Fatal car crash takes three livesERIN KNUTSON/THE STANDARD

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When the paramedics ap-proached the scene, all three pas-sengers were pronounced dead.

“I went over to Brad’s fam-ily and I was received with openarms and they did appreciatethat,” said Vicktor.

The B.C. Coroners Service andRCMP are continuing their inves-tigation into the reasons for theaccident.

Brad was known among hisfriends as a charitable person whocared for everyone.

Council Briefs

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

RODENT CONTROLIN YOUR YARDThe best way to keep rodents away from your house & yard is to get rid of the food source that attracted them there in the fi rst place. That will probably mean asking your neighbours to do the same.•Don’t leave pet food outside. •Keep all garbage inside trashcans with securely closing lids•Don’t feed the birds with a feeder or by throwing seeds/nuts into your yard•Make your compost unfriendly for them by keeping it wet, turning it often and having a secure bin to store it in.

Delegations:Mr. Victor Smith was in attendance to address council on the plans of the Communities in Bloom Committee for 2015. He presented their proposed budget and maintenance plans for the year. Their work is largely focused on the chainsaw carvings but does encompass other community beautifi cation projects as well. They have numerous volunteers, however there is always room for additional help if anyone from the community is interested.

Staff Reports:The Director of Community Development presented several staff reports for Council’s consideration, including:1. Request for a Geotechnical Hazard Development Permit for 22100 Ross Road – for a two lot subdivision and the associated construction of single family dwellings and approved accessory structures;2. Request for three different Development

Permits for 66547 Kawkawa Lake Road – for a fi ve lot subdivision and the associated construction of single family dwellings and approved accessory structures;3.

Request for an Old Hope Princeton Way Development Permit Area #2 for 950 Old Hope Princeton Way – for the development of a hotel, restaurant and conference centre.Council approved all of the requested permits. Details are available at the District Hall.

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

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

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

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

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

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

OPEN HOUSE After 22 years of dedicated service, Mr. Scott Misumi, Director of Community Development for the District of Hope, is retiring. His last day of work will be on March 31, 2015.

March is Nutrition Month in

Canada. Here are the ve

guidelines for healthy eating:

1) Enjoy a variety of foods; 2)

Emphasize cereals, breads, other

grain products, vegetables and

fruits; 3) choose low-fat dairy

products, lean meats, and food

prepared with little or no fat 4)

achieve and maintain a healthy

body weight by enjoying regular

exercise; 5) limit salt, alcohol and

caffeine.

Honey is one of the few foods that

doesn’t spoil. With liquid honey,

there may be some crystallization

with time, but this doesn’t mean

it’s gone bad. Placing it in warm

water will dissolve the crystals. By

the way, a bit of honey is helpful

when your child is coughing. Give

it a try if your child is over one year

of age.

People who have trouble sleeping

at night might bene t from a long,

warm bath one or two hours

before bedtime. Evidently our core

temperature drops starting about 2

hours before bedtime and is at its

lowest around 4 am. Warming up

the body with a nice bath combined

with the drop during the night, will

relax you.

Or you can follow the advice of

Mark Twain: If you can’t sleep,

try lying on the end of the bed….

then you might drop off. Probably

not an acceptable way to a better

sleep!

March is also Pharmacists

Awareness Month. It’s a time

to highlight all the services we

pharmacists can extend to you our

customers. Our role in healthcare

is expanding and we want you to

be aware of some of these new

directions.

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

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

Oft en making time for everyone and anyone, Brad will be remem-bered fondly among the people who knew him and as someone with fu-ture aspirations.

“He was going back to school in April to become a power line tech-nician at BCIT in Vancouver, and I moved down there early to be his roommate and to make some mon-ey,” said Ottesen. “Th ere was a con-cert we planned to go to aft er his birthday — he was always helpful and everybody loved him. We’re all kind of hanging out together right now, but everyone’s depressed.”

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

“We’re still in the works of deciding where the funeral is going to be and we’re going to do it all together with all three boys. It won’t be this Saturday because of our aunt’s funeral, but it will probably be the following Saturday. We haven’t got word back from the funeral home yet —we’re hoping for the Alli-ance Church in Chilliwack.” she said. “He was a wonderful son — he was al-ways there for everybody and he was happy go lucky. He was such a positive guy and he had a great smile and he had so much to live for — he was going to be a linesman and Devan was going to start his weld-ing class at the end of this month.

As for the boys family ties,“My brother’s son was Morgan and my grand neph-

ew’s son was Devan,” Norma said. No offi cial memorial date has been set, despite radio

and facebook tributes to the boys. “He was a beautiful boy — he was awesome.”

Friends and family are coping with the triple tragedy that has left local citizens torn

Remembered with loveNews

In front row from left to right, Morgan Peters aged 18, Devan Alexander Neil King-Peters aged 19 and Bradley Webb aged 20 were lifelong friends and cousins. They were never far apart from one another.

Boston Bar sparks eager growing minds

Erin KnutsonHope Standard

Boston Bar Elemen-tary-Secondary School principal Debra Devine was inspired by a der-elict greenhouse right in her backyard and decided to investigate.

Her initiatives to restore it and turn it into a function-ing greenhouse gar-nered attention from the Vancouver Sun’s Adopt-a-School pro-gram, resulting in a donation of $12,000 to help fund her vision.

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

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

bottles turning its once pristine visage into a bit of a dumping ground.

“I live up here in Boston Bar and for grocery shopping and to have fresh produce, you have to drive pretty far — it’s forty minutes to Hope, but if you re-ally want to save mon-ey and do some seri-ous shopping you go to Chilliwack, so tag that on to your food and gas bill,” she said. “It gets pretty spendy.”

Th e vibrant Devine originated as a home

economics teacher witha passion for nutritionand food, eating well,hands on activities andpretty much any wayto get kids moving andparticipating.

“When I saw thegreenhouse, I was like,are you kidding me? Isaid this is cool, it’s re-ally cool inside.”

Children would of-ten bring unhealthylunches to school,which sparked thekeen principal’s inter-est in her students nu-tritional welfare.

Boston Bar Elementary-Secondary School children and their doting principal Debra Devine show the Hope Standard what good greenhouse keeping is all about.

“You think about families of all income levels — if we didn’t have to pay so much for food, that would give us more discretionary money in our pocket. Th at would mean more money put away for ed-ucation, more money to fi x your car, more money for your home or for a vacation. So, I thought why not as a school or as a com-

munity try to feed each other? If we can feed each other and get our food bill down, then we have more money to do other things with.”

Part of Devine’s im-petuous for change was rooted in the phi-losophy to get the kids excited about growing their own food.

By fostering a sense of agricultural cultiva-tion, perhaps, inspir-

ing some future grow-ers, conscientious of nurturing local pro-duce, and by incu-bating a new genera-tion of green thumbs, concerned with their environment, while providing quality and eco-friendly produce to a very deserving community, a much needed change could be forseeable

“Th ese kids have big

hearts, so my thinking was that if we created a program where we’re growing food for other people, the kids are go-ing to feel better about themselves and they’re going to be excited. If they’re giving back, and they’re giving to their community, that’s even better, that’s go-ing to pump their little hearts up and make them feel good.”

Tuition, daycare aim to end single parent welfare trap

Single parents on social assis-tance will no longer lose their ben-efi ts when they go back to school, and will receive additional money for tuition, transportation and child care to complete their studies under a program announced Wednesday by the B.C. government.

Starting in September, the full costs of child care will continue to be paid for a year aft er the comple-tion of skills training, and govern-ment-paid dental and other health benefi ts will also continue for a year to give people a chance to get back in the workforce.

Social Development Minister Michelle Stilwell said the program

will cover training programs up to a year in length, calling it “one of the most signifi cant social pro-gram shift s this government has ever introduced.”

Children and Family Develop-ment Minister Stephanie Cadieux said her ministry will cover day-care for any of the 16,000 single parents on income or disability as-sistance who want to be trained to join the workforce.

“We know that child care costs can be in excess of $1,200 [a month], de-pending where they are in the prov-ince,” Cadieux said. “Sometimes it’s less. We’re just going to make sure that they’re covered.”Surrey single mother Emi Yumura described her struggle to get back to work aft er leaving a “dysfunctional” relation-ship and ending up in a transition house with her two-year-old son. Th is kind of bridge support is what parents in her situation need to get

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

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

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

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

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

Society still has a long way to go, despite equality initativesPremier Christy Clark issued a statement a couple weeks ago in

regard to International Women’s Day, which played out on Sunday, March 8th. Clark wrote:

Since International Women’s Day was fi rst declared more than a century ago, women have made great strides toward full equality, but there is much work ahead.

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

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

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

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

Th ere are great disparities in our society, like any, but we are mak-ing strides to rectify certain existing imbalances.

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

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

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

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

Reports of Bad DriversDo you have a huge problem with bad

drivers? Perhaps, you’ve gotten the blame for a

road violation you didn’t commit — or that time you were backing up your ve-hicle and somebody slams in to you and won’t admit that they were in the wrong, or that they caused the crash.

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

The current law states that if you have a person in your vehicle as a witness, then you can use that person’s testimo-ny in a court of law.

My suggestion to all concerned driv-ers on the road is simply this.Put a cam-era on the dashboard. Every vehicle should have one — then you have a re-cording as proof and a reliable witness that will stand up in court.

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

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

There should no longer be fallible hu-man testimony, but the eyes of a cam-era, which do not lie.

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

I’d like to give a shout out to all the volun-teers, groups and pri-vate citizens who have been working on the cleanup around Hope aft er the January 2015 ice storm.

Most of the hiking and biking trails were im-passible aft er the storm. I thought it would take until summer and be-

yond to clean up the mess. Th anks to the vol-unteers, most trails can now be safely used and are well on the way to being as good as new.

I would also like to thank a few specifi c groups: FVRD, BC Parks and the District of Hope.

Barriers thwarting innovationBritish Columbia

is a renowned global centre for mineral ex-ploration and devel-opment and is well-positioned to access growing markets.

But, even though the exploration and devel-opment of B.C. mineral resources has injected billions of dollars into our provincial econo-my, the province is still

seen as a challenging exploration jurisdic-tion globally.

Despite this fact, and despite the current economic environment for commodities, the exploration industry has retained a promi-nent place in our prov-ince, serving as an im-portant source of jobs and opportunity.

Th e Provincial gov-

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

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

commodity cycle.Imagine the pros-

perity that mineral ex-ploration could bring to B.C., if we removed more of the barriers thwarting innovation and the growth of this environmentally safe industry.

Lester Pearson’s challengeI would like to con-

gratulate the House of Lords in London for passing historic legis-lation which requires the British govern-ment to allocate 0.7% of their GDP to Over-seas Development As-

sistance.Why this is of such

interest to Canadians is that was our Prime Minister, Lester Pear-son, who in 1969, chal-lenged the developed countries to achieve this level of funding

to those countries less fortunate than us.

Sweden, the Nether-lands, Norway, Den-mark, Luxemburg and now Britain have achieved that target. Unfortunately, despite promises by several

governments, Canada is still below 0.3%. Perhaps it is time for us to pass such a law in Ottawa and honour the memory of a great man.

Ice Storm Trimph

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

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

Th e program covers education costs for approved training pro-grams, transportation costs to and from school, and basic child care costs during job training.

Creating quality jobs is the best thing we can do to protect and secure our families futures. As a taxpayer, I understand that gov-ernment needs to support those in need. But I also expect those who are able to work to fi nd good jobs and become con-tributors to

our economy.With this initiative, I believe

government has struck the right balance and will help people be-come self-suffi cient in supporting their own families. It is a win-win that in the long run will benefi t our communities and make B.C. stronger.

Salt Spring Island calls to local artistsArts&Life

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

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

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

Th e winner will take home $10,000 and a one-month artist resi-dency on this little gem of a Canadian island.Th e best part — jurors will not know who the artist is, so it does not matter who you are. Of utmost importance is the artist’s creative skills, which should demonstrate originality, quality and integrity. Th e work should demonstrate a visual impact, while holding a depth of meaning.

Artist exposure will be extensive because Salt Spring Island is known as one of Canada’s premier art communities.

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

“An art prize like this, that is, national in scope is a good thing because it allows for a bigger audience to participate — the work I might champion will be challenging and current, it will be art that pushes the boundaries of the medium,” said Manitoba Juror Holger Kalberg. Th e list of fi nalists will be announced Friday, September 25th, and winners announced at an awards gala on Saturday, Octo-ber 24th.SSNAP welcomes artists Canada-wide to submit original two-dimensional and three-dimensional work. Th e Call for sub-missions is now open until May 31st. For more information about SSNAP, including artist submission and selection process, jury bios and event dates, please visit http://saltspringartprize.ca

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

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

year’s increase refl ects what would have taken place if in-dexing to infl ation had been in place at that time.

Th e lower minimum wage for restaurant and pub serv-ers is being retained, going from $9 to $9.20 in Septem-ber. Th e discount from the general minimum wage willremain at $1.25 per hour to account for tips earned byservers, Bond said. Piece rates for seasonal piece workersare to receive proportional increases, as are day rates paid

to live-in camp coun-sellors and residential caretakers at apartment buildings. B.C. is the last province in Canada to move to an automatic formula for setting the minimum wage. Th e annual increase will be announced each March based on the previous year’s consumer price index, and will take ef-fect each September to give small businesses time to prepare.

In the case of nega-tive infl ation, which the province experienced briefl y in recent years, the minimum wage would not be decreased.

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

Th e September in-crease amounts to about two per cent, keeping B.C.’s minimum wage higher than Alberta and Saskatchewan’s $10.20 an hour. Using a similar formula, Ontario’s min-imum wage rose to $11 an hour last year.

Stringing of the transmission line (conductors) along the new transmission towers for the Interior to Lower Mainland Transmission Project has begun.

Helicopters are required for this work. The contractor has obtained the necessary permits and permissions and is in compliance with Transport Canada requirements.

Conductor ends will need to be joined with the use of an implosive connector that is a metallic sleeve with a small charge in it for each conductor. Using safe and controlled methods, the sleeves are detonated which compresses (welds) the conductor ends together. This split-second process will create several flashes with smoke and very loud bangs.

Traffic control measures will be in place as needed. Work hours will conform to municipal bylaws.

The new 247 kilometre, 500 kilovolt transmission line between Merritt and Coquitlam will expand the capacity of the system that brings power to businesses and homes in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.

For more information please visit bchydro.com/ilm or contact BC Hydro at [email protected] or at 604 623 4472, toll-free 1 866 647 3334.

Barry StewartThe Hope Standard

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Bruce Becker, of Hope Mi-nor Soccer, went halfers with us,” said Smith. “We had some funds left over from our spring soccer camp last year and some money came from the school’s PAC. The goals came out of California and I borrowed a friend’s trailer to pick them up at Sumas — I had a bunch of girls help put them together and the second one only took about an hour. Getting the net-ting on was the tricky part.”

Smith explained that the old net retain-ers were oft en broken and sharp, which were a danger to players and caused a lot of damage to soccer balls.

Th e new goals have a better way of at-taching the netting. Th e wheels are at the back now and two people can easily move the goals. New nets and great early spring weather have given the girls a boost to their practices. Smith said he has 22 players on the roster, two of them from grade 8 and three from grade 12.

Now in his third year of coaching at HSS, he said a handful of the players have been with him from the start.

Since most of the players have limited experience in the game, fundamentals are a key aspect of the practices. One drill that has become a basic of most sessions is a two-touch drill with one line of girls fac-ing another line, about ten paces away.

One girl passes to the front of the other line, then runs to the back of that line. The receiving girl must stop the ball, then make a good pass to the original line — and switch sides.

Consistency is expected. Every success-ful pass gets a point toward a goal of 50 or 60, and any poor trap or pass makes the count go back to zero.

“Last year, we even went as high as 100,” said Smith.

Other drills work on movement in a game setting.

“Th is season, I really want the girls to slow down and control and shield the ball, get the head up and make a good play,” said Smith. “Th e ball doesn’t always have to move forward. You can look for lateral and back passes, which helps the team move forward cohesively.”

Double-A league play starts the first week after spring break, with the Mustangs traveling to Abbotsford’s MEI on April 8th and to Abbotsford Traditional on April 9th. Their first of three home games is on Thursday, April 16th, versus Chilliwack’s G.W. Graham.

On March 23 and 24, the team is host-

ing its second-annual spring break soccercamp, from 8:30 a. m. to 3 p.m. Kids willbe served breakfast and lunch —preparedin the school’s foods room — and will gohome with a snack. Between all the eating,the kids will get sessions to work on theirsoccer skills and play small-sided games,led by Smith and his team.

Cost per child is $60 total, with fundsgoing to the girls’ travel fund for tourna-ments at Merritt and Osoyoos.

“Last year, I think we had 35 kids,” saidSmith. “We’re hoping it will be closer to 50this year.”

5 IN MEMORIAM

In Memory ofBill SchwartzMarch 20, 2005

When evening shades are falling,

And I sit in quiet alone,To my heart there comes a longing

If he could only come home.

Friends may think I have forgotten,

When at times they see me smile,

But they little know the heartache

My smiles hide all the while.

Ever remembered, Louella
