Fatal ATV crash near Hope

Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

A 30-year-old Mission man was killed in an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) accident on Sunday, six kilometres east of the Portia exit on Highway 5. Hope RCMP received a 911 call at about 3:30 p.m. regarding an ATV driver going over an 80-foot embankment and rolling over. The man’s 29-year-old brother

was a passenger on the ATV at the time, but managed to jump off prior to the accident. Hope Search and Rescue was called to the scene to help recover the body of the deceased man. The B.C. Coroner’s Office was also in attendance. The incident is currently under investigation by Hope RCMP, with assistance from the Lower Mainland District Integrated

Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service. The name of the ATV driver has not been released, pending notification of next of kin. Hope Search and Rescue was also dispatched by the emergency coordination centre on Sunday afternoon at 3:15 p.m. to assist an injured hiker with a broken ankle near Poland Lake in Manning Park. Hope SAR sent two mem-

bers via helicopter to perform a hover exit. On route, the Chilliwack Helicopter Long Line Rescue team was requested to prepare the woman for helicopter extraction. Meanwhile, two Hope SAR members on quads prepared a landing area near Manning Park Resort Lodge so that the woman could be transported to hospital in an ambulance.

Community gears up for annual Terry Fox Run Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

Michelle Richardson has always been inspired by Terry Fox and his story. Growing up in the Tri-Cities, she remembers watching the Marathon of Hope on TV and like many people still feels a connection to Fox. Over the years, she’s participated in numerous fundraising events, including the local annual Terry Fox run/walk. “It’s really about keeping his hope alive and supporting cancer,” said Richardson. “It’s a cause that’s important to me that I believe in supporting. Really I don’t know anybody that hasn’t been affected by cancer in some way.” This year, she’ll be running the route on Sunday with her husband and daughter. The five or 10-kilo-

from cena.m., at 8 will

head down Kawkawa Lake Rd. towards the Trans Canada Trail and Kawkawa Lake area, before looping back to the

recreation centre. Thirty-three years ago Terry Fox embarked on his Marathon of Hope, dipping his prosthetic leg into the Atlantic Ocean in St. John’s, N.L. After running 42 kilometers a day for 143 days, he was forced to stop when cancer spread to his lungs. Since then, millions of people around the world have kept his dream alive with more than 9,000 runs organized every year. To date, the Terry Fox Foundation has raised more than $600 million for cancer research worldwide. Walk/run participants can bring donations or pledges to the local event on Sept. 15, or drop them off at the recreation centre. All admission fees to the Hope Recreation Centre on Sunday will be donated to the Terry Fox Foundation.

Two-year sentence for stolen property A New Westminster man who pleaded guilty to a series of stolen-property offences has been sentenced to two years in prison. Ivan Logan Johnson’s prison term will be followed by two years of probation. He was given credit for the one year he has already served in jail. Johnson, 33, was arrested with co-accused Dave Yaroslawsky, 31, of Surrey on March 2, 2012 after a standoff at the Super 8 Motel on Glover Road in Langley. The men were in possession of so many stolen items that police

had to create a slideshow on their website to allow the public to look through the items and determine what belonged to them. Police recovered everything from stolen jewelry, including lockets and rings, to coins, stolen ID and electronics. The police then held a day where victims of break-ins could come to the detachment and view the property. The items had been stolen mainly from homes in Abbotsford, Surrey, Langley, Hope and Chilliwack.

Yaroslawsky has pleaded guilty to 32 charges – mainly for stolen property – and is scheduled for sentencing in November. During his sentencing hearing on July 31, the court heard that he had accumulated so many stolen items that he had rented a storage locker in Aldergrove to stash it. Numerous items were also found in his vehicle at the Super 8 Motel, as well as in his motel room. He claimed that he was a “fence” for the stolen property and was not involved in the break-ins.

Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

The Coquihalla River will be awash in yellow on Sunday as hundreds of rubber ducks make their way down for the first annual Hope Rotary Club Rubber Ducky Race. The event will start at the Kawkawa Lake Road Bridge, where about 500 ducks are expected to be dropped into the river. The finish line will be at Rotary Trails where the Fraser and Coquihalla rivers meet. “It’s just a family fun day,” said event organizer Hondo Stroyan. “Most of the Rotarians will be wearing hard hats with ducks on them. We’re just trying to make it a little bit silly and little bit fun.” Each rubber duck has been sponsored by a local resident or business. All money raised from the $10 sponsorship fee will go towards Hope Rotary Club’s scholarship fund. The top 10 finishers will receive a $100 each, while the last place duck wins a duck dinner for two at Joe’s Restaurant. The race runs from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 15 at the Hope Golf Club. In addition to the start and finish lines, the floating ducks can be viewed from various locations along the river including the Golf Course Road bridge. There will be burger and hot dog specials available for lunch.

vaccine for free from doctors, clinics and some pharmacies. There were three cases on Bowen Island or Whistler in June. And in August Fraser Health warned that a measles-infected visitor to Abbotsford Regional Hospital exposed about 60 women and newborns in a post-natal unit. The disease is most serious for infants, who die at a rate of one for every 3,000 infections in developed countries. It’s much worse in the third world, which accounts for most of the 150,000 annual measles deaths worldwide. The risk of fatalities as well as significant complications like pneumonia and brain inflammation is why health leaders encourage vaccination. Measles are highly conta-

gious starting one to two days before symptoms show up and continuing until four days after the classic measles rash begins. The droplets from coughs and sneezes can remain airborne in a room for one to two hours after the infectious person has left. “People can spread it without even knowing that they’re ill,” Murti said. Anyone who develops measles symptoms – starting with a fever, runny nose, cough and red, watery eyes – is urged to stay home and not expose others. Fraser Health has put up signs in its facilities warning that anyone arriving with those symptoms should advise staff immediately so steps can be taken to prevent infection of others.

09/13W_HM5

A measles outbreak in the Fraser Health region has prompted a broader warning to residents and health professionals to be on the lookout for the disease. Public health officials say four confirmed cases of measles have turned up in Burnaby, Surrey, Abbotsford and Chilliwack and several more patients have symptoms consistent with measles. Fraser Health is investigating to see if the cases are linked. So far there’s no known source of exposure to measles – most infections are normally from travel to another country. “These people haven’t travelled so we really have no idea where they picked it up from,”

said medical health officer Dr. Michelle Murti, adding the new cases are unrelated to each other. All the recent cases were either unimmunized, incompletely immunized, or didn’t know their immunization status, she said. Anyone born after 1956 should have two doses of measles-containing vaccine, although many have had just one or none at all. The new cases in Burnaby and Surrey each had one vaccination, which Murti said underscores the case for getting two doses. Advice and vaccinations are being offered to anyone who may have been in contact with those infected, and anyone who is unsure about their measles immunization can get the

Exercises like swimming, jogging and cycling are aerobic because the muscles demand a continuous stream of oxygen to burn the energy stored in their cells.

The B.C. government is not planning to recall the legislature for a fall session, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said Tuesday. That could change if a labour dispute shuts down public schools, with contracts expired since spring for teachers and school support staff. The government could call an emergency sitting to impose a settlement if the school year is disrupted by strike action. But de Jong, the B.C. Liberal house leader, confirmed that the scheduled session from October through November will not be

held, as has become routine for the B.C. Liberal government. “The house sat through the summer in the aftermath of the election, and the government wants to take the time to prepare for a robust spring legislative session,” de Jong told reporters Tuesday. After a brief session to table a pre-election budget in February, the government adjourned in March to begin the campaign, then recalled the legislature in July to debate the budget and ministry spending estimates. Meeting those minimum requirements took 36 sitting days. NDP house leader John Horgan said Premier Christy Clark appar-

Wheelchair fee given green light Jeff Nagel Black Press

Fraser Health has gone ahead and imposed a controversial $25 a month wheelchair rental fee at its 16 long-term care homes even though the neighbouring Vancouver Coastal Health Authority has decided to hold off. Seniors have until now had free use of wheelchairs in publicly run residential care homes. Fraser Health was the first B.C. health authority to notify residents in June that if they needed a wheelchair and didn’t own one or rent one from another vendor, they would have to pay starting Sept. 1, unless they applied for and received a hardship waiver. At that time it was expected the policy would be consistent provincewide. Vancouver Coastal spokesman Gavin Wilson said residents there were about to also be notified of the change when a public backlash over the idea prompted the health ministry to

embark on a review of all allowable fees. “It raised the issue that there are a lot of inconsistencies not only between health authorities but even within health authorities about how these fees are applied,” WIlson said. Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said the authority de-

cided to proceed with the fee since more than 1,000 notifications had already been sent to residents in its facilities and some had completed forms or begun applying for hardship waivers. “Rather than create confusion, we decided to say the wheelchair fee remains in place and continue the path

of helping those who cannot afford it to go through the waiver process,” she said. Juma said the fee has been “quite well accepted with regard to the residents we’ve had contact with.” NDP leader Adrian Dix said Fraser officials should reverse the fee, which won’t actually start to be debited from residents’ accounts until the end of September. He noted it’s the only B.C. health authority that will now be charging for wheelchair rentals. “It’s not a good idea, it’s regressive and it requires a lot of energy to collect,” Dix said. “Being ahead of all the other health authorities on an issue like the wheelchair tax is not the right place to be.” The province argued that the fee, aimed to recover maintenance costs for the wheelchairs, was fair because residents who live in their own homes or in many privately run homes don’t get them for free.

Opinion

Published at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press

Time to discipline student societies The news about frosh chants at the University of B.C. and St. Mary’s University in Halifax has shone the light of publicity on some of the less-desirable aspects of campus life at many of Canada’s post-secondary institutions, including some of the most prestigious. The chants which have received attention portray young women as sex objects and glorify violence against women. They are far more than the “school spirit” chants which student leaders say they are, because they put into words what some students actually think about life on campus. While the respective student societies say they are disciplining the leaders of the specific organizations involved, this is not enough. University leaders and governments may have to become involved. Student societies on most campuses are notorious for protecting insiders — those deeply involved in student politics. It’s a lucrative profession, as students are forced to pay fees to student societies, whose officers are elected by a tiny percentage of students. They do all they can to entrench themselves in power, and enrich themselves. Getting rid of them when they do something egregious is almost impossible. University administrations have to start getting much tougher with student organizations, and demand far more accountability. This applies in the area of finances, elections, conflict of interest and, as highlighted in this case, initiation procedures. Provincial governments also have a role to play in this — something they have shied away from. These universities are under the control of provincial legislatures, and most of their operating funds come from taxpayers. It is appalling that institutions which are supposed to train young people to take their place as responsible adults allow such behaviour to take place. The fact that these frosh chants are supposed to be kept under wraps, and that participants are forced to take part in them, makes matters even worse. Universities are supposed to be a place for free expression, not forced behaviour. Provincial Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk, a former Langley RCMP inspector, and other provincial governments need to set strict guidelines for student societies, and immediately suspend those societies which do not comply with basic rules of responsible behaviour. - Black Press

Curing a community cash crunch B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher Local politicians from across B.C. are in Vancouver Sept. 16 to 20 to take part in the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. There will be trivia reported as news, such as the cost of hotels. Suggestions to license mobility scooters or lower speed limits to 40 km/h, dreamed up in Vancouver Island retirement locales, will be rejected by delegates from the rest of the province. Serious discussion will revolve around a report by a UBCM executive committee to reshape the financial relationship between the province and local governments. If this proposal gets the support it

deserves, Premier Christy Clark’s government will be asked to undo a couple of decades of political meddling in that relationship. One problem for local governments is that they depend on property tax, a stable source of revenue but one that has no relationship to the property owner’s ability to pay. It tends to load costs onto lower-income groups such as seniors and renters. Economic growth results mainly in increased corporate and personal income tax revenues as well as sales taxes, which aren’t shared with local governments. One key proposal is to return to a system of revenue sharing grants introduced by the Social Credit government in the 1980s. They were funded by one point each from personal and corporate income tax and six per cent of sales, fuel and resource tax revenues, thus increasing

in years when provincial revenues were strong. The UBCM proposal is to put a share of provincial revenues into an infrastructure bank, to be distributed by the organization on a more stable basis. Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard, one of the authors of the report, uses a basketball analogy to describe the current system of federal-provincial grants for road and bridge projects. It’s a “jump ball,” where communities have to apply to a fund when it’s offered and then see who gets it. Even if a community wins the jump ball, they may find themselves with costs inflated by a hot construction market and an arbitrary deadline to get the job done. Then there are new regulations imposed by senior governments. The most dramatic example these days is a 2020 federal deadline for Greater Victoria to construct land-

Standard

based sewage treatment. Even with federal and provincial cost sharing, this project is going to land heavily on property tax bills, including those of pensioners and poor renters who will have it passed on to them. Leonard points to another arbitrary system, provincial facilities that pay grants in lieu of property taxes. Saanich is home to the University of Victoria, a community of 25,000 people that needs water and sewer service, as well as police and fire protection. Saanich gets an annual grant in lieu of property taxes of $120,000 for UVic, enough to cover wages and benefits for one cop and maybe some gas money. Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond, co-chair of the UBCM committee, is concerned about new water and flood protection legislation the province is preparing to impose. His district and

Feds support policies that increase competition noted letter to the editor. What the Big Three haven’t told Canadians is that in the 1980s and ‘90 many of the incumbents received substantial start-up advantages including the granting of spectrum through a non-competitive process. They won’t tell you that as a result they already own 85 per cent of the wireless spectrum avail-

able in Canada. Nor will they tell you that in the upcoming 700 MHz spectrum auction a foreign new entrant would be limited to acquiring five per cent of the total spectrum available in Canada. Canadian companies dominant the wireless industry in Canada and despite the fear mongering of the Big Three will

continue to do so regardless of the entry of new foreign competitors. Since 2008 our Conservative government has been consulting with the wireless industry to develop policies that will benefit Canadians most. These policies are designed to provide Canadian families with greater choice and lower prices. These policies are

working. In fact, since 2008 our actions have driven down the average cost of wireless services in Canada by nearly 20 per cent, all the while increasing the number of jobs in our wireless sector by nearly 25 per cent. The Big Three have a responsibility to their shareholders so it doesn’t surprise me that they want policies that serve

It serves no good function what so ever. There were stops signs on Seventh Avenue both ways to begin with. To put in a four way stop only confuses drivers.

Disappointed with the salmon barbecue There were many people, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, looking forward to our First Nations Salmon Barbecue at Brigade Days, who ended up being disappointed, including me. I am an ancient Aboriginal Elder and have attended many Aboriginal events in my time. Each time whether it be a meeting, special conference, funeral, etc., what impressed me was

the great care taken with meals that were served with pride. The Elders were treated with much respect. Not so, in many areas. The First Nations Barbecue was very disappointing. There were a lot of complaints as I was sitting with several people that had an opinion about the meal. I realize no one will complain as they may be family or members of an Aboriginal commu-

nity. I believe in constructive criticism. I believe in telling the truth. Why be still? The meal was two small strips of salmon, half a small potato, two tablespoons of rice and a few rings of cooking onion for $12. I believe in receiving a reasonable portion if I’m paying $12. I’m not asking for a handout, most Elders of my generation never would accept handouts – they

earned everything they own. I believe the most important part missing from the salmon barbecue was bannock. I heard mention around our table that’s what people were there for. I will donate a hundred pounds of flour etc., for Brigade Days 2014. As for the salmon, it shouldn’t be skimped on as we don’t have to pay the high prices for salmon like some Elders have

to pay. Hope more people will start voicing their opinion regarding service by any and all food vendors. Hereditary chief, Anna Chapman – Maguire

Locked gates were a hassle Did you like Briggie weekend? I went to most of the events over the weekend and I saw a lot of wrongs that went on. For one, they locked the gate at the ball parks. So the players had to walk all the way to the curling rink to get there, which was a huge inconvenience. My solution would be putting a fence from the curling rink to the washrooms and a table on the other side of the washroom and Diamond 2. Another issue was fencing off the concession people. Who’s brain wave was that? Another thing was volunteers complaining and crying because they were yelled at for doing whatever. What you have to remember, they are volunteers. They don’t need to be there, but they are. We need everyone. Deano Chapman

Distracted driving in campaign crosshairs Crashes kill 31 people a year in Lower Mainland

Tom Fletcher

Jeff Nagel

Black Press

Police and ICBC are launching a monthlong campaign to deter distracted driving, the third leading cause of fatal car crashes in the province after speed and impaired driving. In the Lower Mainland, driver distraction is blamed as a factor in 31 deaths a year and in 91 fatalities province-wide. Transportation ministry officials estimate drivers are four times likelier to crash when talking on a hand-held phone while driving and 23 times more likely to be in a crash if texting. Enforcement by officers handing out $167 fines will be stepped up throughout September, according to police. And officials kicked off the campaign last Thursday using a simulator to show the effect of distractions on a driver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Driving is a complex task that requires your full attention,â&#x20AC;? ICBC interim president Mark Blucher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re distracted behind the wheel your reaction time is significantly reduced. Distracted driving is a common cause of rear-end crashes and injuries

Police and ICBC have launched a campaign to deter distracted driving, the third leading cause of fatal car crashes in B.C.

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there is no safe following distance when your mind is not on the road.â&#x20AC;? A 2012 survey for ICBC found B.C. motorists consider texting while driving to be just as risky as drinking and driving, yet 40 per cent of those who own cellphones admit theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used a handheld phone while driving. ICBC says its statistics count use of communications or video equipment among the

sources of driver distraction, along with

driver inattention and other sources of inter-

nal or external distraction.

Construction union leaders emerged from a meeting with Premier Christy Clark Monday with a deal to work as â&#x20AC;&#x153;equal partnersâ&#x20AC;? on trades training for liquefied natural gas and other industrial development. B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair and Tom Sigurdson, executive director of the B.C. and Yukon Building and Construction Trades Council, said they want to put political differences with the B.C. Liberal government behind them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the course of the election campaign, Christy Clark was the only leader who wore a hardhat,â&#x20AC;? Sigurdson told reporters after a meeting at Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vancouver office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I can assure you that what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to do is put a couple of union stickers on there.â&#x20AC;? Sinclair, more familiar with speaking at protest rallies against the government, said skills training is in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;crisisâ&#x20AC;? that needs cooperation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obvious the LNG is a critical part of our future,â&#x20AC;? Sinclair said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the only part where skill shortages exist. The mining industry, the forest industry, the other energy industries, and many other places require skilled trades.â&#x20AC;? Clark said a committee representing government, employers and unions has a target of Sept. 30 to formalize a plan for increased trades training. Skills training was a major focus of the spring election campaign, with NDP leader Adrian Dix promising to return unions to a partnership he said was left out by the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Industry Training Authority.

RCMP Musical Ride a highlight of Brigade Days A rainy start to the 45th annual Brigade Days in Hope didn’t put a damper on the weekend festivities. The celebration included fireworks, a softball tournament, parade, vendors, chainsaw wood carving, kids games, a theatre performance, live music, sheepdog trials, and motorsports events. This year also featured two RCMP Musical Ride performances (which attracted about 3,000 spectators) and the RCMP Regimental Ball. “So much hard work and effort went into everything so that our wonderful community could enjoy yet another volunteer-driven Briggy event,” said Michael Kropp, Hope Brigade Days president. “Without the unbelievable contributions from the small volunteer group we have had the honour of working with, truly there could be nothing accomplished. It has been so fantastic to see what Hope can do if we work together and stay positive.” The Sports Bowl once again was a big draw at Brigade Days, offering audiences flying trucks and plenty of crushed steel. Organized by Hope Motorsports Group, the annual event featured 17 4x4, 14 mini stock, and 25 demolition derby entries this year. 4x4 races: Short Box 1st - Cam Friesen 2nd - Fred Laramie 3rd - Troy Black Competition Modified 1st - Jeff Cole 2nd - Rob Dufault 3rd - Steve Duke Long Box 1st - Cody Leach 2nd - Don Davis 3rd - Aaron Harris Bob Tail 1st - Pat Kirksey

Others in the business community see it is a distraction from a company’s core financial goals, making them less efficient and effective, and they cite as much research as the Tammy advocates that CSR does not Shields have a positive impact on business performance. Still others criticize CSR, viewing it as some type of corporate smoke-screening and concluding that because a company may do better as a result of having a strong CSR strategy, there is something unethical about it. Whatever your posi-

Whether having a strong CSR policy is good for the company or not – or why they have one – is debatable. Whether or not it is good for the community is clear.

Although multiple definitions exist, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is defined on the Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada website as “the voluntary activities undertaken by a company to operate in an economic, social and environmentally sustainable manner.” Some companies take CSR beyond compliance and engage in endeavours that further some social good, beyond the interests of their business and standards set by law. Some people in the business world wholeheartedly advocate for CSR for business reasons. They strongly believe in the corporate financial impact of “doing well by doing good.” CSR, they say, is not only good for people and

years. The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m., seldom goes beyond 7 p.m., and the next one will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 18. Of course, we will also continue to provide space for the Friends of the Hope Library Senior’s Coffee and Conversation group on Thursday mornings. Seniors are welcome to come and have a coffee and chat with other seniors. Sometimes the library will bring in a speaker - and coming up, the Council of Senior Citizens Organizations of B.C. will present a workshop on technology and aging on Sept. 26. This will be a look at what is available now and what the future promises to provide. Wrapping up the month, during Arts & Culture Days (Sept. 27 – 29), the Hope and District Arts Council, the Friends of the Library, and the

Art Machine will be collaboratively constructing a companion for Annabelle. She’s the fabulous lady with the lovely smile, the one who greets everyone at the library. A grand way to wrap up September! Staff Picks: Free Magic Secrets Revealed: A Memoir by Mark Leiren-Young, the author of Never Shoot a Stampede Queen and The Green Chain. Leiren-Young did an author reading at Hope Library a few years ago and I thought I’d give his latest – billed as “a side-splitting coming-of-age journey” a try. I find I am quite enjoying his autobiographical account of the angst involved in being a teenage playwright. Also recommended: Louise Erdrich’s The Round House, which is getting good reviews on Bibliocommons (the library catalogue) and is the winner of the 2012 National Book Award. A moving exploration of love and violence.

library! So what’s on at the library this fall? We will be introducing some new ongoing programs. Every Sunday, Happy Knit Hope welcomes knitters of all ages to join them at the library fireplace for a knit and chat. And once a month, we’ll have both writers and travellers meeting to discuss their respective passions! Just around the corner is Internation- Deb al Talk Like a Pirate Ireland Day on Thursday, Sept. 19. We’ll have pirate stories, cookies, and yes, pirate talk! Maybe there will be some practice pirate talk at the Friends of the Library meeting the night before? Perhaps. As an aside, everyone is welcome to join this group of library lovers who have been so instrumental in raising funds for library “extras” over the

Bibliotheca

Even though the weather remains hot and dry, we’ve wrapped up summer at the library and are already starting our fall programming this week. At the end of August, we hosted a lively rock and roll pizza party in celebration of the reading done by the over 200 children and adults who signed up for this year’s Summer Reading Club. Music was provided by Tony Prophet, an energetic and engaging children’s performer, but I saw quite a few adults tapping their toes and doing a little dancing! Library manager, Nicole Glentworth, presented certificates of achievement and Mayor Susan Johnston took time out of her mayoral schedule to be on hand to congratulate the readers with a handshake and an awesome Reading Club medal. But it seems that summer isn’t truly over until Brigade Days has been and gone. Once again the library was pleased to be part of the festivities. We were able to have LiLi, the Library Live and On Tour vehicle and her new driver Dave, this year so we had some catchy library tunes to accompany Hope Library staff in our parade entry. Thing One and Thing Two and, of course, the Cat in the Hat - a.k.a. Kristin, Sarah and me! Later Saturday afternoon, the library hosted a talk by Mike Starr and Chris Heschl of Fort Langley National Historic Site. Governor Simpson was quite the taskmaster!

New management at local bowling alley Free bowling for 55+ players at Sunshine Lanes throughout September Barry Stewart Hope Standard

After three years of silent ownership, Sunshine Lanes owner Evan Williams is trying a new tactic to bring new energy to the eight-lane bowling alley: locally-based management. Williams bought the facility three years ago and had the lanes and lounge overhauled, under the supervision of Drew Pate, who had taken on a threeyear lease. While the King Pin lounge has been successful — and the Greyhound depot has been moved from the Hope Laundromat to Williams’ site — the bowling aspect never seemed to get off the ground. With the lease contract expired and Pate not wanting to continue, Williams said he decided to hire people with a long history in Hope to manage the facility. Michelle “Mo” O’Sullivan was already working in the lounge and is now the manager — and Crystal Mann was hired to manage the bowling and Greyhound components. At age 77, the Langley-based businessman said he can’t seem to stay retired for long and has been traveling to Hope to get the ball rolling on the bowling lanes. Step one is to get people back in the building and the first promotion that he and Mann have come up with is free bowling for age 55+ players, from 10 a.m. to noon, Monday through Friday during September. That’s right: FREE. “We’ve also come up with a family plan, where two adults and four kids up to age 15 can play three games for $30 — shoes included,” said Williams. “And we’re looking at minor sports fundraisers,” added Williams. “Minor leagues are always strapped for money, so on a Saturday, maybe, we could do a bowling fundraiser, with a 50/50 split of proceeds. If people like the game, they’ll come back again.” League bowling was once popular in Hope but has not returned to make use of the rejuvenated lanes. Williams and

Mann plan to change that this fall. “We’ve got a lot of people showing interest,” said Williams. “I had some meetings with people who used to bowl here and they were determined to come back and join a league in October. Based on what I’ve heard from people I’ve talked to, 20 to 25 said they’re definitely coming.” Another change is getting the lanes re-affiliated with Bowl BC. “This facility hadn’t been with Bowl BC for some years,” said Williams. “Players who bowl here can now go on to bowl elsewhere, in provincial or national championships.” Some 20 years ago, Hope’s Bill Schoenberger won a national championship in youth five-pin bowling. Williams thinks that kind of success could happen again. “We should be able to get a group of athletes out of the high school and make up a team,” he figured. “It’ll take some effort — but we have to get them interested first. I understand that it could be arranged as a tax deductible activity, for their parents’ taxes.” Mann said she has been reading up on bowling rules and league play and she’ll be visiting Chilliwack’s Chillibowl Lanes to get some tips from the manager there. She is excited about the prospects of getting leagues running this fall. “A couple of people have asked about youth leagues — and the seniors have asked me to do two leagues, one in the morning and one in the evening. I’m hoping to do the morning league from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The days are up to them. “Something important to me is a Sunshine League, for people with disabilities,” she added. “I’d also like to see company teams, like Lordco versus Rona or Buy and Save versus Coopers. I know it has worked in other towns. It would be nice for them to get together and unwind.” If you’d like to be part of a league, drop by the bowling desk and leave your name and contact info.

July 9, 1945 August 14, 2013 It is with great sadness I announce the passing of Linda on Aug 14, 2013. Linda passed away peacefully at Cascades Hospice in Chilliwack, B.C. after a courageous 10 year battle with liver disease and its complications. Linda will be greatly missed by her husband of 10 years, William, and their loyal companion Buddy the dog. She was born in Petit Paquetuill, New Brunswick on July 9, 1945 into a proud Acadian family. Linda moved to BC in the late 60’s and worked for BCAA for 18 years. She later opened her own small antique store in Vancouver with her husband William. We moved to Hope, BC to give her a small town/home town feel as she battled the disease. Linda still kept upbeat and always looked on the bright side of life even while in pain. When she became too ill to work her passion for life was found with gardening and painting. Linda loved to do oil on canvas painting and donated some of her works to local service groups for their charity auctions. She loved to be in the garden and work with her flower beds. Linda loved flea markets and garage sales. Linda had a quirky sense of humour and was a compassionate and loving person. Linda fought a valiant battle the last 6 months of her life. In July, Linda was deemed palliative and began to lose the battle she fought so strongly. She was moved to Cascade Hospice at the end of July where she finally felt at rest. With the aid and care of the wonderful staff and volunteers, Linda passed peacefully to a place where there is no more pain - A place where we will meet again someday and all the struggles and sorrows will feel like a moment in time. I would like to thank the wonderful support network we had during this terrible time: MaryAnn and John of Hope and their families; the staff at Cascade Hospice, especially Karen; the doctors and nurses at Fraser Canyon Hospital in Hope BC and thank you Pastor Harold for everything. At Linda’s request no funeral service will be held. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Canadian Liver Foundation are greatly appreciated. A Celebration of Life will he held at a later date. I did not lose my wife, But simply will have to wait until we are together again in the hereafter. I know she will be looking down on me and I will still be looking up to my angel on earth who is now my angel in Heaven. Rest now - Sweetheart ~ William
