Two local 14-year-old males have been arrested in connection with three fi res last Wednesday.

Th e fi rst incident took place at about 6 a.m. on a property across from Memorial Park on Fourth Avenue. Th e fi re started in a garage in between an abandoned house and neighbouring offi ce/residential build-ing. Both structures were destroyed in the fi re, dis-placing a business and a resident living in the up-stairs unit.

Later that morning, an

employee at Hope Arenanotifi ed police that twoplastic bins had been seton fi re outside the rinkand the back door of theCurling Club had beenspray painted. Th e fi remanaged to extinguishitself before causing anyfurther damage.

While fi refi ghters werestill putting out hot spotsunderneath the debris onFourth Avenue, the fi redepartment and RCMPwere called to a third fi reat the corner of Nelsonand Raab streets at about4 p.m. Smoke was seenbillowing from a por-table trailer on the prop-erty when crews arrivedon scene. Firefi ghtersquickly knocked downthe fl ames inside thestructure and containedthe fi re to one unit.

“Before the third fi re,we were already on thetrail of one of the indi-viduals,” said Staff Sgt.Suki Manj. “We believeone of the youth wasinvolved in three of thefi res, and the second wasonly involved in the lastone. Witnesses provideda description of the twoindividuals and we lo-cated and arrested themthat night.”

Police have recom-mended charges of ar-son and mischief for oneyouth, and arson for theother.

We celebrate many birthdays

in December. One that

gets overlooked is Louis

Pasteur, born on December

27 1822. He was a French

bacteriologist who created a

process for sterilizing milk to

kill pathogens that could cause

disease. He also developed a

preventive inoculation against

rabies. This early work on

immunization has saved

millions of lives throughout the

generations.

The human liver is a

wonderful organ. It is the only

organ that has acetaldehyde

dehydrogenase, the enzyme

that breaks down alcohol. It

does this job well at the rate of

one standard drink per hour.

Just a reminder, a standard

drink is 12 oz of beer, 5 oz of

wine or 1.5 oz of spirits.

Had your u shot yet? It’s

not too late. Have your

children inoculated too.

Remember, you can’t catch

the u from the u shot. The

more people who get the u

shot, the less the virus will be

spread.

Coconut water has gotten

much publicity lately. It is

made from the clear water

inside the coconut, not the

coconut esh from which we

get coconut milk. Coconut

water does contain some

potassium (about 200mg per

100ml), is low in sodium and

calories and contains primarily

water which keeps you

hydrated.

Kathleen Alexis has stepped up as acting president of the Hope & District Chamber of Commerce.

She took over the position earlier this month after former president Glen Ogren stepped down for per-sonal reasons.

“There’s some medi-cal issues that I want to get under control, which necessitated me stepping back and tak-ing a less stressful role in the Chamber,” said Ogren, adding that he does plan to remain a board director.

“It’s been challeng-ing at times, but over-all it’s been very re-warding. I appreciate people putting their trust in me over the last couple years to be the voice of the Cham-ber.”

Ogren points out that during his two-

year term the board’s direction has been more business-fo-cused through initia-tives like the Idea Ex-change and business seminars. He’s also been involved with the Chamber website redesign, community branding initiative, bringing the inter-municipal business licence program to Hope, and working on coordinating highway incident management for faster response times to accidents.

Alexis will stay on as acting president un-til the next Chamber AGM and has already identified key areas to focus on.

In addition to orga-nizing events for the new year, she plans to work more closely with the B.C. Cham-ber of Commerce on issues that affect businesses locally and provincewide. Alexis also wants to

have more resources available to Chamber members.

“It is a very excit-ing opportunity to be taking over this posi-tion and I’m looking forward to the growth and development of the Chamber,” she said.

Grads edge out senior MustangsBarry StewartHope Standard

“Even though they beat us, we felt their support.”

When a game can be played with smiles on many faces — and hugs aft er the match is over, you can see the true meaning of sport. Such was the case at the an-nual alumni games, last Tuesday night at Hope Secondary.

Senior girls’ head coach, Jeff Kuhn, said that even though the grads whomped his team soundly, “Th ey were very encouraging to our team. Th e girls had fun and I think we used it as a good learn-ing experience.

“Th is was my fi rst alumni game and it was a lot of fun,” said Kuhn. “We were missing three players who, if they were there, would have made it a bit more competi-tive. Th ere have been a lot of good players come through Hope and when you put them on one team, they are a force to be reckoned with.”

School vice-principal Tammy Nazarchuk and Carmen Mitchell, who were Hope Mustangs in the 1980s, made use of their height advan-tage under the basket and Richelle Willick’s 13 points — and Hannah Sauvé’s 12 helped pace the grads to a 70-26 win.

Morgann Steeves, who recalled being an-nually thrashed by the grads when she was in high school, enjoyed

being on the winning side and contributing 10 points.

“How is it that the adults are so good, when they haven’t played in, like… forever?” won-dered Mustangs point guard Mina Kim.

She can come back as a grad next year and fi nd out.

Th e boys-to-men game followed at 8 p.m. Th e grads are usually pretty confi dent about beating the kids — but the high schoolers pushed back pretty well, not allowing any baskets in the fi rst few minutes and only trailing by 10

at the half. Th e fi nal score was not available by press time, though several people pegged it about a 20-point gap.

Grad of 2006, Kyle Kjemhus said, “It was a lot of fun this year. We had a really positive group of guys and we worked well together. I thought Linden Wil-lock, [cousin] Wilson Willock and Nick Pauls stood out from the pack with their play and sportsmanship.

“I’m really proud of those guys, as I got to coach them a bit and get to know them while they were in high

school. Th ey’ve all be-come great players and even better young men. Th e senior boys put up a good fi ght this year and they were very well-coached.”

Kjemhus’ wife, Tay-lor — also a 2006 grad — said, “It was great to play with so many peo-ple that I know from my years at HSS. Playing with girls that I coached or played with fi ve or six years ago was really neat.

“It was also a lot of fun having Tammy Nazarchuk and Car-men Mitchell out there with us. Th e game was competitive and I was impressed by the senior girls and how well they played together. I’m re-ally looking forward to coming back again next year!

“We both want to say thank you to Becca Arrowsmith who orga-nized this year’s game. She put in a lot of work and the game couldn’t have happened without her,” added Taylor.

Senior boys’ coach, Jake Giles said he was pleased with how his team played.

“I think they felt more comfortable around those guys, as they’ve played against a lot of them in open gym time. We played good, intense ball.”

Giles hopes to see more of the same when the season resumes af-ter the Christmas break, with the boys hosting their Hoopfest on Jan. 10 and 11.

Sports

Hope senior Mustang Phoebe Nickerson tries to slow down alumnus Richelle Willick during the annual alumni game on Tuesday night. Anchored by two players who played for Hope Secondary well before the turn of the century, the grad team showed the high school girls that they can still get it done, with a decisive 70-26 win.

BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD

Alumnus Jay Dongen soars above the block of Brendan Sullivan in the men’s game. The high school boys put up more resistance against the returning men, not allowing any points in the first few minutes and only trailing by 10 at the half, eventually losing by about 20.

Here’s the big idea of 2013

One of Canada’s great entrepre-neurial success stories in recent years is WestJet, the Calgary-based airline that is expanding across the country and taking on European routes.

Clive Beddoe, the founding CEO of Westjet, was famous for helping the cabin crew tidy up the plane before getting off a fl ight. And the company is also known for its profi t-sharing program, with all employees referred to as “owners” who have a stake in the success of the operation.

I thought of this management approach when news emerged that the B.C. government was of-

fering public service unions a new kind of contract, with a fi ve-year term and wage increases tied to improved economic growth.

Th e surprising thing is that unions are accepting the idea, even though provincial growth must exceed the government’s independent economic forecast council projections before it can take eff ect in a given year.

Th e generally non-militant Health Sciences Association was the fi rst to recommend acceptance of a fi ve-year agreement with only 5.5 per cent raises guaranteed. Th en they were joined by negotia-tors for 51,000 health and social services employees, represented by the B.C. Government Employ-ees’ Union and other unions that have long been adversaries of the B.C. Liberals.

John Fryer, negotiator for the BCGEU going back to the epic

battles with Social Credit gov-ernments and now a professor at University of Victoria, wasn’t im-pressed when he heard the news.

“Th ese deals refl ect what hap-pens when public sector unions back the losing party in a provin-cial election,” he said. “Union bar-gaining power takes a trip down the pooper.”

I think there’s more than that going on. Perhaps today’s union leadership is beginning to accept that its wage, benefi t and pension arrangements look pretty good compared to the harsh reality of private businesses competing in a global economy.

I asked Premier Christy Clark if this new approach is inspired by private-sector profi t sharing. She agreed that is the model.

“I think that’s a great principle for all of us to work from,” Clark said. “Until now, the growth of

public sector wages has been com-pletely insulated from changes in the private sector. And this is the fi rst time we’ve ever been able to successfully link those two things. At this point it’s still a small incre-ment wage growth, but it’s a big change, and I hope we can con-tinue to build on it.”

From an employee perspective, it is indeed modest. If real gross domestic product increases one per cent beyond the independent forecast used in the provincial budget, employees get an addi-tional half of one per cent raise for that year.

Contrast this labour relations development with what’s happen-ing on the federal scene. A classic confrontation is brewing between the Harper government and the Public Service Alliance of Cana-da.

A key dispute is over sick days,

which the government estimatesare averaging 18 a year. PSAC cur-rently has 15 “bankable” sick daysa year, which the union presidentrefers to as a “negotiated right.”

It takes me back to my fi rstunion job, where I was warnednever to take just one sick day. Wenegotiated for two at a time, so al-ways take two, the union rep toldme. Implicit in this is the mind-set that employees should give aslittle and take as much as possible.

Looking through my fi les eachDecember for the B.C. story of theyear, I consider what is likely tomatter fi ve or 10 years from now.

Th is partnership approach tobuilding the provincial economyis my pick for 2013.

Kids and booze

’Twas the week before Christmas and the bars, they were hopping, hop-ing to catch patrons who’d fi nished their shopping.

When all of a sudden, what should appear, but B.C. liquor law changes for much cheaper beer.

Old Mrs. Claus — or Premier Chris-ty Clark — said “Happy hours for all, kids in pubs — what a lark!”

Th e chorus was merry, “Common sense!” went the cheer, let’s have an-other round of that much cheaper beer.

And the tots on the bar stools, their eyes all aglow, were sipping their milk with parents in tow.

“A small whiskey chaser with my brew,” Dad did sing, while dear, gentle Mom shouted, “Singapore Sling.”

Th en as soon as the clock sounded the chime, the kids and their parents knew it was time.

Th ey hopped in the Caravan while slipping a fi ver into the hands of their designated driver.

Th en we heard the brood exclaim as they drove out of sight, “Merry Christ-mas to all, and to all a good night!”

2013 Year in Review

Council votes in favour of immediately closing the Hope landfi ll and turning the site into a transfer sta-tion, which is expected to save the district $400,000 a year. Th e decision not only reduces the costs of solid waste management, but also

the environmental impact of the landfi ll.

Area B director Dennis Adamson is under fire for claiming over $28,000 of public funds for travel ex-penses in 2011 without a single receipt or other sup-porting document.

The RCMP Musical Ride is slated to perform two shows during Brigade Days in September. In addition, an RCMP Regimental Ball is also planned during that weekend.

Nine laptops and a pro-jector are stolen from Bos-

ton Bar Elementary Sec-ondary School.

Hope is selected as a new site for the United Way’s Better at Home program, which is designed to keep seniors in their own homes longer by providing simple non-medical support.

MarchHope Cinema under-

goes a $50,000 upgrade to convert to digital projec-tion. Owner Kevin Larson installs a new projector to meet the demands of the movie industry. Th e cinema is now able to “open” new movies sooner because the digital format is easier to distribute to smaller the-atres and allows a variety of media to be shown, includ-ing blu-ray DVDs and vari-ous computer formats.

A Hope woman is in stable condition aft er being hit by a vehicle in the 300 block of Wallace St. Lucille Toy was crossing the street in front of Memorial Park when she was struck.

Th e RCMP’s Upper Fra-ser Valley Regional Detach-ment chooses Inspector Deanne Burleigh as the new Offi cer in Charge.

Hope Wildcats Tommy Hyrnkiw and Kevin Misumi are chosen to play on the midget C scholarship team for Fraser Valley East.

Barrick Gold Corpora-tion’s preliminary analysis shows that an all-season re-sort is a feasible project for the former Giant Mascot nickel mine. Th e company is looking for an alterna-tive use for the land, which is no longer providing eco-nomic benefi t to the Hope area. Biologists continue to do baseline environmental work and research, while engaging with residents and getting feedback from stakeholders.

Manning Park Resort is set to close indefi nitely April 1 due to fi nancial hardship. Th e Bowra Group took over management of the facility from Gibson Pass in 2009 when the resort went into receivership. Despite gen-erating about $5 million in revenue annually, president David Bowra says the resort is no longer profi table. Th e Manning Provincial Park campgrounds will continue to operate along with the Lightning Lake day-use area, trails, and backcoun-try areas. However, the ski areas, lodge, restaurant and pub will shut down.

Mayor Susan Johnstonpresents fi re chief TomDeSorcy with a 25-year ser-vice award certifi cate andmedal from the province.

Canyon Lanes bowlersGord Paquette, Sid Hamblyand Lloyd Forman are head-ing to the B.C. 55+ bowlingchampionships May 15 inCranbrook aft er winningthe zone playdowns inChilliwack.

April About 300 people lose

Twoof the four suspects are ar-rested in the vehicle, whilepolice dog services trackdown the other two. Th eRCMP fi nd cutting tools andcopper wire in the vehicle.

A draft brand for Hope isreleased and defi ned as Be-ing Connected: To Nature.To Community. To Oneself.Background research, com-munity surveys, stakeholderworkshops and one-on-oneconversations played a cru-cial role in shaping the com-munity’s competitive identity.

Emil Anderson crews are busy in Hope at the beginning of March stabilizing the bank below the Centennial Park viewing platform on Water Avenue. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure partnered with the District of Hope, Emil Anderson, and Kris Tasci of Just Fish Inn to repair the eroded bank, which had been barricaded off since last June. The District of Hope and Rotary Club will look after restoring the park’s landscaping to its original state.
