Th e McCaff rey sewer lift station will be getting some much-needed upgrades following a federal / provincial funding announcement last week.

Th is lift station is "an essential component of the district's sanitary sewer system," remarked Mayor John Van Laerhoven during a press conference Th ursday, July 2. "I believe it's one of our oldest lift stations and it's defi nitely in need of an upgrade."

A lift station takes the sewage from an area and pumps it up into the main

line which then goes to the treatment plant, explains Steve Nuttall, utilities supervisor at the Agassiz Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Th e McCaff rey station is one of fi ve lift stations in Agassiz. It services 34 residential homes, the RCMP Agassiz detachment, the federal Pacifi c Agri-Food Research Station and the UBC Dairy Education and Research Centre.

Part of the lift station was upgraded about 15 years ago, but the original station was built in the late 1970’s. Since then, there have been numerous add-

ons in the neighbourhood, increasing the output to more than what the station was designed to handle.

“We’ve had issues with levels and fl ows, including backups,” reports Nuttall.

Problems led to operators being called out, sometimes in the middle of the night, to deal with situations, explains Nuttall. Put simply, the upgrades have “been needed for awhile.”

MP Mark Strahl and MLA Laurie Th roness were in Agassiz to make the announcement of federal and provincial funding up to $66,666 each for the upgrades. Th e remaining

third of the total $200,000 project costs will be paid for by the District of Kent.

"Sometimes the things that are invisible, and that you want to remain invisible, are some of the most important things in the community, like sewer," said Th roness. "Th is federal / provincial municipal program fi lls a really important need, of doing some of those bread and butter things in communities that are indispensable."

In his speech, Strahl highlighted the benefi ts of the McCaff rey station improvements and his government's role in

funding projects in smallcommunities. But he alsocommented that he is sadthat this could be his lastannouncement here as MPfor the Chilliwack-FraserCanyon riding, which willbe split for the next electioninto the Chilliwack-Hoperiding while the Districtof Kent and Harrison HotSprings will be part of thenew Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon riding.

Th e fi nancing came outof the federal-provincialSmall Communities Fund,which will see $42 milliondistributed across theprovince.

Upgrades for Agassiz’ oldest sewage lift stationFederal, provincial and municipal money come together for $200,000 project

Th e Agassiz Farm Fresh Market is in full summer swing.

Th e sun shines brightly on the tent tops while in the shade underneath, vendors smile at customers and passers-by. It's a sight to behold: baskets of kale and jars of pickled garlic, fi nely-detailed jewelry beckons from one booth while intricately woven baskets sit at another. Homemade bags and aprons fl utter in a slight breeze, bright red strawberries and dark red raspberries picked fresh for the buying. Neighbours chat while doing their shopping, a coming-together of errands and entertainment in one parking lot.

Th e Agassiz farmer's market has been going strong for six years now. Th is season, a new marketing co-ordinator joined the team. Jenna Kliever, an Agassiz local back home for the summer, took over the role from busy museum / visitor centre manager

Judy Pickard.Kliever invites

everyone to come check out the market and see for themselves the bounty we have around us.

"It's such a plentiful time of year, you might as well take advantage of it while you can," urges Kliever.

Kliever has a passion to support local small business and says it is great that at the market, you can get up close and personal with the vendors such as Aaron Oss of Ossome Acres.

Oss says farmer's markets are a great place to not only promote his business and sell fresh produce, but he gets to meet customers face-to-face and answer any questions they may have.

Ossome Acres set up at the Agassiz Farm Fresh Market about four or fi ve years ago and have returned this year to our small-town market.

Th e number of vendors fl uctuates weekly, averaging 13 to 14 each week.

Th e Agassiz Farm Fresh Market takes place in the museum parking lot at 7011 Pioneer Avenue every Th ursday aft ernoon from now through to September, 3-6 p.m.

#MeetmymarketJuly is Meet my

An air quality advisory issued Sunday afternoon for Metro Vancouver is continu-ing and has been extended to the Fraser Valley as a result of smoke blowing into the region from wildfires raging across B.C.

Metro Vancouver air quality planner Geoff Doerksen said fine particulate con-centrations from the smoke have hit levels never seen before across the entire Lower Mainland.

“Seeing these heavy smoke levels mix down to the ground is unprecedented for our region,” he said.

The air quality objective for fine par-ticulate is 25 micrograms per cubic metre measured as a 24-hour rolling average.

Readings four times that level – 100 micrograms or higher – were recorded Monday morning at stations in North Vancouver, Burnaby and Vancouver, where the highest reading of 121.6 was at Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children.

Other areas with particulatel levels dou-ble to triple the objective included Surrey at 81.7, Langley at 67.2, Abbotsford at 66.2 and Chilliwack at 50. Hope was less smoky at 10.

“We’ve never seen this before,” Doerksen said. “We’re exceeding our fine particulate objectives at all of our stations in Metro Vancouver as well as our Fraser Valley stations.”

Metro saw elevated particulate in 2012 – with readings briefly spiking towards but not above 100 – as a result of smoke from wildfires in Siberia. There was also more localized smoke in 2005 from a fire in Burns Bog.

There’s no single fire to blame for the smoke.

Significant amounts of smoke are com-ing into the Lower Mainland from fires burning west of Pemberton.

But nearby fires are also burning on Vancouver Island and on the Sunshine Coast near Sechelt.

And officials say more distant fires burning elsewhere in the B.C. Interior and beyond have also brought smoke here because of a lack of wind blowing onshore

from the ocean.“The winds have been shifting quite a

bit in the last couple of days,” Doerksen said.

“Some of our computer models show smoke as far as Alberta and the Northwest Territories affecting our area.”

He said there are two smoke layers – one ground level and one higher aloft – affecting the Metro area, with upper level smoke coming from more distant sources.

The hazy conditions are expected to persist until there’s a change in the cur-rent weather pattern.

But as of Monday, hot, sunny weather is currently forecast to persist through the week.

Even worse, lightning is possible Thursday night in the Manning Provincial Park area, according to Coastal Fire Centre information officer Ellie Dupont.

The smoke blotted out the sun in much of the region and there have been reports of ash falling over a wide area.

“People from Port Hardy and Salt Spring Island and many other areas have been calling in saying there’s ashes all over their decks and their boats,” Dupont said.

Provincial officials are considering a ban on the use of ATVs and motorcycles in the backcountry to prevent more fires from being sparked.

“A lot of forest companies have shut down their private lands and put up gates,” Dupont added.

“We’re hoping with all the smoke more people will think about the fires that are burning and be more careful,” she said.

There have been 85 fires so far in the Coastal fire region this year. Fourteen new ones have been sparked since Sunday and three of them were caused by people.

The province is bringing back all fire-fighting crews it had previously sent to Alaska and the Northwest Territories. After a couple of days of rest, they’ll be back in action battling B.C. wildfires.

Fire season shaping up as one of the worstTom FletcherBLACK PRESS

VICTORIA – The B.C. gov-ernment has spent more than $80 million so far this year bat-tling forest fires, on a pace for one of the worst fire seasons on record.

There were 27 new fire starts reported in B.C. on Sunday alone, with 184 active fires being fought across the province and nine evacuation alerts and orders in effect as of Monday affecting 800 homes.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the unusual early dry spell has provincial costs running ahead of 2003, where devastating fires at Barriere near Kamloops and in the Okanagan destroyed or dam-aged 238 homes and burned 12 wooden trestles in the Myra Canyon stretch of the historic Kettle Valley Railway.

The 2009 fire season is the most expensive on record, with $382 million spent, com-pared to $375 million in 2003. Those years also saw pro-

longed drought, but it set in later in the summer.

A tree-faller was killed Sunday while working on a fire on the Sunshine Coast, the latest reminder of the danger

of firefighting. In 2010, two air tanker pilots were killed, and a helicopter pilot died fighting a fire in 2009.

There is no budget limit for forest fire expenditures.

While the costs have to be accounted for after the sea-son, de Jong said he is more concerned with the continued carelessness of people despite the financial and human costs.

“I was driving down the highway yesterday and I saw someone throw a cigarette out of their car,” de Jong said. “Give your head a shake. I don’t know what is wrong with people who wantonly put other people’s lives and property at risk.”

B.C. has often lent its experi-enced fire crews to other juris-dictions, but in 2009 more than 1,800 people were brought in from most other provinces, the U.S. and even Australia and New Zealand.

That may be more difficult this season, with severe condi-tions across Western Canada. In Saskatchewan, where 12,000 people have fled their homes, Premier Brad Wall announced Monday that up to 1,000 Canadian Forces troops may be called in to help.

Particulate from fires at ‘unprecedented’ levels: Metro

Advice on beating the smokePeople with chronic underlying medical conditions should postpone strenuous

exercise until the air quality advisory is lifted, according to the regional district.Staying indoors and in air conditioned spaces helps to reduce fine particulate

exposure.Exposure is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly and those who have

diabetes, and lung or heart disease.People suffering from the effects of the degraded air quality are advised to:■ Stay in a cool, air-conditioned environment and reduce other indoor sources

of air pollution such as smoking and vacuuming.■ Run an air cleaner. Some room air cleaners, such as HEPA filters, can help

reduce indoor particulate levels provided they are the right size for your home and filters are changed regularly.

■ Take shelter in air-conditioned buildings that have large indoor volumes and limited entry of outdoor air.

This is the second air quality advisory issued in the region this year. An earlier one lasting two days in June was due to ground-level ozone.

Avoiding the use of gas-powered mowers and other equipment, and taking transit or carpooling instead of driving can avoid further adding to the region’s air pollution problem.

Th e District of Kent Transportation Network Plan is complete and ready for reference as the District plans future projects and plans.

Nadine King, transportation engineer with Boulevard Transportation, presented the fi nal report to District of Kent Council at a recent special Council meeting.

Th e scope of the project was to look at existing conditions as well as forward to 2040, explained King, "to ID existing defi ciencies and future issues and concerns."

Boulevard Transportation looked at the community's road network, cross sections, traffi c calming, site specifi c improvement options, active transportation and implementation.

In terms of traffi c calming, King suggested that the District may need to look at tools such as speed readers, education and community programs like the 'Hey Neighbour, Slow Down' program

which the District has adopted, as well as enforcement to help change behaviour.

Th e number one improvement suggested in Boulevard's report is to provide an alternative access for traffi c from south on Highway 9 to access the Lougheed Highway. King said obviously this will mean the Ministry of Transportation will need to be spearhead this project as it is a provincial intersection.

"It would be a signifi ant benefi t to the town centre / District of Kent," said King.

Th ey looked at options for traffi c going through Mountain View Road towards the Lougheed Highway to bypass the town centre.

"Th is was brought forward by a lot of people at the open houses," said King. Options presented include a right in / right out islands, enforcement and community programs or to cut off Mountain View from Fir Road.

Enforcement is important," said Mayor John Van Laerhoven about the Mountain View traffi c.

"Education is probably moreimportant than that."

In terms of active transportation,Boulevard identifi ed numerouslocations to help improvetransportation for pedestriansand cyclists, including increasedbicycle signage, adding shouldersor separated paths for bikes andconsider sidewalks on both sidesof the road within 500 metres ofschools and heavier pedestrian-use areas, such as to the towncentre of towards the CommunityRecreation & Cultural Centre.

Of course, all these suggestionscome at a cost. Boulevard'sestimation is if the District wantedto upgrade the urban roadsto what's called cross-sectionstandards, including widening,sidewalks and bicycle facilitieswould be $2.2 million. To do thesame on rural cross sections wouldbe $6.8 million.

"Th e cross sections are the ideal- what we would like to have," saysKing. "If we could build the ideal,these are costs."


While District of Kent residents are "well served" by existing parks and recreation amenities, there is always room for improvement, according to a recently completed report for the District.

Lees + Associates was hired to conduct an assessment of what the District has in terms of parks, amenities and trails and come up with a long-term plan for additions and improvements to the local assets. Th eir consultation process included two open houses, one in November, 2014 and one in March, 2015, as well as stakeholder interviews, a Council workshop, staff input and an online questionnaire. Based on their assessment, Less & Associates provided recommendations for the next 25 years, broken into fi ve year increments.

Eric Lees said the

project process included "excellent interactions with Council and the community."

Looking at what exists now, Katy Amon of Lees + Associates commented, "Residents are well-served in terms of their access to parks."

Th e District currently owns and operates 11 parks, and most residences are within a 10 minute walk of a park. Compared to other similar sized communities, the District is well served in amenities including baseball fi elds, outdoor basketball courts, equestrian facilities, soccer fi elds, skateparks, an outdoor pool and tennis courts, according to the report, adding that the quality of most amenities is "high."

Over the next fi ve years, the report recommends the District look to formalize camping permitting process at Alm Park, including installing a portable toilets, benches and picnic tables. Th ey suggest developing a spray park in Agassiz and a site plan for Centennial Park.

Amon said through the consultation process, a lot of feedback was expressed around upgrades of Centennial Park. Some of the ideas for include working with Little League baseball on concession, more equipment storage, batting cages and more, working with skate

park uses to establish improvement priorities, refurbishing the tennis courts and adding pickleball lines, updating the washrooms and adding benches, bike racks and additional planting beds.

Longer term, r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s include updating Vimy Park, providing additional equipment to facilitate more multi-use courts, develop an access point for water sports at Rockwell Drive, acquire and develop a large park at Mount Woodside and Hopyard Hill, and work with a volunteer group to integrate a pump track (like a bike park) in a new park.

In regards to trails, Lees + Associates found that trails such as the Mountain View Trail is viewed as a success, as well as usage of pathways to neighbourhood parks and informal recreational

use of the dykes. Th rough the consultation process, many spoke to trails as "top priorities."

Lees + Associate's recommendations for trails development include working with the Ministry of Transportation and the Village of Harrison Hot Springs to develop a trail between the two communities, seek opportunities to implement an alternate route option on Crown land, develop a circuit trail at Centennial Park and develop a lop trail at Hammersly pump station, amongst other suggestions. A longer-term trail recommendation is to seek out grant to develop a pedestrian and cyclist bridge from Pioneer Ave. to Fooks Road and develop a Fraser River trail loop.

Th e plan was designed to ensure that high

quality, useable parklandis acquired, developedand maintained bythe district, to ensurecommunity access toparks and trails, torespond to changingpublic expectations andlifestyles, to guide thecreation and ongoingdevelopment of parksand to set spending andinvestment priorities intune with communityneeds. Lees & Associates'vision is to provide accessto a range of parks,outdoor recreation andtrail opportunities toresidents of all ages andabilities while strivingto be a healthy andsustainable community.

Katy Amon and EricLees of Lees & Associatespresented the fi nal draft of the Park Acquisition,Improvement and TrailsDevelopment Programto the District of KentCouncil in a specialmeeting June 22.

Harrison Festival opens with diverse blend of local and world talent

Th e 37th annual Harrison Festival of the Arts running July 11 to 19 in beautiful Harrison Hot Springs gets underway with an opening weekend featuring several world class artists from the lower mainland as well as a diverse blend of international styles and performances.

Th e nine day celebration of world music & art begins at noon on Saturday, July 11 with a traditional welcome to the ancestral territory of the Sts’ailes people at the Festival’s lakefront Beach Stage. Th e traditional welcome will be followed immediately by a special performance from local pipe band, Th e Harrison Highlanders, celebrating their 10th year anniversary. A strong showing of hometown talent will continue on the Beach Stage with young Chilliwack group, Th e Curbside Trad Jazz Band, who have been making waves around the province with their classic New Orleans jazz. Another local connection will be with the cinematic folk band Th e Bombadils, with Chilliwack-raised powerhouse Anh Phung on fl ute and harmonica.

Th e Beach Stage will also feature some music that is ideal for dancing in the forecasted sunshine. From Colombia, on both Saturday and Sunday, De Bruces A Mi, a seven piece band will play their own soulful

brand of sunny roots reggae. From Vancouver, Tanga is another large, exciting band with a funky, jazz infused Latin groove appearing Sunday at 5 p.m. on the Beach Stage. Th e Beach Stage program is further diversifi ed with performances by Vancouver’s Chinese string band Red Chamber and Eastern European harmony ensemble the Balkan Babes.

Evenings in the Memorial Hall will feature a joyful performance on Saturday, July 11 from Montreal-based multi-national artists Ayrad, whose highly entertaining style fuses Morroccan pop-tinged songs with oboe, fi ddle and even percussive

dance. On Sunday, July 12, some familiar names will be appearing in the Hall with Th e High Bar Gang, which includes popular singer songwriters Barney Bentall and Shari Ulrich in a project that focuses on classic bluegrass and brings together some of the lower mainland’s fi nest studio and side musicians.

Th e Festival’s weekend workshops and waterfront Art Market also have a strong local connection. Saturday workshops in the Memorial Hall include the very popular Aboriginal Drum Making with Sts’ailes artist Darren Charlie and participatory song workshop with Chilliwack Folk Song Circle. Sunday workshops

include Acappella with the Balkan Babes and AfroCuban Rhythms and Dance with Latin fusion group Tanga.

A staple feature of the Festival for more than 25 years, the juried art market features more than 50 plus vendors from as far away as the Okanagan with a strong showing from the local Fraser Valley including Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Mission. Th is waterfront market off ers a treasure trove of one-of-a-kind home decor, body care, food, fashion and artful creations amidst the small town atmosphere and hospitality of Harrison Hot Springs.

With two music venues, a waterfront Art Market, Visual Art Exhibit, Children’s Day, weekend workshops, Literary Cafe, Evening of Th eatre and new Acoustic Stage the Harrison Festival of the Arts is an event for the whole family.

Admission to the Beach Stage, Art Market, Workshops and Visual Art Exhibit is by donation. Children 12 and under are admitted free to evening Memorial Hall shows. Complete lineup and tickets for the 37th annual Harrison Festival of the Art are available online at www.harrisonfestival.com, by phone at 604-796-3664 or in person at the Ranger Station Art Gallery in Harrison.


Th e 18th annual Art Exhibit opens this weekend at the Harrison Gospel Chapel.

Hosted by the church, the art show runs in conjunction with the Harrison Festival of the Arts each summer. It features a wide range of art including paintings, photography, turned wood items and jewelry.

Event chair Wendy Martin says visitors always enjoy the unique art on display and like the change from the outdoor festival and beach activities to an indoor venue. Anywhere from 200 to 400 visitors attend the show each year, with folks signing the guestbook from England, across the United States and of course local residents too.

“People always comment that it’s a good variety of art and that it’s professional,” says Martin.

One of the 15 artists this year is local photographer Gerald Neufeld. He is a landscape photographer and will be bringing his Fraser Valley and beyond photos to the show. Neufeld, who attends Harrison Gospel Chapel, says while he has always had an interest in photography, he has had time to focus on it more in the last 10 years or so.

“In more recent years, I’ve gotten to appreciate the landscape around us,” says Neufeld. “I enjoy nature and appreciate God’s creation.”

Pastor Brian Cool says his church defi nitely values the arts, with an unusually large amount of musicians and artists coming out of a small congregation. He sees a connection between faith and art.

“God is a creative God, and He’s given us the ability to create,” explains Cool. “Th ere’s a role of an artist in culture, to be able to speak into the world about things in another way

. . . Th ere’s a profoundness in what’s being explained.”

Organizers invite locals and visitors alike to check out this year’s exhibit.

“We aspire to be a key destination during the Festival for people who enjoy viewing visual art in a quiet, relaxed, comfortable indoor environment,” states Martin.

Th e exhibit runs July 11-12 and July 17-19 from 12-5 p.m. Admission is free and all are welcome. Th ere will also be door prizes, a silent auction, kids’ colouring area and free refreshments.

In addition to the show, the chapel hosts a “faith and Art” Sunday worship service July 12 and 19 at 10:30 a.m.

Th e Harrison Gospel Chapel is at 514 Lilllooet Ave. For more information, see www.harrisongospelchapel.com

Outlook cloudy for climate policies

Warm weather means extra care

Canada Day has long been the unoffi cial start of summer. Last week, school playgrounds stood quiet for the fi rst time in a long time as students traded their books for beachwear.

But Agassiz and Harrison residents could be excused for thinking summer started months ago.

It has been hot, and unseasonably dry for the past three months. And that’s not just a casual observation; it’s borne out by the statistics.

Th e hot weather is expected to ease this weekend, but not until aft er a blistering two weeks of temperatures that crept into the low 30s.

For some, the warm weather is a welcome change from our dark and sometimes dreary winters.

For others, however, it poses a real risk. Seniors in particular are vulnerable to the extreme heat. Not only is it more diffi cult for their bodies to regulate temperatures, but the heat may also exacerbate other medical conditions.

Th is community has a great tradition of helping elderly residents clear snow in the wintertime.

We need to be equally vigilant during the summer. If you know someone who may be aff ected by the hot weather, off er them a ride to the grocery store, even if the distance is short. Ensure they have adequate supplies at home. Or just check on them from time to time to make sure everything is all right.

Of course, there are precautions we should all take in this heat. Proper hydration and the liberal application of sunscreen is a must.

And remember your pets. A car becomes a coffi n in just minutes even if the windows are open. Leave your animals at home, or take them with you. But never leave them in a vehicle.

Weather experts are predicting a hot dry summer for B.C.But it won’t be long before we’re all complaining about the rain again.

Victoria – Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau came to Vancouver last week to unveil his environmental platform for the Oct. 19 federal election.

Trudeau promised an overhaul of the National Energy Board and a vaguely defi ned intention to work with provinces to impose a “price” on carbon dioxide emissions across the country.

Trudeau’s media tour took him to the Burnaby facilities of General Fusion, where, like Premier Christy Clark a few weeks before, he stood at his podium before a prototype fusion reactor. Th is massive octopus of pistons and wires is an attempt to capture the nuclear reaction that powers the Sun and other stars, containing its fury within steel walls and magnetic fi elds.

Th e old joke about controlled fusion is that every 20 years, scientists tell us it’s just 20 years away. If it ever is developed, such a process could quickly put an end to our hand-wringing about fossil fuels, largely replacing them with endless, emission-free energy.

Th is is the type of technological revolution that Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s offi cials indicated would be needed, aft er Canada announced a pledge with other G7 leaders to make their economies carbon-free by 2100. Th at’s right, some time within the next 85 years.

Clark visited General Fusion in May to announce her new climate action advisory panel, which has to give her a plan to take to Paris next December. Th at’s the next big United Nations climate summit, where Trudeau hopes to lead a delegation of premiers to stop the fl ow of “fossil awards” given to Canada by people in polar bear suits.

Asked about the fusion reactor

she had just toured, Clark laughed off the question, comparing it to the “fl ux capacitor” used for time travel in the Michael J. Fox movie

Back to the Future.Trudeau recently told university

students that we need to change our concepts of time and space, and he didn’t seem to be kidding.

Th e point here for voters is that all these leaders, Harper, Trudeau, Clark and many others,

are talking down to you. You aren’t sophisticated enough to understand this climate business.

Th e Pope has weighed in, assuring us that carbon trading systems are not going to cut it. Th is is a rebuke to California, Quebec and the European Union, where eff ective carbon trading is, like controlled fusion, just around the corner.

Pope Francis warned that our “throwaway culture” views nature “solely as a source of profi t and gain” and so people won’t voluntarily do the right thing. (Th e results of the Metro Vancouver transit plebiscite could be interpreted this way, if you ignore the bumbling, waste and political posturing that really did it in.)

Th e Pope concludes that there is “an urgent need” for a “true world political authority” to impose order on the greedy capitalist humans that infest our beautiful planet. Presumably this would be the run by the UN, so my advice is

to start hoarding candles and cat food now.

B.C.’s frozen carbon tax has ceased to have much eff ect, with gasoline consumption back up over 2008 levels amid the usual volatility of prices. Gasoline is going for around $1.30 a litre, despite the prolonged slump in crude oil prices, and people have basically forgotten about this tax on top of all the other gas taxes.

Perhaps B.C. can brag in Paris about the Pacifi c Carbon Trust, which limps along aft er its near-death experience in 2013.

Th e trust continues to divert tax dollars from B.C. government operations to purported carbon-saving activities, including paying coastal First Nations not to log the portions of forests that they demanded be preserved.

Agassiz mayor & councillors have now joined Harrison Hot Springs mayor and councillors by voting themselves what can only be described as a full-time wage for the mayor and a part time wage for the councillors. While some members of council may be worthy of their payment others fall far short. How many members of our council already have a full-time occupation, business or other interest which may impact on the time and eff ort needed to take care of Village business?

I would propose that all elected members of the council publish on the municipal web site a weekly diary to

inform the residents of what council business they have planned for the week ahead and the hours they are available to meet with residents and municipal staff . Th is weekly diary will then be updated to show what hours were actually worked.

I would expect that the mayor to put in 20 hours a week and each councillor 15 hours per week.

Controls need to be in place just like any other employment for residents to see as they pay their wages.

Council accountability

Smells like fish in HarrisonDuring the

deforestation along Hot Springs Road, (formerly belonging to Peter Kingma), I found it easy to recall back past conversations and observe some mentionable fl aws.

Back when the land was originally purchased, Council approved to build on land that “was not originally meant to be developed” - (Ken Becotte), because the land had already been purchased and it was “too diffi cult to redirect plans” - (Council), however; when the land is resold you approve it

again without notice, even when you’re given the opportunity to not.

Th en, upon building you approve the minimum riparian zone without a buff er, trees on the inner border of the riparian zone associated with aerial trespass are further cut back turning your original 15m riparian zone to a 14m riparian zone. Once the area has been developed you lose 7m +/- 0.5m to buff er region which leaves you ~7m of functional riparian zone. Th is zone is dissected by a footpath which severely

impairs the ecosystems interactions and viability. On top of this you leave the invasive vegetation, decrease water conservation and promote destruction of any functional habitat. Top-notch Harrison, I applaud you. I’m sure it will all be for the best when you rise to be that economic powerhouse you are striving so hard to become.

It smells like fi sh in here Harrison, but I give you credit for being so smooth.

Trudeau a man of the peopleIn the editorial labelled Trudeau’s

messaging (editorial, July 2) you state that the Conservative Party is ahead of the Liberals wherein the June 26 poll shows the NDP with 35%, the Liberals with 29% and the Conservatives at 28%. Not as you stated in your editorial.

You are obviously not a Liberal fan and should keep that to yourself.

As for Trudeau saying that he would like to bring in electoral reform just shows that he agrees with the NDP and the Green parties.

His quick email to all shows that he is a man of the people and in no way does it sound as if it was written to look like “a buddy’s drunk test on a Saturday night”. Th e same goes for the message he sent out aft er the broadcast. He is a normal Canadian

who values family time as well as his work. When has there ever been a politician anywhere who wanted to get the message out to the people by letting us know he is just like all of us.

One must remember that he was taught by one of the greatest politicians in the history of Canada, Pierre Elliot Trudeau. Many people did not like his line on running the country because he was ahead of his time and the people of this country could not get their heads around his ideas at the time. He was a man who would have taught his sons well and Justin is showing that he was taught well.

By Sue LawrenceSPECIAL TO THE OBSERVER

On a very hot weekend the pool sounds like a great place to be. However when you are a competitive swimmer, hanging out a pool is a bit diff erent than just fl oating around to get cool.

Th is weekend 28 young summer club swimmers from Agassiz Harrison Aquanauts spent many hours sitting and cheering at the pool side waiting for their 30 seconds to 3 minute time to swim as fast as possible. Half of them swam fast enough to make it to fi nals. For Bentley McMullin was thrilled that his 5th place fi nish in 50 breast got him a best time and a chance to get to fi nals for the fi rst time. Th en he swam even faster in the fi nals to get another best time! Mark Schwichtenber made it to fi nals in 50 breast with a 4th place fi nish and then sped up to fi nish second in the fi nals. Morgan Sparkes and his brother Logan are both natural swimmers. Morgan

came 2nd in 50 back. Logan came 2nd in 200 IM, 3rd in 50 fl y and 3rd in 100 back.

Th roughout the whole weekend Jaydin Lees and her sister Taylor were swimming in the same event a few lanes apart. Nothing like sisterly competition to make you work harder. In all four of their events they both qualifi ed for fi nals. Jayden came 1st in 50 free and 100 free, 2nd in 50 fl y and 100 breast. Her sister came 4th in 100 free, 5th in 50 free and 6th in 100 breast and 100 free.

Justine Stoeckly and her younger brother Anton and Dana are another set of sibling

powerhouses. Justine and Anton qualifi ed for fi nals in all their events. Anton came 2nd in 50 free, 50 fl y and 100 free and 3rd in 100 breast. Justine had a beautiful 200 IM time and also fi nally broke her long standing best time by taking 10 seconds off , which is huge in swim world times. She came 6th in the fi nal for that event. She also came 6th in 50 free, 50 fl y and 3rd in 100 breast. Dana came 3rd in 50 back, 4th in 50 fl y and 5th in 100 IM.

Amarri Reynen is no slouch in the pool. Th is young swimmer worked really hard and achieved a grand

1st place fi nish in 50fl y. She also came 3rdin 50 back and 100 fl y.Katelyn Gafk a workedhard spraying teammates with water tokeep them cool and alsoswam hard: she came4th in 100 back and 6thin 100 breast. NashonDouglas as alwayseff ortlessly sprinted to a1st place fi nish in 50 fl yand 100 fl y. Our greatcoach Joran Torok andhis sister Sydney Torokwere there to motivate,encourage andcongratulate swimmersas they learned toexercise in the heat. Incase you think coachesjust sit there and talkabout swimmingtechniques, think again.Sydney swam to a 1stplace fi nish in 50 fl yand Jordan came 2ndin 50 fl y. Th e AHAparents (especially ourpresident CatherineSchwichtenberg, KimHastie and Th eresaStoeckly) workedlong hours doingvarious offi cials' work(like stroke and turnmonitoring, computerwork, timing) to helpmake sure the swimmeet was a success.

What a party! Both Agassiz and Harrison celebrated Canada’s 148th birthday in style. Agassiz firefighters brought joy with firehose fun. Volunteers put on a superb pancake breakfast at the Legion. Lions club volunteers staffed a booth for Canada flag creations. The John Welsh Band per-formed in Harrison’s out-door plaza and later on a parade took over the streets. Children’s games took place on the Harrison beachfront.

In The Garden

Watering has become a ‘way of life’ for us. Th ose who garden are watering 1-2 times a day and those who don’t have a garden, are glad they don’t! Municipal water restrictions are in place which means little or no watering for the “non-essentials”. Use your own judgement. Dead-heading of annuals and perennials is another task that should be done for the next couple of months. Once seed has ‘set’ or allowed to ripen, the plant has done its work and then begins to decline.

Th e vegetable garden is in full production. Potatoes that we planted in large containers with last fall’s garden waste have been producing for a several weeks. Without the usual garden soil, the spuds are clean and only need a rinse before preparation for the table. Th e majority of our raspberry fruit is infected with the small white larva of the Spotted Wing Drosophila Fruit Fly. It is very sad to see the canes loaded with damaged red fruit. Picking berries as soon as they are ripe in June is the only way to get a harvest. Destroying the infected fruit to interrupt the life cycle is recommended, but with a large patch like ours, that is impossible. Th e fl y infests most ripe backyard fruit, blueberries, strawberries, etc. Commercial growers can purchase products approved for control of the fl y, some are accepted for organic crops.

Questions and answersMy daylily plants have several

distorted fl ower buds. Instead of the normal long shape, the buds are

rounded and petals are thick and puckered. Are the plants short on water?

Th e Hemerocallis (Daylily) Gall Midge has laid eggs in the tiny buds and the larvae have caused the buds to be deformed. Th ey grow inside the bud, drop to the ground and pupate for the winter. Th ere is only one generation per year and some daylily varieties are more preferred than others. Th e Stella D’Oro variety does not seem to be aff ected. To decrease the number of deformed buds next year, start monitoring when buds fi rst appear in the spring. Destroy distorted buds by putting them in a plastic bag and into the garbage. Inform the nearby neighbors to destroy theirs also. Th ere are no registered chemical control products.

Th e berries on our strawberry plants are small, seedy and distorted. Am I doing something wrong?

Th is condition is called “cat-facing” and is caused by the Lygus species, Western Tarnished Plant Bug. Th ey overwinter as adults in leaf litter or similar protected places and emerge in spring to feed on weeds, mate and then move on to the new growth on our dear garden plants. Eggs are then inserted into the strawberry plant. Th e newly hatched nymphs feed on the berries as they are forming causing the deformed fruit. Th e adultinsect is greenish or reddish brown with a white or yellow green triangle on a shield-like back. Controlling the Plant Bug is diffi cult for the home gardener. Interestingly, California strawberry growers will use vacuums to reduce the numbers, but that technique will also remove benefi cial insects that could be natural biological controls. Any insecticidal control will also aff ect bees needed to pollinate the strawberry fl owers.

Lorraine Anne Steeves (nee Lougheed)

1934 - 2015

Lorraine was born in Vancouver B.C. to Norman Lougheed and Bea Lougheed (nee Welpton).She graduated the Vancouver School of Art in 1951 and had a lifelong love of calligraphy and china painting.In 1952 Lorraine married an American naval airman and moved to L.A., California. She gave birth to a son who died tragically of SIDS at two months old. After trouble conceiving again, they adopted a baby girl, Chriss, who is now 55 and living in California.In 1976, Lorraine and her mother came to B.C. for an aunt and uncle’s 50th wedding anniversary. She called an old Vancouver childhood boyfriend, Dave, just to say hello. They met, and feelings blossomed anew.A long distance romance ensued, with many visits back and forth, letters, and hours and hours spent on the telephone. They were married in 1980.Dave and Lorraine enjoyed many years of camping, canoeing, back-roading, and traveling to every end-of-the-road place in B.C.But in the last few years, Lorraine’s bad back and declining health slowed these activities, although the enjoyment of just being together endured to the end. Lorraine leaves behind husband Dave in Pitt Meadows, BC; daughter Chriss in California, and granddaughter Kerstin, also in California; step-daughter Judy in Delta, BC.The family is planning for a Celebration of Life sometime in August.
