Local drivers thought their construction woes and delays were over.

But a few days ago, an unex-pected road crew appeared.

Less than two weeks aft er council proudly proclaimed the opening of the new Kawkawa Bridge, crews from FortisBC were tearing up the

road directly in front of it.Th e construction left mo-

torists waiting as single lane traffi c had to be employed to allow work to continue.

“I call it a Paul Newman moment – there was a failure to communicate,” said Hope town manager Earl Rowe as he quoted the movie Cool Hand Luke.

Apparently a miscalculation occurred during the planning

process.Th ey made a mistake,” said

Rowe, who pointed out it was FortisBC’s error, not the dis-trict.

“We had all the utilities come out before hand,” he ex-plained.

But Rowe said something went wrong during the dia-graming process.

“It should have all been set up for the connections to be

made at the side of the road,” said Rowe.

But once the road was complete, the pipes could not be located. As a result, For-tisBC had to dig up Kawkawa Lake Road.

Hope residents had already experienced a month of traffi c delays during the fi nal stages of the new bridge construc-tion and it is “unfortunate”

Local potter singled out for commitment to communityFerguson named ‘arts champion’


When ArtsBC an-nounced its Communi-ty Arts Champions for 2011, nobody was more surprised than Diane Ferguson.

Th e award was only given out to three people – for their contributions to the development and promotion of the arts in their communities – and Ferguson was one of the winners.

“Actually, I was quite shocked,” she said.

Th e local Raku potter has been a member of the Hope Artist’s Guild for 15 years.

In 2005, she became a founding member of the Hope and District Arts Council through which she developed the community arts program, Th e Art Ma-chine. Now the offi ce administrator for the local arts council, Fer-guson has volunteered countless hours to help organize and participate

in events such as Arts and Culture Week, Win-terFest and Concerts in the Park.

When the award announcement was made at a banquet held last month, Ferguson thought they were talk-ing about someone else.

“I heard them say it was a Raku potter and I thought to myself ‘another Raku potter! I wonder who it is, I’d

like to meet them.’”

But once she realized they were talking about her, a diff erent emo-tion hit.

“I was very pleased ... it was most ap-preciated.”

A long-time resident of Hope, she came here in 1974, Ferguson has

always been in-volved with the arts.

In high school she tried her hand at many art forms, painting, fabric art, but pottery was her favou-rite, especially Raku, which

originated in Japan about 400 years ago.

Living in this area has

helped give Ferguson the opportunity to pur-sue her passion.

“Hope is a very artsy community. Th ere are alot of artists and a lot of people who enjoy art.”

And she enjoys work-ing to promote thegrowing arts scene.

“It’s the only job I’veever had that when Iwake up in the morning I don’t go ‘Eww, I don’t want to go to work.’”

News

A display of Diane Ferguson’s art pieces are showcased at the Hope Arts Gallery on Fort Street. Fergusonwas recently honoured by ArtsBC as one of three Community Arts Champions for 2011.

Hope students will get an extra week off at spring break again, as a cost saving measure for School Dis-trict 78.

“We are going to continue with the two week spring break,” said superintendent Dr. Karen Nelson.

“It was a cost saving issue, and also a result of a sur-vey of our students,” she said.

Th e district had put a survey online before making the decision at the May school board meeting in Hope.

Spring break in 2012 will run from March 12 to 23.Th e decision is expected to save the district $61,000,

and is in line with the majority of respondents to thesurvey.

Almost 66 per cent said they still supported going toan alternate school calendar as a money saving initia-tive and 73.5 per cent support the continuation of thelonger spring break. Only seven per cent respondednot in favour of the two-week break.

Th e closest neighbouring community, Chilliwack,recently voted to return back to a one-week springbreak.

OUR PHARMACISTS DISPENSE INFORMATION AS WELL AS MEDICATION With traces of pharmaceu-ticals being detected in our environment (soil

and water), the disposing of unused medication must be seriously considered. Flushing down the toilet is not the way to do it nor is throwing medication into the garbage. Talk to your pharmacist for the most environmentally friendly way to do this. Vaccines have bene ted the citi-zens of the world immensely. Diphtheria has been cut by 100%, mumps by 96%, tetanus by 93%, whooping cough by 92%, hepatitis A by 87%, chickenpox by 85% and acute hepatitis B by 80%. Vac-

cines have proven their worth and continue to do so. Just a quick reminder about the term “SPF” on sunscreen labels. If you have the type of skin that burns in 10 minutes in the sun with no protection, then applying a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 means that you’ll be protected 15 times longer (150 minutes). An SPF of 30 gives protection 30 times as long. There is not much more advantage using sunscreens with SPF of 50 or more. While we are on the subject of sun, some medications can cause a photosensitivity reaction when we

are out in the sun. Our pharmacists are familiar with these interactions and will bring it to your attention with an auxiliary label and in-store counselling if it could affect you. Good communication between our pharmacists and our customers is a cornerstone of our service. Medications can be confusing and it’s our job to make it clear.

Public encouraged to give away unwanted itemsIs it trash or treasure?


Th e Hope Chamber of Commerce is hoping the old saying is true – one man’s trash is another man’s trea-sure.

Th e inaugural Trash To Treasure event is scheduled for Saturday, June 18, throughout the District of Hope, and the public is encouraged to bring out any unwant-ed items for people to look through and perhaps take away.

Unlike the previous spring cleanup events, this is not a district-run program and the items will not be removed at the end of the day. Instead, if someone sees something they like in front of a house, they can just take it with them.

“It’s more like a garage sale, with no money,” said Victor Smith, president of the chamber.

Th e idea is to allow people to get rid of old, unwant-ed items that may be useful to someone else.

Smith called it a “win-win situation” because the old owner gets rid of something without paying dumping fees, and the new owner gets an item for free.

Th e project also works as part of the Communities in Bloom, which is one of the event sponsors.

“Recycling items is part of their mandate,” said Smith.

But it doesn’t just promote recycling. Smith has ad-vertised the event in the surrounding communities, to promote Hope.

“It will get people coming to Hope. It’s good for business. People will be buying coff ee and lunch,” said Smith.

Th e event runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Smith says there are four easy steps to participate.

Gather any items you would like to see removed. Place those items in a visible location at the front of your property so prospective “treasure hunters” can look at them without blocking traffi c.

Place a sign in front of the objects, identifying them as free or trash to treasure items. Th at will prevent any possible misunderstandings.

Finally, and most importantly, at the end of the day homeowners must bring in any items that were not taken.

“I think this is a great idea to make this available to the community,” said Hope Mayor Laurie French. “But I don’t want people to think this is a reinstatement of the spring clean-up.”

“As long as people are diligent in bringing it back in at 4 p.m., I think it will go well,” added French.

But homeowners should beware, if they leave their items out on the street aft er the event, they could fi nd themselves with a ticket.

KATHY KEATS / CONTRIBUTOR

On June 6, a bear was seen roaming the yard of Kathy Keats and Conrad Collier, who live on Mountain Ash Crescent in Hope, a subdivision near Lakeway Market. More bear sighting are being reported to the RCMP.

Th e RCMP is warning Hope residents to be on the look-out for bears.

Two more sightings were report-ed this weekend.

According to Cpl. Tammy Hol-lingsworth, on June 11, a bear was seen roaming a backyard in the Lakeview Crescent area, for approx-imately 10 minutes. Th e next day, another bear was seen in the area of Silver Creek.

“We are assuming it is two diff er-ent bears,” said Hollingsworth.

More sightings are expected as the animals go in search of food to fatten up from a long winter of hi-bernation.

Attracting bears are bird feeders, garbage placed out in plastic bags for disposal and fruit trees.

Anyone who went to the Dis-trict of Hope building on Mon-day night, expecting to attend the bi-weekly council meeting, found the building empty.

Th e session was postponed 24 hours in order to allow staff and council to watch game six of the

While the offi cial postpone-ment announcement didn’t men-tion the NHL contest, Hope May-or Laurie French said the game was to blame.

“It was defi nitely the reason ... I don’t think anyone would have attended the meeting,” he said,adding there are plenty of staff and council members who areCanucks’ fans.

I recently bought a used vehicle. Bitter experience with used cars sold privately led me to make the purchase at an established, reputable dealership, and I’m pleased with the result.

Th e fi rst car I ever bought was a private sale. A young man showed off the old car he had painted himself, while his mother smiled and off ered homemade lemonade. Sold for $600.

Th e choice of drink proved appropriate when the engine clattered to a fi nal halt a week later.

It was then I discovered that the crankcase contained mostly STP Oil Treatment, to conceal

the engine’s true state. At the dealership this spring,

the harmonized sales tax was not a hot topic. Like most goods, new and used vehicles were subject to 12 per cent PST and GST before, and they are subject to 12 per cent HST now.

When I mentioned this in a news report last week, an astute reader in Nanaimo reminded me that it’s not quite that simple. Vehicles, boats and aircraft sold by private individuals are exempt from GST.

Th is was one of the populist concessions the Mulroney government made in an eff ort to placate angry voters 20 years ago. In B.C., prior to July 2010, private sales were subject to seven-per-cent PST only.

During the hubbub over the implementation of the HST in its 2010 budget, the B.C. Liberal government also increased tax on private vehicle sales by fi ve per cent, from seven to 12 per

cent. Th e stated reason was to provide “comparable treatment” for private and commercial sales of used vehicles.

Th is provoked an exchange of partisan accusations that

typically passes for debate in the B.C. legislature. It’s a payoff to car dealers, the NDP screamed. You guys opposed all of our income tax cuts and now you’re pretending to support lower taxes, the B.C. Liberals yelled back.

Out in the real world, one can observe the eff ect of a tax structure that gives an advantage to private sellers.

Municipal governments call them “curbers.” Th ey use their garage, driveway and street to repair and market an endless series of used cars.

Whether they are crooks or not, their eff orts are every bit as appealing to the neighbourhood as the guy with multiple illegal suites whose tenants plug up the parking for the whole block.

In each case, they violate zoning rules and hog services for personal benefi t.

And if you think they pay income or other taxes on their home businesses, I have a 1973 Pinto you might want to test-drive.

Th e subject of used cars came up last week when NDP leader Adrian Dix belatedly launched his own anti-HST tour. Apparently he’s having second thoughts about letting Bill Vander Zalm set NDP tax policy based on a world government conspiracy theory.

Dix’s fi rst media event was staged in a Burnaby kitchen. Th e homeowner dismissed the $350 HST rebate he has been off ered to off set costs such as summer camp for his two kids, saying that will be gone several times over if he buys a used car.

Th is clearly implies that HST has been extended to used cars.

Th is is the sort of claim that drives much of the rage against it, as people simply scan their bills for those hated three letters.

Th ere are signs that people understand their taxes better, however. An Angus Reid poll last week found that 58 per cent of British Columbians now prefer to pay taxes on their consumption rather than their income.

Tax my car, not my income

Bill is a step toward Senate reform

Th ere is some irony that as Liberal MLA John Les introduced a Bill that might lead to the election of Senators in B.C., Prime Minister Stephen Harper was appointing new members to the upper house.

Ironic because it was the Reform Party – precursor to the current Con-servatives – that brought the idea of substantial Senate reform closer to reality than ever before.

It was, in fact, a key part of the Reform platform: A Senate that was equal, elected, and eff ective.

Although that concept of the “Triple E” Senate has since been tempered by political realities (like reopening the constitutional debate), reform re-mains a goal for many politicians.

Of course, what to do with the Senate has been a Canadian pastime for decades. Many, including the opposition NDP see little use for this “house of sober, second thought” and would rather see it abolished.

Other see it as a chance to improve the democratic process in Canada.John Les is one of those.For too long the Canadian Senate has had all the appearance of a private

club, where its promise of lifetime membership was seen as the ultimate reward for party fi delity.

It has been political tradition for the Prime Minister of the day to stock the Senate with selections who were sympathetic to the governing party’s views.

Prime Minster Harper faced that same accusation when he recently ap-pointed three new members to Senate – all Conservative candidates who were defeated in the recent federal election.

Still, there is hope. It is expected that the Conservatives will introduce changes that will give provinces greater say over how candidates for the Senate are chosen.

Th e Private Member’s Bill serves as a step toward reform.

Amidst the threat of further political fragmentation, B.C. is entering a critical period and we the people who pay for everything are seemingly unable to steer the province away from the dangerous waters of politi-cal fragmentation.

A further deterioration could have a negative effect in the broader economical-ly stability of B.C., where regional harmony contin-ues to be undermined by old conflicts perpetuated by the NDP.

So fierce is the political rivalry directed at the gov-ernment by the opposition that the NDP can not set aside their differences long enough to agree on what is best for the people of B.C.

In the absence of a non-partisan approach, and with absolutely no hint of a resolution to the prov-ince’s political deadlock, the NDP’s own democratic credentials are in question while business, after busi-ness professional contra-dict the opposition’s HST

claims.This creates uncertainty,

a bad omen for a province considered a key factor for Canada’s overall the sta-bility, as well, will hinder current and future invest-ments.

This is the question that seems to provoke the most fear for B.C.’s prosper-ity and stability because it could alter, if not reverse, much of the good work that has been accomplished over the last 10 years.

In that time, the country

has gone through bouts of instability, including a pe-riod when the opposition brought down parliament.

Canadians heard the message calling for con-structive dialogue and compromise to resolve po-litical differences, choos-ing stability over conflict, returning Mr. Harper one of the largest majority in Canadian history.

The change proves Cana-da to be a country with two faces. The first face is rapid growth. The other face is

marred by the political and institutional dead-ends and lack of collaboration and consensus that ob-struct proper governance and delay prosperity.

I think B.C.ers see the point and the value brought to our shared prosperity by the government, and see the need to prevent a chain reaction of instability that could undermine yet more by the “weakest links.”

William Perry

Old conflicts could hurt B.C.’s prosperity

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Do you agree with the idea to save pieces of the old

Kawkawa bridge?

Here’s how you responded: Yes 51% No 49%

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:

So the B.C. Liberals will fi nally create a new agency to investigate police. But will it be truly civilian and independent?

Aft er his inquiry into Rob-ert Dziekanski’s death, Th omas Braidwood recommended B.C. create an Independent Investiga-tions Offi ce modelled aft er On-tario’s Special Investigations Unit and answerable to the provincial Ombudsperson.

Braidwood probably knew that it took a lengthy investigation by Ontario’s Ombudsman to keep the SIU from becoming an apolo-gist for the police.

But B.C. isn’t following that recommendation. Instead, the

IIO will answer to the Attorney General, leaving it open to politi-cal interference.

Unlike the SIU example, the IIO director can’t lay criminal charges. Th e IIO can only pres-ent evidence to Crown attorneys, who have been notoriously reluc-tant to charge police.

Without the Ombudsperson’s oversight, the IIO’s transparency is limited to the IIO monitor, who will be able to review its investi-gations. But the IIO monitor will be appointed by the IIO director.

Most disturbingly, B.C.’s Offi ce of the Police Complaint Commis-sioner will oversee the new agen-cy. Th e OPCC is itself a product

of police culture. Except for some very junior employees, it’s staff ed by former police and people very close to the police.

It’s headed by Stan Lowe, a for-mer Crown attorney who took part in the decision to exonerate the four RCMP offi cers involved in Robert Dziekanski’s death.

Now Lowe has authority over the police watchdog agency brought about by that death.

Meanwhile police will contin-ue to investigate police accused of misconduct and “less serious” injuries. Th eir investigations will continue to be reviewed by Lowe and his staff of ex-cops.

Greg Klein

In recent television, radio and print ads the “Smart Tax Alliance of B.C.” tells us that the HST is better for us and for B.C. and going back to the GST/PST combination is bad! Oh, ok ... because you labeled yourself “Smart” that must mean you are smarter than me and the rest of the citizens of British Columbia therefore we really don’t have to think for ourselves.

Th anks “Smart Tax Alliance of B.C.”! You decide what is best for us and we’ll go back to being dumb ‘ol worker drones and constant consumers.

Jeff Leggat

Police shouldn’t be able to judge themselves

Not ‘smart’

I have been a bookkeeper for the past 12 years and the HST is a great thing for my clients. It’s saving them money, which they can use to re-invest in their company or hire employees.

Th e PST-GST double tax was a

nightmare to deal with and lead to many administrative headaches.

Th at’s why I’m voting No to keep the HST.

Poll indicates ‘no’ voters running at 44 per cent

HST gaining supportTom FletcherBlack Press

Th e harmonized sales tax and the referendum on its fate are still wide-ly misunderstood, but support for returning to the old provincial sales tax is declining.

Th at’s the main fi nd-ing of a poll released last Th ursday by Angus Reid Public Opinion.

An online survey of 805 B.C. residents found 44 per cent in-tend to vote “no” in the mail-in referendum that gets underway this month.

A year ago, just before the HST took eff ect, the pollster found 82 per cent wanted to scrap it. Th e latest survey shows a substantial increase in support for the HST since the B.C. govern-ment off ered to cut the rate by two points to 10 per cent over the next three years.

Th e poll also refl ects confusion about the referendum question, which will ask voters if they want to “extin-guish” the HST and re-turn to the federal GST and the former PST at a combined rate of 12 per cent. One out of three respondents incorrect-ly believed that a “no” vote would get rid of

the HST.Opposition to the

HST was stronger among women, young-er people and rural residents. Women were 64 per cent opposed and people aged 18 to 34 were 62 per cent opposed. Residents of Metro Vancouver were evenly divided, while opponents were a clear majority in the Interior, the North and Vancou-ver Island.

One in four respon-dents said they have put off purchases such as a new car or television,

goods that are taxed the same under GST-PST and HST.

Th e political battle over the HST continues as voters begin receiv-ing their ballot pack-ages in the mail.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon now es-timates that killing the HST will cost B.C. $3 billion, including $1.2 billion in lost revenue and the cost to borrow and repay Ottawa’s $1.6 billion transition fund.

NDP leader Adrian Dix has begun a tour to urge people to restore

the PST and GST at 12 per cent, arguing thatthe B.C. Liberal govern-ment can’t be trusted tolower the HST rate.

Th e poll asked peopleabout the credibility of various sources. A ma-jority said they trust small business ownersand academics, while 40 per cent trust Pre-mier Christy Clark and 35 per cent are inclinedto believe Dix.

Th e highest rankedpersonality was former premier and Fight HSTleader Bill Vander Zalm at 47 per cent.

News

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon has turned his neutral information campaigninto a sales pitch for the new, improved HST with a reduced rate.

LOWER TAXES IF HST REMAINS

Last week, the Federal government made it the law to reduce the HST in BC.

The HST will drop from the current 12% to 10% in two stages -- if BC doesn't go back to the 12% GST/PST.

The BC Government asked Ottawa to reduce the HST to reduce the cost to families.

According to an independent report, this will save the average BC family $120 compared to going back to the higher 12% GST/PST.

Since 2001, the BC Government has decreased provincial income taxes by 37%.

Last week we learned BC gained 5,200 jobs in May and that 30,000 more people are working compared to last year at this time.*

Lower taxes and more jobs. It's working for BC.*Employment fi gures courtesy of Statistics Canada

Th e riders that did come out had a great and successful time. Th e morning started with the mail run: Hope’s own pony express.

Riders clipped through a marked trail, picking up mail in the marked boxes and returning them to the postmaster, all under the watchful eye of the timers.

Th e fastest time posted was three minutes and

30 seconds by Denise Pascucci on her horse Nikea.

Second place went to Danielle Taylor, third place to Shelly Taylor and fourth to Muriel

McMullan.Junior rider Emma

Miller, took fi rst in her division.

Th e singles playday had riders performing various tasks on horse-

back, including tapping soccer balls in a hockey net.

First place went to Danielle Taylor and her horse Ciara.

Th e aft ernoon was double fun with riders pairing up to perform a mini drill, a baton race and dress up. Riders had to walk/trot and lope around the ring with an egg in a spoon without dropping it.

First place in the doubles was the mom and daughter team of Danielle (on Ciara) and Shelly Taylor on her horse Joe Cody.

HRC is planning an-other event on Sunday, June 26.

Bowling alley no longer a ‘mossy mess’Corner clean up projectKevin MillsBlack Press

Aft er spending months working on the inside, Hope’s Sunshine Lanes is getting a facelift on the outside.

A two-man crew was in front of the local bowl-ing alley, digging up, cleaning up and resurfac-ing the corner of the lot.

“It used to be a bunch of trees and shrubs, really overgrown, right on the corner,” said Drew Paton of Sunshine Lanes.

Th e foliage caused vi-sion problems for drivers navigating the turn so it was removed. But Paton said that left a mossy mess. Th e plan is to dig out all the vegetation, smooth the land and then put down a layer of gravel.

Th en he intends to cre-

ate a large fl ower pot on the corner to brighten the area up.

Paton wants to get people from the Hope Communities in Bloom to advise him.

He said the work would have taken place long ago, but the unusu-

ally cool and wet weather has delayed the project.

Th e exterior improve-ments are just the next step in an ongoing jour-ney for the local busi-ness.

Since getting involved back in August, Paton has helped the bowling

alley update its lanes, getbetter pin machines, new bowling balls and made renovations to the King-pin Lounge, which hasincreased in size from 45seats to 62.

“We want to bring itback to a family-oriented business...”

Darren Florence

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, honored guests and most of all you, the members of the Class of 2011. I’d like to start out with a little information about each of my classmates.There is R’sson, I remember the time he was checking out Arthur’s potato gun. He thought it was cool until it went off and, popped him right between the eyes. Seriously though… R’sson is the serious one in our class, he worked really hard to get here today, he is a good friend to us all. Tyler has always been the guy we turn to when we need a good laugh. He doesn’t like to see anyone down and is always there to cheer us up, either with a goofy nickname or a funny story. He is always cheerful, outgoing, and one of the best friends a guy could ask for.When David first came to school here he was very quiet and a little shy. He moved away and, when he came back it didn’t take us long to figure out that he was a lot less quiet and, no longer shy. David is always saying things to make people laugh, he is a great friendand, a lot of fun to be around.Chrissy is the quietest one in our class. But, don’t let that fool you, she is also the strongest and hardest working one of all of us. When the rest of us are slacking off and goofing around, yes we do that sometimes, you can always find Chrissy at her desk, with her head down, getting the job done.Trevor, my cousin, my band mate, my best friend, I have probably leaned on him more than anyone in my life. He is the friend that everyone wishes they had. He is always smiling and happy. On the rare occasion that our hallways are quiet, you can all of a sudden hear someone singing, nobody needs to look up to know that it is Trevor out there singing away.In the words of Lil Wayne, “ You know you are at the top when only Heaven is above you.”I hope that you, the Class of 2011 feel this way, because today we are at the top. This the 1st day of the rest of our lives. Up until now, we have had, parents, grandparents, teachers and many other adults by our sides to push us when we stumble and to pick us up when we have fallen. After today we will be made to pick ourselves up and push ourselves to strive for greater things. We will be in charge of our own destiny. No longer can we blame anyone else for our downfalls, what we do with the rest of our lives rests on our shoulders. We have all known each for a long time, some of us will stay in contact, some of us will drift away on different paths but, we will all remember where we came from and all of the people who got us here. The Grad Class of 2011 would like to thank our parents for making us get up in the mornings to come to school and nagging us to do our homework. But most of all for loving us enough to push us to do our best! We would also like to thank the teachers and staff that have put up with us throughout the years. We haven’t always been easy to deal with but, you have never given up on us! You have always pushed us to believe that we would have this day! So, thank you to all that had a hand in getting us here today, we know that we could not have done it without all of you!So, to the Class of 2011, as we go out into the world today, remember this: Today is the beginning, we hold our futures in our hands and they will be what we make them.

HST will be reduced from 12% to 10%.After listening to British Columbians, the government has proposed an HST reduction from 12% to 11% by 2012, then to 10% by 2014. This proposed change will take effect if the province votes to keep the HST in the referendum. If B.C. votes to return to the GST + PST system, the combined rate will remain at 12%.

Transition cheques for families & seniors.Under the proposed change to a 10% HST rate, the average B.C. family will be $120 better off annually than under the old 12% GST + PST system. And to help transition to the lower rate, the government will provide $175 for every child under 18 and every senior with income up to $40,000.

Tea, tours and displays take place June 25 at heritage siteFlower Festival returns to church

Christ Church, the oldest church on B.C.’s mainland, will again be the focus of fl oral arts.

Th e second annual Flower Festival is sched-uled to start on June 25 with tea, tours and displays.

“Guests can enjoy tea, refreshments and guided tours through our decorated heritage church at 1 p.m. or 3 p.m.,” said Joan Sjovold, event organizer.

Th e day will also feature displays and sales by local art vendors from 1-4 p.m.

Th e theme of this year’s fl ower festival is the

natural beauty of Hope – a theme that was in-spired in honour of Christ Church celebrating its 150th anniversary this year.

“Christ Church completed a large renova-tion and exhibit creation projects this past winter; through this process we discovered remarkable quotes in letters and diary entries about the wonder and beauty of Hope’s lo-cation. It is there entries that formed the in-spiration for the fl ower displays. In addition, excerpts from these entries will be on display with their corresponding arrangement,” said Sjovold.

Th e renovation project was funded in part through the National Historic Sites cost shar-ing program.

Th e site will remain decorated for the re-mainder of the week and on Sunday there will be a special Songs of Praise service at 7 p.m. at Christ Church, by donation.

“Th e theme of the second annual Flower Festival was inspired in part by our 150th an-niversary. Hope, in 1859, was thought to be a major transportation hub due to its location and setting. By 1861, when the church was completed, it became obvious that this was no

longer the case as only 20 people and two busi-nesses were left in town!” explained Sjovold.

“But, the church was completed – largely onfaith that a setting such as Hope would onceagain feature prominently on the landscape.”

Tickets for the tour and tea are on sale atPharmasave and Christ Church National His-toric Site. Th e site will be open for tours at aspecial rate until July 1. July 1 will also off erthe vocational sensation Hexaphone fromVictoria – live in concert at Christ Church at7 p.m. Tickets are available at Pharmasave orRomano’s

SportsGolf club experiences big changes

New management has endured bad weather and NHL playoffsBarry StewartHope Standard

It’s a year of big changes at the Hope Golf Club, with a new long-term man-agement and business plan and major renovations at the clubhouse.

All that is needed now is: an end to the hockey playoffs; an end to the infernal rainy weather — and an end to the fl ood-ing on holes 5, 6 and 7.

By the time this story hits the streets, the Canucks will have taken care of the fi rst part... in a happy or sad way. Mean-while, the weather is still staggering along, though the forecast is for a hotter and drier summer — and Fraser River levels peaked last weekend, so the huge water traps have started subsiding.

In April, Kerry and Claudette Krahn took over management of the day-to-day operations of the course and became owner-operators of the banquet room catering and downstairs pro shop and Grill on the Green lounge.

Jim Frith, now in his fourth year as club president, said on Monday, “The Krahns have solid experience and they bring solid management to the course — and they’re great cooks!”

“The Hope Golf Club Society are still the stewards of the course and we are leasing the clubhouse building to the Krahns,” explained Frith. “We’ve sold the other assets to the Krahns, though. They own the tables and the chairs, the golf carts and the lawn machinery. This will put the golf club in a much better fi nancial situation.

“People really like these folks,” said Frith. “The Krahns are in it for the long run and they’ve bought a house in Hope.

“I must point out that this is not a pri-vate golf club. It’s a course for the whole community, even if it’s just for taking a walk along the outer edges,” added the president, who explained that the land is on a 99-year provincial lease for use as a golf course.

The Krahns are avid golfers and they come from a food and event services background.

“Kerry was a chef at the Burnaby Mountain Golf Course and we both worked at the Fraser River Fishing Lodge in Agassiz from 2005 to 2010,” said Claudette on Monday.

“Kerry was the executive chef and I was the gen-eral manager and event planner. We also opened the Oasis Bistro in Agassiz in 2009 and sold it in April this year to move here.

“We had catered a few events at the golf course last year and we got to know some of the member-ship,” said Claudette. “We saw some opportunities

and we presented the club with our vision of what could be done.

“There’s a huge potential for an all-inclusive wedding facility, that is much needed in Hope. With the mountains and the river, you can’t beat it,” she

added.To that end, the couple has already

made big renovations to the interiorof both fl oors of the clubhouse.

“We completely renovated theupstairs,” said Claudette. “We refi n-ished the hardwood fl oor, put in newcarpeting and lighting, took out theold drapes and redid the bar.”

The end result is a bigger andbrighter space, with a bigger seatingcapacity.

Downstairs, the kitchen wasupgraded and the fl oor was replaced.There’s also a new website at hopegolf-club.com/golf/proto/golfhope to tie itall together.

The biggest challenge for the cou-ple so far has been an overabundanceof water.

“The cold, wet spring and losingthree holes for about a month weredefi nitely not cool,” said Claudette.

“March and April were down 65per cent from last year for walk-ongreen fees — and there are usuallyabout 100 annual members and only70 have renewed so far.

“We’ve also had to update a lot ofthe equipment, which is very old, soyou’re always fi xing it,” said Clau-dette.

The height of the breakdownscame just after the renovationswere done – and a water main burstupstairs, overnight.

The change room ceilings andupstairs carpeting had to be redoneagain, assisted by insurance fund-ing.

“Then we got a call from our rentalhouse in Chilliwack and they said awater pipe had burst and I said ‘Ofcourse it did!” said Claudette, with alaugh.

With the spring rains and Fraserfreshet now abating, the Krahns arelooking forward to hot and dry sum-mer to get their feet fi rmly planted.

Upstairs bookings are an encour-aging sign.

“We had 200 people for our Mother’s Day brunch,”said Claudette, “and we started our weekly Sundaybrunch buffet yesterday.

“We’ve also got nine events scheduled for thenext two weeks.”

The Krahns are very appreciative of the contin-ued volunteer efforts of club members, noting thefour work sessions so far for raking and fl ower bedplanting.

Then there’s the generous support of thewomen’s club, which is sponsoring free lessons foryoung golfers for seven weeks this summer.

“The Krahns are in it for the long run and they’ve bought a house in Hope.”

Jim Frith

New operators of the Hope Golf Club, Kerry and Claudette Krahn, have endured the worst spring weather in half a century — followed by a month of flooding on three of the courses’s nine holes. They are looking forward to a long, hot summer.
