The Fraser-Cascade school dis-trict is considering the closure of C.E. Barry due to the cost of re-quired seismic mitigation.

More than 100 parents, teach-ers and students packed into the commons room at Hope second-ary on Tuesday night to find out the district’s plan for the future of the 42-year-old middle school. Trustees voted in favour of pursu-ing a public consultation process starting in June.

“This process was pushed on the board. Everybody would have been satisfied to upgrade the building,” said secretary treasurer Natalie Lowe-Zucchet during her presentation. “It’s been a fairly lengthy process and it’s not some-thing we’re taking lightly.”

On May 12, 2012, the govern-ment announced $122 million of new capital funding to carry out structural upgrades for 14 school with high seismic risk. C.E. Bar-ry was identified as a vulnerable structure at high risk of wide-

spread damage or structural col-lapse, likely not reparable after a major seismic event. Lowe-Zuc-chet said as the process progressed and ministry budgets tightened, the government required more in-formation. The school board was directed to focus on seismic up-grades to ensure safety, not school renewal, and pursue the lowest cost option.

Engineering consultants were hired to produce a seismic proj-ect identification report for C.E Barry, with solutions for structur-

al upgrades to address life safety.The detailed cost estimate for thework came in at $4 million.

Due to excess school capacity,the ministry asked the district toexamine the costs for additionsand demolition in comparison tomaintaining the school. In partic-ular, the government requested areview of the ongoing operationalcosts and current life cycle costs.The district has to prove there’s aneed for C.E. Barry, despite de-clining enrolment.

In Australia, in February each year they have a “FebFast”. It’s a charity movement which challenges you to take a 28-day break from alcohol and raise funds for youth addiction. It’s a great idea to give up one thing in your life for a good cause. You don’t have to wait till February to try it and the person to bene t from this fast would be you and your health and the charity of your choice.

If you are over 65, getting a pneumonia shot is a good idea. This is especially important if you have a chronic illness.

Those under 65 who have compromised immune systems or a chronic disease should also receive a pneumonia shot.

Those who experience muscle pain from taking cholesterol-lowering “statin” drugs may have an alternate therapy in the future. Researchers are looking at creating antibodies that will circulate through the blood and lower the bad LDL cholesterol. Still in the trial phase but show much promise.

The summer holiday season

is fast approaching and it’s a good time to review the contents of your rst-aid kit to keep in your car during your travels. The kit should contain things like a digital thermometer, assorted bandages and tape, medication to reduce pain and fever, some hydrocortisone cream for stings and bites, some skin antiseptic and antihistamines.

Our pharmacy staff can help you put together a rst-aid kit and give advice on the age-appropriate medications to treat various symptoms.

A number of options are being considered, including the possibili-ty of transferring Grade 7 students to Hope sec-ondary and Grades 5 and 6 to Coquihalla elementary. Lowe-Zuc-chet said the govern-ment would consider funding a four-room addition to Coquihalla elementary to accom-modate students if C.E. Barry is closed.

While the addition to Coquihalla is the most cost-eff ective, Lowe-Zucchet acknowledged there are fi nancial, educational and emo-tional costs with all the options.

However, the closure of C.E. Barry is project-ed to save the district $200,000 annually in operating costs, which could be used for stu-dent programming or

additional recreational facilities. Th ere also wouldn’t be any teach-ing positions lost, add-ed Lowe-Zucchet.

A number of par-ents and teachers in at-tendance at Tuesday’s meeting were emotion-al and frustrated with the school’s uncertain future. Many stressed the importance of C.E. Barry in educational development, rela-tionship building, and transitioning students to high school. Oth-ers expressed the need to give the community time to process a clo-sure, and not make any change for the 2014-15 school year.

“If this school gets closed, I will accept that as a personal failure on all of your parts,” C.E. Barry teacher Aaron Poulin told the school board and district ad-ministration.

“You have not found a way to keep that school safe and keep our kids in the com-munity that we have

worked hard to develop over the years. We un-derstand all the num-bers and the fi nances, but education is losing

money every day. It’s about the kids. I chal-lenge you to fi nd a way to make this school vi-able and safe.”

Addition to Coquihalla elementary could be an option

No legislation planned for teacher strikeTom FletcherBlack Press

The B.C. government is not planning to legislate a settlement to the latest teach-er strike, which shut down schools in each district for a day this week.

Education Minister Pe-ter Fassbender said Monday the government is looking for movement from the B.C. Teachers’ Federation on its wage and benefit demands, but isn’t going to impose an-other contract extension on

the union. The legislature is scheduled to adjourn for the summer today (May 29).

“To rush to legislation is not where we’re going to go,” Fassbender said.

“We want the BCTF to come to the table with a wage response that is reasonable and within the zone of oth-er public sector unions. We expect them to come with something that is affordable for taxpayers.”

After lockout provisions were announced last week to mirror union work hour

restrictions that started in April, BCTF president Jim Iker said that would dis-rupt graduation ceremonies, and sports, drama and clubs would be cancelled.

The B.C. Public School Em-ployers’ Association issued a letter to the BCTF Sunday saying Iker’s statements are incorrect, and there are no school district restrictions on extracurricular or volunteer activities.

“If teachers withdraw from participation in extracurric-ular or volunteer activities,

they do so at the encourage-ment of the union and by their own choice,” the letter states.

Fassbender also rejected the union’s claim that teach-ers doing volunteer work are not covered for work-related injury.

“Any teacher that is at any activity that is sanctioned by a school district is absolutely covered by WorkSafeBC,” Fassbender said.

“There is no question of that, and that misinforma-tion should be corrected.”

District planning repairs for East Kawkawa Lake lift station

The waste water lift station at East Kawkawa Lake will soon be repaired following the discov-ery of a malfunction on May 17 that resulted in the deployment of vacuum trucks to manually remove waste water.

It has been confirmed that an underwater pipe has been dam-

aged in the form of two “kinks” thereby causing a blockage.

“All required provincial en-vironment, health and fisheries organizations have been con-tacted and at no time has there been any threat to public health or safety,” said chief administra-tive officer John Fortoloczky.

“In addition, malicious sig-nage was posted claiming thedistrict had closed the lakedue to contamination, a matterwhich is being investigated bythe RCMP.”

The district is schedulingrepair work to start as early asnext week.

Hope Search and Rescue was called out on May 22 at 3:50 p.m. to help locate a missing 14-year-old teenager at the Rotary Trail.

SAR members were de-ployed on the trail and afteran hour were advised thatshe was found by the RCMPnear her house.

Boston Bar celebrated its 87th May Day festival on Sat-urday.

Th e annual event featured a parade along Highway 1, followed by the crowning of the new May Queen, tradi-tional May Pole dance, children’s activities, food, silent auction, vendors, and live music at the fairground. On Saturday night, the Abba tribute band Arrival, with guests Th e Grove, took over the main stage for a special concert.

A special honourary award was presented to Const. Jon Lane, who left Boston Bar this week for a new RCMP post. He was recognized for his “real care and concern when dealing with” residents and his willingness to attend pub-lic events, such as May Day, Remembrance Day, Stuff the Cruiser, and wood cutting work parties for North Bend Community Place.

Several other Community Spirit Awards were also handed out to residents on Saturday on behalf of the Boston Bar/North Bend Enhancement Society. Steve Clark was recognized for his computer work at the mu-seum, and music at North Bend Community Place and community events such as Canada Day.

Are our public schools racist?

Last week’s column on the pro-posal to add a mandatory high school course on the eff ects of Can-ada’s aboriginal residential school policy attracted a range of respons-es – some of which are printable.

I referred to comments made by B.C. Teachers’ Federation vice-president Glen Hansman at a 2012 aboriginal education conference, where he insisted that “racism is the norm in public schools – still today” because of a colonial per-spective that remains ingrained in our culture.

Aboriginal education has been built into social studies curriculum for years. It’s come a long way from my high school days, where Mr.

Spillers, my Grade 8 English teach-er, assigned us an essay proposing solutions to Canada’s “Indian prob-lem.”

Th at was 1972, and it was the only time the subject came up. My lone aboriginal classmate wasn’t around by then. I never saw him again aft er we graduated from our rural elementary school.

How are things now? I received a thoughtful letter from a young woman who graduated from high school in the Okanagan last year. She writes:

“Th e idea that information about residential schools is not presented to students is entirely incorrect. Th e social studies curriculum that I went through included a large emphasis on First Nations culture and post-European colonization history.

“First Nations studies began in elementary school and continued

to the last mandatory social studies course in Grade 11. I can say with no hesitation that if anything, I have been informed too oft en about the residential schools, and the hor-rendous things that occurred there.

“If aboriginal culture courses are poorly attended, I would be in-clined to suggest that it is because students are tired of being taught the same limited perspective over and over, and, if of European de-scent, being made to feel somehow responsible for all possible troubles plaguing First Nations today.”

Another reply I’d like to share is from Keith Th or Carlson, editor of the Stó:lo Nation historical atlas I referred to last week. Carlson is now a history professor at the University of Saskatchewan, specializing in the Salish people of B.C. and the Mé-tis of Northern Saskatchewan. He writes:

“We do need to teach the history

of the First Peoples of this country in our schools, and we do need to keep vigilant about the racism that continues to haunt the hallways and classrooms where our children learn.

“Of course aboriginal history should never be reduced to victim history, and with the Stó:lo atlas we sought to show the complexity of aboriginal history, and we sought to show that not only are there ab-original people in Canada’s history, but that Canada is in aboriginal peoples’ histories.

“Th ere were times in the past when aboriginal people were vic-timized (residential schools be-ing a tragic example), and there were times when aboriginal people showed great agency (retaining the masked dance, and continuing to fi sh salmon, for example).

“Knowing that native society was not a Utopia when Europeans ar-

rived does not take away from theimportance of learning about thefull history of aboriginal peopleand their relationship with Cana-dian society.

“And of course, as Ernie Creyhas reminded me many times, let’snever forget that native rights arenot based on race. Rather, they arerights based on prior occupation.And let’s also not forget that it isBritish and Canadian law that rec-ognizes aboriginal peoples’ inher-ent rights.

“Let’s teach good history to ouryouth so they can understand thecomplex relationship between set-tler society and aboriginal society.Th rough knowledge comes under-standing and through understand-ing can come reconciliation.”

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

School showdownYou don’t have to be a union supporter to think the BC Liberal govern-

ment is being unusually infl ammatory in its battle with the BC Teachers’ Federation.

Sure, the BCTF is being unreasonable with a wage proposal that would hike wages far and away above what other B.C. public and most private sector unions are settling for. Even teachers’ CUPE colleagues settled for much less than what the teachers are asking for — and the support work-ers’ deal was one of the richer in a province where many unions have grudgingly settled for 5.5 per cent over fi ve years.

Th ere is room to move on both sides but there’s little hope of conciliation on this delicate fi le — with Education Minister Peter Fassbender, whose start in education dates back to the early days of back-to-basics schools, tough-talking Peter Cameron and Premier Christy Clark, never a friend of teachers — at the reins.

You might as well ask the devil to escort the angels to the school Christ-mas play.

Did we really need to poke hornet’s nest with a 10 per cent wage cut while saying that teachers can continue to do their volunteer and extra-curricular work? Unprecedented in teachers’ talks, this PR move to make the teachers look and feel bad has just strengthened their resolve, leaving graduation ceremonies, end-of-year concerts and barbecues in a shambles.

Oddly, this jab from the BC Public Employers’ Association comes dur-ing one of the BCTF’s least disruptive work stoppages in recent memory.

Clearly the power lies with the BC Liberals, still fresh from last year’s election, but this power must be wielded judiciously. Th ey should drop the six-year-contact demand down to four, get rid of the infl ammatory zero per cent mid-contract, eliminate the signing bonus in favour of a retroac-tive pay increase — like the one the province gave CUPE — and put class size and composition issues into mediation.

If something isn’t done to bring some rationality into teacher talks, we’re looking at a future where educators watch the clock rather than attend their duties, both paid and unpaid, and that would be a great loss.

Should teachers be docked 10 per cent of their pay

for participating in strike action?

To answer, visit www.hopestandard.com

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Should more be done to promote fi lm

production in the Hope are?

Here’s how you responded:

Yes 82% No 18%

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:

Th e premier started an anti-bullying program in schools, yet it appears the Clark government is an aggressive bully to B.C. teachers and schools.

Th e teacher had an earned right to class makeup and size. Th is was taken away from them unilaterally. Th e teachers then asked the courts to rule and the court said teachers had that right. Th e government did not like that ruling so they are

appealing. Now they are trying to pressure and bully teachers to settle before the appeal is ruled on. Could they be worried the government may not win?

Th e government states they must protect taxpayers, a refrain they use when it comes to B.C. employee unions. However, they do not use that refrain when it comes to pay increases of 18 per cent for their staff , giving away $10 million for an

award show, or the hiring of patron-age jobs. It is paramount that B.C. pay good wages to keep good teach-ers – as of now they are the second lowest paid in Canada. I hope the B.C. government comes to realize that education it too important and too fast-changing to use schools and teachers as whipping posts.

For the future of B.C. and our children, settle this dispute.

Money raised supports local groups Every time I pass the Eagle’s

hall on Fort Street, I wonder what they’ve done with the money they raise through their bingos and meat draws. When I was told that they were having a gathering on May 24th to distribute the money they

raised I was curious to see who got what and how much of it went to groups right here in Hope. What a surprise! Between the two groups of Eagles they gave away over $52,000 to over 30 groups. For a small town like Hope this seems to me to be a

major contribution. It is so nice to see that the money raised locally is supporting everything from chil-dren’s groups to the elderly, sport-ing groups and support services for those in need. Well done Eagles.

Th e Hope Legion is very proud of the new look of our building and it couldn’t have happened without the very gener-ous donation of supplies, labour and equipment from Barclay Fletcher Construction. While

some of our members worked alongside Fletch-er and his employees, this never could have taken place without his very generous support.

Th e Legion, like many other groups in town, relies greatly on our vol-

unteers to keep our doors open and our facility in good working order. To have a company in town come forward and help us with the construction maintenance of the build-ing is a great help. Over the last couple of years,

the Legion has had a face-lift both outside and in-side. If you haven’t visited us lately, please consider coming down to see what has happened and what is available to the com-munity.

In the words of 20th Century lawyer, broad-cast executive, author and pioneer of social re-sponsibility in the media Donald H. McGannon, “Leadership is action, not position.” I couldn’t agree more. Whether you lead a business, a team, a family, a committee, your own life, or something else, you are a leader.

A mentor of mine once shared a position about leadership that really made sense to me, one that I have adopted in my own life to great eff ect. Th e position is this: “any-time I want something to be diff erent, it is a leader-ship opportunity.” Tak-ing this position brings a higher level of respon-sibility. It is much easier to criticize what other people are doing than get out there and be part of the solution. It takes more time and energy to educate yourself about an issue, determine how it might be resolved, and take steps to resolve it, than it does to complain about how other people are doing it. I think it’s worth the eff ort.

If I want something diff erent in my career, in my family, or in my community, these are all leadership opportunities. Stepping into leadership requires a willingness to

stand up for what you want and believe in, take action to create it, and make an impact in the area(s) you have iden-tifi ed as important to you. Strong leaders build strong communities. Leading by example is a great place to start. Fo-cus on what’s good and take action around what you think needs improve-ment. At the very least, refrain from complaining

and criticizing others for their eff orts.

When people work to-gether to change things for the better, the results are astounding. Rather than stand against some-thing, stand FOR some-thing, and do something about it. We are all lead-ers; let’s take that role to heart and realize our potential for the highest good of all.

Gas price hardship drives more to conserve: Poll

Jeff NagelBlack Press

A new poll has found high gas prices are caus-ing fi nancial hardship for a majority of B.C. residents, many of whom say they’re driving less and trying alternatives like walking or transit more.

Th e Insights West on-line survey in partner-ship with Black Press found two-thirds of respondents across the province have felt fi nan-cial hardship from the recent rise in gas prices.

Pump prices for regu-lar gas climbed above $1.50 per litre in Metro Vancouver this week, up more than 20 per cent since early January.

More Interior B.C. residents cited hard-ship – 74 per cent – even though they don’t pay the extra 17-cent-a-litre gas tax charged by TransLink in Metro Van-couver.

Insights West vice-president Mario Can-seco said $1.50 per litre appears to be a psycho-logical level where more people seek ways to cut their fuel consumption.

“We’re seeing people saying it might be better to take the bus this aft er-noon, it might be better to walk or try to bike – essentially not to drive,” he said.

Fift y-fi ve per cent of

poll respondents across B.C. said they’re already driving less than usual, while 27 per cent said they’re walking more and 19 per cent said they’re taking public transit more. (Twenty-six per cent in the Lower Mainland said they’re taking transit more.)

While it’s helpful that gas prices tend to spike in spring and sum-mer, when the weather is more conducive to walking or biking than December, Canseco be-lieves that’s coincidence.

“Th ey’re not doing it because it’s lovely out-side, they’re doing it be-cause they’re feeling the pain when they gas up.”

Th e poll also uncov-ered refueling habits of those surveyed.

It may not sound like

a winning strategy, but a large number of respon-dents – 38 per cent – said they’ve refueled with less gas than usual lately, pos-sibly in hopes of lower prices the next time.

Just over half said they buy at gas stations that give them loyalty reward points, while far fewer respondents said they use a station close to home or work (20 per cent), or they buy at any station when they run low (10 per cent.)

Sixteen per cent said they don’t own a car.

Th e poll also found widespread belief that gas taxes are too high, that B.C. stations charge more than ones else-where in Canada, and 91 per cent said they believe gas stations take advan-tage of motorists by rais-

ing prices just before along weekend.

“Th ere’s a high num-ber of people who lookat the service stations asgougers,” Canseco said.

Just four per cent saidthey’ve considered sell-ing their vehicle andswitching to a more fueleffi cient one.

Canseco said he be-lieves that will changeover time as electric carprices come down.

Th e poll didn’t ask themore than 800 respon-dents if they regularlydrive to the U.S. to refuelwith cheaper gas.

But Canseco said aprevious poll on cross-border shopping habitsshowed gas savings isone of the top reasonswhy Lower Mainlandresidents frequentlyhead south.

He might look friendly enough… but if Marcus Zerr invites you to try out some arm wrestling, you’ll probably want to change the subject.

Zerr fi nished second in his age and weight class at the Canadian National Arm Wrestling Champi-onships in Charlottetown PEI, on the Victoria Day weekend.

With his weight training and abil-ity, there aren’t many locals who would have a chance — though some of his eight kids like to try.

“All of my sons take me on,” said Zerr, with a confi dent grin. “Kel-len has beaten me once. He’s a little lighter than me — and I arm-wres-tled aft er a workout… but we won’t tell him that!”

At age 54, Zerr competed in the Grand Masters 80+ Kg class — which should have topped out at 90 Kg — but also included two heavy-weights.

“Th e biggest guy was 375 pounds,” said Zerr. “Th e organizers decided to mix the 240+ pound weight class with mine. Th ere were only two guys in that class and nine in mine.

“I fi nished second in my weight class (and fourth in the combined). Th ey’re going to give me credit for second, so if I place fi rst or second next year, that will entitle me to go to the Worlds.”

Wrestling the heavyweights was a daunting challenge, he said.

“You still have to have the tech-nique side of it — but the weight helps a lot,” explained Zerr.

Arm wrestlers compete stand-ing up and can shift their feet and lean their bodies to gain an advan-tage. Th e bench has a handle for each wrestler to hold onto with the free hand and a pad to keep the wrestling-elbow on. Tight strings on each side help the referees deter-mine when a win has been made. If a wrestler’s arm is forced onto the string, the match is over.

Zerr said he missed a fi rst-place win in his class because of a techni-cal error against Darrell Steff enson of Manitoba.

“I had him within an inch and a half of the rope and I lift ed my el-bow off the pad. You’re allowed two fouls and that was my second.”

To get a better feel for the sport, I asked Zerr to walk me through a safe-and-slow version of a match. We knelt and used a bench at the rec centre’s Refl exions gym, where Zerr does his weight training.

“One ref will line up your hands and one more ref watches for square shoulders. And you can’t cross the centre line with your hand or shoul-ders,” explained Zerr.

Before the referee lets the match begin, he’s holding onto the clasped hands of the competitors.

“You’re fi ghting for the best grip and fi nger position,” said Zerr. “Who’s going to control the hand from the start?

“Th ere can be a lot of complain-

ing and bickering (before the start),” he added. “I’m told that I’m pretty generous… I guess that comes from inexperience.

“Two typical moves are a sharp hook or a roll over the top — or a combination of both,” said Zerr, as he showed me with a deft twist of our wrists. I immediately saw how I would be in trouble, even against a less-muscular opponent.

But there is hope for losers.“Defensively, if you are losing,

you move close to the centre line and turn your hand around,” said Zerr. “If you’re getting really bent, you go down with your upper body. Your core is as tight and tense as you can get it.”

In his younger days, Zerr was a weight lift er and competitive cyclist in Saskatchewan — and he won a provincial arm wrestling title.

“Th en I got married and raised a family.”

As his kids have gotten older, there has been a little more time to

get back into fi tness and sport, so hehits the gym for three or four one-hour sessions per week.

“It’s mostly upper-body,” he said.I get a cardio work out, too, becausemy sets are very intense. One is thebicep curls. On the cables, I get upto 225 pounds and eight reps.

“Th at’s a maximum right there.I try to keep most of the reps be-tween fi ve and seven. I’m going forstrength and not body mass.

“I try to be explosive on my wayup and slow on the way down,” heexplained, saying this makes it likean arm wrestling match. “If you’regetting beaten, it’s a slow pull-down… unless the guy’s a real mon-ster.”

For the technical side, Zerr takesa long drive each month to trainwith the Vancouver Arm WrestlingClub, where he wrestles and gets lotsof coaching tips.

Next up is the SummerlandOpen, on June 7. Zerr won a silvermedal there two years ago.

Both have health clearances (eyes, hips, elbows). 2 very curly black fe-males avail. We have bred this lit-ter special to create the perfect family companion (intelligent, gen-tle, easy to train, always willing to please, happy indoors and out-doors, good with children and ani-mals, low to no shed). These pup-pies will not need a heavy hand to train. They are sweet, kind and sen-sitive puppies. They will be very similar in looks and in nature to the Golden Doodle only smaller, calmer and will mature sooner. We are a 4H (agility, obedience, showman-ship) family and our dogs are a part of our home and life and we wish the same for our puppies. Please consider the time and commitment needed to raise a dog and you will have our support and guidance for life. Pups will have shots and de-worming. Reduced to $850.

Welcome to all participants

attending theFraternal Order

of Eagles2014 Provincial

Convention

05/14H_P29

Eagles convention in HopeHope is hosting its fi rst pro-

vincial convention for the Fra-ternal Order of Eagles June 4-8.

Hundreds of delegates and visitors will be in town over the four-day event, staying at local motels and campsites. Mem-bers will discuss what’s going on around the province, pass reso-lutions and elect new provincial offi cers.

“It’s an honour and a lot of work, but there’s a lot of money that’s going to come into the community,” said long-time Eagles member Allan Derick.

Th ere are many meetings and events planned throughout the convention, including a few open to the public. Local resi-dents are encouraged to attend the Meatloaf tribute dinner and dance with Steve and Celeste on June 5. Th ere will also be a karaoke night on June 6 and a performance by Crossfi re on June 7.

Th e Hope Eagles have a long history of helping people in the community. Th e club offi cially formed on July 27, 1947 in Chill-iwack, under the leadership of fi rst worthy president Harry J. Campbell. Most of the offi cers at that time were from Hope and travelled 47 kilometres to Chilliwack for every meeting. Over the early years, the local aerie has supported numer-ous sports teams, held regular dances, ran bingos, whist tour-naments, picnics, Christmas parties and built fl oats for Can-ada Day parades. Th e club also sponsored “A Dramatic Show,” which came from New West-minster and featured singers and local dancers of all ages. In the late 1940s, they raffl ed a car and $60 worth of clothes, either men’s or women’s that could be purchased at a local shop. Th e aerie also donated to the Chilli-

wack fl ood victims in July 1948 and assisted in building cabins at Cultus Lake for the United Church Summer Camp.

In 1954, the president from Hope wrote the Grand Aerie ad-vising them that unless the aerie chapter was brought to Hope, it would close due to a lack of in-terest and attendance by Chilli-wack members. Th e Grand Aerie granted the permission and the charter was brought to Hope for the “good of the or-der.” About 40 members from Hope bought an old house on the corner of Fort Street and Fourth Avenue, tore down the walls and built a small hall. Th ey ran weekly bingo games, held raffl es, and had a building fund. By 1974, the club outgrew its hall and the president suggested that a larger building was re-quired. Th e aerie sold deben-tures, borrowed from the local bank and relied on volunteers to build a new hall adjacent to the old one. John Kellum, in particular, fronted $15,000 for the new hall, while other mem-bers bought debentures rang-ing from $500-$2,000. Within about three years, all the loans were paid back. Th e old hall now contains a modern kitchen and is home to the ladies aux-iliary, which was instituted on Sept. 20, 1975.

Th e Hope aerie is responsible for starting the British Colum-bia Cancer Fund, the school patrol program, and Eagles Vis-itation, an annual event that in-volves members visiting all the aeries in the Lower Mainland, with meals and music provided by the hosting aerie at no cost.

Aerie membership in Hope has doubled in the last few years. Th e club currently has 227 members as well as 87 la-dies auxiliary members.

“Th e purpose of the Eagles is people helping people,” said Hope aerie president Herb Smith. “We get together and raise funds for diff erent chari-ties.”

In addition to fundraising for community groups, the la-dies auxiliary members prepare food for bingo and meat draw events, catering events, and funeral teas. Th e Hope Eagles host bingo on Monday and Fri-day nights, karaoke every Fri-day night, meat draws on Sun-days, and swap/craft fairs on the last Sunday of the month. Th ey also hold monthly dinners in the lounge, which is open seven days a week to members and guests. In addition, the Eagles hall can be rented for private events.

Hope Eagles add a ladies auxiliary and officers are installed at a ceremony in September 1975. Officers were selected from the charter members. From left to right: (Front row) Donna Witleg, treasurer; Irene Pelly, treasurer; Barbara Kellum, vice-president; Pot Rolufs, president; Audrey Merkle, conductor; Elizabeth Staley, chaplain; Nancy Eddie, post president. (Back row) Margaret Hamilton, inside guard; Audrey Houston, outside guard; Norma Demmitt, trustee; Silvio Kiepillos, trustee; Audrey Hilts, trustee.

Hope Eagles president John Kellum decided their mascot was just a little shaggy and got out the scissors in June 1975 and gave the once-bald eagle a trim. At this time, there’s no trace of the culprits who glued on the wig.

is a value that the Fraternal Order of Eagles has held for more than a century. It's a statement that guides the charitable actions to help members and their families as well as fellow Canadians affected by illness, injury or catastrophe.

At this time we would like to extend a HUGE thank you to the citizens and businesses of Hope and area for their ongoing support of our efforts over the years. This support is what allows us to continue our work for local charities.
