Soldier sends message homeJessica PetersTHE OBSERVER

An email came to Th e Observer this week from the Canadian Forces, with a photo of soldier attached.

Th e soldier, Warrant Offi cer Corey Miller, is currently serving as as member of the Mission Transition Task Force at the Kandahar Airfi eld in Afghanistan.

But when he's not working overseas with the military, Miller lives with his family in Agassiz, including his wife Leann and children Coralee and Devon.

Th e email reads that Miller misses his family the most, but also misses the colours back home.

"Afghanistan is very brown," he wrote.

Miller is one of the many MTTF members currently stationed in Afghanistan who are tasked with ensuring that all Canadian personnel, vehicles, aviation, and equipment are out of Kandahar, Afghanistan by December 31, 2011.

Miller is part of the British Columbia Dragoons, and is the company Quarter-Master for the All-Source Intelligence Centre, providing intelligence support to the commander.

Th e ASIC comprises members from a variety of trades from across

Canada. Th is is the last ASIC to be deployed

to Kandahar, and is in charge of closing the unit.

As the CQ his responsibilities are to ensure the assets and equipment of the ASIC are removed from Kandahar in a manner that is in line with the intentions of the Task Force Commander, while ensuring that the ASIC is able to maintain their operational tempo as long as needed.

Of his job, Miller is quoted as saying it's "not the most exciting tasking I could have, but it is very rewarding on many levels. I am

working out of my trade, so it is giving me an opportunity to see the inner workings of a part of the army a lot of people do not normally get to see.

"I have met some incredibly interesting people and have had insight into other trades. Th e biggest challenge with my job here is balancing the need to maintain operations and the need to get everything home on time."

He says getting into a normal daily routine, including evening walks with his family, are what he's looking forward to the most upon his return.

Mayor hoping to see fresh faces on election ballots

Harris not running for councilJessica PetersTHE OBSERVER

Th ere will be some familiar faces on local ballots come November 19, but not every coun-cillor in this region will be putting their names forward again.

In Harrison, Council-lor Dave Harris has told Th e Observer he will not seek re-election.

“I am not running again,” he said last week. “I have done six year, and that’s enough. It’s time to move on.”

Incumbent council-lors, mayors and other prospective nominees will start fi ling papers next week indicating their offi cial decision whether to run or not. However, over the last week many local po-liticians have publicly announced their inten-tions.

Harrison Mayor Ken Becotte announced his candidacy for mayor

at a recent Chamber of Commerce meeting and confi rmed with the Ob-server this week.

“I defi nitely will be running,” he said, for a second three-year term as mayor. Becotte also served two previous terms as a councillor.

He made his decision easily, he said, as he feels that coun-cil is currently moving in the right direction and get-ting many big projects accomplished.

“Th e way things are going, I think they’re moving along very well and we’re getting a lot of things accomplished that I wanted to get done,” he said. “We still have some large project that I think we need to move on with.”

He pointed to the waste water treatment

project, to be completed in 2012.

With an empty seat on council, he is hoping to see plenty of new na-mes on the ballot.

“I think it’s unfor tunate (to lose Dave Harris) becau-se he has been an excellent c ou n c i l l or,” he said. “I’ve been talking to people and encouraging them to run.

We need to see some women on council, too.”

As for the rest of Har-rison council, Council-lor Dave Kenyon has told the Observer he be-lieves he’ll run again.

“I think I will,” he said in a phone message ear-lier this week. “Th at’s what people tell me I should do.”

Councillor Allan Jackson will also run, saying there are “critical

issues in Harrison that I want to see carried out in the next term.”

Jackson’s work on council has including being a part of environ-mental boards and com-mittees, in part, and he is hoping that a 200-acre tract of land in Harrison that is currently ow-ned by the government could be secured for the Village to keep in trust.

“It should be used for walking trails and for people to go there and enjoy it, in it’s natural state,” he said. “Th at’s the last bit of fl at land in the valley.”

Th e Observer was not able to contact Bob Per-ry by press time.

Nominations for of-fi ce will be open from Oct. 4-14, the timefra-me in which prospective councillors and mayors can put their names for-ward for the upcoming civic election.

[email protected]

Jessica PetersTHE OBSERVER

John Van Laerhoven has deci-ded to run for mayor in the Di-strict of Kent.

“I’ve enjoyed the last three ye-ars,” he told the Obser-ver. “Th ere’s been some diffi cult times in the last few years but I wanted to contribute. I think I want to contribute even more.”

Van Laerhoven is cur-rently a councillor in Kent, with a portfolio that ranges from parks and recreation to fi nan-ces. He also sits on the Fraser Val-ley Regional Library committee.

He says his “two years and a

bit” on council have taught him more about what goes on behind the political scene.

“I knew I’d learn a lot,” he said. “You always see something (one way) from the outside, but it’s ne-

ver that easy.” With the nomination

process not starting un-til Oct. 4, it’s unclear yet who Van Laerhoven will be running against.

But he won’t be run-ning against current Mayor Lorne Fisher, who has chosen to run as a councillor this time around. Like most coun-

cil members, Fisher was away at the UBCM conferences all week so unable to comment. But he

sent a message through Kent’s CAO Wallace Mah confi rming he is running for council.

Darcy Striker, who has been on council for nine years, has deci-ded to run again for council.

So has Ken Schwaerzle, who has been on council for just over four years now. He won a 2008 by-election held aft er a former councillor resigned aft er allega-tions of confl ict of interest.

Councillor Holger Schwich-tenberg was undecided when contacted by Th e Observer.

“I’d love to tell you but I just don’t know yet,” he said.

Th e nomination deadline for the November 19 civic election is October 14.

Author uses music to inspire young students

Rock and roll brings life to literacyJessica PetersTHE OBSERVER

People are “wired for story,” a prolific children’s writer told a group of Agassiz stu-dents on Monday.

Author Sigmund Brouwer used a com-bination of storytell-ing and music – really, really loud music – to

get Agassiz Christian and Kent elementary students jazzed about writing.

Good music taps into your feelings, he told them, and good stories do, too.

“How does this one make you feel?” he asked the kids before each snippet of a song.

With a touch of his ipod, he would then play bits of Bad to the Bone, a disco remix of Beethoven’s Fifth, and even the Spongebob Squarepants theme song . Throughout the one-hour presentation, Brouwer played scary music, silly music, and plenty of rock and roll to underline his point.

Stories are what set us apart from the herd.

A good story should capture a reader’s emo-tions, he said, and peo-ple are telling stories to each other all the time.

Brouwer has a solid list of children’s books to his name, and he told the students how stories he’s heard in his life have been turned into chapters in those books, by taking the original story and al-

tering them with his imagination. He’s drawn on his own ex-periences in school, and in the hockey rink, to tell captivating sto-ries that are growing in popularity in school libraries.

But his most recent book, Rock and Roll Literacy, is a teach-ers’ guide to cultivat-ing reading and skills. In the presentation he told the students how to “mess with your teacher” by building a tale that just gets more and more interesting.

In the end, each stu-dent was also given three e-books, readable on an ipad and ipod Touch. For more infor-mation on Brouwer’s program, visit www.rockandroll-literacy.com.

50 Years Ago, 1961

• Th e 1961 Agassiz dart players managed to retain the Dart Tro-phy for the third year in a row in a tournament held at the Elk’s Hall.

• Th e court under Magistrate A.M. Nai-smith dismissed a charge

of assault causing bodily harm against a soldier from Chilliwack as a re-sult of a fi ght outside the Ag Hall the night of the Fall Fair dance. Th e ac-cused admitted kicking Gordon Laughington but claimed Mr. Laugh-ington kicked fi rst. Laughington suff ered a

broken jaw. Magistrate Naismith stated it ap-peared to be a straight fi ght, that the two men had gone into the fi eld with that in mind and both had used their feet. He told them he could have charged them both with creating a distur-bance but because both had entered the fi ght voluntarily he dismissed

the charges. • Mrs. Marg Carson

was making satisfactory progress in Shaughnessy hospital, the local news-paper reported. Aft er a lengthy illness, she was expected to return home in a week.

Police allege Linklater shot flare gun at motoristSuspect nabbed for firearms charges


Ryan Linklater, 27, will soon face a judge for a series of fi rearms-re-lated charge, following reports of shots being fi red at a motorist in Agassiz.

Last Friday, police received a call that shots were being fi red from a

grey Ford F-150 truck by a male driver. Th e truck was traveling north on Hot Springs Road when the shots were fi red, and police quickly set up a roadblock near Strikers Corner to locate a suspect.

Th ey also searched nearby hous-es, and found Linklater in a resi-dence on Cheam Road. Police say

they surrounded the house and made two requests for the suspect to come out before he complied. He was arrested without further incident. A woman who was a pas-senger at the time of the alleged shooting was also located.

Police say the gun used in the incident was a fl are gun, shot at a

passing motorist.“Anytime it is alleged that a fi re-

arm has been used in an off ence, the potential jeopardy for the po-lice and public is very signifi cant,” said Cst. Tracy Wolbeck. “Th is si-tuation required a quick and coor-dinated response on the part of the Agassiz RCMP.”

Th e charges being recommen-ded against Linklater include care-less use of a fi rearm, possession ofa weapon, assault with a weapon,and uttering threats.

Linklater, who lives in Rosedale,is scheduled to appear in a Chilli-wack courtroom on October 11.

Homelessness seems to be a growing problem in Agassiz and Harrison, according to a report re-leased this week by the Fraser Valley Regional District.

Th e number of home-less recorded in Agas-siz and Harrison Hot Springs jumped from 12 in 2008 to 20 in March of this year.

Th e survey was con-ducted across the Fraser Valley in a 24-hour peri-od on March 15 and 16. It covered Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack, Agassiz–Harrison Hot Springs, Hope, and Bos-ton Bar–North Bend. A total of 345 homeless were counted in the sur-vey conducted in March 2011, compared to 465 counted in the 2008 sur-vey and 411 in 2004.

Th e number of home-less in Abbotsford drop-ped from 235 to 117 in 2011, and Mission’s dropped from 100 to 54.

Chilliwack increased to 111 from the 98 coun-ted in a similar 2008 survey, from 12 to 20 in Agassiz-Harrison, and from 20 to 43 in Hope, a 115 per cent increase.

Th ere are no shelters in Agassiz or Harrison, and service providers generally pass homeless individuals onto shel-ters in Hope and Chil-liwack.

Among the survey’s other fi ndings are:

• homelessness is a result of poverty, unaff ordable rental ra-tes, family breakdown, mental health issues and drug addiction;

• nearly two-thirds are homeless for one year or longer;

• more women sought shelter in transi-

tion houses in 2011, ri-sing to 34 from the 21 in 2008;

• more women were homeless in 2011,

jumping to 45 per cent from 32 per cent in 2008;

• addiction was reported by 37 percent and mental health issues by 20 per cent;

• the majority of survey respondents (66 per cent) came from

outside the region.

Abbotsford Coun. Pa-tricia Ross, who is also chair of the FVRD, said the report raises mul-tiple issues, especially the need for more detox facilities in the Fraser Valley.

She said there are nu-merous factors contri-buting to Abbotsford’s decrease in homeless numbers.

“You can’t look at just one factor,” she said, pointing out many groups are off ering help.

“Th e Salvation Army has done such a great job ... they work with the person to discover the cause.”

She said the report shows all facets are wor-king together to tackle the homeless issue.

“Th e fi rst step is to identify the problem. We are well on our way.”

News

A homelessness study was conducted this spring across the Fraser Valley. The results were sent out this week, indicating a jump in the Agassiz, Harrison and Hope areas.

Premier Christy Clark’s “B.C. Jobs Plan” took some hits as she was fi nishing her week-long publicity tour to roll it out.

Th e serious damage wasn’t from her political opponents on the left and right.

Th e body blows came from Europe, the United States and China, where the storm clouds of a second recession continue to gather.

As world leaders off ered up a chorus of warning about debt and falling consumer demand, commodity markets for metals, coal and petroleum tumbled along with stocks.

One of the few fi rm targets Clark off ered was that eight new mines should be up and running

in B.C. by 2015, with expansions or upgrades to nine more existing mines. Th at is the total arrived at aft er detailed meetings with the industry. But if China’s factories slow down because fewer Americans and Europeans buy their goods, those projects can fade as quickly as the price of copper.

Total provincial spending for the B.C. jobs plan comes out around $300 million. Th e big-ticket items were contributions to port and rail facilities at Prince Rupert and Tsawwassen. Another $24 million goes to staff up natural resource permit offi ces, which are backlogged aft er amalgamation of various ministry functions.

NDP leader Adrian Dix leapt on that announcement, saying it proves that the B.C. Liberals starved the regional offi ces.

He’s right on that. For example, the resource ministry’s regional director for Skeena told the Bulkley-Nechako regional

district board this spring that he has 30 per cent less staff than fi ve years ago. Some of that is a result of ending duplication of forest, energy and other ministries, but by this spring there were

65 independent power projects waiting for approval in Skeena alone.

Of course the NDP would fi x that backlog by killing off the projects, and presumably break up the natural resources ministry again, to ramp up their beloved government jobs.

Th e NDP also jumped on B.C.

Liberal MLA John Les for going to high-unemployment Nanaimo and suggesting people should look north where jobs are going begging.

Construction company Ledcor had job fairs in Prince George and Chetwynd in early September, looking for hundreds of truck drivers, heavy equipment operators, drillers, blasters, mechanics, surveyors and labourers for the Willow Creek coal mine in Tumbler Ridge. Another job fair was held in Fort St. James around the same time, looking for equipment operators for the Mount Milligan copper-gold mine.

I had a chat a couple of weeks ago with a grader operator in Dawson Creek, working in the gas patch. Most of the pickups he sees on job sites have Alberta licence plates.

So let’s say you’re an able-bodied unemployed guy sitting in Nanaimo, waiting for a job to come

to you. If that’s how you think the economy works, it’s no surprise if your preferred political message is Dix’s 1960s socialist blather about the government forcibly sharing the wealth. And it’s no surprise that you’re unemployed.

B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins trashed the Prince Rupert port announcement as a payoff to local aboriginal people for a potash facility.

“Th e usual Liberal policy of giving natives a veto on new projects has got to end,” Cummins said, demonstrating once again that he understands nothing about the evolution of this issue in the past 20 years.

In summary, Clark’s jobs plan is to continue Gordon Campbell’s Pacifi c gateway strategy. Th e opposition parties are reheating decades-old failed options they hope will smell better than a stale three-term government.

And B.C. is, as always, at the mercy of world events.

B.C. jobs plan bumps into reality

Worker safety must come first

Th e details of the tragedy at a Langley mushroom farm on Sept. 5, 2008 fi nally emerged last week, as the owners of the farm were in court aft er pleading guilty to numerous health and safety charges.

Th ree workers died and two others suff ered permanent brain damage. Th ey were asked to go into a confi ned space to clear the blockage in a valve containing the chicken manure, straw and gypsum, which are used to make mushroom compost.

Th is came aft er the farm owners had called a plumber to the scene. He was unable to fi x the blockage and asked them to call a sewer pumping service. Instead, the job fell to the workers. As outlined in court, they were never given any information on working in confi ned spaces, nor was there any occupational health and safety training off ered.

Many of the people who work on such farms, in Langley and elsewhere in the Fraser Valley, are relatively new immigrants to Canada. Th ey oft en get the jobs because they have limited job prospects and have some con-nections to the farm owners. Th ey are also willing to work for low wages at jobs which involve hard physical labour.

It is absolutely essential that anyone who hires other people to work in a business off er basic occupational health and safety training. It is also important that when there are hazards, such as confi ned spaces, employ-ees be fully familiar with the dangers involved. Th ey need to know when they can say “no.”

Th e B.C. Federation of Labour has taken a major interest in this case and deserves credit for highlighting the importance of employers follow-ing basic safety practices. Farm workers are just as valuable as any em-ployee on any job site. Th is case points out the need to ensure they fully understand all the risks of any job they are asked to perform.

Rave Reviews...With the help of his tiny friend, the fairy Tinkerbell, Peter

takes the three children on a magical fl ight to Never Land. This enchanted island is home to Peter, Tink, the Lost Boys, Tiger Lily

and her Native American nation, and the scheming Captain Hook who is as intent on defeating Peter Pan as he is from escaping the tick-tocking crocodile that once ate a hand of his that Peter Pan

cut off--and loved the taste of so much.

On September 4 I was rushed to the Royal Columbian Hospital in urgent need of a life saving procedure.

Th is action came about at the culmination of a series of telephone calls between my wife and various family members. Th e end result was a call from one of our children to 911, putting the process of my receiving the medical care I required in motion.

Nine days later, following a successful procedure, I returned home to convalesce and begin the healing process. My wife and I had begun making phone calls to let friends and relatives know I was home and to thank them for their care and concern, when suddenly at around 8:30 p.m. the phone lines went dead. Someone had cut a length of cable on Morris Valley Road, severing the telephone connections of several hundred homes for approximately 24 hours.

I realized very quickly that if this had happened a week earlier, the likelihood of my surviving my medical crisis would have been extremely slim. In essence the value of my life could have been reduced to the black market price of some copper cable. I realized also that among the many homes aff ected by the outage there are a large number of seniors which

means that there are likely a signifi cant number who have subscribed to the Life Line personal monitoring service. Obviously this would also have been severed rendering these individuals virtually helpless.

Th e following week, there was another cable cut alongside the road leading to Hemlock Valley Ski Resort. While aff ecting fewer homes it posed a very real threat of a much diff erent nature. Th is time the threat was to the physical welfare of the individuals cutting the cable as the cable cut was fi ber optic and not copper. Apparently if one looks at the end of a fi ber optic cable it can severely damage the eye, even causing blindness and if one were to suff er a scratch while handling this cable, minute glass particles could be released into the blood stream, the result of which could prove fatal.

I would like to make this appeal to anyone who has done, or is considering stealing copper cable. Please consider the impact such action could have on the lives of your fellow citizens. Not to mention the risk to your own personal well being, should you mistakenly cut the wrong type of cable and suff er an accident while doing so.

Re: Ruth Altendorf, Harrison Happenings, Friday, Sept. 23, 2011.

To date, Ruth’s Altendorf ’s ar-ticles, “Harrison Happenings”, have primarily outlined events that she has attended with family and friends or her views on the beauty and fun available in Har-rison Hot Springs. As such, they are oft en entertaining.

However, her latest article has entered the political arena, giv-ing much personal praise to the present council, in spite of the fact that, as far as I know, she has not attended any of its monthly public meetings during its cur-rent term.

Th is appears unfair to all the candidates who will run in the next municipal election. Will they be aff orded the same opportunity

for free political campaigning in the Observer?

My great concern is that not all the content of this article is factual, since not all information on processes surrounding the outcomes or decisions made in council is given, causing the pub-lic to be misled.

As one example, the concept of renovating Memorial Hall was decided upon before obtaining real input from the public. Th e article neglected to mention that a petition with 360 registered sig-natures, which were not in favour of this expenditure, was present-ed to Council. Some members of Council promptly dismissed this notice, end of discussion. Th is is only one of many circumstances that surrounded this controver-sial project, including the budget

overrun, and not everyone was happy with the action taken

I agree with the writer’s plea to all to fi nd out the facts. Get to know the issues of the Village by attending council meetings where decisions are discussed and voted upon. Th is is your opportunity to become informed and to reg-ister input that will ultimately shape the future of Harrison Hot Springs. As one can gather, it is most important to hear both sides of any story.

All residents should plan to at-tend the all-candidates meeting before our local election to gather such information. Only this way can one make an educated deci-sion before casting a vote in our November election.

Rockabilly heart and a hobo’s soulCousin Harley to rock Harrison

Th e Harrison Festival Society is bringing back a group that will liven up the Memo-rial Hall with everything from rockabilly to foot stomping vintage country to western swing. If you love Gretsch guitars, Hot-Rod cars and boogieing the night away, this is the show for you.

Cousin Harley performs at the hall on Sat-urday, October 8. And for those who didn’t catch the act last time, he’s the rocking hill-billy persona of one of Vancouver’s best gui-tarists, Paul Pigat.

Blessed with a jazz man’s sheen, a rockabil-ly heart and a hobo’s soul, there aren’t many genres of music that don’t pull at Pigat’s way-faring imagination like a magnet. In many ways, it’s a mystery why Paul Pigat isn’t a household name yet. Maybe he’d be a lot eas-ier to pin down if he wasn’t so darn good at so many diff erent things.

Paul is joined by Keith Picot (Th e Twist-ers, etc) on upright bass and Jesse Cahill on drums to create an unstoppable rock ‘n roll wrecking crew. With a hard hitting slap style all his own, Picot can drive a beat like the devil, then equally and eff ortlessly draw out the sweet tones of a saint. He is regarded as one of the best roots bassists in Vancou-ver. Cahill is also a highly regarded musician and drums for a number of jazz and roots music combos.

Cousin Harley fi rst played Harrison at a wild, sold-out show on Valentine’s Day in 2009.

Tickets are $22 and available by phone at 604-796-3664 or online at www.harrisonfes-tival.com.

Entertainment

Cousin Harley returns to Harrison Memorial Hall next weekend.

‘We proved ourselves worthy’ at Chorfest

Labelle consumed by art

Choir’s time to sing again


Leo Labelle started on his art career ear-ly.

“I used to paint the walls and fl oors, andI caused my parents some grief,” he sayswith a smirk.

But then, Labelle has always been a rulebreaker. And he still is to this day.

“I don’t believe in rules,” he says. “To me,it’s a bunch of nonsense... there’s no one setway of doing anything.”

He did take art courses at one point, cor-respondence classes through the Minne-apolis School of Art.

But he promptly threw away the rulesthey were trying to instill and carried onwith his own style.

And the result is a house overfl owingwith artwork, as Labelle has devoted his lifeto creating images on canvas and sculpt-ing.

“Th is is my love,” he says. “Th is is what Ilive for. It consumes me.”

Labelle’s inspiration comes from hissubconscious, mainly through images andideas from dreaming.

He’s spent the last few weeks poring overhis many years of works, fi nding the rightpieces for his upcoming show.

He’ll be showing his work next month atthe Mt. Woodside Gallery

He’s decided to include some of hisbrightly-coloured sculptures — “I’m knownfor being colourful” — and is learning howto frame his own paintings to properlyshow them.

Although he’s shown his work all aroundthe world, it’s been about 10 years since helast had a show.

“Am I excited? No, not really. I’m tired.It’s a lot of work putting a show together,”he says.

An artist’s reception will be held this Sat-urday, October 1 at 7 p.m.

Entertainment

Leo Labelle will be showing his work for the first time in several years.


On September 19, 7 pm, at the Harrison Memorial Hall, the HHS Multicultural Choir met for the fi rst 2011 Fall Season practice. Aft er staging a success-ful Seniors’ Chorfest in April, the choir took a much deserved summer break, but now is ready and eager for more. Th is is an ideal time to join the choir, it is a chance to start a new season together with the members. So, if you feel like checking us out, come to the Memorial Hall on a Monday eve-ning and see what it is all about.

Singing is healthy and good for you. Some time ago, I read an ar-ticle written by Victoria Strat-ton, a freelance writer and long-time chorister herself. She writes about health studies done in England, Germany and the USA, all pointing out that singing in a choir might provide many health benefi ts. Most prominently men-tioned were better breathing, bet-

ter posture and a boost to our immune system. Singing also acts as a great stress reliever and chal-lenges our grey matters!

We usually give two concerts per year, one in the Spring and one before Christmas. We also

sing at the Agassiz Car-oling Fest and some-times join the students of the Kent elementary school during their concerts.

Our choir is in good fi nancial standing. Th e fee for the fall session is $40 and the fee for the Winter session, because it is a longer time, is $50. Th at’s $90 for the year and includes the loan of music and prac-

tice tapes. It is a price that is hard to beat.

Th e HHS Multicultural Choir was founded in the year 1997. It provided us with an ongoing learning curve, with the seniors’ Chorfest being the culmination of our work. At this point, I would like to mention that — so

the Chorfest was comprised of “choirs with seniority” — it wasastonishing how well we did inevery way. A Chorfest of thistype is not for the weak and, I think, we proved ourselves wor-thy. Th ere were long days, toughworkshops, songs which werea step up from what we usually sing, the weather, which is never the greatest in April and yet, wetook it all in stride.

Th is does not mean, however, that one has to be a senior to be-come a member of our choir —far from it! Our choir is open to all ages and voice ranges and it is exactly this mix which makes ourchoir interesting.

Our choir director is BrendaDiRezze and our accompanist isBeccie Bokenfohr — two ladieswho have taught us for many years and never tired of it. We cannot thank them enough!

Proceeds from Agassiz garage sale went to shea butter project

Women in Mali can buy grinderTeryia members of the local

twinning group in Agassiz/Har-rison and Mali were able to raise enough funds to help contribute to the purchase of a multipurpose grinder for the women in the commune of Sanankoro Djitou-mou in Mali, West Africa.

A very successful garage sale took place in August aft er many in our communities learned, through an Observer article, of the Malian women’s hope to em-power themselves through the purchase of this grinder. Th is tool can help improve the quality of their shea butter, which ulti-mately has the potential to im-prove not just their own lives, but life within their villages.

Women in both Mali and the Fraser Valley entered into this project as partners, deciding mutually to raise funds together. Th is grinder, once purchased, can grind both nuts from the

shea trees, used globally as a skin cream, and also food cereals such as millet, corn, peanuts and beans.

With the garage sale proceeds, and donations from individuals locally, close to $1,000 was raised. Malian women utilized micro-credit funding to make craft s and sell at local markets, raising enough funds to put almost $400 to the eff ort.

Together with the funds raised by the Malian women themselves, by the proceeds from the garage sale, and by donations from lo-cal Fraser Valley women who learned Teryia was just shy of its goal, $1,400 was raised.

Th e funds were wired to Mali in early September, and they have contacted their Agassiz Teryia members to let them know that they have received them and are in the process of purchasing the grinder, plus a cart and donkey

(needed to transport the grinder between villages).

“Teryia would like to thank the Observer who initially ran the article that brought many lo-cal people out in support of the Malian women’s eff orts, and to those locals who donated money and time to this project. Our thanks also goes out across the miles to both Fatou and Sekou (our connectors and transla-tors!),” said organizer Anne Eh-ret.

Once the grinder is set up and operational in the commune, the women will begin to pay for the complete cost of the grinder so that they own the operation. Th e women plan to raise enough funds through their Shea Butter sales to purchase another grind-er, as there are 27 villages in the area. Local Teryia organizers plan to continue to partner with them as it is a mutual benefi t.

Community

The Malian group who deposited funds on behalf of Teryia were: Sekou Samake, a Bamako business man; Kariba Samake, in denim jacket ( the Chair of the Commune’s Twinning Group); Mariétou (the new President of Commune’s Women’s Association) and the founding Teryia member Fatou Diarrassouba’s mother, Issa.
