The rain on Tuesday didn’t deter Hope Communities in Bloom volunteers Marg Emory (left), Victor Smith, and John and Beverly (not pictured) Mason from weeding and trimming the berm near the junction of Highway 1 and Old Hope Princeton Way on Tuesday. The group has been out this week getting the downtown area ready for spring planting.

Kite system testing in local waters Jessica Peters Black Press

In the mid-1700s, Benjamin Franklin famously used kites to advance science, proving that lightning was indeed an electrical force.

Now, kites are being used to prove that power doesn’t have to be pulled from the ground, and they don’t have to rely on unstable wind. Instead, power is being harnessed from the motion of fast running water. A Vancouver-based clean technology startup company is developing a sustainable, consistent device that works

just under the water surface, spinning and creating enough power to run 30 homes.

And they’re testing it in the Fraser River, near Laidlaw.

The HydroKite is a hydrokinetic device that resembles an airplane on its side. Created by HydroRun Technologies over the last two years, it’s making waves in the clean energy field. It was recently featured in an article in the Vancouver Sun and was popular at the Globe 2014 trade show in March.

“We need to find better ways to produce power,” said Joel Atwater,

founder of HydroRun. “It has to be green going forward, for the environment but also economically.”

There are three classifications of hydrokinetic power, he said.

The first is large hydro, which is what most of the province is powered by through BC Hydro and other large providers. Large hydro is created by flooding valleys to create a reservoir.

Then there are run of river projects, such as those in the waterways at the north end of Harrison Lake, near Port Douglas. While generally promoted as greener alternatives to hydro dam projects, they change the

watercourse as water flows through a power house.

Finally, there are hyperkinetic projects. These, like the HydroKite, sit in the water to produce power. Up until this point, Atwater said, debris in the river has made things difficult and there have been no commercial use. But that’s changing, and quickly.

Over the next few months, Atwater and his team will be testing the HydroKite. They chose this end of the Fraser River after searching for suitable launch and test sites.

Volunteers assist tax returns

Community volunteers are available to assist residents with low or modest incomes with the preparation of tax returns.

Each year, through its Community Volunteer Income Tax Program, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) links with community organizations to train volunteers to complete basic tax returns. The community organizations hold tax-preparation

clinics where the volunteers donate their time to help people with simple tax filing situations complete their income tax and benefit returns, free of charge. In Hope, CRA has partnered with Hope Community Services.

“We encourage people who need help with their tax returns to use the volunteer program,” said Zubie Vuurens, CRA’s regional community volunteer income tax

program coordinator. “The service is free and it’s important to file a tax return to make sure you receive all the government benefits and credits you’re entitled to.”

Last year, in B.C. and the Yukon, 2,513 volunteers helped prepare 99,067 income tax returns.

Neighbour helps extinguish fire one side and a residence on the other.

“Quick action by the neighbours with a garden hose prevented any fire extension and the fire was out upon arrival of the fire department,” said fire chief Tom DeSorcy.

“We simply mopped it up and

made sure it was indeed extinguished.”

DeSorcy reminds residents that no matter the conditions, cedar hedging can be flammable as hedges are often very dry on the inside.

Outdoor burning of yard and garden waste is not per-

mitted in the District of Hope.

It is not only dangerous, but burning of wet and green yard waste fills the air with needless smoke. If a backyard fire gets out of control and results in a fire department response, the property owner could also be charged with the cost.

“Ultimately it will be left by itself,” Atwater said. “What’s unique about this is its not a turbine that sits in the river and acts as an obstruction.”

The HydroKite is outfitted with radar, sonar and something called machine vision, which is a way for computers to interpret what a camera is seeing. This is all designed to avoid debris.

“The kite monitors the areas it operates in,” Atwater said.

“When river users come near, it changes its behavior to be a good neighbour.”

The kite is anchored in the river, and as the name suggests is on a string. It sweeps back and forth, generating lift, and that lift is used to generate electricity.

“We see these being put in rivers all over the country,” Atwater said. “In Canada, we create five times our (energy) needs.”

The really neat component to this invention is that it puts power into the hands of those connected to it. Atwater explained that homeowners connected to HydroKite power would be collecting energy that would “roll back” their smart meter. Because of the constant movement of the river, homes would collect more power than they used, potentially. In those cases, instead of receiving a bill from BC Hydro, homeowners would receive a cheque.

“We want to export the power and export the technology,” Atwater said. “We’re a B.C. company, and we’re committed to

building them here.”

BC Hydro is moving away from a generation of power, he added. “What they care about is providing power to B.C., with as few headaches as possible. What they are resistant to is solar and wind, because they are intermittent. Utilities don’t want power to turn on and off, they need consistent base load power, that’s always on day and night.”

But is it safe for the fish?

Atwater, who studied mechanical engineering and naval architecture before becoming an entrepreneur, believes it is.

“It is absolutely benign to fish

because of two reasons,” he said.

“Fish want to be at the bottom and the sides of the river, where the flow is the lowest. They want to be in the slowest flow, we want to be in the fastest.”

But even fish that end up in the path of the HydroKite should be safeguarded, he added.

“The conventional turbine does kill fish, but it’s not the blades of the turbine hitting the fish that kills the fish,” he said, adding that they’re very good avoiding objects. It’s the water pressure changes as the fish go through the turbine that kills

them, he said, when their swim bladders explode.

“We don’t get that pressure gradient because of the shape of the kite. They keep swimming merrily on their way,” he said, and they’ve had DFO officials review their work.

A single device would power 30 homes. One kilometer of space for HydroKites would produce one megawatt of electricity, enough to power 800 homes.

He underlined the fact that it’s still in development, but he’s confident that kites are the power source of the future.

The National Energy Board will let more than three quarters of the 2,100 individuals and organizations that applied participate to some degree in upcoming hearings into the proposed twinning of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain oil pipeline.

But critics say most participants will be limited to a written statement and denied the chance to speak directly to the board when oral hearings begin in early 2015.

Several municipalities are among the 400 applicants granted intervenor status.

The other 1,250 approved by the NEB have only commenter status, which is limited to a written statement. Another 450 were excluded altogether. “A lot of people’s applications were downgraded,� said Burnaby-Douglas NDP MP Kennedy Stewart. “They’re cutting people

The Conservative federal government altered the NEB hearing process after the lengthy Northern Gateway pipeline hearings, eliminating the option for commenters to speak and requiring applicants to demonstrate they’re directly impacted by the project or hold relevant expertise. “It’s a sad day for democracy in Canada, when nearly a thousand people who stepped up to take part in a complex regulatory process to have their say about a project of national significance are shut out of the hearings,� said Christianne Wilhelmson of the Georgia Strait Alliance, which was granted intervenor status.

The $5.4-billion project would twin the 60-year-old oil pipeline that runs from northern Alberta to Burnaby, nearly tripling capacity to 890,000 barrels per day, and resulting in a five-fold jump in the number of oil tankers passing through Vancouver harbour.

Off limits are discussions about the impacts of exploiting Alberta’s oil sands as well as climate change impacts from eventually burning the oil.

The full oral hearings begin next January, but aboriginal traditional evidence will first be heard this August and September.

The NEB also on Wednesday declared Kinder Morgan’s pipe-

line expansion application to be complete.

Stewart called that “a joke� because the route is not finalized and the existence of alternate corridor options in key areas has sowed public confusion over where the pipeline will ultimately go.

He predicts many people who thought they weren’t affected will ultimately discover the pipeline goes near their homes, possibly resulting in expropriation.

A report by the NEB on the project, along with recommendations to the government, is required by July of 2015.

A final decision is up to the federal cabinet but the provincial government maintains the project will also be subject to its five conditions for new heavy oil pipelines.

B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak said the province’s aim is to ensure the highest environmental protection if the project proceeds and that B.C. is protected from financial and environmental risk. “We will not prejudge the project,� Polak said, adding the province has been reviewing Kinder Morgan’s application and will submit requests for further information. “We will actively represent the interests of the people of B.C.�

New uses for driver’s licence ahead

Tom Fletcher Black Press

With one million of its new high-tech drivers’ licences in use, the B.C. government is preparing to use them for access to medical records, applying for student loans and a range of other uses.

The new driver’s licence was introduced a year ago, with a digital chip that replaces the existing medical CareCard system.

The health ministry estimated that there were more than nine million CareCards in circulation, about twice as many as there are residents of B.C. Andrew Wilkinson, minister of technology, innovation and citizens’ services, released results of a public consultation on the new cards this week. With digital security similar to bank cards, he said the public appears prepared to use them to apply for prescription renewals, birth, death and marriage certificates, voter registration and criminal records checks.

They are being issued as current drivers’ licences expire, and the new services could be available by the end of 2015. Proof of identity for medical care may also be used for online booking of medical appointments.

“First of all we need to make sure that only people who are entitled to health care services in British Columbia are getting them, and secondly we have to make sure that we have the right person, the right John Smith who shows up in the emergency room after an accident and can’t speak for himself,� Wilkinson said. “With the services card

they’ll have a unique identifier that connects them with the proper medical records and establishes that they’re entitled to care.�

The cards are issued to replace the current driver’s licences, for the same $75 fee. For people who don’t drive, a similar card with only medical identity is available at no charge.

Opinion

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

Party direction doubted Mike Harcourt was probably too nice a guy to become premier of B.C., especially as the first leader of the NDP to win power after the fondly-remembered (by NDPers, at least) Dave Barrett government of 1972-1975. The Barrett government was the first NDP government ever to take power in B.C., after being in opposition as the CCF and NDP for almost 40 years.

Harcourt led the party back to power after 16 years in the wilderness. He had earlier served as mayor of Vancouver. He styled himself “Moderate Mike,” a fairly accurate label, as he tended to try and make as many people happy as possible, and not bash business quite as much as some of his colleagues were prone to do.

However, he fell victim to the endless plotting that seems to be an integral part of the NDP’s DNA. Barrett had taken over after Tom Berger failed to win power in 1969, in an election the NDP were sure they could win. Barrett was then knifed by labour allies in his last year in power.

Harcourt was under pressure over the Nanaimo Commonwealth Holding Society, an NDP-controlled organization involved in many questionable financial moves. He had nothing to do with it, but the fact that it came out on his watch caused some of his cabinet, notably Moe Sihota, Joan Smallwood and Glen Clark, to go after him.

Despite the shoddy way he was treated, he remained a member of the NDP and campaigned frequently for the party. In January, he decided not to renew his membership, a fact made known earlier this week. It received a lot of media attention, not surprisingly, given the fact that he endorsed Adrian Dix’s campaign less than a year ago.

Harcourt said the Kinder Morgan flip-flop, attack on Carole James’ leadership (do we detect a pattern here?) and NDP fight against the carbon tax in 2009 caused him to not bother paying his dues this year.

Those are reasonable doubts, and his action will cause many within the NDP to ponder just where their party is headed, as it undergoes its second leadership campaign in three years.

Digital wave is just beginning B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher Have you got one of the new B.C. driver’s licences yet?

By now most drivers have the one with the unsmiling black and white mug shot, to conform to passport standards so it could be used for border identification with the magnetic swipe strip on the back.

About one million of us now have the newest version, with a credit-card style digital chip that proves your residence and eligibility for our famously “free” medical care.

The motor vehicle office started issuing them about a year ago, as five-year licences expire. They re-

place the old “CareCard” that has no expiry date. Over the years there were more than nine million CareCards issued, twice the population of B.C., as people held onto their access to our defenseless, overworked medical system from wherever they moved to.

Positive identification is only the start for this card. Each will be assigned a password that gives access to online medical records, so when patients show up at an ER, their eligibility is confirmed and any previous conditions or medications are accurately matched.

(Note that medical information is not stored on the card, just an access code that goes with the password.)

Patients will be able to call up their own files at home, book medical appointments and even renew prescriptions, which is where the efficiency comes in. In-

person visits for routine prescription renewals are a cash cow for today’s doctors, generating guaranteed billings but often little or no health benefit.

Most people will still think of it as a driver’s licence, but it’s intended as an all-purpose government ID. If you don’t drive, you are spared the $75 licence renewal fee, and within a couple of years the cards will start providing online access to a wide range of government services.

Andrew Wilkinson, minister of technology, innovation and citizens’ services, says a public consultation has shown most people are comfortable using a system they already trust for their banking.

By the end of 2015, Wilkinson says about two million people will have the new cards, roughly half of B.C.’s population. Application

forms converted to online access will include student loans, birth, death and marriage certificates, voter registration and even criminal record checks.

All this will be costly to set up, but the savings from having customers do their own data entry are well known, as any banker or supermarket owner can tell you.

“You can understand that if you’re in the vital statistics office and this can all be done from places like Telegraph Creek and Horsefly remotely, that actually saves them a lot of money,” Wilkinson said.

“There will be conversion of existing services where you have to go into an office and wait around and fill out forms. Those will be converted to online services.”

It also means a decline in the number of government office jobs, and the potential for further outsourcing of services, as we have

Some older readers won’t be thrilled to hear about this. They don’t want a “smart phone,” just a phone. But they will also see their great-grandchildren becoming adept with tablet computers before they can even speak. Seniors will get the hang of it pretty quickly, and their lives will become easier.

Letters Fair Elections Act is unconstitutional

Hope Standard Thursday, April 10, 2014 A7

All Canadians are constitutionally guaranteed the right to vote.

Yet again this Conservative government is challenging one of the basic rights of Canadians.

The more one ponders the Orwellian-sounding “Fair Elections Act,” the more one has to come to conclusion that this legislation has more to do with gaming the system and providing the Harper Conservatives with more political advantages, than it does with fairer elections.

Indeed, virtually every change, be it upping contribution limits, neutering the Chief Electoral Officer, or even doing away with vouching, is good for the Conservatives and

not so good for the opposition parties… or for democracy in general.

Canada’s election challenge is to increase citizen participation by getting more people out to vote, rather than eliminating tools such as the vouching system and the voter information card.

Canada’s election crisis is related to low voter turnout and uncertainty surrounding the dirty tricks used by political operatives in the last federal election… it’s not fraud by individual voters… it’s not vouching as suggested by this government.

The 120,000 people who voted in the last election did so by vouching were mostly seniors, students and

First Nation Canadians.

Canadians need to ask themselves: Will the number of cases of fraud prevented actually be greater than the number of people prevented from voting?

This bill has been slammed by academics in Canada and by a group of international election law experts from around the world weighing in at how bad this would be for Canada, for Canadians, for emerging democracies that look up to Canada.

It again further erodes the way the world looks at us.

Changes in the electoral law should be consensual, not pushed through parliament by the governing party acting alone. Democracy

and elections do not belong to any one party. Organizing them is not the responsibility of the government of the day.

The Conservatives have already used their majority to defeat amendments made and supported by all opposition parties to the Fair Elections Act by a vote of 149131…not one Tory MP, including Mark Strahl saw fit to break ranks, despite mounting public opposition to this bill.

This bill should be challenged at every level. Voting is your Canadian right, limiting the ways in which you can vote is simply unconstitutional.

Spring luncheon raises $2,000 The Auxiliary to Fraser Canyon Hospital and Fraser Hope Lodge had an amazing Spring Event Luncheon at the Eagles Hall on April 5.

Without our dedicated volunteers in our community of Hope, we would not be able to raise money for our hospital.

We raised $2,000, selling flowers, baked goods and raffle tickets.

The money will go towards a bladder scanner for our hospital and a sit to stand equipment for the lodge.

Our raffle ticket winners were: first prize - Val Howard, second prize - Ray Hehn, and third prize - Peter Kennedy.

Almost 100 people attended our luncheon and it was enjoyed by friends and family.

The people of Hope are amaz-

ing. This week is Volunteer Week.

If you ever have spare time please join our auxiliary, you will find it very rewarding.

Our website is: frasercanyonhospitalandfraserhopelodge.com Our purpose is to bring comfort and care to all in the hospital and lodge.

Grateful for cancer clinic services The Abbotsford Regional Hospital cancer clinic, open since 2008, can be proud of their overall patient care and treatment programming.

Since undergoing cancer treatments 15 years ago, and now once more, I found it remarkable that the present staff members treat patients like a person, not like just a number. Learning the steps one must go through in cancer treatments can be a trying experience for new pa-

tients. The added cancer treatment counselling services are also an incredibly helpful initiative in this time of need.

Mike Farnworth drops out and endorses John Horgan Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. NDP caucus lined up behind leadership contender John Horgan Tuesday, including his only rival for the job, Mike Farnworth. “Yes, today marks the end of my campaign for B.C. NDP leader,� Farnworth said at a news conference in Victoria Tuesday. “But more importantly, it begins our campaign to elect a B.C. NDP government in 2017, with John Horgan as premier.�

Horgan thanked Farnworth for “putting aside his leadership campaign to create a unity candidate, a unity committee, to go forward and beat the Liberals in 2017.�

Horgan said he will continue to campaign for the leadership until May 1, the deadline for nominations to lead the party. If that deadline passes with no new candidates, Horgan expects to be acclaimed.

Farnworth’s campaign has suffered two setbacks in recent days, the latest being Horgan’s increased lead in endorsements.

Horgan’s latest supporters are party members around Farnworth’s Port Coquitlam home turf, including Coquitlam-Maillardville MLA Selina Robinson, NDP MP Fin Donnelly and former area MLAs Dawn Black and Joe Trasolini.

Farnworth’s only public endorsers from the B.C. NDP caucus were Saanich South MLA Lana Popham and Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson, while Horgan had 15 MLAs publicly supporting him.

Farnworth also bore the brunt

of former premier Mike Harcourt’s decision last week to quit the NDP. Harcourt endorsed Farnworth in the 2011 NDP leadership where Farnworth finished second to Adrian Dix. Another key endorsement for Horgan came from the B.C. executive of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents 85,000 municipal workers in the province. The board led by CUPE B.C. president Mark Hancock, formerly president of the Port Coquitlam local, was among those calling for Horgan to run.

After Dix announced he would step down this fall, Horgan initially said he would not seek the leadership, making way for younger contenders. But those

contenders, including new MLAs elected in 2013, ruled themselves out one after another.

The party has a deadline of May 1 for candidates to be nominated for the leadership, which includes payment of $25,000 to go towards staging of leadership debates around the province. Candidates have until June 26 to sign up new party members, with a provincewide vote scheduled to be completed Sept. 28.

Both the B.C. NDP and B.C. Liberals finished 2013 in debt after the election last May. The B.C. Liberals raised $14 million and ended the year $2.2 million in debt, while the B.C. NDP raised $11.6 million and had a $3 million debt.

Community

Crime alters lives

This week is designated to recognize and support all those who have been victims of crime.

It’s a time to recognize the impact on victims and to look at how we as a community take care of our most vulnerable citizens.

On April 2, the government introduced new legislation to support the needs of victims in the form of a Victims Bill of Rights. This new legislation aims to strengthen the rights of victims and although there are elements of the legislation that may meet with mixed reviews it does put forward the needs of victims which are so often diminished within our criminal justice system.

In Canada’s current system, there are a few provisions that apply for victims of crime but they are generally not enforceable and increasingly there has been a need to provide victims with similar rights to information and participation in the process.

When a crime occurs, it can be one of the most frightening and devastating times of a person’s life. Crime and tragedy can strike any person at any time and it is often unexpected, unpredictable and sudden. Crime does not discriminate based on age, sex, B R I T I S H

race or economic status. Although the crimes may be vastly different the trauma suffered by victims is often very similar. The loss of a sense of security, fear of new places and strangers, injustice, isolation and indignity are all common feelings experienced by victims. How an individual copes depends largely on the nature of the violation and the meaning to the victim, the victim’s previous life experiences and circumstances and finally the type of help they receive after the event.

If you are the victim of a crime or a traumatic event (such as a suicide, accidental death, fatal motor vehicle accident etc) you are not alone. The Hope/Boston Bar RCMP Victim Services is available to assist you in this community. Each year, the program assists hundreds of people who have been victimized, have witnessed an offence or have suffered through a loss of their own. In 2013, they had 167 full service case files and over hundreds of general inquiries and short term service contacts. Anyone in the community can contact the office at 604-869-7770 if they or someone they know may need some information and support.

A victim’s voice Hope/Boston Bar RCMP Victim Services has provided an opportunity for some of the people they have assisted to share their experience and offer some insight into how the crime and the subsequent events have affected their life. The two stories profiled here are both related to sexual assaults involving children.

Victim No. 1: I sat in the small lobby of the RCMP detachment, surrounded by officers. My legs shook violently. I held them, trying to gain some semblance of physical composure.

I listened as the police described what came next: taking my daughter to a clinic with special doctors.

Doctors who would examine my two-year-old baby’s body. Examine her to see how bad the internal damage was.

Over the following days and weeks the emptiness in my life started to make sense. The frustrations in my marriage, the loneliness, became clear. I had been living with a monster – a devil in disguise.

I will never forget the words of truth as they came out of my innocent child’s mouth. I will never forget the death I felt; like a miscarriage of life. I hadn’t kept my baby safe.

It began like a dream. The kind you don’t ever want to end. He was handsome, charming and treated me like a queen. He wanted to join me in my adventures. He encouraged me.

But the good times dissipated as quickly as they had begun. Marriage wasn’t what I thought or hoped it would be. The encouragement turned into passive aggressive remarks: don’t wear make-up; don’t dress too nice; your friends have issues; homeschool the kids.

He worked diligently to push everyone away, making me think it was my idea. Eventually I believed him.

What does a victim of violence look like? The victim looks like me. Normal. No bruises. A nice family.

House. Dog. Cat. A victim of violence looks like an innocent child, unable to express their torment.

Did you know “one in three females and one in six males in Canada experience some form of sexual abuse before the age of 18 (University of Victoria Sexual Assault Centre)?” Did you know most children who experience sexual abuse do not show obvious indicators such as physical injuries, pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections? In contrast, many children never experience these. Did you know common symptoms of sexual abuse are signs of stress? Although most children show no signs of sexual abuse (Children and Family Services, CFS, 2010). Did you know “80 per cent of all child abusers are the father, foster father, stepfather or another relative or close family friend of the victim [and] 75 per cent of mothers are not aware of the incest in their family (Calgary Communities Against Sexual Abuse)?”

So what can you do about it?

Be aware. Trust your instincts. Don’t be afraid to uncover the truth. Truth will bring you and other victims freedom. I can tell you that there is light at the end of the tunnel. There are people and supports to help you get through the trauma and create a healthy, beautiful life for yourself.

If you know someone who is a victim, don’t make assumptions and never ask “How did you not know?”

Don’t gossip. They will tell you when they are ready. Don’t ask them what they need because they may not know. Observe and you will see what they need. Encourage them. Be patient. Bring them dinner. Do their laundry. Be silent with them. Educate yourself, so you can help: www.safekidsbc.ca/statistics.htm, www. calgarycasa.com, www.victimsofcrime.org, www.littlewarriors.ca Victim No. 2: My story begins when I was 10 and my stepfather chose to take advantage of my childhood innocence and vulnerability and sexually abuse me. At the time of the abuse I did not understand what was happening nor could I imagine the enormous consequences I would later face because someone I trusted and looked to for protection took advantage of me. As I was only a child, I was too scared to tell anyone what had happened and it wasn’t until 15 years later, two weeks after my wedding, that the crushing weight of my stepfather’s actions became too much for me to bear alone. It was finally time for me to tell someone and thus I unleashed a two-year long ordeal that would affect every aspect of mine and my family’s lives.

If I could go back to that fateful day that I disclosed my deepest darkest secret to my loved ones I would tell myself several things that I’ve learned through the last two years; some are positive and encouraging and others are the unfortunate cold hard reality of being a victim in the criminal justice system.

I would tell myself it will be scary to utter those words for the first time, even the second, third and fourth time, but it does eventually become easier to say “I was sexually abused.”

I would tell myself not to worry about what your husband, mom, sister, grandparents and even closest friends will think – they love you and will be there to support you.

I would tell myself it won’t be easy giving a statement to the police, that you have to give very graphic details of what exactly occurred and you won’t be able to remember every little detail –you’re only human.

I would say do your best and be as articulate and detailed as you can, take deep breaths and tell your story as you know it.

I would give myself a pep talk before the preliminary hearing, telling myself you are an honest person and you have done nothing wrong; you are just telling the truth. You are going to go in there and the defence counsel is going to try to make you feel like you are wrong, but you know better, you know this did happen to you. I would tell myself that I would have an “angel” in that courtroom; the victim services worker who was assigned to my case. She would be the friendly face that I could turn to for a quick smile of encouragement while facing some very difficult questions and ultimately she would make all the difference for me in my court experience and in supporting me before, during and after the preliminary hearing.

Lastly, I would tell myself that it will be exhausting, and to be strong because unfortunately in the criminal justice system the victim is, for lack of a better term, “re-victimized” over and over again. First, you give a statement to the police, then months later you may have to testify at a preliminary hearing where you will answer (in graphic detail) questions based on your statement. Finally, after another great length of time you may have to proceed to trial where you will do it all over again. No, it is not fun and yes, you will want to quit and tell them you just cannot go over this again. You will likely yell and scream, you will definitely cry, but you will get through it. You will be ok. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and this cannot last forever.

Luckily for me my case did not go all the way to trial and in November 2013 it was finally over and we had a conviction. Would I do it over again? Definitely. It wasn’t easy, I often wished I hadn’t come forward.

I needed a lot of support and there were enough tears to float noah’s ark but in the end the criminal justice system did serve its purpose.

It is not a perfect system by any means but in today’s twisted world it has the difficult task of sifting through the truths, the lies and the good the bad and the ugly. I am so thankful that there are such hardworking and dedicated individuals, from the police who took my statement to the crown counsel who represented me in court and to the invaluable victim services staff who offered their support and kind words.

Without these people and the countless others who work within the system and are there each day fighting for the victim, I know I would not have found the justice and closure I needed to finally find peace.

Track and field team prepares for new season Barry Stewart Hope Standard

It’s Monday after school and the Hope Secondary field is hopping with activity, bubbling with the infectious enthusiasm that is at its peak on a sunny spring afternoon.

While Jeremy Smith works the senior girls’ soccer team through a few hours of drills on the soccer pitch, members of the track and field team toil around the periphery, launching javelins into safe areas and pole-vaulting at the long jump pit.

Now in his seventh year as track and field coach, Jason Fisher has a busy few hours, travelling between the different groups. Fisher only has two eyes and the students have learned to wait their turn, while working on their own.

Fisher heads over to the pole vault pit and watches Jeremiah Steberl go through a few jumps in the makeshift pit. Lacking standards, a crossbar or even a box to plant the pole in, Steberl is making-do with a pole and a high jump mat, working on his approach, his plant and his swing up.

On this day, it’s looking like Steberl could clear 2.5 meters… but it sure would be nice to have a hard target. He’ll get his chance, at meets down the valley and in Kamloops and Victoria in the coming months.

From the pit, Fisher heads over to the east parking lot, where students are working on their javelin skills. He has Mina Kim shadow him in a slow-mo approach to the launch line, showing how to generate power and speed through proper foot work, then he stands back and critiques a series of students as they go through their throws.

Over by the outdoor courtyard, Tansie Pauls awaits her turn for the coach’s advice on her footwork for the discus. She uses a length of plumbing pipe, held between her hands and over her shoulder blades, to maintain arm-position for the mock throw. Fisher takes the pipe and shows the way to leap forward while in the spin and hands it back to Pauls to try out. After a few attempts, her form shows a marked improvement.

Fisher estimates that he has about 30 athletes in the program this year.

“We’ve got 10 middle and long-distance runners, though I don’t know how many will stick it out and go to meets,” he says, “but that’s rare to have so many.

“We have about the same for sprinters — with one hurdler, Kelly Peters.

“We have oodles of throwers, though they don’t just do that. They overlap with other events. Javelin is the most popular, because they think it’s cool,” says the coach.

Manny Warren, Autumn Clark and Blake Deschenes will be doing the high jump as well.

Athletes have to limit themselves to only three events when they go to high school meets, with the exception of heptathlon and decathlon. Deschenes competed in the decathlon at the B.C. high school provincials but is working through some injuries this year, says Fisher.

Potentially, Deschenes and Steberl could go in the decathlon and Peters and Autumn Perry-White in the heptathlon next year,” he adds. “We’ll need more preparation time, though.”

The first meet for the Mustangs will be April 25 at Sardis Secondary, with Agassiz and Chilliwack schools competing. April 30 and May 1, the Upper Fraser Valley Championships are held in Abbotsford. Top 12 finishers get to go to the Fraser Valleys in Coquitlam in mid-May, followed by the provincials in Langley, May 29-31. As well, there are community club meets in Kamloops and Victoria.

With practice winding down after 5 o’clock, Kim brings her javelins over to the courtyard, to get Fisher to watch her style.

“Just one more…” he says.

Three throws later, she’s launching some of her best of the day, in the 25-30 meter range. A real keener.

BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD

Jeremiah Steberl heads over an imaginary crossbar, while practicing his pole-vaulting technique at Hope Secondary, last Thursday. The school’s track and field team has about 30 members, with their first meet coming up in Chilliwack on April 25.

HILTS, William Dennis 1932 - 2014 Dennis Hilts passed away peacefully at Fraser Canyon Hospital on Saturday, April 5, 2014.

Dennis was born on August 21, 1932 in Climax, Sask. The family moved to Creston BC in 1948. Dennis married Audrey Flaig in 1957. Road construction took his young family to many places throughout beautiful BC, finally settling in Hope in 1968.

Dennis is survived by his wife Audrey, sons: Bill (Cheryl) of Hope, Jay (Levillie) of Kelowna, Greg (Cheryl) of Kelowna, sister: Vivan Clarke of Cranbrook, grandchildren: Kurtis, Amber, Evan, Cara and many nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by daughter Janice, brother Wesley and sister Betty Janzen.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to the staff of Fraser Hope Lodge for their dedication to extended care, and to Dr. Demian, the nurses and staff members of the Fraser Canyon Hospital for their caring and professional interaction. It was very comforting and appreciated when staff members from both facilities would make a special trip to see Dennis with well wishes and stories.

An informal service will be held at the Legion Hall in Hope BC, on April 12, 2014 at 1:00 pm.

HAPPY THOUGHTS

In Loving Memory of Eugene Alexander Peters (Gunner) April 2, 1953 April 25, 2007

Uncle Geno Can’t get over such an awesome guy, You were always so friendly, just had to say “Hi”.

So much about you, I don’t know where to begin.

Everywhere you went, you fit right in You always had your stories to tell, Had everyone laughing cuz you told them so well, Like Uncle Bobby, you always had a name for everyone, When we all gathered you brought so much craziness and fun.
