New Pathways to Gold Society has launched a campaign to preserve the historic Alexandra Bridge in the Fraser Canyon.

Th e aging structure is currently deemed safe, but requires some re-pairs to bring it up to current building standards. Deterioration of cement and caps on the bridge towers that hold the cables in place specifi cally need to be addressed. Th e Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure

has completed an assessment of the bridge and results are expected to be released by spring.

“We just want to see the bridge kept for its historical signifi cance,” said Terry Raymond, co-chair of New Pathways. “It is such an attraction. Th e loss would mean an important piece of history would be lost forever to the province. A lot of signifi cance of the park would be lost as well.”

Riley Forman, who runs the local tourism website travelthecanyon.com, is helping New Pathways raise aware-ness about the campaign and plans to

release a YouTube video series next spring.

“Before the planning stages take place with the Alexandra Bridge, we want to make as big of an impact as we can,” said Forman, who was behind the Save the Rambo Bridge movement in Hope. “To actually build history and culture, we have to stop destroying it. Th is is one of the very few and last pieces of our building blocks we have. Th e Alexandra Bridge is defi nitely a priceless asset.”

Alexandra Bridge was built in 1926 to replace the original wagon bridge

constructed by the Royal Engineers in1861. It has served as a Hudson’s BayCompany trading route and part ofthe Cariboo Road.

While New Pathways awaits the as-sessment results, the society plans tocontinue its work with Spuzzum FirstNation to upgrade Alexandra BridgeProvincial Park facilities. Improve-ments focus on the Highway 1 pulloutand include a revamped informationkiosk, new picnic tables and wheel-chair accessible washrooms. En-hanced interpretive signs throughoutthe park is also a project priority.

Occupy coming to HopeNeil CorbettBlack Press

Th e Occupy movement will be coming to Hope on Saturday.

Occupy the Fraser Valley, the local off shoot of the original Occupy Wall Street protest, has been active for about a month. So far, it has held public protests in Chilliwack and twice in Abbotsford.

Speaking from in front of Abbotsford’s Clearbrook Library during a protest last Saturday, Ann Cadsky said the protests have been relatively uneventful, with the occasional person shouting “Get a job!” at the group.

“We all have jobs too. We all have families,” she said of Occupy Fraser Valley – adding that’s why the group’s protests are limited to Saturday aft ernoons.

“I want a future for my children,” she said. “I don’t see how, with the way things are going, the earth will even have enough resources.”

Cadsky said she visited the high profi le Occupy Vancouver camp at the art gallery “a few times,” before its members were ordered by the courts to leave. She thinks it was a success, in that it got people in the region talking about Occupy.

“As far as making people aware of the issues of inequality and resources, yes they were a success,” she said. “You can take down the encampment, but you can’t stop the idea.

“It’s about reaching people, and getting people tostart thinking about the issues – questioning more,and thinking more.”

She agreed that “the issues” that Occupy standsfor have not been clearly identifi ed in the media, butshe said when you talk to members of the Occupymovement, they are clear. Occupy is workingfor democratic reform, economic reform andenvironmental protection.

“If you spend time talking to people who areinvolved, they know what they’re talking about,” saidCadsky. “Occupy Wall Street is bang on.”

Last Saturday they were protesting Bill C-10, theomnibus crime bill known as the Safe Streets andCommunities Act. Signs read “C-10 is cruel andunusual,” “For sale – Canada,” and “Say no to C-10crime bill.”

One of their principal reasons for opposing the billis that they say it is allows for more punitive sentencingfor pot growers than it does for people who commitsexual off ences against children. Th ey also alignedtheir stance along with the Canadian Bar Association,which published “10 Reasons to Oppose Bill C-10” inNovember.

In Hope, they will focus their protest onprivatization. Th e group will be in town from noon to3 p.m., at a public location to be determined.

Th e group organizes its activities through aFacebook page “Occupy Fraser Valley.”

Melatonin is a hormone which occurs naturally in the body. It is

available without a prescriptionand has been proven to help people reduce jet-lag when traveling through many time zones, especially west to east. It is best taken close to the normal bedtime of your destination. It’s available in many different strengths. Our pharmacists can advise you on this topic.Those who started playing a musical instrument early in life and are still playing, seem to have less of a problem with memory as they

age. This could also be applied to those who have sung in choirs for many years. Gaining too much weight during pregnancy is still a problem in Canada. For normal weight women, a gain of 11.5 kg to 16 kg is good. For overweight women the gain should be between 7 kg and 11 kg. For obese women, the gain should be no more than 7 kg. One kilogram (kg) equals 2.2 lb. Keeping medications out of the reach of children is a warning put on many medications. Depending on the medication,

even one dose can be very damaging to small children. It is best to keep ALL medications out of the reach.Safe storage and disposal of medications help ensure you and your family’s safety.

Fatal crash on Highway 7A 20-year-old Hope man has

died aft er being hit by a lumber transport truck on Highway 7.

Offi cers from the Lower Main-land District Fraser Valley Traf-fi c Services, Hope and Agassiz detachments were called to the scene near Ruby Creek at about 12:45 a.m. on Tuesday morning.

Th e 40-year-old driver from Quesnel was hauling two trailer loads westbound on Highway 7 when the 20-year-old man ran in front of his truck. He attempted to swerve, but struck the pedes-trian. Th e victim, whose name has not been released at this time, succumbed to his to inju-

ries at the scene. Fraser Valley Traffi c Services,

the Offi ce of the Provincial Cor-oner, and the Lower Mainland District Collision and Recon-struction Services are currently investigating the collision. Police said the preliminary investiga-tion reveals that weather and

road conditions do not appear to have been contributing factors.

Any witnesses who have not spoken to the police are asked to contact lead investigator Const. Roddie Cairns of the Lower Mainland District Fraser Valley Traffi c Services Offi ce at 604-702-4039.

Crystal Medlock was walking along Wallace Street during Moonlight Madness on Friday when she was shot with a BB gun.

She was hit in the left leg across from Canyon

Carpets at about 8 p.m., while on her way to check out Craft s Plus.

“I heard the air coming from the gun, heard the pop noise and then felt the pain,” said Medlock.

“Th ere were no cars driving by or people walking by at the time. Th e worst part for me is

that I didn’t get to see the businesses I wanted to visit.”

Th e shot pierced her skin, causing bleed-ing and bruising where it hit. Aft er providing a police statement and getting checked out by a paramedic, Medlock was dropped off at Memorial

Park in a RCMP cruiser for the last hayride of the evening with her kids.

“We have seen cases where people have lost an eye due to a BB gun pellet,” said Cst. Tracy Wolbeck.

“A BB gun is not some-thing that should be used in a residential area or in

close proximity to people in general. Th ey should be used in open fi elds well away from people.”

Th e Hope RCMP are currently investigating the source of the shot and ask anyone with in-formation to contact the detachment at 604-869-7750.

A fi re has caused about $2,000 worth in dam-age at Mount Hope Motel.

Crews were called to 318 Old Hope Princeton Way at about 8 p.m. on Th ursday night. Several trucks and fi refi ghters arrived on scene quickly to extinguish the blaze, as they were involved in nearby training exercises.

Th e fi re was contained to one unit, but a neigh-bouring suite suff ered some smoke damage.

Th e blaze was caused by a pan of oil catching fi re on a stove or hotplate in the room.

One of the occupants tried to put it out, how-ever the fl ames spread quickly. Both people managed to escape without injury.

“People are reminded to take caution, and never leave a pot or pan of grease or oil unat-tended on a stovetop,” said Fire Chief Tom DeS-orcy. “Ensure you have the appropriate measures, such as a fi re extinguisher, nearby.”

Cuts to optional premiums to ease pain: CEOICBC basic to jump 11 per cent

Jeff NagelBlack Press

Most motorists will pay ICBC about $27 more in premiums next year, but the bite will be deeper for those who opt only for basic insurance.

Basic premiums will rise $68 or 11.2 per cent per customer if the B.C.

Utilities Commission approves the public auto insurer’s proposed rate hike.

Optional premiums will be $41 lower on average, or six per cent.

It refl ects a continuing pattern of ICBC redu-cing the cost of its optio-nal insurance – where it faces competition from

private insurers – rela-tive to the basic package, where it has a mono-poly.

President and CEO Jon Schubert said the two rates should be looked at in combina-tion, because most mo-torists buy all their co-verage from ICBC.

Th e combined premi-um hike works out to an extra 2.1 per cent, lift ing the average amount most motorists pay from $1,277 now to $1,304.

Individual rates vary depending on claims

history, vehicle type, region of the province, years of experience and level of coverage.

“Aft er four years of not having to increase our rates, we now unfor-tunately face a diff erent reality,” Schubert said.

“We’re not happy that we need to increase our rates but the majority of our customers will be paying just a few dollars more, on average, than they did in 2008.”

He said the drop in optional rates was pos-sible mainly due to de-

clining auto crime anddamage claims.

Overall claims costsrose $200 million in the fi rst nine months of 2011.

“We have seen increa-sing pressure, in parti-cular, from bodily injury costs,” Schubert said.

Bodily injury costs areto hit $1.7 billion this year, up $350 million from fi ve years ago.

Low interest ratesdue to the global eco-nomy have also pus-hed investment incomedown.

Fraser Health launched a new online tool Monday to help showcase surgeons in the region.

Patients and physicians will be able to fi nd the names of surgeons who may be able to perform surgical procedures sooner than others.

A list will then be shown of fi ve surgeons in Fraser Health who are predicted to likely be able to perform the surgery sooner than expected. With more than 250 surgeons op-erating in 10 hospitals, it has been a challenge in the past

to know all of the region’s surgical health specialists and their predicted wait times for surgery.

Entitled the Soonest Sur-gery Tool, the website is www.fraserhealth.ca/sur-gery. It uses data that Fraser Health provides daily for the Ministry of Health’s Surgical Patient Registry.

Th e website also provides helpful information on how to prepare for surgery, includ-ing checklists for patients, and information for patients on post-surgery care.

If the propaganda fl owing over “tar sands” crude shipments across B.C. were oil, the province would be out of defi cit by now.

U.S.-funded professional environmentalists and their aboriginal partners lined up with the NDP last week to peddle a range of half-truths and falsehoods about proposals to pipe diluted bitumen from Alberta to a new port at Kitimat, where tankers would deliver it to Asian markets.

Th ey staged a slick news conference in Vancouver where they claimed to have a seamless wall of aboriginal communities the length of B.C. opposing the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline. A 10-year-old girl in a cedar bark hat warned of

devastation to the coastal ecology, providing the kind of emotional visual that appeals to urban television audiences who know and care little about science or resource industries.

Th is event was co-ordinated with the publication of a report warning of huge risks from piping “tar sands” crude. Th e report was produced by the Natural Resource Defence Council, the Living Oceans Society and the Pembina Institute.

Th ese three obscure organizations are among those identifi ed by independent researcher Vivian Krause on her website, www.fairquestions.t y p e p a d . c o m / r e t h i n k _campaigns/. Th ese and other environmental groups have received millions from U.S.-based foundations in recent years.

Here’s one of many examples of the money trail that Krause has followed. U.S. tax returns show the Pembina Institute and

a B.C. environmental group were paid $200,000 by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund Inc. in 2006-07 “to prevent the development of a pipeline and tanker port” on the B.C. coast.

Th e same Rockefeller fund has investments in competing pipelines going south.

Documenting this huge money

spill, Krause concludes that U.S. interests are working to stop Canada from exporting oil to Asia so the U.S. will be the only market available. Th ey dress it up as environmentalism; we fall for it.

Not surprisingly, the latest “tar sands” scare report was seized on by the B.C. NDP.

“Th e pipeline goes over

mountains, across farmland, over the Fraser and Skeena Rivers and straight through the Great Bear Rainforest to the Pacifi c, where it will be picked up by supertankers trying to navigate our inland coastal waters,” said NDP environment critic Rob Fleming.

Fleming parroted the report’s claim that diluted bitumen is more likely to cause corrosion in pipes and tankers.

Enbridge issued a statement refuting the study. Its oldest bitumen pipeline went into service in 1979, and “a complete metal loss inspection of this line in 2009 revealed no increased risk or incidence of internal corrosion.”

Oh, and the proposed pipeline route doesn’t cross the Fraser River. And claims of a huge increase in greenhouse gases from “tar sands” compared to conventional oil are grossly exaggerated. (Th e vast majority of emissions from all crude sources come when the refi ned fuel is burned to truck in

your groceries or get you to work.)B.C.’s own Wilderness

Committee chimed in, but this eco-show was organized by the local branch offi ce of San Francisco-based ForestEthics. Th ose are the folks who blessed us with the faux-aboriginal name “Great Bear Rainforest.”

A similar campaign is underway against expansion of the existing Kinder Morgan pipeline from Edmonton to Burnaby, which brings Alberta oilsands crude to ships heading out under the Lions Gate bridge and winding through the Gulf and San Juan Islands to Asia.

Tankers have been loading “tar sands” oil in Burnaby for about six years now, but the enviro-propagandists didn’t notice until a couple of years ago. Up until then, Fleming and his colleagues raged about maintaining a “moratorium” on B.C. tanker traffi c that never existed.

While many people still cling to the idea of children bringing home a piece of paper with grades and comments at the end of term, it may be time to take another look at this approach.

For generations, the industrial-style education system has been fi xated on producing graduates like widgets, and report cards have mirrored this model with a simplistic analysis of students’ strengths and weaknesses. Admittedly, report cards have been upgraded over the years, with more comments and a reduced emphasis on grades at the primary level.

But what educators now know – and B.C.’s new personalized learning agenda aims to address – is that students have diff erent learning styles and require assessments that are measurable, fl exible, adaptable and motivating.

So far, the province has not done a good job defi ning personalized learning and conveying exactly what and how it will change B.C.’s education

system – and under the current model of labour relations in education, it’s hard to know how this will be achieved.

Still, the teachers’ contract dispute has shown there are other ways to assess and report on student learning. Teachers are communicating with parents and students by email and telephone, posting information online, sending home records of individual assignments and outlining specifi c problems.

What’s more, parents are being encouraged to seek out information about their child’s learning. Th ere may be some gaps if parents don’t know how or are unable to communicate with their child’s teacher. In those cases, it would be up to teachers to reach out.

Th ere will always be a need for standardized assessment and recording, especially for those headed for university, but a piece of paper at the end of term is not a fully meaningful record of success for all students.

Th e recent ruling by the B.C. Su-preme Court changes the drunk driv-ing law to make it unreasonable for drivers who blow over .08 to get a 90-day suspension.

However, it is deemed reasonable for drivers who blow .05 and up to .08 to get a 30-day suspension and prob-

ably $4,000 in charges.Th is leaves the question: Why is it

reasonable to allow a police offi cer to act as “judge, jury and executioner” (a term used in a newspaper article) in the case of drivers with blood alcohol levels of .05 up to .08, but unreason-able for them to act the same way in

cases where the level is over .08?Why is it reasonable to seize a per-

son’s vehicle for three, seven, or 30 days and deny that person due pro-cess of law.

Th e police offi cer should issue a summons to drivers with blood al-cohol levels of .05 and up to .08, so

the driver can have his or her day in court.

If the police offi cer should not act as “judge, jury and executioner,” then we should ensure they do not act as “judge, jury etc.” in any type of police case.

Th ere’s no solution to climate change.I’m just so sick and tired of the climate

change extremists trying to cram it down the throats of all Canadians.

If it’s true that we are ruining the planet, then why tell us that even if we stopped burning fos-sil fuels now, it would not make one bit of dif-ference.

Have they ever thought about all the active volcanos spewing ash into the atmosphere or

the forest fi res? Th ere is nothing we can do about climate change.

Even if we tax people to death with carbon taxes, and bring in carbon trading, it will make some people feel good, but will aff ect noth-ing.

I am so glad our prime minister is not swayed by all this stuff . It would bankrupt the country.

David J. Standcumbe

As Minister of Defense, Peter Mac-Kay is charged with the responsibility of procurement of equipment for our military. He has been a tireless sales-man promoting the acquisition of the Lockheed-Martin F-35 JSF (Joint Strike Fighter).

Th is fi ghter aircraft has been sur-rounded in controversy, cost over runs and technical problems throughout its development. Th e controversy that now rages is how much this aircraft is going to cost and the stark reality is that no-body really knows; especially so when it will not come into service in Canada

for another eight years. Th e acquisition of this aircraft comes

at a time when all Western govern-ments including the US are under se-vere economic restraints.

Th ere is also the daunting question as to whether such high tech weaponry is needed in this day and age, when terrorism is touted as the most serious threat to our national security.

By his recent actions MacKay shows contempt for the public purse and we are left wonder to if this same extrava-gance extends to the acquisition of the F-35. Canadians should be deeply skep-

tical regarding Mackay’s obsessive sell-ing of the F-35 as the only choice.

Mackay has been so brazen as to use military aircraft as his personal taxi even when military personnel advised against it as politically unwise.

He showed no consideration for the operational costs of this equipment (a Cormorant helicopter costs $32,000 an hour to operate), but he was only con-cerned with satisfying a personal whim. Nor did he consider that he was taking essential, and very expensive, search and rescue equipment out of service that could at any time be called out to

deal with a real emergency. Th is is not the fi rst time MacKay has

shown poor political judgment and a lack of personal integrity. He has by his own actions impeached his trustworthi-ness in managing a major procurement of new aircraft for the RCAF; especially so in a time of economic austerity when Canadians must feel assured the right aircraft is purchased for the right rea-sons and at a reasonable cost.

Canadians must hold an arrogant and spendthrift minister to account and insist on his resignation.

Homeless have refugeKerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Hope’s Extreme Weather Shelter con-tinues to remain open as temperatures dip below zero.

Th e 20-bed shelter at the Hope Centre on Th ird Avenue opened its doors for six days in November, and has served as a refuge for the homeless every night in the last week.

“It keeps them from freezing to death,” said Kim Paolini, prevention program coordinator with Hope Community Services. “It’s a barrier-free shelter. It’s also kind of a way to connect with the people who are hidden homeless. Th ere tends to be less crime when the extreme weather shelter is open.”

Th e shelter opens when there’s sub-zero temperatures, or continuous bad weather due to rain, wind, snow or sleet.

Staff ed by two employees, it operatures from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. Th ose who spend the night are given a small meal in the evening and another before they leave in the morning. Anyone in the shelter also has access to warm blankets and clothing they can take with them when they leave.

Paolini said seven people, on average, currently use the shelter services and three spend the night. Individuals who don’t want to stay must leave by 11 p.m.

Th e shelter is run by a committee made up of members from Th e Hope Centre, Hope and Area Transition So-ciety and Hope Mental Health. Hope Community Services oversees the shel-ter for BC Housing, which funds staff , food and laundry costs from November to March. Northwest Harvest Church provides the space and covers heating expenses.

Hope Volunteer Search and Rescue has re-ceived a $42,500 community gaming grantfrom the province.

“Many of the search and rescue person-nel who work so hard to keep our region safeare volunteering their time and energy with-out the thought of fi nancial compensation,”said Chilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner.“Th rough these grants, we’re making sure theycan continue to provide the exemplary, invalu-able service our community needs.”

Hope Volunteer Search and Rescue is amongfi ve organizations in the region benefi tting fromthis round of grants in the public safety catego-ry. Chilliwack Search and Rescue Society hasreceived $42,000, Chilliwack Amateur RadioClub $5,050, Harrison Hot Springs VolunteerFire Department $20,000, and Kent-HarrisonSearch and Rescue Team Society $56,000.

The Wiebes perform in HopeGrace Baptist Church is off ering a free

concert with Th e Wiebes on Sunday.Shane and Angela Wiebe have been

singing together since the day they met. Th eir fi rst adventure, long before they be-gan dating, was a choir tour of Germany, Austria and Switzerland in 2000 with the Columbia Singers. Th e group was led by Tony Funk, who ended up bringing the couple together again two years later. As the story goes, Angela needed a pianist to accompany her on violin. She called Funk for the number of someone who could help her last minute, and was given Shane’s.

Th e couple began performing regularly together, started dating in June 2002, and were married in December 2003. Th e fol-lowing May, Shane began his journey to a top fi ve spot on the hit television show Ca-nadian Idol, where he had an opportunity

to work with musicians like Lionel Richie and Gordon Lightfoot.

Th e Wiebes released their debut album Into Your Light in June 2009, which won Inspirational Album of the Year at the 2010 Covenant Awards. Th e duo’s 2009 Christ-mas With You album was also nominated for two Covenant Awards, and ended up on the Canadian AC Top 50 charts among artists like Michael Buble and Mariah Car-ey. Th eir latest record, Th e Hymns Collec-tion, was recently released and is steeped in poetic and theological music.

Th e opening act for Th e Wiebes on Dec. 11 will be the GBC Children’s Christmas Concert, with performances by the girl’s club as well as the Sunday school classes.

Th e concert starts at 6:30 p.m., and an off ering will be taken to support the min-istry of Th e Wiebes. Grace Baptist Church is located at 949 Th ird Ave.

SportsSenior girls host tourney this weekend

Grade 8 Mustang Kelly Peter pulls down a rebound ahead of Chilliwack Middle School’s Kayla Jones. The local girls were defeated by the visiting team 46-15 in their home-opener last Wednesday.

BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD

Barry StewartHope Standard

Aft er their fi rst week of league action, the Grade 8 and 9 Mus-tang basketball teams can hold on to the thought that “it can only get better.”

A tweak here and tweak there and the opponents will be getting less freebies and the Mustangs will be draining more shots. Th e scoring gap will nar-row and the players will gain confi dence.

Th ere’s always that hope.Th ere’s always a chance to

get a laugh out of their bungles, too, as has been apparent in the home games this past week. Th ey don’t take themselves too seriously.

It’s a good thing that the shooting isn’t up to snuff yet. In the Grade 8 girls’ game against Chilliwack Middle School last week, a Mustang confi dently grabbed a rebound and headed for the net.

Oddly, her opponents stepped back and let her shoot.

Her team-mates gasped in terror.

Air ball....Th e shooter looked disap-

pointed, as did the CMS players — but the other Hope players looked relieved. She had been shooting at the wrong hoop!

Oops! Arts teacher Jon Polishak is

coaching the Grade 9 boys this year and he’s holding onto the hope that things will improve like they did the two other times he coached. He was in charge of the Grade 9 boys, the fi rst year he came to Hope and then the Grade 9 girls a few years later. Aft er a gap of a couple of years, he’s back at it.

“I remember, we lost our fi rst three games of the season, then we came back and won fi ve games straight,” said Polishak on Monday.

“I had a lot of the guys on this year’s team in my math class last year,” said the coach, who is better known for his high school drama productions. “We’ve only got seven players, so they’ll get lots of court time. Th ey’ll need lots of stamina too.

“Some players have a lot of learning to do — but Blake Deschenes and Levi Sandberg are good ball handlers and shooters. Levi just about lives in the gym.

“We had our fi rst game at A.D. Rundle last week and we lost by ten points,” said Polishak. “We only had six guys, too,

as one of our players fouled out.”Th e teaching staff continues to support aft er-hours sports

but local citizens have also stepped up to help coach.Jeff Holgate was an assistant to Jason Fisher in past years

and has taken on the head coaching spot for the senior boys and Jeff Kuhn is coaching the Grade 8 girls.

Teacher Tammy Nazarchuk heads up the senior girls team and they had a good showing at their fi rst tournament of the year, coming fourth out of eight teams at Summerland last weekend.

Th is weekend, the senior girls host their annual Winter Invitational, with teams coming from as far away as Ross-land, Quesnel and Fraser Lake.

Action starts at 2 p.m. on Friday, with Hope taking on Rossland. If the HSS students value school pride more than their academics, it could be a tough game for the guests, as there’s a plan to stack the stands with Mustang-backers.

“We’re having a buy-out for the last class,” said athletics coordinator Alicia Dubois on Monday.

“Each student has to donate one dollar or a food item to get out of the class and into the game,” she said. “It has to be the full class, or not at all, to avoid having some kids head out the door early.”

Hope’s next game will be at 8 a.m. or 11:30 a.m. on Saturday morning, depending on the outcome of the fi rst game. Each of the eight teams has a three-game guarantee and the public is welcome to attend, with no door charge.

On Tuesday, Dec. 13, the an-nual alumni game should draw a good crowd, as players from the past come back to show that they’ve still “got it.”

2008 grads Kaileigh Schofi eld and Karli Tepasse are leading the alumni eff orts, organizing fundraisers that will help the senior teams with their trans-portation expenses.

Th e girls’ game will start at 6 p.m. and the boys should start by 8:15, said Schofi eld.

“We’ll be doing 50/50s and we have 2 contests that will go on between games,” said Schofi eld. We’ll have a half-court shot for 13 and older — and whoever wins will get $150 cash. Th ere’s a three-point line shot for 12 and under and whoever wins that will get $50 cash. If there’s a tie, there will be a shoot-out.

“Th ose prize were donated by Andy Tepasse and Dave Rad-

more from Remax, as well as Ken Svensrud from Cascade Cleaning.

“Th ere will also be raffl e prizes that were donated by fami-lies & business throughout the town,” she added. “Admis-sion is by donation.”

Schofi eld said they would be fi rming up numbers this week, on which alumni would be attending. She and Tepasse are in for sure— as are husband and wife, Kyle and Taylor Kjemhus.

Th e seniors will have their work cut out for them, added Schofi eld.

“Th ey haven’t beaten us yet.”


Ernst BauerMarch 9, 1942

– November 28, 2011

It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Ernst (Ernie) at his home in Agassiz on November 28th. Ernie will be remembered by his loving wife, Taffy, his children- Sabina (Graeme), Julia (Dustin), & Alex (Hayley), grandchildren (Roche, Tenaya, Ethan & Linden), sister Liz (Paul), father, Ernst Sr., nieces, and treasured community of friends. He is predeceased by his mother, Hilda and daughter, Nicole.

Ernie, an analyzer of life, was dedicated to his family, and the betterment of his community and the world. His determined Bavarian spirit, quirky humour, and strength of character touched so many, and will remain an inspiration in our hearts and thoughts for always.

Special thanks to Dr. Robert Fox and to the many friends who reached out to help. A Celebration of Ernie’s Life will be held on Saturday, December 10th at 1:30pm at the Harrison Hot Springs Resort Hotel. In lieu of owers, enjoy an ice cream.

LEGAULT,Theresa (Terri) Margaret

(nee Allary)

After a long hard battle, Terri passed away peacefully with family by her side. She was born in Sturgeon Falls, Onta-rio, where she grew up and married. She moved to Hope with her husband and fi ve chil-dren in September 1968. Over the next 40 plus years Terri was an active member of the Canadian Foresters, where she enjoyed monthly and an-nual bowling tournaments. She was also a member of the local Thursday night bowling league for many years.Terri will always be remem-bered for her love of books. In 1971 Terri along with her hus-band (Ray) opened “Ray’s News & Bookstore”, where if you were looking for a particu-lar book, she would try very hard to get it in for you. In the early 1990’s she joined Pages Bookstore where her love of books continued. She met many people who touched her life throughout the time she was there. She always saw good in anyone she met.Terri was predeceased by her father, Victor, mother, Loretta, sister, Patricia and her long time partner, Cecil. She will be sadly missed by her family; Juanita (Oran), Janet (Marvin), John (Lisa), Judy (Joseph), Joyce (Donald), Jennifer (Doug) and 9 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. Also by her life long best friend Ray Legault, brothers; Bernie (Betty), Buddy, and Percy (Judy), her extended family; Sherri (Bill), Shelly (Ron), Shayne (Char), James and Bella, and her sister-friend Audrey, together with many other family and friends.Special thanks to Dr. Nyirenda and Dr. Brown (her Angel) and all of the nurses and staff at FCH and ARH. And an extra special thanks to Shelley from the Hope Hospice Society. No service by request. In lieu of fl owers, please consider a donation to the Canadian Can-cer Society or Hope Hospice Society.
