Parking plan runs out of gas Harrison Hot Springs council divided on pay parking proposal

Jessica Peters THE OBSERVER

The pay parking model sputtered to a stop in Harrison Hot Springs Monday night.

A divided council voted to not adopt the GoPark proposal that would have brought 43 pay park machines to be installed through the highest traffic areas in the Village.

GoPark was invited by staff and council to create a proposal. They were selected by a staff committee which looked at six different companies. GoPark brought that presentation to council in early January, and the community was asked to weigh in through a poll conducted by the Village. The majority of respondents (54 per

cent) said they were not in favour John Buckley all spoke out against of the proposal. Forty-four of the the proposal before voting in respondents were in favour, and favour of staff recommendation. two per cent did not answer that Jackson was agitated and voiced question. his displeasure In light of with the that feedback, councillors “You know very well staff presented who voted in I’ve been chasing this line with staff. council with a recommendation “I wish since 1993.” that the pay the other parking proposal councillors not be approved would have Leo Facio after all. d e c i d e d Coun.

council can expect to see raised taxes.

But it was Mayor Leo Facio who has been pushing for pay parking, as he stated on Monday night.

“You know very well I’ve been chasing this since 1993,” Facio said. “And I think this time around, the company was very flexible with what they presented.”

He also stated that the Village is facing “a tight squeeze,” much like other communities.

“I’m sorry it hasn’t gone through,” Facio said.

residents, 19 from property owners and 21 from businesses.

Staff said it would be “difficult to project pay parking revenue as there are many unknown factors and because conditions such as pay parking area, price and number of equipment can have a significant influence on the revenue.”

Based on the

proposal, the gross revenues in the first year could have been $371,731, with $84,133 in expenses to run the program, making a net income of $287,598.

The councillors who spoke out against pay parking cited various reasons for shutting down the proposal.

“I do believe we have a parking problem in the Village,” said Kiss.

“But I don’t think this is the way to fix it.”

Buckley said pay parking is “not a cut and dry solution” to traffic issues, and could create problems in residential areas.

“We don’t want to be ticketing and towing neighbours who come here for coffee and exercise,” he said. “It would have a negative effect and I believe accommodations would suffer.”

He also said the proposal was “unrealistic” because it is based on full parking occupancy throughout May to September, without accounting for rainy weekends, midweek slumps or the slow shoulder season.

“I don’t want to be running a deficit,” he said.

Reyerse noted that the issue has been a contentious one that has divided the community for some time, “pitting resident against resident.”

The mid-week is a struggle for businesses,

she said. She also cited estimates that 30 per cent of people would stop coming to Harrison is there were pay parking, and broke that down to a $1.5 million loss to the local economy just to attain “an unknown, unproven revenue” from pay parking.

At the GoPark presentation in January, representative Justin Powell couldn’t come up with a break even number of parked cars over the given period of time, because there were too many variables.

Dedication and creativity keep businesses going Jessica Peters The Observer

More than one hundred and twenty local people turned out for the 2013 Harrison Agassiz Business Excellence Awards at the Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa last Thursday night.

Twelve awards of excellence were presented during the evening, concluding with Valley Care being recognized for Employer of the Year.

The Harrison Agassiz Chamber of Commerce and the Agassiz Harrison Observer organized the celebrations, which included an intimate concert with Todd Richard and TR Band, dancing and prizes.

In addition, $100 was raised for the Agassiz Harrison Community Services food bank.

“We were thrilled to see such

a fantastic turnout this evening, this was a great opportunity to recognize the hard work of smaller businesses located in Agassiz and Harrison” said Chris Franklin, director with the Chamber, and emcee for the evening.

“Creating and maintaining a successful business is not an easy thing,” said Tourism Harrison executive Robert Reyerse. “It takes a lot of hard work, dedication and creativity, especially in tough economic times.”

But Harrison and Agassiz businesses have stayed strong through the past few years, he said, and have remained consistent in their work.

“Even in what are tough and competitive times, there are many businesses in our region that rise to the occasion and deliver exceptional services and

products,” he said. The awards seek to recognize those efforts.

This year’s awards were well sponsored by the local business community. Sponsors included Modern Tire and Towing, the District of Kent, Tourism Harrison, Prospera Credit Union, Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa, the Village of Harrison Hot Springs, Rimex, Black Forest Restaurant, the Chamber, Oasis Coffee and Bistro, Britco LP and Kent Veterinary Clinic.

Sandy Lance from Holly Tree Florist & Gifts donated flowers to be given out to the winners.

cial election nears, Elections BC is pulling out all the stops to make sure residents are ready to participate.

Bev Kennedy, the district electoral officer for the Chilliwack Hope electoral district, said that a massive registration drive is underway.

Elections BC will be setting up shop in communities across the province, including Agassiz and Hope, so that residents can easily drop in and see if their information is registered.

The hope is that voting day, May 14, stepping into a voting booth will be quicker and easier.

In Agassiz, they’ll be visiting on Mar. 21 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

In Hope, they’ll be set up at the District Recreation Centre on Mar. 18, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Any resident of B.C. can stop by any of the enumeration days, Kennedy said.

“We have a table set up with our computer with the voters list on it and they can check if

they’re registered,” she explained.

One of the most common complaints on election day is that people assumed they were on the voters list, when in fact they aren’t.

Those who are will receive a yellow card in the mail just prior to the election, informing them of the proper location to vote. Those who register during this province wide enumeration will also receive a card in the mail.

In addition to the

registration drive, Elections BC is going door-to-door this year in order to update the voters list. While they won’t be knocking on every door, they will be visiting the newest developments, such as condo and townhouse developments, in order to educate the public.

“We’ve put together a plan to catch the new places around the province,” Kennedy said.

Invitation to Tender

New Officer in Charge for Upper Fraser Valley

DISTRICT OF KENT Contract: Agassiz Townsite Sanitary Sewer Upgrades Tender No: 2013-03

Deanne Burleigh chosen by local mayoral committee

The RCMP’s Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment has chosen Inspector Deanne Burleigh as the new Officer in Charge.

“Inspector Burleigh comes with a wealth of experience and leadership skills which will make her a great Detachment Commander. We are excited to have her join our Lower

Mainland management team,” said Lower Mainland District Commander Norm Lipinski in a press release.

Burleigh planned the RCMP response in Richmond during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Previously, she also worked with the Commercial Crime Section in Richmond and Montreal.

All the Fraser Valley mayors participated in the selection, including Harrison Hot Springs Mayor Leo Facio and District of Kent Mayor John Van Laerhoven.

“I was pleased to hear the communities selected Inspector Deanne Burleigh.

I have known her for a number of years and she has

a common sense approach to policing and is a very open, caring individual,” said outgoing Superintendent Keith Robinson in the release.

Burleigh will take over as Detachment Commander in April, and will be promoted to superintendent in the near future. akonevski@theprogress.com

Senior abuse hotline expanded

Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has announced a $1 million boost to its seniors’ abuse protection programs, including extending the hours for a hotline to report suspicions of abuse or neglect.

The bulk of the funding is to allow the Vancouver-based Seniors Abuse and Information Line to extend its hours to 12 hours a day, seven days a week. It offers information, advice and emotional support for seniors and their friends and relatives who suspect elderly people are being abused or taken advantage of.

The number is 604-

437-1940 in Metro Vancouver and tollfree province-wide at 1-866-437-1940.

Saanich councillor and former MLA Susan Brice, a volunteer with the seniors’ support organization Silver Threads, said members see cases of abuse frequently.

“It’s the elderly woman who comes to her craft class with unexplained bruises,” Brice said. “It’s the couple who lose thousands of dollars through a telemarketing scam. And it’s the quietspeaking gentleman, who while living with family, appears neglected and uncared for.”

Minister of State for Seniors Ralph Sultan said he has encountered abuse and exploitation

of seniors in his own family, and it comes up frequently as he has traveled B.C. asking seniors and their caregivers what they

“It is a beginning step.”

Ralph Sultan need from government.

In an interview, Sultan acknowledged that the funding is a modest effort to bolster volunteer efforts.

“It is a beginning step, but it also reflects the fact that this problem can not be solved top-down,” Sultan said. “It will have to be solved bottom-up

by mobilizing many different organizations around the province.”

The B.C. government also provided $1.4 million last year to the B.C. Association of Community Response Networks, for prevention and education to reduce elder abuse and neglect.

Katrine Conroy, NDP critic for seniors, said she agrees with extra support for the information line, which is supported by lawyers and other experts to help seniors find help.

“Anything that’s done to eliminate elder abuse is a good thing,” Conroy said. “The community resource networks are really good organizations.”

She added that the government’s proposed

Opinion Divert traffic altogether Pay parking has divided the community of Harrison Hot Springs for far too long.

And because it’s a potential revenue stream for the municipality, it’s a concept that’s not going to die this week, next year, or after another election.

But it should.

While Harrison Hot Springs is a gem in its own right, its tourism traffic cannot be compared to nearby meccas like Whistler or White Rock. What Harrison needs is its own unique solution to thinning out the lines of cars that clog Esplanade on those busy holiday weekends. The community needs to drum up a localized solution, and even better — a green solution.

Rather than taking a cue from Whistler’s method of pay parking, why not take a look at how they route traffic? Or rather, how they divert traffic from the walkable business core, and encourage pedestrians. A good start would be encouraging biking and walking around the main beach by making the sides of the roads safer.

Or better yet, why not keep

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Are you happy with the decision not to pursue the pay parking proposal in Harrison?

the traffic out of town altogether through the summer weekends?

There are a handful of empty lots waiting for development to be needed — and then permitted.

Nobody really wants to pave paradise in favour of a parking lot.

But that’s exactly what Whistler did, while incorporating its hiking and biking trails, and even a bike park, in all adjacent corners.

And it works. Stockpiling all the cars away from the attractions could be a solution here, along with a bike rental operation or peak hours shuttle bus.

People like to walk. And while they're walking, they like to pop in and out of the very kinds of stores Harrison is rightfully proud of.

But every time a car sits idling waiting for someone, anyone, to leave a parking spot at the beach, it’s at a cost to the environment.

And whenever cars circle the town scouting out the perfect place to stop, the roads become less pedestrian friendly.

For a community that is doing it's best to attract tourism, pay parking would have been a step in the wrong direction.

TF: Your party ran ads targeting NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and equating cap and trade with a carbon tax. They’re not the same, are they?

JO: The end result is that taxes increase because of how we handle carbon. It hasn’t been successful in Europe at all. Anyway, it’s not part of our thinking. We are making significant progress on greenhouse gas emissions. Our recent regulations regarding heavy-duty vehicles, the previous rules regarding cars and light trucks, which are identical to the U.S., are going to be helpful.

And also the rules relating to coal-fired electricity. It’s our objective to see all those coal plants closed, and in that regard we’re certainly ahead of the U.S. Coal is contributing 40 times the greenhouse gas emissions of the oil sands. And actually

TF: You’re comfortable with the idea that exporting LNG that replaces coal is an appropriate step at this time, one that’s doable as opposed to these Kyoto-type gestures?

JO: It is doable. And on a global basis, this would be a very significant development. If China, for example, could significantly move from coal to gas, that would have a huge impact.

What it means is, for gas we’re going to have to find new markets, and for oil we’re going to have to find markets to sustain the growth in supply.

The United States will still be a big buyer of Canadian oil. We’re shipping about two and a half million barrels a day, of which a million comes from the oil sands.

Right now we’re losing about $50 million a day because of the crude oil bottleneck in the U.S. midwest, compared to international prices. We absolutely must find new markets, which is why our government in principle is supporting the transport of oil and gas to the west, to the east, continuing to the south and possibly even the north.

It isn’t easy being a kid these days. There are times when any young person can feel lonely, overwhelmed and too confused for words.

It could even seem hopeless. In these facts, there is a story to be told, and a happy ending to be written. Read on, please, and in this version the subject is a girl, though it could be a boy, or it could be you.

Once there was a young person who was being chased and who ran with great speed down a path through a forest. This forest, though bordered by a green, grassy field, was dark and the only trail through it had many turns and was covered with rocks and boulders.

Even though the field was close by, darkness and fear prevented the girl from looking side to side. She did not see the wide, flat meadow so close under a sunny sky.

Instead, she found herself running full speed down this path to escape her pursuer, a fire-breathing, red eyed,

That is what we will end up with, but we need a starting point.

We need the ‘nudge’.

The HELP Project Committee is holding a contest to get images of any type from the students in our community. The winning images will be put on the website and become the logo that says HELP is right here, right now.

The committee believes that kids are the best ones to create the image that will become the logo of The HELP Project. The committee encourages entries from all school age kids, and image designs of all kinds – original drawings, paintings, collages, computer generated images ... colour, black and white, multi-media.

The only thing that is a must, is that the image represent an image of help and hope. Every school in the Fraser Cascade region will offer a prize of an iPad Mini to its top entry. Those entries will then compete to become an overall winner, whose image will be on The HELP Project website and all other materials that will carry the digital path to this resource website. The deadline for this contest is May 1.

This project is supported by the District of Kent, Village of Harrison Hot Springs, School District #78 and many other community organizations and individuals who want to make sure HELP is just a touch away for our young people. Teachers have all the information needed to enter, but this can also be done by emailing your image to: thehelpprojectcontest@ gmail.com, with personal contact info, age and school.

Homeschool entries are welcome too and entry forms can be filled out and the image dropped off at Agassiz Library. As a parent, encourage your child to enter. As a kid, help make a happy ending for someone, as a member of the community, ask the HELP Project how you can help too. For more information call Agassiz Library at 796-9510.

world that sometimes seems to turn too fast for mankind to handle. Perhaps it would be possible to close our eyes and our mind to it for while, but that is not our style.

So let’s hope that we will deal with the problems of today as wisely as we have dealt with the problems of the past and find the solutions that are right for us.

Just recently, I watched one of the leadership debates leading up to the election of a new leader for one of our national parties. I was truly impressed: first by the number of people (11 in all) going for it, then by the almost equal number of male and female aspirants and finally, by the broad range of topics they handled.

One of the contenders intends to get the young people of our nation interested in politics — something that is extremely important, to be sure!

Another one had her mind fixed on immigration and how to do it right — equally important! One of them had very good ideas on the environmental level, while another one is a

lawyer who gave the impression that he would keep a cool head even in difficult situations. Not to forget one of our former astronauts, who surely could put a feather on our Canadian hat in the international world.

But, it was one of the ladies who impressed me most because she alone talked about an item that should get top priority: Let us not waste time with “party bashing”, let’s work together to find a common vision for Canada. Let’s find out where we want to go as a nation. I have to say that she would get my support!

But I also think that we, all Canadians, should take part in this project, the project to find a common goal for Canada!

I would like to conclude this article by relating something I found in one of my favourite magazines, Our Canada. They found it in “Cyberspace” and it was written by Desmond Morton, author and historian: “A cautious people learns from its past; a sensible people can face its future. Canadians, on the whole, are both.”

Call goes out to all Chieftains Alumna basketball tournament hosted by Aess senior boys

Jessica Peters The Observer

Calling all former Chieftains — your alma mater needs you.

The Agassiz elementary secondary schol is looking for any and all former basketball players to come out and take part in the First Annual Chieftains Alumni Tournament.

So far, about 60 alumna have signed up to play in the April 12-13 tournament, some from as far back as the 1980s.

But coach and teacher Kyle Dickey says they’re hoping to find a few more players. There is a fee of $20 for all players, and that money will go directly back into the senior boys basketball program at AESS. The tournament is being organized by the senior boys team.

For more information, contact kdickey@sd78. bc.ca.

JESSICA PETERS / OBSERVER

The Agassiz boys won the 2003/2004 Fraser Valley Champions, continuing a long history of success on the court.

Former reporter ‘Scoop’ relives the Chieftains’ glory days

For those living in Agassiz-Harrison 25 years ago, do you remember that great moment in high school basketball when the Agassiz Chieftains won their first of two consecutive high school basketball championships on March 12, 1988?

And what a great parade and reception the boys received when they returned home that Sunday afternoon as the community celebrated the banner basketball season.

assistants Rick Sciotti and Rob Forde, the Chieftains lived up to the great tradition of Agassiz high school basketball and recorded a perfect 22 wins and no losses against single-A schools.

I still remember the scores in that tournament as the Chieftains dumped Summerland Rockets 88-57 in the semi-finals after Agassiz edged KLO Cougars of Kelowna 6362 on a basket by John Forde in the last second, and crushed Smithers Bears 96-58 to open play.

I still have all Chieftain basketball files in Agassiz with the nightly news reported I phoned to CHWK Radio, a cassette tape recording of the celebration reception and of course, my evercherished button – All the Way Agassiz.

This was just the start of glory years for the Chieftains who won the double-A title in 1989 as the boys beat John Barsby Blazers of Nanaimo 83-73 under head coach Bob Watson as Shayne (Rocket)

Rogers launched a record 44 points in the final.

After the Chieftains fell 71-70 in the 1990 final to host Lambrick Park Lions, Agassiz finished third in 1991 and second in 1992 under head coach Stewart Sonne as Agassiz lost 72-57 to league rival D.W. Poppy Redhawks in the final.

Oh to relive those great moments.

Community q ECHOES FROM THE PAST

Duffray Trophy award to Petersen

50 Years Ago March 7, 1963 The Duffray Trophy, awarded annually to the outstanding 4-H Club member completing a project with a Guernsey calf, was presented to 18-year-old Dorothy Ann Petersen, Agassiz, by the Canadian Guernsey Breeders Association at its annual meeting held recently in Toronto.

The trial of two men charged with stealing nearly $500 from Chief Harry Joseph at his home on Seabird Island has been adjourned.

Prosecution evidence was presented last week with the 102 year old identifying the two brothers on trial as the men who took the money from him. Defence evidence will be presented when the trial resumes.

Agassiz Elementary School was a colourful place on Tuesday evening as each classroom displayed the work of the pupils for interested parents and friends.

Principal Mr. Duncan, and Vice Principal Mr. J. Klein and members of the teaching staff were present to receive the visitors to various rooms where there was something of interest for everyone.
