Local physicians and nurse practitioners are hoping a new walk-in clinic will provide residents with more access and efficient care.

With the continual loss of family doctors in Hope over the last five years, its been a struggle to meet the community’s health care needs. Last September, Hope Medical Centre took over operation of Fraser Canyon Clinic and started an open access clinic, which was shared be-

tween the two sites.

However, feedback through the recent GP for Me community survey and forum showed people are still in need of primary care providers and same-day service. According to local statistics, about 11 per cent of people in Hope don’t have any primary care providers and another 20 per cent have family physicians or nurse practitioners out of town.

“By keeping that clinic functional through our own resources and some funding from GP for Me,

Looking for a Bright Worker?

we’ve been able to keep the space alive so we can then bring more physicians and specialists in,” said Hope physician Dr. Josh Greggain.

“It’s a matter of giving people an opportunity for care when they need it at the appropriate time and place.”

There are currently six physicians in Hope and two nurse practitioners. Greggain said Dr. Benedict Yap and Dr. Saif Razouki are expected to join Hope Medical Centre in August.

“In order to bring new physicians and nurse practitioners to town,

you need to support them,” he said.

“You need to give them guidance, mentorship and opportunities to learn about the community and continue to learn medicine. That’s always best done in a group setting.”

Nurse practitioners Susan Lawrence, who has a special interest in youth clinics and outreach care, and Linda Yearwood, who has special interest in geriatrics and residential care, have been instrumental in filling in local health care gaps.

10th Annual

Yale Strawberry Social this Saturday Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

This year’s Strawberry Social in Yale will coincide with Canyon Appreciation Day. The annual event at Yale Historic Site has been a community tradition for decades and features gold panning, children’s games and crafts, musical entertainment, living history demonstrations, strawberry shortcake, giant community bake sale, and tea and coffee hosted by Hope Masonic Lodge inside the saloon tent. Organizers have also added a new artisan market this year, which will run all summer on weekends at the historic site starting at the end of June.

“It just continues to get larger and larger every year,” said site supervisor Deb Zervini. “It’s a chance for people to reminisce and see people that they don’t see all the time.

Certain families make an effort to come out every year.

It’s a fun time to sit and relax and talk to your neighbours.”

FILE PHOTO

This year’s Strawberry Social at Yale Historic runs from 1-4 p.m. on Sunday.

The Strawberry Social also provides an opportunity for visitors to check out the new family history exhibit and Living History Tent City, which features a medical tent, gold commissioner’s tent, general store, jail, and Chinese boarding house. A new blacksmith shed will be added this year.

The family history exhibit showcases six to eight promi-

nent families that lived in Yale and are connected to the history of B.C. Yale Historic Site is also looking for stories and pictures from other former residents for a PowerPoint presentation.

This summer, the Yale and District Historical Society will be working with The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, Fraser Valley

Regional District and Emil Anderson Maintenance on a community enhancement project at the entrance to Yale.

The highway pullout will have washrooms, picnic area, new fencing, and historical interpretive signage.

Yale Historic Site is also hosting a Barrel Race on June 22. Any businesses interested in sponsoring a barrel can contact Hank de Meulder at Erica Press or Yale Historic Site.

The Strawberry Social runs from 1-4 p.m. on Sunday (June 8). There will be a barbecue and raffle draws at the event, with proceeds benefitting the Yale and District Historical Society.

In honour of Canyon Appreciation Day, Hell’s Gate Airtram is offering free tram rides on June 8. There will also be live entertainment with Justin Dumont, Earthmen and Roger Dalton.

For more information, visit historicyale.ca or call 604863-2324.

Clinic aims to provide better health care access From A1

A prenatal clinic was also added this year, which runs twice a month at Hope Medical Centre, to help meet the community’s needs.

“Nurse practitioners can provide primary care for the majority of patients,” said Greggain, pointing out this includes ordering investigations, lab tests, x-rays and providing longitudinal care for patients. “So lots of patients who are reasonably healthy or have complex chronic diseases can be seen by the nurse practitioners on a regular basis.”

The new walk-in clinic is available Monday to Friday, from 1:30-5 p.m., at Fraser Canyon Clinic (222 Wallace St.).

Physicians and nurse practitioners will operate the clinic on a rotational basis. No prescriptions for narcotics or other controlled medications will be issued.

For more information about the walk-in clinic, contact the Hope Medical Centre at 604-869-9966.

Hope filmmaker Eva Wunderman has won a Golden Sheaf Award for her documentary Once Were Enemies.

She took home the award in the history and biography category on May 24 at the 2014 Yorkton Film Festival in Saskatchewan. “It’s quite an honour, “said Wunderman. “It’s a prestigious award in the film industry. I never thought I was going to win because there were four other very good films.

So it was a huge surprise.�

The documentary, which premiered in Canada at the Hope Cinema on March 27, explores the different perspectives of former Second World War enemies.

Wunderman reunites U.S. tank commander Lee Smith and platoon leader Bill Cumbaa with Japanese survivors Tsuchida Kiyokazu and Shinji Karasumaru 60 years after the battle of Peleliu in Micronesia. Now in the their 80s, they relive their tragic time on the island, sharing secrets and personal stories.

Sixteen thousand men and three month later, the U.S. forces finally defeated the Japanese defenders, some sealed inside their fortifications by armored bulldozers where they still remain. While much of the island is now overgrown by jungle, remnants of the war lay scattered throughout, everything

from hand grenades and machine guns to airplane wreckage. “It’s very special to receive this award after all the struggles that I had with this particular production,â€? said Wunderman, adding that the tapes sat on her shelves for 10 years before she was able to finish the film last year. “It helps validate all the time and effort put into it ‌ and know that what you’re doing has been appreciated.â€?

A 65-year-old Hope man has been charged with three counts of drug and firearm related offences.

On May 29, a search warrant was executed in the 900 block of Fraser Ave. and homeowner James McGuire was arrested. The warrant execution was a joint effort between the Hope RCMP, the Lower Mainland District Emer-

“We were actively investigating drug and stolen property related offences which resulted in a warrant being executed on this property,” said Cpl. Darren Rennie.

“We would especially like to thank the members of the Hope community because without their assistance, this matter would not have come to a successful conclusion.”

Anyone with any information regarding drug and firearm offences is asked to contact police at 604 869-7750 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS).

Parents’ group calls for ‘truce’ The organization representing public school parent advisory councils is calling for an immediate end to the teacher strike and lockout out of concern for students and families.

BC Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils (BCCPAC) president Terry Berting stated in

a press release that the “feud” between the BC Teachers’ Federation and the government is having a detrimental effect on students, particularly those most vulnerable, and creating financial hardship for struggling families.

The parent group is also concerned about the can-

cellation of extra-curricular activities, end-of-year celebrations and sporting events in some schools, and is urging the government and the BCTF to concentrate their energies on achieving a new collective agreement.

“Successful outcomes for all students — not just those graduating from

Grade 12 — are being affected by this labour dispute,” Berting stated.

“This has got to stop.”

Parents are also encouraged to write to Education Minister Peter Fassbender and BCTF president Jim Iker explaining how the rotating strikes and lockout are affecting families.

Opinion

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

Convince the public Kinder Morgan has a big job ahead of it to convince the public that its $5.4-billion oil pipeline twinning project is worth doing and won’t hurt parks, waterways and public property.

True, the company can win regulatory approval but without public acceptance, the project will struggle to get built.

Kinder Morgan must, therefore, work doubly hard to provide reasons it must change the routing for its project, which now is slated to go through at least three Metro Vancouver regional parks or greenways, and possibly Bridal Veil Falls Provincial Park east of Chilliwack.

Tri-City environmentalists are also concerned about a proposal to assemble the pipeline at Colony Farm Regional Park in Coquitlam, although the company says every effort will be made to minimize impacts and provide opportunities for habitat enhancement.

As well, to reduce construction hassles for drivers, the route has been changed from Lougheed Highway to United Boulevard in Coquitlam, requiring the twinned pipeline to cross into the Brunette River Conservation Area and along the Brunette Fraser Regional Greenway before reaching Burnaby Mountain.

The Brunette River, which runs through New Westminster on the border with Coquitlam, is a salmon enhancement success story and you can bet local stream stewards don’t want a heavy oil pipeline anywhere near there. The company says it has had success operating in other environmentally sensitive areas, with twinning projects in Jasper National Park and Mt. Robson Provincial Park, and can use this experience to protect fish habitat here.

This may be good news but what’s odd about this regulatory process is that the company still seems to be investigating its various options while at the same time justifying its plans through the National Energy Board — every change to routing seems like a Kinder surprise.

While there may be sound reasons for these adjustments, and flexibility is good if its in response to practical and citizens’ concerns, the provisional nature of the process doesn’t inspire confidence.

Farmland fate a test for parties B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher The B.C. Liberal government’s bill to divide the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones has passed, after one of the nastier exchanges I’ve seen in a decade covering the B.C. legislature.

“You’re all a bunch of corrupt liars,” NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons yelled as the government cut off a long and mostly repetitious debate that dominated the final days of the legislature session.

Not to be outdone, cabinet minister Bill Bennett replied to Simons’ heckle about Kootenay rancher Faye Street, one of Bennett’s most vocal supporters as he pushed through changes to the

land reserve to ease land use restrictions in rural zones.

Bennett advised Simons to offer his remarks to Street in person.

“She’ll kick your ass,” Bennett said.

The on-the-record debate wasn’t much better. Columbia River-Revelstoke NDP MLA Norm Macdonald summed up his party’s biggest objection with his charge that “a bunch of Liberal political hacks” will be appointed to regional panels of the Agricultural Land Commission.

The government’s scheme, Macdonald and other NDP critics predicted, is to unleash a flood of ALR land removals, to enrich B.C. Liberal supporters by allowing development on productive farmland.

That might be a valid concern, but there are a couple of factual problems. First, every appointment to the ALC, at the regional or provincial level, is made by the

B.C. government. It’s been that way since the Dave Barrett administration set it up in 1973.

Second, the regional panels are not new. The B.C. Liberals imposed them in 2003. If this was their method of corrupting the process to dismantle the ALR, that would have largely happened in the years since. Surely by this time they would have found enough greedy political hacks who hate farming to subvert the process.

I’ve written before about the legitimate concerns of places like Merritt and Vanderhoof and Dawson Creek, where some ALR rules and decisions simply don’t make sense.

Strict secondary residence rules are needed in areas with non-farm development pressure. In most rural areas, they are a mistake, and are frequently ignored.

The debate wasn’t entirely de-

Standard

void of honesty and civility. Macdonald interrupted his string of baseless accusations to note that under the current system, 75% of exclusion applications in the Kootenay region are approved. If that’s the case, what is really broken that needs to be fixed? It’s a good question that the government did not adequately answer.

And credit also goes to the new agriculture minister, KelownaLake Country MLA Norm Letnick, who inherited a public relations mess left by the brief and boneheaded performance of Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm.

Braving the heckling at the end, Letnick put aside his partisan talking points and gave his personal assurance that the government’s intention is to support farming in those places where non-farm income is the only thing that keeps people on the land.

As soon as the theatrics had died down, the B.C. NDP sent out a fundraising plea to its members to help “save” the ALR. The party is broke and desperate after losing its fourth straight election, and it hopes to activate its declining donor base by portraying the changes as the imminent slaughter of its most sacred cow.

Voters have three years before the next election to assess this situation. If there is a flood of exclusions of prime agricultural land, then the NDP will be able to make its case that its warnings were at least partially true.

If this does not take place, then the government’s position will be vindicated. We’ll find out the truth.

Hope Standard Thursday, June 5, 2014 A7

Consider Silver Creek as an option There was an article in the May 29 edition of The Hope Standard about the possible closure of C.E. Barry school.

It needs a seismic upgrade and it is nearing the end of its life cycle.

There was lots of talk about sending some kids to high school and some to Coquihalla elementary. Not one word was said about Silver Creek el-

ementary school. Why is this?

I think we all know the answer. It’s because all of the big shots who are about to make a decision on this issue don’t want to bus their kids or their relative’s kids to Silver Creek.

There are no buses bringing kids to Silver Creek elementary but there are buses taking kids from Silver Creek to Hope. Why?

Silver Creek elementary school was built in 1999 – it’s modern and new. There are currently four, yes that’s right four, empty classrooms and this school is capable of holding over 200 kids. It now only has 100 kids.

The kids in Coquihalla have iPads, the kids at Silver Creek don’t. There is clearly some bias here when decisions are

made. The staff at Silver Creek school are highly qualified and professional.

I don’t have any kids but I must pay $3,000 a year in property taxes. A lot of that money is for schools and for paying the big shots on the school board. They are putting on a real nice show but I can already see our taxes going up.

Udo Pietsch

Community involvement adds value to Hope In response to Michelle Richardson’s letter to the editor (True leadership is action, not position, May 29), I wish to indicate my agreement with her statements.

Communities and its various leaders (politicians, business, non-profit, community groups, religious, etc.) have chosen to take action and undertake efforts at moving forward towards solutions and desired outcomes.

This is not an easy

or even thankful task as many struggle on, striving to achieve a vision despite skepticism and easy criticism. They deserve our support and respect even if we don’t agree with their position.

People can chose to merely live in a community or chose to take part in it. In choosing to take part, I believe they all make this community better in that they develop visions of what should be and actively take positive steps and en-

gage others to achieve these goals. It is not easy.

Community leadership takes its toll on one’s free time, requires research and work to be done if it is meaningful change one seeks. Finally it often requires one to suffer the proverbial slings and arrows that people will hurl at them and not necessarily their arguments or goals. Michelle is correct when she eloquently states, one should “refrain from

complaining and criticizing others, for their efforts.”

I am happy to say that living in Hope (literally and metaphorically) there are many individuals and groups who provide positive energy and are working to shape the future rather than sit idly by on the sidelines and let events dictate how our community will exist.

Groups like the Chamber of Commerce, service clubs, arts groups, Hope Care Transit, Hope Golf Club, etc.

add so much value to our community – but only through their positive efforts.

I was reminded of the positive impact Hope Motorsports Group has had in bringing in a midway as part of their event this past weekend. We are all the richer for it.

On May 21, Christy Clark’s administrator, Michael Marchbank, sent a letter to the BCTF outlining the parameters of the lockout, which has resulted in a 10 per cent teacher pay cut starting May 26.

Teachers are directed: “not to work during recess or lunch hours” and “not to attend their workplace earlier than 45 minutes before the commencement of their instructional time or later than 45 minutes after their instructional time.”

Then, Clark’s minister of education, Peter

Fassbender, clarified the government’s intention in the media by saying, “If teachers withdraw from participation in extracurricular or volunteer activities, they do so at the encouragement of the union and by their own choice.”

Really?

On the one hand, the government is telling teachers they are locked out from being at work; on the other hand, they are telling the public that teachers are free to work (as volunteers whose pay, incidentally, has just been cut by 10 per cent and who may not be covered by WCB).

Clark’s government is sending contradictory messages to parents and teachers, in effect,

creating confusion, maligning dedicated teachers, and shifting blame to the BCTF. Premier Clark’s handling of the lockout is incompetent at best and maliciously manipulative at worst.

Unfortunately for all British Columbians, neither are desirable qualities in a government leader.

BCTF trims wage demands in teacher talks Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation has reduced its pay increase proposal by one per cent over four years and offered other concessions in a move to end the stalemate that has led to two weeks of rotating strikes in public schools.

In an email to union members Tuesday night, the BCTF executive said the offer “adjusted the Federation’s package in seven areas, including salary, benefits, preparation time and [substitute teacher] compensation.”

The new BCTF wage proposal is a total increase of 9.75 per cent

The B.C. government is sticking to education to keep grad parties safe this spring, rather than increasing penalties for “party bus” companies.

Officials are more concerned about under-aged drinking at house parties and bush parties than alcohol served in limousines and buses that have become a popular way for young people to go out on the town.

At a graduation safety event in Victoria, RCMP and ICBC representa-

tives stressed that there are grad-related fatalities every spring, and the problem extends to adult-sanctioned parties.

Inspector Ted Emanuels, officer in charge of the B.C. RCMP’s enhanced traffic services, said any event or transportation where alcohol is served to minors is not a safe grad.

“The misuse and abuse of drugs and alcohol are the underlying factor in grad events where the police get involved, including physical assault, sexual assault, fights and accidental injuries,”

Emanuel said. “We know from experience that bad things happen to good kids in these environments. There are also criminal and civil liabilities that you need to be aware of.”

On average, there are four teens killed in graduation-related vehicle incidents each year in B.C., with another 1,140 injured.

Jill Blacklock, ICBC’s road safety manager, said parents need to discuss transportation plans with teens before every event they go to, giving them more than one option.

Programming taxi numbers into their phones and checking transit schedules before they go out are recommended.

After grad is over, the summer ahead is a time of parties that need the same kind of planning, Blacklock said.

Emanuels said one of the most difficult jobs in policing is knocking on somebody’s door in the middle of the night to report a fatality.

“Answering that door is worse,” he said. “Our objective is that your kids wake you up at four in the morning and not us.”

as in line with other public sector union agreements already reached.

The B.C. Labour Relations Board was expected to release its ruling Wednesday, after The Standard’s press deadline, on BCPSEA’s intention to cut teacher pay by 10 per cent in response to the rotating strikes and the union’s refusal to perform some duties outside classroom hours.

The two sides remain bitterly divided over class size and support staff, the subject of repeated court actions since those provisions were removed from the teacher contract in 2002.

Fraser Health review DAY findings now overdue 1sale JUNE 14

A strategic and operational review of Fraser Health is now overdue but Health Minister Terry Lake hopes its work will be finished later this month.

Lake told the Legislature May 28 there will not be a separate report on the review made public, but its findings will be incorporated into a new three-year strategic plan for the health region, which is expected to be submitted to the province by the end of June.

It’s unclear when the plan might be approved and ultimately made public.

Lake said the process has run past the original May 31 deadline because of the appointment of new board chair Wynne Powell, who suddenly replaced former board chair David Mitchell in early April.

“We don’t want to shortchange the process,” he said. “With the change in leadership, that does throw a bit of a wrench into the timeline.”

New survey finds public split on criminalizing sex trade Jeff Nagel Black Press

Most Canadians think it should be legal to sell sex but not to buy it, according to a national survey that may guide the federal government as it drafts a new law regulating prostitution.

The Conservative government has until the end of the year to replace the old law against communication, which was struck down by the Supreme Court of Canada last December on grounds it forced prostitutes into dangerous circumstances.

Fifty-six per cent of the more than 31,000 respondents in federal consultations said it should be a criminal offence to buy sexual services, but a stronger majority of 66 per cent said it should not be a crime for sex workers to sell their services.

Another 62 per cent said it should be illegal to economically benefit from prostitution of an adult, although many respondents

called for exemptions so prostitutes can hire bodyguards and drivers while criminalizing exploitation by pimps and others.

Ottawa has yet to signal whether it will seek to prohibit the entire sex trade, decriminalize it or follow the Nordic model used in Sweden, where only the customers are targeted by police.

SFU criminology professor John Lowman predicts the Harper government will criminalize both the purchase and sale of sex – which would go farther than the old law – but give sex trade workers a warning on a first offence.

That may risk another fight in the courts.

“Clearly criminalization will make it more dangerous for the women involved,” Lowman said, but added he doesn’t believe the government would accept a Nordic model where only johns’ behaviour is illegal.

“That’s institutionalized entrapment,” Low-

man said. “And I don’t think it fits with Conservative beliefs about prostitution – they believe the women involved in selling sex are as much a part of the problem as the men involved in buying it.”

Nearly 120 responses came from various organizations, about half of which favoured the Nordic model criminalizing only the buyers, 31 per cent urged decriminalization and 10 per cent backed outright prohibition of buying and selling.

Also released this week was a new study conducted by UBC researchers that was published in the British Medical Journal.

It argued a revised Vancouver Police enforcement policy targeting clients and third parties but not sex trade workers was roughly equivalent to the Nordic model but resulted in no decrease in physical or sexual violence.

Sex workers interviewed by researchers said police harassment

of customers left them in much the same position as before – forced to work in riskier conditions where they have less control over their health and safety.

“The findings clearly show that criminalization of clients in Canada risks recreating the same devastating harms to the health, safety and human rights of sex workers as the last two decades of missing and murdered women,” said report author Dr. Kate Shannon.

“Sex workers in the research were very clear: Where clients continue to be targets of police, sex workers’ ability to protect themselves from violence and abuse or access police protections is severely limited.”

Advocacy groups suggested they would launch a new legal challenge of a Nordic-style law that they said would expose sex workers to much the same dangers and harm that the high court found unconstitutional.

“Why can’t I get an interview?”

It’s a question asked by many frustrated job seekers.

“I’ve been job searching for weeks. I have responded to 25 advertisements. I’ve looked online.

I’ve read classified ads and I’ve even applied for jobs off the Help Wanted board at the local employment centre.”

Job search is tough, especially in small rural communities like Hope and the Fraser Canyon.

The first few weeks, job seekers launch in with enthusiasm. It’s easy applying online because there are just so many jobs to apply for.

However, the majority of employers are not enthusiastic about hiring new workers through adPeter vertising.

It is estimated that Bailey about 80 per cent of jobs in Canada are never advertised. Which means that you are looking at 20 per cent of the available jobs.

Worse still it’s estimated that approximately 80 per cent of job seekers only apply for advertised jobs.

That is no different here than it is in Vancouver or larger centres.

We called a dozen small businesses in Hope and asked them if they had recently hired anyone or were about to hire anyone. We were surprised that eight said they were in that category. What was interesting was that none of them intended to advertise.

So the majority of job seekers are

looking at the least number of jobs.

So really the fewest number of job seekers are looking at the majority of jobs. Which group do you want to be in?

Both! Keep following leads but start breaking into the hidden job market too.

So how do you connect with the big group of employers?

First off you need to think about places where you would like to work. That may be easier said than done and I will cover that issue in another column.

But let’s assume you have a few places you like the idea of working for. Look through the Yellow Pages and see the types of organizations doing what you want to do.

Next spend a little time researching them. Ask people who work there if you could do an informational interview and then find out if it really is a place where you would like to work.

Once you know who they really are then make an application that is tailored to suit them as an organization. Draw parallels between your skills, experience and personality and what you could see yourself doing there.

Applying to companies that are not advertising may seem counterintuitive but it actually yields the highest level of success in job searching.

Cadet corps offer youth many activities Barry Stewart Hope Standard

If the best things in life are free, then the Canadian Army Cadets must be pretty high on the list.

While parents can shell out hundreds or thousands of dollars a year on sports or dance lessons for their kids, the cadet corps offer great activities for youth aged 12 to 18… and it’s all at no cost.

Monday night, for example, is target shooting, drill and leadership night at the Hope Legion Hall. Under the direction of the regiment leader, Lt. Hans Mulder, the cadets set up the range and brought out the Daisy 835C pellet air-rifles. Brett Creighton was tasked with counting out 10 pellets into each of the small plastic cups, so every shooter would have a metered number of shots.

Cadets sign a target card and pin it to their target stand, 10 metres from the shooting position.

I was invited to take part, so I lied about my age to be able to join the U-19 cadets on a temporary basis.

Fourteen-year-old Jackson Lott — a former phys-ed student of mine — was appointed as my trainer.

We slipped into our shooting jackets and attached a steadying strap around the biceps of our non-trigger arms. This would later be attached to a bracket at the front of the forestock.

We put on safety glasses and stood by our shooting mats.

When Lt. Mulder was satisfied that everything was in order, he gave the command to get in the prone position on the mats and then ran us through a series of commands leading to priming the air piston, loading the pellet, releasing the safety and firing when ready.

From that point on, we were free to fire off our 10 shots. Private Lott gave me tips on breathing, with the trigger being pulled on the exhale of the second breath. Without a magnifying scope, I couldn’t tell how well I was doing — but once all had finished shooting and had applied our safeties, we went and retrieved our targets.

All of mine were pulling slightly to the right of centre but nine of 10 were grouped so well that I could cover the holes with a nickel. With Private Lott’s coaching, I earned my first badge.

Shooting guns is fun — but there’s so much more offered by the cadet program, taught and led in a structured and respectful manner.

BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD “The aims of the program are to Cadets (and siblings) Jackson and Taylor Lott enjoy the Canadian Army Cadets’ shooting range on Monday nights at the Hope Legion.

instill good citizenship, good physical conditioning and stimulate an interest in the elements of the armed forces: navy, army and air force,” said Lt. Mulder. “Only about 10 per cent of cadets, nationally, actually go on to join the military — but the option is there.”

“On the army side, we offer expeditions, outdoor skills, survival skills and adventure training. Some of that will involve multiple-day camp-outs.

“We’ve got a cadet, Elisha JohnsonJensen from Agassiz, who will be going to the Rocky Mountain Cadet Training Centre near Canmore for six weeks this summer,” added the lieutenant. “She’ll be doing glacier climbing, white water kayaking, mountain biking and horseback riding — and her sister Nicole gets to go on a six-week exchange for adventure and expeditions in Wales.”

Eighteen-year-old Hope Secondary grad Isaiah Robinson had a similar experience at the Vernon camp last summer.

“We had a 15-day expedition between Vernon and Kamloops, covering 250 kilometres. We did river rafting, canoeing, hiking and mountain-biking,” said Robinson, who was one of four cadets — out of 900 at the camp — selected for the General J. E. Vance Leadership Award. He hopes to work at the camp this summer… his last as a cadet.

Cadet Richard Goodman of Yale has been recognized for his excellence in marksmanship and will be off on his own adventure this summer.

“Richard is going to the Connaught Army Cadet training centre in Ontario for six weeks,” said Lt. Mulder. “It’s known worldwide for service rifle competitions — and a lot of Olympic biathletes get their start there.”

“If he successfully completes his courses at Connaught, he could join the national team and compete against Commonwealth teams at Bisley, England.”

And remember: it won’t cost him a dime. All costs are jointly funded by the Department of National Defence and the Army Cadet League of Canada.

If you’d like to learn more about the Army Cadets in Hope, they will holding an open house at the Legion Hall on Monday, June 16 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Feel free to contact Captain Sam Ronholm at 604-799-8897 or by email at 1789trg@gmail.com

Presenting the

Class of 2014

Photos by: Barry Stewart and Shanon Fischer

B2 Hope Standard Thursday, June 5, 2014

In the words of Orrin Hatch, “There is a good reason they call these ceremonies commencements.

Graduation is not the end; it’s the beginning.”

Living in a tight-knit community has shaped us to become the individuals we are today. Not many people can say “I have a story that I can share about every single member of my grad class.” Everybody knows each other in Hope. We are one big family. From growing up in elementary school; sharing our snacks and having birthday parties where everyone is invited, just for the fact that you’ll get a lot of presents; to Grade 8 when we were called “smurfs.” Although it is time for us to go our separate ways, our memories will stay with us and Hope will always remain in our hearts.

It has been five years since we entered high school, yet it feels like yesterday when we struggled to open our lockers, or forgot the class we had next, but we were too nervous to ask anyone for help. Sometimes we walked the long way around the halls to avoid the dreaded grad hallway. We were vulnerable and naive. We were all thinking the same thing, “I can’t wait for Grade 12.” And now, here we are; the graduates who are moving forward with our lives, leaving high school behind.

Of course, we all know it wasn’t a fairy godmother saying “Bippity boppity boo” while waving a wand that got us here. You know, I am reminded of the movie “What about Bob?” It’s about a psychologist who loses his marbles after treating the loveable Bob, played by Bill Murray.

Before the psychologist loses his mind, of course, he tells his patient some great advice, which we would like to offer you today: baby steps.

I believe that is what got us here today. Baby steps from kindergarten to Grade 1, baby steps to C.E. Barry, or baby steps to the class down the

hall in Silver Creek, baby steps to high school, baby steps to our first class, to our first exams, baby steps to the office, baby steps down the grad hallway, baby steps up to the stage, and finally, baby steps to our last class.

So are we done with baby steps? Do we take baby steps for the rest of our lives? The choice is yours!

I’m going to continue with baby steps. And I’m going to take giant leaps.

We would like to take a minute to address all of you sitting before us, and those who couldn’t make it today, and thank you for all you’ve done for us. Thank you to our nurturing parents and family members, hardworking teachers, lovely secretaries, and the entire community of Hope. These wonderful young men and women would not be sitting up here today if it weren’t for your dedication to education. Thanks to you we have become listeners, communicators, leaders, and dreamers. As Walt Disney once said, “If you can dream it, you can do it.”

Our parents have been an essential part of our lives. They are the reason we’re here today. No matter what happens in our lives, all the challenges we face, our parents will always be there for you just like they have been for the past 17 years. Our parents have shown us undying love, even though we couldn’t always tell.

Our parents haves been holding our hand and watching our backs trying to make sure we venture the right pathway. No words could ever repay them because they have constantly put us first and they want us to be happy and successful, which we will be. What we have become, we owe it to you. We appreciate everything you do for us, even though we might not always express it. I think everybody in this room would like to say one thing to you, “Mom and dad, we love and

thank you for everything you have done!”

One important reason that we’re up here and can actually write a speech is because of our teachers. They have taught us everything from reading and writing, to math and science.

They have given us unconditional love and support. Our teachers are talented, patient, and awesome human beings, and as Margaret Riel said, “Being able to help someone learn something is a talent.” We are all incredibly grateful to our teachers because they have helped us reach our full potential and have constantly pushed us to be better.

To our administrators, what a challenging job! Thank you for inspiring us to lead and for understanding. We know you care about us and this is shown in your effort to support us in our endeavours. It’s because of you that our school feels safe, allowing us to have a healthy learning environment.

Thank you.

To our secretaries who have been so helpful when we were in Grade 8 and lost our time tables or forgot our locker combinations, we want to thank you for your support and patience.

Thank you to our grad class because you have impacted each of us one way or another. You have made us confident and we’ve come together in new and creative ways.

Thank you for participating in all our grad events. You made it happen and you have all become role models for others in and out of the school.

We can’t forget to thank one of the main reasons we are walking the stage today. You have always been there of us whether we just couldn’t figure out this one question on our chemistry lab, or all of them, or trying to do our socials project at two a.m., or simply when we were looking

Kamalpreet Singh

Phoebe Nickerson

for some advice. You have been a true friend and always will be because we could reach out to you whenever we needed. Thank you. Thank you so much for being there every step of the way. Thank you Google.

This is the time to go for it! Say yes to that questionable food item, go for a swim, go skydiving, travel with friends, say yes to that man asking if you would like fries with that! RISK IT ALL because you might not ever get the chance again. Dare to dream, graduates, because it was once said “In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take.”

Throughout our high school careers, we’ve learned, regardless of where it took place. To our fellow graduating classmates: we would both like to encourage you to remember a few things you’ve learned. First, be in the moment. Don’t fret over the things you can’t change and don’t be afraid of things that haven’t happen yet! Don’t dwell on the future and savour the spectacular moment you are in right now. To quote Eckhart Tolle: “Life is now. There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be.”

Second, we are supposedly a generation of technology users. The iGeneration, if you will. We are said to only communicate through our wireless devices. Let’s try and break the stereotype people will place on us and let’s not be a generation that abuses our technology. “I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots.” ~Albert Einstein. Let’s not be idiots.

Finally, when forced out of the routine of high school, let’s try to say “YES” to every adventure. Be brave.

As we move on to the next phase of our lives, we have learned so much from our friends, family, and this school. The aspirations we’ve made will shine through if we keep working hard. We’re moving on to fulfill our dreams. This is an end to our high school years, and our start to becoming adults and discovering endless opportunities. Thomas Edison said “Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.”

Don’t miss it! The five years we’ve spent together will remain in our heart and carry the memories we’ve made on our journey together. This is you. This is us. And, Hope is our story.

Class of 2014, it is our time. Our time isn’t measured by tests and assignments, but by the moments we have shared together. It’s time to make a new beginning, time to start a new chapter, time to turn over a new leaf, and whatever other clichés you can think of! It’s time to make this our time!
