Giving back through musicJessica PetersTHE OBSERVER

It’s been a notable year for local musician Debbie Bergeron.

Some of the highlights so far include television features, headlining her very own gospel show for the fi rst time, and continuing to develop her partnership with the BC SPCA.

In 2008, she gave them the right to use her original song It’s Christmas Time Again for their campaigns. Working with the animal welfare group has allowed Bergeron to give back through her music to a cause that is close to her heart – and the partnership has blossomed.

Now, one of her songs will be used to help promote another worthy cause, Walk for Justice.

“Th ey asked me if they could use my song Please Don’t Forget Me on their cross country walk to Ottawa,” she says. “I’m very proud of that.”

Walk 4 Justice is a non-profi t organization that hopes to raise awareness and demand justice, closure, equality and accountability for missing and murdered women and their families across Canada.

Earlier this summer, the group was in Hope as they set out for Ottawa, a trip that is expected to end Sept. 19.

"Th e total of missing women and children to date is 4,000," she says. "It makes me so mad. It actually makes me sick."

Lending the use of her song is her way of helping shed light on violence against women and children. She's also partnered up with the Purple Light Nights Campaign, another campaign focused on ending domestic violence.

During the month of October, businesses and residents are encouraged to replace their outside lights with purple bulbs to "shine a light" on the problem. Th e bulbs are available at local retailers each year.

In Hope, Debbie says she's been asked to sing at a special ceremony the District is planning to commemorate the awareness program.

She jumped at the chance to promote awareness, yet again.

"If you're blessed enough to have a talent given to you, use it," she says.

As a woman oft en traveling alone, she has learned many ways to protect herself from harm.

"When I go to Nashville, I'm always alone," she says. "I have been one to talk about safety rules for quite a long time now, and I really try hard to practice those safety rules. I try to practice what I preach."

Her main tip is to always be aware of the situation around you, and examine if you're safe in each situation. Sitting in your car in a parking lot alone, with the doors unlocked, is probably not the best situation, for example.

But it's not all seriousness for

Bergeron, who laughs oft en during an interview with Th e Observer.

One of the most fun experiences she's had recently was writing a song for the Canada's Hockey Anthem Challenge.

While she's not a hockey fan, she knew enough about it to write a little song that was well received by online voters. She'll be singing that in her upcoming concert at Bozzini's in Chilliwack, Th ursday, Sept. 15.

Th e show will include songs and stories spanning Bergeron's many years as an entertainer.

And this weekend, she's been invited to perform in Prais'n Him Southern Style, a Southern Gospel Weekend at the Mountainview

Conference Centre at Camp Hope. She's among a lineup of gospel

singers from around North America, including Denise Kellerman, Rayann, Garry Jesperson, Keepers of the Faith and Bassiano.

"I went last year as an audience member, and this year I was asked to join," she says.

All weekend, she'll be rubbing elbows with other like-minded musicians, and the big concert is on Saturday, Sept. 10.

For more information on this weekend's gospel event, phone 604-869-2615.

For more information on the concert at Bozzini's, phone 604-792-0744.

Young man shares his experienceAutism not to be feared

Jessica Peters THE OBSERVER

Autism is a disability that can isolate a child from his parents, family members, caregivers and teachers, very quickly.

But it doesn’t have to be that way, according to a young man who has Asperger’s syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism.

Myles McKie has been speak-

ing publicly about his condition for several years now, since he was a teenager, explaining what he went through as a child and stressing the importance of pa-tience and communication. His next talk is in Agassiz on Tues-day, Sept. 13 at 6 p.m. at Kent el-ementary.

Do Not Fear What You Do Not Know is an open discussion

and McKie encourages audiencemembers to ask questions aboutautism and Asperger’s.

Th e event is free and open to the public. Th ose wishing to at-tend can RSVP Kent elementary’sPrincipal Chris Wejr at [email protected] or 604-796-2161.

New app for Terry Fox donationsTh e Terry Fox Foundation has

a new tool to make it easier for donors to send cash.

Th e Terry Fox Foundation launched its fundraising app for iPhone and Android phones two weeks ago to coincide with this month’s annual Terry Fox Run (Sept. 18) and National School Run Day (Sept. 28).

Participants who are registered online for Fox runs can use the app to track their donations, send emails to potential sponsors, re-ceive credit card or PayPal do-nations, and leave messages. As well, their updates can be shared via social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter.

Roberto Cellere, who works in the charity’s Quebec offi ce, helped introduce the program in just a few weeks — and at a low cost — with Artez Interactive, the foundation’s online fundraising solutions and

e-commerce provider.“Th e app was created to give

the foundation the ability to leverage the power of mobile technology to the fullest extent possible,” Cellere said, adding, “In 2010, the foundation expe-rienced a signifi cant increase in online fundraising revenues and that success provided the im-petus to move forward with the next logical step, which is giving our online participants the latest in fundraising technology.”

Th e 30th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run proved to be a fi nancial boon for the organiza-tion, collecting $28.7 million in the fi scal year ending March 31, 2011 — up more than $3.3 mil-lion over the previous year. Of every dollar raised, 85 cents is spent directly on cancer research programs.

Since it started, the foundation

has brought in more than $500 million to fi ght the disease that claimed Fox’s life in 1981. For more information on the app, visit www.terryfoxrun.org.

Where To RunIn Hope, the Terry Fox Run will

start at the Hope Recreation Cen-tre at 1005 6th Avenue. Registra-tion starts at 8 p.m. and the run starts at 9 a.m. Th ere will be a 10 km and 5 km run, and the course is suitable for bikes, wheelchairs, strollers and rollerblades. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash.

In Harrison, a tentative time for a run has been set. Registra-tion will begin at 9 a.m. at the Harrison Plaza, and the run will start at 10 a.m. Th ere will be a 10 km, 1 km, 2 km and 5 km run.

News

Last Thursday was a quiet one for fishing at the Scale Bar, on Lougheed Hwy between Agassiz and Hope, so Hope Camera Club member Ray Daws traded in his fishing rod for his camera to capture this shot of a fellow fisherman.

OBSERVER FILE PHOTO


Bill Vander Zalm’s most fantastic claim after the defeat of the harmonized sales tax was that B.C. could go back to the old provincial sales tax in six weeks if the government wanted to.

Remember, this is the guy who once fi gured he could run an election campaign out of his car. He also promised to cut the price of beer, and then once elected, brought in a property purchase tax instead, without consultation. But I digress.

Vander Zalm’s typically sim-plistic analysis soon gave rise to another conspiracy theory. That’s the one that holds that the B.C. Liberals are dragging their feet on reinstating the old provincial sales tax so they

can rake in added revenue for another 18 months. That would help repay the federal government $1.6 billion for the transition fund that helped B.C. institute the HST.

The fi nance ministry pro-vided some details to get a better sense of the task ahead. First, there are 70,000 busi-nesses in B.C. that switched their accounting and point-of-sale systems to the HST. It’s not likely that they kept notes, hardware and software on hand in anticipation of having to switch back.

Then there are the roughly 1,000 businesses that start up each month in B.C. Assuming most of that continues, by the time the federal and provincial governments undo the HST in March 2013, there will be thou-sands of businesses that have no experience dealing with the PST. They’re in for an unpleas-ant surprise.

Here’s one example. Smart

Tax Alliance co-chair Mike Jag-ger got involved in the effort to defend the HST because of his experience running a security company in Vancouver. Due to the ambiguous nature of the PST rules, he got expert advice on how to pay the tax. Three

different experts gave him three different answers.

You have probably heard by now that after the rejection of the HST by 55 per cent of voters, the PST is to be reinstated as it was before July 2010.

Finance Minister Kevin Fal-con vowed, “I can assure British Columbians PST will not be

applied to such items as res-taurant meals, bikes and gym memberships – just as it was before the HST was introduced in B.C.”

That sounds pretty defi nitive. But I’ve learned in the last two years that there is seldom a simple answer with sales taxes.

For instance, should B.C. reduce tobacco taxes by seven per cent? Unless you’re a smoker, you probably didn’t notice that the HST raised the price of cigarettes by that amount. Tobacco was PST exempt, with the province historically having chosen to impose a separate “sin tax” instead.

Liquor taxes also went down under HST, from a 10-per-cent provincial tax to seven per cent. The B.C. government increased the Liquor Distribu-tion Branch markup to hold onto the revenue, billing it as a policy move so as not to encour-age drinking.

The hotel room tax also went down by a point under HST. Should that be raised? These are policy decisions that still must be made, with the province still in defi cit.

• A correction to last week’s column: I referred to a PST reduction for Toyota Prius hybrids, suggesting it would be restored.

In fact this tax break had a sunset clause, and would have expired in March 2011 in any case. B.C.’s 2008 “green budget” brought in a series of PST incentives for fuel-effi cient vehicles, from $1,000 to $2,000 depending on how carbon-effi cient they were. PST exemptions were also extended to Energy Star appliances.

The centerpiece of that bud-get was the carbon tax.

Tough sales tax choices remain

Lesson of the day:Slow down now

While the sunny skies and warm temperatures might have us thinking of a few last summer activities to squeeze into our schedules, we shouldn’t be too quick to gloss over the arrival of September — and with it the return of school children on our streets and sidewalks.

Children headed back to school this week, and drivers are reminded to use extra precaution as they head out on the road this week.

Every year in B.C., an average of more than 16,000 children between the ages of fi ve and 18 are involved in crashes, resulting in 5,215 injuries and 34 deaths.

Many youngsters will be heading off to school for the fi rst time, while others will be caught up in the excitement of seeing friends for the fi rst time since school let out for the summer. Drivers should keep this in mind and be alert to the possibility of children darting out into traffi c. Drivers are also asked to leave a little extra time to reach their destination, and to always watch out for pedestrians when backing up.

Th e 30 km/h school zones are back in eff ect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday, and drivers are urged to be aware that vehicles stopped in front of or beside you may be yielding for a pedestrian.

When dropping off children in a school zone, parents should have them exit on the side nearest the sidewalk. Parents should also sit down with their children to stress the importance of safety on the way to and from school. It is also recommended that students put away their MP3 players, phones and other gadgets so they can focus their full attention on the road.

We all have a role to play to ensure this school year isn’t marred by tra-gedy.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Th ere have been some references to the present Harrison council making improvements to the swimming beach, but aside from removing a previous council’s ugly “carport” and rock pile at the end of Hot Springs Road that is not what is actually happening. Present council members obviously know nothing about swimming beaches, and the people they have hired are apparently just as ignorant.

Th ey are not improving the beach, they are destroying it.

Beach sand has its own high value, it is not a cheap material for building parking lots and grassy areas.

Rocks and concrete do not enhance a beach, they degrade it. (City people have concrete of their own, they don’t need to come to Harrison to see it.)

Th e fi rst thing a swimming beach needs is water warm enough for comfortable swimming. At Harrison that is found only in the lagoon, where the summer winds

can’t blow it away. It is for this that the lagoon was built.

Th e water in the lagoon fl ows in and out underground with the lake level. It is, by regular test, perfectly clean and pure. Th ere was originally a serious problem because there was a steep drop-off into the trench the beach sand was dredged from, which was dangerous to waders when the water was low, but that has been fi xed. Remaining problems are the weeds, which were always there, and the goose poop and the swimmers itch, which are recent arrivals.

For the weeds and the geese there are proven solutions, they just aren’t being applied. In the past, removing the weeds every year was too expensive but thanks to a huge annual grant from the province for promoting tourism there is plenty of money to do it now.

Th e second thing a swimming beach needs is a slope fl at enough for comfortable sunbathing, and where the water level has

as great a rise and fall as it does in Harrison Lake that requires a wide sweep of sand. Sure, a bothersome amount of sand blows some winters. Th at can be partially controlled and has proved tolerable over half a century. Also the sand was there before the people who complain about it chose to build or live beside it.

(Note that the short bit of the beach for which council discussed seeking international recognition fails both basic requirements of a swimming beach, the water is too cold and the slope is too steep for comfort.)

Past councils that didn’t understand beaches have spent a great deal of public money doing well-intended things that were destructive to Harrison’s beach, and later councils have had to spend a great deal more public money to partially correct them. Unfortunately a lot of damage remains, and now we see that same cycle underway again.

Many people are unaware of the best way to recycle milk, cream and milk substitute containers.

Bringing them to the Return-It Depot guarantees they’ll be turned into something useful like

cardboard boxes and tissue paper. So why not change your good habits. Return your milk containers

with your refundable beverage containers. It’s easy. Quickly rinse them out and crush them.

Remove any caps and bring them too, because they get recycled separately. There’s no refund on milk

empties because there’s no deposit when you buy, but you’ll be doing the right thing. So on

your next trip to Return-It, bring the udder ones too.

NOW YOU KNOW WHERE THEY SHOULD GO.

While I’m fl attered with John Green’s nom-ination, I don’t be-lieve these footbridges should carry the names of people, dead or alive. Th e Harrison Pathways plan which I fought for in 1983 includes several such river crossings. From a geographer’s point of view, these should be named for the streets they connect. Th us, for ease of iden-tifi cation and location, we should have the Ma-ple Street, Riverbend, Springs Park, Walnut and Balsam footbridges across the Meama Riv-er. I don’t begrudge Ruth Altendorf any honour or recognition but believe that sentiment should give way to practicality in the naming of such transportation links.

Historically, only two former mayors have been immortalised in Harrison place names. Colonel Naismith in-corporated Harrison in 1949 and Buster Mc-Combs laid down the North-South arterial

Road which carries his name. Council should be looking for an oppor-tunity to recognise the visionary mayor who

created Harrison’s tour-ism industry by building our beach, John Green. It is unfortunate that they continue to degrade

that wonderful beach by fi lling it with concrete, rocks and other non-beach urban elements and making it resemble

Surrey Centre rather re-fl ect the rustic beauty of Harrison Lake.

We need to look back, to look forward

Funny, it never en-tered my mind until I read John Green’s let-ter to the editor in last week’s Agassiz-Har-rison-Hope Observer edition. Th is happened, perhaps, because when I look at “my bridge”, I see a bridge that has a very elegant and ro-mantic outline — femi-nine, if you will. In my mind I can see children crossing it on the way to school, housewives short-cutting to the downtown area or vis-iting each other.

When I think of a bridge suitable to hon-our John Allen, other attributes come to my mind such as “big, bold

and manly.” Not that I think John cannot be romantic, far from it. But his main char-acteristics are diff erent and we have to fi nd a bridge more suitable for him.

In my opinion, his bridge should be part of a main artery run-ning through the town such as the one bridg-ing the Miama River at Hot Springs Road. It would be close to all he loves: Th ere is his home, now a country club, the Village Offi ce he so frequently occu-pied, the beach he of-ten visited on his dune buggy, the Memorial Hall he never passed without coming in to check out what was go-ing on, a pub and the river running through it all. But, since this bridge might not be ours to name (being

under the provincial jurisdiction), we should search for something equally suitable — an-other bridge, a moun-tain perhaps, or a look-out! Let’s be inspired, it is not oft en we have a chance to do so!

Th ings have calmed at Harrison Hot Springs, as they usu-ally do at this time of the year. But, not com-pletely!

Unfortunately, I missed a great weekend

at the beach due to my eye operation. Th ere was the craft show at the Memorial Hall hosted by the Har-rison Festival of the Arts. Th ere was also the opening of the new bandshell on the beach followed by an aft ernoon of concerts which I hear was en-joyed by many people. Over at the Ranger Sta-tion Art Gallery there was the opening of the September Show — a photography display of the works of Jutta and Michael Schulz.

I might walk over there, since walking is next on my list I have given it a headstart this summer, which might be of help. Also, with both eyes done now (I just had the second cataract op-eration Wednesday, a week ago) I am look-ing forward to be able to read books again. It is amazing how much one misses what one cannot have!

Luckily, I was able to read the newspaper all along. Th is week, I es-pecially enjoyed Terrill Scott’s and Jacquelynne Garden’s articles about library summer activi-ties and a book club for

the winter. It sounds like a lot of fun and I wish them all the best,especially the book club. Perhaps I can be-come an “imaginary”book club member. Ihave to fi nd out!

I will also join my family in getting ready for my grandson An-drew’s wedding toKhristy, a very beauti-ful and all around nice girl! Th ere is somethingvery special about wed-dings and to be part of it is always an honour.

Th ere are two more visits to Minter Gar-dens marked on my calendar and lunch with the Harrison Hot Springs Social Club at Kilby Historic Site’s Harrison River Restau-rant. I will try to do it all. We are so lucky to have such a super gar-den relatively close by and I really want to see what they are doing at the Kilby Historic Site. I have to say that I am very, very happy thatthey received the mon-ey to restore it.

Humble as thesebuildings are, they are our history and we need them. We have to be able to look back if we want to be able to look forward!

‘Let the little children come to me’

Submitted by Father John TritschlerST. ANTHONY’S CATHOLIC CHURCH

Some 25 years ago, the CBC Radio daily documentary Ideas pro-gram devoted an hour biographical sketch to the life of Blessed Marie of the Incarnation.

Marie was a young widow who left France and settled in Quebec City in the mid 1600s. She opened the fi rst day school in North Amer-ica for native children. She taught the children their Catholic cate-chism. In turn the chil-dren went home each evening and relayed to their parents what they had been taught in their religion class.

Children can become the bearers of the Good News of Jesus Christ to their parents and others… “out of the mouths of babes” Mt. 21:16, Ps.8:2. Children receive the message of

Jesus and his Church with an open mind.

How oft en parents are encouraged to come back to Church, to pray as a family, to reconcile with God, through the example of their child. Having a child receive religious instruction has oft en been a redeem-ing blessing for parents who have benefi ted from looking into the child’s catechism book, or asking their child what they learned, or from having their child ask them some question which opens their adult

soul to the light of Jesus Christ. Having a child take catechism can re-vive the religious prac-tice of the whole family.

P.R.E.P. Catechism classes begin at St. Anthony’s CatholicChurch, 7237 Mor-row Rd., Agassiz, onWednesday Sept. 21, 3p.m. to 4 p.m. for chil-dren in Grades 1-7, and 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.for high school stu-dents. Registration will take place at St. Antho-ny’s Church aft er the 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. masseson Sept. 11.

Whale spotted ‘churning’lake water into a fury

50 Years Ago, 1961• A whale was sighted in Harri-

son Lake, spouting water up to 20 feet high in the channel between Echo Island and the east shore of the lake. Local residents and hotel guests reported seeing the animal churning the water “into fury”, causing echoes of the tremendous splashing to roll across the lake. It lingered in the lake for several days, providing many sightings and thrilling onlookers. Th is was not the fi rst whale to visit Harrison Lake. Indian lore told a story of how two natives fi shing in a dug-out canoe on the Harrison River in long-ago times had their craft raised above the surface on the back of a whale and carried some distance. Th at whale got stranded on a sandbar near the slave village of Heclan, now an Indian ceme-tery. Th e whale was slaughtered by

spears and its heart was preserved and passed on from one genera-tion to another for many genera-tions. Another sighting in the lake was recorded on August 27, 1936 and was reported in the Vancou-ver Daily Province.

• Another Klondyke Days was held at Harrison Hot Springs but bad weather spoiled the aff air. Th ree dances were held, highlight-ed by a bonus performance of the can-can by the “Klondyke Nug-gets”. Due to the bad weather, the speed boat races drew only a few boats although the hotel water ski club put on a good display. Th e Iowa Colored Ghosts demonstrat-ed some of their soft ball skills in the aft ernoon despite the drizzle. However, the Sunday evening’s game against a valley all-star team was rained out. Th e bad weather caused a big disappointment for

the sponsors, volunteers and par-ticipants.

• Th e employees of the AgassizCorrectional Camp completed afour-week course as part of theirtraining, followed by a one-week stint at the BC Penitentiary at New Westminster before starting work at the new Correctional Camp atSeabird Island. Nineteen full-time workers participated.

• Th e District of Kent gave ap-proval for construction of a new ho-tel west of Agassiz on the LougheedHighway. Th is hotel would become the Kent Hotel, and was later re-named the Cross Roads Hotel. Approval was also given for a new hotel on the site of the Bella Vista Hotel on Pioneer Street, although later it was learned that the Attor-ney General would only issue one liquor license for the area and only the Kent Hotel was actually built.

Community ECHOES FROM THE PAST

Next weekend will not only mark the 107th Agassiz Fall Fair for the entire community. It is also the 60th anniversa-ry for the Agassiz High School's 1951 graduat-ing class.

Muriel Fedorkew is one of the original 15

graduates from that year, and still lives in Agassiz. She and 10 other 1951 graduates will be spending next weekend reuniting, with several planned events.

Th ere will be a meet and greet at the Friend-ship House on Friday,

Sept. 16 at 3:30 p.m., hosted by Sonja and Orest Gorchynski of California. Th at event will run for two hours and is open to well-wishers.

Th e group and their spouses and guests will then have dinner at Sil-

vano's. On the following day,

Sept.17, they'll meet for a wind-up barbecue atthe home of fellow 1951 Agassiz graduate, TedWestlin.

Th e group also plans to take in events at the Agassiz Fall Fair.

Cancer Patients Need Rides Cancer treatment often requires a patient to

travel to their treatment centre on a daily or weekly basis. The appointments

can be lengthy, scheduled at different daily times & are usually during business

hours, Monday to Friday. This often presents diffi culty for a family where other

members are working & already carrying a greater load to ease the burden on

the family member with cancer. In this situation, a volunteer driver program can

step in & make a tremendous contribution to the well being of an entire family.

The Canadian Cancer Society Volunteer Driver program in Chilliwack is in

need of volunteer drivers from the Agassiz area to take patients to & from their

treatment. Training & dispatch are provided. Time commitments are fl exible.

If you are interested in further information about this volunteer opportunity,

please contact Christina Chenard, Volunteer Engagement Coordinator toll free

at 1-888-222-2240 Ext 338 or email [email protected] .
