Darryl Peters explains to Graham Horn, Cloudworks executive vice president, how families of the Douglas Band near Port Douglas used to cart their perishable foods to the local waterfall, place them in baskets and keep them there during the summer months. The Douglas Band has always been off the power grid but will connect to BC Hydro on November 12. Cloudworks is currently building and operating several run of river projects in the north Harrison area, including one that diverts water from the waterfall running in the right of this photograph. The water behind the two men is the tailrace of the power project, where the natural water flow reconnects with the water that’s been harnessed for energy. PHOTOS BY JESSICA PETERS / OBSERVER

OBSERVER news A pipe at Tipella carries river water to the turbines, which are in and underneath the powerhouse. In the foreground is a pond that is part of a compensation project, as required by DFO.

Connecting to the grid CONTINUED â&#x20AC;&#x201C; FROM FRONT

Horn has only been to the Tipella site, which is just to the west of Port Douglas, about a half dozen times. He's excited to return; excited to be showing off this project to the media. "As you can tell I'm pretty passionate about this," he says. In short, this is how run of river works. A creek with a grade of at least 10 per cent is found. "The higher the grade, the better," Horn adds. The area is also scouted for things like accessibility, potential hazards such as mudslides, water supply and whether there are landholds or First Nations bands in the immediate area. Many times, there are First Nation bands to negotiate with. The

Douglas Band is just one example. Negotiating is an art, Peters says, where "you can't be friends and you can't be enemies in this kind of process." And while ideally none of B.C.'s land would be developed on, Peters says the Douglas band understands that development, and business, are essential. And the area of Port Douglas and Tipella Creek "used to be a booming place," says Peters. That's when logging was going like gangbusters, he says. But that activity has all but died down now. Logging did a lot of damage to the area, he says. And while there are certainly environmental concerns with any development, Peters says when you compare the damage done by a run of river project, to what has

been in the past with logging, he'd take the water projects. "We need to be thinking outside the box," he says, and that's a sentiment straight from his elders. Currently, their small reserve trucks in about half a million dollars of diesel annually, and burns that fuel in generators. The band connects to the B.C. Hydro grid on November 12, but that's not entirely thanks to the Cloudworks project at Tipella. The Douglas band, of which Peters is a former chief, has been in talks with B.C. Hydro to connect to the grid for Ă&#x20AC;ve years. The power lines have been overhead for 30 years. The substation is now nearly ready. B.C. Hydro power meters are on the sides of all the houses.

Special Thanks

to all Volunteer Celebration Committee members who helped make this event happen.

Investigators are seeking fresh information to crack the case of the serial killer who murdered three Vancouver women 15 years ago and dumped their bodies in the Mission-Agassiz area. The remains of Tracy Olajide, Tammy Pipe and Victoria Younker – all from the Downtown Eastside – were found in a three-month span from August to October 1995 in separate remote wooded areas of the Fraser Valley. The three killings were Àrst thought the work of the same predator who ultimately turned out to be Robert Pickton, now behind bars for six murders and who claimed responsibility for killing 49 missing women. RCMP investigators now say one unknown man, likely with a 4x4 and knowledge of the back roads of the area, is responsible and they believe witnesses exist with information that could help unmask him. He must have had intimate knowledge of the crime scene areas and been comfortable in remote surroundings, possibly living or working in the area. Police say he may have hunted, Àshed or camped in the area, or worked there in logging or forestry operations or in corrections. "It's quite possible he killed them elsewhere and then dropped them there," said RCMP Cpl. Don Nicholson, of Project E-Valley, the team of 10 senior RCMP and Vancouver Police ofÀcers tackling the case. "We're hoping something might twig someone's mind and they might say 'We knew so-and-so at that time, he was involved in logging in that area' or 'he was an avid hiker in that area.'" Red vehicle paint chips and oil recovered from the sites may be linked to a 4x4 police think would have been needed to access the sites, and may have been scratched or damaged underneath. Yellow rubber Áecks were also recovered from the bodies and may have come from rain gear

or some type of material used to wrap them. Olajide, a 30-year-old mother of one, was found Aug. 10, 1995 on a trail near the Morris Valley logging road 15 kilometres north of the Lougheed Highway near Agassiz. The crack cocaine user had mostly stopped work in the sex trade and had last been seen near the Waldorf Hotel two days earlier. No attempt was made to conceal the body of Pipe, 24, found Sept. 2 in the middle of a side road 10 kilometres north of the Lougheed Highway, en route to the Woodside hang glider launch area. The sex trade worker and cocaine user known to give money and clothing to the poor had last been seen four days earlier at the Cobalt Hotel. Younker's partly decomposed body was found Oct. 21 36 kilometres north of Lougheed Highway on Sylvester Road near Mission, at the bottom of a 25foot embankment on a dead-end logging spur road. The 35-year-old's identiÀcation was later found in a dumpster near Vancouver's Vernon Rooms Hotel. She was last seen Sept. 11 of that year and police believe she was killed within 10 days. Investigators in the late 1990s thought a single killer was responsible for all women going missing and for a time discounted Pickton as a suspect because his DNA didn't match samples found on the three bodies dumped in the Valley, the only physical evidence that had surfaced to that point. The VPD's recently released Missing Women Investigation Review said excluding Pickton because he didn't kill Pipe, Olajide or Younker was a critical mistake. "It was an error to assume that only one serial killer could have operated in a geographical area as large as the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, over the span of time involved." Anyone with information can call the Project E-Valley tip line at 1-877-687-3377.

AGASSIZ-HARRISON OBSERVER – Thursday, November 4, 2010

OBSERVER opinion Cash back or re-investment? More than a few eyebrows went up last week with the news that British Columbians will see their provincial income tax bills trimmed by 15 per cent to make up for the HST. Whether you think Premier Gordon Campbell is buying votes or simply making good on his promise to deal with the discontent over the so-called Hated Sales Tax, it hardly matters. The real question is can the B.C. government afford the tax break or will we pay in other ways? After a diet of bad budget news and less than stellar economic predictions, it seems now isn't the best time for a tax break. Health care is struggling, the education system is strained and money is scarce for important transit improvements. Can these important government institutions be sustained when the treasury will bleed by $568 million next year? It's true that an extra $30 to $50 a month might help on the spending end for individuals whose household budgets are continuously being hit by higher costs. And the province says it can afford to give some cash back because corporate balance sheets are recovering, resulting in $2.1 billion in additional government revenue over program spending over the next three years. But even if government coffers do Àll up, is a quick refund for angry taxpayers the way to go? Perhaps enhanced investments in education, healthy care and transit might do more good. In education, for example, school districts are continuing to struggle to meet class size and composition regulations under Bill 33. There are doubts the basic education needs of students are being met at the same time as the province is rolling out full-day kindergarten, Strong Start programs and other initiatives that will require signiÀcant ongoing investments. Hospitals still struggle with waiting lists for elective surgery and have to fundraise constantly to keep up to date with technology. Cash back or re-investment? That's a question that deserves more discussion. – The Tri-City News (Black Press)

B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – Like knights in a medieval re-enactment, B.C.’s political combatants strapped on their armour to take the ritual sword-swipes over Premier Gordon Campbell’s latest income tax cut. Public sector unions were quickest to rattle their chain mail. The teachers and nurses were outraged that $600 million wouldn’t be extracted from the paycheques of working people each year and added to the already swelling health and education budgets. CUPE president Barry O’Neill weighed in: “It’s almost comical to see Mr. Campbell descending to the point of trying to entice voters to support the HST with their own tax dollars.” Almost comical? This self-serving routine by the public sector elites with their deÀned-beneÀt pensions is downright hilarious. Private sector jobs ultimately support the entire apparatus of government, a fact that still seems to elude these ancient gladiators of the left. Campbell wasn’t much more convincing when I interviewed him the day after his $240,000 TV infomercial to unveil the 15-per-cent reduction of personal income tax, effective New Year’s Day. “The really important thing here is this is separate from the HST discussion,” Campbell said. “This is about leaving more money in people’s pockets.” Right. And the HST is about removing more money from people’s pockets. I had assumed that since the Àrst third of Campbell’s TV address was devoted to his now-familiar defence of the HST, as a lead-up to the income tax announcement, there was some connection between the two. But apparently I was wrong. The timing of the second-biggest

income tax cut in B.C. history has nothing to do with public outrage over the HST, or Campbell’s dismal popularity. It’s just the latest step in the master plan that began the day Campbell took ofÀce and slashed the personal income tax rate by 25 per cent. Regular readers will recall I predicted Campbell would use the TV address to announce a cut in the HST rate, as soon as the contract with Ottawa allows him to do it in July 2012. But reducing the HST rate to 11 per cent would likely have cost the government more revenue. The income tax cut also has the beneÀt of showing up before people vote in the HST referendum next fall. I suggested to Campbell that the average person would look at a sales tax that shifts about $2 billion annually from business to consumers, and an income tax cut that puts $600 million back in their pockets, and conclude that they are worse off. He replied that “the arithmetic doesn’t work like that.” From an individual taxpayer’s point of view, the premier is correct. But the combined effect of the HST and this income tax cut is middle class and wealthy individuals as a group paying more, and businesses paying less. Which brings us to another rusty old argument from the left: The income tax cut helps wealthier people more than poor ones. Yes it does. If you make $40,000 in 2011, you will save $236. If you make $80,000, you will save $616. You’ll probably spend those savings and more on consumption taxes, depending on how much you spend beyond necessities. I’ve been berated by readers for defending the idea that consumption taxes are better than income taxes. This would seem particularly true for B.C., where baby boomers will retire in droves in the coming years. We want people with money to move here and spend here. I assume that’s part of Campbell’s strategy, but maybe it’s too politically incorrect to say it out loud.

Government serious about receiving constructive community input? • Will the FVRD take this 99 per cent plus condemnation of the APP by the people, as proof positive that the APP needs to be reworked properly with the correct participants this time? • Will the FVRD directors (including Patricia Ross) denounce the APP in its current format as the constituents of the FVRD demand? • Will the directors of the FVRD ignore the wishes of the people, and just rubber stamp the APP? • Was this public input phase just an exercise in futility, solely aimed at fulÀlling the requirements of law? • Will the FVRD continue to only enforce bylaws they feel are easy targets, and ignore the real infractions that actually harm people? These are dangerous and serious questions that need to be answered honestly and with integrity, as the

very foundations of democracy are at stake. David Lamson actually mentioned the word democracy at least four times whilst talking at the Chilliwack meeting, and what you have seen at the three meetings to date, is overwhelming democracy opposing something that is clearly, and morally wrong. Anyone with an open mind can clearly see that the current APP is aimed speciÀcally at undermining the people, and giving a huge advantage to the aggregate industry. I fear we are at a crossroads for the future of our valley and what it will become in future years. Will it be prudent sensible growth with sufÀcient farm land intact, or will it become an industrial wasteland of constant conÁict, anger, and hostility? The people who spoke out clearly understand that aggregate is a very important resource that is obviously required; all that has to be determined is what are the most

Dear Editor, A review of the APP public hearing phase to date — October 26, 2010. On the eve of the Ànal public information input meeting in Hope B.C., I thought it a prudent idea to review the meetings that have taken place to date, in light of the fact that very few of the FVRD staff and directors have actually participated in more than one or two meetings. It is self evident that of the hundred plus speakers who participated in the proceedings so far, only one spoke in favour of the APP in its current format, that being a member of the aggregate industry who was one of the participants in its formulation. Of the other 99 plus percentage who spoke, it is obvious by their vehement opposition that they reject this current version of the APP, with its obvious loop holes and Áaws. The question now becomes where do we go from here? Below I list the questions that HAVE to be answered. • Were the FVRD and Provincial

environmentally beneÀcial ways of extracting it. I personally asked a gravel producer what constitutes “Primo Gravel” and without missing a beat, he answered “is it right next to a major highway?” There in a nutshell you have the crux of the problem, in the original Aggregate Producers’ Document, it clearly states that to maximize proÀts, gravel pits should be located as close as possible to existing highways, it goes on to state that dust mitigation, and health issues should be downplayed (as portrayed by Minister Hawes) whilst environmental issues should be as much as possible ignored. However the people do not see things this way, we tend to put the health and welfare of our children and families before the maximum proÀts of the aggregate industry, which also includes the streams, creeks, rivers, ponds, and lakes where we live and play. Now ladies and gentlemen, the ball is in your court, do you do

what you know is the right thing, even though it goes against a power hungry provincial government, or do you ignore the 99 per cent of the people who have urged you to take the APP back to the drawing board, include all interest groups that should have been included from the outset, and do some real good for our valley? Democracy as we know it and for the next 100 years is on the line. I urge you with all my heart to do the right thing and go down in posterity as directors who followed the truth of their convictions and voted with integrity on behalf of the people who elected you, and overwhelmingly demanded that you reject this Áawed document in its current state.

The Harrison Memorial Hall renovations are moving along quickly. But in the meantime, the show must go on. So, the Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa has offered itself up as an alternative venue for Harrison Festival Society shows through the winter months. Lorne Elliott had the audience in stitches there recently, and the next offering by the society is Winter Harp. The group, shown above, was a BC Touring Artist of the Year nominee in 2008. Standing ovations, sold out concerts and rave reviews are the hallmarks of Winter Harp, an ensemble of harps, medieval instruments, Áute, percussion, poetry and song.

They are considered a world-class ensemble, offering a concert of heartwarming carols, songs and stories in celebration of the Christmas and winter season. The musicians, in gorgeous medieval attire, perform a hauntingly-beautiful collection of music from well-known carols to Celtic, medieval and world music. A breathtakingly beautiful cathedral backdrop sets the stage for the golden Celtic and classical harps, drums, tambourines, temple bells, and the intricatelycarved 12th century replica instruments. Poetry, music, laughter and tears combine in this magical journey which takes listeners deep into the heart of winter, deep into

FOR THE OBSERVER

It was an evening to be remembered: The Àrst annual Agassiz Harrison Volunteer Recognition event, and what a success it was! The Agricultural Hall was not only Àlled with the “Spirit of BC,” but also with over 350 kindred spirits: volunteers! The music by Marilee Jones was light and elegant, the speeches eloquent and the refreshments delicious. The prayer song by Chehalis Chief Willie Charlie added a special touch to the celebration. And so, I would like to say a very special thank-you to all the members of the Volunter Celebration Committee and sponsors who made this event happen. Throughout the evening, there was a lot of of reminiscing. I sat at a table with members of “Renate and Friends” and their story kept coming back to my mind. It happened about Àve years ago and though it was not the proudest moment of my volunteer career, it had long term consequences. I must have been tired, but that’s no excuse. I was scheduled to play piano with Beccie, my teacher, at the Logan Manor. I was also invited for a cup of coffee at a friend’s house and I totally forgot about the piano appointment until I got a call from Logan Manor: The

audience was seated and waiting for us! Luckily, Renate Schwanke was there and came to the rescue by starting a sing along with the residents instead. And guess what? She still does it, twice per month, Àve years later! Her group has been named, “Renate and Friends” by the residents who, by now, most likely know all the popular songs we sing! While Renate is almost always there, her friends drop in as they can. What a story! Volunteering is very fulÀlling. We give and take at the same time and often, as Mayor Ken Becotte pointed out, forget that we are volunteering. But, in spite of this, volunteers are a very precious resource that should not be taken for granted and an evening like this will go a long way to make sure the spirit will continue. And that reminds me that I should take this opportunity to thank Carol Hepnar for typing all my handwrittten articles and e-mailing them to The Observer. And it also just came to my mind that there would have been even more volunteers last night if some would not have had to follow the call of duty. Like some Lions for instance, who, just up the road attended the their Bingo Night, as they do each week, to raise money for worthwhile causes. And I am sure there are many others.

Doug Sabourin, the executive director of Deltassist, provided a rousing speech to a packed room at the Volunteer Recognition Event, at the Agassiz Agricultural Hall last Thursday.

There were some really nice sayings about volunteers in the program and here is one of them: “The heart of a volunteer is not measured in size, but the depth of the commitment to make a difference in the lives of others.”

At the end of another very successful season of hiking with students from SD#78 the Fraser-Cascade Mountain School would like to thank the 120 parents who made it all possible by accompanying us on excursions into the mountains. A total of 450 students from grades 7 to 12 spent a day hiking with us this September and October. The Mountain School program depends on parental support and we’re very grateful for that assistance. If you are a parent of one of our students and haven’t had an opportunity to accompany us for a day trip into the backcountry, think about joining us during our snowshoe season in April of 2011.

Not all Christmas craft markets are created equal. Some are created just a little more closeto-the-heart. Such is the case with the Lions Christmas Craft and Gift Show,

being held December 4 at the Agassiz Agricultural Hall. It's a seven-year long tradition in this area, and for good reason. Almost all of the tables are Àlled with homemade and handmade items. From

freshly-made food products to handwoven clothes and hand carved toys, it would be hard to leave the show empty handed. And how much handmade product is out there, ready to be sold? Organizer Joey Ellis

How to handle caregiver crisis Betty Rajotte FOR THE OBSERVER

â&#x20AC;&#x153;What do you do when your outspoken, passionate and quick-witted mother starts fading into a forgetful, fearful woman?â&#x20AC;? In her memoir, Tangles: A Story About Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, My Mother and Me, Sarah Leavitt describes her attempts to deal with her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease. Speaking to Shelagh Rogers on the CBC program The Next Chapter, she commented on the isolation experienced by families whose loved ones are suffering from mental distress. Ms. Leavitt feels that people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to expect and may be afraid or embarrassed by unusual responses or behaviours. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know

what to say or do, so they make themselves scarce. As a society we are challenged to offer support to our neighbours. Family members are making an enormous contribution in caring for elderly and inĂ&#x20AC;rm relatives in their homes. Annual savings to the health care system are estimated by Statistics Canada (2002) to be $25 billion. But surveys warn of caregiver burnout and high stress levels resulting from this burden. How do we help the wife whose husband has become demanding and difĂ&#x20AC;cult, making it impossible for her to leave him for even a few hours? How do we support the husband whose wife stays awake all night or mistakes him for a

threatening stranger? How do we help the daughter keep her patience and sense of humour when she hears the same stories over and over again? Sometimes just having people who know what they are going through, who will listen with patience and understanding, can ease the stress. A friend or neighbor keeping in contact, even dropping in and sitting for a visit can make a huge difference. Donating to advocacy groups that work for education and more adequate services will raise awareness. Learning about available programs and health services is essential. Last Thursday, our community celebrated the Volunteer Spirit. Chief Willie Charlie spoke of growing up

in Agassiz. The community kept a watch on the children and teenagers. The sense of belonging and responsibility to live up to expectations had a huge inĂ uence on him. The two mayors and the guest speaker, Doug Sabourin, stressed the same theme of how communities are strengthened by how they care for all their members, especially those undergoing challenges. Everyone needs to be valued and included. Learn how you can be a resource to your neighbour. Want to learn more?
