Waterworks user fume over planned rate increase Local 753 Waterworks Ltd. says money needed for upgrades

By Erin Knutson Hope Standard

Local 753 Waterworks Ltd. users are outraged this week with the advent of a letter written on behalf of the water distribution company for an application to increase utility costs.

The initial letter gave Hope residents dependent on the system two weeks to respond, further fueling the fire, and adding insult to injury according to protesting voices, who flooded the Hope Standard with concerns, calls, and letters to the editor.

The 753 Waterworks Ltd. letter

states to users that funds are needed for further repairs and upgrading to a system that has been degraded over the years. The request has arrived on the back of a recent application on behalf of the company that included a 300 per cent increase just over a year ago.

“It is required to fund the shortfall in funding to put in a new well at an estimated cost of $190,000 and the amount of funding available in the utility’s replacement reserve accounts. The new well at a greater depth of 140 feet compared to the old well at 100 feet is required be-

cause the water reserve is not filling at levels high enough for the old well to efficiently access the water,” stated the original letter drafted and signed

by Neil Murphy of 753 Waterworks Ltd. The increase stipulates that the current fee of $30 a month will be increased to $50 a month on September 1, including an additional levy of $190 per month for three consecutive months for a total of $570 per household.

“This is ridiculous,” said Dale Kjemhus, current 753 water user.

“They wait until the equipment is

totally outdated and the situation is desperate and then they want the client to bale them out.”

Concerns over paying to a company that has recently been assisted by the District of Hope, has users wondering why they are paying into 753 when the District is still needed to facilitate proper water flow by supplying the emergency hook up.

“Perhaps the system should just be turned over to the District of Hope,” said Kjemhus.

Mayor Wilfried Vicktor responded on behalf of the District, which Continued on page 3

Coroners service hopes to solve Boston Bar mystery Body of man found 25 years ago still unidentified The BC Coroners Service is requesting the public’s assistance to identify a male who was found deceased near Boston Bar 25 years ago.

The Identification and Disaster Response Unit of the Coroners Service continues to work to identify a number of cold cases involving previously unidentified remains.

This is the case of a white male who was found in a remote forested area near North Bend (across the river from Boston Bar) in December 1989. He was likely between 30 and 40 years old, balding with short, dark brown hair and a trimmed moustache. He was about 170cm (5’7�) tall, and 75kg (165lbs) in weight, with

a medium build and fair complexion. He had a small scar below his right knee and a partial upper denture. He was wearing a blue and white ski jacket, blue sweater, dress shirt, dark grey dress pants and new Oxford-type shoes. He also wore a hand-tooled leather belt with an elaborate design.

Glasses were found nearby

which indicated near-sightedness and high astigmatism.

There were some British coins in his personal effects, indicating that he may have been from the UK or had recently visited there.

If you have information regarding the identity of this person, contact the BC Coroners Service at 604 660-2556.

An artist’s reconstruction of this male and details of the belt design can be found on the BC Coroners website at: www.pssg. gov.bc.ca/coroners/unidentified-cases/1989-0516-0009.htm The Coroners Service notes that the facial reconstruction was completed by a forensic artist and should not be considered an exact likeness.

Water user given 30 days to respond has no current plans to take over the 753 Waterworks system, citing that bailing out a private company for poor maintenance practices, or covering for a provincial regulatory authority is not a good fiscal move. “The hook up was not intended to bale out 753 indefinitely,� said Vicktor. “A letter to the Water Comptroller indicating a strong

opposition to the high increase in fees will be drafted, as well as a strong request for accounting as to where the reserve funds have gone to, and to ascertain what the province has done to properly oversee the maintenance of the system.�

A second letter has since been drafted by 753 to customers, extending the deadline to 30 days from the original date of September 1.

“We cannot understand or accept the proposed special levy over and above the rate increase — if the levy included the monthly rate, perhaps they could make a case, but$190 a month, out of nowhere for three months is ridiculous and obscene,� said Don Boxall, a current customer of 753 Waterworks.

B.C. seeks mining agreement with Alaska Tom Fletcher Black Press

B.C. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett is spending this week in Alaska, his second trip this year to work out a formal agreement on mine regulation between the state and the province.

Bennett has meetings lined up with Alaska conservation groups, state legislators, commercial fishing representatives and Alaska Governor Bill Walker. With major mine projects proposed on both sides of the border and continued public concern in the wake of last year’s Mount Polley tailings dam collapse near Quesnel, Bennett is hoping to

have an agreement ready for Walker and Premier Christy Clark to sign later this year.

Several B.C. mine projects have opened or received permits to proceed this year in northwest B.C., where salmon-bearing river systems extend across the Alaska panhandle to the Pacific Ocean.

Two of those mines are just north of Stewart B.C. and Hyder, Alaska near the Unuk River, which flows into Tongass National Forest in Alaska. Brucejack Mine is an underground project expected to proceed with construction this year. Its tailings are to be returned to the mine shaft, reducing concern

about environmental impact.

Near Brucejack is the KSM Mine, one of the largest copper and gold ore deposits in the world.

It was given B.C. permits last year for a design that includes open pits and a pair of tunnels to carry ore 23 km away for processing.

Bennett plans to fly into the Taku River region, where B.C. has issued permits for the Tulsequah Chief mine south of Atlin. It also plans a tailings storage site to restart mining on two ore deposits that were previously mined in the 1950s. “We’re going to meet

with dozens of different interests and people, do a lot of listening, but also make sure that Alaskans become a bit more aware of how much access their government has to our processes in B.C.,�

Bennett said.

The Alaska government participated in the approvals for KSM and others, but many state residents aren’t aware of that, he said.

Many Alaskans are aware of the Mount Polley situation, where recovery work continues a year after millions of tonnes of mine waste poured into Quesnel Lake.

Election 2015: Politicians make pitch to parents

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

Parents are spending the money and feeling the love like never before from parties contesting the Oct. 19 federal election.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper expanded his favoured approach

of direct payments, increasing the Conservative government’s child care benefit plan that has been compared to the former Family Allowance.

The increase was set up to produce bonus cheques to eligible parents in July, retroactive to the start of the year.

Payments went up from $100 to $160 a month for each child under six, with a new $60 payment for those aged seven to 17, payable to families regardless of income or method of child care.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau responded by promising a modified version that would phase

out the benefit for highincome families and increase payments for the rest.

Building into its calculations a proposed income tax cut for middle and low-income people, the party estimates a two-parent family with an income of $90,0000 and two children would

Mulcair has said the Quebec program allowed 70,000 mothers to return to the workforce, and the NDP program would be available to private daycare operators as long as they are independent and not “big box” operations.

Green Party leader Elizabeth May is also offering a universal federally-funded child care program, including support for workplace daycare through a direct tax credit to employers of $1,500 a year.

Salmon barbecue a success

By Donald Stokes

Special to The Standard

With milder weather providing a nice reprieve from what has been a dry summer, Hope recently played host to The Great Fraser River Salmon BBQ Competition 2015.

The event, which was accompanied by a steady drum of warm rain, saw the coming together of eight teams out of a possible ten. A successful first trial, the BBQ went smoothly, regardless of a few bumps here and there. “It had laughs, and a few twists and turns with lots of fun to be had by all,� said Donald Stokes, event-coordinator and conceptualist.“There was a mix of BBQ and smoke teams that saw a variety of backgrounds, ranging from competitive BBQ enthusiasts, to backyard chefs, to the more traditional aboriginal smoked salmon players.�

Offering a wide selection of the finest salmon BBQ to be tasted by all, quality pieces of the native fish were in high quantity and demand, offering a rare treat for all salmon lovers who attended. “This proved to be the first of what is hoped to be an annual event, hosted in part by the Hope Lions Club, with funds raised going toward local projects and the conservation of the Fraser River and its salmon,� said Stokes.

Winners of the BBQ portion of the com-

Erin Knutson

Corey Campbell was part of the Campbell brothers duo, who won the People’s Choice portion of the competition.

From the Hot Smoked section, Mad Cow (first place,) AB-Original Foods from Boston Bar/ Hope (second place,) and the Rotary Roasters from Hope (third place.)

The People’s Choice went to Bad Ass

BBQ for their BBQ submission and the Campbell brothers from Hope won the smoked category.

Janet has a great love of the outdoors and it shows in her artwork.

Her paintings and photography often depict beautiful landscapes or scenes of people enjoying outdoor leisure time around Hope. Janet knew she wanted to retire in Hope when she discovered there were art classes offered. She has been a keen participant at the Art Machine for many years, as it challenges her, and helps her to maintain momentum with her work.

Robbie primarily works as an acrylic painter, but is also fond of water colours. Like Janet, she gravitates to outdoor landscapes but also loves to depict wildlife. Her work is

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

Summer reminder Everyone can be part of the solution to end the scourge of impaired driving Summer is still in full swing, the patios are packed with people enjoying a cold one and backyard barbecues and picnics abound.

Unfortunately, summer holidays, sunshine and high temperatures can combine to concoct a deadly cocktail of people drinking and driving.

RCMP hold roadblocks and police the roads best they can, but we all need to do our part to end drunk driving.

Only a concerted effort will drive the message home that we need to put the brakes on drinking and driving for good.

If you know your circumstances may include a couple of drinks, take the time to arrange a ride home or ensure you have a designated driver.

It’s much easier to take the time and plan ahead, compared to what you will deal with if you drink and get behind the wheel. It can save your life, the lives of those you love or the lives of innocent others.

One bad decision can leave scars that never heal and a trail of shattered lives ruined by a booze-fuelled lapse in judgment.

You can be part of the solution by letting the police know if you see someone who is drinking and driving.

While programs like drinking and driving Counter Attack and media coverage have resulted in a reduction in impaired driving offences, the sad reality is there are still people out there who just don’t get it.

So please, enjoy your summer and help spread the word that there are more than just the RCMP watching.

With more time, will more voters care?

B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher Several readers took me to task for last week’s commentary on the beginning of our long, hot federal election campaign.

They pointed out, among other things, that there are substantial cost increases to Elections Canada as well as higher spending limits for the parties. And thanks to generous tax deductions for political donations, taxpayers subsidize all party spending whether they want to or not.

That’s the system as it is today, so rather than rail against it, it seems more useful to ask what we’re getting for our forced investment in this exercise.

First, more leader debates. The traditional main event organized

by TV networks for Oct. 8 appears to be a bust, with only Liberal leader Justin Trudeau and Green Party leader Elizabeth May expected to attend. Conservative leader Stephen Harper declined, prompting NDP leader Thomas Mulcair to say he will only take part in debates that include Harper.

Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair have agreed to a Sept. 17 debate hosted by The Globe and Mail and Google Canada. This one is to be focused on the economy, which should force participants to get beyond their talking points and pointing fingers.

On Sept. 28 there will be a debate focused on foreign policy hosted by Munk Debates, a charitable foundation. Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair have accepted. May and Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe were not invited to either of these.

The national media have decided that the biggest issue currently is the trial of suspended senator Mike Duffy, but this has turned out to be a rehash of facts and assertions heard many times over by those who care.

The expense account abuse has pushed the issue of senate reform to the forefront. Harper declared his intention to starve the Senate by refusing any more appointments, after most provinces ignored his call to elect their nominees.

Trudeau, having expelled all Liberal senators from the party caucus, has warned that Harper’s plan and Mulcair’s long-standing position to abolish the Senate are both unworkable, if not unconstitutional. Trudeau has promised changes to the senate appointment process, but no specifics so far.

Harper has promised to revive a stimulus program from the 2009 economic crisis, offering a 15 per cent tax credit for home improvements between $1,000 and $5,000. This sounds great if you’re a homeowner, but does nothing for renters, drives up the cost of housing in already overpriced urban markets and encourages more consumer debt.

Trudeau has promised an additional $2.6 billion over four years for First Nations education on reserves, and accelerated spending on school infrastructure.

Mulcair has promised to hold a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women. Mulcair and Trudeau both pledge to reverse the Conserva-

tive moves to eliminate what’s left of door-to-door mail delivery, and to extend the age of eligibility for the Old Age Security pension from 65 to 67.

All of these promises are presented in the most appealing way possible by the parties that promote them, and all involve spending and taxation trade-offs that the parties would prefer not to discuss.

Another possible dividend from a formal campaign stretching more than two months is that more voters will pay attention to the real issues and actually take the time to cast a ballot. If that happens, and the long decline in voter turnout is reversed, it’s a good investment.

Letters Proposed rate increase draws fire Apparently 753 Waterworks Ltd. has applied for another increase in utility costs. They have asked for input, but it is interesting to note that the increase is set for September 1 2015, giving only a couple of weeks for people to respond.

It would appear that this rate increase is a forgone conclusion.

I wrote in complaining the last time that 753 Waterworks applied for a 300 per cent increase — they stated they needed funds for upgrading and repairs. I felt, that as a good manager, monies should have been put aside for these obvious upcoming

repairs that would be required over the years. Instead, they just keep going to the trough and having the home owners cough up the money.

This last rate increase was just in the past year or so. I heard nothing back from the Deputy Comptroller of Water Rights and the increase was just implemented.

Now 753 Waterworks is again stating they need money and want an increase from $30 a month to $50 a month

by September 1, 2015. They also want an additional levy of $190 per month for three months, or a total of $570 per household.

This is ridiculous. 753 Waterworks takes our money and appear to make no effort to set aside monies for necessary repairs. They wait until the equipment is totally outdated and the situation is desperate and then they just demand more money from the client.

Where is the responsibility on this company to keep the equipment updated instead of just pocketing all of the income? Why is their lack of management my responsibility to fix?

I am stilly paying 753 Waterworks monthly but now understand the District of Hope is actually supplying the

water. They are still being paid and are not even supplying the product.

Perhaps a better scenario is that the Waterworks just be turned over to the District of Hope.

I assume the government agency will just hand over our money rather then hold this management group responsible for the upkeep on its equipment. I can only assume that is the reason we received so little notice and there is no mention of any public consultation.

Dale Kjemhus Hope

Realistic Water Rates for the 753 Water District The increase in monthly water fees in 2014, from $13.00 to $30.00 per month, (130 %) may have seemed excessive, but a further application being presented for an increase from $30.00. to $50.00 per month, (a further 66%) seems exorbitant.

Not to mention the surcharge of $570. per user.

However, we may well look at the other

side of the coin. I have heard figures from 192 to 300 users on the 753 water system at the present time. If you allow for 200 households that actually pay their water bill, that amounts to $72,000. per year. If the hydro bill for 753 is $200. per month (I`m sure it is higher), that uses their first $2,400., leaving approximately $70,000. to operate the

system. If one person, with one dedicated truck, was able to do invoicing, collections, accounting, weekly water samples, file provincial reports, trouble shoot water leaks, check the pumphouse and reservoir, do the water shutoffs and turn-ons, and any other small functions, then that would more then use up the other $70,000. This

would leave nothing for general maintenance, minor repairs, pump replacement, or capital expenditures for improvements.

I do not feel that mismanagement on their part should result in emergency water rationing and financial hardship for the users.

I do feel that it is in our best interest to keep the water system stable and

He told me “not to worry” as we are perfectly within our rights to put up larger signs on public property.

The same goes of course for the other political parties, so long as they don’t obscure the signs from other parties.

It is common in these campaigns for Conservative supporters to “stir the pot” and to attempt to discredit the NDP, especially when they know that Seonaigh MacPherson has a good chance of winning this campaign.

I had an opportunity to hang out at the emergency ward in Hope Hospital last Saturday. I was very grateful for this opportunity.

I could not have been more pleased. The entire staff were very pleasant, knowledgeable, gracious and efficient. So hats off to people working in potentially stressful situations, who are prepared to retain their sense of humor and show kindness while being efficient.

The management at the hospital should be congratulated on a style that leaves the front line people able to function this well, while providing a great service.

A hidden jewel – I hope you never discover it

Conservative supporters just ‘stirring the pot’ There has been some discussion in Hope recently about whether or not the Federal NDP has the right to put up Seonaigh MacPherson election signs. I am the sign Chairman for the Seonaigh MacPherson campaign.

There apparently was one phone call from a well-known Conservative to town hall questioning the legality of these NDP signs.

I called and spoke to the bylaw enforcement officer for the town and was assured that it is perfectly legal.

He stated that the existing bylaw was intended to control the proliferation of signs during municipal campaigns.

healthy for the most reasonable costs at this time. I further believe that we should petition The District of Hope to open negotiations with 753 Water, to purchase the system and amalgamate it with their own, bringing our water rates in line with the rest of the District.

An advocate of one cup of coffee and a good pot of herbal tea a day, Tony is bright and alive as he instructs his captivated class at the Fraser Canyon Hospital — a class the innovative facilitator discovered there was a niche for here in Hope.

“There was no Weight Watchers group in Hope and I was driving to Chilliwack in the winter and I wouldn’t get home until 7:30 p.m. and thought, why not bring it here?”

Meetings started over a year a go and since then, Tony’s group has seen over 25 participants.

“It’s about giving back to the community,” he said. “There’s a lot of exciting things happening within the organization, and we will approaching weight loss in a holistic way.”

It’s about setting realistic goals and keeping a positive mind set, according to Tony, who lectures weekly on topics like “a slip doesn’t have to be a slide” in terms of temporarily falling off the weight loss band wagon.

Weight watchers has a point system and a weight loss science that is based on height, gender and age. The point system varies from person to person, but it helps people target the amount and types of food they should be eating to lose and maintain weight loss.

Tony Pavick started with Weight Watchers over 20 years ago in Kamloops, after finding out he was borderline diabetic. That was the moment – the impetus for change – that pushed him out of a self/life imposed inertia and into a momentum that helped him turn his life around.

“I struggled with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD,) knee pain and back pain,” the kiltwearing Pittsburg native who now resides in Hope, told The Standard of his initial desire to make a change.

Emotional eating was a big issue for Tony, who now leads the local Weight Watchers group out of the Fraser Canyon Hospital every Wednesday evening at 5:30 p.m.

“Emotional eating is a big factor for many people,” he said.

The structure and accountability provided at the Weight Watcher’s meetings was important for Tony. It helped him navigate new eating habits and lifestyle choices as he battled his worst critic — the internal one.

“I went back to my doctor for a follow-up

something that is sustainable and realistic,” he said. “But the good thing is — you can still pretty much eat everything you want.”

The group is about supporting one another and acknowledging bad days, or addressing the emotional aspect of eating.

“It’s about channeling that emotion, and letting it go — you can visualize it, like it’s on a conveyor belt and watch it go,” he said.

The meetings create a sense of community in a safe environment that allows people to relate to each other, and yes, even have a good time doing it.

“We do different activities and we’re laughing, joking, and having a good time — in the end we become friends and nobody judges,” he said.

Tony’s life has changed dramatically since he began his weight loss adventure, and the colon cancer survivor has no regrets.

“My life has changed a lot, I’m much more outgoing and a happier person, and my wife loves it,” he said. “All you can do is take it step by step, every loss is a victory — you can gain, but if you keep going, you can do it.”

Tony has gone from 275 pounds to 160 pounds during his weight loss journey and has led others to do so.

Daniel Dubrueil, a current member of the class has lost 33 pounds over the course of 19 weeks and feels great.

“It has really helped with my mobility,” he told The Standard.

Animal House offers unique service

By Erin Knutson The Standard

Animal House offers some of the finest pet products in Hope.

The pet store opened in the beginning of July and houses an exceptional selection of pet supplies, accessories, and first rate industry knowledge.

Arie Johnston started out in the pet business by accident over 30 years ago and opened his own shop in Chilliwack shortly thereafter, carefully fine tuning his skills as a proprietor and distributor, while specializing in reptiles and aquatics.

“When I first started out we had the best reptile and aquatic in-store selection,” he said. “We’re not just a retailer — we provide a knowledgeable service.”

The jovial and kind hearted owner has a Cairn Terrier named Rat and considers himself a hobbyist as well, with six aquariums at home and a love of Bearded Dragons, or Beardies for dragon enthusiasts.

“They’re just cool,” he told the Hope Standard.

Animal House caters to most cold-blooded creatures, offering an extensive selection of reptile fare including miel worms and crickets, complete with all the trappings, whether it be finding the perfect enclosure for said reptile, or offering advise on the

proper care and maintenance of the crawly but lovable inhabitants.

“I’m not a veterinarian,” Johnston cautions on the advise he gives, so as not to blur the lines on the boundaries and responsibilities inherent in a vet’s role that don’t crossover to his role at Animal House.

The shop also offers some neat options, like tag engraving for the countless furry counterparts of Hope. Tagging, tattooing and keeping pets on leash is the best

strategy for ensuring that beloved pets don’t end up on the streets according to Johnston who helps people and animals find the best fit together.

“It’s nice to match up the right animal with the right owner,” he said.

Animal House is located near the intersection of Wallace Street and third avenue by Kamyon.

Community Ladies Golf Tournament celebrates 40th birthday

By Ernestine Franson Contributor

Hope’s own Gabriella Kim took the top Overall Low Gross prize at the fortieth annual two-day Hope Ladies’ Golf Tournament this past weekend, giving Kim her 7th overall victory for this tournament. Bob Hasell presented Kim the Emil Anderson Trophy for her low gross score of 171.

Lois McConville secured second Low Gross in the third flight with a score of 152, making her and Kim the only two local players to capture wins.

McConville’s putting skills also bagged her first prize in the putting contest held on Friday evening.

The Finning Canada Trophy for Overall Low Net went to Carol Genn of Hazelmere Golf Club for her score of 138.

Sixty-nine golfers enjoyed two days of fine golf weather in spite of the heavy wildfire

smoke pall in the area.

Course superintendent Kenny Buchynski and assistant Mike Carriere had the tee boxes and greens in top condition. Players approached challenging drought conditions on

the fairways with good humour.

Tee boxes were decorated with beautiful potted flowers supplied by local Ladies’ Club members.

Cheryl Wiesner of Greenacres Golf

Course, winner of the Low Net trophy in 1979, was honored for her continued annual participation in the tournament, while local golfer Pauline Svensrud was honored for her first-time entry.

After a practice round on Friday, players enjoyed a full day of golf on Saturday followed by an outstanding turkey banquet prepared by chef Kerry Krahn and his staff.

Ron Ulrich provided lively after-dinner entertainment.

Tournament Chair Keren Hasell thanked the many committee members, volunteers, sponsors and staff for an excellent job in making the tournament a real success.

BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD

Tom Rogers of Grizzly Ballers keeps his eye on the ball during the 22nd annual Peters Family Memorial Two-Pitch Tournament. The event attracted 12 teams to Sixth Avenue Park over the weekend, with the Weekend Warriors capturing top prize money of $1200.

Ball tournament fosters fun and memories Peters Family Memorial tournament draws 12 teams for two days of competition

The Hope Standard

What began with the death of a young family member has grown into an annual event for native communities and their friends from the upper Fraser Valley and the canyon.

The Peters Family Memorial Two-Pitch ball tournament attracted 12 teams this year for two days of fun and fond memories. Games started on Friday evening at Sixth Avenue Park and culminated with a lively championship match on Sunday afternoon.

“We started having the tourney after the loss of our nephew, Derwin Peters,” said co-organizer Thelma Florence, Monday. “We add names when we have a loss in family. Our first tourney was in 1993.”

Sadly, Thelma lost her husband Glen last month and his absence was palpable.

“He always helped us organize

and help with the concession.

Twenty-one years of helping,” said Thelma. Now, it’s down to Thelma, her daughters Monica Florence and Rhonda Bobb and sister-inlaw Carol Peters to help run the event.

Twelve teams paid $275 each to take part — but much of that was given back in prize money and helped cover other expenses.

“Chawathil First Nation helps with a donation every year,” added Thelma. “Our family also sponsors all trophies and all-stars. We do not make any money from the memorial.”

Strong teams and individual athletes get their honours — but so do the whiners… all in good fun, though.

“The Cry Baby award went to Melvin Andrew of the Hot Dogs and Tacos team,” said Thelma, “and the Drama Queen went to Charity Charlie. They have a good laugh about it.”

The Most Sportsmanlike Team trophy went to the Sharon’s Roses squad, a first-time entry at the tournament. Dogwood Valley resident Vanessa James organized the team in honour of her mom.

“My mom passed away three years ago,” said James on Monday. “I had hoped to put a team in last year for the tournament but it didn’t work out, so I was determined to do so this year. I tossed around a few different team names, but needed input from my sons Marcus and Dyllan for my final decision.

“Sharon Rose Hope was her name, which is how we came up with the team name. Her maiden name was Peters, so we’ve always attended the tournament — but this is the first time I’ve put a team in specifically for her.”

Vanessa and her husband Jesse hadn’t put a team together since 2007, but even then, it was mostly Jesse’s responsibility, she said.

“This time he left it all up to me.

I got to the field and had to put together a batting line up and had all these players looking at me asking where they should be playing in the field, I told them that I just put some names together, I’m not much of a ball coach.

“Rosalee Floyd and Calvin Belair were awarded the all-stars for our team, and Jesse was named the Most Inspirational Player. My Aunty Carol chose him out of twelve teams of players; it was quite an honor,” said James.

The first-time coach has at least one thing figured out from her weekend: “I think the most sportsmanlike team is the team that comes in twelfth,” she speculated.

“But it didn’t matter to me, I had a lot of fun out there with the friends and family I played with — and honored my mom at the same time.

“Thelma, Monica, Rhonda and Carol all did a fabulous job of organizing the tournament under diffi-

cult circumstances this year, as we lost Thelma’s husband in the beginning of July.

The Herd of Bears squad won the consolation award, 29-18 over Hit-and-Run. Hot Dogs and Tacos took fourth place and the Punisherz edged out Meles 37-34, relegating Meles to third place. The Punisherz’ Alex Joseph batted in 48 runs over the weekend and teammate Annabelle Williams batted in 23.

In the championship match, the Weekend Warriors pounded the Punisherz, 33-22.

Thelma said at presentation there was a moment of silence, followed by a song.

Her daughter Monica added, “After the presentation of the trophies, the three teams showed a lot of respect for our family. All of them gave their trophies to my mom, in honour of my dad, who just passed away.”

In 1974, she retired from teaching and became a cook and homemaker in Hope, BC; St. Stephen, NB and at Villa Madonna Retreat House in Rothesay, NB. In 1980 she became a full-time parish worker in Hope, BC until she retired to St. Vincent’s Convent in Saint John in 1994.
