Opportunities SOAR for Guides Dairy Diva program just one option for girls in camp Jessica Peters THE OBSERVER

Calf number 1073 snores dreamily in the corner of her stall at the UBC Dairy Research Centre. Her hair is unkempt, curly and wet. Her front legs are tucked under her body, which is rising and falling with each breath. She curls up more and falls into an even deeper sleep, ignoring the gaggle of girls watching her from outside the stall. Weighing in at a healthy 37 kilograms, this little black and white creature is the newest calf on the working dairy farm. She's only 12 hours old. And for that, she gets the biggest oohs and ahhs from a small group of Girl Guides and their leaders. They toured through the centre Tuesday morning as part of Dairy Divas, a program designed specifically to draw in Guides while they were in Agassiz for the SOAR camp this week. Tours were held throughout the week, drawing in about 100 of the 1,400 Guides and Pathfinders staying in town this week. Dairy Divas was just one of the many programs girls could sign up for. "Awww... She's not even a day old," one girl sighs. They all wonder why the baby isn't mooing, calling for milk like the calves in the other pens. Their tour guide, a student working at the dairy centre, explains that she already fed the calf four litres of milk in the middle of the night. That's a lot of milk for a brand new calf, and she's sleeping off the splurge. "She's pretty full," she tells the girls, who pull out their CONTINUED ON 3

Police are looking for information about a theft of wire and equipment from a building holding these panel boxes on Cemetary Road.

$80,000 wire theft

You're invited to the 2011

“Chasing Pirates” Treasure Hunt AUGUST 6TH

Police are looking for information on theft of a large amount of wire from an abandoned gravel pit in the 3100 block of Cemetery Road in Agassiz. Police say the theft occurred sometime between June 16 and 30, but the complainant wasn’t aware the theft had occurred until June 30, as he hadn’t been to the site. There was $80,000 worth of electrical equipment and wire reported to be stolen from the shop on the property. The site is an abandoned gravel pit with a trailer for an office and other out buildings including a large shop and a small electrical building. The electrical building had a dead bolt on the door which was punched out and the door was forced open to gain entry. An electrical panel on the wall and one panel that was mounted to the floor had been stripped out from the conduit attached

to the walls and the wiring was gone. The second damaged building had only electrical equipment in it. The electrical panel mounted to the wall had the wiring stripped out of it as well. There was also a panel laying on the floor with the wiring stripped out of it. There was a large metal clad shop where entry was attempted as the doors had been pried open a small amount, but not enough for a person to get through. “This is a significant loss for the owner,” said Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth. “Being such a small community we are hoping someone may have information to assist us in solving this crime.” Anyone with information is asked to call the Agassiz RCMP at 604-796-2211 or report a tip anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

The Harrison Lake Poker Run Society is thrilled to present & sponsor this fun run event for 2011. In carrying on the great tradition of fun & boating, the Harrison Lake Poker Run Society decided to host a smaller event this year with just as much excitement as in other years.

cameras to capture images of the young, sleepy heifer. They move on to another row of individual pens, where the cows are wide awake, a few days older, and definitely hungry. Then, the girls are given milk bottles equipped with plastic 'udders', to carry out the best job of all — feeding two of the heifers, Henrietta and Gummy Bear. The pair eats greedily, pushing their faces against the bottles, spilling milk, and jumping with joy. The girls laugh. "I'm so happy I took Dairy Divas now," says Alexa Davis, a member of the 2nd Cloveridge Guides. For Alexis Roscoe, from the Ruby Creek #36 troop in Surrey, feeding calves is a thrill, but nothing new. "They always have calves in the barn at the PNE," she says, and kids can feed them during demonstrations throughout the fair. But the whole feeding process begs the question from the group — where are the babies' moms? And they learn that the answer —that all the calves are separated from their mother's shortly after birth — is a fact of life on dairy farms. It's easier on both mother and calf, and gives the calves a cleaner environment to live in. But it's not the end of the mother and calf bond. That utmost important mother's milk, colostrum, is still fed to the calves for the first few feedings of their lives. Calves aren't born with the immune system that humans have, and colostrum is loaded with potentially life-saving antibodies. And because they need to measure the amount of colostrum a calf is getting, they milk

the mothers and feed the cows pasteurized milk. Measuring milk intact is just one of the many jobs at UBC's WestGen Calf Research Centre. Here, they're not just breeding cows for the purpose of producing milk. They're breeding for science discovery, with the goal of improving both the dairy industry and the general health of cattle. And this is what the Guides are visiting the Research

questions, such as 'if you were a cow, what would you like to have in your pen with you?' And when they were done in the barn, the Guides moved onto the classroom to learn about calcium — the great dairy connection. Registered dietician Rola Zahr spoke to the girls about the importance of dairy products, or fortified soy products, to improve and maintain

Do they prefer to have birthing rooms, or birthing in their pens. How often are they lying down? When do they sleep? For their part, the Guides had to answer their own set of research

Guides getting around town It would be impossible to miss the Girl Guides as they visited Agassiz

and the surrounding area this week. Their colourful hats covered with pins, and tradable goods have been seen all over town, and in communities across the Fraser Valley and Vancouver area. While many of the girls were out on information scavenger hunts, learning about Agassiz, there have also been a number of service projects going on. Each Guide was given the task of completing 2.5 hours of community service, and for some that meant packing up school supplies to be delivered to local families. On Saturday night, the group paraded through Agassiz, displaying their banners from around the world before heading back to their camp at Centennial Park for an opening ceremony that included Mayor Lorne Fisher, Harrison's Mayor Ken Becotte and Chilliwack's Mayor Sharon Gaetz. The night ended with a performance by Victoria Duffield, a young Abbotsford singer who has performed on YTV's The Next Star. The Guides' closing ceremony will be held tonight at Centennial Park before the campers head back home. Linda Fairley, public relations for SOAR 2011, said that although there are no Guiding groups in Agassiz, Harrison Hot Springs or Hope, they are hoping someone locally will step forward to volunteer and create a group. SOAR is held every three years, in communities around the province. Fairley says Agassiz is the "most urban" location they've chosen to date, offering a variety of new opportunities to the Guides, such as the parade. news@ahobserver.com

If you put a police officer on every street corner, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have crime on that intersection. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the theory behind the RCMPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Upper Fraser Valley Strategic Plan, Superintendent Keith Robinson said. He has been explaining the latest plan to all the councils in the area. On Monday night, he spoke to Hopeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council and next heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in Harrison Hot Springs. There are three directives in the 2011-2013 plan, he told The Observer. They are to create safer communities, optimize RCMP resources and support RCMP staff and members. Creating safer communities is his number one goal, he added. And one of the easiest ways to get there is to increase visibility. Putting

As superintendent, Robinson keeps the districts and municipalities informed of police strategies and plans.

CONCERT SERIES

Research station celebrates 125 years of science discoveries Jessica Peters THE OBSERVER

Life as a scientist is a life of learning. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the constant research, the number crunching, the field studies, and the reading and re-reading of data. And on Saturday, the researchers studying at the Pacific Agricultural Research Station in Agassiz were able to share their love of learning with the general public, through an open house. Displays were set up throughout the facility, and visitors were able to interact with scientists, look at specimens through microscopes, and learn about topics varying from the life cycle of wireworms to the cultivation of hardy raspberry crops. UVic co-op biology student Austin Eakin has been studying at the research station for the past few month, and spent Saturday explain-

ing wireworms, whose larvae feed on farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; crops such as wheat and potatoes. In the past, he explained, Thimet was used to control the pests. But that practice was banned in this province after the substance was finding its way out of farms. How that happened details the importance of finding environmentally friendly farming practices. Thimet was â&#x20AC;&#x153;leakingâ&#x20AC;? from farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fields into nearby ponds, Eakin explained. From there, the ducks were ingesting the substance when scooping up dirt for grit. In turn, bald eagles were ingesting the Thimet when preying on ducks. And because an eagle knows to grab the duckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throat, where it holds its meals, the birds were getting a full dose of Thimet. Dr. Tom Forge was also on hand at the

In Agassiz, that means they can plant test subjects and control subjects, insert the tubes and cause less disruption to the soil. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one small part of the research going on at the station, but research into even the smallest molecules of science have evolved into big changes in the world of agriculture, Forge said.

Opinion QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Wrong decision

Will garbage incineration in Vancouver affect the health of Fraser Valley residents?

Disappointing is among the milder word that can be used to describe the province’s decision to endorse Metro’s regional waste plan, which includes the incineration of garbage. Unacceptable is closer to the mark. On Monday, Minister of Environment Terry Lake gave his approval, despite loud and sustained opposition to burning of waste – particularly from the Valley, and its regional representatives. Those voices, along with a number of experts, have expressed their concerns over the known issues associated with the waste-to-energy incineration option – and more importantly, the risks that aren’t fully understood, such as the effects of nanoparticles and dioxins that are produced in the process. Apprently, those arguments were not enough to cause the environment minister to axe or restrict the incineration portion of the plan, which also calls for a serious push for increased recycling and composting of household organics. The latter, we heartily support. It’s not a done deal yet. Assuming the Metro board will actually pursue the incineration option (little doubt there), it has to clear the location hurdle. That’s obviously key for the Fraser Valley, since it’s a simple fact that the emissions from a waste-to-energy plant in the Lower Mainland will be driven into the Valley already stressed airshed due to the area’s geography. If incineration is to proceed, a far better option would be a site far away from our backyard, such as the proposed Gold River alternative on Vancouver Island. Ostensibly, if Metro and the FV regional district can’t reach agreement on the matter, it will go to arbitration. Hopefully, there’s still plenty of ﬁght left in this region’s politicians and public. This battle isn’t – can’t be – over.

HST horror stories fading away B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher The B.C. government has released its audited public accounts for what Bill Vander Zalm enthusiasts strain to depict as Year One of the Harmonized Sales Tax Apocalypse. So let’s survey this allegedly bleak landscape of shuttered hair salons and seniors hoarding pet food, waiting for Belgian bureaucrats to come calling for more. Retail sales increased 5.3 per cent in 2010. Growth has softened so far this year, but there’s no evidence it’s due to the HST. (Retail sales are mostly goods, which are mostly unaffected.) B.C.’s economy grew by four per cent, third in Canada behind those new northern tigers Saskatchewan and Newfoundland. We beat Alberta as well as have-

not Ontario. The provincial deficit dropped by nearly a billion dollars, even though spending on government services continued its relentless rise with another billion-dollar increase. That’s four per cent spending growth, the same as the growth rate of the economy. But as usual, two thirds of it is health care spending, growing closer to twice that fast. Hair salons? My barber voted No to Vander Zalm. His accounting is simpler, his price is still reasonable and customers aren’t generally prepared to start cutting their own hair. Restaurant association head Ian Tostenson predicted thousands of restaurants would close because of HST, and then mused about running for premier. Fortunately, we were spared from both of these scenarios. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon put out some spin about how tight-fisted spending control brought the deficit down from

the 10-figure range. Prudence, he called it. Prune juice is more like it. It was economic growth that paid the bills, with mills and mines opening and consumers spending.

“Or we can return to a 60-year-old retail sales tax developed for a post-war, pre-service economy...” Former premier Bill Bennett’s observation still applies: B.C. is a small, open resource economy in a volatile world market. Commodity markets have strengthened to the point where even the rising Canadian dollar is being overcome. Expansion to Asia is proceeding, assisted by a long-term federal-provincial strategy that the NDP opposed.

A skilled labour shortage already exists in the B.C. northeast and is forecast to spread across the province. The government’s latest labour market survey estimates that B.C. will be in a labour shortage by 2016, and there will be one million job openings by 2020. One-third of these will come from economic growth, twothirds from retiring baby boomers. Unlike next year’s HST revenues, this prediction is relatively easy to make with precision. Job growth does depend, however, on a competitive tax environment, with competition from Ontario and elsewhere. The public accounts also confirm what we found out last fall, that HST revenues have run ahead of expectations. HST haters like to claim the tax was promised to be revenue neutral. That finance ministry estimate was only for the first year, and it proved pessimistic. As with gasoline prices, external forces

drown out B.C. tax adjustments in the short term. Currently, it looks as if going back to the old provincial sales tax will cost the treasury about $600 million in revenue in each of the next few years. HST rate cuts are made up by economic growth. Or we can return to a 60-yearold retail sales tax developed for a post-war, pre-service economy, and continue a B.C. political debate that revolves around 30-yearold socialist ideology. The deficit will immediately jump back up to the 10-digit range.

Bioblitz brings science to Spring Park A successful bioblitz was held in Harrison over the July 15 weekend. With the help of specialists and members of the public, 305 species of plants and animals were recorded. Two teams went out Saturday to explore; one around the townsite and the other to the East Sector woods. A total of two provincially red (endangered or threatened) listed and four blue (special concern) listed species were identified of which one was federally endangered (Salish sucker), one threatened (barn swallow) and two special concern (Great Blue Heron, fannini ssp., Northern red-legged Frog). After the opening barbecue on Friday evening at Rendall Park, specialists from BCIT mist netted bats in Spring Park. About 20 members of the public got up close and personal with seven little brown myotis bats (myotis lucifugus). The South Coast Conservation Program in partnership with the Fraser Valley Watersheds Coalition, Stanley Park Ecological Society and the Miami River Streamkeepers sponsored the Harrison event. The Village of Harrison Hot Springs supported the event with tables and poster printing and distribution. Thanks go also to the Friends of the East Sector group for their support of the barbecue and the blitz teams. Vancity’s enviroFund and BC Timber A little brown myotis bat. Sales funded the event.

A special thanks goes to the Bungalow Motel & Cascade Adventures for table storage and electricity, and to Back Porch for supplying the coffee. On Saturday at Spring Park, Dr. Mike Pearson displayed live Salish Suckers from the Miami as well as rainbow trout, pike minnow and red shiners. Zo-Ann Morton of the Pacific Streamkeepers Federation surveyed bugs and put them on display for the public. Jeanne Hughes of the Fraser Valley Invasive Plant Council and Carrielyn Victor of Cheam Nation led a plant walk to learn about invasive as well as edible plants. The organizers are hoping to make this an annual event. Whistler's bioblitz is in its fifth year and takes place August 5 and 6. Stanley Parks inaugural one takes place August 20 and 21. A bioblitz brings together the public, scientists and local stewards to identify as many living things possible in a given place in a given time. Plan to take part and stay tuned for 2012 in Harrison. More information is readily available online. On behalf of the Miami River Streamkeepers, Janne Perrin

Geese aren’t the only problem Re: Marilyn Derksen’s letter, Observer, July 22. I feel it important that no blame be attached to Festival of the Arts for fowl droppings on Harrison’s beach. Neither the Village nor the Festival sponsors are allowed to disturb the geese in any manner according to wildlife regulations. On the other hand, tourists contribute to the problem by feeding the geese. I have personally observed Harrison tourists bury soiled baby diapers in the sand, while waste bins are provided conveniently all along the beachfront. Geese are just one of the problems to plague our beaches. (I note that Cultus Lake is also experiencing problems related to geese.) K.C. Curry Chilliwack

Province approves regional waste plan

THE OBSERVER IS

LOOKING FOR LOVE STORIES

Kevin Diakiw BLACK PRESS

The province has endorsed the regional waste plan, which includes the incineration of garbage. The region adopted the Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan (ISWRMP) a year ago this week. On Monday, Minister of Environment Terry Lake gave it his approval. Aside from incineration, plan also calls for an aggressive push for increased recycling and composting of household organics. Metro board chair Lois Jackson said Monday the provincial approval was great news. “This solid waste management plan will help us preserve nonrenewable resources, save energy, generate revenue, protect the environment and reduce greenhouse gases,” Jackson said. The ISWRMP was the result of an exhaustive public consultation and involves several methods of waste disposal as the region attempts to cut down the amount of garbage headed for the landfill. The targets are an 80 per cent diversion in the amount of waste heading for landfills, which are quickly hitting their maximum allowable intake. “But even with high diversion rates, we still need to deal with the

more than one million tonnes of waste we cannot recycle, and the new plan does that by focusing on the recovery of materials and energy from the garbage that remains,” Jackson said. Surrey Acting Mayor Marvin Hunt said he was thrilled the plan got provincial approval. The former chair of the Metro Vancouver Waste Committee said it was about 15 years in the making to find a plan regional directors could agree upon. “Now the work comes as we try to deal with technologies and find out what are the best technologies in the world to deal with our solid waste,” Hunt said. “This is a very good day.” Jackson said the plan looks at garbage as a resource and an opportunity to find better ways to protect our planet. “This is a plan that protects the environment and also generates revenue that will help pay for the things we need to safely and responsibly manage our garbage,” Jackson said. Mayor Dianne Watts said at the time the region passed the plan that there’s a huge host of emerging technologies that should be considered. She also noted the Fraser Valley is vehemently opposed to incineration close to home.

SPECIALS: June 28th to Aug. 3rd

“We have to respect their views as well,” Watts said, adding she would approve of an out of region facility. “I think it’s the most balanced approach.” Because of strong public reaction to decrease the amount of garbage going to landfills, Metro staff are recommending an 80 per cent diversion by 2020. Previously, the goal had been a 70 per cent diversion by 2015. Part of the plan is to compost all residential organics by 2012 and by 2015, banning all such food and kitchen waste from landfills. At least one green group is upset with the fact that Environment Minister Terry Lake approved the plan. “Decisions like this one today would seem to suggest that Minister Lake sees his job as helping big companies get around dealing with environmental concerns, rather than actually protecting our environment,” said Ben West, Healthy Communities Campaigner with the Wilderness Committee. “The real fight will begin when they pick a location and try to build one of these pollution-spewing garbage-burning monsters,” said West. “Wherever they try to do this we will be there to make sure people know the truth about what is being proposed in their backyard.”

The Agassiz Harrison Lions held their annual car show on Sunday in Agassiz, filling Pioneer Avenue with cars of every era, make and model. Trophies were handed out to the top four cars, of the 82 cars that came from all over the Fraser Valley and Vancouver area. Organizers say the car show had a much larger turnout than the previous year, and the event included live entertainment and a barbecue concession. The event raised $605 for breast cancer research, through raffle tickets. Other proceeds from the event, such as the concession sales, will go back into the community through various donations.

gus dinner at their house in Popkum and we all became friends. Soon after, my husband Heinz and I attemped to start a hiking team. It was a humble beginning! On hike number three along the Rosedale Dike, we were only three people: Heinz, myself and Erika. Our rules stated that, for safety reasons, no hike should be undertaken with less than four people so in case of trouble two could stay together and two would go for help. What to do? We saved the dilemma by counting Erika’s dog, Columbus, as a person! Luckily, we never had to do this again, but Columbus became our mascot. (Later we had to establish a “no dogs” rule) At the end of this hike, I asked Erika if her husband would not like to come along? She was doubtful, thinking that

Our Core Planning Group, Coordinators and Volunteers, provided input and tireless commitment to the planning process, which lead to the success of the 35th Annual Elders Gathering. Their respectful participation was a success and welcomed over 5000 participants. The 35th Elders Gathering could not have taken place without our sponsors.

he might prefer to hike just by himself. I pointed out that it was much safer to hike in a group and she related it to him. He must have agreed because from then on he joined the team. So, we hiked together for many years, up mountains and through valleys, in Wells Grey Park, around a lodge near Lac La Hache, at Cathedral Lake and in Manning Park, on Vancouver Island, Galiano Island and Quadra Island. Over time, there were five teams, grouped according to their capabilities.

Later on, Hermann joined “The Troopers”, the top team that no other team could match, with Joan and Allen Vogstad being their leaders for many years, while Erika and I stayed with “The Wanderers,” of which Heinz was the leader. But, while all five teams could be found on different trails each week, we all socialized and went on hiking trips together. It was a great time that none of us would have liked to miss, I am sure. One day, up in Whistler, something new happened. It was raining without end, the gondola was out of operation and we had to stay in the val-

ley. We walked, but, yes, it was miserable. To improve the situation, Erika started to sing some hiking songs. Others joined and I thought it sounded very beautiful and that such talent should not go undetected! The idea was born and we became the Multicultural Singers and later the Harrison Hot Springs Multicultural Choir. Erika was a really good sport! Even when she thought my ideas were “way out,” she supported whatever we did

For a brief moment her face lit up and she said, “this I will never forget.” Though Erika lived in Popkum during her retirement years, much of her social life played out in Harrison Hot Springs. Fittingly, a Celebration of Life with all her friends and fellow volunteers attending, was held at the Harrison Hot springs Memorial Hall on July 27, 2011.

And so, while Heinz and Hermann became the pillars of the Harrison Hikers, Erika was one of the co-founders of both the hiking group and the choir as well.

T Mr. and Mrs. Peter Visser sold their farm and held an auction of their household items. They were leaving their Vimy Road house and returning to Holland after several years of farming in this area. T The Upper Fraser Valley softball league started their playoffs. Competition was fierce. Allen Vogstad and Ted Westlin shared pitching duties for the home team for a shut-out. In another game, Jack Striker hit a home run with two on bases in the 8th inning to bring the fans to their feet, cheering. T Fifty years ago whitewashing dairy and poultry barns was an important annual ritual for controlling insects and cleanliness. Composed mostly of slaked lime and water and sometimes molasses or another additive to thicken the mixture, it repelled both insects and water. Ads appeared in newspapers or entrepreneurs simply visited farms in mosquito and fly season offering to spray the interiors of livestock buildings with whitewash using compressed air. Another name for whitewash is calcimine.

Gerri Charles, proprietor of Champagne & Lace, was acclaimed chair for 2011. In addition, their secretary is Kathleen Rake, of Click Media Works. The foundation board also consists of Sandy Ellis, Tanya Curtis (Nutriva Group), Susan Bubra (Face Beautiful Cosmedic), Jessica Germaine (Raabe-Germaine Chiropractic Clinic), Aman Gill (Anand Events & Décor), Chris Franklin (the Agassiz-HarrisonHope Observer newspaper), Dixie Jacobsen (Tip Top Carpet One), and Brittany Manulak (Concept Plumbing & Gas).
