Site preparation for the new ad-dition at Coquihalla elementary school is now underway.

Unitech Construction has been hired to manage the project, which will see an extra four class-rooms built, additional wash-rooms, and the covered play area enclosed.

“It will be enough room to house all of the Grade 5s, 6s, and 7s,” said Natalie Lowe-Zucchet,

school district secretary-treasur-er.

The addition is being built on the 6th Avenue side of the school, where the bus turnaround and visitor parking was.

Unitech Construction has been removing the concrete and pre-paring the site for foundation work. The parking area will be re-located and additional temporary parking has been established on the opposite side of the school.

Parents are being asked not to

drop their children off in the bus area in front of the school.

Instead they can be dropped off or picked up on Coquihalla Street, between 6th and 7th av-enues. Two openings in the fence have been made along with walk-ing paths so students can access the school.

Lowe-Zucchet said construc-tion is expected to start within the next month and will likely take eight to 12 months.

“We’d like parents to be patient

with the project and direct anyquestions to the school principal,”she added.

“The board had expected therooms would be available forGrade 5s, 6s, and 7s in the fall.However, we will be discussingwhether or not we want to lookat getting the Grade 7s into theschool for next year or put it offa year based on where we are withconstruction.”

Billions of dollars are spent each

year on underarm deodorants and

antiperspirants. An antiperspirant

contains a product that blocks

the pores that release sweat.

A deodorant simply contains

aromatics that mask the smell of

body odour. Check the labels to

see whether a product contains

both or just a deodorant. Just

a reminder, that the chemicals

in antiperspirants do not cause

breast cancer.

If you have arthritis, can you

predict the weather? We often

hear that arthritics can tell when

the weather is about to change.

There is probably some truth

to this. A drop in barometric

pressure will allow in amed joints

to swell more and of course cause

more pain. Weather can also

have an effect on asthma and

migraines as well.

When you donate blood, make

sure you’ve had a substantial

meal beforehand. Be well

hydrated, in fact start drinking 1-2

litres of water a few days before

your donation and one litre on the

day of. Get a good night’s sleep

and make sure you feel well on

the day of your donation. No sore throat, colds etc. Make donating blood part of your life. Check the website: blood.ca/eligibility

When taking oral medication, try having a sip of water before the dose. This reduces the chance of it sticking in the esophagus on its way to the stomach. Follow it with a full glass of water and don’t lie down for a few minutes.

Sewage discharge at Kawkawa LakeKerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

A sewer line running un-derneath Kawkawa Lake rup-tured on Sunday.

The district has since taken measures to shut down the pump station and First Class Waste tanker trucks are on site to transport sewage un-til the necessary repairs are

made. A dive team is expect-ed in Hope this week to as-sess and fix the line.

“There’s nothing coming out of it anymore,” said act-ing CAO Donna Bellingham.

“Residents are not affected at all really. However, right now we’re asking people to stay off the lake until we can work with the dive team and

get the problem rectified.”The lake water itself was

affected by the sewer line break, not the District of Hope water system.

Although there was a rela-tively small amount of dis-charge, Fraser Health issued a precautionary warning.

Residents should never use untreated lake water for

domestic purposes, such as drinking, preparing infant formulas, juices, ice cubes, washing fruits and vegeta-bles, cooking and personal or dental hygiene.

The District of Hope has notified all required provin-cial authorities and all re-quired water testing will be conducted.

News

Hope resident Dani-elle Sandgren was born with Alfi’s syndrome, a rare chromosomal disorder that causes mental and physical disabilities.

There are only 130 people in the world with the same condi-tion. The doctor rec-ognized it immediately when she was born and informed her par-ents Tracey and Er-nest. It took three ago-nizing weeks of genetic testing to confirm the results. Life suddenly changed.

Providing the care of a child with disabilities is challenging, stress-ful – emotionally and physically, as well as fi-nancially. The ongoing costs to cover ongoing therapy and equip-ment necessary for a child with disabilities is expensive, and many of these costs are not covered by the health care system. All of this puts a financial stress on families wanting to provide all they can.

Mobility for Danielle was challenging and seemed unachievable, and made her feel dif-ferent from everyone

else. The family con-tacted Variety – The Children’s Charity for assistance in getting some equipment. Vari-ety provided a special-ized stroller for Dani-elle which allowed the whole family to go on outings in the commu-nity together.

Danielle, who is

now nine years old, received life-changing mobility last year by getting an adapted tri-cycle funded by Vari-ety.

“She got to laugh and to fly and to expe-rience real freedom for the first time,” said her mom Tracey. “Variety is an organization that

helps with dreams.”When Danielle first

got her bike, she and her mom were at the community garden and Danielle insisted on riding it all the way home. Danielle zoomed past their house and went all the way to the neighbour’s house, with her mom

running after her the whole way.

Variety enables chil-dren to achieve little victories. Danielle’s victory is that she has been able to experi-ence the gift of free-dom. Variety believes that children who have special needs are champions, and is in-spired by their courage and determination. With support, these children often achieve epic little victories as they conquer and rise above their individual challenges

The Sandgren fam-ily is grateful to Vari-ety for providing a life changing experience.

“The bike didn’t make Danielle the same as everybody else; the bike made ev-erybody else the same as Danielle,” said Trac-ey.

The 49th annual Va-riety Show of Hearts Telethon airs Feb. 14-15 on Global BC, be-ginning at 6 p.m. on Saturday, and winding up at 5 p.m. Sunday evening.

Resident hunter protest pays offTom FletcherBlack Press

The B.C. government has adjusted its plan to give guide-outfitters and their non-resident clients a greater share of big-game hunting permits, after protests from resident hunters around the province.

When the plan was an-nounced in December, the government calculated that it represented a shift of 168 animals in limited-entry hunt areas from resident hunters to guide outfitters.

After listening to the pro-tests, Forests Minister Steve Thomson announced last Friday that is being adjusted to a shift of about 60 animals to guide-outfitters.

The changes affect bull elk and either-sex elk permits on Vancouver Island, moose in the Thompson and Omineca regions, bison in the Peace region and bighorn sheep and grizzly bear in the Kootenays.

“I made slight revisions to

the hunts for moose, bighorn sheep, grizzly bear, Roosevelt elk and bison to address the

concerns I heard after the de-cision was released,” Thom-son said.

There are 34 limited-entryhunts in the province thatare divided between residenthunters and guide outfitters,who typically guide clientsfrom the U.S. and Europe.Resident hunters enter a re-gional lottery for the avail-able opportunities.

Allocated hunting oppor-tunities represent about eightper cent of the 45,700 big-game animals taken by hunt-ers each year in B.C. In mostareas, hunters can purchase atag for each species that hasan open season.

Thomson announced thepolicy change after more than10 years of consultation withguide outfitters and the B.C.Wildlife Federation and localrod and gun clubs that repre-sent resident hunters.

He defended the shift toassist guide outfitters as atrade-off that prevented themfrom using unoccupied guideterritories around the prov-ince. Those areas are now leftto resident hunters.

B.C. will likely be the only province in Canada to report a balanced budget for the current year and project surpluses for the next three years, Finance Minister Mike de Jong says.

In a briefing for re-porters on what to ex-pect when the annual budget is presented Feb. 17, de Jong said the surplus for the cur-rent year will be larger than the $444 million forecast in November. Corporate and per-sonal income tax has

been stronger than expected, but there is no certainty that will continue into the new fiscal year that begins April 1.

The second straight surplus after billions in deficits the previ-ous four years will be used to pay down debt, but there is some room for helping poorer people, de Jong said. He hinted that this may include a change to the long-standing practice of deducting spousal child support payments from social assistance and disabil-ity payments to single parents.

“There are some ar-eas where we believe there have been pres-sures on the program-ming side,” de Jong said. “We have a little more ability to deal with them and relieve some of that pressure, to assist people in greatest need.”

NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth said he is hopeful the child support clawback pol-icy will be changed after more than a year of protest by the op-position. And he said the government isn’t telling the whole story about balancing the budget using “tax in-

creases by another name.

“You’re going to see higher Medical Ser-vices Plan premiums, higher ICBC rates, we’re already seeing higher fees for camp-ing,” Farnworth said.

The next budget will also provide tax relief for the wealthi-est B.C. residents, as a two-year increase on incomes more than $150,000 a year comes to an end. De Jong im-posed the 2.1 per cent hike in his pre-elec-tion budget in 2013, after then-NDP leader Adrian Dix promised a similar move to help

balance the books.The recent plunge

in oil prices has had amajor impact on rev-enues to Alberta, Sas-katchewan and New-foundland, but B.C.has largely escapedthat due to continuedgas production butlittle oil from B.C. pe-troleum fields.

De Jong emphasizedthat with the contin-ued glut of shale gasproduced across NorthAmerica, it remains anurgent priority to de-velop liquefied natu-ral gas exports to Asiabefore B.C. revenuesfall further for lack ofsales.

Rural revival vowed in throne speechTom FletcherBlack Press

Th e B.C. government pre-sented a cautious preview of the coming year with its speech from the throne Tuesday, predicting a rural revival through industrial growth while lowering earlier aggressive expectations for min-ing and natural gas exports.

Read by Lieutenant Gover-nor Judith Guichon to begin the spring legislature session, the speech announced the forma-tion of a rural advisory com-mittee to “provide independent and impartial advice on helping rural B.C. increase opportuni-ties, manage growth and meet its full potential in communities big and small.”

As the government continues to await investment decisions for liquefi ed natural gas facili-ties, the speech noted that LNG “could create 100,000 jobs and the revenues to eliminate our debt,” adding that exports are needed to maintain a gas indus-try that already employs 13,000 people.

Th e speech referred to fi ve new mines opening since 2011, but avoided mention of north-east coal mines that have closed due to low commodity prices that also threaten the continued operation of metal mines in B.C.

Much of the speech touts ear-lier achievements, including the carbon tax on fuels and a settle-ment with B.C. public school

teachers aft er a bitter strike last year.

Th e government confi rmed it is about to table a third straight balanced budget on Feb. 17, and hinted at new spending aimed at expanding the economy.

“Th is year in transportation, your government is working in partnership with Alberta and Saskatchewan through the New West Partnership to add ca-pacity and resolve bottlenecks to strengthen our Asia-Pacifi c gateway,” the speech said.

Th e government also plans to launch a new “medal of good citizenship” to recognize those who donate their time and mon-ey to improve their communi-ties.

Post-secondary ‘re-engineering’ begins

Premier Christy Clark’s push to “re-engineer” the B.C. education system is moving ahead aggres-sively in B.C.’s 25 post-secondary institutions.

One of the fi rst tasks for Andrew Wilkinson in his new role as ad-vanced education minister was to outline the shift in operating grants for colleges and universities to in-demand occupations. By 2017, a quarter of the money for post-sec-ondary institutions will be directed to areas where labour force surveys forecast a need.

Th is was greeted with some alarm when it was announced last year. Simon Fraser University pres-ident Andrew Petter at fi rst down-

played the coming skills shortage as “relatively small” and warned against pushing post-secondary in-stitutions into a “zero sum battle for dollars.”

Petter has since come on board, as his approving comments were featured in the ministry’s Jan. 26 news release detailing the shift . He and others have been assured that in spite of Clark’s rhetoric, suggest-ing trades training is in and univer-sity is out, the news for SFU and other universities isn’t all that bleak.

Wilkinson is completing a prov-ince-wide tour of all post-second-ary institutions this week, and I reached him at his visit to Th omp-son Rivers University in Kamloops.

“Th e response to this has gener-ally been pretty good, because the students are putting this pressure on institutions themselves,” he said. “Some of the institutions are … shrinking things like teacher

education and putting more eff ort into the science-based, quantitative fi elds that are oft en related to these in-demand occupations.”

Th e surplus of teacher gradu-ates has been noticeable for some time, but that’s largely a function of oversupply, much of it in urban areas. In the Cariboo, for example, teaching jobs are projected to have the highest number of openings by 2022, followed by nursing and re-tail and wholesale trade managers. Th en come heavy duty mechanics and electricians, but also parapro-fessional jobs in legal, social, com-munity and educational services.

Province-wide, it’s part of a broader demographic shift to fewer children and more retirees. In fact the government started this tar-geted funding a decade ago with health care, forcing universities to produce more doctors, nurses, lab techs and so forth.

Th e retiring baby boom is ex-pected to account for more than half of the openings in the next de-cade, which will expand the skills demand across most fi elds, beyond the trades training for the antici-pated liquefi ed natural gas industry and other high-demand industrial areas such as truck driving.

Wilkinson notes that of the min-istry’s $1.9 billion budget, about 60 per cent goes into general post-secondary education, for intro-ductory courses that students take when they are seeking a career path, through undergraduate stud-ies to professions.

“So I think the idea that we’re going to somehow minimize or di-minish funding in that general edu-cation, arts and science category is just not true,” he said.

Key to this shift is measuring the performance of courses off ered at colleges, universities and techni-

cal schools. Each year, the minis-try surveys about 30,000 graduatesto fi nd out whether their studieshelped them fi nd a related job.

Th e results are available on a web-site that breaks them out by institu-tion and general study area. To fi ndit, do a web search for “BC studentoutcomes” and select the “executivedashboard” to check the results forcourses and schools in your region.

Th e site provides charts show-ing the percentage of students wholand relevant jobs. Not surprisingly,it tends to be higher for technicalprograms and lower for fi ne arts.

It also shows grads’ average wag-es, a sobering but useful bit of in-formation for high school studentsand their parents.

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

A relaxed attitude on marijuanaTh e attitude towards marijuana in this province is in sharp

contrast with the approach in other parts of Canada.Proof of that comes in details from a court document fi led as

part of an application to seize a property near the Aldergrove border crossing which was the subject of a massive search.

Although the large property just drew public attention a cou-ple weeks ago, the documents suggest it has been used for mari-juana production since 1993. Th at’s a 22-year period.

It is important to keep in mind that, in 1993, growing and selling marijuana for any purposes was illegal in Canada. While there were advocates for medicinal marijuana, which has since been allowed, growing, selling and using the product could lead to criminal charges.

Yet as the documents suggest, there was plenty of marijuana being grown in Langley (and other parts of B.C.) at that time. Some was for local consumption, and some was truly for medic-inal purposes. However, the vast majority was grown for ship-ment to the U.S. and other countries, oft en in return for other drugs or guns.

B.C. residents have had a more laissez-faire attitude towards marijuana since the late 1960s, and a willingness to put up with marijuana growing, if not actively partaking in what has been a big business, has been strong for many years.

Could any other province have been so receptive to marijuana activist Marc Emery who, aft er serving several years in a U.S. jail, is encouraging American marijuana users to come here and buy their supply — even though it remains illegal to sell it, ex-cept for medicinal purposes?

It seems likely that, if the legalization of marijuana in Wash-ington and Colorado turns out to be successful, marijuana will be legalized throughout North America some day.

If that does happen, B.C. marijuana activists, and the laissez-faire attitude that so many B.C. residents have, will have played a major role.

PREVIOUS WEB POLL:

What happens to our recycling? Approximately a week ago, I was

at the local landfill – or transfer station as it is now called – to drop off cardboard for recycling. While there, I noticed a long pile of gar-bage that had cardboard and blue bags dispersed throughout. Along-side the garbage was a pile of blue bags also with cardboard.

I asked an employee if they still re-cycled cardboard and he replied that they did. But he said that he didn’t know why both blue bags and card-board were in the garbage. When I was leaving, I saw an employee use a small tractor to push the blue bags along the cement to make room for more deliveries. Some of the bags were torn with their contents spill-ing out and moving them in this manner only aggravated the situa-tion.

I take my cardboard to the trans-fer station because I saw a First Class Waste employee throw my neighbour’s cardboard in with the garbage. As a person who recycles and attempts to do my best to pre-serve our planet for future genera-tions, I felt very insulted and my ef-forts at recycling to be disrespected.

I believe our former council (and some of those councillors are on the new council) gave First Class Waste a mandate to operate the transfer station. First Class Waste knows the regulations regarding garbage disposal and recycling, but are they following those regulations? Who is overseeing this company and their operations at the transfer station?

I hope our new District of Hope council does something to improve this situation.

My wife and I moved to Hope in 1995. We lived in northern B.C. for 18 years and I loved my job up there and the people, but the area was not really where we wanted to live in our retirement.

When I got the chance to move to Hope with my job af-ter the harshness of the climate of the north, we felt like we had move to Hawaii because of the sheer beauty of liv-ing in this spectacular scenery.

Unfortunately in the 20 years we have lived here, as we all know the local economy has tak-en a major downturn. However, it does not mean that we cannot

take pride in the ap-pearance of our com-munity to compliment this beautiful scenery. I have particular is-sue with the unsightly building on Water Av-enue as you come over the Fraser River bridge by the campground.

I am of the under-standing that we have an unsightly property bylaw. When I went to town hall, I was in-formed that council couldn’t do anything about it as it’s private property. I am sure if I had something as un-sightly as that on my front lawn, I am sure my neighbours would complain and it would have to be removed. I honestly believe that

town council is drag-ging their feet on this issue and it is about time something was done as we have been looking at this eyesore long enough along with many other prop-erties in this town.

I admire people run-ning for council but if you accept this respon-

sibility, you cannotjust “talk the talk.” Youmust walk the walk.

On Jan. 9, my motorhome burned to the ground on the Emory Creek Bridge.

Ambulance, RCMP and fire de-partment were on site very quickly. I want to thank the ambulance at-tendants for checking me over and allowing me to stay at the site.

Special thanks to Const. R. Tum-bus who stayed with me until we were allowed to leave, giving me advice and answering any questions

I had. He was very kind and com-passionate.

Also, thank you to Elaine and Sue from Boston Bar, who let me and my little dog keep warm in their vehicle.

They did a lot to help me get over the trauma of the accident.

Once again, small town people are there for you when you need someone.

Vivian Edwards

It is high time we started saying yes to pipelines.

A train load of oil cars should not be allowed within 100 miles of our moun-tainous Fraser River and Thompson River canyons.

This Fraser River and estuary tidal zone would never fully re-cover from a major oil train derailment. We should be getting very serious about looking after it rather than try-ing to restore it.

This marvel of cre-

ation has been very good to us. I know our First Nations people will agree. It is time to reciprocate.

Everything we need to sustain life is al-ready here, all we have to do it look after it.

History in HopeCommunity

Hemlock Resort has canceled the 2014/2015 ski season.

Th ey made the an-nouncement last week aft er the forecast still showed no snow for the next two weeks.

“When you rely on what falls from the sky you take the punches that Mother Nature gives you,” says Samuel Hicks, direc-tor of operations and hu-

man resource manager at Hemlock Resort. “At the end of the day, there’s no snow on the ground.”

Th e hill had its big-gest snowpack in mid-November. Since then, the Pineapple Express has melted the moun-tain with consistent rain and temperatures in the double digits. In a press release, the resort states “warmer than average

temperatures, heavy rain and negligible snow” led to the “regretful conclu-sion” to suspend opera-tions for the balance of the season.

With a set closing date of April 4 and no snow forecast in the next 14 days, the ownership group made the decision to “stop losing money on a daily basis.”

Even if the snow did

magically appear, staffi ngwould be an issue now.Th e resort hired approxi-mately 100 part-timestaff , many of whom hadalready left the hill forother work. Hemlock willhonour the 2014/2015Seasons Pass holders forthe 2015/2016 season, re-gardless of any potentialprice increases. For moreinformation, visit www.hemlockresort.ca

Local model competing on world stageKerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Angela Sutherland will be representing Canada in the Top Model Worldwide 2015 competition.

Th e 24-year-old Hope resident was chosen as a grand fi nalist from more than 4,000 entries to compete March 13-14 in London, U.K.

“I am so blessed to have a chance to work with the best in the in-dustry and as a new model it’s incredible,” said Sutherland. “Mod-eling is something I’ve always wanted to do. It’s a passion of mine.”

Sutherland was drawn to performing from an early age. She began dancing at the age of three and over the years has applied her stage experience to oth-er areas. She’s worked as a showroom model for a Vancouver designer and

worked with local pho-tographers to gain ex-perience and build her portfolio. Sutherland has also been working as a background actor for fi lm and TV, and was cast in Christmas Iceta-strophe which was shot in Hope and Chilliwack

“I’m really inspired by people in the industry. I want to be an inspiration as well and really help people achieve their goals,” said Sutherland, who currently works as a server at 293 Wal-lace Street Restaurant and as a housekeeper at Fraser Canyon Hospi-tal. “I think modeling is expressing who you are. It’s a break to get away and be confi dent and be the person you envision yourself to be. It takes a lot of work, dedication, and a professional ap-proach.”

Top Model World-wide is one of the lead-

ing international pro-fessional model search competitions. Th e expe-rienced team of indus-try professionals pro-vide top-level coaching, guidance and support for fi nalists.

In addition to the many awards decided by a panel of judges, there is a public vote award which generates public support for each contes-tant and raises money for charity. All profi ts from voting go towards Top Model’s chosen charity, which for 2015 is Children with Cancer UK. Sutherland’s char-ity fundraising page is www.virginmoneygiv-ing.com/AngelaS. Vot-ing ends on March 11.

Sutherland is current-ly looking for sponsors to help with her com-petition eff orts. She’s already partnered with 293 Wallace Street Res-taurant, who secured

her fi nal spot in the competition. Anyone can sponsor Sutherland through the Top Model website at www.top-modelworldwide.com. Sutherland also wants to reach out to design-ers who would like to build their resume and have their clothing showcased on an inter-national runway stage.

In addition, she’s cur-rently fundraising to help cover her airfare, accommodation and transportation expens-es. Sutherland recently

suff ered setbacks, which impacted her ability to save for the trip. In De-cember, she was hospi-talized by a virus that kept her away from work for more than a month. Soon aft er, she found out that her mother was very ill and used the lit-tle money she had to be with her.

Anyone interested in helping Sutherland can make donations online at www.gofundme.com/la8nwc. Th ey can also be dropped off at 293 Wal-lace Street Restaurant.

UFV chancellor looks to lead by exampleJessica PetersBlack Press

Dr. Gwen Point has been installed as UFV’s chancellor, becoming the second person to hold the ceremonial po-sition.

A crowd of about 400 people gathered on the Chilliwack campus last Wednesday to witness the historic event, as Point was appointed to the role by B.C. Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon. Warm applause turned to cheers and then a stand-ing ovation for Point, as she was dressed in her dark green chancel-lor’s robe and cap. She mouthed the words “thank you” as a First Nations drumming circle beat out a power-ful rhythm and sang the honour song at her feet, below the stage.

While her family and friends in the audience held their hands open, Point jubilantly moved her fi sts to the beat of the drums, smiling and nodding.

In her speech, the new chancellor spoke about diffi cult begin-nings, friendships, and moving forward.

“Th is is special,” she said, “because this is a house of learning.”

Despite not fi nishing high school initially, ed-ucation has been a con-stant thread through-out Point’s life, leading up to her new role as the ceremonial head of UFV.

“I didn’t get to fi nish high school, not be-cause I didn’t want to but because of the con-ditions of the times,” she said. “But I wanted to get my Grade 12 and my mentors said ‘write your GED and apply.’ I did, and I’ve never looked back.”

Point fi rst took cours-es at UFV in the 1980s, when it was the Fra-ser Valley College. Her husband, now former Lt.- Gov. of B.C., Ste-ven Point, also studied at the school in its early days. As Point’s educa-tion and career grew, the school’s did as well. She became a member of the board of gover-nors at UCFV, and then an assistant professor at what is now a full-fl edged university. Point stepped down from her role as an assistant pro-fessor in the School of Social Work, in order to take on the volunteer

chancellor position. She had been teaching First Nations Studies, includ-ing Stó:lo Nation De-velopment, and Stó:lo Communications and World View.

She holds a Bachelor of Education degree from UBC, a post-baccalaureate diploma from SFU, and a Mas-ter of Education degree from the University of Portland, and is near completion of a doctor-ate in education from SFU. She also holds an honorary Doctor of Ed-ucation degree from the

University of Victoria.“I am very pleased

to be working with Dr. Point,” said UFV Presi-dent and Vice-Chan-cellor Mark Evered. “She brings a unique balance of community and university experi-ence, leadership and understanding. She has served our university as a teacher, a scholar, an administrator, and a board member, has held a number of offi ces in government, includ-ing the senior offi ce of Chatelaine, and is a passionate leader, men-

tor, and role model in our community. She is an outstanding addition to UFV.”

Point has taken over from Dr. Brian Minter, the university’s fi rst chancellor. Minter served two three-year terms, from 2008 to 2014.

“Th is is a very sad day for me, and a re-ally happy day, too,” Minter said, address-ing the UFV Board of Governors. “Th e choice you’ve made is simply outstanding.”

Barry Delaney, chair

of the Board of Gover-nors, was one of many offi cials to speak at the ceremony.

“Th e ideal chancel-lor carries out duties

with warmth and dis-tinction,” Delaney said, traits that are part of Point’s nature. “She is modest. She is passion-ate about this place and about the Fraser Valley.”

Point said she’s look-ing forward to her new role, and in the con-tinuing role of mentor for those in pursuit of higher education.

“My grandmother told me that what you know has no value,” she said. “ It’s like sand in your hand unless you pass it on to others. I know that teaching the community about the Stó:lo people has made a diff erence and I re-ally believe that it is an act of reconciliation. It is helping to create a better understanding of recent history. Every class, I would see a shift and transformation in the students.”

When she started teaching in 1990, there were only two or three aboriginal students in her class. In her fi nal class last year, there were 26.

“Th ere is a willing-ness to reach out andmake space for aborigi-nal students here, andthe question is, has thatmade a diff erence?” shesaid. “Th at is the bot-tom line, and yes it has.”

UFV is a place of di-versity, she said, some-thing that is evident inthe student population,the connections withstudents in other coun-tries, as well as the mixof academic and tradesstudies.

“We live in a timewhere we have so manyopportunities here,” shesaid, “and you reallywant to look at that di-versity. My elders saidyou don’t teach yourchildren all the samething because they’re alldiff erent.”

In the end, she said,changing the futurecomes down to off eringyourself as a positiverole model.

“You can only teachby example,” she said. “Ihope I can shine a lightfor others and encour-age them.”

Community

Dr. Gwen Point was installed as the new Chancellor of University of the Fraser Valley on Wednesday during a formal ceremo-ny at the Chilliwack campus. Point is the second chancellor for UFV — before her was Dr. Brian Minter from 2008 to 2014.

VALENTINE’SDAY TWEENDANCESaturdayFebruary 14

Barry StewartHope Standard

When you’re the long-time organizer of a men’s hockey tournament, it might just end up being named after you. That’s the way it’s gone for the annual “Dusty’s Tournament” that attracted 14 teams to the Hope Arena last weekend.

This is Dusty Smith’s sev-enth year coordinating the event, which drew teams from the Fraser Valley and as far north as Quesnel.

“A lot of teams have guys that grew up in Hope and they end up coming back for the tournament,” said Smith. “It turns into a bit of a reunion.”

Action started at three o’clock on Friday afternoon and most of the visiting teams stayed overnight at six motels, said Smith.

“An Abbotsford team even rented a minibus from Meloshinsky’s to get them from their motel and back.”

Good idea, as Saturday night was party night in the mezzanine.

“The beer garden was the most packed that I’ve seen it in the seven years I’ve been running the tour-nament,” said Smith, a recently-elected councillor for the District of Hope. “A lot of guys were there with their wives or girlfriends.

“Mark Petryk brought in a DJ from Vancouver and we also had a beer pong tournament, with six teams.”

Back on the ice, Smith had split the teams into a six-team A-division and two pools of four teams in the B-division. The $800 entry fee gave teams a three-game guarantee, with three periods of 20-minute running-time — and also helped pay for the referees and scorekeepers.

“We had 26 games, so we had six refs working on the weekend, with the two-man system,” said Smith.

Choosing where to place a new team can be a bit of a guessing game, Smith ex-

plained, as a team might undersell their skills, to get put in the easier side of the draw. Returning teams are easier to assess.

“There were a few blow-outs — but we also had the most ties I’ve ever seen

at this tournament,” said Smith.

In the B-division final, Abbotsford’s T-Snakes won easily over the WSBR team organized by Brock Bergen, with players from Hope, Agassiz and Chilliwack.

In the A-final, the Greas-ers from Chilliwack had a 4-2 win over last year’s champions, the Abbotsford Flyers, said Smith. Win-ning teams were awarded commemorative shirts.

Hope Minor Hockey has

tournaments scheduled for its Hockey 3 and 2 divi-sions, on the Feb. 13-15 and Feb. 27 to March 1 week-ends, respectively.

On the March 13-15 weekend, the men are back at it, with the men’s league

tournament. As leaguepresident, Smith has thehonour of organizing thatone as well.

“We’ll have six localteams, then we’ll bring insix or eight other teams,”said Smith.

Annual hockey tournament draws 14 teams

Spencer McColl of the OMH team makes a toe save in their Friday night A-division match against the Chilliwack Greasers. Fourteen men’s teams took part in the annual“Dusty’s Tournament.” The Greasers won the game handily and went on to win their division title.

Graham, Hewitt (Buzz) LyleOctober 18, 1926 - January 22, 2015

Hewitt “Buzz” Graham passed away peacefully at Heritage Village in Chilliwack on the morning of January 22, 2015, surrounded by his family and loving wife, Ellen of 65 years at the age of 88.Buzz was born in Laidlaw BC and loved the outdoors. He could often be found in the woods enjoying nature and animals as a young child. He began his life as a logger as a teenager and worked hard every day until his retirement at 65. He operated sidewinders on Fraser River, Harrison, the Sunshine Coast and worked at camps around the province. He was a proud ‘boom man’ and respected for his skill in the operations. He loved the opportunity to sit and talk about the good old logging days. Buzz married Ellen in 1949 at the Anglican Church in Hope and they had fi ve children, fours boys and a girl. Buzz loved his family and would go without to make sure everyone had what they needed. He has 13 grandchildren and loved to treat them to a walk to the store for a bag of candy and slushee whenever they would visit.Buzz was well known in Hope and would walk downtown almost every day. He always had time to talk, share a laugh and would make anyone he met feel like a friend. He was a long-standing member of the Eagles and enjoyed a game of pool and a screwdriver with his fellow members. Buzz loved to play darts and bowl, winning many trophies - one pin away from the perfect game. He enjoyed listening to good old country music, playing crib and spoiling his pets. He took pride in his poached eggs and clam chowder. He loved watching his children and grandchildren play sports and supported all their endeavours. Buzz will be remembered for his sense of humour, hard livin’, hard working, his charm, wit, generousity and love for animals. He loved his wife Ellen through thick and thin and would count on ‘momma’ for a good meal. Their love endured to his fi nal day with her lovingly by his side.He will be survived by his wife of 65 years, Charlotte ‘Ellen’ (Prest) Graham, his sons Don (Michelle), Ken (Karla), Ed (Christy), his daughter Bonny (Tim), and son Rick (Nerine) and grandchildren Matthew, Farley, Taze, Kara, Byron, Courtney, Jason, Kelly, Taylor, Carter, Maddi, Morgan and Mackenzie and many great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his brothers Les and Earl and sister ‘Sis’.In lieu of fl owers donations can be made to Heritage Village Seniors Care Home where he received love and care from staff who became part of his family.

Donations can be dropped off at the offi ce in Chilliwack General Hospital or be mailed to: Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation, c/o Chilliwack General Hospital, 45600 Menholm Rd, Chilliwack BC V2P 1P7.Buzz loved a party and a Celebration of Life “Irish Wake” will be held at the Eagles Hall in Hope, B.C.
