A community is in mourning, after the tragic loss of three promising young men in a car crash on Highway One, early Friday morning. The vehicle veered off the highway and crashed into the Hunter Creek Weigh Station at approximately 4 a.m.

Triple fatality shakes Hope Hope is in mourning after a horrific and tragic accident took the lives of three promising young men in a car crash on Highway One, early Friday morning.

“Everyone is very concerned obviously and it’s a very unfortunate circumstance that we have —we have three talented young people that will leave a huge hole in the community and I had a chance to visit with the families and they’re very close-knit and supporting each other,” said Mayor Wilfried Vicktor. “There were people from the community visit-

ing and they are well supported, but there is certainly nothing that will replace the people that have passed on.”

The three young men were officially identified by the B.C. Coroners Service as 20-year-old Bradley Webb, 19-year-old Devan Alexander Neil King-Peters, and 18-year-old Philip Morgan Peters.

The boys who were cousins and seldom apart, lived on Peters Road together and it is speculated by friends that they were heading from McDonald’s after a bite to eat when the accident occurred.

Fatal car crash takes three lives

Brad, who died on the morning of his 20th birthday was beloved by his community, family and friends.

“You can’t find anyone who had anything bad to say about Brad — he was respected, because he gave out respect. People have amazing things to say about him. He was a young man with a future and he will be missed,” said Vicktor.

Brad was driving the vehicle when it veered off the road and crashed suddenly into the Hunter Creek Weigh Station at approximately 4 a.m.

TRANSFER STATION INFORMATION & COLLECTION: The District of Hope Transfer Station, operated by First Class Waste Services and located at 22970 Trans Canada Highway, is open Tuesday through Saturday from 8:30am - 4:30, (closed statutory holidays).

Collecting Yard Green Waste in plastic bags puts an incredible strain on the taxpayer and the environment. In an effort to reduce this, the District of Hope Transfer Station now only accepts Yard Green Waste (Leaves, Clippings, Pine Needles, Plant Materials, Stalks and Prunings up to 1/4” in diameter) in containers or biodegradable paper bags, provided they are approved for organic materials (which are available at local retailers).

Pick up your FREE Yard Green Waste decals at the District Hall and affix to the containers you wish to reuse each tim e.

Containers should be no larger than the standard 32 gallon size to minimize the health and safety risk of heavy lifting to collection staff.

Please try and limit your Green Waste to 5 containers a week.

The District of Hope thanks you for your consideration and contribution to our environment.

RODENT CONTROL IN YOUR YARD The best way to keep rodents away from your house & yard is to get rid of the food source that attracted them there in the first place.That will probably mean asking your neighbours to do the same.

•Don’t leave pet food outside.

•Keep all garbage inside trashcans with securely closing lids •Don’t feed the birds with a feeder or by throwing seeds/ nuts into your yard •Make your compost unfriendly for them by keeping it wet, turning it often and having a secure bin to store it in.

DRIVEWAYS NEED A PERMIT We wish to remind the public that if you are going to put in a new driveway or upgrade an existing one by repaving or re-concreting, a permit is required to ensure proper drainage. Contact District Hall for more information.

“We were roommates, defense partners for the Hope Wildcats, and best friends — we played hockey together for 13 years,” said long time friend 19 year-old Branden Ottesen.

Brad was always a positive guy, there wasn’t one person who had a problem with him. He never got into a fight with anyone; he was always smiling and he knew how to pick people up when they were down.

Often making time for everyone and anyone, Brad will be remembered fondly among the people who knew him and as someone with future aspirations.

“He was going back to school in April to become a power line technician at BCIT in Vancouver, and I moved down there early to be his roommate and to make some money,” said Ottesen. “There was a concert we planned to go to after his birthday — he was always helpful and everybody loved him. We’re all kind of hanging out together right now, but everyone’s depressed.”

A grieving mother’s love was apparent as Norma Webb talked of the loss of her beautiful and vibrant son.

“We’re still in the works of deciding where the funeral is going to be and we’re going to do it all together with all three boys. It won’t be this Saturday because of our aunt’s funeral, but it will probably be the following Saturday. We haven’t got word back from the funeral home yet —we’re hoping for the Alliance Church in Chilliwack.” she said.

Boston Bar Elementary-Secondary School principal Debra Devine was inspired by a derelict greenhouse right in her backyard and decided to investigate.

Her initiatives to restore it and turn it into a functioning greenhouse garnered attention from the Vancouver Sun’s Adopt-a-School program, resulting in a donation of $12,000 to help fund her vision.

“This greenhousewas built around 1985 to 1988 — I think Tom Hendrickson, who is one of our trustees was instrumental in getting funding from the Lions Club,� Devine told The Hope Standard. “They built this greenhouse and they had a vice principal here; he was an agricultural teacher and they did very well for quite a few years.�

Since his departure the facility has been used to store old desks and to recycle cans and

bottles turning its once pristine visage into a bit of a dumping ground. “I live up here in Boston Bar and for grocery shopping and to have fresh produce, you have to drive pretty far — it’s forty minutes to Hope, but if you really want to save money and do some serious shopping you go to Chilliwack, so tag that on to your food and gas bill,� she said. “It gets pretty spendy.�

Part of Devine’s impetuous for change was rooted in the philosophy to get the kids excited about growing their own food.

By fostering a sense of agricultural cultivation, perhaps, inspir-

ing some future growers, conscientious of nurturing local produce, and by incubating a new generation of green thumbs, concerned with their environment, while providing quality and eco-friendly produce to a very deserving community, a much needed change could be forseeable “These kids have big

hearts, so my thinking was that if we created a program where we’re growing food for other people, the kids are going to feel better about themselves and they’re going to be excited.

If they’re giving back, and they’re giving to their community, that’s even better, that’s going to pump their little hearts up and make them feel good.�

Society still has a long way to go, despite equality initatives Premier Christy Clark issued a statement a couple weeks ago in regard to International Women’s Day, which played out on Sunday, March 8th. Clark wrote: Since International Women’s Day was first declared more than a century ago, women have made great strides toward full equality, but there is much work ahead.

In Canada and British Columbia, we can be proud of what we’ve accomplished, and the progress we’ve made, but too many women still face serious challenges at work, at home and in society as a whole.

I am proud to lead a team full of strong, talented women — one committed to securing full equality of opportunity for this generation of women and for those to come.

Let us all commit ourselves to a world where women have every opportunity to choose and pursue the life they want.

Clark made a valid point, but what needs to be looked at, is that every day should be women’s day — as a professed liberated society, it’s important to reach a level where a day is not necessary to be put aside to remind people that women are deserving of equality, respect and equal opportunity.

There are great disparities in our society, like any, but we are making strides to rectify certain existing imbalances.

Through the courage of men and women who are big enough to stand up and push for what is right and not just politically correct — their actions can be called progress.

Until it moves beyond an idealism, it will still be rooted in an ideal and not a reality.

As a society it’s important to stand by our convictions and to live by them, not just the boasting of heroic ideas. It’s important to understand the realities of them and to govern our actions accordingly.

Whether it be women’s rights, or the rights of other marginalized groups — until we fully realize what it means to act and live in the way of our convictions, Clark was right, we still have a long, long way to go, until we realize the collective dream of true equality.

Tuition, daycare aim to end single parent welfare trap B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher Single parents on social assistance will no longer lose their benefits when they go back to school, and will receive additional money for tuition, transportation and child care to complete their studies under a program announced Wednesday by the B.C. government.

Starting in September, the full costs of child care will continue to be paid for a year after the completion of skills training, and government-paid dental and other health benefits will also continue for a year to give people a chance to get back in the workforce.

Social Development Minister Michelle Stilwell said the program

will cover training programs up to a year in length, calling it “one of the most significant social program shifts this government has ever introduced.”

Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux said her ministry will cover daycare for any of the 16,000 single parents on income or disability assistance who want to be trained to join the workforce.

“We know that child care costs can be in excess of $1,200 [a month], depending where they are in the province,” Cadieux said. “Sometimes it’s less. We’re just going to make sure that they’re covered.”Surrey single mother Emi Yumura described her struggle to get back to work after leaving a “dysfunctional” relationship and ending up in a transition house with her two-year-old son.

This kind of bridge support is what parents in her situation need to get

off welfare and get established in a job, Yumura said.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond said her ministry has assembled a list of training programs that fit into the one-year window and have good employment prospects.

Bond said the provincial program may be able to match up with the federal Canada Job Grant where participating employers pay for part of the training, to extend assistance beyond one year.

“While certainly we’re looking at first-year costs and then continuing some of that support, part of my job is to make sure that we have employers that are prepared to step up, to be engaged with these individuals as well,” Bond said.

Reports of Bad Drivers The current law states that if you have a person in your vehicle as a witness, then you can use that person’s testimony in a court of law.

My suggestion to all concerned drivers on the road is simply this.Put a camera on the dashboard. Every vehicle should have one — then you have a recording as proof and a reliable witness that will stand up in court.

By implementing this technologically savvy move, especially in the digital era, you could ensure that you and your loved ones truly stay safe.

A few simple measures taken in a precautionary effort and in line with the capacity of what today’s digital era has to offer us, is pertinent and useful by today’s standards.

There should no longer be fallible human testimony, but the eyes of a camera, which do not lie.

Using these types of methods will prvide a solution to what some people might call bad drivers.

seen as a challenging exploration jurisdiction globally.

Despite this fact, and despite the current economic environment for commodities, the exploration industry has retained a prominent place in our province, serving as an important source of jobs and opportunity.

The Provincial gov-

ernment is to be applauded for its ongoing support of the mineral exploration sector and the steps it has taken to support the sector.

However, more must be done to make B.C. increasingly attractive to the investors and the exploration companies that can help move our province beyond the ups and downs of the

commodity cycle.

Imagine the prosperity that mineral exploration could bring to B.C., if we removed more of the barriers thwarting innovation and the growth of this environmentally safe industry.

Lester Pearson’s challenge I would like to congratulate the House of Lords in London for passing historic legislation which requires the British government to allocate 0.7% of their GDP to Overseas Development As-

sistance.

Why this is of such interest to Canadians is that was our Prime Minister, Lester Pearson, who in 1969, challenged the developed countries to achieve this level of funding

to those countries less fortunate than us.

Sweden, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Luxemburg and now Britain have achieved that target.

Unfortunately, despite promises by several

governments, Canada is still below 0.3%.

Perhaps it is time for us to pass such a law in Ottawa and honour the memory of a great man.

Training initiative bodes well for parents Raising a family isn’t easy. As British Columbians, we all come from different places in life, and we all face different obstacles that we have to overcome. For some of us, we need a little extra help to get our families over those hurdles. And that’s nothing to be ashamed of.

That’s why I applaud the recent BC Liberal Single Parent Employment Initiative, which will give 16,000 parents the opportunity to get trained for quality jobs without affecting their income assistance.

The program covers education costs for approved training programs, transportation costs to and from school, and basic child care costs during job training.

Creating quality jobs is the best thing we can do to protect and secure our families futures. As a taxpayer, I understand that government needs to support those in need. But I also expect those who are able to work to find good jobs and become contributors to

Do you have a huge problem with bad drivers?

Perhaps, you’ve gotten the blame for a road violation you didn’t commit — or that time you were backing up your vehicle and somebody slams in to you and won’t admit that they were in the wrong, or that they caused the crash.

Following said incident — perhaps they’ve gone and told the ICBC that it was your dereliction of due diligence while driving, potentially, landing you in a heap of legal and insurance battle’s that aren’t rightfully yours.

An extraordinary opportunity for artists across the country is being launched by the community of Salt Spring Island, B.C. with The Salt Spring National Art Prize (SSNAP) launching its inaugural year in a unique fashion.

“This is a good moment for Canadian art — I’ll be looking for art with rigour that is interesting, that is technically sound and is fluid and dynamic that brings context to global, cultural and local issues,” said Newfoundland and Labrador Juror Vicky Chainey Gagnon in a press release statement.

Calling out to Canadian artists in the community and across the nation, this small island, known for its creative passion in arts and sustainability, is honouring Canadian artists by providing them with the opportunity to earn up to $25,000 in prize money.

The winner will take home $10,000 and a one-month artist residency on this little gem of a Canadian island.The best part — jurors will not know who the artist is, so it does not matter who you are.

Of utmost importance is the artist’s creative skills, which should demonstrate originality, quality and integrity. The work should demonstrate a visual impact, while holding a depth of meaning.

PHOTO Artist exposure will be extensive because Salt Spring Island is Salt Spring Artist Bill Brownridge above and Salt Spring ArtistSUBMITTED Deon Venter known as one of Canada’s premier art communities. below display some of their distinguished pieces.

50 final works will be selected and displayed in SSNAP’s artist collective show catalogue. Original works will be exhibited and for sale at the historic Mahon Hall on Salt Spring Island, from September 25 to October 26.

“An art prize like this, that is, national in scope is a good thing because it allows for a bigger audience to participate — the work I might champion will be challenging and current, it will be art that pushes the boundaries of the medium,” said Manitoba Juror Holger Kalberg. The list of finalists will be announced Friday, September 25th, and winners announced at an awards gala on Saturday, October 24th.SSNAP welcomes artists Canada-wide to submit original two-dimensional and three-dimensional work. The Call for submissions is now open until May 31st.

Minimum wage to be tied to inflation

Tom Fletcher Black Press

B.C.’s minimum wage is going up by 20 cents in September, and will see annual increases to match the B.C. consumer price index each September after that.

It’s the first increase since 2012, when the current wage of $10.25 was set. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond said this

Your path to the future is here.

Our fastest Internet yet has arrived in Hope.

year’s increase reflects what would have taken place if indexing to inflation had been in place at that time.

The lower minimum wage for restaurant and pub servers is being retained, going from $9 to $9.20 in September. The discount from the general minimum wage will remain at $1.25 per hour to account for tips earned by servers, Bond said. Piece rates for seasonal piece workers are to receive proportional increases, as are day rates paid to live-in camp counsellors and residential caretakers at apartment buildings. B.C. is the last province in Canada to move to an automatic formula for setting the minimum wage. The annual increase will be announced each March based on the previous year’s consumer price index, and will take effect each September to give small businesses time to prepare.

In the case of negative inflation, which the province experienced briefly in recent years, the minimum wage would not be decreased.

Bond said she expects continued debate on the wage rate, led by the B.C. Federation of Labour, which is calling for an immediate increase to $15 an hour. Naomi Yamamoto, B.C.’s minister of state for small business, said consultation with business was clear that employers want predictable increases, not large jumps.

The September increase amounts to about two per cent, keeping B.C.’s minimum wage higher than Alberta and Saskatchewan’s $10.20 an hour. Using a similar formula, Ontario’s minimum wage rose to $11 an hour last year.

Sports Scoring goals dependent on target Barry Stewart

The Hope Standard

If you aim to score goals, it’s useful to have a good target to shoot at.

For perhaps twenty-five years, Hope Secondary School has had portable soccer goals that have gotten progressively less and less portable. Even when the wheels were in good shape, it was a many-person job to pivot the wheels in place and shift the goals to a new spot.

Then the wheel pivots rusted up, some of the wheels went missing — and even more people were needed to move the approximately 150 kg steel structures.

The beauty of portable nets is the ability to quickly shift them to a new spot, reducing the wear-patches that happen in front of permanent goals.

You can also quickly change the length of the field, to better suit the numbers or age of the players.

Last fall, HSS foods teacher and girls’ coach Jeremy Smith set out to upgrade the school’s goals. He pooled funds from a few sources for the $3,000 pair of aluminum goals, which weigh about a third as much as the old ones.

“Bruce Becker, of Hope Minor Soccer, went halfers with us,” said Smith. “We had some funds left over from our spring soccer camp last year and some money came from the school’s PAC. The goals came out of California and I borrowed a BARRY STEWART/ THE STANDARD friend’s trailer to pick them up at Sumas — I had a bunch of Assistant Nigel Wismath (left) and coach Jeremy Smith put pressure on Jessica Dupas at a Hope Secondary girls’ practice last week.

In Memory of

Bill Schwartz March 20, 2005 When evening shades are falling, And I sit in quiet alone, To my heart there comes a longing If he could only come home.

Friends may think I have forgotten, When at times they see me smile, But they little know the heartache My smiles hide all the while.
