C.E. Barry staff and students have been moved to different schools for the remainder of the year.

The Fraser-Cascade school board made the decision yesterday after teachers refused to enter the build-ing on Tuesday due to seismic safety concerns. Students were sent home as there wasn’t enough administrators to provide supervision.

“We understand that these moves will create disruption at this time year,” superintendent Karen Nelson said in a letter to parents. “Student safety is of prime importance to the board of education and we appreciate your un-derstanding during this time.”

As of today (Thursday), Grade 5s

will be moved to Coquihalla elemen-tary, Grade 6s bused to Silver Creek elementary, and Grade 7s relocated to Hope secondary. Regular bus students will continue to use the same buses as always in the morning and will then be dropped off at their new schools.

The school district is currently considering the closure of C.E. Barry due to the cost of required seismic mitigation. Administration provided an overview of the building’s status and options for its future at a public consultation meeting on Monday at the rec centre. On May 12, 2012, the government announced $122 million of new capital funding to carry out structural upgrades for 14 school with high seismic risk. C.E. Barry was iden-tified as a vulnerable structure at high risk of widespread damage or struc-

tural collapse, likely not reparable after a major seismic event. As the process progressed, the ministry of education directed the school board to focus on seismic upgrades to ensure safety, not school renewal, and pursue the lowest cost option.

Engineering consultants were hired to produce a seismic project identi-fication report for C.E. Barry, with solutions for structural upgrades to address life safety. The detailed cost estimate for the work came in at $4 million. The district is now looking at a number of options, however an addition to Coquihalla elementary appears to be the most-effective. The provincial government has said it will fund four new classrooms there to ac-commodate students if C.E. Barry is closed. The closure is projected to save

the district $200,000 annually in op-erating costs, which could be used forstudent programming or additionalrecreational facilities.

Parents, teachers and students ex-pressed their concerns over the pos-sible closure of C.E. Barry at the openhouse and urged the district to fightfor their school. Many left feeling disil-lusioned about the outcome and wor-ried about the building’s safety.

“As far as I’m concerned, there’s stillan option to have the board pay forsome of the seismic upgrade and saveour school and the board has said ‘noit’s not going to happen,” said Grade5 teacher Donna Kneller on Tuesdaymorning, who is also the health andsafety staff representative at the school.

Teachers vote for full-scale strikeJeff NagelBlack Press

B.C. teachers have voted in fa-vour of a full walkout to put max-imum pressure on the provincial government, but their union did not immediately move to issue 72-hour strike notice.

Th e result of the vote, conduct-ed Monday and Tuesday, was 86 per cent in favour, or 28,809 out of 33,387 ballots cast.

B.C. Teachers Federation pres-ident Jim Iker called it a “very strong message” to the province.

“So far this government has come to the table empty-handed, it’s time to change that,” Iker said Tuesday night.

He said while teachers are pre-pared to go to a full-scale strike that’s “a decision we never take lightly” and would depend on how talks proceed with the pro-vincial government.

“You’ve got to remain hope-ful that government has learned from the past mistakes they’ve made,” Iker said, who referred to the union’s legal battle with the province over class size and com-position and “the government’s chaotic lockout.”

Th e earliest a full-scale strike could begin is Monday and with no strike notice issued as of press time it appeared the strike start could shift to next Tuesday or later. A full strike would close

elementary and middle schools – parents will be advised to make child care arrangements if neces-sary – while secondary schools would be open only to conduct exams for Grade 10 to 12 stu-dents. Th e lack of $50-a-day strike pay – the BCTF’s strike fund was expected to be exhaust-ed at the end of this week – was apparently a non-issue for most teachers.

Sooke Teachers Association president Ian Johnston said the strike vote was held mainly to increase pressure on the govern-ment.

“It’s more the signal it sends to government; how strong is our resolve. Th at’s really what it’s all about,” he said.

Th e Labour Relations Board was to hear arguments Wednes-day on the province’s application to declare exams and fi nal grades an essential service in the event of a full strike.

Th e province has also pledged to end its partial lockout of teach-ers at the end of the school year to enable summer school op-erations. Th e government has saved $12 million in salaries in each week of the teachers’ rotat-ing strike, plus nearly $5 million more by cutting wage 10 per cent based on lockout-restricted teaching hours. Education Min-ister Peter Fassbender said the result was not unexpected.

“While the BCTF leader-ship received the mandate they

sought, no one should interpretthis as any kind of enthusiasm onthe part of teachers to shut downschools,” he said.

He said teachers, parents andstudents would all rather fi nishthe school year on a positive note,adding it took just fi ve days ofhard bargaining to secure a newcontract for school support staff .

Th e province has off ered a$1,200 signing bonus if teachersaccept its proposal of 7.25 percent in wage increases over sixyears by June 30.

Th e BCTF’s latest proposal isfor increases totaling 9.75 percent over four years, plus cost-of-living adjustments in each yeartied to infl ation.

Th e two sides have diff eringestimates of the compoundedgrand total of the union’s wagedemand – the BCTF estimates itat 12.75 per cent over four years,while BCPSEA pegs it at 14.7 percent and says other non-wagecompensation costs will furtherincrease the bill, perhaps beyond19 per cent.

“Th e BCTF leadership needsto come to the table with realisticexpectations and a willingness toengage in meaningful bargain-ing,” Fassbender said. “Teach-ers deserve a raise but their to-tal compensation demands areabout four times more than otherrecent settlements.”

How’s your sunscreen supply? The shelf life for standard sunscreen products is three years but if it has been exposed to high heat during last summer, it may not be up to potency. It’s good to replace it with some fresh product. Choose one with an SPF of at least 30 and labelled broad spectrum to protect against both UVA and UVB rays

One of the best anti-aging things you can do for your skin is not to overexpose it to sunlight especially during the middle hours of hot summer days. Use

sunscreen lotion and clothing to protect your skin from the aging effects of sunlight.

Those with lung conditions like asthma often use inhalers to help open the airways. These devices work well but only if the medication gets deep into the lungs. So proper technique is important. Metered-dose inhalers must be shaken well then breathed in slowly and deeply when the inhaler is pressed. By breathing in continuously minimizes the amount of medication that hits the back of the throat.

The other type of inhaler is the dry powder inhaler where the force of the patient’s breath moves the medication into the lungs. This type of inhaler comes as single-use or multi-use types. Remember, proper use of these inhalers is important otherwise the medication will not work ef ciently.

If you feel you aren’t getting the most from your inhalers, see our pharmacists for advice. We’d be happy to check your technique and help you use them correctly.

“Teachers and support staff discussed it and decided we would seek reference from WorkSafe B.C. Of course we’re always concerned about the safety of the students, that’s first and foremost, but work safe has stated they are concerned about the safety of the employees.”

Teachers waited outside the school on Tuesday morning for guidance from WorkSafe B.C. while administration scrambled to contact parents for student pickup.

Frances Berthiaume, C.E. Barry Parent Adviso-ry Council secretary, was on the phone with her son while he waited for a ride. She said it “was complete bedlam” in the background.

“There were parents yelling, parents cleaning out their kids lockers, parents coming and get-ting their kids and students were all emotional,” she said. “I don’t think there’s immediate danger and I don’t think other parents feel that either. I think students would have been OK to finish out the last two weeks. The timing could have been better. To throw this into the mix, I think it was a last straw for a lot of people.”

Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness said the government is committed to a seismic up-grade at C.E. Barry school if that’s what the com-munity wants. However, funding would still need to be negotiated. He also cautioned that it might not be the best option for Hope given the current enrolment challenges.

“With its plan to close the school, the board’s trying to make its best use of tax dollars and the ministry supports and prefers that,” said Thron-ess, adding that the school board hasn’t submit-ted a seismic upgrade project proposal to the ministry. “It doesn’t make a lot of economic sense to keep and maintain a lot of empty classrooms. The government supports what the school board is doing and the direction of the school board right now.”

Another open house regarding C.E. Barry school will take place in the Hope rec centre con-ference room on Saturday (June 14) from 9-11 a.m.

Trustees will then consider the short term and long term options and determine what steps need to be taken next at the board meeting on June 17 at Kent elementary. If the board decides on an ad-dition to Coquihalla elementary, building will be undertaken in the next eight to 12 months.

Hit and run in downtown HopeHope RCMP are looking

for witnesses to a hit and run on Saturday at about 7 p.m.

A cyclist was riding north-bound on 7th Avenue on the right side of the right hand lane. Just before reaching Park Street, the cyclist was

hit from behind by a passing truck and suffered minor in-juries.

“As he looked up after being hit, he saw a large white truck drive away from the scene,” said Const. Tracy Wolbeck. “This could have resulted in

more serious injuries and we are asking for the public’s help in identifying the vehicle responsible.”

Early reports indicate that the white truck also had a black canopy on the back. It is also possible that the vehicle

would have minor damage to the front passenger side bum-per.

Anyone with any informa-tion is asked to contact the Hope RCMP at 604-869-7750 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS).

BigFoot ski resort director fined $2 million for fraud Th e project director of a pro-

posed ski resort in the area has been fi ned $2 million by the B.C. Securities Commission.

In a ruling released last Fri-day, the commission said Ronald Stephen McHaffi e fraudulently enticed 30 people to invest in BigFoot Recreation & Ski Area Ltd. and raised about $642,960 through the sale of shares in Big-Foot between August 2007 and January 2012.

However, the company, which was incorporated in 2003 to de-velop the resort, never fi led a prospectus in B.C. and McHaffi e has never been registered to sell securities in B.C.

“Th e panel found that, through the sale of shares in BigFoot, McHaffi e committed a fraud,” the ruling said.

“In that regard, McHaffi e made

false statements to entice inves-tors, such as telling them that their investment would be used for expenses related to getting BigFoot publicly listed, and that construction or completion of the ski resort was imminent.”

Instead, according to the rul-ing, McHaffi e used investor funds to pay for personal expenses, in-cluding gas, restaurants, grocer-ies and retail purchases, not for expenditures related to taking BigFoot public.

In addition, although BigFoot’s ski resort proposal was rejected by the provincial government in September 2010, McHaffi e continued to raise a total of $111,070 from investors aft er that date. Th e commission found that Bigfoot’s distribution of shares to 27 of the 30 investors for pro-ceeds of $621,960 contravened

the prospectus requirements in the Securities Act. McHaffi e also contravened the Act because, as a director of BigFoot, he autho-rized, permitted and acquiesced in the company’s contravention.

McHaffi e and BigFoot have been permanently prohibited from trading or purchasing se-curities or exchange contracts, from acting as a registrant or pro-moter, from engaging in investor relations activities, and from act-ing in a management or consulta-tive capacity in connection with the securities market. McHaffi e is also permanently prohibited from acting as a director or offi -cer of any issuer or registrant.

In addition to the $2 million fi ne, the commission has or-dered McHaffi e to pay back the $642,960 he raised from inves-tors.

Gas: the other pipeline showdown

Th e prospect of piping diluted heavy oil across northern B.C. and loading it in tankers has generated signifi cant genuine protests, as well as bursts of celebrity nonsense, rent-a-stunts and instant online petitions.

Natural gas pipelines and ex-port terminals, on the other hand, are generally accepted by the pub-lic. Premier Christy Clark staked her political future on developing liquefi ed natural gas exports, and pulled off an upset election win that not even Clark expected.

Most of the heat she’s taken on that is focused on her extravagant predictions that LNG will pay off

the debt and maybe even get rid of our sales tax.

But as I predicted 18 months ago, there’s a shift in the target of pro-fessional protesters to natural gas. A reminder of that awaited me on a morning walk to the B.C. legis-lature during the last week of the May session.

At the front gate stood a young woman in a bikini top and shorts, her skin smeared with a dark mate-rial, presumably to simulate crude oil. She waved to passing traffi c, stretching a banner promoting a website for the “Unist’ot’en camp.”

Legislature security intervened to clear the entry walkway before I could ask the protester who was paying her. Th e fundraising web-site she was promoting hadn’t been updated since March, but this isn’t the fi rst time this camp has been promoted here.

Chevron’s Burnaby oil refi nery

was also targeted May 30 by pro-testers who locked themselves to a gate with bicycle locks and chains. Th ey also cited the Unist’ot’en camp and their aim to stop the Pacifi c Trails pipeline.

Th e camp came to my attention last summer, when it was promoted by one of Victoria’s chronic anar-chist protesters, a woman who goes by the name Zoe Blunt. Blunt and other southern protesters docu-mented their trip north to support the camp’s stated goal, to stop the Pacifi c Trails gas pipeline, planned to supply the Chevron-Apache liq-uefi ed natural gas terminal near Kitimat.

Th e camp is on Crown land near Smithers. It was established at the end of a one-lane bridge by two members of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation. While that community’s elected council maintains a re-spectful relationship with the B.C.

government, the splinter group that backs the camp has confronta-tion in mind.

Th e Unist’ot’en website is a jumble of demands and claims that alternates between the Pacifi c Trails gas pipeline and Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal. Like the woman at the legislature, if you want it to be against oil, it’s against oil.

A clearer picture of this situ-ation is provided by a relentless blogger named Greg Renouf, who specializes in investigating protest-ers across Canada. His blog, www.genuinewitty.com, should be re-quired reading for reporters who are presented with slick banners and posturing protesters.

Renouf follows the money as well as the familiar faces who pop up at protest aft er protest. In April he reported that the increasingly mili-tant Council of Canadians is sup-

porting the Unist’ot’en camp, alongwith what he describes as “a host ofNGOs, unions, militant anarchistsand professional protesters.” Th eyinclude Harsha Walia, who orga-nized violent protests against the2010 Vancouver Olympics.

Meanwhile in the real world,TransCanada Corp. announcedlast week its subsidiary NovaGasTransmission has signed an agree-ment with Chevron and Apachefor a gas pipeline that will connectto Pacifi c Trails. It’s one of fourgas pipelines TransCanada has indevelopment for what is plannedto be the biggest industrial invest-ment in B.C. history.

Th ey can smear it with oil, butgas is the protest industry’s latesttarget.

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

Little reason for optimism Amid the rhetoric, acrimony, and accusations, the dispute between the BC Teachers’

Federation and the provincial government comes down to one thing: Money.Th e two sides may choose a more colourful palette: Politicians will argue its all about

responsible stewardship of the economy; teachers will say its about quality of education.But still, it all comes down to money.Or more to the point, taxes.Currently, $4.7 billion of your tax dollars is spent on the education system annually.

Th e government says that should be enough. In fact, it argues it’s 27 per cent more than what was spent in 2001.

Th e BCTF says it’s not. Citing stats that suggest B.C.’s per student funding is among the lowest in Canada, it says more must be done.

Th e debate has polarized the province. But while taxpayers may agree to disagree on who’s to blame for the latest impasse, there is one thing they can agree on: Th e system is broken.

Only twice in the past two decades has a collective agreement been agreed upon by all the parties involved.

During that time, there has been a noticeable contraction in public education. In the past fi ve years, for example, the number of students enrolled has dropped by 21,498. At the same time, student population at independent schools has gown by 6,605.

To suggest that labour unrest is the reason for this migration would be an oversim-plifi cation. And yet, every time there’s a labour disruption enrollment climbs at private schools.

Clearly there are people who are willing to spend more to educate their children.Th e BCTF argues the average taxpayer should do the same. It says education in B.C.

is chronically underfunded and deserves a bigger share of the fi scal pie. But it also says that should not come at the expense of other government sectors.

Th at means one thing: higher taxes.And that seems unlikely. During the last provincial election neither the NDP nor the

BC Liberals showed any appetite raise the kind of money needed to meet the spending expectations of the BCTF.

Doing so now seems even less likely, meaning an arbitrated settlement that only per-petuates the distrust and animosity until the next round begins again.

If that sounds pessimistic, it’s not. Given the history, it’s simply realistic.- Black Press

The purpose of this secondopen house is to look at options regarding

C.E. Barry Intermediate School. PLEASE ENTER VIA THE REAR OF THE RECREATION CENTRE. PARKING IS AVAILABLE BESIDE THE ARENA AND NEAR THE

SKATEBOARD PARK.

Everyone is welcome to attend!

website: hopestandard.com

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Does the required cost of seismic

mitigation justify the closure of C.E.

Barry school?

Here’s how you responded:

Yes 71% No 29%

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:

Th is Monday aft er-noon, I enjoyed a pleas-ant time at the local drop-in centre for the less fortunate in Hope.

About 100 people came together to cel-ebrate the centre’s fi rst

year in operation with a barbecue and rousing music from a band who call themselves a “Sweet Tooth.”

It is nice to see what a community can accom-plish when the will is

there. Here in Hope are many groups who are mainly in operation to help the less fortunate among us, and all these volunteers deserve a big hug and tap on their backs.

One of my biggest wishes is that our local elected leaders would get their heads out of sand and start to cli-mate some of the hur-dles they have created for these poorest of

poor in our society. Yukon Eric

Th e award for the most beautiful town in the world goes to Hope, B.C., Canada. We have it all – lakes, rivers and mountains.

I came to Hope in 1946 as a 12-year-old. I got lucky – Bud gave me a job (he’s a very smart man) and I worked for him for 50 years. May-be he should be mayor again (work on him).

Back to the point of this letter. Th is is for the real estate sales-people in Hope. If you

list a home because of divorce or estate sale, look aft er your boule-vard. Why do you put your for sale signs on our boulevards? You can not sell the town’s property; it is reserved for politicians every four years.

Th ere is a house with a realtor for sale sign on it. It was put up two years ago and the sign cannot be read due to weeds. You can’t pay someone $15 to cut grass out of your fee? If

it is an empty lot, cut it too.

Aft er looking around town, I think Wayne Dyble and Rob Pel-legrino do a good job.

I am cutting the grass at some of these boule-vards (with Bud’s lawn mower) to give a little back to our wonderful town.

On another note, I understand the swear pipeline under Kawka-wa Lake has ruptured. I hope we townspeople can aff ord to fi x the pipes very soon, or did we spend all our sur-plus money on a steam cleaner?

Dick Gardner,Th e new Steve D.

In March, minister Rich Cole-man, B.C. deputy premier and minister responsible for hous-ing, announced that the govern-ments of Canada and B.C. are committed to investing $300 million over fi ve years to help more individuals and families to access aff ordable housing.

In response to this announce-ment, the Hope and Area

Transition Society (HATS), in partnership with a number of stakeholders, including the Fra-ser Health Authority, the Dis-trict of Hope, RCMP, and many others, are working to develop a preliminary plan to address the housing needs for the vulner-able populations living within Hope. Th e goals for this com-munity stakeholder group are to

seek input and ideas on what this facility may look like, what type of client would be housed, how many units maybe required, and what other like-minded service providers may be housed in this location. Before any building is constructed due diligence, com-munity input and consultation must be conducted to ensure that we are meeting the needs of

the community. Th is is an excit-ing opportunity for Hope and Area Transition Society and the community of Hope. To join the housing task force commit-tee, call 604-869-5111 or email [email protected] to be notifi ed of upcoming meetings.

I’m writing in regards to the tiring and disap-pointing strike that is plaguing our schools.

I am not choosing sides, nor will I because I believe both sides have a great deal of maturing to do, however, I recently heard some informa-tion that discouraged me.

I was informed that the government reneged on the last contract that was signed.

The teachers’ union have taken the govern-ment to the Supreme Court twice and have won both times, yet the government has still not com-plied.

My compromise would be for the government to give back to the teachers what was legally agreed upon in the last contract, and then see if the union steps up to do their share in getting this resolved.

Province cuts deal with school support staff

Jeff NagelBlack Press

Th e province has struck a tenta-tive deal with 34,000 school sup-port staff on the eve of B.C. teach-ers’ vote on staging a full-scale strike.

Th e fi ve-year agreement reached Saturday provides wage increases totaling 5.5 per cent, with potential for more tied to the performance of the B.C. economy – in line with the standard settlements reached with other public sector unions. It covers education assistants, school secretaries, caretakers, bus drivers and other education support staff , mostly represented by the Cana-dian Union of Public Employees.

Th e union and provincial nego-tiators with the B.C. Public School Employers Association hammered the deal out in just fi ve days follow-ing the start of talks last Tuesday.

“Th is success provides ample ev-idence that the bargaining system works — when the parties come to the table with reasonable expecta-tions and a fl exible, solution-orient-ed approach,” said BCPSEA public administrator Michael Marchbank said.

“We built some momentum very quickly,” CUPE B.C. spokesman Rob Hewitt said. “Th e government came our direction enough to meet in the middle and we found a solu-tion.”

He said the union also secured increased hours for education as-sistants and standardization gains to extended health benefi t plans.

Asked if the timing of talks amid the intensifying teachers dispute helped CUPE negotiators, Hewitt said only the teachers were not dis-cussed at the table.

Also included is an Employee Support Grant covering any wages

CUPE members lose by refusing tocross legal picket lines.

Th e union’s support for the B.C.Teachers Federation and teach-ers’ pursuit of long-term adequatefunding for public education“hasn’t changed one iota,” CUPEB.C. president Mark Hancock said.

“Just as the teachers have beenat our side as our members havefought for public education, wecontinue to stand with them.”

Th e deal running through to thesummer of 2019 must still be rati-fi ed by union members.

School support staff get furtherwage increases in the fi nal fouryears of the agreement equivalentto half of any increase of provincialeconomic growth in excess of thebudget’s forecast. GDP growth ofone per cent above the forecast in agiven year would, for example, trig-ger a further 0.5 per cent pay hike.

Mosquito season has arrived across the Fra-ser Valley, but experts say not to worry.

Mosquito control crews have been hard at work treating mosquito larvae, said FVRD con-tractor and biologist Dirk Lewis of Morrow Biosci-ence.

“We never really know what kind of season we’re facing until the snow is all gone,” said Lewis. “But the river is not go-ing to get very high, and the mosquito season is strongly correlated with the river levels.”

So it shouldn’t be too bad a season for 2014. Certainly not as bad as

the high water seasons of 2011 and 2012.

“Last year was about average, and this year we expect the same,” he said.

Every spring they zero in on the largest source of nuisance mosquitoes in the region – those hatch-ing along the Fraser River corridor as levels start to rise. Th eir job is to moni-tor, map, and treat mos-quito breeding sites, and they’ll continue through-out the season.

As part of the annual Nuisance Mosquito Con-trol Program by FVRD, fl oodwater sites are treated with a non-toxic bacterial larvacide that specifi cally targets blood-suckers in the larval stage before they can fl y.

When the water levels

rise, they do aerial treat-ments as well as ground treatment. It’s been an early melt year.

“A fair bit of fl ood wa-ter habitat was activated,” said Lewis.

Th ey targeted more of the islands found in the Fraser for 2014.

“We actually have a boat this year,” he added.

Th e bacterial larvacide that they use is consid-ered an eff ective and environmentally-friendly method of controlling nuisance mosquitoes without harming oth-er species. Fogging or spraying chemicals to kill fl ying adults is not part of the program, and is not permitted.

While the FVRD mos-quito control is eff ective

at reducing mosquitopopulations, residentscan also help by:

• eliminating sourcesof standing water likesaucers under fl owerpots, bird baths, old tires,pet dishes, gutters, poolcovers, trampolines, ortarps

• maintaining andchlorinating swimmingpools.

• emptying kiddiepools when not in use.

• covering rain barrelswith fi ne mesh.

For mosquito controlinquiries or to reportmosquito breeding siteswithin the Fraser Rivercorridor, call the FVRD’sMosquito Hotline at1-888-733-2333 or sendan email to [email protected]

Mosquito season shouldn’t be too bad this year

Walk to stay fit People invest great

deals of money in an eff ort to stay as fi t and healthy as possible.

But while exercise equipment and gym memberships are a worthy investment, those focused on fi t-ness should not under-estimate the value of walking as a means to burn calories and pro-mote overall health.

Walking is great ex-ercise, and people of just about any age and fi tness level can get out and walk.

According to Dr. An-drew Weil, a renowned author and expert in integrative medicine, walking is such a good exercise because it makes use of all mus-cles, promotes coordi-nation and balance and carries the least risk of injury for people of any age.

Physical exercise does not need to be complicated and brisk walking can help a per-son to live a healthier life by providing a number of benefi ts:

Walking promotes maintaining a healthy weight through physi-cal activity.

Walking can pre-vent or make it easier to

manage various health conditions that are de-pendent on weight and cardiovascular health, including blood pres-sure, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Walking is a weight-bearing ex-ercise that can help strengthen bones and

promote good posture. Exercise, like walk-

ing, has been known to benefi t mood, specifi -cally for those people battling depression.

What people may not realize is that walk-ing provides many of the same benefi ts as

jogging, only with less impact on the joints and feet. Walking also is less taxing on the heart, particularly for people who are adopt-ing a more active life-style aft er a period of being sedentary.

Some easy ways to add some intensity to

your walk is to increase your pace, walk uphill or bear more weight by wearing a weight vest. Incorporating more pronounced arm movements also can help a person to work even more muscles and burn more calories.

In order to make the most of your walk, consider the following tips.

Invest in a com-fortable pair of walk-ing shoes. Exercise can be thwarted by pain in the feet. Comfortable shoes will make it eas-ier for you to stick to your walking regimen.

Stand up straight and look ahead while walking. Do not stoop or look at the ground.

Bend the elbows and swing the arms a little while walking.

Bring a friend along who can engage in conversation and make the time spent walking go more quick-ly. Otherwise walk a dog or play upbeat mu-sic that encourages you to pick up the pace.

Find a convenient time to walk each day, and look for a new path each day to vary the workout. Walking in beautiful surroundings can make the walk that much more enjoyable.

Start out slowly and then increase the pace and the intensity as you build up more stamina. You also may want to increase the distance you walk as you gain more stamina.

CEO leaves Fraser Health as big changes loom

Jeff NagelBlack Press

Dr. Nigel Murray has stepped down as president and CEO of Fraser Health amid an extensive re-view that is expected to soon bring signifi cant changes to the health region.

Murray served as the top admin-istrator at Fraser Health for seven years and cited family reasons for returning to New Zealand, where he is in the running for a similar job.

No severance will be paid out be-cause he’s resigning.

Dr. David Ostrow, the former CEO of Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, takes over as interim CEO of Fraser Health.

Th e announcement is the latest shakeup at Fraser, where the former board chair David Mitchell was re-moved in April by the provincial government.

Th e board has since been chaired by Wynne Powell, the longtime board chair of the Provincial Health Services Authority who also chairs B.C. Emergency Services.

Powell said the strategic review committee is fi nalizing its recom-mendations for improvements at Fraser.

He wouldn’t reveal details of the fi ndings but suggested they point mainly to smarter use of Fraser’s budget allocation.

“Th e conclusion they came to is funding is not the major issue,” Powell said.

“It’s not just about change, it’s about helping drive better results and better outcomes. We’ve got to fi nd a way to use the facilities in the best manner possible.”

Powell said he thinks there are opportunities for improvement in community care and long-term care in particular.

“Th ere’s defi nitely got to be a re-focusing of some of the moneys to help the system.”

Health Minister Terry Lake an-nounced the review last fall in re-sponse to Fraser’s repeated failure to say within its budget increase each year. Lake at that time said the review could explore a redrawing of health authority boundaries.

Asked if Lower Mainland health authorities will be amalgamated now that Fraser is without a perma-nent CEO and board chair, Powell said he’s heard “that rumour” but has seen nothing to substantiate it.

Fraser and Vancouver Coastal already jointly procure various ser-

vices and supplies to save money.Powell also responded to criti-

cism that the detailed fi ndings ofthe review team won’t be released,but will instead be summarizedwithin a new three-year strategicplan for Fraser.

He said the working papers ofthe committee are too complex fortheir public release to be helpful.

“It’s not a matter of them beinghidden, it’s a matter of making surethey’re interpreted correctly,” hesaid.

During Murray’s seven years atFraser, the health region’s budgetclimbed nearly 50 per cent, from$2.1 billion to $3.1 billion.

Even with the increase, localhospitals remain heavily congestedand there’s been steady criticismthat Fraser gets a lower per capitashare of health funding comparedto other regions.

Powell said it’s diffi cult to com-pare budgets of diff erent healthregions, because they perform dif-ferent tasks.

He said the Vancouver Coastaland Provincial Health Services au-thorities spend enormous amountson academic work and researchthat’s “essential” to improvinghealth care and fi nding effi ciencies.

Good afternoon, ladies, gentlemen, friends, family, teachers, students, and the Class of 2014. We’re leaving our school with lots of interesting memories & a positive aspect. We stand here today ready to be on our way to the future. It begins right here and it begins today. No matter where we go or what we do, there will be challenges ahead of us. What I’m asking from each of you, and from myself, is to meet those challenges straight on with your head held high and your heart wide open. It’s not enough to simply try to get by in life. That doesn’t move the world or you forward. You must try to excel in everything you do; strive for excellence in every task, large or small. We may not have the power to inspire the entire world to strive for success, but we do have challenge to each of you, and to myself, is to do all that you can to reach your full potential not just on the big stuff but each and every day. Like our quote says “We can do anything” If each of the 6 students in this graduation class is able to do that, just image the impact that we would have. The future is truly in our hands, so let’s make the most of it.

Krayg, we know everyone think you are the quiet one but we know better. Your strong observation skills when you watch us all get dramatic will help you keep a calm head in

culinary school. We can’t wait to taste your creations and we look forward to having you cater our high school reunions.

Lesley, you are another one who know how to watch and stay out of drama but we have also seen your fun and adventurous side. It is this confi dence and willingness to try new things that will make you successful at TRU. You will make a great social worker once you fi nish your bachelor’s degree. May you never come knock on any of our doors!

Spencer, you have been working hard at so many different jobs all through highschool that we know you will never be still but we wish you success in helping run Canyon Mobile and in your janitor week but most importantly we hope you get those weekends off to have some fun.

Meloy, we are so proud of you, for believing in yourself when others had doubt & pushing towards your goal. Today you are not only graduating but also moving on to one of the greatest and most important careers. You will be fi ghting for our freedom. Our hearts and prayers will go with you and you will continue to have our support.

Justice, you may have come and gone a few times in our high school days but that is just because you have

been so busy tackling life. You have more experiences that most of us but that doesn’t mean you are done yet. We know your wedding in fall will go smoothly because of all the planning you have put in. And once you start on Austin’s books, with your bookkeeping courses, he will have no tax concerns! We wish you luck with your new adventures in Merritt.

Nick, you have also kept busy in so many jobs through high school. We hope you enjoy your summer as a senior employee at Hell’s Gate and know that when you return to Kal Tire in September to continue working at your apprenticeship you will be just as valuable an employee to them as you have been valuable friend to each of us.

To our teachers, thank you for so freely sharing your time, talent and knowledge with us. Yet, we know it was your job to do it, but what you did for us went beyond the call of duty. You took the time to explain assignments, sometimes repeatedly because we weren’t paying attention. You allowed us to come to your classroom after school for extra help when you could have gone home to spend time with your family. You put in the effort to make lessons more interesting so we wouldn’t just tune out. You demanded excellence from us whether or not we want to give it. You set the bar high and challenged

us to live up to it. Thank you for believing in us and never giving up. With your support, we will tackle our futures confi dently, knowing that you are behind us ready to back us up no matter what.

For all of you out there we call family: whether you are parents, grandparents, relatives, support workers, friends or associates we would not be here without you. We know that you have stood by us, guided us, and supported us in so many ways. We want to thank you and let you know just how much we appreciate you. You may not see it on a daily basis but in those quiet moments when we sit down and refl ect on who we were and who we have become we know it is because of you! When we are making those tough adult decisions in the future,

we will hear your voices and see your faces in our minds.

As you can see, behind each graduate there must have been at least a dozen people providing support in a least a dozen ways. The best way we graduates can show our gratitude it o make the most of the opportunity we’ve been given, and go forward into the world with the intention of making it a better place for the generations that follow us. We will pay the debt forward with gratitude as we grow and gain experience. We will guide those who come behind u with the gift of our time, our stories and our experience. Remember we can and we will do anything! We thank you all for coming and sharing this day with us, please enjoy our celebration and have a wonderful time.

Remembering the war in June 1944Peter Flynn Contributor

I can well remember the trunk.

Th ere it sat, in my parents’ attic, sur-rounded by the odds and ends of life that were relegated to that room; it was a large, gray steamer trunk that had been back and forth across the Atlan-tic many times, before fi nding itself in our house.

In our family, it was always referred to as “the treasure trunk.” As a child, I was never too sure what was con-tained in its depths. Furtive glances into it on the odd occasion when it was opened by my parents revealed that the “treasure” was not of the gold silver and jewel variety. In this trunk there was

an abundance of old letters, many dusty, brown-edged pictures, several old books and magazines, and innu-merable boxes of sou-venirs. Generally, the trunk was a repository of all the remnants of my parents’, grandpar-ents’ and great-grand-parents’ lives.

Our family moved to Hope in 1966, and the trunk followed us through a succession of moves, until it was fi nally deposited on the cement basement fl oor of our home on Hazel Street in 1975. Th ere it stayed, silent, gathering dust, remaining largely unopened, hearing the rhythm and pattern of our lives pass by. In the cellar, the trunk heard my siblings as we left for each other’s wed-ding, brought home our new-born babies,

and fi nally, attended each of our parent’s fu-nerals.

In 1992, the trunk came to my house, and it was practically a year later before I began to sift through the con-tents. Slowly, I came to understand how appro-priate was the name, “the treasure trunk,” for the letters therein gave me a window on the world of the past, a world that is no longer there.

Perhaps the most moving letters were those written by my father and his mother while he was involved in the Second World War. He joined the Royal Canadian Navy in 1941, and in early 1943 had gone over-seas to the European theatre of war.

My grandmother’s letters to him are des-perate, worrying ones, in which she wished for the day to hasten when she could see her only son again, prepare his favourite meals, and simply relish his presence amongst his close family.

A letter from dad to his family written the day before D-Day, is particularly poignant. Without mentioning the inevitable confl ict, he told his family that he was “going in” with their photographs in his breast pocket, and that if he were to die (he was 22 years old), a

trust fund was to be set up for his newly-born niece.

Dad’s role the next day was to drive the landing craft s from the ships to the beaches of Normandy while un-der enemy attack. No one can really say what horrors he experi-enced, but a letter writ-ten by my father in the dark of night aft er the beachhead had been established reveals much. It says:

“Th is is to tell you that I managed to get through the fi rst day of

the invasion of France without a scratch, but I have only God to thank for getting us out of that hell hole.

“We were carrying in the third wave, re-serves for the assault groups who landed just ahead. Th ere were no enemy planes around although there was one shot down in fl ames – it might have been en-emy or allied. Th e seas were very rough and most of the soldiers were very sick.

“When we got to the beach, or at least one

hundred yards off , we saw that the minefi eld and beach obstacles hadn’t been cleared, so it meant we had to pray to God and try and go through. Jerry mortar fi re was very intense and there was a big gun, I think something like a six inch, that was lobbing the odd shell in our vicinity. Th e odd machine gun was going too. I was too scared to either pee or poo.

“We zigged and zagged around most of the mines, but eventu-ally could go no fur-ther because of a mine on either side of us and three mines in front. Th e bowman and I got into the water up to our waists and the soldiers started to leave. One of them was killed about fi ve feet away from me…it was awful. An-other was killed a little nearer the water’s edge and one badly wound-ed in the craft but he went on. One of my seamen was wounded by shrapnel on the head and shoulder by a mortar exploding two or three feet away. One of our craft was blown up about 10 yards away. One man very serious-ly wounded – left on the beach with fi rst aid party – the remainder got back somehow or other.

“We were in the mid-dle of that … mine fi eld for 25 minutes. God got us out. My Bible

was the only thing thatwasn’t ruined. Th e ob-stacles … were made ofrailway lines with themines on the top. Youknow it was a horriblesensation in the waterwith mines about twofeet from you and tripwires in the water toset them off , all aroundyour legs.

“No, it was a ghastlybusiness but it hadto be done, and I wasscared stiff throughand through. My menwere wonderful. Th ebest in the world andthey were magnifi centbut it was touch and gofor a while.”

Upon reading thisletter, I was struck athow very scared myfather was, but howhe went ahead and didwhat he had to do, likethousands of others onthat day. I was also in-terested to see how he,who always called him-self “a recalcitrant An-glican,” acknowledgedthe Almighty as beingthe main reason for hiseluding death.

During the past fewweeks, anyone watch-ing the media couldnot help but know ofthe celebrations associ-ated with the 70th an-niversary of D-Day.

Perhaps this letter,taken from a rathernondescript old “trea-sure trunk,” helps toput a human face onthe sacrifi cial and per-sonal cost that is war’stoll.

“It was one of my proudest moments in my 30 years of working for School District 78,” said Coquihalla Elementary school secretary Sandra Loring.

She’s also grandma to two students at the school so on May 30, she was stepping out of the offi ce to check on the sports day aft ernoon races, still wearing her phone headset.

On one visit, the crowd of hundreds of stu-dents, teachers and parents were loudly cheer-ing, “Go Carter, go! Go Carter, go!”

Coming across the fi eld — well over a min-ute behind his peers — was six- year-old Cart-er Perry-Sweeting, determined to fi nish the 50-metre race in his four-wheeled walker, de-spite his cerebral palsy.

“A lot of us had cameras in our hands — but we were all caught up in the moment and didn’t think to use them,” said Loring.

Gary Lewis had come to watch his grand-son Gavin… and got volunteered to serve as fi rst-place-ribbon-distributor for the aft ernoon races and tugs-of-war. When Carter was about two-thirds done, special education teacher Jen-nifer Wright stepped over to Lewis and told him something.

From my vantage point, as race-starter, I fi g-ured that Wright had a plan. I left my post, with camera rolling in video mode.

Th e crowd was getting more intense, calling, “Let’s go Carter, let’s go!”

Carter was slowing down, with about fi ve meters to go, then — perhaps buoyed by the crowd — he surged across the fi nish line, with Wright bouncing in celebration.

In typical fashion, Carter was grinning with his whole body — and he kept it going when Lewis stepped up and handed him a fi rst-place ribbon.

It was a magical moment for everyone that witnessed it, including his sister Autumn, who had put him in the race.

“Mrs. Kuhn (a special education assistant) and I asked him if he wanted to do it and he said ‘yeah,’” said Autumn, who is 15 years old. “We asked him if he wanted to go ahead of the other kids and he said ‘no.’ He even put his hand on the ground for the start, like the other kids.

“He wasn’t ready for the start, though. He was a little distracted,” she said, smiling.

When the other 20 boys took off running,

Carter started perhaps the longest-yet walk of his life, with Autumn following behind him.

“He stopped for a bit to play with some fl ow-ers,” she said. “I had to remind him that he was in the middle of something!”

Nearing the fi nish line, Autumn went ahead and joined the crowd to wait for her little broth-er.

Later on, she put him in the Grade 1 tug-of war and his blue team won fi rst place.

“He was their anchor and I think he really helped his team. I just helped him stand up,” said Autumn, who brings Carter to school most days, on her way to Hope Secondary.

Growing up with such a special little brother has given her a career goal.

“I want to be an S.E.A. (special ed assistant),” Autumn said, confi dently.

Mom, Charlotte, wasn’t able to see the race — but the photos, video and Facebook comments

have helped her share the moment.Before he started school, Carter was harder to

deal with, she said. “He had separation-anxiety for years but

school was the turn-around for that, with Mrs.Williams giving him a friend-for-day and kidstaking turns.

“It’s crazy, how everybody treats him so great,”she added. “I was worried that kids wouldn’tunderstand or be as accepting as they are.”

Crowd cheers student to triumphant finish

Carter Perry-Sweeting shows off the first place ribbon he received from volunteer, Gary Lewis, after completing the 50-metre race at Coquihalla elemen-tary’s sports day on May 30. The whole school was cheering for Perry-Sweeting, who has cerebral palsy.

Talk about a controversy: RCMP officer Dwayne Farlin will be playing for the Hope Le-gion #228 team when they take

on the RCMP this Saturday in a slo-pitch game at Sixth Avenue Park.

It’s the second annual “Legion Challenge to the RCMP,” and or-ganizer Faye Stewart would like to see lots of spectators out to

cheer on their favourite players.Farlin, who grew up in Hope,

played for the Legion last year and Stewart said she was sure he got some ribbing for it from his fellow officers.

The nine-inning game starts at

2 p.m., followed by a party (for adults) in the Legion Lounge.

“Players and spectators are welcome to come back to the lounge for a beer and a burger for five bucks,” said Stewart.

“Last year, the Legion won ‘by

a large margin,’” said Stewart,laughing. “You can put that inthere — and that will get themgoing!”

Stewart said there is no chargefor spectators.

“It’s just raising fun.”
