Ski resort director accused of fraud
Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
The B.C. Securities Commission is currently investigating the project director of a proposed ski resort in the area. Ron McHaffie is accused of defrauding 30 investors out of $642,960 through the sale of shares in BigFoot Recreation & Ski Area between August 2007 and January 2012. The commission says McHaffie has never been registered to sell securities in B.C. A notice of hearing was issued by the commission last week and alleges McHaffie made false statements to entice investors, such as telling them that their money would be used for expenses related to getting BigFoot publicly listed, and that construction or completion of the ski resort was imminent. Instead, according to the notice, McHaffie used investor funds to pay for personal expenses, includ-
ing gas, restaurants, groceries and retail purchases. According to the project’s website, BigFoot was intended to be a yearround operation offering “unparalleled” alpine skiing, mountain biking, snowmobiling, fishing, boating, rock climbing, golfing, and camping. There would also be a conference facility, spa, and Olympic grade training facilities for Canadian athletes. At the proposal time, the Hope & District Chamber of Commerce estimated the project would provide about 400 jobs. Laidlaw resident Lee Peters, a former member of the Peters First Nation Band, said McHaffie pitched the proposal to him years ago and by all appearances was a trustworthy businessman from Princeton. He made an agreement with McHaffie at that time to be a 25 per cent owner/director in the ski resort and be responsible for road and trail construction.
According to Peters, the Jones Lake watershed was his family’s trapping grounds and water flows into the Lorenzetti Creek watershed, which is Shxw’owhamil reserve land. Peters said he supported the proposal – despite the Peters Band not wanting anything to do with the project –because it would not only preserve the land but have economic benefits. Peters said McHaffie acquired the necessary permits for the ski resort, including a five-year temporary permit to develop the roadwork. He also got initial support for the project from provincial and federal politicians. Peters said when McHaffie’s five-year temorary permit expired, the government took over ownership of the land, which is now being logged. “The logging companies are now using the trap line trails, destroying the heritage of the Peters Band,” he said. “The clear cutting of the forest
will cause huge slides and washouts, which is very visible at Jones Lake at the present time. The raw logs will be shipped out of our country, benefiting no one other than the workers with temporary employment.” Peters said it’s unfortunate that BigFoot was never built, but he doesn’t believe McHaffie embezzled investor funds because he had to spend thousands of dollars on studies and surveys to obtain the necessary project permits. However, in the notice about the allegations, the commission says BigFoot’s ski resort proposal was rejected by the provincial government in September 2010 and McHaffie continued to raise a total of $111,070 from investors after that date. The Hope Standard tried to reach McHaffie for comment, but he did not respond by press deadline. A hearing into the allegations is set for June 25 at 9 a.m.
Congratulations

No surprise in final vote tally Alina Konevski Black Press
Absentee votes couldn’t shake the Liberals win in the Chilliwack-Hope riding. With the final count completed, the result is official: Laurie Throness is the new MLA. The number of people who voted this season is up slightly from the 2009 election. In Chilliwack-Hope, 58 per cent of registered voters came out, compared with 52 per cent in the last provincial election. The improvement in turnout could be a result of more people taking advantage of convenient advance voting areas, with shorter line-ups and longer operating hours spread over multiple days. In Chilliwack-Hope, nearly a quarter of all votes this
year came through the advance booths, up seven points from 2009. Absentee votes are also rising, bringing a few extra percentage points to the final count. The courtesy of flexible voting comes at a price. Although the final calculation for this election won’t be available until next year, the past few provincial elections have seen a dramatic jump in cost to the taxpayer. The 2009 election was the most expensive yet, at $11.77 per registered voter. The 2001 and 2005 elections were both just over $8. In 1928, the earliest that data is available, a vote cost the province 70 cents. Provincially, the Liberals may have lost one seat to the NDP in Coquitlam-Maillardville once the absentee votes rolled
in. However, Elections B.C. has applied for a judicial recount in the riding, because only 35 votes separate the top two candidates. The Liberals now hold 49 seats in Legislature, the NDP 34, the Green Party one seat, and an independent candidate the final seat. The final count for the 2013 B.C. election in ChilliwackHope is: Michael Henshall, B.C. Conservative Party: 2,202 votes, 10.77% Ryan McKinnon, Independent: 833 votes, 4.07% Gwen O’Mahony, B.C. NDP: 7,364 votes, 36.01% Laurie Throness, B.C. Liberal Party: 10,053 votes, 49.15% Final voting results: 20,452 votes, 100%
Telus investing $900,000 in Hope Telus is investing $900,000 this year to bring more LTE wireless technology and Optik TV infrastructure to Hope. The investment is part of a $3 billion, three-year commitment to invest in B.C. made last year and builds upon the $29 billion Telus has already invested in operations and technology throughout the province since 2000. “Telus’ significant
$900,000 investment means people and businesses right here in Hope will have even more access to faster Internet, the world’s most advanced wireless technology, and our Internet-based television service, Optik TV,” said Lance MacDonald, Telus’ director for the Fraser Valley. “Our sustained investment in technology and infrastructure in Hope and across B.C. has already made us one
of the most connected communities anywhere in the world. This year Telus continues that legacy, once again getting to work to connect ever more British Columbians to advanced communications infrastructure and all the benefits it creates.” Telus’ investment in communities extends past providing customers with world-class technology.

When teacher-librarian Lenora Poulin gave her presentation to the school board two weeks ago, she walked away feeling confident, happy and proud to be in charge of Hope secondary’s library. But when she heard what was said about her after leaving that meeting, those strong feelings of pride turned to anger. Poulin found out that later in the regular board meeting, Trustee Tom Hendrickson suggested she is a “book burner� for taking out certain titles, most notably older material that refers to First Nation people as savages and AIDS as a “gay people’s problem.� Hendrickson did not raise any questions with Poulin while she was in attendance, but board meetings are audio recorded and put online for public consumption. In the May 15 meeting, Hendrickson is heard saying he has a problem with people who “burn books� and made a motion to the board to consider having someone from senior staff look at the material Poulin removed from the collection. That comment, and others,
prompted Poulin to return to the school board and officially address Hendrickson’s comments. She did so at Tuesday night’s board meeting. Poulin took the floor for about a half hour, reading a letter outlining her extensive education background and training and her 20 year history as an educator in the Fraser Cascade School District. She also expressed her shock at being questioned on her process of weeding HSS’s library collection. “I literally yelled out (while listening to the audio) ‘I am not a book burner,’� she told the board. She said the comments Hendrickson made likened her to a Nazi and were “offensive, defamatory and quite frankly, disgusted� her. She said the library collection had not been weeded in over 10 years, and that the process is always a difficult one. About 3,000 books were recently removed from the collection. Some were beyond repair. Others contained obsolete technological information. Many were duplicates. She attempted to sell some of the books, with little success. She tried giving them away to the students. A few were taken, but the rest were left for removal.
She and other staff tore the books from their bindings, removed identifying marks, and recycled the salvageable paper. There are many benefits to weeding a collection, she added, including making the library more appealing and easier to access for students, and the wider community that uses the HSS library. Poulin also called Hendrickson homophobic, for comments on the audio recording she interpreted to relate to lesbian and gay material within the library. In the recording, Hendrickson refers to “those� books and talks about the new discriminatory language policy in the school district. Poulin demanded an apology for his comments and accusations. Hendrickson took equal time to respond to Poulin, saying: “If my remarks offended you, I publicly apologize for that. It was certainly not intentional.� He said his role on the school board is to question things, rather than be a “rubber stamp.� He explained that when he heard books were being removed from the library because of the potentially offensive or inaccurate content within them, that twigged a reaction in him. But he said his way with
words is often very blunt. “I’m not in any way suggesting you’re a book burning Hitler,â€? Hendrickson said. He said he doesn’t want to see society erase the past, or whitewash history. Rather, he’d like to see these old books set apart with a distinction: “Books including historical embarrassmentsâ€? that could be used “as learning tools for years to come.â€? Books have been destroyed all through history, he said, from the Aztecs and churches, to Hitler and Stalin, to suit those in power at the time. “All of us could take it upon ourselves to verse ourselves in our past history,â€? he added. Hendrickson did not clearly respond to being called homophobic. He also stated that he has a right to his opinion, and that the board is there to disagree with him, and that open discussion is part of the decision making process for the board.  “We are not here to rubber stamp a thing,â€? he said, and since the board disagreed with him, his motion to have Poulin’s work double checked by senior staff was defeated at the May 15 meeting. “You can put whatever books you want in there, and I can disagree,â€? he said.Â

Cindy Hartley, with the Yale and District Historical Society, steps back in time into the 1850s inside the new medical tent at Yale Historic Site. It’s one of two new additions to the Living History exhibit this year.
Yale Historic Site is hosting its annual Strawberry Social this Sunday. The event has been a community tradition for decades and features gold panning, old-fashioned games, musical entertainment, strawberry shortcake and a giant community bake sale. Members of Black Powder and the Royal Engineers will also be putting on black powder demonstrations, ax and knife throwing and firing a candy cannon. Hope Masonic Lodge kicks off the day with a parade and will host a special meeting inside St. John the Divine church that is open to the public. “It’s a social gathering,� said site super-
visor Deb Zervini. “It’s pretty popular. It’s a fun day of celebrating history and a recreation of the 1850s.� The Strawberry Social also provides an opportunity for people to check out the returning Sasquatch exhibit and newly expanded Living History Tent City, which now features a medical tent and gold commissioner’s tent. The Strawberry Social runs from 1-4 p.m. on June 9 and is a fundraiser for the Yale and District Historical Society. There will be a raffle draw at the event, with all proceeds going towards finishing off the two new tents and building a new blacksmith tent.

Hope Crime Prevention Society now has a new dedicated vehicle for volunteers, thanks to the support of several local businesses. Gardner GM recently donated a used Chevrolet Impala to the non-profit organization and partnered with Subway, Hope Signcrafters, Envision Financial and Hub International to cover the vehicle insurance and maintenance. “They’ve done a lot for me by patrolling
my place and I figured this would be a good thing to give back to the community,� said Bud Gardner. “I think it helps the whole community and the businesses as they patrol the streets around town.� Hope RCMP Staff Sgt. Suki Manj said nor-
mally volunteers have used their own personal vehicles for Speed Watch, Block Watch, Citizens on Patrol, and patrols at Othello Tunnels. He didn’t feel that was right which is why he approached Gardner. “It’s a nice thing for
the volunteers. It shows them they are appreciated by the community and by us,� said Manj. “It’s something that took a lot of persistence and partnership building and culminated into having multiple partners to make it happen.�
Cellphone code caps roaming fees and offers early contract exit Jeff Nagel Black Press
Consumer advocates are applauding a new wireless code of conduct that lets Canadians cancel mobile phone contracts without penalty after two years and sets caps on data roaming charges. The new code unveiled Monday by federal regulators applies on new contracts for mobile phones and other devices starting Dec. 2. Besides the ability to escape three-year contracts without fees after two years, the new CRTC rules cap data overage fees at $50 a month and national and international data roaming fees at $100 a month, unless the user explicitly wants to use
more. “Canadians may finally now be freed of the worst of cellphone bill shock,� Public Interest Advocacy Centre executive director John Lawford said. “We hope that consumers will now be able to enjoy their wireless service fully and without fear.� He said the code should reduce the mobile device costs of many users. “It also makes it easier to switch companies because those costs are limited and are clear,� Lawford said. Individuals and small business users will also be able to have their phones unlocked after 90 days or immediately if they paid the full price. A 15-day return option is also promised to
those who are unhappy with service, along with an easy-to-read contract and an ability to accept or decline key changes to a contract. “The wireless code will contribute to a more dynamic marketplace by making it possible for Canadians to discuss their needs with service providers at least every two years,� CRTC chair Jean-Pierre Blais said. It’s not yet clear how major phone companies will react to the new rules. “We already do a lot of what is in the new code,� Telus spokesman Shawn Hall said in an emailed statement. He said Telus replaced contract cancellation charges with a device balance some years ago and already
offers phone unlocking and a cap on international data roaming. “We are thus well positioned to support this new code,� Hall said, calling it “a strong and friendly set of protections.�

Opinion
Published at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press
Fix municipal funding Municipal politicians from across the country flooded into Vancouver over the weekend. They were there for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ annual convention. And while their backgrounds were as diverse as the communities they represented, their message was strikingly similar: Fix the funding. It’s not a new complaint. For decades Canada’s cities have been telling Ottawa that they need more money if they are to do the things they are increasingly expected to do. The complaints began in the 1990s, when the federal government began to cut funding as it dealt with a ballooning deficit and public debt. As transfer payments to provincial governments shrank, so too did many of the services the federal government traditionally provided (like low cost housing). Provincial governments tried to take up the slack, but inevitably the cuts continued to trickle down to municipalities. Today, cities are faced with providing a level of service they never did in the past, particularly in the realm of social services, transportation, and protective service like policing. They’ve done this because they’ve had little choice; there is no one left to download the cuts to. Instead, they must find new revenue from a taxpayer pool that is shallow and offers little flexibility. Deferring expenses is an option. But as roads and bridges deteriorate, it leads to an “infrastructure deficit” that must eventually be paid off. That’s left municipalities calling for a change in the way cities are funded. According to a report released at the convention, the current relationship between municipal and federal levels of government is “dysfunctional.” It cites the fact that despite their evolving and expanding responsibilities, municipalities only receive eight cents of every tax dollar raised. There were promises of new money at the convention, but that’s not enough. What is needed is a change in the way the funding flows. Canada’s cities have grown up. It is time governments stop treating them like children who are incapable of spending their allowance responsibly. - Black Press
Enbridge pipeline isn’t dead yet B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher One of Premier Christy Clark’s first tasks of the new term will be to resume trade talks with Alberta and Saskatchewan. Several daunting tasks await. Clark must repair relations with Alberta Premier Alison Redford after B.C.’s theatrics over oil pipelines before the election, and prepare for the results of a federal environmental review of the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal in the fall. Some people were surprised on Friday when the B.C. government released its final written submission to the federal environmental review panel on Northern Gateway. It was widely interpreted as
B.C.’s outright rejection of the project, but it’s not as simple as that. Clark and B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake signalled several times before the election that they were not getting the answers they wanted from Enbridge. But they stuck to the principle that the hearings must be completed. The NDP repeated for months that the B.C. Liberal government had forfeited its own review and handed jurisdiction over the environmental assessment to Ottawa. In fact, a pipeline that runs across two provinces is by definition a matter of federal jurisdiction. B.C. could have held its own parallel set of hearings, which was the NDP’s stated preference, but in no circumstance does the province have a veto. And both the B.C. Liberal government and Enbridge were careful to leave the door open for

A closer reading of their comments shows that the key difference at this stage is one of timing. “The panel must determine if it is appropriate to grant a certificate for the project as currently proposed on the basis of a promise to do more study and planning after the certificate is granted,” Lake said. “Our government does not believe that a certificate should be granted before these important questions are answered.” According to Enbridge executive Janet Holder, those important questions can’t all be answered until the hearings are over. The company maintains that every river crossing and spill response plan can’t be done in detail during the two-year hearings. B.C.’s final submission runs to nearly 100 pages. It goes into detail on the inconsistencies and un-

answered questions on such vital topics as whether diluted bitumen can sink in water. In short, the province argues that it can sink if the oil is in fresh water, or if it is exposed to weathering so lighter fractions evaporate, or if it is mixed with sediments that increase its density. These are pertinent conditions if heavy oil were to leak into a river in springtime, when water runs fast and cold and brown with sediment. Then there are the obstacles presented by responding to a spill in remote wilderness and heavy snow. Given both provincial and aboriginal opposition in B.C., the Enbridge pipeline is unlikely to be imposed, and last week Conservative cabinet minister James Moore clearly ruled that out. The B.C. government has consistently maintained that the current proj-

ect does not meet Clark’s often-repeated five conditions, including the vaguely defined “fair share” of revenues, and Moore said the federal government agrees with those conditions. The B.C. government has to face some other uncomfortable realities as well. If heavy oil pipelines are such a risk, how does B.C. manage the one that has stretched across remote and populated areas for 60 years? Does the government take a stand against new pipelines, and then watch as rail cars full of heavy oil cross those same rivers? No permit is required for that, and in fact there are more hazardous materials than oil moving by rail and road across the province today.

Letters ‘Smoke screen’ doesn’t cut it Re: The Canadian Senate must change, Letters (May 30) Is anyone else out there tired of politicians and their persuasions pretending to care about us when they are just protecting their own leader and their own jobs when in majority government? The letter from Mark Strahl regarding Senate reform sounds really good but there are some things he is not mentioning, for example persons like me who have written several emails asking questions about the prime minister’s involvement, possible interference from Conservative senators (Tkachuk/Olsen) speaking to Nigel Wright while investigating Conservative appointed Duffy and a host of other things that just don’t seem kosher right now. Mr. Strahl is
not acknowledging the growing concern of his constituents about the government itself. Senate reform is desperately needed, but it is not a few bandaide changes such as more spending accountability and what the exact Senate business is that will do it. Real Senate reform is going to be a messy, drawn out and full of controversy, because yes, Mr. Strahl Quebec is going to protect its interest and so is every other province and territory. Will you protect B.C. if it opposes your leader? Every party is going to weigh in and protect how they can “stack the Senate” in the future. The NDP do not want reform but abolishment so that muddies the water even more. And trust me the Conservatives are not going to weigh in on this ever! Neither Conserva-
tives or Liberals want to eliminate this gift horse. This promise (reform) of the Conservative Party at this time is just to divert attention from the issue at hand which is a Conservative government problem that goes as high as the prime minister’s office. In regard to Mr. Trudeau, his choice to say what he did may be foolish but it has nothing to do with the questions I or concerned Canadians have put to Mr. Strahl and the prime minister’s office. It is the Conservatives using this situation to do some pre-election campaigning and stir the pot between the west and Quebec because for some unknown reason this young inexperienced leader of the Liberals makes them nervous. As far as this scandal is concerned I will be extremely surprised if we get an-
It’s cheaper to abolish the Canadian Senate Concern over the “cost” that could be incurred to buy out Canadian Senators is not fully illuminated.

swers from this government. The only strategy the prime minister seems to know is “evade, distract and attack.” Apparently transparency and accountability are only words you throw around when the other parties are in the midst of scandal. As soon as you get a majority they no longer become relevant. I don’t care if you are a Conservative, a Liberal, an NDPer or an independent. Please educate yourself about how our government works including the Senate, get involved and hold our politicians to a higher standard. I’m sorry Mr. Strahl, although you are probably a very nice young man, in my household your diversionary tactic, smoke screen letter full of Conservative talking points just doesn’t cut it.

New collector mapbook celebrates 20 years of outdoor adventure Wesley and Russell Mussio have found a way to turn their hobby into a career. Avid backcountry explorers, the brothers decided to launch the guidebook series Backroad Mapbooks 20 years ago. They came up with the idea when they realized it was rather cumbersome to cart a different book for each activity along with a stack of often-outdated maps. “I am certain we make a lot of people

jealous whenever we are out exploring. After all, who can honestly say they are working when they are hiking, on a lake fishing, biking a trail or even camping in one of BC’s glorious parks?” said Russell. The brothers have released more than 25 mapbooks, thousands of topographic maps, recreation maps, GPS Maps and even digital map titles across the country. Backroad Mapbooks has seen steady growth in sales over the years, but has had to adapt to accommodate people looking for maps on their GPS, smartphones or tablets. The mapping company has responded
with their GPS map series and soon to be released BRMB Navigator that will provide an interactive web and app mapping solution. The emphasis on maps has allowed the Mussio brothers to carve out a niche in the very competitive outdoor recreation guidebook market. Their books offer a unique combination of detailed maps covering specific areas of the province along with descriptions on everything from fishing holes to hidden trails. Lower Mainland readers have been instrumental in the development of the Backroad Mapbook series. The
original book was released at a trade show in Vancouver 20 years ago and more than one million copies have been sold since. The newly released third edition of Backroad Mapbook: Vancouver Coast and Mountains remains one of the company’s signature books and features backcountry maps of the Hope and Fraser Canyon area along with highlighted hiking trails and recreational activities. Most of the mapping and design for the books are done at the Coquitlam head office, but the company also has employees and contributors from across the country.
“When we started the company 20 years ago, we could never have imagined the success and growth we have achieved,” said Russell. “We originally thought we would do a couple books for B.C. so we could learn more about our local area. Fact is, even though the original book is actually pretty basic compared to today’s standards, people bought it and loved it. It was the catalyst to our confidence in moving our series further.” For more information on the Backroad Mapbook and Backroad GPS Map series, visit www. backroadmapb o oks. com.

The B.C. government has recommended rejection of the Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipeline project in its final written submission to the federal environmental panel. Environment Minister Terry Lake announced the decision last Friday, two weeks after an election where pipeline politics played a key role. He said the B.C. government isn’t satisfied with the company’s plans for spill control on the twin pipeline proposed to run from northern Alberta to a tanker port at Kitimat. “Northern Gateway has said that they would provide effective spill response in all cases,” Lake said. “However, they have presented little evidence as to how

they will respond.” Lake said any heavy oil proposal would be subject to the B.C. government’s five conditions, which include spill prevention and response, aboriginal participation and a share of oil export revenues for B.C. Enbridge Northern Gateway vice-president Janet Holder said the province’s position is not the end of the discussion. “The five conditions cannot be fully met until the end of the Joint Review Panel process,” Holder said. “We are working hard to meet the conditions and earn the confidence of the government and the people of B.C.” Ministry staff evaluated the 192 conditions proposed by the Joint Review Panel, the federal agency that will make a recommendation for permits to Ottawa
next fall. The B.C. government and Northern Gateway officials will give their final oral arguments to the panel when hearings resume in Terrace on June 17. Enbridge has argued that its submissions to the federal panel included 7,000 pages of technical reports and nine separate witness panels have answered every environmental question put to it. The panel has conducted 69 days of cross-examination of company officials by B.C. and other representatives. Lake said the B.C. government is not opposed to heavy oil pipeline projects in general, such as the pending application to twin the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline from Alberta to port and refinery facilities in Burnaby and Washington state.

Dinotown Live to reopen on Canada Day Jennifer Feinberg Black Press
Think of it as Dinotown Lite — a scaled down version of the original theme park — but with the same flavour. Dinotown owner Rob Ell says he is bringing the popular Dinotown family back, with Dinotown Live in a completely different format, starting on July 1.
“We’re repositioning it for the summer at Bridal Falls,” Ell tells Black Press. They’re leasing a new site that measures about 30,000 square feet. It’s on Bridal Falls Road, beside the Shell station, in an old western themed building. “We’re very busy right now. And that would be an understatement,” he says. Ell is still listed as the
Mayor of Dinotown, and he even performed as one of the dinosaurs as a kid when his folks owned Dinotown. The new spot is actually not too far from the original location. Dinotown closed almost three years ago, as Ell was recovering from surgery to remove what turned out to be a benign brain tumour. It was actually the gas station owner who called him up to see

if he was interested in renting the vacant property with prime highway access. “I said I was very interested,” Ell tells Black Press. It’s been a dream of his to have other spots to present Dinotown Live in the new format. “I’ve looked all over for another location. So for us, we’re coming home, and we’re ecstatic about it.” The well-loved attraction, saw 2.5 million visitors through the gates from 1975, when his father built it and called it Bedrock City, to when it closed as Dinotown in 2010. There will be obvious differences. Instead of rides in a theme park over 18 sprawling acres, there will be live shows, giant inflatables, including a water slide, a sports centre, and a safari. “It will look like the Vancouver Children’s Festival with a bunch of white tents.” Dusty Bones the daddy dinosaur, mom Dina, daughter DeeDee and boy Dexter will all

be part of the fun at the new location. “We’ve brought the shows back. And another nice thing about the new site is that when you look up in the sky, and it has the same beautiful view of Mount Cheam.” The Dinotown Live attraction was created as a “pop-up park” at
the Cloverdale Fairgrounds last summer, he says. Now they’re gearing up for the 2013 launch at the new site, and will be open from Canada Day to Labour Day. The park probably employed more than 2000 teenagers over its lifetime. To get things going this summer for
the live version, they need some talented personnel from in and around Chilliwack. They’re looking to hire 20 employees for the summer, and an operations manager. Visit www.dinotown. com and click on jobs to apply, or like the Dinotown Facebook page to get updates.

Hope softball program in the works Barry Stewart Hope Standard
Hope sent softball teams to the provincial ‘C’ championships in 2002, 2005, 2006 and 2007 — coming home as the peewee and bantam champs in 2002 and the peewee champs in 2007 — but Hope Minor Ball couldn’t even get past first base in the following years. Earlier this spring, Hope Minor Soccer’s president, Bruce Becker, said he felt there’s enough interest for Hope to have a softball league. “It just needs somebody to be a leader.” Enter Tammy Shields. She grew up in Hope, as Tammy Trick — and her dad, Al, was her first softball coach, in about 1980. Shields moved back to Hope a few years ago, with her husband Seamus and their two young kids... and the lack of a local minor ball league got her motivated to step up to the plate. “Hope used to be a ball town,” she said. “We were known for it. Minor ball was a big part of life for many of us who grew up here in years gone by — and it involved the whole family.” Shields made some inquiries at Softball BC and heard about their Learn to Play program that introduces players to the game. If the registration response is sufficient, Shields said, “For 2013, there will be no regular season. Instead, we will run a six-week Learn to Play program, which is designed to get kids on the field and learning basic skills, with some scrimmages at the end of each practice. “The aim is to get started this year and get a sense of the interest from kids and parents, to grow into a full league for 2014. We will be a registered society, affiliated with Softball BC.” The Learn to Play program — similar to the Learn to Run and Steve Nash youth basketball programs used in Hope — provides volunteer leaders with lesson plans and coaching tips. Last weekend, eight coaches took a workshop in Hope, led by a Softball BC representative from Langley. “There were a few others that weren’t able to attend but will be helping coach,” said Shields. “Kelly and Cindy Araki, Buffy and Chris Miller and Laurel Loring. They all played ball in Hope when they were kids.” Starting from scratch would be a daunting and expensive challenge — but Shields said executive members Kathy Hirst and Cindy Bader had acquired $12,000 in lottery grants, which had been put into equipment purchases shortly before the local league shut down. “The equipment is all in storage at the arena,” said Shields. “There are brand new helmets and bases still in the bags, a whole rack of bats and lots of balls. There are also team jerseys that would have to be inventoried.” For this season’s Learn to Play program, Shields says all a player will need is a glove and a pair of running shoes — and if a glove is hard to come by, she said she is sure that one could be sourced out. The plan is to run the weekly sessions on Wednesday evenings at the Sixth Avenue ball park, from 6-7:30 p.m., starting on June 19 through to July 24, with a wrap-up party on July 31. The cost is $35 per child, plus a lifetime membership with Softball BC for $10. The program is intended for ages 4 to 13. Registration is from 10 a.m. till noon on June 8 at Hope Secondary, or on June 12 from 3:30-7:30 p.m. at the Hope Rec Centre. “The community has been very supportive of this initiative,” added Shields. “I think most people are going to be very happy to see little people at the ballpark again. “The success of the program and ability to build, going forward, is going to depend heavily on two factors: the number of kids who want to play, and the amount of volunteer help and support available from parents and the community.”

We have a future. We have a future filled with dreams of freedom, happiness and love. These dreams are spectacular and they are different in all of our minds. For some, they are to climb mountains, or to find a place they can call home and for other it is to fill their lives with success. We have a future that is filled with the memories of our past. We are no longer the nervous fiveyear-olds we once were when we first entered kindergarten. Instead, we are the nervous graduates, embarking on the biggest adventure we have not yet seen. We have a future that will be different for all of us. But, it will be linked by the memories that we have created because it is that time that we have shared that has shaped us. We have a future because of each other. Today, we are united by these gowns because we have helped each other to get to this point. When one of us needed help, someone else always stood up to aid their classmate. When one of us was down, there
was always someone else their to lift them back up. We have been so lucky to become so close to each other, even though sometimes it might feel like a bad thing. We have molded each other into exceptional young adults. We have a future because of our parents. Without our loving parents, we literally would not be here. You have been with us for every special occasion, dealt with our meltdowns, taught us right from wrong and been our anchor throughout our lives. Thank you for always pushing us to do our best. We have a future because of our grandparents, aunts, uncles and siblings. We thank you for your constant support and love. And for coming far distances just to be here on our special day. We have a future because of our teachers. Your work is invaluable. You have mentored us and become our role models. We hope that as you see us leave high school, you will feel the grati-
Congratulation to the Graduates and their Proud Parents!
Katelyn Roberts tude that we have for you. It is everlasting and your contributions to our lives will never be forgotten. We have a future that is promising. To the graduates of 2013, we have waited 12 years to walk this stage.
Colin Webber We have the ability to achieve more than any of us can imagine. Anything is possible. Bill Clinton once said, “The future is not an inheritance, it is an opportunity and an obligation.” We hold the future.
Those 378 000 000 seconds were filled with laughs, tears and many memories. But mostly with us constantly dreaming of what it will be like to achieve our goals.
We will never settle for mediocrity. We will find what it is that we love. And we will strive to make our dreams a reality.
We know that you will never use the pythagorean theorem again, never have to remember the year that Hannibal crossed over the Alps or even what colloquialism is.
We should choose to find our own freedom, happiness and love.
But as we leave Hope Secondary, we have been equipped with the tools to fulfill every single one of our dreams.
The class of 2013 should never choose to settle for anything less.
Today is our time to celebrate. And tomorrow is our time to begin our destiny. Our future is now.
Education is the foundation of success,
and we’re pleased to congratulate the Class of 2013 on receiving their diplomas. We know you will continue to work hard and achieve great things! A message from your teachers, members of the Fraser-Cascade Teachers’ Association.
