Arson destroys Tamihi equipment
Jessica Peters THE OBSERVER
Five employees at Tamihi Logging have had to be laid off after a massive arson destroyed several pieces of heavy duty equipment.
RCMP say they are thoroughly investigating the incident, which happened about 11.5 km up the Mount Woodside Forest Service Road earlier this month. The arson was reported by the company when they found their equipment destroyed on the morning of July 3. The incident could have happened anytime between then, and June 28 at 3 p.m.
Tamihi owner Brian Dorman said it's going to take some time to recoup from the damage, which he estimates to be about $900,000.
Some of the equipment is irreplaceable, Dorman said, because it's not even made anymore. Because of the machinery's size, it will have to be deconstructed to be removed from the site.
A 1997 Volvo A25-C rock truck (dump truck), a 2004 John Deere 2554 Excavator, and a Finning M32 Rock Dill destroyed by fire.
"New replacement value is a $1.5 million," Dorman said.
This isn't the first time the company has been hit by vandals. Dorman said it's a "chronic problem" and they're determined to find out who is behind it.
They previously offered a $5,000 reward for other damages, but have now increased that reward to $20,000.
"They're going to put us out of business otherwise," Dorman said. "This is really serious. I've had to lay five guys for the short term. Those are five people that aren't
able to feed their families." RCMP confirm they are treating
the case very seriously. "At this point, this investigation
is being investigated as an arson," said Corporal Tammy
Hollingsworth. "Tamihi Logging Company has suffered a significant loss and would like the person or persons responsible to come forward and be held accountable."
Anyone with information
regarding this intentional destruction of equipment is asked to call the Agassiz RCMP at 604-796-2211 or leave an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

OCP change sees third reading after public hearing
Kingma complex getting closer to realityJessica PetersTHE OBSERVER
A plan for a townhouse development that has been churning through Harrison Hot Springs council for two years got a little closer to being re-alized this week.
Kingma Brothers De-velopments is hoping to turn a four-acre strip of land along Hot Springs Road into a 26-unit com-plex. Some of that land
would be gift ed back to the Village for trail use along the Miami River.
Th e land in question is right across from the Village offi ce, and is cur-rently categorized as “re-source” land. Over the past two years, council has requested a number of documents and studies from the developer, and all of those requests have been met to date. Th ose include a traffi c study, an
arborist study and, due to the proximity to the slough, a riparian assess-ment and approval from the Ministry of Environ-ment and Department of Fisheries.
In addition, the initial plan revealed in 2010 called for 50 units, a size that was knocked down to 26 aft er previous con-sultation with the public.
Th e satisfaction of those requirements has prompted the next step in the process, which is to change the designation of the land to “medium density residential” from resource, as it is currently named in the Village’s Of-fi cial Community Plan. Th e zoning bylaw also needs to be amended to include a new “compre-hensive development zone” that staff said will apply only to this particu-lar parcel of land.
Th e OCP change and bylaw amendment had received second read-ing at a previous council
meeting, and went to a public hearing on Mon-day night. Th at hearing went for about 85 min-utes, and was followed by a regular council meeting. At the council meeting, council eventually gave the changes a third read-ing. Th ey will come up for adoption at a future meeting, possibly on the next scheduled meeting for August 13.
Neither of the Kingma brothers were in atten-dance at the hearing, but their representative, Ryan Anderson, was there to discuss concerns.
During the hearing, about a half dozen resi-dents spoke against the proposal for various rea-sons.
Some worried that the creation of a comprehen-sive development zone on land that was previously pegged as resource and earmarked as resource in a future land use desig-nation map, would set a precedent for other green space to be turned into housing developments.
Andre Isakov, Com-munity & Economic De-velopment Offi cer for the Village, said that he did not see the bylaw amend-ment as precedent set-ting, as it applies only to the one property.
But none were more
vocally opposed than John Allen, who spoke three times during the hearing.
“I don’t know what we’re doing here when this is so contrary to the OCP,” he said. “We have a good and legitimate claim for this land to be parkland. Council should simply say no ... reject the development.”
While the public hear-ing was only to discuss the land use changes, dis-cussion oft en drift ed onto issues related to the pro-posed development.
Some residents are concerned that the ad-dition of 26 units on the already busy Hot Springs Road will increase traffi c problems. Bunt and As-sociates were hired by the developer to study traffi c
fl ow, and council has ac-cepted the result of that study.
Th e long discussion put an obvious seed of doubt in some members of council’s minds, in-cluding Sonja Reyerse.
“Someone said it could be precedent setting, and I’d like to (have that clari-fi ed),” she said. “If we are contravening everything
in the OCP how is it that is sat at this table and got this far?”
John Buckley initially moved to have the issue tabled to be able to get more information about the development.
Reyerse seconded the motion at fi rst, but aft er more discussion, she re-scinded that second.
Councillor Zoltan Kiss said he would have liked
to have seen the reports from Bunt and Associ-ates, and the arborist’s report before making adecision.
Councillor Allan Jack-son is the only memberof council to remain from the previous coun-cil which dealt with the proposal and set out the requirements.
“What further infor-mation could there be?” he asked the other coun-cillors. “Every time we have a proposal come to council we have the same people come to speak against it, (saying) the sky is falling. It would be nice to see something positivehappening.”
In the end, the amend-ments received a thirdreading, with Kiss andBuckley opposed. In fa-vour were Jackson, Rey-erse and Mayor Leo Facio.
Facio said the Village must fi nd ways to sup-port development, to be able to thrive and provideservices to its residents.
“Money doesn’t just drop from heaven,” hesaid.
If the adoption of theOCP change and bylaw amendment passes, Isa-kov said the developer’snext step would be to ei-ther apply to subdividethe property, or request adevelopment permit.

Britco, Seabird Island Band sign jobs agreement
Robert FreemanBLACK PRESS
Th e Seabird Island Band has signed a jobs agreement with Brit-co, linking the growing Agassiz employer with students at Seabird College and clients at the Seabird Island employment centre.
Eligible students can now get the work experience they need close to home to graduate from construction-related trades pro-grams, and Britco gets a skilled labour pool right at its doorstep.
“It’s a great opportunity for First Nations students, and a nat-ural for the company,” said Chris Gardner, Britco executive vice president.
“We’ve made investing in edu-cation and training initiatives a key priority for us,” he said, to develop job skills needed by both native and non-native students as a shortage of skilled labour looms in B.C.
Th e B.C. government says 80 per cent of the million jobs open-ing up in the province over the next 10-15 years will require post-secondary training.
“We think a partnership like
this is an innovative way to ad-dress that need,” Gardner said.
Seabird Chief Clement Sey-mour said the goal of the partner-ship “is to increase the employ-ability and employment rate of people in our community.”
“We are proud to work with Britco to provide high-quality education and training opportu-nities for our members,” he said.
Unlike other post-secondary facilities, Seabird College off ers highschool graduation programs for adults and training for a wide range of professions.
About 60 per cent of students living on First Nations reserves in Canada have not completed high school, compared to 17 per cent in the population at large.
Diane Janzen, Seabird Island’s education manager, said the col-lege is a long-held vision of band members to address that gradua-tion statistic, and a growing part of the broader community.
Th e college off ers band mem-bers education and training with-out the need to leave the reserve, and additional “wrap-around ser-vices” like a job placement offi cer
to help fi nd employment.“Th is is the culmination of a
dream that’s been going on for 50 years,” Janzen said.
“Th e vision goes way back to a group of (Seabird Island) women in the ’60s and ’70s with their own vision for education,” she said, which was carried forward “by chiefs and councillors who have always valued education.”
Th e college is also looking at working with B.C. Transit on be-coming part of a new bus run be-tween Agassiz and Hope.
Gardner said the July 11 agree-ment “really refl ects the long-standing relationship and part-nership” the company has with the Seabird Island Band.
Britco, the second largest man-ufacturers of modular buildings in North America, has more than 200 employees at its “fl agship” plant in Agassiz, and 10 per cent of those are First Nations.
Th e company expanded its workforce by 40 per cent last year, and expects to expand by another 30-40 per cent this year, so stu-dents may fi nd permanent jobs there.
NewsTree climbers converge on
AgassizYou may not know
it, but there's an art to climbing a tree.
And on Saturday, July 14, the best tree climbers will converge in Agassiz at the Research Centre for the BC Tree Climbing Championships.
Ryan Senechal, event coordinator, is expecting 30 competitors. While most of them will reign from communities across B.C. he said there could be challengers from Washington and Oregon.
"Th is is not the tree climbing you remember from your childhood," he said. "Th e tree climbing competition simulates working conditions of arborists in the fi eld."
It takes a lot of fi nesse to move around treetops all day, and working aloft is common for arborists. Th ey use ropes and harnesses to safely perform skillful tasks, all in an eff ort to care for and maintain trees.
Saturday's event is open to the public. Male and female competitors perform fi ve diff erent events during the preliminary round.
Preliminary events will be taking place from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. at which time the fi nals begin. Th e event will wrap up around 5 p.m.
Wednesday was Children’s Day at the Harrison Festival of the Arts, and volunteers helped kids make crafts as part of the festivities. The festi-val runs until this Sunday along the beach. For more festival photos and information, see page 13.

One large committee has been created to deal with Parks, Beaches and Leisure Services in the Village of Harrison Hot Springs.
Th e one large com-mittee replaces three that were dissolved on Mon-day night “in order to reduce the workload of council.”
Th e new Parks, Beach-es and Leisure Services committee was to include Councillor John Buckley as chair and Councillor Sonja Reyerse as co-chair.
Members of the com-munity appointed to the committee were Michael
Scott, Linda Marks, Don-na Cooney, Janne Perrin, Elizabeth Mueller and Liz Webber.
Councillor Zoltan Kiss was the only councillor who voted against the change, saying “there is so much information and so little time discuss, I would not be in favour of amal-gamating them.”
Th e committees dis-solved were the Parks and Trails, Beach and Fore-shore and Recreation.
Th e new commit-tee was one of a series of streamlining changes among council roles on Monday night.
A new Advisory Plan-ning Council was estab-
lished on June 18, and council appointed Danny Crowell as chair and Bri-an Bignell as vice chair.
Th ere was also some shuffl ing of council roles in the community.
Th ose changes include removing Kiss as liaison for the Fraser Valley Re-gional Library Board, and putting Councillor Al-lan Jackson in his place. Councillor Sonja Reyerse will be the alternate.

See a bear in your backyard? Try banging pots and pans to scare it away.
Have bears in your communi-ty? Th en you better call the Bear Aware program.
Chris Ovens, from FVRD Bear Aware, addressed Harrison Hot Springs council on Monday night to let them know how the new program will work, and why it's been started.
With council's approval, Ov-ens and a summer student will be working on creating awareness among residents.
One of the ways they'll be do-ing this is by attaching a yellow sticker onto garbage cans that are placed out the evening before garbage day.
Garbage cans are one of the most common bear attractants, and can be reduced by putting out cans as close to pick up as possible.
Ovens will be conducting "gar-bage tagging" in communities through the FVRD, and compil-ing information for the munici-palities future use. Th e stickers are in no way a fi ne, Ovens said.
In Harrison, they'll be coming out on Wednesday nights. Ov-
ens is hoping that residents will fi nd ways to put out their cans onTh ursday mornings for pickup.
He has also been speaking with Village staff about creating signage to further the awarenesscampaign.
Th ere will be no fee to the Vil-lage for the program, which is being conducted through theregional district in Agassiz, Har-rison Hot Springs, Hope, Chilli-wack and Laidlaw.
Participating in the Bear Aware program is just one small step toward becoming a Bear Smartcommunity, Ovens said.

B.C.'s new Independent Investiga-tions Offi ce (IIO) will open Sept. 10, providing a civilian-led unit to probe deaths and incidents of serious harm involving police offi cers.
Th e opening comes several months late and two years aft er the province fi rst committed to creating a police in-vestigations agency headed by civilians, so police forces no longer investigate each other.
"Th e goal of the IIO is to conduct fair, competent, bias-free investigations
in a timely fashion and publicly report on the results of our investigations," said IIO chief civilian director Richard Rosenthal.
Twenty-six investigators have been hired so far and the unit is to have a total of 60 investigators, management and other administrative staff once fully operational.
Investigators must not have served as police offi cers in B.C. within the last fi ve years, and police are compelled by law to report incidents under its mandate.

Greater Vancouver home sales hit a 10-year low in June, down more than 27 per cent from a year ago.
Th e Real Estate Board of Greater Van-couver called it further evidence of a buyer's market where potential purchasers have more to choose from and don't have to race to beat out other bidders.
Despite weakening sales there's been little sign so far of home
prices dropping signifi -cantly.
Th e benchmark resi-dential property price declined 0.7 per cent from May to June and was still up 1.7 per cent from a year ago.
Benchmark prices ranged from $961,600 for single detached hous-es (up 3.3 per cent from June 2011) to $376,200 for condos (up 0.3 per cent) and $468,400 for attached homes (down 0.1 per cent.)
Sales counted by the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board were down eight per cent since June 2011, although the realtor as-sociation said the ratio of sales to listings in the Valley has held steady.
Fraser Valley bench-mark prices for detached houses were up 3.6 per cent from a year ago to $551,000 in June, while townhouses held even at $305,000 and condos were up 0.7 per cent to $203,600.

Th e phenomenon of smoke waft -ing here from wildfi res in Siberia is no longer a signifi cant factor behind hazy skies over the Lower Mainland, accord-ing to Metro Vancouver offi cials.
Russian fi res were blamed Monday by Metro air quality offi cials for a near-doubling in fi ne particulate levels over the past weekend.
"Th e situation is now changing," Metro Vancouver spokesman Glenn Bohn said Wednesday. "Th e infl u-ence of smoke from the Asian fi res has mostly ended. Th e concentrations of
fi ne particulates have decreased."But he said fi res burning in Wash-
ington, Oregon, Idaho and California could send more smoke into B.C. in the days ahead, depending on the weather.
So far Metro offi cials are watching conditions and haven't yet issued any air quality advisories.
Air quality experts recently unveiled a new website that rates air visibility at key sites around the Lower Mainland using a network of automated cameras. Th e ratings and images can be viewed at clearairbc.ca.

VICTORIA – Shortly aft er word came of the death of B.C. historian and politician Bill Barlee, my wife searched through her seemingly endless trove of B.C. books and produced half a dozen of his original self-published quarterlies, known as Canada West magazine.
Th e earliest one is Winter 1970, where the publisher’s note advises that subscription rates were increasing 20 cents per year to $2.95. Subscriptions were up to more than 1,600 and counter sales were increasing, but costs were also up and Barlee refused to accept either display advertising or U.S. subscriptions.
Th e only colour pages in the issue are high-quality prints of four majestic paintings commissioned for the magazine. Irvine Adams’
scenes of sacred aboriginal sites in the Okanagan-Similkameen include Th e Gateway to Inkameep, where Barlee remarks: “Today that stream which once teemed with redfi sh no longer surrenders its once-valued harvest and the perimeter of the desert is gradually being eroded by man’s questionable progress.”
With the typography of Old West wanted posters, Barlee provided tightly sourced accounts of B.C.’s legends.
“Lost gold mine at Pitt Lake” analyzes and adds to earlier accounts that begin with an aboriginal miner known as Slumach, who would periodically arrive in New Westminster to squander a small fortune in gold, then disappear up the remote tidal lake. Slumach was hanged for murder in 1891 and in the next 70 years, 11 more men would die trying to fi nd his secret. A scientist as well as a storyteller, Barlee concluded that the area’s
geology is wrong and the fabled gold-laden creek “probably does not exist.”
A passion for prospecting runs through the magazines, and hints at Barlee’s aversion to treasure-
seeking Americans. Th ey overran B.C. in historic waves to take gold, and according to Nelson Star reporter Greg Nesteroff , Barlee believed they continued to loot Canadian heritage sites.
Nesteroff was inspired by Barlee’s work, and traced his lonely mission to restore the ghost town of Sandon, “the mining capital of the Silvery Slocan.”
Barlee bought a surviving block of buildings in an eff ort to make Sandon another Barkerville, but heavy snow collapsed them. As tourism minister, Barlee found money to build replicas, and construction began on three.
But Barlee lost his Penticton seat to Bill Barisoff in the 1996 election, and today only half-built shells remain.
“He was still selling Sandon’s restoration as an economic saviour for the region when he ran for federal offi ce in 2000,” Nesteroff writes. “But by then he was ridiculed for it, and fi nished a distant second.”
Barlee’s 1972 Canada West profi le of the boomtown of Hedley would resonate in his career as an NDP MLA and cabinet minister in the 1990s. Hedley’s Nickel Plate and Mascot mines produced fortunes in gold, silver and copper before they played out, and Barlee led the fi ght to preserve their history.
Today you can tour the Mascot mine, a proud historical site with a spectacular climb up the rock face that serves as the Grouse Grind of the B.C. desert.
I fi rst discovered Barlee as a reporter at the Kelowna Capital News in the early 1980s, when he did a weekly history show on CHBC television called Gold Trails and Ghost Towns. A bare-bones studio aff air with tales and artifacts displayed for host Mike Roberts, the show lasted a decade.
Barlee didn’t lack courage, quitting a teaching career in Trail and Penticton in 1969 to start his magazine. On subscription fees and a few classifi ed ads, he built a life’s work that allowed him to walk the boardwalks of history and the halls of power.

Open the doors to growth
Over the next few weeks, Harrison Hot Springs council has a tough decision in front of them. Th ey'll vote whether to allow a change to the Offi cial Community Plan that could help pave the way for the Kingma brothers to build a 26-unit townhouse complex in the green space along Hot Springs Road. (See page 2)
Tough call, and the intense discussion across the council table on Monday night showed that at least they're putting some heavy thought into the pros and cons of such a development.
On one hand, there is green space to protect. On the other hand, development is a necessary side of municipal business. Without it, tax rates will rise to feed the coff ers. And at the end of the day, it always comes down to dollars.
So why close the doors to new housing choices? Is it to keep families out and maintain a retirement community? Let's face it. People want to live there. Th e view is divine, the neighbourhoods impeccable, and the atmosphere — somewhat sophisticated.
Hundreds of thousands of people visit the tiny community every year, and whether they're walking the streets, pedaling around or driving their cars, they are surely seeing the For Sale signs on virtually every street.
With views like that, it's hard not to daydream about a carefree lifestyle. And for years, that daydream included phrases like "when we retire..." But times are changing. Services are expanding, the world has gone wireless,
and living outside of a city centre is becoming less challenging. And yes, that means more and more people are going to be eyeing up small towns like Harrison — not just for retirement living, but for their young and growing families, as outposts for their home-based businesses, or even as secondary homes.
To have an option that's larger than a bread box and smaller than a 'B.C. Box' is going to be desirable to many of those buyers.
Some will have children. Some won't. Some will be well off , others will be working toward that goal. Some will be retired. Some will commute. Some may even bring their businesses.

Rave Reviews...Dr. Dolittle fi nds out that he can understand what animals are saying. Unfortunately, the word of Dolittle’s ability is
spreading quickly. Soon, many animals from rat to horse fl ock to his place to get medical advice. But his colleagues suspect he’s going mad, and as the clinic Dolittle used to work for
is about to being taken over for a huge amount of money, many decisions have to be made. Believe him? Put him into a mental
institution? Sell the clinic? But also his family is close to breaking apart. Until a circus tiger falls seriously ill.

Bergeron opens Twilight Concert SeriesTh e Twilight Concert
Series in Pioneer Park is back for the summer, bringing live music to the park every Wednesday evening.
Th e series will begin next week with a performance by Debbie Bergeron and Jeff Bowman. Bergeron is from Hope, but has been spending a lot of time in Alberta as she considers a move to that province.
She told the Observer she’s happy to be back playing close to home. In addition to the Pioneer Park show, she’ll be play-ing Hope’s Memorial Park on Sunday (see page 10 for details).
“I haven’t played any-thing local for quite some time, I think it’s kind of nice to come back home,” she said.
Bergeron will be per-forming her show Songs and Stories, in which she talks to the audience about how songs were conceived and where she gets her in-spirations from.
“I’ve gotten a lot of feedback,” she said. “And
people say they enjoy the music but also the stories. Th ey get to know the artist a lot more that way.”
Th e travel between home and Alberta has been keeping her busy, with a few live engage-ments in Alberta.
“But I’m just really miss-ing playing live,” she said, so she’s looking forward to the
two local performances. She’s also happy to be
playing with her long-time guitarist Bowman.
“We’ve worked together now since the late ‘90s,” she said. “He’s just won-derful.”
Th e series is presented by the District of Kent Community Services De-partment, and sponsored
by the Agassiz HarrisonLions Club, ProsperaCredit Union and AgassizHarrison Hope Observer.
To help fund the series,volunteers will be passing around a hat for donations during the show.
Th e concert runs from6:30 to 8 p.m. in Pioneer Park, outside Th e Observ-er’s offi ce.

What do you mean ICBC isn’t my insurer?
Kim BriscoeYou’ve been injured in
a collision through no fault of your own. You know you’re entitled to compensation for your injuries, but you keep hearing that “ICBC is not your insurer.”
You have your ba-sic insurance through ICBC, so of course they’re your insurer… right?
It’s not quite that simple. Remember, the accident was the result of someone else’s care-lessness, not yours. Th is means that you will deal with ICBC in two diff er-ent capacities:
On the one hand, medical expenses and rehabilitation are ben-efi ts that ICBC cov-ers under your policy, regardless of who is at fault. For these reim-bursements, the adjust-er acts on behalf of your insurer.
On the other hand, when you seek compen-sation for your injuries, you ask for damages un-der the at-fault driver’s insurance policy, not yours. Th e very same adjuster who helped with your medical ex-penses now has the job of ensuring that they pay you as little as possi-ble. He or she will work against you, and will use anything you have told ICBC to minimize pay-ment for your injuries.
An injury lawyer un-derstands the complexi-ties of auto insurance coverage and will fi ght on your behalf for the compensation you are entitled to.
Kim Briscoe is a per-sonal injury lawyer with
Waterstone Law Group LLP. She can be con-tacted by email at [email protected].

Spa Motel makes history with first aluminum unit
50 Years Ago, 1962• Th e addition of an aluminum
unit for the Spa Motel made history in 1962. It was made of prefabricated aluminum panels, a fi rst of its kind in Canada, and was erected in just 80 man hours. Each panel weighed about 10 ounces (or 283 grams) and was at-tached to a plywood fl oor. Windows, doors and wall parts could be inter-changed with a minimum of eff ort. Spa Motel owner, Mike Allen planned to add more units if they proved pop-ular with visiting tourists.
• Th e popular couple, Corporal Joe and Gwen Brown, was honoured at several farewell parties before they left for their new posting in Vernon. Corporal Brown, head of the Agassiz RCMP Detachment, was replaced by Corporal Wally McGuire of the Oli-ver Detachment on August 1.
• Th e Village of Harrison Hot Springs bought a 60 by 15 foot cedar
fl oat (18 by 4.5 meters) for the sand dredge being constructed by the Vil-lage. Formerly used by a logging company which had ceased work it the area, it had been moored in Long Island Bay. Raake Marine towed the fl oat to Harrison where it was hoped that the Recreation Commission could use it as a diving raft until the dredge was built.
• Several local residents travelled to the World’s Fair in Seattle by char-tered bus.
• Th e mosquito population was down in the summer of `62, possibly due to spotter Harry Wilson spend-ing a month treating sloughs with insecticide bombs and an aggressive spraying program by plane. Th e low water levels that year did not reach the mosquito eggs laid in previous years, which helped the situation.

Three days of arts left on the beach
Gospel, fiddle and African ballads at Festival
Th e 34th Harrison Festival of the Arts closes this weekend with some amazing music and art featuring Blues, Gospel, First Nations, African and more.
Th e Evening Concert Series continues tonight, July 13, with the award-winning gospel group Mike Farris & the Cum-berland Saints. In 2008, Farris won the Ameri-cana Music Association’s “New & Emerging Artist of the Year” award and won the Gospel Music Association’s “Best Tra-ditional Gospel Album” in 2010.
On July 14, Irelands’ Niamh Ni Charra Band will bring some award winning traditional mu-sic to the Hall. A multiple award winner on both fi ddle and concertina, Ni Charra toured for eight years as a soloist with Riverdance, performing in over 2500 shows, be-fore returning to Ireland.
To close the festival on July 15, legendary Afri-can vocalist Wazimbo and his band will get the Hall rocking. Wazimbo is one of the greatest voices of Mozambique and one of the most famous sing-ers for the Mozambican style - Marrabenta. One of the most famous works of this artist is the ballad “Nwahulwana” (night bird) was featured fi rst in a Microsoft com-mercial in California and in 2001 was part of the song track for the movie Th e Pledge starting Jack Nicholson.
Th e Evening Concert Series is the only ticketed event at the Harrison Fes-tival, and concerts oft en sell-out. See the website or call the Festival Offi ce for availability.
Second Weekend Beach Stage performers include Harrison Kenne-dy, a prolifi c songwriter
with a rich, deep-down blues, always rooted in what’s happening right now.
Local powerhouse tal-ent, Sto:lo singer Inez will be joined by blues and folk guitarist Jason Burn-stick.
Cellist Kevin Fox’s abilities as an instrumen-talist, singer, composer/arranger, performer and songwriter have off ered him the opportunity to work with the likes of Jus-tin Bieber and Kathleen Edwards, recording with artists as diverse as Raine Maida and Celine Dion, and touring extensively with musicians ranging from Chantal Kreviazuk and Steven Page to Tom Cochrane and Olivia Newton-John.
Pura Fé has sung for Th e Mercer Ellington Or-chestra, countless blues, jazz, R&B, rock bands and has stamped her dis-tinct vocals on many re-cordings, demo’s, jingles, music videos and movie sound tracks/trailers throughout her career.
Battle of Santiago com-
bine bass, saxophone, fl ute and percussion, the band’s philosophy is to capture each musicians own personal sound and style.
Nelson Lepine Quin-tet features bluesy roots music from this Bowen Island singer/songwriter.
Maria in the Shower is Vancouver’s legend-ary folk cabaret band — wandering minstrels, entertainers cut from old cloth, storytellers travel-ing oft en and gathering tales as they go. Enjoy the Beach Stage for only a daily $2 button.
Visit the Festival’s vi-sual art exhibit in the pic-turesque Ranger Station Art Gallery, featuring the work of local surrealist Leo Labelle. Stroll and shop at the juried week-end Art Market, under the tents on the lake front. Th is Market fea-tures some of BC’s fi nest artists and artisans dis-playing a dazzling array of hand craft ed items in-cluding pottery, jewelry, glass, metal, sculpture, musical instruments, paintings, leather and wood work and much more.
Full details on per-formers, dates and prices are available on the Fes-tival Society’s website at www.harrisonfestival.com or call the Festival Offi ce at 604-796-3664.
News
Suzie Vinnick played with Rick Fines twice under the tent last weekend. This weekend’s beach performers include Harrison Kennedy, Inez and Jason Burnstick and Battle of Santiago.

After three years bravely battling & confronting cancer, Randy passed away at the Cascade
Hospice in Chilliwack at the age of 62, with wife, Joan at his side. He will be remembered for his love of fast cars, racing, his dry sense of humour & his invaluable dating advice to his very special, much loved niece, Julia Ross. He had such a generous spirit & was the ultimate hockey "dad" for his grandson Tyler, whom he adored. We will miss his great smile & loving heart. Randy is survived by his parents, Fran & Ross Heathfi eld; Randy was a loving son. He was an amazing husband & best friend to his wife Joan. Randy is also survived by his very special son Sean (Heather) & their children Jade & Taija. Sean was his heart. He is survived by his brother Rick, "sister" Barb, niece Sarah (Byron), their children Chase & Mya, nephew David (Meagan) & his very special nephew Joel, who he was very proud of for all his love & kindness in his fi nal weeks of his life. Randy also leaves behind his "step up to the plate" stepson Aaron (Chanel), whom he came to admire as a great dad to his new family & as his friend. He also leaves his stepson Jason, whom he was very proud of for how far he had come in his life. We cannot forget his three beautiful grand-children, Brooklyn, Danika & Makena. Other special people in his life that will miss him are his sister in law Marg Ross & her husband George Irish - Randy thought the world of them. A special thank you to his best friend Cheryl Douglas (Derek), as she helped through his time of illness. Also to his daughter in law, Chanel, who helped get him into hospice & made his last days bearable. Neighbours Andree & Dennis, Robert & Pei Lee, Murray & Anita, Alan & Noreen - he was so grateful to you all for your love, support & being the best neighbours & dear friends. Also his Forest Service and fi re warden friends for all of their love & moral support. A special thank you to Heather, Sandy, Joan & Gary. In lieu of fl owers, donations in Randy's name can be made to the Chilliwack Hospice Society 45360 Hodgins Avenue, Chilliwack BC V2P 1P5. Memorial to be held at noon on Saturday, July 21st at 6910 Hawthorne Place, Agassiz.

recipe of the week Blackberry Lane
FROM MARLENE’S KITCHENBaked Oatmeal
• 3/4 c. oil (or applesauce for a no fat, moist & fl avourful option)
• 1 1/2 c. brown sugar• 4 eggs• 6 c. oatmeal• 4 tsp. baking powder• 1 tsp. salt• 2 c. milk
Mix all ingredients well by hand, then bake at 350 degrees for 35 - 40 minutes or until edges of oatmeal is still warm. Cut into squares, serve with milk. Store covered in the fridge to warm up for your next healthy breakfast. Enjoy!
Blackberry Lane pies began over fi ve years ago, when while raising their children, many people said that Marlene Wouda should sell her pies; they were that good! However, between milking cows and raising teenagers, there was never enough hours in a day.
When a good friend purchased a restaurant in Harrison and approached Marlene about selling her pies to her, she thought “why not give it a try?”
From there it just blossomed. You can fi nd Blackberry Lane pies at several different stores and restaurants in the Fraser Valley.
They take care in producing home-made, hand-made pies that contain carefully selected fresh (or frozen when not in season) fruit . . . they never use canned or fi lling in their pies!
Everything coming out of the Wouda kitchen is from scratch and baked fresh weekly . . . and sometimes daily! They pride themselves on their fl aky crust (which is Grandma’s secret recipe!)
They make several different pies each week:
• Apple Cinnamon • Strawberry Rhubarb
• Raspberry Peach • Blackberry Peach
• Bumblefruit • Blueberry • Rhubarb
• Blueberry & Rhubarb • Lemon Meringue
