Two more candidates are planning to add their names to November’s municipal election ballot.

Glen Ogren, owner of Hope Brewing Company, has announced his intentions to run for the community’s top job, while Dusty Smith is seeking a seat at the council table.

Body of missing man found Vikki Hopes Black Press

The body of an Abbotsford man who was last seen in Hope on Aug. 24 has been found.

Tim Rutherford, 46, was found in the Jones Lake area by search and rescue teams on Sunday evening, confirms friend Angie Korkowski.

She said it appears that Rutherford hit a soft shoulder while driving his Ford Explorer SUV in an off-road area, and the vehicle rolled about 200 feet. Rutherford had been camping in the Jones Lake area near Hope since mid-August and was last seen by a camp ranger at about 1 p.m. on Aug. 24, when he was parked at the Jones Lake pullout near the Highway 1 exit 153.

Rutherford had been working with Abbotsford’s Joshua House recovery ministry, for which Korkowski

is executive director, when he quit his job on July 28. Korkowski said Rutherford indicated he was going to go camping, and he spent the first half of August at Rolley Lake in Mission before moving to the Jones Lake area. He was keeping in touch with friends every couple of days, but they grew worried when they didn’t hear from him after Aug. 21 and could not reach him on his cellphone. Korkowski, her husband, and a friend went searching for Rutherford on Friday, Aug. 29 and reported him missing to Hope RCMP when they found his campsite but no sign of him or his vehicle. Hope RCMP issued a news release on Sept. 2 about Rutherford’s disappearance. Korkowski said a search and rescue team was called in by RCMP on Sunday, Sept. 7, and he was found late that evening. She

said he will be deeply missed by the recovery community, who has lost a “wonderful man.”

“Tim touched so many lives, helped so many people with their recovery. He was passionate and kind. He was like a brother to me in my darkest days … I’m just glad we brought him home,” Korkowski said.

Rutherford is listed on the Joshua House website as a house facilitator. His biography indicates that he turned to alcohol and drugs at an early age to escape an abusive past, but he had been clean and sober since 2006.

“Joshua House has allowed me to use my God given gifts here. I’ve never felt so at peace and content as I do now,” he stated in the write-up.

Details on Rutherford’s memorial service have not yet been finalized.

The Sedin twins are visiting Agassiz Henrik and Daniel Sedin are well known for their generosity.

Now, the two Vancouver Canuck forwards are launching a new charitable organization, and kicking it off right here in Agassiz during the Fall Fair.

The Sedin Family Foundation is being celebrated in a special event this Saturday.

The two Canucks will be on hand, with their families, at 2 p.m. at the new Kent Community Recreation and Cultural Centre.

Over the past hockey season, the Sedin families hosted ‘Sedin Corner,’ a suite at Rogers Arena, to recognize charities and groups doing good work in the areas aligned with their family’s outreach objectives.

In 2010, the twins teamed up to donate $1.5 million to help build a new BC Children’s Hospital.

The public is invited to join the Sedin twins at the cultural centre, beside the Agassiz Fall Fair grounds.

Terry Fox Run this weekend Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

The annual Terry Fox run/ walk in Hope is being held in a new location this year.

Residents are encouraged to run, walk or cycle the fivekilometre route through the scenic area around the airport.

“We chose the airport because it’s an area we know is popular for walking and it’s more accessible for everyone,” said Mandy Arbuckle, assistant manger of Recreation, Culture and Airpark Services.

“I think it’s a great opportunity to get together and raise funds for a good cause and a good organization. We’ve already had people signing up this year who are new to the community.”

The run/walk kicks off at 10 a.m., with registration at 9:30 a.m. Participants can complete the loop around the airport as many times as they want since the event runs until 2 p.m. There will also be

a paid barbecue, music, and kids games on site.

Terry Fox was diagnosed with bone cancer in his right

leg in 1977 and had his leg amputated 15 centimetres above the knee. While in hospital, Fox was so overcome by

the suffering of other cancer patients that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research.

Fox’s Marathon of Hope took place in 1980 with the simple objective of informing Canadians about the importance of finding a cure for cancer. He ran an average of 42 kilometres every day for 143 days, but was forced to end his run on Sept. 1, 1980 when cancer spread to his lungs. Fox passed away on June 28, 1981 at the age of 22.

This year marks the 34th annual Terry Fun Run. To date, the Terry Fox Foundation has raised more than $650 million worldwide for cancer research.

Pledge forms for the local run/walk can be picked up from the Hope recreation centre, Blue Moose Coffee House, and Owl Street Café. Donations can also be dropped off at the airport on Sept. 14.

Teacher vote ‘a ploy,’ Fassbender says Tom Fletcher Black Press

B.C.’s striking teachers were expected to vote yesterday (Sept. 10) on the union’s proposal to take their long-running dispute with the province to binding arbitration.

B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker says the union is willing to send not only its wage and benefit demands but its proposal for class size and special needs support to an independent arbitrator.

The BCTF wants $225 million a year to improve classroom conditions, spent only on new teachers, as an interim

solution while a court challenge is heard. The government has budgeted $75 million a year, some of which goes to teaching assistants who belong to the Canadian Union of Public Employees.

The B.C. government rejected arbitration on the weekend after it was presented Friday by Iker, as the strike went into a second week of the new school year. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said he would not hand the budget implications of a union settlement over to a third party.

Fassbender reiterated that position Monday,

calling the move “a ploy” by the union.

“Arbitration is not something this government is going to consider,” he said.

Iker said results of the vote would be available last night. A yes vote will give certainty to the union’s position and binding arbitration is the “easiest way” to get schools open again, he said.

NDP leader John Horgan also called on the government Monday to make the “unprecedented” move to accept arbitration. Horgan said if

the government is secure in its belief its wage offer is fair, it should have no concern about the results.

“We’re in uncharted territory, where we’ve had the longest strike in B.C. history, and it’s time we put an end to it,” Horgan said.

Asked if he would support raising taxes to pay for a new deal with the province’s 40,000 public school teachers, Horgan said the budget has contingency funds to cover unexpected costs.

good enough for teachers,” he said, referring to a 2002 arbitration that resulted in $400 million in increased doctor fees.

NDP education critic Rob Fleming said an essential service ruling by the Labour Relations Board to reopen schools isn’t likely to offer a quick solution.

The board views the fall strike as separate from the long teacher workto-rule campaign and two weeks of closed schools last June, and so far neither side has applied for such a ruling, he said.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender says the province may take extraordinary steps to ensure senior secondary students’ school year is not cut short by the teachers strike.

That could mean adding days to the school calendar later in the year, he said, to ensure Grade 12 students in particular complete their courses and get all the marks they need.

“Do you put it on the end of the year? Do you take it out of Spring Break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays?

My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said.

“It’s going to depend on how long this drags out. Whatever length of time it takes to get this settled, we will do everything we can to make sure the school year is kept whole for those students.”

of the $12 million per day in strike savings may be consumed by the province’s offer of $40-aday payments to parents.

“If they were accumulating the savings, that would be one thing – they would have a fund,” Vancouver School Board chair Patti Bacchus said.

“But they’re giving away the budget right now to parents that would be otherwise available to pay for that.”

As of Monday, 74 per cent of parents of eligible public school children under 13 had signed up for the $40 payments, which are expected to be made as a lump sum after the strike ends.

Other costs that the province continues to incur while schools are closed include salaries for school administration as well as support staff with other unions that are eligible to be compensated for pay lost for not crossing teacher picket lines.

Support staff costs could hit $5 million a day once all their union locals ratify new contracts.

Education ministry officials said school districts would be consulted on any potential changes to the school year to mitigate the strike.

But Bacchus said she’s heard nothing so far and predicted it would be disruptive to families that have booked vacations and made other commitments far in advance.

“It’s not going to be easy,” she said, noting changes would also require exemptions from School Act requirements.

Talk of calendar adjustments is another sign of possible long-term implications from the strike, even though it has only disrupted the first few days of the new school year.

Parents have scrambled for limited space for child care, day camps, tutors and even private school placements for their children.

Stepping up to meet the demand have been independent schools and, increasingly, public school teachers no longer drawing a regular paycheque who are ad-

vertising “tutor” services online.

“I work for the Surrey School District and I am willing to tutor your child in the comfort of your own home,” reads one Craigslist post from an elementary school teacher.

Distance learning through independent online schools is another option. The B.C. Online School run out of Kelowna by Heritage Christian Schools has been swamped with three times the normal number applications for distributed learning from students across the province as a result of the strike.

“We are overloaded with kids coming to us, particularly those in Grade 12 who want to get a particular course and get their requirements for university,” said superintendent Greg Bitgood.

The online school, which is half funded by the province, instructed 3,400 students in its summer school – three times the normal number – and turned away another 6,000. Demand has surged again now that the strike has spilled into September and pushed back the scheduled start of classes. Bitgood is weighing whether to hire more teachers in response. But it’s risky because a deal or government legislation could send teachers back to work and students back to regular classes, said Bitgood, who emphasized he also wants the public school shutdown to end quickly. There’s only four such independent schools that offer distributed learning to students in the public system, Bitgood said, adding “there’s no way” the industry can meet the demand created by the strike.

Hope Search and Rescue is in need of more volunteers due to declining membership over the last several years.

The team is launching a fall recruitment drive this Saturday (Sept. 13) to add new blood to the group. “It’s a great thing to get involved in,� said HSAR president Barry Gannon, pointing out that members learn a number of skill sets when they join the team.

HSAR is currently looking to fill eight to 12 spots to bring the total number of volunteers to 30. Currently, there’s 19 members. When the numbers drop, the team usually relies on nearby SAR teams for mutual aid during a callout. “We like to ensure we have at least 10 people at any given time that can respond to a search or rescue,� said Gannon.

The wide gulf that divides Any hope that students would soon be back in school ended last Wednesday with the duelling press conferences of Premier Christy Clark and BCTF president Jim Iker.

The reality of empty classrooms and quiet hallways in what should be the start of a new and exciting school year failed to soften the intransigence demonstrated by both sides in this dispute. To say they’re not on the same page would be generous. They’re not even in the same book. That this dispute will lurch to some kind of conclusion is certain. The question is what that reality will look like.

There is a fundamental difference in the way the two sides believe education should be run in this province. It is a rift that dates back to 1998, when then NDP Premier Glen Clark gave the BCTF control over class size and composition in exchange for wage concessions. It was a deal struck between the government and the union – and one roundly denounced by school boards across the province because, they argued, it deprived them of authority to manage their own school districts. The agreement set rigid caps on teacher-student ratios and class composition. But what might sound good on paper, trustees complained, meant that a new teacher had to be hired if a classroom exceeded the limit by even one student. Making matters worse, there were insufficient funds provided by government, leaving school districts with no choice but to gut their non-instructional staff to avoid a deficit (something they cannot do).

So when the Liberals swept to power, one of the first things they did was strip that language from the contract. If decisions about class size and composition were to be made, they argued, they should be done at the local level and with a degree of flexibility that kept those decisions manageable.

What they failed to check was the legality of the move.

The issue remains unresolved after the B.C. Supreme Court ruled the government had acted unconstitutionally. It’s still before the courts. However, what’s in question is the way government removed the provision from the last contract, not that it can’t be renegotiated in a future contract.

So here we sit, with the BCTF unwilling to surrender a contract gain its members paid for (and the courts have said was constitutionally valid), and a government unwilling to return to a position it believes was fundamentally flawed.

Granted, there are a host of other issues that are keeping the two sides apart.

But the biggest is the ideological shadow over who should control classroom conditions: the employer, or the employee. And an amicable agreement on that is unlikely to come any time soon.

Factory model fading for schools B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher The B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s latest demand, for binding arbitration on selected pocketbook issues of its members, is going nowhere.

This follows months of the union’s insistence on mediation. First a B.C. Supreme Court judge met with both sides and walked away. Then the BCTF’s preferred choice, Vince Ready, agreed that mediation won’t fix the current version of the mess he last examined in 2007.

BCTF president Jim Iker announced the arbitration gambit on Friday, in one of the webcasts he uses to rally the union’s exhausted

membership. Education Minister Peter Fassbender replied that with five minutes’ notice to the government’s chief negotiator and lacking specifics on what would be subject to arbitration, the proposal would forfeit the government’s mandate to control costs.

“This government will not raise taxes in order to provide a settlement to one union that does not reflect what the other public sector has done,” Fassbender said.

In short, there will be a negotiated settlement, eventually. The union chose to begin the strike, and now must find a way to end it. The government’s position in this dispute is unlike any of the many that preceded it. And it points the way to an evolution of education that cannot be stopped.

The announcement of a $40-a-

day payment for days lost during a fall strike for children under 13 was greeted with scorn by the BCTF and its echo chambers. Parents won’t be bribed, they want school, not daycare, it’s an insult, went the refrain.

By this week, nearly 80 per cent of eligible parents had enrolled, faced with pickets at their schools and real and mounting child care and tutoring costs. The union executive said members who are parents should refuse the money.

Some B.C. teachers have begun advertising tutoring services online.

With distance learning and other online education options expanding in all 60 public school districts, the digital revolution is unfolding quickly.

The B.C. government made a couple of announcements in April, one about moving to digital versions

Standard

of textbooks and another about a digital merger of 1,600 school libraries with public and post-secondary schools. Growth of options accelerates.

Largely drowned out by the noise of 1970s-style industrial labour strife, the B.C. public school curriculum is being refashioned for this new age. Among its goals is to “allow teachers and students the flexibility to personalize their learning experience to better meet each student’s individual strengths and needs.”

One of B.C.’s early models for selfdirected learning is Thomas Haney secondary in Maple Ridge, where senior high students are expected to make their own way through course work, learning to manage their own time.

It was here that the first couple of Grade 12 students showed up last

week to begin making up for lost time from the strike that set in last spring. Self-directed study has become a crash course.

Private schools are also swamped with applications from Grade 12 students looking for particular courses they will need by next year.

In the short term, Fassbender says the lost strike days will likely have to be restored to the school schedule.

“Do you put it on at the end of the year? Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said.

In the longer term, the whole factory model of school is on the way out.

Letters Settle dispute with binding arbitration

Hope Standard Thursday, September 11, 2014 A7

Negotiations between Christy Clark’s government and the BCTF have not led to an agreement. This is due, in part, to the BC Liberal’s insistence on having the right to override an unfavourable decision at the upcoming October court case on class/size composition. Rather than “letting the courts decide,” as Education Minister Fassbender has repeatedly said, the government wants to make sure that they control the outcome.

To this end, they have introduced Ar-

ticle E 80 to the bargaining table. It outlines inferior class size and composition provisions and then states: These provisions supersede and replace all previous articles that addressed class size, composition, and staffing levels.

So, if the court in October restores the superior language that was stripped from the teachers’ contract by the Liberals in 2002, the BC Liberals intend the court ruling to be superseded by the provisions outlined in E 80. These provi-

sions, in effect, strip the language from the contract once again. For our education system, this means larger classes, more special needs students in a class, fewer counsellors, librarians and so on.

In negotiating terms, this article is known as a “poison pill” — an article so damaging the other side cannot agree to it. This impasse has convinced the BCTF that it is time to move to the next step.

Binding arbitration would resolve the dispute between teachers and the gov-

ernment and schools would re-open.

Contact Premier Christy Clark (premier@gov.bc.ca), Education Minister Fassbender (peter.fassbender.mla@leg. bc.ca) and MLA Laurie Throness (laurie. throness.mla@leg.bc.ca) to encourage them to “Say Yes To Arbitration.” Thank you. We need your help in getting our students and teachers back to school.

Lynne Marvell President, Fraser Cascade Teachers’ Association

Be respectful expressing strike opinions To the woman who drove by the picketing teachers: Last week there was a post on our school Facebook page, asking for parents and students to come out and walk the picket line with teachers.

Just for an hour or so, to show support. I went to work early so I could take the hour.

Not many people came, but it was a week day, and kind of last minute, so I wasn’t surprised. It was nice to see a few moms there with their kids. The school is in a residential area with little traffic compared to other sites.

As I was talking to the teachers I began to notice something. Each time a vehicle approached the group, the expressions on the faces of the teachers

became identical - it wasn’t fear (after all, these are elementary school teachers and it takes a lot to scare them), it was something more like trepidation.

Some people waved and smiled, some people looked straight ahead, some people turned away. Then there was you. You were driving too fast for me to get your licence plate number but I did see the face of your toddler hanging out of the front seat of your vehicle. I didn’t hear what you yelled; someone told me about that later. I did hear the tone of your voice and I got a glimpse of the triumphant look on your face.

I have some advice for you. You are entitled to your opinion. It is obvious that you don’t support the teachers.

That being the case, you could have chosen to express yourself by simply driving by or by stopping to speak to the group. You could have written a letter to your MLA or your school board trustees.

Instead, you chose a cowardly taunt and no doubt took pleasure in bragging about it later. I guess you got what you wanted. However, I keep thinking about your child.

At some point, that child will enter the public school system. It’s possible that you have other children, and perhaps they are already students. Your children will reap the benefits garnered by those resolute women standing on the curb. You will depend on them to make sure that your child has

a safe, nurturing, effective learning environment, where they will learn that everyone needs to be treated in a respectful manner. You will come to them if your child complains of being bullied or is falling behind. They will do everything in their power to ensure the success of your child and of every other child.

Do you know what they won’t do?

They won’t scream profanities at you.

Even though they know who you are, they will focus on your child and look beyond you.

Do you know why they will do that? Because they have class, and right now all they want to do is teach one.

Aug. 6 of this year was one of the bad times.

As I rowed around the lake at the rock slide nearest the highway, I found that someone had collected a large amount of garbage into one heap, and very kindly dropped the whole thing into about 10 feet of water – too deep for me to retrieve until the water recedes a lot more. There were potato chip bags, bottles, cans, plastic bags, etc.- even a pair of women’s high-heeled shoes!

I was very angry at such

Brigade Days

Aaron Pritchett rocks Hope Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

Canadian country star Aaron Pritchett arrived in Hope on Friday ready to party.

From the moment he jumped on stage to kick off his high-energy show with “Let’s Get Rowdy” and “Light It Up,” he kept fans on their feet throughout the night dancing in front of the Sports Bowl stage.

Having spent several years growing up in North Bend and Boston Bar as a child, Pritchett’s return to Hope was somewhat like a homecoming.

“Lots of time was spent in Hope,” he told the crowd, in between taking sips from his red solo cup. “Cheers Hope. Cheers to Brigade Days. Cheers to you all.”

Pritchett performed a variety of his hits from the last decade which included “Lucky For Me,” “Hell Bent for Buffalo,” “Done You Wrong,” “New Frontier,” “My Way,” “Warm Safe Place,” “Big Wheel,” “Suntan City” and “Boat on the Water.”

After over an hour of entertaining and engaging the crowd, chants of “Hold My Beer” brought Pritchett and his band back on stage to perform one of his most recognizable hits. He broke into a medley of classic rock songs in between his performance of “Hold My Beer,” which included “We Will Rock You,” “Living on a Prayer,” “Summer of 69,” and “We’re Not Going to Take It.” With numerous top hits, music videos, tours with Alan Jackson, Toby Keith and Brooks & Dunn, Pritchett has gained a significant following across Canada.

Over his career he has earned many accolades and awards, including a Canadian Country Music Association award for Independent Male Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year in 2007 for “Hold My Beer.”

The night’s entertainment kicked off with a set from emerging country band Me & Mae. Fronted by Shawn Meehan and Jacky Mae, the group pumped the crowd up with singles from their debut album, including “What Cha Wearin’” and “Tailgate Party,” as well as a few original covers.

Hope’s Roger Dalton then took the stage with legendary guitarist Jerry Doucette. Known for his gritty music with punchy lyrics, Dalton worked the stage with a high-energy set that included songs like “Hell Songs Like Heaven,” “Lucky I’m a Guy,” and “Dirty.”

Agassiz teams shine at weekend ball tournament Barry Stewart Hope Standard

BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD

Using a little tongue action to guide his throw, Kolby Skalicky of the Chilliwack Outlaws delivers the first pitch of the Brigade Days two-pitch tournament, Friday evening at Sixth Avenue Park. The Outlaws squared off against the A-Town Ballers of Agassiz. The Ballers finished second to the Agassiz Shufflers in the 14-team event.

The game of two-pitch baseball came back to town for the Brigade Days weekend, attracting 14 teams from down-valley and a few from local or formerly-local players.

“That’s two more than last year,” said organizer Jeff Smith on Tuesday. “We could have done more but we need more facilities for that.”

Games started at 6 p.m. on Friday, using two diamonds at Sixth Avenue Park and one at C.E. Barry School. Diamond No. 1 had the lights on for a second game before the fireworks display kicked off at Sixth Avenue Park.

There were 30 games in total, with teams paying $350 each for a four-game guarantee. The top four teams got to play an extra match for the prize money of $350, $250, $150 and $100.

Two-pitch has a history of being self-regulated by volunteer umpires from other teams but Smith figured he would make things cleaner and simpler by bringing in paid umpires this year.

“I play slo-pitch in Chilliwack, so I asked Bob Cochrane (slo-pitch umpire) to arrange all of the umps for me. It made my life a whole lot easier,” said Smith, who played on Chilliwack’s Filthy Animals team on the weekend.

“My slo-pitch guys aren’t used to some of the two-pitch rules but we’ve taken the rules down to about as easy as you can get,” explained Smith. “The big adjustment was on a caught fly ball. In two-pitch, it’s a dead ball and everyone else gets to go back to the base that they came from.”

In slo-pitch, other runners could get tagged out — or they could tag up and try to steal a base, as in traditional baseball, he said.

Despite the mixture of slo-pitch, two-pitch and “haven’t played in years” players, Smith said the games were relatively close.

“Nobody lost all that badly, even though there was no ‘mercy rule,’” said Smith, who grew up in Hope but now resides in Agassiz. “And there were no injuries that I’m aware of — and I’m a first aid guy.”

“We couldn’t have asked for better weather, either,” added Smith. “Not to complain — but it was even a bit hot out there!”

In the end, it was Agassiz-based teams that claimed the top three places and $750 in prize money. Jimmy’s Pub beat the Hope-based NGAFs in the consolation final and the Agassiz Shufflers edged out the Ballers for first place.

The game of two-pitch got its start in Hope in the early 1980s and was very popular until 2007, when only six teams were registered and the league folded shortly after. Slo-pitch had a short run of a few years and now the local diamonds are underutilized, though Hope Minor Softball is making a comeback.

Meanwhile — despite its smaller population — Agassiz has kept the game alive.

“I think they had 19 teams this year,” said Smith. “They play from April till just about July.

“Some of the players are from Hope, too. Hope could get it going again — but no one wants to step up and organize it,” he said.

Smith should know of what he speaks, as he was also the Brigade Days president this year.

“I took it on, on a temporary basis, hoping that someone would step in… but no one did.”

The rebirth of Hope Minor Softball gave Smith some hope that the town could rekindle the two-pitch game as well.

“Don’t take it too seriously, though,” he advised. “Just go out there and have some fun.”
