Th e district of Hope is looking into the feasibility of taking over control and operation of the Station House.

Tammy Shields, executive direc-tor of AdvantageHOPE, presented a business case to council on Mon-day night that would see the historic building serve as the community’s tourist centre and museum.

“Th is asset we feel belongs to the community and it’s in jeopardy,” said Shields. “Time is of the essence be-cause of the deteriorating building. We have a lot of gratitude to everyone involved for us to get to this point here, and especially to the volunteers at the Station House. Without their ef-forts over the years, we wouldn’t have this piece of our community’s history.

We defi nitely want to celebrate the legacy of those eff orts.”

Th e Station House is prominent-ly located at the junction of Hope Princeton Way and Water Avenue. Th e building was originally built in 1916 by the Great Northern Railway and was relocated to its present site in 1985. It is currently occupied by the Hope Station House Community Arts & Heritage Society. However, the provincial government owns the land and has declined to renew the license until repairs and defi ciencies dating back to at least 2010 are completed. Th e Society is currently occupying the building with no formal term agreement in place.

In October 2013, AdvantageHOPE attended a regular meeting of the Society to present a proposal that

would see them transfer interest in the property to AdvantageHOPE. A memorandum of understanding (MOA) was signed with Advantage-HOPE agreeing to adhere to three principles in readapting the property – preservation of the building, future use benefi tting the whole community, and celebration of the Station House legacy. However, at a subsequent spe-cial meeting of the Society, member-ship voted by secret ballot to try and stay in occupancy.

AdvantageHOPE has since taken steps to follow through on the MOA, which included engagement with district staff , having a district build-ing inspector visit the site, tour of the property with Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Th roness, communica-tion with the province, and attending

a followup meeting with the Society. AdvantageHOPE is now lobbying

the district to assert ownership overthe building and enter into a newagreement with the province to oc-cupy the property. Th e district wouldprovide a $100,000 initial contribu-tion, which would be off set by therelocation of the Hope Visitor Centreand Museum Complex to the StationHouse. Shields said that investmentcan be leveraged further throughgrants and other funding opportuni-ties.

“We think that the visitor centreand museum’s current location is a bitof a lost opportunity,” she said. “Mostof our traffi c comes into us at Exit170, but most of it goes down OldHope Princeton Way.”

New plan proposed for Station HouseTri-West Contracting crews are working on upgrades to the Sports Bowl seating area, as part of the new community recreation park. Concrete no-post barriers are being placed and backfilled to reinforce the terrace seating area and increase spectator capacity.

Strike threatens to delay school startJeff NagelBlack Press

B.C. students are just days away from the sched-uled start of a new school year but there’s little sign of a break in the teachers strike that has dragged on through the summer.

Th e fi nal week of sum-mer holidays opened Sunday with a demand in Kamloops from B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker for an immediate start to media-tion. No formal bargain-ing dates are scheduled, but Iker, Education Min-

ister Peter Fassbender and government negotiator Peter Cameron were to meet Wednesday aft er-noon in Victoria, raising hopes for some move-ment. Teachers have also stepped up picketing as both sides prepare for the strike to stretch into September. A mass rally outside the premier’s Vancouver cabinet offi ces is also set for Sept. 5.

Veteran mediator Vince Ready is monitor-ing the talks and has indi-cated he will step into full mediation if it would be productive to do so.

Both sides blame the other for a gulf between positions that’s too wide for Ready to attempt to bridge. Th e province says the teachers’ pay and ben-efi ts demands remain far in excess of settlements reached with other public sector unions. Teachers, meanwhile, accuse the government of insisting on preconditions to talks that would unravel the

union’s past court victo-ries over the province on the stripping of contract terms on class size and special needs support. Th e province is appeal-ing the latest court ruling against it.

Also gaining promi-nence in recent days has been an opt-out clause that the government has tabled that would allow either side to terminate a new collective agreement if it dislikes the ultimate court outcome from ei-ther the B.C. Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court of Canada.

An education minis-try spokesman said he was surprised it has be-come an issue now. It was disclosed in mid-June by government nego-tiators who pitched it as a “pragmatic and creative” way to give the union comfort it wouldn’t be handed a massive defeat in court and could there-fore shelve those issues and negotiate an interim

agreement while the ap-peal proceeds. But aBCTF spokesman said it’sthe province not teach-ers who want an escapehatch, adding it suggeststhe government fears itwill lose in court againand is seeking to blockthat outcome.

Th e Liberal govern-ment has promised to payparents $40 a day for eachchild under 13 who miss-es school if the strike con-tinues. Various organiza-tions and businesses arescaling up their day campand other supervised careoff erings for Septemberin anticipation of a con-tinued school shutdown.

Th e province alsopromised Tuesday tocover supported childdevelopment costs for in-school hours for specialneeds children now ac-cessing services.

Fassbender on Mondayreiterated the govern-ment’s position that it hasno desire to legislate theteachers back to work.

The banning of smoking in public places is starting to see positive changes in many areas of healthcare. One bene t is a 10% drop in the rates of pre-term births and childhood asthma where smoking bans have been initiated. Unfortunately, only 16% of the people of the world are covered by these non-smoking laws and 40% of the world’s children are still exposed to second-hand smoke.

A peptic ulcer is a breakdown in the protective lining of the stomach or part of the small intestine. In the “old days” prior to the 1970s, treatment consisted of dietary changes, lots of antacids and

possibly even an operation. Today we know that most peptic ulcers are caused by the bacterium, H. Pylori. It infects 1 in 4 people but most don’t get an ulcer. Those that do can be treated with antibiotics and a powerful acid-reducer. No more bland diets or surgery today!

Pharmacists are asked about the bene ts of eating garlic or supplements to help certain ailments. It has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years in India, China and Egypt. The current scienti c evidence says it may possibly be effective for reducing high blood pressure, keeping arteries healthy,

reducing the risk of colon, rectal and stomach cancer (if eaten raw). It is unlikely to help those with diabetes, peptic ulcers, high cholesterol or preventing breast cancer.

Some people say that garlic helps prevent the common cold. If it works for you, that’s great. There is not a lot of high quality evidence that this is so but the side effects are minimal if you take it. Our pharmacists can add a balanced perspective to many of the popular herbal treatments. There’s a lot of hype out there. We can add some common sense to it all. Consult your doctor, too.

Canadian country star Aaron Pritchett is performing in Hope on Friday, Sept. 5 as part of Brigade Days.

Shields also pointed out that the current Hope Visitor Cen-tre and Museum site is in need of capital investment in the near future, not only for aesthetics but for major repair/replacement of outdated building systems in-cluding heating, plumbing and electrical.

Mayor Susan Johnston said the

possibility of the Station House being Hope’s welcome mat is very exciting. She pointed out that it’s time to “bite the bullet” and do something to make this happen, a view shared by Coun. Gerry Dyble.

“I agree something needs to be done with that property,” said Dyble. “I am supportive of this and I think it speaks to the com-

munity and it speaks to where we want to go in our vision. We can’t be shortsighted in our thoughts. It would be prudent of us to look at the feasibility.”

Coun. Donna Kropp and Coun. Ron Smith both support-ed the initiative but raised con-cerns about the perception of the Society being pushed out of the building. Kropp said she’d like to

hear from all stakeholders before making a decision on the future of the Station House.

“I think the facility overall would be a great attraction. I like the goal and vision but I don’t want to be part of a coup and I don’t think the district should be doing that,” added Smith.

Staff will report back to council at a special meeting on Sept. 29.

Gold fever in the Fraser Canyon

Kerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Th e Fraser River Gold Panning Championships returned to Anderson Creek Campground in Boston Bar over the weekend.

Th e event saw 158 pan-ners – 27 more than last year – from around B.C. and Alberta compete in several diff erent events to see who could recover a predetermined amount of gold fl akes from a bucket of pay dirt the fastest.

“A little bit of gold fe-ver is had by all because it’s a beautiful mineral that everybody loves to have,” said event orga-nizer Dan Moore, who is better known as Yukon Dan. “I would say there was 20-25 per cent new people this year which is great. It’s always good to see new people come out. We show them how it’s done, give them practice opportunities and then they get in there. Roughly 90 per cent of the people that camped out this year have already booked for next year.”

It takes over 35 vol-unteers to run the Fra-ser River Gold Panning Championships each year and planning starts 10 months in advance. Th e event kicked off with two days of workshops and demonstrations in Yale. Gold panning competi-tions began on Saturday, with events for children, teens, adults, seniors and professionals. Numerous prizes were then handed out on Sunday following the fi nals.

Th ere were also metal detecting competitions for adults, teens, children and three person teams. Th e fi rst place winner of the adult metal detecting competition was Matthew Kelly who won a meteor-

ite. Sam Tomelin came second and won a one pound copper bar. Th e top prizes for the children and teen competition went to Leven De Haan and Devon De Haan. Th e three person team was won by Matthew, Peyton and Cadence Kelly who found $20.70.

New Highway Thru Hell seasonKerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Th e new season of Highway Th ru Hell will highlight the chal-lenges of running operations in two provinces.

Last season, Jamie Davis Heavy Rescue lost a signifi cant amount of business in B.C. when a new com-petitor scooped up half the recov-eries, forcing Jamie Davis to seek new opportunities to off -set the restrictions. Taking a gamble, he moved into Alberta to tackle High-ways 881 and 63, setting up a sec-ond operation out of Lac La Biche while maintaining headquarters in Hope.

“Th is season is going to be excit-ing because of the two locations. Th e fact that all us guys are split up in diff erent places has changed the whole template,” said Davis, pointing out that the company has tripled in size in the last year and a half and there are now more than 40 trucks in the fl eet. “Business is booming in Alberta in comparison to what we’re doing in Hope. With the competition and the economy in British Columbia being so hard, the status quo now is we utilize more of our older, paid for trucks in Hope because it just doesn’t justify new equipment.”

Alberta’s Highway 881 runs north 300 kilometres through remote for-est, muskeg, and tundra between Lac La Biche and Fort McMurray. On a route supplying more energy to the U.S. than Saudi Arabia, hun-dreds of millions of dollars of heavy equipment must be moved daily on this narrow, two-lane highway into newly-discovered oil and gas fi elds. Almost 60,000 shift workers are in camps serviced by Highway 881, and on shift -change day, thousands of workers need to get home. Da-vis sent his best drivers and trucks to the Alberta oil patch and tasked Adam Gazzola to manage the new Alberta startup. His crew includes Colin McLean, a city driver fresh from Vancouver who has to earn Gazzola’s respect. Deep snow, bitter cold, and big recoveries that dwarf most loads in B.C. push Gazzola’s team to the limit.

Back in B.C., Davis faces more challenges this season. During the heaviest snowfall and worst ava-lanche conditions in decades, he’s left with a skeleton crew of new hires and old trucks in his battle to keep the Coquihalla Highway open. New drivers include Howie Irwin, a highly-skilled heavy recov-ery vet who used to work the Co-quihalla for Davis and his brother before buying his own truck and moving to the city; and Don Starr, a 20-year mountain veteran with MacGyver-like ingenuity.

“Th is season you can really see the diff erences between the types of weather. Hope has heavy, wet snow conditions versus dry, blow-ing snow and colder temperatures in Alberta,” said Davis. “Th e brutal conditions there are hard on peo-ple. Th e cold weather really takes a toll on the equipment and tunes us up a bit as to the conditions out there.”

Highway safety is a major part of the show and Davis hopes the added exposure in Alberta will help reduce crashes, as it did on the Coquihalla Highway. Accidents lo-cally reduced 36 per cent the fi rst year and 50 per cent the second.

Highway Th ru Hell continues to grow in popularity each season and is now broadcast in about 170 countries around the world. Season two was No. 1 in its time slot on Canadian entertainment specialty television among all key adult and

“We’ve certainly been through highs and lows in the years of the show. Th ere’s some good days and bad days, and the show tells how tough it is to be in the business,” said Davis. “However, I think the town of Hope benefi ts huge with tourism. We’ve got people that stop in Hope now to come and visit. We do up to seven tours of the shop a day at times. When the fi lm crews are here, they spend huge money too.”

Ruts in road to farmland changes

Th e month-long Agricultural Land Commission consultation closed Aug. 22, and the B.C. gov-ernment is compiling the feedback received from a province-wide tour and invitation to comment.

I can’t tell you much about the offi cial input. Th e consultation ses-sions were by invitation only, with no media allowed, and the submis-sions via website are also not pub-lic.

I reached Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick as he was traveling around B.C. with his camper van, conducting his own meetings with farmers. He’s not saying much ei-ther, except that a summary of the

fi ndings should be made public in September as the government con-siders new regulations.

Th e aim of this exercise is to consider relaxing rules around sec-ondary farmland uses in the Inte-rior, Kootenay and North regions, as well as food processing and re-tail sales of food and beverages on farmland. Also under consider-ation is allowing breweries and dis-tilleries, as wine and cider produc-tion are now allowed, and relaxing rules to permit more off -farm products to be sold from farms.

Letnick defended the 30-day summer consultation as adequate. It’s based on 11 questions devel-oped with staff , farm groups and local government. He’s also not counting how many emails were stacked up by proponents or crit-ics.

“I’m not conducting a plebiscite,” Letnick said. “What I’m trying to

do is come up with the best bal-ance of recommendations to make to government that can hold their own based on the idea and the po-tential positive and negative conse-quences.”

NDP agriculture critic Lana Po-pham was more forthcoming. She was invited to the formal sessions, and also won’t talk about them di-rectly. But she’s not backing away from her criticisms.

Th e government is proposing to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for several kinds of decisions, including subdivision for family use or into properties of 160 acres or more.

“I think the general idea was that people trust the ALC to make that decision, and it should still go through the commission,” Popham said. “Actually the commission has been making those decisions any-way, and I think they’ve been quite

fair when somebody applies.”She said farmers also aren’t sold

on the notion of easing the rules for secondary businesses.

“You will already fi nd situations where there’s, let’s say a welding shop or something like that at-tached to somebody’s residence who lives on ALR land,” Popham said. “Th at sort of stuff has been allowed, but it’s always had to go through the ALC or some sort of process that’s been in place. Th is leaves that process out, and so I think that’s the problem people are having.”

She noted that non-farm activi-ties have a way of growing until they become the main business.

A reader who attended the Kelowna session said even winery operators aren’t thrilled about the proposal to enlarge retail space and allow sales of wine or beer not made on site. He said “not one”

participant there liked the idea ofincreasing industrial activity suchas food processing or retailing.And he agreed with Popham thatthe ALC is doing a good job withsubdivision applications.

Popham also clarifi ed the situa-tion with the leased craft gin dis-tillery on her own Vancouver Is-land farm. It started as a winery,and the conversion needed onlylocal government approval becausethe production facility was alreadyconsidered and taxed as light in-dustrial.

Victoria Gin has been a modelfor the government’s push to allowdistilleries, breweries or meaderieson farmland. Given the B.C. Liber-als’ love of liberalized liquor, I ex-pect that change to go through.

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

B.C. education misfireWith less than a week left before students are supposed to return to the class-

room, there seems little reason to think they will.Despite insistence from both sides that they want an agreement reached by Sept.

2, school yards will likely remain silent.Indeed, as the clock ticked down last Th ursday, government and the teachers’

union were still trading shots, this time it was over Education Minister’s Peter Fass-bender’s comments in the media that, according to the BC Teachers’ Federation, broke an agreed-to media blackout.

Of course, few believed that the two sides would fi nd a negotiated settlement amid the lazy days of summer.

Th e trajectory has always been toward a fi nal showdown – one that is still com-ing.

It is, aft er all, the government that holds all the cards.Th e BC Liberals are early in their (strong) mandate, meaning they are better able

to weather the public backlash over the dispute.Th ey have in their pocket a raft of public sector settlements that suggest a negoti-

ated agreement is possible.And while there are many who are angered by the government’s bargaining tac-

tics, there are many others who argue the BCTF is asking too much and teachers have gone too far.

Th e government also knows that teachers cannot stay off the job much longer. Th eir strike fund is dwindling, and their resources are drying up.

And they know that those teachers who get fed up and leave the profession can be replaced by the hundreds of education graduates churned out each year by uni-versities in B.C. and across the country.

Meanwhile, parents who may feel the sting of increased childcare costs should the strike continue, have been off ered the salve of a $40-a-day payment.

BCTF negotiators may be hoping for a legislated settlement, one that would al-low them to face their membership as bruised but not beaten combatants.

But the fact is they have played their hand poorly. Th ey have cost their members money that no settlement will recover. Th ey have alienated their CUPE colleagues who suff er every day the schools remain closed. And they have underestimated the will of a government weary of more than two decades of confl ict.

PREVIOUS WEB POLL:

It is absolutely ridiculous that the B.C. government is playing “kitty by the door,” in its dispute with the B.C. teach-ers. Th is is probably the worst lesson possible for the prov-ince’s future workforce and leaders, its students.

Obviously, this has become personal for Premier Clark, and her extremely weak educa-tion minister, who is content

with prepared sound bites and premeditated statements from his ministry.

I was always of the impres-sion that we were to set an ex-ample for our youth, not the other way around. Premier Clark is using any potential negotiation capital as elec-tion campaign funds, trying to buy the student parental vote. Th ough this double cross of

taxpayer’s money is juvenile at best, she is not solely to blame.

Jim Iker’s sense of entitle-ment, with the teachers de-mands, are just a little more than unreal, and not being able to foresee that these incredible demands were going to hit a brick wall, is exactly that, short sighted.

I would suggest that the min-ister of education, step down,

and Jim Iker’s be removed as the head of the B.C. teachers union. Only then, can we have any constructive dialogue and negotiation.

As for Vince Ready stepping in, he’ll only participate, if it’s going to work for him as well. Which means a stronger me-diator is required. Let’s get it done!

While shopping at either of Jim Pattison’s Over-waitea Food Group (OFG) stores here in Hope, I usually “hightail” it out as fast as I can due to the high volume of what is questionably called “music.”

Debatable as that may be, I have asked a few friends and customers, elders being the majority, and even some young employees who agree that the music needs to be turned down.

When I called OFG, the woman told me that the person in charge of purchasing this marketed mu-sic was on holiday but that the customers have the power if they ask the manager nicely to have this done.

I did so but nothing was done. It’s still as loud as ever. If you fi nd it annoying, please contact the manager of your favourite store or perhaps, like me, you will shop elsewhere. Too bad, as Hope would like to keep its customers here, I hear.

The Fraser Val-ley Regional District (FVRD) has been rec-ognized as a “Climate Action Community” by the joint Provincial-UBCM Green Com-munities Committee and awarded recogni-tion for its effort to re-duce corporate green-house gas emissions.

The FVRD shares a common understand-ing with the province and UBCM that the ef-fects of climate change are evident throughout British Columbia.

Working together, the FVRD aims to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enable the province to reach the targets outlined in the B.C. Climate Ac-tion Plan.

“As a signatory to the Climate Action Charter, the FVRD has taken steps to mea-sure and reduce its corporate emissions and wants to set the stage for climate ac-tion throughout the region,” said Sharon Gaetz, FVRD board chair.

“We appreciate this recognition by the Green Communities Committee and hope that together, local governments and oth-er organizations can significantly reduce their environmental footprints.”

Wonder of birds showcasedClaudia CojocarContributor

Th e new backroom show at the Hope Arts Gallery will feature Vikki Ferguson of Kamloops, who hand builds sculptures of various bird nests from around the world using porce-lain clay.

To Ferguson’s knowledge, no one else sculpts bird nests using porcelain because of it’s fragility. She mixes and applies the glazes in a way that the fi n-ished piece looks like a three dimen-sional watercolour. It can take from 30 hours to several months to complete a nest, and no two are alike. Much research is required to duplicate the nests and eggs in minute detail.

“My wish is that my work demon-strates my love of both ornithology and the craft of sculpting,” said Fer-guson. “I am having a love aff air with

what I am doing since it allows me the freedom to give expression to my in-terest in birds”.

Her latest vision has seen her em-barking on a series of sculptures of endangered species.

Th e show runs from Aug. 30-Sept. 28 at the Hope Arts Gallery, 349 Fort St. An opening reception will be on Aug. 30 from 7-9 p.m. Refreshments will be served.

Ferguson will also be leading a two-day workshop on her sculptural and glazing techniques on Sept. 27-28 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Th e Art Machine, 777 5th Ave. Cost is $50 per person and all materials included. Pre-registration is required.

Hope swimmer competes at provincials

Earlier this month, Rachel Deschenes (left) wrapped up 10 years of competitive swimming — the last two of which included coaching Nicola James. Both swimmers competed for the Agassiz-Harrison Aquanauts. James recorded 14 personal best times this season.

BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD

Sports

Barry StewartHope Standard

Aft er 10 years of competitive summer swimming, RachelDeschenes is calling it a career.

Th e 20-year-old third-year geophysics student at the Uni-versity of Calgary got her start in the sport when she was inGrade 3, swimming for the temporarily-revived Hope Otters.When the club went into hiatus in 2006, Deschenes switchedto the Agassiz-Harrison Aquanauts — then back to the Ottersfor 2010 — and back down-river for the 2012-2014 seasons.She served as assistant coach of the Aquanauts for the past twoyears.

Aft er drilling her students all season, Deschenes said, thetide was turned on her.

“Th e students like to see the coaches swim, so I put myself intwo Div. 7 (age 17-20) relays and the 50-fl y at the summer re-gionals,” said Deschenes. “I had very, very, very limited train-ing!”

Th e relays were the 200-medley and 200-freestyle.“In order for the relays to go to the provincials, you have to

fi nish top-two. For individuals, it’s top-three,” she explained.“Our medley fi nished second and our freestyle was third —and I fi nished second in the fl y at the regionals.

“At the provincials in Kamloops, our medley came in 12thand I fi nished 13th in the fl y.”

Putting on her coaching hat, Deschenes was still beamingabout the success of one of her swimmers, who had struggledwith disqualifi cations this year.

“Hebrina McInroy swims in my division and we had workedall summer to get her to the point of swimming without get-ting a DQ — and she earned a bronze (in the 50-fl y) at region-als.

“At Kamloops, I stayed in the water while Hebrina fi nished.I was at the wall, screaming for her to fi nish — and she camein 15th in the province. She was so thrilled!”

Refl ecting on her swimming career, Deschenes’ said her big-gest regret was taking a year off in Grade 11.

“Swimming is time-consuming… but the year I took off , Ihated it. I had nothing to do,” she recalled. Speaking as a swimcoach: “When you see kids with the same amount of passionyou had when you started, it makes having no summer worthit.”

Deschenes knows that she’ll have to make some changes inher post-swimming life.

“When you’ve done something for 10 years, it’s hard tobreak the habit. Div. 8 is the end of the line, ‘open’ category,”said Deschenes, “but next summer, I’m staying in Calgary. Ineed to think about getting a job in my fi eld.”

Th at decision will also bring changes for her student of thelast two years, Nicola James, of Dogwood Valley. Th e two arefamily friends and would oft en make the drive together to thetwo or three weekly training sessions.

Ten-year-old James started in Agassiz in 2013 and said herbest event is the 50-backstroke.

“She has a strong kick and natural timing,” said her coach.“Lots of swimmers don’t have the connection between the legsand arms, like Nicola does.”

James went to the provincials last year, swimming the back-stroke leg in the Div. 5 medley relay — competing against girlsaged 13 to 15.

Th is year, she was on the young end of her division and didnot get any qualifying times for the provincials. Her take-awaywas personal improvement, which should help her 2015 sea-son when she’ll be one of the older swimmers in her division.

James notched 14 personal-best times this year and washonoured by her club with a big commemorative ribbon.


Ladies’ Golf Tournament celebrates club’s 50th anniversary

Ernestine FransonContributor

Eighty-one golfers celebrated a special 50-year birthday party of the Hope Golf Club this past weekend.

Each participant in the Hope Ladies’ Golf Tournament was gift ed with an engraved wine glass, ball and marker. Tee box-es were decorated with potted fl owers to add to the festive oc-casion. Th ree players – Margaret Watson, Cheryl Weisner, and Carol Ewald – have attended the tournament for over 30 years and were also honoured.

Although the golf course opened in 1964, the Ladies’ Open did not start until 1975. Th e tournament, originally a one-day event, was started in 1975 by Rena Titmus, who worked for Emil Anderson Construction. Th e two-day tournament began in 1984. It wasn’t until 1987 that the fi rst Hope player, Mary Adams, won the Emil Anderson Construc-tion Trophy for Low Gross.

Hope’s next winner was Ga-briella Kim in 2003. And Kim did not stop there. She contin-ued to win in 2005, 2010, 2011, and 2012.

Hope players fared better winning the Finning Trophy for Low Net, also started in 1975. Katy Westbrook, 1977; Mary Romano,1980; Gladys Ander-son, 1982 and 1989; Marg Dollis, 1985 and 1992; Elaine Marych, 1986; Ernestine Pritchard, 1987; and Colleen Knight, 1999, all shared champion status.

Aft er a full sunny day of golf on Saturday, golfers enjoyed a turkey banquet prepared by chef Kerry Krahn and his staff , then sang and danced to the lively music of Ron Ulrich.

Hope ladies bagged six out of the 26 Net and Gross prizes awarded on Sunday evening.

Gabriella Kim’s winning streak continues. Bob Hasell presented her the Emil Ander-son Trophy for her low gross score of 168.

Th e Finning Canada Trophy

for Overall Low Net went to Hope’s own Dodie Schiefer-meier for her score of 137. Lo-cal winners included Virginia White, fi rst Low Net in the fi rst fl ight; and Pam Smith, second

Low Gross in the fourth fl ight.In the third Low Net division,

Charlene Kelder won in the sec-ond fl ight, Joan Nichols in the third fl ight, and Doreen Harper in the fourth fl ight.
