Forty-year-old Hope resident, Byllie Hard-en was killed in a tragic collision, after sud-denly veering off the Highway and striking a tree, which was located in the foliage of the center median, according to preliminary in-vestigative reports and an initial press release statement given by officials.

The fatality occurred on Friday, May 15th, at 4 a.m. The Agassiz RCMP promptly re-sponded to a reported single motor vehicle collision on Highway #1 eastbound and east

of the Popkum Road exit in Chilliwack. Ms. Harden was the only passenger in the

vehicle and sustained serious injuries to her person, which she succumbed to at the scene of the accident.

The cause of the collision has not yet been determined, as police urgently cautioned the May long weekend mototrists to drive with extreme care and to pay attention to others on the road.

“With the excitement of the May long week-end, also comes preventable tragedies on B.C. roads — it is imperative that safe driving is your priority, so everyone reaches their desti-

nations safely,” said Cpl. Ronda Rempel of BC RCMP traffic, in a press release statement to the public, on the advent of the crash.

The investigation is being thoroughly con-tinued with the guidance of the BC Coroner’s service, alongside the Integrated Collision Analyst and Reconstructionist Service.

A memorial service for the victim was held Wednesday, May 20th.

Anyone who has further information, or may have witnessed the collision has been asked to contact the RCMP Fraser Valley Traf-fic Services at 604-702-4039, reference file # 2015-17065.

Station House Project - AdvantageHOPE Report

The Chief Administrative Offi cer presented Council with the Sta-tion House Project Report. It was noted that AdvantageHOPE formed a Steering Committee for this project, members include: Tammy Shields, Stephanie Hooker, Don Wiens, Marg Miller, Ras-mus Sjovold, Jim Dent and Jim Lasser. Ms. Shields noted that vol-unteer labour has enabled the savings for completing this report and seeking grant monies. Also, local contractors and Steering Committee members helped provide cost estimates for the re-port, as well the previous engineer’s report assisted with thisassessment. If Council desires, they can preserve the building to determine a use within the 2014 budgeted funds, or an increase to $200,000 would allow for more of the priority fi xes to be undertaken.Council advised they will look at the benefi ts and fi nancial fea-sibility of the project as a whole. The Committee was asked if they can possibly come up with a cost estimate for a brand new building. It was noted that grant funding is more attractive to restore a historical building.It was agreed that a Committee of the Whole meeting will be held on Monday May 25th, from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. to discuss thisproject more fully.

The boundaries commision saw residents calling vehemently to be re-united with Hope

Nicola Valley residents rally for Hope

News

Black Press

Nicola Valley residents overwhelmingly called for the community of Hope to join their provincial electoral district during a public meeting yesterday.

B.C.’s electoral boundaries commission held its second meeting in Kamloops — this time to take submissions on its pre-liminary report, produced last year after a first round of public consultations.

The commission’s report recommends the province add two new electoral dis-tricts in the Lower Mainland, which would bring the number of MLAs in B.C. to 87.

But, it sees little need for change in the Interior.

The three-person panel headed by chairman Thomas Melnick, a B.C. Su-preme Court justice, recommended no change to the boundaries of Kamloops-

North Thompson. In Kamloops-South Thompson, it wants

to add the Knutsford area, taking it from the Fraser-Nicola riding to the south.

The minor changes, largely amounting to the status quo, brought little or no pub-lic reaction.

Those who attended the public hearing at Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre were largely Nicola Valley resi-dents advocating for Hope to be brought back into the Fraser-Nicola, at one time known as Yale-Lillooet.

“The old Yale-Lillooet riding was ex-tremely good,” said Victor York, a former chief of the Lower Nicola Indian Band who now lives in Spences Bridge, but works in the Nicola Valley.

York said First Nations as far south as Spuzzum are in the same language group as his own Nlaka’pamux.

“A lot of people don’t’ recognize that Hope and Yale — our dialect is almost the same,” he said.

Allen Peters, a longtime hospital worker in the Nicola Valley, dis-missed arguments from some in the Hope area. Complaints pertained to the proximity of linkages for shop-ping and health care, which are squarely in the Fraser Valley.

For the past two elections, Hope has been placed in the Chilliwack-Hope riding of the Upper Fraser Valley.

B.C. axes Agricultural Land Reserve bossTom FletcherBlack Press

Th e B.C. government has "released" Agricultural Land Commission board chair and CEO Richard Bullock, and will pay out his fi ve-year contract until it ends in November, Ag-riculture Minister Norm Let-nick said Th ursday.

Bullock will be replaced ef-fective immediately by long-time Saanich mayor Frank Leonard, who was voted out aft er nearly 20 years in last fall's civic elections.

Letnick said with new regu-lations taking eff ect to manage the Agricultural Land Reserve with two zones, it was time to make a change and let Leonard and the board choose a new CEO.

Th e B.C. government has been at odds with Bullock since early in his fi ve-year term, when he stopped appointing commissioners to six regional panels around the province.

Energy Minister Bill Ben-nett, who pushed through the

two-zone system under the auspices of his "core re-view" of government services, said a year ago thatBullock found the regional panels to be "a pain inthe ass" and preferred to run the commission fromits head offi ce in Burnaby. So the government man-dated regional appointments in legislation along withthe two-zone concept. Leonard takes over as the ALCdeals with a vast Interior "zone two" with relaxedrules for second residences and non-farm activities.

Commissioners are also expected to deal with ap-plications by a British manufacturing giant buyingB.C. Interior farms to turn back to forest for Euro-pean Union carbon credits.

Letnick said the regional panels are up and run-ning, and he doesn't expect the change at the top tocause delays in making decisions on farmland use orexclusion.

‘Minor spill’ in Fraser River fromoverturned boat gets praise for clean-up

News

Jeff NagelBlack Press

A small amount of engine or bilge oil that escaped into the Fraser River from a cap-sized fishing boat at a marina in Richmond triggered a Coast Guard-led pollution response Tuesday.

The light sheen, visible down the river from Shelter Island Marina as far as the Massey Tunnel, was deemed to be non-recoverable, according to Port Metro Vancouver.

It came just over a month after a spill of bunker fuel oil from a grain freighter in Eng-lish Bay fouled beaches and led to strong criticism of the Coast Guard response.

This time, a port patrol ves-sel and Coast Guard hovercraft were on scene quickly by 8 a.m., and absorbent pads and a con-tainment boom were deployed to contain any more leaking contaminants.

Coast Guard spokesman Dan Bate said the "minor spill" came from the 80-foot fishing boat

Western Crusader, which hadempty fuel tanks and had justbeen moved here from Camp-bell River.

Premier Christy Clark, whohad suggested Ottawa mightrelinquish spill response au-thority to B.C. after the April8th Marathassa spill, said Tues-day it appears the Coast Guardperformed at the standard ex-pected this time.

"So far we're satisfied," Clarksaid. "The response, I'm told,was quick, and the spill wasquite small."

2013CCNABLUE

RIBBON

It was 2008 when word fi rst surfaced that B.C. farmland was being bought up to grow trees as a European carbon off set.

Reckitt Benckiser Inc., a British-based global manufacturer of household products such as Lysol spray and Calgon laundry soap, bought 1,500 hectares east of Vanderhoof and planted aspen. For comparison, that’s about the size of downtown Vancouver from 16th and Oak to Stanley Park.

Since tree growing is permitted in the Agricultural Land Reserve, a use in-tended for fruit, ornamental or nursery trees, no permission was needed. And to meet the carbon off set rules of the UN’s International Panel on Climate Change, a 100-year restrictive covenant against harvesting trees was issued by B.C.’s land titles offi ce.

Goodbye farmland.Aft er that deal, the B.C. government changed legislation in 2011 to require

permission from the Agricultural Land Commission to make these covenants valid. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick says he is waiting for that process to be tested. It likely will be soon. Reckitt has bought another 7,000 hectares of cleared farmland from Prince George down through the Cariboo to Quesnel. NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham has been tracking these acquisitions, and she says there are more deals in the works.

Last fall, the Bulkley Nechako Regional District wrote to Victoria Wood, Reckitt Benckiser’s “global head of sustainability,” telling her that “the planting of trees on centrally located and productive agricultural lands is not appropri-ate” and would weaken local farm economies.

Wood responded that the RB Trees project targets only “marginally pro-ductive” land such as pasture, abandoned farms or those that have been up for sale for long periods.

Former Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson raised the issue in the legis-lature in 2008, noting that Crown land near Vanderhoof had been sold for farming, bought by a numbered company and then “fl ipped” for around $1 million to RB Trees. Now mayor of Quesnel, Simpson takes issue with the company’s claims with his usual shyness.

“It’s bull----,” he told me. “Th is isn’t marginal land.”He said it includes prime alfalfa fi elds and historical ranch and forage crop

lands. In one case, neighbours found out about the new use when they saw a helicopter spraying herbicide to prepare the area for tree seedlings.

And where are B.C.’s tireless food security advocates on this dubious scheme?

M e m b e r s of the B.C. Nurses' Union brought a sea of pink um-brellas to the

B.C. legislature Th ursday to call on the B.C. government to honour a provision that requires health authorities to replace absent nurses.

BCNU president Gayle Duteil said 2012 contract provision replacing absent nurses can't be implemented without more registered nurses hired to provide the relief.

"It's a sad fact that we don't have enough nurses to deliver safe care for meeting the staffi ng mandated by our collec-tive agreement," Duteil said. "We don't have enough nurses to backfi ll vacancies, to backfi ll absences, and we don't have enough nurses to meet the daily spikes in acuity."

Th e recent settlement of 1,600 union grievances for staffi ng includes $5 million for specialty nurse training, $1 million to support increased RN staffi ng and $2 million in "grievance settlement funds" paid to nurses aff ected by staffi ng short-ages. Th e staffi ng fund is available to licensed practical nurses who want to upgrade their training. Health Minister Terry

Lake said the interim agreement is a step to-wards renewing the latest BCNU contract, which expired in March 2014.

"We worked through a mediator in the last month or so and came to an agreement, so I think we're in a good place to work to-wards our new contract," Lake said.

"We recognize there are some areas like specialist nursing where we do have chal-lenges, and we have committed some of our funding to recruit and train more spe-cialist nurses, and more community nurses as well."

Nurses cheered as Duteil reminded them that their "grievalanche" had an eff ect. She said the union documented 10,000 shift s that were not fi lled during a six-week period at health facilities around the province, and represent only the "tip of the iceberg."

NDP leader John Horgan addressed the rally, promising that his 2017 election plat-form will put nurses "front and centre in the health care model."

Nurses’ Union president Gail Duteil speaks to rally at B.C. legislature Thursday. Their con-tract expired more than a year ago.

Another May long week-end to enjoy family and friends, camping and par-ties, gardening and puttering.

The promise of summer is around the corner.

Now we enjoy the long languishing light, as we ap-proach the longest day of the

entire year. Ahhhh that's the life!Not so for too many people

around the globe! As we approach the Fi-

nancing for Development Conference in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in July 2015, Can-ada can play a key role in

ensuring that the Global Fi-nancing Facility, which will be housed at the World Bank, is both effective at leverag-ing funds and ensuring that those funds reach those who need them most.

In the coming months, while Canada negotiates the

structure and priorities of the GFF, we must urge the government to commit to ac-countability. We must ensure the preservation of equity, innovative and sustainable financing!

Connie Lebeau

Conservatives’ steal from poor seniors Th e federal Conser-

vative government’s latest budget gives the most to those who need it the least.

Stephen Harper’s priority is a $2 billion income-splitting plan and a massive increase to the limit for Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs). Both of these measures dispropor-tionately benefi t the rich instead of focusing that help on the middle class and those who are working hard to join it.

The vast majority of Canadian households – 85 percent – won’t get a dime from in-come-splitting, but they will be the ones

left to pay for it. Increasing the TFSA

limit to $10,000 per year is also expensive and unfair.

The previous TFSA limit was helping the middle class save for retirement. However, most Canadians won’t benefit from the new higher limit. Canadi-ans who are struggling don’t have an extra $10,000 to sock away each and every year. But wealthy Canadians can spare that amount.

Th e new TFSA limit will end up costing the government billions of dollars each year. A third of that cost will be borne by the prov-

inces. And because TFSAs don’t count to-ward income-tested benefi ts, it will result in additional Old Age Se-curity (OAS) payments for already wealthier seniors. When asked about the long term consequences of the new TFSA limit, Fi-nance Minister Joe Oli-ver shrugged and said it was a problem for “Ste-phen Harper’s grand-daughter to solve.”

Yet these are the same Conservatives who, shortly aft er the last election, broke their promise and passed a law to raise the age of Old Age Se-curity from 65 to 67.

Th ey falsely claimed that they had to do it in order to keep the OAS program fi nancially sustainable.

Raising the age of OAS to 67 takes $32,000 away from each of Can-ada’s poorest and most vulnerable seniors. Th e government will be taking that money away at precisely the same time as the ex-tra OAS payments for wealthier seniors start to really kick-in. Th e federal Conservatives are stealing from poor seniors in order to give that money to the rich. It’s unfair and un-Ca-nadian.

“Th e rich get rich-

er and the poor get poorer” used to be an old adage. Under the federal Conservatives, it has become govern-ment policy.

Scott Brison, MP

True “Green?”People think that the Greens are a left wing

party, but this is a mistake. The Greens econom-ic policy is more ethically ‘True Blue’ than Mr. Harper's.

If you are a staunch conservative, who is dis-mayed with what Mr. Harper has done to conser-vative values and the Progressive Conservative Party and you reflect carefully on the reasons for your concern, then you really owe it to your-self to take a good, hard, look at green economic policy. Ms. May believes in the power of the mar-ket and is more the true successor to the mantle of John Diefenbaker, Brian Mulroney and Joe Clark than Mr. Harper ever was.

Leo Young

Overfi shing of the world's oceans has decimated 96 per cent of the Pacifi c Blue Fin Tuna species, if we take what we don’t need, we’re just wasting fi sh.

We need to stop buying Blue Fin Tuna, or we will run out of it.

No fi sh, means, not fi shing for Blue Fin Tuna. Th e cost of blue fi n tuna is some-where between $3,000 and $5,000 per catch.

We need to prohibit the fi shing com-munity from careless and wasteful fi sh-ing practices to preserve these endan-gered species.

Once you catch them all, there will no longer be Blue Fin Tuna in the pacifi c oceans. Please choose to make the right decision and say no to buying Blue Fin Tuna.

Local society was awarded important funding

Funding granted for HopeNews


A d v a n t a g e H O P E , publicly announced that an application for grant money under the Interim Co-operative Marketing Funding Program to Destination BC in 2015, was met with success.

After solidly working with regional partners to initiate the much anticipated arrival of a regional destination marketing organiza-tion, which specifies the formation of the Hope, Cascades and Canyons Region (including Hope and FVRD Areas A, B, and D) up to $100,000 was awarded on behalf of Destination BC for tourism and marketing in the region.

Discerning the need for ex-cellent representation to com-pete on touristic provincial and national levels, Advantage-HOPE, honed in on the neces-sity of creating a cohesive and compelling product, that will ensure a competitive edge, over, marketing strat-egies as a region and pitched the idea to its stakeholders.

The prolific road signage that features Hope, is scattered across the province and typically concen-trated in southern BC, which alerted Advan-tageHOPE and the re-gion, of the potential equity tied into the re-representation of Hope as the centre, or hub of “an exciting outdoor adventure region.”

It’s on par with a new branding strategy that will shake off the out-side notion that Hope is just a small town, according to official documentation and at-tract an economic cli-mate aligned with the BC brand.

“With Hope’s stra-tegic location at the interface between the Lower Mainland/Fraser Valley and the Okanagan/Interior re-gions — we believe, we are well-positioned to be seen as an im-portant point of op-portunity for tourism in the province as a whole,” according to comments made by Advantage Hope, on the situational analysis report of the Interim Co-operative Market-ing Program consor-tium application.

Geographic po-sitioning was also a

strong bargaining point for retention of funding, due to Hope’s prime location.

“It’s not only a major high-way hub, sitting at the junction of four major highways, but, it’s also very proximate to market with only an hour and a half drive from Metro Vancouver,” said the report.

The aim of AdvantageHOPE

is to promote the Hope, Cas-cades and Canyons region and to stimulate economic growth through direct economic con-tribution and the fiscal spin-off created through effective mar-ket exposure.

“Our goal is to build a brand association between our entire region, with our neighbours and with the province, overall.”

AvantageHOPE was recently awarded money toward the proposed formation of the Hope Cascades and Canyon Regions, that would align Hope with the BC brand.

Coastal access for Canadian oil means an increase

of at least $5 per barrel. By getting full value for

our oil, everyone will benefit. Workers will gain from

the $5.4 billion project. Oil producers will earn more

revenue for their product. And Government will

collect more tax revenue from oil producers to spend

on programs such as health care, education and

other services that benefit all British Columbians.

Plus, we can invest in new training programs and

create new jobs for our youth.

“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.”

CommunityTh e Read Right Society has re-

cently announced a new partnership in conjunction with the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) and the Hope and Area Transition Society (HATS.) Th eir ob-jective is to deliver quality Child Care Resource and Referral (CCRR) ser-vices to the community of Hope and its surrounding areas.

“We are excited about this new partnership and to be able to support families, childcare providers, and those interested in becoming a child-

Th e program has been carefully designed as a multifaceted tool that assists families in the process of ac-cessing childcare, applying for child-care subsidies and increasing parent-ing skills.

HATS will be available to off er sup-port and to strengthen families facing challenges or in transition, while pro-viding resources and professional de-velopment for registered, A License Not Required (LNR) childcare pro-

viders and assisting those interested in establishing new home daycares.

An LNR daycare is offi ciated by an individual, whom provides childcare in their own home — to no more than two children or one sibling group, in addition to their own chil-dren. LNR daycares are encouraged to become a Registered License Not Required (RLNR) daycare through CCRR. Th e benefi ts of being regis-tered are extensive including:

• Referrals to families seeking childcare listing on the MCFD

Hope’s new Bike Park is calling for volunteers

Bike Park crew returnsto Hope

Community

Kelly Pearce and Stephanie Hooker Hope Mountain Centre

Hope’s new Bike Park is nearing the fi nal stages of completion and the people of Hope are needed to help get it across the fi nish line.

Initial funding was slated to cover the en-tire construction costs of two pump tracks and a wall ride.

It’s evident when driving past the con-struction site, there are dozens of skill-build-ing elements that are roughed in.

In fact, when fi n-ished, it will be one of the largest bike parks in the Lower Mainland.

Th e Bike Park’s de-sign and construc-tion is currently be-ing overseen by world class professional park builder Jay Hoots.

Th e Hoots crew re-turned to Hope on Tuesday, May 19th. Th e roughed-in elements that will be fi nished and made rideable for the kids of Hope this summer are largely de-pendent on the breadth of additional funding and volunteer labour

than can be committed to over the next four weeks.

Th e project needs volunteers every day to solidfy its completion, according to offi cials.

“We hope people will sign up and join us, even for two hours if they can,” said Stepha-nie Hooker of Pathway Partners. “Th e more volunteer labour we have available — the more we can stretch our precious construc-tion dollars.”

Interested individu-als are encouraged to arrive at the Coquihalla River Picnic Area park-ing lot to participate. Th ere will be a 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. shift , fol-lowed by a 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. shift every day, which began on Tues-day, May 19th.

Volunteers will be overseen by Hope Mountain Centre and the Hoots Crew.

For more informa-tion please call Kelly Pearce at 604-869-3745, or just arrive at the park for the speci-fi ed work schedule. If you have a set of work gloves, or a rake and a shovel, please bring

those along. Th e volunteers in

charge of fundraising for the project would like to encourage lo-cal residents and busi-nesses to support the project. All the money donated in its honour, will be held in a special account at the District of Hope with 100 per cent of contributions going to the project.

All contributions will receive a tax re-ceipt and substantial donations will be im-mortalized on the site.

If you are interested in donating, please visit the front desk at District Hall, or con-tact Stephanie at 604-206-1234 for more in-formation.

“Th e Bike Park will be a game changer for the kids of Hope — it will get kids active and into nature, while teaching them the skills and confi dence they need to tackle Hope`s more technical bik-ing trails — from little push bikes to advanced riders, there will be something for every-one,” said Ms. Hooker.

Th e Bike Park is one component of the Co-

quihalla River Com-munity Park Project, a community-driven eff ort to renovate an under-utilized munici-pal property, located between the Coquihal-la River and Kawkawa Lake Road.

Th ere are four main goals for the project: improve the Event Bowl and seating area; enhance the Skate-board Park; build ac-cessible walking trails in the forest and con-struct a mountain bike skills park, specifi cally designed for all ages and skill levels.

Volunteers in con-junction with the Dis-trict of Hope, secured initial funding from a provincial recreation grant.

Tri-West Contract-ing will be in charge of the construction com-ponent, with several stakeholder groups contributing to la-bour, materials and donations.

Th e group has spent the initial grant money and over-achieved on every goal, completing work valued at $2 mil-lion, while spending just over $500,000.

After 31 years, the McKinney’ recently said farewell to Hell’s Gate Airtram. Brian and Deb McKinney, called themselves fortunate, after de-ciding to leave the mass tourist attrac-tion, following the sale of their family business in Septem-ber of last year.

“The three past decades, plus a year have been life chang-ing, rewarding and made me the human being that I am,” said Brian, in a heartfelt letter to friends and colleagues, which in detail thanks staff, guests and manage-ment for their time, patronage and ser-vice over the years.

“My first job here was in 1980, when I was ten years old, putting on bright yel-low bumper stickers with strips of mask-ing tape — little did I know at that time, with the exception of a three year break in the late 80’s that I would call this place my second home,” he said.

Over the past few years the McKinney’s worked tirelessly to create a performance model that set the bar on emerging industry standards. That model effectively, strategized to improve the experi-ence of guests, while enhancing the HR practices the brother and sister duo, proudly endorse.

“We have learned many skills over the 30 plus years we’ve been there and have had the opportunity to implement changes and to build Hell’s Gate Airtram and Fraser Canyon in remarkable ways,” said Deb. “Our success has largely been due to the fan-tastic team work and relationships with our industry partners, staff and friends.”

It has been an abso-lute pleasure working with all of you.

James Deans visits the Hope Cinema

in the classic that made him a

legendOn the advent of its

60th anniversary, the Hope Film Club is presenting the James Dean film, ‘Rebel Without a Cause,’ (1955).

The quintessential film that made James Dean a star and revo-lutionized a genera-tion of discontented, suburban youth in America, searching for love and mean-ing in their desperate years, is about to in-spire generations old and new again, in a similar fashion.

The much an-ticipated showing is scheduled on Thurs-day, May 28th, for a 7: 30 p.m. start time at the Hope Cinema.

Directed by Nicho-las Ray and starring an eternally young Dean, Natalie Wood, and Sal Mineo, it promises to be an unforgettable experi-ence and evening.

For all prospective members, water lovers and those with an adventurous spirit, there will be an open paddle practise to try out the sport. FVDBC Vice President and water offi ciant Dale Kjemhus, extends a warm invitation to all interested individu-als. New members will be provided with insurance, paddles, life jackets and a choice of two Dragon Boats, including an OC6 and an OC2.

WINNING GARDENSfrom last year!


Upcoming 2015 HSS graduate, proves that a concussion and a messed-up-knee won’t stop him

Champion continues, despite a few hard knocksSports

Barry StewartHope Standard

Eighteen-year-old Dyl-lan James fl ew to Hali-fax for a national hockey championship in late April and came back with a medal, a concussion, and a messed-up knee.

The injury came in the bronze-medal match of the National Aboriginal Hockey Championship, played at the 11,000-seat Halifax Scotia Bank Centre.

“We were breaking out of our own end and my d-man passed me the puck and a guy blind-sided me with an elbow to the head,” recalled James, who played winger for Team BC. “I don’t know how I landed, but I ended up with a partially-torn MCL in my left knee on the same hit.

“Th ere were only two minutes left in the game, too. It was my last shift and I almost made it out, uninjured. Th e guy got fi ve-and-a-game, but we were already winning and it ended 4-3.”

Th eir opponents from Manitoba had gotten off to a blazing 3-0 start be-fore Team BC worked their way to the tying goal, which James assisted on. A short-handed goal gave Team BC the permanent lead.Th e Dogwood Valley resident said he was in the dressing room when the game ended, so he missed the celebratory dog-pile.

"I heard the announce-ment and I came out for the medals. I was still in my skates and the adrenaline was still pumping, so my knee didn’t hurt.”

When James and his dad Jessie got home, the knee was as-sessed as a 2.5 out of 3 — with 3 being a complete tear — said his mom, Vanessa.

Th is is the third year that James has tried out for the team. Last year, he made the 20-man roster from 110 candidates and it wasn’t a shoe-in for returnees this year, he said, as a few vets were sent packing at the fi nal cut. Fourteen players were from the Interior, three from the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland, and three from Vancouver Island.

Last year at Kahnawake, PQ, the team was beaten by Team Saskatchewan in the gold-medal match. Saskatchewan’s girls also won gold last year — and both teams repeated as champs in 2015.

“Th e best teams were from B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba,” said James.

“We didn’t even play Saskatchewan this year with the way the schedule worked out. We lost to Alberta in the quarter-fi nals and they lost to Saskatchewan in the fi nal.”

James scored twice against Alberta in their fi rst game of the tournament, helping B.C. to a 6-3 win and earning the team’s MVP award. He scored again in the match against Team North,

while Team BC fi nished with a 4-and-1 record over the week.Th is was James’ fi rst time in Nova Scotia and they did a bit of

sightseeing between games.“It was a fun time and a good experience. We went to

Peggy’s Cove and I tried lobster for the first time,” he said.“I liked it — but the next day, I couldn’t play in the game— I was so sick.”

James, who may be using crutches when he receives hisdiploma at this year’s Hope Secondary graduation cer-emony, had to take a week off school for the tournament— then another week off to recover from the concussion.

Mom says he doing a lot better now.

Dogwood Valley resident Dyllan James played for Team BC at the National Aboriginal Hockey Championships in Halifax; coming home with a bronze medal to go with the silver he wonlast year in Quebec.
