Th e BC Coroner’s Service has confi rmed that the two bodies located along the Harrison River last week were those of the men that went missing on Harrison Lake June 8.
Local kayakers spotted a body two kilometres down the Harrison River on Th ursday, June 18 and phoned it in. Kent Harrison Search and Rescue (KHSAR) was paged Th ursday evening to assist RCMP in its recovery.
KHSAR members spent four hours searching the
Harrison River Friday morning, from Harrison Lake right to the Fraser River, but didn’t fi nd the other missing man. Th en late Friday aft ernoon, a fi shing guide spotted the body upstream from the highway 7 bridge in Harrison Mills. KHSAR volunteers recovered the subject from the shoreline next to the bridge using a rope system.
“Th e two separate recoveries on the Harrison River were unusual,” states Neil Brewer, one of the team’s search managers.
Brewer says in his experience, there have been
no body recoveries on the Harrison River as the current typically takes the bodies to the Fraser River.
“Th is was a very sad event for everyone involved,” says Brewer. “But, at least we have provided closure for the families and friends.”
Th e two men, Daniel Dale Reid, aged 23, and Gary Duong, aged 25, were both from Vancouver. Reid and Duong were part of a large group staying in Harrison. According to KHSAR, eight of them left the beachfront on an infl atable raft on Monday, June 8. Reid and Duong at some point jumped into the
water and planned to swim back to shore.
Th e remaining six individuals had required assistance from KHSAR when they were unable to get back to shore. It was only later in the day that the friends realized the two men had not shown up back in Harrison. Th ree intensive search days turned up nothing and the search had been called off . KHSAR confi rms that when they rescued the six individuals, none were wearing personal fl otation devices, and the two bodies recovered did not have PFDs on either.
On Duong's Facebookpage, tributes have beenpouring in since theincident. Friends and familywrite that he was full of life,was an incredible soul and a"ridiculously talented" artist.One friend writes, "He wasa stand-up man, as sensitiveto art as he was to the peoplearound him. Rest in peace,bud."
KHSAR spent more than300 volunteer hours on therescue, search and recoveries.Th e BC Coroners Serviceand RCMP are continuing toinvestigate the deaths.

Bus riders take heart as you wait in the heat for the next bus. Harrison Hot Springs hopes to keep you shaded and dry with a bus shelter in the near future.
Th e Village Council agreed to apply to BC
Transit for a program that covers partial funding for a bus shelter.
Th rough the program, the Village would cover 53.3 per cent of the cost of the shelter, with the Province paying the remainder. If Council receives the funding, the shelter would be considered an asset of BC Transit, but maintenance, upkeep, safety and liability will be the responsibility of the Village.
Councillor Samantha Piper was all for it because it helps to get people out of their vehicles and using alternate modes of travel.
“It provides dignity to transit users by keeping them out of the elements,” she added.
While BC Transit has designated the corner of Esplanade Ave. and St. Alice Street as the main bus stop in Harrison, councillors questioned if that is truly the best location for a local stop.
“It caters to visitors in that location,” said Councillor John Hansen. "For residents,
it’s in an out-of-way location."
He suggested that near the new traffi c light might be a more convenient stop for residents as well as central for visitors.
Lisa Grant, manager of development and community services, presented the report to Council. She explained it is BC Transit that identifi es stops and locations.
“Th at being said, we can propose an alternative location,” said Grant.
If Council wanted to apply for a bus shelter to be at a separate location, they would have to make that request to BC Transit, as well as with the Ministry of Transportation for highway locations. She suggested that Council could look at phasing in a few bus shelters over the coming years, or apply for a change now but, by doing so, they may miss this funding opportunity.
Hansen said it is important to open a dialogue with BC
Transit on the location of the bus stop.
“We’re better in tune of what the needs of the community are than BC Transit,” he commented.
I n t e r e s t i n g l y , Mayor Leo Facio and several councillors commented on the fact that bus drivers make a circuitous route through Harrison, picking up bus riders along several unoffi cial stops.
“It’s fabulous they stop wherever you like in our community,” said Facio.
BC Transit confi rmed with Th e Observer last Tuesday, explaining that Harrison is served by transit on Hot Springs Road inbound, and outbound along Eagle and McCombs Drive, "to provide the greatest transit coverage in the community," according to Johann van Schaik, senior regional transit manager for BC Transit's South Coast region. She says there are a total of four designated bus stops with bus signs in Harrison. On the other sections of the route, riders are served by
"fl ag" stops."Th ese are informal
stops that are consideredsafe locations with goodvisibility where riderscan fl ag the bus down,"explains van Schaik.
Facio suggestedthe Village apply forthe funding and, ifthe bus stop locationcannot be changed, thatCouncil look for futurefunding opportunitiesfor diff erent bus stoplocations down theroad.
BC Transit sheltersrange in price, froma low of $9,800 to ahigh of $25,800 on theexamples provided. Staff recommended a type ofshelter that provides aback and cantileveredroof, with potential costsof between $10,300 and$15,200.
“Due to the proximityto the lake and thewinds, a shelter withgreater weatherprotection best suits ourneeds,” writes Grant inthe staff report.
Th e 2015 Villagebudget includes $7,500allocated towardsupgrading the bus stop.

NewsChoppy waters cause multiple rescue call-outs
Lorene KeitchTHE OBSERVER
Unexpected weather caused hazardous conditions for multiple boaters on Harrison Lake last weekend.
On the evening of Saturday, June 20, a family was left stranded on Echo Island aft er they encounted problems with their boat getting swamped in heavy, choppy waters. Kent Harrison Search and Rescue (KHSAR) quickly located and returned the family to safety.
“Fortunately no one was injured,” says Cpl. Mike Rail. “Th e boaters did the right thing by staying with the boat and navigated to safety.”
Th e Fox family is grateful for KHSAR’s assistance, rescuing a father, two children and two grandchildren in the incident.
“Th ank you for your dedication, hard work and for everything you do,” family
member Amanda Fox stated in a grateful letter to the editor (see page 7). “I’m proud to call the KHSAR team my superheroes.”
Immediately following that incident, KHSAR were paged for three men overdue from a canoe outing from 20 Mile Bay Recreation site. Th e ‘Spirit of Harrison’ boat was deployed,
along with the RCMP Seasonal Policing Unit, to search the lake and shoreline. Around 1:30 a.m. they found the three men 800 metres north of their canoe, “as they attempted to bushwhack over three kilometres through heavy bush and very steep terrain,” reports Neil Brewer, one of the KHSAR team’s search
managers.Cpl. Rail says they made
a good decision to paddle to shore aft er rising winds made the lake hazardous.
As the two boats were returning to Harrison at 2:55 a.m. Sunday morning, a third call was received regarding an overdue boat with four people. According to KHSAR, the individuals returned safely and KSHAR volunteers fi nally got home at 5 a.m. Sunday morning.
“Police would like to remind everyone that understanding the environment and realizing your own ability is essential when enjoying the lakes and backcountry in our region,” states Cpl. Rail.
KHSAR had one fi nal callout on the weekend for a missing person at Green Point. However, as they were mustering, the subject returned to his family.

Village councillors had heated words to say about the beachfront bandstand aft er a staff proposal to upgrade the facility was presented.
Lisa Grant, manager of development and community services, presented a suggestion that the Village of Harrison Hot Springs apply for funding through the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure program. Given the short timeline to apply and the criteria listed for projects, Grant told council that staff had to think of projects that are “shelf-ready.”
Staff also wanted to look at projects that would not require general revenue or borrowing for the village’s half of the total project cost.
A bandstand revitalization project fi t the bill. Th e bandstand is a large, open-air structure on the beachfront at the intersection of Esplanade Ave. and Maple Street. According to the staff report, the bandstand project was planned in concept as part of phase 2 of the Esplanade Avenue street-
scape improvement project. Th e bandstand has “functioned well over the years,” Grant writes in the report, but adds that improvements will provide a “greater sense of place and act as an anchor on the waterfront.”
Th e proposed improvements were estimated to cost $148,000, with the village’s $74,000 to be covered by Resort Municipality Initiative (RMI) funds.
Councillor Sonja Reyerse was fi rst to react.
“I feel like we’re throwing good money aft er bad,” she said.
Th e bandstand, as an outdoor structure, is only usable two to four months a year, and the village already has a separate bandstand (at the intersection of Hot Springs Road and Esplanade Ave.) not being utilized, Reyerse added. She remarked that if the $74,000 was put towards something like a Sasquatch museum, it would be money better spent as it would give visitors a year-round activity.
Councillor John Buckley was next, saying the bandstand is not really functional, it faces the wrong
way and does not provide “good seats” for attendees that don’t get there fi rst.
“I’m not in favour of spending a nickel on it,” said Buckley.
Councillor John Hansen echoed Reyerse’s statements, and Councillor Samantha Piper questioned why the village would consider upgrading a new facility instead of projects like the docks that are in “dire need” of repairs.
Mayor Leo Facio proposed the Village put in the application for the bandstand upgrade, then suggest “re-scoping” for a diff erent project aft er they have applied. Hansen agreed with Facio’s proposal, saying if the Village gets the grant and asks to re-scope but is denied, they have not lost anything through the process.
Reyerse said to go ahead with applying, but if the grant is awarded to the village, she has no intention of supporting the bandstand project.
Council voted in favour to apply for the funding, with the understanding they would suggest a diff erent project if the grant is approved.

The view from the East Coast
LNG progressRich Coleman’s hard work is starting to pay off .Th e minister of natural gas development and deputy premier, has spent
a great deal of his time over the past two years on the liquefi ed natural gas “fi le.” Th is initiative, promised by Premer Christy Clark during the 2013 election campaign, was supposed to pump a great deal of money into the B.C. economy by opening up new natural gas markets, at a time when the traditional B.C. natural gas market in the United States began to dry up.
While Clark promised a debt-free B.C. and a “prosperity fund” modelled on Alberta’s heritage fund, it is likely that LNG will not be quite that lucrative. For one thing, the prices that Asian customers are willing to pay aren’t as high as projected two years ago, For another, there are many other sources of natural gas, including Russia. China has already made an agreement with Russia to buy large quantities of its production.
Nonetheless, the announcement Friday by Petronas, the large Malaysian company, that it is ready to invest in an LNG plant near Prince Rupert is a huge step forward. Petronas has long been seen as the proponent most likely to go ahead with building a plant. It has a number of customers lined up, and already owns natural gas wells in the B.C. northeast.
Petronas said that the B.C. government needs to adopt as legislation the reduced royalty rates it has already verbally agreed to. Th at will take place in a legislative session in July. An environmental assessment process must also be completed to everyone’s satisfaction.
Th e Lax Kw’alaams First Nation has already voted against the Petronas plant, over fears that construction will damage sensitive rearing areas for young salmon near the mouth of the Skeena River. Coleman said he believes these concerns can be dealt with, but this may prove to be a very major hurdle.
Coleman has proved adept at meeting all kinds of people in his quest to bring a large LNG plant online. If he can work out an arrangement with the Lax Kw’alaams, the plant will almost certainly be built, and a new era of jobs and economic development will begin.

Victoria – I’ve just spent two weeks viewing events from the opposite side of Canada, in and around St. John’s Newfoundland. It’s the same country, but you wouldn’t know it sometimes.
Here on the West Coast, “kayaktivists” paddled around a Shell off shore oil drilling platform being serviced at Seattle, striking poses of resistance for the media from their petroleum-based watercraft .
Meanwhile at Bull Arm outside St. John’s, work continues on a massive “gravity-based structure” that will soon be drilling into the Hebron oilfi eld 350 km off shore. It will have living quarters and drill rig above and a tank with capacity for 1.2 million barrels of crude below.
Off shore oil has turned St.
John’s into a boomtown. With one industrial park nearing capacity on the edge of town, a second is under construction. Locals call it “Dannyland,” aft er its developer, former premier Danny Williams.
St. John’s Airport is buzzing with fl ights back and forth to Edmonton and Fort McMurray, and crew helicopters shuttling back and forth from off shore oil rigs. Tourism is picking up, with a new cross-Canada ad campaign and WestJet starting service to Dublin and London.
A foreign supplier won a contract for tankers to bring oil ashore. With no media-connected environmental groups to steer the subject to far-fetched disaster scenarios, debate in the Newfoundland and Labrador legislature turned to concerns about maintaining local employment.
Outside the city, parallels with B.C. become evident. Tiny towns struggle to hang on as young people choose opportunity over isolation, and the only expansion is at church graveyards. While cities struggle
with high housing and recreational property costs, homes in remote areas are going for a song.
Up north in Labrador, a
hydroelectric dam at Muskrat Falls is under construction. Its $8 billion estimated price tag is in the same range as BC Hydro’s Site C project on the Peace River, which will part a sea of protesters and lawyers and move ahead this summer. Nalcor Energy, Newfoundland’s electrical utility, is dipping into contingencies in an eff ort to keep it on time and
on budget.Here on the Left Coast, enviros
and the Green Party rail against hydro as well as oil and gas, and of course you can’t even mention nuclear. Climate activism proceeds in a logical vacuum in these parts, as it oft en does in Europe.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper signed on to a farcical “carbon free in 85 years” pledge at the G7 meeting in Germany. But hey, it’s an election year, not a time for serious discussion of issues.
Imperial Oil’s Kearl oilsands mine at Fort McMurray has started production from its $9 billion second phase, with the help of many Newfoundlanders. Production continues to grow, heavy oil prices have surged with paving season, and large-scale liquefi ed natural gas export plans begin to take shape in B.C.
With the legislature about to be recalled to endorse the Petronas-led LNG export project, Premier Christy Clark has assembled a climate action team with
representatives from industry, First Nations, local governments and a couple of professional protesters for good measure.
Th ey have an absurdly short deadline to recommend changes to B.C.’s token carbon tax, as gasoline consumption returns to pre-tax levels despite continued high pump prices.
In St. John’s, another long, cold winter has fi nally loosened its grip aft er piling snow to doorknob levels. Every street in sight is being patched and repainted.
Th e debate about new energy supplies has a more serious tone in Newfoundland. Th e last elected premier, Kathy Dunderdale, lost her job in the wake of winter power blackouts.

MailbagIn response to a letter by Jim
Vandenborn in the Observer, June 18, 2015. I was appalled by your letter basically calling everyone who visits this tourist town of Harrison Hot Springs freeloaders. How is it you know that these people are in fact freeloaders? How can you tell which are paying tourists and which are freeloaders?
Maybe you haven’t realized that many visitors that come to Harrison
may visit several times a year and on one visit be a freeloader having a picnic and on another visit going for dinner or even staying in a hotel. Th e answer is that you don’t know, sir.
If you thought you were adding your backing for pay parking, think again. You just showed me in living colour that this is the very reason why there should be no pay parking in this town and do you know why?
Because in your letter you maligned all the visitors to Harrison because you are only thinking of yourself. Harrison is and will always be a tourist town with restaurants, motels, hotels, resort, shops and freeloaders as you call them. I just hope your letter hasn’t off ended too many freeloader/tourists.

In 2010, you rescued my brother and his wife and had to rescue my other brother Derek who had passed away. Th is weekend, you were there to rescue my husband Stan, daughter Danica, Son Atlee and granddaughters Hailee and Lilee, and of course our puppy Peaches too. (see story, page 3).
Th ank you for your dedication, hard work and for everything you do. You help save lives as well as help people who are simply in more deep than they can handle.
I’m proud to call the KHSAR team my superheroes in so many more ways than one. Th ank you for everything and all that you do.

judicial limitations? Never before in the history of Canada has any Supreme Court judge been able to declare any drug safe for medicinal purposes without the formal authorization to market or distribute a medicine without a notice of compliance issued by Health Canada. Th e recent approval by the Supreme Court of the marijuana drug sales without the approval of Health Canada is a strange phenomenon indeed. It strikes me more like a democratic dictatorship then anything else.
Is there anyone who holds these judges accountable? How? One can only wonder, just who runs the country? Th e government or the Supreme Court judges?

Lorene KeitchTHE OBSERVER
U.S. soccer champion Lori Lindsey visited students at Sts’ailes, to give them some tips on and off the fi eld for success in soccer, and in life.
Th e June 17 event began with a presentation from students and staff at Sts’ailes Community School, and a message by Chief Harvey Paul. He encouraged them to always ask questions.
“Always be curious. Keep asking questions. You’ll always learn,” he said.
Th e students took Paul’s advice to heart. Th ey asked Lindsey about everything from how long she could juggle a ball (her record was 1,600), to how she was selected to be on the U.S. team. Th ey learned that she is 35 years old, is from Indiana but lives in Washington, D.C. and that her last year in the professional soccer league (2014), she probably played 50 games.
Lindsey’s career spanned 13 years in professional soccer, including on the U.S. team for the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup, where they took second place overall.
Th e students listened politely as Lindsey recounted her early years in soccer and the hard work it took to make it to the professional level of women’s soccer. When asked what her most challenging game was, she shared it was the 2011 fi nal game against Japan for the World Cup.
“It was exhausting,” she recalls. “60,000 plus fans. Exhausting emotionally and physically.”
She says the best country she ever played in was Brazil, with its citizens full of passion for the sport and their teams.
Her advice to students?“Th e biggest thing is this: Th e
games you lose, you learn the most from,” she told students. “You don’t have to get down. You can take a look at the areas for improvement.”
She shared that soccer has made a diff erence in her life, from learning how to work in a group to developing lifelong friendships. And, aft er her retirement from an impressive career at the professional level, she
has an established commitment to fi tness that has carried on.
“I’ve learned how to create a healthy lifestyle for myself, to stay healthy and active.”
Th e event was co-ordinated by the U.S. consulate, to help build connections
between the United States and Canada. Sts’ailes was the only Fraser Valley site chosen for this outreach program, with one more happening in Vancouver.
“We believe sports diplomacy is one of the commonalities between our nations,” explains Glenda Ainsworth, public aff airs advisor with the U.S. Consulate General.
Ainsworth says sports such as soccer provide an opportunity for friendly competition between our nations, but also unites us in our common interests. And naturally, with the FIFA World Cup on now, it was an optimal time to bring someone like Lindsey into Canadian communities to help build connections.
Following the question and answer period, the students, ranging from grades 4-12, had a chance to play some soccer under Lindsey’s supervision. Th e MVA’s from each team were given commemorative t-shirts that Lindsey off ered to autograph for lucky young fans.
U.S. professional soccer player Lori Lindsey visited Sts’ailes Community School last week and gave some pointers to students on and off the field.

Th e annual Sasquatch Days are upon us and, once again, promises to be a fun-fi lled weekend for locals and visitors alike.
Th is is the fourth annual Sasquatch Days, though it has roots back to 1938 when a two-day event was held which brought together a couple thousand people for war canoe races.
Today, Sasquatch
Days includes war canoe races with teams coming from as far afi eld as Vancouver Island and Washington state. Attendees can watch the races along Harrison Lake's shorefront while munching on homemade bannock. Salmon caught fresh in our waters will be on the open-fl ame barbecue both aft ernoons.
Also on the itinerary are medicine walks, artisan activity tables
and opportunities for sharing of cultures.
Th is is an intercultural event, highlighting the connection between the Sts'ailes people and the village of Harrison Hot Springs.
"It's a strong cultural event," explains Erin Goosen, visitor services and events co-ordinator at Tourism Harrison. "It's believed that the Harrison area is the birthplace of the Sasquatch, and it's very prominent in Sts'ailes culture."
Sasquatch Days is a joint partnership between the Village of Harrison Hot Springs and the community of Sts'ailes.
Sts'ailes Chief Harvey Paul says they are glad to welcome guests to their traditional territory for this special event.
"It is a wonderfulthing to see the sharingof culture and traditionsthis way," says ChiefPaul. "We are proudto showcase the richheritage and customs ofour people at SasquatchDays."
Th e kickoff beginsSaturday morningat 9:30 a.m. with ashort procession tothe Harrison LakePlaza. Th ere will be awelcoming ceremony at10 a.m. by representativesof Sts'ailes and Harrison.
Goosen estimates 200to 300 participants comeout for the canoe raceseach year, with another2,000 to 3,000 spectators.
Sasquatch Days takesplace this Saturday from9:30 to 5 p.m. and Sunday,9:30 to 3 p.m. For moreinformation, see www.tourismharrison.com

This is a feature you’ll want to hang onto. Stick it in that handy spot where you keep the takeout menus and pens, or tack it on the family bulletin board. Inside these pages is a guide to all that goes into making this such a great place to live, work and play.Discover is a community guide. Sure, we don’t mind if tourists grab a copy to browse, but we hope to help locals discover a little more about the place you call home.Did you know we have organized walking and hiking groups? See page 13 for our sports listings and to get in touch with the people who can tell you what you want to know about meeting up for a friendly walk or a vigorous climb. If hiking is not your thing, maybe you have an instrument collecting dust in the basement. Wipe off the cobwebs and come join a jam session at Friendship House! See page 14 for those details or to check out other ways to express your artistic self.People might think that in a small community, there’s nothing to do. But I’d say one glance at this guide and you’ll be wondering how you’ll ever find the time to fit it all in! Sign up for swimming,
volunteer, check out the local art. There’s no shortage of ways to spend your time all within the Agassiz / Harrison area.
