Carolin Mine may

reopen Kerrie-Ann SchoenitThe Standard

A White Rock min-ing company is working towards reopening the Carolin Mine site.

New Carolin Gold Corp. controls approxi-mately 134 square kilo-metres in the Coquihalla Gold Belt, which is host to several past producing underground gold mines including Carolin, Eman-cipation, Pipestem, Ward, Aurum and numerous other gold prospects. Re-cent studies conducted by the company determined the property has the po-tential to host a multi-million ounce deposit.

“With the gold price up, it makes it very attractive,” said president and chief executive offi cer Bruce Downing.

“We already have an ex-isting mine permit, which saves us a lot of time and money. In the world of mining today, that is a huge asset.”

Th e Carolin Mine op-erated from 1981 to 1984, and closed at the end of 1984 due to poor gold re-coveries, low grades due primarily to dilution and low gold prices.

Ongoing logging of the property over the years has made all targeted de-velopment areas readily accessible. Th irty per cent of the previous mill infra-

structure is still in place, including equipment and water. Carolin Mine also has 10 kilometres of sta-ble underground tunnels with no acid rock drain-age.

New Carolin Gold Corp. is currently exam-ining potential mining plans to once again extract gold from the property.

Downing said the com-pany could choose to mine solely underground, operate underground with a small open pit at the surface, or utilize the entire area as an open pit. Th e ore would then be processed on site at the re-built mill to create a gold concentrate, which would either be sold or used to pour doré gold bars.

New Carolin Gold Corp. plans on drilling this summer to confi rm historical data as well as increase gold inventory.

Th e company will also be conducting a prelimi-nary economic assess-ment soon, followed by a comprehensive economic feasibility study to deter-mine the cost of bringing the mine back into pro-duction.

Meanwhile, Downing said a resource study has found 30,000 ounces of gold sitting in a permit-ted tailings pond on the property.

JACKIE’S TIP:

Constable Jackie Remple joined the Hope RCMP in 2008, where she works as a general duty offi cer. She worked in Langley 3 1/2 years before being transferred to the Hope detachment.Jackie facilitated the grow watch program in Hope and was a coordinator for Block Watch. These programs sparked an interest in her becoming a police offi cer, to give back to the community and stop crime.She would like to work with Hope Crime Prevention Society to raise awareness about Internet use and fraud among seniors.Spending time with family, camping and participating in fi tness classes at the rec. centre are some of the activities that Jackie enjoys. She makes her home in Hope.

Don’t wire money to strangers. Always be wary of buyers offering more than your asking price.

Only 55 per cent of gold was recovered from ore during the 1980s when Carolin Mine was in operation. Th e remaining crushed rock was disposed of in the tailings pond.

“We’ve done a preliminary economic assessment and we’re looking at re-processing the gold out of these tailings to give us a cash fl ow,” said Downing, noting the project will hopefully start in 2013.

Th e property’s close prox-imity to Vancouver and read-ily available work force in Hope are also important fac-tors in reopening the mine.

Tyler Mattheis, executive director of AdvantageHOPE, said the positive impact to the community will continue to grow as the project develops.

“Not only will well-paying jobs result from a resurgent local mining sector, but Bruce (Downing) has already dem-onstrated his commitment to local purchasing, positively eff ecting the local economy,” he said. “Th e success of the New Carolin Gold Corp. will be a success for Hope.”

B.C.’s Family Day will take place on the second Monday inFebruary, beginning in 2013.

“Creating a Family Day in B.C. was an im-portant priority for me. Today, my government is following through on that commitment,” saidPremier Christy Clark on Monday. “Havingour own unique day in B.C. creates distinc-tive opportunities forfamilies and local busi-nesses. British Colum-bians will be able to enjoy all kinds of local attractions with fewer lineups and less out-of-town traffic.”

The decision to select the second Monday inFebruary comes aftergovernment consulta-tion with the public and private sectors.

Record numbers of British Columbiansparticipated in onlinediscussions by shar-ing their thoughtsand registering their preference. The webpoll gathered a total of 31,146 selections, along with 3,069 com-ments. The choice of the second Monday had 18,202 votes, while the third Monday re-ceived 9,436.

Flood-Hope Road was closed for several hours RCMP cruiser involved in crash

Kerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

A crash in the Richmond Hill area on Th ursday shut down Flood-Hope Road in both direc-tions for several hours.

Staff Sgt. Suki Manj said a Hope RCMP offi cer was travelling east-bound at about noon when he noticed a driver speeding in the opposite direction. When he went to conduct a U-turn, his cruiser collided with a Ford pickup truck

heading towards S i l v e r C r e e k . M a n j said the prelimi-

nary investigation indicated that the offi cer had his emergency lights on before turning around.

“Our offi cer was doing active patrols in the Richmond Hill area due to recent complaints about speeding in the area,” said Manj.

“If the offi cer is at fault, he’ll be dealt with just like anybody else. Th e positive is that no one was se-riously injured.”

Th e offi cer suff ered a minor concussion and the pickup driver went home with a sore wrist.

Fraser Valley Traffi c Services was called in to investigate the crash.

Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl has announced $316,174 in fund-ing to create 67 summer jobs for area students.

“The Canada Summer Jobs program helps prepare students for the work world by giving them valuable real life experience,” he said.

“It is one way this government is help-ing create jobs and economic opportu-nities.”

Canada Summer Jobs is part of the government’s Youth Employment Strat-egy (YES). With annual funding of more than $300 million, YES helps youth, particularly those facing barriers to em-ployment, obtain career information, develop employment skills, find jobs and stay employed.

Economic Action Plan 2012 allocates an additional $50 million over two years to enhance YES. This funding will focus

on connecting young Canadians with jobs in fields that are in high demand. In addition, the federal government per-manently increased the annual budget for Canada Summer Jobs by $10 million in 2011.

“The experience gained by students today will make for a more produc-tive workforce tomorrow and a more prosperous Canada for everyone,” said Strahl.

Recently, the media have been reporting about taking some blood pressure medications at night rather than in the morning. Sometimes, if the medication is taken at night, the blood pressure may drop too low causing falls during a trip to the bathroom. This is something to be discussed with your doctor and pharmacist.

Poison ivy: This skin problem is caused by brushing up against the plant which contains urushiol, an oily resin that causes painful itchy rashes of the exposed skin. Urushiol is found on the stem, leaves, and skin of the fruit of the plant. You can’t catch poison ivy

from another person. You have to touch the resin. Treatment includes washing the area with cold water. Our pharmacists can help.

Shingles is a painful, blistering rash caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. There is a vaccine for those that have this virus in their system due to child-hood exposure to chickenpox. Its rate of effectiveness is 55%...pretty good odds to prevent the pain and discomfort of shingles. See your doctor about this.

Breastfeeding is good for the baby and the mother. Human breast milk contains over 300

ingredients. These include white blood cells, interferon, antibacterial and antiviral agents. Breast milk is good for the baby’s developing immune system.

Taking medications while breastfeeding can be worrisome to new mothers. Our pharmacists will be happy to advise you about what’s safe and what isn’t.

Celebrating Boston Bar May DayHundreds of people turned out

to celebrate the 85th annual Bos-ton Bar May Day on Saturday.

Residents enjoyed a bigger parade this year along with the crowning of the new May Queen, traditional May Pole dance, kids activities and live entertainment.

“We were really pleased to have gorgeous weather for Saturday,” said event organizing committee member Patricia Davison.

“A lot of former residents come back to enjoy the day. It’s an op-portunity to thank members of the community who work really hard, not just for May Day but throughout the year. In a small town, you have a small pool of volunteers. It’s really important to recognize them.”

About 20 volunteers started working in February to organize the event.

With ongoing pipeline and oil tanker skirmishes, and a hot summer for mining and logging still to come, the green war in B.C. shows no signs of slowing down.

Things are already hot in the Fraser Valley, where the federal government’s change to the defi -nition of fi sh habitat has opened a new front on the farms.

Farmers briefl y got into the public discussion by hauling a couple of cute calves into downtown Vancouver and stag-ing a television-friendly demo in front of the federal fi sheries offi ce. They have been saying for decades that imposing salmon stream regulations on drainage ditches around their fi elds is impractical.

Fraser Valley Conservative MPs Randy Kamp and Mark Strahl even had the nerve to meet with local mayors to hear their concerns about B.C.’s most productive farmland, without inviting self-appointed “activ-ists.”

Arrayed against them is an environmental lobby whose deep green wing was defi ned by Mar-vin Rosenau, a former provincial biologist who now teaches “fi sh, wildlife and recreation technol-ogy” at BCIT.

“Mark Strahl is leading the charge of eco-fascists intent on making the last dime off the backs of the last remnants of an absolutely spectacular ecosystem,” Rosenau told the Chilliwack Progress. “A massive and productive fl oodplain of fi sh and aquatic values … has been drained, ditched, tiled and laser-leveled for agricultural profi t.”

The same could be said for the broad fi elds of Richmond and Pitt Polder farms north of

the Fraser, a wetland diked and drained by Dutch settlers after Second World War. Farms are “industrializing the landscape,” said Rosenau, who stopped short of calling for them all to be shut down.

At the provincial level we have a new Animal Health Act, which threatens heavy fi nes or even

jail time for prematurely leak-ing reports of serious animal disease outbreaks. This was also portrayed as a jack-booted sellout of the public’s right to know, putting the business interests of land and ocean farms ahead of public safety.

Here’s what’s really happen-ing. As is generally the case with meat inspection and livestock

issues, the federal government is imposing rules on provinces in the wake of avian fl u and “mad cow” outbreaks. Canadian beef was banned in 30 countries after a single infected cow was identi-fi ed in Alberta in 2003.

B.C. Agriculture Minister Don McRae assures me this legisla-tion will not result in reporters or environmental activists being thrown in jail for telling the public about sick animals. They and the farmers themselves can say all they want, once infections are confi rmed and quarantines established.

McRae and Paul Kitching, B.C.’s chief veterinarian, pleaded for the public to understand that any farm reporting system must rely on voluntary compliance by farmers.

When the B.C. government took the advice of B.C. Informa-tion and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham and began releasing fi sh farm inspection data in 2010, the operators

stopped providing samples voluntarily. The fi sh farmers’ position was that you can have a co-operative system of farm inspections or one that’s imposed, but not both.

Imposing inspections on land farms across B.C.’s vast area is even less practical. Former Alberta premier Ralph Klein famously observed that the next rancher to fi nd a possible mad cow should have “shot, shoveled and shut up” rather than fi le a report and devastate the indus-try.

Denham, the NDP and oth-ers appear to operate under an assumption that there should be suffi cient government resources to sample and inspect every farm across B.C. for reportable conta-gious illnesses. This is similar to the fashionable notion that we should have enough park rangersto guard every cedar tree.

Tom Fletcher is a legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press

Scenes from the B.C. farm trenches

More bad opticsThere has been much outrage over the RCMP decision to

ship a Mountie who abused his position as head of a poly-graph unit in Edmonton to B.C.

Don Ray exposed himself, had sex with subordinates, and kept a well-stocked liquor cabinet in his crime lab.

His punishment for all of this was to be demoted to ser-geant from staff-sergeant, lose 10 days pay and come to B.C.

From a public relations perspective, it was like spraying a wasp nest with insect repellent — in the middle of the day.

The B.C. public is extremely cynical about the RCMP (as an organization) right now. This is the result of a number of incidents.

The most notable ones are the widespread perception that some men within the RCMP systematically harass female members and civilian workers; the Tasering death of a confused man at the Vancouver Airport; a Mountie who left the scene of a fatal accident and fortified himself with vodka; and the shooting death of an unarmed pris-oner at the Houston police detachment.

Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens, who has taken over as the top Mountie in B.C., says things will change – but this transfer tells people that things aren’t changing. Com-ing on the heels of renewal of the RCMP contract in B.C. for a 20-year period, it’s too much for many.

The vast majority of Mounties are upright, honest people whose devotion to the force’s goal “to serve and protect” is obvious, and appreciated.

It would be hard to believe that most of them aren’t as dis-gusted with the decision in regard to Ray as the rest of us.

It’s even harder to imagine that the RCMP brass who made the decision didn’t see the terrible public optics.

In response to recent media cover-age regarding military suicides and the government’s proposed medical services cutbacks, the Royal Cana-dian Legion’s BC/Yukon Command is fi ghting fore public recognition of the importance of intervention for our military serving members suffering from mental trauma and PTSD.

For years the Legion has been fi lling the gap where services for veterans are lacking. We know fi rst-hand how hard it is for veterans and their families trying to cope with mental issues resulting from military service.

There is no question that the fed-eral government provides certain

levels of benefits and programs. However, these only go so far and the need is far greater than we are made to believe. The Legion is directly working with veterans to transition them back to health and back into the community.

In the absence of a tailored, responsive, and comprehensive continuum of care for our return-ing military, the Legion in BC/Yukon has been making a power-ful, practical difference by offering one-of-a-kind programs with life-changing impacts.

Veterans Transition Program (with UBC) for veterans suffering post-traumatic stress

Military Skills Conversion

Program (with BCIT) for veterans re-entering the marketplace

Cockrell House for homeless veterans

The Legion does not receive any government funding for these programs. These three programs are made possible by virtue of our ongoing fundraising. In 153 commu-nities throughout British Columbia and Yukon, Legion volunteers con-tribute over 600,000 hours a year. More and more of those service hours are no focused on engaging the new generation of veterans and trying to help them transition back to their families.

Legionnaires and Ladies Auxil-iaries know fi rsthand that military

families bear more than their fair share of the load when one of their own serves in the Canadian military. We fundraise, we reach out and we provide a second family of support for them. Many of our members are not military related themselves, but they are with us because they care.

The Legion is speaking up for those who have served this coun-try with honour when we say they should get more services, not less. The cost to society will be borne by us all for years to come.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Are you participating in Bike to Work Week?

Here’s how you responded: Yes 20% No 80%

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:

It has come to the attention of the Hope Mountain Black Bear Committee that in the last couple of weeks a few black bears have been spotted trying to get their paws on hum-mingbird feeders.

Most people don’t think of bears when they hang their hummingbird feeders in front of a window, where they are easy to reach for refi ll-ing and provide a good view of the colorful little birds.

What people don’t realize is that they have just hung a sweet treat for the bears.

A bear will do anything to get to a humming-bird feeder, including climbing your patio fur-niture, your barbecue or anything else in reach of the feeder, maybe destroying it while doing so.

Think about planting some flowers and shrubs to attract the hummingbirds the natural way. They love red fl owers like bee balm, col-umbine, honey suckle, trumpet vine and many more.

Consider taking your hummingbird feeders down or making sure that they are not acces-

sible to bears.Remember, they are bear attractants just like

the regular bird feeders and anybody can be fi ned for “attracting” dangerous wildlife.

If the community works together to keep their properties bear attractant free, it will be safer for kids to play outside and also safer for the bears.

Re: Premier bitten by pest problem, B.C. Views (May 23)

I enjoyed Tom Fletcher’s column on the hys-terical reactions to any chemical use.

With regard to Roundup, this compound is a very specifi c inhibitor of an enzyme unique to photosynthesis. Therefore it affects only photosynthesizing organisms, typically green plants.

It has even gone through phase one clinical trials (which test safety for humans) because there was some idea that it might help with arthritis. No such luck.

In other words, you could drink the stuffwith no ill effect.

When Oak Bay council proposed banning all“pesticides” including Roundup, I wrote thempointing out these facts.

To no avail; they just went along with theherd, and copied the type of ban that Saanichhas.

Well, keep up the good work of speakingtruth to ignorance. It might eventually help.

Hydro rate hike trimmed Tom FletcherBlack Press

Despite controversial private power contracts and approval of two pricy dam refi ts, BC Hydro’s rate increase will be only 1.44 per cent next year.

Energy Minister Rich Coleman said the B.C. government is in-structing the B.C. Utilities Commis-sion (BCUC) to limit rate increases to a total of 17 per cent for the three-year period ending April 1, 2014.

With rates up 7.1 per cent since April of this year and last year’s eight-per-cent hike, the 1.44 per cent increase for next year is to meet a political commitment made by Coleman and Premier Christy Clark last year to reduce planned rate increases by half.

Th e smallest rate increase in years is to take eff ect April 1, 2013, just weeks before the next provincial election. And the latest government instruction means a BCUC pub-

lic hearing on the latest rates won’t proceed.

Coleman said in an interview the directed increase was not done for election purposes, but because it was the simplest way to proceed. A “negotiated settlement” with major ratepayer groups means a BCUC hearing that could run for months isn’t necessary, he said.

NDP energy critic John Horgan said the government’s move is the latest in a series of political interven-tions into BC Hydro policy. It forced the utility to buy private power on expensive long-term contracts, it imposed the smart meter program and moved ahead on the Site C dam on the Peace River, all without re-view by the BCUC to see if they are in the best interests of ratepayers, he said.

“Th is is a Crown corporation, the envy of North America, and these guys have run it into the ditch,” Hor-gan said.

Coleman launched a review of

BC Hydro last year, aft er Clark spoke out against the prospect of a50 per cent increase in hydro ratesexpected over fi ve years.

Th e review by deputy ministers said reducing BC Hydro staff andin-house engineering, along with other cost-saving measures, wouldmeet the government’s target of keeping annual rate increases below four per cent.

But the BCUC’s rate hearingspushed the increase for the current year up to 7.1 per cent, to increaserepayment of debt that has beenstacked up in recent years.

Auditor General John Doyle is-sued a report last year that said thegovernment was taking annualdividends from BC Hydro that werenot justifi ed by its earnings, and the utility was increasing deferred debtas a result.

Coleman announced last Tuesday that the province was able to reachits rate goal by forgoing $75 million in dividends over three years.

Pipeline twinning project pared downJeff NagelBlack Press

Kinder Morgan has pared down the size of its Trans Mountain pipeline twinning proj-ect, slightly reducing the number of oil tankers that would be expected to load up in Burnaby if the controversial expan-sion is approved.

Th e $4.1-billion pipe-line expansion would now increase capac-ity from the current 300,000 barrels per day to 750,000 – down from a previous estimate of 850,000.

About 400,000 to 450,000 barrels per day, much of it diluted heavy crude from Alberta’s oil sands, would be allocat-ed for export via tanker, according to Kinder Morgan spokesman An-drew Galarnyk.

He said that translates into about 300 oil tank-ers a year calling on the Westridge Marine Ter-minal on Burrard Inlet, compared to 32 last year and a record of 69 in 2010.

“We previously in-

dicated roughly 25 to 30 tankers per month,” Galarnyk said. “We’re probably going to be at the low end of that range now – probably 25.”

He said the tanker estimates assume con-tinued use of existing Aframax size tankers, not larger Suezmax tankers that hold up to one million barrels, but which would require Port Metro Vancouver dredging the Second Narrows.

“Our project is going to stand alone on the current types of vessels that are calling on our facility.”

Th e project has been downsized because some shippers that would use the twinned pipeline failed to get the approval of their boards to sign binding contracts with Kinder Morgan.

Th e pipeline project would open up much more access for Cana-dian crude oil to reach

new markets in Asia.Kinder Morgan ex-

pects to launch com-munity consultations in the weeks ahead, which would precede a for-mal project application to the National Energy Board at least 18 months from now.

Th e company aims to begin construction in 2016 and open the new line in 2017.

Trans Mountain’s right-of-way runs from northern Alberta southwest through B.C. and runs through the Lower Mainland, pass-ing through Chilliwack and northern stretches of Abbotsford, Langley and Surrey before cross-ing the Fraser River and passing through Co-quitlam and Burnaby.

Th e plan is opposed by city councils in Burnaby and Vancouver, as well as various environmen-tal groups.

Th e Trans Mountain project is in addition to Enbridge’s proposed $5.5-billion Northern Gateway pipeline, which would carry oil on an all-new route across northern B.C. to Kiti-mat and then overseas via tanker.

News

Kinder Morgan now estimates about 300 tankers per year will load in Burnaby after downsizing its pipeline expansion plan. It has previously suggested 300 to 360 tankers would be expected after the twinned line opens in 2017.

The weather has definitely improved so this is a nice time to take those evening strolls around town. Head out around dusk and don’t forget your tripod. It would be a great time to try out some of those night shots. You don’t have to wait until it is completely dark, just long enough to have the street lights on and the sky with some blue remaining. You can get some fantastic reflections off of still water out at places like Thacker Marsh or at a lake. As it gets darker you will be using longer exposures. Set up on Wallace Street and capture how the street is lit by store fronts and the lamp standard. A cool effect is to use a very long exposure and have a friend walk through the frame. Their image will be ghostly and blurred. If the sky is clear you can use even longer exposures and photograph the star field moving over town. Those shots can be very dramatic. Another challenge is to photograph lights reflecting off of moving water like the Coquihalla river that’s even more dramatic.

The main thing is to get out there and have fun with your camera.

Cooper’s Foods wins Rotary barrel raceDespite unusually

high water levels, the 2012 Rotary River Run Regatta did not break any records on Sun-day.

The turbulent and log-filled river ap-peared to intimidate several of the barrels immediately after be-ing launched at Hell’s Gate.

They huddled in the relative safety of back currents around the

fish ladders, waiting for the rapids to calm down a bit before mak-ing their move.

Several brave bob-bers did charge out into the foaming wa-ter, making their way downstream to what looked like a quick race to the finish line in Yale.

However, Lady Franklin Rock held back many competitors in the early afternoon.

Finally at 3:30 p.m., the Cooper’s Foods barrel, sporting a Campbell’s Soup look alike paint job, pulled free and made the dash to the finish line, completing the race in just under 3.5 hours.

The rest of the pack seemed destined to remain stuck behind the rock all night, but the Hope Towing bar-rel came to the rescue, pulling out the Hope

Drive-In barrel along with it. Hope Towing crossed the finish line in 5:54:05, followed by Hope Drive-in at 5:54:10. This ended up being one of the clos-est races for second and third place in race history.

In addition to taking the 2012 Rotary River Run Regatta title of fastest barrel, the Coo-per’s Foods entry was also a crowd favorite, winning Most likely to Succeed and tying for first place with Joe’s Restaurant for Best Decorated barrel.

MNP’s “Beancoun-ter” won the Least Likely To Succeed cat-egory, while the Bos-ton Bar Kal Tire “Mr. Grumpy” barrel was awarded the coveted Crowd Pleaser prize.

There were 34 spon-sored barrels partici-pating in this year’s race.

All proceeds from the event will go to-wards Hope Rotary Club projects.

Royal spring concert Jennifer FeinbergBlack Press

The spring concert by the Chilli-wack Metropolitan Orchestra and Metropolitan Youth Orchestra at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre promis-es to be one of regal celebration and due pomp.

The final concert of the CMO sea-son on June 1 will spotlight tributes to the Diamond Jubilee of her Maj-esty Queen Elizabeth 2, with light overtures and marches conducive for a splendid spring concert, says Maestro Johan Louwersheimer.

“It’s going to be fantastic,” he says. “The kids are really enjoying it.”

The program will lean toward the style of the Proms, the hugely popu-lar music festivals held in London every year. “Proms” in this sense comes from “promenade concerts,” which harken back to a glorious time when classical music was per-formed outdoors by live orchestras, and later in the Royal Albert Hall.

They’ll perform Pomp and Cir-cumstance, of course and the majes-

tic Fireworks by Handel.Beethoven rounds out the program

and the CMYO will be performing some of the young musicians’ fa-vourites. The Peer Gynt Suite with its Morning Mood highlighting the flute and the Hall of the Mountain King with its contrasting emphasis on the low strings is pure pleasure.

The fourth successful season of the Orchestra is coming to a close, and it’s been one of growth and in-novation for the organization, says Louwersheimer. The youth orches-tra has had a busy performance schedule, and when in combination with the entire orchestra there are over 100 musicians on stage. Senior members of the CMYO joined with the Handel Society and under the baton of Maestro Louwersheimer performed Messiah for a full house in White Rock.

Tickets to the spring concert at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on June 1 are $25 or $15 for students. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. Contact the centre box office at 604-391-SHOW for more details.

DEB ROMANO / THE STANDARDAbout 125 people took part in Fraser Canyon Hospice Society’s seventh annual Hike for Hospice on Sunday. Brodie Scalise and 10-year-old Sophie McGraw were the first two participants to finish the five-kilometre route. Entertainment in Memorial Park during registration was provided by McGraw and Hope Community Choir. The event raised approximately $6,200 for hospice programs in the area.

Hike for Hospice

Fraser Valley Regional Library has added over 5,000 bilingual chil-dren’s picture books to its collec-tion.

The addition of these materials was made possible by a $10,000 do-nation from the Joint Diversity and Training Trust of the United Food & Commercial Workers Local 1518 and Overwaitea Foods Group.

The Fraser Valley and Metro Van-couver have a culturally diverse and multilingual population. The area is home to nearly 80 per cent of BC’s recent immigrants and since 2005, B.C. has welcomed over 35,000 chil-

dren without official language abil-ity.

Bilingual books present stories in both English and another language along with illustrations that support vocabulary learning in an entertain-ing way.

“FVRL strives to offer a com-prehensive collection of materi-als in many world languages,” said FVRL chief executive officer Rob O’Brennan.

“The donation to FVRL ... will help both English-speaking and English-learning children and fam-ilies realize their true potential.”

A new exhibit at Hope Arts Gallery will feature the fresh and lively styles of local artist Jacquiline Coughlin.

Interested in different artistic medi-ums, Coughlin owned a small ceramic shop in Boston Bar and was a partner in a Chilliwack bead store for about 10 years. Now that she’s retired, Coughlin has more time to travel and create dif-ferent landscapes.

“I’ve just recently taken up paint-ing and it has become a passion,” she said.

“I started with watercolors and I am

trying my hand (brush) at acrylics. I am mainly self-taught, but have taken workshops from various artists so I am learning more all the time.”

Pics ‘n Paints will also showcase the work of Coughlin’s daughter Angela, who is a photographer from Abbots-ford.

The back room exhibit runs June 1-28 at the Hope Arts Gallery. An art-ists reception will be held on June 2 from 7-9 p.m.

The Hope Arts Gallery is located at 349 Fort St. Jacquiline Coughlin teams up with her daughter Angela for a new exhibit called Pic ‘n Paints.

SportsHope athletes keep track and

field season aliveBarry StewartHope Standard

It’s been a slow spring for high school sports, due to the protracted teachers’ dis-pute — but a small group Hope Second-ary students are keeping the track and fi eld season alive, with aft er-school practices and plans to attend two or three community meets in June.

Jason Fisher, who has been coaching ath-letics at the school since he came to Hope in 2006, is an acting vice-principal this year and is thus not aff ected by union obligations.

“It fl uctuates, but we’ve had as many as 15 kids this year who have come out for prac-tices,” said Fisher on Monday. “We’ve actu-ally had a decent number of Grade 8s and a number of Grade 11s, with a good mix of males and females.

“Th e throwing events, in general, are what most of them have gravitated to, especially the javelin, discus and hammer throw. We also have a pole-vaulter, Jeremiah Steberl. His brother Matt (grad of 2010) got started on it when he was in Grade 10 and Jeremi-ah’s in Grade 8, so I’ve got him going a few years earlier.

“It’s been a pretty diffi cult year, though, “ said Fisher, “because we didn’t have school meets to attend” due to down-valley schools shutting down their programs.

“I made an executive decision and didn’t register our school with B.C. School Sports.”

Because they weren’t registered, the stu-dents weren’t able to take part in the regional Fraser Valley meet, which is usually a pre-requisite for getting to the B.C. high school track and fi eld championships, which run this weekend at Swangard Stadium in Burn-aby.

“Th e Fraser Valley championships were way down this year,” added Fisher. “Th ey capped it at 600 participants due to the lack of manpower to run it.”

Looking at the meet results, public schools were largely absent, or minimally represent-ed — leaving the fi eld wide open for the in-dependent, faith-based schools.

Fisher consulted the bcsscctfa.bc.ca site

and saw a similar pattern going into the pro-vincial fi nals.

“I see Alberni Valley is only sendingtwo athletes — and they usually have a bigteam,” he said. “Lots of these look like pri-vate schools. I see Chilliwack Secondary issending one and G.W. Graham is only send-ing fi ve. It’s usually twice that many for G.W.Graham. It’s kind of sad, really.

“Oak Bay is sending 45, though — whichis huge. Th ey’re a powerhouse and they’lllikely do well.”

Larger communities have track and fi eldclubs that are independent of schools, off er-ing coaching for youth and adult members.Many put on track meets during the year andFisher is looking at taking the Hope team toa few of these.

“Th e fi rst one is on June 9 and 10 in Co-quitlam, the Jesse Bent Memorial,” said Fish-er. “It’s at the Coquitlam Oval [Percy PerryStadium] and they got a brand new track lastyear. It’s beautiful... probably the best in B.C.right now. Th e throwing areas were redone,as well.

“Th e second meet is in Langley, fromJune 15 to 17 — and we’re still consideringthe Kelowna meet on the last weekend inJune,” said the coach. “I haven’t been therein a while but it used to be one of the biggestmeets in B.C.”

* * * *Walkers who have been taking part in the

“Walk to Alaska” program at the local reccentre can turn around and start walkingback, says program leader Kim Richardson.

Th e group of about 20 step-counters com-bined their eff orts to walk the equivalent dis-tance of Hope, B.C. to Point Hope, Alaska.

“It was about eight million steps, in all,”says Richardson. “It took about seven weeksbut we’re homeward bound now.”

Th ere are no joiners allowed at this point,so it’s up to the group to get everyone homesafely... hopefully before the end of August,when a new virtual-walk will be gettingready.

“We’ll be heading south to Mexico in thefall,” says Richardson, “and we’ll have morepedometers by then.”

Team plans on attending several community meets in June

Grade 8 javelinist Justin Dolan launches his missile during last Thursday’s practice at Hope Secondary School. Coach Jason Fisher plans to take a small team of athletes to community invi-tational track and field meets in June.
