Stephanie Hooker, outdoor educator with the Hope Mountain Centre, teaches Grade 5 C.E. Barry students about stream ecology and demonstrates the effect floods have on the stream system last week on Wardle Avenue. The program, which is sponsored by Nestle Waters, also educates students about water as a renewable resource and the need to balance human/industrial use with keeping the Fraser River healthy for salmon and other fish.
Two Hope residents are facing several charges after two home invasions in Hope last week. The RCMP responded to a noise complaint on May 15 at about 2 a.m. in the 63000 block of Flood-Hope Rd. A neighbour told police he had heard a man and woman yelling and screaming. When the officers arrived on scene, the 27-year-old occupant informed police that two people had kicked down her door, assaulted her with a weapon, and left with some
jewelry and other personal items. The woman identified the suspects as 26-year-old Christina Nowaselski and 29-year-old Brian Trottier, who were arrested later that day. The RCMP conducted a search warrant on Trottier’s house and vehicle, and found evidence linking him to the home invasion. On May 17 shortly after 8 p.m., Hope RCMP received a call from a 38-year-old woman claiming she had been the victim of a home invasion on May 14 at 11 p.m. She told police she knew the suspects, but didn’t report the crime earlier out of
fear for her safety. Nowaselski and Trottier allegedly entered her house in 65000 block of Kawkawa Lake Rd., assaulted her with a hammer, and stole various items including computer equipment. “These incidents are very serious in nature and could have ended tragically for these victims,” said Staff Sgt. Suki Manj. “We’re very glad that the victims cooperated and provided us with information. This has taken two very violent people off the street.” Last Friday, Nowaselski and Trottier were charged with robbery and
break and enter with intent to commit a crime in relation to the May 15 home invasion. Nowaselski was also charged with uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. On Tuesday, charges of robbery, break and enter with intent to commit a crime, two counts of assault with a weapon, and assault causing bodily harm were added for their role in the May 14 incident. In addition, Nowaselski was charged with possession of stolen property under $5,000.

School superintendent receives education award Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
Dr. Karen Nelson, superintendent for the Fraser-Cascade school district, has been recognized for her contribution to education locally and across the province. She was presented with the Education Advocate Award for 2013 from the Association of BC Deans of Education at the annual B.C. Teacher Education Roundtable Conference at Trinity Western University earlier this month. Nelson said she’s humbled to receive this recognition from peers. “To be nominated by my colleagues, and supported by the board chair, Ron Johnstone, the previous superintendent, Dr. Wes Neumeier, and the community services man-
ager (MCFD), Martin Bartel, through letters of reference is indeed an honour,” she added. “I have had the privilege of working with many dedicated and talented staff members in the area of special education and Aboriginal education for many years. It is my belief that no one ever receives an award in isolation and I share it with each of these individuals as well as the students who have enriched my life throughout my career.” The faculty of UFV’s teacher education program nominated Nelson for the award in recognition of her continuing support of teacher education. They said her dedication “ensures that future teachers, not just in the Fraser-Cascade school district but in B.C. as a whole, are prepared to meet the
unique needs of diverse communities.” The faculty also pointed out that many of Nelson’s handbooks and strategies for teaching have been recognized by educational partners in B.C. as best practices. Speaking on behalf of the Fraser-Cascade board of education, Johnstone echoed their comments. “Karen is an amazing leader who cares deeply about the well being and success of every student, every staff member and every family that she serves,” he said. Nelson received a plaque and a cheque for $100, which she said she’ll be donating to BC Children’s Hospital “so that together we can continue to support the life chances of our most vulnerable children.”

Fraser River peaks, flood warning ends Tom Fletcher Black Press
Spring runoff water levels have peaked on the lower Fraser River, and the high streamflow advisory was lifted Monday for the river at Quesnel, Fraser Canyon, Hope and the Lower Mainland. Fraser River levels started
easing on the weekend, after the river gauge at Mission reached a high of 5.6 meters on Friday afternoon, but the river and tributaries are expected to continue to run high for the rest of the week. B.C.’s River Forecast Centre warned that the potential for heavy rain in the B.C. Interior this week could cause a
further level and streamflow rise in the Lower Fraser. Upstream of Prince George, the Fraser River system peaked late last week, after cooler and wetter than normal conditions in late April. Snow levels were near normal in most areas of B.C. after this winter.
The Nechako and Vancouver Island regions had below normal snowpacks, with moderately high snow accumulations in the North Thompson, South Thompson, Okanagan Kettle and Stikine watersheds. The Upper Fraser had the highest snowpack, more than 120 per cent of normal.

Maple Ridge man killed in Highway 3 crash A man from Maple Ridge was killed after he lost control of his pickup truck in Sunshine Valley on Sunday. An on-duty Fraser Valley Traffic Services officer was flagged down around 6 p.m. by a passing motorist who reported an accident on Highway 3, 32 kilometres east of Hope. According to police, the 2002 Ford F150 pickup had
just crossed the Skagit Bridge when it veered onto the gravel shoulder. “It would appear the driver attempted to take corrective action and steered the pickup back onto the roadway, however control of the pickup was lost,” said Sgt.

The driver of the pickup – a 26-year-old man from Maple Ridge - succumbed to his injuries at the scene, while his passenger – a 21-year-old woman, who is also from Maple Ridge was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.
Police said a preliminary investigation revealed weather and road conditions were not factors in the crash. Speed, alcohol, mechanical trouble and driver inattention have not been ruled out thus far. Anyone who witnessed the crash is asked to call Const. Richard Clark of Fraser Valley Traffic Services at 604-7024039.

Kinder Morgan Canada has cleared one hurdle on the way to building a proposed second pipeline to carry Alberta oil sands crude through B.C. to Burrard Inlet. The National Energy Board has approved the company’s commercial tolling application, the rate structure it intends to charge oil companies to use the expanded Trans Mountain pipeline. It’s not an approval to begin construction. A formal proposal to build the pipeline is expected to be filed by Kinder Morgan later this year, triggering public hearings similar to those still underway on Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline. “The decision reinforces the market support for our expansion plans and it provides us the necessary economic certainty to proceed,” Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson said in a statement. “As we continue the process, we look forward to working

with the new B.C. government and will remain committed to listening to questions and concerns as we develop our application to file with the NEB later this year.” The NEB decision ruled Kinder Morgan’s rates are just and reasonable, rejecting complaints of oil firms that argued
the pipeline company would reap excessive profits. A second decision is also expected soon from the NEB on an application by Chevron for priority access to oil from the pipeline to supply its Burnaby refinery. The $5.4-billion Trans Mountain twinning proj-
ect would boost the flow of petroleum products from 300,000 barrels per day now to 890,000, bringing about 400 tankers a year to the Burnaby terminal. Burnaby NDP MP Kennedy Stewart, who opposes the pipeline project, said the NEB missed an opportunity with the tolling application to order a surcharge on each barrel of oil to help fund environmental protection and spill response initiatives in B.C. He said the federal Conservative government has drastically clamped down on the public hearing process, and predicted Kinder Morgan hearings will be far less inclusive than the Enbridge hearings. “There’s now a 10-page application form before anybody will be allowed to speak so the community is just about shut out of these processes,” Stewart said. “It’s almost an industry lovein now – corporate lawyers talking to corporate lawyers. I guess that’s what you do when you want to ram oil pipelines through to the west coast.”

UFV course navigates native land claims Alina Konevski Black Press
Fearlessly wading into the sticky topic of colonization in B.C., professors at the University of the Fraser Valley are offering a certificate on indigenous maps, films, rights and land claims starting next month. Much of the content of the three-course, month-long program will focus on the Lower Fraser Valley. It will cover the ways in which indigenous lands and resources were taken, and the ways in which indigenous people are reclaiming them. For instance, maps were a fundamental tool of colonial conquest, said Prof. Kenneth Brealey, a program instructor. The act of delineating reserve land on a map reinforced the idea that First Nations land is only that bit, and not the rest of B.C. “That’s where maps really did their dirty work as far as colonization goes. It’s their ability to make visible and cement in a visual record the impression that these reserves are now Indian land, and

Clark in no rush to seek seat
Tom Fletcher Black Press
Premier Christy Clark said she will wait until election results are finalized and she has met with her 49 MLAs before deciding where to seek a seat to replace the one she lost last Tuesday. NDP challenger David Eby defeated Clark by more than 700 votes in Vancouver-Point Grey, knocking on doors while Clark traveled the province on the leader’s tour. At a news conference last Wednesday, Clark shrugged off the loss, saying the seat was closely contested when Gordon Campbell held it and also had little time to campaign there. Asked repeatedly about polls that predicted her doom, Clark noted that she discussed that briefly with Prime Minister Stephen Harper when he called to congratulate her on winning the party’s fourth term. And she offered some advice on polling to reporters who gathered at the Vancouver cabinet offices. “You guys get this stuff for free,” Clark said. “You should take it for what it’s worth.” Results don’t become official until May 27, and there could still be changes in current legislature: 50 B.C. Liberals, 33 NDP MLAs, B.C. Green Andrew Weaver and Delta South independent Vicki Huntington. Clark said she regrets the loss of cabinet ministers Ida Chong and Margaret MacDiarmid, but she is pleased to have a balance of 25 returning MLAs and 25 newcomers in the B.C. Liberal caucus.
world,” said Brealey. Over the years, as magistrates and reserve commissioners looked at the maps, they eventually disre-
garded that native land used to be the whole of the Fraser Valley, B.C. and Canada. This was the first tool that made it easy for settlers to
trol of their traditional lands. For example, people use maps to pinpoint resources that indigenous groups use, showing that traditional resources do not follow reserve land borders. Brealey is one of four instructors for the program, which is in its fourth year and has seen about 45 people pass through it since inception. Program instructor Prof. Hugh Brody will focus on how film has been used by settlers to depict indigenous people, while indigenous people themselves used film to document land use and First Nations heritage. Prof. David Schaepe and Naxaxalhts’i (Albert ‘Sonny’ McHalsie) will attempt to engage students in a debate
claim non-reserve land as their own. But maps are also serving as a tool of empowerment to groups now fighting for con-
about the best ways that Sto:lo people might seek a resolution to the “Indian land question,” said Brealey. Should it be the treaty process? Or litigation? Or an issuespecific reconciliation surrounding loss of resources? The course will also discuss divisions inherent in First Nations groups across the province. The certificate program will run from June 17 to July 12, eight hours per day, at the Sto:lo Nation’s Cultural Research Center in Sardis. Fourteen people have already registered, with space remaining for UFV students and area residents at large. Full details are at w w w.uf v.c a/ge og raphy/programs/landclaims/.

Opinion Published at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press
A broken political system
Another election has come and gone, and once again half of those eligible to vote in this province didn’t bother. And who can blame them? In a political system where candidates like the NDP’s Gary Holman (Saanich North and the Islands) can win a seat with just a third of the popular vote, is it any wonder the majority feel like their votes don’t count? When the BC Liberals can win a clear majority in the legislature with fewer than half the votes, and thus dictate legislation for the next four years unimpeded, is it any wonder why the other half feel completely disenfranchised? When the Conservatives can garner close to 80,000 votes and still have no representation in the legislature, is it any wonder why so many British Columbians feel like they don’t have a voice? Of course, representation means nothing in the provincial legislature if you are a member of a minority party. Because every vote in the legislature is whipped, there is no opportunity for meaningful debate, and no chance for good ideas to be heard, should they come a member of the opposition. When a majority government consistently votes in the legislature along party lines, as every ruling party in B.C. has done for more than 60 years, then what we have is little more than a dictatorship, dressed up to look like democracy. So if every vote in the legislature is predetermined by the party in power, why have MLAs vote at all? If no meaningful debate takes place in the legislature, which is the reason it exists in the first place, and instead happens only behind closed doors by party insiders, why is the legislature even necessary? The provincial government could save millions in MLA salaries and pensions by doing away with this farce of an institution. Keep the building of course. It could be turned into a museum, a monument to what democracy once was. Something is very wrong with our political system, and low voter turnout is symptomatic of this. The fact is, if you’re not with the winners, you’re a loser, and your voice doesn’t matter. - Black Press
B.C. Views
Polarized politics a costly system
Tom Fletcher One benefit of the surprising fourth term for the B.C. Liberal Party is that the provincial government won’t be subjected to another big, expensive ideological remake. Taxpayers are spared a bill of millions in severance pay for deputy ministers and other senior staff who would be purged in large numbers in the left-right lurch that has defined B.C. politics for a generation. BC Ferries will continue as an arms-length operation, with ferry commissioner Gord Macatee in charge of service levels as well as fare caps.

The NDP platform vowed to “position BC Ferries as an integral part of B.C.’s transportation infrastructure.” Freely translated, that means “suck BC Ferries back into government,” as one of their strident supporters likes to say. That would conceal the growth of the subsidy and facilitate the kind of political and union interference that resulted in the current structure. There will be no $10 million rehash of the BC Rail sale and subsequent seven-year trial, to enrich elite lawyers once again. The NDP promised an inquiry for strictly political reasons, to drag their opponents through the scandal one more time. It was not a prelude to “nationalizing” the province’s train service, dream scenarios of the NDP provincial council notwithstanding. Costly legal confrontations over

development projects have been avoided. The Jumbo Glacier Resort proponents finally won a 20-year fight for permits, and the NDP promised to take them away. A larger ideological battle over private power contracts has also been avoided. The B.C. Liberals have been caught by a sudden shift in power markets caused by cheap, abundant natural gas, but the billions in commitments to independent power producers isn’t the fiasco that critics have described. If all those privately developed run-of-river hydro projects were owned and operated by BC Hydro, the Crown corporation would have to staff them and maintain them all for the next 40 years. There are differing views about the future demand for electricity in B.C., but it can only rise with industry and population growth. A decade of federal and provin-

cial work to end duplication of environmental assessment won’t be undone.

We will have a Seniors’ Advocate office, but it won’t be staffed up to duplicate the Ombudsperson’s role of taking complaints. That’s good, since the Ombudsperson has become ineffective, labouring for years over a massive seniors’ report with so many recommendations it sank like a stone. We have 85 seniors’ advocates now. They’re called MLAs, and they definitely take complaints. They have staffed offices in their home communities and in Victoria.

office staffers try to help people through the labyrinth of seniors’ at-home and institutional care. A new seniors’ advocate can offer advice at the management level to help the health care system evolve, but only elected politicians are positioned to tell individuals they can’t have what they are demanding. The government should be adding more direct services, not more bureaucrats. There will be many arguments about the failure of the NDP to win against an unpopular B.C.

People need to exercise democratic right As scrutineer and an election worker over many years, I believe our riding of Chilliwack-Hope was very conducted. Advance polls (four days) - consisting of three general voting areas, one absentee voting area and a certificate writer area. Election Day - Legion Hall (21 voting areas and one absentee voting area)
and Silver Creek (six voting areas and one absentee voting area). This does not include supervisory staff. I believe we are only one of 70 plus constituencies in B.C. Voter turnout? Would you believe only 51 per cent! Obviously half of our residents do not care, so they therefore should not have the right to complain about
anything! If you think this bad, how about municipal voting? Has it ever reached 50 per cent? In Australia, I am told voting is mandatory – if you don’t vote you are fined! Question: Regardless of party, do you think our huge debts, joblessness, business takeovers by the U.S. and
China will evaporate? Schools should revert to some discussions on how they would deal with violence, immigration, keeping jobs at home, etc. and the importance of voting for your best choice to deal with the problems. Answer: Get involved locally. Marj Houghton, Hope Ratepayers secretary
When you heard/watched/read the medical staff at Royal Inland Hospital stating the hospital has been running at over 100 per cent every day since 2013 began, what thoughts were triggered in your mind? My thoughts went back to April 1 as I was standing at the cash register in a thrift store digging for the extra 21 cents imposed on my $3 purchase by the return of the PST. As I dumped the change out in search of that 21 cents, I thought about just how appropriate it was that the PST came back on April Fool’s Day.
Because no matter how you spin it, switching back to the PST from the HST was so financially irresponsible, it blew past the line of colossally irresponsible behaviour into “did everybody eat several extra bowls of stupid?” territory. Yes, many will be happy they do not have to pay seven per cent provincial tax when they eat out – at least until the eateries put prices up by more than seven per cent to cover the cost savings lost with the return to the PST. All the “the government lied,” “they promised,” “the government is going to
destroy the food services business,” etc., is meaningless when contrasted with the consequences for British Columbia and its citizens of repaying $1.5 billion to Ottawa. Want to replace or renew Royal Inland Hospital, Haida Gwaii Hospital or St. Paul’s Hospital? That will require an investment approaching $1 billion and, well, sorry, but that $1 billion is being repaid to Ottawa. Have other important major capital projects that need investment, renewal or replacement? Sorry, but that half-
billion dollars is being repaid to Ottawa as well. So as the media and the opposition joyfully run around pointing out the government has not committed funding to hospital construction, we need to remember the reason government does not have money to fund hospital construction is that Bill Vander Zalm, Adrian Dix, the NDP and the media convinced the majority of BC residents that sending the $1.5 billion back to Ottawa was a good idea. James W. Breckenridge
Switching back to HST financially irresponsible
Economic growth can be good if focused on humans What does it mean when our political leaders constantly talk about ‘growing the economy?’ Usually a growing economy is measured by the Gross Domestic Product. If it goes up, we seem to be doing well. However, the GDP is a very poor measurement of people’s well being. It only measures the level of economic activity, never the efficiency of the econ-
omy or the well-being of the people or the well-being of the environment. It measures the good and the bad: if an oil spill occurs or a hurricane demolishes many homes, economic activity occurs, our economy grows. An alternative measure of well being would be for example the Index of sustainable Economic Welfare, or Genuine Progress Indicator. It measures
whether people are really better off. We also hear about ‘jobs, jobs, jobs.’ Many jobs now are being ‘grown’ oversees, in out-sourcing to Bangladesh or Africa or China, in factories with substandard social and health standards at less than subsistence wages. How can we compete in an ever-downspiralling trend for cheaper goods?
What jobs do we want to grow? I would think longlasting, safe and well-paid jobs with benefits and retirement packages, not part-time, short contract jobs that do not feed a family or protect for the future. Over decades, unions have safeguarded minimum wages and good working conditions, which raises the standard
for all. Does growing the economy mean more consumption? Buying more? Getting deeper into debt? Continuing progress should not lead to ever-escalating levels of consumption, but to a society where improving productivity and technology would provide higher quality goods, better health and more leisure.

jobs cuts, or why, but replied in an email saying: “AAFC managers and human resources specialists are meeting with employees impacted to provide them the information, tools and support they need. The amount of time this process can take varies for each employee according to the situation.” AAFC calls this a “work force adjustment situation” and indeterminate employees are covered by provisions of an agreement, found on the Treasury Board Secretariat website. Reasons listed on the website under “work force adjustments” are a lack of work, discontinuation of a function, relocation in which the employee does not wish to relocate and alternate delivery initiatives. Still, the reason for the cutbacks was not made clear in the Agriculture Canada’s response. Black Press requested an interview with Gerry Ritz, Canada’s agricultural minister. The minister was not made available by press time. Kent Coun. Lorne Fisher feels these cuts could be the death knell for the station. “There have been cuts going on,” he said. “But this one is more abrupt and of a much larger magnitude … we’re down to where they think they can get rid of us without protest.” Fisher spent 35 years as a research scientist in Agassiz, and has kept his ties with colleagues

stepped up as community leaders in their free time and in retirement. “The research station has contributed a lot here over the years,” he said. “All the major players in this community, in the last hundred years, came from the research centre.” The station has helped Agassiz keep its farming industry strong, and is a major player in the widely popular Agassiz Fall Fair. For a few years,
the fair was even held at the station — then called the Dominion Experimental Farm. It’s a key part of this community, and Fisher isn’t about to watch it fizzle out. “I feel the long-term plan is to wipe out the research branch,” Fisher said. “The next step is that somebody like myself will have to do something about it.” Continued on 9

Councillor fears eventual station closure
From 8
While it could be risky for current scientists to rally against the cuts, Fisher said he has no reason not to speak out. He also feels qualified for the job. “I’ve done it before,” he said. In 1995, the research station was slated for closure and Fisher and a few others (including then-mayor Wes Johnson and Ron Dinn) banded together to fight for its survival. That resulted in UBC purchasing the dairy centre. Today, the research station scientists and staff are a major boost to the dairy program. It’s unclear yet what effect the changes at the station will have on the UBC program. Hopefully it won’t come to that, Fisher said, as the scientists haven’t been told to leave quite yet. “In order to turn this around, we’re going to have a pretty serious fight. It will mean going up against (Stephen) Harper and his policies. I think he’s wrong but, he is the prime minister.” The Canadian Press recently reported that the National Research Council has been told by the federal government “to focus on
practical, commercial science and less on fundamental science that may not have obvious business applications.” But research needs to be carried out independently from business, Fisher said. “(Harper) does not feel government should provide research services for the general population,” Fisher said. “He feels industry should do it all. This really becomes an issue for food science and food safety. I’m a bit biased because I spent 35 years in the science side of things. But industry will just do what has short-term profit.” Fisher’s first step in trying to swing the government back in favour of Agassiz’s research station will be contacting MP Mark Strahl. Black Press also contacted Strahl. While an assistant said he is aware of the issues at the station, he could not provide comment before press time. Another step to drumming up support is through the B.C. government, which has not proven fruitful in recent years, Fisher said. He added Agassiz and the farming industry needs to promote itself. “We don’t promote
Cycling safety stressed Jeff Nagel Black Press
ICBC is urging drivers and cyclists to take care as more riders take to the roads with the approach of summer weather. More than 600 cyclists are injured and four die each year in the Lower Mainland in the peak cycling period of May to October. Across B.C. close to 150 cyclists are injured in each of those months. ICBC director of road safety John Dickinson said cyclists and drivers both need to try harder to be aware of each other on the road. “As a cyclist, I never assume drivers can see me and use multiple lights on the front and rear of my bike,” he said. “When I’m driving, I give cyclists plenty of room so they’re able to react to the unexpected – such as a car door suddenly opening into their path.” Cycling gets a push each year with Bike To Work Week promotions May 27 to June 2. ICBC urges cyclists to ensure their bike is well-maintained and get a tune-up if needed. Bike helmet use is required by law and prevents up to 85 per cent of serious injuries. Riders are urged to position themselves where other drivers can easily see them – don’t weave in and out of traffic or ride in cars’ blind spots. Always shoulder check and hand signal well in advance of any turn. Drivers are reminded they must yield to cyclists the same as other vehicles, should keep back should maintain at least three seconds of following distance.
ourselves well enough,” he said. “We desperately need to re-establish high-profile programs, and the only way to do it is with significant input from the provincial government and the universities.” He said premiers of western provinces are also going to have to stand up and defend their programs.
There are 19 federally funded research stations across the country, including the next closest dairy program in Lennoxville, Que. Fisher has heard of other western stations being hit by staff reductions in past weeks, including Summerland, Kamloops and Lethbridge, where the cattle program operates.

For instance, just recently a partnership between the Hope Library, Destination Hope & Beyond Services (Hope Museum), and Recreation, Culture and Airpark Services brought well over 100 people to Joe Smuin’s Railway to Hell presentation. For adults, so far this year the library has hosted a Healthy Living Speakers series, provided meeting space for various community groups, hosted several author visits, a book launch, several children’s programs over spring break, and a variety of other programs and initiatives. On June 1, we will also present a genealogy program
together with the Hope Genealogy Club. This exciting program on DNA will be held on Saturday, June 1. For children, the year has seen “Miss Deb” make weekly visits to Family Place, monthly visits to several local daycares, and host the Coquihalla Strong Start class at “Little Reader’s Theatre.” “Miss Deb Deb” will also be Ireland out to the schools in June, promoting the 2013 Summer Reading Club. This fall we’ll be cohosting another Joe Smuin presentation, a storytelling workshop, a “seniors and technology” presentation and other
Chilliwack hosts B.C. Arts Festival
Jennifer Feinberg Black Press
A provincial arts festival is going to bring the best performers along with economic spinoffs to Chilliwack at the end of the month. Organizers are sending out the message that it’s going to take lots more volunteers to help them pull it off smoothly. May 26 to May 30 will mark the first time in decades a Performing Arts of BC festival is hosted by the community of Chilliwack, says Laurie Hirschman, a member of the organizing committee. “It’s a huge event!” she enthused. Chilliwack Lions Club joined forces with Performing Arts of BC (PABC) to host the 2013 event, described as the “pinnacle” of the arts circuit. “This is the future of the arts,” she said. “These are the kids who even if they don’t win, it often inspires them to go on to do even better in their chosen endeavours.” Winners from various regional festivals, like Chilliwack’s, will be streaming into the city to perform and compete in adjudicated sessions of dance and music, and some will go on to the nationals. The main venue will be the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, as well as in a number of downtown Chilliwack churches. Up to 1,500 people are expected to spend $400,000 over the duration of the festival at local businesses, which will boost the local economy while also supporting performing arts, Hirschman said. Everyone needs accommodations and food, and some people enjoy a little shopping. They’re eager to have more volunteers. They have some, but up to 150 more are needed. “We’re halfway there. We also need the community to sit in the audience. Come see these kids in action. The more supportive the audience, the better they do in competition.” Sponsorships have been forged with partnerships between organizers and local businesses to make the festival a reality. The Opening Gala will be in loving memory of the late Dorothy Kostrzewa, a beloved city councillor and community volunteer. There will be about five concerts, as well as the adjudicated competitions. “The opening gala being in honour of Dorothy was the wish of an anonymous sponsor, and the Kostrzewa family has graciously agreed to it.” They have to rely heavily on volunteer support because the government funding for the annual festival dried up years ago. “It’s a reflection of where things are going in the arts. But the local support from Chilliwack has been phenomenal.” The extremely talented organizing team has worked very hard to make up for that lack of funding. They need more volunteers to step forward to help with various tasks, such as ticket taking, recording secretaries for music venues, writers for dances as well as set up and take down. To help out as a volunteer contact Laurie Hirschman at 604 858-3147 or Delia Davies at 604-795-4780. Go to http://www.performingartsbc.ca to find out more about the event. Performing Arts BC (formerly the BC Association of Performing Arts Festivals), is a not-for-profit charity which acts as the umbrella organization for 34 regional performing arts festivals throughout the province. The Provincial Festival, also known as The Provincials, is the eagerly anticipated pinnacle of BC’s festival circuit. The Opening Gala at the Cultural Centre is on May 26, 7 p.m., $15 or $50 family rate.
programs we hope you will enjoy. The deadline for the next FVRL program guide is June 1 and I’m almost finished programming to the end of December! This guide – “At your Library: Programs, Events and Services” – contains a treasure trove of information about our now 25 (the newest, Sardis Library, opened just recently on May 7) libraries. The latest edition has a green cover and is now available at the library listing May– August programs. (On page eight of the new program guide, there is a contest entry
Bibliotheca
When I started as the library supervisor here in Hope (an almost unbelievable 3.5 years ago now), I had no idea that library programming would make up such a large portion of my work week. Some part of me thought I’d be doing what I’ve always (well, since 1981!) done. Luckily, I still get to check books out, chat with customers, and help people find the information they need but this extra layer of responsibility for programming has proven a good challenge and one I love. Every day I’m trying to think up ways to bring innovative programs and to improve service to your library. The library’s commu-
form. Enter by Wednesday, June 12 for a chance to win a FVRL summer prize pack with Kobo eReader Touch, Chapters Gift card, barbecue set and much, much more.) It may well be too late to suggest programs for the library for this fall unless I have them by the end of this week but we are always open to program suggestions. You can drop by the library and have a chat with me, write down your thoughts and pass them along, fill out the survey in the latest program guide, or go online to FVRL’s website. On our homepage, is a link (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/UsingFVRL2013) to a 5-minute SurveyMonkey survey. We want to know how
you use – or don’t use - the library! **** Staff Pick: Not normally a mystery genre reader, I was hesitant to check out Jacqueline Winspear’s Leaving Everything Most Loved (from our 7-Day Loan Bestseller Shelf) but I was having a “reading emergency.” Hours later, I was delighted to find myself engrossed in this Maisie Dobbs mystery. It can be read as a stand alone or as the 10th book in the Maisie Dobbs series. Set in England in the early 1930s, Maisie investigates the deaths of two immigrant Indian women. And now she’s headed off on an adventure of her own, taking the series in an unexpected new direction!

Junior golf lessons set to start June 3 Barry Stewart Hope Standard
Golf is one of the world’s great life-long sports. Many Hope residents enjoy the game right into their 70s and 80s — and the Hope Golf Club will soon be introducing the sport to a new generation of golfers. Instructor Valerie Beebe of Chilliwack is set to begin her junior golfing lessons on Monday, June 3, with the age five to eight group working from 4:30-5:15 p.m., using the modified equipment of the SNAG (Starting New At Golf) program. Players aged nine and up— and younger players who have gone through the SNAG training — will practice from 5:30-7 p.m., using regular golf equipment. Beebe is a qualified golf instructor, working out of the Kinkora club in Chilliwack, where she hosts their Wednesday evening junior league. She is a member of the Canadian and U.S. golf teachers’ associations and she takes part in PGA training sessions, such as the one she recently attended in Florida, taking seminars with master instructors Michael Breed and Hank Haney. “This is my eleventh year, working with the SNAG program,” said Beebe on Wednesday. “We use weighted tennis balls and clubs of different lengths and use a playful approach to learning the skills.” Velcro targets and handles with noisemakers enhance the fun aspect. Along with golfing skills, Beebe also addresses life skills and etiquette of the game, starting with the SNAG students and continuing with the more advanced students, who will be getting some time out on the course. “When I teach SNAG, I also incorporate the First Tee program’s nine base life skills into my program,” said Beebe. ”As well, I ask the children where they can use that life skill in golf — and in a situation at school or home. “My program also includes a coaching theme for the day, be it pre-swing routine (thinking box), target, aim, finish and balance, etcetera. The coaching theme will correspond to the golf skill being taught that day. “I also include a golf term with every class, such as birdie, bogie, dog leg, trap, bunker, addressing the ball, lie of the club, etcetera. “The last thing I speak about before starting the ‘fun’ part of the class is a character development trait of the day — and one unwritten (etiquette) rule of golf. Examples of these would be: focus... where and when do you have to focus? Respect... what is it and where do you use it? Confidence... where is it found and how do you get it? “Etiquette rules would be something like: Do you stand behind someone when they’re launching the ball? Do you speak when someone is rolling the ball? Who replaces
the flag when everyone has rolled out? These are just a few examples of what’s included in my lessons,” explained Beebe. The SNAG group has an upper limit of 10 students and a minimum of five. Registration is $50 for six sessions and is payable at the course’s pro shop. All equipment is provided. “It’s a very inexpensive way of having six weeks of lessons,” said Beebe. The small class size makes it easier to individualize instruction — and Beebe intends to bring along even more assistance. “I’ll be bringing up a student from Chilliwack, Emmalei Wilson or Gabe Dekaney, to help with the Hope students.” The advanced group has a class limit of four to eight students, including graduates of the SNAG program. It’s $60 for nine hours of instruction. “We’ll be using the driving range and the putting green — and we’ll be chipping and pitching onto the putting green,” explained Beebe. “Every other week, we’ll go out on the course and play three holes. Maybe holes 1, 2 and 3 the first time, then 6, 7, 8 and 7, 8, 9. We’ll change things up to keep it interesting. “We’ll start with the younger golfers teeing off closer to the pin — but my goal is to have them teeing off from the tee boxes, later in the season,” said Beebe. “We would play best-ball and have all the groups hit their next ball from the best location, then once they’re on the green, they putt from their own location.” Beebe said that she can provide a limited amount of equipment for the older players who don’t have their own clubs yet. She also has access to junior starter sets, which she figured she could get at, or near, cost. Once the first sessions are done, Beebe hopes to have a second set in the summer. Hope Golf Club operator Kerry Krahn said the club is offering junior club memberships for the same rate as last year... actually a bit cheaper, since the full HST is no longer applied. The fee is $179, plus GST, which gives a junior player access to the course throughout the season. “There are no blackouts, other than when tournaments are on,” said Krahn. “They do have to sign up for tee times, the same as for adult golfers.” In other club news, the monthly “9-andDine” is on May 31. It is an Italian night open to anyone, even if people just want to just come for dinner. “We dropped the price this year of seasonal green fees to $699, to get more golfers out and it seems to be working. There are lots of new faces,” added Claudette Krahn. “Next year is our 50th anniversary and we are planning a huge homecoming weekend. There will be bands and a barbecue — and everyone from the community will be invited to stop by. Planning has already begun.”
