Teachers in the Fraser-Cascade school district were behind picket lines Monday as part of rotating strikes around the province this week. Teachers camped out in front of district buildings with signs, waving to passing cars. Teachers are lobbying for a fair contract, as well as improvements to class size, class composition and other student learning conditions.

School district considers C.E. Barry closure Public consultation meetings will start in June Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

The Fraser-Cascade school district is considering the closure of C.E. Barry due to the cost of required seismic mitigation. More than 100 parents, teachers and students packed into the commons room at Hope secondary on Tuesday night to find out the district’s plan for the future of the 42-year-old middle school. Trustees voted in favour of pursuing a public consultation process starting in June.

“This process was pushed on the board. Everybody would have been satisfied to upgrade the building,” said secretary treasurer Natalie Lowe-Zucchet during her presentation. “It’s been a fairly lengthy process and it’s not something we’re taking lightly.” On May 12, 2012, the government announced $122 million of new capital funding to carry out structural upgrades for 14 school with high seismic risk. C.E. Barry was identified as a vulnerable structure at high risk of wide-

spread damage or structural collapse, likely not reparable after a major seismic event. Lowe-Zucchet said as the process progressed and ministry budgets tightened, the government required more information. The school board was directed to focus on seismic upgrades to ensure safety, not school renewal, and pursue the lowest cost option. Engineering consultants were hired to produce a seismic project identification report for C.E Barry, with solutions for structur-

al upgrades to address life safety. The detailed cost estimate for the work came in at $4 million. Due to excess school capacity, the ministry asked the district to examine the costs for additions and demolition in comparison to maintaining the school. In particular, the government requested a review of the ongoing operational costs and current life cycle costs. The district has to prove there’s a need for C.E. Barry, despite declining enrolment.

Team lead Birk Madson, from Central Valley Search and Rescue, leads Arnold McEwan (Hope SAR), Dezerae Gunia (Hope SAR), Lisa Poirier (Central Valley SAR), Lisa Lee (Central Valley SAR) and Scott Fyall (Hope SAR) on a training exercise near Boston Bar Airport on Saturday. Hope SAR, along with mutual aid teams from Kent Harrison SAR, Central Valley SAR and Surrey SAR, were deployed May 24-25 to perform a search for a missing person. The exercise was based on 2008 cold case involving a missing woman from Boston Bar. After an initial briefing, the teams performed some search techniques, including house to house interview, rope work and orientation using GPS and compass. Any new findings were passed onto Boston Bar RCMP.

No legislation planned for teacher strike Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government is not planning to legislate a settlement to the latest teacher strike, which shut down schools in each district for a day this week. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Monday the government is looking for movement from the B.C. Teachers’ Federation on its wage and benefit demands, but isn’t going to impose another contract extension on

the union. The legislature is scheduled to adjourn for the summer today (May 29). “To rush to legislation is not where we’re going to go,” Fassbender said. “We want the BCTF to come to the table with a wage response that is reasonable and within the zone of other public sector unions. We expect them to come with something that is affordable for taxpayers.” After lockout provisions were announced last week to mirror union work hour

restrictions that started in April, BCTF president Jim Iker said that would disrupt graduation ceremonies, and sports, drama and clubs would be cancelled. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association issued a letter to the BCTF Sunday saying Iker’s statements are incorrect, and there are no school district restrictions on extracurricular or volunteer activities. “If teachers withdraw from participation in extracurricular or volunteer activities,

they do so at the encouragement of the union and by their own choice,” the letter states. Fassbender also rejected the union’s claim that teachers doing volunteer work are not covered for work-related injury. “Any teacher that is at any activity that is sanctioned by a school district is absolutely covered by WorkSafeBC,” Fassbender said. “There is no question of that, and that misinformation should be corrected.”

Addition to Coquihalla elementary could be an option From A1

A number of options are being considered, including the possibility of transferring Grade 7 students to Hope secondary and Grades 5 and 6 to Coquihalla elementary. Lowe-Zucchet said the government would consider funding a four-room addition to Coquihalla elementary to accommodate students if C.E. Barry is closed. While the addition to Coquihalla is the most cost-effective, LoweZucchet acknowledged there are financial, educational and emotional costs with all the options. However, the closure of C.E. Barry is projected to save the district $200,000 annually in operating costs, which could be used for student programming or

additional recreational facilities. There also wouldn’t be any teaching positions lost, added Lowe-Zucchet. A number of parents and teachers in attendance at Tuesday’s meeting were emotional and frustrated with the school’s uncertain future. Many stressed the importance of C.E. Barry in educational development, relationship building, and transitioning students to high school. Others expressed the need to give the community time to process a closure, and not make any change for the 2014-15 school year. “If this school gets closed, I will accept that as a personal failure on all of your parts,” C.E. Barry teacher Aaron Poulin told the school board and district administration.

“You have not found a way to keep that school safe and keep our kids in the community that we have

worked hard to develop over the years. We understand all the numbers and the finances, but education is losing

Police seek break-in information

Hope RCMP is looking for anyone with any information regarding a break and enter in the 02/14H_AA6

20000 block of Mt. Hope Road on May 16. The shed on the property was broken into and a significant amount of goods were stolen, including a Trek mountain bike, Honda generator,

and Stihl gas trimmer. The home owner believes the break and enter occurred sometime between May 13 and May 15. “This is in an area of town where we don’t tend

to see a lot of crime happening,” said Const. Tracy Wolbeck. “It is also the time of year where we see more break and enters to sheds and garages in general so please be vigilant and ensure everything on

your property is locked up.” Anyone with information is asked to contact Hope RCMP at 604869-7750 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

District planning repairs for East Kawkawa Lake lift station

05/14H_CS1

The waste water lift station at East Kawkawa Lake will soon be repaired following the discovery of a malfunction on May 17 that resulted in the deployment of vacuum trucks to manually remove waste water. It has been confirmed that an underwater pipe has been dam-

aged in the form of two “kinks” thereby causing a blockage. “All required provincial environment, health and fisheries organizations have been contacted and at no time has there been any threat to public health or safety,” said chief administrative officer John Fortoloczky.

Search for missing teen

“In addition, malicious signage was posted claiming the district had closed the lake due to contamination, a matter which is being investigated by the RCMP.” The district is scheduling repair work to start as early as next week.

Hope Search and Rescue was called out on May 22 at 3:50 p.m. to help locate a missing 14-year-old teenager at the Rotary Trail.

SAR members were deployed on the trail and after an hour were advised that she was found by the RCMP near her house.

Opinion

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

School showdown You don’t have to be a union supporter to think the BC Liberal government is being unusually inflammatory in its battle with the BC Teachers’ Federation. Sure, the BCTF is being unreasonable with a wage proposal that would hike wages far and away above what other B.C. public and most private sector unions are settling for. Even teachers’ CUPE colleagues settled for much less than what the teachers are asking for — and the support workers’ deal was one of the richer in a province where many unions have grudgingly settled for 5.5 per cent over five years. There is room to move on both sides but there’s little hope of conciliation on this delicate file — with Education Minister Peter Fassbender, whose start in education dates back to the early days of back-to-basics schools, tough-talking Peter Cameron and Premier Christy Clark, never a friend of teachers — at the reins. You might as well ask the devil to escort the angels to the school Christmas play. Did we really need to poke hornet’s nest with a 10 per cent wage cut while saying that teachers can continue to do their volunteer and extracurricular work? Unprecedented in teachers’ talks, this PR move to make the teachers look and feel bad has just strengthened their resolve, leaving graduation ceremonies, end-of-year concerts and barbecues in a shambles. Oddly, this jab from the BC Public Employers’ Association comes during one of the BCTF’s least disruptive work stoppages in recent memory. Clearly the power lies with the BC Liberals, still fresh from last year’s election, but this power must be wielded judiciously. They should drop the six-year-contact demand down to four, get rid of the inflammatory zero per cent mid-contract, eliminate the signing bonus in favour of a retroactive pay increase — like the one the province gave CUPE — and put class size and composition issues into mediation. If something isn’t done to bring some rationality into teacher talks, we’re looking at a future where educators watch the clock rather than attend their duties, both paid and unpaid, and that would be a great loss. - Black Press

Are our public schools racist? B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher Last week’s column on the proposal to add a mandatory high school course on the effects of Canada’s aboriginal residential school policy attracted a range of responses – some of which are printable. I referred to comments made by B.C. Teachers’ Federation vicepresident Glen Hansman at a 2012 aboriginal education conference, where he insisted that “racism is the norm in public schools – still today” because of a colonial perspective that remains ingrained in our culture. Aboriginal education has been built into social studies curriculum for years. It’s come a long way from my high school days, where Mr.

Spillers, my Grade 8 English teacher, assigned us an essay proposing solutions to Canada’s “Indian problem.” That was 1972, and it was the only time the subject came up. My lone aboriginal classmate wasn’t around by then. I never saw him again after we graduated from our rural elementary school. How are things now? I received a thoughtful letter from a young woman who graduated from high school in the Okanagan last year. She writes: “The idea that information about residential schools is not presented to students is entirely incorrect. The social studies curriculum that I went through included a large emphasis on First Nations culture and post-European colonization history. “First Nations studies began in elementary school and continued

to the last mandatory social studies course in Grade 11. I can say with no hesitation that if anything, I have been informed too often about the residential schools, and the horrendous things that occurred there. “If aboriginal culture courses are poorly attended, I would be inclined to suggest that it is because students are tired of being taught the same limited perspective over and over, and, if of European descent, being made to feel somehow responsible for all possible troubles plaguing First Nations today.” Another reply I’d like to share is from Keith Thor Carlson, editor of the Stó:lo Nation historical atlas I referred to last week. Carlson is now a history professor at the University of Saskatchewan, specializing in the Salish people of B.C. and the Métis of Northern Saskatchewan. He writes: “We do need to teach the history

Standard

of the First Peoples of this country in our schools, and we do need to keep vigilant about the racism that continues to haunt the hallways and classrooms where our children learn. “Of course aboriginal history should never be reduced to victim history, and with the Stó:lo atlas we sought to show the complexity of aboriginal history, and we sought to show that not only are there aboriginal people in Canada’s history, but that Canada is in aboriginal peoples’ histories. “There were times in the past when aboriginal people were victimized (residential schools being a tragic example), and there were times when aboriginal people showed great agency (retaining the masked dance, and continuing to fish salmon, for example). “Knowing that native society was not a Utopia when Europeans ar-

appealing. Now they are trying to pressure and bully teachers to settle before the appeal is ruled on. Could they be worried the government may not win? The government states they must protect taxpayers, a refrain they use when it comes to B.C. employee unions. However, they do not use that refrain when it comes to pay increases of 18 per cent for their staff, giving away $10 million for an

award show, or the hiring of patronage jobs. It is paramount that B.C. pay good wages to keep good teachers – as of now they are the second lowest paid in Canada. I hope the B.C. government comes to realize that education it too important and too fast-changing to use schools and teachers as whipping posts. For the future of B.C. and our children, settle this dispute. T. McCormick

Money raised supports local groups Every time I pass the Eagle’s hall on Fort Street, I wonder what they’ve done with the money they raise through their bingos and meat draws. When I was told that they were having a gathering on May 24th to distribute the money they

raised I was curious to see who got what and how much of it went to groups right here in Hope. What a surprise! Between the two groups of Eagles they gave away over $52,000 to over 30 groups. For a small town like Hope this seems to me to be a

major contribution. It is so nice to see that the money raised locally is supporting everything from children’s groups to the elderly, sporting groups and support services for those in need. Well done Eagles. Ken McDonald

Hope Legion has undergone a facelift The Hope Legion is very proud of the new look of our building and it couldn’t have happened without the very generous donation of supplies, labour and equipment from Barclay Fletcher Construction. While

some of our members worked alongside Fletcher and his employees, this never could have taken place without his very generous support. The Legion, like many other groups in town, relies greatly on our vol-

unteers to keep our doors open and our facility in good working order. To have a company in town come forward and help us with the construction maintenance of the building is a great help. Over the last couple of years,

the Legion has had a facelift both outside and inside. If you haven’t visited us lately, please consider coming down to see what has happened and what is available to the community. Lynne Barker

True leadership is action, not position In the words of 20th Century lawyer, broadcast executive, author and pioneer of social responsibility in the media Donald H. McGannon, “Leadership is action, not position.” I couldn’t agree more. Whether you lead a business, a team, a family, a committee, your own life, or something else, you are a leader. A mentor of mine once shared a position about leadership that really made sense to me, one that I have adopted in my own life to great effect. The position is this: “anytime I want something to be different, it is a leadership opportunity.” Taking this position brings a higher level of responsibility. It is much easier to criticize what other people are doing than get out there and be part of the solution. It takes more time and energy to educate yourself about an issue, determine how it might be resolved, and take steps to resolve it, than it does to complain about how other people are doing it. I think it’s worth the effort. If I want something different in my career, in my family, or in my community, these are all leadership opportunities. Stepping into leadership requires a willingness to

stand up for what you want and believe in, take action to create it, and make an impact in the area(s) you have identified as important to you. Strong leaders build strong communities. Leading by example is a great place to start. Focus on what’s good and take action around what you think needs improvement. At the very least, refrain from complaining

and criticizing others for their efforts. When people work together to change things for the better, the results are astounding. Rather than stand against something, stand FOR something, and do something about it. We are all leaders; let’s take that role to heart and realize our potential for the highest good of all.

Gas price hardship drives more to conserve: Poll

Jeff Nagel Black Press

A new poll has found high gas prices are causing financial hardship for a majority of B.C. residents, many of whom say they’re driving less and trying alternatives like walking or transit more. The Insights West online survey in partnership with Black Press found two-thirds of respondents across the province have felt financial hardship from the recent rise in gas prices. Pump prices for regular gas climbed above $1.50 per litre in Metro Vancouver this week, up more than 20 per cent since early January. More Interior B.C. residents cited hardship – 74 per cent – even though they don’t pay the extra 17-cent-alitre gas tax charged by TransLink in Metro Vancouver. Insights West vicepresident Mario Canseco said $1.50 per litre appears to be a psychological level where more people seek ways to cut their fuel consumption. “We’re seeing people saying it might be better to take the bus this afternoon, it might be better to walk or try to bike – essentially not to drive,” he said. Fifty-five per cent of

poll respondents across B.C. said they’re already driving less than usual, while 27 per cent said they’re walking more and 19 per cent said they’re taking public transit more. (Twentysix per cent in the Lower Mainland said they’re taking transit more.) While it’s helpful that gas prices tend to spike in spring and summer, when the weather is more conducive to walking or biking than December, Canseco believes that’s coincidence. “They’re not doing it because it’s lovely outside, they’re doing it because they’re feeling the pain when they gas up.” The poll also uncovered refueling habits of those surveyed. It may not sound like

a winning strategy, but a large number of respondents – 38 per cent – said they’ve refueled with less gas than usual lately, possibly in hopes of lower prices the next time. Just over half said they buy at gas stations that give them loyalty reward points, while far fewer respondents said they use a station close to home or work (20 per cent), or they buy at any station when they run low (10 per cent.) Sixteen per cent said they don’t own a car. The poll also found widespread belief that gas taxes are too high, that B.C. stations charge more than ones elsewhere in Canada, and 91 per cent said they believe gas stations take advantage of motorists by rais-

ing prices just before a long weekend. “There’s a high number of people who look at the service stations as gougers,” Canseco said. Just four per cent said they’ve considered selling their vehicle and switching to a more fuel efficient one. Canseco said he believes that will change over time as electric car prices come down. The poll didn’t ask the more than 800 respondents if they regularly drive to the U.S. to refuel with cheaper gas. But Canseco said a previous poll on crossborder shopping habits showed gas savings is one of the top reasons why Lower Mainland residents frequently head south.

Hope’s Marcus Zerr takes on Darrell Steffenson of Manitoba at the Canadian National Arm Wresting Championships in Charlottetown, PEI over the Victoria Day weekend. Zerr ended up finishing second in his age and weight class at the competition. He is now training for the Summerland Open on June 7, where he won a silver medal two years ago.

Local arm wrestler competes for national title

Barry Stewart Hope Standard

He might look friendly enough… but if Marcus Zerr invites you to try out some arm wrestling, you’ll probably want to change the subject. Zerr finished second in his age and weight class at the Canadian National Arm Wrestling Championships in Charlottetown PEI, on the Victoria Day weekend. With his weight training and ability, there aren’t many locals who would have a chance — though some of his eight kids like to try. “All of my sons take me on,” said Zerr, with a confident grin. “Kellen has beaten me once. He’s a little lighter than me — and I arm-wrestled after a workout… but we won’t tell him that!” At age 54, Zerr competed in the Grand Masters 80+ Kg class — which should have topped out at 90 Kg — but also included two heavyweights.

“The biggest guy was 375 pounds,” said Zerr. “The organizers decided to mix the 240+ pound weight class with mine. There were only two guys in that class and nine in mine. “I finished second in my weight class (and fourth in the combined). They’re going to give me credit for second, so if I place first or second next year, that will entitle me to go to the Worlds.” Wrestling the heavyweights was a daunting challenge, he said. “You still have to have the technique side of it — but the weight helps a lot,” explained Zerr. Arm wrestlers compete standing up and can shift their feet and lean their bodies to gain an advantage. The bench has a handle for each wrestler to hold onto with the free hand and a pad to keep the wrestling-elbow on. Tight strings on each side help the referees determine when a win has been made. If a wrestler’s arm is forced onto the string, the match is over.

Zerr said he missed a first-place win in his class because of a technical error against Darrell Steffenson of Manitoba. “I had him within an inch and a half of the rope and I lifted my elbow off the pad. You’re allowed two fouls and that was my second.” To get a better feel for the sport, I asked Zerr to walk me through a safe-and-slow version of a match. We knelt and used a bench at the rec centre’s Reflexions gym, where Zerr does his weight training. “One ref will line up your hands and one more ref watches for square shoulders. And you can’t cross the centre line with your hand or shoulders,” explained Zerr. Before the referee lets the match begin, he’s holding onto the clasped hands of the competitors. “You’re fighting for the best grip and finger position,” said Zerr. “Who’s going to control the hand from the start? “There can be a lot of complain-

ing and bickering (before the start),” he added. “I’m told that I’m pretty generous… I guess that comes from inexperience. “Two typical moves are a sharp hook or a roll over the top — or a combination of both,” said Zerr, as he showed me with a deft twist of our wrists. I immediately saw how I would be in trouble, even against a less-muscular opponent. But there is hope for losers. “Defensively, if you are losing, you move close to the centre line and turn your hand around,” said Zerr. “If you’re getting really bent, you go down with your upper body. Your core is as tight and tense as you can get it.” In his younger days, Zerr was a weight lifter and competitive cyclist in Saskatchewan — and he won a provincial arm wrestling title. “Then I got married and raised a family.” As his kids have gotten older, there has been a little more time to

get back into fitness and sport, so he hits the gym for three or four onehour sessions per week. “It’s mostly upper-body,” he said. I get a cardio work out, too, because my sets are very intense. One is the bicep curls. On the cables, I get up to 225 pounds and eight reps. “That’s a maximum right there. I try to keep most of the reps between five and seven. I’m going for strength and not body mass. “I try to be explosive on my way up and slow on the way down,” he explained, saying this makes it like an arm wrestling match. “If you’re getting beaten, it’s a slow pulldown… unless the guy’s a real monster.” For the technical side, Zerr takes a long drive each month to train with the Vancouver Arm Wrestling Club, where he wrestles and gets lots of coaching tips. Next up is the Summerland Open, on June 7. Zerr won a silver medal there two years ago.

Eagles in Hope

Fraternal Order of

Eagles convention in Hope Hope Eagles highlights Hope is hosting its first provincial convention for the Fraternal Order of Eagles June 4-8. Hundreds of delegates and visitors will be in town over the four-day event, staying at local motels and campsites. Members will discuss what’s going on around the province, pass resolutions and elect new provincial officers. “It’s an honour and a lot of work, but there’s a lot of money that’s going to come into the community,” said long-time Eagles member Allan Derick. There are many meetings and events planned throughout the convention, including a few open to the public. Local residents are encouraged to attend the Meatloaf tribute dinner and dance with Steve and Celeste on June 5. There will also be a karaoke night on June 6 and a performance by Crossfire on June 7. The Hope Eagles have a long history of helping people in the community. The club officially formed on July 27, 1947 in Chilliwack, under the leadership of first worthy president Harry J. Campbell. Most of the officers at that time were from Hope and travelled 47 kilometres to Chilliwack for every meeting. Over the early years, the local aerie has supported numerous sports teams, held regular dances, ran bingos, whist tournaments, picnics, Christmas parties and built floats for Canada Day parades. The club also sponsored “A Dramatic Show,” which came from New Westminster and featured singers and local dancers of all ages. In the late 1940s, they raffled a car and $60 worth of clothes, either men’s or women’s that could be purchased at a local shop. The aerie also donated to the Chilli-

wack flood victims in July 1948 and assisted in building cabins at Cultus Lake for the United Church Summer Camp. In 1954, the president from Hope wrote the Grand Aerie advising them that unless the aerie chapter was brought to Hope, it would close due to a lack of interest and attendance by Chilliwack members. The Grand Aerie granted the permission and the charter was brought to Hope for the “good of the order.” About 40 members from Hope bought an old house on the corner of Fort Street and Fourth Avenue, tore down the walls and built a small hall. They ran weekly bingo games, held raffles, and had a building fund. By 1974, the club outgrew its hall and the president suggested that a larger building was required. The aerie sold debentures, borrowed from the local bank and relied on volunteers to build a new hall adjacent to the old one. John Kellum, in particular, fronted $15,000 for the new hall, while other members bought debentures ranging from $500-$2,000. Within about three years, all the loans were paid back. The old hall now contains a modern kitchen and is home to the ladies auxiliary, which was instituted on Sept. 20, 1975.

The Hope aerie is responsible for starting the British Columbia Cancer Fund, the school patrol program, and Eagles Visitation, an annual event that involves members visiting all the aeries in the Lower Mainland, with meals and music provided by the hosting aerie at no cost. Aerie membership in Hope has doubled in the last few years. The club currently has 227 members as well as 87 ladies auxiliary members. “The purpose of the Eagles is people helping people,” said Hope aerie president Herb Smith. “We get together and raise funds for different charities.” In addition to fundraising for community groups, the ladies auxiliary members prepare food for bingo and meat draw events, catering events, and funeral teas. The Hope Eagles host bingo on Monday and Friday nights, karaoke every Friday night, meat draws on Sundays, and swap/craft fairs on the last Sunday of the month. They also hold monthly dinners in the lounge, which is open seven days a week to members and guests. In addition, the Eagles hall can be rented for private events. - with files from past president Joseph E. Buck

Cement pouring operations began in February 1975 at the Eagles hall for a new addition to the existing structure.

Bill Murray, past president of the provincial aerie, cuts the ribbon to officially open the new addition to the Eagles hall in Hope in February 1976. The ceremony was followed by a dance.

Hope Eagles through the years

Hope Eagles club forwards the proceeds from a March 1981 bingo game to the Canadian Diabetic Fund. Morris Smith (above), a visitor from Winnipeg, was one of many players who enjoyed the evening. The ladies auxiliary also forward the proceeds from a raffle to the Diabetic Fund.

Hope Eagles add a ladies auxiliary and officers are installed at a ceremony in September 1975. Officers were selected from the charter members. From left to right: (Front row) Donna Witleg, treasurer; Irene Pelly, treasurer; Barbara Kellum, vice-president; Pot Rolufs, president; Audrey Merkle, conductor; Elizabeth Staley, chaplain; Nancy Eddie, post president. (Back row) Margaret Hamilton, inside guard; Audrey Houston, outside guard; Norma Demmitt, trustee; Silvio Kiepillos, trustee; Audrey Hilts, trustee.

Hope Eagles president John Kellum decided their mascot was just a little shaggy and got out the scissors in June 1975 and gave the once-bald eagle a trim. At this time, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no trace of the culprits who glued on the wig.
