THE OFFICIAL 2012 HARRISON HOT SPRINGS VISITOR GUIDE For your copy stop by The Observer or Tourism Harrison.

A handful of Agassiz students kicked off their school year at full throttle.

Even though classes only started last Tuesday, the drag racing team at Agassiz elementar y-secondar y school was already back in the driver seat by Friday.

They gathered in the morning to load up their car — a black 1982 Camaro Z28. Their plan? To check in at Mission Raceway, do a few trials, and race in the High School class.

It’s a special class with rules to keep the kids safe, while offering all the excitement of drag racing.

At the wheel was Jesse Brewer, 17, a first time race car driver who just earned his ‘N’ license over the summer. While he said he wasn’t nervous to be out on the raceway for the first time, he did get up just a bit earlier that day.

Unfortunately, said teacher Tyler Yost, there wasn’t enough staff at Mission last Friday to allow the High School class races to run, so they focused on testing and tuning the car instead.

“Things went really well for us at the track,” he said.

“No mechanical problems and Jesse’s track times were very consistent.”

AESS has been racing their Camaro since February, previously with now-graduated driver Aleisha Elsworth. The program wouldn’t be possible without support from the community, Yost said, racing and otherwise.

The car itself was

donated by Rick Pearson, who was towing the car for the team on Friday. Other sponsors of the program are Fortin’s Automotive, James Johnson Ent., Lordco Agassiz, Remax Agassiz, Modern Tire, the Agassiz Shoppers Drug Mart, Mackenzie Racing, the Hatt family, Black Dawg Welding and UFV’s auto body program.

The strong support for the team is proof that the program makes a difference

in the students’ education.

Each student has a job to do at the track, as part of the pit crew. They’ll run three to four races on a regular race day, if the driver is consistent enough.

“The main thing is, most kids are into cars at their age,” Pearson said. “And if they’re into fast cars it’s better to do their racing at the track, not the street.”

It teaches them respect for the vehicle, said Pearson and Yost, along with the

safety aspects.

On the quarter mile drag strip, the High School class drivers aren’t allowed to go faster than a 12 second race, and most stock cars can’t race that fast anyway.

There is also a handicap system in place, allowing any car access to the race program. That eliminates the need for a fancy budget for a high school program to keep operating, he said.

“You could go down there with your mom’s car,”

Yost said. “What it comes down to is driver ability.”

But the kids at AESS will stick to their modified Camaro. he High School class is a recognized National Hot Rod Assocation (NHRA) and International Hot Rod Assocation (IHRA) Elapsed Time (ET) or Bracket Style drag racing class.

Arrested for assault

Three men have been charged with assault causing bodily harm, following an incident behind Coopers Foods in Hope over the weekend.

Hope RCMP arrived on scene at about 2:15 a.m. Sunday to find a man on the ground and bleeding from the head.

Witnesses told police that a group of three men approached the victim and knocked him to the ground and began assaulting him. The victim was taken to Fraser Canyon Hospital to

be treated for head injuries.

The three suspects, two age 19 and one age 21, were located in a Hope residence with the use of a search warrant. They are all from the Hope area, and were released on conditions until their next court appearance in Chilliwack, currently set for Oct. 16.

“Police were able to gather information and evidence quickly in this case and make the necessary arrests,” said Cst. Tracy Wolbeck.

The man injured in the attack has been released from the hospital.

Arrest made in assault

RCMP have charged a Harrison Mills man with assault with a weapon, following a late night incident up Sts’ailes Forest Service Road near Agassiz.

A woman called police for help with a situation at about 2 a.m. on Sept. 8. When police arrived, they found her seriously injured.

She was transported to hospital, and Agassiz RCMP

began “an exhaustive search” for the suspect with the help of the Lower Mainland District Emergency Response Team, the Lower Mainland Integrated Dog Services and Air Services.

A vehicle was found in the same area, thought to be owned by the suspect, who is known to the victim.

The suspect, who is already known to police, was arrested at

about 1 a.m. on Sept. 9, without incident.

“These types of calls are very high risk for all the members involved,” said Cst. Tracy Wolbeck. “The coordinated effort of all involved contributed to the suspect being arrested peacefully.”

John Shaw, 37, was to appear in court on Sept. 12. news@ahobserver.com

Man looking for answers to ‘mystery egg’

Jessica Peters The Observer

Mortier George has been keeping chickens on his property for years now. Like many other hobby farmers, he collects the eggs and enjoys them for all their farm-fresh goodness.

And like many others, he will often use a real egg to create a “fake egg.” To do that, he would carefully open the bottom of the egg, blow out the insides, stuff it with fabric or some other medium, and place it in the box where he likes the chicken to lay eggs.

But the last time he set out to do this delicate procedure, he found something amiss.

Inside the large egg, was another egg — complete with its

Mortier George was intending to blow out and stuff this egg, as a fake for his chicken coop. But when he blew out the yoke, he discovered another smaller egg inside.

own hard shell.

In all his years, George has never seen such a thing. So, he set out on the internet in

search of an answer.

There was one video, he said, but it was hard to tell if it was a hoax.

Now, he’s wondering

how uncommon it is to find a full egg inside another one.

“I’m not an expert,” he said. “But I thought it was funny.”

While there are a handful of newspaper stories online about people finding eggs inside eggs, in places all over the world.

Most stories offer no explanation.

However, a few websites offer the explanation that the very rare ‘egg within an egg’ or ‘double shell egg’ happens when an egg that is almost ready to be laid reverses direction and gets covered with a new layer of albumen.

George said he’ll probably send his egg to a university or the research station. news@ahobserver.com

Who are you running for?

After 31 years and millions of dollars raised, you might think the Terry Fox Run would have run out of steam.

In fact, the flame that Port Coquitlam hero Terry Fox lit more than 30 years ago with his ill-fated national run burns just as brightly, thanks to the continued commitment of volunteers, schools and run supporters from all over the world.

It would be easy to give the Terry Fox Run a pass on Sunday. It might rain.

Other things will compete for your time.

Maybe you’re not as inspired as you once were.

Further, with Betty Fox’s passing, fewer Fox family members are able to rally the troops.

But then there is this: Everyone is touched by cancer and research saves lives. Although two out of five Canadians is expected to develop cancer, only one of every four Canadians will die. Cancer is the leading cause of premature death and funds raised by the Terry Fox Foundation goes to important research that will reduce those statistics.

There is also this: More than a million

Opinion QUESTION OF THE WEEK

people who don’t even live in Terry’s home nation will run to support the foundation in the coming days. That includes Major Art Brown and his team from Camp KAIA-N based at the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan and Camp Eggers at the International Security Assistance Force compound, also in Afghanistan. The men and women of these military commands risk their lives every day but are willing to put aside some of their precious leisure time to run for Terry.

If they can do it, so can we.

This weekend, take some time and join in one of our local runs. There are runs in Hope and in Harrison Hot Springs, open to everyone.

Taking part – running, walking, cycling, inline skating – is a way of honouring our hometown hero while also endeavouring to put an end to a disease that strikes so many people, many of them, like Terry, simply too young to die.

B.C. municipalities tackle modern problems

B.C. Views

Tom Fletcher Local politicians are preparing for their annual convention, to be held Sept. 25-28 here in the provincial capital.

One of the first orders of business this year will be a vote to raise the dues paid by local governments to the Union of B.C. Municipalities, to cover rising travel costs for staff to serve on provincial committees. The plan is also to change the name to Union of B.C. Local Governments, to reflect the participation of regional districts and aboriginal communities.

So what do these committees and conferences accomplish? The UBCLG, as it will soon be known, is mainly a lobby group for local politicians to seek changes to federal and provincial laws to keep

up with changing times.

The resolutions offer a snapshot of modern problems facing local governments. A major theme is public safety, and this year it is the Columbia Shuswap Regional District renewing a long-standing plea for more provincial policing money for rural communities.

Surrey has a resolution seeking better notice and control of a growing number of medical marijuana licences issued by Ottawa. Local fire and police departments end up dealing with licensed grow-ops that spring up quietly and create electrical hazards, or expand production beyond their licences as this stealth legalization continues.

Pitt Meadows, home to a Hells Angels clubhouse and drugrelated crime familiar to most urban communities, wants B.C. to follow Alberta’s lead and give police authority to remove known gang members from bars and clubs. Gangs tend to adopt certain

Ashcroft councillors want to give emergency services authority to deal with another modern hazard: hoarding. Yes folks, it’s more than just a show on TV that exposes a creepy side effect of our bloated North American consumer culture. The Ashcroft resolution notes that obsessively piling stuff to the rafters is a growing problem.

And as with marijuana grow ops, “local governments have little or no authority to enforce compliance with health and safety standards when a building is owner occupied.”

Another First World problem is the “pocket dialing” of 9-1-1 by mobile phones. This is more than just a nuisance, because local emergency services are obliged to respond to every call they get. And mobile phones can’t be traced to their location with any precision,

creating time-consuming searches that weaken response to real emergencies.

Other resolutions tackle complex and important issues, such as the effect of hydro development on municipal water supplies. But alas, most will be lost in the convention noise, overshadowed by political posturing over matters best left alone.

Last year’s convention featured the low comedy of delegates voting with wireless devices to condemn smart meters, after displaying their ignorance of the subject.

This year, in addition to factually challenged railing about oil tankers, there will be a tough stance taken against shark’s fin soup, which will no doubt strike fear into the Chinese fishing fleet.

Once delegates vote themselves more taxpayers’ money to run this show, perhaps they should keep their grandstanding to a minimum. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Mailbag Benefits to Chamber Tim Flanigan’s recent letter regarding tourism in Harrison Hot Springs made a number of observations and suggestions, concluding that a lack of events is the problem and more events the solution. The reality is always more complex and the fact is that tourism is down this year across the province and Harrison Hot Springs is no exception. There are many reasons for this, including a slow economy discouraging spending and a high Canadian dollar keeping US and European visitors away, while at the same time encouraging Canadians to travel to the US and abroad. There is no question that it is a tough market out there making it a struggle for tourist dependent businesses.

Events are definitely one of the tools we can use to bring people to Harrison and both the Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Harrison have been working hard to do just that. Last year the Chamber started Bands on the Beach which is now an annual two day event bringing thousands to Harrison. Earlier this

year Tourism Harrison together with the Harrison Festival Society helped to re-establish Sasquatch Days which was a great success and will become an annual event.

Tourism Harrison last year started a Bald Eagle Photo Festival in November that will grow this year and has spent the last two months working on creating a Beer Festival. This is no small undertaking but now with 15 craft breweries signed up we are pleased to announce a Beer Festival and Oktoberfest dance will take place in Harrison on October 26 and 27. To learn more go to www.harrisonbeerfest.com.

Events take a lot of planning, hard work and money. I would suggest to Mr. Flanigan that it’s great to have ideas but if he really wants to help improve tourism in Harrison Hot Springs he should join the Chamber and work with the other business owners that volunteer their time to help make Harrison a more appealing tourist destination.

Tourism under attack

Tim Flanagan is correct in bemoaning the death of Harrison’s once-growing tourism industry but wrong about the cause. With 27 years on the front line, (compared to his nine), and 36 years continuously in Harrison, I can offer a deeper perspective.

We, the small businesses in Harrison , (who are not part of council’s elite inner circle), are suffering from recent councils composed mostly of retired bank clerks and bus drivers. They seem determined to turn our once-vibrant destination resort into a sleepy retirement backwater.

Instead of focusing on overnight visitors ( who spend lots of money on accommodation , meals and shopping) , they have spent hundreds of thousands on creating a cheap daytrippers’ paradise along the beachfront.

Instead of preserving our only natural asset, (the terrific view up Harrison Lake), they encourage its destruction with visible clear cuts, an ugly rock breakwater and a floating eyesore in front of the Hotel.

Instead of protecting the land base necessary for tourism growth, they violate the OCP by imposing view-blocking residential condos in the heart of the business district.

Instead of preserving our parkland and woodlands, (which city people come here to enjoy), they advocate clear cutting the beautiful, old-growth woods for condos.

Instead of supporting our shoulder-season events,

(such as the world championships of sand sculpture), they cram more events into July and August when we are already at capacity. They then claim credit for the big turn-out of visitors who were here, anyway.

Instead of encouraging water sports such as windsurfing, they have spent over $200,000 destroying the only viable launch site by building a completely unnecessary breakwater and wind break.

I could go on, but my point is that Harrison’s small business community is under attack and is suffering from the systematic destruction of its only industry, tourism.

This will not change until voters realize that the decline of tourism is actually driving up their taxes and driving down their property values and they vote to return seasoned business people (rather than populist philosophers) to the leadership of the community. It will take years to repair the damage now being done.

Designate a driver this weekend, say RCMP

The Agassiz RCMP is preparing for the Fall Fair by stepping up enforcement this weekend.

Sgt. Stuart Falebrinza said that impaired driving infractions will be “strictly enforced” and encourage party

goers to designate a sober driver.

“As everybody is well aware the Agassiz Fall Fair is fast approaching,”

he said. “The traffic volume will be increased throughout the Agassiz area and motorists are asked to leave a

few minutes early and show courtesy to fellow motorists.”

Thefts in Agassiz

There were a number of petty, and even failed attempts at, theft over the last week.

On Sept. 4, the

Agassiz RCMP attended a residence in the 50000 block of Yale Road East.

The intruders broke into a detached workshop, but were startled when they discovered the workshop was alarmed.

The intruders were scared away without stealing anything.

The following day, Agassiz RCMP received a complaint of a theft from a motor vehicle that was parked on Lillooet Avenue in Harrison. The vehicle was left unlocked, and the items stolen were not of high value.

That same day, police responded to a break and enter in the 2000 block of Lougheed Highway. The residential building was vacant. It appears the suspect removed some aluminum wiring.

On Sept. 9, a theft occurred from a hotel conference room in Harrison. There were numerous items stolen, including a MacBook, iPhone, gift cards for various retailers and a wallet.

Wedding guest loses eye

FOR RECYCLING YOUR MILK CARTONS

On Sept. 4, Agassiz RCMP were notified of an assault that occurred on Aug. 25 at a wedding.

Due to the assault, the victim underwent surgery resulting in the loss of an eye.

The investigation is ongoing, and Sgt. Falebrinza would like to remind licensed establishments that over-serving patrons is against the law and can result in charges against the person who holds the liquor licence, as well as those who are intoxicated.

Flying debris Recycling your milk containers is easy. Simply give them a quick rinse and bring them with your bottles and cans on your next Return-It Depot trip. There’s no refund because you didn’t pay a deposit when you bought the milk. Last year Return-It collected over 630,000 kg of milk containers for recycling and kept them out of landfills. Help us recycle even more.

For more information and to find a participating Return-It Depot nearest you: return-it.ca/milk or call 1-800-330-9767

On Sept. 4, the Agassiz RCMP received a report of damage to a vehicle by flying debris on Highway 1 near Bridal Falls. The damage was minor and the owner of the damaged vehicle will be contacting his insurance company.

The Agassiz RCMP would like to remind everyone to ensure their load has been secured prior to traveling.

Failure to do so can result in a serious motor vehicle accident.

Music therapists offer bedside service Children not only patients to benefit from music

Jessica Peters The Observer

When 20-year-old Megan McNeil recorded her song The Will to Survive, she left a legacy for her friends and family to enjoy. In fact, she’s left a legacy that the entire world can enjoy, due to success of the single online.

And part of that legacy is thanks to music therapy programs, which work with children who are in treatment at BC Children’s Hospital.

But that’s just one of the many good things that come from music therapy, says Susan Summers.

She’s a music therapist, a teacher at Capilano Universtiry, and the president of the Music Therapy Association of B.C. Summers was also a special guest at the Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa when the Music Therapy Ride rolled into town on Sunday.

Music therapy can be a life saver, she said, and therapists in the field are fully armed with an impressive 15-plus years of education.

One of Summers’ patients was an elderly woman who had suffered a stroke in the left side of her brain — the side that affects language.

“But music is in the whole brain,” she told the crowd of about 175

bikers, musicians and media types.

All her patient could manage to say was “da da da da da,” she explained. And judging by her age, she chose the Beatles song Let it Be. She began singing it to her, and by the time she was into the third line, the patient was singing right alongside Summers.

It was a touching story, to end a day of entertainment that included a visit from Shannon Tweed and her children Sophie and Nick Simmons.

Also among the crowd was Jackson Davies, who many people will remember from his role as John Constable in The Beachcombers.

Davies has ridden in all 11 of the Music Therapy Rides, which normally travels from Vancouver to Whistler.

The ride will help pay for mobile recording units that can travel bed to bed at BC Childrens Hospital, allowing them to record music and receive therapy. Tens of thousands of dollars was raised through an auction, which included items such a guitars signed by Feist, Tragically Hip and City and Colour.

The day was topped off with a performance by 54-40, who played acoustic versions of about five of their most popular songs,

including Ocean Pearl, I Go Blind and Lies to Me. news@ahobserver.com

Hemlock hosts downhill championship

SUBMITTED PHOTO

A rider takes a jump at the BC Downhill Championships.

Some call it fun, some a challenge and some just think the riders are crazy.

The weather was perfect for the BC Downhill Championship Race on Labour Day weekend.

Saturday was orientation and practice day for the competitors and practice is what they needed. The course was steep, winding and loose; even just to walk it was a challenge. One problem, dust. It was deep and loose in a number of the corners making navigating around them very technical.

Spectators could watch just about the whole course from the day lodge, and you could see where the competitors were by following the dust trail they produced on their way down the course.

Throughout the day there were multiple crashes but the riders would pick themselves up and carry on. A few unfortunate bikes did not fare as well as the riders, and had to be walked or carried off the hill. The vertical drop from the top of the course to the bottom was almost 305 meters (1000’) with the actual course

During the competition on Sunday the times started off around three and a half minutes and reduced throughout the competition to around the two-minute, twenty-one second range. Competitors came from B.C., Alberta and Washington State so along with Provincial and International competitions there were several sibling rivalries as well with brother competing against brother.

CX-5 RAISES THE BAR

The story of the 2013 Mazda CX-5 began in 2005 when Mazda began mapping out its long-term strategy in a post-Ford world. This is how the car business works. What you see in showrooms today was conceived long ago.

SkyActiv, the buzzword Mazda is using to describe the company’s comprehensive take on improving fuel economy and reducing emissions in vehicles that remain fun to drive, is all about “wiping the slate clean,” says Mazda senior engineer Dave Coleman, the self-described Director of Technobabble. “No more parts-bin engineering,” he adds.

By that he means this: The CX-5 and all that comes next from Mazda represent what you might call a holistic approach to vehicle development. Everything you will see from Mazda going forward, from the powertrains to the platforms, from the designs to engineering top to bottom – all if it is about “squeezing maximum efficiency from existing technologies.”

Yeah, but why should you care?

You’re not a technogeek. But if you’re like 300,000 other Canadians or so, you will be buying a compact SUV of some sort this year or next year or the year after, each and every year. Canadians love their

CROSSOVER EMPHASIZES SPORTINESS OVER UTILITY, WITH SKYACTIV PROCESS PROVIDING THE PERFORMANCE BOOST compact SUVs; sales here account for 17 per cent of the entire new-vehicle market and just in the last two years have doubled.

So you are very likely to want something along the lines of a Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson, Ford Escape, Chevrolet Equinox, Kia Sportage, Toyota RAV4 and Nissan Rogue. If you are a Mazda owner, you will likely be moving up from a Mazda3, although Mazda wants you if you are a former Honda Civic or Ford Focus owner, too.

If that’s you, the base version of the CX-5, the GX with front-wheeldrive, starts at $22,995. The volume model, the GS, lists for $27,895 and the top-of-the-line GT starts at $32,495. All are well equipped, but of course, as you pay more you get more. AWD, for instance, is a $2,000 option on GX and GS models, standard on the GT. Most importantly to Mazda, the CX-5 offers the “best highway fuel economy of any SUV sold in Canada – including hybrids:” 7.8 litres/100 km in the city, 5.7 highway for frontdrive models with the six-speed manual transmission. Front-drivers with the six-speed automatic get 7.7 city/6.1 highway and with AWD and the automatic, 8.0 city/6.4 highway.

Using regular gas across the board.

Mazda, then, is taking aim at the

heart of the new-vehicle market in Canada with a crossover that is very capable, looks sharp and is fun-to-drive. All at an appealing price. If Mazda gets this right, the CX-5 will not be a niche player.

You’re going to see them all over your neighbourhood.

The CX-5 is, for the present, the future of Mazda. It’s Mazda going all in for the first time with SkyActiv fuel-saving technologies.

For instance, there is a new global platform architecture here, and it is 8 per cent lighter and 30 per cent more rigid than the company’s previous small-car architecture.

Most interesting, I think, is that this small-car architecture has yielded a fuel-efficient crossover that not only isn’t a bore to drive, but is almost as big as the current Mazda CX-7. SkyActiv at work.

Speaking of which, the heart of it, really, is Mazda’s new Skyactiv-G direct-injected, 2.0-litre, inlinefour-cylinder gasoline engine.

Director Technobabble had a long and detailed presentation to explain why this engine is so good, so strong, and so efficient and if you must know, the essence of it all is the 13:1 compression ratio using regular gas. Those who care about compression ratios will know that’s a pretty good number for an

everyday car.

If you could not care less, suffice to say the 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque are all there and pretty quickly. This Mazda is no slug. And thanks to some fancy engine plumbing, the power comes on smoothly, without any knocking or hesitation. All very impressive.

Then there’s the new automatic transmission. Delicious. Again, only a geek would care why the shifts are so good (the torque converter is basically on the job only during gear changes) but let me tell you, up-shifts are smooth and downshifts are rev-matched. They are seriously snappy, too. As is the overall handling of the CX-5.

Meanwhile, the exterior design is an eye-grabber and the cabin is roomy, intelligently useful and airy.

Outward visibility is exceptional, rear-seat room is good for adults and the big cargo area expands thanks to near-flat folding rear seatback.

As family haulers go, the CX-5 looks like a winner. No, that’s damning with faint praise. Mazda, in fact, has just thrown down the gauntlet in this segment. The competition should start tearing down CX-5s ASAP.

Kent takes next step in gymnasium project

Still room for more members on fundraising committee Jessica Peters The ObServer

Fundraising for new gymnasium and multipurpose rooms in Agassiz can begin in earnest now, after council approved a special committee Monday night.

The new spaces are the next phase of the Kent Leisure/ Activity Centre, and while some of the building costs will be covered by a government grant, the District is responsible for a portion of them.

The Fundraising Select Committee for the Active Living Gymnasium and Multi-purpose will include Robert Stam, Tracey Paul, Bev Kennedy, Susan Spaeti, Mal Shepard and Wendy Colman. It will be chaired by Kent Mayor John van Laerhoven, with Councillor Holger Schwichtenberg as alternate chair.

The committee was

to be made up of eight members at large, and council said they will consider up to two more community members, if they were to show interest in the future.

Kent District staff liaisons for the committee are Wallace Mah, CAO, and Kerry Hilts, director of community services.

The role of the committee is to help the district oversee fundraising strategies for the proposed gym, consult with council, assist with championing the project, prioritize needs and put forward forward recommendations and to find opportunities, individuals and corporate sponsors for the

project.

Kent received a Community Recreational Grant for $750,000 from the province in March this year. That is 60 per cent of the proposed $1.1 million project.

The district had applied for up to 80 per cent of the project.

Many groups within the community supported the proposal, including Fraser Health, School District 78, Community Services, Youth Inclusion Partnership, Seabird Island Band and Agassiz Harrison Healthy Communities.

The current Fitness/ Activity Centre is being used to capacity and the needs of the community have grown to require more recreational space, council was told previously. The new gymnasium is hoped to fill those needs. news@ahobserver.com

Post makes correction to minutes

Jessica Peters The ObServer

Minutes of the August 20 Kent council meeting had to be changed slightly, due to a misunderstanding of one councillor's opposition.

When council voted on the Ashton Road reconstruction that is scheduled to take place, Councillor Duane Post was recorded in the minutes as opposing the project.

However, during Monday's meeting Councillor Holger Schwichtenberg said he didn't recall Post voting against the project.

"I don't remember me voting against it, either," Post replied. "I'm not

opposed to the paving of it, I'm only opposed to the scope of the work that needs to be done. I don't think it needs to be so extensive."

The project will take about six weeks to complete, and will include a full reconstruction of the road due to extensive surface cracking and pavement patching.

Council concerned with prison property Following a report

by Councillor Darcy Striker outlining a recent meeting with Kent Institution, several other members

of council expressed concern about the prison-owned fields that are becoming tall with dry grass, and becoming a potential fire hazard. The fields are actually owned by Mountain Institution.

Kent has also requested "a reassessment of the true value of (the prisons') assets," said Mayor van Laerhoven, "so we will get a fairer grant-in-

lieu."

While the federallyowned prisons don't pay taxes, the District receives a grant back from the government to help cover the costs that are drawn from having a prison in the area.

"I think they're getting a deal right now but I guess they get to decide what that deal is exactly," Van Laerhoven said. news@ahobserver.com

The Agassiz Fall Fair kicks off tonight, with live music, bingo and more at the fairgrounds. But tonight's activities are really just a small taste of what's on tap at the Agassiz Fall Fair and Corn Festival tomorrow.

For many, the highlight of the fair is taking in the 4H competitions, featuring many local youth and their projects along with visiting 4H clubs. These kids work throughout the year to make sure their animals are in tip top shape, and the Agassiz Fall Fair is the final competition for their scrapbooks each year.

The judges are always watching, and just stopping by to chat with these young people gives them a chance to brush up on their knowledge of their skill and their public speaking.

As a bonus, you'll probably learn a little about farm animals, too.

Each year, Sparkes Corn Barn donates thousands of ears of fresh corn on the cob, and that will be cooked up throughout the day on Saturday, along with a few other tasty barbecued items for sale.

With a full belly, you can take a few minutes to look over the entries in the Agricultural Hall. Some of the area's best crafters and artists submit their top notch knitting, scrapbooking, photography, baked items and more.

Other highlights include a full lineup of entertainment, including the crowning of the Corn King or Queen, and a special, interactive performance by comedic hypnotist Lee Dyson, and a special concert by Treble Hook in the beer gardens on Saturday night.

For a full list of activities and entertainment, see our listings on the following page.

Free parking and shuttle Parking is free, however this year the Fair Board is once again offering free shuttle service. The shuttle will run from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., making a loop from Agassiz Christian Reformed Church, to St. Anthony's Catholic Church, to the Agassiz United Church and then the fair.

See the map below for a guide to the shuttle pick up and drop off areas.

Admission to Agricultural Hall is $2.50 Admission to fairgrounds is $8 for adults, $3 for children six to 11 and free for children under six.

Free Shuttle to Agassiz Fairgrounds Saturday, September 15

In order to convince more locals to find out how good it feels to spend time singing, the community’s choir is issuing an invitation to join them on in their next meeting.

And they’re making a few changes to help reflect their group.

“Since so many of our members are from Agassiz, we have changed the name to The HarrisonKent Community Singers,” said Carol Hepnar.

They also are planning to alternate practices monthly between Kent elementary school and the HHS Memorial Hall.

“We encourage those from the Kent area as well as Harrison to drop by, listen in, sing if you choose to and share some refreshments with us,” she said. “This will be a very casual evening and you can feel free to come and go.”

She also reminds that people from Harrison Mills are welcome to join in. And it’s also not important to have “terrific” voices, she added.

“There are no auditions, other than our Director, Brenda DiRezze and our pianist, Beccie Bokenfohr.

Those two ladies can help singers decide whether their voice wants to be a bass, tenor, alto or soprano.

“Brenda and Becci also choose very interesting music for us ranging from Canadian folk songs to Broadway musicals and lots in between. Sometimes we might sing in another language just for the fun of it,” Hepnar said.

The next meeting is on Monday, Sept. 17, at 7 p.m., at Harrison Memorial Hall.

Arts

Letting the light shine through

The Ranger Station Art Gallery is literally being lit up by this month’s feature artist, Sylvie Roussel-Janssens.

The Chilliwack-based artist works with light and fabric to create illuminated sculptures, often with striking results.

“I have a diverse art practice that ranges from sculptural installations to window panels and light boxes,” she said, and is always in the constant pursuit of light and its magic.

Rouss el-Janss ens assembles, pierces, cuts, welds and sews a variety of materials together to get the effects she is looking for. Her current show, The Active Landscape, incorporates bits of topographical maps in a landscape scene.

It’s a technique she’s developed “mostly by accident” and in addition to showing her creations this month, she’s passing on her knowledge through a local workshop.

“This is a fabric burning workshop,” she said, in which the participants will be making small flags using two different techniques.

First, they will learn how to burn through fabric to create a desired effect, and then they’ll learn about thermoadhesive collaging. The workshop begins at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 22 at the Ranger Station Art Gallery.

It’s open to anyone, of any age, however children will need to be supervised by an adult.

The public will have a chance to meet RousselJanssens before then, at the artist’s reception for her show at the Ranger Station. That will be held this Sunday, Sept. 16, starting at 2 p.m.

She is looking forward to showing her work in Harrison Hot Springs (on display Sept. 7-30) because of the relation to the landscape.

“It is very fitting to show them in Harrison as you could see some similar scenes on the lake or the mountains at any moment,” she said.

“I hope to expand the Active Landscape series this year with the use of different kind of maps and landscapes.”

Born in Montreal, Roussel-Janssens has lived in B.C. since 1980.

She graduated with

honours from Emily Carr College of Art in 1984, specializing in sculpture. She shows frequently and obtained a Canada Art Council in

2001 for an amphibian sculptural installation project about the now disappeared Fraser valley tidal lake.

recipe of the week

Garlic Cheddar Chicken Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter 4 cloves garlic, minced • 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese • 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese • 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper • 1/8 teaspoon salt • 8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded thin • •

Onos Garlic & Flowers This year, Onos Garlic and Flowers, otherwise known as “Tulips of the Valley” (and recognized for its April tulip festival and winter flower stand on Tranmer Road) has decided to add another bulb to its repertoire, Garlic. With both the land and the equipment available, it only makes sense to grow this edible and very healthy bulb for local distribution.

As a family, we have often been frustrated having to buy imported garlic in the winter and spring months, therefore we thought that we would give growing it ourselves it a try. We offer a high quality product at an affordable price for local consumers. This year we are selling a Russian Hardneck Garlic called Garvek. We are hoping that next year we will have a couple of other softneck varieties available for sale.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, and cook the garlic until tender, about 5 minutes.

In a shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Cheddar cheese, parsley, oregano, pepper, and salt.

Dip each chicken breast in the garlic butter to coat, then press into the bread crumb mixture. Arrange the coated chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Drizzle with any remaining butter and top with any remaining bread crumb mixture.

Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

Our Garlic will be for sale at the Agassiz Farm Fresh Market until the end of this month sold in 1 lb bags for $5/bag. We also sell cut flower bouquets.

“What would influence you to come to the Agassiz’s Farmers Market more often?” send responses to: agassizfarmfreshmarket@gmail.com

The farmers market will be at the Agassiz Fall Fair on Saturday from 11:00 am - 2:00 pm with many of our vendors in participation.

character — seems just like the cat, he just couldn’t stay away.

‘Standing in Another Man’s Grave’ has John Rebus as rebellious as ever. There is the usual friction with all of his relationships, business and personal, but all John wants is the truth.

That seems fair and makes for great reading.

If you liked ‘Tuesdays With Morrie’ by Mitch Albom, you will be glad to know that just out is his newest, ‘The Time Keeper’. The inventor of the world’s first clock is banished to a cave and forced to listen to the voices of all who come to him asking for more time. It is a magical hourglass that gives the time keeper the chance to teach two earthly people the true meaning of time. There is nothing like a modern fable to warm a fall evening.

‘The Secret Keeper’ by Kate Morton, author of the bestselling book, The Forgotten Garden, will be out in October, too. She does a great job of creating a story that has full characters who need their own questions and secrets
