There are some exciting new artists coming to the Ranger Station Art Gallery. The Kent Harrison Arts Council is pleased to show the work of M.A. Tateishi (Mary Anne) for the upcoming month, and will also introduce their new artist in residence, Aimée Henny Brown.

As September’s featured artist, M.A.Tateishi will display brand new work, none of which has been exhibited before. The concept for the show is “every part of the buffalo,” which she says refers to the idea that the First Nations people wasted nothing when they hunted.

Her excavation paintings in particular, three of which will be on display in Harrison, take months to complete, as they require painting on paper layers, one atop the other.

“When I tear away the layers, I end up with a painting on the wall and a piece of textured paper in my hand,” says Tateishi. “This art is simple, bright, and sunny.”

The show will also include some prints, which offers people an inexpensive way to begin collecting art.

Tateishi says she is inspired by all things visual, such as a colorful billboard or the stark contrast between a lime sweater tossed on an orange chair. Since she works in layers, she considers her work like many paintings combined into one, with the vibrant world around her serving as a kick-start for her imagination.

“When I tear back my layers, I’m never sure what the final piece will look like,” says Tateishi. “This random quality is what the human eye likes, since our gaze passes over the perfect.”

This is Tateishi’s first show outside of a big city, and because of that she is particularly excited to showcase her work to Harrison.

“Abstract art allows everyone to have his or her own reaction,” she says. “I notice that we are hardwired to look for objects and stories in the art, but that is what the

Country star Aaron Pritchett is headlining the entertainment lineup at Brigade Days next weekend.

Local artist Roger Dalton and guitarist Jerry Doucette will kick off the Friday night lineup at the Sixth Avenue Sports Bowl along with Vancouver’s country-rock band Me and Mae, who are currently on tour across Canada promoting their debut album Off the Rails.

Pritchett will then take

to the stage with his high energy set, featuring hits like Hold My Beer, Lets Get Rowdy, New Frontier, and Suntan City.

“We wanted to go as big as we could this year and he was there for us,” said Jeff Smith, president of the Brigade Days committee. “We’re trying to grow the festival.

The more participants we get to the festival, the more money it provides for the upcoming years and we hope to expand it. We knew that booking an act like (Aaron Pritchett) would attract people from out of town into Hope.”

The Sports Bowl gates open at 5 p.m. on Sept.

5 and there will be a Brigade Days opening ceremony prior to the concert starting at about 7 p.m. Mike Barker will light up the sky with a fireworks show following the concert Saturday (Sept. 6) kicks off at 10 a.m. with

the annual parade along Wallace Street. Hope Community Services will be collecting nonperishable food items for the food bank along the route.

Hope Motorsports Group presents 4x4 and mini stock races on Saturday at the Sports Bowl, as well as a demolition derby and mini stock races on Sunday (Sept. 7). The action gets underway at 1 p.m. both days.

In Sixth Avenue Park, there will be a beer garden, gold panning demonstrations with Yukon Dan, sheep and duck herding, and a BMX and skateboarding exhibition throughout the weekend. The Golden Agers Club is providing bingo from 1-3 p.m. on Saturday at the curling rink as well as a pancake breakfast Sunday morning. A free concert on Saturday night at the Sports Bowl will fea-

Village of Harrison Hot Springs 2014 GENERAL LOCAL ELECTIONS

RCMP looking for missing person Agassiz RCMP are requesting the assistance of the general public in finding Roxane Desiree Landman, who was reported missing from Agassiz on Aug. 31.

Landman was last seen on Aug. 30, leaving her residence in her 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche pickup truck, with British Columbia license plate HW 0056. Â She has not been heard from or seen since.

Landman is 54 years old and is described as about 5 foot 7 inches, shoulder length dyed blonde hair, with highlights, that would either be worn down or in a braid.Â

LANDMAN

Landman is 120 pounds, has blue eyes, wears glasses, she has tattoos on her arms and neck. “If anyone has information concerning Roxane Landman, we need to hear from them,� said Cst. Ashley St. Germaine. “We are concerned for her well-being, she may be in need of medical treatment.� Anyone having knowledge of Landman is asked to contact Agassiz RCMP at 604-796-2211, reference Agassiz file 2014-29686, or if you wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS).

Motorcyclist dies in Mt. Woodside collision A Langley man died of his injuries following a collision on Mt. Woodside on Labour Day. RCMP said the man was driving a motorcycle west on the Lougheed Hwy. The motorcyclist, age 27, failed to negotiate one of the turns on the hill and entered the

eastbound lane where he collided with an oncoming car.

The driver of the car, a Chilliwack man, was uninjured in the crash.

However, the driver of a second motorcycle was injured in the multiple vehicle collision. He had non-life-threatening

injuries and was taken to Chilliwack General Hospital for treatment.

The accident happened just after 4 p.m. on the holiday Monday. The highway remained closed in both directions for several hours, and Fraser Valley Traffic Services is investigating the

collision. They are also requested assistance from the RCMP's Integrated Collision Analyst Reconstructionist Services (ICARS)Â and the BC Coroners Service.

No name will be released of the man who died, at the request of his family.

Cops for Cancer training to hit the road in September More than 100 police officers and emergency services personnel will slip into spandex, strap on their helmets and hit the road next month as part of the the annual Cops for Cancer cycling tours to raise awareness and money for pediatric cancer research.

A total of 107 cyclists will participate in four different tours that will visit businesses and schools from Fort St. John in the province's north to the southernmost reaches of Vancouver Island. “For more than 15 years, communities throughout the Fraser Valley have welcomed us, hosting events that we look forward to each year,� says rider Trevor Sales, the team captain for the Tour de Valley, which takes riders from Tsawwassen to Boston Bar. “It’s hard to describe the feeling when you see the lengths people go to, welcoming and supporting the riders, because they too believe that no child should have to face cancer.�

In addition to the Tour de Valley, the Tour de Rock will cover Vancouver Island, the Tour de North will travel through northern British Columbia from Prince

“It’s hard to describe the feeling when you see the lengths people go to . . . because they too believe that no child should have to face cancer�

Trevor Sales George to Prince Rupert (with a stop in Kitimat), and the Tour de Coast will journey around Greater Vancouver and up to Powell River and Pemberton.

Sudoku September 4, 2014 Intermediate Level See answers in Classifieds.

While the rides begin in September, the cyclists are already in the midst of their fundraising and training efforts.

On Sunday, for example, the Tour de Valley riders embarked on a 160-kilometre ride beginning and ending in Abbotsford. “All Cops for Cancer riders take part in rigorous training,� says Allan Mugford, Fraser Valley regional director for the Canadian Cancer Society. “But what they can never prepare for is the emotional impact of seeing a child with cancer and the toll it takes on their entire family.�

The Cops for Cancer campaign runs through September, with money raised going to fund leading edge cancer research and support programs operated by the Canadian Cancer Society like Camp Goodtimes.

The ride is expected to tour through Agassiz on Sept. 27. Visit Copsforcancerbc.ca or at Facebook. com/CopsforCancerBC to learn more about the ride, or to donate.

If someone comes away feeling happy or energized, that would be perfect.”

Also showing her work is new artist in residence, Aimée Henny Brown, who is excited to use the history of Harrison and Agassiz to inspire her work over the next year.

“I’m looking forward to hearing stories, meeting local community members, and expanding my understanding of the area,” says Brown. “I am a research hound, so I tend to let the exploration phase of my studio work really guide the final results – process is paramount.”

Brown hopes people are able to experience her work through their

senses. From hand bound books, drawings, printed matte, installations and performances, she tends to investigate the site she is working with in order to bring the art, and the feelings it provokes, to the forefront.

“The sounds and scents, geography, topography and history of a place become very important to determining what will happen in my artistic practice,” says Brown, who will use Harrison as her backdrop and inspiration for the next year.

Opening reception for Tateishi's show will be held on Sunday, Sept. 7 at 2 p.m. The show will include a chance to meet the new artist in residence, Aimée Henny Brown.

The Ranger Station Art Gallery set to feature new artists M.A.Tateishi and Aimée Henny Brown. Tateishi’s work is abstract, such as the untitled piece above.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Time to take the challenge

Have you participated in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge?

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

2014. In modern times, many of us are goofing off for the sake of a YouTube clip anyway, so we might as well do it for a good cause.

This summer’s donations are a hundred-fold beyond anything the ALS society has ever seen.

A lot of people have had some laughs dumping ice water on their head, but for most, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge isn’t just a thoughtless stunt.

There is no cure for ALS, but researchers right here in B.C., at the University of British Columbia, could be close to a breakthrough. And our silly stunts could make a difference.

All it takes a bucket of ice water, a cheque, good intentions and hope.

(To see the Observer's Ice Bucket Challenge video, visit us on Facebook.)

Black Press has poured itself into the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, the viral sensation that has so far raised more than $100 million for research and awareness of the deadly, degenerative disease.

If you didn't get nominated for the challenge, why not take it anyway? You’ll be cool if you do it, in more ways than one.

Most of us, by now, have seen our Facebook friends or celebrities participating in what has been a wildly successful fundraiser for ALS societies around the world.

The concept is simple and fun – douse yourself with a bucket of ice water, make a donation to your local ALS society, and challenge three others to do the same.

The ice bucket challenge has been exactly the right kind of fundraiser for the summer of

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:

Should the government legislate teachers back to work?

Here’s how you responded: Yes 42% No 58%

Bleak summer for coastal ferry remake B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – There was an uproar in the B.C. legislature this spring when Transportation Minister Todd Stone went ahead with $19 million in cuts to lowusage coastal ferry routes.

The plan had been laid out in detail before last year’s election.

It targeted sailings where ridership was in the low teens or even single digits. On some sailings the Transport Canadamandated crew outnumbered the passengers.

Despite the cries of doom, most of the sailing reductions have been managed – with one glaring exception. The Discovery Coast Circle Tour route saw its ferry from Port Hardy to Bella Coola replaced, using the smallest vessel

in the BC Ferries fleet, the opendecked Nimpkish.

This move wasn’t a direct response to low usage, a chronic issue with some of the minor route sailings along the coast. It was to avoid ordering a replacement for the Queen of Chilliwack, which sailed directly between Port Hardy and Bella Coola.

This summer the first leg was consolidated with the Northern Expedition, the vessel that replaced the doomed Queen of the North on the Inside Passage run up to Prince Rupert. At Bella Bella, after a layover of a couple of hours, the Nimpkish took over with space for 16 standard vehicles on its deck and a midnight arrival time in Bella Coola.

The direct route had been mainly used by European tourists, who sailed from the Lower Mainland to Victoria, drove the length of the Island, ferried to Bella Coola and drove

through the rugged Chilcotin to Williams Lake and back down south to complete the circle tour.

The new route incorporated stops in remote outposts Ocean Falls and Shearwater, making it

“A survey by Bella Coola Valley Tourism in midsummer found most operators losing business, from 10 to 90 per cent” even longer. Warnings came early.

“That’s where 90 per cent of the [BC Ferries] money is being lost, on the milk runs, and that’s the part they are keeping,” Petrus Rykes, a tourism operator at Anahim Lake for 40 years, said in March. “The part they’ve cancelled was at 70 per cent

capacity, the second highest of all the fleet routes.”

Reports of a bad slump have come to pass. The changes meant bookings couldn’t be made until April, too late for most international travelers.

A survey by Bella Coola Valley Tourism in mid-summer found most operators losing business, from 10 to 90 per cent. A bus tour of Canadian seniors heading west from Williams Lake was terminated after 14 years. One tourism operator on Highway 20 is considering closing down.

Stone and his family took the new route themselves in early August, with the minister offering sunny reports on his blog.

Stone summed up his experience this way: “At the end of the day, my assessment is that the Nimpkish is a good tourism product if tourists are made fully aware as to the type of service it provides. If correct OFFICE HOURS Tues.-Fri. 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Closed Sat., Sun., & Mon.

expectations are set, I believe the Nimpkish can be marketed as a valuable tourism component of the Discovery Coast Circle Tour.

“The decision to do this rests squarely on the shoulders of the tourism industry and tourism operators who need to decide whether or not they want this service to work, to grow and to be viable in order to capture a share of the thousands of international tourists looking for exactly the kind of adventure the Nimpkish provides.”

Got that, Discovery Coast tourism folks? If this milk run doesn’t work next year, it will be your fault. Heck, the Nimpkish has free snacks and drinks for your 10-hour voyage, much of it in the dark.

President's message

OBSERVER FILE PHOTO

The annual parade starts at 10 a.m. and works its way along Pioneer Avenue from the downtown core to the fairgrounds.

Catch the shuttle to the fair Summer’s winding down and the fields of the Fraser Valley are ripe with corn which means it must be time for the Agassiz Fall Fair and Corn Festival.

Prospera Credit Union is supporting the Agassiz Agricultural and Horticultural Association as the fair celebrates its 110th anniversary.

As the fair’s platinum spon-

sor, Prospera is providing a free shuttle to the fair on Saturday. The shuttle will run from 9 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 on to the fair. There is free parking at all three churches.

Staff volunteers from the credit

union’s Agassiz and Chilliwack Branches also run the Corn Bank at the fair and Prospera is the main stage sponsor on Saturday.

A proud supporter of the

AGASSIZ FALL FAIR & CORN FESTIVAL...

See you there!

On behalf of the Directors of the Agassiz Agricultural and Horticultural Association, I welcome you to the 110th Agassiz Fall Fair and 66th Corn Festival.

The first fair was held in 1901 and in 2014 we are celebrating the 110th version of our famous fair. A major accomplishment for our area’s residents. As well we have attendees that travel many kilometres to enjoy the best barbequed chicken and corn and as well see the many activities.

This year we are highlighting the honey bee. The honey bee is responsible for pollinating many of the crops that produce our food and is an example to us all in what it is like to be a busy little bee. There will be information on just how the bee makes honey, wax and increases the production of our crops. The blueberry pie eating was so popular last year there will be another chance to see how fast people can get their pie and eat it as well.

The “Poultry in Motion” trailer explains everything you wanted to know about chickens. Enjoy the Farmer's Market and all the exhibits.

A new feature in the “Kid's Zone” is the zucchini races – see how fast your zucchini can race down the track (zucchinis and the wheels are provided). Our entry section and 4-H animal displays will let you see the dedication and hard work of the exhibitors. We have the best Midway in the area with lots of rides

4-H program earns Century Farm Award Youth club started 100 years ago through Department of Agriculture In celebration of 100 years of preparing young British Columbians with agriculture learning and leadership, the B.C. government is presenting B.C. 4-H with $87,000 in funding and a Century Farm Award.

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick made the announcement last month at the 115th annual Interior Provincial Exhibition in Armstrong. The funding grant will support B.C. 4-H programs that help build youth development and leadership in local B.C. 4-H clubs throughout the province.

Originally known as Boys and Girls clubs, B.C. 4-H started in 1914 with more than 200 young people participating in competitions sponsored by the Department of Agriculture. The program originally focused on potatofarming activities and soon after expanded to include popular projects involving poultry, swine, beef and dairy.

Non-agricultural projects

such as arts and crafts were added in the late 1970s as more young British Columbians outside farming communities joined the program.

Today, more than 2,000 young people between the ages of six and 21 years are actively involved in the program in British Columbia. The four Hs stand for head, heart, hands and health, and B.C. 4-H inspires its members to become well-balanced leaders of their communities both as kids and adults.

Century Farm Awards honour agricultural organizations that have been active for 100 years. The Century Farm award program was created in 1994 to mark the centennial of the Ministry of Agriculture.

“The B.C. 4-H program is devoted to our young people and introducing them to the agricultural community. I look forward to continuing our partnership with 4-H as youth programs continue to grow and more young British

Columbians take an interest in expanding their knowledge about farming and agriculture. It’s an honour to present the Century Farm Award to an organization that has supported farmers and their families for 100 years,” said Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick.

Kevin Rothwell, manager or B.C. 4-H added that “B.C. 4-H is honoured to receive the Century Farm award.

Generations of British Columbians have benefited from the 4-H program. Our members, alumni and volunteers have made a lasting contribution to B.C. agriculture and their communities.”

4-H Clubs have been celebrating the milestone throughout the year.

To learn more about becoming a 4-H member, speak with any of the club members at the Agassiz Fall Fair as they tend to their projects. Or, visit the main program’s website online at /www.bc4h.bc.ca/ aboutus.

Agassiz Fall Fair

Hypnotist, Elvis and more on main stage There’s always something entertaining happening on stage during the Agassiz Fall Fair, and the show is always suitable for the whole family.

Friday’s stage show starts with a fascinating show featuring hypnotist Lee Dyson, followed by Agassiz’s own Adam Briscoe. Regulars to the fair have been watching Briscoe develop as a performer over the past several years, from a young singer in high school to the musician he’s become.

Then on Saturday, the stage is home to everything from the opening ceremonies and the crowing of the Corn King or Queen, to the annual goat milking competition.

Participants come from every walk of life to test their skills, with hilarious results.

Entertainers to take the stage Saturday include Jeff Bodner’s Essence of Elvis tribute, the Legion Pipe Band, dancers from Images and Creative Outlet, Adam Briscoe, and more.

And on Saturday night, adults can catch the group Just Smokin’ in the beer gardens.

Of course there is entertainment all around the fairgrounds, with something for everyone.

Kids will love to watch the BMX Bike show, while dads won’t want to miss the logging demonstrations.

Other highlights include Rosie Ribbonstar, wheelbarrow races, logging demonstrations, a pie eating competition, and of course, the exhibits in the Agricultural Hall.

For times and locations of all events, see the schedule on page 10.

Jeff Bodner (above) returns to the stage as Elvis at this year’s Agassiz Fall Fair, along with the very popular hypnotist Lee Dyson (left).

Agassiz Fall Fair

Agassiz’s corn coronation Finding a Corn King or Queen is a scientific adventure, and not a decision that’s made lightly.

It takes a lot of research to pin down the very best crops.

Every year, about 15 farmers will enter their crops into the contest and the corn is studied by scientists from Ag Canada. The judges visit each farm and look at the crops’ appearance, the height of the corn stalks, weed control, and more.

They also take a few strips of the field and count how many plants are in each row, taking careful note of how the corn is populated. The better the yield, the closure a farmer is to becoming the next year’s Corn King, or Queen.

Corn facts • Up to 75% of all grocery items contain corn in some processed form.

Some products that may have corn as an ingredient include: candies, ketchup, soft drinks, ink, latex paint, spark plugs, tire, wallpaper, varnish, dog food, ice cream, chewing gum,

Then, they’ll actually take a few cobs of corn back to them at the research station, to judge the cobs individually for quality.

The crowning of the Corn King or Queen takes place on Saturday on the main stage at 11:15 a.m.

The title of Corn King isn’t the only corn related fun at the fair. Each year features a corn shucking contest for the kids, where they can win prize such as ride coupons. That takes place on the main stage at 12:45 p.m. on Saturday.

And it wouldn’t really be the fair without the fresh cooked corn and barbecued chicken, all made on site by a dedicated bunch of volunteers. margarine, mayonnaise, yogurt.

• An ear of corn has an average of 80 kernels.

• Corn is grown in every continent except Antarctica.

• Corn is a person’s best friend. It’s the best listener (has a good ear) and never talks back!

Mailbag Lack of microphone at public hearing a problem Being new residents in the area, we attended our first public hearing, Aug. 13 at 7 p.m. at the Harrison Mills Community Hall.

Holding such an important FVRD public hearing in mid-August, during a high vacation time period and being the warmest time of year, left us with the feeling that public attendance was curtailed because of the poor scheduling.

Because of the lack of a microphone many people in the audience, especially those at the back of the hall, did not hear the verbal submissions well, if at all. Even ourselves, who sat in the front row, did not hear a good portion of the quieter verbal submissions. We're sure many persons left early because of having to strain to listen.

Considering the importance of the issue, in reality, being the extraction of water and the increasing interest in the selling of it for profit, we feel that the FVRD staff were lacking in their duty by not making sure people could be properly heard . . . after all it was titled a public 'hearing'.

We were surprised that not all seven board members were present. It gave us the impression that those missing members were partial to the rezoning, having already made their up their minds by not taking into consideration the

varied view points expressed during that meeting.

For the FVRD board members to go ahead and vote on such an important issue indirectly involving water extraction, at this time, before the province has the new B.C. Water Sustainability Act, in place sometime next spring, is acting in haste, we feel, and leaves us with the question . . . why so fast?

Since the applicant stated, at the meeting, that if he didn't get the rezoning approval, he would then build a water bottling facility elsewhere. That would mean he could still continue extracting his 25,000 gallons of water per day from his property (and possibly have that amount increased if the re-zoning goes through), trucking the water off site to be processed, while his water bottling facility is under construction elsewhere.

Therefore there would be no disruption to his present bulk water business, as it would be if he were to begin building the new facility on his present property.

Two points that we made note of could not/were not answered by the FVRD staff at that meeting. First, when do water licenses come up for renewal? The meeting focus was on the construction of a water bottling facility in an ecosensitive area that would

Local connection to White House burning There has been a recent fuss in the media about the British celebrating the burning of Washington's White House on Aug. 24, 1814 (200 years ago).

There is a strong local connection.

Our local Agassiz family was granted a coat of arms containing a burning torch in recognition of the efforts of the British officer, Lewis Agassiz, in burning down the White House and much of Washington in retaliation for the burning of Canada`s parliament at York. His son, Lewis Nunn Agassiz, came here from England and founded the town

of Agassiz. Though not large, the Swiss-English Agassiz family has left its mark in the realms of science (Lake Agassiz), watchmaking (Longines), military and religion.

Even beer drinkers should appreciate the fact that Agassiz pioneered the production of hops in B.C. The municipality is called the "District of Kent" in recognition of the English origins of that crop in the County of Kent, often called "the Garden of England". We should be proud that the town is named after such a distinguished family.

John Allen Harrison and Agassiz

have to be re-zoned, changing the OCP from Institutional to Resource Industrial.

We expected that the FVRD would be well-educated on the subject of water as the issue of water is at the forefront in the province and goes hand-in-hand with the bottling of it, in our opinion.

The other point expressed, by a member of the audience, stated as a fact that the extraction of great amounts of water from the area's aquifer may cause nearby slope erosion and/or slides, causing severe damage to both the surrounding surface water

and properties.

The staff 's answer, in our opinion, was that the FVRD staff will make sure that the 8,000 sq. ft. water bottling facility would ha ve adequately built found ations to survive such an event.

It was obvious, in our opinion, that the staff member addressing the statement was not prepared to expand on the original concern as presented.

Water is the new gold!

Precious B.C. water should never be considered a commodity, in our opinion.

Respectfully, W. & M. Sikorra South Lake Errock

Imagine you wake up in the morning, realizing you are almost there! After weeks of walking day after day, enduring heat, rain and all kinds of situations needing your utmost attention, the end of your pilgrimage is at hand! You can hardly believe it and are in a bit of a daze!

Mind you, there are still 20 kilometres to hike including the uphill stretch to Monte Gozo from where, on a clear day, you can see Santiago de Compostela for the first time. And no, it is not a mirage, it is there, the real thing, the end of your pilgrimage. The last five km to the city will lead through dense eucalyptus fields and, as you come closer, you will be joined by more and more pilgrims, many of them arriving by bus for a one-day pilgrimage.

Though you are glad to reach your destination, you also feel sad that your pilgrimage is nearing the end. And then you enter San-

us down enough not only to pay attention to where we are in our body, but also to our breath. Taking time to simply notice our breath while we walk, through the length of our inhales and exhales, and becoming attuned to the way in which we breathe is taking a step towards mindfulness. When we become more mindful, we gradually recognize that the normal flow of our thoughts and feelings are not always related to where we are in the present moment.

Gradually we realize that the connection we have with the earth and ground beneath our feet is all that is. By walking and practicing breathing mindfully we gain a sense of calm and tranquility â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the problems and troubles of the day slowly fade away because we are in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

The simplicity and ease of a walking practice allows us to create time, space and awareness of our surroundings and of the wonders that lie within. Taking a few moments to walk each day and become more aware of our breath will in turn open the door for the beauty of the world around us to filter in.â&#x20AC;?     It has become a habit for pilgrims to look for a perspective at the end of each day and so as I am only pilgriming in spirit, I will try to follow suit: This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life is the ultimate pilgrimage and Santiago de Compostela a celebration of life.â&#x20AC;?
