DFO’s diligence on Fraser River proves beneficial for Seabird Island members Dale Cory COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER/JOURNALIST, SEABIRD ISLAND BAND
“You better photograph this,” suggested Fishery Officer Mike Fraser as he helped unload Sockeye salmon from the back of the DFO truck, watching as bucket after bucket was transported into the kitchen inside the Seabird Island Band office. “It doesn’t happen often.” Christmas arrived at Seabird Island in the middle of summer, when a DFO truck, boat still in tow, pulled up to the Band office on a recent morning in late August. In the truck box was a large cooler filled with sockeye, destined for Seabird tables.
“During the course of our patrols, we do come across illegal fish. We do have seizures from time to time. In a year like this, when there’s not a lot of fish around, we try to get the fish to a food bank or a place where they are going to be put to good use. Through some of our dealings with First Nations, we’ve learned it’s important for these fish to be utilized, and not wasted,” explained Fraser. “We know there’s a funeral going on here, and it’s been a year where there’s not a lot of fish around, so the fact these fish can go to the food bank here and for the elders, it’s a feel-good for us, right? You deal with a lot of negativity for the job, so to see this fish go to good use and to the elders is fantastic.”
It can be very challenging for the Seabird community to harvest enough salmon during times of low abundance. With the fishery currently closed to everyone due to low water, high temperatures and the lack of salmon, the donation came as very welcome news to Seabird residents. “Because of the constraints due to low run sizes, we have only had one opening for Sockeye and unfortunately, not everyone was able to harvest enough, if any, for their tables, so I am so pleased that the DFO is able to donate these fish to our Traditional Food Bank,” stated Sally Hope, the designated Fisheries Rep for the Band. “I know that Alexis Grace and her staff work
really hard and do an excellent job of not only finding healthy foods for the Traditional Food Bank, but they also are very creative in finding recipes that are healthy and user friendly for their clients. I am so happy that we can build upon our relationship with the DFO in a way that benefits our community.” Helping carry the many buckets of salmon into the Seabird Island kitchen was Jay Hope, Corporate Affairs Director, and Councillor Alexis Grace, who is the Manager for Employment, Training, and Social Development at Seabird Island. “It’s really exciting to have DFO, when it’s often negative feelings with DFO, and upset, to have something Continued on PAGE 4

Forest fire season winding down
Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
Campfire bans have been lifted for most of B.C. heading into the Labour Day weekend, and rain in most areas of the province has helped crews make progress on most of the 176 fires burning in B.C. as of Monday. Campfire bans are lifted in the Kamloops and Southeast fire centres, although restrictions continue on use of burn barrels and fireworks. No fire bans remain across northern B.C., and the only remaining campfire ban is in the Cariboo fire centre for areas west of the Fraser River. Kevin Skrepnek, chief information officer for the B.C. Wildfire Service, cautioned that areas of high and extreme fire danger remain in the Chilcotin, South Thompson River valley and the southern part of the Prince George fire centre. But continued cool weather and showers this week offer some relief for communities and firefighters. “Just about all our major fires took at least a little bit of rain over the weekend, and this has certainly made some significant progress,” Skrepnek said.
Some of the most threatening fires have eased. Evacuation orders for the Testalinden Creek fire near Oliver were downgraded to alerts Monday, and alerts were lifted for Grand Forks and Christina Lake as B.C. and U.S. crews made progress on the Stickpin fire burning near the border in Washington. The Wood Lake wildfire west of Harrison Lake is now 100 per cent contained. Crews are still on scene patrolling hot spots. The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary lifted evacuation alerts Monday for the Rock Creek fire, which previously damaged or destroyed 30 homes. The B.C. Wildfire Service responded to seven new fires over the weekend, some suspected to be human caused. Total cost and damage for the 2015 forest fire season continues to track at a similar pace as last year, with 296,000 hectares burned and $255 million spent as of Monday. That’s above the 10-year average for B.C. fires, but The Wood Lake Wildfire, burning since Aug. 2, is now 100 per cent contained. lower than the worst seasons The fire, which was human-caused, burned through almost 14 sq km, nearly in recent years, in 2003 and 2009. two and a half times the size of Harrison Hot Springs.

PREPARED?
Making it easier to work in neighbouring municipalities Lorene Keitch THE OBSERVER
The District of Kent hopes joining a regional program will help cut down on red tape and make it easier for businesses to thrive. The Inter-Municipal Business Licensing (IMBL) program is a joint venture between multiple communities that allows a business to buy one home license and one for all the other member communities. The concept behind the plan is that many businesses such as the trades operate in many different communities and need to buy a business license for each one. That requirement leads to compliance issues and financial hardship for small businesses. Agassiz-based Pete & Sons Plumbing & Drain Cleaning Ltd. does work in Chiliwack, Hope, Boston Bar, Abbotsford and Mission alongside Agassiz, for example. “We’re all over the map,” explains owner Henny de Jong. She says while they have a business license that covers those other communities, it does
not include Agassiz. de Jong says the District of Kent joining the IMBL program will make it easier for their business. For others, the move by the District won’t have as much of an impact. Wouda’s Construction Ltd. focuses their business work on the District of Kent and the Village of Harrison Hot Springs. Harrison at this time is not looking to join the program, so Wouda’s still needs to buy a business license for Agassiz and a separate one for Harrison. At the District of Kent Council meeting August 17, Darcey Kohuch, director of development services, presented the report to Council. He explained that the IMBL program began as a pilot project in 2013 with Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Langley, Maple Ridge, Mission, Pitt Meadows, Surrey and Hope. After a successful two years, the pilot project is coming to an end and Kohuch reported the member communities want to continue on as a permanent program. The District of Kent has now been invited to join in the IMBL program.
Council members voted in favour of joining the IMBL program. Councillor Sylvia Pranger was quick to lend her support. “The whole object is to make it more business-friendly, with less red tape and bureaucracy,” said Pranger. Mayor John Van Laerhoven said he likes that there is a choice in the program for business owners to participate or not, depending on the scope of their work. Van Laerhoven said they had phone calls after the IMBL program was implemented elsewhere asking why the District wasn’t part of the program. “At that time, people were disheartened we weren’t part of it,” he recalls, adding he was disappointed the District didn’t get to participate “right from the get-go.” Now that Council has voted in favour of joining, staff are working to be ready to implement the program locally in time for 2016 business licensing.

Harrison gets funding boost
Lorene Keitch The Observer
Harrison received $283,359 for projects that work to support tourism infrastructure and amenities, Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness announced last week. "Local residents have seen the improvements that have taken place under this funding arrangement and I am pleased to support the extension of this program,” Throness said in a press release. “Harrison Hot Springs is a prime destination for tourism in B.C. and we need to keep it beautiful." Harrison Hot Springs was one of 14 communities that received an expected share of the provincial Resort Municipality Initiative (RMI) fund. The nearly $300,000 will go to improvements in block two of Esplanade Ave., according to Mayor Leo Facio. The money is the latest installment in the Province’s commitment to support Harrison and other tourism-based communities such as Whistler, Sun Peaks and Fernie through the RMI program. Facio says the question now is if they can convince the provincial government to keep the RMI funding going past 2017. It was

originally supposed to end sooner but the province extended it a year. The mayors and CAOs from the resort municipalities will be getting together with provincial representatives at the upcoming UBCM (Union of British Columbia Municipalities) meeting on Monday, Sept. 21 to discuss the possibility of continuing the program. It’s no surprise Facio and the other 13 mayors would like to see the program continue. Harrison alone has received a total of $2,831,105 since 2007 through the RMI fund. The money has gone to
projects including the streetscape revitalization project on Esplanade Avenue and the new village gateway. In total, more than $98.1 million in RMI funding has been invested since 2006 to support tourism infrastructure and programs. “The Resort Municipality Initiative is an important program for the Village of Harrison Hot Springs,” Facio stated in a press release. “I am pleased to learn that the Province has extended the program until 2017, allowing us to invest further in our tourism infrastructure.”
Building stronger relationships when fish are seized engages the communities, and allows for a better relationship. “We absolutely see continuing this. We’ll run it through our management, but they’re quite supportive of programs like this. The fact it’s a bona fide food bank program, and the fish is going to

enforcement fishery, there’s always those tensions. The fish are already dead so we can’t save them, so the fact they can go to the elders and a good cause, I’m sure we’ll be continuing on as long as we can.” That’s welcome news for Grace and her department, which can now offer jobs to band members through the processing phase. And an action plan was put in place immediately after the delivery was made. “Community members are being called in and employed to cut the fish and clean the fish. And another community member is being employed to vacuumpack the fish for us,” explained Grace. “Our youth are embedded in all of our programming, so they will be learning to cut and clean and can. As well, some income assistant clients will be coming in to can and benefit from that too.” And with that, DFO officers were back in their truck, and off to patrol the Fraser, setting in place a plan to help feed Seabird Island Band members, and build a positive relationship with the Seabird community.

Laugh was on us
Opinion
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Are you glad the fire ban has been lifted? To answer, go to the Home Page of our website: www.agassizharrisonobserver.com
In the wake of the severe windstorm that hit the Lower Mainland last weekend – and the subsequent power failures that left thousands of BC Hydro customers without electricity as of Tuesday morning – one has to wonder what an honest-to-goodness crisis in this region would look like. Although one can't minimize the damage the violent gusts wreaked on trees and adjacent powerlines, this was not, after all, a tornado, an earthquake or a tsunami. It's sobering that it only takes a strong wind to show us how thin the veneer of civilization is for a society so reliant on electrical devices. The laugh was on us – and it wasn't simply a matter of being without lights. Many realized quickly that all their lines of communication were instantly severed or subject to very finite limits. Computers were down, big-screen TVs were out. Even such rechargeables as cellphones, iPods, iPads and laptops were quickly running out of juice. Traffic signals were out, increasing the dangers of travel for those seeking electrical relief. Garage doors would not open and people were stranded outside of apartment buildings that could not be accessed other than by a key-pad. All these are First World problems, indeed – and would be laughable, if they didn't point out just how vulnerable, ill-prepared we are for any deviation from our comfortable norms, let alone the kinds of tragic devastation that we have seen visited on other parts of the world. When the comforts of our technology-addicted society are suddenly denied us, we need to use it as an opportunity to test our self-reliance. We would be foolish indeed if we didn't let this latest incident serve as a lesson to renew our emergency supplies, and make sure we are equipped with survival basics. We should make sure we are all equipped with adequate amounts of nonperishable, nutritionally sound food, water, cooking and boiling facilities, first-aid kits and lighting and communication devices capable of working offgrid, to enable us and our families to survive a protracted period – a week, at least – without being a drain on the help of outside agencies ~ Black Press

Do you think there are enough warnings at Harrison Lake? Here’s how you responded: Yes 92% No 8%
Alaska sits in judgment of B.C.
Tom Fletcher Victoria – Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett spent much of last week in Alaska, trying to assure local fishermen and environmentalists that B.C.’s mine approval process is “basically the same” as Alaska’s. Bennett visited an abandoned mine in northwest B.C. that continues to leak acid and metal pollution into the Taku River, vowing to supervise cleanup by a new operator. He noted that one of B.C.'s proposed new mines includes a 23-km pipe system to move ore out of the shared watershed for processing. This is typical of the discourse between B.C. and our American cousins. Only our industry is questioned. Meanwhile in Colorado, the latest mine spill disaster was
blamed on a mistake by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. And in Alaska as in the rest of the U.S., new metal mines such as the giant Pebble project depend on the same engineering and testing as ours. Here in Victoria, the Fantasy Island dialogue about oil continued, with Green Party leader Elizabeth May calling a news conference to announce she is (brace yourself) opposed to pipelines and tankers on the B.C. coast. She stood at Clover Point, where daily Alaska crude tankers sail past, many on their way to vast refinery complexes just out of sight at Anacortes and Cherry Point in Washington. A good portion of B.C.’s gasoline comes from there. Without a drunk-captain incident since 1989, these tankers load up at the terminus of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. Let’s take a closer look. For 47 years, the pipeline has pumped huge volumes of oil across Alaska from the charming northern

miles, which leaves engineer Bhaskar Neogi accountable for one of the heaviest metal things in the Western Hemisphere, through which the vast majority of Alaska’s economy flows,” Waldman writes. “Daily, the four-foot steel tube spits out $50 million of oil.” It was once the largest private infrastructure in the U.S. Today it’s the most regulated pipeline in the world, with planes flying infrared sensors to detect leaks of warm oil and “line walkers” looking for soft spots in the permafrost.

It struggles to flow, with a black asphalt bottom and thick wax that has to be scraped out of the pipeline by the ton with giant “pigs” that clean and monitor walls for corrosion. The five Prudhoe Bay oilfields have been declining in production for 20 years, to the point where the Trans-Alaska pipeline now carries about a quarter of its design capacity. It’s expected to run out OFFICE HOURS Tues.-Fri. 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Closed Sat., Sun., & Mon.
around 2040, but for now Valdez still loads more than a tanker a day. Waldman writes that when North America’s largest oilfield was discovered in 1968, companies first considered extending the Alaska Railroad up to Deadhorse. But they would have needed 63 trains a day of 100 cars each. Trucks, cargo planes and even nuclear-powered submarines running under the Arctic ice were briefly considered. Since we had a bit of handwringing last week about a small earthquake near Fort Nelson that may or may not have been triggered by hydraulic fracturing, it’s worth noting that Trans-Alaska oil also causes noticeable tremors as it rushes down the Chugach Mountains to a sudden stop at Valdez. But those are American earthquakes, so no story there. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Be responsible for your own water safety am not mistaken, it is the rule to have a life vest available for each passenger on a watercraft. You can place signs all along the beach at Harrison, and perhaps elsewhere including other beaches, but you can’t police people to make sure they wear life vests. I believe that people need to be responsible for their own safety on and in
the water. While signage may seem a good idea after the fact, I believe the effort may be wasted. I have observed that people in watercrafts don’t usually read beach signs; placement at boat launches or boat/ watercraft rentals might be more appropriate. K.C. Curry Chilliwack, BC
Common sense
After reading last week’s front page story about the drowning of two young men in Harrison Lake, and I offer my condolences to the families for their loss, but I have to wonder if those who were on the inflatable raft were wearing PFD’s. The next obvious question would be, if they were not wearing PFD’s, why not. There is an element of danger to all bodies of water unfortunately. Lives have been lost in bath tubs, hot tubs, swimming pools and
Thanks to first responders
other supervised areas, not to mentioned unsupervised areas such as rivers, lakes and oceans. Common sense should not have to be a super ower. I would implore anyone that goes out on the water in a boat, raft, skiing, wake-boarding, windsurfing or just for a cruise to wear a PFD, for unless you can truly walk on water, it may well save your life. Â
Thanks to Dr. Beaulieu and staff at Seabird Island Dr’s office for their assistance with Fred Simon. Also, thanks to the ambulance attendants for their quick response and the Seabird Island Fire Department and Agassiz Fire department, and all the others who were involved in the situation.

This Labour Day weekend the Harrison Festival Society presents Harrison Country Craft, taking place September 5 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and September 6 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in and around the historic Harrison Memorial Hall. The market, previously called Harrison Craft Market, assumes a new name this year, while it maintains its character as a cozy, indoor market
that has been an annual event for almost as long as the festival itself has been in existence. "As with our waterfront festival Art Market, which takes place in July, Harrison Country Craft features handmade artisanal products," says Andy Hillhouse, the festival society's Artistic Director. "The 'country' in the new name partly reflects the rural, village
setting of Harrison. It also happens to work nicely with the fact our market takes place just across the road from the annual country music event Bands on the Beach." The event of which Hillhouse speaks, the highly successful Bands on the Beach, is presented by Tourism Harrison. With the breathtaking scenery of Harrison Lake as
Agassiz Fall Fair
Colouring Contest
its backdrop, this increasingly popular two day concert series showcases some of the Fraser Valley’s best country music talent including Harrison's own Todd Richard, the Greg Drummond Band, Jackson Hollow, Rocket Science, and more. The more than 30 plus vendors that make up Harrison Country Craft offer the highest quality of a wide selection of home decor, body care, food, fashion and artful creations amidst the small town atmosphere and hospitality of Harrison Hot Springs. An annual community event for more than 20 years, this market is one of the main fundraising activities for the Harrison Festival Society
with 10% commission collected on all vendor sales to help support the Societies' year round events, including the society's 27th Season of Performing Arts, which will kick off with an opening concert Sept. 26 featuring Vancouver based New O r l e a n s - i n f lu e n c e d group Cannery Row in the intimate Harrison Memorial Hall. Admission to the Harrison Craft Market and Bands on the Beach is free. For more info and a full listing of this year's crafty vendors visit www.harrisonfestival. com, call 604-7963664 or email info@ harrisonfestival.com.

Evergreen Park play structure
Residents near Agassiz’ Evergreen Park will soon see a new play structure rise up at the Agassiz park. The decision was made by the District of Kent Council after consultation with home owners in the vicinity of the park. Residents wanted to see play equipment tailored to children under 10 years of age and included accessibility considerations. The District opted for a proposal from Suttle Recreation that was not the cheapest but provided greater accessibility and ranked high on their other criteria including quality of equipment, innovation and "playability." The new playground met all the District's objectives including a variety of play features and activity panels, according to the staff report to Council. The structure is estimated to cost close to $30,000 plus taxes. The District of Kent has been in discussion with service groups about possible involvement but no decisions have been made.

The Kent Harrison Arts Council presents ‘Pull’, a diverse collection of silk screen prints this September at the Ranger Station Art Gallery. The collection was drawn out of the portfolios of a class at Emily Carr University taught by the Ranger Station’s artist-in-residence Aimee Henny Brown. While the course was an introduction to silk screening, don’t let the title fool you. The students spent an intense seven weeks, twice a week for eight hours per day, studying everything from terminology to technique in the field of silk screens. “It’s a huge learning curve,” explains Brown. “It’s a very in-depth process; there’s a lot of technical and conceptual learning.” Silk screening involves using an image and a process called photo emulsion, with light sensitive coating on a screen that’s a very fine mesh textile, which you use to create stencils. “It’s very similar to the principle of cutting a stencil and using spray paint,” explains Brown. She says the wonderful thing about the silk screen process is you can really fine tune colour, opacity and layers. Andy Warhol often used this technique to create his famous prints. “It has a real graphic quality to it,” she explains. For Brown, this will be her last contribution to life at the Ranger Station. She was wrapping up her artist-in-residency last week when she was interviewed by phone for the show. “It’s very bittersweet,” says Brown. “It’s been amazing.” She’s off to teach at Emily Carr University this Fall and was the recipient of a grant for a project she’s had on her mind for awhile now. Keep your eyes on this Canadian artist, she’s destined for great things. To follow along on Aimee Henny Brown’s work, visit www.aimeebrown.ca, which she plans to update this Fall. ‘Pull’: A show of silk screen prints runs runs Sept. 5-27. The opening reception takes place this Sunday, Sept. 6 from 2-4 p.m. The Ranger Station Art Gallery is located at 98 Rockwell Drive in Harrison Hot Springs. For more information, call 604-796-2723.

Vaccinations Protects Kids
Fraser health reminds parents to immunize
The back-to-school season is a great time to review your family’s vaccinations. Does anyone need to schedule an appointment? Immunizations are one of the most effective preventative medical interventions available to protect children against serious vaccine-preventable diseases. However, children are not considered fully protected against vaccine preventable diseases until they have completed the recommended immunizations. Children between four and six years old should have up-to-date booster shots to protect against polio, tetanus, diphtheria, chicken pox and whooping cough. Subsequent vaccinations are also received in grades 6 and 9 at school, with
periodic immunizations also recommended throughout adulthood. By ensuring your child is immunized, not only are you protecting their health but those in the community as well. If you need to make an immunization appointment, call your family physician or local Public Health Unit. Fraser Health’s public health teams are supporting parents in keeping up with their child’s immunization schedule, offering convenient access to immunizations clinics during the evenings and on weekends. Please contact your local Public Health Unit for drop-in clinic times. In Agassiz and Harrison Hotsprings, the public health unit is located at 7243 Pioneer Avenue. Call 604-793-7160 for more information.

In B.C., 78 children aged five to 18 are injured in crashes in school or playground zones every year.* With children heading back to school, the B.C. government, ICBC and police are asking drivers to watch for children, especially in or around school zones and expect more traffic on our roads. Police and Speed Watch volunteers will be closely monitoring drivers’ speeds in school zones across the province. Parents are encouraged to review the rules of the road with their children and go over their daily route to and from school. The start of the school year is also a great time for parents to consider carpooling with another parent in their neighborhood for school drop off and pick up or allowing their child to walk or cycle to school if possible to help reduce traffic congestion and vehicle carbon emissions. Quotes: “We all need to do our part to keep children and students safe,” said Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. “That means expecting busier roads and giving yourself plenty of travel time so you aren’t rushing and can stay focused on the road. Use extra caution especially around school zones.” “When parents send their kids back to school this fall, they expect them to come home safely at the end of the day,” said Mike Bernier, Minister of Education. “It’s up to all of us as drivers, as parents, and as students to slow down, be alert and obey the rules of the road.” “Police will be closely monitoring drivers’ speeds in school zones to make sure they stick to the 30-km/h speed limit,” said Chief Constable Neil Dubord, Chair of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police Traffic Safety Committee. “We want children to get a safe start to the school year so we’re asking drivers to be extra careful on our roads and watch for children.”
“The start of the school year is an exciting time for children so road safety may not be top of mind for them,” said Lindsay Matthews, ICBC’s director responsible for road safety. “We’re encouraging parents to talk to their children about the rules of the road and their daily route to school. Even older children need to be reminded about road safety.” Tips for drivers: • Every school day, unless otherwise posted, a 30 km/h speed limit is in effect in school zones from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. • When you’re dropping off your children in school zones, allow them to exit the car on the side closest to the sidewalk. Never allow a child to cross mid-block. • If a vehicle’s stopped in front of you or in the lane next to you, they may be yielding to a pedestrian, so proceed with caution and be prepared to stop. • Watch for school buses. Vehicles approaching from both directions must stop for school buses when their lights are flashing. • Before getting into your vehicle, walk around your vehicle to make sure no small children are hidden from your view. Always look for pedestrians when you’re backing up.

Finally, Some serious thoughts about Sasquatch
While all I have been writing about Sasquatch so far was more or less in fun, I should not fail to mention that there was also serious research going on about the subject. It RUTH ALTENDORF happened Senior here in Happenings Harrison Hot Springs and started in the year 1957, which was the year when British Columbia celebrated its 100th birthday. Communities all over the province thought of ideas that could help celebrate the event and the Village of Harrison Hot Springs entered a “Sasquatch Search”. Part of this was, “Story Telling” and perhaps some of these stories were what first caught John Green’s fascination.
John Green, you must know, was a resident of Harrison Hot Springs and always saw possibilities before others did. He must have tried to followup some of these stories as, even before, in the year 1958, it was reported that humanlike tracks were found in Northern California. When he learned that some of them were as big as 16 inches - or about 40 cm. - nothing could hold him and his wife, June, back from going there to see it for themselves. While there, they met the person who had found the tracks, a taxidermist by the name of Bob Titmus. The meeting was the beginning of a long friendship and when more tracks were found, together they went on a number of exploration trips through British Columbia and California. It was not until 1968, however, when John Green wrote his first book about the mysterious Sasquatch. Surprisingly, the book not only made Sasquatch
A little help from our friends
Remember that classic Beatles song released in 1967, “With A Little Help From My Friends”? It’s the kind of song that anyone can sing … gets stuck in your head … makes you want to find a group to do the question and answer lines, right? ‘Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a tune, and I’ll try not to sing out of key’. Fast forward to today and there are times when things feel very out of tune. Our beautiful little valley is not exempt from tragedy and heartache resulting from the negative consequences of bullying, addiction, eating disorders and depression. The song goes on to ask, “Do you need anybody?” and as a way of answering YES, a group of teens and adults, parents and professionals, government agencies, businesses and service clubs gathered together just over two years ago to form The Help Project Society. The YES came in the form of developing a website full of resources and contacts for youth and their families to access in times of need. It came in the form of raising awareness on the importance of being open and informed about mental health by using contests, visiting schools, and talking to whomever would listen about the real topics that affect youth. That YES was the acknowledgement that we needed to create a culture of help, to make it easier to “get by with a little help from my friends”. So, “lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song” and that song asks you to come and see what The Help Project Society is about, to take or make time to join them in their mission in making sure our local youth have all the resources they need to grow and learn and thrive. You don’t have to give endless hours, you can offer your skills as you are able, your time as it works for you, but every little bit makes a difference. The next project the Society is undertaking is a fundraiser and celebration of the ongoing mission to create a culture of help in our towns. Call the library at 604-796-9510 for information on the next planning meeting. After all, the only way to accomplish our goal is when we “try with a little help from our friends”.
famous, it also sold over 100,000 copies. Subsequently he wrote more books about their research and the sale of them eventually enabled John and June Green to retire and do more research and traveling. Their findings, especially casts of the tracks, are often displayed during the many Sasquatch Days and other festivities here in Harrison Hot Springs, to the fascination of our visitors. However, no permanent place has been found as yet to display these items and books on a permanent basis. Not long ago, our Council had the great idea to put a life-size carving of Sasquatch at the entrance of our village. Let’s not stop there, let’s find a permanent place for Sasquatch and all his belongings. We owe it to our most famous resident, the Sasquatch, to John Green who has put so much research and work into the mystery and last but not least, to our visitors. They, I

Are longer dry spells going to be the norm for the Pacific Northwest? A prediction is being made for it to continue at least into next year and possibly longer. So now is a good time to make an assessment of the trees, shrubs and perennials in our gardens regarding the moisture that they needed during our dry spring and summer. Some plants didn’t survive even with a weekly watering, and may have to be replaced with plants that are droughttolerant or eliminated. A larger selection of plants which survive in arid conditions will be sold in local greenhouses in the future. Every gardener has decisions to make regarding climate changes and how we

Many perennials will grow in our dry summers and wet winters and even flourish. For healthy plants provide good quality soil with deep drainage, proper spacing and a mulch to retain moisture. New plantings will need more water until they are established. The perennials that are drought-hardy and can be seen in local gardens at the present time are: Rudbeckia ‘Goldstrum’ (black-eyed Susan); tall sedums, a succulent with pink flowers and ground
