Lilee captures our hearts

Jessica PetersTHE OBSERVER

October brought sad news for all those who know Agassiz-raised Andrew Putt. His 10-month-old daughter Lilee Jean was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, the most common, most aggressive form of brain cancer. But over the past two months, Lilee's story has evolved from one of potential tragedy, to one that has inspired thousands of people.

Aft er hearing her story, people across the Fraser Valley opened their hearts and wallets in support of Lilee and BC Childrens Hospital. Th ousands of dollars were raised in Agassiz alone, both through a successful spaghetti fundraiser and through

individual eff orts. And when Putt's rock band, Pardon My

Striptease, fi nished off and released their song Pray in Lilee's honour, the song catapulted to the top of iTunes' charts within hours. It caught the attention of every media outlet, and that coverage (and a personal challenge from the PMS band members) resulted in Nickelback donating $50,000 to the hospital.

And there's even better news. At a recent check-up, doctors found that Lilee's tumour has shrunk in half. Since then, she has enjoyed some moments such as dropping the puck at a Chilliwack Chiefs game, meeting the Canucks mascot, and even celebrating her fi rst birthday.

While it's been a positive initial outcome, Lilee's parents Putt and Chelsey Whittle say the fi ght is far from over.

But for now, they are calling Lilee Jean a miracle.

Toddler’s cancer diagnosis quickly becomes top news story of 2011

Andrew Putt shares a story with his daughter Lilee Jean, shortly after she was diagnosed with Glioblastoma in October 2011. Her journey quickly became a fast-evolving news story, and has lead to thousands of dollars being donated to BC Children's Hospital.

Top Stories of 2011

Harrison Festival’s fate still uncertainJessica PetersTHE OBSERVER

Every summer, Harrison’s beachfront comes alive with sights and sounds from around the world. Musicians gather for workshops, craft ers sell their handiwork, children learn about diff erent cultures as the Harrison Festival of the Arts takes over the village.

For 10 days, the spirit of the arts is alive and well, and tourists come from far and wide to have a taste.

It’s been possible, in part, due to Community Gaming Grants. But that funding was put in jeopardy when the eligibility criteria changed — eff ectively

eliminating adult-oriented arts events such as the 33-year-old Harrison Festival.

Skip Triplett was appointed last summer to conduct an independent review that would spell out options for improving the gaming grant programs. It was then that the Festival Society reached out to the community and asked for support.

More than 1,700 people across B.C. participated in the review process, speaking to the importance of programs that encourage volunteerism and engage the community in healthy ways.

Th e results of that review were sent to the government on October 31, and at

press time, art lovers and culture vultures across the province were still waiting for fi nal word.

Director Phyllis Stenson said that the festival society has enough money in its coff ers to deliver one more year of entertainment, and one more festival.

But aft er that, the future is entirely uncertain.

“When the (current) agreement runs out in March we will receive nothing,” she said. “Th is means that we will be able to present one more Festival and one more year of year round programs and could then be faced with closing our doors aft er 34 years.”

DFO-regulated hand cleaning not working, say farmersSalish sucker debate continues


Despite being one of the area’s smallest inhab-itants, the Salish sucker sure knows how to make a splash.

Th e endangered fi sh has been identifi ed on privately-owned land. And that discovery means that local farm-land is now deemed criti-cal habitat. Back in Janu-ary, DFO offi cials came to the area to publicly discuss a recovery strat-egy for the fi sh.

Th e discussions at that meeting ranged from his-torical anecdotes to an-gry, frustrated speeches.

Th en councillor John Van Laerhoven told the Observer aft erward that “farmers clearly mistrust DFO and with good rea-son.”

Th e presence of the Salish sucker alters the way ditches can be cleaned. While machine cleaning is thought to be eff ective, DFO won’t allow it in certain water-ways. Th e alternative is hand-cleaning, thought to be better for maintain-ing fi sh numbers.

Farmers remain con-cerned that the hand-cleaning isn’t happening fast enough, and that fl ooding is occurring on

their properties that not only aff ects their land, but other homes in the District of Kent.

Th roughout the year, farmers have been put-ting pressure on council to keep working to fi nd a

better solution. But in the end, DFO makes the fi nal decisions on how ditches are cleaned.

Year in Review


If 2010 was the year to argue the pros and cons of renovating Harrison Memorial Hall, then 2011 was the year to celebrate its revival.

Harrison council received a $400,000 grant from the prov-ince’s Towns for Tomorrow pro-gram early in 2010. But even aft er the funding was approved, and earmarked specifi cally for renovations at the hall, council

was split on how to spend the money.

It was an 80/20 split grant, meaning that the grant would cover up to 80 per cent of the cost of the project. Th en council-lors Bob Perry and Allan Jackson were against renovating the hall, which was identifi ed as having “structural defi ciencies” at the time. Despite the disagreements, the project got underway, and were mostly fi nished by early 2011.

Th e hall was re-opened early February, with a new roof, new heating and cooling, an updated kitchen, new washrooms and more. A special ceremony was held, with guests MLA Barry Penner and Craven Huston Pow-ers Architects, who was a main component in the restructuring of the 60-year-old hall.

Since the hall was renovated, Harrison council now holds many of its public meetings there.

John Van Laerhoven speaks to DFO officials at a public information meeting in January.

A trio of thieves was caught after video of their crime was posted online.

SUBMITTED PHOTO


A trio of thieves earned their 15-minutes of fame when a fed-up cabin owner posted a video to the internet last winter.

Th e video showed the three men violently break-ing into the remote, boat-access Harrison Lake cab-in, casually rooting through the cabin, and making their escape on a boat. When the video was loaded to Youtube, and a story about the video was pub-lished in this paper, tips from the public came into the RCMP fast and furiously.

Th e men were quickly identifi ed and headed to court, and it was discovered that the suspects were responsible for another cabin break in.

Th e video remains online, and could serve as a warning to would be thieves, that home owners aren’t just outfi tted with hidden video cameras these days. Th ey also have internet access, making identi-fying suspects easier than ever.

One Strahl out,another in

Robert FreemanBLACK PRESS

Chil l iwack-Fraser Canyon MP Chuck Strahl brought down the curtain in March on a long and remarkable political career.

And was promptly hit by a storm of con-

troversy when his son Mark sought and won the Conservative nomi-nation for the upcoming federal election.

NDP opponents charged Strahl with creating a political “dy-nasty” in the riding that he’d held since he was

fi rst elected as a Reform Party MP in 1993.

Conservative candi-dates had only about a week to organize nomi-nation campaigns, and even some party mem-bers called the process a “mockery of democ-racy” that cast a shadow

on Strahl’s otherwisesterling reputation.

But party offi cials in Ottawa explainedthat the “drastically-re-duced” nomination pe-riod in Chilliwack, and two other ridings whereConservative MPs haddecided not to run, was caused by the need toget candidates in placefor the federal election.

Mark Strahl won the Chilliwack nomination over a single challenger, Ernie Charlton, by a comfortable vote mar-gin of 144 to 77.

Touted at one point as a rival of Stephen Harp-er’s for leadership of the New Conservative party, the elder Strahl eventually stepped aside from the race but con-tinued to support MP Tony Clement for the leadership.

Yet he was still en-trusted by Prime Minis-ter Harper with several high-profi le cabinet po-sitions, including Indian Aff airs .

Th is show of respectcame even though Strahlhad once led a group of dissident Reform MPswho sat as an indepen-dent caucus in parlia-ment, and talked aboutan alliance with “red” Tory, former PrimeMinister Joe Clark.

Cloudworks executives were in Harrison Hot Springs in April to discuss local run-of-river projects publicly.

An open house was held in Me-morial Hall, hosted by the Village of Harrison. Some of the concerns residents brought to the table were traffi c issues during construction, environmental concerns and noise complaints.

Run of river is meant to be a greener way of harnessing hydro power. Rather than building large dams, run of river projects capture

the energy of waterfalls. Th e areas discussed in April were

Statlu Creek, Big Silver Creek, Shov-el Creek and Tretheway Creek.

Th ere will be more chance for public discussion in January, 2012. Cloudworks recently announced they would be moving forward with plans at Tretheway Creek, Shovel Creek and Big Silver Creek.

Statlu Creek’s project is currently under review.

For more information, visit the BCEAO website at www.eao.gov.bc.ca.

Cloudworks vice president Graham Horn fielded questions from Harrison Hot Springs residents at an open house facilitated by the Village, in Memorial Hall in April this year. Cloudworks is in the midst of creating several run of river projects in the Harrison Lake area.

Lions bingo night foldsJessica PetersTHE OBSERVER

You’ve got to know when to hold them, and know when to fold them.

And aft er 40 years of local Li-ons bingo nights, this July it was fi nally time to fold.

It didn’t come as much of a surprise to many, Lion Mel Jor-gensen said at the time.

“Twice we’ve had to cancel

bingo in the last few months,” he said, due to a dramatic drop in attendance. It takes at least 20 people to run a good bingo night, and more still to earn a profi t. In its heyday, the Agassiz-Harrison Lions Club bingo would attract 350 to 400 people. One night, a major fundraising eff ort drew in 750 people.

In its fi nal weeks, the number has hovered anywhere from 13 to

24. It’s not the complete end of

bingo dollars in the area, though. Th e Agassiz-Harrison Lions

Club continues to participate intelevised bingo on Shaw Cable, along with the Dogwood Mon-archs and the Hope Lions Club. Tickets are available at Ledoux Hardware, the Chehalis General Store, and Th at Store (on Pioneer Avenue in Agassiz).

Here are excerpts from my year-end interview with B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix:

TF: Th ere was a lot of cheering at your convention Dec. 10 when federal NDP leader Nycole Turmel said that B.C. shouldn’t have to pay Ottawa back the $1.6 billion HST transition payment. Th at hasn’t been your position. Isn’t this a mixed message for the public?

AD: No. In the federal election campaign, the NDP advocated for that position, and they said that if they were elected, and of course it was the late Jack Layton who put forward the argument that B.C. would not have to return the money, would we have voted at that time to

get rid of the HST. Obviously, while the NDP did extremely well in that election, we didn’t win. Mr. Harper won. He says we have to pay the $1.6 billion back and the Liberal Party of B.C., Ms. Clark and Mr. Campbell’s party, signed a very bad deal for B.C. that we’re stuck with.

TF: You replaced Carole James this year. At the root of that situation was a complaint about a policy vacuum in the B.C. NDP. I put it to you that that vacuum still exists …

AD: [laughs] I guess I can’t count on your support.

TF: I’m making a list here. Increase corporate taxes to 2008 levels. Bring back a corporate capital tax and use that to fund student grants. Have I missed anything?

AD: In January and February, many people criticized those proposals, especially the one returning corporate taxes to 2008

levels. And then the government adopted, briefl y, those proposals in May. So I’m delighted that I’m moving the political debate in a positive direction.

I defy you to name any opposition leader in any jurisdiction in

Canada who has been as specifi c on taxation as I have 18 months before an election. You’re going to see our detailed program in advance of the election.

At the NDP convention I spoke at length about the key issues of our time, about the things that I’m campaigning for right now,

including improving skills training in our province, addressing issues of inequality, addressing the fact that raw log exports are out of control in the province.

I get criticized on some days for being too specifi c and too policy-oriented, so I’m delighted to hear your criticism that I’m not specifi c enough.

TF: Th e B.C. Liberals leapt on your recent statement about potentially increasing income taxes for high earners. Th is sounds like [federal NDP leadership candidate] Brian Topp’s suggestion of a new top tax bracket. Is that what you were saying?

AD: On personal income taxes, I think because the B.C. Liberal Party has continually increased costs on middle class people, for example, shift ing the hydro burden onto residential customers, and subsidizing industrial customers. Th ey’re raising MSP premiums,

raising ferry fares, raising long-term care fees, they have specifi cally gone aft er the middle class. I don’t think there’s really personal tax room there for middle-income people. Th at’s my view and my position.

TF: So does that mean increasing taxes for higher income people?

AD: No. I think what you have to do is fi rst of all look at the fi scal situation closer to the election and be clear about that.

• • •Th e interview also touched on the

NDP teaming up with Bill Vander Zalm, and the future of socialism. You can fi nd the full text on this newspaper’s website by pointing to the Opinion tab and clicking on B.C. Opinions.

A year ofcelebrations

Another year has passed, and to celebrate we've compiled a few of the most noteworthy stories that have transpired.

Th ere were historic moments, such as the coming together of the surrounding First Nation bands and the District of Kent.

Th ere were celebrations, too many to include them all.

Of note though, was the re-opening of renovated Harrison Memorial Hall, and its re-dedication to local war veterans this Remembrance Day.

Th ere were birthdays to be had, as well. Th e District of Kent's Fitness Activity Centre turned 10 years old. Th e Agassiz-Harrison Museum celebrated its 25th year, and the Agassiz Research Station celebrated an impressive 125 years of discoveries.

Th ere were heroes, from all walks of life. But the biggest heroes of the year have to be this area's youngest residents. Th ere were children selling cookies, cupcakes, Halloween candy and more, all for the sake of others.

Provincially, the HST was defeated, but smart meters were not.

Closer to home — and our hearts — we lost Betty Fox. But we gained Lilee-Jean, whose non-stop, beaming smile has inspired countless donations to BC Children's Hospital (see story front page).

We saw threats of change, with Abbotsford attempting to leave the regional district. And we also saw actual at the municipal level, all across the Fraser Valley.

Th ose changes point to a possible shift in local politics over the next three years, as the newly-elected councils across the region fi nd their feet and attempt to hold their ground.

We hope you follow along with us in 2012, and as always, engage in conversations about what's happening in your community, either online or through more conventional means.

Fox legacy continues in hearts and minds of runnersJessica PetersTHE OBSERVER

Th e country mourned the loss of Betty Fox this June, who had become a Canadian icon, and champion for her son Terry’s cause.

Th e mother-son leg-acy lived on this year, in the hearts and mind of those who took part in the annual Terry Fox Run. In Hope, the number of participants doubled from last year’s run, from 20 to 40. In total, the run there raised $1,200.

For some, it was a sign that the run will contin-ue to be a success.

New to the race was six-year-old Katerina Fisher, who ran the fi rst half of the race with her mom Tasha Enns and the second half with her grandmother, Judy

Enns. Katerina said she

recently watched the movie about Terry Fox, and was inspired to run

this year. But it’s likely she was

also inspired by her mother, who has never missed a run.

“I run every year inHope,” Enns said. “Ter-ry Fox is my hero and if he could do it, I cando it.”

2011 YEAR IN REVIEW2011 was another tough business year for our region. Financial turmoil around the world had its impact on the BC economy particularly in consumer confi dence.

For tourism the result was a very competitive market place with local visitors looking for (and getting) lower rates. Fewer US and European visitors came to BC and Harrison Hot Springs.

For the Chamber membership, it remained at and slightly above 100 for the entire year.

At the beginning of 2011 the Chamber Directors set a number of goals, including:

• To have an informative Chamber Page each month in the Agassiz Harrison Hope Observer • Maintain a monthly presence in the Fraser Valley Business Paper. • Support or organize a number of regional events • Hold a 2nd Business Excellence Awards event • Organize a couple of social media workshops

Happily all of these goals were achieved to one extent or another.

Looking back over 2011 the things that stand out include:

• In January the Chamber held a joint open house with Harrison Tourism Society to offi cially welcome a new andimproved Memorial Hall back into our lives.

• In February the Chamber held the second Business Excellence Awards - it was another success, with a goodturnout and great support from the business community. Based on feedback during the event the Directors have decided to make this a biannual event.

• Th roughout the year we maintained a presence in the Fraser Valley Business paper and for most of the year ran a Chamber page in the Observer.

• In May we held a Social Media workshop lead by Th ink Media. It was a great success with 49 members inattendance.

• For Canada Day the Chamber contributed $500 to both of the communities of Harrison and Agassiz for theircelebrations.

• In September the Chamber together with Tourism Harrison sponsored the inaugural Bands on the Beach onLabour Day, we are hoping to turn this into a two day annual event of country western music with local singer Todd Richard as the headliner.

• In October we co-sponsored a Constant Contact Workshop in Mission with three other regional Chambers. • Finally in November we hosted an All Candidate’s debate in both the Village of Harrison Hot Springs and the

District of Kent. Th ere was a good turnout in both communities although nothing highlights the diff erences between the retiree dominated community of Harrison and the farmer dominated community of Agassiz more clearly than politics.

Looking forward to 2012 the Board of Directors of the Harrison Agassiz Chamber of Commerce plans to build on the success of 2011.

Our goal remains to be the Voice of Business in our area and to create opportunities for businesses and business people to get together and network. We are pleased to welcome a couple of new Agassiz based Directors and hope to see more active involvement from the Agassiz businesses in 2012.

As the year comes to a close, the Harrison Agassiz Chamber of Commerce wishes you a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year.

Here’s where you can recycle them safely and free of charge in Agassiz:

WANT TO RECYCLE YOUR UNWANTED ELECTRONICS?

Agassiz Bottle Depot7659 Industrial Way, Agassiz(604) 796-3653

WHAT IS THE ELECTRONICS STEWARDSHIP ASSOCIATION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (ESABC) PROGRAM?

ESABC is a not-for-profit extended producer responsibility program set up by the producers and retailers of electronics in British Columbia to provide a province wide recycling system for unwanted electronics.

WHAT ARE THE ACCEPTABLE ELECTRONIC ITEMS INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM?

Effective July 1, 2010, the following items can be recycled free of charge at any Encorp Return-It Electronics™ Collection Site: display devices, desktop computers, portable computers, computer peripherals, computer scanners, printers and fax machines, non-cellular phones and answering machines, vehicle audio and video systems (aftermarket), home audio and video systems, and personal or portable audio and video systems.

ISN’T IT IMPORTANT TO REUSE BEFORE RECYCLING?

While the program is designed to manage unwanted electronic products that have exhausted their reuse potential, we strongly encourage users to first reuse their products. If you choose to donate to a charity, make sure you have backed up your data and wiped your drives clean prior to donation.

HOW ARE ELECTRONICS RECYCLED? Electronics collected for recycling are sent to approved primary recyclers in

North America. They are broken down using various manual and mechanical processes. Products are separated into their individual components for recovery. Through a variety of refining and smelting processes, the materials reclaimed from unwanted electronics are used as raw materials in the manufacturing of new products.

Firefighters thank their families Each year, the fi refi ghters of Agassiz gather

to recognize the hard work and dedication of its members. And each year, the fi refi ghters profusely thank their families for “putting up with” the demands of the job.

Th is year was no diff erent, when fi refi ghter

Wayne Ball received his 20 year recognition award. Offi cially, that award is the Governor General of Canada Fire Services Exemplary Service Medal In Recognition of 20 Years of Loyal Exemplary Service to Public Security in Canada. Ball served 11 years in Sooke, and

nine in Agassiz, and has no plans to quit hiscurrent role.

He delivered his speech to much ribbing and laughter, but also applause for a job welldone. Like many members of the department, he thanked his wife for being supportive.

Year in ReviewWayne Ball

gives a speech to guests of

the annual Fire Hall Awards

Banquet.

OBSERVER FILE PHOTO

OBSERVER FILE PHOTO

A whopping 14 municipal election candidates took the stage in Harrison Hot Springs this November, to field questions from the voting public. They voted to almost entirely change council, with the exception of Councillor Allan Jackson, who maintained his seat. New mayors were elected in Harrison (Leo Facio) the District of Kent (John Van Laerhoven) and Hope (Susan Johnston).

Changing hands

When Harrison Hot Springs Fire Chief

Don Labossiere read the Observer’s

December 2 story about Hannah

Donnelly, he just had to give her a call. Donnelly, 6, has created hair clips and fridge

magnets out of but-tons, and is send-ing all the money

she’s raised to help feed Somalians.

Labossiere served in Somalia a few

years ago, and had brought back a few

keepsakes, which he offered to her. He

also passed along a cheque from the fire department to help

the cause. To see her work, visit www.

byhannah.org.

Ken Green takes a break from operating the Hell’s Gate Air Tram to drop a 80 lb pumpkin out the window. Pumpkins make the 500 ft. drop each year, on the last day of the season at Hell’s Gate. This pumpkin, which was 100 pounds before gutting, was grown and donated by Steven Rice of Secret Gardens in Spences Bridge. This is the fourth year for the annual pumpkin drop.

The Agassiz ❖ Harrison ❖ Hope

Friday, December 30, 2011, Agassiz Harrison Observer 15

Cloudworks Energy Inc. (Proponent) is proposing to construct and operate three waterpower projects on Tretheway Creek, Shovel Creek and Big Silver Creek in the vicinity of Harrison Lake, BC (proposed Projects). The three proposed Projects would generate approximately 72 megawatts (MW) of energy combined (23, 13 and 36 MW, respectively). The proposed Projects are subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. The Proponent has now submitted its application (Application) to obtain an environmental assessment certifi cate which is required before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Projects. In order to provide information to the public about the Application, and to receive comments from the public, the Environmental Assessment Offi ce of British Columbia (EAO) invites the public to attend an Open House to be held: at: Evergreen Hall, Cheam Room

9291 Corbould St, Chilliwack BC on: Thursday, January 19, 2012 from: 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.At 7:00 p.m. there will be a presentation by the EAO on the process with an opportunity to ask questions about the process. A second presentation will also be given by the Proponent in relation to the proposed Projects.If you are unable to attend the Open House, you may still wish to make a written submission. There are 30 days for the submission of comments by the public in relation to the Application. The comment period will begin on January 11, 2012 and end on February 9, 2012. All comments received during this comment period will be considered.

The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the proposed Projects are identifi ed for consideration as part of the assessment process.

The EAO accepts public comments through the following ways:

• By Online Form at www.eao.gov.bc.ca

• By Mail: Trish BalcaenA/Project Assessment DirectorEnvironmental Assessment Offi cePO Box 9426 Stn Prov GovtVictoria BC V8W 9V1

• By Fax: Fax: 250-356-6448

An electronic copy of the Application and information regarding the environmental assessment process are available at www.eao.gov.bc.ca.

Copies of the Application are also available for viewing at these locations:

Agassiz Library: 7140 Cheam, Agassiz BC

Chilliwack Library: 45860 First Avenue, Chilliwack BC

The Proponent has requested that the water licence and land tenure applications associated with the three proposed Projects be considered under other enactments concurrently with the continuing assessment of these reviewable projects under the Act. These applications are also available on the EAO’s website at www.eao.gov.bc.ca and at the above locations. Comments on these may also be submitted to the EAO during the comment period as described above.

NOTE: All submissions received by the EAO during the comment period in relation to the proposed Projects are considered public and will be posted to the EAO website.
