A much anticipated and con-troversial debate, regarding the request of additional funding for reparations, necessary, to make the Station House functional on the most basic of levels as a tourist in-formation centre and museum en-sued at an adhoc meeting, prior to regular council on Monday night.

“We do have money in unallo-cated capital for 2015, and coun-cil would be able to use that, if it

so desires,” said John Fortoloczky, CAO, for the District of Hope on the request from AdvantageHOPE, which was given to council mem-bers on Monday, May 11th.

Considerable deliberation con-cerning the credibility of the Station House Steering Committee fi ndings and other possible uses for unallo-cated community funds, were voiced by attendees and opposing council, which ware subsequently heard and considered, as council moved to grant an additional $86,000 to the original $115,000 the District of Hope had

entertained for the project at its on-set. Opposition, strongly voiced con-cerns over a fi scal amount that was estimated at a rough $436,000 tosub-stantially complete the building, out-lined in the initial report of the three priority phases of the project, as stated by AdvantageHOPE, which cited the structural needs — all the way down to wants and desires, as well as poten-tial confl icting bids in Hope for fur-ther grant monies from the province, such as the BC150 grant. It was then discerned by AdvantageHOPE that for the cost of $200,000, the building

could be up and running at a bare bones level, without the comprehen-sive makeover that would involve up-ward of half a million dollars. Th e use of volunteer labour, which was a huge component to off set cost in the initial report was seen as subjective by some council members, as well as some of the public, in terms of liability and the actual reality of creating a sound structure, inherent to the skills facili-tated by professional engineers and contractors alike.

Safely Keep InsectsOff Your VegetablesGarden expert, Jack Eden has a time-tested substitute for insecticides to keep your vegetables free of bugs. Catch them off guard by using an old-fashioned rose duster fi lled with fl our.

Local nurseries usually carry inexpensive, heavy duty plastic versions of this old-time tool. Fill the duster with ordinary kitchen fl our and then dust the vegetable plants in the morning when they are wet with dew. If there’ s no dew, hose down the plants for about 15 seconds.

Because the plants are wet, the fl our adheres to leaves, stems and stalks, almost like glue, creating a gooey traffi c jam on the plants and stopping bugs from moving and eating. Bugs are usually dead within the hour.

If it’s raining, don’t dust. Insects go into hiding when it rains, so nothing is lost by not dusting as normal.

Apprentices required for public constructionNews

Tom FletcherBlack Press

It’s not a fi rm quota, but construction unions have won a commitment from the B.C. government to require apprentices to be hired for public projects worth more than $15 million.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond announced the new requirement Tuesday, and it takes eff ect July 1. Construction fi rms bidding on major projects such as schools, hospi-tals, roads or bridges will have to include their plans to hire apprentices.

Construction unions have pushed for the change, arguing that a lack of appren-tices on public jobs is an obvious gap in the government’s skills training plan. B.C. Building Trades executive director Tom Sigurdson said he is pleased with the agreement, and will give it a year to work before deciding if it goes far enough.

Bond said the coming year could see as many as 15 major projects that would qualify.

She agreed with Sigurdson that many apprentices don’t complete their training because they can’t fi nd a job placement between stints in trade school.

Bond said subcontracts worth $500,000 or more, with a focus on one of the 57 Red Seal trades, will also re-quire an apprenticeship component. In her discussions with employers, she said they are looking to increase ap-prenticeships as baby boom trades peo-ple begin to retire in large numbers.

Houle Electric president Robert Lashin said the government has struck the right balance. “By having a policy like this, gov-ernment is setting a standard but is not be-ing prescriptive,” he said.

NDP jobs critic Shane Simpson said his party has called for apprentice opportuni-ties on publicly funded projects for years, but the government needs to go further.

“In the public service, including munici-palities, schools, universities, health care, there are only 300 apprentices in the whole

province, and about half of them are with BC Hydro,” Simpson said.

B.C. Federation of Labour president Irene Lanzinger said “aspirational goals are not enough,” and the province should require one of four employees on major projects be apprentices.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond and Tom Sigurdson of the B.C. Building Trades announce deal on public construc-tion at the B.C. legislature Tuesday, May 26th.

TOM FLETCHER/ BLACK PRESS

It was later discussed that a professional could donate the use of their skilled labour, which would qualify under the heading of volunteerism, to complete structural demands.

“We feel that inspite of the fact that there have been more extensive repairs identified then we first anticipated, and with the current information that we have — we still feel that pre-serving the Station house is possible and financially feasible,” said Tammy Shields, project manager from AdvantageHOPE.

Though several issues had been distinguished for the building, Ms. Shields stated from her ini-tial report that there were solutions to all of them.

“We say financially feasible, because the total cost of the repairs, plus the cost of the functional modifications is still well below the market value of both the Visitor Centre site and the Station House site.

The investment that the District would be making of $200,000 would potentially end up back in the hands of the District — the value of both venues together, as opposed to separately would be higher,” she said.

After careful consideration and a final motion to move on the requested $200,000, an outcry of public support and clapping from the audience erupted.

One gentlemen stated that he thought the building, which he compared to that of an Alfred Hitchcock movie would never see the light of day in his lifetime.

“I think everyone should think about how proud we’re going to be when people go by and see it,” he said.

Another member of the audience spoke genu-inely to the efforts of council and staff, as well as acknowledging the people of Hope as a commu-nity that bans together to get things done.

“I want to congratulate the momentum of volunteers, and volunteerism in Hope — that energy is priceless and what you’re doing by saying yes to these types of projects is nurtur-ing that,” she said.

After further accolades, Mayor Wilfried Vicktor imparted a final parting comment to the jubiliant room.

“I think sometimes, politically doing something is less risky than doing nothing — we will be moving forward as a com-munity together.” he said. “Over time the nay sayers will co-meon board as they see the progress of this project.

Conquering Bike Park promises to be a Hope legacy

News


On the back of Mon-day’s council meeting, which saw the District move to grant Hope’s Coquihalla River Com-munity Park project an additional $80,000, af-ter a presentation given by project coordinator Stephanie Hooker; Nestle Waters Canada, publicly announced on Tuesday, May 26th, a donation of $40,000 to the ambitious project, and an additional $10,000 was donated by Valley Helicopters.

Th e exceptional work of everyone involved has helped the project to over-achieve itself into a func-tional completion date of June 20th, with the hard work and dedication of bike park contractor Jay Hoots and his entire crew, which includes a host of down-to-earth and kid approachable professional riders, along with the out-pouring of volunteer el-bow grease.

“Th e guys are all pros, and they always made a point of making time for the kids,” said Hooker, on the spirit of teammwork happen-ing down at the Park.

Nestle Waters’ generous contri-bution will help in the construc-tion of the phenomenal mountain bike skills park. Th e colossal bike park will be one of the largest ever constructed in the Lower Main-land and is home to a fi erce attrac-tion, Logzilla, which is currently

the longest log ride in southern B.C.

“We are a very proud member of the Hope business community,” said Kevin Th orburn, plant man-ager for Hope, Nestle Waters Can-ada, in a press release statement. “Coquihalla River Community Park is a signifi cant local recre-ation feature that off ers a range of recreational activities for all ages.”

Kids from Hope are already rid-ing at an intermediate-advancedlevel according to Hooker, and theextraordinary bike park, whichsits in the middle of a lush greenforest setting, angles it to be one ofthe most beautiful of its kind — ri-valling, and surpassing its metro-politan counterparts in size, scaleand ambience.

Wilfried Vicktor (left,) followed by Kevin Thorburn and John Fortoloczky; on the right, Stephanie Hooker and Debbie Moore, embark on a tour at the Bike Park on Tuesday, May 26th.

News“Th e stakeholder group

and the District of Hope are extremely grateful for the support demonstrated by Nestle Waters Canada,” said Wilfried Vicktor, mayor for the District of Hope. “Over the years, Nestle Waters has been an excellent corporate citizen and this is just one more example of the company’s outstanding track record of giving back to the com-munity, where it operates its business.”

A walking tour over-seen by Hooker, accom-panied by Nestle Waters and the District of Hope, illustrated the level of pro-fessionalism and care that was involved from the conception of this project and is ongoing in the construction of a landmark icon that promises to be a majestic addition for the community of Hope.

“Th is project will leave a legacy in our community that will con-

tinue for years to come,” said John Fortoloczky, CAO, for the District of Hope.

“According to early develop-ment indicators, our young people are more than twice as vulnerable

as other children across the prov-ince in areas of social and physical health. Early recreational experi-ences like what is being provided at this park, will thelp them to de-velop important life skills.”

Too many seniors are going into residential care when they could still be accommodated in assisted living, due to rules that are “outdated and too restrictive,” B.C. Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie says in a new report.

The report found a 10-per-cent vacancy rate for assisted living facili-ties, meaning space is usually available, at least in urban areas.

It calls for a “fundamental redesign” of regulations for registered as-sisted living, to change spousal eligibility and reduce the number of higher functioning seniors moving to residential care.

More than 90 per cent of B.C. seniors live independently and 80 per cent are homeowners, who should be able to apply for a provincial loan against equity to pay for repairs, the report recommends.

“A new roof or the need to fix a dilapidated deck may be a cost that forces a senior out of a house they have loved for decades,” Mackenzie said. “Living in a house that is worth $500,000 or even a million dollars does not mean much if you’re living alone on $24,000 or less, which is the median income of seniors in B.C., and you can’t find the cash to pay the bills.”

Health Minister Terry Lake said he supports the direction of Mack-enzie’s 18 recommendations, and the ministry is working on assisted living changes.

Some recommendations, such as providing private rooms with en-suite bath for residential care beds, have “wide-reaching implications for health authorities” and require more study, Lake said.

Subsidized assisted living is based on 70 per cent of the resident’s net income, with a minimum of $325 left to the resident.

Mackenzie recommends that minimum should increase to $500 to allow more low-income seniors to use assisted living rather than go-ing directly to residential care, where more costs are covered by the province.

A survey of B.C. seniors finds 20 per cent are renters, with one in five of those receiving a rental subsidy. Average rents range from a high of $1,038 in Vancouver to $547 in Quesnel, and the report finds that for remote and rural communities, the biggest challenge is not cost but the availability of suitable housing.

Black Press

NDP leader John Horgan re-members working with Alberta premier-elect Rachel Notley when she was a lawyer working for then-attorney general Uj-jal Dosanjh, and he was a senior staffer in the NDP government in the 1990s.

Horgan said Wednesday he's "ecstatic" at the upset victory of the Alberta NDP, toppling the Progressive Conservative dynas-ty that ruled for 44 years.

And he predicts that sea change in the politics of western Canada will benefit federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair this year and his

party in 2017."I've known Rachel for

some time," Horgan said. "She is as genuine as she looks. She is as compe-tent as she sounds. I think that's good news for Can-

ada."The effect of of Alberta's first-

ever NDP government remains to be seen, with the province in a sharp downturn due to low oil prices.

Notley's promises include rais-ing the minimum wage to $15 an hour and increasing corporate taxes at a time when the oil and gas industry is laying people off.

Horgan remains noncommittal about the proposed twinning of the TransMountain oil pipeline from northern Alberta to a ship-ping terminal at Burnaby.

Notley has expressed support for that proj-ect, while opposing the Northern Gateway pro-posal to deliver Alberta heavy oil to Kitimat.

B.C. Energy Minis-ter Bill Bennett said he doesn't expect any change in relations be-tween the two provinc-es.

He shrugged off the Alberta vote, saying he mostly watched the Cal-gary Flames defeat Ana-heim in the Stanley Cup playoffs Tuesday night.

"It took 44 years to elect an NDP govern-ment in Alberta," Ben-nett quipped. "We've got 30 years left."

I just don't understand how it has come to be that the Hope mayor and council is so ready to accept cash offers from Kinder Morgan, before Canadians have even said yes or no to this project.

In Langley mayor and council have refused this money to date, some citizens even calling it a "bribe."

The Kinder Morgan website notes that Hope will be "compensated for the disruption" during pipeline con-struction.

I have been coming to Hope for 50 years for business and pleasure. The sport and First Nations fisheries are and always will be more economically important than the

local valley pipeline industry. In fact, the proposed new pipe is not for Canadians

at all, but is a Texas company supplying China with tar sands bitumen.

As a businessman and as an enjoyer of the outdoors of the North Thompson, I can see only negative economic benefits coming from this tar sands pipeline.

This is because tar sands bitumen is the worst pollut-ing of all oils, and would coat the Fraser River gravel and sloughs for thousands of miles, and as we know from the Alaska and the Kalamazoo spills, this oil would be un-recoverable and would kill the river for a generation or

more.There have been many spills on the Trans Mountain

David EllisRoving bookseller to the small towns of B.C.

I am writing this letter to highlight a public announcement that was printed in the Th ursday, May 7th issue of Th e Hope Standard.

Th e readers of the newspapers of the Fraser Valley, may have missed this an-nouncement, and I also passed over it a couple times before it caught my attention. In the wake of the apparent celebration of Avetias Recycling plant being denied a space on the banks of our Fraser River, I fi nd it incredibly ironic that this subtle public announcement slips in a quiet ad-mission of willfully fi lling our water sys-tem with poison.

Th e “Development Of A Pest Manage-ment Plan” or “PNP # 794-003-15/20” states that there will be an intensive and rigorous application of herbicides over massive areas of local forest stretching from Maple Ridge to Boston Bar. At least eight chemical names were mentioned, as well as the proposed methods, including stem injection and aerial spraying. Some chemicals include: Siloxylated Polyether

“Sylgard 309”, Garlon RTU, R e l e a s e MSO, and Weed-Master “ G l y p h o s -phate.) I un-

derstand that this “pest control” plan is designed to protect the for-profi t timber supply, which is certainly an important piece of the B.C. economy, but I wonder if anyone is just as deeply concerned about the eff ects of dumping fi ve years worth of poison into our local eco-system, top soil and groundwater? I also understand that those who have been keeping an eye on forestry know that massive spraying is nothing new.

I’m not a biologist, but I'm sure it doesn’t take a scientist to conclude that this long term introduction of herbicides is not good for the natural habitat and food-chain, not to mention the overall environmental equity that humans benefi t from. (clean air, water and soil.)

Perhaps someone can tell me: do the forests belong to the people of British Co-lumbia, or do they belong to Timber Com-panies?

I live in Chilliwack and I am concerned for the health of my children and my fu-ture grandchildren. Aft er all, water fl ows downhill, (along with other substances) and as all of the run-off from our local mountains make their way into our aqui-fers, reservoirs, rivers and lakes, — it will now certainly have to go through these toxic forests!

My questions to local governments are:

“What can be done to critique and prevent such a practice without defaulting to the tired and stereotypical environmentalism verses industry argument?”

And, what can municipal and provincial government do to protect and assure us of public safety in the communities involved in this massive herbicide application?

It is a very crucial time in the history of Canada.

Our post-industrialization and global trade has left us reeling from the conse-quences of our exploitative mass produc-tion/mass-consumption patterns, utilizing both synthetic and natural resources.

We bio-manipulate and harvest stuff from the earth, as if there is an endless supply.

We build factories, products and fi nan-cial empires, as if endless progress, endless wealth, is attainable. Many voices engage in shouting matches at all levels of debate, from tree hugging environmentalists, to purebred capitalists.

My hope is that men and women of real discernment will recognize the time of transition we are in as a developed nation, and make the right choice for the sustain-ability and longevity that factors into pub-lic health and human happiness.

Darrell Lahay

Bio-manipulation of the post-industrial era a threat

It’s no surprise that par-ents with young children hold more than half of all of Canada’s household debt. From parental leave and daycare to sports and school supplies, the costs of raising a child don’t stop adding up. House prices alone have surged ahead of income, and are now about eight times the average pre-tax income of a full-time worker.With increased fi nan-cial pressures and rising costs, we need to ask if the support the federal government provides to parents is enough. Th e answer is no. Th e cur-rent system is a jumble of four programs with diff erent criteria: some are taxable, some are not; some help all kids, some don’t; some disappear if you lose your job; some favour the wealthy. No parent has the time to fi g-ure out the complicated system while raising their

kids. Th e Liberal Party of Canada has a plan to bring back fairness: the Canada Child Benefi t. By rolling all these funds to-gether, topping them up with money saved from eliminating waste, and then targeting lower and middle income families, it would provide a lot more help per child ev-ery month, completely tax-free, to nine out of ten Canadian families. Th e lowest income families would get $6400 a year for a child under six, and $5400 for a child over six. Th e benefi t would be re-duced gradually as family incomes become larger.

Th e current system gives money to those who need it least.

We can do more for those who really need help by helping those who truly need it. Th at’s a fairer system.

Tandori house opens in HopeCommunity


Balwinder Atwal started his journey 16 years ago, when he arrived in Hope with his wife Jasvir and his family from Punjab India.

“I like Hope, and that is why I wanted to bring something of my culture here,” he said of his scrumptiously delightful new venture.

After working for the Dynamex bank, as a courier, the Punjab owner of the Atwal Pizza and Tandori House and father of three (Misha, Simran and Arsh) is all smiles, as he shows The Hope Standard around his modern, polished, and expansive restaurant.

Envisioning a flavourful oasis, where patrons can come and try age-old reci-pes from India, which include all kinds of pizza recipes and the much desired traditional Indian dishes of home — think curry, tandori, naan bread and yogurt sauces, Balwinder’s vision of creating an extraordinary piece of his-tory in Hope has come to life.

One is transported to a foreign world of spice, culture and panache, as the uplifting ambience, promises to inspire and satisfy the customer with an excep-tional dining experience.

Th e interior is fresh and the kitchen is a visual feast with state-of-the-art cook-ery, appliances and a traditional element thrown into the mix with various touches from India. Piles of fresh spices, ingredi-ents, and produce line the massive island in the centre of his masterpiece — where all

the magic happens with his two endearing chefs Raja and Jas Pal.

A walk-in freezer is his pride and joy, as we embark on a tour, which was comfort-ing given the heat of the day. Th e organized freezer, boasts the fi nest of meats and veg-etables.

Th e authentic cuisine is spicy, cooked in traditional punjab style, and delights the palate with all kinds of spicy fl avours from mild to hot, depending on the tastebud threshold of the customer.

He handed Th e Standard a fresh bag of

Veg Pakora, large enough to feed staff andtheir entire families, which was an absolutedelight, aft er inviting all of us for lunch,during the grand opening and to meet hisfamily, who will be running the businessalongside him.

Take-out is available for pick up and seat-ing for in-house dining will be ready in thenext three to four weeks. Misha Balwinderwill be seeking potential candidates for a re-ceptionist, and a delivery driver aft er June16th. Interested parties are urged to sendresumes to [email protected].

Raja (left) and Jas Pal prepare a traditional dish known as Veg Pakora. Atwal Pizza and Tandori had its grand opening on Friday, May 22nd to the delight of Indian cuisine lovers in Hope.

“I can” counselling program comes to HopeViolence stops at HATS

Community


The Hope and Area Transition Society has created a stopping the violence counselling program called “I can” empowerment for wom-en, which is a spin-off of their stopping the vio-lence program.

A presentation is scheduled to be given by Program Facilita-tor Maureen Hickey to women who are inter-ested in learning more about the counselling opportunities, provided by the new program at HATS on Thursday, June 4th.

“My mascot is based on the little engine that could,” she told The Hope Standard. It’s about having the right approach and attitude about life, according to the counselling expert from Cultus Lake.

The program offers support to women who are experiencing, or have experienced some type of abuse (emotion-al, physical and/or sexu-al) during, or chronical-ly throughout their lives.

After surviving a trou-bled childhood that was marked by abuse, Maureen, re-alized by reaching out to others that she was not alone with her internal struggles of poor self-esteem, self-acceptance and feelings of self-worth.

It was in her passion to help others, and to reconcile a pain-fully challenging history that she decided to move forward and pursue a Bachelor’s in Child and Youth Care, followed by a Masters in Psychology from UBC.

Her initial desire to work with children on a fundamental level and to reach them early on to help build those self-esteem blocks, quickly urged her for-ward to continue studies in psy-chology with the dream of help-ing others.

Maureen seeks to reach the moms out there through her work, as they primarily have the most influence over the de-velopment of young children. When a strong infrastructure of support is in place for moth-er’s — that will automatically trickle down to her children, according to the accomplished psychologist.

“If the mom is strong and em-powered — she will pass that on to her children,” said Hickey on her advice toward healthy child rearing. “It’s a about a healthy support system, if that’s in place, you naturally do better.”

A self-descriptive guru of groups, Maureen advocates a

sharing environment with oth-ers to help facilitate the heal-ing process and to learn coping mechanisms for certain behav-iours associated with individual issues.

“I want people to feel safe and to know that they’re not alone,” she said.

Maureen’s goal is to foster a space that women can come to and be encouraged. If a person or child, whether it be parental or spousal abuse, is continuous-ly berated on a physical or emo-tional level, it can start to en-force the notion that the child/person is bad, and they start to develop their self image based on that mirror.

“It’s about separating those feelings, and traumas from the identity of the person.” she said.

The “I can” empowerment group is all about finding the tools and resources to move for-ward in a strong way — women empowering women to heal, find their voices and acknowl-edge that they have a right to be heard and valued, which can be a difficult concept for some to grasp, especially if childhood patterns were installed during those tough formative years.

“People say get over it, but it’s a process,” she said.

It’s an open door policy, free of charge, in a non-judgmental environment and sponsored by the Ministry of Justice, which means any woman 19 years of

age or above can access the ser-vice, unless they are a teenager who meets the mature (adult lifestyle) requirements of the program.

“People can come when they want and leave when they’re ready.”

It’s about changing behav-iours and imparting the idea of consequences to actions, as op-posed to self-imposed punish-ment, of “I’m a bad person be-cause I behaved this way,” which enforces a negative self-image.

“It’s about figuring out how to make those changes, based on outcomes, which helps emo-power the individual,” said Maureen.

An opportunity to meet Mau-reen, the new STV counsellor and to hear more about the indi-vidual and new group programs offered by HATS, takes place from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at their location, Unit H-895 3rd Avenue. A light lunch will be included. The presentation will involve a DVD “It’s not like I hit her,” which touches on the topic of psychological and emotional abuse and a formal discussion, incorporating mandates such as acceptance, safety and support.

For more information about the program, or to register, please contact Maureen at 604-869-5111 ext 226. The “I can” program will officially be start-ing on Thursday, June 11th from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The “I can” empowerment program is a new pilot women’s group counselling opportunity that offers free services to women in Hope.

Hope Secondary Student wins BronzeSports

Barry StewartHope Standard

Provincial podium fi n-ishes have been a dream for track and fi eld coach Jason Fisher, ever since he came to Hope Secondary in 2006. Now he has one.

Jarek Inancsi, a grade 11 student in his second year with the team, won third place in the provincial se-nior decathlon at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford last weekend. (Th e multi-event provincials are run as a separate competition from the regular track and fi eld provincials, due to time and space constraints.)

Fellow grade 11 class-mate, Jeremiah Steberl placed a close fourth in the ten-discipline event, which tests an athlete’s mettle in ten running, throwing, jumping and vaulting skills.

“Th ere were only seven boys entered this year,” said coach Fisher, who special-ized in decathlon when he was a student “but this is the best provincial result for a Hope athlete since I’ve been here. As far as I know, this is the fi rst-ever track and fi eld medal from Hope.” Inancsi placed fi ft h in shot put in the junior provincials last year and did most of his training in the other events on the HSS fi eld, which lacks a pole vault pit.

“I went in as many events as I could at the Chilliwack district meets and I com-peted in the shot and the 100 and 200 meter sprints at the Upper Fraser Val-leys,” said Inancsi on Mon-day. At the provincial event, which ran on Friday and Saturday, Inancsi equaled his personal best to win the shot put, with a 10.56m toss of a 6-kilo shot.

“I had never high jumped at a meet before — but I came third in that, with a 1.64 meter jump,” he added. “I think I got 2.5 meters in the pole vault, where I was third. Jeremiah was fi rst.

“Long jump went pretty well, too. I think I was third there, with 4.6 meters,” said

Inancsi, whose main sportis hockey, where he playsdefence. “Th e 1500 meter,though I’m not much of adistance runner and I fi n-ished last.”

Placings in each event— and the personal mea-surements or times — aretotaled, to give the overallstandings.“Th e top twowere grade twelves,” saidInancsi, “so next year, I’mhoping to win.”

Steberl will there to pushhim, though Steberl hashis own motivations. He,along with Tansie Pauls(senior girls discus) andMarcus Aubin (junior boysdiscus) will be competingin single events at the pro-vincials at Langley in earlyJune.

Steberl placed secondin pole vault at the juniorprovincials last year andplaced second at the FraserValleys, to qualify for thesenior provincials this year.

“My personal best is 3.1meters, set at qualifi cationsfor provincials in Abby,”said Steberl on Monday. “Iam taking this opportunityat provincials to observeand learm — that and seta new PB. My goal is tobreak the school recordof 3.2 meters, set by mybrother, Matthew.

“I’ve been vaulting sincegrade 8, when Mr. Fisherstarted me out with aneight-foot-long PVC pipe,just practicing the tech-nique in the sand pit,” re-called Steberl. “Mr. Fisherhas invested a lot of histime in teaching me whatI know.”

Coach Fisher said 18athletes from grade 7 to 12competed for the schoolthis year. He said AutumnPerry White was the fi rst-ever Hope girl to competeprovincially in the heptath-lon, placing fi ft eenth at theevent last weekend.Inancsi(senior shot put) andJordan Gauthier (juniorhammer) have a chanceof qualifying for the pro-vincials through an “openzone” option. Th ey willhear about their chances bythis weekend, said Fisher.

Jarek Inancsi, a grade 11 student in his second year with team with the HSS track and field, won third place in the provincial senior decathlon at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford last weekend.

Thursday, May 28, 2015, Hope Standard A17

Terry-Lynne Bowcott lost her brave battle with cancer on May 14, 2015 with her loving husband, Michael and her family by her side. She was 58 years old.

Terry-Lynne was born in Chilliwack BC to Albin and Melvina Stromquist.

She was a big sister to Dwain and Diana, and as her dad was in the logging industry the family lived in Laidlaw, Alaska, Zeballos, Campbell River, and Hope BC. Terry-Lynne, after graduation from Hope Senior Secondary, worked at various businesses in Hope and then made her way to Ontario for a short time, returning to Hope to give birth to her daughter Angela Dawn. She then met the love of her life Michael and they were married in Honolulu Hawaii March 24 1979. Daughter Leanne Nicole arrived to complete the family unit, until granddaughter Nicole Lynne was born one Christmas day and mom wasn’t able to care for her, grandma stepped in and went from being an empty-nester to a grandparent/parent again and loved every minute of it.

With Terry-Lynne, everything was family, from her huge circle of friends to her equally huge extended family, the Stromquist clan, and family took precedence. If you were a friend, you were family and vice versa.

After working in local service businesses in Hope, bartending, bookkeeping and waiting at the Hope Hotel (where she met Michael) waitressing at Smitty’s and Rolly’s she eventually acquired certifi cation in Floral Design. Terry-Lynne then worked at the Flower Patch and subsequently opened her own shop - Flower Cottage until her health wouldn’t allow her to continue as a fl orist. During that career her kids would bring home strays, other kids who needed her love and care, and Terry-Lynne began her other career as a Foster-mom, it was this career that she became so passionate about and would move heaven and earth to ensure that those who were put in her care were shown love, understanding, and stability for however long they were in her care and beyond. This ability was recognized by all the people she worked with and Terry-Lynne became a reliable resource for coaching other Foster Parents. This also led Terry-Lynne to be included on various boards and committees in the community, as she had an ability to fi nd solutions to complex issues regarding delivery of services . She was very proud of her inclusion as a Board member for Hope Community Services until the end. Terry-Lynne was also a Legion Executive member, and worked diligently on the refurbishment of the lounge and brought the poker club to a new home there. Poker was her passion and one could fi nd Terry-Lynne playing at home with friends, on the computer, watching TV tournaments, and competing at the Legion and occasionally at the curling rink with the Lions. She also loved to make the jaunt down across the border with her girlfriends to Reno and later just down to Nooksak with cousins Cheryl and Frank for the seafood brunch. Terry-Lynne also loved to travel to Mexico and Hawaii and some of her fondest memories are the vacations in Mexico with Grace & Mike, Randy & Diane, Mom & sister Diana and above all husband, Michael.

A Celebration of Terry-Lynne’s life will be held at the RC Legion, Hope Br. 228 on Sunday, June 14th, 2015, at 2:00 p.m.
