Tragedy struck the District of Hope last year when Jorin Clay Dann-Mills, aged 8, was hit by a commercial truck on Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2015. A memorial of toys, gift s and fl owers was erected near the site of the accident on sixth Av-enue, accompanied by an outpour-ing of support from the community.

A candle lit vigil was held on the night of his passing.

Ongoing prayers by friends, fam-ily and the community continue for the loss of Jorin Clay, as donations to Vancouver's Children's Hospital continue to be made on his behalf.

Parts of the memorial are still visible, but the memory of the be-

loved boy has not faded with the passing of the months and the ad-vent of a new year. With the winter months coming to an end, and spring on the horizon, a new chapter has be-gun for the family of Jorin Clay.

Th e Hope Standard received an in-vitation to attend a special occasion to commemorate the boy on Monday, Mar. 7. Th e Ronald McDonald House in Vancouver, dedicated a room in their house to honour Jorin Clay.

Room number 312 (Th e Great Bear Rain Forest Room) was dedicat-ed to Jorin Clay, with an inscription that reads “Great Bear Rain Forest, adopted by McDonald's restaurants of Hope, remembering Jorin Clay Dann-Mills.”

A tour and presentation of the

House was made to family, friends, and members of the community of Hope to remember the boy, and to show the dedication to his family for the fi rst time. In attendance for the tour was Jorin's dad, Dann Mills and Natalie Lewis, as well as Jorin's little sister Rosie.

Th e Ronald McDonald House pro-vides housing for seriously ill children and their families, when they have no choice but to travel to Vancouver for treatment. Th e House was warm and inviting, as the group was shown around the 73 bedroom House, which is located on the grounds of BC Children's Hospital. Th is was fol-lowed by a delicious dinner served in their impressive group kitchen.

Little sister Rosie got to partake in

some of the fun, with the vast ameni-ties for children on site.

Th e House in Vancouver recently opened in 2014, and has served over 2,500 families with their spacious suites. Th e immediate family was moved by the gesture, as they shared the touching moment with guests.

"Th e Dann and Mills family ex-press their sincere gratitude to Ste-phen Au-Yeung of Hope McDonalds for the donation to the Ronald Mc-Donald House in memory of Jorin Clay Dann-Mills. Th e family would also like to thank Dr. Derman, Fraser Canyon Hospital staff , Ambulance Paramedics, Constable Lewis, Martin Brothers Funeral Home and many others for the care and support pro-vided during this diffi cult time."

NewsNew arrival sets the stage for

Brigade Days, 2016Erin Knutson Hope Standard

Th e Brigade Days Committee has some exciting news for the District of Hope. Th e annual event has been a staple in the communi-ty, ever since its advent in 1967, when a service station owner deemed that locals should com-memorate the end of a successful summer sea-son with a celebratory weekend event.

Held traditionally on the weekend aft er La-bour Day, Brigade Days has been a memorable event that boasts a pa-rade, demolition derby, live music, Boondock Bike Jam, Hope Hustle, ball hockey, and two-pitch tournaments.

Th e year of 2016, is looking bright with the arrival of a new prospect that promises to make an impression in Sep-tember. In the past cou-ple of weeks, the Com-mittee has received the news that West Coast Amusements Ltd (a car-nival ride company) has

agreed to come on board for this year's line-up of electric events.

“We've been toying around trying to get West Coast Amuse-ments and they haven't come to Brigade Days for about 12 to 13 years now,” Brigade Days Committee President Dusty Smith told Th e Hope Standard. “Th ere was some issue back

in the day, and they haven't been back since, so we've been trying to pursue them.”

Brigade Days has been doing well over the past couple of years, and the numbers are there according to Smith.

“We had one of their representatives come to one of our meetings, and he took part in it, and then it sort of went to the wayside, so we thought about off ering them some money as an incentive. We came up with a number and they were happy, so we start-

ed a one year contract,” said Smith.

A couple of new fea-tures for Sunday's motor sport line-up of 2016, include, Endurocross (a mini version of mo-tocross,) and an ap-pearance by the Hope Motors Sports Group, alongside the standard Demolition Derby and 4 X 4 races. “It's going to be a packed full day,” said Smith.

For more information and updates on Brigade Days, check out their Facebook page or visit www.brigadedays.com.

The prized Demolition Derby is one of the main attractions at the annual Brigade DaysCelebration in Hope on the weekend after Labour Day.

A former ministerial assistant to Transporta-tion Minister Todd Stone has been charged with two off ences under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act for his role in a com-plaint about deleted gov-ernment emails.

A special prosecutor approved two charges against George Gretes for "willfully making false statements to mislead, or attempt to mislead" the Information and Privacy Commissioner.

Commissioner Eliza-beth Denham referred the case to police aft er Gretes testifi ed in her in-vestigation that he didn't delete a series of emails from a subordinate's computer during a search in response to a freedom of information request.

Gretes resigned in October 2015 when Denham released her report on the 2014 inci-dent, which found that Gretes had used another employee's computer to "triple delete" a series of

emails. Stone has main-tained that the deleted emails were not the offi -cial records dealing with community meetings about improving travel options along Highway 16 in northern B.C., which was the subject of the request. Th e ministry has since released hun-dreds of pages of records about the project.

Th e incident prompt-ed Premier Christy Clark to order all political staff in the government to keep all emails as the procedure for handling electronic communica-tions is updated.

Former privacy commissioner David Loukidelis reviewed the case and recommended that non-partisan public servants should decide what records should be kept and what can be destroyed as duplicate or transitory messages.

Loukidelis warned that with hundreds of millions of emails sent and received each year, trying to evaluate every message would cause the B.C. government to "grind to a halt."

If you have ever visited some Asian

countries, you may nd you have to

squat to use the bathroom facilities.

It’s an uncomfortable way to have

a bowel movement but ironically

it provides a clearer exit pathway

and the muscles are more relaxed.

There is a special device on the

market that raises your feet as you

sit on a normal toilet. It’s supposed

to be the same as squatting.

Marijuana is often painted as a

safe drug. However, in teenagers

it can be quite detrimental because

their brains are still in development

and the synapses are still making

connections strengthened by the

experiences they take part in. The

“un nished” brain makes teens

more susceptible to wanting to

carry on with the drug…more so

than in an adult who starts the drug

later in life.

New Zealand and the U.S. are the

only two countries in the world that

allow drug companies to advertise

directly to the consumer. Billions

of dollars are spent on this form of

promotion and there is a move to

curtailing this type of advertising

and direct some of this money into

reducing the cost of medications.

In the U.S. there has been a huge

crackdown on health products that

contain hidden ingredients not on

the label. These products often

claim to help “sexual enhancement”

and weight loss. Health Canada

in our country is always on the

lookout for these types of products

and will ban the sale if found. Many

of these products can be found on-

line. Remember: if it’ too good to

be true, it is.

If you are concerned about a

product, talk to us. We will look

into it for you.

A bridge of understandingErin KnutsonHope Standard

The first thing one notices about Bonnie Mill-ward’s eyes is the kindness to them. She extends her hand to a stranger, someone from the out-side, someone she’s never met, with the intent to share powerful insight about her passion and life’s work with children.

There is a certain vulnerability about disclos-ing these things to anyone, but she does so grace-fully. The Hope Standard takes a moment to look about her spacious office at HSS, which acts as a buffer to many children, from the immediacy of their lives.

Bonnie holds two positions with the Hope & Area Transition Society (HATS,) and essentially they are the same role with two different titles. At HSS, Bonnie is an aboriginal mentor. Her role is a partnership between School District 78, Ab-original Education Council (AEC,) and HATS.

“I provide social and emotional support for the First Nations students at HSS,” she said.

In Boston Bar, she works as a community pre-vention worker with students from Kindergarten to Grade 12, in partnership with HATS and The Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD.)

This relationship extends to families as well, and can include siblings of students.

She works closely with aboriginal children aged five to 18 on a daily basis, helping them to navigate the challenges of growing up in rural B.C.

“The main thing is the one to one support I can provide for students — it’s strictly confiden-tial, as long as they are old enough to consent on their own, they can come and see me and talk about whatever is going on for them,” she said.

The air is charged with sadness as Bonnie mentions the recent suicide of a student in Bos-ton Bar.

“Any time there is a suicide, it impacts the en-tire community and Boston Bar is very small. A suicide impacts the community on so many lev-els and for such a long time — it’s the loss of a bright star, of a young person,” Bonnie told The Hope Standard. “It has a ripple effect and it stays with the other youth for a really long time. Part of my job is to make sure that it’s not just an end-ing, but that there’s another chapter and there’s something to be learned from it.”

Bonnie is a First Nations member and can offer

students a familiar and comforting perspective, as she deals with incidents of tragedy or concern by opening her door to them, as she did for the community of Boston Bar when it was in need.

Often working with ‘at risk’ youth, Bonnie, listed some of the criteria for a student to dem-onstrate warning signs, or red flags.

“We look at a young person’s life and we start looking at risk factors, things like homelessness, poverty, health, access to resources, access to healthcare and mental health. These are consid-ered risk factors.”

It’s normal for a person that’s demonstrating one or two of these factors according to Bonnie, but when a youth presents five or six of these traits, she sees it as a warning.

“When someone is showing these red flags, I try to build a relationship with them, that’s the first thing,” she said. “You start that way and then you can say, well you got suspended, do you want to tell me your side of things?”

Bonnie’s programs work in a harm reduction type process that allows a sense of trust to be built up between the two, so she can effectively help when incidents do arise.

“It’s all a process, it’s not all happening in one hour, it’s a journey.”

Empowerment is a good first step, and Bonnie often asks her students to keep a journal for self reflection, or she will recommend books they can work through together. It all depends upon the student and what their strengths and weak-nesses are.

Bonnie has even had students write a letter in the middle of the night (provided they are up and can’t sleep,) and then show it to her so that she can respond in kind.

Identifying emotions is one of the key compo-nents she aims to instill in her students as well as implementing a model known as the ‘Circle of Courage,’ which utilizes four quadrants.

The model is based on the research of Dr. Mar-tin Brokenleg (co-founder of the 'Circle of Cour-age.') The four quadrants utilized in the circle are mastery, generosity, belonging and indepen-dence.

“We created a whole program called the ‘Cul-ture of Courage’ based on the 'Circle of Courage,' and we use it on our report cards and we use it in our everyday programming,” said Bonnie.

Bonnie Millward in her office at HSS. Millward is an aboriginal mentor at the high school, and a community prevention worker in Boston Bar. She helps students gain the tools and knowledge for successful living.

2013CCNABLUE

RIBBON

Published by Black Press Ltd. at 540 Wallace St., Hope, B.C. every Thursday.

Raeside corner

As the B.C. government spends millions on an interna-tional brand campaign with the recycled slogan “Super, Natural B.C.,” another brand identity has spread across Canada.

Th is one’s unintentional. It hit a new peak last week with the arrival of two young men from Saskatchewan, who were given one-way tickets to Vancouver and Victoria by typically burdened social services ministry staff in North Battleford.

Sorting through the blizzard of soothing sound bites and sympa-thetic TV clips, a clearer picture emerges.

In his initial interview with the

Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, Charles Neil-Curly, at 23 the elder of the two, said he decided to head west when shelter staff told him his time had run out and he asked for bus tickets to B.C.

“When they asked if I had a place to go, I just said, ‘yeah’,” Neil-Curly said. “I was going to the next homeless shelter anyway.”

Transients and panhandlers aren’t the only ones who say what-ever they fi gure will get them through another day. Politicians do it too.

Admitting she knew little about the arrivals, Premier Christy Clark suggested that both were mentally ill and deserve every support the province can give them.

B.C. housing czar Rich Cole-man has also demonstrated fac-tual flexibility as he presides over the creation of his latest single-room-occupancy drug ghetto in a residential neighbourhood in

Victoria.Aft er quietly proposing a closed-

down nursing home called Mount Edwards Court as a temporary solution to the fi lthy “tent city” that sprang up on provincial prop-erty last fall, Coleman abruptly an-nounced from his Langley offi ce Feb. 5 that the building had been bought and partly renovated for $4 million. It would house 38 people for up to a year.

I asked him if the purchase meant the conversion of Mount Edwards into permanent “low-barrier” housing for 100 people was a “done deal,” as area residents believe. “Th ey’re wrong,” Cole-man indignantly replied, and there would be community consultation over the next year.

In subsequent comments to reporters, he said the province doesn’t really need city zoning, but will apply for it anyway. (Th at won’t be a problem with Victoria’s

far-left city council, which is keen to add a supervised injection site too.)

On Feb. 24, Coleman was asked if he is concerned that the 88 hous-ing units at two locations would fi ll up and other transients would arrive to take their place. By that time the tent squat appeared to have about 100 people in resi-dence, with the usual overdoses, violence and prostitution.

Coleman assured us it hasn’t happened in Abbotsford or Maple Ridge, where tent camps have fi -nally been cleaned up aft er shelters and housing were provided.

Th e next day, he was asked if transitional accommodations would be suffi cient to end the camp.

“Th ey’re not actually all that transitional,” Coleman replied. “We’ll take Mount Edwards through a zoning process. We’ve got about 100 beds there. We’ve

bought the building so it’s hardly transitional. We’ve permanently done that.”

Fast forward to March 11. Th e 38 Mount Edwards spaces are full, another 40 rooms and camping spaces at a former youth custody centre are almost full, and the province applies for a court order to clear the Victoria camp.

A representative of the advo-cacy group Together Against Pov-erty Society goes on local radio to pledge legal support for the camp-ers. How many are there now? At least 100, he says.

Meanwhile in Maple Ridge, where the “homeless” problem is all fi xed, Coleman has just extend-ed temporary shelter funding and paid $5.5 million for a 61-room motel to fi x it some more.

Th is is the time of year when the days get longer and the sun is higher that gardeners start to get excited. You say you are not a gardener? All of man-kind has custody of the envi-ronmental garden.

It is a big responsibility in-deed, but we can start with our surrounding area. Carry a bag when out walking or hiking and pick up garbage. A clean land-scape appeals to most everyone.

Garbage in the waterways is hard to retrieve, but an at-tempt should be made. Dump-ing green waste and grass clip-pings in the bush makes for an unpleasant sight and odour and should be reported, especially if the “dumper” is known.

Th rowing spent hanging baskets in the bush has re-sulted in English ivy and la-mium to run wild. Where they go, nothing grows! When ivy plants climb trees they com-pete for water, nutrients and sunlight causing a weaker tree, therefore more prone to dis-ease and branch dieback.

Th e added moisture around the bark as the vine grows up the tree may accelerate rot. If ivy is seen getting started on areas where it is not wanted, pull the vine up and dig all the root.

Lamium, also known as yel-low archangel, aluminum plant, golden dead nettle is a trailing,

evergreen, perennial ground-cover with square stems and is a very invasive noxious weed.

In Britain if a single stalk is found on a property or a neigh-bour’s, the property value drops and makes it nearly impossible to sell, mortgage or insure.

What can we do when we find it?

Report it to a by-law or con-servation offi cer, a district of-fi ce and the Invasive Species Council of B.C. Th e Ministry of Transportation Department has many sites in the Lower Mainland that will be treated in the near future, but it is a 3-5 year attack.

What can we do as private property owners to protect our environment?

Remove weeds by digging or spot treating with vinegar.

Th e product “weed and feed” for the lawn is no longer acceptable or safe especially for the waterways.

Find a natural product on-line to make at home or pur-chase to destroy or repel un-wanted garden pests.

Buy a composter to compost kitchen and garden waste to add to garden soil.

Th ese are only a few ways we can be better citizens in our beautiful country

Mark Strahl, MP for Chilliwack-Hope is encouraging local groups to make application for funding under the Recreational Fisheries Conservation Partnership Program (RFCPP.)

Over the next three years the RF-CPP will provide $28 million across the country to support habitat res-toration projects led by recreational fishing and angling groups; con-servation organizations; and Indig-enous groups.

“The program has been wildly successful in encouraging the com-pletion of habitat restoration proj-ects across the country including significant investments in our own local waterways,” said Strahl.

As part of the National Conser-vation Plan, the RFCPP was cre-ated in 2013 by the Conservative Government to restore Canada’s

recreational fisheries habitat and support the sustainability and on-going productivity of recreational fisheries.

An example of a past local proj-ect includes: partnering with Ducks Unlimited to provide up to $144,000 to rebuild the Cheam Lake Water Control to restore ac-cess to Cheam Lake and upstream habitat for spawning coho and cut-throat trout.

Applications for funding for this latest round of the program are being accepted by Fisheries and Oceans from March 11 to April 22, 2016. For additional program infor-mation, as well as the application form and guidelines, please visit: Recreational Fisheries Conserva-tion Partnerships Program Web Site.

CommunityStation House volunteers needed

Kelly PearceSpecial to The Standard

Th e good people at AdvantageHOPE are asking for volunteers who can help with on-going renovations to Hope’s 100-year-old railway station (known locally as the “Station House,”) which is pres-ently being converted into a fantastic new Visitor Centre and Mu-seum Complex.

Th e Station House Project has been on the District's radar since 2013. Progressive steps have been taken toward the completion of the Station House as the District's Tourism Cen-tre and Museum. Con-struction continues to re-develop the property for its potential opening in May.

As part of a cost ef-fective model, volun-teers with varying levels of expertise, are being

conscripted to help with construction costs.

Th ere’s a lot of ways to help on site. Volun-teers are invited to drop in any weekday over the next two weeks, where they will be asked to

sign a waiver and as-signed a task. Th ere’s hammering to do, dry-wall to hang, insulation to install, and many other tasks that will help AdvantageHOPE meet goals and stay

on budget. So, come prepared with work clothes, gloves, and feel free to bring some of your own tools. Th is is an exciting new project for Hope, please pitch in if you can!

The Station House Project, headed by AdvantageHOPE, is looking at a potential completion date in May. The ongoing project is utilizing the skills of volunteers to remain cost effective.


A new grant helps school districts connect students with their future

Local students will get some help exploring their options for high-tech and trades train-ing thanks to $25,000 from the Province of B.C. to launch the Shoulder Tappers program in Fraser Cascade School District.

The Shoulder Tappers pro-gram enlists career co-ordina-tors or recruitment specialists who work closely with students to help them connect closely with trades and technical train-ing – as well as gain valuable on-the-job experience.

“B.C. needs more skilled workers and through programs like this, we are able to connect students with employers and access training programs that may interest them,” Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness said.

Coordinators help men-tor elementary and secondary school students and facilitate student access to technical, ac-ademic, and vocational courses in industries as diverse as air-craft engineering, heavy-duty mechanics, information tech-nology, and early childhood education.

The coordinators also work closely with employers, the In-dustry Training Authority and the CES Career Education So-ciety to connect students with opportunities.

In December, the Province announced a similar program for 15 districts in northern B.C. in partnership with Northern Development Initiative Trust. Funding support from North-ern Development allowed the

Ministry of Education to ex-tend the program to more dis-tricts this year.

The Province launched B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint in April 2014 to re-engineer edu-cation and training so British Columbians are first in line for careers of tomorrow.

The Shoulder Tappers ini-tiative helps government meet this goal.

Over the next three years, a new K-12 curriculum is be-ing slowly phased in with new standards in mathematics, sci-ences, and applied design, skills and technology.

It supports opportunities for students to develop the prob-lem-solving and creative think-ing skills they need for success in B.C`s tech sector.

Mark Strahl, MPSpecial to The Standard

One year ago last month, the Supreme Court of Canada’s land-mark Carter decision declared existing laws against assisted suicide unconstitutional. While the Court’s decision legal-izes assisted suicide, Par-liament has been given a role to play in legislating limits, conditions and safeguards on the practise of assisted suicide, within terms set by the Court.

When I bring up the issue of assisted suicide with my constituents, many are unaware that the law is changing and are alarmed that such a major change to Cana-dian society could have advanced so far without a comprehensive national conversation on the issue.

People are oft en sur-prised to learn that the Court did not reserve assisted suicide for those who are suff ering from a terminal illness, but have instead opened the door to allowing individu-als with a “grievous and irremediable medical condition” experiencing “intolerable suff ering” to access it. Th is has been described as the most permissive and least re-strictive criteria for assist-ed suicide in the world.

Th e Council of Canadi-ans with Disabilities and the Canadian Association of Community Living has produced an excel-lent commentary on the Court’s decision, warn-ing that persons with dis-abilities, including people with serious mental and emotional disabilities, have been put at serious risk. Th ey have also pro-vided sobering statistics. “In Belgium, the num-ber of Assisted Suicide deaths has increased an average of 47.77 per cent annually since 2003, and in the Netherlands it has increased 64.13 per cent since 1995, with no end in sight to this increase.” Th ey have called on Par-liament to “place crucial safeguards on the Court’s judgement to limit access to assisted suicide.” Un-fortunately, a recently re-leased Joint Parliamenta-ry Committee Report on assisted suicide has gone the other way, suggesting that doctor-assisted sui-cide should even be made available to minor chil-dren and those struggling with mental illnesses. As a result, Conservative members on the commit-tee have fi led a dissenting report recommending stronger protections for the vulnerable.

While I have heard from hundreds of my constituents who oppose assisted suicide, I know that there are others who support the concept in principle and in certain

circumstances. Hav-ing watched a number of family members and friends ranging in age from 13 to 85 die from cancer over the last few years, I understand the

desire to ease the suf-fering of those we love, as much as possible. I believe that instead of embracing euthana-sia as the only solution, the federal government

should be doing more, in concert with the prov-inces, to promote and expand comprehensive palliative care services right across the country. We also need to continue

the national conversa-tion about improving our mental health system of care, which is currently failing too many Canadi-ans. Rona Ambrose has promised Conservative

MPs a free vote on the government’s legislation and I hope that all party leaders will follow suit. Th is issue is a matter of conscience for me and for many Canadians.

Euthanasia legislation must protect the most vulnerable in society

Th e meaning of

Good Friday

Good Friday is a Christian holiday that is celebrated every year on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday. Good Friday commemorates the crucifi xion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary, the location outside of Jerusalem’s walls where the crucifi xion took place.

Though Good Friday is considered a holiday and is a legal holiday in many countries across the globe, the commemoration is not characterized by the festive atmosphere many holidays inspire. In fact, in the fourth century, the Apostolic Constitutions described Good Friday as a day of mourning and prayer. In addition, many Christians fast on Good Friday, eating only one full meal and two smaller meals that do not add up to a full meal.

Christians believe that commemorating the death of Christ helps to remind them of the sacrifi ces that Christ made and the human sin that contributed to his death.

The observance of Good Friday has existed for centuries. According to Catholic Online, the Catholic Church does not celebrate Mass on Good Friday, though church services held on Good Friday correspond to the divisions of a traditional Mass. These services include the Liturgy of the Word, during which the Passion of Jesus Christ is read; the intercessory prayers for all people, including non-Christians; the Veneration of the Cross, during which the crucifi x is unveiled to the congregation; and the Holy Communion. During these services, the church organ and bells are silent.

Good Friday is one of the holiest days of the year for Christians across the globe. This year Good Friday is celebrated on March 25.

Join the churches of Hope for the annual Good Friday Cross Walk. Meet at the Band Stand at 5 p.m. and walk through the "Stations of the Cross" together, retracing the steps of Jesus on the fi rst Good Friday. This event is sponsored by the Hope Ministerial, a collective of leaders of the churches of Hope.

For more information contact Rev. Andrew Tarrant at 604-749-7707.

Now more than ever, this project makes sense

for Canada and British Columbia. It’s vital we

receive the most from our natural resources

at a time when our economy needs it most.

The Trans Mountain Expansion Project will allow

Canadian oil to be delivered to international

markets and, as a result, Canada will earn

approximately $3.7 billion more a year for our oil.

By realizing full value, everyone will benefit.

In addition, the expansion will create tens

of thousands of jobs over the next 25 years.

“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.”

FinanceNot all insurance policies are created equal: It pays to explore

Spring Break planning is in full swing in homes across B.C. as many families look to take advan-tage of the break by escaping to destination hot spots.

Travel insurance probably ap-pears somewhere on your to-do list.

“Not all insurance policies pro-vide the same level of coverage so it’s important to shop around and be sure you’re comparing apples to apples,” says Envision Insurance Manager Elaine Elson. According to Elson, there are fi ve key areas to

focus on to ensure you’re purchas-ing adequate coverage for your up-coming trip:

Explore pre-existing condition exclusions

“It’s important to know how a pre-existing condition is defi ned and whether or not it’s excluded from the policy you’re purchasing,” says Elson. “Many people don’t re-alize that any medical condition you currently have, or have had, needs to be declared to your insur-ance broker to ensure you have the

appropriate coverage.”Find out how claims are paid

“If there’s a claim is the insur-ance company going to be billed directly or are you expected to pay the expenses out of pocket and be reimbursed?” asks Elson. “Being reimbursed might sound OK in the interim but will you have access to the funds you’ll need in the case of an emergency?”

Know what you’re covered forIn addition to confi rming the

monetary amount you’re covered

for and the deductible amount, if applicable, it’s essential to under-stand what the coverage is for items such as dental coverage, emergency transportation and professional fees, continues Elson. Th ese specifi c areas are oft en overlooked when comparing a variety of policies.

Research plan types ahead“Paying attention to the variety of

plan types available to you is an im-portant factor, especially if you have more than one vacation planned,” says Elson. “If you’re planning mul-

tiple trips, you may be able to pur-chase a multi-trip policy to provide coverage for all trips planned for not much more than the cost of a single trip policy.”

Ask about policy exclusions“Each policy is unique and so are

the exclusions listed,” says Elson, “Do you plan on participating in any excursions or a high risk activ-ity such as bungee jumping or scuba diving? If so, you’ll want to be sure these activities are covered under the policy you’re purchasing.”

Hope Mountain Centre launched a new “Beaver Tales” program for Grade 2 students, thanks to funding provided by School District 78 Fraser-Cascade. Following a classroom presentation, students toured real beaver habitat right in Hope’s backyard. The new beaver lodge at Sucker’s Creek provided a perfect exhibit of beaver construction power, and Thacker Marsh featured a beaver dam and numerous chewed trees.

CommunityChanging young lives one at a timeThere are certain

challenges and cul-tural differences that First Nations students experience at school, and Bonnie tries to ease some of those burdens by educating teachers and peers on culture and tradition.

Racism is still a fac-tor for First Nations.

First Nations people are living with resi-dential school legacies, and research from the Truth and Reconcili-ation Commission of Canada (TRC) has shown that it may take six to seven genera-tions before grievanc-es are fully healed.

In the meantime, Bonnie offers advice, workshop style com-munication for class-rooms, relationship building and conflict resolution.

She helps students with applications for transcripts, college/university applica-tions, and Band fund-ing for education to name a few.

There are currently about 100 aboriginal students enrolled at HSS.

“For the most part First Nations students are treated quite well by their peers, even staff will come to me and say, I don’t really understand what this person is saying and I

can try to be a bridge of understanding.”

Since the advent of the program six years ago, drop out rates have decreased. When Bonnie started out in 2000, graduation rates were around 30 per cent, and now they’re up to 60 per cent.

“Truancies are way down and there is participation in the classroom. My First

Nations students are participating in more extra curricular ac-tivities, whereas before they were grossly un-derrepresented on the sports teams.”

Bonnie’s dedica-tion to her students has seen many grads through the trying times of adolescence, while dealing with complicated issues such as relationships,

drugs and alcohol, poverty, homelessness, racism, and discrimi-nation. “It’s so intense-ly rewarding — it’s very taxing some day’s of course, but being able to be a cheerlead-er for a young person and being able to see them walk across the stage when they grad-uate is very gratifying.”

Students in Boston Bar participate at a drum circle. The community prevention program helps ‘at risk’ youth in the community.

News

Th e idea of a First Nations Court in Sto:lo ter-ritory may be an idea whose time has come.

"We have been looking at this for a very long time," said Grand Chief Doug Kelly, president of Sto:lo Tribal Council, and chair of the First Nations Health Council.

Th e Sto:lo family court structure would be best presided over by a longstanding commu-nity leader, a provincial judge with Sto:lo roots.

"Th e pitch for this particular idea was to bring Steven Point home," Grand Chief Kelly remem-bered this week. "What we meant is that to us, Steven is more than a judge, and more than a lawyer, he is a medicine person. He is a long-standing and respected leader, both culturally and spiritually. He is much more than a judge."

Th e idea to select Point for a Sto:lo court was actually the brainchild of Grand Chief Clarence

Pennier, who put the idea out there while he was head of the STC, at least 10 or 11 years ago. Some provincial cabinet ministers who heard and supported the idea at the time included John Les and Wally Oppal, Kelly remembered.

"It's nothing new," Kelly said.But there have been very recent discussions

about it. Th e idea made headlines as several First Nations across B.C. have been pondering how to move forward with their own aborigi-nal court systems. Th ere are four such First Na-tions Courts in B.C. at this point handling bail hearings and sentencing hearings, in North Vancouver, New Westminster, Kamloops and Duncan. Th ey use and refer to "Gladue rights" which are special rights extended to aboriginals under the Criminal Code.

Th e proceedings in First Nations courts are

open to those who identify as aboriginal. Th ey employ an indigenous understanding of com-munity and healing, as well as a restorative jus-tice approach to sentencing.

"It's a long time coming," said Tyrone Mc-Neil, vice president of STC. "We have kids being apprehended from parents for relatively minor reasons, and this has a tremendous impact both on the children and parents."

Th e emphasis has to be on rebuilding re-lationships and family units, and creating harmony. Who better to implement Gladue rights than a "qualifi ed First Nations judge?" McNeil said.

"We have been hearing concerns from our members and leaders, that some of our mem-bers were appearing in child welfare court, and standing in front of the judge all alone."

McNeil called that inappropriate, and under First Nations family court they could be rep-resented in court by community advocates or band offi cials. "Th is would balance the playing fi eld." Th e time is right to talk about Sto:lo fam-ily court, said Kelly.

Th ere have been "nothing but problems" with the current system, he said.

"Th ere are long delays, and it doesn't matter if it's an MCFD case or one from our delegat-ed authority. Th e current system is not work-ing for us." Th ey've long sought the chance to fl esh out this idea. Th e First Nations Health Council that Kelly leads, has signed an MOU with the B.C. government "to work together on social determinants of health," he noted. Certain cultural considerations would have to be taken into account.

Time has come for a First Nations Court in Sto-lo territory

SportsMustangs off to an early start in the season

Barry StewartHope Standard

Hope Secondary’s Mustang girls have made an early start in their soccer training, getting ready for what should be a remarkable season.

In late February, play-ers travelled to 100 Mile House for a one-day in-door tournament against Williams Lake and 100 Mile teams. HSS players were split into two teams for games of 5-on-5.

Coach Jeremy Smith said the girls struggled to score, though they also made it hard for their opponents to get past them.

“Indoor soccer is usually high-scoring but aft er 50-minute games, we were only losing by scores of 5-1 or 4-2,” he said.

Last week, they trav-eled to Chilliwack twice, for exhibition games against Sardis and Chill-iwack Senior Secondary.

Tuesday against Sar-dis, Smith said he was pleased with the eff ort in the girls’ 4-0 loss.

“We played well, working better as a team and learning to be more patient with the ball.

“Against Chilliwack Senior, we got splat-tered,” he said. “It was into double digits, I’m sure — but Amanda Lancaster scored on a free kick.”

Th e bigger school plays in a higher league than Hope but Smith said Sardis will be fi eld-ing a B team that will play exhibition games against the single-A schools in Hope Sec-ondary’s league.

“We’ll have four home games and four away, starting in early April,” said Smith.

Th e big news is what’s happening on April 8 and 9, when the girls will be hosting their inaugu-ral tournament.

Ten teams will be tak-ing part, coming from as far away as Pemberton

and Enderby.Th is will be Hope’s

fi rst soccer tournament since the men’s Fletcher Challenge Canadians hosted one in the early 1990s. As many as three games will be running at the same time, so the C.E. Barry fi eld will be used and two pitches will be set up sideways on the HSS fi eld.

In other soccer news, the Valley Helicopters-sponsored Valley Chop-pers closed out their ninth season in the Chilliwack Men’s Soccer League with a spirited

game against the league-leading Young Guns, the perennial favourite to win the regular season and playoff title.

HSS coach Smith played for the Young Guns a number of years ago but has been on the Choppers since 2012.

Th e Young Guns had a glorious record of 18 wins, two ties and a loss in 21 games, with nine shutouts and only 14 goals against. Th at con-trasted with the Chop-pers’ two wins and three ties and a single shutout.

Th e thing is, the

Choppers had their worst games early in the season. Since the end of November, they only had a 2-0 and 4-0 loss. All the rest were wins, ties or one-goal losses.

Could they keep it tight on Saturday night, against the Young Guns?

Playing on their fa-vourite fi eld, the artifi -cial turf at Chilliwack Senior Secondary, the Choppers started with intensity.

League manager Jus-tin Depodesta watched the game from the side-lines and said later, “You

guys had a very good game. In the fi rst 25 minutes, you dominated possession. I was very impressed with the ball movement.”

With keeper Kyle Kjemhus thwarting the early Young Guns chal-lenges, captain Zane MacDonald gave the Choppers a 1-0 lead at about the 20-minute mark. Th eir opponents made it 1-1 soon aft er, though the Choppers had a handful of chances on a strong attack short-ly before the break and were unlucky not to take

the lead.Th e Guns took advan-

tage of two lapses in the early stages of the sec-ond half, making it 3-1 — but the Choppers got their tenacity back and Yvon McKay blasted a cross-goal shot to make it 3-2 in the late stages.

If the game ended in a tie, it would go directly to a shoot-out, which could go either way.

Th e Choppers threw themselves into the fi nal minutes to get the tying goal but couldn’t quite pull it off .

On paper, it should

have been the most lopsided game of the sudden-death playoff s. In fact, it was the most tightly-contested of all four games in the open-ing round.

The Choppers will be retaining a core of players for next season but will be looking for new recruits over the summer.

Yours truly will be stepping down as play-er-manager to focus more on reffing and the less-frantic pace of senior ball.

Hope’s Kaylee Ward and a Sardis player chase down a ball in an exhibition game on Tuesday last week. The Mustangs played well but lost 4-0, said coach Jeremy Smith.
