School addition construction underway New drop off and pick up location for Coquihalla students Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

Site preparation for the new addition at Coquihalla elementary school is now underway.

Unitech Construction has been hired to manage the project, which will see an extra four classrooms built, additional washrooms, and the covered play area enclosed.

“It will be enough room to house all of the Grade 5s, 6s, and 7s,” said Natalie Lowe-Zucchet,

school district secretary-treasurer.

The addition is being built on the 6th Avenue side of the school, where the bus turnaround and visitor parking was.

Unitech Construction has been removing the concrete and preparing the site for foundation work. The parking area will be relocated and additional temporary parking has been established on the opposite side of the school.

Parents are being asked not to

drop their children off in the bus area in front of the school.

Instead they can be dropped off or picked up on Coquihalla Street, between 6th and 7th avenues. Two openings in the fence have been made along with walking paths so students can access the school.

Lowe-Zucchet said construction is expected to start within the next month and will likely take eight to 12 months.

“We’d like parents to be patient

with the project and direct any questions to the school principal,” she added.

“The board had expected the rooms would be available for Grade 5s, 6s, and 7s in the fall.

However, we will be discussing whether or not we want to look at getting the Grade 7s into the school for next year or put it off a year based on where we are with construction.”

Sewage discharge at Kawkawa Lake Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

A sewer line running underneath Kawkawa Lake ruptured on Sunday.

The district has since taken measures to shut down the pump station and First Class Waste tanker trucks are on site to transport sewage until the necessary repairs are

made. A dive team is expected in Hope this week to assess and fix the line.

“There’s nothing coming out of it anymore,” said acting CAO Donna Bellingham.

“Residents are not affected at all really. However, right now we’re asking people to stay off the lake until we can work with the dive team and

get the problem rectified.”

The lake water itself was affected by the sewer line break, not the District of Hope water system.

Although there was a relatively small amount of discharge, Fraser Health issued a precautionary warning.

Residents should never use untreated lake water for

followed by

wine & cheese

domestic purposes, such as drinking, preparing infant formulas, juices, ice cubes, washing fruits and vegetables, cooking and personal or dental hygiene.

The District of Hope has notified all required provincial authorities and all required water testing will be conducted.

Hope resident Danielle Sandgren was born with Alfi’s syndrome, a rare chromosomal disorder that causes mental and physical disabilities.

There are only 130 people in the world with the same condition. The doctor recognized it immediately when she was born and informed her parents Tracey and Ernest. It took three agonizing weeks of genetic testing to confirm the results. Life suddenly changed.

Providing the care of a child with disabilities is challenging, stressful – emotionally and physically, as well as financially. The ongoing costs to cover ongoing therapy and equipment necessary for a child with disabilities is expensive, and many of these costs are not covered by the health care system. All of this puts a financial stress on families wanting to provide all they can.

Mobility for Danielle was challenging and seemed unachievable, and made her feel different from everyone

B.C. will likely be the only province in Canada to report a balanced budget for the current year and project surpluses for the next three years, Finance Minister Mike de Jong says.

In a briefing for reporters on what to expect when the annual budget is presented Feb. 17, de Jong said the surplus for the current year will be larger than the $444 million forecast in November.

Corporate and personal income tax has

been stronger than expected, but there is no certainty that will continue into the new fiscal year that begins April 1.

The second straight surplus after billions in deficits the previous four years will be used to pay down debt, but there is some room for helping poorer people, de Jong said.

He hinted that this may include a change to the long-standing practice of deducting spousal child support payments from social assistance and disability payments to single parents.

Bighorn sheep in the Kootenays are among the restricted hunting species in dispute between resident hunters and guide outfitters.

“There are some areas where we believe there have been pressures on the programming side,” de Jong said. “We have a little more ability to deal with them and relieve some of that pressure, to assist people in greatest need.”

NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth said he is hopeful the child support clawback policy will be changed after more than a year of protest by the opposition. And he said the government isn’t telling the whole story about balancing the budget using “tax in-

creases by another name.

“You’re going to see higher Medical Services Plan premiums, higher ICBC rates, we’re already seeing higher fees for camping,” Farnworth said.

The next budget will also provide tax relief for the wealthiest B.C. residents, as a two-year increase on incomes more than $150,000 a year comes to an end. De Jong imposed the 2.1 per cent hike in his pre-election budget in 2013, after then-NDP leader Adrian Dix promised a similar move to help

balance the books.

The recent plunge in oil prices has had a major impact on revenues to Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland, but B.C. has largely escaped that due to continued gas production but little oil from B.C. petroleum fields.

De Jong emphasized that with the continued glut of shale gas produced across North America, it remains an urgent priority to develop liquefied natural gas exports to Asia before B.C. revenues fall further for lack of sales.

The B.C. government has adjusted its plan to give guide-outfitters and their non-resident clients a greater share of big-game hunting permits, after protests from resident hunters around the province.

When the plan was announced in December, the government calculated that it represented a shift of 168 animals in limited-entry hunt areas from resident hunters to guide outfitters.

After listening to the protests, Forests Minister Steve Thomson announced last Friday that is being adjusted to a shift of about 60 animals to guide-outfitters.

The changes affect bull elk and either-sex elk permits on Vancouver Island, moose in the Thompson and Omineca regions, bison in the Peace region and bighorn sheep and grizzly bear in the Kootenays.

“I made slight revisions to

There are 34 limited-entry hunts in the province that are divided between resident hunters and guide outfitters, who typically guide clients from the U.S. and Europe.

Resident hunters enter a regional lottery for the available opportunities.

Allocated hunting opportunities represent about eight per cent of the 45,700 biggame animals taken by hunters each year in B.C. In most areas, hunters can purchase a tag for each species that has an open season.

Thomson announced the policy change after more than 10 years of consultation with guide outfitters and the B.C. Wildlife Federation and local rod and gun clubs that represent resident hunters.

He defended the shift to assist guide outfitters as a trade-off that prevented them from using unoccupied guide territories around the province. Those areas are now left to resident hunters.

Rural revival vowed in throne speech Black Press

The B.C. government presented a cautious preview of the coming year with its speech from the throne Tuesday, predicting a rural revival through industrial growth while lowering earlier aggressive expectations for mining and natural gas exports.

Read by Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon to begin the spring legislature session, the speech announced the formation of a rural advisory committee to “provide independent and impartial advice on helping rural B.C. increase opportunities, manage growth and meet its full potential in communities big and small.�

As the government continues to await investment decisions for liquefied natural gas facilities, the speech noted that LNG “could create 100,000 jobs and the revenues to eliminate our debt,� adding that exports are needed to maintain a gas industry that already employs 13,000 people.

The speech referred to five new mines opening since 2011, but avoided mention of northeast coal mines that have closed due to low commodity prices that also threaten the continued operation of metal mines in B.C. Much of the speech touts earlier achievements, including the carbon tax on fuels and a settlement with B.C. public school

The government also plans to launch a new “medal of good citizenship� to recognize those who donate their time and money to improve their communities.

Opinion

A6 Hope Standard Thursday, February 12, 2015

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

A relaxed attitude on marijuana The attitude towards marijuana in this province is in sharp contrast with the approach in other parts of Canada.

Proof of that comes in details from a court document filed as part of an application to seize a property near the Aldergrove border crossing which was the subject of a massive search.

Although the large property just drew public attention a couple weeks ago, the documents suggest it has been used for marijuana production since 1993. That’s a 22-year period.

It is important to keep in mind that, in 1993, growing and selling marijuana for any purposes was illegal in Canada. While there were advocates for medicinal marijuana, which has since been allowed, growing, selling and using the product could lead to criminal charges.

Yet as the documents suggest, there was plenty of marijuana being grown in Langley (and other parts of B.C.) at that time.

Some was for local consumption, and some was truly for medicinal purposes. However, the vast majority was grown for shipment to the U.S. and other countries, often in return for other drugs or guns.

B.C. residents have had a more laissez-faire attitude towards marijuana since the late 1960s, and a willingness to put up with marijuana growing, if not actively partaking in what has been a big business, has been strong for many years.

Could any other province have been so receptive to marijuana activist Marc Emery who, after serving several years in a U.S. jail, is encouraging American marijuana users to come here and buy their supply — even though it remains illegal to sell it, except for medicinal purposes?

It seems likely that, if the legalization of marijuana in Washington and Colorado turns out to be successful, marijuana will be legalized throughout North America some day.

If that does happen, B.C. marijuana activists, and the laissezfaire attitude that so many B.C. residents have, will have played a major role.

Post-secondary ‘re-engineering’ begins B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher Premier Christy Clark’s push to “re-engineer” the B.C. education system is moving ahead aggressively in B.C.’s 25 post-secondary institutions.

One of the first tasks for Andrew Wilkinson in his new role as advanced education minister was to outline the shift in operating grants for colleges and universities to indemand occupations. By 2017, a quarter of the money for post-secondary institutions will be directed to areas where labour force surveys forecast a need.

This was greeted with some alarm when it was announced last year. Simon Fraser University president Andrew Petter at first down-

played the coming skills shortage as “relatively small” and warned against pushing post-secondary institutions into a “zero sum battle for dollars.”

Petter has since come on board, as his approving comments were featured in the ministry’s Jan. 26 news release detailing the shift. He and others have been assured that in spite of Clark’s rhetoric, suggesting trades training is in and university is out, the news for SFU and other universities isn’t all that bleak.

Wilkinson is completing a province-wide tour of all post-secondary institutions this week, and I reached him at his visit to Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops.

“The response to this has generally been pretty good, because the students are putting this pressure on institutions themselves,” he said. “Some of the institutions are … shrinking things like teacher

education and putting more effort into the science-based, quantitative fields that are often related to these in-demand occupations.”

The surplus of teacher graduates has been noticeable for some time, but that’s largely a function of oversupply, much of it in urban areas. In the Cariboo, for example, teaching jobs are projected to have the highest number of openings by 2022, followed by nursing and retail and wholesale trade managers.

Then come heavy duty mechanics and electricians, but also paraprofessional jobs in legal, social, community and educational services.

Province-wide, it’s part of a broader demographic shift to fewer children and more retirees. In fact the government started this targeted funding a decade ago with health care, forcing universities to produce more doctors, nurses, lab techs and so forth.

Standard

The retiring baby boom is expected to account for more than half of the openings in the next decade, which will expand the skills demand across most fields, beyond the trades training for the anticipated liquefied natural gas industry and other high-demand industrial areas such as truck driving.

Wilkinson notes that of the ministry’s $1.9 billion budget, about 60 per cent goes into general postsecondary education, for introductory courses that students take when they are seeking a career path, through undergraduate studies to professions.

“So I think the idea that we’re going to somehow minimize or diminish funding in that general education, arts and science category is just not true,” he said.

Key to this shift is measuring the performance of courses offered at colleges, universities and techni-

The results are available on a website that breaks them out by institution and general study area. To find it, do a web search for “BC student outcomes” and select the “executive dashboard” to check the results for courses and schools in your region.

The site provides charts showing the percentage of students who land relevant jobs. Not surprisingly, it tends to be higher for technical programs and lower for fine arts.

It also shows grads’ average wages, a sobering but useful bit of information for high school students and their parents.

Transfer station mess needs to be addressed What happens to our recycling?

Approximately a week ago, I was at the local landfill – or transfer station as it is now called – to drop off cardboard for recycling. While there, I noticed a long pile of garbage that had cardboard and blue bags dispersed throughout. Alongside the garbage was a pile of blue bags also with cardboard.

I asked an employee if they still recycled cardboard and he replied that they did. But he said that he didn’t know why both blue bags and cardboard were in the garbage. When I was leaving, I saw an employee use a small tractor to push the blue bags along the cement to make room for more deliveries. Some of the bags were torn with their contents spilling out and moving them in this manner only aggravated the situation.

I take my cardboard to the transfer station because I saw a First Class Waste employee throw my neighbour’s cardboard in with the garbage. As a person who recycles and attempts to do my best to preserve our planet for future generations, I felt very insulted and my efforts at recycling to be disrespected.

I believe our former council (and some of those councillors are on the new council) gave First Class Waste a mandate to operate the transfer station. First Class Waste knows the regulations regarding garbage disposal and recycling, but are they following those regulations? Who is overseeing this company and their operations at the transfer station?

I hope our new District of Hope council does something to improve this situation.

A local resident believes council needs to do a better job holding First Class Waste accountable for following garbage disposal and recycling regulations.

Small town people are Eyesore on Water Avenue there to help when needed needs to be dealt with On Jan. 9, my motorhome burned to the ground on the Emory Creek Bridge.

Ambulance, RCMP and fire department were on site very quickly.

I want to thank the ambulance attendants for checking me over and allowing me to stay at the site.

Special thanks to Const. R. Tumbus who stayed with me until we were allowed to leave, giving me advice and answering any questions

I had. He was very kind and compassionate.

Also, thank you to Elaine and Sue from Boston Bar, who let me and my little dog keep warm in their vehicle.

They did a lot to help me get over the trauma of the accident.

Once again, small town people are there for you when you need someone.

Pipelines better than train derailment It is high time we started saying yes to pipelines.

A train load of oil cars should not be allowed within 100 miles of our mountainous Fraser River and Thompson River canyons.

This Fraser River and estuary tidal zone would never fully recover from a major oil train derailment. We should be getting very serious about looking after it rather than trying to restore it.

My wife and I moved to Hope in 1995. We lived in northern B.C. for 18 years and I loved my job up there and the people, but the area was not really where we wanted to live in our retirement.

When I got the chance to move to Hope with my job after the harshness of the climate of the north, we felt like we had move to Hawaii because of the sheer beauty of living in this spectacular scenery.

Unfortunately in the 20 years we have lived here, as we all know the local economy has taken a major downturn.

However, it does not mean that we cannot

take pride in the appearance of our community to compliment this beautiful scenery.

I have particular issue with the unsightly building on Water Avenue as you come over the Fraser River bridge by the campground.

I am of the understanding that we have an unsightly property bylaw. When I went to town hall, I was informed that council couldn’t do anything about it as it’s private property. I am sure if I had something as unsightly as that on my front lawn, I am sure my neighbours would complain and it would have to be removed. I honestly believe that

town council is dragging their feet on this issue and it is about time something was done as we have been looking at this eyesore long enough along with many other properties in this town.

I admire people running for council but if you accept this respon-

temperatures, heavy rain and negligible snow” led to the “regretful conclusion” to suspend operations for the balance of the season.

With a set closing date of April 4 and no snow forecast in the next 14 days, the ownership group made the decision to “stop losing money on a daily basis.”

Even if the snow did

magically appear, staffing would be an issue now.

The resort hired approximately 100 part-time staff, many of whom had already left the hill for other work. Hemlock will honour the 2014/2015 Seasons Pass holders for the 2015/2016 season, regardless of any potential price increases. For more information, visit www. hemlockresort.ca

Local model competing on world stage Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

Angela Sutherland will be representing Canada in the Top Model Worldwide 2015 competition.

The 24-year-old Hope resident was chosen as a grand finalist from more than 4,000 entries to compete March 1314 in London, U.K. “I am so blessed to have a chance to work with the best in the industry and as a new model it’s incredible,� said Sutherland. “Modeling is something I’ve always wanted to do. It’s a passion of mine.�

Sutherland was drawn to performing from an early age. She began dancing at the age of three and over the years has applied her stage experience to other areas. She’s worked as a showroom model for a Vancouver designer and

SO FT BA LL .M Y

worked with local photographers to gain experience and build her portfolio.

Sutherland has also been working as a background actor for film and TV, and was cast in Christmas Icetastrophe which was shot in Hope and Chilliwack “I’m really inspired by people in the industry. I want to be an inspiration as well and really help people achieve their goals,� said Sutherland, who currently works as a server at 293 Wallace Street Restaurant and as a housekeeper at Fraser Canyon Hospital. “I think modeling is expressing who you are.

It’s a break to get away and be confident and be the person you envision yourself to be. It takes a lot of work, dedication, and a professional approach.�

Top Model Worldwide is one of the lead-

ing international professional model search competitions. The experienced team of industry professionals provide top-level coaching, guidance and support for finalists.

In addition to the many awards decided by a panel of judges, there is a public vote award which generates public support for each contestant and raises money for charity. All profits from voting go towards Top Model’s chosen charity, which for 2015 is Children with Cancer UK. Sutherland’s charity fundraising page is www.virginmoneygiving.com/AngelaS. Voting ends on March 11.

Sutherland is currently looking for sponsors to help with her competition efforts. She’s already partnered with 293 Wallace Street Restaurant, who secured

her final spot in the competition. Anyone can sponsor Sutherland through the Top Model website at www.topmodelworldwide.com.

Sutherland also wants to reach out to designers who would like to build their resume and have their clothing showcased on an international runway stage.

In addition, she’s currently fundraising to help cover her airfare, accommodation and transportation expenses. Sutherland recently

suffered setbacks, which impacted her ability to save for the trip. In December, she was hospitalized by a virus that kept her away from work for more than a month.

Soon after, she found out that her mother was very ill and used the little money she had to be with her. Anyone interested in helping Sutherland can make donations online at www.gofundme.com/ la8nwc. They can also be dropped off at 293 Wallace Street Restaurant.

trails open since Nov. 29 and the Alpine area has been open since Dec. 12.

With the coast ski areas closing or experiencing marginal conditions this has been a great benefit for Hope. Not only is there still skiing for locals, but many people from the coast are being drawn to Manning Park – stopping in Hope along the way for meals, gas, and other supplies.

Manning Park Resort offers a family-friendly atmosphere, but it’s not a small resort. It provides accommodations for up to 420 guests through a combination of lodge rooms, cabins, chalets and even the historic Last Resort which can house up to 50 of your closest friends. There are also year round camping options including one of the last remaining ski hill RV sites in the province. To make all this happen, the resort has massive infrastructure in place including backup generators, water treatment facilities and accommodation for 135 staff members.

That’s 135 people who head to the Hope area for shopping opportunities, restaurants, movie nights and more. Several staff also make their homes in the Hope area. Manning Park Resort provides employment opportunities for locals and also tries to support local businesses where ever possible.

UFV chancellor looks to lead by example Jessica Peters Black Press

Dr. Gwen Point has been installed as UFV’s chancellor, becoming the second person to hold the ceremonial position.

A crowd of about 400 people gathered on the Chilliwack campus last Wednesday to witness the historic event, as Point was appointed to the role by B.C. Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon. Warm applause turned to cheers and then a standing ovation for Point, as she was dressed in her dark green chancellor’s robe and cap. She mouthed the words “thank you” as a First Nations drumming circle beat out a powerful rhythm and sang the honour song at her feet, below the stage.

While her family and friends in the audience held their hands open, Point jubilantly moved her fists to the beat of the drums, smiling and nodding.

In her speech, the new chancellor spoke about difficult beginnings, friendships, and moving forward.

“This is special,” she said, “because this is a house of learning.”

Despite not finishing high school initially, education has been a constant thread throughout Point’s life, leading up to her new role as the ceremonial head of UFV. “I didn’t get to finish high school, not because I didn’t want to but because of the conditions of the times,” she said. “But I wanted to get my Grade 12 and my mentors said ‘write your GED and apply.’

I did, and I’ve never looked back.”

Point first took courses at UFV in the 1980s, when it was the Fraser Valley College. Her husband, now former Lt.- Gov. of B.C., Steven Point, also studied at the school in its early days. As Point’s education and career grew, the school’s did as well.

She became a member of the board of governors at UCFV, and then an assistant professor at what is now a fullfledged university. Point stepped down from her role as an assistant professor in the School of Social Work, in order to take on the volunteer

Dr. Gwen Point was installed as the new Chancellor of University of the Fraser Valley on Wednesday during a formal ceremony at the Chilliwack campus. Point is the second chancellor for UFV — before her was Dr. Brian Minter from 2008 to 2014.

chancellor position. She had been teaching First Nations Studies, including Stó:lo Nation Development, and Stó:lo Communications and World View.

She holds a Bachelor of Education degree from UBC, a postbaccalaureate diploma from SFU, and a Master of Education degree from the University of Portland, and is near completion of a doctorate in education from SFU. She also holds an honorary Doctor of Education degree from the

University of Victoria.

“I am very pleased to be working with Dr. Point,” said UFV President and Vice-Chancellor Mark Evered.

“She brings a unique balance of community and university experience, leadership and understanding. She has served our university as a teacher, a scholar, an administrator, and a board member, has held a number of offices in government, including the senior office of Chatelaine, and is a passionate leader, men-

tor, and role model in our community. She is an outstanding addition to UFV.” Point has taken over from Dr. Brian Minter, the university’s first chancellor.

Minter served two three-year terms, from 2008 to 2014.

“This is a very sad day for me, and a really happy day, too,” Minter said, addressing the UFV Board of Governors. “The choice you’ve made is simply outstanding.”

Barry Delaney, chair

of the Board of Governors, was one of many officials to speak at the ceremony.

“The ideal chancellor carries out duties

with warmth and distinction,” Delaney said, traits that are part of Point’s nature. “She is modest. She is passionate about this place and about the Fraser Valley.”

Point said she’s looking forward to her new role, and in the continuing role of mentor for those in pursuit of higher education.

“My grandmother told me that what you know has no value,” she said. “ It’s like sand in your hand unless you pass it on to others. I know that teaching the community about the Stó:lo people has made a difference and I really believe that it is an act of reconciliation.

It is helping to create a better understanding of recent history. Every class, I would see a shift and transformation in the students.”

When she started teaching in 1990, there were only two or three aboriginal students in her class. In her final class last year, there were 26.

“There is a willingness to reach out and make space for aboriginal students here, and the question is, has that made a difference?” she said. “That is the bottom line, and yes it has.”

UFV is a place of diversity, she said, something that is evident in the student population, the connections with students in other countries, as well as the mix of academic and trades studies.

“We live in a time where we have so many opportunities here,” she said, “and you really want to look at that diversity. My elders said you don’t teach your children all the same thing because they’re all different.”

In the end, she said, changing the future comes down to offering yourself as a positive role model.

“You can only teach by example,” she said. “I hope I can shine a light for others and encourage them.”

Nestlé continues outdoor education support Hope Mountain Centre will be able to continue their programming for the next three years, along with expanding programming into the Chilliwack area, thanks to support from Nestlé Waters Canada.

For the past six years, Nestlé Waters Canada has sponsored outdoor education in Hope and the surrounding communities. Hope Mountain Centre has also received support from other partners, including Fraser-Cascade school district and the Fraser Valley Regional District.

“The more children and their parents get into nature, the more likely they will protect it into the future. Everyone needs Vitamin N,” said Stephanie Hooker, Hope Mountain Centre outdoor educator.

“Nestlé Waters has been an excellent sponsor who believes in the value of our programs and the need for healthy ecosystems. They support us beyond the finances with resource materials and resource people. Their support is greatly appreciated”.

The recently announced $71,550 sponsorship from Nestlé Waters Canada will support forest ecology, wetlands and watershed education for adults and students from pre-school, Strong Start, and Grade 3-5, as well as community family events and summer programming. Last year, the Nestlé-sponsored programs reached over 1,500 people.

plained, as a team might undersell their skills, to get put in the easier side of the draw. Returning teams are easier to assess.

“There were a few blowouts — but we also had the most ties I’ve ever seen

at this tournament,” said Smith.

In the B-division final, Abbotsford’s T-Snakes won easily over the WSBR team organized by Brock Bergen, with players from Hope, Agassiz and Chilliwack.

In the A-final, the Greasers from Chilliwack had a 4-2 win over last year’s champions, the Abbotsford Flyers, said Smith. Winning teams were awarded commemorative shirts.

When you’re the longtime organizer of a men’s hockey tournament, it might just end up being named after you. That’s the way it’s gone for the annual “Dusty’s Tournament” that attracted 14 teams to the Hope Arena last weekend.

This is Dusty Smith’s seventh year coordinating the event, which drew teams from the Fraser Valley and as far north as Quesnel.

“A lot of teams have guys that grew up in Hope and they end up coming back for the tournament,” said Smith. “It turns into a bit of a reunion.”

Action started at three o’clock on Friday afternoon and most of the visiting teams stayed overnight at six motels, said Smith.

“An Abbotsford team even rented a minibus from Meloshinsky’s to get them from their motel and back.”

Good idea, as Saturday night was party night in the mezzanine.

“The beer garden was the most packed that I’ve seen it in the seven years I’ve been running the tournament,” said Smith, a recently-elected councillor for the District of Hope. “A lot of guys were there with their wives or girlfriends.

“Mark Petryk brought in a DJ from Vancouver and we also had a beer pong tournament, with six teams.”

Back on the ice, Smith had split the teams into a six-team A-division and two pools of four teams in the B-division. The $800 entry fee gave teams a three-game guarantee, with three periods of 20-minute running-time — and also helped pay for the referees and scorekeepers.

“We had 26 games, so we had six refs working on the weekend, with the twoman system,” said Smith.

Choosing where to place a new team can be a bit of a guessing game, Smith ex-

OBITUARIES

Graham, Hewitt (Buzz) Lyle October 18, 1926 - January 22, 2015

Hewitt “Buzz” Graham passed away peacefully at Heritage Village in Chilliwack on the morning of January 22, 2015, surrounded by his family and loving wife, Ellen of 65 years at the age of 88.

Buzz was born in Laidlaw BC and loved the outdoors. He could often be found in the woods enjoying nature and animals as a young child. He began his life as a logger as a teenager and worked hard every day until his retirement at 65. He operated sidewinders on Fraser River, Harrison, the Sunshine Coast and worked at camps around the province. He was a proud ‘boom man’ and respected for his skill in the operations. He loved the opportunity to sit and talk about the good old logging days.

Buzz married Ellen in 1949 at the Anglican Church in Hope and they had five children, fours boys and a girl.

Buzz loved his family and would go without to make sure everyone had what they needed. He has 13 grandchildren and loved to treat them to a walk to the store for a bag of candy and slushee whenever they would visit.

Buzz was well known in Hope and would walk downtown almost every day. He always had time to talk, share a laugh and would make anyone he met feel like a friend. He was a long-standing member of the Eagles and enjoyed a game of pool and a screwdriver with his fellow members.

Buzz loved to play darts and bowl, winning many trophies one pin away from the perfect game. He enjoyed listening to good old country music, playing crib and spoiling his pets. He took pride in his poached eggs and clam chowder.

He loved watching his children and grandchildren play sports and supported all their endeavours.

Buzz will be remembered for his sense of humour, hard livin’, hard working, his charm, wit, generousity and love for animals. He loved his wife Ellen through thick and thin and would count on ‘momma’ for a good meal. Their love endured to his final day with her lovingly by his side.

He will be survived by his wife of 65 years, Charlotte ‘Ellen’ (Prest) Graham, his sons Don (Michelle), Ken (Karla), Ed (Christy), his daughter Bonny (Tim), and son Rick (Nerine) and grandchildren Matthew, Farley, Taze, Kara, Byron, Courtney, Jason, Kelly, Taylor, Carter, Maddi, Morgan and Mackenzie and many great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his brothers Les and Earl and sister ‘Sis’.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Heritage Village Seniors Care Home where he received love and care from staff who became part of his family. Buzz enjoyed his days here by the koi pond feeding the fish and ‘Buzz’s Bench’ will be placed in the garden in memoriam. Donations to : Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation - Buzz Graham Memorial Bench Fund - “Heritage Village” in the cheque memo.

Donations can be dropped off at the office in Chilliwack General Hospital or be mailed to: Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation, c/o Chilliwack General Hospital, 45600 Menholm Rd, Chilliwack BC V2P 1P7.

Buzz loved a party and a Celebration of Life “Irish Wake” will be held at the Eagles Hall in Hope, B.C. (386 Fort Street) on Saturday, February 28th, 2015. Memorial service at 3:00pm followed by food, drinks, music and sharing stories about the good times at Buzz’s request.

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Mary Evelyn Smith (Walkey) in the early morning of Jan. 30, 2015 at the Fraser Canyon Hospital.

Mary was born on May 24, 1932 in Port Hope, Ont. For the last three years she was a resident of Park Street Manor in Hope. Prior to that Mary lived for 30 + years at All Hallows in Yale, BC. Mary is predeceased by her brother Ernest Walkey of Port Hope, Ont. She is survived by her son Roy Smith (Sheila) of Vancouver, daughter Evelyn Brett of Yale, grandchildren Danny and Amber Brett of New Westminster, sister-inlaw Anne Walkey and nieces Martha and Alisha of Ontario and their families.

Mary loved gardening and was a member of the Hope Garden Club. She was also a member of the Yale Ratepayers Association.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Yale Community Centre (the former site of the Yale School) on Feb. 21, 2015 at 1:00 - 3:00 pm.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made in memory of Mary to the Heart and Stroke Association or the Cancer Society.
