained at
the scene and cooperated with police. Galen said his mother suffered a broken hip and multiple fractures to her pelvis. She was transferred to the orthopedic ward at Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster and has since un-
dergone hip surgery. “It’s kind of one step at a time in terms of where we go from here,” said Galen. “She’s pretty tough and determined. On behalf of me and the family, thank you so much to the community for their concern and support.”
Nestle Waters receives manufacturing award
Nestle Waters Canada has achieved Excellence in Manufacturing standing from the Canadian Bottled Water Association (CBWA). The Hope bottling facility scored 97.7 and the Puslinch, Ontario plant received 97.4 following a surprise NSF International inspection. “This achievement confirms the commitment to manufacturing and logistics excellence by each and every one of our employees at our Hope and Puslinch plants,” said David Thorpe, director of supply chain. “It is important to note that there was no advance notice of the inspection. NSF International, which carried out the inspection on behalf of CBWA, audited our operations during a typical day in our manufacturing facilities. Each and every one of our employees
should be extremely proud of this achievement.” As a condition of CBWA membership, the company must pass the annual plant inspection. This inspection audits quality and testing records, reviews all areas of plant operation from source through finished product and checks adherence to the CBWA Model Code and its code of ethics. The CBWA code of ethics adheres to a philosophy of sustainable development, environmental protection and collaboration with local communities in the management of the water resource. A second condition of membership is that bottlers pass an annual water analysis administered by an independent governmentcertified laboratory and regularly conduct microbial testing by
qualified personnel. The CBWA Model Code is a quality assurance program with more extensive requirements than federal and provincial authorities demand.
Beyond federal and provincial regulations and regular annual inspections, CBWA bottlers like Nestle Waters Canada are subject to a third level of regulation involving inde-

Burleigh began her career in the French language training program in August 1985 and spent most of the first decade of her career in Montreal where she worked in

I have known her for a number of years and she has a common sense approach to policing and is a very open, caring individual,” said Superintendent Keith Robinson in the release.“ I am confident she will be a great asset to the communities of the Upper Fraser Valley and will be a positive influence to the UFVRD policing model.” Burleigh will take over as Detachment Commander in April, and will be promoted to Superintendent in the near future.
Senior abuse hotline expanded
Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. government has announced a $1 million boost to its seniors’ abuse protection programs, including extending the hours for a hotline to report suspicions of abuse or 3_13W_HATS13
commercial crime, customs and excise, proceeds of crime, anticorruption and on the Akwesasne Reserve. She transferred to the RCMP “E” Division in 1995 where she worked in general duty, commercial crime section, was the operations officer in Richmond and worked in professional standards and client services. Burleigh was also responsible for planning the RCMP response in Richmond during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Hope Mayor Susan Johnston, along with mayors from Chilliwack, Harrison Hot Springs, and Kent/Agassiz, participated in the
neglect. The bulk of the funding is to allow the Vancouver-based Seniors Abuse and Information Line to extend its hours to 12 hours a day, seven days a week. It offers information, advice and emotional support for seniors and their friends and relatives who suspect elderly people are being abused or taken advantage of. The number is 604437-1940 in Metro Vancouver and toll-free
province-wide at 1-866437-1940. Minister of State for Seniors Ralph Sultan said he has encountered abuse and exploitation of seniors in his own family, and it comes up frequently as he has travelled B.C. asking seniors and their caregivers what they need from government. In an interview, Sultan acknowledged that the funding is a modest effort to bolster volunteer efforts.
“It is a beginning step, but it also reflects the fact that this problem can not be solved topdown,” Sultan said. “It will have to be solved bottom-up by mobilizing many different organizations around the province.” The B.C. government also provided $1.4 million last year to the B.C. Association of Community Response Networks, for prevention and education to reduce elder abuse and neglect.

Premier endorses Kitimat refinery
Tom Fletcher Black Press
Premier Christy Clark surprised the opposition last Thursday with a statement in the B.C. legislature endorsing a proposed heavy oil refinery near Kitimat. Clark emphasized that the project would be subject to the five conditions about environmental safety and aboriginal consultation that she has demanded for heavy oil pipelines. But she praised the job creation potential and added that a refinery would help supply the “fair share” of benefits for B.C. that is her most controversial condition. David Black, owner of the Black Press newspaper group in B.C., Alberta and the U.S., set up a separate company called Kitimat Clean Ltd. last year to develop the refinery plan and seek permits from the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office. Black announced this week that he is finalizing details for $25 billion in financing and purchase agreements for the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel that the plant would produce.
“Our government takes the view that we should work together to address legitimate environmental and safety concerns and find a way to get to yes on projects that will grow our economy,” Clark said, adding that the B.C. government has been working with Black’s team to secure a suitable site. Energy Minister Rich Coleman said there is Crown land in the Kitimat area held in an industrial reserve that could be leased or sold to the company for use of the land. Black’s proposal specifies a 3,000-hectare site 25 km north of Kitimat that is on the proposed route of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline. With capacity to process all the pipeline carries, it would be one of the largest refineries in the world. Black said this week he is pessimistic about the prospects for Enbridge, but the refinery could bring in Alberta oil sands crude by rail, or another pipeline acceptable to aboriginal groups along the route. Rail transport would require six trains a day, but he said no permits
are required and CN Rail is willing to do it. The $16 billion refinery would require another $9 billion in construction, including six product pipelines to Douglas Channel to load ships with refined fuel, and a natural gas pipeline to produce power, fire refining equipment and supply hydrogen for a new process to refine heavy oil. NDP energy critic John Horgan said he plans to meet with Black next week, but he was dismissive of Clark’s endorsement. “I think it’s important that the public understands that this is a long, long way into the future,” Horgan said. “And for a government that’s down to 68 days left in its mandate before people vote again, it seems odd to me that we would have taken time in the legislature today to read a press release about a proposal that may not happen until after the next election.” Black estimates that environmental assessment will take up to two years, and the refinery could be up and running by 2020.

Another botched scheme
Wooing the ethnic vote is nothing new in the political world – especially in the scrappy mud-wrestling that defines election campaigns, and often politics in general – in B.C. Over the past few decades, ethnic communities – particularly South Asian – have wielded increasing political power, both in terms of individual votes, and fielding their own representatives. Winning favour with such communities can secure a mainstream candidate’s seat, or significantly bolster a party’s fortunes. And so it’s little surprise the beleaguered B.C. Liberals looked to the ethnic vote as partial salvation from the political nightmare in which they find themselves. Except, in what has become virtually predictable Liberal fashion, the initiative was botched beyond belief. What was billed as an ethnic “outreach” effort turned into another full-blown scandal, with distasteful references to “quick wins” through government apologies to ethnic communities for past wrongs. Apparently, it never occurred to the Liberal strategists involved that they were playing catch with a live hand grenade should the NDP – and thus the media, and thus the public – were ever to hear about this cheap, offensive plot. Of course they did, and Premier Christy Clark had to do some apolgizing of her own. It seems the Liberals learned nothing from the last internal pratfall, when it was discovered they were breaking the rules by using taxpayer-funded computers and facilities to launch anti-NDP websites. Premier Christy Clark must be growing weary of having to say sorry for the bumblings of her team. Short of a major political miracle, she won’t have to for much longer. - Black Press
B.C. Views
Ethnic strategy is nothing new
Tom Fletcher The B.C. legislature session ends this week. It can’t come quickly enough for Premier Christy Clark and the B.C. Liberals. This is also the week we see the rest of the fallout from “ethnicgate,” as the latest controversy over partisan activity by political staff has been clumsily labelled. A disgruntled former B.C. Liberal caucus staffer handed the NDP opposition an internal memo setting out a strategy for ethnic “outreach” that strayed into forbidden territory, suggesting that ethnic-friendly government events could be staged and participants’ names collected and turned over to the party. “This secret plan clearly demon-

strates the Liberals are deliberately folding government resources and staff into their party’s campaign machinery, despite rules that forbid this,” thundered NDP house leader John Horgan. “We’ve seen this before, with the Liberals’ efforts to run a secret committee to subvert the public process around Burnaby Hospital, and in the attack website created by caucus staff and launched by the Liberal party.” Casual observers might see this as a disturbing new development in misuse of public resources. It’s disturbing, all right, but it’s hardly new. The “attack website” Horgan refers to is a case in point. While a website targeting NDP leader Adrian Dix was being cooked up in the B.C. Liberal bunker, a similar effort was being developed in NDP research down the hall. This partisan message detailed all the worthwhile things that could
Box 1090 Hope, B.C. VOX 1LO
be done with the government’s $15 million advertising budget singing the praises of the government’s “jobs plan.” But this one carried the logo of the NDP caucus, so it was within the rules. The average person, seeing two groups of staff on the public payroll, each slagging the other, might not detect much of a difference. The biggest headline from the leaked memo was its reference to generating “quick wins” for the election campaign by staging apologies for historic racial injustices. It mentioned how former premier Gordon Campbell delivered a solemn apology in 2008 for the decision to turn away a ship carrying Sikh refugees from Vancouver harbour – shortly after the outbreak of the First World War. What does a modern provincial premier accomplish by apologizing
Standard The Hope
for a federal immigration decision made in 1915? Why would another premier now feel the need to apologize for a federal “head tax” imposed on Chinese immigrants from 1885 to 1923? The answer is obvious. Again, don’t expect much to change with an NDP government. Asked last week if he would stage an apology for the head tax, Dix delivered a well-rehearsed history lesson that made it clear he is anxious to do so. Welcome to politics in an urbanized, globalized media culture. It’s more important to put on a show than to do the right thing. Hospitals are announced three times before they’re built, then announced again when they are staffed. Politics is a lucrative career. Former B.C. Liberal MLA Lorne Mayencourt is one of the additional “outreach” staff hand-picked by

Clark. The B.C. Liberals retort that the NDP caucus has a similar staffer named Gabriel Yiu, who has taken three leaves of absence to run for MLA, and is in practical terms a professional NDP candidate. Yiu is running for a fourth time in Vancouver-Fraserview, having been defeated in 2009 by former West Vancouver police chief Kash Heed. That campaign was notorious for anonymous Chineselanguage pamphlets claiming the NDP favours legalizing drugs and imposing a “death tax” on inheritance. This latest scandal might produce meaningful reform. But the misuse of public money to further the interests of political parties is deeply entrenched.

March is Kidney Health Month
Kidney disease is under-recognized, incurable, and undetectable in its early stages. Yet, the disease is one of the fastest growing epidemics in the western world. In fact, one in 10 Canadians are affected by kidney disease. In British Columbia alone, over 240,000 individuals have the disease and many don’t even know it because symptoms in the early stag-
es are silent. But there is hope. If people knew early enough that they had kidney disease, or were at risk, many could prevent or delay the need for lifesaving dialysis or transplantation. During March, Kidney Health Month, The Kidney Foundation of Canada, B.C. Branch, will work to raise awareness about the risk factors for the disease and the impor-
tance of early detection. On March 14, World Kidney Day, the B.C. Branch and its volunteers will join organizations and communities around the world who will be participating in events and promotions to help raise awareness and education about kidney disease. Patients will be celebrating the discovery of the life-saving treatment, dialysis, and the develop-
ments in transplantation. Over 3,000 Kidney Foundation volunteers will also be canvassing homes across the province during our annual March Drive Campaign to raise much-needed funds for critical programs and services.

We have no control over climate
Here we go again. I see a bunch of sincere well-meaning kids protesting our lack of action on global warming. Just a few days ago, two new volcanoes erupted. What are we going to do, give these countries carbon credits? Global warming has become a religion, without solid facts to back it up. What are we going to do about it? Some people are so eager to increase the carbon tax, as if that is going to have any effect.
All it will do is make our cost of living higher. It might make a lot of younger people feel better, but it will have absolutely no effect on the temperature of the earth. Can we make our air cleaner? Absolutely — but let’s ask ourselves a sensible question. Since the carbon tax has been assessed in B.C., has it improved the state of global warming, or just put more money in the hands of politicians to throw into some of their harebrained schemes?
Let’s quit getting the kids all hysterical. We do not have control over our climate, so there is very little we can do about it. “Do something,” some would scream. Do what? When somebody can tell me what we can do about volcanoes and forest fires, as well as India and China and their climate abuses, then I’ll listen to them about what’s coming from my tail pipe.

Tariffs make goods unaffordable in Canada
A warning to check toll charges This is another reminder to all drivers that use the Port Mann Bridge to check all toll charges. After reviewing my current statement, I noticed that my last two crossings (one on Feb. 4 and one on Feb. 7, both eastbound) were charged as a “medium vehicle” (cube van or car with trailer). As I have never crossed with either, these charges are incorrect and I now have to waste time to get this matter addressed. Also, to my dismay, I am unable to sign up for a Treo account as I am not willing to give them pre-authorized credit or debit information. I don’t understand why they require this when the Golden Ears Bridge doesn’t require this. I have no problems paying on time once I am able to review a statement first before paying, however the above mentioned is exactly why I refused to allow them to automatically charge my credit card.

$200 here. This is taking into account a $1.05 exchange rate. Over the course of a year we save almost $2,000 shopping across the line. The unfortunate reality is, we have to make
our dollar go as far as possible. The government needs to realize that the tariffs placed on items coming into Canada make them unaffordable in Canada.
The money they make in tariffs, they lose in local sales. I hope things change, but until they do I will continue to shop wherever I can get the best deal. I have to. A level

U.S. budget standoff to snarl border crossings
Border crossings that are often jammed with shoppers heading south may soon get even more congested as the U.S. government is forced to lay off thousands of border employees. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has begun cutting employee hours and is slated to furlough 5,000 more staff by early April after Congress and President Barack Obama failed to reach a comprehensive deal by March 1 to reduce federal spending, triggering automatic spending cuts. The initial cuts at Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are already resulting in reports of longer processing lines at some U.S. airports. CBP officials predict waits up to 50 per cent longer at major airports – four hours or longer at peak times – and a doubling of peak waits to five hours or more at the busiest land crossings. “Travellers should adjust their trip itineraries to account for unexpected delays,” the department warned in a statement. The longest southbound lines at Lower Mainland crossings are weekend mornings and they could get much longer because the use of overtime is now banned. “They hold shifts over longer or call shifts in earlier to keep as many lines open as possible – that won’t be happening,” said Ken Oplinger, president of the Bellingham/Whatcom Chamber of Commerce. “We’re thinking it could add an extra 15 to 30 minutes onto the regular lines.”
DAN FERGUSON / BLACK PRESS
The U.S. government’s failure to avoid sequestration – severe and sweeping budget cuts – on March 1 will mean layoffs of American border guards and longer waits for Canadians who are lining up at the border.
Nexus card holders should continue to get speedy clearance but new applicants face longer approval times due to an expected surge in demand. It’s hoped the arbitrary acrossthe-board cuts will be unpalatable to both Republicans and Democrats, spurring them to reach a deal before border slowdowns cause serious economic damage. “If this goes on into the summer that’s when we’re really going to have an issue,” Oplinger said. “On a summer weekend we can get two- to three-hour lineups and we could be adding 45 minutes to an hour on top of that at those peak times.” One factor that might slow cross-border shopping is the recent slide of the loonie. The dollar is down to around 97 cents U.S. and Oplinger said a further drop to below 95 cents may begin to reduce the number of southbound shoppers from Canada. Truckers are also being warned

they face significant delays at the borders in the weeks ahead if the U.S. budget impasse continues. B.C. Trucking Association vice-president Trace Acres said major impacts aren’t expected for the first 30 days, as affected U.S. border staff are getting one month notice. “It is definitely a concern,” Acres said, estimating 300 of the association’s 450 members haul cargo across the border. More truckers could pursue membership in FAST (Free and Secure Trade), the equivalent of Nexus for trusted commercial carriers, but Acres added it’s not a solution for most firms. “There has been a lot of work done on both sides of the border to try to improve efficiencies and reduce border wait times,” Acres said. The fear now, he said, is that all the time invested by truckers, manufacturers, exporters and authorities on both sides of the border “could just become undone by factors outside of our control.”

New program offers Hope businesses transition expertise a new service available to Hope businesses, operates as an independent corporation to prepare business owners for transition in order to keep businesses in the community. A subsidiary of six Community Futures Corporations, Venture Connect also helps create transition and marketing documents, and works both Tyler independently Mattheis and with real estate agents to provide exposure to attract potential buyers. It is supported by the BC Ministry of Jobs, Tourism, and Skills Training and BC’s Small Business Roundtable. Hope is the only community in the Fraser Valley where this service is currently available. Originally the program was designed to cover the Thompson Nicola and Okanagan regions, however due to Hope’s affiliation with Commu-
nity Futures Sun Country, Venture Connect now includes Hope and the Fraser Canyon. Our community, like all others, is in a symbiotic relationship with its local businesses – we need the services local ventures provide while those ventures in turn require the market our population affords. As a result, we celebrate with entrepreneurs when they succeed and share their worry when they struggle. In a similar relationship, our community needs our local businesses to continue to provide the goods and services they offer, and existing business owners need a return on their investment as they plan to exit the market. Though the current buyers market has no end in sight, and the average time to sell a business
Biz on the Street
Over the next 20 years, there will be unparalleled shortages of both business owners and employees resulting in the potential closures of large numbers of small businesses. Hope is already experiencing the thin edge of this wedge - the recent Retail Market Study for Hope clearly outlined market gaps that remain unfilled in our area, despite attractive potential for new businesses. Data from Community Futures indicates that one quarter of businesses in Hope plan to exit the business world in the next five years. This is not a surprising statistic, given the aging population of our province, and rural B.C. in general. However, ability for these businesses to transition to a new owner remains a concern: provincially only six per cent of business owners have a written plan and 65 per cent of owners indicate they have no plan at all. To help meet this challenge, Venture Connect,
continues to grow from 7.9 months in 2006 to over a year today, the selling price of a business often determines the health of the current owner’s retirement plan; a smooth transition is therefore critical to the community, the existing owner, and the new businessperson. Venturematch is one of the innovative services that Venture Connect offers – think of it as eHarmony for business. Short quizzes work to best match available opportunities with potential buyers. To learn more about the Venture Connect program, visit www.ventureconnect.ca. The B.C. government will announce more details about the project shortly. Related links will also appear on the AdvantageHOPE blog at www.AdvantageHOPE.ca. Tyler Mattheis is executive director of AdvantageHOPE. He can be reached 604-860-0930 or tyler@ advantagehope.ca.
Envision Financial partners with food banks Envision Financial has launched a new community program to raise food, funds and awareness for food banks, including the one operated by Hope Community Services. To kick off The Full Cupboard, the credit union is making a $5,000 donation to Food Banks BC and $1,000 donations to each of the 11 food banks in the 10 communities where Envision operates – resulting in a total investment of $16,000. “The statistics speak to the staggering need for an increased focus on supporting our local food banks,” said Envision Financial president Shelley Besse. “In the past five years, there has been a 23 per cent increase in the number of people using food banks in B.C. Envision Financial has a long history of supporting food banks with our funds as well as through our annual employee volunteer service week. The Full Cupboard deepens our commitment to our community food banks and reiterates our desire to give back in a substantial way in the fight against hunger.” Following the success of Feed the Valley, the signature cause of Valley First, Envision Financial’s regional partner in the Okanagan, Similkameen

The Full Cupboard, and other corporate programs like it, help us bring in that much needed support throughout the year so that we can focus on what we do best—helping people.” Envision Financial has committed to raising at least $1 million for local food banks over the next 10 years. Anyone who wishes to support The Full Cupboard program can donate non-perishable food items or make cash donations at the local Envision Financial branch.

The Handel Music Society are the special guests on March 16 for the Italian Choral Works concert at 7:30 p.m. in the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, offer-

Performing solos during the concert will be bass baritone Andrew Greenwood and tenor Christopher Simmons, both well known to Lower Mainland and international audiences.

The choir is very active in supporting young musicians and the CMYO Senior Chamber Group have performed Handel’s Messiah and the Mozart Requiem with the choir in White Rock and Mission. The trumpet section features Mark Pederson, and Lucas Hall. Pederson, 15, started playing trumpet when he was only 11. He is aiming to one day be a member of a professional orchestra, which he describes as one of the few cultural institutions to “prolong the spirit on indispensable artistic values.” In addition to trumpet, he also plays piano. “I have sung in choirs, and on occasion, compose my own music.” “I am currently studying trumpet with Tom Shorthouse, principal trumpet of the Vancouver Opera and instructor at Kwantlen University.” The Chillwack Metropolitan Orchestra and Youth Orchestra presents Italian Choral Works on March 16 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 or $15 for students at the Box Office.

Sports Local hockey players join scholarship team Barry Stewart Hope Standard
It has been said: “When one door closes, another one opens” — but maybe it would be better to not be closing doors on yourself in the first place. That has been the some of thinking of two young men who have been honoured by being placed on the midget ‘C’ scholarship team for Fraser Valley East. Kevin Misumi is a Grade 12 student at Hope Secondary and Tommy Hrynkiw [“her-ENG-cue”] will graduate from Agassiz ElementarySecondary this June. The two were teammates on the midget Wildcats this year. Right from the first game of the season, the scholarship door was ready to slam shut for any player who got a match, gross or major penalty. Through the entire season — and four tournaments — Misumi and Hrynkiw played a clean style of hockey. They also kept up their academic performances at school, where a C+ average is required to even be considered for the scholarship team. Both are sitting at about a B+ average at present. Team manager (and Hrynkiw’s mom) Rina Piovesan encouraged both players to apply for the team and head coach Barclay Fletcher added his endorsement. Fletcher said he has coached both players for three years. “Kevin is just an all-round good leader,” he said. “He’s really good to be around and he has good hockey skills — and Tommy is a really pleasant, easy-going guy.” Not surprisingly, Misumi was team captain for the Wildcats this year and Hrynkiw was assistant-captain. Both were invited to the three tryouts sessions for the scholarship team, run by head coach Ric Hampton and assistant Jason Rhodes, a coach with Chilliwack Minor Hockey. Hampton has coached in Hope for many years but is coaching Hockey 2 in Mission this season. This is his third year as head coach of the Fraser Valley East scholarship team and this year, he asked Hope resident Jesse James to help as manager. “We had 30 kids that we had to get down to 19,” said Hampton. Misumi and Hrynkiw made it through and will be playing four games this week in a round-robin against three other teams: Fraser Valley North and two teams from Fraser

Valley West, which draw from Greater Vancouver associations. Of those who made the cut, one player per team will be granted a $500 scholarship from the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association. The rest will also get some royal treatment, said Hampton. “There’s no cost for the boys to take part in the tournament and they all get free jerseys,” said the coach. “And Pacific Coast pays for post-game meals. “These are three-hour game slots, with a warm-up, then an ice-clean, then three 20-minute stop time periods with ice cleans in between.”
Your best chance to see the Fraser Valley East Ducks would be Thursday, when they take on the Fraser Valley West Flames at the Prospera rink in Chilliwack. Game time is 6 p.m. Both Misumi and Hrynkiw have similar aspirations for their career paths, as both are taking a introductory kinesiology course at AESS every Friday, with the instructor coming from UFV. “I’d like to get into team training,” said Misumi. “I’ve applied to UBC for their kinesiology program.” Hrynkiw has been accepted at UFV and Kamloops’ Thompson Riv-
ers University but he hasn’t decided which to choose. “I’ll be going for business and kinesiology,” he said. His goal is to work as a physiotherapist. Whatever the outcome of the scholarship tournament, these two young men had a great finish to their minor hockey experience in Hope with a playoff championship win in their final game. Coach Fletcher said, “Going into our second-last game of the playoffs, we could have made it so the last game wasn’t needed — but we got into penalty trouble and lost the game and our sportsmanship point.
BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD
“In our final game, we took control and dominated it.” The banner will be presented in the coming weeks and the players that helped earn it can look up in the rafters and remember the good old days for many years to come. Other Hope-based players on the team were Zack Fletcher, Aiden and Austin Heino, Steven Misumi, Branden Ottesen, Brad Webb, Kyle Bonson, Brendan and Cam Sullivan and Nathan Holding. Agassiz-Harrison players include: Eric Klody, Mitchel Heaton, Trace Hicks, Terron Vanderwyk and Brandon Baboth.
