The Coquihalla Highway turns 28 Hope Visitor Centre celebrates milestone this Saturday Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

The Coquihalla Highway celebrates an important milestone this weekend.

Twenty-eight years ago, the highway was opened to provide drivers with a faster route into the Interior from Hope.

In 1984, construction of the first phase of the Coquihalla Highway began and was completed in 20 months, in time for Expo 86.

A project of this scale had never been done before in such a short

time in North America. During the construction of the first phase of the Coquihalla Highway, which linked Hope to Merritt, over five million cubic metres of rock was blasted. This section was the longest stretch at 137 kilometres. To finish on time, over 10,000 people were needed to fill all of the jobs.

The second phase, from Merritt to Kamloops, opened in September 1987 and the third phase, running from Merritt to Peachland, was completed in 1990. The total cost of all three phases of the Coqui-

halla was $955 million.

“It’s an important piece of infrastructure,” said RiIey Forman, who is in charge of tourism services for AdvantageHOPE. “It changed British Columbia in how we look at transportation and trade. Hope was the gateway to that massive change. We have five junctions here and five major spokes leading from Hope. In 1986 another spoke was added and I believe that it’s definitely a part of our experience.”

Government of British Columbia and Xplornet Partner to Bring Affordable High-Speed to Remote B.C. Residents.

Xplornet Communications Inc. is pleased to announce a partnership with the government of British Columbia to help bridge the urban/rural digital divide in rural and remote British Columbia.

The initiative is a multi-year program to make Internet connectivity more affordable in rural and remote areas where installation costs can be high.

The program will provide a subsidy of up to $250, or half of the cost of an installation of broadband equipment to new residential and business customers within Xplornet’s industry leading 4G rural broadband satellite footprint. This will significantly reduce the costs of installation, costs that may have been a barrier to the adoption of high-speed Internet.

Staff have spent hundreds of hours cleaning up the space and digitalizing the library of museum contents.

“We hope to rotate more and more historical stories as they become more relevant in time here in Hope,” said Forman.

“As we work through the summer months and working into the 2015 season, we’ll be completely re-shifting the way we accept donations to the museum, display the historical artifacts of the community and most importantly the way we inspire and tell the story of our history in a way that encourages people to hit the streets.

Once they’ve come through the museum and they’ve learned something about some of these historical moments, we really want them to go out and experience them.”

After months of renovations, a new business in the Fraser Canyon is ready for a busy tourist season.

The Mighty Fraser Motel and Fat Jack’s Diner north of Boston Bar celebrated its grand opening over the weekend. Situated on about three acres overlooking the Fraser River, owner Todd Baiden has transformed the property into a destination location.

“The location here is unique onto itself. I could see the opportunity, but it had been so run down,” said Baiden, who has a background as a chef in Vancouver. He ran a successful underground restaurant for five years before pursuing the Fraser Canyon business opportunity.

The motel offers 14 standard rooms, seven two bedroom units with kitchenettes, six two bedroom apartments, two bachelor apartments, and a three bedroom house that sleeps seven.

The re-modeled air-conditioned rooms feature brand new beds, linens and towels, a fridge, microwave, complimentary coffee and tea, and cable. There’s also Wi-Fi available, laundry facilities on site, a fire pit overlooking the river, and space for event rentals.

“We definitely modernized them as much as possible and carried a mixed-wood aesthetic/theme throughout that ties in with the restaurant, pub and

Ca $ h All Scrap Metal New in Chilliwack!

Black Press

Several agricultural businesses are vowing to defy Multi Material BC and refuse to pay into the new package recycling system.

Kelvin McCulloch, CEO of the Buckerfield’s chain of farm supply stores, said his firm and other mainly garden suppliers will try to develop their own stewardship program to collect and recycle their packaging in compliance with provincial government regulation.

He said he’s abandoned hope the government might freeze the MMBC system, set to take effect May 19, and added a court challenge is one option if setting up a separate program proves unworkable.

have gone to government serving notice they won’t comply.

McCulloch maintains MMBC is an illegitimate, unaccountable “monopoly” that businesses have been “coerced” by the province to join because there’s no real alternative.

Higher fees than are charged by a similar package-and-paper recycling scheme in Ontario is a key complaint.

But Environment Minister Mary Polak said misinformation about the program is rampant in the business community and much of it is coming from McCulloch.

“He refuses to listen to the information provided him,” she said, adding Buckerfield’s is likely largely exempt from MMBC fees because most of its products go to farms, not consumers.

Likewise, she said, many other businesses

wrongly believe their fees will be much higher than is the case, due to either low flat fees or exemptions for all but the largest generators of packaging.

The decision to make companies whose packaging enters the waste stream responsible for the costs of handling it was a national agreement with other environment ministers, she said.

Those who want to go their own way can still pursue an alternative stewardship system, Polak said, adding breweries are advancing their own system and talks are also underway with the newspaper industry.

Polak said MMBC can’t be subject to provincial audits – as McCulloch has demanded – because it is not an arm of government, but is regulated and accountable as a nonprofit.

She said organizations representing dairy farms, landscaping and nursery firms, as well as the B.C. Agriculture Council, are now part of an MMBC advisory council.

As for demands for a freeze on the program,

Polak said that’s not possible.

“We are way too far down the road to be pausing it,” she said.

Doing so would stop the rollout of curbside blue box pickup to smaller communities that haven’t had it before, throw into chaos collection arrangements in cities where MMBC is set to take over and block the flow of MMBC payments to most municipalities that will continue as contractors under the new system, she said.

“If suddenly you told the Capital Regional District they’re going to have to find $4.8 million, I don’t think anyone would find that very acceptable.”

Asked if businesses that don’t pay into MMBC will soon face provincially imposed fines, Polak said enforcement may vary according to how much waste is generated.

“Tim Horton’s is part of the program,” she said. “If they hadn’t signed on maybe there’s a more serious discussion about penalties than if you’re dealing with a medium-sized flower grower or something like that.”

Hope basketball program receives grant funding The Steve Nash Youth Basketball Program in Hope will get an added bounce from the provincial government with a $1,800 grant from the B.C. Government’s Local Sport Program Development Fund.

“The Steve Nash Youth Basketball Program is a great way for boys and girls get into the sport and learn,” said Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness.

Local Sport Program Development Fund grants are designed to help establish new sport programs or expand existing ones so that more British Columbians, particularly those who face barriers to sport, have opportunities to participate.

Programs funded this year are focused on teaching fundamental sport skills to children, introducing new Canadians to sport, expanding Aboriginal sport programs, and providing adaptive sports to persons with a disability. Funds are generally used for equipment, coach training or program development.

The B.C. Government will invest more than $50 million in sport programming this year.

The Local Sport Program Development Fund, Girls Only and Forever Active Bodies 55+ grant programs are administered through ViaSport.

clude “world-leading” spill safeguards as well as resolution of aboriginal issues and a “fair share” share of economic benefits for the province.

Unlike the NEB’s marathon hearings into Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline across northern B.C. to Kitimat, the revised federal process no longer allows oral cross-examination of witnesses.

Polak said the province had to shift its strategy to using detailed information requests as result.

The $5.4-billion project would nearly triple Kinder Morgan’s pipeline capacity to 890,000 barrels of oil per day and greatly increase the number of tankers passing through Vancouver harbour.

Weaver, the Green MLA for Oak BayGordon Head, said he has many unanswered questions on the science Kinder Morgan

has relied on in the event a tanker ruptures and releases diluted bitumen.

He said the project application relied on tank experiments done on land in Alberta that didn’t reflect real ocean conditions, and ignored new federal findings that dilbit may sink when exposed to water carrying suspended silt – conditions common on the B.C. coast.

“The bottom line is they simply have no idea what would happen if dilbit were to spill in the ocean,” Weaver said. “Not at all. It’s just wild speculation.”

He said B.C. Greens are pushing for a sixth provincial condition that rules out tanker transport of dilbit.

A pledge of worldclass spill response for dilbit is meaningless, Weaver said, because the situation is unique to B.C. Kinder Morgan is to file responses by June 13.

farm in Sumas. That type of location is far easier to accommodate expansion than the top of Burnaby Mountain.”

As for whether Burnaby’s list of questions is excessive, Corrigan noted Kinder Morgan’s project application is 15,000 pages long.

“One question for every 10 pages is probably reasonable.”

The province’s questions target land and marine oil spill response, prevention and recovery systems.

“We are asking the company to provide more detail than is contained in their application so that we can continue our analysis of the extent to which they will deliver the worldclass systems that we require,” Environment Minister Mary Polak said.

She promised a “very thorough” defence of B.C. interests and its five conditions for new heavy oil pipelines.

The provincial government has filed 70 questions for Kinder Morgan about its proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline twinning and that request for information is slender compared to others.

Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver has lodged his own submission that poses nearly 500 questions to the company.

The City of Burnaby, another intervenor demanding answers as part of the National Energy Board review, has filed a 300-page request containing 1,500 questions.

Topping Burnaby’s list is a demand to know what alternative terminal sites Kinder Morgan could use instead of greatly expanding the petroleum tank farm at the Westridge Marine Terminal on Burrard Inlet.

Asked if that means pushing for a different terminal in Surrey or Delta, with tankers instead entering the Fraser River, Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan pointed to the U.S., noting Kinder Morgan already has a spur pipeline running to refineries in Washington State.

“We want to know if they considered places like Cherry Point that are already wellequipped to move oil,” Corrigan said.

He said that site just across the U.S. border would shorten the amount of pipeline required and eliminate project impacts in Metro Vancouver.

Opinion

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

Freedom selectively guaranteed Justin Trudeau promised, after being selected federal Liberal leader in 2013, that there would be open and democratic contests for Liberal nominations all across Canada. This was in contrast to previous Liberal leaders, notably Jean Chretien, who decided to appoint candidates in numerous ridings, rather than let local Liberal members actually select the candidate they wished to represent them.

It all sounded good. But when the rubber met the road, and candidates were actually being selected, the true facts about how candidates were chosen started to emerge.

In one Toronto riding, where a byelection has just been called, Trudeau barred the wife of the former MP in that riding from running — in that riding, and in any other. No reasons, other than the fact that Trudeau had a “star” candidate in mind, seemed apparent.

Last week, Trudeau announced that no one who opposed abortion would be allowed to seek a Liberal nomination across the country.

This despite the fact that several current Liberal MPs are pro-life (they were grandfathered), and several former pro-life members had considered seeking nominations.

Trudeau declared that the matter of abortion is “settled,” despite the fact that there has been no abortion law since 1988 and an attempt to pass a new law, based on a Supreme Court decision, died on a tie vote in the Senate in 1990. It’s “settled,” in that politicians won’t consider a new law. But the public aren’t quite as one-sided on the issue.

The Liberal Party supports abortion, and has endorsed it at a recent policy convention. However, personal beliefs about abortion are often based on religious faith, and Trudeau in effect has said that people with that faith position are incomplete, and inadequate as candidates.

It is another troubling attack on freedom – and it’s coming from the son of the prime minister who brought in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which explicitly guarantees Canadians freedom of religion. Trudeau the Younger has shown that freedom is only selectively guaranteed by his party.

Farmland holy war falls flat B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher The NDP’s holy war against changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve got nastier last week, as it became clear it was defenders of the status quo who were being mowed down.

Ever since legislation was tabled to divide the ALR into two zones, with greater emphasis on social and economic needs to help viability of farms in the Kootenay, Interior and North regions, almost all the protest has been from unaffected areas. And much of it depends on emotion rather than fact.

In the legislature, Nanaimo MLA Leonard Krog rose to praise the late Dave Stupich, who birthed the ALR sacred cow as agriculture

minister in 1973. Krog likened Stupich to the Biblical Daniel for his bravery in preserving farmland for our children’s children.

Cowichan Valley MLA Bill Routley did his signature “jiggery pokery” routine, this time accusing cabinet minister Bill Bennett of being “giddy” at the prospect of paying off his friends with development land. Before he gets too jiggery outside the protection of the legislative chamber, he would be well advised to find some evidence.

Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson, who at least represents an area being given broader latitude for secondary uses on farmland, warned of drought in California. The history of this is currently a hot topic in the quasi-religious climate change debate.

Meanwhile in the real British Columbia, life and farming go on under the existing farmland pro-

tection regime.

The largest ALR exclusion in B.C. history took a big step forward last week, as a federal-provincial review panel issued its report on the Site C dam proposed for the Peace River.

The panel noted that the dam would flood 2,775 hectares of farmland, representing all seven categories of soil quality. Opponents use a figure about twice that size, as if all the affected land was farmable.

The panel accepted that this land, including the small amount of micro-climate bottom land, represents 0.2% of the Peace region’s farm receipts. I would add that’s because what is farmed at all is mostly growing hay, which requires minimum capital and labour.

“It has potential, to be sure, but its unique and irreplaceable contribution would be for those

labour-intensive crops like vegetables, which are not remotely practical in a labour-short region,” the report states.

We have to bring in Mexican guest workers to get vegetable and fruit crops off in the Fraser Valley and Okanagan. For a five-month growing season in the bush outside Fort St. John? This is a classic example of the religious fervor that replaces reason among the southern faithful of the ALR. And how is the status quo working? Summerland council just voted to swap 80 hectares of flat farmland for 90 hectares further away in the Summerland Hills.

The town is on restricted lakeshore terrain and the council wants to increase its urban zone, using the community need provisions that are enhanced by the current legislative amendments.

Letters Diluted bitumen too dangerous at sea

Hope Standard Friday, May 15, 2014 A7

In a letter to this paper Greg Stringham, on behalf of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, makes assertions about the behavior of diluted bitumen (dilbit) in salt water that are at best half-truths. He states that dilbit floats on salt water and that it is no more dangerous at sea than other types of oil. That is wrong. It is more dangerous at sea, and infinitely more so than refined fuels like diesel and gasoline. What Stringham doesn’t mention is that the same report from Environment Canada that he quotes from, goes on to say that dilbit sinks in seawater when there is sediment present. Another study by a top

U.S. environmental chemist, Jeff Short, says the same thing. It was filed by the Gitxaala Nation to the National Energy Board in March 2013, so Stringham is well aware of it. That study says animal and plant matter like plankton, as well as sediment, cause the dilbit to sink.

Our entire coast has sediment and plankton in abundance. All our rivers are glacial and full of silt. Plankton is omnipresent, which is why the whales are here, and shallow seas like Hecate Strait throw up huge amounts of sediment from the bottom in storms. Dilbit will sink in our waters if there is a spill and it will harden up like caulking material

on beaches and the intertidal zone. The intertidal zone includes large mud flats in the midcoast because the tidal range is more than 20 feet there. How would we ever get them clean again? Stringham also says our Canadian oil industry is interested in the Kitimat refinery idea. That is news to me. I have talked to all the companies and there is no interest whatsoever. That is why I am spearheading the project. It will keep dilbit out of tankers and provide an enormous valueadd for B.C. Canada’s oil industry needs a west coast pipeline. Coastal First Nations, the Yinka Dene First Nations, Prince Ru-

pert, Kitimat, Terrace, Smithers, the provincial and federal NDP, the federal Liberals, the provincial and federal Green Party, many blue collar unions and the majority of folks in B.C. are against Northern Gateway’s idea of putting dilbit in tankers. A refinery is economically viable. Why is it so hard for our oil industry to see that the way forward is to build a green refinery which will cut greenhouse gases by 50 per cent, create thousands of jobs, generate billions of new annual taxes, and gain acceptance for a safe pipeline?

Film Show a big success Gender debate fuels questions The Vagabond Film Show on May 1 was so successful we may have to do two nights next year.

The red carpet event proved to be one of Hope’s more unique and popular events with a sold out show and even a waiting list for any available tickets. The live music which kicked off the show was amazing and showcased some of Hopes amazing musical talent.

Following the live music we jumped straight into the film contest and with 13 entries it made picking a winner a difficult task. Sam Burnett won first place with his video “Hairless for Haiyan” and Johnny Beach

came in second with “Iceland Ring Road.”

This year’s Vagabond Film Show was dedicated to the ever smiling long-time resident and employee of Manning Park, Wayne Mckay. The 50/50 dance-off event raised $305 to help Wayne Mckay’s family get through this rough time. Seeing the unbelievable support for this event has been amazing.

Will Baerg, Justin Brown and myself want to thank everybody for helping and attending the show and hope to see you next year. Nothing is over.

Re: Throness ‘respectfully’ agrees to disagree (May 1) So let me get this straight. The B.C. government has said that “anyone in B.C. wishing to change the gender designation as it appears on their birth certificate would no longer have to prove they had gender reassignment surgery first.”

Health minister Terry Lake goes on to respond with, “We’re talking about a birth

certificate in which the gender can be amended to agree with the social construct or the way in which the person who owns that information would like to be identified.”

I could try to write something eloquent, but I will just be blunt.

That is absolute insanity.

Basically, they have written a law that will allow a man to decide he wants to be called a woman, get his birth

certificate changed, and he will then have the ability to walk into a ladies change room. If anyone complains he just has to say,“I identify as a woman.”

He doesn’t have to have gender surgery, doesn’t have to look like a woman. He can even be attracted to women. How are our B.C. MLAs so confused that they can pass a law like this? How did we get to this point?

TWU law school troubles leading to collision of rights riage. A student can be legally married yet still be in a position where sex with one’s spouse violates the covenant, and risks expulsion. Many proponents of TWU’s covenant state that they, as a community, can hold any beliefs that they want. While this is true, their conduct must be consistent with the law. The issue here is not one group’s religious beliefs, but rather the conduct of an institution. How will the planned law school deal with a homosexual law student who has sexual relations with his or her lawful spouse, and how will they deal with a law student who has sex with his or her common-law partner? It is the conduct of the university and the application of the covenant to certain groups in our society that needs to be examined. If any law school attempted to restrict admission due to race, or had the power to expel a student on the basis of race, it is submitted that such discrimination would not be tolerated in a free and democratic society. Yet it seems tolerable to expel a student

Realtor help appreciated We would like to compliment a local realtor who has gone out of the way to help us out.

We recently sold our house in Hope, it was on the market for a long time.

Our realtor David Radmore has been a really great helper for us. He has gone out of his way in so many ways to help, including finding appliances, moving things and other help to many to mention.

David is a fine example of a community person who helps out. Thanks David.

based on that student having sexual relations with a spouse of the same gender. Evidently proponents of the covenant suggest that such discrimination should be permissible in the name of religious freedom.

Those in favour of a law school point to the 2001 TWU v. B.C. College of Teachers case as authority for the proposition that their covenant should be applicable to their planned law school.

The holding in that case seems to give tacit approval to TWU’s future plans. The question now is whether the law as it was stated in 2001 still applies today.

The evolution of gay rights has progressed rapidly in the past 13 years. The legal definition of spouse in this province has expanded over that time. The legal definition of marriage has expanded over the same period of time. Same-sex marriage was not legal at the time of the above 2001 Supreme Court decision, it now is. Parliament has since spoken on that issue. This leaves open the very serious question as to

whether TWU’s covenant would receive the same treatment today by the Supreme Court of Canada, as it did 13 years ago.

Rights evolve and change over time, leaving open the question of whether it is appropriate to discriminate against one group in the name of religious freedom, or any other freedom. TWU has the right to have these views. The question is how far can those views go when the institution’s application of those views affects the rights of others, and prevents others from being members of their community of higher learning, when those individuals may be otherwise qualified to be such members. Law societies of the various provinces seek not to regulate personal or institutional beliefs, but will and must regulate conduct. Ultimately it looks like the highest court in the land will be called upon to take a stand when these fundamental rights collide. There is, and must be, a fundamental distinction between belief and conduct.

There have been many articles and comments lately dealing with Trinity Western University, its planned law school, and its covenant. Many of these articles have framed the issue as one of freedom of religion and association. It is clearly that, but it is also expressly about freedom against discrimination. The crux of the debate is about what happens when freedom of religion hits headlong against freedom of expression, and the right not to be subject to discrimination for some part of oneself that is central to one’s identity. This is the dichotomy.

TWU’s covenant forbids one from engaging in sexual relations outside theirs (TWU’s) own definition of marriage. Homosexual sex between married spouses, or sex within a heterosexual or homosexual common-law union is prohibited, and grounds for expulsion from its planned law school, or any other of its existing faculties. The TWU definition of marriage is narrower than the current legal definition of mar-

Fraser Health has curtailed surgeries in order to avoid an operating room budget overrun despite the fact surgical wait times at its hospitals are already significantly longer than for patients in the neighbouring Vancouver Coastal region.

Dr. Peter Blair, director of the surgical program for Fraser Health, said the reduction of surgeries since January and February was “only by a few per cent” and not the 20 per cent cut a White Rock orthopedic surgeon claimed last week.

Dr. Arno Smit, chief of surgery at Peace Arch Hospital, told Black Press a waiting list crisis is coming unless the health authority reverses the cuts and authorizes more use of mothballed operating rooms.

Blair said he’s hopeful Fraser Health will soon be granted a budget increase allowing more surgeries, but said the curtailed surgical pace is continuing for now.

It’s not a budget cut, he said, but a reduction in actual surgeries performed to bring OR spending back down to budgeted levels.

“We realized we were spending money faster than we could,” Blair said of the overspending in the first two months of the year. “We did need to make a significant reduction.”

The department has since finished the fiscal year at the end of March within its budget. Asked if averting a deficit has driven up wait times, Blair said he hasn’t yet seen any clear evidence of that yet.

But surgical wait time data reported by the provincial government shows patients at most hospitals in Fraser Health are already waiting considerably longer than those near Vancouver or most other parts of B.C. The two benchmarks the province uses to gauge surgical waits is how long it takes to complete 50 per cent of cases and 90 per cent of

Surgeries have been reduced in Fraser Health to avoid an OR budget deficit.

cases in each hospital, specialty or region.

For the first three months of 2014 until March 31, Fraser Health completed half its surgeries within 6.4 weeks – the other half of patients waited longer than that – compared to 5.1 weeks at Vancouver Coastal and 6.0 weeks for the B.C. average.

Ninety per cent of surgeries performed in those months at Fraser Health waited less than 31.3 weeks (10 per cent waited longer), compared to 23 weeks for Vancouver Coastal and 28.3 weeks for the provincial average.

That indicates patients in Fraser Health waited 25 to 35 per cent longer than in Vancouver Coastal in January to March, even though two of those three months saw Fraser Health’s ORs running over-budget before being curtailed.

“All of us have to be concerned about that,” Blair said of the wait time disparity.

He cited population growth as the main challenge making it difficult to meet wait time targets.

“We’re the fastest growing health authority in British Columbia – 1,200 people a month are moving into Surrey alone,” Blair said. “We’ve got the highest birth rate and a high rate of people moving in as retirees into places like White Rock.”

He noted surgical waits vary by

hospital, by specialty and by individual doctor.

The Lower Mainland hospitals with the worst surgical waits in the first three months of the year were Burnaby Hospital at 47.7 weeks to reach the 90 per cent completion mark, Abbotsford Regional at 39.2 weeks, 36.9 weeks for Langley Memorial, 36.7 weeks for B.C. Children’s, 35.7 weeks for Peace Arch and 35 weeks for Surrey Memorial.

As of March 31, Fraser Health hospitals had 20,233 patients awaiting surgeries, compared to 17,389 at Vancouver Coastal. A report released in February by B.C.’s auditor general showed Fraser Health has the lowest per capita funding per year in B.C. at $1,585 (in 2011-12) – in comparison with Vancouver Coastal Health, which received $3,008 per capita. Vancouver Island Health received $2,554, Northern Health received $2,465 and Interior Health received $2,372.

Blair said the action to rein in surgeries was a decision of the region’s surgeons, who met to review the threatened deficit. He said it was not related to a fiscal review into Fraser Health ordered late last year by Health Minister Terry Lake to unravel why the health region has struggled to stay within its budget allocations.

The bout started off with great blocking from both teams as the score was tight up to the half.

It proved to be a very physical game and the two teams lived up to the namesake of the bout.

The jammers on both teams had trouble getting through the walls of blockers in order to score points. There were some great skills shown from both teams, and to note one particular difficult maneuver named “jumping the apex� successfully completed by NWO’s Pavel Fury. This maneuver consists of a player jumping from inbound on one side of the arc on the curve of the track, over the out of play area and landing back

Relay for Life scheduled for June 14

More than 2,000 people throughout the Valley take part

Jason Roessle Black Press

The signature event for the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) and the largest cancer fundraiser in Canada is coming up in mid-June.

The Relay for Life is a 12hour team event – 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. – in which people of all ages come together in a family-friendly and noncompetitive atmosphere.

Participants celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and continue the fight against all cancers by taking turns walking laps around local tracks for 12

hours.

According to Gwen Clyne, the CCS team leader for the Fraser Valley, the event raises an average of $600,000 a year in this region, and organizers are hoping for the same or better result on June 14.

About 2,000 Fraser Valley residents take part in the relay annually. “We just encourage the people to join the fight. Join the Relay for Life and help with raising money for cancer research,� she said.

The first lap of the relay is the survivors’ victory lap, and cancer survivors lead the

group around the track. “That opening lap is very emotional,� said Clyne. “There are lots of [cancer] survivors and care workers coming together to honour those afflicted.�

A luminary ceremony, held at twilight, will also be featured. Luminaries are special candles that honour cancer survivors and remember loved ones who have lost their fight. After being lit, the luminaries line the track.

All teams are asked to raise at least $100, but the majority bring in at least $300 each, said Clyne. Teams range from

10 to 15 people and the event is open to those of all ages and fitness levels.

And while all the teams are asked to have least one person on the track each of the 12 hours, it is understood that some people have commitments and must step away for a while.

The relay also serves an additional purpose, next to raising money, said Clyne. “You learn that you’re not alone� in your fight against cancer.

Moms urged to donate breast milk

‘Gift of health’ helps improve outlook for premature babies Jeff Nagel Black Press

Lactating mothers are urged to consider donating some of their milk to help others who aren’t able to breastfeed their own babies.

Fraser Health has opened 10 new human milk donation depots at public health units in Hope, Agassiz, Mission, Langley, Cloverdale, Guildford, North Surrey, New Westminster, Port Moody and Burnaby, in addition to existing ones in Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Maple Ridge.

Women who have been screened can collect breast milk at home, freeze it and donate it at those locations.

It’s transported to the provincial milk bank at BC Women’s Hospital where it’s pooled, processed and pasteurized.

Most of the donated milk goes to feed premature and sick babies in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) who are at high risk of illness and infection. “We are asking all breastfeeding moms to consider giving the gift of health to our most fragile patients by donating their breastmilk,� said Fraser Health project development nurse Sidney Harper.

Premature babies whose moms aren’t able to breast feed are increasingly getting assistance from milk-donating mothers.

common in premature babies that are fed formula instead of human breast milk.

Mothers in some cases struggle to provide milk or aren’t permitted to as a result of illness or medications they use.

Fraser Health plans to open dispensaries at Royal Colum-

bian and Surrey Memorial hospitals to store and provide the donor human milk.

Frances Jones, coordinator of the provincial milk bank at B.C. Women’s, said the aim is to meet all requests for donor milk from the NICUs at Surrey and Royal Columbian.

The World Health Organi-

zation recommends babies get only breast milk until they’re six months old and that they continue to be breast fed with other nutritious foods added until at least two years.

Senior girls finish season with weekend tournaments Barry Stewart Hope Standard

The Hope Mustangs girls have put a ton of time into improving their soccer skills and knowledge this year — and it shows.

The senior girls finished their league play in late April and have since gone to two two-day tournaments in the Interior, all with encouraging results.

“Last year, we didn’t win a single game,” said second-year head coach, Jeremy Smith, on Tuesday.

“We scored one goal in league play and one at the Merritt tournament, where we finished dead last.

“This year, we won one at home against Abby Christian and won one on the road at Rick Hansen.”

Those wins gave Hope a sixthplace finish in the eight-team league, ahead of the teams they beat.

“We scored seven goals in the league this year and Kelsey Striker, Ionela Garrett and Hannah Sauvé were our top scorers,” said Smith, who teaches at the school.

Two weekends ago, the girls traveled to Merritt for a 12-team tournament.

“This year, we had three wins, two of them in shoot-out tiebreakers,” said Smith. “Our total of goals would probably be near 10.

We also lost one in a shoot-out… then we lost 4-0 or 4-1 to Ashcroft, to finish in second place.

“At the Osoyoos tournament last weekend, we started off against Ashcroft, which made for a tough start,” said Smith. “Each game after that, we got better and we won our last one.

“We had a blast, though,” he added. “We had a photo shoot down by the lake and the girls got a plan together and threw me into the lake! I overheard their plan, so I put away my wallet and cell phone ahead of time.

“We took the picture and Kelsey charged me and I grabbed her and we both fell in. About 10 girls ended up in the water.”

While the senior team was winding down, an opportunity was offered by Chilliwack schools for Hope to enter a Grade 8-9 team in the middle school league. Smith hadn’t intended to run a junior team this year but over half of the juniors had played for the seniors, so he kept the game alive.

While the senior Mustangs were blessed with plenty of subs, the ju-

The senior Mustangs closed out their season with two two-day tournaments in the B.C. Interior, most notably placing second out of 12 teams at Merritt.

niors only have 14 on the roster, which has meant a very short — or nonexistent — bench in their first three games.

Monday at home, the girls started with no subs and played much of the last half with only 10 players, due to injury. Rosedale was held to 0-0 at the half but they opened things up with their skill and numerous spares, for a 5-0 win.

The result was similar at Slesse on Tuesday.

“We definitely need more conditioning next year,” said coach Smith. “The girls are getting tired.

“The other thing with the junior teams is there’s no streaming into higher or lower leagues, so we’re getting stuck with playing against some pretty strong players.”

Both the senior and junior teams have an unusual look in their goaltending roles, with Smith encouraging his keepers to roam far out of their nets. You’ll regularly see senior keeper Erica McAllister and junior Abbie Striker far out of the penalty area, looking to knock away stray passes.

“That’s my style,” explained Smith. “I played goalie that way when I started soccer, from age 10

to 15. It works well in this league because there are a lot of kickand-run plays.”

Eventually, the opponent carries the ball in, to try and beat the keeper one-on-one. When out of the penalty area, the keepers can’t uses their hands, so it’s a challenge to get to the ball first or get in the way and “jockey” the attacker until help arrives.

It doesn’t always work.

“I tell the keepers not to sweat it when somebody does score on them, because they’re shutting down so may more chances by being out there, playing aggressive-

ly,” Smith explained.

The girls have held three fundraisers this year, to help cover their expenses and Smith anticipates a surplus of around $1,000, which he hopes to put toward the purchase of new aluminum goals, to replace the old steel goals that are very hard to move. Having mobile goals would make it easier to change field sizes and move players away from worn-out areas.

Smith said he plans to work with Bruce Becker of Hope Minor Soccer to run a fundraiser during the summer to secure the extra funds needed for the new goals.
