Upgrades for Agassiz’ oldest sewage lift station Federal, provincial and municipal money come together for $200,000 project line which then goes to the treatment plant, explains Steve Nuttall, utilities supervisor at the Agassiz Wastewater Treatment Plant. The McCaffrey station is one of five lift stations in Agassiz. It services 34 residential homes, the RCMP Agassiz detachment, the federal Pacific AgriFood Research Station and the UBC Dairy Education and Research Centre. Part of the lift station was upgraded about 15 years ago, but the original station was built in the late 1970’s. Since then, there have been numerous add-

The McCaffrey sewer lift station will be getting some much-needed upgrades following a federal / provincial funding announcement last week. This lift station is "an essential component of the district's sanitary sewer system," remarked Mayor John Van Laerhoven during a press conference Thursday, July 2. "I believe it's one of our oldest lift stations and it's definitely in need of an upgrade." A lift station takes the sewage from an area and pumps it up into the main

ons in the neighbourhood, increasing the output to more than what the station was designed to handle. “We’ve had issues with levels and flows, including backups,” reports Nuttall. Problems led to operators being called out, sometimes in the middle of the night, to deal with situations, explains Nuttall. Put simply, the upgrades have “been needed for awhile.” MP Mark Strahl and MLA Laurie Throness were in Agassiz to make the announcement of federal and provincial funding up to $66,666 each for the upgrades. The remaining

third of the total $200,000 project costs will be paid for by the District of Kent. "Sometimes the things that are invisible, and that you want to remain invisible, are some of the most important things in the community, like sewer," said Throness. "This federal / provincial municipal program fills a really important need, of doing some of those bread and butter things in communities that are indispensable." In his speech, Strahl highlighted the benefits of the McCaffrey station improvements and his government's role in

funding projects in small communities. But he also commented that he is sad that this could be his last announcement here as MP for the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon riding, which will be split for the next election into the Chilliwack-Hope riding while the District of Kent and Harrison Hot Springs will be part of the new Mission-MatsquiFraser Canyon riding. The financing came out of the federal-provincial Small Communities Fund, which will see $42 million distributed across the province.

The Agassiz Farm Fresh Market is in full summer swing. The sun shines brightly on the tent tops while in the shade underneath, vendors smile at customers and passers-by. It's a sight to behold: baskets of kale and jars of pickled garlic, finely-detailed jewelry beckons from one booth while intricately woven baskets sit at another. Homemade bags and aprons flutter in a slight breeze, bright red strawberries and dark red raspberries picked fresh for the buying. Neighbours chat while doing their shopping, a comingtogether of errands and entertainment in one parking lot. The Agassiz farmer's market has been going strong for six years now. This season, a new marketing co-ordinator joined the team. Jenna Kliever, an Agassiz local back home for the summer, took over the role from busy museum / visitor centre manager

Judy Pickard. Kliever invites everyone to come check out the market and see for themselves the bounty we have around us. "It's such a plentiful time of year, you might as well take advantage of it while you can," urges Kliever. Kliever has a passion to support local small business and says it is great that at the market, you can get up close and personal with the vendors such as Aaron Oss of Ossome Acres. Oss says farmer's markets are a great place to not only promote his business and sell fresh produce, but he gets to meet customers faceto-face and answer any questions they may have. Ossome Acres set up at the Agassiz Farm Fresh Market about four or five years ago and have returned this year to our small-town market.

The number of vendors fluctuates weekly, averaging 13 to 14 each week. The Agassiz Farm Fresh Market takes place in the museum parking lot at 7011 Pioneer Avenue every Thursday afternoon from now through to September, 3-6 p.m. #Meetmymarket

July is Meet my Market month at all BC Farmers' Markets. The province-wide campaign invites you to bring along a friend to your favourite farmers' market.

If you are not on Instagram or Twitter, you can enter the contest via the BC Farmers Market Facebook page too. The contest is put on by the BC Association of Farmers' Markets. Elizabeth Quinn, executive director at the BC Association of Farmers' Markets, says this is a chance to invite others to the join in the farmer's market style of shopping. "There's no doubt that people in BC are passionate supporters of their local farmers' markets. With Meet My Market month, we're encouraging our loyal visitors to introduce a friend to their market - and to show off the beautiful in season foods, and the

great neighbourhood experience they love," says Quinn. Across the province, more than 125 farmers' markets offer an abundance of locally grown food and locally made goods, along with community fun including live music, children's activities, cooking classes, artisan workshops and a place for neighbourhoods to come together. Says BC Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick, "There's something special about every farmers' market and I encourage everyone to share their favourite with a friend, as well as visiting a few more. When you visit your local farmers' market you can see and taste what BC has to offer and all while supporting local jobs and businesses." The contest runs until July 31.

Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has spent more than $80 million so far this year battling forest fires, on a pace for one of the worst fire seasons on record. There were 27 new fire starts reported in B.C. on Sunday alone, with 184 active fires being fought across the province and nine evacuation alerts and orders in effect as of Monday affecting 800 homes. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the unusual early dry spell has provincial costs running ahead of 2003, where devastating fires at Barriere near Kamloops and in the Okanagan destroyed or damaged 238 homes and burned 12 wooden trestles in the Myra Canyon stretch of the historic Kettle Valley Railway. The 2009 fire season is the most expensive on record, with $382 million spent, compared to $375 million in 2003. Those years also saw pro-

longed drought, but it set in later in the summer. A tree-faller was killed Sunday while working on a fire on the Sunshine Coast, the latest reminder of the danger

of firefighting. In 2010, two air tanker pilots were killed, and a helicopter pilot died fighting a fire in 2009. There is no budget limit for forest fire expenditures.

While the costs have to be accounted for after the season, de Jong said he is more concerned with the continued carelessness of people despite the financial and human costs. “I was driving down the highway yesterday and I saw someone throw a cigarette out of their car,” de Jong said. “Give your head a shake. I don’t know what is wrong with people who wantonly put other people’s lives and property at risk.” B.C. has often lent its experienced fire crews to other jurisdictions, but in 2009 more than 1,800 people were brought in from most other provinces, the U.S. and even Australia and New Zealand. That may be more difficult this season, with severe conditions across Western Canada. In Saskatchewan, where 12,000 people have fled their homes, Premier Brad Wall announced Monday that up to 1,000 Canadian Forces troops may be called in to help.

Particulate from fires at ‘unprecedented’ levels: Metro

Jeff Nagel

BLACK PRESS

An air quality advisory issued Sunday afternoon for Metro Vancouver is continuing and has been extended to the Fraser Valley as a result of smoke blowing into the region from wildfires raging across B.C. Metro Vancouver air quality planner Geoff Doerksen said fine particulate concentrations from the smoke have hit levels never seen before across the entire Lower Mainland. “Seeing these heavy smoke levels mix down to the ground is unprecedented for our region,” he said. The air quality objective for fine particulate is 25 micrograms per cubic metre measured as a 24-hour rolling average. Readings four times that level – 100 micrograms or higher – were recorded Monday morning at stations in North Vancouver, Burnaby and Vancouver, where the highest reading of 121.6 was at Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children. Other areas with particulatel levels double to triple the objective included Surrey at 81.7, Langley at 67.2, Abbotsford at 66.2 and Chilliwack at 50. Hope was less smoky at 10. “We’ve never seen this before,” Doerksen said. “We’re exceeding our fine particulate objectives at all of our stations in Metro Vancouver as well as our Fraser Valley stations.” Metro saw elevated particulate in 2012 – with readings briefly spiking towards but not above 100 – as a result of smoke from wildfires in Siberia. There was also more localized smoke in 2005 from a fire in Burns Bog. There’s no single fire to blame for the smoke. Significant amounts of smoke are coming into the Lower Mainland from fires burning west of Pemberton. But nearby fires are also burning on Vancouver Island and on the Sunshine Coast near Sechelt. And officials say more distant fires burning elsewhere in the B.C. Interior and beyond have also brought smoke here because of a lack of wind blowing onshore

from the ocean. “The winds have been shifting quite a bit in the last couple of days,” Doerksen said. “Some of our computer models show smoke as far as Alberta and the Northwest Territories affecting our area.” He said there are two smoke layers – one ground level and one higher aloft – affecting the Metro area, with upper level smoke coming from more distant sources. The hazy conditions are expected to persist until there’s a change in the current weather pattern. But as of Monday, hot, sunny weather is currently forecast to persist through the week. Even worse, lightning is possible Thursday night in the Manning Provincial Park area, according to Coastal Fire Centre information officer Ellie Dupont. The smoke blotted out the sun in much of the region and there have been reports of ash falling over a wide area.

“People from Port Hardy and Salt Spring Island and many other areas have been calling in saying there’s ashes all over their decks and their boats,” Dupont said. Provincial officials are considering a ban on the use of ATVs and motorcycles in the backcountry to prevent more fires from being sparked. “A lot of forest companies have shut down their private lands and put up gates,” Dupont added. “We’re hoping with all the smoke more people will think about the fires that are burning and be more careful,” she said. There have been 85 fires so far in the Coastal fire region this year. Fourteen new ones have been sparked since Sunday and three of them were caused by people. The province is bringing back all firefighting crews it had previously sent to Alaska and the Northwest Territories. After a couple of days of rest, they’ll be back in action battling B.C. wildfires.

Advice on beating the smoke People with chronic underlying medical conditions should postpone strenuous exercise until the air quality advisory is lifted, according to the regional district. Staying indoors and in air conditioned spaces helps to reduce fine particulate exposure. Exposure is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly and those who have diabetes, and lung or heart disease. People suffering from the effects of the degraded air quality are advised to: ■ Stay in a cool, air-conditioned environment and reduce other indoor sources of air pollution such as smoking and vacuuming. ■ Run an air cleaner. Some room air cleaners, such as HEPA filters, can help reduce indoor particulate levels provided they are the right size for your home and filters are changed regularly. ■ Take shelter in air-conditioned buildings that have large indoor volumes and limited entry of outdoor air. This is the second air quality advisory issued in the region this year. An earlier one lasting two days in June was due to ground-level ozone. Avoiding the use of gas-powered mowers and other equipment, and taking transit or carpooling instead of driving can avoid further adding to the region’s air pollution problem.

While District of Kent residents are "well served" by existing parks and recreation amenities, there is always room for improvement, according to a recently completed report for the District. Lees + Associates was hired to conduct an assessment of what the District has in terms of parks, amenities and trails and come up with a long-term plan for additions and improvements to the local assets. Their consultation process included two open houses, one in November, 2014 and one in March, 2015, as well as stakeholder interviews, a Council workshop, staff input and an online questionnaire. Based on their assessment, Less & Associates provided recommendations for the next 25 years, broken into five year increments. Eric Lees said the

On line the timall e! Chilliwack & Areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hottest Listings... www.ChilliwackRealEstateReview.com

project process included "excellent interactions with Council and the community." Looking at what exists now, Katy Amon of Lees + Associates commented, "Residents are well-served in terms of their access to parks." The District currently owns and operates 11 parks, and most residences are within a 10 minute walk of a park. Compared to other similar sized communities, the District is well served in amenities including baseball fields, outdoor basketball courts, equestrian facilities, soccer fields, skateparks, an outdoor pool and tennis courts, according to the report, adding that the quality of most amenities is "high." Over the next five years, the report recommends the District look to formalize camping permitting process at Alm Park, including installing a portable toilets, benches and picnic tables. They suggest developing a spray park in Agassiz and a site plan for Centennial Park. Amon said through the consultation process, a lot of feedback was expressed around upgrades of Centennial Park. Some of the ideas for include working with Little League baseball on concession, more equipment storage, batting cages and more, working with skate

park uses to establish improvement priorities, refurbishing the tennis courts and adding pickleball lines, updating the washrooms and adding benches, bike racks and additional planting beds. Longer term, recommendations include updating Vimy Park, providing additional equipment to facilitate more multi-use courts, develop an access point for water sports at Rockwell Drive, acquire and develop a large park at Mount Woodside and Hopyard Hill, and work with a volunteer group to integrate a pump track (like a bike park) in a new park. In regards to trails, Lees + Associates found that trails such as the Mountain View Trail is viewed as a success, as well as usage of pathways to neighbourhood parks and informal recreational

use of the dykes. Through the consultation process, many spoke to trails as "top priorities." Lees + Associate's recommendations for trails development include working with the Ministry of Transportation and the Village of Harrison Hot Springs to develop a trail between the two communities, seek opportunities to implement an alternate route option on Crown land, develop a circuit trail at Centennial Park and develop a lop trail at Hammersly pump station, amongst other suggestions. A longer-term trail recommendation is to seek out grant to develop a pedestrian and cyclist bridge from Pioneer Ave. to Fooks Road and develop a Fraser River trail loop. The plan was designed to ensure that high

quality, useable parkland is acquired, developed and maintained by the district, to ensure community access to parks and trails, to respond to changing public expectations and lifestyles, to guide the creation and ongoing development of parks and to set spending and investment priorities in tune with community needs. Lees & Associates' vision is to provide access to a range of parks, outdoor recreation and trail opportunities to residents of all ages and abilities while striving to be a healthy and sustainable community. Katy Amon and Eric Lees of Lees & Associates presented the final draft of the Park Acquisition, Improvement and Trails Development Program to the District of Kent Council in a special meeting June 22.

The District of Kent Transportation Network Plan is complete and ready for reference as the District plans future projects and plans. Nadine King, transportation engineer with Boulevard Transportation, presented the final report to District of Kent Council at a recent special Council meeting. The scope of the project was to look at existing conditions as well as forward to 2040, explained King, "to ID existing deficiencies and future issues and concerns." Boulevard Transportation looked at the community's road network, cross sections, traffic calming, site specific improvement options, active transportation and implementation. In terms of traffic calming, King suggested that the District may need to look at tools such as speed readers, education and community programs like the 'Hey Neighbour, Slow Down' program

which the District has adopted, as well as enforcement to help change behaviour. The number one improvement suggested in Boulevard's report is to provide an alternative access for traffic from south on Highway 9 to access the Lougheed Highway. King said obviously this will mean the Ministry of Transportation will need to be spearhead this project as it is a provincial intersection. "It would be a signifiant benefit to the town centre / District of Kent," said King. They looked at options for traffic going through Mountain View Road towards the Lougheed Highway to bypass the town centre. "This was brought forward by a lot of people at the open houses," said King. Options presented include a right in / right out islands, enforcement and community programs or to cut off Mountain View from Fir Road. Enforcement is important," said Mayor John Van Laerhoven about the Mountain View traffic.

"Education is probably more important than that." In terms of active transportation, Boulevard identified numerous locations to help improve transportation for pedestrians and cyclists, including increased bicycle signage, adding shoulders or separated paths for bikes and consider sidewalks on both sides of the road within 500 metres of schools and heavier pedestrianuse areas, such as to the town centre of towards the Community Recreation & Cultural Centre. Of course, all these suggestions come at a cost. Boulevard's estimation is if the District wanted to upgrade the urban roads to what's called cross-section standards, including widening, sidewalks and bicycle facilities would be $2.2 million. To do the same on rural cross sections would be $6.8 million. "The cross sections are the ideal - what we would like to have," says King. "If we could build the ideal, these are costs."

Harrison Gospel Chapel Art Show

Lorene Keitch THE OBSERVER

The 18th annual Art Exhibit opens this weekend at the Harrison Gospel Chapel. Hosted by the church, the art show runs in conjunction with the Harrison Festival of the Arts each summer. It features a wide range of art including paintings, photography, turned wood items and jewelry. Event chair Wendy Martin says visitors always enjoy the unique art on display and like the change from the outdoor festival and beach activities to an indoor venue. Anywhere from 200 to 400 visitors attend the show each year, with folks signing the guestbook from England, across the United States and of course local residents too. “People always comment that it’s a good variety of art and that it’s professional,” says Martin.

One of the 15 artists this year is local photographer Gerald Neufeld. He is a landscape photographer and will be bringing his Fraser Valley and beyond photos to the show. Neufeld, who attends Harrison Gospel Chapel, says while he has always had an interest in photography, he has had time to focus on it more in the last 10 years or so. “In more recent years, I’ve gotten to appreciate the landscape around us,” says Neufeld. “I enjoy nature and appreciate God’s creation.” Pastor Brian Cool says his church definitely values the arts, with an unusually large amount of musicians and artists coming out of a small congregation. He sees a connection between faith and art. “God is a creative God, and He’s given us the ability to create,” explains Cool. “There’s a role of an artist in culture, to be able to speak into the world about things in another way

Warm weather means extra care

Opinion

Published by Black Press Limited. 7167 Pioneer Ave., Agassiz BC V0M 1A0

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Have you shopped at the Agassiz Farm Fresh Market yet this season? To answer, go to the Home Page of our website: www.agassizharrisonobserver.com

Canada Day has long been the unofficial start of summer. Last week, school playgrounds stood quiet for the first time in a long time as students traded their books for beachwear. But Agassiz and Harrison residents could be excused for thinking summer started months ago. It has been hot, and unseasonably dry for the past three months. And that’s not just a casual observation; it’s borne out by the statistics. The hot weather is expected to ease this weekend, but not until after a blistering two weeks of temperatures that crept into the low 30s. For some, the warm weather is a welcome change from our dark and sometimes dreary winters. For others, however, it poses a real risk. Seniors in particular are vulnerable to the extreme heat. Not only is it more difficult for their bodies to regulate temperatures, but the heat may also exacerbate other medical conditions. This community has a great tradition of helping elderly residents clear snow in the wintertime. We need to be equally vigilant during the summer. If you know someone who may be affected by the hot weather, offer them a ride to the grocery store, even if the distance is short. Ensure they have adequate supplies at home. Or just check on them from time to time to make sure everything is all right. Of course, there are precautions we should all take in this heat. Proper hydration and the liberal application of sunscreen is a must. And remember your pets. A car becomes a coffin in just minutes even if the windows are open. Leave your animals at home, or take them with you. But never leave them in a vehicle. Weather experts are predicting a hot dry summer for B.C. But it won’t be long before we’re all complaining about the rain again.

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:

Are you worried about forest fires this year? Here’s how you responded: Yes 100% No 0%

Outlook cloudy for climate policies

B.C. VIEWS

Tom Fletcher Victoria – Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau came to Vancouver last week to unveil his environmental platform for the Oct. 19 federal election. Trudeau promised an overhaul of the National Energy Board and a vaguely defined intention to work with provinces to impose a “price” on carbon dioxide emissions across the country. Trudeau’s media tour took him to the Burnaby facilities of General Fusion, where, like Premier Christy Clark a few weeks before, he stood at his podium before a prototype fusion reactor. This massive octopus of pistons and wires is an attempt to capture the nuclear reaction that powers the Sun and other stars, containing its fury within steel walls and magnetic fields.

The old joke about controlled fusion is that every 20 years, scientists tell us it’s just 20 years away. If it ever is developed, such a process could quickly put an end to our hand-wringing about fossil fuels, largely replacing them with endless, emission-free energy. This is the type of technological revolution that Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s officials indicated would be needed, after Canada announced a pledge with other G7 leaders to make their economies carbon-free by 2100. That’s right, some time within the next 85 years. Clark visited General Fusion in May to announce her new climate action advisory panel, which has to give her a plan to take to Paris next December. That’s the next big United Nations climate summit, where Trudeau hopes to lead a delegation of premiers to stop the flow of “fossil awards” given to Canada by people in polar bear suits. Asked about the fusion reactor

The Agassiz Y Harrison

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

“The point here for voters is that all these leaders, Harper, Trudeau, Clark and many others, are talking down to you. You aren’t sophisticated enough to understand this climate business.” Back to the Future. Trudeau recently told university students that we need to change our concepts of time and space, and he didn’t seem to be kidding. The point here for voters is that all these leaders, Harper, Trudeau, Clark and many others,

are talking down to you. You aren’t sophisticated enough to understand this climate business. The Pope has weighed in, assuring us that carbon trading systems are not going to cut it. This is a rebuke to California, Quebec and the European Union, where effective carbon trading is, like controlled fusion, just around the corner. Pope Francis warned that our “throwaway culture” views nature “solely as a source of profit and gain” and so people won’t voluntarily do the right thing. (The results of the Metro Vancouver transit plebiscite could be interpreted this way, if you ignore the bumbling, waste and political posturing that really did it in.) The Pope concludes that there is “an urgent need” for a “true world political authority” to impose order on the greedy capitalist humans that infest our beautiful planet. Presumably this would be the run by the UN, so my advice is OFFICE HOURS Tues.-Fri. 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Closed Sat., Sun., & Mon.

to start hoarding candles and cat food now. B.C.’s frozen carbon tax has ceased to have much effect, with gasoline consumption back up over 2008 levels amid the usual volatility of prices. Gasoline is going for around $1.30 a litre, despite the prolonged slump in crude oil prices, and people have basically forgotten about this tax on top of all the other gas taxes. Perhaps B.C. can brag in Paris about the Pacific Carbon Trust, which limps along after its neardeath experience in 2013. The trust continues to divert tax dollars from B.C. government operations to purported carbonsaving activities, including paying coastal First Nations not to log the portions of forests that they demanded be preserved.

impairs the ecosystems interactions and viability. On top of this you leave the invasive vegetation, decrease water conservation and promote destruction of any functional habitat. Top-notch Harrison, I applaud you. I’m sure it will all be for the best when you rise to be that economic powerhouse you are striving so hard to become. It smells like fish in here Harrison, but I give you credit for being so smooth. Niek de Brouwer Harrison Hot Springs

Trudeau a man of the people

In the editorial labelled Trudeau’s messaging (editorial, July 2) you state that the Conservative Party is ahead of the Liberals wherein the June 26 poll shows the NDP with 35%, the Liberals with 29% and the Conservatives at 28%. Not as you stated in your editorial. You are obviously not a Liberal fan and should keep that to yourself. As for Trudeau saying that he would like to bring in electoral reform just shows that he agrees with the NDP and the Green parties. His quick email to all shows that he is a man of the people and in no way does it sound as if it was written to look like “a buddy’s drunk test on a Saturday night”. The same goes for the message he sent out after the broadcast. He is a normal Canadian

who values family time as well as his work. When has there ever been a politician anywhere who wanted to get the message out to the people by letting us know he is just like all of us. One must remember that he was taught by one of the greatest politicians in the history of Canada, Pierre Elliot Trudeau. Many people did not like his line on running the country because he was ahead of his time and the people of this country could not get their heads around his ideas at the time. He was a man who would have taught his sons well and Justin is showing that he was taught well. Kathy Read Agassiz

inform the residents of what council business they have planned for the week ahead and the hours they are available to meet with residents and municipal staff. This weekly diary will then be updated to show what hours were actually worked. I would expect that the mayor to put in 20 hours a week and each councillor 15 hours per week. Controls need to be in place just like any other employment for residents to see as they pay their wages.

During the deforestation along Hot Springs Road, (formerly belonging to Peter Kingma), I found it easy to recall back past conversations and observe some mentionable flaws. Back when the land was originally purchased, Council approved to build on land that “was not originally meant to be developed” - (Ken Becotte), because the land had already been purchased and it was “too difficult to redirect plans” - (Council), however; when the land is resold you approve it

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

On a very hot weekend the pool sounds like a great place to be. However when you are a competitive swimmer, hanging out a pool is a bit different than just floating around to get cool. This weekend 28 young summer club swimmers from Agassiz Harrison Aquanauts spent many hours sitting and cheering at the pool side waiting for their 30 seconds to 3 minute time to swim as fast as possible. Half of them swam fast enough to make it to finals. For Bentley McMullin was thrilled that his 5th place finish in 50 breast got him a best time and a chance to get to finals for the first time. Then he swam even faster in the finals to get another best time! Mark Schwichtenber made it to finals in 50 breast with a 4th place finish and then sped up to finish second in the finals. Morgan Sparkes and his brother Logan are both natural swimmers. Morgan

Justine Stoeckly does the breast stroke in the 200 metre individual medley in the Chilliwack meet last weekend.

came 2nd in 50 back. Logan came 2nd in 200 IM, 3rd in 50 fly and 3rd in 100 back. Throughout the whole weekend Jaydin Lees and her sister Taylor were swimming in the same event a few lanes apart. Nothing like sisterly competition to make you work harder. In all four of their events they both qualified for finals. Jayden came 1st in 50 free and 100 free, 2nd in 50 fly and 100 breast. Her sister came 4th in 100 free, 5th in 50 free and 6th in 100 breast and 100 free. Justine Stoeckly and her younger brother Anton and Dana are another set of sibling

powerhouses. Justine and Anton qualified for finals in all their events. Anton came 2nd in 50 free, 50 fly and 100 free and 3rd in 100 breast. Justine had a beautiful 200 IM time and also finally broke her long standing best time by taking 10 seconds off, which is huge in swim world times. She came 6th in the final for that event. She also came 6th in 50 free, 50 fly and 3rd in 100 breast. Dana came 3rd in 50 back, 4th in 50 fly and 5th in 100 IM. Amarri Reynen is no slouch in the pool. This young swimmer worked really hard and achieved a grand

1st place finish in 50 fly. She also came 3rd in 50 back and 100 fly. Katelyn Gafka worked hard spraying team mates with water to keep them cool and also swam hard: she came 4th in 100 back and 6th in 100 breast. Nashon Douglas as always effortlessly sprinted to a 1st place finish in 50 fly and 100 fly. Our great coach Joran Torok and his sister Sydney Torok were there to motivate, encourage and congratulate swimmers as they learned to exercise in the heat. In case you think coaches just sit there and talk about swimming techniques, think again. Sydney swam to a 1st place finish in 50 fly and Jordan came 2nd in 50 fly. The AHA parents (especially our president Catherine Schwichtenberg, Kim Hastie and Theresa Stoeckly) worked long hours doing various officials' work (like stroke and turn monitoring, computer work, timing) to help make sure the swim meet was a success.

Watering has become a ‘way of life’ for us. Those who garden are watering 1-2 times a day and those who don’t have a garden, are glad they don’t! Municipal water restrictions are in place which means little or no watering for the “nonessentials”. Use your own judgement. Dead-heading of annuals and perennials is another task that should be done for the next couple of months. Once seed has ‘set’ or allowed to ripen, the plant JANE KIVETT has done its work and then begins Green Thumb to decline. The vegetable garden is in full production. Potatoes that we planted in large containers with last fall’s garden waste have been producing for a several weeks. Without the usual garden soil, the spuds are clean and only need a rinse before preparation for the table. The majority of our raspberry fruit is infected with the small white larva of the Spotted Wing Drosophila Fruit Fly. It is very sad to see the canes loaded with damaged red fruit. Picking berries as soon as they are ripe in June is the only way to get a harvest. Destroying the infected fruit to interrupt the life cycle is recommended, but with a large patch like ours, that is impossible. The fly infests most ripe backyard fruit, blueberries, strawberries, etc. Commercial growers can purchase products approved for control of the fly, some are accepted for organic crops.

My daylily plants have several distorted flower buds. Instead of the normal long shape, the buds are

rounded and petals are thick and puckered. Are the plants short on water? The Hemerocallis (Daylily) Gall Midge has laid eggs in the tiny buds and the larvae have caused the buds to be deformed. They grow inside the bud, drop to the ground and pupate for the winter. There is only one generation per year and some daylily varieties are more preferred than others. The Stella D’Oro variety does not seem to be affected. To decrease the number of deformed buds next year, start monitoring when buds first appear in the spring. Destroy distorted buds by putting them in a plastic bag and into the garbage. Inform the nearby neighbors to destroy theirs also. There are no registered chemical control products. The berries on our strawberry plants are small, seedy and distorted. Am I doing something wrong? This condition is called “cat-facing” and is caused by the Lygus species, Western Tarnished Plant Bug. They overwinter as adults in leaf litter or similar protected places and emerge in spring to feed on weeds, mate and then move on to the new growth on our dear garden plants. Eggs are then inserted into the strawberry plant. The newly hatched nymphs feed on the berries as they are forming causing the deformed fruit. The adult insect is greenish or reddish brown with a white or yellow green triangle on a shield-like back. Controlling the Plant Bug is difficult for the home gardener. Interestingly, California strawberry growers will use vacuums to reduce the numbers, but that technique will also remove beneficial insects that could be natural biological controls. Any insecticidal control will also affect bees needed to pollinate the strawberry flowers. Send your gardening questions to news@ahobserver.com

EMPLOYMENT/EDUCATION

Lorraine Anne Steeves (nee Lougheed) 1934 - 2015 Lorraine was born in Vancouver B.C. to Norman Lougheed and Bea Lougheed (nee Welpton). She graduated the Vancouver School of Art in 1951 and had a lifelong love of calligraphy and china painting. In 1952 Lorraine married an American naval airman and moved to L.A., California. She gave birth to a son who died tragically of SIDS at two months old. After trouble conceiving again, they adopted a baby girl, Chriss, who is now 55 and living in California. In 1976, Lorraine and her mother came to B.C. for an aunt and uncle’s 50th wedding anniversary. She called an old Vancouver childhood boyfriend, Dave, just to say hello. They met, and feelings blossomed anew. A long distance romance ensued, with many visits back and forth, letters, and hours and hours spent on the telephone. They were married in 1980. Dave and Lorraine enjoyed many years of camping, canoeing, back-roading, and traveling to every end-of-the-road place in B.C. But in the last few years, Lorraine’s bad back and declining health slowed these activities, although the enjoyment of just being together endured to the end. Lorraine leaves behind husband Dave in Pitt Meadows, BC; daughter Chriss in California, and granddaughter Kerstin, also in California; step-daughter Judy in Delta, BC. The family is planning for a Celebration of Life sometime in August.

The proposed District of Kent Zoning Bylaw 1219, Amendment Bylaw 1523, 2015 (Bylaw 1523) has received first and second reading.
