Hoopfest in Hope
BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD
Hope Mustang guard Brendan Sullivan tries to evade the tenacious forecheck of Mt. Sentinel’s Johnny Johnson, who bagged 30 points in leading the visitors to a 63-51 win over the Mustangs in Hope’s first game of their Hoopfest tournament, last Friday. Sullivan went on to win tournament MVP honours. For more on the tournament, see page 15.
Police nab thieves in Kawkawa Lake
Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
Two Hope residents are facing several charges in connection with a series of break-ins in the Kawkawa Lake area this week. Hope RCMP was notified of a triggered house alarm in 21000 block of Lakeview Crescent at about 1:50 a.m. on Monday morning. Three officers attended and found the screen from the lower bathroom window on the ground, as well as the basement slid-
ing door ajar and wet footprints near the patio door. While conducting a perimeter check later that morning, two other officers on duty were called to a break and enter in progress in the 66000 block of Kawkawa Lake Road. A witness called police to advise them that he heard his neighbour’s recreational house alarm go off. He had gone over to investigate and noticed that the bedroom window was open and there were several chairs stacked up near the window. The window screen for
the basement bathroom window had also been removed and placed behind the air conditioning unit. The witness reported hearing the voices of a man and woman coming from the dock. According to police, he pointed his flashlight in the direction of the voices and saw two people in dark clothing in the homeowner’s boat trying to paddle away. The witness could not see their faces, however, he could hear them arguing as they were going in circles in the boat. He watched them for about 10 minutes before they man-

aged to steer the boat toward a dock located at the north side of the lake. When police arrived on scene, the witness agreed to take one of the officers on his boat to search for the suspects. They found the stolen boat abandoned on the shore, taking in water. Inside the boat was a flat screen television, food and alcohol. The RCMP Police Dog Service was called in to assist in locating the suspects. Continued on 5

Cast vote for calendar options School board is looking at alternative solutions Jessica Peters Black Press
The school year is up for debate in the Fraser-Cascade, with three calendar options being considered by the school district. Parents, guardians, students, staff and members of the community are being asked to weigh in on the discussion, either online or in person. The first option is to remain with the current status quo with a two-week spring break (from March 23 - April 6). The second option is to
take a three week winter break (from Dec. 22 - Jan. 9) and to return to the classroom a week early, on Aug. 25. Finally, the district is considering a balanced calendar. Perhaps the most drastic change, the balanced calendar includes two month long breaks (at Christmas and for most of April) and a five week summer break (July 27 - Aug. 31). At a recent school board meeting, trustees discussed the pros and cons of each calendar option. However, they
are counting on the community to tell them which is the best suited locally. Each of the calendar options are used in select communities around the province. There will be three public consultation meetings held around the district. The first is on Jan. 21 at 4:30 p.m. at the District Education Office in Hope. The second will be at Agassiz Elementary Secondary School on Jan. 23 at 4:30 p.m. and the third will be held at Boston Bar Elementary Secondary School on Jan. 27 at
4:30 p.m. For those who would prefer to weigh in online, a survey is available at the school district website, at www.sd78. bc.ca. Opinions can also be emailed to info@sd78.bc.ca. The district has also started a discussion on Twitter, @ sd78calendar. Following all of that public discussion, the board will again bring the calendar to the table at their Mar. 4 regular meeting. A decision will need to be made in time to prepare for the 2014/2015 calendar.
Police arrest Hope man in Vernon Roger Knox Black Press
The GPS (Global Positioning System) on a truck stolen from Kamloops played a part in helping Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP capture a pair of suspects Sunday. At around 7 a.m., officers were alerted to a stolen white Ford F250 from Kamloops may be headed toward Vernon. “The truck was being tracked by its GPS,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. Officers set up on Highway 97 to locate, identify and hopefully stop the truck without causing suspicion to the driver. Information from the GPS showed the truck was travelling at speeds of up to 130 km/hour. “The truck was identified and initially allowed to pass our members then followed at a distance that remained

out of site of the driver and lone passenger,” said Molendyk. “Our officers radioed ahead to others in Vernon.” The truck entered into city limits where one officer in an unmarked vehicle was used to track the movements and
to let officers know where it was heading to set up to arrest the suspects. At one point, said Molendyk, the driver swerved into the unmarked police car. “These actions caused the truck to drive onto the shoulder of the road and into a
tree,” said Molendyk, adding that this happened in an area near Alexis Park. The driver of the truck, a 34-year-old man from the Hope area, was arrested with the assistance of the police service dog team. He gave up without incident when the dog closed in. A woman in the truck, a 25-year-old from Chilliwack, was chased down by an officer after attempting to flee the scene. Molendyk said the man is currently on parole and has been remanded into custody. The woman was released on a promise to appear in court. Multiple charges are being recommended on both suspects. Nobody was injured and there was only minor damage to the stolen truck and police car. “The police action in this case was handled with minimal risk to the public,” said Molendyk.

This means that your blood sugar isn’t so high that you have diabetes but it is a warning sign. Each year, up to 8% of people with prediabetes will develop type 2 diabetes. This can be prevented by losing weight, exercise and eating more sensibly. Just losing 10 lb can reduce your risk. January is a good time of the year to start. One of the changes people can make to their diets in
2014 is to eat more ¿sh. It’s the omega-3 fatty acids in ¿sh that make it such a good food to protect against stroke and heart attacks. Salmon is a good place to start. Coughs come as two main types: productive and nonproductive. A productive cough is that loose, rattling type of cough that feels like your chest is full of phlegm. The non-productive cough is a dry hacking one. To help the productive cough, drinking lots of water, using a vaporizer
and taking expectorant cough syrups. These treatments will help thin out that thick mucus. Just another reminder for smokers. One of the most common causes of productive coughs is chronic cigarette smoking. Stopping smoking will produce better results than any cough syrup our pharmacists can suggest Cough syrups vary in their ability to help sooth a cough. Ask our pharmacists for advice, especially when it comes to small children with coughs.

Driver charged in crash near Hope
Community of Hope Church Directory
An Abbotsford truck driver has been charged following a crash last Wednesday night between two semis on Highway 1 two kilometres west of Hope. The collision took place at about 9 p.m., shutting down traffic for more than 10 hours and strewing cargos of pulp and wine all over the highway. RCMP Cpl. Robert McDonald said a 30-year-old Abbotsford man was driving a Kenworth semi-trailer, loaded with wine, east on Highway 1 when he lost control of the vehicle and drove through the centre median. McDonald said the truck crossed westbound lanes and was struck broadside by a Freightliner semi-trailer loaded with pulp and driven by a 57-yearold Delta man. Neither driver was injured, but both vehicles sustained extensive damage, with one semi’s trailer ripped apart. The driver of the Kenworth has been charged with driving without due care and attention, and both vehicles are being examined by commercial vehicle inspectors to determine whether any mechanical issues were involved, McDonald said. Anyone who witnessed the collision and has not yet spoken to police is asked to contact Cpl. Dave Ewert at the Fraser Valley Traffic Services office at 604702-4039.

Hope RCMP links suspects to 12 incidents From 1
The dog immediately established a track from a house on Kawkawa Lake Road, which went through very rough terrain and eventually to a steep rock cut. The dog was hesitant to climb the cut, so the dog’s handler attempted to get up in order to lift the dog up. However, the dog pulled in the other direction, causing the officer to fall down an embankment about 20 feet. He suffered multiple bruises and scrapes, however, after regaining his composure, he continued up the bank and made it to the top. Another RCMP officer below attempted the same, but, at the top, a large bolder gave way and he fell down the embankment. During the fall, the officer managed to get his footing, but the bolder hit him in the back of his head, causing a large laceration and heavy bleeding. He was transported back to the shoreline to an awaiting ambulance. He ended up suffering a concussion and receiving several stitches.

Published at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press
Get heart-healthy After a season of over-indulging, many Canadians start January saying this is the year they get heart-healthy. That wake-up call to become more active and eat better can’t come a moment too soon, according to the Canadian Medial Association. The CMA’s latest report on the nation’s heart health says we’re not doing very well — in fact, we’re almost on life support. Across the nation, fewer than 10 per cent of Canadian adults meet the criteria for “ideal” cardiovascular health, which means most still don’t get enough exercise (at least 30 minutes of walking per day), and most don’t eat properly (consuming five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day). People are getting heavier and we see this everywhere, and in our own waistlines, which seem to expand with each passing year. But adults aren’t alone in risky health behaviours. According to the study, only about 20 per cent of kids between 12 and 19 years are making lifestyle choices to keep them healthy — including being active for an hour or more a day. Where is all this heading? The bad news is unless people’s habits change, there will be more incidences of diabetes, hypertension, cancer, heart attacks and stroke. If you think our hospitals are crowded now, imagine what the wards will be like a few years from now. The sad part is that many baby boomers are planning for long lives, Unless they make changes now, however, they will be sick or disabled for 10 of those years, according to a Heart and Stroke Foundation report released in 2013. Ironically, most boomers think they are healthy but in fact many are stressed, sedentary, eat poorly and drink too much alcohol. Could this be the year Canadians change those statistics and turning this unhealthy ship around? Pass the veggies while we think about it. - Black Press
Harper rapped for wrong reasons B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s latest visit to B.C. was portrayed as these things are today: besieged by protesters, hiding from an ever-vigilant media, cynically campaigning for the 2015 federal election. TV couldn’t get enough of the two “environmental activists” who dressed as waiters to slip onstage at a business breakfast in Vancouver. They’re not environmentalists, just all-purpose protesters using the flavour of the month. They are associated with a group calling itself “No One Is Illegal,” a collection of anarchist kooks that wants to do away with national borders,
and of course capitalism. As their now-famous sign said, they want “climate justice now.” Organizer Brigette DePape explained to a co-operative CBC TV host that the recent typhoon in the Philippines that killed thousands of people was caused by global warming, which of course is caused mainly by the Alberta “tar sands.” I won’t dwell on this routine idiocy, except to say the number of hurricanes that struck North America in 2013 was zero, and that hasn’t happened since 1994. Also, “climate justice” is like “social justice,” in that both require confiscation of earned wealth. DePape is the former Senate page fired in 2011 for a similar sign stunt. She’s now a professional Harper hater, with support from the U.S.-based Tides Foundation among others. One of the issues Harper didn’t

take questions on was the consolidation of 11 federal fisheries libraries into two, one of them in Sidney, B.C. This is portrayed as part of Harper’s so-called “war on science,” and has been compared with the Romans burning the library of Alexandria in ancient Egypt. Fisheries Minister Gail Shea defended the cost-cutting measure by pointing out that almost all access to these libraries is now digital, so maintaining 11 duplicated sets of printed reports is a waste of taxpayer dollars. An anonymous federal scientist fired back on his blog that the head of one of these libraries retired before the contents could even be catalogued, much less completely digitized for online access. So this material wasn’t even properly organized? Users were supposed to browse until they

stumbled on something pertinent? The ministry reported that the average number of people other than federal fisheries staff who used these libraries averaged between five and 12 per year. That’s for all 11 facilities combined. And if anyone has even one example of information that was available and isn’t now, they should identify it. Harper’s got plenty to answer for, no question. To take one of many examples, spending our borrowed money on TV ads for a “Canada Job Grant” program that hasn’t even been introduced in Parliament, much less set up, isn’t just wasteful. It’s dishonest and cruelly misleading to the unemployed people the ads pretend to offer help. Harper’s visit to B.C. added a couple of scripted events, starting with softball questions at the Vancouver business breakfast. Then he was off to a photo op at

the Kinsol trestle on Vancouver Island, where he announced three more years of funding for the Trans-Canada Trail. I’m as relieved as anyone that Harper is not killing this modest federal project that started in 1992, but this is not news. It was a fake public event to justify the cost of a trip so Harper could address a new Conservative riding association. And how is the federal deficit after eight years of tight-fisted Conservative rule? We’re only borrowing about $1 billion a month now, down from the Harper government all-time record deficit of $55 billion in 2009. Some cost cutting is in order all right.

Re: High court’s prostitution riling puts sex worker safety first (Jan. 2) The Supreme Court of Canada has struck down all laws restricting prostitution. In other words, individuals can freely sell their body for sexual purposes. This causes me to wonder how non-elected judges can rule over the people and parliament. For these judges to say that restricting or criminalizing prostitution is against the prostitute’s constitutional rights is hard to digest. If this is true, then we as a society have digressed to where the individual rights to behave as one sees fit trump the laws put in place to safeguard society as a whole. We already have young people, mostly female, enter-
ing into private liaisons with abusers who commit acts that the general public would not condone. As such, a young woman’s entire body becomes the property of an older and stronger man, usually anonymously. The girl in her early teenage years gives up the right to the proper use of her body – for a sum of money. Indeed, some who see this as a right of the young woman, but people like myself see this as abuse. The girl participating in prostitution may be stabbed, burnt, abused, damaged, given a sexually transmitted disease or even killed. Apart from demeaning the young woman or man, these liaisons interfere with responsible relationships of husbands, wives and parents
raising children. We have strong laws against child pornography and the use of illegal drugs. Child pornography laws protect children from sexual exploitation. Laws prohibiting the use of illegal drugs guard the bodies of youth and adults in Canada. With these laws firmly and justifiably in place, how do we explain the misuse of a young girl’s body by a man who has no intention of providing for her care long term? This is nothing less than paid rape. If prostitution remains legal, schools may feel obligated to present prostitution as an acceptable lifestyle of which children must be inclusive of. Parents do not wish to see their children selling their bodies for sexual abuse. Nor do Ca-
nadian citizens wish to have young girls hanging around their street corners waiting for a man to pick them up and sexually invade them. We have an obligation to see that young people value their body, their interests and contribution in life. I cannot find any compelling argument for surrendering our youth or adults to sex for money. We need prostitution laws that outlaw prostitution and prosecute all persons involved in this degrading pursuit. Surely the good of Canadian society as a whole must trump the rights of individuals to behave in any manner they choose. Without such a mandate for law, what will there be as a safeguard for Canadians? Ed Vanwoudenberg
Waste recycling facility more than a Chilliwack issue On behalf of our salmon, and the greater environment that we are part of, I’m concerned about plans to locate a hazardous waste recycling facility on the banks of our Fraser River in Chilliwack. As a member of the local environmental community, I am startled that such an idea is even considered feasible.
While I applaud the need for safe and responsible recycling of materials such as PCBs, mercury, transformer oils and toxic and infectious substances to name a few, the choice of location for Aevitas’ proposed facility is simply inappropriate. There are far too many unknowns and potential risks to make this placement a respon-
sible decision. What is known are the well documented, long term effects of mercury and PCBs meaning the direct impact on local salmon and sturgeon populations could be detrimental — even deadly. This is not just a Chilliwack issue. A leak or accident at the facility could impact every downstream community sharing the
Fraser River. We must ensure the Ministry of Environment examines this proposal thoroughly. In the meantime, I humbly request the proponent, Aevitas, considers alternative sites well removed from the floodplain of the Fraser River. Lina Azeez Watershed Watch Salmon Society

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING FEB. 3, 2014 AT 7 PM
Environmental protection shouldn’t impact living standards Why do we mount challenges to almost every industrial proposal and particularly resource industry proposals that comes forward? Yes it is important to protect our environment. However, in my opinion, this protection should be realistic, practical and achieve essential levels of environmental protection without unnecessarily reducing our living standards. In Canada and particularly in British Columbia we enjoy a very high standard of living. Yes, we gripe about almost everything, but the reality is we are doing very well. Our health care system is really very good. We went to our granddaughter’s Christmas concert at our local high school and the
talent and enthusiasm exhibited by those young people was extraordinary. Our electricity and water services are more than adequate. We have decent law enforcement and, while a lot of us think it could be better, it is really quite good. Our roads are good and when you drive around and look at the average homes in our communities they are pretty nice. All of this costs money. Where does it come from? Believe me; you can’t pay for all of these things on minimum wage jobs. In British Columbia in particular, we depend on generating wealth with our natural resources. Logging, mining, farming, oil & gas and fisheries are our primary wealth producers. Tourism, informa-

Megan Bukta was too young to remember her mom’s cancer struggle but now, as an adult, she’s helping others with their battles. Bukta, 27, is a volunteer with the Canadian Cancer Society and, as such, helps raise funds that go towards cancer research, prevention initiatives, and support programs. She credits such dollars with helping her mom, Michelle Rickaby, to survive Hodgkin’s lymphoma when Butka was just three years old, and she wants to return the favour. This includes assisting with the Cancer Society’s latest fundraiser – Slopes for Hope, taking place Sunday, Feb. 9 at Hemlock Resort. The event invites skiers, boarders and tubers to raise pledges and then spend the day on the slopes. They can attempt to ski or board the height of Mount Everest, which requires 22 runs, either as individuals or a team. Wacky costumes are encouraged. Registration is $10 (free for kids under 12), and those who raise more than $100 receive a free lift pass for the day, as well as the first run of the day. Those who raise more than $50 get a free two-hour tubing pass for the day. Nicola Romaniuk, annual
giving co-ordinator with the Fraser Valley region of the Cancer Society, said the event, taking place on the Family Day long weekend, is designed for the whole family. The top fundraising team receives a two-night stay during spring break for up to 10 people at Snowflake Resort Chalets at Hemlock Resort or a threenight stay during the summer.
“It just means a lot that people go out there to help raise money for research that will raise our survivor rates.” Megan Bukta
Prizes are also awarded for the top individual fundraiser and the best team spirit. About $13,000 was raised last year – the first time the event was held at Hemlock Resort – and the goal is $16,000 this time around. All proceeds go to the Canadian Cancer Society. Bukta, a marketing assistant in Abbotsford at University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), has helped promote Slopes for Hope by distributing posters and pamphlets and posting in-
formation on social media. She will also participate as a skier and hopes to form a team from UFV. “It seems like a really fun thing to do, and it’s family-oriented,” she said. Bukta has volunteered with the Cancer Society for about 10 years through events such as the Relay for Life, the Daffodil Campaign and Cops for Cancer. “It just means a lot that people go out there to help raise money for research that will raise our survivor rates,” she said. Randy Murphy, director of resort services at Hemlock Resort, said the site is excited to be hosting the second annual Slopes for Hope, with tubing added this year as an alternative for those who don’t ski or board. “Last year, Slopes for Hope exceeded all expectations for a first-year event, raising over $13,000 for cancer research,” he said. “It’s going to be an awesome day.” The Hemlock Resort event is among five Slopes for Hope fundraisers taking place in B.C. and the closest one to the Fraser Valley.

Public Notice Notice of Public Information Meeting on Proposed Lorenzetta Creek Hydroelectric Project: DEVELOPMENT PLAN TEMPLATE REVIEW You are invited to a public information meeting at 7:30 PM on Wednesday, January 29, 2014 regarding the application of Zella Holdings Ltd. (Zella Hydro) for a 3 MW Run-of-River hydroelectric project on Lorenzetta Creek. The meeting will take place in the Conference Centre at the Hope & District Recreational Centre 1005 6th Ave. RR4, Hope, BC V0X 1L4.
Market opportunities abound in the Hope area Hope is a market that is poised for growth – our location and proximity to the ever-expanding Fraser Valley markets put us squarely in the path of development, which due to the constraints of physical geography, must continue to push east towards us. In the business and hospitality sectors, there are positive indicators such as back-to-back years of record sales volumes for many of our retailers and restauranteurs, bolstered in part by good weather, leading to extended summer seasons. Driving by the Flying J and seeing its seemingly constant state of busyness – it’s hard to imagine how the high volumes of traffic it serves ever survived without this stop. And for the community, it’s had
The proposed project will use Provincial Crown land and private property (58751 McKay Rd) located in the vicinity of Laidlaw BC, and along Lorenzetta Creek. The proposal includes the diversion of 0.6 m3/s of water from Lorenzetta Creek, which will be completely returned to the creek at about 45 meters of elevation on private land. The water works included in the proposal are an intake/weir and intake pond, a water conveyance system, powerhouse, and tailrace. Lower portions of the water conveyance system, as well as the powerhouse, tailrace and power line, are all located on private property at 58751 McKay Rd, Laidlaw BC. The proposed point of diversion for the project is located at about 700 meters of elevation along Lorenzetta Creek.
the effect of raising the visibility of Hope to the millions of vehicles that pass by each year. Over the past month, we’ve had no less than half a dozen inquiries from young families who are e x p l or i ng Hope as their next home, attracted here for the lifestyle our community offers. In the c o m m e r - Tammy cial sector, Shields heightened levels of interest are gathering, with some companies who haven’t been willing to consider Hope as a market in the past coming back to take a look. But the opportunities in Hope are not
just available to individuals and companies outside of our market who are starting to perceive opportunity here – they are also available for current residents to take advantage of. Locally grown businesses have always been an important part of our local economic l ands c ap e and we hope to celebrate even more of these kinds of successes in 2014. Behind most great businesses is a solid business plan, which is built on good research. A great place for anyone thinking about starting a new business to begin researching is

on the Internet, where there are plenty of excellent resource sites available. Some examples are: www.ic.g.ca/ csbfp, www.bdc.ca, www.gov.bc.ca/business, and www.entrepreneur.com. Some local resources include the industrial and retail trade area studies conducted in late 2012, which identify the opportunities and gaps in the market. These studies, as well as additional resource material like the recently adopted Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw, a development incentive tool, are available through AdvantageHOPE. Another one of the great local resources for entrepreneurs wanting to start or expand businesses in Hope is Community Futures Sun Country, which is an independent, non-profit organization that collaborates with all levels of government, corporate and community partners in order to deliver programs locally. Some of these programs include a selfemployment program for unemployed individuals, business financing, business counseling, and small business workshops. Sun Country will also work with individuals that are considering selling their business or for those wanting to buy a business.

Following a passion can be rewarding Following your passion is more like trekking around the Emerald Isle with a road map and an idea of what you want to see. Sure, you read the guidebooks back home. You thought it would be fine to see the Cliffs of Mohr. But what happens when you are on Peter this kind of trip Bailey and see sights you never read about in the guidebook?
You find a friendly little pub in a cove or a book shop in a village. Sometimes though, you find something significant and the journey changes. You learn about the Catholic Pilgrims heading to El Camino de Santiago in Spain. You never knew anything about this and suddenly you are fascinated and you change directions. You were still passionate
Workpath
Communities, such as ours in the Fraser Valley, are full of interesting sites that tourists only discover when they get here. The local trails are a perfect example. Folks come to hike a trail and they find an old Kettle Valley trestle bridge. Following your passion can be the same experience. It is not necessarily a guaranteed journey. It’s not like arranging a guided tour of Ireland where you are picked up by the tour guide and driven to the Ring of Kerry and Blarney Castle.
about seeing Ireland but it led you to seeing Spain. In the same way, a person passionate about journalism is required to take a course in interpersonal relations and realizes the thing they liked about journalism was interviewing. Now they see a career in human relations. Following a dream, an interest or a passion will take you to worlds “you never knew you never knew.� Staying where you are because you are worried about making the wrong choice will get you exactly what you’ve got right now.

Senior boys finish first at Hoopfest tournament Barry Stewart Hope Standard
The senior boys Mustangs hosted their Hoopfest basketball tournament last weekend — and played their way to first place overall. It was destined to be a small tournament anyway, with five teams entered but it got even smaller on Friday morning, said Hope Secondary’s athletics director, Alicia Dubois. “Unfortunately, due to weather, Revelstoke Secondary was unable to travel and had to cancel on the morning of the tournament,” she explained. “This resulted in a quick rescheduling of games and officials, so a round robin was created for the remaining four teams. “The tournament went really well, though. The teams were all pretty evenly matched, which made for some exciting close games.” Unlike typical tournament formats, a loss in the opening game didn’t relegate a team to the consolation side. That was lucky for Hope, who had a meltdown in the first game but came back to win their other two. “This tournament was interesting because all of the teams had an opportunity to play each other,” said Dubois. “If we look at Hope, for instance, Hope lost their first game against Mt. Sentinel but won their second game against Agassiz. At the same time, Agassiz won their game against Mt. Sentinel, but lost their game against Hope and Charles Bloom Secondary.” The Mustangs ended up beating Charles Bloom on Saturday and had the same 2-and-1 win-loss record… so their victory over Bloom gave the Hope boys first overall. Things started well for the Mustangs in the Mount Sentinel game, with Hope up by seven points at the half. Then things fell apart. “That first game was frustrating,” said Mustangs coach Jake Giles on Tuesday. “Mount Sentinel went on a couple of runs in the second half… one of them 23-0. “It was all because of a threequarter court trap they put on us. It was a different look than the guys were used to. It was an even-fronted zone trap instead of an odd front — and I couldn’t get the guys to settle down and execute our press break. “We burned up all our timeouts trying to break it down,” said the coach. “Believe me, we are spending some time in practice working on it.”
The South Slocan-based school outscored HSS 47-28 in the second half, with No. 4, Johnny Johnson, lapping up 30 points in the game. Mount Sentinel won 63-51. Grade 12 guard, Brendan Sullivan led the Mustangs with four treys and four more points for a total of 16. Forty-five minutes later, the Mustangs were back on the floor against Agassiz. The down-river team had beaten Hope by a close margin in league play earlier in the week. Now it was Hope’s chance to return the favour. The Mustangs led after each quarter, paced by Justin Dolan and brothers Brendan and Cam Sullivan, who shared 35 points between the trio. Agassiz matched Hope 18-18 in the final frame but the home team prevailed, 49-43. “This time, we were down three guys, [who were involved in the midget hockey tournament],” said coach Giles. “We decided to go zone against them, to save our energy. We knew we’d have to zero-in on their best shooter, No. 13, to keep him from beating us — but the guys did an excellent job keeping track of him and taking care of their responsibilities on the defensive end.” Charles Bloom Secondary of Lumby had edged Agassiz and trounced Mount Sentinel on Friday, so the Mustangs had a tough row to hoe on Saturday. Brendan Sullivan set the pace with six three-pointers and Cam notched three more treys. The brother act accounted for 35 of Hope’s 50 points in the game. Brendan’s play in the three games garnered him the tournament MVP honours. It was tied at 25 at half-time, then Hope went on a 14-5 tear in the third quarter and never looked back, winning 50-41. “We had been running our zone all game,” said Giles, “but we started running our zone with a trap in the corner and that resulted in a few turnovers for us. One of their better players had a little bit of foul trouble and was forced to sit the last half of the third quarter. That gave us a little more liberty to trap hard in the corner and look for the turnover. The guys did a great job of anticipating the pass and cutting off the baseline.” The Mustang boys have two road games next week and travel to Agassiz for their final league game on Feb. 6.
