District relocates C.E. Barry students Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

C.E. Barry staff and students have been moved to different schools for the remainder of the year.

The Fraser-Cascade school board made the decision yesterday after teachers refused to enter the building on Tuesday due to seismic safety concerns. Students were sent home as there wasn’t enough administrators to provide supervision.

“We understand that these moves will create disruption at this time year,” superintendent Karen Nelson said in a letter to parents. “Student safety is of prime importance to the board of education and we appreciate your understanding during this time.”

As of today (Thursday), Grade 5s

will be moved to Coquihalla elementary, Grade 6s bused to Silver Creek elementary, and Grade 7s relocated to Hope secondary. Regular bus students will continue to use the same buses as always in the morning and will then be dropped off at their new schools.

The school district is currently considering the closure of C.E. Barry due to the cost of required seismic mitigation. Administration provided an overview of the building’s status and options for its future at a public consultation meeting on Monday at the rec centre. On May 12, 2012, the government announced $122 million of new capital funding to carry out structural upgrades for 14 school with high seismic risk. C.E. Barry was identified as a vulnerable structure at high risk of widespread damage or struc-

tural collapse, likely not reparable after a major seismic event. As the process progressed, the ministry of education directed the school board to focus on seismic upgrades to ensure safety, not school renewal, and pursue the lowest cost option.

Engineering consultants were hired to produce a seismic project identification report for C.E. Barry, with solutions for structural upgrades to address life safety. The detailed cost estimate for the work came in at $4 million. The district is now looking at a number of options, however an addition to Coquihalla elementary appears to be the most-effective. The provincial government has said it will fund four new classrooms there to accommodate students if C.E. Barry is closed. The closure is projected to save

the district $200,000 annually in operating costs, which could be used for student programming or additional recreational facilities.

Parents, teachers and students expressed their concerns over the possible closure of C.E. Barry at the open house and urged the district to fight for their school. Many left feeling disillusioned about the outcome and worried about the building’s safety.

“As far as I’m concerned, there’s still an option to have the board pay for some of the seismic upgrade and save our school and the board has said ‘no it’s not going to happen,” said Grade 5 teacher Donna Kneller on Tuesday morning, who is also the health and safety staff representative at the school.

Teachers vote for full-scale strike

Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C. teachers have voted in favour of a full walkout to put maximum pressure on the provincial government, but their union did not immediately move to issue 72-hour strike notice.

The result of the vote, conducted Monday and Tuesday, was 86 per cent in favour, or 28,809 out of 33,387 ballots cast.

B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker called it a “very strong message” to the province.

“So far this government has come to the table empty-handed, it’s time to change that,” Iker said Tuesday night.

He said while teachers are prepared to go to a full-scale strike that’s “a decision we never take lightly” and would depend on how talks proceed with the provincial government.

“You’ve got to remain hopeful that government has learned from the past mistakes they’ve made,” Iker said, who referred to the union’s legal battle with the province over class size and composition and “the government’s chaotic lockout.”

The earliest a full-scale strike could begin is Monday and with no strike notice issued as of press time it appeared the strike start could shift to next Tuesday or later. A full strike would close

KERRIE-ANN SCHOENIT / THE STANDARD

Teachers in Hope were behind picket lines again Wednesday as part of rotating strike action around the province.

elementary and middle schools – parents will be advised to make child care arrangements if necessary – while secondary schools would be open only to conduct exams for Grade 10 to 12 students. The lack of $50-a-day strike pay – the BCTF’s strike fund was expected to be exhausted at the end of this week – was apparently a non-issue for most teachers.

Sooke Teachers Association president Ian Johnston said the strike vote was held mainly to increase pressure on the government.

“It’s more the signal it sends to government; how strong is our resolve. That’s really what it’s all about,” he said.

The Labour Relations Board was to hear arguments Wednesday on the province’s application to declare exams and final grades an essential service in the event of a full strike.

The province has also pledged to end its partial lockout of teachers at the end of the school year to enable summer school operations. The government has saved $12 million in salaries in each week of the teachers’ rotating strike, plus nearly $5 million more by cutting wage 10 per cent based on lockout-restricted teaching hours. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the result was not unexpected.

“While the BCTF leadership received the mandate they

sought, no one should interpret this as any kind of enthusiasm on the part of teachers to shut down schools,” he said.

He said teachers, parents and students would all rather finish the school year on a positive note, adding it took just five days of hard bargaining to secure a new contract for school support staff.

The province has offered a $1,200 signing bonus if teachers accept its proposal of 7.25 per cent in wage increases over six years by June 30.

The BCTF’s latest proposal is for increases totaling 9.75 per cent over four years, plus cost-ofliving adjustments in each year tied to inflation.

The two sides have differing estimates of the compounded grand total of the union’s wage demand – the BCTF estimates it at 12.75 per cent over four years, while BCPSEA pegs it at 14.7 per cent and says other non-wage compensation costs will further increase the bill, perhaps beyond 19 per cent.

“The BCTF leadership needs to come to the table with realistic expectations and a willingness to engage in meaningful bargaining,” Fassbender said. “Teachers deserve a raise but their total compensation demands are about four times more than other recent settlements.”

The workshop teaches citizens of all ages to recognize warning signs of abuse of older adults and to respond safely and supportively.

Hit and run in downtown Hope Hope RCMP are looking for witnesses to a hit and run on Saturday at about 7 p.m.

A cyclist was riding northbound on 7th Avenue on the right side of the right hand lane. Just before reaching Park Street, the cyclist was

hit from behind by a passing truck and suffered minor injuries.

“As he looked up after being hit, he saw a large white truck drive away from the scene,” said Const. Tracy Wolbeck.

“This could have resulted in

more serious injuries and we are asking for the public’s help in identifying the vehicle responsible.”

Early reports indicate that the white truck also had a black canopy on the back. It is also possible that the vehicle

would have minor damage to the front passenger side bumper.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Hope RCMP at 604-869-7750 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477(TIPS).

Throness says government supports board direction

“Teachers and support staff discussed it and decided we would seek reference from WorkSafe B.C. Of course we’re always concerned about the safety of the students, that’s first and foremost, but work safe has stated they are concerned about the safety of the employees.”

Teachers waited outside the school on Tuesday morning for guidance from WorkSafe B.C. while administration scrambled to contact parents for student pickup.

Frances Berthiaume, C.E. Barry Parent Advisory Council secretary, was on the phone with her son while he waited for a ride. She said it “was complete bedlam” in the background.

“There were parents yelling, parents cleaning out their kids lockers, parents coming and getting their kids and students were all emotional,” she said. “I don’t think there’s immediate danger and I don’t think other parents feel that either. I think students would have been OK to finish out the last two weeks. The timing could have been better. To throw this into the mix, I think it was a last straw for a lot of people.”

Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness said the government is committed to a seismic upgrade at C.E. Barry school if that’s what the community wants. However, funding would still need to be negotiated. He also cautioned that it might not be the best option for Hope given the current enrolment challenges.

“With its plan to close the school, the board’s trying to make its best use of tax dollars and the ministry supports and prefers that,” said Throness, adding that the school board hasn’t submitted a seismic upgrade project proposal to the ministry. “It doesn’t make a lot of economic sense to keep and maintain a lot of empty classrooms.

The government supports what the school board is doing and the direction of the school board right now.”

Another open house regarding C.E. Barry school will take place in the Hope rec centre conference room on Saturday (June 14) from 9-11 a.m.

Trustees will then consider the short term and long term options and determine what steps need to be taken next at the board meeting on June 17 at Kent elementary. If the board decides on an addition to Coquihalla elementary, building will be undertaken in the next eight to 12 months.

BigFoot ski resort director fined $2 million for fraud The project director of a proposed ski resort in the area has been fined $2 million by the B.C. Securities Commission.

In a ruling released last Friday, the commission said Ronald Stephen McHaffie fraudulently enticed 30 people to invest in BigFoot Recreation & Ski Area Ltd. and raised about $642,960 through the sale of shares in BigFoot between August 2007 and January 2012.

However, the company, which was incorporated in 2003 to develop the resort, never filed a prospectus in B.C. and McHaffie has never been registered to sell securities in B.C. “The panel found that, through the sale of shares in BigFoot, McHaffie committed a fraud,” the ruling said.

“In that regard, McHaffie made

false statements to entice investors, such as telling them that their investment would be used for expenses related to getting BigFoot publicly listed, and that construction or completion of the ski resort was imminent.”

Instead, according to the ruling, McHaffie used investor funds to pay for personal expenses, including gas, restaurants, groceries and retail purchases, not for expenditures related to taking BigFoot public.

In addition, although BigFoot’s ski resort proposal was rejected by the provincial government in September 2010, McHaffie continued to raise a total of $111,070 from investors after that date. The commission found that Bigfoot’s distribution of shares to 27 of the 30 investors for proceeds of $621,960 contravened

the prospectus requirements in the Securities Act. McHaffie also contravened the Act because, as a director of BigFoot, he authorized, permitted and acquiesced in the company’s contravention.

McHaffie and BigFoot have been permanently prohibited from trading or purchasing securities or exchange contracts, from acting as a registrant or promoter, from engaging in investor relations activities, and from acting in a management or consultative capacity in connection with the securities market. McHaffie is also permanently prohibited from acting as a director or officer of any issuer or registrant.

In addition to the $2 million fine, the commission has ordered McHaffie to pay back the $642,960 he raised from investors.

Opinion

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

Little reason for optimism Amid the rhetoric, acrimony, and accusations, the dispute between the BC Teachers’ Federation and the provincial government comes down to one thing: Money.

The two sides may choose a more colourful palette: Politicians will argue its all about responsible stewardship of the economy; teachers will say its about quality of education.

But still, it all comes down to money.

Or more to the point, taxes.

Currently, $4.7 billion of your tax dollars is spent on the education system annually.

The government says that should be enough. In fact, it argues it’s 27 per cent more than what was spent in 2001.

The BCTF says it’s not. Citing stats that suggest B.C.’s per student funding is among the lowest in Canada, it says more must be done.

The debate has polarized the province. But while taxpayers may agree to disagree on who’s to blame for the latest impasse, there is one thing they can agree on: The system is broken.

Only twice in the past two decades has a collective agreement been agreed upon by all the parties involved.

During that time, there has been a noticeable contraction in public education. In the past five years, for example, the number of students enrolled has dropped by 21,498. At the same time, student population at independent schools has gown by 6,605.

To suggest that labour unrest is the reason for this migration would be an oversimplification. And yet, every time there’s a labour disruption enrollment climbs at private schools.

Clearly there are people who are willing to spend more to educate their children.

The BCTF argues the average taxpayer should do the same. It says education in B.C. is chronically underfunded and deserves a bigger share of the fiscal pie. But it also says that should not come at the expense of other government sectors.

That means one thing: higher taxes.

And that seems unlikely. During the last provincial election neither the NDP nor the BC Liberals showed any appetite raise the kind of money needed to meet the spending expectations of the BCTF. Doing so now seems even less likely, meaning an arbitrated settlement that only perpetuates the distrust and animosity until the next round begins again.

If that sounds pessimistic, it’s not. Given the history, it’s simply realistic.

Gas: the other pipeline showdown B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher The prospect of piping diluted heavy oil across northern B.C. and loading it in tankers has generated significant genuine protests, as well as bursts of celebrity nonsense, rent-a-stunts and instant online petitions.

Natural gas pipelines and export terminals, on the other hand, are generally accepted by the public. Premier Christy Clark staked her political future on developing liquefied natural gas exports, and pulled off an upset election win that not even Clark expected.

Most of the heat she’s taken on that is focused on her extravagant predictions that LNG will pay off

the debt and maybe even get rid of our sales tax.

But as I predicted 18 months ago, there’s a shift in the target of professional protesters to natural gas.

A reminder of that awaited me on a morning walk to the B.C. legislature during the last week of the May session.

At the front gate stood a young woman in a bikini top and shorts, her skin smeared with a dark material, presumably to simulate crude oil. She waved to passing traffic, stretching a banner promoting a website for the “Unist’ot’en camp.”

Legislature security intervened to clear the entry walkway before I could ask the protester who was paying her. The fundraising website she was promoting hadn’t been updated since March, but this isn’t the first time this camp has been promoted here.

was also targeted May 30 by protesters who locked themselves to a gate with bicycle locks and chains.

They also cited the Unist’ot’en camp and their aim to stop the Pacific Trails pipeline.

The camp came to my attention last summer, when it was promoted by one of Victoria’s chronic anarchist protesters, a woman who goes by the name Zoe Blunt. Blunt and other southern protesters documented their trip north to support the camp’s stated goal, to stop the Pacific Trails gas pipeline, planned to supply the Chevron-Apache liquefied natural gas terminal near Kitimat.

The camp is on Crown land near Smithers. It was established at the end of a one-lane bridge by two members of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation. While that community’s elected council maintains a respectful relationship with the B.C.

Standard

government, the splinter group that backs the camp has confrontation in mind.

The Unist’ot’en website is a jumble of demands and claims that alternates between the Pacific Trails gas pipeline and Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal. Like the woman at the legislature, if you want it to be against oil, it’s against oil.

A clearer picture of this situation is provided by a relentless blogger named Greg Renouf, who specializes in investigating protesters across Canada. His blog, www. genuinewitty.com, should be required reading for reporters who are presented with slick banners and posturing protesters.

Renouf follows the money as well as the familiar faces who pop up at protest after protest. In April he reported that the increasingly militant Council of Canadians is sup-

Housing task force committee formed In March, minister Rich Coleman, B.C. deputy premier and minister responsible for housing, announced that the governments of Canada and B.C. are committed to investing $300 million over five years to help more individuals and families to access affordable housing.

In response to this announcement, the Hope and Area

Transition Society (HATS), in partnership with a number of stakeholders, including the Fraser Health Authority, the District of Hope, RCMP, and many others, are working to develop a preliminary plan to address the housing needs for the vulnerable populations living within Hope. The goals for this community stakeholder group are to

seek input and ideas on what this facility may look like, what type of client would be housed, how many units maybe required, and what other like-minded service providers may be housed in this location. Before any building is constructed due diligence, community input and consultation must be conducted to ensure that we are meeting the needs of

the community. This is an exciting opportunity for Hope and Area Transition Society and the community of Hope. To join the housing task force committee, call 604-869-5111 or email gerry@hopetransition.org to be notified of upcoming meetings.

Many groups in Hope help the less fortunate This Monday afternoon, I enjoyed a pleasant time at the local drop-in centre for the less fortunate in Hope.

About 100 people came together to celebrate the centre’s first

year in operation with a barbecue and rousing music from a band who call themselves a “Sweet Tooth.”

It is nice to see what a community can accomplish when the will is

there. Here in Hope are many groups who are mainly in operation to help the less fortunate among us, and all these volunteers deserve a big hug and tap on their backs.

One of my biggest wishes is that our local elected leaders would get their heads out of sand and start to climate some of the hurdles they have created for these poorest of

poor in our society.

I’m writing in regards to the tiring and disappointing strike that is plaguing our schools.

I am not choosing sides, nor will I because I believe both sides have a great deal of maturing to do, however, I recently heard some information that discouraged me.

I was informed that the government reneged on the last contract that was signed.

The teachers’ union have taken the government to the Supreme Court twice and have won both times, yet the government has still not complied.

My compromise would be for the government to give back to the teachers what was legally agreed upon in the last contract, and then see if the union steps up to do their share in getting this resolved.

Province cuts deal with school support staff Jeff Nagel Black Press

The province has struck a tentative deal with 34,000 school support staff on the eve of B.C. teachers’ vote on staging a full-scale strike.

The five-year agreement reached Saturday provides wage increases totaling 5.5 per cent, with potential for more tied to the performance of the B.C. economy – in line with the standard settlements reached with other public sector unions. It covers education assistants, school secretaries, caretakers, bus drivers and other education support staff, mostly represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees.

The union and provincial negotiators with the B.C. Public School Employers Association hammered the deal out in just five days following the start of talks last Tuesday.

“This success provides ample evidence that the bargaining system works — when the parties come to the table with reasonable expectations and a flexible, solution-oriented approach,” said BCPSEA public administrator Michael Marchbank said.

“We built some momentum very quickly,” CUPE B.C. spokesman Rob Hewitt said. “The government came our direction enough to meet in the middle and we found a solution.”

He said the union also secured increased hours for education assistants and standardization gains to extended health benefit plans.

Asked if the timing of talks amid the intensifying teachers dispute helped CUPE negotiators, Hewitt said only the teachers were not discussed at the table.

Also included is an Employee Support Grant covering any wages

CUPE members lose by refusing to cross legal picket lines.

The union’s support for the B.C. Teachers Federation and teachers’ pursuit of long-term adequate funding for public education “hasn’t changed one iota,” CUPE B.C. president Mark Hancock said.

“Just as the teachers have been at our side as our members have fought for public education, we continue to stand with them.”

The deal running through to the summer of 2019 must still be ratified by union members.

School support staff get further wage increases in the final four years of the agreement equivalent to half of any increase of provincial economic growth in excess of the budget’s forecast. GDP growth of one per cent above the forecast in a given year would, for example, trigger a further 0.5 per cent pay hike.

Mosquito season has arrived across the Fraser Valley, but experts say not to worry.

Mosquito control crews have been hard at work treating mosquito larvae, said FVRD contractor and biologist Dirk Lewis of Morrow Bioscience.

“We never really know what kind of season we’re facing until the snow is all gone,” said Lewis.

“But the river is not going to get very high, and the mosquito season is strongly correlated with the river levels.”

So it shouldn’t be too bad a season for 2014.

Certainly not as bad as

the high water seasons of 2011 and 2012.

“Last year was about average, and this year we expect the same,” he said.

Every spring they zero in on the largest source of nuisance mosquitoes in the region – those hatching along the Fraser River corridor as levels start to rise. Their job is to monitor, map, and treat mosquito breeding sites, and they’ll continue throughout the season.

As part of the annual Nuisance Mosquito Control Program by FVRD, floodwater sites are treated with a non-toxic bacterial larvacide that specifically targets bloodsuckers in the larval stage before they can fly.

“A fair bit of flood water habitat was activated,” said Lewis.

They targeted more of the islands found in the Fraser for 2014.

“We actually have a boat this year,” he added.

The bacterial larvacide that they use is considered an effective and environmentally-friendly method of controlling nuisance mosquitoes without harming other species. Fogging or spraying chemicals to kill flying adults is not part of the program, and is not permitted.

While the FVRD mosquito control is effective

at reducing mosquito populations, residents can also help by: • eliminating sources of standing water like saucers under flower pots, bird baths, old tires, pet dishes, gutters, pool covers, trampolines, or tarps • maintaining and chlorinating swimming pools.

• emptying kiddie pools when not in use.

• covering rain barrels with fine mesh.

Walk to stay fit People invest great deals of money in an effort to stay as fit and healthy as possible.

But while exercise equipment and gym memberships are a worthy investment, those focused on fitness should not underestimate the value of walking as a means to burn calories and promote overall health.

Walking is great exercise, and people of just about any age and fitness level can get out and walk.

According to Dr. Andrew Weil, a renowned author and expert in integrative medicine, walking is such a good exercise because it makes use of all muscles, promotes coordination and balance and carries the least risk of injury for people of any age.

Physical exercise does not need to be complicated and brisk walking can help a person to live a healthier life by providing a number of benefits: T Walking promotes maintaining a healthy weight through physical activity.

T Walking can prevent or make it easier to

manage various health conditions that are dependent on weight and cardiovascular health, including blood pressure, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

T Walking is a weight-bearing exercise that can help strengthen bones and

jogging, only with less impact on the joints and feet. Walking also is less taxing on the heart, particularly for people who are adopting a more active lifestyle after a period of being sedentary.

Some easy ways to add some intensity to

promote good posture.

T Exercise, like walking, has been known to benefit mood, specifically for those people battling depression.

What people may not realize is that walking provides many of the same benefits as

your walk is to increase your pace, walk uphill or bear more weight by wearing a weight vest.

Incorporating more pronounced arm movements also can help a person to work even more muscles and burn more calories.

In order to make the most of your walk, consider the following tips.

T Invest in a comfortable pair of walking shoes. Exercise can be thwarted by pain in the feet. Comfortable shoes will make it easier for you to stick to your walking regimen.

T Stand up straight and look ahead while walking. Do not stoop or look at the ground.

T Bend the elbows and swing the arms a little while walking.

T Bring a friend along who can engage in conversation and make the time spent walking go more quickly. Otherwise walk a dog or play upbeat music that encourages you to pick up the pace.

T Find a convenient time to walk each day, and look for a new path each day to vary the workout. Walking in beautiful surroundings can make the walk that much more enjoyable.

T Start out slowly and then increase the pace and the intensity as you build up more stamina. You also may want to increase the distance you walk as you gain more stamina.

CEO leaves Fraser Health as big changes loom Jeff Nagel Black Press

604-392-9327 45891 WELLINGTON AVE.

FASHION LOUNGE

6/14W_L11

Dr. Nigel Murray has stepped down as president and CEO of Fraser Health amid an extensive review that is expected to soon bring significant changes to the health region.

Murray served as the top administrator at Fraser Health for seven years and cited family reasons for returning to New Zealand, where he is in the running for a similar job.

No severance will be paid out because he’s resigning.

Dr. David Ostrow, the former CEO of Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, takes over as interim CEO of Fraser Health.

The announcement is the latest shakeup at Fraser, where the former board chair David Mitchell was removed in April by the provincial government.

The board has since been chaired

by Wynne Powell, the longtime board chair of the Provincial Health Services Authority who also chairs B.C. Emergency Services.

Powell said the strategic review committee is finalizing its recommendations for improvements at Fraser.

He wouldn’t reveal details of the findings but suggested they point mainly to smarter use of Fraser’s budget allocation.

“The conclusion they came to is funding is not the major issue,” Powell said.

“It’s not just about change, it’s about helping drive better results and better outcomes. We’ve got to find a way to use the facilities in the best manner possible.”

Powell said he thinks there are opportunities for improvement in community care and long-term care in particular.

“There’s definitely got to be a refocusing of some of the moneys to help the system.”

Health Minister Terry Lake announced the review last fall in response to Fraser’s repeated failure to say within its budget increase each year. Lake at that time said the review could explore a redrawing of health authority boundaries.

Asked if Lower Mainland health authorities will be amalgamated now that Fraser is without a permanent CEO and board chair, Powell said he’s heard “that rumour” but has seen nothing to substantiate it.

Fraser and Vancouver Coastal already jointly procure various ser-

vices and supplies to save money.

Powell also responded to criticism that the detailed findings of the review team won’t be released, but will instead be summarized within a new three-year strategic plan for Fraser.

He said the working papers of the committee are too complex for their public release to be helpful.

“It’s not a matter of them being hidden, it’s a matter of making sure they’re interpreted correctly,” he said.

During Murray’s seven years at Fraser, the health region’s budget climbed nearly 50 per cent, from $2.1 billion to $3.1 billion.

Even with the increase, local hospitals remain heavily congested and there’s been steady criticism that Fraser gets a lower per capita share of health funding compared to other regions.

Powell said it’s difficult to compare budgets of different health regions, because they perform different tasks.

He said the Vancouver Coastal and Provincial Health Services authorities spend enormous amounts on academic work and research that’s “essential” to improving health care and finding efficiencies.

If you can imagine it, you can achieve it.

If you can dream it, you can become it.

- William Arthur Ward

Good afternoon, ladies, gentlemen, friends, family, teachers, students, and the Class of 2014. We’re leaving our school with lots of interesting memories & a positive aspect. We stand here today ready to be on our way to the future. It begins right here and it begins today. No matter where we go or what we do, there will be challenges ahead of us.

What I’m asking from each of you, and from myself, is to meet those challenges straight on with your head held high and your heart wide open. It’s not enough to simply try to get by in life. That doesn’t move the world or you forward. You must try to excel in everything you do; strive for excellence in every task, large or small. We may not have the power to inspire the entire world to strive for success, but we do have challenge to each of you, and to myself, is to do all that you can to reach your full potential not just on the big stuff but each and every day. Like our quote says “We can do anything” If each of the 6 students in this graduation class is able to do that, just image the impact that we would have. The future is truly in our hands, so let’s make the most of it.

Krayg, we know everyone think you are the quiet one but we know better. Your strong observation skills when you watch us all get dramatic will help you keep a calm head in

Lesley, you are another one who know how to watch and stay out of drama but we have also seen your fun and adventurous side. It is this confidence and willingness to try new things that will make you successful at TRU. You will make a great social worker once you finish your bachelor’s degree. May you never come knock on any of our doors!

Spencer, you have been working hard at so many different jobs all through highschool that we know you will never be still but we wish you success in helping run Canyon Mobile and in your janitor week but most importantly we hope you get those weekends off to have some fun.

Meloy, we are so proud of you, for believing in yourself when others had doubt & pushing towards your goal.

Today you are not only graduating but also moving on to one of the greatest and most important careers.

You will be fighting for our freedom.

Our hearts and prayers will go with you and you will continue to have our support.

Justice, you may have come and gone a few times in our high school days but that is just because you have

been so busy tackling life. You have more experiences that most of us but that doesn’t mean you are done yet. We know your wedding in fall will go smoothly because of all the planning you have put in. And once you start on Austin’s books, with your bookkeeping courses, he will have no tax concerns! We wish you luck with your new adventures in Merritt.

Nick, you have also kept busy in so many jobs through high school.

We hope you enjoy your summer as a senior employee at Hell’s Gate and know that when you return to Kal Tire in September to continue working at your apprenticeship you will be just as valuable an employee to them as you have been valuable friend to each of us.

To our teachers, thank you for so freely sharing your time, talent and knowledge with us. Yet, we know it was your job to do it, but what you did for us went beyond the call of duty. You took the time to explain assignments, sometimes repeatedly because we weren’t paying attention.

You allowed us to come to your classroom after school for extra help when you could have gone home to spend time with your family. You put in the effort to make lessons more interesting so we wouldn’t just tune out. You demanded excellence from us whether or not we want to give it.

You set the bar high and challenged

us to live up to it. Thank you for believing in us and never giving up.

With your support, we will tackle our futures confidently, knowing that you are behind us ready to back us up no matter what.

we will hear your voices and see your faces in our minds.

For all of you out there we call family: whether you are parents, grandparents, relatives, support workers, friends or associates we would not be here without you. We know that you have stood by us, guided us, and supported us in so many ways. We want to thank you and let you know just how much we appreciate you. You may not see it on a daily basis but in those quiet moments when we sit down and reflect on who we were and who we have become we know it is because of you! When we are making those tough adult decisions in the future,

As you can see, behind each graduate there must have been at least a dozen people providing support in a least a dozen ways. The best way we graduates can show our gratitude it o make the most of the opportunity we’ve been given, and go forward into the world with the intention of making it a better place for the generations that follow us. We will pay the debt forward with gratitude as we grow and gain experience. We will guide those who come behind u with the gift of our time, our stories and our experience.

Remember we can and we will do anything! We thank you all for coming and sharing this day with us, please enjoy our celebration and have a wonderful time.

Remembering the war in June 1944 Contributor

I can well remember the trunk.

There it sat, in my parents’ attic, surrounded by the odds and ends of life that were relegated to that room; it was a large, gray steamer trunk that had been back and forth across the Atlantic many times, before finding itself in our house.

In our family, it was always referred to as “the treasure trunk.”

As a child, I was never too sure what was contained in its depths.

Furtive glances into it on the odd occasion when it was opened by my parents revealed that the “treasure” was not of the gold silver and jewel variety. In this trunk there was

an abundance of old letters, many dusty, brown-edged pictures, several old books and magazines, and innumerable boxes of souvenirs. Generally, the trunk was a repository of all the remnants of my parents’, grandparents’ and great-grandparents’ lives.

Our family moved to Hope in 1966, and the trunk followed us through a succession of moves, until it was finally deposited on the cement basement floor of our home on Hazel Street in 1975. There it stayed, silent, gathering dust, remaining largely unopened, hearing the rhythm and pattern of our lives pass by. In the cellar, the trunk heard my siblings as we left for each other’s wedding, brought home our new-born babies,

was the only thing that wasn’t ruined. The obstacles … were made of railway lines with the mines on the top. You know it was a horrible sensation in the water with mines about two feet from you and trip wires in the water to set them off, all around your legs.

“No, it was a ghastly business but it had to be done, and I was scared stiff through and through. My men were wonderful. The best in the world and they were magnificent but it was touch and go for a while.”

Upon reading this letter, I was struck at how very scared my father was, but how he went ahead and did what he had to do, like thousands of others on that day. I was also interested to see how he, who always called himself “a recalcitrant Anglican,” acknowledged the Almighty as being the main reason for his eluding death.

During the past few weeks, anyone watching the media could not help but know of the celebrations associated with the 70th anniversary of D-Day. Perhaps this letter, taken from a rather nondescript old “treasure trunk,” helps to put a human face on the sacrificial and personal cost that is war’s toll.

the invasion of France without a scratch, but I have only God to thank for getting us out of that hell hole.

“We were carrying in the third wave, reserves for the assault groups who landed just ahead. There were no enemy planes around although there was one shot down in flames – it might have been enemy or allied. The seas were very rough and most of the soldiers were very sick.

“When we got to the beach, or at least one

hundred yards off, we saw that the minefield and beach obstacles hadn’t been cleared, so it meant we had to pray to God and try and go through. Jerry mortar fire was very intense and there was a big gun, I think something like a six inch, that was lobbing the odd shell in our vicinity. The odd machine gun was going too. I was too scared to either pee or poo.

“We zigged and zagged around most of the mines, but eventually could go no further because of a mine on either side of us and three mines in front.

The bowman and I got into the water up to our waists and the soldiers started to leave. One of them was killed about five feet away from me…it was awful. Another was killed a little nearer the water’s edge and one badly wounded in the craft but he went on. One of my seamen was wounded by shrapnel on the head and shoulder by a mortar exploding two or three feet away. One of our craft was blown up about 10 yards away.

One man very seriously wounded – left on the beach with first aid party – the remainder got back somehow or other.

“We were in the middle of that … mine field for 25 minutes. God got us out. My Bible

and finally, attended each of our parent’s funerals.

In 1992, the trunk came to my house, and it was practically a year later before I began to sift through the contents. Slowly, I came to understand how appropriate was the name, “the treasure trunk,” for the letters therein gave me a window on the world of the past, a world that is no longer there.

Perhaps the most moving letters were those written by my father and his mother while he was involved in the Second World War. He joined the Royal Canadian Navy in 1941, and in early 1943 had gone overseas to the European theatre of war.

My grandmother’s letters to him are desperate, worrying ones, in which she wished for the day to hasten when she could see her only son again, prepare his favourite meals, and simply relish his presence amongst his close family.

A letter from dad to his family written the day before D-Day, is particularly poignant.

Without mentioning the inevitable conflict, he told his family that he was “going in” with their photographs in his breast pocket, and that if he were to die (he was 22 years old), a

Sports Crowd cheers student to triumphant finish Barry Stewart Hope Standard

“It was one of my proudest moments in my 30 years of working for School District 78,” said Coquihalla Elementary school secretary Sandra Loring.

She’s also grandma to two students at the school so on May 30, she was stepping out of the office to check on the sports day afternoon races, still wearing her phone headset.

On one visit, the crowd of hundreds of students, teachers and parents were loudly cheering, “Go Carter, go! Go Carter, go!”

Coming across the field — well over a minute behind his peers — was six- year-old Carter Perry-Sweeting, determined to finish the 50-metre race in his four-wheeled walker, despite his cerebral palsy.

“A lot of us had cameras in our hands — but we were all caught up in the moment and didn’t think to use them,” said Loring.

Gary Lewis had come to watch his grandson Gavin… and got volunteered to serve as first-place-ribbon-distributor for the afternoon races and tugs-of-war. When Carter was about two-thirds done, special education teacher Jennifer Wright stepped over to Lewis and told him something.

From my vantage point, as race-starter, I figured that Wright had a plan. I left my post, with camera rolling in video mode.

The crowd was getting more intense, calling, “Let’s go Carter, let’s go!”

Carter was slowing down, with about five meters to go, then — perhaps buoyed by the crowd — he surged across the finish line, with Wright bouncing in celebration.

In typical fashion, Carter was grinning with his whole body — and he kept it going when Lewis stepped up and handed him a first-place ribbon.

It was a magical moment for everyone that witnessed it, including his sister Autumn, who had put him in the race.

“Mrs. Kuhn (a special education assistant) and I asked him if he wanted to do it and he said ‘yeah,’” said Autumn, who is 15 years old. “We asked him if he wanted to go ahead of the other kids and he said ‘no.’ He even put his hand on the ground for the start, like the other kids.

“He wasn’t ready for the start, though. He was a little distracted,” she said, smiling.

When the other 20 boys took off running,

Carter Perry-Sweeting shows off the first place ribbon he received from volunteer, Gary Lewis, after completing the 50-metre race at Coquihalla elementary’s sports day on May 30. The whole school was cheering for Perry-Sweeting, who has cerebral palsy.

Carter started perhaps the longest-yet walk of his life, with Autumn following behind him.

“He stopped for a bit to play with some flowers,” she said. “I had to remind him that he was in the middle of something!”

Nearing the finish line, Autumn went ahead and joined the crowd to wait for her little brother.

Later on, she put him in the Grade 1 tug-of war and his blue team won first place.

“He was their anchor and I think he really helped his team. I just helped him stand up,” said Autumn, who brings Carter to school most days, on her way to Hope Secondary.

Growing up with such a special little brother has given her a career goal.

“I want to be an S.E.A. (special ed assistant),” Autumn said, confidently.

Mom, Charlotte, wasn’t able to see the race — but the photos, video and Facebook comments

have helped her share the moment.

Before he started school, Carter was harder to deal with, she said.

“He had separation-anxiety for years but school was the turn-around for that, with Mrs. Williams giving him a friend-for-day and kids taking turns.

“It’s crazy, how everybody treats him so great,” she added. “I was worried that kids wouldn’t understand or be as accepting as they are.”

Legion ready to take on RCMP in slo-pitch game Barry Stewart Hope Standard

Talk about a controversy: RCMP officer Dwayne Farlin will be playing for the Hope Legion #228 team when they take

on the RCMP this Saturday in a slo-pitch game at Sixth Avenue Park.

It’s the second annual “Legion Challenge to the RCMP,” and organizer Faye Stewart would like to see lots of spectators out to

cheer on their favourite players.

Farlin, who grew up in Hope, played for the Legion last year and Stewart said she was sure he got some ribbing for it from his fellow officers.

The nine-inning game starts at

“Players and spectators are welcome to come back to the lounge for a beer and a burger for five bucks,” said Stewart.

“Last year, the Legion won ‘by

a large margin,’” said Stewart, laughing. “You can put that in there — and that will get them going!”

Stewart said there is no charge for spectators.

“It’s just raising fun.”
