New plan proposed for Station House Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

The district of Hope is looking into the feasibility of taking over control and operation of the Station House. Tammy Shields, executive director of AdvantageHOPE, presented a business case to council on Monday night that would see the historic building serve as the community’s tourist centre and museum. “This asset we feel belongs to the community and it’s in jeopardy,” said Shields. “Time is of the essence because of the deteriorating building. We have a lot of gratitude to everyone involved for us to get to this point here, and especially to the volunteers at the Station House. Without their efforts over the years, we wouldn’t have this piece of our community’s history.

POSITION SPRINKLER SO WATER LANDS ON THE LAWN AND NOT ON PAVED AREAS.

We definitely want to celebrate the legacy of those efforts.” The Station House is prominently located at the junction of Hope Princeton Way and Water Avenue. The building was originally built in 1916 by the Great Northern Railway and was relocated to its present site in 1985. It is currently occupied by the Hope Station House Community Arts & Heritage Society. However, the provincial government owns the land and has declined to renew the license until repairs and deficiencies dating back to at least 2010 are completed. The Society is currently occupying the building with no formal term agreement in place. In October 2013, AdvantageHOPE attended a regular meeting of the Society to present a proposal that

would see them transfer interest in the property to AdvantageHOPE. A memorandum of understanding (MOA) was signed with AdvantageHOPE agreeing to adhere to three principles in readapting the property – preservation of the building, future use benefitting the whole community, and celebration of the Station House legacy. However, at a subsequent special meeting of the Society, membership voted by secret ballot to try and stay in occupancy. AdvantageHOPE has since taken steps to follow through on the MOA, which included engagement with district staff, having a district building inspector visit the site, tour of the property with Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness, communication with the province, and attending

a followup meeting with the Society. AdvantageHOPE is now lobbying the district to assert ownership over the building and enter into a new agreement with the province to occupy the property. The district would provide a $100,000 initial contribution, which would be offset by the relocation of the Hope Visitor Centre and Museum Complex to the Station House. Shields said that investment can be leveraged further through grants and other funding opportunities. “We think that the visitor centre and museum’s current location is a bit of a lost opportunity,” she said. “Most of our traffic comes into us at Exit 170, but most of it goes down Old Hope Princeton Way.”

STAGE TWO

WATERING RESTRICTIONS IN EFFECT As per District of Hope Water Regulation Bylaw No. 1271, 2009. Watering is permitted on alternate odd or even calendar days based on civic addresses during the hours of 5:00 a.m. until 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. until September 30, 2014. Hand watering is still permitted on any day of the week. Any concerns should be directed to Mr. Vince Coles, Utilities Foreman, at 604-869-2333.

agreement while the appeal proceeds. But a BCTF spokesman said it’s the province not teachers who want an escape hatch, adding it suggests the government fears it will lose in court again and is seeking to block that outcome. The Liberal government has promised to pay parents $40 a day for each child under 13 who misses school if the strike continues. Various organizations and businesses are scaling up their day camp and other supervised care offerings for September in anticipation of a continued school shutdown. The province also promised Tuesday to cover supported child development costs for inschool hours for special needs children now accessing services. Fassbender on Monday reiterated the government’s position that it has no desire to legislate the teachers back to work.

union’s past court victories over the province on the stripping of contract terms on class size and special needs support. The province is appealing the latest court ruling against it. Also gaining prominence in recent days has been an opt-out clause that the government has tabled that would allow either side to terminate a new collective agreement if it dislikes the ultimate court outcome from either the B.C. Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court of Canada. An education ministry spokesman said he was surprised it has become an issue now. It was disclosed in mid-June by government negotiators who pitched it as a “pragmatic and creative” way to give the union comfort it wouldn’t be handed a massive defeat in court and could therefore shelve those issues and negotiate an interim

ister Peter Fassbender and government negotiator Peter Cameron were to meet Wednesday afternoon in Victoria, raising hopes for some movement. Teachers have also stepped up picketing as both sides prepare for the strike to stretch into September. A mass rally outside the premier’s Vancouver cabinet offices is also set for Sept. 5. Veteran mediator Vince Ready is monitoring the talks and has indicated he will step into full mediation if it would be productive to do so. Both sides blame the other for a gulf between positions that’s too wide for Ready to attempt to bridge. The province says the teachers’ pay and benefits demands remain far in excess of settlements reached with other public sector unions.

Country star Aaron Pritchett is headlining the entertainment lineup at Brigade Days next weekend Local artist Roger Dalton and guitarist Jerry Doucette will kick off the Friday night lineup at the Sixth Avenue Sports Bowl along with Vancouver’s country-rock band Me and Mae, who are currently on tour across Canada promoting their debut album Off the Rails. Pritchett will then take to the stage with his high energy set, featuring hits like Hold My Beer, Lets Get Rowdy, New Frontier, and Suntan City. “We wanted to go as big as we could this year and he was there for us,” said Jeff Smith, president of the Brigade Days committee. “We’re trying to grow the festival. The more participants we get to the festival, the more money it provides for the upcoming years and we hope to expand it. We knew that booking an act like (Aaron Pritchett) would attract people from out of town into Hope.”

The Sports Bowl gates open at 5 p.m. on Sept. 5 and there will be a Brigade Days opening ceremony prior to the concert starting at about 7 p.m. Mike Barker will light up the sky with a fireworks show following the concert Saturday (Sept. 6) kicks off at 10 a.m. with the annual parade along Wallace Street. Hope Community Services will be collecting nonperishable food items for the food bank along the route. Hope Motorsports Group presents 4x4 and mini stock races on Saturday at the Sports Bowl, as well as a demolition derby and mini stock races on Sunday (Sept. 7). The action gets underway at 1 p.m. both days. In Sixth Avenue Park, there will be a beer garden, gold panning demonstrations with Yukon Dan, sheep and duck herding, and a BMX and skateboarding exhibition throughout the weekend. The Golden Agers Club is providing bingo from 1-3 p.m. on Saturday at the curling rink as well as a pancake breakfast Sunday

morning. A free concert on Saturday night at the Sports Bowl will feature Robert Roland. On Sunday afternoon, there will be a magic show with Gary Savard at the fairgrounds and a free swim at the rec centre. A raffle draw will close the weekend festivities on Sunday. A quad, home theatre system, and $1,000 travel voucher are up for grabs. New to Brigade Days this year is activities in Memorial Park on Saturday, running from 12-5 p.m. The Aldergrove Thunderbird Fast Draw Club will be putting on a show and there will

be booths promoting outdoor activities in the area. There will also be inflatable games from Vancouver’s Partyworks, including the big red balls featured in the TV show Wipeout, a giant fire truck slide and maze. All games are $1 with a Brigade Days wristband or $2 without. Bucky the Beaver will be in the park as well, courtesy of Fraserway RV, with kids games and activities. On Saturday night, there will be an outdoor movie in Memorial Park by the bandshell starting at about 8:30 p.m. Popcorn and pop will be handed out by the Hope Legion.

The two-pitch softball tournament, in memory of Caesar Soares, will also run throughout the weekend at the Sixth Avenue and C.E. Barry school ball diamonds. Fourteen teams from Hope, Agassiz, Chilliwack and Abbotsford will play a minimum of four games starting on Friday. The finals will take place on Sunday and cash prizes will be awarded to the top four teams. “We’re trying to provide the best bang for your buck,” said Smith. “There’s tons of family fun. We’re trying to make sure we have something for everyone.” Brigade Days wristbands provide entry into all the events. They are available in advance at Romano’s, Pharmasave, Fields, Blue Moose, Lordco, Shelly’s Hair Stop, Canyon Cable, Toy’s Pharmacy, Gardner GM, Hope Signcrafters, Hair Trends and Jimmy’s Pub in Agassiz. Reserved seating for the Friday night concert is also available for $30. For more information about the 46th annual Brigade Days, visit hopebrigadedays.com

Shields also pointed out that the current Hope Visitor Centre and Museum site is in need of capital investment in the near future, not only for aesthetics but for major repair/replacement of outdated building systems including heating, plumbing and electrical. Mayor Susan Johnston said the

possibility of the Station House being Hope’s welcome mat is very exciting. She pointed out that it’s time to “bite the bullet” and do something to make this happen, a view shared by Coun. Gerry Dyble. “I agree something needs to be done with that property,” said Dyble. “I am supportive of this and I think it speaks to the com-

munity and it speaks to where we want to go in our vision. We can’t be shortsighted in our thoughts. It would be prudent of us to look at the feasibility.” Coun. Donna Kropp and Coun. Ron Smith both supported the initiative but raised concerns about the perception of the Society being pushed out of the building. Kropp said she’d like to

hear from all stakeholders before making a decision on the future of the Station House. “I think the facility overall would be a great attraction. I like the goal and vision but I don’t want to be part of a coup and I don’t think the district should be doing that,” added Smith. Staff will report back to council at a special meeting on Sept. 29.

Gold fever in the Fraser Canyon Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

The Fraser River Gold Panning Championships returned to Anderson Creek Campground in Boston Bar over the weekend. The event saw 158 panners – 27 more than last year – from around B.C. and Alberta compete in several different events to see who could recover a predetermined amount of gold flakes from a bucket of pay dirt the fastest. “A little bit of gold fever is had by all because it’s a beautiful mineral that everybody loves to have,” said event organizer Dan Moore, who is better known as Yukon Dan. “I would say there was 20-25 per cent new people this year which is great. It’s always good to see new people come out. We show them how it’s done, give them practice opportunities and then they get in there. Roughly 90 per cent of the people that camped out this year have already booked for next year.” It takes over 35 volunteers to run the Fraser River Gold Panning Championships each year and planning starts 10 months in advance. The event kicked off with two days of workshops and demonstrations in Yale. Gold panning competitions began on Saturday, with events for children, teens, adults, seniors and professionals. Numerous prizes were then handed out on Sunday following the finals. There were also metal detecting competitions for adults, teens, children and three person teams. The first place winner of the adult metal detecting competition was Matthew Kelly who won a meteor-

New Highway Thru Hell season Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

The new season of Highway Thru Hell will highlight the challenges of running operations in two provinces. Last season, Jamie Davis Heavy Rescue lost a significant amount of business in B.C. when a new competitor scooped up half the recoveries, forcing Jamie Davis to seek new opportunities to off-set the restrictions. Taking a gamble, he moved into Alberta to tackle Highways 881 and 63, setting up a second operation out of Lac La Biche while maintaining headquarters in Hope. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This season is going to be exciting because of the two locations. The fact that all us guys are split up in different places has changed the whole template,â&#x20AC;? said Davis, pointing out that the company has tripled in size in the last year and a half and there are now more than 40 trucks in the fleet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Business is booming in Alberta in comparison to what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing in Hope. With the competition and the economy in British Columbia being so hard, the status quo now is we utilize more of our older, paid for trucks in Hope because it just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t justify new equipment.â&#x20AC;? Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Highway 881 runs north 300 kilometres through remote forest, muskeg, and tundra between Lac La Biche and Fort McMurray. On a route supplying more energy to the U.S. than Saudi Arabia, hundreds of millions of dollars of heavy equipment must be moved daily on this narrow, two-lane highway into newly-discovered oil and gas fields. Almost 60,000 shift workers are in camps serviced by Highway 881, and on shift-change day, thousands of workers need to get home. Davis sent his best drivers and trucks to the Alberta oil patch and tasked Adam Gazzola to manage the new Alberta startup. His crew includes Colin McLean, a city driver fresh from Vancouver who has to earn Gazzolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s respect. Deep snow, bitter cold, and big recoveries that dwarf most loads in B.C. push Gazzolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team to the limit.

SUBMITTED PHTOO

A collision on Highway 1 west of Hope that left wine scattered over the highway will be featured in season three of Highway Thru Hell, which premieres Sept. 2.

Back in B.C., Davis faces more challenges this season. During the heaviest snowfall and worst avalanche conditions in decades, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left with a skeleton crew of new hires and old trucks in his battle to keep the Coquihalla Highway open. New drivers include Howie Irwin, a highly-skilled heavy recovery vet who used to work the Coquihalla for Davis and his brother before buying his own truck and moving to the city; and Don Starr, a 20-year mountain veteran with MacGyver-like ingenuity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This season you can really see the differences between the types of weather. Hope has heavy, wet snow conditions versus dry, blowing snow and colder temperatures in Alberta,â&#x20AC;? said Davis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The brutal conditions there are hard on people. The cold weather really takes a toll on the equipment and tunes us up a bit as to the conditions out there.â&#x20AC;? Highway safety is a major part of the show and Davis hopes the added exposure in Alberta will help reduce crashes, as it did on the Coquihalla Highway. Accidents locally reduced 36 per cent the first year and 50 per cent the second. Highway Thru Hell continues to grow in popularity each season and is now broadcast in about 170 countries around the world. Season two was No. 1 in its time slot on Canadian entertainment specialty television among all key adult and

male demographics, and was the No. 3 Canadian entertainment specialty program among adults 25-54 and 18-49 overall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve certainly been through highs and lows in the years of the show. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some good days and bad days, and the show tells how tough it is to be in the business,â&#x20AC;? said Davis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, I think the town of Hope benefits huge with tourism. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got people that stop in Hope now to come and visit. We do up to seven tours of the shop a day at times. When the film crews are here, they spend huge money too.â&#x20AC;?

Opinion

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

B.C. education misfire With less than a week left before students are supposed to return to the classroom, there seems little reason to think they will. Despite insistence from both sides that they want an agreement reached by Sept. 2, school yards will likely remain silent. Indeed, as the clock ticked down last Thursday, government and the teachers’ union were still trading shots, this time it was over Education Minister’s Peter Fassbender’s comments in the media that, according to the BC Teachers’ Federation, broke an agreed-to media blackout. Of course, few believed that the two sides would find a negotiated settlement amid the lazy days of summer. The trajectory has always been toward a final showdown – one that is still coming. It is, after all, the government that holds all the cards. The BC Liberals are early in their (strong) mandate, meaning they are better able to weather the public backlash over the dispute. They have in their pocket a raft of public sector settlements that suggest a negotiated agreement is possible. And while there are many who are angered by the government’s bargaining tactics, there are many others who argue the BCTF is asking too much and teachers have gone too far. The government also knows that teachers cannot stay off the job much longer. Their strike fund is dwindling, and their resources are drying up. And they know that those teachers who get fed up and leave the profession can be replaced by the hundreds of education graduates churned out each year by universities in B.C. and across the country. Meanwhile, parents who may feel the sting of increased childcare costs should the strike continue, have been offered the salve of a $40-a-day payment. BCTF negotiators may be hoping for a legislated settlement, one that would allow them to face their membership as bruised but not beaten combatants. But the fact is they have played their hand poorly. They have cost their members money that no settlement will recover. They have alienated their CUPE colleagues who suffer every day the schools remain closed. And they have underestimated the will of a government weary of more than two decades of conflict. - Black Press

Ruts in road to farmland changes B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher The month-long Agricultural Land Commission consultation closed Aug. 22, and the B.C. government is compiling the feedback received from a province-wide tour and invitation to comment. I can’t tell you much about the official input. The consultation sessions were by invitation only, with no media allowed, and the submissions via website are also not public. I reached Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick as he was traveling around B.C. with his camper van, conducting his own meetings with farmers. He’s not saying much either, except that a summary of the

findings should be made public in September as the government considers new regulations. The aim of this exercise is to consider relaxing rules around secondary farmland uses in the Interior, Kootenay and North regions, as well as food processing and retail sales of food and beverages on farmland. Also under consideration is allowing breweries and distilleries, as wine and cider production are now allowed, and relaxing rules to permit more off-farm products to be sold from farms. Letnick defended the 30-day summer consultation as adequate. It’s based on 11 questions developed with staff, farm groups and local government. He’s also not counting how many emails were stacked up by proponents or critics. “I’m not conducting a plebiscite,” Letnick said. “What I’m trying to

do is come up with the best balance of recommendations to make to government that can hold their own based on the idea and the potential positive and negative consequences.” NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham was more forthcoming. She was invited to the formal sessions, and also won’t talk about them directly. But she’s not backing away from her criticisms. The government is proposing to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for several kinds of decisions, including subdivision for family use or into properties of 160 acres or more. “I think the general idea was that people trust the ALC to make that decision, and it should still go through the commission,” Popham said. “Actually the commission has been making those decisions anyway, and I think they’ve been quite

fair when somebody applies.” She said farmers also aren’t sold on the notion of easing the rules for secondary businesses. “You will already find situations where there’s, let’s say a welding shop or something like that attached to somebody’s residence who lives on ALR land,” Popham said. “That sort of stuff has been allowed, but it’s always had to go through the ALC or some sort of process that’s been in place. This leaves that process out, and so I think that’s the problem people are having.” She noted that non-farm activities have a way of growing until they become the main business. A reader who attended the Kelowna session said even winery operators aren’t thrilled about the proposal to enlarge retail space and allow sales of wine or beer not made on site. He said “not one”

participant there liked the idea of increasing industrial activity such as food processing or retailing. And he agreed with Popham that the ALC is doing a good job with subdivision applications. Popham also clarified the situation with the leased craft gin distillery on her own Vancouver Island farm. It started as a winery, and the conversion needed only local government approval because the production facility was already considered and taxed as light industrial. Victoria Gin has been a model for the government’s push to allow distilleries, breweries or meaderies on farmland. Given the B.C. Liberals’ love of liberalized liquor, I expect that change to go through. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc E Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Dispute not setting good example It is absolutely ridiculous that the B.C. government is playing “kitty by the door,” in its dispute with the B.C. teachers. This is probably the worst lesson possible for the province’s future workforce and leaders, its students. Obviously, this has become personal for Premier Clark, and her extremely weak education minister, who is content

with prepared sound bites and premeditated statements from his ministry. I was always of the impression that we were to set an example for our youth, not the other way around. Premier Clark is using any potential negotiation capital as election campaign funds, trying to buy the student parental vote. Though this double cross of

Grocery store music too loud

taxpayer’s money is juvenile at best, she is not solely to blame. Jim Iker’s sense of entitlement, with the teachers demands, are just a little more than unreal, and not being able to foresee that these incredible demands were going to hit a brick wall, is exactly that, short sighted. I would suggest that the minister of education, step down,

and Jim Iker’s be removed as the head of the B.C. teachers union. Only then, can we have any constructive dialogue and negotiation. As for Vince Ready stepping in, he’ll only participate, if it’s going to work for him as well. Which means a stronger mediator is required. Let’s get it done! Art Green

REGISTRATION

While shopping at either of Jim Pattison’s Overwaitea Food Group (OFG) stores here in Hope, I usually “hightail” it out as fast as I can due to the high volume of what is questionably called “music.” Debatable as that may be, I have asked a few friends and customers, elders being the majority, and even some young employees who agree that the music needs to be turned down. When I called OFG, the woman told me that the person in charge of purchasing this marketed music was on holiday but that the customers have the power if they ask the manager nicely to have this done. I did so but nothing was done. It’s still as loud as ever. If you find it annoying, please contact the manager of your favourite store or perhaps, like me, you will shop elsewhere. Too bad, as Hope would like to keep its customers here, I hear. Ruth Renwick

Wonder of birds showcased

Claudia Cojocar Contributor

The new backroom show at the Hope Arts Gallery will feature Vikki Ferguson of Kamloops, who hand builds sculptures of various bird nests from around the world using porcelain clay. To Ferguson’s knowledge, no one else sculpts bird nests using porcelain because of it’s fragility. She mixes and applies the glazes in a way that the finished piece looks like a three dimensional watercolour. It can take from 30 hours to several months to complete a nest, and no two are alike. Much research is required to duplicate the nests and eggs in minute detail. “My wish is that my work demonstrates my love of both ornithology and the craft of sculpting,” said Ferguson. “I am having a love affair with

what I am doing since it allows me the freedom to give expression to my interest in birds”. Her latest vision has seen her embarking on a series of sculptures of endangered species. The show runs from Aug. 30-Sept. 28 at the Hope Arts Gallery, 349 Fort St. An opening reception will be on Aug. 30 from 7-9 p.m. Refreshments will be served. Ferguson will also be leading a two-day workshop on her sculptural and glazing techniques on Sept. 2728 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at The Art Machine, 777 5th Ave. Cost is $50 per person and all materials included. Pre-registration is required. For information about the exhibit or the workshop, contact the Hope & District Arts Council at 604-869-3400 or hopearts@telus.net

Hope swimmer competes at provincials Barry Stewart Hope Standard

Earlier this month, Rachel Deschenes (left) wrapped up 10 years of competitive swimming — the last two of which included coaching Nicola James. Both swimmers competed for the Agassiz-Harrison Aquanauts. James recorded 14 personal best times this season.

After 10 years of competitive summer swimming, Rachel Deschenes is calling it a career. The 20-year-old third-year geophysics student at the University of Calgary got her start in the sport when she was in Grade 3, swimming for the temporarily-revived Hope Otters. When the club went into hiatus in 2006, Deschenes switched to the Agassiz-Harrison Aquanauts — then back to the Otters for 2010 — and back down-river for the 2012-2014 seasons. She served as assistant coach of the Aquanauts for the past two years. After drilling her students all season, Deschenes said, the tide was turned on her. “The students like to see the coaches swim, so I put myself in two Div. 7 (age 17-20) relays and the 50-fly at the summer regionals,” said Deschenes. “I had very, very, very limited training!” The relays were the 200-medley and 200-freestyle. “In order for the relays to go to the provincials, you have to finish top-two. For individuals, it’s top-three,” she explained. “Our medley finished second and our freestyle was third — and I finished second in the fly at the regionals. “At the provincials in Kamloops, our medley came in 12th and I finished 13th in the fly.” Putting on her coaching hat, Deschenes was still beaming about the success of one of her swimmers, who had struggled with disqualifications this year. “Hebrina McInroy swims in my division and we had worked all summer to get her to the point of swimming without getting a DQ — and she earned a bronze (in the 50-fly) at regionals. “At Kamloops, I stayed in the water while Hebrina finished. I was at the wall, screaming for her to finish — and she came in 15th in the province. She was so thrilled!” Reflecting on her swimming career, Deschenes’ said her biggest regret was taking a year off in Grade 11. “Swimming is time-consuming… but the year I took off, I hated it. I had nothing to do,” she recalled. Speaking as a swim coach: “When you see kids with the same amount of passion you had when you started, it makes having no summer worth it.” Deschenes knows that she’ll have to make some changes in her post-swimming life. “When you’ve done something for 10 years, it’s hard to break the habit. Div. 8 is the end of the line, ‘open’ category,” said Deschenes, “but next summer, I’m staying in Calgary. I need to think about getting a job in my field.” That decision will also bring changes for her student of the last two years, Nicola James, of Dogwood Valley. The two are family friends and would often make the drive together to the two or three weekly training sessions. Ten-year-old James started in Agassiz in 2013 and said her best event is the 50-backstroke. “She has a strong kick and natural timing,” said her coach. “Lots of swimmers don’t have the connection between the legs and arms, like Nicola does.” James went to the provincials last year, swimming the backstroke leg in the Div. 5 medley relay — competing against girls aged 13 to 15. This year, she was on the young end of her division and did not get any qualifying times for the provincials. Her take-away was personal improvement, which should help her 2015 season when she’ll be one of the older swimmers in her division. James notched 14 personal-best times this year and was honoured by her club with a big commemorative ribbon.

Ladies’ Golf Tournament celebrates club’s 50th anniversary Ernestine Franson

02/14H_AA6

Contributor

Eighty-one golfers celebrated a special 50-year birthday party of the Hope Golf Club this past weekend. Each participant in the Hope Ladies’ Golf Tournament was gifted with an engraved wine glass, ball and marker. Tee boxes were decorated with potted flowers to add to the festive occasion. Three players – Margaret Watson, Cheryl Weisner, and Carol Ewald – have attended the tournament for over 30 years and were also honoured. Although the golf course opened in 1964, the Ladies’ Open did not start until 1975. The tournament, originally a one-day event, was started in 1975 by Rena Titmus, who worked for Emil Anderson Construction. The two-day tournament began in 1984. It wasn’t until 1987 that the first Hope player, Mary Adams, won the Emil Anderson Construction Trophy for Low Gross. Hope’s next winner was Gabriella Kim in 2003. And Kim did not stop there. She continued to win in 2005, 2010, 2011, and 2012. Hope players fared better winning the Finning Trophy for Low Net, also started in 1975. Katy Westbrook, 1977; Mary Romano,1980; Gladys Anderson, 1982 and 1989; Marg Dollis, 1985 and 1992; Elaine Marych, 1986; Ernestine Pritchard, 1987; and Colleen Knight, 1999, all shared champion status. After a full sunny day of golf on Saturday, golfers enjoyed a turkey banquet prepared by chef Kerry Krahn and his staff, then sang and danced to the lively music of Ron Ulrich. Hope ladies bagged six out of the 26 Net and Gross prizes awarded on Sunday evening.

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS 5

She was a wonderful, happy, carefree child; dearly loved by her family. She was kind, thoughtful, beautiful, talented, and artistic, with a gorgeous dimpled smile. Then a darkness came into her life. She was isolated, mistreated and abused. She became overwhelmed by the hurt. On Oct. 7, 2013 at age 29 she took her own life. We are brokenhearted and struggle to understand. Now safe in the arms of Jesus, where she can be hurt no more.

ANDRESEN, Roy Jan 17, 1935 - July 19, 2014 With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Roy Andresen. He passed away peacefully on July 19, 2014 with his family by his side. He was predeceased by his wife Jessie (nee Holding) in 2005. In his younger days, Roy loved ski competitions in Smithers and has numerous trophies from all over BC and Norway. Roy entertained friends and family with his love of music, especially “The Crystal Chandelier!”. He will always be remembered by his kind hearted ness, fabulous sense of humor and his love for his family.

You brought the most amazing joy to our lives. You were selfless and kind, your laughter was infectious, your smile lit up a room and you made all those around you feel so special and loved. The heart still feels shattered and I can imagine it always will. I believe this heartache becomes a part of who we are now. We are trying our best Dac to be “ok” but we often stumble and fall, tears flow and then we try to pick up the pieces. We will always be a family of five, but there will always be an empty chair, a piece missing. In our hearts we hold the most beautiful and precious memories forever. We love you and miss you Dacre every second of every day. Love Dad, Mom, Shaylee and Shemara
