Park closer to construction
Kerrie-Ann Schoenit

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2014
A new community sports park in Hope is one step closer to becoming a reality now that Tri-West Contracting has been awarded the construction contract. The local company worked with numerous stakeholder groups in the community to develop the plan for the project, but has partnered with Hope Pathway Partners, Hope Motorsports Group and Hope Mountain Centre to carry out the work. “It’s a community-driven project and community-driven projects have the best legacy in small towns,” said Stephanie Hooker, with Hope Pathway Partners. “We’re getting some really fantastic (assets) in our community that will really improve the lifestyle here and access to recreation infrastructure for our community.” The park has been in the works for two years, but hit a roadblock last July when stakeholders raised concerns about the design, project priorities, the ability for locals to bid on the job, and a perceived lack of communication. District staff worked with the groups to determine a new scope of the project before a request for proposals was issued in October. Tri-West Contracting was the only company to submit a bid. The overall project cost is $463,219, of which 80 per cent is being covered by a provincial grant awarded in 2012. The construction budget alone is $400,000, with the remaining amount being spent on consultant fees and expenditures such as public information meetings. The district has also allocated $17,000 to a contingency fund, which will used for future valueadded components of the community sports park project. “The grant that we received from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development was created to make communities

healthier and more active places to live in. I feel that the proposed project submitted by Tri-West Contracting, in cooperation with various community stakeholders, has met or surpassed the expectations of the province,” said Scott Misumi, the district’s director of community development. “The contractor and their team of community stakeholders did a wonderful job of combining their efforts. The original estimate for the works was set at over $3 million. Through public consultation, the scope of work was pared down to a certain degree but the majority of the project components will be completed within the contract price of $400,000. The substantial cost savings can be attributed to committed volunteer workers and a contractor who wants to contribute to our community.” The project will see upgrades to the Sports Bowl seating area, new signage, skatepark repairs, and improvements to the picnic area and trails. The main trail in particular will be widened so that it is stroller and wheelchair accessible. Hoots Inc. has also been hired to build a new bike skills park for beginner and intermediate riders directly across from Coquihalla Campground, which will be similar to the Island 22 bike skills park in Chilliwack. “A big chunk of the budget is going to the bike skills park and we’re hiring world-renowned professionals to design it,” said Hooker. “This mountain bike skills park is an amenity for local kids but it’s also an attraction for visitors to our community. We’re not going to flatten that forested area, but we’re going to take out all the dangerous trees. The idea is to get kids into nature and get kids active.” The project is likely to get underway sometime in March and work is slated to be completed by the end of the year. Construction is being scheduled to have the least amount of impact on community events.

Ken Becotte, executive director for the Chilliwack Division of Family Practice, spoke to a small crowd at a recent press conference at UFV about the GP For Me program. The CDFP includes the areas of Agassiz, Harrison and Hope, and is hoping to close the gap on health care by connecting patients with the family doctors.
“We’ve got them thinking about what’s working,” he said. Following the presentation to the GPSC, they hope to implement some new strategies. Currently, two nurse practitioners and two physicians work out of the Agassiz Community Health Centre. In Hope, there are seven physicians working with a team of nurse practitioners in the hospital to provide care. Dr. Melanie Madill is a lead physician with the initiative. She said they are working to close the gap, because all research shows that continuity of care can improve your health. She sees about 30 patients a day, and the limit for physicians to treat patients is 52 a day. Madill said there are inefficiencies built into the daily life of a physician, including tasks that could be delegated to other health care staff, such as nurse practitioners. If their days were streamlined, each doctor could potential fit in more patients and decrease wait times. The trickle down effect could be that fewer people would end up
in the emergency or at walk in clinics, alleviating congestion there. But more importantly, patients would be seeing their own doctor more consistently, she said. Having a family doctor “improves health outcomes,” she said. “We are partnering to provide better health care for all of us.” They are slowly increasing the number of nurse practitioners in the hospital, and they are running an active recruitment campaign to encourage more doctors to come to the Chilliwack, Agassiz, Harrison Hot Springs and Hope communities. “We have a vital strategy to not abandon our patients,” Madill said, and to fill in gaps left when doctors retire. Madill acknowledged that the current wait times are not ideal, and that it can frustrating for people moving to town when seeking out a family doctor. She asked that people first contact the Primary Care Clinic in CGH, where the staff can

Meditation goes back thousands of years to Buddhist India. It is practiced today in Canada and one doctor studied the effect meditation had on high blood pressure. He taught a group of people to include yoga and meditation in their daily routine. Although his results didn’t show any lowering of blood pressure, the participants noted that it helped them relax and live with less stress. That’s a good outcome.

assess their needs and put them in contact with a family doctor. “That should be their first contact,” she said, adding that pregnant woman and people with complex care issues will be placed in higher priority. “We can help them,” she said. Dr. John Hamilton, a physician and the Primary Care Program Director for Fraser Health, underlined that attachment to a physician is of the utmost importance in communities across the province. “We’ve had physicians working very hard in this specific way for the last four years,” he said, and some people may have already noticed improvements in how their GP’s office operates. In B.C., 14 per cent of residents do not have a family physician. To learn more about what the Chilliwack Division of Family Practice is doing in the Upper Fraser Valley, visit them on Facebook.
THE RESURRECTION
02/14H_C27
Family doctors in Chilliwack and Agassiz have a busy workload, seeing patients in their private offices, in clinics, and in their rounds at Chilliwack General Hospital. But local family physicians have also been working hard behind the scenes recently, looking at ways to provide even better care to their patients. The Chilliwack Division of Family Practice is conducting a health care improvement initiative called A GP For Me. They hope to connect more people with family doctors, while streamlining workloads to improve efficiency. A recent survey that ran in this newspaper and online garnered 3,059 responses from community members. Questions covered off topics ranging from a patient’s needs, to availability of care. “We were overwhelmed with the level of engagement we received,” said Katrina Bepple, program manager. They were aiming to find ‘unattachment’ rates, the percentage of residents without a consistent family doctor. Of those who responded, 93 per cent indicated they had a family physician. Of those seven per cent who do not have a doctor, five per cent said they would want one. In the aboriginal community, the unattachment rate jumps to 15 per cent. The results of the survey were discussed at a recent press conference held at UFV Chilliwack, one of the community partners involved with A GP For Me. The CDFP will be putting forth a proposal to the General Practices Services Committee about the community’s needs in mid-May, said Ken Becotte, the division’s executive director. The whole process has opened up discussion among local doctors, he said, and has already resulted in changes.

Winners of this November’s local elections will serve four years on councils and school boards. Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Coralee Oakes said Tuesday she will introduce legislation shortly to extend local government terms from three years to four. The change is to take effect in time for elections this fall. Oakes said the change comes after the Union of B.C. Municipalities supported it at their conven-
tion last September.

But she has The change would
mean the next municipal election after this fall would be held in 2018, on a schedule that follows provincial elections by one year. Oakes said there was no intent to avoid having both elections at the same time, and she is acting in response to the UBCM’s vote to go ahead. Asked if the legislation would include a “Rob Ford clause” to remove politicians who misbehave while in office, Oakes said the ministry is examining changes to the oath of office to “provide more tools” to deal with such situations.
Teachers to take strike vote Tom Fletcher Black Press
B.C. teachers will vote on another mandate to strike March 4-6, B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker said Tuesday. “Unreasonable proposals” from the province’s negotiating team include wage increases lower than what other public sector unions have received, and a continued refusal to put class size and special needs support limits back into the contract, Iker told a news conference in Vancouver. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said wage negotiations “have to start somewhere” and after a year of bargaining, the BCTF has yet to present a wage demand. He declined to provide specifics of the government offer, but said classroom conditions are on the negoti-
ating table. “Clearly we’re at the table with class size and composition,” Fassbender said. “Our negotiators presented a package of proposals. We are still waiting to see the full proposal, including the wages, from the BCTF.” Iker confirmed the union has not yet made a wage proposal, after a year of negotiations to replace a contract that expired in June 2013. The union described the government’s offer as a 0.5 per cent increase on ratification, not retroactive to the past year, making three years with no increase. “The proposal is followed by another zero for 2014-15 school year and then various ones and point fives over the next four years,” the BCTF said in a statement. Iker said any strike action would be phased in, and would not im-
mediately include forcing teachers to stop extra-curricular volunteer work, withholding report cards or walking off the job. Peter Cameron, appointed last year as chief negotiator for B.C.’s 60 school boards, said Tuesday he is surprised the union is going to a strike vote without tabling its complete position. There have been hints at the bargaining table that the BCTF has an “extreme” wage demand, he said. Cameron said the BCTF has characterized the public school system as being in “free fall,” when in fact completion rates have improved over the 12 years when class size and support have been in dispute. “The graduation rate for special needs kids, for aboriginal kids, has gone up dramatically since 2001,” Cameron said.

Opinion
Published at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press
Spreading awareness When something subversive yet important is co-opted and adopted by almost everyone, does it still have meaning? Does it still have value? That’s the question that can be asked now that Pink Shirt Day (yesterday) has taken hold across North America. In the last seven years, Pink Shirt Day has grown from a spontaneous and risky act of protest by a couple of students in a Nova Scotia high school to an international campaign that has inspired many. It has spurred political action, spread awareness that bullying can be challenged with education and understanding, and generated thousands of dollars for anti-bullying programs. Millions now don pink T-shirts at their schools and workplaces to let people know they are against bullying. But when has anyone ever been for bullying? Bullying is an insidious cancer that has long existed in the human race. It is a kind of currency of exchange between powerful people and vulnerable challengers. It goes on behind closed doors, in back alleys and on the Internet, but also out in the open in workplaces and classrooms. It also must be recognized that for kids, bullying is nuanced behaviour stemming from deep-seated psychological issues, requiring sensitivity, not labelling. Pink Shirt Day has undoubtedly been valuable in getting us to face up to the truth that society has long sanctioned bullying behaviour — rewarded it even, enabling bullies to become powerful people in the workplace, the executive suite and any place that individuals come together to collaborate and work. But as a catalyst for change, has Pink Shirt Day run its course now that it is as ubiquitous as Santa Claus? Does the colour pink on everything from cars to cupcakes really help kids tormented by online trolls or workers cowed by bullying colleagues? Spending money for programs to change behaviour and attitudes is a good thing. But it may be time for another subversive act of protest, something that kids themselves come up with that has nothing to do with adults and their agendas. - Black Press
Grizzly hunt isn’t going away B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher A little-noticed protest tent sprouted up on the rain-soaked B.C. legislature grounds earlier this month. Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver spoke, asking whether B.C. residents would tolerate trophy hunting of killer whales. That would be a federal matter, but the point is vividly made about the onset of B.C.’s traditional spring grizzly bear hunt. It’s bigger this year, with Kootenay and Chilcotin wildlife management regions reopened after closures were enacted to preserve grizzly populations. In all, more than 1,000 grizzly bears are up for grabs. As with limited-entry hunts for deer and other animals, only
about a third of those hunts are successful in an average year. The rally was sponsored by the Coastal First Nations Great Bear Initiative, the partnership with U.S.-directed environment groups Sierra Club, Greenpeace and ForestEthics that has become so influential in B.C. affairs. It produced a survey showing that 88 per cent of B.C. residents oppose trophy hunting, and its California experts calculate a 10-fold increase in value when bear hunting gives way to bear watching. The Raincoast Conservation Society has bought up half a dozen guiding territories on the remote B.C. coast. Combined with government restrictions, more than half the coast is now off limits to bear hunting. Naturally, activists want the whole province shut down. Wildlife management is the responsibility of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Min-

ister Steve Thomson. He’s heard plenty from all sides and he maintains that bear watching and bear hunting will continue to coexist in B.C. Thomson has just introduced legislation to permit hunting guide territories to be operated by corporations as well as individuals. This is a long-sought change, allowing First Nations companies and others access to bank loans to expand the industry. Non-resident hunters are required to hire a licensed guide-outfitter. Resident hunters pay $32 for a one-year hunting licence and $80 for a grizzly bear tag. Non-Canadians pay $180 for the licence and $1,030 for a chance at a grizzly. Hunting in general is making a comeback in B.C. Ministry data show hunting licenses had declined to 85,633 in 2006, but recovered to reach 97,828 by 2013. Thomson credits the work of the
Standard
B.C. Wildlife Federation, which runs hunter training courses. Another program, Becoming an Outdoor Woman, has helped revive hunting and camping as a family activity, he said. Growing up hunting in northeastern B.C., I was taught not to shoot anything I’m not prepared to eat. I also remember the struggles to protect caribou and other endangered prey species that at one time had B.C. biologists resorting to shooting wolves from helicopters. The reopening of grizzly bear territories is marketed to urban residents as a horrible crime against nature. In fact, it’s a sign of increasing population. Problems in B.C. wildlife these days include the fragile mountain caribou herds of the Kootenays, which have been subject to intensive management including relocation of animals. The ministry has also begun a

five-year study of declining moose populations across a vast area of the Interior subject to salvage logging in the wake of the pine beetle epidemic. Vancouver media recently highlighted a grizzly hunt by NHL journeyman Clayton Stoner. Typically, U.S. enviros promoted the deceased bear by name, “Cheeky,” and photos showed its carcass stripped to the skeleton by scavengers after Stoner left with the hide, paws and head.

Family values and reservation life Over the last 20 years, I’ve seen changes living on and off reserve. When things are run properly and honestly at any business level, positive things usually happen for the whole community. There are a number of First Nation communities that are doing very well for themselves without corruption. When you run a business on a reserve, the whole membership is usually involved, and people are working hard earning their own money and don’t have to ask for handouts to pay their bills. Family’s are looked after, especially Elders. This is not so in all First Nation communities. I spoke with the housing manager at the Department of Aboriginal Affairs about two weeks ago and asked about funding for housing on reserve. She told me that I would have to go through our band office to fill out the necessary
paperwork to get renovations done to my home. I told her it’s pretty hard to do when your own band office administration won’t even speak to you or have anything to do with you because you hold a Certificate of Possession to the property you have. She also said that they don’t get involved in band affairs, but in the same breath they give funding to operate on reserves. My own mother who is still Chief of our community and is a band member and Canadian citizen can’t even get funding that you, the taxpayer, provide these reserves to get a new furnace to keep warm. And she just turned 84. For the record, there has to be an election on our small reserve for anything to be legal and that is yet to happen. I want the government of Canada to understand one thing. When you start poisoning these small communi-
ties with all your big dollars and can’t be accountable for what happens to families, and especially the elderly in these communities, it’s time for you to step down and put someone in your position with a backbone. I’m upset not only at our so-called administration on our reserve but the government for not being accountable for the dollars they’re giving out to just be spent foolishly. We have a new band office that cost you, the taxpayers, $1.4 million. The government of Canada will give our administration your tax dollars to go out and rent a room at a hotel to hold a meeting for only a few band members, but at the same time there’s a house without heat and another that has not been completed in construction in the last 30 years. I would join forces with the taxpayer

to stop this government in spending your tax dollars foolishly on these reserves and start being accountable for what damage they have already done. I believe we have to put people in there that will stand up for what’s right. What ever happened to “right is right” and “wrong is wrong?” I’m tired of being ignored and I won’t be silenced until these issues are dealt with. People that have paid their whole life shouldn’t have to ask for a little help, and be ignored as if they are disposable. This is Canada and everyone has rights. You as the taxpayer have rights also to find out more about what goes on with your hard-earned dollars. I wasn’t put on Earth to be liked, but to be honest and live the life the Creator gave me. So please people, it’s time! Don’t be silent. Todd Chapman Skawahlook First Nation

Crown corporation bonuses lead to fewer services B.C. residents have become slaves to Crown corporations, which pay excessively high salaries and award millions of dollars in bonuses to employees. All of these are funded by taxpayers. Shouldn’t our tax dollars be used for expenditures in which all B.C. residents benefit? In particular, the Port Mann bridge and Highway 1 upgrade, which have both been lumped into the bridge tolls,
could be paid for from general revenue — just as the Sea to Sky Highway and Alex Fraser Bridge have been. Tolls on the Port Mann are creating a hardship for those living south of the Fraser River, as they are carrying the burden of payment for muchneeded improvements to B.C. highway infrastructure. Rather than putting the burden on a few motorists, why not include all who file in-
come tax returns in this province? A small percentage of tax would pay for highway and bridge improvements, and allow the elimination of TReO, the agency which collects the tolls and is an unnecessary bureaucracy. Bonuses to Crown corporation employees are simply overcharged premiums, and deny benefits to clients. This money does not belong to these employees. Bo-
nuses should be eliminated, and the exorbitant salaries of some of those employed by Crown corporations need to be reduced. Bonuses should not be awarded for doing one’s job, let alone mismanaging and incurring debt. In the case of TransLink, 141 employees collected six-figure salaries in 2012. BC Ferries paid out big bonuses to senior executives. This is while the corporation
announced that ridership is at a 21-year low. ICBC pays its executives high salaries and bonuses, and also pays out bonuses to employees. Yet ICBC consistently blames rising third-party liability claims for rising insurance rates. As long as ICBC pays its employees bonuses, employees will continue to put their own financial interests above those of claimants. In
2012, ICBC unionized workers received average bonuses of $1,645, while its 852 managers received an average of $13,800 each. WorkSafe BC is also paying its employees bonuses. In 2011, it realized a saving of $12.8 million, of which $3.2 million was distributed to unionized employees. The obvious conclusion is that claims are denied so that employees and executives can get big-

Pot prohibition a gateway policy to use of hard drugs Regarding Tom Fletcher’s Feb. 13 column (Prescription pot pretense ending), not only should medical marijuana be made available to patients in need, but adult recreational use should be regulated too. Drug policies modeled after alcohol prohibition have given rise to a youth-
oriented black market. Illegal drug dealers don’t ID for age. So much for protecting the children. Throwing more money at the problem is no solution. Attempts to limit the supply of illegal drugs while demand remains constant only increase the profitability of drug trafficking.

Opposition politicians called out Premier Christy Clark last Thursday on her assurances that the province’s budget would not be balanced by asking more from taxpayers. “Look, it’s the premier herself who yesterday said she would not be going out to taxpayers and asking them for more money,” NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth told the legislature. He estimated fee increases of $900 a year for thousands of B.C. families, including a sixth consecutive increase in Medical Services Plan fees. “They’re going to be paying more for MSP. They’re going to pay more for hydro. They’re going to pay more for ferry trips,” Farnworth said. “They’re going to pay more for car insurance, and if they live south of the Fraser, they’re

definitely going to be paying more in tolls [on the Port Mann bridge].” Finance Minister Mike de Jong replied that the four per cent increase in MSP fees is the latest of a series signalled in the last three B.C. budgets. Premiums, many paid by employers, account for 12 per cent of a health care budget that has grown from $8 billion to $17 billion since 2001, de Jong said. MSP premiums increase by up to $5.50 a month for families earning more than $30,000 a year, effective with the start of a new fiscal year April 1. On the same date, a nine per cent increase in BC Hydro rates takes effect, adding $8 a month to the average residential electricity bill. De Jong cited assistance for families in the 2014-15 budget, including a $1,200 payment into a Registered Education
Savings Plan for children born in 2007 or later. A tax credit of up to $55 a month for children under age six is to take effect in 2015. The biggest priority for new program spending in this week’s budget is an extra $243 million over three years for Community Living B.C. for services to developmentally disabled adults. Another $15 million is allocate to the Ministry of Children and Family Development for special needs children. An extra $15 million over three years is directed to RCMP policing costs and $6 million is allocated for legal aid services. The budget also directs $29 million to support development of a liquefied natural gas industry in B.C., including attracting investment and providing permits and environmental protection.

hard-earned money, they should be confident that they are being treated fairly in a competitive marketplace,� he said in the budget speech. Ottawa reduced tariffs on baby clothes and some sports equipment last year, but is still assessing whether retailers actually passed those savings along to customers. Flaherty also pledged $1.5 billion over 10 years for post-secondary research and innovation in areas that create longterm economic growth. Job training continued to be a major theme, as the Tories seek ways to fix the skills mismatch between what the unemployed can do and what employers need. Flaherty said the contentious $300-million-ayear Canada Job Grant program will roll out April 1, regardless of whether provinces and territories agree to participate.
In law-and-order policy measures, the government signalled it will regulate the use of Bitcoin virtual currency to thwart its criminal use for money laundering or financing terrorism. It also pledged to create a DNA-based missing persons index. Savings in the budget are to largely come from charging federal retirees more for health benefits and through a freeze on departmental spending. Canadian Taxpayers Federation director Greg Thomas said this year’s budget may turn out to be balanced already since Flaherty inserted a $3-billion “revenue adjustment for risk� provision that gives padding that may not be used. He noted Ottawa is forecasting $30 billion in cumulative surpluses over the next five years, setting the stage for promised tax cuts starting next year.

A new search-andrecue tax credit honouring “quiet heroes� like revered North Shore rescue leader Tim Jones who died last month is among the measures unveiled by the federal government as part of the 2014 budget. Eligible ground, air and marine search-andrescue volunteers will be able to claim a 15 per cent non-refundable credit on up to $3,000 if they perform at least 200 hours of service a year. It’s largely a stand-pat budget that modestly shrinks overall federal spending, records a $2.9-billion deficit this year and sets up a projected $6.4-billion surplus in 2015 as the Conservatives seek reelection. Federal finance minister Jim Flaherty conceded some may see the budget as “boring� but added he takes that as a compliment. There are no notable tax cuts, but the tobacco tax is going up, adding $4 to the price of a carton of cigarettes or about
40 cents to a $10 pack. That will generate $685 million extra per year, while more than $90 million over five years will help the RCMP battle tobacco smuggling. The Harper government released few details in the budget on what it will do next on two fronts of concern to consumers – its past promises to inject competition into the mobile phone market and to reduce the temptation of cross-border shopping. Flaherty said Ottawa will temporarily cap domestic wireless roaming rates until there’s a decision by regulators on further rules to protect customers. He also pledged legislation to address the price gap between cheaper consumer products in the U.S. and what Canadians pay at home. How that will work is unclear, but the minister told reporters the Competition Bureau would be empowered to investigate and punish unjustifiable price discrimination. “When Canadian families spend their

Sports Basketball season is over for Hope Mustangs Barry Stewart Hope Standard
A basketball free throw is about the same as a club-length putt in golf: a virtual ‘gimme,’ if you’ve got the mechanics all lined up… but there’s still room for failure if you’ve got a case of the yips. The Hope Secondary senior Mustang girls had a yips outbreak in their playoff game against the Agassiz Chieftans, in Agassiz last Thursday. They went three for 16 chances at the foul line — and the 13 missed points could have been enough to turn the tables on the Chieftains, who had beaten Hope in two close games in single-A league play this year. “You’ve got to sink your free throws,” said coach Jeff Kuhn on Tuesday. “There’s a reason they call them free. We’re usually in the 50 to 60 per cent range on our foul shots — and Azalia [John] is usually shooting 70 to 80 per cent and I think she went two for 10.” As well, when the foul shots aren’t going your way, the opposition sees no reason to change their style of play… other than the fear of getting fouled out, said Kuhn. “They’re not risking anything by putting you on the line.” Hope got up 4-2 early in the game and was only six points behind in the third quarter but they couldn’t regain the lead, going down 40-29. “They were running a press on us and we beat it most times,” said Kuhn, “but even when you beat their press, it throws you off your rhythm and makes it so you can’t run your usual offence. “We’ve got a half court trap that we like to run and it was working well — but we had to stop using it because of foul trouble,” explained Kuhn, the senior pastor at Grace Baptist Church. Just days after the end of the season, coach Kuhn is already looking ahead to the next campaign. “Next year’s team will be a little faster,” he said. “We’ve got some players who are good at anticipating passes, so I hope to run a trap and a full court press and run it all game. We’ll have to get in shape, though.” The Hope-Agassiz rivalry is bound to be contested for the next few years at least, figured Kuhn. “We’re losing four players and Agassiz is only losing two — and they aren’t starters. “They’ve also got a P.E. class for boys and girls that is all-basketball throughout the year,” added Kuhn. “I’d like to see that in Hope, too, as there’s only so much you can do as a team in practice. There’s so much more to learn about the game.” Kuhn is also planting the seeds of basketball in the younger grades, with the Steve Nash Youth Basketball Program that will start on March 31. The program is for grades 4 through 7, with a registration cut-off at 60. “I really think we’ll be seeing a lot stronger skills in high school ball in the coming years because of the Steve Nash program,” said Kuhn. Before that happens: parents and players have to get on board and get registered. Kuhn said he is seeing encouraging numbers already. The full $60 fee covers 16 sessions, including nine practices and seven games. Players also get a Steve Nash reversible jersey, a drawstring bag, a basketball, a Basketball BC membership card and liability insurance coverage. Local donations have made it possible for Kuhn to offer help on registration costs, to those who need it. You just have to ask. Registration will close on March 14. People can pick up and drop off registration forms/payment at Silver Creek Elementary, CE Barry Middle School, or Coquihalla Elementary. They can also download registration forms from the Facebook page: www. facebook.com/groups/HopeSNYB/ Kuhn can be reached at 604-869-1349, or by e-mail at jeff@gbchope.com.
