Sto:lo leaders try to stop Yale Treaty Jennifer Feinberg Black Press
Sto:lo leaders from Chilliwack flew to Ottawa last week to try to stop the federal government from ratifying the Yale First Nation treaty. The final agreement of the Yale treaty was signed in B.C. on April 13, marking the third treaty to emerge from the B.C. Treaty Process. Once the treaty officially comes into effect, the Yale economy will finally be “kick-started” as partnerships are forged with business and
tourism ventures, said Yale Chief Robert Hope. “I really believe this place will be a better place to live,” said the Yale Chief. “It will be better for natives and non-natives; for residents and non-residents.” He said the effective date for the treaty could be 2015. About 80 of the 150 registered Yale members actually live in Yale, a small community north of Hope. “The other half live in places like Chilliwack or Mission,” Hope said. The treaty was approved by the B.C. legislature two years ago, but the Yale treaty bill still has to be
ratified in the House of Commons before it becomes law. One of the outstanding issues for Sto:lo leaders is about access to traditional fishing camps, as well as burial grounds on a stretch of the Fraser River in the Fraser Canyon between Spuzzum and Yale. “The fishery is of significant importance to the Sto:lo people,” said Doug Kelly of the Sto:lo Tribal Council. “It always has been, and it always will be.” This is precisely where the Yale and Sto:lo positions are still at odds, Kelly said, and it could very well end up in court.
“If blood is shed,” Kelly told Black Press, it will be at the hands of provincial and federal government officials for ratifying the Yale treaty. Every time the subject of fishing in the Fraser Canyon comes up publicly, the spectre of violence has been raised by Sto:lo leadership. The two sides have been effectively at an impasse for years, unable to reach any common ground, even efforts with a professional mediator, Vince Ready, failed to produce results. Continued on 3

Expo 86 sign discovered Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
A piece of history has resurfaced in Hope. Deryck Forrest and students from the EXCELL program were recently cutting grass between the Station House and Shell gas station on Old Hope Princeton Way when they discovered a concrete Expo 86 sign. The sign was covered in overgrowth and resting on the slope that leads to the train tracks behind the building. “I couldn’t believe it,” said
Forrest, who is the Station House vice-president. “The biggest thing is that nobody knows anything about it. It would be neat to know how it got there. It’s part of the history of Hope.” The Expo 86 sign was originally placed at the junction of highways 1 and 7 in 1986 to welcome visitors to the world fair in Vancouver. It was to be dismantled by the Ministry of Highways on Oct. 31 that year, but town council agreed to retain the installation
with a modification of the Expo 86 logo and maintain the area which included flowers and flag poles. A North Vancouver company quoted council $3,000 in November 1986 to change the large sign to say “Welcome to Hope.” There’s no clear indication how the Expo 86 sign ended up behind the Station House. However, Forrest would like to see it cleaned up and moved to a more visible location in front of the Station House.
Hunting for treasure in Hope Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
It’s time to clean out your closets and get rid of unwanted household items. The third annual Trash to Treasure event organized by Hope Communities in Bloom returns June 22, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Residents are encouraged to place items in front of their property with a sign clearly identifying them as “Trash to Treasure,” or “T2T.” “We all have extra things,” said HCIB chair Victor Smith. “It’s a good way to get rid of items and help others make use of it.”

The third annual Trash to Treasure event returns on June 22.
The goal is to keep items out of the land-
fill by giving people an opportunity to recycle
them. Smith said the event attracts treasure hunters from around the Fraser Valley. Since this is not a district-run program, homeowners are asked to remove all remaining items by 4 p.m. as they will not be picked up by the District of Hope or First Class Waste Services. “As the event’s name suggests, one man’s trash can clearly be another man’s treasure,” said Mayor Susan Johnston. “So let us take this opportunity to clean up and toss out those items that still have value and can be used and appreciated by someone else.”

Sto:lo access to land won’t be restricted: Yale Chief
From 1
Grand Chief Kelly was in Ottawa last Tuesday, as was Sto:lo Nation head Joe Hall, trying to convince MPs not to ratify the treaty. “If I heard (Aboriginal Affairs minister) Sophie Pierre correctly yesterday at the Parliamentary Standing Committee then she believes that 10,000 Sto:lo hold a veto over 150 Yale,” Kelly wrote on his Facebook page. “Given that Yale borrowed funds to negotiate a treaty then Canada should ratify their treaty. Regardless of Parliament, the Sto:lo have Section 35 constitutionally protected rights. “Apparently, it is okay with Sophie that the Sto:lo will have to beg, borrow, raise funds to fight in court for our constitutional rights.” Sto:lo leaders say there are about 10,000 on- and off-reserve Sto:lo, and they have been asked to check in with Yale officials when entering Yale territory. Some have expressed outrage about the prospect of that requirement for the past several years. They’re not content with the “gatekeeper” role Yale will play post-treaty, and have said they will defy RCMP or DFO officers if they have to protect what they say are constitutionally protected rights. “When there has been a disagreement

One of the Yale projects for safety and emergency preparedness is creating a GPS map of all the Yale fishing sites, campsites and trail system in the area. “Sometimes there are disputes and people will call the Yale band office or RCMP. Now they would know exactly where to go because of the GPS mapping.” “So how is the Yale treaty going to affect the whole Fraser Canyon?” he said. “It’s going to be a much safer place to be.”

rather than the leadership, and said there are only a handful of Sto:lo families who still set up fish camps in the Canyon. “We’re looking to build these relationships.” They’ll also be working with DFO as they manage navigable waters, but the federal fisheries officials have no jurisdiction on the land, “especially the Yale First Nation treaty land,” he points out. But between the two levels of government, a very orderly and well managed fishery can be the results. “I can see a good, safe fishery being

them access to dryrack fishing sites, burial grounds and other sacred sites. But the Yale leader disagreed that his nation is part of the Sto:lo, and argued that Sto:lo communities could have had their own treaty. “What they were proposing was right off the radar,” Hope said. On the Yale First Nation website, the home page states that Yale is an independent nation. “We are an independent First Nation, standing apart from both Sto:lo Nation, and the Nlaka’pamux,” reads a section at www.
yalefirstnation.ca. Hope has a message for Sto:lo leadership. “Don’t hold us back. Give us some encouragement.” The Sto:lo were assured they’d get “reasonable” access, but they argue they have constitutionally protected rights to fish, even in the canyon. “No one can own the river,” Chief Hope underlined. “Sto:lo fishermen come up the river in their boats. So do the sport fishers. No one is going to stop them. We are not preventing them. What this treaty means is that we will no longer be looked after by Indian Affairs.” The Yale government will govern, he said, but no one is stopping the Sto:lo from exercising their rights. “Yale is a progressive community. We are looking straight ahead, we’re not looking back. We’re making laws, not breaking them.” Yale officials want to counter any assertion that they will restrict people unfairly from accessing their land, underlined the chief. “We will not be arbitrarily picking who can and cannot come onto our land,” said Hope, although he could see restrictions placed on known pedophiles, for example. “All they have to do is say hello.” Chief Hope said the Yale have been working to forge agreements with the “grass roots” Sto:lo members

Be safe this summer Summer weather is here, and while our minds may be drifting toward the beach, our brains need to be focused on safety. It’s as predictable as the tide. Every summer, the number of preventable accidents and deaths out on the water rise. While the seasonal increase may seem like a simple yet unfortunate side effect of the masses flocking to our lakes and rivers, it’s high time those numbers decrease. We’re smart enough. We all know the rules and even for those who don’t, the information is out there — as close as your nearest smart phone. The Canadian Safe Boating Council runs safety campaigns to educate the public about the many dangers of the water. But those lessons need to go on all year long. On average, 125 people die every year in boating deaths, in Canada alone. In recent years, some of those deaths have happened right here in our backyard. So, we say it again. Be safe this summer. Encourage your friends and family to be safe. Inform tourists and visiting friends that dangers lurk in that natural beauty. And remember the five key safety tips: Wear a lifejacket. Don’t drink and boat. Take a safe boating course. And ensure that you and your vessel are prepared before casting off. Your life depends on it. - Black Press
Expense cleanup must continue B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher As she unveiled her new cabinet, Premier Christy Clark promised a “line-by-line” review of government spending to deliver a balanced budget this year. Statements such as this would have more credibility if politicians subjected their own personal spending to the same scrutiny. That’s still not happening in B.C. Expense accountability has come a long way in the last year, thanks mainly to the work of nowdeparted Auditor General John Doyle, who swung the cobwebcovered door open on B.C.’s secretive Legislative Assembly Management Committee. Chaired by the
speaker and run by senior MLAs from both parties, the committee had been doing pretty much whatever it wanted with MLAs’ own expenses. Doyle’s audit found that MLA credit card bills were being paid without receipts, part of a lax accounting system that included inaccurate bank records and inadequate management of the legislature gift shop and dining room. The operating budget of the legislature and constituencies runs to more than $60 million a year. Now-retired speaker Bill Barisoff asked the auditor to give a pass to the $119,000 annual allowance for each of the 85 constituency offices. Transfer amounts and payroll expenses were verified, but constituency expenses were not, likely because these records weren’t kept either. I’m not suggesting that there has

been any misuse of public funds. The point is we don’t know, and the notion of an “honour system” for politicians’ expenses has become unacceptable. A similar toxic tale has been unfolding in the Senate in Ottawa. It has its own secretive committee called the Board of Internal Economy, which was forced into the open after trying to sweep Senator Mike Duffy’s housing claims under the red rug of the Senate chamber. Duffy has lived in Ottawa for decades, first as a TV host and then senator, but he decided the rules were loose enough that he could claim his summer place in Prince Edward Island as his principal residence. An audit has also found he was claiming living expenses in Ottawa while campaigning for the Conservatives back east. It turns out the key ingredient in an honour system is honour.
Standard
This mess goes back more than a century in B.C. and Canada, and has its roots in the British Parliament, where MPs and Lords had a system of claiming all sorts of expenses, including construction of a “duck house” and maintenance of the moat around an Honourable Member’s castle. Many years ago, British MPs convinced themselves that they were underpaid, and rather than create a public fuss by giving themselves a big raise, they would be able to top it up by claiming up to 250 pounds at a time without receipts. Cheers! You can imagine how well that worked out. As one observer put it, the system was not only open to abuse, it was actually designed for it. Here in B.C., the next step is obvious.

Painter warns of ‘unscrupulous business practices’ I am a large scale muralist and private contractor, and have recently been doing some work in Hope. I was doing a window mural for an establishment on Wallace Street and was approached by another business owner who liked my work and repeatedly asked me to consider doing a mural on the exterior wall of his restaurant. I agreed to take a look and went there to scope out the project. He showed me a picture of what he wanted and we agreed on the terms and drew up a written contract
specifying a retainer up front with full payment upon completion. I received a cheque for the retainer, purchased the paint and proceeded to prepare the wall for the mural. Then next day I spent approximately 12 hours painting the mural and was very pleased with the way it was coming together. The owner was not there that day but an employee repeatedly came out and took pictures while speaking to someone on the phone in his native tongue which I didn’t un-
derstand. When the owner finally arrived, he looked at the mural which was not yet finished and began fault-finding and insisting on changes to the original image and size. After some discussion it became very clear that he was not going to honour the contract. I was outraged at his lack of honour and integrity as I had really endeavored to do my best for him. I stopped painting at that point. The next day I went to the bank to cash the retainer
and was informed the cheque had been cancelled immediately after it was written – before I had even begun preparing to paint the wall. It was obvious to me that he had no intention of paying me right from the beginning. In my view, this is the height of unscrupulous business practices and I felt it was my duty to bring this situation to light in the hopes that others will not fall prey to the same thing. Doug Cariou
Victims’ rights should always be put ahead of criminals My wife Lisa and I recently celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary, in the same month that my parents marked 38 years of matrimony. And like many of mom and dad’s anniversaries have been over the years, ours was spent a half a continent apart with Lisa in Chilliwack, and me in Ottawa. I often think back to the carefree days of our early marriage, when it was just the two of us, sleeping in, enjoying weekends doing whatever we pleased and planning for the future. We were married for five years before our son was born, and now it’s hard to remember life without him. He completely and wonderfully changed our lives forever and for the better. I have always found it remarkable how hav-
Prank call warning Last Wednesday, I received a call from one of my customers and she asked if I had just made a prank call to her phone, as my number and business name came up on her call display. I called the security department of Telus and they informed me that it is possible for people to use whatever name and number they want by hacking into the system. Telus also said there was nothing I could do to stop it. However, if you receive any prank call you can immediately phone *57 – only then can Telus trace the source of the prank.

ing a child changed my perspective on things. It’s easy to see time marching on as your child grows older, several inches taller and reaches each important milestone. I’ve also found it harder to watch the news since I became a parent. For instance, when the Boston bombers killed an innocent eight-year-old boy there to watch his dad race – a boy the same age as my own – the emotions were right on the surface. That same feeling welled up inside me just two days after our anniversary, while I was listening to the debate on Bill C-478, The Respecting Families of Murdered and Brutalized Persons Act, which will increase the penalties for those depraved
criminals who sadistically prey upon societies’ most vulnerable citizens. Too many families in our country have been destroyed by monsters like Clifford Olsen, Willie Pickton, and Paul Bernardo, to name a few. Bill C-478 will make sure that those wicked criminals who would kidnap, torture and murder are not allowed to re-victimize the families they have already devastated by applying for parole every two years after they become eligible. It will mean that these types of criminals could be ineligible for parole for 40 years, instead of the current 25. This change would save the families up to eight parole hearings – up to eight times that
they would need to drag up the emotions and the feelings of loss that they have to try to cope with each and every day. The families of victims support this bill. So do police. But as I sat in the House of Commons for the first hour of debate, I was disappointed to learn that the NDP would not support it. In their response to the bill, the first thing their justice critic did was question whether the Charter rights of the offender would be violated by the changes this bill proposes. Governing, like parenting, often requires setting priorities and making difficult choices. But when it comes to a choice between the rights of law abiding citizens and the rights of criminals, the choice is an easy one. And that’s
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
LAST WEEK WE ASKED:
Should parole ineligibility for people convicted of abduction, sexual assault and murder be increased to 40 years from the current 25?

Shining a light on elder abuse in Hope The Hope Community Response Network (CRN) is planning to shine a light on various forms of elder abuse this week. On June 14, the public is invited to drop by the Child Care Resource and Referral office at 388B Wallace St. between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. for coffee, cookies and free gifts.
“The Hope CRN plans to highlight the need for prevention activities that allow seniors in the community to live in safety and dignity,” said Kim Paolini. “Just as importantly, our CRN plans to honour and celebrate those who remain active and vibrant members of our community.” In 2006, the United Nations offi-

cially proclaimed June 15 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day to bring greater recognition of abuse and neglect of seniors, which is taking place in communities everywhere. While elder abuse often goes unreported, the Ministry of Health reports that as many as 10 per cent of B.C. seniors will experience some
form of abuse in their later years, that one in 12 seniors will experience some form of financial abuse, and that this abuse is usually caused by close family members or trusted friends. In Hope, social, community and health service organizations, government agencies, community minded
individuals, local business and seniors have come together to form a CRN. The group can provide informational workshops to members of the community to build awareness, help workers in the community recognize the signs of abuse, and identify those in Hope who are able to take action.
Premier to seek seat in Kelowna Tom Fletcher Black Press
Premier Christy Clark will run in WestsideKelowna in a byelection on July 10, after re-elected MLA Ben Stewart announced he was stepping down.
SUDOKU PUZZLE 396
Clark praised Stewart last week at an announcement held at Quail’s Gate winery on the shore of Okanagan Lake. Stewart, who won with 58 per cent of the vote, said he would return to running the winery and other parts of his family business, and will continue to volunteer for the B.C. Liberal Party. Clark called the byelection on Wednesday, and said if she wins the seat she will establish a second residence in the area. She dubbed the
Kelowna area “the cradle of free enterprise in Canada,” and noted it was represented by former premiers W.A.C. and Bill Bennett, whom she called the “Bobby Orr and Wayne Gretzky” of B.C. political leaders. “When you think of the vision that W.A.C. Bennett brought to building our province, and you think of the vision that Bill Bennett brought to controlling the growth of government spending, and keeping taxes low for the people here, a great offence and a great de-
fence,” Clark said. Clark said Stewart was one of several MLAs who offered their seats after she lost her own bid for re-election in Vancouver-Point Grey. Stewart served one term and will not be eligible for an MLA pension, which requires six years’ service. Results of the May 14 election became official last Wednesday, after a judicial recount confirmed a 41-vote win for NDP candidate Selina Robinson in CoquitlamMaillardville. The B.C. Liberal ma-
jority stands at 49 B.C. Liberals, 34 NDP, Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver and Delta South independent MLA Vicki Huntington. Clark reiterated her campaign promises to balance the budget and begin paying down the provincial debt, with a 15-year target to become debt free. She has indicated the legislature will be recalled this summer to pass the budget that was presented in February, which forecasts budget surpluses for the next three years.
Cabinet order raises staff salaries
Tom Fletcher Black Press
The NDP opposition came out swinging Tuesday, releasing cabinet orders that allow for large pay increases for senior political staff in government ministries and Premier Christy Clark’s office. Cabinet orders dated June 3 provide for an 18 per cent increase to the maximum salary for the premier’s chief of staff, from $195,148 to $230,000 per year. The orders provide for a salary range, so the salary currently paid to Clark’s chief of staff, Dan Doyle, is not known. Another order provides for

Clark’s new deputy chief of staff, Michele Cadario, to be paid a salary of $195,148. Cadario, deputy campaign manager in the B.C. Liberals’ successful election campaign, replaces Kim Haakstad, who resigned before the election over improper political activities in the party’s ethnic outreach strategy. NDP MLA John Horgan said the move is particularly inappropriate as the government prepares to comb its operations for cost savings to meet its balanced budget target. “It certainly seems to me that the first day cabinet meets, their priority is not the people of British Columbia, it’s their political pals,” Horgan said on Tuesday. “In
the case of the deputy chief of staff, yesterday this individual would have been paid $144,000 a year. Today that position is $195,000. Nice work if you can get it.” Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the increases reflect new positions and additional responsibilities, and don’t mean extra costs for taxpayers. The extra money is from “reallocations from within, but the overall budget will be the same,” de Jong said. Among those new positions is the promotion of some ministerial assistants to “chiefs of staff ” within each government ministry, making them responsible for other staff in each minister’s office.

GET GROWING Gardening in any sized space Believe you need an acre of property to start gardening? Think again. Individuals can grow their own patch of greenery in just about any space they have on hand. When it comes time to getting your hands dirty, it doesn’t matter if there are rolling hills or a single container filled with soil on which to plant. Although many gardening professionals present plans for larger-scale gardens, it’s possible to create smallerscale options that require a great deal less maintenance and upkeep. To get started, homeowners or apartment dwellers need to first look at the space they have. Perhaps this is a few flower pots or a small square of exposed dirt in an otherwise concrete jungle. Others may have an expansive backyard in which to toil in the soil. If you feel you need more space than what you have available at your home, The Hope Community Garden project can help you out. For $25 you can rent a raised 4’ X 8’ garden bed to plant your vegetables or you can become part of a growers co-op and share space in a bigger garden plot. For more information, contact Esther Brysch, the coordinator of the community garden project, through Free Rein Associates at 604-869-2279.
Next, it’s important to consider the climate and the soil conditions. Soil can be amended to a point, but plants that require a lot of water may not do well in an area plagued by drought. Hanging baskets and raised containers can add height and free up more floor space for gardens. They’re particularly helpful when space is at a premium. Keep in mind that baskets and containers tend to dry out easily, so using peat moss, vermiculite and other products that tend to hold onto water will help keep the soil moist. These containers also may need to be watered more frequently. Containers also can be used to plant small trees or shrubs. Use them for vegetable plants as well. The advantage to containers is they can be moved elsewhere if a plant is not thriving in a particular area. People who have an extremely small space with which to work may be limited to a few flower pots in the window, but they can easily grow herbs or annual flowers. Those who have a large space may want to consider breaking the landscape down into smaller quadrants; otherwise, the garden can seem unruly. Use hardscape materials, such as mulch, rocks, boulders, and slate to break up the greenery.
Emil Anderson Maintenance (EAM) and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure have partnered to replace the greenhouse at the Hope Community Garden, which was destroyed in a wind storm in February 2012. Bobcat operator Rob Isbister and Randy Bergstrom, employees of EAM, help unload topsoil donated by Kevin Knight Contracting. The topsoil will be used for the base of the new greenhouse which will be set up in midJuly. Raised garden beds are still available for rent at Hope Community Garden.

Syphilis infections double in Lower Mainland Jeff Nagel Black Press
Syphilis rates in the Lower Mainland have spiked in the past year to the highest levels seen in decades. The highly contagious sexually transmitted disease, once thought nearly wiped out in B.C., is mainly being seen in men who have sexual contact with other men. Both the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Health regions report their syphilis case numbers more than doubled from 2011 to 2012. Vancouver
Coastal saw nearly 300 cases last year or 80 per cent of the B.C. total. Fraser reported 67 in 2012, up from 27 in both 2010 and 2011. “We’re concerned about the increasing numbers in Fraser even though it’s not as bad as in Vancouver Coastal,” said Dr. Paul Van Buynder, chief medical health officer for the Fraser Health Authority. Some researchers have pointed to the advent of mobile phone apps for easily organizing anonymous gay sex hookups. Van Buynder said he’s not convinced that’s the
“We’re concerned about the increasing numbers in Fraser even though it’s not as bad as in Vancouver Coastal.” Dr. Paul Van Buynder cause of the increase, noting gay or bisexual men seeking casual encounters have always been adept in finding each other. He is concerned that some men involved shifted to oral rather than anal sex out of a belief it would reduce their
risk of HIV infection. “There was some reduction in the HIV transmission but it actually does nothing to decrease your syphilis risk,” Van Buynder said. He said the disease is one of the “great mimickers” be-
cause its symptoms can often be mistaken for bug bites or rashes, leading those infected to ignore it and spread the bacteria to others. “I’m concerned that our physicians may not have seen this for a period of time,” he said. About 80 per cent of new cases are among men who have sex with men – a category that includes both gay and bisexual men as well as other men who don’t identify themselves as such. Public health officials are urging men in the LBGT community to get
tested for syphilis every three to six months and to practice safer sex. Other symptoms of syphilis include fever, swollen lymph glands and weight loss. Catching the disease early and treating it with antibiotics is far easier than suffering the untreated consequences – permanent blindness, hearing loss, deep bone pain, neurological problems and even death. Testing is available at youth clinics, doctor’s offices and other clinics. To find a testing clinic, see www.smartsexresource.com or fraserhealth.ca.

Two men found guilty of civil contempt for distributing unpasteurized milk from a Chilliwack farm will go to jail if they do it again, a B.C. Supreme Court justice ruled last week. Michael Schmidt and Gordon Watson were both handed three-month suspended sentences for defying an earlier court order prohibiting the distribution of raw milk from the Prairie Central Road farm. They had argued that because the milk was being offered as a “cosmetic,” and labeled “not for human consumption,” the court order prohibiting the distribution did not apply. However, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Randall Wong, said there was little doubt what the two men were up to. Wong said in his ruling released last Thursday: “In this case, distributing raw milk as a purported cosmetic product was patent lip service and ruse to distribute raw milk for human consumption.” The case stems from an earlier injunction granted to Fraser Health to shut down a so-called “cow share” program initially run by Alice Jongerden. Called “Home on the Range,” the operation paid its shareholders dividends in the form of raw milk and raw milk products. In 2010, Fraser Health sought and received a permanent injunction against Jongerden, arguing she had breached the Public Health Act by packaging raw milk for distribution. Under the Public Health Act, milk that has not been processed by a licenced dairy is considered a health hazard. Despite the injunction, a year later both Schmidt and Watson had assumed operation of the farm and continued distribution of the raw milk. Under a “new business model,” however, the products were labeled cosmetic and given names like “Cleopatra’s Enzymatic Alpine Lotion.” Fraser Health was not impressed. In August of 2011 it received a warrant to search the property. Nothing was seized during the Aug. 25 search, but Fraser Health Authority spokesman Roy ThorpeDorward said at the time that photographs of the farm on Prairie Central Road were being reviewed to determine if a permanent court injunction issued earlier against distribution of raw milk was being obeyed by the current farm owner. Fraser Health concluded it wasn’t, and argued both Schmidt and Watson were in contempt. Justice Wong agreed. “I conclude that the evidence overwhelmingly establishes that both respondents, Michael Schmidt and Gordon Watson, are guilty of contempt of court beyond a reasonable doubt.” The two were given a three-month suspended sentence, and one-year probation. “Any repetition of this contempt during the probationary period will trigger the imposed sentence imprisonment of three months,” Wong added. The two were also ordered to pay court costs.

Hope opera singer performs in Chilliwack Jennifer Feinberg Black Press
The Fraser Valley Philharmonic Society is presenting Mostly Mozart 2013 on June 15 at the University of the Fraser Valley Theatre in Chilliwack. In the vocal spotlight will be soprano Emili Losier, as featured soloist, accompanied by Orchestra Philomusica. Losier has local ties, as she is returning home to the region from Finland where she had been studying. It’s not by accident that Conductor Leonard Camplin has hand-picked a lively concert program celebrating the stel-
lar work of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The concert also includes wonderful works by Handel, Gluck, Marcello and Pachelbel. “Maestro Camplin has a particular devotion to Mozart,” said spokesperson Paula Quick. “One might even say he’s a Mozartist, with the utmost respect and devotion for not only how much music he produced, but for his incredible genius.” The Philomusica is fortunate to have Camplin at the helm, said Quick. He was a former oboe player before realizing his calling was to conduct. “He’s more than a conduc-
tor. He’s a real musician’s musician. His breadth of knowledge for the repertoire is stunning.” Mozart’s La Finta Giardiniera Overture K196, will open the concert. Camplin points out in his program notes, that opera was Mozart’s favourite musical form, and that he went on to write several. “This short overture is full of excitement and fun, and skips along with its scalic runs and chirpy sounds,” he wrote. The UFV Theatre is a perfect venue for the soloist and orchestra, said Quick, and they performed there for a fundraiser last December. She
appreciated the acoustics and lighting of the venue. “It was a concerted decision on part of the board, not to see that beautiful theatre go unused,” she said. “It’s a perfect size for this type of concert, where the ideal number of patrons is 150 to 200.” Another program highlight will be Canon in D Major. Pachelbel’s beautiful Canon is immediately recognizable to many. For fans of the Italian style, there’s Exsultate Jubilate, a work for voice and orchestra. Camplin takes the audience back in time, when he introduces Handel’s Entry of the Queen of Sheba.

Sports Track athletes represent Hope at provincials Barry Stewart Hope Standard
A small contingent of Hope Secondary School athletes attended the recent B.C. high school track and field championships — coming back with some encouraging results. Coach Jason Fisher was unable to travel with the team, as he was in England for his best friend’s funeral, so the students had to rely on the training they had done under his supervision. Blake Deschenes was Hope’s first challenger since 2010 in the decathlon. That event was held on May 24 and 25 at Abbotsford’s Rotary Stadium, separate from the rest of the provincials, which ran at McLeod Athletic Park in Langley. The switch to the valley facility was a break from the long tradition of having the provincials at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium. Grade 11 student Mina Kim competed in the hammer throw on May 31 and Fisher reported that she unfortunately faulted on all three throws. “I understand it was a little wet that day,” Fisher said on Monday. “She threw out of bounds on her first throw, then she hit the ground before her release on the second throw. On the third try, she probably threw around 30 metres... but she stepped out at the front and was disqualified.” Kim shows promise for next season, added the coach. “She improved in every single event she went in.” Less-than-ideal footing may have hindered Travis Herrling’s last crack at the high jump, in his graduating year. Herrling had gone well over his head in jumping 180 cm at a club meet in Victoria earlier in the season but he maxed-out at 175 cm at the Langley meet. Fisher said Simon Connell’s school record of 185 cm is safe for another year.

Grade 10 Hope Secondary School student Blake Deschenes placed sixth at the B.C. high school provincial championships in decathlon.
Grade 9 student Jeremiah Steberl entered the open pole vault event, competing against senior athletes. Hope secondary has the poles — but there’s no dedicated jumping pit, like those available in bigger centres.
“We train the best we can,” said coach Fisher. “Jeremiah has been jumping for two years now, so he’s got the technique. He cleared 2.70 metres at the provincials, which tied his personal best. He jumped that at the Fraser Valleys,
too.” Justin Dolan, also a Grade 9 student, qualified for the javelin but was unable to secure transportation to the event. “His qualifying throw was over 41 metres at the Fraser Valleys,” said Fish-
er. “That was second-best in junior and fourth-best overall — and the best in our school this year. “He should be pretty good,” added the coach. “I think I’ve convinced him to practice next year.” And then there was De-

schenes — an all-round athlete, who seems to be drawn to anything that moves. “I was sitting in computer class and Mr. Fisher walked in and basically said, ‘You’re going in the decathlon.’ “I usually just trust what he says, so I went along with it... plus, I’d get a free T-shirt.” Fisher added, “Blake’s high jump and javelin are two events that score pretty well — so I thought he should try it.” The two worked through the 10 events on a recent Pro-D day and then Deschenes was on his own, as Fisher couldn’t be there for the competition. There were seven competitors and three younger athletes taking part for the experience, said Deschenes, whose dad Gilbert was in charge of transporting the four-metre long vaulting pole to the event. Blake cleared 167 cm in the high jump, his best event — and third-best jump of the day — and he gave his all in the other track and field disciplines... but it was the pole vault that had him distressed. “I was only jumping one metre-50 in practice,” recalled Deschenes. Indeed, he could have tossed the pole aside and simply highjumped better than that. Then, a memorable gesture of good sportsmanship gave Deschenes the boost he needed. “I talked to a coach from the Surrey public track and field club and he walked me through my practice jumps,” said Deschenes. “With his help, I started at 1.50 and jumped to 2.20 without any faults. I faulted at 2.30, then jumped the second one... and missed all three at 2.35. I was the third to fault out.” Buoyed by his rookie success, Deschenes said he plans to start training in September for the 2014 season.

Daryl Sullivan It is with heavy heart and fond memories that we announce the passing of Daryl Sullivan on June 8, 2013 - loving wife, mother, Mama, Gramzie and friend to many. Daryl was born July 22, 1936 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan to parents Mary and Clarence Gardner and as a child the family, including Richard (Dick) and Keith (Bud) Gardner, moved to Hope BC where she attended school and made many lifelong friends. As a young adult she lived in Jamaica for one year before returning to BC where she started her career as a banker which spanned many years. On January 18, 1964 Daryl married the love of her life Ralph and they started their family in Hope, first living on Raab St before building their home on Coquihalla St where they raised their children Pat and Christy. After retiring from the bank, she decided to put her creativity to work as a business owner and talented florist. Daryl enjoyed many activities such as painting, curling, golf, brownies & girls guides and bowling and as a mother she was very dedicated to the activities of her children where she spent countless volunteer hours committed to Swim Club, Minor Hockey and Figure Skating. As a Mama and Gramzie, she spent hours doing crafts, playing games, attending various events and sporting activities with her grandchildren. In retirement, Ralph and Daryl spent many summers fishing, camping, kayaking and
