Volunteers from Hope United Church and the Joshua Project are helping those in need this summer by handing out food on a weekly basis.

Cookies, sandwiches, coffee and cold bottled water are provided every Tuesday from 3-4 p.m. in front of the Northwest Harvest Church building.

“It’s kind of a bridge between the end of the Joshua Project in the middle of June and the beginning of a new season in September,” said organizer Clancy Wolpert, who is running the initiative for the second year in a row. “Money is always tight for these people. It’s a source of food and at the same time, it’s a place where people can get together and just talk.

The people we get are always grateful for the help and we remind them that we’re there for them.”

About 25 volunteers are running the program this summer. Teams of two prepare coffee and sandwiches every week, which are then delivered to the church where a table and chairs are set up.

“This year it has been more successful,” said Wolpert. “We’ve served 30 people at different times.”

Anyone interested in learning more about the initiative can contact Wolpert at wolpertc@telus.net.

It doesn’t happen often — but sometimes a news story unfolds right in front of you and obliges you to help it on its way. Once involved, it’s hard to step back and report it in typical news fashion.

Such was the case on Monday, July 30.

My friend, John Koopman and I were being introduced to the newly reestablished Peers Creek Heritage Trail, east of Othello. Kelly Pearce of the Hope Mountain Centre for Outdoor Learning met us at the trailhead, where Koopman and I immediately noticed something unusual: a pristine 1972 Triumph TR6 convertible, parked with its front end facing out, front tires carefully chocked with small boulders.

Pearce told us that the car had been there for three or four days. Since the trail is being developed for a four or five-day hike, it was conceivable that someone would be out in the bush for that long — but who would bring such a beautiful vintage car up a rough logging road and leave it here?

It didn’t feel right.

A quick walk around the car revealed that it was from Washington state. There was no note left, telling of the owner’s plans, so Koopman and I vowed that if the car was still there after our hike, we would report it to the police.

Seven hours later, the car was still there. We were worried for the owner’s safety, so when we found the passenger door and glovebox unlocked, Koopman checked for any paperwork that would give us contact information for the police. There was none. I photographed the licence plate and left a note, saying that we would be reporting

The owner of this green vintage Triumph TR6 parked his car in Manning Park on July 27 and found it gone after a three-day hike. It was discovered at the Peers Creek trailhead on July 30 and reported to the Hope RCMP. Gordon Montgomery of Blaine, Wash. was reunited with his car the following day, though damage to the undercarriage prevented him from driving it home.

to the Hope RCMP. “My immediate concern was for the whereabouts and safety of the car’s owner,” said Koopman. “Reporting the situation to the police felt like the right thing to do.”

We proceeded to the local detachment, where we talked to Const. Lara Davidsen. She said she would head out to the scene and check it out.

This was Monday evening.

As we learned later, the car’s owner, Gordon Montgomery of Blaine, Wash. had been overnight hiking in Manning Park with his brother Sunday afternoon, they walked out of the bush at the Cascade Recreation Area parking lot — east of Rhododendron Flats in Manning Park — and saw that the TR6

Tuesday evening, Montgomery responded to my note, phoning to express his thanks for our helping getting his car back. The Triumph had been towed into Hope and he came to collect it on Tuesday, though the steering had been damaged so the TR6 had to be towed back to Blaine.

“I had left the car at the Cascade trailhead on Friday afternoon — which I was told was a very safe area to leave it,” said Montgomery. “We had hiked for three days in the park and on our return, Sunday afternoon, the car was gone.”

According to Pearce, the car was at Peers Creek by Saturday morning. That suggests it was likely stolen on Friday and

“A guardian angel, Rusty Ashworth from Coquitlam, picked my brother and me up on the highway and drove us back and forth while filing police reports, picking up my brother’s car at another trailhead and then driving me into Abbotsford so my wife could pick me up and drive me home,” said Montgomery.

“It is very troubling to have had it stolen and treated in such an irresponsible manner.

Nevertheless, I have it back and with a little luck, the perpetrators will be apprehended.”

Hope RCMP Cpl. Darren Rennie said police managed to find a fingerprint on the car.

Pharmacists are asked questions about new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The use of coconut oil to improve AD symptoms is one of those questions. So far the evidence is minimal but some people are willing to try it. Remember that one tablespoonful of coconut oil contains 120 calories and 12 grams of saturated fat. It’s good to tell your doctor you are doing this.

The anticoagulant, warfarin, (popularly known as a “blood thinner”), has many drug and food interactions. For example, leafy green vegetables contain vitamin K

which can work against the warfarin. However, this doesn’t mean cutting these foods out of your diet totally. Just be consistent with the amount you consume daily and your warfarin dose will be adjusted accordingly.

Bowel infections with C. difÀcile bacteria can be hard to treat and can be fatal. Instilling fecal material from a healthy donor via an enema can help normalize the bacterial Áora in the bowel and lead to recovery.

Audit shakes up B.C. legislature finances Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. legislature’s internal finances are being dragged into the 21st century in response to a damning report from Auditor General John Doyle.

MLAs will start re-

leasing detailed expense reports and conducting Legislative Assembly Management Committee meetings in public starting this month, Speaker Bill Barisoff announced after a hastily arranged meeting to respond to the audit.

Two new financial staff positions are being added to address what Doyle called “pervasive deficiencies� in basic financial accountability.

The audit found that MLA credit card bills were being paid without receipts, and the

legislative assembly hasn’t produced financial statements despite a 2007 recommendation from the previous auditor general. Legislature bank records didn’t correspond with actual bank balances, and records for the gift shop and dining room

don’t allow for efficient management.

Doyle said a future audit will look at the $119,000 annual allowance for MLA constituency offices, which Barisoff had asked to be exempted from the current examination.

The grants will be available to, and administered by, registered animal charities, m u nicipalities, veterinarians, First Nations governments and First Nations tribal councils. “Each year thousands of cats and kittens are dropped off at SPCA shelters or simply abandoned by their guardians in public areas,� said Craig Daniell, BC SPCA chief executive officer. “By providing communities with spay/ neuter support we believe we can reduce the number of unwanted

Simpson said the problems go back many years, and he wants to make changes rather than point fingers, which sparked a furious response from B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins. “B.C. Liberal and NDP MLAs are clearly circling the wagons, resisting calls for accountability with regards to their skyrocketing expenditures,� he said.

Cummins called for Barisoff to resign for failing to get the management committee to intervene sooner, a suggestion Barisoff dismissed as a product of the summer “silly season� where trivial items make the news.

Opinion

Uneven sentences Canada’s crime rate is at a 30-year low, but despite this good news story, people still feel the justice system is too lax on criminals.

Recent sentencings, like that of shamed senior RCMP officer Monty Robinson, give credence to people’s cries of foul.

For obstructing justice in the hit-and-run death of Orion Hutchinson, he received a small conditional sentence and a temporary curfew.

This is in contrast to the sentencing of the Stanley Cup rioters.

Some young men being sentenced for taking part in the riot are receiving seven to nine months jail time for their part. This may seem either harsh or just in the eyes of the public. But in comparison, most child pornography convictions rarely receive jail time. A conditional sentence is the most common sentence for the crime, even if the perpetrator is not just looking at child porn but distributing it.

Convicted pedophiles usually do see the inside of a jail cell, but sentences range and usually aren’t longer than two years — nothing in comparison to the lifetime conviction they have inflicted on their victims.

It is particularly troubling that in this study on crime rates, the offence which saw the largest increase was child pornography, which jumped 40 per cent in 2011 from 2010, say police.

Going hand-in-hand with this are sexual violations against children, which are on the rise as well. The judicial system doesn’t appear to take sexual crimes against children as seriously as it does rioters or even tax evaders.

A recent sentencing of a Surrey man who went on a house robbing spree put him behind bars for eight years. The provincial government wanted to send a strong message that those who riot will pay for the crime they committed. The message was heard loud and clear by our judges who by B.C. judicial standards, are handing down harsh sentences. If our government can carry that kind of weight and influence with the provincial judicial system in sending a message of deterrence for rioting, can it not send an even stronger message to protect our children from predators?

Pipeline posturing doesn’t help B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher The B.C. Liberal government is taking its new hard-line approach to federal environmental hearings on the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal in September.

Environment Minister Terry Lake has filed the B.C. government’s notice to cross-examine Enbridge, one of the world’s biggest pipeline operators. Lake outlined the “tough questions” B.C. representatives will ask about spill response capacity on land and sea, tanker escort tugboats, pipe wall thickness, and Enbridge’s sluggish response to a pipeline rupture in Michigan.

That’s all fine, and to be expected after Premier Christy Clark’s high-profile confrontation with Alberta Premier Alison Redford

going into the recent premiers’ meeting in Halifax.

Clark’s demands for “worldleading” safety and spill response, as well as meeting the constitutional obligation to consult and accommodate aboriginal groups along the route, are mostly a statement of the obvious. Her call for a “fair share” of proceeds from exported oil to reflect B.C.’s risk has been assaulted from all sides.

Pipeline opponents seized on Clark’s suggestion that a major oil spill might be tolerable if there was enough money in it for B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix picked up the theme as he conducted his own belated tour of the proposed route to reiterate his opposition.

There had been earlier hints from Alberta that B.C. might need further rewards for the risk.

But when Clark made the “fair share” demand public, Redford was moved to channel Margaret Thatcher, declaring: “The Premier of Alberta is not going to

All this political theatre doesn’t amount to much. I’ll stand by my January prediction that the Enbridge proposal is unlikely to

Even if some way can be found to levy a B.C. tax on revenues from the Northern Gateway pipeline, it’s no solution. For one thing, it would confer an advantage to the Trans-Mountain pipeline that has been shipping Alberta oil to Burnaby and the U.S. for more than 60 years.

The competing expansion proposal by Trans-Mountain’s current owner, Kinder Morgan, shows the inconsistency of opposition to pipelines. Does anyone really believe that a new pipeline built to the highest standards ever would be too dangerous, while a 60-year-old pipeline is acceptable?

nearly 100 years, but the congested modern shipping lane offers more threat of collision, and clearing Burrard Inlet for near-daily tanker transits would disrupt the rest of B.C.’s shipping trade.

An Angus Reid poll last week showed as many as half of respondents remain open-minded about the costs and benefits of new oil pipelines across B.C. Unlike B.C. politicians, they seem interested in learning more before making up their minds.

Dix and the NDP ran to the front of the anti-pipeline parade early, as they did with the carbon tax and other issues. Clark began the Northern Gateway discussion with a principled position to wait for the result of the federal review, but that’s apparently out the window with an election looming.

Residents should be concerned about pipelines How do we get our political leaders to develop an approach to energy that is in the best interests of British Columbia residents?

Opposition to transporting raw tar sands bitumen through pipelines in British Columbia continues to grow.

At issue are proposals for Enbridge’s Northern Gateway and KinderMorgan’s Trans Mountain pipelines. If you live in southwestern British Columbia you have good reason to be concerned.

Several major pipeline accidents, in the last month alone, cast a shadow over these companies’ plans. Recently the Northern Gateway pipeline debate has taken a new turn—into an argument about money.

Thus it has marginalized issues of water pollution, climate change and increasing cancer rates related to fossil fuels.

Alberta Premier Redford and BC Premier Clark voiced seemingly opposing positions on the national stage. One

might assume they were standing up for their respective electorates, but were they?

One important fact has been ignored in the debate about pipelines through BC: Tar sands bitumen is already being shipped silently through Kinder Morgan’s 59-year-old Trans Mountain Pipeline from Edmonton, Alberta to Burnaby, BC. On learning this in April of this year, concerned residents of southwestern BC formed the PIPE UP Network to educate themselves and their communities about tar sands pipelines. Here’s a summary of some of what we’ve learned: • Tar sands bitumen (which must be diluted by volatile organic compounds to be shipped through pipelines) is not like conventional crude oil: It is more corrosive and more toxic. Pipelines operate under higher pressure and temperature when piping tar sands bitumen. We know that all pipelines have spills.

Research shows that tar sands pipelines spill more frequently and put people and the environment at much greater risk than conventional oil pipelines (see NRDC report Tar Sands Safety Risks”).

• Spills of tar sands bitumen have a devastating impact on the economy and the environment—as evidenced

by Enbridge’s 2010 spill into the Kalamazoo River in Michigan which negatively affected local business and tourism and drove down property values (see Cornell University’s Global Labor Institute report).

Two years, and approximately $800 million later, it is still not completely cleaned up.

• Equally importantly, as economist Robyn Allan’s Economic Assessment of Northern Gateway” clearly shows, tar sands pipelines are “not an income generating growth opportunity” as the industry tries to claim. Her analysis concludes: “the value added potential of our raw re-

sources is sold-short on the international market. From a public policy standpoint, Canada is being outplayed.”

• Whenever there’s a spill, the corporations promise safer pipelines. Can they guarantee that there will be no spills? Their track record is poor. Should local people bear such a risk? Politicians are giving tax breaks to big, outdated, and dangerous, raw resource extraction corporations.

Meanwhile, it seems that Canada is losing ground in developing clean energy. Should we not rethink fossil fuel subsidies and instead support job creation in clean energy and transportation industries?

While export of tar sands bitumen may be profitable for some corporations, we cannot see any net economic benefit for residents of British Columbia (or, for that matter, for Canadians generally).

Nor can we see how rapid expansion of the tar sands is in Canada’s

The Hoodlums set to rock Hope The Hoodlums will be bringing classic rock to the stage this weekend for Concerts in the Park.

Influenced by music from the 1970s to 1990s, the group resurrects club favourites and modern hits. The members making up this band are an eclectic group of working professionals from Hope that play together for fun.

The Hoodlums have been performing at local venues, private functions and festivals for many years. Strong vocals are shared between Linda Bishop

and drummer Ebi Fazzari, allowing the band to cover everything from popular moving ballads to edgy rock tunes and country rock classics.

LaVern Klassen is a classically trained musician who plays keyboards and contributes to vocal lead and harmonies.

Lead guitarist Greg Bradbury is well-known in local music circles for his powerful, precise and expressive lead licks. In his 20 years on stage, he’s played with many groups and toured throughout B.C. and Alberta.

Fazzari and bassist Jake Cowan make up the backbone of The Hoodlums. Cowan, a local teacher by day, lends a solid rhythm as a seasoned bassist.

Garth Jennesen, an accomplished guitar and bass player, rounds out the rhythm section.

Together these musicians enjoy a casual fun-loving camaraderie that allows them to play music that offers something for everyone.

The upcoming show will feature favourites like Brown Eyed

Girl by Van Morrison, Middle Of The Road by The Pretenders, Still Got This Thing For You by Allanah Myles, Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benetar, One Way Or Another

by Blondie, as well as some country rock from artists like Linda Ronstad, Sugarland, and Shania Twain.

The free concert runs from 2-4 p.m. on Aug. 12 at the Memorial Park bandshell.

AH: I have heard comments critical of your changes to pricing, however what are your customers saying at Coquihalla Campground?

MB: When we came in we looked at pricing and decided that the product was undervalued, especially compared with provincial parks in the area. The camping season is short and there is considerable overhead. We provide a good, comfortable, safe, and clean environment that gives clients value for their dollar. It is critical to note that there were some concerns raised from long-time customers, however there have been no concerns from new customers or European clients and we have many repeat customers.

AH: How does Hope compare with other communities in which Holiday Trails conducts business?

MB: Hope (as a community) has been great, the district has been supportive and helpful and initial dealings with new district management have been positive. This (Coquihalla Campground) is unique (in the Holiday Trails portfolio of properties) in that the town (district) owns it. Definitely there has

been a “negative” element creating costs such as theft and vandalism, however our strong local connections help to mitigate those costs and we work closely with local authorities. Again our local staff is what makes it easier to do business and navigate any potential issues we have awesome staff who take a lot of pride in our product. We also support local business in many instances, and that keeps our reputation strong.

AH: How do you see Coquihalla Campground fitting into the overall tourist experience in Hope?

MB: The campground is in a unique location and situation – a provincial-park quality product in an urban setting with pedestrian/cyclist access to many close amenities. Holiday Trails Resorts will continue to invest in capital improvements in the Coquihalla Campground over the course of the 10-year contract. We are seeing a lot of traffic in the shoulder seasons such as on Thanksgiving weekend and Easter weekend and are seeing some customers treating a stay in Coquihalla as an event in itself. We are in competition, however the competition is not just between campgrounds, it is our community competing against other communities and camping

competing against other forms of recreation. We are confident that when we do a good job it results in people staying in the area longer, therefore our staff are knowledgeable about local events, amenities, and businesses.

AH: What do you see as business opportunities in the local tourist sector?

MB: A sporting goods store, businesses focusing on the winter aspect such as proximity to Manning or Hemlock, bike rentals, biking events, river tours and other river-focused businesses, and motor-sport servicing, sales, or gear.

I see opportunity for businesses to take advantage of hours, to be only open when customers need you. There is potential for Hope to become a destination, however the bulk of current businesses focus on a service break for travellers. This isn’t a bad thing and we should do it well, but there is just opportunity for destination-focused business.

The Coquihalla Campground is just one of many campgrounds in Hope and Silver Creek, and in surrounding areas such as Sunshine Valley, the Fraser Canyon, Skagit Valley, and Bridal Falls.

Sports Hope’s link to the London summer Olympics Alvin Towriss’ daughter is coaching Canada’s women’s basketball team Barry Stewart Hope Standard

KERRIE-ANN SCHOENIT / THE STANDARD

Alvin Towriss sits at home in Hope Friday with the Canadian women’s basketball game against Brazil on in the background. The national Olympic team is coached by his daughter Allison McNeill, who credits her parents as being her biggest source of inspiration.

a national team roster because of her pintsized stature, “but she might have had a chance if they had the three-point line back then. She was a really good long-shooter.”

McNeill has led her team to the World Championships in 2006 and 2010 — but in all her years in the game, this is her first Olympic experience.

“I didn’t play on the national team,” she said, “but like many young athletes I did have a dream that one day I would get to represent Canada as a player... but instead I’ve been able to do it as a coach. I have thoroughly enjoyed helping athletes to achieve their goals. It is an extremely rewarding profession.”

McNeill marched into the Olympic Stadium with the Canadian Olympic team on

opening night — accompanied by a special person: her husband.

“One of my assistant coaches is my husband, Mike. So as we walked in, there was a great sense of accomplishment — but also a great sense of pure joy! It was an incredible feeling, one that I will remember for the rest of my life. It was so special to share this accomplishment with someone you love.

“It was also wonderful for our coaches to see the joy on the faces of our athletes... that is why we coach!”

The McNeill’s team narrowly made it through the pre-Olympic qualifiers but just about stunned the second-ranked Russians in their opening game in London. They lost to France by four points but beat Brazil last Friday, for the first time since 1999. That vic-

tory — and their win against Great Britain — put the Canadian women into the final eight.

“Playing and beating Great Britain in our second game was incredible,” recalled McNeill. “It was a packed house — close to 12,000 fans — and the atmosphere was amazing. It was so loud and fairly hostile but it was a great game and we got our first win.

“Our theme all summer has been to ‘Win the Day,’” she said. “Play our best, give our Olympic performance each day and see what happens. We are giving our best in each game and that is all we can ask.

“We were not expected to get to the quarter finals and we are thrilled to be in the top eight at these Olympics.”

In 1975, Alvin and Barb Towriss sold their movie theatre in Princeton and moved west to establish Hope Cable Television.

Meanwhile their daughter Allison went north and took up room and board in Salmon Arm, where she helped the Salmon Arm Jewels to 50 straight wins and two consecutive provincial championships in her Grade 11 and 12 years.

Fast forward to 2012 and Towriss and friends have been gathering around the TV set — connected via satellite — to watch Allison McNeill coach the Canadian women’s national team at the London Olympics.

Sadly, Barb passed away in 2005 and could not be here to enjoy her daughter’s climb to the Olympic stage.

“Barb was a great fan,” recalled Towriss after Canada’s close loss to France in their third game. “But she was so nervous that she usually watched from behind closed doors, just peeking in every so often.”

“I am so lucky to have had such supportive and encouraging parents,” said McNeill from London via email on Saturday. “My mom and dad have always been my biggest source of inspiration and my biggest supporters.”

Towriss said he didn’t have any idea that his daughter was good at basketball until she was in Grade six or seven.

“Her coach called me down to the school and said, ‘Look at this!”

“I played many sports growing up in Princeton and actually started as a competitive swimmer and downhill skier,” recalled McNeill. “Once school sports started, I played basketball, volleyball, badminton and ran track.

“I loved all sports, but basketball soon became my favourite. I am very lucky to be someone who has been able to turn her passion into her profession.”

After her two years at Salmon Arm, McNeill went to Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario and was point guard on a team that won two consecutive Canadian titles when she was there. She then played at the University of Oregon in Eugene for three years.

After a year of professional ball in Germany, McNeill took up coaching and spent 13 years at Simon Fraser University, where she coached Hope Secondary grad Tracey Nazarchuk in the early 1990s.

She also spent three years coaching at the University of Oregon and has been head coach of the Canadian women’s team since 2002. McNeill lives in White Rock but the team is based out of Toronto.

Towriss figures his daughter never made

ENGAGEMENTS

Janet Basham was taken from us too soon, after her courageous battle with cancer. With her daughter Taffie at her side, she peacefully stepped into the awaiting arms of her beloved mother.

She will lovingly be remembered and missed by husband Glenn, daughters: Jackie (Jon), Christie and Taffie (Muff), 9 grandchildren, her critters, Sweetpea and Secoya, sister: Francis (Dave), as well as numerous other family and friends.

If you had the pleasure of meeting my mum, then you already know what a truly beautiful and loving woman she was who treasured her family.And she always welcomed anyone in need with a hot meal and a warm embrace. A woman who’s unmistakable laugh brought joy to all around her. She was the life of the party and if there wasn’t a party...she’d start one. She enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, reading, cooking, baking, gardening, sewing and of course her wine. She couldn’t get enough of the sound of Sam Elliot’s voice. But most of all she enjoyed hitting the open road with her husband on their motorcycle, preferably with an unknown destination.

Please join us at 1:00 pm on Aug 18, 2012 for a celebration of her life at the Eagles Hall, 386 Fort St. Hope BC, where she was a proud member and enjoyed meeting with friends for a drink and a laugh.

In every heart you touched, in every life you changed, in every thought you inspired, your love lives on. I love you Mum.

HOPE, bcclassified.com Sharon Rose March 10, 1953 July 31, 2012 Sharon Hope passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at the age of 59 at her home in Yale, BC. She is survived by her loving husband, Robert Hope, her children Dominic (Chantelle) Hope, Vanessa (Jesse) James, and her beloved grandchildren Tyler Paul-Marino, Jesse Paul, Dyllan James, Marcus James, Nicola James and Hayven Hope; her siblings Joyce Jackson, Chris (Dean) Peters, Tim (Carol) Peters, Thelma (Glen) Florence, Lolly (Gary) Peters, Don (Jessica) Peters, and Aunt Sophie Charlie, and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.

Sharon was predeceased by her parents P.D. and Maggie Peters, her brother Herman Peters, her sisters Suzanne Peters, Dorothy Peters, and nephews Derwin Peters, Christopher Jones, and Sonny Florence.

A traditional service was held at Yale First Nation Government Centre on August 4, 2012, officiated by Fr. Peter Altamirano, and buried in the Yale First Nation Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, please donate in Sharon’s name to her favourite charity, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

Sharon was a dedicated grandmother who could be heard cheering at many hockey, soccer, swimming games and band concerts. She was an avid Canucks fan who preferred to watch the games at home where she could cheer as loudly as she wanted, scaring her dogs in the process.

When her children were in the Hope Otters Swim club, she decided to join them in the pool for those early morning practices, and completed the 25 mile challenge. A special thank you goes out to the many people who offered condolences and supported our family in numerous ways.

Happy 21st Rock Star
