The stands were packed for the Battle of the Badges, Saturday night, as the Hope firefighters fended off the RCMP, all for a great cause.

Skating for the RCMP were Aaron Hoggan, a former Hope resident, former UBC Thunderbird, and now an officer with the RCMP. Also playing for the cops was his brother Mark Hoggan. The hockey duo, whose brother Jeff plays professionally for Grizzly Adams Wolfsburg in Germany, turned the heat up on the

firemen who were determined to defend their 2010 title.

And the battle for the Tyler Wells Memorial Trophy remained close with the cops squeezing in a 9-8 win in the final period.

The championship trophy is named after a young man who passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. His grandmother, Roberta Well, was asked to drop the puck for Johnston and RCMP constable, Francois Lewis, kicking off charity game.

“It was good to see the game close,” said Hope firefighter and former

RCMP officer George Johnston. “It was the kinda game I wanted to see.”

With the firefighters coming off the ice just seconds into the game, dishing out comments to the bench about the cops speeding a little too fast down the ice this year, the game headed into high action early in the first period.

“It’s not about winning or losing,” added Johnston, who also presented a Canucks jersey, signed by all the firefighters, cops, and game officials, to young Mason Dixon, as representative of the

Canadian Cancer Society.Aaron Saito, on behalf of the

Richmond Fire Department Society, donated $500 to the fundraising efforts and the Silver Creek firefighter, Ian Williams donated $200.

In total the Battle of the Badges raised just over $3470 to go towards sponsoring Constable Les Betker, who is riding in the Cops for Cancer marathon bike ride for the third year in a row. All funds raised by the Cops for Cancer rider go toward researching childhood cancers and Camp Goodtimes.

NewsHarry Lali drops out of NDP leadership raceBy Tom FletcherBlack Press

VICTORIA – Fraser-Nicola MLA Harry Lali has dropped out of the contest to lead the B.C. NDP, saying he can’t raise enough money to be competitive.

Lali didn’t repeat his earlier protest against the financial rules set by the party, which included a $15,000 entry fee and a requirement to split all leadership funds raised 50-50 with the provincial party.

When the rules were announced, Lali blasted the party for putting the costs of the leadership out of reach of ordinary people, and even compared the NDP to the Republican Party in the U.S., where

millions are spent to campaign.

Announcing his decision to drop out last Thursday at the legislature, Lali said his heart is in the contest,

but reviewing his budget he came to the conclusion it’s not his time.

“In order to run a competitive NDP leadership campaign,

one needs to spend well over $100,000, which means one has to raise at least $215,000,” Lali said. “That isn’t going to happen for me.”

Lali’s departure leaves his fellow MLAs Mike Farnworth, John Horgan, Adrian Dix and Nicholas Simons in the race, along with North Vancouver marijuana activist Dana Larsen.

Horgan announced Thursday he has gained the endorsement of Cowichan Valley MLA Bill Routley, joining fellow MLAs Scott Fraser, Kathy Corrigan and Maurine Karagianis.

Party members will vote in April for a new leader to replace Carole James, who was pushed out in a caucus revolt that included Lali.

Remains identified as missing manBy Robert Freeman Black Press

Criminal links, if any, to a Chilliwack man whose skeletal remains were found last week near Ruby Creek are being investigated by police, who suspect

Last week, human remains were found in a wooded area off the Garnett Creek Forest Service Road.

Paus was identified through dental records.

“It’s a sad day all around for the Paus family, but now they

can put their son to rest, and we can move forward with an investigation,” Carr said.

If the Chilliwack high school grad was the victim of foul play, he added, “we’ll get to the bottom of who’s responsible.”

foul play.“This is standard

practice,” RCMP Cpl. David Carr, spokesman for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, said Friday.

Deano Paus, 40, was known to police, Carr said, so IHIT investigators will also be looking into his background and “who he associated with and what their involvement in crime, if any, was.”

Black Press could not reach the family Friday for comment.

But according to other media reports, Paus was a friendly, outgoing man well-known in Chilliwack’s softball community.

Black Press reported his disappearance in March last year, and the discovery of his grey, 2007 Ford Fusion two days later down an embankment of the Florence Lake Forestry Road near Stave Lake.

Police looking for info on robbery suspectsPolice are asking for public help

finding two women and a man who robbed the Chilliwack Husky gas station on Yale Road last Thursday night.

A lone female clerk described all three suspects as being native.

Police say the two female suspects and the male entered the gas station at about 10:20 p.m. and demanded money.

The male is described as about 30 years old, about 5’9” tall with a heavy build and dark hair. He was wearing a dark jacket, jeans and a dark baseball cap at the time of the

robbery.One female is described as being

in her 30s about 5’8” tall, also with a heavy build and dark hair. She was wearing a dark-coloured shirt and jeans.

The second female is described as being in her late-20s, about 5’6” to 5’8” tall, with a slim build. She was wearing a dark-coloured top and jeans.

Anyone with information that can help identify the suspects is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

OUR PHARMACISTS DISPENSE INFORMATION AS WELL AS MEDICATION

There has been much in the news lately about the bene ts of taking a baby A.S.A. daily. It

can prevent heart attacks and strokes and most recently may even reduce the risk of colon cancer. However, even though the drug is available without a prescription, it is always best to see your doctor before starting it. A.S.A. does have side effects and drug interactions even at that low dose. Check rst. There is no evidence that drinking “alkaline” or “ionized” water has any health bene ts. Due to the extremely acid nature (low pH) of the stomach environment, alkaline water is immediately made acidic. Save your money.

The battle against polio is close to being won. The number of children getting polio has reduced 99% since 1988 due to the oral polio vaccine. With the help of the Rotary Clubs, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Health Organization, that last 1% should be achieved in a couple of years.High blood pressure guidelines in Canada say that a blood pressure of over 140/90 in people of any age should be treated with lifestyle changes and medication. For diabetics or those with kidney disease, that blood pressure is 130/80. It’s good to check your own blood pressure regularly. There are many easy-to-use home kits available at

a reasonable cost. Our pharmacists are aware of the damage high blood pressure can do to the body. Talk to them about monitoring your blood pressure at home.At Hope Pharmasave we have a reliable self serve blood pressure unit in-store.

Spring is almost here, and our Hawthorn on the west side of the building is already displaying new life. This is a good time to brush up on your close-up photo skills. Most cameras have a macro preset on the scene selection dial. In most cases, setting it to that position will take care of the problems. Take a couple of test shots. The beauty of digital is that you can always delete them immediately if they are not to your liking. If your camera does not have a macro mode you will probably still be able to get within about a foot and a half of your subject. If you are using a DSLR and don’t have a macro lens, shoot wide angle. If you have a 10mm or 14mm lens you can get very close to the subject. Watch for some really great photo finishing deals next week during our 25th Anniversary Celebration!

Ranger the cat has companyChilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner, wife Daris LaPointe, and their new addition Fintry Katherine Penner.

SUBMITTED

By Jennifer Feinberg Black Press

Barry Penner’s cat, Ranger, is going to have to get used to playing second fiddle in the house.

The Chilliwack-Hope MLA and his wife, Daris LaPointe, welcomed their new bundle of joy, Fintry Katherine Penner, into the world on Sunday, Feb. 20 at 11:21 a.m. at Chilliwack General.

“I’ve got another job now,” Penner tells Black Press, “Along with titles like Aboriginal Relations Minister, Attorney General, MLA, and husband, we now add father.”

Mother and daughter are doing well, the local MLA reported Sunday, and he dutifully counted all of his new daughter’s fingers and toes.

Their newborn’s name, Fintry, is a nod to a provincial park in the Okanagan that Penner visited while he was environment minister.

“It’s a beautiful and unique property.”

The middle name, Katherine, is in honour of Penner’s grandmother.

Penner said his wife went into labour on Friday and it was “quite serious” by Saturday evening.

“I was surprised when they sent us home again that night. We barely got home and things were not good, so we headed back to the hospital,” he said.

Fintry finally arrived on Sunday morning, weighing in at 7 pounds, six ounces.

Penner’s little family posed for their first photo op while still tucked in bed at the hospital.

“So I sent a photo by BlackBerry to (MLA) John Les, and he messages me back to ask what room we’re in.”

It turns out Les was only two doors down, celebrating the birth of his new grandchild that very afternoon.

“So we bumped into each other in the hallway at the hospital,” Penner added, to offer congratulations.

On the cat’s humorous Facebook page, ‘Draft Ranger the Cat for Leader,’ Penner writes: “Even though she is terribly cute, Ranger may have a hard time adjusting to no longer being the top priority in his household now that Fintry Katherine Penner has arrived.

“Clearly, Ranger will have his work cut out for him in convincing the parents, Barry and Daris, to give him the attention he deserves as a potential leader.”

Legal cloud over Cache Creek landfill expansionBy Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C.’s high court has ruled an Interior aboriginal group may not have been properly consulted in the environmental assessment of a proposed major expansion of the Cache Creek landfill.

The B.C. Court of Appeal did not immediately quash the environmental certificate issued last year, but ruled B.C.’s environmental approval process was defective and left the door open for the Nlaka’pamux Nation Tribal Council (NNTC) to file a new legal challenge to overturn the approval.

At stake is whether or not the Cache Creek landfill will be permitted to take garbage from Metro Vancouver for another two decades or more.

The 40-hectare expansion is proposed by the Village of Cache Creek and landfill operator Belkorp Environmental Services, even though Metro’s board has vowed since 2008 to stop dumping in the Interior and deal with the region’s waste closer to home.

Metro wants to pursue waste-to-energy options, which could see it build a new incinerator to burn garbage that can’t be

recycled.Some opponents

who fear worsening air quality in the Fraser Valley hope Victoria rejects the idea – the province must still make a decision on Metro’s draft solid waste plan – and direct the region to keep trucking waste to Cache Creek.

The appeal court ruled the Environmental Assessment Office should have formally consulted the NNTC, which has opposed the dump expansion on grounds it may leach toxins and contaminate groundwater and local wildlife.

“Denying the NNTC a role within the assessment process is denying it access to an important part of the high-level planning process,” the court found.

Successive court rulings have found governments have a duty to consult First Nations whose aboriginal rights may be infringed when a major project is proposed on land they claim.

The province’s environmental review did consult numerous local bands, some belonging to the broader Nlaka’pamux First Nation and others to the Secwepemc First Nation, neither of which has a governing body speaking for the whole group.

Some of the bands back the expansion and the jobs the landfill provides, while others, particularly the ones allied with the NNTC, oppose it.

Both the Nlaka’pamux and Secwepemc claim the land the landfill extension sits on.

The competing claims and animosity between aboriginal groups made it a “daunting” job to craft a meaningful yet efficient consultation process, the court found.

“Difficult as it might have been to fulfill,” the judgment said, “the Crown’s duty to act honourably towards First Nations makes consultation a constitutional imperative.”

Cache Creek Mayor John Ranta said the next step depends on whether the NNTC now moves to overturn the environmental certificate.

“If they’re successful,

that may put the project

in some jeopardy,” he

said.“If they’re successful,

that may put the project in some jeopardy,” he said.

A previously approved short-term expansion of the landfill allows Metro to continue using Cache Creek until about the end of 2015.

Metro waste m a n a g e m e n t committee chair Greg Moore said the ruling does not appear to affect the region’s direction, as Metro intends to have new waste-handling facilities in place within the next few years.

“We don’t plan on using Cache Creek past our current contract date,” he said.

Just minutes after the lineup was cleared, a second crash triggered another closure of Highway 1 at Hope.

SIMONE ROLPH PHOTO

Crashes close highwaySimone RolphThe Hope Standard

A 50-year-old Calgary trucker was killed in a crash on the south side of Emory Creek Bridge between Hope and Yale, Monday evening, Feb. 21.

A southbound lumber truck, driven by a 30-year-old Abbotsford man, had just cleared the bridge, when the driver lost control in a curve, crossed over the centre line, and collided head-on with a northbound transport truck loaded in hamburger.

The driver of the second truck was a 55-year-old Surrey man. Both drivers were taken

to Fraser Canyon hospital with serious injuries. The passenger, a relief driver in the second transport truck, was killed in the crash.

A third transport truck driver, also hauling lumber, was unable to avoid the two wrecks strewn across both lanes of the highway and plowed into the trailer of the second truck.

Road conditions at the time of the crash were slippery due to the heavy snowfall.

Highway 1 was closed overnight, and was expected reopened to single lane alternating traffic at 9 a.m., Tuesday, Feb. 22.

Within minutes of the

highway being opened at the bottom of Lake of the Woods Hill at Hope, and the line-up of transport trucks cleared, the highway had to be closed for a second time.

Just four kilometres north of the closure gate on American Creek Hill, a transport truck collided with a snowplow. Two other trucks and several private vehicles were also involved in the chain-reaction crash. No serious injuries were reported.

Police are asking anyone who witnessed the collision of crash at the Emory Creek Bridge to call lead investigator, Cst. Steve Small, of Fraser Valley Traffic Services, at 604-702-4039.

Missing young mother surfaces on FacebookBy Simone RolphThe Hope Standard

A young mother from Surrey, who dropped her daughter off with friends last week, and never returned to pick the child up, updated her Facebook status, last Thursday, Feb 17.

23-yer-old Nikita Jack reportedly

disappeared Thursday, Feb. 10. Her friends, family and police put out a call for anyone who saw the young woman to call Surrey police.

Reportedly the former Boston Bar resident was not missing but stuck in Revelstoke B.C. A week later she posted a photo of herself with her boyfriend and a copy of

a newspaper article asking for the public’s help in locating her.

She apologized to her family and friends who had been frantically trying to contact on the social networking site since her disappearance.

Surrey police have confirmed that she has been located safe. No other information was provided.

The decision was made only for the 2011/12 school year, she added.

Newsroom - 604-869-1225

Campbell’s legacy uncertain VICTORIA – Gordon Campbell

was in a buoyant mood as he left the legislative chamber after his final question period as premier.

“Free at last, free at last,” he said, quoting a traditional song made famous by U.S. civil rights leader Martin Luther King. The shackles of high office officially remain around his ankles for another week or so, but with a stand-pat budget awaiting the next premier’s priorities, his 27-year career as an elected politician is effectively over.

Campbell’s place in B.C. history is secure on several fronts, including s c h e d u l e d elections, reduced business and personal tax rates and a more mature relationship with Ottawa.

There are at least two important areas where his achievements remain in doubt: aboriginal relations and climate change.

In interviews last week, Campbell said his greatest regret was the demise of the Recognition and Reconciliation Act. That law would have recognized a form of aboriginal rights and title across the province, essentially a huge out-of-court settlement for the 90 per cent of B.C. that remains without treaty settlements.

It all collapsed pretty quickly, partly because it was seen as a backroom deal that was to be pushed through before the 2009 election. The mining and forest

industries were alarmed, the legislation was held back, aboriginal leaders took it to hearings, and chiefs around the province rejected it as a watered-down version of the rights they believed they could win in court.

It is remarkable that Campbell went from “professional Indian fighter,” as he was characterized by some after his 2002 referendum on treaty settlements, to the architect of the “New Relationship,” arguably a too-generous bid to untie B.C.’s biggest political knot.

The Tsawwassen and Maa-Nulth treaties are important, but they were hashed out the old-fashioned way, with years and lawyers and consultants and sacks of taxpayers’ money. Two northern B.C. Liberal MLAs voted against them; the split remains.

On aboriginal relations, Campbell started deep in his own end and carried the ball at best to midfield.

On climate change, one could say he scored at least a field goal. When I sat down with him last week, he mentioned a recent conference in California he attended with George Schultz, the economist and business executive who rose to be secretary of state for Ronald Reagan.

With plans for a carbon trading system in disarray in the U.S., Campbell said Schultz pointed to B.C.’s revenue neutral carbon tax and said that is exactly what other jurisdictions should be doing to reduce greenhouse gases.

By 2012, the B.C. carbon tax will account for just under seven cents on a litre of gasoline, on top of other fuel taxes B.C. and

Ottawa continue to collect. It will

set a “carbon price” of $30 a tonne

across all fossil fuels.

Campbell is convinced the carbon

tax will survive, if not grow. He

says leadership candidates should

look at continuing the increases

that are mandated until 2012, and

continuing to offset them with

personal and business income tax

reductions.

One leadership candidate is

already touting the benefits of the

carbon tax, and surprisingly, he’s

not a B.C. Liberal. The NDP’s John

Horgan now admits he was wrong

to oppose the tax, but he wants it

extended to the non-fuel emissions

of heavy industries.

Horgan has also cautiously

embraced Campbell’s other main

climate effort, run-of-river hydro

and wind power, although he wants

public ownership through a new BC

Hydro division.

Campbell’s climate agenda will

have to reach beyond today’s

mainly symbolic effort and spread

to other jurisdictions if it is going to

change the course of B.C. history.

Simone RolphThe Hope Standard

It’s interesting how things change. It seems like in the city the gentle ways of the small town are flourishing while the nurturing ways in small town Hope B.C. are on their way out.

Vancouver should be commended for adopting a new collection system for parking fines. The new dispute system is wisely crafted with a convenient and speedy dispute system. The new policy also adds a half price incentive, if you pay up quick that is…. On the other hand, if you dispute a ticket – and lose – you not only pay the full price, but also cover the $25 cost for the dispute process. Be good and be rewarded, fight without cause and it’ll cost you.

Vancouver believes the early-pay discount incentive will mean more tickets are paid – and with stacks of tickets and outstanding fines totaling around $7 million dollars, a little wisdom was needed. Throw us a bone and we’ll go fetch.

I am not quite so enamored with the District of Hope’s recent form of collection, when dog owners, some whose dogs had not been licensed for years, were slammed with official blue $115 tickets in the mail. The enclosed letter demanded that the owner not only pay up for Puffy’s license for 2011 but for 2010 as well…. Of course, it was a bluff, and once the owner paid for a 2011 license, the district staffers ripped up the ticket.

Yes, it worked, but this form of enforcement is detrimental in the end. Firstly, residents learn not to license a new dog at all – if they want to stay forever out of the District’s bad books. Secondly, they learn that the district plays games. Thirdly, this practice simply builds resentment in good people, who have in the past bought licenses, while unlicensed dog owners go unchecked….

Why if licenses were due last January is the District so far behind that it does its collections 11 months later. Trying to sell an expired license to a dog owner is rather futile. If business owners left a small bill go uncollected for almost a year they would take the loss and have a good talk with their bookkeeper. Collecting would be fruitless, would anger their customers, would be embarrassing – and a knock to the company’s credibility.

The District reportedly has $15,000 in outstanding dog licenses to collect…. For all the cost of collections (a contractor was hired to phone delinquent dog owners), for all the many Rovers and Fidos that have long since moved or passed away, why not just throw the taxpayer a bone and return the early purchase discount that was grabbed away a few years back? And if you really want to sell dog licenses shout from your rooftop the no punishment, ‘we are there for you’, policy of city dogcatchers…. Buy a license and they bring your dog home for free…. Just got that small town feeling back!

Throw us a bone!

Show your support for the phasing out of pesticides

Editor: The StandardThis week marks one year

since the BC government called upon the public to provide input into restricting chemical cosmetic pesticides. Over 8,000 emails, online comments, and petition signatures were submitted as a result of the consultation and the vast majority of responses were in favour of banning the use and sale of cosmetic pesticides.

To mark this anniversary, the Canadian Cancer Society BC & Yukon created a special web-link at www.cancergameplan.ca where members of the public

can provide their input by email, by contacting the BC Liberal and NDP leadership candidates, or by joining the Pesticide Free BC Facebook group.

Cosmetic or non-essential pesticides are used to improve the appearance of lawns, gardens, and various recreational facilities such as parks (they are non-agricultural and non-essential). Research has linked pesticide exposure with an increased risk of both childhood and adult cancers. These include childhood and adult leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, prostate, brain

and lung cancers. Studies show that children may be at a higher risk due to their rapidly developing bodies.

According to a recent poll commissioned by the Canadian Cancer Society, the majority of British Columbians support a phase-out of cosmetic pesticides on private and public properties (over 70 per cent). The poll also revealed that support for a phase-out between Liberal and NDP voters is about equal, that there is no difference in support between rural or urban residents, and that most BC residents are willing to try alternatives.

The BC Government needs to hear from all British Columbians that now is the time to put our health and the environment first and eliminate this unnecessary risk once and for all by passing strong, comprehensive legislation as soon as possible.

A looming disaster in Washington State against which all others pale By Mark RushtonBlack Press

As the world agonizes over climate change and the progenitors of environmental apocalypse berate us all for creating a world that cannot survive, somehow the disaster that is located just a few miles south of the B.C. border is overlooked, ignored or is out-of-sight, out-of-mind.

That disaster, the remains of the nuclear age that made Hanford Atomic Works, or as it is now known – Hanford nuclear reservation – was the centre of the western world for development of atomic bombs. Those that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki were developed there, as were most of the warheads that currently lie dormant in silos across America, housed in stealth submarines and cruise missiles.

The disaster of Hanford is not so much the danger and devastation that its products could, did

and can create, but the waste that was created as a by-product of the nuclear age.

As a result, in the starkly beautiful desert lands of southeastern Washington State, there is a volume of waste that boggles the mind, that is almost impossible to make safe, and is and has been for years working its way through the ground into the Columbia River.

Eventually, unless it is somehow contained, it will also get into the atmosphere. Paramount among the concerns to render the stuff relatively harmless is that in the process there is the potential for explosions that could, in effect, mimic the results of a bomb with all the attendant radiation and nuclear fall-out.

The problem with Hanford is that its cleanup is monstrously huge, and perhaps impossible to achieve. There are massive amounts of nuclear waste stored in leaking underground vaults, in ‘ponds’ and bunkers. In

addition, no one is even aware of what some of the chemical mixes really contain, and therefore the challenge on how to remediate the ‘stew’ is largely unknown.

The potential cost of the clean-up ... in excess of 15 billion dollars,

according to some,

more than 12 billion by the

optimists.

The potential cost of the clean-up ... in excess of 15 billion dollars, according to some, more than 12 billion by the optimists. And in a best-case scenario, it won’t be completed until 2047, more than a century after the first waste tanks were

buried, tanks that weren’t estimated to last more than a few years.

Back in the late ’60s and ’70s, I often travelled through southern Washington, along the Columbia River and, passing the Hanford reservation, would shudder at the thought of what was going on there … at what must have been going through the minds of folks who worked there building weapons that were destined, in the name of ‘freedom,’ to potentially annihilate the world.

Fortunately, common sense prevailed, and with nuclear de-escalation, Hanford was finally closed in 1987. Its latent ability to cause mass death and destruction remains, however, in its vast repository of waste. While the brains that created the stuff knew how to build bombs, few bothered to think of processes to remediate their by-products, and fewer still knew enough, or cared enough, to build storage facilities

that would last a millennium.

In fact, what is there probably has created a toxic mix that will never be rendered harmless. What may make matters worse, is that there may not be enough money available to do it, either.

Regardless, the effort must be made, and hopefully the financial decision-makers are not bent on taking the lowest bidder.

In the meantime the potential for disaster festers on, threatening not just eastern Washington but, with prevailing winds, everywhere else within a thousand (thousands?) kilometres.

I’m not sure there is much any of us can do about this, other than to be aware of it, and to recognize that carbon emissions and global warming might be the least of our worries in the future.

Defining community through artLocal artists of all levels

will have a chance to enter their work into a local art show.

“We have incredible talent in this community - established artists and closet artists that are too intimidated to show their art in a public domain.

“This event is designed to celebrate and draw all levels of artists to show off their work. In particular, we are hoping to offer an added incentive to young artists to bring their art forward,” said Darla Dickinson, event administrator for the Trails Crossing Friendship Centre.

Trails Crossing is organizing a series of three events designed to celebrate rural diversity through art and food. The Art Show is the last of the three events.

“There is a key to enter though – the art has to reflect how you, the artist, view your community in the Fraser Cascade area,”

said Dickinson. “The idea is to create a greater understanding of how this view relates to your culture, background and faith.”

“Each artist is asked to write a one paragraph explanation of how their work ties into their community. The main criteria that the judges will

be looking at is how the piece is a reflection of the community,” says Dickinson. The guest judges include local councilman Ron Smith, the president of the Hope and District Arts Council Rod Fowler and well known artist Francis Horne Sr.

“We do have three

categories – beginner, intermediate and advanced with honorariums available for all levels,” adds Dickinson. “Currently we have over a dozen artists registered and more coming in every day.”

“We had a wonderful turn out of artists at the Artist forum on Saturday, Feb. 12, it was very rewarding to see the artists connect with one another and brainstorm ways that they can work together and learn about all the resources that do exist within the community,” said Dickinson.

The third event in the ‘Celebrating Rural Diversity,’ series will be held at Christ Church Anglican & National Historic Site, at the corner of Park and Fraser St, on Saturday, Feb. 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Judging will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Artists can register for the show by calling Darla Dickinson at 604-869-2279.

Crystal Kimber’s art is on display at the Hope Sleep Centre and the Backstage Pass Emporium. She was one of many local artists who participated in the first Rural Diversity event held Saturday, Feb. 12.

CommunityNewsroom - 604-869-1225 A quiet exploration

By Simone RolphThe Hope Standard

Women’s rights and animal rights are two causes that are near and dear to the heart of singer/songwriter Debbie Bergeron.

Anything that she can do to use her song-writing skills and raise her voice to bring awareness of violence against women or abuse of animals, she’s happy to do.

The first opportunity came when she was contacted by the SPCA to sing at a animal rights benefit event at the Roxy and asked for the use of one of her songs for a fundraising CD. Now the SPCA has come back once again to ask if Bergeron will perform for them at the Inlet Theatre, in Port Moody and, once again, donate a song to a second compilation CD.

But it is spousal assault and women’s rights that Debbie may be best known for her songs titled ‘Break the Chain.’ and ‘Shelter from a Storm.”

“It’s about women supporting women,” says Bergeron. “I am passionate about those songs.”

Now with International Woman’s Day fast approaching in March, Bergeron’s new song called ‘Please Don’t Forget Me,’ will be performed at both the March 8 International Woman’s Day event in Hope and at the March 18,

International Woman’s Day event in Abbotsford.

The Hope and Area Transition Society and the Ann Davis Transition Society are sponsoring the two events.

“I just recorded it yesterday, I am so proud of it.

“Do you realize that 4000 women and children go missing in Canada every year? I just couldn’t let that go.”

Hope residents will have chance to see Debbie perform locally at a concert set for Saturday, Feb. 26 at the Hope United Church Hall, starting at 7 p.m.

A little bit of a diversion from her regular country band style, the new show will be an exploration of Debbie’s musical roots. “It’s a journey to explore the artists and the songs, that I grew up with, and who motivated my writing and vocal styles.

“There my inspiration, my heroes,” like Merle Haggard and Loretta Lynn…. Now there was a real woman, talking about issues that people wanted hushed up back then. Her song ‘Pill’ would have been scandalous.”

Ian Tyson, Charlie Pride, Reba McEntire, Dolly Parton – the stars will shine bright during Bergeron’s acoustic concert, backed up by the talented guitarist, Jeff Bowman.

Tickets for the show are available at the Hope Visitor Info Centre.

Debbie Bergeron performs Saturday, Feb 26 at the Hope United Church Hall.

Know a woman who inspires you?Simone RolphThe Hope Standard

Do you know a woman who has been inspirational in your life, in the community?

The Hope and Area Transition Society (HATS) is looking to honour them at their

March 8, International Women’s Day event.

“It is about the celebration of women through the ages,” says Maureen Kehler, who is assisting Cheryl Lacey, of HATS, in organizing the event.

In the morning, the forty to fifty invitees will work as one to identify

what accomplishments women have achieved and to identify what issues women still face, said Kehler.

In the afternoon, the group will join together to honour women who have been nominated by the public, whether for being a positive influence on others,

their family or their community.

Any woman who has been a mentor to someone, or that has done something for the entire community, can be nominated, adds Kehler.

“Or maybe they have made big strides in their own lives? It’s

about honouring the effort.”

All of the nominees will be invited to the March 8th event, along with the person who nominated them for recognition.

Trips will be offered in March, targeting both beginner and advanced snowshoers.

SUBMITTED

Snowshoe trips set for MarchTwo snowshoe trips

are being offered by the Hope Mountain Centre, promising two fun days of winter exploration in the mountains.

“I love this time of the year, when the days are longer and the mountain snowpacks are at their deepest. Snowshoeing is a great cure for cabin fever -- it gets you out of the house and up into the mountains to celebrate the beauty of winter,” said program director, Kelly Pearce.

A family-friendly snowshoe trip, on Saturday, March 5, will explore the gentle terrain around Lightning

Lake in Manning Park. In celebration of the 100th anniversary of B.C. Parks, lunch and prizes will be shared. This is a free family event, with snowshoes and poles provided to the public at no charge. Professional guides will lead the trip, sharing some Manning Park history and pointing out important wildlife habitat during the day-long adventure.

A more advanced snowshoe trip, on Saturday, March 12, will depart from Highway 5 on the Coquihalla Summit and climb toward a peak called The Needle. The route

follows a magnificent ridge crest that climbs above the treeline, giving panoramic views of the North Cascades. Although the terrain is rugged, the planned route offers safety from avalanches. Professional guides will lead this trip, and gear can be rented from Hope Mountain Centre. Participants must be in reasonably good physical condition, as the route demands at least two hours of steep climbing before gaining the ridge.

Both snowshoe trips require registration at www.hopemountain.org

Bruins road trip ends with lossA tough three-games-

in-three-nights road trip ended in heart-breaking fashion Sunday night as the Chilliwack Bruins dropped a 4-3 shootout loss to the Seattle Thunderbirds at the ShoWare Centre in Seattle.

Ryan Howse had a pair of goals and goalie Lucas Gore made 67 saves in regulation and overtime. But it wasn’t enough to halt a losing skid that has now grown to four games. Sunday’s result leaves the good guys ninth in the conference with a record of 24-29-2-3, four points behind the Kamloops Blazers (26-31-3-1) with three games in hand.

The Bruins scored the only goal in an action-packed first period, with red-hot Howse pulling the trigger. With Seattle’s Mitch Elliott chugging back into the play after serving two minutes for charging, Howse finished off a beautiful feed from Dylen McKinlay, snapping his 43rd of the season past T-Birds netminder Calvin

Pickard.Howse has 11 goals

in his last eight games, leaving him two behind Spokane’s Tyler Johnson for the league lead.

Chilliwack had an excellent chance to double the lead when Seattle’s Burke Gallimore ( c r o s s - c h e c k i n g ) and Brendan Rouse (interference) took back-to-back minors. The Bruins had 56 seconds of five-on-three power play time, but couldn’t cash in. Pickard took a sure goal away from Howse, sliding cross-crease with the double pad-stack to rob the Prince George native.

Lucas Gore was outstanding at the other end, turning away 22 shots in the opening frame.

The T-Birds finally solved the Chilliwack stopper 4:57 into period two with a power play goal by Travis Toomey. With Roman Horak banished to the box for hooking, Toomey took a feed from Rouse and snapped a glove-side shot off the post and in for his 19th of the year.

The Bruins re-took the lead at 13:48 on a goal by Robin Soudek. He didn’t earn an assist on the play, but Chilliwack defenceman Jesse Zgraggen deserved one for a nice pinch at the left point. Soudek nabbed the puck, cut to the middle and netted his 18th of the season with a low hard shot that eluded Pickard. The lead grew to 3-1 at 18:01 on another goal by Howse. Linemate Kevin Sundher did some great work to set him up, dipsy-doodling around a couple T-Bird defenders before firing a backhand shot. Howse buried the rebound.

Sundher’s assist extended his point streak to seven games.

Eighteen seconds later a 10-player brawl broke out. The chaos resulted in 11 minors, two fighting majors, four 10-minute misconducts and the approval of 5,319 Seattle fans. Chilliwack’s Brandon Magee got the worst of it with two minutes for cross-checking, two minutes for instigating,

five minutes for fighting and the misconduct.

Unbeaten this season when leading after 40 minutes, the Bruins picked a bad time to cough up a third period lead. Elliott cut the deficit in half at 11:40 and Colin Jacobs got a power play marker with 1:48 remaining.

That was it for regulation and then overtime, leaving the teams to settle things in the shootout. Howse got the Bruins on the board first with Gallimore responding. Sundher missed for the first time this year (three for four), falling victim to a Pickard poke-check. Jacobs put the T-Birds up 2-1 and put all the pressure on Horak. The Czech hit the goal-post, giving Seattle the shootout win.

The Bruins are back in action Friday, visiting the Vancouver Giants. The G-men are in Chilliwack Saturday and the Prince George Cougars make their final trip to Prospera Centre Sunday night.

PRIME-TIME SUDS: Writer Rich-ard Castle will soon be on a case in-volving more soap operatic drama and plot twists than he can shake a pen at.

ABC recently announced that some of the biggest names in soap operas will be crashing the set of its prime-time crime drama “Castle” for an upcoming episode in March.

Cameron Mathison and Rebecca Budig (both of “All My Children”) and Corbin Bernsen (“The Young and the Restless”) will be joined by TV and film veteran Jane Seymour for the special episode, which is played out on the set of the fictional New York-based soap opera “Temp-tation Lane.”

There’s an interesting connection between the episode’s title, “One Life to Lose,” and the show’s star: Nathan Fillion, who plays the title character, used to be a soap actor as well. He portrayed Joey Buchanan on “One Life to Live” in the mid-’90s and then returned for a two-episode cameo appearance in 2007.

In the special episode, Castle and NYPD Det. Kate Beckett arrive on the scene of a murder, and the victim is “Temptation Lane’s” head writer, Sarah Cutler.

Behind-the-scenes dra-ma between Sar-ah’s husband, mother and two of the show’s stars leads Castle to believe that his skills as a writer will help them see through the scan-dals, unravel the mystery and find the killer.

In the episode, Mathison will play the victim’s hus-band, Vince Bowers, who is also the show’s director. Castle discovers he’s intimately linked to much of the back-stage drama. Sarah’s mother, Gloria Chambers (played by Seymour), is desper-ately trying to keep a secret from every-one there.

Bernsen and Budig will

play two of “Temptation Lane’s” lead actors, Lance Buchanan and Mandy Bronson, respectively. Lance, as it turns out, was once romantical-ly linked to Castle’s mother. Mandy, on the other hand, is a diva actress who uses her sexuality to get ahead.

THE VALUE OF ‘X’: The sum of

$5 million has a nice ring to it. And Fox is sure thousands will turn out to sing for it.

The network that brought us “American Idol” is getting set to launch the next big singing competi-tion series, “The X Factor,” and it’s motivating potential superstars with this whopping number. Auditions will start on Sunday, March 27, in Los Angeles. Hopefuls can also try out in Chicago, Dallas, Miami, New York and Seattle.

As the value of the recording con-tract the winner will receive, the amount has set records as “the larg-est guaranteed prize in television history,” according to Fox.

As many would suspect, “The X Factor” must have some pretty big players attached to it as its own x-factors in order to warrant such a huge prize. When it comes to the music industry and competition shows, these names don’t get much bigger.

The show is being led by none other than former “Idol”

judge Simon Cowell. His entertainment com-

pany, Syco, and its parent company, Sony Music, have partnered with FremantleMedia North America to

guarantee the lu-crative contract.

The winner will be in good compa-

ny under Cowell’s wing, seeing as he launched the careers of such artists as Il

Divo, Susan Boyle, Leona

Lewis and Shayne

Ward.

Hope Golf Club member Dennis Nam blasts his way out of the bunker on a pleasant winter day at the local course. The club’s annual meeting is Friday, Feb. 25 at 7:00 p.m. in the downstairs lounge.

Few winter break for Hope golfersBy Barry StewartThe Hope Standard

While the rest of Canada has had its fair share of winter weather, the ‘wet’ coast has largely been spared from the seasonal white stuff... meaning some local golfers haven’t had much rest since last fall.

The Hope Golf Club pro shop is closed but the course is open for all comers. Non-members are expected to work on the honour system and pay a $15 fee for the day, $20 on weekends.

“I’d say we’ve only lost a couple of weeks due to snow,” said long-time golfer and club treasurer, Larry Ortis. “There have been up to a dozen golfers that will come out at 1:00 p.m. every day on the weekdays — and the weekends pick up a bit. It’s all members, though, very few walk-ons.

“Even if it’s raining, they’ll still be out there.”

Snow and rain aside, frost can be

a concern, as waking on frozen grass can damage it, said Ortis.

“We don’t use the regular greens when there’s frost — and we’re using temporary tee boxes, to prevent wear and tear — but the frost is usually burned off by 10:00 or 11:00 in the morning.”

One of the regular golfers is Glenn Henry, who moved to Hope with his wife Barbara in 1995. They came as non-golfers and got converted. Glenn was the first to pick up the sport that has become more like a lifestyle for the couple.

“We were walking around town and thought ‘What a beautiful place,” said Glenn. “We came to see the golf course and Barbara said ‘You can’t walk the dog around here — so just go buy some clubs.”

And that was it.Now Glenn is part of the regulars,

who don’t rest their clubs when the weather turns a little wet or chilly.

“I just like to get out for the exercise,” said Glenn. “It’s only a

few that are dedicated all-weather golfers, though, probably only about one per cent.”

As well as the exercise component of golfing, Glenn emphasized the social aspect.

“When we moved to Hope, we didn’t know a soul. Directly after I joined the golf club, we got to know people.

“There’s a wonderful gentleman that I golf with and his wife died a few years ago. It helped him tremendously that he had all of his friends at the golf club. It was a great support to him.”

At roughly 35 per cent of the membership, the seniors are a major demographic in the local club — but the Korean community is close behind. Dennis Nam, of the Heritage Inn Motel, figures about 20 per cent of the local golf club members are of Korean descent. Ortis thinks it may be a bit more. Nam and a handful of local Korean businessmen have also been out on the course through the

winter, though not every day.“If the ground situation is good and

it’s not raining, we try to get out at least once a week,” said Nam, who has lived in Hope for five years and in Canada for 11.

“Golfing in Korea is more expensive than here,” he added. “There are lots of courses there. Korea is world-famous for golf — night-time golf too.”

The club’s annual meeting will be on Friday, February 25, at 7:00. Due to upstairs renovations, the meeting will be held downstairs.

“It will be a wine and cheese event and we’ll go over the financials,” said Ortis, who figured there are 100 to 120 members paying annual green fees.

“The fee structure will also be looked at,” said Ortis. “Last year, the adult annual green fee rate was $975. We’re in negotiations with some people to run the course next year as well.

“It will all be up to the meeting.”
