Waste water treatment second to none harrison’s innovative technology makes local plant the envy of municipalities

Jessica Peters The Observer

Travelers come from miles around to lounge on Harrison's sandy shores, marvel at the rugged, west coast views and soak in the healing waters of the hot springs.

But on Friday morning, a sizable crowd gathered for a close-up look at a local amenity that's not in any travel magazine — the waste water treatment plant.

While that doesn't really sound like a crowd pleaser, it turns out that Harrison's waste water is the envy of the

western hemisphere.

Tucked away about a mile down the south shoreline, mostly out of sight from the main beach, the plant is constantly chugging away, cleaning the waste water to near perfection before sending it back out into the watershed.

And it's doing a stellar job, said numerous engineers who toured the plant Friday morning. While the treatment plant has been at that site for decades, and the upgrade was completed this March, Friday was the official red ribbon cutting. The event

The informative tour, led

by Mark Yasinski, water and waste water lead hand for the Village, offered the public an inside look at the new system.

It uses simple yet innovative hollow membrane fibers and UV treatment to remove contaminants from the waste water, before sending it back out into the Harrison River.

The average person uses 450 litres of water a day. And while many municipalities only practice primary and

possibly a secondary filtration of their populations' waste water, Harrison is cleaning its waste water almost entirely.

About 99 per cent of the water flushed down the toilet ends up back in pristine condition and pumped into the Harrison River, where it flows into the Fraser River basin. After the largest particles and debris are removed from the waste water, it is sent through the 128 hollow membrane filters housed at the plant. Only clean water particles are able to pass through those Continued on 2

clean water particles are able to pass through those membranes, leaving bacteria and solids to fall.

Technically, it's called a tertiary "polishing step" called a Membrane BioReactor. But to those who toured the plant on Friday, words like "fascinating", "amazing" and "unbelievable" were better descriptors.

"This is scaled back in size, but not in technology," said MLA John Les. Because of Harrison's smaller population — and ability to build a smaller capacity model — the cost is vastly smaller than a big city could ever dream to afford, he said.

"They're delivering almost pristine water back into the environment," he said, "and that's something that the community should be proud of.

They've really raised the bar in what you can accomplish."

The system is the envy of municipalities across North America, he said. The Association of Professional Engineers and Scientists highlighted the project

"This approach greatly increases the sustainability of the treatment plant due to the decreased complexity, costs, footprint and materials," they wrote.

"This technology has made this plant a model of sustainable sewage treatment that ensures the continued natural beauty of this community."

There were challenges in upgrading the system this time, ranging from space constraints to keeping the entire system operational at all times.

They also had to keep the budget under control. The cost was shared by the federal, provincial and municipal governments.

"The budget was tight and we couldn't go over it," Murillo said.

Much of the budget came from Municipal Rural Infrastructure Funds ($2.7 million).

system is working well.

"We're getting excellent results," said Andres Murillo, project manager with Timbro.

Murillo factored in potential growth in Harrison until 2022, at an estimate of about 5,000 residents. While he noted that that sort of growth isn't likely, the plant would be able to handle an increase if needed.

In addition to the hollow membrane filters, the waste water also passes through a UV filtration system.

"It's amazing the type of clean-up we can get with the membrane and the UV light," Murillo said. The other end product is the solid waste, which is extracted, collected and shipped off for composting.

Jessica Peters The Observer

Harrison Hot Springs has won the Sustainable Development Award at the National Communities in Bloom competition.

The awards were handed out at the annual convention on Oct. 12 and 13, held this year in Edmonton. As a CiB committee member, Councillor Allan Jackson brought the news to council last Monday, along with the award which is now on display at the Village office.

“This is a great committee, you’ll never beat it,” he said. “If you want ambassadors for this Village, well, this group was wonderful ambassadors.”

He also noted the council’s commitment to the Communities in Bloom competition, which allows the Village to compete by providing monetary help.

“I am so proud that this Village has a vision going forward to 2030,” he added.

In addition to the sustainability award, the Village was a finalist in the 1,201 - 3,000 population category of the 2012 National Edition of Communities in Bloom, received a Five Bloom rating and a special mention for the work of the Miami River Streamkeepers.

High marks were given to Harrison for its 20-Year Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (2011-2031), stateof-the-art wastewater treatment plant and the fact that Harrison is the first carbon-neutral local government in BC. Following their evaluation of the community, volunteer judges Lucy Chang and Roger Younker wrote: “The Miami River Streamkeepers are volunteers who work tirelessly to restore the riparian areas on the Miami River. To improve the landscape and protect the riverbank that would aid considerably in the conservation of fish and related fauna, the volunteers planted more than a 1000 shrubs and continue to remove invasive weeds along the Miami greenway. A series of trails along the river that would not intrude into the riparian area are being established for the benefits of generations to come.”

Jackson also gave special thanks to Frank Peters, local franchisee for Rocky Mountain Chocolates. Peters gave the committee chocolates to hand out at their booth this year.

The committee includes Jackson, Maureen Wendt, Jane Kivett and Heather Coxon.

cons of the business’ current situation, the District of Kent council decided to table the issue. They made that motion to table based two main issues: the absence of Councillor Holger Schwichtenberg, and the current home occupation bylaw, which is under review.

Staff recommended that council disapprove the application for non-farm use, because the business does not confrom with the District’s official community plan and zoning bylaw.

A staff report to council read: “As discussed during the Oct. 11, 2012 KAAC meeting, the proposed non-farm use does not provide a benefit to agriculture and does not enhance the existing agricultural activity on the property.”

The property in question is located at 1795 Fir Road in Agassiz. The proposal was for 1,000 sq. ft of the 20 acre property to be allowed to accommodate a jet boat repair business. The business is already operating on the site. While he applied for a business license, staff couldn’t approve it because of the nonconforming nature of the business.

The Kent Agricultural Advisory Committee (KAAC) did not support the application, and Councillor Lorne Fisher agreed.

“KAAC advises council to disapprove of non-farm use and I will be following that recommendation,” he stated.

But Councillors Dwayne Post and Darcy Striker questioned why this business couldn’t be allowed to remain, and continue to thrive.

“This guy will be shut down and we don’t seem to be, shall i say, helping him through it,” Striker said. “He’s got people coming from everywhere, the States, Alberta, to get boats repaired. Sometimes they stay overnight, they spend stuff here because they’re waiting for boats to be repaired. To me that benefits us a little bit and I’m going to have a hard time with this.

Laerhoven said his concerns are with businesses that start as non-conforming to the OCP or ALC and then ask for forgiveness.

“It’s a slippery slope to allow people to do a non-complaint situation then ask for permission later,” he said.

The issue will be retabled when council has had a chance to review the new home occupation bylaw, which council believed could change the tenability of the business. The business will be permitted to operate without further action as council deliberates their decision. news@ahobserver.com

Opinion A non-restrictive approach to Todd video

A memo from the B.C. Ministry of Education to all 60 school districts last week advises teachers not to show the video in which Amanda Todd tells her tragic tale, flash card by flash card.

The video has been viewed close to 20 million times on YouTube already.

Memorial pages on Facebook have garnered sympathies from Russia to Texas, while other teens have posted their own videos to Youtube in reaction to the suffering and harassment Amanda faced and which led to her suicide.

Ministry of Education anti-bullying staff fear that footage of Amanda’s video could trigger other vulnerable teens like those suffering from bullying to commit suicide.

Amanda’s mother, Carol Todd, however, wants the video to be used to help others who may be suffering as her 15-year-old daughter did.

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation says the ministry’s request ignores the reality that many kids have seen the video and need or want to talk about it.

And so they should.

But some haven’t seen the video and don’t want to, nor do they want to talk about it, for whatever reason.

B.C. Views

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Have you ever been the victim of bullying?

To answer, go to the Home page of our website: www.ahobserver.com

That is their choice, or that of their parents.

No one should be forced to watch the video.

At the same time, no one who wants to should be denied that opportunity, especially those who it may help.

Rather than restrict the video from classrooms, or to ignore the ministry’s request and do so anyway, why not show the video at lunch in the library or cafeteria or gymnasium of high schools, at least, and host a discussion afterwards. Send home a permission form to parents. Make available staff and resources at the viewing for students who might have questions afterwards or want to seek help.

For the ministry to suggest that the video doesn’t help address bullying issues is rather simplistic, because the video touches other important topics, as well, such as online safety and social media responsibility.

Would the ministry rather a troubled teen watch the video at home, alone?

Amanda made the video because she felt that way, so others wouldn’t also.

The discussion has already begun.

Let it continue.

Attack of the U.S. celebrities

Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – There was palpable disappointment among reporters when Greenpeace organizers clarified that U.S. actors Daryl Hannah and Mark Ruffalo weren’t actually going to join the sit-in against heavy oil pipeline proposals at the B.C. legislature on Monday.

I was disappointed too. I would have liked to learn more about what a washed-up mermaid and an easily confused Incredible Hulk really believe about the North American oil industry. In the spirit of celebrity slacktivism, both sent statements of support.

To be fair, Ruffalo may still be busy searching for the “truth” about 9/11. In 2007 he declared that the official U.S. government report on the terrorist attacks was “completely illegitimate” because

“buildings don’t fall down like that.” I wonder what the relatives of those aboard the hijacked airliners think of him.

Hannah has had lots of free time since starring in the 1984 mermaid fantasy Splash. Now she’s mostly famous for getting arrested, and she did so again in Texas on Oct. 3, standing in front of earthmoving equipment building the southern section of the Keystone XL pipeline.

It’s worth noting that the project Hannah tried to stop has the support of the Barack Obama administration. The southern section from Cushing, Oklahoma oil storage facilities to Texas refineries is indeed being built by the sinister foreign TransCanada Corp., but it doesn’t carry the dreaded Canadian “tar sands” oil that eco-celebrities are convinced will end life on Earth as we know it.

It’s the northern section that Obama has temporarily opposed, after fervent demonstrations such

Another Hannah quote: “I’ve “Rick George dissects been hearing about how many Hannah’s claims, and asks people have cancer that live why they were reported so downstream from the tar sands project.” Canadians heard that too, widely and uncritically.” thanks in large part to an alarmist CBC documentary by David Suzuki featuring jet-set movie target Alberta.

This finding was endorsed by Australian, New Zealand, U.S. and Canadian researchers. The doctor who diagnosed the original bile cancers admitted: “These results were based on a small number of cases – there is no cause for alarm.”

Was this news trumpeted around the world? You can guess the answer.

My point here isn’t to make fun of ill-informed celebrities.

It’s to counteract the fawning, scientifically ignorant coverage they are routinely given by the mainstream media.

And I’m not promoting the oil sands or pipelines. I’m saying they should be considered based on facts, not foolishness.

Charging for parking will make beach more valuable

I feel very strongly in support of paid parking. This program will contribute much needed revenue to our community and will enhance a perceived value of the community. For years we have been giving away our most prized feature, our beautiful waterfront and lagoon. This, at many times, is abused and regarded as being just another given. But if we charged people to park and view this jewel it will become more valued.

There are many other reasons for the parking toll, such as contributing to the cost of cleanup

and maintenance. Paid parking will also filter out the 'non-paying tourists' who come with large family parties and use the beach as their own 'back yards'. Many arrive with large barbecues and tents and settle in for the day.

Often the business community says that this will hurt business, but other communities have stated the opposite. Whistler, White Rock and Cultus Lake have benefited greatly from paid parking due to the amount of turnover of parking spaces.

People no longer tie up space all day at no charge, but paid

parking allows other guests the opportunity to visit and spend money in our community.

In conclusion, I feel that paid parking is a no brainer and it should have been brought in years ago. Having a business background, I feel frustrated that we have lost all this revenue from years of not having this program in place. We only have one industry in this village and it is tourism and we must try to get as much revenue from the tourists during their visit to our beautiful community as we can.

OPEN HOUSE

Nov. 1st & 2nd from 10 am - 5 pm

Tourists and residents alike shouldn't be dinged for parking As a member of the Harrison business community I am dismayed and disappointed to learn that pay parking is once again being considered. This issue has been presented by the council in the past and voted against. The business community came together many times in the past and expressed their opinion against pay parking knowing it would be a serious deterrent to our businesses and this is still true. Who better than the business community to know what the impact would be if we expect our customers to pay to park to support our businesses.

These are very difficult economic times. There is still a recession. We have not fully recovered from the downfall after 2008. Business is very sensitive and people are very careful with their dollars.

We do not have that great of an economy in our beautiful village to start charging people to park here. Each day we cross our fingers and do what we can hoping that someone will make a purchase in our shop and that they will enjoy a lunch or dinner or ice cream, that they will want to do a water sport or go on a boat trip and that

they will have a good experience and will want to come back and tell their friends that "Harrison is a great place to visit".

We ask our customers where they are from, and for the most part they are from the lower mainland and further north and east. They don't want to have to pay to stop and enjoy the view, to go for a coffee, check out the shops, and neither would I if I was to go go their towns.

We know that pay parking was a big problem in our Provincial Parks and we also know it was a problem in Tofino.

There was a big drop in visitors to the parks.

There is no longer pay parking at either of these places, it just isn't a good idea.

I know parking spaces are few on Esplanade but I think it might be a good idea to educate the local businesses whose employees park on the main street in order to go to work. Their cars are there for the entire day. These are parking spots that their customers need to do business with them.

The places where there is parking need to be better identified.

Of course there is the issue of money. Which in the end is what this is all about. The village

would like more revenue..we would all like more revenue. In our business we look to see how, during the difficult economic times we can stay afloat. We buy carefully, not spend on things we do not need, keep our staffing costs trimmed, etc.

These are all things the village can take a closer look at too.

And like us, when the money is available through saving and budgeting, consider making purchases, doing upgrades, etc.

There are 23 eating places in this village, 10 gift stores/dress shops, four ice cream shops, eight hotel/motels, two bar/pubs, liquor sales, bed and breakfasts, hairdressers, chocolate shop, boat rental and

Two-year greenway project helped bring nature back to Harrison

821-D 6th Ave. PO Box 520 Hope, BC V0X 1L0

Janne Perrin

For THe observer

On Oct. 17 and 18, a total of 19 volunteers planted 380 shrubs along the Miami River Greenway. The Miami River Streamkeepers Society (MRSkS) would like to thank them all.

The working party planted red flowering current, Nootka rose, sword and lady fern, snow, salmon and thimbleberry, red twigged dogwood, Indian plum, Douglas spirea, Pacific willows, slough sedge and hard-stemmed bulrush. The low height, flowers and berries of these shrubs beautify and stabilize the greenway without blocking the view of the river.

Riparian restoration enhances the greenway in many other ways. Homeowners get erosion and flood control. The Coho, cutthroat trout, Salish sucker and other fish get lower water temperature from the shade, clean water as runoff lessens with bank stabilization and food from insects that fall from shrubs. Birds, small mammals, frogs and

reptiles get food, shelter and nesting habitat. The MRSkS appreciate greenway users and homeowners who leave nothing but footprints as they enjoy the trail.

Several listed species make the greenway home.

These include Salish sucker, peregrine falcon, red-legged frog, western toad, Lewis’ woodpecker, great blue heron and bantailed pigeon.

Over the past year, several species previously ab-

sent put in an appearance.

A common yellowthroat sang in June. A sora rail called in the sedge in July.

A young merlin hawk harassed crows in September. In total, 110 bird species have been recorded on the greenway.

The October 2012 planting is the final one of a series that began in 2010 under the direction of the Village of Harrison Hot Springs, MRSkS, the Fraser Valley Watersheds Coalition and the Fra-

ser Valley Invasive Plant Council.

Two grants funded the greenway project. In 2010, Environment Canada Environmental Damages fund monies to the Village of Harrison Hot Springs not only paid for four plantings but also for removal of several stands of invasive Japanese knotweed.

The knotweed areas were restored in the present planting. A Pacific Salmon Foundation

Group reaching out to Agassiz kids

ReachOut Psychosis is coming to Agassiz next week. The inschool rock and comedy presentation comes to AESS on Nov. 2 at 9 a.m.

The tour raises awareness about psychosis and mental illness.

Three percent of youth are directly affected by psychosis, a serious brain condition. ReachOut Psychosis makes this message meaningful to B.C.’s youth with

free school presentations.

By identifying psychosis as a serious, but treatable medical condition of the brain, this program works to help youth and their friends and teachers recognize it early and get effective help.

If properly diagnosed at early stages, medical treatment has the ability to not just turn young lives around, but to save lives. Teen suicide statistics related to youth

mental illness are staggering.

Performances by the popular Vancouver band Proud Animal and comedy by Barbara Adler are interspersed with playful interactive psychosis information and tons of prizes from our sponsors to help educate young people about psychosis. Mike Young from the band speaks personally about how psychosis affected his life. Interviews can be arranged.

Musical Mash hits the stage tonight

Tonight is the night the ghouls come alive in Hope.

The Musical Monster Mash will start at 7 p.m. tonight (Oct. 26) at the Station House, at the corner of the Old Hope Princeton Highway. The Hope Performing Arts Community Theatre will be putting on a musical

show, to be followed by dancing and live music.

Everyone is encouraged to attend in costume.

Light snacks are provided, and tickets are $10.

And later in the year, the same group is getting ready to present a pantomime – Beauty, the Baron and the Beast.

A pantomime is a British musical theatre tradition, in which men are cast as women and women are cast as men.

The panto will be held on Dec. 22 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. and on Dec. 23, there will be a brunch with the characters. Some of the characters include

Cinderella, Belle, Red Riding Hood and Prince Charming. The brunch starts at noon and the show follows at 1 p.m.

Tickets for the show are $10. Tickets for brunch and a show are $12. They can be reserved by emailing hopeact@gmail.com or calling 1-604-206-7227.

Getting to know photographer Aaron Goodis

Aaron Goodis is certainly one of the most talented upcoming photographers.

His work has been featured in magazines such as B.C. Outdoors, Northwest Fly Fishing, Fly Fusion, Canadian Fly Fisher, Catch Magazine and as he adds, “our very own Agassiz-Harrison-Hope Observer.”

He also produced a great number of stunning outdoor photos that make one wonder how he achieves these results.

I posed some questions to him and I think, you might like to share his answers with me.

Q. Your photos are very special. What separates you from many other photographers?

A. I am not sure that the following separates me as a photographer, but I do have and bring an intense passion and dedication to my photography. I chase the light,

shooting very early and late in the day. I often pre-visualize my photographs and then search out a location and the perfect light, hoping to bring my visualization to life. I shoot primarily nature/landscape and fly fishing.

Q. Do you have any favourite locations?

A. I have many favorite locations, but right now Harrison, Northern B.C., Tofino and Vancouver are on the top of my list. I would love to shoot in the Great Bear Rain Forest, The Sacred Headwaters and our remote ancient rain forests.

Q. What do you think of computer imaging and other enhancements available today?

A. I use the computer as my “digital darkroom” to develop my images, much like

my images will showcase our environment in its raw, wild beauty.

Q. Where can your work be seen?

A. I will be presenting some of my work, along with other photographers, during the upcoming Eagle Fest on November 24 and 25. The show is titled Nature Exposed and will be in the Canada Room at the Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa. But you can also find me on my website at www. aarongoodisphotography.com and from there you will find links to my Facebook page and my photo blog.

More to the story I might add, at this time, that Aaron left St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver

after seven weeks of treatments for a very severe encounter with osteoporosis.

He was told that his best chance to further overcome his condition would be to walk as much as he could, preferably with a heavy pack on his back to strengthen his muscles. An outdoor person at heart (he was a top fly fisher at an early age) he did not have to be told twice. He borrowed his father’s camera equipment, put it in his backpack and off he went.

His story was featured in The Globe and Mail under the title A Man Walks Himself Back to Life and Aaron himself chronicled his story in a photo book titled The Recovery Story.

Aaron is my grandson and spends much of his time here in Harrison Hot Springs.

LEN DAVIDIUK TAX SERVICES

The Directors of the Harrison Agassiz Chamber of Commerce met a few weeks back at the Agassiz Museum to discuss current events & issues. October is a month where things normally slow down but with Tourism Harrison organizing a Beer Festival & the Village of Harrison Hot Springs looking once again at pay parking, things are busy in our region.

The Chamber Directors are always looking for new ways to encourage visitors to our area. This is why the Chamber is happy to be a sponsor of the Harrison Beer Festival with its Cask Night, Beer Festival & Oktoberfest Dance. The idea behind this event is that it will not only be great for Agassiz & Harrison residents but by bringing in people from Chilliwack, Abbotsford & Vancouver, it will also be a good event for hotels & restaurants. The Chamber, working closely with Tourism Harrison, is trying to help develop events that will bring people to our region in the off-season & this new event looks to be a winner.

What will not help bring people to our region is pay parking. The Directors of the Chamber believe that in these tough economic times, when we have to fight for every tourist, pay parking is not a good idea. In a survey conducted in Whistler last year, most Whistler businesses felt that pay parking in their Village had led to decreased revenues. White Rock businesses have made the same observation & were successful in having pay parking removed during the winter although current White Rock Council has now gone to a lower fare program for the winter. While there are valid points to be made on both sides of the pay parking argument, the bottom line is that pay parking will ultimately mean fewer tourists. Whether that is a 10% decrease or the 30% decrease that the provincial government parks experienced when they brought in pay parking, the result will mean less revenue for businesses that are already struggling to survive in Harrison.

The last item on the Directors’ agenda was setting the date & place for the Annual General Meeting. This year it will take place on Thursday, November 15th at the Hungry Chef Eatery. Details will be sent out in the coming weeks. Hope to see you there!

A group of interested people in our community have begun to hold a series of monthly programs that will take the form of an open, provocative discussion on current topics. Issues could include: philosophy, personal values, modern technology, politics, economics, psychology, environmental and social justice concerns.

For years, the Simon Fraser University has sponsored a wide series of programs known as The Philosophers Café.

Held regularly in dozens of locations these presentation and discussions have ranged over a multitude of stimulating themes.

Here in Agassiz, one group has made very modest beginnings to follow this model. Their first October evening, held at the library, focused on electronic surveillance and the use or abuse of social

media. This month, with an evening at the Agassiz United Church the topic will be: “Is the Universe An Accident?” Friday, Oct. 26 at 7 p.m.

Graham Forst, a retired professor of literature at SFU thrives on the vitality of Philosophers Café discussion. To quote, “… opening the minds of people who feel the doors are already open and are surprised to find that there are more doors to open yet.”

In commenting on the goal of formal education, Forst says, “The issue is not how can I make a living, but what should I live for?”

The benchmark for the Philosophers Café is: “Think the unthinkable; Imagine the impossible; Discuss the improbable.”

For inquiries or comments, contact Nelson at ejrajotte@shaw.ca or 604-7960409.

Church hosts appreciation day

The fourth annual Peace & Correctional Officers' Appreciation Day is being held at 10 a.m. on Sun. Oct. 28 at All

Saints Anglican Church, at 6904 Lougheed Hwy in Agassiz.

The celebration includes guest speakers,

Harrison Highlanders, lunch and fellowship.

Everyone is welcome.
