District of Kent gardener Scott Hurst looks at one of three damaged trees at Vimy Park in Agassiz. The trees were just planted as part of a much-needed revitalization project at the park, paid for in part by Veterans Affairs. The trees will be replaced in time for Remembrance Day, Hurst says.

OBSERVER news Sewer rates could be amended for hardship claims T. Marlowe has been paying sewer rates for 25 uninhabitable units Jessica Peters THE OBSERVER

When Àre broke out at the T. Marlowe last February, both the Áames and the water to douse them destroyed almost half the building's apartment units. And in the months that followed, owner Marlowe Harvey was dealt blow after blow. First, he was unaware he didn't have the proper insurance to fully cover a Àre. Then, he was told the 36-year-old building would need massive renovations in the affected areas, to qualify for proper insurance following the Àre. As a result of the insurance troubles, his mortgage was called into question. It was a cascading problem, Harvey says, that mostly could have been avoided if he had

been more in the know. "The bottom line here is, and I tell everyone this now, make sure your property is insured for the right value," he says. "I thought I was, but I was dead wrong." Twenty-Àve units were destroyed in total, both by the Àre and from the water from Àre suppression efforts. That's 25 units that were, and still are, completely uninhabitable, and needed to be rebuilt almost from the ground up. But due to an oversight at the District, Harvey was still being charged for sanitary and storm sewer rates. "I fell between the cracks," Harvey says. So two weeks ago, he addressed Kent councillors to see if they would help him out. So far, he's paid about $10,000 per year, at a

rate of $411 per unit. The fees are meant to cover the use of the storm and sewer system, a system those units aren't currently drawing on. "These units have no facilities, no toilets yet," Harvey says. He likens the issue to a builder who is constructing homes from the ground up. For new home building, sewer rates aren't applied until the home is inspected and ready for living. While the units at T. Marlowe are close to being ready, they're not quite there, he says. Due to the Ànancial troubles over the last year, it's been a slower process than Harvey would like. On top of the costs of rebuilding, he's not earning any income in those units. "I asked them to reconsider charging me

for the sewer I couldn't use," he says. Council heard his woes, and staff at the district has started working on a bylaw amendment that could help Harvey. The amendment received three readings at Monday's council

meeting, and should be up for adoption at an upcoming meeting. CAO Wallace Mah pointed out at the meeting that the amendment gives staff and council a chance to judge "each situation ... on its own merits." As for the T. Marlowe

units, Harvey says it won't be long before the units are ready for renting again. "The drywall is done now," he says, and the Ànishing time is now between four and six months. "It's now a better, safer building," he adds,

"completely brought up to existing code." If passed as it reads now, the bylaw will be amended to allow district staff to consider hardship claims in reducing sewer rates following physical damages to properties. news@ahobserver.com

and new groundwork. In years past, veterans visiting the park had to negotiate dirt and mud puddles, an especially difÀcult task during rainy Remembrance Day ceremonies. The push is now on to replace the trees by this year's Remembrance Day, Hurst said, but he's not sure what trees will be planted next. This is the worst case of vandalism Hurst has

ever seen, in Agassiz or at his previous job as a gardener for North Vancouver. "It's insulting to the people who went off to war, so that we could live in a non-violent era," he said. It's not the Àrst vandalism to hit Vimy Park recently. Since the revitalization, there have been plants pulled out and bark mulch spread all over the new brick pathways.

Power project open house promoted Jessica Peters THE OBSERVER

Media is being toured around remote areas of the Fraser Valley today, namely Harrison Hot Springs, Port Douglas and Stave Lake. Aboard the helicopter will be an executive from Cloudworks, Observer staff and other members of the media. The trip will include a visit to the Tipella Fish Compensation site,

powerhouse, substations and Àre project intake. Media will also be meeting with Chief Don Harris of the Douglas Band. After that, the tour will continue to include an aerial tour of Stave Lake. The idea is to shed a little light on the waterpower projects going on in the area, while promoting an upcoming open house being held in Chilliwack

next Wednesday. As a legal ad stated in last week's Observer, Cloudworks Energy Inc. is proposing to build and operate four waterpower projects in the area. Those projects will be at Statlu Creek, Tretheway Creek, Shovel Creek and Big Silver Creek, and will include run-of-river projects. Cloudworks says

"the four proposed projects would generate approximately 86 megawatts (MW) of energy combined (11, 23, 36 and 16 MW respectively)." While the areas seem remote, there is reason for local residents to be aware of what is going on further up the lake. As Harrison Hot Springs mayor noted in a recent council meeting, it may be that the building of the projects could lead to

a temporary increase in heavy truck trafÀc in and out of local communities. While the media tour will likely provide answers, and The Observer will be publishing a story and photos based on the tour, our Àrst chance to publish that story will be in our November 4 edition — one day after the open house. If you would like to attend the open house, it will be held

at Evergreen Hall in the Cheam Room on Wednesday, November 3, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. At 7:00 p.m. there will be presentations by the EAO and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency on theprocesses with an opportunity to ask questions about the processes. A presentation will also be given by Cloudworks in relation to the proposed projects. The public

consultation process will run for 30 days, from October 27 to November 25. In that time, comments can be sent in online (www. eao.gov.bc.ca), by fax (250-356-6448) or by mail. The comments can be related to potential effects of the proposal, relating to environmental, economic, social, heritage and health issues. news@ahobserver.com

Lesson from a three-legged dog... A life altering decision was made by a Prince George veterinarian when he amputated the front leg of a severely injured stray dog. The recovered dog became the much-loved pet at a local Personal Care facility. Understandably he was immediately named “Bob-a-Long” because of his distinctive style of walking. A dog can experience fear, pain, love and contentment. But “Bob-a-Long” never dwelt on self-pity or remorse. Rather he became the typical and best dog you would expect – wagging his tail, shaking his good left paw and responding to affection. We don’t minimize or deny the complex circumstances or tragedies that afflict some person’s life. Recovering and coping can drain all one’s resources and resilience. The canine lesson is basic: be the best dog you can be. Christians would believe that as Children of a Divine Creator there is a purpose to being alive. In spite of calamity and heart-break it is still hoped that we can be sensitive, loving, creative, persistent and responsible. The resident pet was known by his unique mode of walking. Human beings can be identified by their personal response to daily life. Will you be known for your grimace and pout or by your smile and support? Go ahead, wag your tail!

Farmers’ Market a success Jessica Peters THE OBSERVER

The Kent Farmers' Market Pilot Project was such a success, plans are being put into place for the market to continue next summer. The market ran on Thursday afternoons from 4 p.m to 7 p.m. throughout the summer, ending with a Ànal market at the Agassiz Fall Fair. It was started with funds from a UBCM Tourism grant, in the

amount of $3,668.23. Vendor fees added $2,280 to the market's operating budget. The pilot project was steered by District staff, but run by volunteers, and ended their year with a surplus of $1,100. That money will now be turned over to a committee, and the district will step back a little from the organization of the market. But while the district is stepping back, they

Trick-or-treat If you've never been to the Kent Halloween Spooktacular, this may be the year to start. "The Spooktacular has been going on for 20-something years," says Kimberly Goulet, recreation supervisor for the District of Kent. It's a partnerships between the district and the Agassiz Harrison Lions Club, she says, in which children and their families can come to the Agricultural Hall and enjoy some free, safe and warm festivities. "Kids can come get out of the cold, wind and rain, and show off their costumes," she says. They can also plays some games of chance, while earning "Boo Bucks," which can in turn be traded at the Boo Bank for toys and trinkets. To top it all off, the Lions provide a free hot dog and drink to all children who show up, and provide a small concession for the parents. The Spooktacular also uses the help of the AESS leadership class, who help run the games. The Agricultural Association donates the space to the event, too. While some people choose to trick or treat on the way to the Spooktacular, others gather their treats on the way back. The Spooktacular is open from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Agricultural Hall. news@ahobserver.com

OBSERVER opinion Vandals must have forgot T LOOKING BACK - NOVEMBER 2009 What would cause someone to destroy newlyplanted trees? What's more, who would deface a cenotaph? It's hard to know what was going through the minds of the vandals who killed the trees at Vimy Park last week. Rage? Probably. Alcohol? Duh. But what was the catalyst? Some say it may be because the local skateboard park is temporarily closed for maintenance. Let's hope not. Let's hope that a bunch of kids, lucky enough to own skateboards, have free time, and the ability to do what they want, didn't head down to the nearest beautiful space with the intent of destroying it. Let's hope not, because that park is there for a purpose. It's there to reÁect on the lives of local men who were shipped off to war overseas. The park is there to remember that those 20 men never came back. It's a place of honour, respect and pride. It's also a reminder that our daily freedom to do what we please — to go to war or stay home, to skateboard or walk or bike, to work, study and live in peace — came at a price. So, whoever you are, when you lay down tonight, quietly make an apology. Make that apology to the community today, as well as the community past. Make an apology to those 20 men, many of who still have relatives living in the area, who surely visit Vimy Park from time to time. It was probably too difÀcult to read their names on the cenotaph, as you did your dirty work under the cowardly cover of dark. They are H. Heath, E. Chenhall, M.C. McCallum, N. Seymour, L. Cartier, D. McKinnon, D.H. Petitjean, W. McRae, W. Pollack, A.J. Cuthbert, H. Nealy, C. Sizer, H. Cashmore, Arthur Corriveau, Joseph S. Torgalson, Steven J. Fulbrook, Gordon J.

VICTORIA – The B.C. government is expecting recommendations any day now from its task force set up to examine local taxation of industry. Here’s a tax issue that could use some of the public attention that’s been lavished on the anti-HST circus. It has smouldered for years with mill closures and Áared up recently with a forest industry tax revolt against selected (mostly coastal) municipalities. Rich Coleman set the tone during his tour as forests minister, when he said local governments are “dining out” on their industrial base, overtaxing mills while giving a free ride to the residential voters who keep them in ofÀce. In some cases the mill is paying 20 times the tax rate of a homeowner, without regard to the local services actually consumed by each one. Finance Minister Colin Hansen got a verbal draft of the task force’s recommendations at the end of September. He didn’t wait for the written version, giving his response to the key recommendation to mayors and councillors at their convention in Whistler. Do not expect a proposed $25 million transition fund for those municipalities who let their industrial taxes get out of control. “The ratio between the residential tax rates and the industrial tax rates in some communities is a problem for job creation and job retention in those communities that I think local governments have to deal with,” Hansen told reporters at the convention. “We want to be a supporting partner, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we’re simply going to be writing big cheques.” Hansen mentioned Powell River, one of the mill towns where Catalyst Paper withheld $15 million in property taxes and went

to court to protest the rate. After municipalities’ right to set outrageous tax rates was upheld in court, Catalyst pleaded with Premier Gordon Campbell to provide some interim assistance to the communities. Paying their current costs means shutting the doors. Powell River got that message, and began negotiating what it will take to keep its mill from shutting down, being dismantled and scrapped or shipped to Asia. Nanaimo came to that stage with the Harmac pulp mill and it has reined in its industrial taxation for new owners. Employees there also learned the hard way about pricing yourself out of the marketplace, buying shares, taking pay cuts and cranking up productivity to restore their jobs. The grind continues for towns such as Port Alberni. Catalyst workers there have voted 98 per cent to reject a company bid to reopen their contract, which runs to 2012 and includes a three per cent wage increase set for next year. The union says the company wants concessions that add up to 21 per cent. If the local taxpayers won’t pay more to keep the mill going, the workers will have to, under this owner or the one that picks up the pieces after bankruptcy. Is the B.C. government going to ride to the rescue of these communities, many of which are growing on the residential side as the baby boom retires? No. And it shouldn’t, either. Municipal leaders came away from their convention with a faint hope that cabinet will consider some kind of aid in the spring budget. But Hansen said that would send a poor message to communities with more reasonable tax rates. The province would be using their tax money to subsidize communities that have been gouging industry. It’s a low-proÀle version of the harmonized sales tax debate. Consumers, in this case consumers of roads and sewers, are being asked to pay their way.

Anonymous donor helps with cenotaph Dear Editor, Here we are about midway between Thanksgiving and Remembrance Day, and Branch 32 has a great reason to be thankful â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

thankful for a donation of $5,750. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right, about six thousand dollars. That Ă&#x20AC;gure compares with the Legionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 25 per cent cost of recent repairs and renovations to

the cenotaph in Vimy Park. The donation was made by a local developer, who wishes to remain anonymous and who is thankful that he has lived a peaceful

and fruitful life in a democratic country. He is also thankful for the contribution of veterans to make this life possible. We at Branch 32, Royal

Canadian Legion will remember this generous donation as we remember the Veterans who make it all possible. Jim Johnson, President

SOME SHOES NEED FILLING BE PART OF A GREAT TEAM

Initiative focuses on the Miami River from the Hot Springs Road to McCombs Road. Over the years, invasive species have reduced the biodiversity, and available habitat for the wild life in the area. The trail area also experiences encroachment by homeowners and illegal dumping of garden waste. Removal of invasive plants is an initial step to restoration. Fraser Valley Invasive Council crews treated Japanese knotweed infestation late this summer and the Village removed blackberries recently. Both these plants crowd out native species and destabilize the riverbank. Riparian restoration will increase the habitat for small mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, bees, butterĂ ies and other beneĂ&#x20AC;cial insects. Increased riparian vegetation will also result in better Ă&#x20AC;sh habitat. The

vegetation will improve the water quality by providing shade on the waterway, reducing runoff of sediments

Dear Editor, The Miami River trail in Harrison Hot Springs provides a scenic recreational area and encourages citizens to participate in outdoor exercise. This greenway trail is part of the ofĂ&#x20AC;cial community plan. Next week, volunteers are needed on Tuesday, November 2, 2010 at 10 a.m. to help plant native shrubs along the 200-block Miami of the trail to replace the invasive plants recently removed. The addition of native shrubs and plants, along the Miami River trail, will improve the health and function of the riparian system for people and wildlife. The project is part of the Miami Creek Water Quality Improvement and Environmental Damages Restoration Initiative, funded jointly by Environment Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Environmental Damages Fund and the Village of Harrison Hot Springs.

There's something spooky going on over at ACE. Spooky fun, that is. But if you want to see it, you'll have to be quick. The students and staff at the Agassiz Centre for Education have transformed one of their classrooms into a haunted house. And they're opening the doors to the public on Friday (tomorrow) from noon to 2:30 p.m. Over the last two school years, the students at ACE have been feeling an increasing amount of school pride, says principal Sandy Balascak. And while they don't have the usual

"Spirit Days" or other school pride activities, they do participate in a lot of community activities, such as the Senior Teen Lunch program. Now, it's time to bring the community into their school, she says. They are hoping the local school teachers will make walking trips to visit ACE's haunted house on Friday. But it's also open to the public, too. They are hoping to make it an annual event, Balascak says, and will be putting out a collection tin for donations at the door. Any money raised will go toward more decorations for next year. For more information, phone 604796-9496.

OBSERVER community

Harrison Happenings: Circle of life Ruth Altendorf FOR THE OBSERVER

The greatest pleasure I experienced this fall was to visit with many of my relatives and with my friends. Fall seems to be the perfect time for this. I spent a day on the farm of my late brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son and caught up with his children: two delightful teenagers, Victoria and Alexander, and William, who is still under 10 years of age. I went across the border to meet my grandchildren, again, also still under 10 and I was invited to a Thanksgiving dinner by my grandson, Andrew and his girlfriend, Khristi, who live on the top Ă oor of a highrise

building in Vancouver. There, I also met my oldest grandson, Aaron. There are some people in life who are being dealt more difĂ&#x20AC;culties than others, but many of them cope or even excel in what they are doing, in spite of it! In my eyes they are heroes, and my grandson, Aaron is one of them. InĂ icted with a health issue that, at this point in time is not curable, he still lives life to the fullest. To take part in the different stages of life is most educational: The children, full of energy and excitement, the teenagers and the young people ready and eager to take on the responsibilities of their

time and life. Their parents, who experienced all this before and are now in the full swing of life, dealing with all the pressures and difĂ&#x20AC;culties that come along. And then, there are the seniors, with a longer life expectancy than ever before! I was invited to a Thanksgiving dinner with the seniors at the Friendship House. There we were, some younger than myself, some older. And soon enough, as it always happens at this kind of gathering, the question arose: Where are all the gentlemen? But we soon realized that, at this particular get-together, the ratio was better than usual

â&#x20AC;˘ ECHOES FROM THE PAST

Profits, plaques and October taxes 50 Years Ago, 1960 â&#x20AC;˘ A plaque for the new cairn at Port Douglas Ă&#x20AC;nally arrived at Agassiz in October of 1960 but it would not be placed on the cairn until better weather in the spring of 1961. The cairn was built for the 1958 Centennial but problems with the plaque set back its delivery date. The plaque read: â&#x20AC;&#x153;PORT DOUGLAS: In 1858, the start of the gold rush, the Caribou Trail ran from here to Lillooet on the bank of the Fraser River. This gold rush town was the jumping-off place for thousands until 1863 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 65 when the Fraser Canyon Road turned trafĂ&#x20AC;c through Yale. Erected by the AgassizHarrison Board of Trade, Department of Recreation Conservation, 1960â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;˘ The District of Kentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deadline for taxes was 5 p.m., October 31. In those days the tax deadline was set for the fall, after the crops were in so the farmers had more money to pay. â&#x20AC;˘ The proĂ&#x20AC;t for the 1960 Fall Fair was estimated at about $300. â&#x20AC;˘ Seventy-two square dancers attended a square dance sponsored by the Ă edgling local tennis club. Couples came from as far away as White Rock, Hope, Mission and Chilliwack. â&#x20AC;˘ Locker beef was advertised at $.38 a pound by the side from the Star Meat Co. Ltd., with the phone number UN5-2646. In the 1960s phone numbers in the local telephone exchange began with the preĂ&#x20AC;x UN for Underhill.

and wondered why. Not only this, all the men seemed to be spritely and happy! I quickly realized that almost all of them were curlers! If this is the case, gentlemen pay heed: join the curlers and live longer! Interaction between the ages is very important. We all can learn from one another and it is for this reason that I enjoyed

my different encounters tremendously. Looking into public life, I have two senior heroes: one is Hazel McCallion who, close to 90 years of age, is seeking a twelfth term as mayor of Mississauga in Ontario. On the gentlemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side it is Christopher Plummer who, at 80 years of age, just took on a major part in a future movie and remarked: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep the

work coming, it keeps me young!â&#x20AC;? Then again, perhaps

the best way to stay happy and young is to join the curlers!

Flu Clinics FLU

Better health. Best in health care.

Don’t let the Flu Bug Get YOU! Agassiz / Harrison Are YOU prepared for the inÅuenza season? Did you know you need to get a Åu shot every year to avoid getting the Åu? Community Flu Clinics will be open soon in your area. This year, only one Åu shot is needed and it will protect you against the A/California (H1N1)- like virus, A/Perth and B/Brisbane Åu strains. The A/California (H1N1)-like virus is similar to the virus that circulated during last year’s pandemic. Visit www.fraserhealth.ca or www.immunizebc.ca for more Åu and clinic information.

The vaccine is FREE if you are:

• 65 years or older • a child or adult with a chronic medical condition • living with a senior • living with someone with a chronic medical condition • a health care worker • an emergency responder (paramedic, fire fighter, police, etc.) • Aboriginal people on/off reserve • a healthy child 6-23 months of age • a household contact or child care provider of children 0-23 months of age • adults who are morbidly obese • working with live poultry • a pregnant woman in your last 3 months of pregnancy between November and April • providing care or service in settings that house high risk persons, (e.g. crew on ships). If you do not meet the above criteria, your doctor or local pharmacy may offer vaccine for sale.
