Residents will see more police officers in bright yellow jackets cycling around town this summer.

Hope RCMP has ramped up its bike patrol program with nine trained members, including two auxiliary volunteers.

The week-long training course

teaches agility, endurance, speed, firearm and tactical bike skills.

“It’s a police technique that allows you to see things that you normally wouldn’t while driving around,” said Staff Sgt. Suki Manj.

“It gives you more accessibility to the smaller areas in town like alleys. It also provides easier access for the community to come and speak with their officers, and

let them know of any problems.”

The patrols, which run from June to September, focus on downtown Hope and known crime hotspots. Officers will also be cycling in pairs during planned community events such as the Canada Day Classic Car Show and B.C. Strongman Competition.

The RCMP is now handing out tickets to anyone riding without a helmet or disobeying bicycle

“For fighting crime, it’s an invaluable tool,” he said.

“You’ll see that when we’re out there, you’ll get an increase in possession of narcotics, public drinking and catching people in the act.”

Johanna Coughlin stands with one of the new bicycle route signs in Hope, which is located on Third Avenue near Memorial Park.

Twenty-four new bicycle route signs are making it easier for cyclists to get around Hope.

Johanna Coughlin has been working on the idea for three years and approached council last fall with the proposal. The district agreed to finance the signs, which were erected May 28 by a public works crew.

“It’s great to see,” said Coughlin.

“I feel that bike route is a definite asset to the District of Hope. There’s so many people coming through town with bikes on their backs. I really think it will also get local people more into biking.”

The family-friendly route leads people around downtown Hope, starting and finishing at the Hope Visitor Centre. Cyclists travel past Memorial Park, the Fraser River, Rotary Trails, Hope Golf Club, the rec centre and Sixth Avenue Park.

After visiting the route with Coughlin, former director of operations Maurice Wutzke and Ross Blackwell, roads and drainage forman, decided on the exact sign locations. Bear Aware signs were also erected in conjunction with the bike signs to remind residents and visitors of nearby wildlife.

Boston Bar native wins silver medal Gordon Kearns faces off against top students in Canada

A former Boston Bar resident has proved himself as one of the country’s top electrical apprentices in training.

Gordon Kearns recently won the silver medal at the Skills Canada national competition in Edmonton. The 21-year-old Chilliwack resident placed second in the category of post-secondary electrical installations.

Competing against the top students across Canada, Kearns had to showcase his talent during a two-day challenge. He was able to compete at the event after taking home the gold medal at the provincial competition at Abbotsford Tradex in mid-April.

“It was quite the feeling of accomplishment,” said Kearns, who is halfway through the four-year electrical apprenticeship program at University of the Fraser Valley’s Trades and Technology Centre in Chilliwack.

The challenges at both the provincial and national levels were similar.

At the Abbotsford Tradex, Kearns was competing against 11 other students in the postsecondary category. They had 6.5 hours to complete the same task.

“It was really intense — there were lots of cameras and people watching and making comments,” said Kearns. “It was very stressful.”

Kearns was told that it was his accuracy that won him the gold.

With an allowed tolerance of being out by three millimetres on measurements, he was “bang on

every time.”

At the Edmonton Expo Centre last month, the scene was very similar, but on a larger scale. The nation-wide competition brought together the best students from each province to compete in different categories.

Kearns was given two six-hour days to work on a large wall that was formatted to imitate different scenarios, such as a house or an industrial environment. He wired lights, switches, smoke detectors, bathroom fans, and timers.

“I feel like it was really nerve-

wracking, but it was exciting and exhilarating at the same time,” said Kearns, who didn’t think he would end up on the podium as he had only trained for two weeks.

He simply wanted to see where his skill level was compared to other apprentices in training.

“I think the competition is a good challenge, and a great way to get young people interested in trades and technology,” said Kearns.

The willingness to put himself up for a challenge and to compete is just one of the qualities that

makes Kearns a top student, said UFV instructor Rod McLeod.

“He is one of those people who is a go getter,” said McLeod. “He takes the initiative to do the jobs that need to get done, which serves him well in this industry.”

Not only will the award help open doors for Kearns down the road, but it also showcases the strengths of the UFV program.

“It reflects the fact that we’re training people with the right industry skills, so they can go to work and build on those abilities,” said McLeod.

Lower Mainland RCMP spokesman Sgt. Peter Thiessen said the driver, who was the lone occupant, was ejected from the vehicle and succumbed to his injuries at the scene.

mechanical defects on the vehicle and driver inattention have not been ruled out.

The annual Strawberry Social takes over Yale Historic Site this Sunday.

A community tradition for over 30 years, the event now features gold panning, old-fashioned games, musical entertainment, raffle prizes, strawberry shortcake, and demonstrations from members of Black Powder and the Royal Engineers. This year, Hope Masonic Lodge will also be on hand bringing to life past members of the original 1881 Yale Masonic Lodge. Both groups will kick off the day with a historical parade led by bagpipers.

“Everything totally brings the grounds to life for the day,” said site supervisor Deb Zervini.

“The Strawberry Tea is really a time for a social gathering. It started off as being a time where the locals that had maybe moved away would make a point of coming back. Now it’s expanded to even bigger than that, where it’s become an event that attracts people from all over the area.

The Strawberry Social runs from 1-4 p.m. on Sunday. Visitors are encouraged to dress up in period costumes. There will be a giant community bake sale, as well as a fundraising barbecue for Yale Historical Society. Admission is $5.50.

A new provincial anti-bullying strategy promises more training to improve the climate in schools and a new smartphone app that aims to make it easier for students to anonymously report tormenters.

Premier Christy Clark unveiled the plan in Surrey last Friday, pledging $2 million for the new initiatives she said will bring a coordinated approach to the issue in all school districts.

She said the focus is on providing better tools to help teachers recognize bullying and deal with conflicts appropriately.

“We’re not focusing on the hammer legislative approach,” Clark said. “You can’t make a law that gets rid of bullying.”

The plan mandates dedicated safe school coordinators in every district and calls for at least one professional development day per year to be devoted to anti-bullying, although that depends on talks with the B.C. Teachers Federation.

Anti-bullying training will focus on elementary schools initially, while threat and risk assessment training will be geared to middle and secondary schools.

The strategy is dubbed ERASE – Expect Respect and a Safe Education.

But Floyd Van Beek, a Grade 12 student at South Delta Secondary School, said it could have gone farther to battle homophobic bullying in schools, noting there is no specific training module set out for that issue.

Grade 10 student Rachel Garrett, who is with Van Beek on the SDSS Alliance club that fights homophobia in the school, agreed and praised the plan for a phone app.

“A lot of kids aren’t quite confident enough to put their name forward,” Garrett said. “If they have an anonymous way to do that it’s going to be a lot easier.”

Clark said gay and lesbian students are more likely to be bullied and commit suicide, but added “bullying is bullying and it shouldn’t happen to any child for any reason.”

The plan also requires all districts to have have stronger codes of conduct that bar discrimination on the basis of race, religion, sexual orientation and other criteria in line with the Human Rights Act. Education Minister George Abbott said a quarter of school districts have conduct codes that specifically refer to sexual orientation.

Others, he said, believe it’s important not to elevate one type of bullying over another, adding the province isn’t telling them what to do, provided all the discrimination criteria are covered.

Top cop urges Mounties to weather ‘storm’ of criticism Jeff Nagel Black Press

A leaked memo from RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson has warned the Mounties will soon be rocked by more revelations of officer misconduct on the heels of the crisis over the transfer to B.C. of a disgraced officer from Alberta.

The force’s head said Sgt. Donald Ray – internally found guilty of sexual misconduct with female officers but not fired and reportedly set to work in a federal RCMP office in Surrey – engaged in “outrageous behaviour” that put a “sad stain on our reputation” and resulted in understandable concern from the provincial government.

Paulson’s May 28 email warns members of the force across Canada that more recent and historical cases will soon surface in the media containing “salacious and troubling details of member misconduct” that will bring more criticism.

He urged them to “hang in there” and “weather this storm” while working together to change the way police address conduct and discipline.

Paulson pledged to have future inter-divisional discipline transfers documented for review and consultations when appropriate. Paulson also warned of more details coming on misconduct allegations against

“I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our customers for their support on another successful McHappy Day,” said Stephen Ye-

“We really appreciate the support shown by the local community for joining us and helping give seriously ill children and their families what they need

Opinion Give us a break It’s official.

Get ready to put your work tools down – be they a hammer, pen, or serving tray – and spend more time with your kin next February as the B.C. government announced the latest statutory holiday, Family Day, is scheduled for the second week of the month.

In this case, Feb. 11 is the date.

It’s also the date Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington, fellow independent MLA Bob Simpson, and newly minted B.C. Tory John van Dongen say is too costly for the economy to bear.

They believe the government is wrong to offer the people something plenty of other parts of the country already enjoy – a much-needed break in a dreary and dark winter month.

Van Dongen says the holiday will not create a single new job.

Was it supposed to?

It will cost the business community in B.C. an estimated $62 million and place increased pressure on budgets – especially those running a small business they say. Well, that’s assuming

everyone enjoying the break stays at home and asks meekly for another lump of coal for the fire.

But what do many of us do over a long weekend? Those keen on hitting the malls will do just that – and plenty of retail operations will likely be more than willing to entice them to shop with some keen price promotions.

Some of us will dine out, and some outdoor-minded folk may head to the slopes of local ski hills. All of that will add up to some economic activity.

But the biggest return from all of this isn’t the money we spend on food, entertainment, consumer goods, or outdoor recreation. It’s the theme of the holiday that should pay dividends here.

It will provide families stressed by the hectic pace of school, work and other activities the opportunity to spend some quality time with each other.

British Columbians need a break, and one with family makes sense.

Chaos reigns as government rams bills through B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher The old saying goes that if you like sausages and laws, you shouldn’t watch either one being made.

The legislature’s sausage factory worked overtime to crank out a pile of legislative change before the government choked off debate and shut it down for the summer. This is after a dozen complicated bills were stuffed into the hopper in the final month.

For the first time in B.C. history, debate was carried on in three separate chambers to try to get through it all. It created a chaotic scene, with politicians and reporters dashing around trying to create the impression they were on top of it all.

The NDP opposition

screamed bloody murder about this travesty, especially as the clock ran down last week and bills were assigned a token 30 or 45 minutes to meet the B.C. Liberal government’s arbitrary deadline.

Alas, what little time was allowed for the opposition to question legislation was largely frittered away with the usual partisan sniping that substitutes for alternative ideas.

The good news is that this mad rush wasn’t a calculated scheme to ram through unpopular, unfair measures. Quite the contrary. The B.C. Liberal government’s back is to the wall, trying to do what the public and circumstances demand and save its own skin.

Here’s a partial list of the marching orders.

Get rid of the harmonized sales tax and bring back a computerized version of the old, inefficient provincial sales tax. Unclog the court system,

which has become so constipated that a Stanley Cup riot fool can’t even plead guilty in a reasonable time. And find a way to make our growing population of urban anarchists and assorted other deadbeats pay to ride transit.

“The B.C. Liberal government’s back is to the wall, trying to do what the public and circumstances demand and save its own skin.

The HST exercise continues to exact its cost. The unprecedented job of creating a modern system for the archaic sales tax was the main cause of the legislative logjam, tying up government lawyers and delaying drafting of other bills.

Standard The Hope

Small businesses that paid $3,000 to convert to HST get to pay another $3,000 to go back, and we had all better hope the new computer software works.

Speaking of computers, one of the laws passed amid the shouting is one that establishes an online system for disputing traffic tickets. Police will print out tickets from their cars instead of hand-writing them, and drivers will have an alternative way to argue about whether they really ran that red light.

Fighting a ticket in court now takes seven to 18 months, tying up judges, court registry staff and police. An administrative system won’t keep them all out of court, but the government hopes to reduce the average resolution time to 90 days and save $8 million a year or more.

A similar administrative system is being established for small civil claims and strata property disputes.

Some legislation is to fix earlier screw-ups. A judge tossed out B.C.’s most heavy-handed administrative penalties for failing a roadside blood alcohol test, so the government brought in a new version that allows for another administrative appeal.

The mistake of making transit operate on a poorly policed “honour system” goes back to Social Credit days. There is finally a system to enforce collection of fines, on those rare occasions when someone is ticketed for taking a free ride.

Even with the last-minute rush, four bills couldn’t be rammed through. Since the legislature will almost certainly have to be recalled to impose a contract on teachers this fall, the government would do well to provide a couple of weeks for orderly debate at that time.

from our rich past as they hearken back to our role as a supply depot for the Fraser River and Cariboo gold rushes.

The trees in question are often referred to as Acacias but they are actually Black Locust trees, latin name Robinia pseudoacacia. They surround the Hope Visitor Centre & Museum Complex, but can also be found near the Hope Airpark along Yale Road and other parts of our community. In addition, you can spot them in the Fraser and Thompson Canyon through to Lytton, Spences Bridge and Cache Creek.

The book Garden Trees states, “Growth is fast, from 40 to 75 feet high with an open, rather sparse, and frequently zigzagging branching pattern. Branches and deeply furrowed bark are brownish black, making both a striking winter silhouette and a good contrast to the fresh green feathery leaves. Paired thorns arm the branches. White and fragrant flowers come in dense, hanging clusters up to eight inches long.”

It is not native to British Columbia but can be found in abundance in the eastern states of the U.S. Indeed these “False Acacia” trees date their presence here back to the days of the 1858 Fraser

River gold rush when forward thinking miners brought them here via California.

But why would miners intent on striking it rich, bring trees to British Columbia? That is like bringing “Coals to Newcastle” or “Ice to the Eskimo” as the old sayings go. With all the supplies of food and equipment needed for the arduous journey to the gold fields, why would miners weigh themselves down with pesky, thorny trees?

Well, it seems that the trees were known to grow very fast in even the most adverse conditions and the resulting wood was ideal for fashioning wagon wheels. Planted strategically along the fledgling Cariboo Wagon Road, this must have made them the equivalent to the tire shop along a modern highway. Break a wagon wheel and no problem, cut down a nearby Black Locust tree, fashion yourself a new one and be on your way! For prospectors that knew literally nothing about the new territories they were venturing to, bringing along the “False Acacia” tree was akin to travelling with AAA Road Side Assistance Insurance.

So this week and next, take time to smell the trees … those trusses of flowers fill the air with their perfume of the past!

Recent statistics show a much stronger than expected job growth in B.C. and Canada. The question asked by many communities is “Where are the jobs here?” It is a fair question.

Whether during prosperous or challenging economic times, job creation and investment in B.C. are most often concentrated in the Metro Vancouver region. It is true that B.C.’s oil and gas sector has succeeded in attracting jobs and investment to B.C.’s Northeast and Northwest regions, but again many people locally ask, “What about here in Hope?”

Though the reliability of economic crystal balls in the form of projections has been tarnished to say the least over the last few years, there are reasons to believe economic opportunities in Hope not only exist but are growing.

Recently I had the opportunity to hear Pat Bell, B.C.’s Minister of Jobs, Tourism, and Innovation, speak on the sixmonth progress report of the B.C. jobs plan.

Of the eight key sectors in the B.C. jobs plan, there are three in particular that have the ability to affect our community in the near-term: 1. Forestry, a key component of our historical local economy is making a province-wide comeback, despite a lackluster American economic recovery.

For the first time in history, the Japanese and Chinese markets have together overtaken the U.S. share of B.C. exports.

Forest product sales to China are up 1,300 per cent since 2003, thanks to a concerted province-wide marketing and educational effort in addition to ravenous demand from the Asian continent.

oria n Speech

Good afternoon community members, family and friends, teachers and admin and most importantly; The Class of 2012! 2012. What a significant year. I mean its pretty cool to say we will be the last graduating class of Hope Secondary School given the impending doom in December. So we decided this speech had to be exciting, captivating, unique and sexy, just like the group of individuals sitting to the right of us. Yes, he said sexy, which is rather coincidental considering that the Top Song of 2012 so far is “Sexy And I Know It” by LMFAO. It’s like they wrote it for us! However we are going to refrain from quoting LMFAO because we want to be allowed to finish our speech!

The past four years here at Hope Secondary have had their ups and downs but no matter the situation we have always found something to laugh about.

Everyone sitting up here knows of a situation where they were doing something they probably shouldn’t be and suddenly they heard “the heels.” When we started at Hope Secondary, this immediately alerted us of an enforcer walking the halls. We smartened up before she made it to the door, thanks for that Mrs. Floyd. As the years passed, our system became flawed because Mrs. Floyd was no longer the only one wearing those heels. However nothing has changed, we still sit in class and we all freeze waiting to see if she comes into our class. Just because we are graduating doesn’t mean the fear of her presence will not haunt us.

Jake Baerg

Rachel Deschenes

Anyone who has had Mrs. Anderson knows that if you steal her calculator, she will hunt you down. And that’s one person you don’t want to mess with. She can be quite scary. However, she is a very sweet lady especially because she has yet to mark my final math exam.

But there is no other teacher out there where your mark depends on the playoff stance of the Boston Bruins. Let’s just say, to the disgust of many, last year was a good year for us students. When Mr. Webber is happy, we are happy. Let’s not even discuss this year; it tends to be a touchy subject for all of us.

I guess this is a good a time as ever to thank the amazing staff of Hope Secondary. Just because we didn’t always see eye to eye at times, it doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate everything each and every one of you do to make this school a better place. Thank you.

Continuing with the thank yous we’d like to thank our wonderful community for all their support and the gracious amount of money that is presented to the graduating class each year. Who else can we thank? Well Rachel, what about our parents? Ohh right! Thanks for taking us home from the hospital when we all know life would have been much easier if you just left us there. We are also thankful that you didn’t take us into the woods and leave us there to be raised by wolves. Although, I personally think that would’ve been pretty awesome. But you didn’t leave us there and because of that you gave us the opportunity to become the individuals we are today. You have been there to guide us where you saw fit. However, you’ve also taken it upon yourselves to give us the opportunity to take risks and to be able to learn from our own mistakes. And for that, we owe you everything.

Coming together for this final year, actually it turns out I have forgotten the cliché that I was going to use in this part of the speech. But…. We have made some incredible friendships and have lots of fond memories to look back on. Overall, I’d say high school was a success. And since no one knows the future, not that there will be one come December 21, 2012, we just have to keep on going. A final word of advice: don’t let anyone or anything stop you. Unless it is a train or a very large bear.

All the best to The Class of 2012!

Congratulations on your graduation achievement!

THE GIFT OF

Knowledge IS YOURS

May your education & experience as a student serve you well in your career & your future. We wish you much happiness & fulfillment.

Cycling across Canada for mental illnesss Vancouver Island family is on route to Halifax, Nova Scotia Neil Horner Black Press

Marina Bakker-Ayers doesn’t talk about the trauma that caused her pain for many years, but the Qualicum Beach resident is more than eager to talk about her healing.

The mother of two

grown children sees her message of hope and healing as an important one, a message worth sharing — not just in Oceanside, but right across the country.

“My family and I have put together Wheeling and Healing, to raise funds and awareness for the Canadian Mental

Health Association and Free the Children,” she said.

They kicked off their cross-Canada ride in Nanaimo last weekend and stopped in Hope overnight on Sunday.

Bakker-Ayers said she chose the two charities because they fit in well with her own situation.

“I had some trauma that I experienced as a child that was completely removed from my conscious memory,” she said. “I started having flashbacks and had a massive breakdown a few years ago.”

That breakdown, she said, left her barely able to function. Diagnosed

with post traumatic stress disorder and severe depression, she withdrew into herself.

“I was agoraphobic, afraid to be in public or even leave the house,” she said. “I couldn’t talk to anybody. I would panic if someone got out a camera and I would burst into tears if someone talked to me on the street. I was so afraid I couldn’t talk to people on the phone and if I did, I stuttered so badly I couldn’t have a conversation.”

Bakker-Ayers knew she couldn’t continue to live like that and she decided to get help. As it turned out, that help was available — sometimes from professionals and sometimes from ordinary people who cared.

“There were so many things that were key to my recovery,” she said. “I went for trauma

counselling and brain training, massage and accupressure, among others.”

Because she said her trauma involved breaking the law, she was also able to take advantage of the Criminal Victims Assistance program — although she didn’t apply for it at first.

“There were so many people along the way who said we need to do this for you, do that for you,” she said. “People would step up and go to bat for me, sometimes people I don’t even know.”

Now, fit and healthy once more, Bakker-Ayers wants to spread her message of healing to others. She is joined on the cycling trip by her husband, Byron, as well as her two adult daughters, Jessie and Luschia.

As she prepared to set out, she found it hard to believe how far she had

already come.

“It’s an amazing thing,” she said. “I can’t believe this is actually happening.”

She said her goal is to raise awareness about the fact that mental health issues can be overcome. As well, she has a dream of getting two pennies from every Canadian to give to the two charities of her choice.

“The theme of the ride is that we would like your two cents worth,” she said. “If everyone donated one cent to each charity, we could raise a lot of money.

Everyone has two cents and it won’t break the bank.”

If everything goes well, she expects her family to arrive in Halifax on August 5.
