The Hope Food Bank could be facing a crisis later this year if donations don’t meet the growing demand in the community. Last year, the food bank served 2,593 people. During the first four months of 2014, the food bank had 1,027 clients. Maclynne Bourquin, executive director of Hope Community Services, said at this rate, they’ll feed 4,108 people this year. “This was a dramatic jump for us. We’re talking about practically doubling the number of food hampers

we’re giving out,” said Bourquin. “We’re seeing more people each month and people are accessing it more often. It’s really concerning.” The increase in the number of people fed and the rise in the cost of food has depleted most food banks around the province, including the one in Hope. Bourquin said the food bank is being accessed not only by seniors, but by individuals and families with kids. “The people who are in need seem to be more in need than they have in the past,” she added. “We’ve been trying to increase the quality of the food that’s going out. The idea is to feed
people, but people can’t improve their lives if the food they’re eating is not (nutritious).” Community support has been key to the food bank’s survival and Bourquin says more will be needed this year to meet the increased demand. The food bank is specifically looking for meals in a can, canned fruits, canned vegetables, canned fish, canned soup, spaghetti sauce, and pasta noodles. Anyone who wants to donate fresh fruit, vegetables, or eggs can drop them off at the food bank on Wednesdays. There are several other ways to support the local food bank in Hope. Do-
nations can be dropped off in person at Hope Community Services (434 Wallace St.) A tax receipt is given for cash donations and to anyone that submits a till tape for their food donations. Donations can also be dropped off at Envision Financial through The Full Cupboard Program and the Hope Eagles host a monthly $5 dinner with a donation to the food bank. In addition, a new program at Cooper’s Foods allows the local food bank to benefit from returned pop cans. The grocery store also has a $5 food sharing coupon at each cash register. Hope Buy & Save Foods has donation tins at each cash register as well.

A B.C. Supreme Court justice has concluded the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. government are too far apart on wages and working conditions for mediation to be effective. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association and the BCTF confirmed Wednesday that Justice Stephen Kelleher has taken part in “exploratory” talks in recent days to seek an end to the teacher strike that wiped out the last two weeks of the school year. “The BCPSEA and the BCTF agreed that Mr. Justice Stephen Kelleher would be an acceptable mediator,” both groups said in a statement Wednesday. “He had some exploratory discussions with the parties and determined that mediation is not indicated at this time.” That brief statement was the

only thing the two sides agreed on. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the BCTF’s total compensation demands are still more than twice what other government unions have settled for, and the union is seeking hundreds of millions more for classroom conditions that have been at the centre of court actions in the bitter dispute. “There is no process and no mediator that can bridge this gap at this time,” Fassbender said. “To pretend otherwise only raises false expectations and serves to delay the tough decisions the BCTF executive needs to make to get to an affordable agreement.” BCTF president Jim Iker said the government placed unacceptable pre-conditions on wage negotiations going to mediation. “At this point, with the government maintaining entrenched positions that are
unfair and unreasonable, mediation will not be able to move forward,” Iker said. “We will keep the lines of communication open in July to restart bargaining if the government is ready to make a real effort and bring the necessary funding to the table.” BCPSEA has proposed a seven per cent pay increase over six years, plus a $1,200 signing bonus for an agreement ratified by the end of the year. The BCTF has countered eight per cent over five years with a proposed $5,000 bonus, to make up for a year the union has worked under an expired contract. BCPSEA has calculated the cost of the union’s position on class size and composition at $1.67 billion. That dispute has been the subject of a series of court actions and the B.C. Court of Appeal is expected to rule on it in the fall.

ed four-lane highway. The new maximum applies to the Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Kamloops, the Okanagan Connector (Highway 97C) from Aspen Grove to Peachland and Highway 19 from Parksville to Campbell River. The Coquihalla sections get new 120 km/h signs this week, and more changes will roll out this summer as sign crews put up new limits. In all, 35 sections of rural provincial highway totalling 1,300 are getting higher speed limits. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said limits are being raised where traffic studies show the vast majority of traffic is already going faster than the posted limit. A pilot project will test variable speed limits depending on volume and weather conditions. Digital signs that can display
different limits will be tested on sections of the Trans-Canada, Coquihalla and Sea-toSky highways. The Sea-to-Sky Highway gets an increase from 80 to 90 km/h from Horseshoe Bay to Squamish. Other increases are 80 to 100 km/h on Highway 3 from Manning Park West to Allison Pass, 90 to 100 km/h from Revelstoke to Golden and 100 to 110 km/h on Highway 97C from Merritt to Aspen Grove. RCMP opposed increasing speed limits on rural highways. ICBC representatives also expressed safety concerns, and will monitor areas with higher limits to see if the severity of crashes increases. Ministry statistics show the number of serious crashes on provincial highways has decreased 28 per cent since 2003, from
a combination of improved vehicle technology, driver education and enforcement. The ministry accepted recommendations from RCMP representatives to improve signs that encourage slower traffic to move to right lanes, and to clarify winter tire rules. The ministry is changing regulations to make tires with an “M&S” (mud and snow) symbol as well as those with a “mountain snowflake” (winter) symbol acceptable for roads requiring winter tires. New designs for wildlife warning signs, including lighted signs for high incident areas, are being installed. An updated sign reminding drivers to “Keep Right, Let Others Pass” is being installed, after people around the province expressed frustration about the slow vehicles in passing lanes.

News Ball hockey tournament Despite the downpour last Saturday, the charity ball hockey tournament in memory of Janice Carrat and Ronald Young exceeded the expectations of organizer Kevin Misumi. The event in Memorial Park raised about $4,600 for ALS Canada and the Oglethorpes from 100 Mile House were crowned the first annual champions. Misumi said all eight teams “showed great sportsmanship and there was some great road hockey played.” Many community members and family of Carrat and Young also stopped by the sport court to show support.

Memorial Park hosts weekly story time Story Time in the Park is once again offering free family literacy events throughout the summer. Local resident Heather Stewin started the weekly program in 2003 after realizing many kids in the community struggled to read. “The goal of Story Time is to keep kids reading over the summer and provide tools for parents and guardians to help their kids learn. Literacy is a vital foundation for all life skills and as a community, we want to help lay that foundation,” said Jodi McBride, executive director of Read Right Society. “Since Story Time began, the literacy and cognitive development rates in the Fraser-Cascade region have improved by 13 per cent. We want to keep that momentum going, increasing literacy and helping prepare kids for kindergarten. Ultimately, we hope to lay the foundation for a healthy future in our communities.” Story Time runs rain or shine weekly in Hope, Boston Bar, Agassiz and Harrison Hot Springs and hosts over 400 people each week. The goal is to provide a barrier-free literacy program and supports to families to increase literacy rates and reduce vulnerability rates amongst

children in the community. This year’s events include a weekly book read by a special guest, fun learning activities and games at each event, one free copy of the week’s book per family, and a free healthy snack. Story Time in the Park will rotate throughout communities as follows: Mondays, Boston Bar Family Place; Tuesdays, Hope Memorial Park; and Wednesdays, Agassiz Centennial Park (July only) and Harrison Hot Springs Sasquatch Provincial Park (August only). Story Time in the Park takes countless volunteer hours and about $60,000 per summer to plan and implement. The program has many sponsors including Fraser Valley Regional Library, District of Hope, Hope Community Services, Fraser Cascade Lower Canyon Forestry, Raise a Reader, Telus, Fortis, Canada Summer Jobs, Hope Fraternal Order of the Eagles, Envision Financial, The Cat’s Meow, Baker’s Books, Hope Gardner GMC, Buy and Save Foods and Camp Squeah.

The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is a number on sunscreen labels to indicate the relative sun protection the product gives. If you normally burn in 5 minutes without sunscreen, using a SPF 30 product will give you 150 minutes of protection. An SPF of 50 will give you 250 minutes of protection. Whatever sunscreen you use, be sure to apply it about a half hour before sun exposure and reapply, especially after swimming and sweating. Also apply enough...about a teaspoonful for each leg and
also the same amount for each of your chest, stomach and back and half-tsp each on arm, face, neck and ears. It’s sad to read stories of someone dying from a preventable disease. Meningitis is one of those. There is a vaccine available and the Centre for Disease Control recommends it be given to all children 11-18. Good personal hygiene is important as well as not sharing food, drink containers, utensils, towels and cosmetics. Regular handwashing is also important.
Speaking of immunization and prevention of disease, a recent analysis of the global economic effects of immunization shows that vaccinating our children saves billions in future direct and indirect costs to healthcare. As well, it saves over 42,000 lives and over 20 million cases of disease yearly. Vaccination works. Our pharmacists are knowledgeable about vaccines available to prevent disease.

Celebrating Canada’s 147th birthday The Canada Day Car Show & Shine in Memorial Park had a record 207 entries this year. A variety of classic and antique cars and trucks lined the grass area, everything from a 1912 Hudson to a 2011 Challenger, and a British Austin Healey to an American Corvette. “I think that we have built up a reputation for being an easy going, fun event,” said Scott Medlock, with Hope Motorsports Group. “Car show folks enjoy the drive to Hope from Vancouver, Kamloops, Kelowna etc. It is a nice place to spend an afternoon.” This year’s event had the largest turnout, best weather and most variety. In addition to the entries on the grass, at least another 30 cars were parked on the road. “Hope is a special place to so many of our visitors,” said Medlock. “As I walked around the show and talked to the car owners they all seem to have a wonderful story about why they love Hope. We also have a great group of car owners that live in Hope and they make up a good part of the show.” The July 1 festivities in Memorial Park also included live music with Shades O’Grey, Hope Mountain Market, Hope Brigade Days raffle, and smokies and hamburgers provided by the Hope Lions. On Tuesday night, Recreation, Culture, & Airpark Services hosted an evening lineup at Sixth Avenue Park featuring a performance by Po-co & Yowza, music by Andrew Allen, fire spinning with Vesta Fire Entertainment, a bouncy castle, s’more roasting, barbecue, kids games and activities, and a fireworks display by FireWx.

Opinion
Published at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press
Dairy farmers deserve support The price being paid for the cruelty exhibited in a video recently released to the media keeps climbing. It has already rightly cost the jobs of those who allegedly beat dairy cattle at Chilliwack Cattle Sales, and criminal charges are under review. But the tally hasn’t stopped there. The reputation of an entire industry, and the thousands of people who work in it, is now being so sullied it is breath-taking. The anger, hatred and derision displayed in online comments and in social media borders on hysterical. An online petition spurred dairy behemoth Saputo to force the BC Milk Marketing Board to backtrack on its earlier decision to rescind a suspension of milk collection from the farm. Now, every day thousands of litres of milk is being transported to the United States for destruction. But that penalty isn’t high enough for the online lynch mob. It’s already convicted the eight dairy workers of animal cruelty, as well as the people they worked for. Now it’s branded every dairy farmer in the country as a vicious sadist whose gleeful pursuit of profit comes at the cost of the animals in his or her care. To be clear, the behaviour portrayed in that video is abhorrent. But so are the actions of those trying to destroy the lives and livelihoods of so many. Agriculture is a critical part of Chilliwack’s economy, generating more than $700 million annually in economic activity. More than half of that can be attributed to dairy farms. Not only do dairy farmers help feed a hungry world, they create jobs, fuel associated businesses, and insulate us against the vagaries of a fluctuating global economy. None of this is an excuse for abuse. But to say that all must pay for the actions of a few is such a contortion of decency and justice it defies belief. Dairy farmers deserve our support. Not only because they need it right now, but because they’ve earned it. - Black Press
Life after the Tsilhqot’in decision B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher The Supreme Court of Canada’s landmark decision on aboriginal title held by the Tsilhqot’in Nation leaves many questions to be answered. Perhaps the biggest is this: Will British Columbia exist as we know it today by the end of this century? Or will it devolve into dozens of semi-autonomous regions, through treaties or similar court actions, as the only Canadian province that never completed historic treaties? The Tsilhqot’in decision appears to uphold the key finding of the 2007 trial, that 1,700 square kilometres of the Nemiah Valley west
of Williams Lake are essentially owned by the people who occupied it hundreds if not thousands of years ago. It’s not quite ownership. Federal and provincial jurisdiction still applies, and their authority varies with the strength of the aboriginal title claim. Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin ruled that the province overstepped its authority by issuing logging permits in the valley in 1983. McLachlin noted that lawyers for B.C. first argued that the logging was to control mountain pine beetle, then dropped that argument in its first appeal. She also upheld the decision of the trial judge, onetime NDP leadership contender David Vickers, who rejected B.C.’s position that the economic value of the timber to the province overrode the then-vaguely defined aboriginal title.
OFFICE HOURS
Tuesday - Friday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Here’s McLachlin’s definition: “The nature of aboriginal title is that it confers on the group that holds it the exclusive right to decide how land is used and the right to benefit from those uses, subject to the restriction that the uses must be consistent with the group nature of the interest and the enjoyment of the land by future generations.” That’s not land ownership in the fee-simple sense of the term. It locks in communal ownership, which I and many others have argued is at the root of the poverty seen in many aboriginal communities. Another big question: Is there any future for B.C.’s 20-year-old treaty process, or will this precedent-setting case send more First Nations to court, or to the barricades as the Tsilhqot’in did on a logging road in 1983? One of the unique advantages
Standard
that have emerged from the handful of modern treaties in B.C. is that aboriginal communities have more options in land ownership. By voluntary agreement, they can convert land to fee-simple ownership, making it available for mortgage or sale. Modern treaty holders also get out from under the federal Indian Act, which remains in force despite this latest decision. One of the big questions asked in the days after the Tsilhqot’in decision was this: Is the Northern Gateway pipeline project dead? None of the aboriginal communities along the pipeline route has this kind of declared aboriginal title. Few if any would have a similar strength of claim as the Tsilhqot’in, who fought a small war to defend their territory from a wave of gold seekers in the 1860s. One that does is the Haida Nation, whose occupation of a beau-

tiful group of islands was long defended militarily, and never challenged by any other aboriginal group. Among others, the Haida Nation was represented in the Tsilhqot’in case as interveners. Council of the Haida Nation president Peter Lantin said after the decision that his team is preparing its own aboriginal title case for trial. Few doubt that this assertion of title will be successful, either by negotiation or court ruling. But there is a unique aspect to the Haida claim that would set another precedent. They claim title to the ocean around Haida Gwaii, a challenge to anyone wishing to sail tankers through. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Promotion opportunities in Hope missed I am continuously dismayed at what appears to be all talk with too little action when it comes to promoting Hope. There is much bemoaning our declining population, shortage of young people and dwindling businesses yet we appear to be missing one of the simplest and low cost methods of encouraging visitors. Yes, there is a new logo and a attractive sign (soon to be hidden by trees) but I am aware of little else, other than the posts on the (Advantage?) Hope Facebook page. Have you noticed there is no evident promotion of Hope northbound on Highway 7 and westbound on the Coquihalla and Crowsnest where the largest volume of traffic and potential visitors is missed. Yet opportunity exists... a sad and derelict sign hiding behind the trees before exit 173 needs a good facelift and clearing of trees (it certainly sends out the wrong image of Hope as it is). On the Coquihalla a large pull-off about 25 kilometres or so before exit 173 would make an excellent stopping point for travellers and the inclusion of an information board with route planning, activities and services in Hope and maybe include some promotion of business opportunities! My quick research, using 2013 data from the B.C. Traffic Data Program (http://www.th.gov.bc.ca/trafficdata/tradas/mainmap.asp) indicates there is an annual daily flow of traffic from Highway 3 (Crowsnest) of 2,400 vehicles, 10,500 on Highway 5 (Coquihalla), 2,700 on Highway 1 (Trans Canada - Fraser Canyon) and 2,500 on Highway 7 (Lougheed). That’s more than 18,000 (9,000 westbound) vehicles per day passing through Hope! You can almost double that numbers if you look only at the peak summer months. It really is time to step up the promotion and image of Hope! Stan Kirkpatrick

Strike a ‘grave concern’ for everyone ment demands it will be almost impossible. Other unions working within the government seem to win much larger settlements without much difficulty but teachers are sometimes even belittled through the media as glorified
babysitters! Why is that? This government would like teachers to be an ‘essential service’ but they don’t have the same life or death responsibility that health care workers, firemen or police have. And, if class sizes are increased and

Bitumen would never leave tar sands with refinery in Fort McMurray In regards to your editorial on the Northern Gateway Pipeline (Gateway a ways off, June 26). Personally, and with all due respect, I think the answer lies in Fort McMurray itself. Why not build the refinery right there,
then the bitumen never leaves the tar sands. This would also increase the safety of our rivers and pristine wilderness.Fort McMurray could then become the distribution and recycling centre. If we built pipelines for distribution

Hope Golf Club celebrates big milestone Ernestine Franson Contributor
Canada Day marked the 50th anniversary of the Hope Golf Club. The official opening in 1964 began with Bill Amm and Gil Jacobs cutting the ribbon on the new bridge. Village chairman Paul Scherle drove the first ball, followed by Carl Anderson and Golf Club president Keith Hannah. But the history of Hope’s golf course actually began several years before the opening ceremonies. It was a long way to drive to Chilliwack from Hope to have a game of golf, but many people did it for several years. However, that changed in 1959 and 1960, when an informal group of Hope sportsmen who were tired of having to drive to Meadowlands in Chilliwack for their game of golf decided to look for reasonably priced land closer to home. They zeroed in on Crown land on the east side of town, a spectacular site nestled between Thacker Mountain, and the Coquihalla and Fraser rivers. On Sept. 8, 1962, the Hope Golf and Country Club was officially formed under the Societies Act with a constitution and bylaws

signed by R.S. Scott, pharmacist; A. Cory, pharmacist; K. C. Hannah, merchant; I. F. Corbett, merchant; and J. R. Kennedy, merchant, and was witnessed by A. M. McAlpine, chartered accountant. Irvine Corbett, the MLA for Yale-Lillooet and the new president of the club, was strongly in favour of this site for the new golf club and lobbied his good friend and hunting companion Ray Williston, Minister of Lands and Forests, for government permission. A 20-year lease was granted to the Town of Hope at no cost, to be renewed every 20 years as long as the golf club remained solvent. Work preparing the site and building the course began almost immediately. Gordon McKay, a former greenskeeper at Chilliwack, was hired to design the layout of the course. He was aided by young engineer Bob Hasell and T. Brayshaw. Gil Jacobs, a young engineer working for Emil Anderson Construction at the time, recalled in his history of the club: “With the land problem solved, activity was fast and furious. The golf club would never have been built if Hope had not been a construction and logging town. Bill Amm took on the task of building the golf course with the full backing of Carl Anderson and the use of Emil Anderson Construction equipment fleet and the EAC shop. Many others provided equipment and supplies including G and F Logging, Corbetts, Roy Morrow, Henry Hockin, and many others. Firms from out of the Hope area who supplied equipment included Finning Tractor, Vancouver Equipment, and many others. All this machine work was backed by volunteer workers, material was donated and just plain hard work by all concerned made it all possible. Many Cat operators worked all week at their logging or construction jobs and then spent Saturdays and Sundays working at the golf club operating machines.” By May of 1963, all nine fairways had been rough-cleared and the club already had 80 members. They were continuing to recruit new members. A full page ad appeared in The Hope Standard showing photos of all the fairways. It included a request for financial support and reminded Hope residents of the economic benefits of a golf course in bringing visitors to the town. But there was a major hurdle: easy access to the golf course. Engineers Bill Amm

and Gil Jacobs, aided by many volunteers including Joe McLarty, Roy Hayashi, Norm Cosulich, and John McPhail, took on the job of designing and building a suspension bridge across the Coquihalla River. At the annual general meeting in February 1965, president Keith Hannah noted the installation of a water system including a well, completion of power hookup with much volunteer work, and completion of the bridge. By early 1965, the former tourist information office had been moved to the course to function as the clubhouse and pro shop and included a small camp kitchen donated by Emil Anderson. Construction of a putting green in front of the new pro shop was under way and parking lot gravelling was completed. By 1966, the club had 212 members and the course was ready to be rated for handicapping to allow for tournament play. Gil Jacobs became the new president; John Mulski, vice-president; Isobel Karst, secretary; and Rena Titmus, treasurer. Two-year directors were Bill White, Tom Tidball, and John Nyberg. One-year directors were Al Kelley, Reg Scott, and Dr. E. Murakami. Lady golfers held their first meeting this year. Mrs. John Mulski was elected captain and Mrs. Ed Dyson, vice-captain. Bill White wrote several light-hearted news items for The Hope Standard during this early period. He often ended his articles with the admonition, “Good Golfing, and keep your d . . . head down.” Good advice,

even 50 years later! Frank Rolufs scored the first hole-in-one on No. 7 on July 13, 1966. The fourth annual Junior Golf College for ages 12 to 21 was held in Hope in the summer of 1966. Sponsored by BC Pro Golfers Association, the college was instructed by 10 senior pros from around B.C. Nine Hope boys attended, joined by 49 others from B.C. and Washington. Hope boys were Gerry Dyson, Graham Mulski, Dale Karst, Craig Lightbody, Gordon Younie, David LaBar, Randy Rogers, Ricky Hannah, and David Robertson. Eighty golfers attended the first annual Men’s Open Tournament (later called the Coquihalla Open) in June 1967. Jack Striker won low gross with his score of 152 in the 36-hole medal play tournament. In his history of the course, Gil Jacobs remembers, “The Coquihalla Open became an instant success and was overbooked every year. A number of very low handicappers returned to play for many years. Two trophies were made for this event, the Bill Amm trophy for low gross and the Ed Dyson trophy for low net. Bill Amm and Ed Dyson were original directors of the Hope Golf and Country Club and died of heart attacks at far too young an age.” Although the Hope golf course has experienced flooding to some degree on a regular basis, a major storm on Oct. 31, 1967, caused substantial flooding throughout Hope.

Ron Hannah was able to sail his little boat, Widowmaker, from Younie’s patio on 7th Avenue all the way to fairways No. 4 and No. 5. The course was in excellent shape, however, by the time the men’s Coquihalla Open took place. Bill Mawhinney, Meadowlands pro, with birds on four holes, set a course record with a 141 total. In 1969, the Coquihalla Open was won by 17-year-old Langley golfer Charlie Grant with a new course record score of 139 to take the Bill Amm Memorial Trophy. Doug Barker became the new president at the annual meeting; Colin Robertson, vice-president; Mrs. C. LaBar, secretary; Mrs. F. Tudor, treasurer. Two-year directors were Sab Yano, Don McKay, and Marvin Cope. One-year directors are Harvey Grant, Alf North, and Charles Barnes. Over 90 golfers took part in the First Annual Autumn Leaves Tournament held in 1971. Meanwhile, membership had grown to 300 people and it was evident that a larger clubhouse was needed. In November, 1971, plans for construction were approved at a general meeting attended by 50 people at the town hall. Members of the building committee included Doug Barker, Carl Anderson, Reg Scott, Gil Jacobs, Aaron Davidson, Jim Mitchell, and Al North. The clubhouse was officially opened in December 1972.
In July, 1973, Greg Mulligan won the junior tournament with a score of 82. The tournament was sponsored by the Royal Canadian Legion and Dyson’s Men’s and Boys’ Wear. The Coquihalla Men’s Open in 1983 was won by Jerry Day of Campbell River, but it was Wendy McGregor who caught the headlines. In spite of disguising her long hair under a cap and wearing a loose shirt, she was caught after playing five holes. She claimed it was done “all in good fun,” and not a women’s rights protest. Massive flooding in the Coquihalla on Jan. 4, 1984, washed away the Golf Course bridge. In April of the next year, the provincial government emergency program offered financial support to the Town of Hope to build a new onelane suspension bridge. That bridge is officially opened in August. Further improvements of the course continued over the years: an equipment maintenance shop, equipment and materials storage shed, parking lot paving, and riprapping of the Coquihalla River bank. In 2007, the suspension bridge was replaced with a new steel and concrete bridge, funded by the provincial government, District of Hope, Emil Anderson Construction, and the Hope Golf Club. In 2011, Kerry and Claudette Krahn took over as managers of the Hope Golf Course. Past president Jim Frith has

summed up Hope Golf Club’s history in a recent presentation: “Throughout the 50 year history of the Hope Golf Club, members have volunteered countless hours of their labour and skills towards the stewardship of the land, continually making improvements and providing the district with a valuable recreation facility. Members have also donated building materials, use of construction equipment and money for capital projects. Volunteers clean up debris following winter and wind storms. Planting flower beds, raking sand traps, rolling greens, falling dangerous trees and maintaining buildings is all done by club volunteers. “Numerous work bees throughout the season enable us to maintain a spectacular gem for everyone’s enjoyment. The golf course has been flood damaged numerous times by the Fraser and Coquihalla rivers. Recently, each of these past three years, the course has sustained floods. Repairs and cleanup of flood damage is just one of the many tasks volunteers undertake to help keep the golf course viable. “The club has continually re-invested all monies generated back into the maintenance and operation of the golf course. Without the generous spirit of club members volunteering there would not be a golf course for the citizens and district of Hope to speak proudly of.”
Sending along our congratulations for 50 years of golfing in Hope.

Aboriginal communities across B.C. are celebrating a court ruling that redefines ownership of their traditional territory outside reserves. The Supreme Court of Canada has upheld the Tsilhqot’in Nation’s claim to aboriginal title over 1,700 square kilometres in the Nemiah Valley west of Williams Lake, in a landmark ruling with effects on land claims across the province. In a unanimous decision, the country’s highest court rejected the B.C. government’s argument that aboriginal title should be restricted to settlement sites and other places frequently occupied by semi-nomadic aboriginal people before European contact. Joe Alphonse, tribal chief of the Tsilhqot’in Nation, said the ruling is a victory in a struggle that had its roots in deadly conflict with a wave of gold seekers during the 1860s. He said the communities need more control over resources to support more people living on reserves. “We didn’t fight in this case to separate from Canada,” Alphonse told a news conference in Vancouver last Thursday. “We fought in this case to get recognized, to be treated as equals in a
meaningful way.” Settlement sites and others used for hunting and fishing were exhaustively studied in a 2003 B.C. trial that granted broad title but was later overturned by the B.C. Court of Appeal. “The province’s criticisms of the trial judge’s findings on the facts are primarily rooted in the erroneous thesis that only specific, intensively occupied areas can support Aboriginal title,” the eight Supreme Court of Canada justices agreed in a unanimous ruling released last Thursday. The Tsilhqot’in case was strengthened by evidence that “prior to the assertion of sovereignty the Tsilhqot’in people repelled other people from their land and demanded permission from outsiders who wished to pass over it,” the judges wrote. The case began in 1983 when the B.C. government issued timber permits for the region and the Xeni Gwet’in, one of six Tsilhqot’in communities, went to court to stop the logging. Haida Nation president Peter Lantin said the Tsilhqot’in case strengthens his island community’s title claim, which is being prepared for court. The Haida claim includes the surrounding ocean off B.C.’s
North Coast, which Lantin expects to use against plans for oil tankers from the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal. Despite the long-running dispute and the Tsilhqot’in Nation’s refusal to take part in treaty talks, the B.C. aboriginal relations ministry signed a three-year “stewardship agreement” with the group June 10. The agreement gives the Tsilhqot’in $670,000 per year to implement a forestry strategy and other resource development. B.C. Attorney General Suzanne Anton said the Tsilhqot’in ruling, like other aboriginal title cases, emphasizes that negotiated settlements are preferable to court action to settle claims in the majority of the province that are not covered by treaties. NDP leader John Horgan said the decision shows the B.C. government should have accepted the 2007 decision by B.C. Supreme Court Justice David Vickers. “Instead, the B.C. Liberal government wasted millions of scarce tax dollars and created seven more years of uncertainty for investors and communities, by blindly pursuing a legal theory that was unanimously and soundly rejected today by the Supreme Court of Canada,” Horgan said.

Public Notice of Open House Nahatlatch Provincial Park
Cycling for charity
The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure invites the public to attend an open house regarding a proposed boundary adjustment to Nahatlatch Provincial Park.
Montreal native Daniel Fugère stopped in Hope on Sunday as part his cross-Canada cycling trip to raise awareness and funds for people who suffer from chronic pain through the Canadian Pain Coalition. He departed from Halifax in early May, and was expected to arrive in Vancouver by Canada Day. Fugère’s father, a doctor in Montreal, specializes in treating patients with chronic pain. During his time growing up, Fugère noticed that pain is not widely discussed among the medical field, nor is it well recognized by the media, by social institutions, and by the general public. He decided to challenge himself through the cross-Canada journey and dedicate his time and efforts to supporting individuals suffering from debilitating pain. As of June 30, Fugère has raised $6,774.40.
The proposed area is approximately 1.5 hectares, and is comprised of two unsurveyed tracts of land. It is intended that the land will be offered to Boston Bar First Nation as part of a land exchange. The ministry invites comments on the application during the public comment period, which runs from July 7 to August 22, 2014. Information on the application will be available at the open house. Project staff will be on hand to provide information and answer questions. The drop-in Open House will take place on: Friday, July 11, 2014 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Anderson Creek Campground Boston Bar A summary of the application and information for submitting comments will be available at www.th.gov.bc.ca/Nahatlatch.

Work hard and show your skills… and someone might notice. That’s how it turned out for 16-year-old Tre Loewen. Tre (pronounced “Tray”) was playing goalie for the Fraser Valley team at the provincial aboriginal soccer playdowns at Seabird Island last fall. His team placed third out of five — but Loewen’s skills were noted and he was placed on the tournament’s all-star list. Fast forward to early June, the team that won the Seabird tournament, Team Northwest, invited Loewen to join them as their keeper when they go to the North American Indigenous Games in Regina Saskatchewan. Team Northwest is based out of Hazelton, which is sending U16 and U18 boys’ teams to the games. Team manager Toni Muldoe said the U18 team doesn’t have a full roster and their current goalie wants to play out in the field. “Tre was our first pick off the all-star list,” said Muldoe. “He was one of the better goalies there.” Contacting Loewen wasn’t easy, so the Hazelton team asked a Fraser Valley coordinator to track him down. “We met up with the woman, that was trying to get a hold of us, at Walmart in Chilliwack,” said Loewen. “I have to pay $310 and get my gear and spending money. “I’m going this weekend to Hazelton, for a fundraiser tournament,” he added. It will be a long drive. “We’re five hours northwest of Prince George and three hours from Prince Rupert,” said Muldoe. “We’re hoping for seven or eight teams. It’s a men’s tournament but we’ll be playing up. The boys won in a men’s tournament last week.” Loewen is used to playing amongst men, as he played for the Sto:lo Braves men’s team in Division 4a in the Fraser Valley last winter. The Hazelton teams will be flying out of Terrace but Loewen will fly from Vancouver with other athletes who are going to the games, which run from July 20 to 27. The games attract aboriginal athletes from all provinces and territories of Canada and 13 regions of the U.S.A. Events include track and field, canoe and kayak, archery, badminton, basketball, golf, lacrosse, rifle shooting, softball, volleyball, swimming, wrestling and soccer. B.C. will be sending 550 athletes. Loewen is the second Hope-based athlete to play soccer at the North American Indigenous Games in recent years. Tyler Paul-Marino went to the games in Denver in 2006, where his team won gold. He also played at the Cowichan games in 2008, where his team placed second. In both years, it was Saskatchewan that Paul-Marino’s team faced in the finals. This time, the hosts won’t have to worry about jet lag.
