Police received a call at 3:55 a.m. and the man was arrested later that morning. There was no warning issued in the community, McCarthy said, because the suspect was quickly arrested. He reminded everyone to be cautious of their surroundings at all times, even in areas close to home.

Police say the suspect from a sexual assault over the weekend has been arrested and is set to appear in court this week. A 23-year-old woman was reportedly walking in a Seabird Island neighbourhood early Sunday morning, when she was allegedly sexually assaulted by a 21-year-old man.

BC Transit vice president Mike Davis speaks with media about the Transit Future bus during a stop in Chilliwack at City Hall on Monday morning.

Envisioning transit's future What will it take to get people out of their cars and on the bus? Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz asked that question while aboard a tricked out BC Transit bus parked at city hall Monday morning for a media event. “We have heard loud and clear that people want to see some changes to our transit system,” Gaetz said. The interactive bus is actually a mobile public consultation tool, visiting Chilliwack and the Eastern Fraser Valley this week to spark interest in the draft Transit Future with local,

regional, and inter-regional service improvement ideas. “Now we hope everyone jumps on this opportunity to be heard,” said Gaetz. Two new routing options for the Chilliwack Transit System were mapped out on the bus, and people voted for their favourite with colourful dots, or on sticky notes when the bus was parked at the mall on the weekend. “We set a goal to double ridership over the next 25 years, and that has set off work on this comprehensive transit plan,” explained BC Transit vice-

president Mike Davis. Planning for Chilliwack focuses on faster service and a simpler route that goes to the new Walmart, but will also include regional connections to and from Agassiz, Harrison, Hope and the Central Fraser Valley. Residents can shape the Future Transit plan by offering comments on paper, from the handy iPads provided on the bus, or from home by going to www.bctransit.com and clicking on ‘Transit Future.’ – Chilliwack Progress

and the NDP is in a solid Opposition. Strahl said the shift in Liberal voters thinking may be because they lost their identity, and Ignatieff "didn't catch on with Canadians." "But I think the problems with the party go beyond the leader," he said. "We've been there before, with the Conservative movement. They are going to have to rebuild." Previous Liberal Canadians turned to other parties to place their votes because they were looking for parties with "defined principles," he said. "They know where the Conservatives stand, and where the NDP stands. The Liberals had been all over the map." But the Tories still weren't expecting such a solid

majority, Strahl said. "If anyone was predicting at all, it was going to be one or two seats," he said. The Conservatives now hold 12 more seats than needed to hold a majority government. "I think Canadians took a sober second look at the NDP and a lot of people who were maybe flirting with the NDP swung over to us," he said. It will be a few weeks before Strahl is sworn into office, after Elections Canada finalizes numbers across the country. "Right now we're just getting cleaned up here and awaiting the next step," he said. "There's not a whole lot to do until I get sworn in, but I can't wait to get started." news@ahobserver.com

win of Round 1 in the playoffs this week. To be fair, no one is more passionate about sports than Mann. As far as he’s concerned, youth athletics and the surrounding community are where it’s at. The president and CEO of B.C. Games has guided the province’s Summer and Winter Games to great heights through a passion for sports. Mann was in Vernon last week to help the host city launch the official countdown for the 2012 B.C. Winter Games, set for Feb. 23-26. In tandem with the launch, Mann announced a four-year partnership between the Games and Black Press, parent company of the Victoria News. “While we sponsor literally thousands of

events each year, The Games, both winter and summer, are on a scale that is one of the largest opportunities to engage our readers across B.C.,� said Candy Hodson, senior vice-president of national sales and marketing for Black Press. “In covering the B.C. Games it allows Black Press to also showcase our best: we bring together ‘local’ on a provincial scale,� she said. Mann agreed the shared focus on athletic promotion in the community between the B.C. Games and Black Press is a perfect fit. “Black Press papers and the Winter and Summer Games are in virtually every community in B.C. “Black Press will provide extensive coverage and advertising to support the B.C. Games

and share the story of how the Games impact athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers and communities.� The partnership will coincide with three games: the 2012 Summer Games in Surrey and the 2014 Winter and Summer Games in Mission and Nanaimo, respectively. From his downtown Victoria office, Mann overlooks the antique section of Fort Street. It’s just a few blocks down the road from Oak Bay High, where he graduated in 1976. It was there that Mann became deeply connected to the values of youth sports, playing and managing school teams. He’s been with B.C. Games since 1992 but also co-founded the Kidsport Greater Victo-

ria chapter in 2002, one of the most successful in the country. When president Randy Blair of Black Press’ Lower Mainland division proposed the newspaper chain become one of three corporate sponsors, Mann knew the opportunity at hand. “We want people to understand the competitive support system in athletic development in B.C.,� Mann said. “You don’t hear of Ryder Hesjedal as a B.C. Games athlete, you hear of him as a Tour de France competitor. We talk about athletes like they fell out of a tree but really they’ve had a support network since they were eight. This (partnership) will add greater depth to the role of athletes and the support network of the development stage.�

Harrison’s 2011-2010 financial plan bylaw and the tax rate bylaw will be on Monday’s agenda for adoption. A special meeting was held on April 28 for public consultation into the budget process. A full copy of the two bylaws are available currently on the Village website (www.harrisonhotsprings.ca). Mayor Ken Becotte said that

the tax rate has stayed the same, with no increases. However, those people who have seen an increase or decrease in their property assessment value will notice a change. The provincial government’s small community grants went up significantly he said. That money goes toward their general funds. Other highlights of the budget include the paying off of longtime debentures. One is for a land purchase with an outstanding

balance of about $185,000 and the other is for a water project that has an outstanding balance of $161,099. Both items are being paid off in full this year, rather than carried for the next 10 years. That will save hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest over the next few years, Becotte told the Observer. “We’re saving as much as what we’re paying out,� he said. news@ahobserver.com

Long Island cabins damaged by thieves Be on the lookout for suspicious activities around Harrison Lake cabins. Vigilant cabin owners recently helped nabbed a handful of suspects who allegedly broke into a number of remote cabins in the area last fall. Members of the public were quick to identify three men who were videotaped breaking into a cabin, when the video was posted on Youtube. But RCMP say that several more break-ins have now occurred at cabins, this time in the Long Island area of the lake, about 20 miles up. The area is only accessible by boat, about a 30-40

minute trip from the Harrison launch. They say the break-ins have caused significant damage and that a number of items were stolen from several cabins. “Due to its remoteness, it’s difficult for police to be in the area all the time,” said Const. Tracy Wolbeck. “We are asking boaters on Harrison Lake to be vigilant and advise police should they notice anything unusual in the area.” If you have any information regarding this crime or others, contact the Agassiz RCMP at 604 796-2211or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS). news@ahobserver.com

Opinion Democracy at work Numbers are funny little things. They can be used to someone's advantage, or another's disadvantage. When used as statistics they can be skewed, manipulated, and even ignored. But most of all, they tell a story. And today, the numbers speak loud and clear about the past, present and future of Canadian politics. People are talking about low voter turnout, the lowest in Canadian history. But so what? Those who bothered to find a polling station collectively sent a message to Ottawa, and it was clearly one that called for change. Change to Harper's minority government, which ruled our country for seven long, and politically turbulent, years. Change for the once much-beloved Liberal Party, which manifested in a crash and burn exit for Michael Ignatieff, who bowed out of leadership on Tuesday morning. Change then, too, for the official Opposition — which could only be described as an apparent new trust in Jack Layton. His 'Orange Crush' swept the nation Monday night, surprising even the most prepared pollsters. And finally, change even within the

fringe, with Green Party leader Elizabeth May winning her seat and earning a seat in Parliament. Canadians spoke up and said that the Green Party matters, while the Bloc does not. It's a promising time for Canada, and a promising time for democracy. Maybe less than 60 per cent of Canadians voted in this election. In this riding, the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon, the number was 58.8 per cent, not counting those who registered on Monday. It's a small percentage of eligible voters, but not insignificant. It means 49,189 people got off their couches, took the time off work, or planned ahead and voted in advance. It means almost 50,000 people from here to Lillooet cared enough about Canada to make themselves heard. Whether you like the outcome or not, it's a beautiful thing. It's democracy, and it works. Perhaps, with the changes that have been seen this week, more of us will take the time be heard in four years. Four — either a big number, or a small one, depending on who you'd like to have seen leading us.

Town halls: Twitter for normal people

B.C. VIEWS

Tom Fletcher These days the media never shut up about Facebook and Twitter and “viral videos.” In this year’s political madhouse, no candidate can be caught without a social media presence. So it surprises me that the breakout technology for public engagement turns out to be huge conference calls on the old landline telephone. “Tele-town halls” were first deployed here by B.C. Liberal leadership candidate George Abbott. He got such big participation that Kevin Falcon’s deep-pocketed campaign quickly followed suit. Premier Christy Clark is doing one Wednesday evening for her Vancouver byelection run. Falcon, the reluctant finance

minister, is using the same method to ask for options on the harmonized sales tax. In between hockey games over the next week, folks having dinner will be getting calls with a recorded message inviting them to tell him what he should do with the HST. Falcon admitted to some trepidation before extending such an offer to the general public. What he got at his first one in Surrey was 27,000 people who stayed on the line for an average of 16 minutes, hundreds who queued up to ask questions, and 90 minutes of surprisingly civil discussion with real people. I listened in to the first one hosted by Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom, where 5,900 residents of the Peace River region stuck around for an average 21 minutes to hear why he quit the B.C. Liberals over the HST, and then went back. That region and East Kootenay will be the toughest sell for the B.C. government’s mail-

tax, which falls harder on people who put up with cold weather and long driving distances. Another said cross-border shopping to Alberta has become even more popular. It was refreshing to hear real people describe their situations

and concerns. Most had apparently spent little time poring over media accounts of the HST, but unlike the stale and spin-heavy debate that resumed in the B.C. legislature last week, they were direct, polite and willing to listen. Falcon reported a similar experience after 90 minutes of questions in Surrey. Suggestions included dropping the HST by a point (estimated cost $850 million) and offering more exemptions, on things like gym memberships or bike helmets. Hundreds of people didn’t get to ask their questions, partly because the politicians took up too much time with introductions and smooth talk like “that’s a great question!” The patient callers were asked to leave messages for followup. I live-blogged the event on Twitter, including a brief debate with former NDP MLA David Schreck about the fairness of these town halls. Schreck said there

should be equal time for a critic of the HST, otherwise it’s just government propaganda. Judging by the NDP’s latest line of questioning, town hall participants aren’t missing much. Their big point in the legislature was that if the HST is rejected, low-income people would still get the GST credit. Yes, and the sun will continue to rise, but poor people will still lose a significant redistribution of income. You’ll hear a lot about the HST in the next few weeks, with government and business advertising the merits of keeping it, and Bill Vander Zalm’s FightHST organization spending $250,000 of public money to continue its campaign of fear and ignorance.

Agassiz-Harrison Observer 7

Mailbag Watershed too precious to put at risk Many reports have been presented to governments regarding the hazards of mining and clear cutting of the Deroche Mountain at Harrison Mills and each time the report is ignored and a new report is done to mitigate the results of those past documents. The most recent document done in 2011 of plans applying specifically to the client for the proposed gravel pit extension at Lake Errock was to evaluate the hazard of Halochten creek channel entering the pit. Physiographically, Halochten creek watershed has three distinct portions consisting of relatively steep mountain slopes. Evidence of a large flood twenty years ago depositing sediment and of snow avalanche paths which are evident in the headwaters of Halochten creek. Records in air photos and which was also reported in the official community plan identify the potential for significant hazards from landslides and debris flow. There is risk to the residents drinking watershed, as well as the salmon spawning creeks and I hope that this will be the final report that will end the potential of destroying this environmentally sensitive area. Generalizing expected fluvial peak flows to debris flow depths is difficult and that total debris flow discharges can be ten to one hundred times the expected peak flow for water floods in BC mountain rivers. That a debris

flow might exceed the capacity of a structure designed for fluvial floods by one or two orders of magnitude. The report can not assure with certainty of it never happening and states, "might be possible to cause channel avulsion resulting in creek diversion." The inspector states his report is "inherently imprecise," and "geological conditions other than those indicated may

I ask you, why put the mine where monitoring should be relied upon? Remember the Walkerton tragedy. exist on the site." The recent DFO report cannot conclude that there will not be adverse effects to fish or fish habitat resulting from the proposed works stating, "there is little mention of the wind firmness or inter-grits of the riparian area." DFO recommends monitoring of the creeks and analysis of site infiltrating to protect fish habitat. In the final sentence DFO states, "a restrictive covenant may be

considered to protect these area in perpetuity if no other protective mechanisms can be put in place." Our watershed is too precious a commodity to put at risk. Our wild salmon need protecting from potential hazards. Diverting creeks and the potential of pollution is a real threat. Mining is unacceptable in a residential area adjacent to a trout lake, in a tourism area, next to rail tracks, school zones and the highway, and where clean clear water flows down Deroche mountain. It is a fool hardy place for a mine. There are at least five reports in government files stating that no mining or clear cutting of trees should be allowed on the Deroche mountain due to rock slides and silting the waterways. How many reports, recommendations, petitions and surveys need to be done before being acknowledged? I ask you why put the mine where monitoring should be relied upon? Remember the Walkerton Water Tragedy. Monitoring was necessary there too, yet people died, some are still sick and the officials were charged with criminal negligence. Please write to MLA's, FVRD directors and Premier and help the residents of Lake Errock to stop the mine. Sylvia Langmann Lake Errock

Country Marketplace 2011 law enforcement, can grab a prepackaged breakfast special of coffee, a bagel and fruit to go.

Cool beans! Early hours at Oasis There’s a new place to get an early morning breakfast. Only, it’s not exactly new. The Oasis Coffee & Bistro is now ready to serve you at 5 a.m. weekdays, thanks to some hard work by new owners Reese Ollmann and Jason Scott. “We went to townhall to petition to have that changed,” Ollmann says. Now, they can easily serve the many people who head off to work early in the morning — fellow business owners, Corrections personnel and forestry workers, for example. “Those people will now have somewhere local to go to have a fresh breakfast and coffee,” she says. To top that off, they’ve even started a ‘jailbreak special.’ Anyone wearing a law enforcement uniform, or with ID indicating they work in

“We’re really trying to focus on them,” Ollmann says. “They keep us safe, they keep the community going.” Ollmann and Scott each have a solid history of customer service behind them, she with 22 years and he with 25 years. And rule number one would be not to change what’s working. So, they’ve kept the entire menu from previous owners Kerry and Claudette Krahn. “We’re not changing the menu,” she assures. “And we have all the exact same recipes, right down to Kerry’s famous BBQ sauce.” But they have shaken up a few things, as all new owners tend to do. They’ve hired fresh new staff. There’s Sarah, a well-established barista from a very well known coffee shop, and Dianne, who was behind the startup

of the popular Cookie’s Grill in Chilliwack. “I love our staff,” Ollmann says. “We’re very lucky to have them.” They’ve also dedicated wall space to art created by Agassiz elementary and high school students. “I think it’s important to get the community involved, and to get involved in the community,” she says. To that end, they’ve already decided to help sponsor a baseball team, to provide a cross-promotion with the Tulip Festival, and even to honour mother’s this coming weekend. On Mother’s Day, all moms who order the breakfast special of french toast, bacon and fruit, will receive a free coffee, and a carnation. Oasis is now open from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday, Saturday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. - Observer Staff This is a paid advertisement.

Carter is a strong voice for seniors Ombudsman: meaning “representative” from Old Norse language Seniors have a strong advocate in Kim Carter, appointed Ombudsperson for B.C. to be the “Independent Voice for Fairness”. Speaking last month at the Elder College in Chilliwack, Ms. Carter explained that the role of the Ombudsperson is “to ensure that every person in B.C. is treated fairly in the provision of public services.” These are offered by Pharmacare, Medical Services Plan, Ministry of Health (hospitals, care facilities, health regions) ICBC and the Public Guardian or Trustee. Her office began outreach tours in 2008 in

response to increasing public concern around seniors’ issues. Ms. Carter launched an investigation into access to information and services, quality of care, standards of care, monitoring and enforcement and complaints processes. The huge response prompted a review of rules and regulations, many meetings and consultations with providers and policy makers, visits to facilities and interviews with families. The findings and recommendations were published in a public report to the Legislative Assembly in December 2009 entitled “The Best of Care: Getting It Right for Seniors in British Columbia (Part 1)”.

A positive outcome from the Ombudsperson’s report is that the “Bill of Rights for Seniors in Residential Care” is now displayed prominently in care facilities in B.C. Facilities were encouraged to establish Resident and Family Councils to give residents a stronger voice in decisions about their own care. Ms. Carter expressed disappointment that the government had not built in a system to monitor, evaluate and report annually on compliance with the Bill of Rights nor has it required that Family and Residents’ Councils would receive staff support and follow-up. Ms. Carter also made a strong recommendation that the Ministry

BETTY RAJOTTE

Plus Side of 60 of Health and the Ministry of Healthy Living and Sport (the two that are responsible for seniors) “develop a single provincial website for

the reporting of useful information about residential care facilities. The information should be updated regularly and organized in a way that makes it easy for seniors, their families and other members of the public to search for and compare facilities.” To date, the website www.SeniorsBC. ca contains much information and the B.C. Seniors Guide (available on the website or from health units) summarize services for

seniors. Part 2 of “The Best of Care” is due later this year and will cover all home and community care services, including home support and home care, assisted living and residential care. The Ombudsperson’s report is just the beginning. When guidelines and policies are in place and enforced, the public has a baseline for comparison about the treatments received. Recommendations

must translate into actions. Concerned citizens must support discussion on seniors’ issues through community organizations, retiree groups and public dialogue.

Spring has sprung in Harrison Village Reflecting on politics, the Monday Painters and Harrison Hikers It was a great Easter weekend In our area. Saturday especially was beautiful, sunny and warm. There was a market at the Memorial Hall. The beach was packed and the vendors were delighted. I was sitting on the balcony for the first time this year and started to think about all the different things coming up soon, and I realized that a task we all share was imminent: Monday, May 2, will be election day and it is our duty to elect a new leader or re-elect the one we have. In fact, when you read this article it will have been done and may the best man or woman have won. But, sitting there in the warm sun, in a peaceful place in a peaceful country, I did not really feel the need for change. I was quite happy with the status quo. Didn’t our present

RUTH ALTENDORF

Harrison Happenings government keep our ship above water in a sea of world-wide turmoil? And was it right for the various opposition leaders to keep trying to destabalize our country by on-going elections and election treats at such times? But then, some other happier thoughts came to my mind, such as the Tulip Festival, for instance. I had just heard on the news that this has been the coldest April in 35 years and that the tulips were late. How-

ever, they are here now and this Sunday I will try to see them. Also, the month of May will be a delight for all people who love art. On Saturday, April 30, at the United Church, the Agassiz Monday Painters celebrated their 50th anniversary with a beautiful showcase of their talents and a special tribute to the late Isa Taylor, one of the founding members of the group. Let’s hope you had the opportunity to view this exhibit. If not, the Harrison Art Show will take place on the May 21-22 long weekend at the Harrison Hot Springs Memorial Hall and all month we can view the artist-inresidence Rhonda Simmonds’ fascinating installation SoleMates at the Ranger Station Art Gallery. Don’t miss the artist’s reception which

will be this Saturday, May 7 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The HHS Multicultural Choir, after a well deserved rest, will start practicing again on May 9, at the usual time: 7 p.m. at the Kent School. All our other practices will be held in the HHS Memorial Hall. The Choir will prepare for a light-hearted fundraiser on June 11, featuring the Best of the HHS Multicultural Choir. This would be a good time to join our Choir. Also, the month of May is traditionally the time when the Harrison Hikers are getting restless. If you feel like this too, give them a call. There are five different teams at present. For serious hiking call either Sam Nelson at 604-796-9687 or Ken Burningham at 604491-5540. Both teams are doing hikes up

T ECHOES FROM THE PAST

to about 20 km. each time. For hikes in the Cultus Lake area only, call Margaret Pillon at 604-858-9093. The hikes this team is doing are on a more moderate level. For lighthearted hikes, however, either Renate Schwanke at 604-7969146 or Trudy Hackel at 604-796-9556 are

the ladies to call. I will try to let you know all their monthly programs but they often have to be changed due to weather conditions. For this and other reasons it is always good to touch base with your leader ahead of time, especially if you are a new member of the group.

Film deals with women’s cancers 50 Years Ago, 1961 • Two hundred women attended the film showing of Time and Two Women dealing with the necessity of the early diagnosis of cancer. Held in the high school auditorium and sponsored by the Leah Rebekah Lodge under leadership of Noble Grand Mary Gibson, the film sparked much discussion. Dr. H. Booth was in attendance to answer questions. • Port Douglas, which had been covered by the Pemberton RCMP for the previous several months, reverted to the Agassiz detachment. The same day, a report of a vehicle stolen from Trethewey Logging came in. An adult male and a juvenile were arrested. Magistrate A. M Naismith sentenced the adult to a

year in jail and suspended final disposition in the juvenile’s case. Justice was swift in those days. • In other police news, a 16-year-old juvenile was fined $25 for being caught coming out of the Harrison Hot Springs beer parlour with a case of beer. Other penalties levied to other law breakers included $25 for careless driving, a $10 fine for not stopping at an intersection, $15 for driving without a license, $15 for driving without insurance while a minor, and an unspecified fine for failing to pay the bridge toll. • Mrs. Irene Hardy and Mrs. A. McCombs reported whole-hearted support from the Village of Harrison Hot Springs during the recent cancer campaign. They thanked everyone for their donations.

Hello, from the Agassiz Rainbow 4-H Club again. On April 9 we held our demonstrations where we had three Senior demonstrators and one Junior demonstrator this year. I would personally just like to say everyone did a great job; there is a lot of hard work that goes into demonstrations, between making the posters, preparing all of your supplies, making a script and then to top it all off - having to do it all within seven to 10 minutes. Everyone did an amazing job. The placings went as such: in

third for Seniors was Paige Cote and her partner Alisha Baxter. In second place we had myself (Megan Skalicky) and Savannah Blank and in first, were Danni and Beverly Chard.

In the Juniors, we had a speak and show by Daniel Charleton, and I have to congratulate him for going up there by himself and presenting something. It’s really tough to go with a partner let alone by yourself, but he did a fantastic job and of course placed first. About a week later was the district demonstrations but we could only have one of our teams go this year, myself and Savannah Blank. We did very well and placed third. We have our next meeting on May 15 and hopefully I will have more exciting news for everyone then.

Sometimes while I am out riding, I remind myself to be thankful for the abilities I have. The bike tour gives us a chance to do something that is bigger than ourselves and give to a worthwhile cause. I ride because I can. Jane Sauer, Team Captain, The Spinsters

Elizabeth Mary Hollihan was born June 27th, 1910 in St. John’s, Newfoundland. She moved to Chilliwack in the 1950s. She passed away peacefully with family at her bedside, on Thursday April 28th, 2011 at 11:10 p.m. at the age of 100 years old. Elizabeth is survived by her grandchildren: Karen (Ian), Betty-Ann (Jim), Randy (Becky), and Ron. Her 10 great-grandchildren: Kim(Jake), Candice (Cam); Brad, Laurie (Tyler), Angela (Steve); Shawn, Jenn (Jeff); Cory (Amanda), Stacie; Jody & 17 great-great grandchildren, and extended family and friends.
