Two more candidates are plan-ning to add their names to Novem-ber’s municipal election ballot.
Glen Ogren, owner of Hope Brewing Company, has announced his intentions to run for the com-munity’s top job, while Dusty Smith is seeking a seat at the council table.
Having moved to the community 10 years ago to raise a family, Ogren believes he has a vested interest in seeing Hope thrive.
“Hope has so much potential. What we started with the branding
has started to see that path of poten-tial come to some kind of fruition. It’s my belief that we need to con-tinue along that road,” said Ogren. “We’re a gateway to the rest of British Colum-bia. I think we really have to look at what we can do as a community to be the best place for people to learn about the rest of the province and also how we can keep people here in Hope to enjoy the ameni-ties that we have.”
Ogren would also like to see bet-ter communication and collabora-
tion between the district and com-munity partners, including the Fraser Valley Regional District, to
further the initiatives out-lined in the Offi cial Com-munity Plan.
“It’s to get out in front of the OCP and actually im-plement it that I don’t see,” he said. “I don’t think we’re pushing. I think we really have to look at implement-ing that along with the branding and looking for economic development.”
In addition to pursuing business opportunities that capitalize on the
community’s geographical locationat the hub of fi ve highways, Ogrenfeels Hope needs to be more pre-pared for economic development.
“If you want economic invest-ment in your community, you’vegot to be ready for it,” he said. “Ithink we’ve started to see it with theservices going out to Flood-Hopethrough the Flying J, but I think weneed to continue to build on that.”
In addition to being a businessowner in Hope for fi ve years, Ogrenis a member and former presidentof the Hope and District Chamberof Commerce.

Body of missing man foundVikki Hopes Black Press
Th e body of an Abbotsford man who was last seen in Hope on Aug. 24 has been found.
Tim Rutherford, 46, was found in the Jones Lake area by search and rescue teams on Sunday evening, confi rms friend Angie Korkowski.
She said it appears that Ruther-ford hit a soft shoulder while driv-ing his Ford Explorer SUV in an off -road area, and the vehicle rolled about 200 feet. Rutherford had been camping in the Jones Lake area near Hope since mid-August and was last seen by a camp ranger at about 1 p.m. on Aug. 24, when he was parked at the Jones Lake pull-out near the Highway 1 exit 153. Rutherford had been working with Abbotsford’s Joshua House recov-ery ministry, for which Korkowski
is executive director, when he quit his job on July 28. Korkowski said Rutherford indicated he was going to go camping, and he spent the fi rst half of August at Rolley Lake in Mission before moving to the Jones Lake area. He was keeping in touch with friends every couple of days, but they grew worried when they didn’t hear from him aft er Aug. 21 and could not reach him on his cellphone. Korkowski, her hus-band, and a friend went searching for Rutherford on Friday, Aug. 29 and reported him missing to Hope RCMP when they found his camp-site but no sign of him or his vehi-cle. Hope RCMP issued a news re-lease on Sept. 2 about Rutherford’s disappearance. Korkowski said a search and rescue team was called in by RCMP on Sunday, Sept. 7, and he was found late that evening. She
said he will be deeply missed by therecovery community, who has lost a“wonderful man.”
“Tim touched so many lives,helped so many people with theirrecovery. He was passionate andkind. He was like a brother to mein my darkest days … I’m just gladwe brought him home,” Korkowskisaid.
Rutherford is listed on the JoshuaHouse website as a house facilita-tor. His biography indicates that heturned to alcohol and drugs at anearly age to escape an abusive past,but he had been clean and sobersince 2006.
“Joshua House has allowed meto use my God given gift s here. I’venever felt so at peace and content asI do now,” he stated in the write-up.
Details on Rutherford’s memorialservice have not yet been fi nalized.

He’s also attended B.C. Chamber of Com-
merce meetings on be-half of the community.
“I want to give peo-
ple something to vote for,” said Ogren.
“You might not agree with my vision, you might not agree with what I said, you might not agree with my style or you might not agree with anything that I’ve done in the past. But I want people to vote for something as opposed to against something.”
Being the youngest person to an-nounce his c a n d i d a c y, Smith is hop-ing to bring a different outlook to the council table.
H a v i n g grown up in the com-munity and g r a d u a t e d from Hope Secondary School, the 25-year-old wants to see the community grow. Smith is currently a volunteer firefight-er, member of Hope Motorsports Group and president of the Hope Adult Hockey League. He is also the shop foreman at Silver Skagit H.D. Mechani-cal.
“Too many people want to bark orders
and say things shouldand shouldn’t be done,and it’s time for some-body to step up to theplate that’s younger,”he said.
“I feel pretty strongabout the stuff thathappens in this com-munity. So I figured,why not put a youngervoice in there too.”
While he believes it’stoo early to define spe-
cific priori-ties, Smith isfocussed onp r o m o t i n gmore busi-ness andliving wagejobs in thecommunity.He also feelsthere needsto be morecollaborationat the council
table and in the com-munity.
“Everyone needs tocome together on thesame page and feelstrongly about whatthey’re doing as a may-or and council,” saidSmith.
“I think council alsoneeds to communicatebetter with the publicabout what’s going onwith different projects,and if they’re tax-basedor grant-funded.”

B.C.’s striking teach-ers were expected to vote yesterday (Sept. 10) on the union’s proposal to take their long-running dispute with the prov-ince to binding arbitra-tion.
B.C. Teachers’ Federa-tion president Jim Iker says the union is willing to send not only its wage and benefi t demands but its proposal for class size and special needs sup-port to an independent arbitrator.
Th e BCTF wants $225 million a year to im-prove classroom condi-tions, spent only on new teachers, as an interim
solution while a court challenge is heard. Th e government has bud-geted $75 million a year, some of which goes to teaching assistants who belong to the Canadian Union of Public Em-ployees.
Th e B.C. government rejected arbitration on the weekend aft er it was presented Friday by Iker, as the strike went into a second week of the new school year. Education Minister Peter Fass-bender said he would not hand the budget im-plications of a union set-tlement over to a third party.
Fassbender reiterated that position Monday,
calling the move “a ploy” by the union.
“Arbitration is not something this govern-ment is going to consid-er,” he said.
Iker said results of the vote would be avail-able last night. A yes vote will give certainty to the union’s position and binding arbitration is the “easiest way” to get schools open again, he said.
NDP leader John Hor-gan also called on the government Monday to make the “unprecedent-ed” move to accept ar-bitration. Horgan said if
the government is secure in its belief its wage off er is fair, it should have no concern about the re-sults.
“We’re in uncharted territory, where we’ve had the longest strike in B.C. history, and it’s time we put an end to it,” Hor-gan said.
Asked if he would support raising taxes to pay for a new deal with the province’s 40,000 public school teachers, Horgan said the budget has contingency funds to cover unexpected costs.
“If it was good enough for doctors, it should be
good enough for teach-ers,” he said, referring to a 2002 arbitration that resulted in $400 million in increased doctor fees.
NDP education critic Rob Fleming said an essential service rul-ing by the Labour Rela-tions Board to reopen schools isn’t likely to off er a quick solution. Th e board views the fall strike as separate from the long teacher work-to-rule campaign and two weeks of closed schools last June, and so far neither side has ap-plied for such a ruling, he said.

Th e annual Terry Fox run/walk in Hope is being held in a new location this year.
Residents are encouraged to run, walk or cycle the fi ve-kilometre route through the scenic area around the air-port.
“We chose the airport be-cause it’s an area we know is popular for walking and it’s more accessible for everyone,” said Mandy Arbuckle, assis-tant manger of Recreation, Culture and Airpark Services. “I think it’s a great opportu-nity to get together and raise funds for a good cause and a good organization. We’ve al-ready had people signing up this year who are new to the community.”
Th e run/walk kicks off at 10 a.m., with registration at 9:30 a.m. Participants can complete the loop around the airport as many times as they want since the event runs un-til 2 p.m. Th ere will also be
a paid barbecue, music, and kids games on site.
Terry Fox was diagnosed with bone cancer in his right
leg in 1977 and had his leg amputated 15 centimetres above the knee. While in hos-pital, Fox was so overcome by
the suff ering of other cancer patients that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research.
Fox’s Marathon of Hope took place in 1980 with the simple objective of inform-ing Canadians about the im-portance of fi nding a cure for cancer. He ran an average of 42 kilometres every day for 143 days, but was forced to end his run on Sept. 1, 1980 when cancer spread to his lungs. Fox passed away on June 28, 1981 at the age of 22.
Th is year marks the 34th annual Terry Fun Run. To date, the Terry Fox Founda-tion has raised more than $650 million worldwide for cancer research.
Pledge forms for the local run/walk can be picked up from the Hope recreation cen-tre, Blue Moose Coff ee House, and Owl Street Café. Dona-tions can also be dropped off at the airport on Sept. 14.
For more information, con-tact the recreation centre at 604-869-2304.
Teacher vote ‘a ploy,’ Fassbender says
Thirty-three people participated in last year’s Terry Fox Run in Hope, which raised $1,763.50 for the Terry Fox Foundation. This year’s event takes place Sept. 14 in a new location at the Hope airport.

Living in Canada, we don’t consider bugs as part of our daily diet but the United Nations reports that over 2 billion people worldwide supplement their diets with insects. Insects are actually quite nutritious being high in protein, fat and minerals. For example, caterpillars have more protein than beef. (Now if we can just get over the “icky” feeling of insect consumption)
Sometimes visiting your doctor, you are given a lot of information and it can be hard to keep it all straight. At the end of the visit,
try this: repeat back the main instructions your doctor has given you to ensure you got it right. It helps the doctor and it will certain make things clearer for you. Your doctor won’t mind.
More women are having their rst baby later in life compared to their counterparts of a generation ago. There were nine times more rst births to women over 35 than there were 40 years ago. On the plus side, these children seem to fare better due to better economic security. On the negative side, older women are at greater risk of

Education Minister Peter Fassbender says the province may take extraordinary steps to ensure senior second-ary students’ school year is not cut short by the teachers strike.
Th at could mean add-ing days to the school calendar later in the year, he said, to ensure Grade 12 students in particular complete their courses and get all the marks they need.
“Do you put it on the end of the year? Do you take it out of Spring Break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fass-bender said.
“It’s going to depend on how long this drags out. Whatever length of time it takes to get this settled, we will do ev-erything we can to make sure the school year is kept whole for those stu-dents.”
It’s unclear how the government would fi -nance adding extra days of classes later when all
of the $12 million per day in strike savings may be consumed by the province’s off er of $40-a-day payments to parents.
“If they were accumu-lating the savings, that would be one thing – they would have a fund,” Vancouver School Board chair Patti Bacchus said.
“But they’re giving away the budget right now to parents that would be otherwise available to pay for that.”
As of Monday, 74 per cent of parents of eligible public school children under 13 had signed up for the $40 payments, which are expected to be made as a lump sum af-ter the strike ends.
Other costs that the province continues to incur while schools are closed include salaries for school administra-tion as well as support staff with other unions that are eligible to be compensated for pay lost for not crossing teacher picket lines.
Support staff costs could hit $5 million a day once all their union lo-cals ratify new contracts.
Education ministry offi cials said school dis-tricts would be consulted on any potential changes to the school year to mit-igate the strike.
But Bacchus said she’s heard nothing so far and predicted it would be dis-ruptive to families that have booked vacations and made other commit-ments far in advance.
“It’s not going to be easy,” she said, noting changes would also re-quire exemptions from School Act requirements.
Talk of calendar ad-justments is another sign of possible long-term implications from the strike, even though it has only disrupted the fi rst few days of the new school year.
Parents have scram-bled for limited space for child care, day camps, tutors and even private school placements for their children.
Stepping up to meet the demand have been independent schools and, increasingly, public school teachers no lon-ger drawing a regular paycheque who are ad-
vertising “tutor” servicesonline.
“I work for the Sur-rey School District and Iam willing to tutor yourchild in the comfort ofyour own home,” readsone Craigslist post froman elementary schoolteacher.
Distance learningthrough independentonline schools is an-other option. Th e B.C.Online School run outof Kelowna by Heri-tage Christian Schoolshas been swamped withthree times the normalnumber applicationsfor distributed learningfrom students across theprovince as a result of thestrike.
“We are overloadedwith kids coming to us,particularly those inGrade 12 who want toget a particular courseand get their require-ments for university,”said superintendentGreg Bitgood.
Th e online school,which is half funded bythe province, instructed3,400 students in itssummer school – threetimes the normal num-ber – and turned awayanother 6,000. Demandhas surged again nowthat the strike has spilledinto September andpushed back the sched-uled start of classes. Bit-good is weighing wheth-er to hire more teachersin response. But it’s riskybecause a deal or govern-ment legislation couldsend teachers back towork and students backto regular classes, saidBitgood, who empha-sized he also wants thepublic school shutdownto end quickly. Th ere’sonly four such indepen-dent schools that off erdistributed learning tostudents in the publicsystem, Bitgood said,adding “there’s no way”the industry can meetthe demand created bythe strike.

Hope SAR recruitment drive this weekend
Hope Search and Rescue is in need of more volunteers due to declining membership over the last several years.
Th e team is launching a fall recruitment drive this Saturday (Sept. 13) to add new blood to the group.
“It’s a great thing to get involved in,” said HSAR president Barry Gannon, pointing out that members learn a number of skill sets when they join the team.
HSAR is currently looking to fi ll eight to 12 spots to bring the total number of volunteers to 30. Currently, there’s 19 members. When the numbers drop, the team usually relies on nearby SAR teams for mutual aid during a callout.
“We like to ensure we have at least 10 people at any given time that can respond to a search or rescue,” said Gan-non.
Th e team is also hold-ing an open house in-formation session at the Hope Search and Res-cue base on Sept. 13,
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Current members of the SAR team will de-liver a short presenta-tion, answer questions, and accept applications in person.
Gannon said there’s a couple of things inter-ested applicants should keep in mind: the more outdoor skill sets the better, and members
need to have some of their own equipment. Hope SAR does sup-ply equipment aft er recruits go through the year-long ground search and rescue train-ing.
In addition to the search and rescue com-ponent of Hope SAR, the team does vehicle extrication on the fi ve
major highways passing through the commu-nity, making it one of the busiest teams in the province.
Th e deadline for ap-plications is Sept. 30, with interviews to fol-low shortly aft er.
Applications can be submitted online at http://hopesar.vr-sar.org/apply

Hope residents are encouraged to help with building a new trail in the community this weekend. The “Fort Trail” will connect Kawkawa Lake Bridge to Fort Street, giving residents a wide gravel path through Coquihalla River Park (behind the Sports Bowl). The trail will pass through beautiful coastal forest, and new gravel surfacing will make the trail more friendly to bikes, strollers, and hikers. River boulders will be used to define the trail’s edges, giving it an attractive finish. Volunteers are needed to shovel and rake gravel and move boulders (bring tools if you can). Volunteers of all ages are welcome Saturday and Sunday, starting at 9 a.m. both days. Meet at the junction of Fort Street and Seventh Avenue in Hope. To register for either day (or even a few hours), phone Hope Mountain Centre at 604-869-3745 or email [email protected]
Trail volunteers needed
All members of the support group are equally respected and valued. The group is based on people talking as equals. It is run by trained facilitators and is, in no way, a replacement of counseling, therapy or physician orders.

Factory model fading for schools
Th e B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s latest demand, for binding arbitra-tion on selected pocketbook issues of its members, is going nowhere.
Th is follows months of the union’s insistence on mediation. First a B.C. Supreme Court judge met with both sides and walked away. Th en the BCTF’s preferred choice, Vince Ready, agreed that mediation won’t fi x the current version of the mess he last examined in 2007.
BCTF president Jim Iker an-nounced the arbitration gambit on Friday, in one of the webcasts he uses to rally the union’s exhausted
membership. Education Minister Peter Fassbender replied that with fi ve minutes’ notice to the govern-ment’s chief negotiator and lacking specifi cs on what would be subject to arbitration, the proposal would forfeit the government’s mandate to control costs.
“Th is government will not raise taxes in order to provide a settle-ment to one union that does not re-fl ect what the other public sector has done,” Fassbender said.
In short, there will be a negotiated settlement, eventually. Th e union chose to begin the strike, and now must fi nd a way to end it. Th e gov-ernment’s position in this dispute is unlike any of the many that pre-ceded it. And it points the way to an evolution of education that cannot be stopped.
Th e announcement of a $40-a-
day payment for days lost during a fall strike for children under 13 was greeted with scorn by the BCTF and its echo chambers. Parents won’t be bribed, they want school, not day-care, it’s an insult, went the refrain.
By this week, nearly 80 per cent of eligible parents had enrolled, faced with pickets at their schools and real and mounting child care and tutor-ing costs. Th e union executive said members who are parents should refuse the money.
Some B.C. teachers have begun advertising tutoring services online. With distance learning and other online education options expand-ing in all 60 public school districts, the digital revolution is unfolding quickly.
Th e B.C. government made a couple of announcements in April, one about moving to digital versions
of textbooks and another about a digital merger of 1,600 school librar-ies with public and post-secondary schools. Growth of options acceler-ates.
Largely drowned out by the noise of 1970s-style industrial labour strife, the B.C. public school cur-riculum is being refashioned for this new age. Among its goals is to “allow teachers and students the fl exibility to personalize their learning expe-rience to better meet each student’s individual strengths and needs.”
One of B.C.’s early models for self-directed learning is Th omas Haney secondary in Maple Ridge, where senior high students are expected to make their own way through course work, learning to manage their own time.
It was here that the fi rst couple of Grade 12 students showed up last
week to begin making up for losttime from the strike that set in lastspring. Self-directed study has be-come a crash course.
Private schools are also swampedwith applications from Grade 12 stu-dents looking for particular coursesthey will need by next year.
In the short term, Fassbender saysthe lost strike days will likely have tobe restored to the school schedule.
“Do you put it on at the end of theyear? Do you take it out of springbreak? Do you take it out of Christ-mas holidays? My staff are looking atall of the options,” Fassbender said.
In the longer term, the whole fac-tory model of school is on the wayout.

OpinionPublished at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press
The wide gulf that dividesAny hope that students would soon be back in school ended last Wednesday
with the duelling press conferences of Premier Christy Clark and BCTF presi-dent Jim Iker.
Th e reality of empty classrooms and quiet hallways in what should be the start of a new and exciting school year failed to soft en the intransigence demonstrated by both sides in this dispute. To say they’re not on the same page would be gener-ous. Th ey’re not even in the same book. Th at this dispute will lurch to some kind of conclusion is certain. Th e question is what that reality will look like.
Th ere is a fundamental diff erence in the way the two sides believe education should be run in this province. It is a rift that dates back to 1998, when then NDP Premier Glen Clark gave the BCTF control over class size and composition in exchange for wage concessions. It was a deal struck between the government and the union – and one roundly denounced by school boards across the province because, they argued, it deprived them of authority to manage their own school districts. Th e agreement set rigid caps on teacher-student ratios and class com-position. But what might sound good on paper, trustees complained, meant that a new teacher had to be hired if a classroom exceeded the limit by even one stu-dent. Making matters worse, there were insuffi cient funds provided by govern-ment, leaving school districts with no choice but to gut their non-instructional staff to avoid a defi cit (something they cannot do).
So when the Liberals swept to power, one of the fi rst things they did was strip that language from the contract. If decisions about class size and composition were to be made, they argued, they should be done at the local level and with a degree of fl exibility that kept those decisions manageable.
What they failed to check was the legality of the move.Th e issue remains unresolved aft er the B.C. Supreme Court ruled the govern-
ment had acted unconstitutionally. It’s still before the courts. However, what’s in question is the way government removed the provision from the last contract, not that it can’t be renegotiated in a future contract.
So here we sit, with the BCTF unwilling to surrender a contract gain its mem-bers paid for (and the courts have said was constitutionally valid), and a govern-ment unwilling to return to a position it believes was fundamentally fl awed.
Granted, there are a host of other issues that are keeping the two sides apart. But the biggest is the ideological shadow over who should control classroom con-ditions: the employer, or the employee. And an amicable agreement on that is unlikely to come any time soon.

I have been somewhat remiss in writing this let-ter of thanks to an anon-ymous person. Allow me to give some background and explanation.
My family and I have been summer residents at Lake of the Woods for 60 years. During that time, we have been victims of numerous incidents of theft and vandalism (at least once a year and fre-quently more than that) but persist in believing this little “jewel of B.C.”
is well worth any trouble. I was taught as a child,
and have passed on the tradition to my children and grandchildren, that we are caretakers here and must safeguard this natural treasure.
We have been clean-ing up the trash and re-fuse left by the careless, unthinking “others” for this past 60 years – some years have been notice-ably better than others. Aug. 6 of this year was one of the bad times.
As I rowed around the lake at the rock slide nearest the highway, I found that someone had collected a large amount of garbage into one heap, and very kindly dropped the whole thing into about 10 feet of wa-ter – too deep for me to retrieve until the water recedes a lot more. Th ere were potato chip bags, bottles, cans, plastic bags, etc.- even a pair of wom-en’s high-heeled shoes! I was very angry at such
stupidity, but could do nothing.
Th e next day I re-turned to the lake and was told by my son that he had witnessed some-thing rather wonderful. A lone swimmer had been out that day and obviously was as angered by the thoughtlessness of others as we are. My son
watched as the man re-peatedly dove down deep and brought up the trash. It was put on display on a log – this swimmer had no way of taking it away, but put it somewhere that it could be retrieved by others. According to my son, this man’s disgust was patently obvious. We got our trash bags,
bagged it all up and took it to the public turn-off trash bins.
Th is letter is to say a huge thank you to the person who spent his time and energy cleaning up someone else’s mess. If not for my family, the lone swimmer and a sadly small number of re-sponsible people, Lake of
the Woods, probably the best swimming lake in our province, would be a morass of garbage.
Please people! You come to enjoy our pris-tine little lake – take your garbage out with you, so your children and grand-children will be able to have the same privilege.

Negotiations between Christy Clark’s government and the BCTF have not led to an agreement. Th is is due, in part, to the BC Liberal’s insistence on having the right to override an unfavourable deci-sion at the upcoming October court case on class/size composition. Rather than “letting the courts decide,” as Education Minister Fassbender has repeatedly said, the government wants to make sure that they control the outcome.
To this end, they have introduced Ar-
ticle E 80 to the bargaining table. It out-lines inferior class size and composition provisions and then states: Th ese provi-sions supersede and replace all previous articles that addressed class size, compo-sition, and staffi ng levels.
So, if the court in October restores the superior language that was stripped from the teachers’ contract by the Liber-als in 2002, the BC Liberals intend the court ruling to be superseded by the provisions outlined in E 80. Th ese provi-
sions, in eff ect, strip the language from the contract once again. For our educa-tion system, this means larger classes, more special needs students in a class, fewer counsellors, librarians and so on.
In negotiating terms, this article is known as a “poison pill” — an article so damaging the other side cannot agree to it. Th is impasse has convinced the BCTF that it is time to move to the next step. Binding arbitration would resolve the dispute between teachers and the gov-
ernment and schools would re-open. Contact Premier Christy Clark ([email protected]), Education Minister Fassbender ([email protected]) and MLA Laurie Th roness ([email protected]) to encourage them to “Say Yes To Arbitration.” Th ank you. We need your help in getting our students and teachers back to school.

Teachers’ Association
To the woman who drove by the picketing teachers:
Last week there was a post on our school Facebook page, asking for par-ents and students to come out and walk the picket line with teachers. Just for an hour or so, to show sup-port. I went to work early so I could take the hour.
Not many people came, but it was a week day, and kind of last minute, so I wasn’t surprised. It was nice to see a few moms there with their kids. Th e school is in a residential area with little traffi c compared to other sites. As I was talking to the teachers I be-gan to notice something. Each time a vehicle approached the group, the ex-pressions on the faces of the teachers
became identical - it wasn’t fear (aft er all, these are elementary school teach-ers and it takes a lot to scare them), it was something more like trepidation.
Some people waved and smiled, some people looked straight ahead, some people turned away. Th en there was you. You were driving too fast for me to get your licence plate number but I did see the face of your toddler hanging out of the front seat of your vehicle. I didn’t hear what you yelled; someone told me about that later. I did hear the tone of your voice and I got a glimpse of the triumphant look on your face.
I have some advice for you. You are entitled to your opinion. It is obvious that you don’t support the teachers.
Th at being the case, you could have chosen to express yourself by simply driving by or by stopping to speak to the group. You could have written a letter to your MLA or your school board trustees.
Instead, you chose a cowardly taunt and no doubt took pleasure in brag-ging about it later. I guess you got what you wanted. However, I keep thinking about your child.
At some point, that child will enter the public school system. It’s possible that you have other children, and per-haps they are already students. Your children will reap the benefi ts gar-nered by those resolute women stand-ing on the curb. You will depend on them to make sure that your child has
a safe, nurturing, eff ective learning environment, where they will learn that everyone needs to be treated in a respectful manner. You will come to them if your child complains of be-ing bullied or is falling behind. Th ey will do everything in their power to ensure the success of your child and of every other child.
Do you know what they won’t do? Th ey won’t scream profanities at you. Even though they know who you are, they will focus on your child and look beyond you.
Do you know why they will do that? Because they have class, and right now all they want to do is teach one.

Aaron Pritchett rocks HopeKerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
Canadian country star Aaron Pritchett arrived in Hope on Friday ready to party.
From the moment he jumped on stage to kick off his high-energy show with “Let’s Get Rowdy” and “Light It Up,” he kept fans on their feet throughout the night dancing in front of the Sports Bowl stage.
Having spent several years growing up in North Bend and Boston Bar as a child, Pritchett’s return to Hope was somewhat like a homecoming.
“Lots of time was spent in Hope,” he told the crowd, in between taking sips from his red solo cup. “Cheers Hope. Cheers to Brigade Days. Cheers to you all.”
Pritchett performed a variety of his hits from the last decade which included “Lucky For Me,” “Hell Bent for Buff alo,” “Done You Wrong,” “New Frontier,” “My Way,” “Warm Safe Place,” “Big Wheel,” “Suntan City” and “Boat on the Water.”
Aft er over an hour of entertaining and engaging the crowd, chants of “Hold My Beer” brought Pritchett and his band back on stage to perform one of his most recognizable hits. He broke into a medley of classic rock songs in between his performance of “Hold My Beer,” which included “We Will Rock You,” “Living on a Prayer,” “Summer of 69,” and “We’re Not Going to Take It.”
With numerous top hits, music videos, tours with Alan Jackson, Toby Keith and Brooks & Dunn, Pritch-ett has gained a signifi cant following across Canada. Over his career he has earned many accolades and awards, including a Canadian Country Music Associa-tion award for Independent Male Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year in 2007 for “Hold My Beer.”
Th e night’s entertainment kicked off with a set from emerging country band Me & Mae. Fronted by Shawn Meehan and Jacky Mae, the group pumped the crowd up with singles from their debut album, including “What Cha Wearin’” and “Tailgate Party,” as well as a few original covers.
Hope’s Roger Dalton then took the stage with leg-endary guitarist Jerry Doucette. Known for his gritty music with punchy lyrics, Dalton worked the stage with a high-energy set that included songs like “Hell Songs Like Heaven,” “Lucky I’m a Guy,” and “Dirty.”

Agassiz teams shine at weekend ball tournament
Using a little tongue action to guide his throw, Kolby Skalicky of the Chilliwack Outlaws delivers the first pitch of the Brigade Days two-pitch tournament, Friday evening at Sixth Avenue Park. The Outlaws squared off against the A-Town Ballers of Agassiz. The Ballers finished second to the Agassiz Shufflers in the 14-team event.
BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD
Sports
Barry StewartHope Standard
The game of two-pitch baseball came back to town for theBrigade Days weekend, attracting 14 teams from down-val-ley and a few from local or formerly-local players.
“That’s two more than last year,” said organizer Jeff Smithon Tuesday. “We could have done more but we need morefacilities for that.”
Games started at 6 p.m. on Friday, using two diamonds atSixth Avenue Park and one at C.E. Barry School. DiamondNo. 1 had the lights on for a second game before the fire-works display kicked off at Sixth Avenue Park.
There were 30 games in total, with teams paying $350 eachfor a four-game guarantee. The top four teams got to playan extra match for the prize money of $350, $250, $150 and$100.
Two-pitch has a history of being self-regulated by volun-teer umpires from other teams but Smith figured he wouldmake things cleaner and simpler by bringing in paid um-pires this year.
“I play slo-pitch in Chilliwack, so I asked Bob Cochrane(slo-pitch umpire) to arrange all of the umps for me. It mademy life a whole lot easier,” said Smith, who played on Chilli-wack’s Filthy Animals team on the weekend.
“My slo-pitch guys aren’t used to some of the two-pitchrules but we’ve taken the rules down to about as easy as youcan get,” explained Smith. “The big adjustment was on acaught fly ball. In two-pitch, it’s a dead ball and everyoneelse gets to go back to the base that they came from.”
In slo-pitch, other runners could get tagged out — or theycould tag up and try to steal a base, as in traditional baseball,he said.
Despite the mixture of slo-pitch, two-pitch and “haven’tplayed in years” players, Smith said the games were relativelyclose.
“Nobody lost all that badly, even though there was no‘mercy rule,’” said Smith, who grew up in Hope but now re-sides in Agassiz. “And there were no injuries that I’m awareof — and I’m a first aid guy.”
“We couldn’t have asked for better weather, either,” add-ed Smith. “Not to complain — but it was even a bit hot outthere!”
In the end, it was Agassiz-based teams that claimed thetop three places and $750 in prize money. Jimmy’s Pub beatthe Hope-based NGAFs in the consolation final and theAgassiz Shufflers edged out the Ballers for first place.
The game of two-pitch got its start in Hope in the early1980s and was very popular until 2007, when only six teamswere registered and the league folded shortly after. Slo-pitchhad a short run of a few years and now the local diamondsare underutilized, though Hope Minor Softball is making acomeback.
Meanwhile — despite its smaller population — Agassizhas kept the game alive.
“I think they had 19 teams this year,” said Smith. “Theyplay from April till just about July.
“Some of the players are from Hope, too. Hope could getit going again — but no one wants to step up and organizeit,” he said.
Smith should know of what he speaks, as he was also theBrigade Days president this year.
“I took it on, on a temporary basis, hoping that someonewould step in… but no one did.”
The rebirth of Hope Minor Softball gave Smith some hopethat the town could rekindle the two-pitch game as well.
“Don’t take it too seriously, though,” he advised. “Just goout there and have some fun.”
