Council may nix drive-thru ban bylaw Mission Record

Council may soon kill a bylaw preventing new or existing developments from adding drive-thrus. Following a verbal report by Coun. Dave Hensman, Coun. Larry Nundal led a motion Monday that staff prepare legislation to amend zoning bylaw 5050, repealing sections which currently prohibit drive-thru restaurants. Mayor Ted Adlem, who ran a drive-thru Wendy’s restaurant for 15 years, has been a vocal opponent of the bylaw. When council voted to approve a Wren Creek development with two drive-thrus in April, Adlem said the bylaw prevents Mission from being taken seriously by prospective developers. Adlem has said between 60 to 65 per cent of a fast food restaurant’s business comes from drive-thru windows. But former councillor Heather Stewart, who voted against applications involving drive-thru restaurants and was instrumental in getting the bylaw approved, was disappointed with the move. “It will affect Mission’s image, first of all, as a

forwardlooking ccommunitty respondiing to all kkinds of nnew ideas Nundal about how communities should develop,” she said. “These fast-food drive-thrus are run by corporations. They may be franchised to local people but they’re run by corporations.” Council is also ignoring the bigger picture of global warming and our carbon footprint, she added. According to the Office of Energy Efficiency on the Natural Resources Canada website, each litre of gasoline produces about 2.3 kg of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2), one of the gases suspected to be responsible for creating the greenhouse effect linked to climate change. And the province’s Idle Free BC initiative claims Canadian drivers would collectively save 630 million litres of fuel, and $945 million in fuel costs (assuming a fuel cost of $1.50/L) by reducing idling by three minutes a day. This would also save 6.3 billion kg of greenhouse gas emissions. See FINANCIAL Page 3

Heavy snow in B.C.’s Interior poses a risk of flooding in the Fraser Valley this year, but much will depend on the weather patterns in the weeks ahead. The entire Fraser River watershed has 29 per cent more snow than normal, as of the latest readings taken by the River Forecast Centre May 1. And the upper Fraser and Nechako basins — which supply about a third of the Fraser water that flows through the Lower Mainland — are running at around 50 per cent above normal. “There is an elevated flood risk present through the entire length of the mainstem of the Fraser River from the Robson Valley to the Fraser Valley,” according to the centre’s latest bulletin. Some B.C. communities have already been hit with isolated flooding due to rising local creeks and rivers and forecasters say the risk of seasonal flooding later this spring is “exceptional” in some regions. But they say the Fraser won’t likely peak in the Lower Mainland until sometime between mid-May and late June or July, depending on the weather. A lengthy run of hot temperatures, heavy rain or a combination of the two is described as the worst case scenario. Floodplain dwellers should hope for seasonal temperatures and dry weather for the rest of the spring, particularly in the watershed’s northern basins. Above-normal temperatures are expected in most of the watershed by this weekend. Local residents would have plenty of warning of any high water. The River Forecast Centre runs computer simulations to generate five-day forecasts of flow the length of the Fraser. Flood warnings are issued if rivers are forecast to approach or reach flood level.

Emma McWilliams had her long hair cut off by ZZ Cuts’ Lindsey Maxwell to support Cecelia Duffy, a Mission girl living with leukemia.

Lopping locks for a friend BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

When Emma McWilliams moved next door to Cecelia Duffy last April 1, the first thing she noticed was that her new neighbour had a trampoline, too. She had left her trampoline at her old house and didn’t know anybody in her new neighbourhood. The Duffys brought over apple muffins to welcome the family and “we started hanging out ever since,” Emma says. The 12-year-old girls became nearly inseparable over the next six months. But Cecelia fell ill for several weeks in October. Nobody quite knew what was wrong until she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, a cancer of the blood cells. The news was devastating. “I bawled my eyes out for about five days,” said Emma, who didn’t know what leukemia was at first. Cecelia, who has just finished radiation treatment in March at BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, kept a positive outlook through

the ordeal. “It was scary at first. I think I had one good cry, but then after that I was very cheerful and confident through it.” Losing her hair wasn’t as difficult as feeling sick all the time and being stuck in hospital, she said. When she told her best friend about losing her hair, Emma immediately volunteered to shave her head. “I was just kind of thinking, what can I do? Obviously I can’t cure it, but I can go visit her and try to make her spirits up and make her happy and support her,” said Emma. She visited her friend in Vancouver many times by driving with the Duffys and also made ample use of Skype, an Internet-based chat program. When she said she would shave her head, Cecelia tried to talk her out of it. Emma’s mind was made up. Cecelia’s mother, Kim, came up with the idea to hold a fundraiser at the girls’ school for the hairshaving event. Their goal was to raise $1,000 with a “Coins for

Lanka Jewels- Mission Junction Shopping Center

Communities in Bloom Cancer” drive from April 23-27, culminating in Emma shaving her head on Friday in front of the student body of Albert McMahon. Emma had waist-length hair, which she trimmed a foot prior to the shaving. By Friday morning, what remained of her hair was on the floor of the school gymnasium. Afterward, children took turns congratulating both girls. “There were a lot of kids saying hi to me, kids I barely knew, but just coming up and saying hi,” said Cecelia. And it was an overwhelming success. The girls raised $2,498.75, which will be donated to BC Children’s Hospital’s Balding for Dollars program. Both are now back to their regular routine, though Cecelia takes it easy on the trampoline. “I’m a lot healthier, I have a really good appetite. I feel like I have a lot of energy.” And Emma doesn’t miss her hair much. She’s just happy to have her friend back.

Financial benefit to drive-thrus: Adlem From COUNCIL Page 1

But Adlem said people don’t drive big gas guzzlers anymore, and car emissions are far fewer. “If you probably go 10 or 15 years down the road they’re not going to be run by internal combustion engines. They’re going to be run by electric en-

gines,” he said. More than 500 people in Mission signed a petition in 2008 opposing drive-thrus, followed by a 794-signature petition last May that resulted in the bylaw prohibiting them anywhere except within a comprehensive development (CD) zone. “I respect their right to be opposed to a drive-thru,” said Adlem,

though he questioned whether people really know what they’re opposing, adding drive-thrus provide a net financial benefit to the community. Mission currently has seven drive-thrus, and added four more recently by approving two new developments along Lougheed Highway at Wren Street and at Cedar Street, respectively.

Items at curb weren’t trash BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

A Mission family found out the hard way there are early risers combing trash piles during spring cleanup week. Ray Greenwood is a driver with Allied Trucking and was waiting for his ride at 6:30 a.m. Sunday with his duffel bag and golf clubs. His partner was late so Ray popped inside to make a phone call and within a few minutes, the items he left at the edge of the driveway were gone. Angela, Ray’s wife, said she knows it’s most likely just a misunderstanding, as her neighbourhood’s garbage pick up day was Monday, but the mistake’s financial toll is adding up. The black, Allied-emblazoned bag contained his work uniforms, passport, GPS and Sirius satellite radio. Coupled with the golf clubs, Angela estimates the family is down about $2,000. If anyone has seen these items, send an e-mail to hometostay@shaw.ca or call Angela at 604-8263776.

OPINION

Published and printed by Black Press Ltd. at Mission at 33047 First Ave., V2V 1G2

Competition important First they – the adults in charge – took away ribbons on Sports Day. Then they stopped keeping score in kids’ hockey games. Now Canada’s 56 national sports bodies want to take competition out of other youth games and focus on fun and skills rather than winning. The greatest part of sports is competition, trying your best to win. Not at all costs; that’s why sports have rules. But why bother playing if you’re not trying to win? Friendships form out of a common interest, and a common goal, not shaking hands. That’s sportsmanship, and it already exists. Failure, making mistakes is how we learn — even if it is just how to cope with that. It breeds desire, builds character, and from which grow some compelling stories, ones of overcoming adversity. This new national program, under the guidance of Sport Canada, is not wrong in wanting to focus on skills over winning. Everyone develops at a different rate. But natural ability and individual skill alone don’t win championships or medals. Determination is vital, fuelling the hours upon hours of practice required to perfect the skills necessary to succeed. Even then, intelligence, teamwork and tactics are key cogs, as are risk and luck, timing and circumstance. How do you breed those traits if you take competition out of the picture? When is best to introduce it? Can you ever really take it away? Sports, like life, aren’t fair. They are about winning, whatever it takes, even bloodshed. Just watch the Stanley Cup playoffs. Or don’t. Again, what would be the point if the teams weren’t trying to win? - Maple Ridge News

Tanker debates sinks to new low T he B.C. NDP has ramped up its opposition to the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline. First the party formalized objections already expressed by NDP MLAs who have spoken at hearings held by the federal review panel along the B.C. coast. Leader Adrian Dix sent an 11-page letter to the panel, then launched an attack on the BC Liberal government in the legislature that emphasized the letter’s top objection. Why doesn’t Premier Christy Clark stand up to Ottawa and protest the abandonment of the long-standing “moratorium and exclusion zone” on oil tankers off B.C.’s north coast, Dix and NDP energy critic Rob Fleming demanded. Clark’s answer was the same one given for many years by federal and provincial governments. The 1972 federal “moratorium” was directed at offshore oil drilling, not tankers bound for B.C. A separate Canada-U.S. agreement in 1998 calls for U.S. tankers to avoid B.C.’s Inside Passage as they transport Alaska crude oil to re-

fineries in Washington state and further south. I asked Fleming for documentation that shows tankers are banned from B.C.’s north coast. He said it is “fragmented,” which means he doesn’t have any. Nor does the NDP’s heavily footnoted letter to the federal panel offer any source for this assertion. This argument flared up in 2006 after Methanex Corp. shut down its Kitimat methanol plant. Instead of shipping methanol out, a practice that was never questioned, it started bringing tankers To into the Kitimat port loaded with a liquid natural gas by-product called condensate. From there it is sent by rail to Alberta to dilute oil sands crude. This process led to Enbridge’s proposed double pipeline that would send condensate east and diluted crude west. The Dogwood Initiative, one of the multiple U.S.funded groups that now dom-

inate B.C.’s environmental lobby, rose to protest these early condensate shipments, saying they violate a moratorium on tankers. Wrong, said Don Rodden, superintendent of environmental response for the Canadian Coast Guard Pacific Region. The 1972 moratorium “wouldn’t apply to vessels coming into Canadian ports like Kitimat,” Rodden told the Globe and Mail at the time. The Coast Guard would be the agency legally required to enforce such a tanker ban, if one existed. As I’ve mentioned before, there are lem gitimate arguments against the Northern Gateway proposal. This hippy-fantasy tanker moratorium isn’t one of them. The Northern Gateway pipeline would generate as many as 350 tanker trips each year to and from Kitimat. More than twice that many tankers already sail each year through the Strait of Juan de Fuca, past the Gulf and San Juan Islands.

B.C. Views

Fletcher

Many are heading to refinery complexes at March Point and Cherry Point in Washington. These supertankers can be seen sailing past Victoria most days. Strangely, this U.S. crude traffic excites no protests. Some of the smaller tankers come in to fill up from the Trans-Mountain pipeline in Burnaby, whose operator is preparing a bid for expansion. This attracts protests organized by people paid to oppose Alberta “tar sands” oil. Where do urban protesters think we get the gasoline and diesel fuel sold at B.C. filling stations? Do they think it’s all made at the little Chevron refinery in Burnaby, the last remnant of refining capacity in southern B.C.? We could use a serious debate about how B.C. handles petroleum. Instead, we see factually inaccurate claims promoted by U.S. interests to attack Canadian crude only. Our opposition politicians and media mostly just go along for the ride.

YOUR VIEWS Patience during transition appreciated

Thanks for help Editor, The Record: I park my car at the West Coast Express parking lot every week day. Recently, two not-so-gentlemen broke into the car. A passerby saw what was happening and called the RCMP. I want to thank the RCMP who responded immediately to the call and stopped the two in the middle of ransacking and potentially stealing my vehicle. I will always be especially grateful to the driver of the Mission street sweeping unit who didn’t just call the RCMP when he saw men going through the inside of my vehicle, but also stopped to put back into my car everything the thieves had tossed onto the pavement. He also took the time to re-lock my vehicle. As I work in Vancouver, it was a great relief to know that all would be safe and intact until I got back to Mission. To everyone who helped, thank you so very much. M. E. Killick Mission

A $30-million townhouse development at Cedar Street and Tunbridge Avenue unanimously passed third reading at public hearing Monday, overturning a previous council decision. The original development called for 38 townhouses and 21 single family homes with coach houses on a parcel of land south of Machell Street, west of Cedar, but was defeated 5-2 during public hearing March 26. Parking issues, increased traffic, roadway and laneway widths, a lack of parkland, and secondary suites were the primary concerns voiced from residents and politicians. But following a special request for reconsideration from Mayor Ted Adlem on April 2, developer Rick Redekop spoke with the planning department to hammer out a

new proposal. “We tried to do whatever we could to make it a better process for everybody,� said Redekop after the hearing, adding he felt he covered the main worries, including that potential secondary suites would increase neighbourhood density without the additional tax benefit. The new plan puts a restricted covenant on the coach houses that prevents renters, and the singlefamily homes will not be allowed exterior access to basement suites. Those changes are expected to address some of the density issues, although the revised proposal contains the same density of 59 units. However, the planning department notes the official community plan (OCP) designation already provides a minimum density of 67 units and a maximum of 174. Lone opponent Ben Kruger made three requests that be be-

lieved would mollify residents, including eliminating the Cedar Street median to allow for a leftturn entry so traffic is reduced on Machell, removing the basements altogether, and installing a large sandbox for children. “I still don’t like postage stampsized lots, but I don’t have to live in one if I don’t want to,� said Coun. Dave Hensman, adding the changes, while not perfect, allowed him to support the project. The townhomes are expected to range from $260,000 to $300,000, with the single-family homes going for $400,000 to $450,000, depending on market conditions. The developer must still submit a community amenity contribution of $163,270, among other requirements from the municipality, and authorization from senior levels of government regarding the environmentally sensitive areas before the project can be adopted.

om may appreciate chocolate or flowers. But for children who want to offer her something a little more special — especially for their eco-conscious moms — there are a number of different gift options to make Mom’s big day as eco-friendly as it is enjoyable. An eco-friendly gift for Mom is a gift that keeps on giving. When you jot down your gift idea list, think about adding these “green” gifts. • Make a basket of gardening gear. Garden plants and supplies are perhaps the greenest gifts to give

Mom. Plants are so plentiful and varied that there are bound to be ideal flowers or greenery for every mother’s tastes. • Dine at a local restaurant. To make the experience eco-friendly, select among restaurants that are close to home in the area. • Pamper mom with organic products. What mom doesn’t enjoy a little pampering from time to time? • Spend the day outdoors. Most moms cherish any gift from their children, whether lavish or simple. A nice, eco-friendly gift is to spend time together.

Celebrating more than Moms on Mother’s Day E

Mother’s Day presents an opportunity to celebrate Mom and any other special women in your life.

very spring individuals celebrate their mothers on Mother’s Day. It has evolved from a day to honour mothers to one that recognizes all special women. Therefore, if there is a woman in one’s life who isn’t a biological mother — but special nonetheless — Mother’s Day can be a time to tell her how much she is appreciated. There are many reasons a person may want to honour a woman that is not his or her mother. Perhaps the person’s own mother has passed away or is not prominent in this individual’s life. Maybe there is a grandmother or aunt with whom one is especially close. There may be a teacher or mentor that has touched the life of a person in a special way. For those who are celebrating all women on

Mother’s Day, here are some ways to set the day apart. • Create a handmade card with personalized sentiments that reflect the unique relationship with this special woman.

This can mean more than a prepurchased card that may not offer the right words. • Find out her interests and spend a day doing entirely what she wants. • Treat her to a special

dinner. Ask about favourite foods and create a meal at home. If dining out is a must, choose a day other than Mother’s Day to avoid the crowds and have intimate moments with just the two

of you. • Find something you both enjoy and then go and do that. • Have an extended family fiesta. Host a Mother’s Day party at home.

World’s Top Coin Collectors in Town Next Week to Purchase All Types of Coins! By DAVID MORGAN STAFF WRITER

ICC will be placing ads in newspapers, radio and running television spots this week asking people to bring in any old silver and gold coins made before 1968 and U.S. coins made before 1970. Those that bring in their coins will be able to speak with collectors one on one and have their coins looked at by a specialist. With the help of these ICC members, offers will be made to those that have coins made before 1968. Offers will be made based on silver or gold content and the rarity of the coins. All coins made before 1968 will be examined and purchased including gold coins, silver coins, silver dollars, all types of nickels and pennies. Those that decide to sell their coins will be paid on the spot. If you are like a lot of people you might have a few old coins or even a coffee can full lying around. If you have ever wondered what they are worth now might be your chance to find out and even sell them if you choose. They could be worth a lot according to the International Coin Collectors also known as ICC. Collectors will pay a fortune for some coins and currency for their collections. If it is rare enough, one coin could be worth over $100,000 according to Eric Helms, coin collector and ICC member. One ultra rare dime, an 1894S Barber, sold for a record $1.9 million to a collector in July of 2007. While that is an extreme example, many rare and valuable coins are stashed away in dresser drawers or lock boxes around the country. The ICC and its collector members have organized a traveling event in search of all types of coins and currency. Even common coins can be worth a significant amount due to the high price of silver and gold, says Helms. Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes can be worth many times their face value. Recent silver markets have driven the price up on common coins made of silver. Helms explains that all U.S. half dollars, quarters and dimes made before 1970 contain 90% silver and are sought after any time silver prices rise. Right now it’s a sellers market he said. The rarest coins these collectors are looking for include $20, $10, $5 and $2 1/2 gold coins and any coin made before 1850. These coins always bring big premiums according to the ICC. Silver dollars are also very sought after nowadays. Other types of items the ICC will be purchasing during this event include U.S. currency, gold bullion, investment gold, silver bars, silver rounds, proof sets, etc. Even foreign coins are sought after and will be purchased.

Here’s How It Works: Also at this event anyone can sell their gold jewellery, dental gold or anything made of gold on the spot. Gold is currently trading at record high prices. Bring anything you think might be gold and the collectors will examine, test and price it for free. If you decide to sell, you will be paid on the spot – it has been an unknown fact that coin dealers have always paid more for jewellery and scrap gold than other jewelers and pawn brokers. So whether you have one coin you think might be valuable or a large collection you recently inherited, you can talk to these collectors for free. If your’re lucky you may have a rarity worth thousands. Either way there is nothing to lose and it sounds like fun!

Election signs from the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and other unions were deployed during the 2005 election campaign. RECORD FILE PHOTO

BC Liberals try election gag law again B.C. Supreme Court judge as an unjustified restriction on freedom of speech. Premier Christy Clark said some spending limit on the pre-campaign period is justified, since the province went to scheduled elections in 2005. Current rules restrict party and non-party spending during a formal 28-day election campaign, but contain no limits on spending before that period. The government intends to submit the proposed 40-day restriction to the B.C. Supreme Court before it takes effect. If a judge approves, the new restrictions would apply for the election set for May of 2013.

BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

The B.C. government is attempting to restore limits on third-party election spending that were struck down by a judge before the 2009 vote. Attorney General Shirley Bond has introduced amendments that would put limits on spending by unions, business groups and other non-party advertisers in the 40 days before the official start of an election campaign. A previous 60-day limit was challenged by seven public sector unions, led by the BC Teachers’ Federation, and rejected by a

NDP justice critic Leonard Krog said the latest effort will likely be challenged again and rejected again. If the BC Liberals want to reform election spending, they should ban corporate and union donations to political parties as the NDP and BC Conservative parties have advocated, Krog said. In 2008, the BC Liberal government passed amendments to the B.C. Elections Act limiting spending by non-party advocacy groups to no more than $150,000 in the 60 days before the official 28-day election campaign. Registered political parties were restricted to spending $2.2 million during that time.

their submissions on the impact of the changes that critics say will gut the law that protects fish habitat. “What commission counsel has done is said if something wasn’t in your final submissions that this new bill impacts, you’re welcome to make another submission and we’ll look at those,� inquiry spokesperson Carla Shore said. The Conservative government’s budget implementation bill includes the contentious amendments to the Fisheries Act. If passed, the clause protecting fish habitat by banning “harmful alteration, disruption and destruction� of fish habitat will be removed and replaced with one that outlaws “serious harm�

tto stocks ffished by commerccial, recreaational or aaboriginal uusers. Cohen Federal officials have described it as a more practical approach that focuses more on real threats to productive fisheries and less on blanket protection of riparian ecosystems. No longer would authorization always be required to disrupt any fish habitat, for example, if the planned work doesn’t affect stocks used by any fisheries. Watershed Watch Salmon Society executive director Craig Orr, who chairs a coalition of conservation groups with standing at the inquiry,

said he and other participants will definitely file their concerns. “It raises the threshold for what is considered to be serious harm to fish,� he said. “Without a doubt we all think this really does strike at the heart of what Cohen should be considering. It has huge implications to our ability to protect salmon.� Orr said he’s concerned the changes could mean that penalties would only be triggered if fish are killed or there is permanent harm to habitat. The inquiry had already heard testimony that habitat protection laws aren’t well enough enforced as well as questions about the effectiveness of the no-net loss policy – now to be reviewed – that requires habitat lost to de-

velopment be offset with improvements elsewhere. Justice Bruce Cohen wrapped up commission hearings in late December and had been preparing his findings on how to reverse a long-term decline of sockeye, although a recent extension now gives him until the end of September to deliver them. Ottawa say the changes won’t alter the ban on the dumping of chemicals or other dangerous pollutants into any water way. Officials also say there are provisions to establish ecologically sensitive areas where higher levels of protection can be required. The NDP Opposition called the changes a sweeping and inappropriate narrowing of habitat protection.

Large number of thefts from vehicles since start of May Mission RCMP have been inundated with 38 calls about thefts from vehicles in the first week of May. This recent rash brings the total number of cases to 66 since April, the highest reported in that month in the past five years, said Mounties. “Crime analysis has shown that since Jan. 1 of this year, Mission has

already had 234 reported incidents of theft from auto,â€? said Sgt. Miriam Dickson. “This equated to a value in loss and damages of $95,000.â€? These crimes are sporadic and are occurring in neighborhoods throughout Mission. Here are ways to protect your property: • Remove all valuables. Never leave anything on

Firefighters find grow op in Jacobsen Street workshop Firefighters spent nearly four hours battling a stubborn fire on Jacobsen Street Friday morning in Mission. Neighbours reported a shop on fire around 2 a.m., which drew Mission Fire/Rescue members from all three stations to the rural area, located just off Keystone Avenue. Flames were shooting from the roof when firefighters arrived, and found a marijuana grow operation in the outbuilding. An RCMP investigation continues.

When parking at home, use your garage, and be sure

to lock both your vehicle and your garage door. If you don’t have a garage, try to park in a well lit, open space. Close all vehicle windows and lock the doors. If you have information, call 604-826-7161. If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or leave a tip at www.bccrimestoppers.com.

Walking trails part of strategy to make the district healthier BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

Mission wants to become the Fraser Valley’s walking capital. Mayor Ted Adlem appears in a YouTube video to talk about Mission’s 16 major trails totalling 150 kilometres of walking space, some of which are jointly maintained with BC Hydro around Hayward and Stave Lakes. That’s just what exists at present, said Adlem, as the district is hoping to expand trails to the interpretive forest west of Stave Lake. At 10,500 hectares, Mission’s municipal forest is 20 times larger than Stanley Park. The video was featured during a visit from nearly two dozen Mission delegates to the first Healthy Living Trade

Construction of the proposed pump station and related works is scheduled to be completed during 2013 and the total estimated costs are $4,519,500. The Improvement District has approximately 50% of the funds required to meet DAID’s portion of planned expenditures. To fully Änance the proposed capital works the Board of Trustees have approved a Bylaw authorizing the Improvement District to borrow up to $750,000 which combined with available funds will meet DAID’s portion of the costs of the planned new pump station and costs of various other works. The Board of Trustees have estimated that annual repayment costs of the proposed loan (estimated at $50,000 per annum based on a 20 year amortization) will be offset by the fact that the annual budget will no longer include an allocation of approximately $50,000 for engineering studies and that as a result Trustees do not anticipate a requirement to increase the diking tax mill rate at this time. A Resolution which will be put forward at the AGM is as follows: “The ratepayers of Dewdney Area Improvement District hereby approve for borrowing $750,000 to assist in Änancing the new pump station and to construct other various other works that will improve drainage in Hatzic Prairie and improve recreational usage of Hatzic Lake.” www.daid.ca

Valley Mountain Bike Association to create more trail opportunities. The Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce, a supporter of the Mission Healthy Community Council (MHCC), sent chamber manager Michelle Favero to the trade show. “The difference that Mission offers, its competitive advantage, is that our trails go from easy, like Heritage Park, to extremely difficult. And you don’t have to go very far to meet those needs,” she said. The other attraction is the rugged wilderness here, not simply urban parks, she added. Mission received poor marks in a March issue of the national magazine Money Sense, ranking the census metropolitan area of Abbotsford-Mission 172nd out of 190 municipalities for the ability to walk or bike to work. But Adlem said the reality is that until Mission gets more jobs, it will remain a largely carcommuting municipality. “That doesn’t mean when you drive home you can’t go over to Fraser River Heritage Park and walk for 45 minutes,” he added. Favero agreed that the vast distances between different areas of Mission makes ditching the car impractical, but said it doesn’t detract from what the district has to offer for personal health. “I live in a rural area but I walk five minutes and I’m on 17 kilometres of trail around a lake. Anywhere else I have to get in a bus to do that.” Fraser Health has committed to Healthier Community Partnerships, which was initiated in January. Community commitments range from cities building walking trails to creating school vegetable gardens for lunch programs. The MHCC, co-chaired by Fraser Health and the District of Mission, is comprised of representatives from council, health-related organizations, Mission Public Schools, and a number of non-profit and community organizations.

The Mission Record Thursday, May 10, 2012 17

Police cracking down on high-risk driving Mission RCMP and ICBC launched a highrisk driving awareness and enforcement campaign last Wednesday, looking for speeders and distracted motorists. About 60 per cent of crashes happen at intersections in B.C. – that is, 241 crashes per day and more than 51,000 people injured every year. Many driving behaviours may seem harmless, like tailgating or failing to yield the right-of-way, but the truth is they increase your risk of crashing at intersections, potentially injuring or killing yourself and others.

The campaign focuses on speeding, failure to yield, following too closely, ignoring a traffic control device and improper passing. Here are a few safety tips: • Slow down as you approach intersections and remember that a yellow light means you should stop if you can do so safely. • When making a left turn, be extra careful and always yield to pedestrians and oncoming traffic. Always use your turn signal well before you make a move — it helps others know what you’re doing.

• Leave enough space between your car and the one in front of you so you have more time to react to the unexpected. • Shoulder check for cyclists before turning

right or pulling away from a curb and watch for oncoming cyclists before turning left. • As the weather gets warmer, more motorcyclists will be hitting the

road so be on the lookout, especially when turning left. Motorcyclists are hard to see and it can be difficult to judge their speed and intentions, so yield the right of way.

Search begins for provincial municipal auditor BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

The B.C. government has appointed a committee to select and oversee its new auditor general for local government, and the minister responsible says controversy over the move seems to have subsided.

Community, Sport and Culture Minister Ida Chong said criticism of the move last year was a result of “confusion” about how the new auditor would operate. “It’s not about finding fault, not about imposing new rules,” Chong said as she introduced the audit committee members. “It’s about helping

to find efficiencies.” Chong said local government representatives have seen the enabling legislation and now understand that auditor will be independent of the B.C. government and its recommendations will not be binding. While some municipal leaders were suspicious, one the

early advocates of the new office was Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard. He said he learned the value of performance audits before entering politics, when he ran three tire stores that are part of a national chain of 300 outlets. Auditors were able to answer questions such as “why were my fleet costs in Lang-

ford so much higher than what it was in West Kelowna?” Leonard said. The audit committee is chaired by Anthony Ariganello, president of the Certified General Accountants Association of Canada. Other members are Rick Heney, a Kamloops lawyer; Donalda MacDonald, a vice-

president of Westminster Savings Credit Union; Lisa Payne, chief operating officer for software maker Colligo Networks; and Tim Wood, former municipal administrator for Saanich, Penticton and Cranbrook. The committee’s first task is to advertise the position and hire a local government auditor.

Cedar Valley Manor is selling quickly and it is easy to see why. The Mission Association for Seniors Housing (MASH) has a new project on the go. After successfully developing and operating The Cedars, MASH is now developing Cedar Valley Manor, a life lease for independent seniors. Cedar Valley Manor has been purposely designed for seniors in Mission who want to downsize but who are also looking for a warm and supportive community where life is simple. As Judith Ray, the President of MASH says: “Residents can live maintenance free at Cedar Valley Manor. Here they will be able to carry on living in the community they love without having to worry about the yard, snow removal, and the upkeep of their house. And as a Life Lease,” she continues “Mission seniors will have their financial interests secured and looked after as well.” Many people have been wondering about the “Life Lease” model used at Cedar Valley Manor, and as explained by Kate Mancer, Director of Cedar Valley Manor: “Life Lease is a form of tenure perfectly suited to seniors. It allows them

to securely use the equity built up after years of home ownership and provides a wonderful sense of community.” In a Life Lease the resident pays an upfront cost, or “entrance fee,” which is used to pay for the construction of the building, plus a monthly fee which includes general building upkeep and replacement reserves. Taxes are extra but life lease residents qualify for the Homeowner Grant. When people move out, they get 95% of their money back— with no worries about the real estate market and estate planning is so simple. Life lease residents don’t have to worry about management concerns, or being part of a strata council—all of that is looked after by a trusted community-based non-profit organization. Residents know their interests are being looked after by a group whose sole purpose is to provide good quality affordable housing for the seniors of Mission. The MASH mission statement sums it all up perfectly: “Caring for Those Who Cared for Us.”

WHAT? I am running the 55K Ultra Marathon on Discovery Trail with Ray Zahab.

WHY? When I run I usually pray. I remember kids in Africa who need to walk for miles to get water; they inspire me to run. They need clean, accessible water so that they can go to school and grow up healthy. I run past one pasture quite regularly. Much as I like steak, milk and cheese, I hate the smell of cows. When it rains, the stuff from the pasture flows onto the street, and it stinks. Yet kids in Africa are often stuck with water from sources that have cattle drinking from them and polluting the water. I run because it is the least I can do for these kids.

Leverage your small town appeal with customers

W

hen was the last time a customer told you how exceptional your service was? As a customer, how often do you vote with your feet based on your experience? In this new economic realty it is fundamental to any business to forge relationships that will build sales. In his Ted Talk, marketing guru John Gerzema talks about the postcrisis consumer. He lists four shifts in values of consumerism: déclassé consumption, ethics and fair play, durable living and cooperative consumerism. He notes consumers are educated to marketing techniques and are looking to reconnect with how they spend their money. This is a 180 degree shift from the mass consumerism that we have all witnessed prior to the economic crisis that has come in waves to our community. Most customers, whether they are consumers or business, shop in a place they know has the product, based on price and where they are known. Beyond the product they are looking for respect and to be valued as part of the experience. Building a relationship is more than ensuring customers are on the e-newsletter list or carry your loyalty card; it is about building a future transaction or referral. Creating a positive and engaged experience develops the relationship. On April 19, Worldhost Master Trainer Suzanne Carter brought her customer service expertise to the

Chamber luncheon. She shared a great story about an amazing customer experience that she had in Mission though she lives in North Vancouver. Suzanne was thinking of buying a Jeep and had time to kill before meeting her parents for dinner at Mission Springs, so she stopped in at Pioneer Chrysler. In her story, she relayed how well she had been treated and how the salesperson valued her time and interest. The outcome was she bought the Jeep and continued to

have it serviced in Mission as long as she owned it, even though she lived over an hour away. Suzanne’s story illustrates how one interaction can leverage further business, but by sharing it with the group, how referral stems from these positive experiences. Being viewed as a “small town”, Mission has a competitive edge to attract business by leveraging the customer service experience. Building on Suzanne’s testimony, it was this

Province eyes motorcycle power limits BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

The B.C. government has followed through on its promise to regulate motorcycle helmets, with restrictions on the horsepower available to new riders coming in the next year. Justice Minister Shirley Bond announced Monday that the new helmet regulation takes effect June 1, requiring riders to wear helmets that meet Canadian and international safety standards. Many of the minimal-coverage “beanie” helmets favoured by some bikers will soon be eligible for a $138 ticket. Regulations will also require passengers to have their feet on foot pegs or floorboards while riding. Children who can’t reach the foot pegs will no longer be allowed as passengers, and drivers will be subject to tickets for that as well. Bond said restrictions will be developed by next spring that will set a limit on the horsepower of motorcycles used by new riders. The new rule will be an extension of the graduated licence restrictions for all new drivers. The power restrictions were sought by Denise Lodge, who began lobby-

The organization will now be known locally as Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Fraser Valley. The agency will continue to operate from its three offices in Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Mission, with active programming in those areas as well as Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, Hope and with the Sts’ailes Band. The amalgamation was a two-year process, but it was a logical move, said treasurer Corbin Kempenaar. Merging the operations will enable the agency to better focus on its purpose of matching volunteer mentors with local children, he added.

getting a learner’s permit and buying a modified, high-speed motorcycle. “I kept saying, if only he didn’t have such a

powerful bike,” said Lodge, struggling to maintain her composure as she spoke at a news conference in Victoria.

“If he only had the training. If only he had experience.” Lodge soon learned of motorcycle power

restrictions in place in European countries, and began seeking similar regulations for B.C. Bond said she plans

to have consultations on power limits complete by this fall, and new rules in place before motorcycle riding season next year.

Canadians are living longer and costs for the Old Age Security (OAS) are rising. On April 1, 2023 the Government of Canada plans to start raising the age of eligibility for OAS and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) from 65 to 67.*

The age of eligibility for OAS/GIS will change gradually between 2023 and 2029

Volunteerism on the decline across the nation D id you know that the number of youth who reported serving in the community for one hour or more a week in a 2008 survey of 2100

Mission high school youth was 40 per cent? “The outdated stereotype of the volunteer as an older woman wearing a hat and carrying a basket prevails

in spite of the nearly eight million Canadians who look just like you and me and who volunteer each year.” (Linda Graff and Paul Reed). Silent, yet major

shifts are taking place in Canada’s voluntary sector. In fact, research on volunteerism in Canada demonstrates much change in less than a generation’s

time. Graff and Reed, two Canadian experts on volunteering state that communities have been built on a foundation of civic involvement, compassion and

concern for others from which we are internationally recognized. What does declining volunteerism mean for Mission? Volunteers are es-

timated to put in a billion hours of effort annually in Canada, much of this occurring silently. As volunteerism has traditionally been a value in Canadian society, we may take these silent helpers for granted. In Mission, program cuts to nonprofit and community organizations often result in an increased dependency on volunteers. All age groups are positively impacted by volunteers in Mission, including at-risk pregnant women, children and youth, the homeless and vulnerable, to home-bound seniors and elders. National Volunteer Week has just come and gone. If you are a volunteer or you know one in Mission, congratulate them on their honorable dedication in putting community first and self second. To learn more about community development in Mission, join us May 30 between 7 and 8 p.m. at the Leisure Centre for a community conversation. Children are welcome, snacks and activities will be available. Draw prize includes two Cineplex movie passes, and two popcorns. Please RSVP to Kirsten Hargreaves khargreaves@mission. ca or 604-820-3752. 40 Assets: Helping Children and Youth Thrive is a volunteerbased working group in Mission within the District of Mission’s Social Development Program. The Did You Know article series focuses in on results from the 40 Developmental Assets Survey completed in 2008 by 2,100 Mission high school youth. If you would like to get involved, contact Kirsten Hargreaves, manager of social development at 604-8203752 or khargreaves@ mission.ca.

Rick Hansen relay rolling through Mission May 16 This is the route the Rick Hansen Relay will follow through Mission next Wednesday. SUBMITTED MAP

The Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay passes through Mission May 16, celebrating the Man in Motion’s original panCanadian wheelchair tour to bring awareness to people living with spinal cord injuries.

Though Hansen himself likely won’t be making the trip, Mission’s deputy director of parks, recreation and culture, Stephanie Key, said he wants others to pass the figurative torch. Except instead of torches, they’ll

be bearing special medals crafted by the Canadian Mint. Although more than 20 medal bearers will each complete a 350-metre leg of the journey through the district, Doug Pearson has been chosen to

be the official medal bearer for Mission. Hansen became a Canadian icon when he began his world tour on March 21, 1985 in Vancouver, inspired by fellow British Columbian Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope. The relay is set up to trace his Canadian route 25 years ago and the district has some historical photographs from when the Man in Motion first passed through. The local celebration takes place from noon to 2:30 p.m. at the Leisure Centre. There will be music, a wheelchair obstacle course, storytime, games for pre-schoolers, a magician, a Rick Hansen video and photo display, a barbecue lunch, an anniversary cake and balloons, and more.

SCCBC action May 12-13 After a successful opening round of road racing at the River’s Edge Road Course at Mission Raceway Park last month, the Sports Car Club of B.C. (SCCBC) is gearing up for round two this weekend with a full program of racing. With a large number of new cars and/or drivers comprising the approximately 100 entries for the first weekend, that momentum is expected to continue on Saturday and Sunday at Mission. Drivers compete in two different classes of closed wheel (full body) or open wheel formula cars, and there are also groups for vintage, solo and novice racers. The fastest are capable of nearly 200 km/h on the front straight before having to brake for the turn one hairpin. The larger fields will consist of some 30 cars, ensuring lots of wheel-towheel racing. The event, sanctioned by the Conference of Autosport Car Clubs, has a complete qualifying and racing program each Saturday and Sunday for the closed wheel, open wheel and vintage classes, while the solo and

novice drivers race Saturday only. Following the 9 a.m. practice and qualifying, 20-minute races (15 for the vintage cars) start after lunch. The SCCBC was founded as a non-profit society in 1951. Members first raced at Abbotsford Airport from 1952 to 1956. In 1957 members raised funds through debentures and built a road course in Coquitlam on Crown land known as Westwood Motorsport Park, which closed in 1990. The club has been racing on the road course at Mission Raceway Park since 1994. Admission fees are $10 per day, or $25 per car load. There is ample parking and children 12 and under are free, making for an economical day’s entertainment. Spectators are welcome to tour the paddock and see the cars and drivers close up. Posters are available for collecting autographs. There is a food concession on site operated by White Spot. Mission Raceway Park is located on Highway 11 between the Mission Bridge and the Lougheed Highway. For more information visit www. missionracewaypark.com.

Orangemen finish 10th in provincials Competition was tough for the Orangemen 15U Crush during the 2012 “Nothing But Volleyball” Provincial Championships this past weekend. The Orangemen Volleyball Club (OVC), who practise in Abbotsford, were one of only 13 competi-

tive and well-established teams, and after a few upsets ended up in 10th place. Mission boys Max Chadwick, Luke Braaksma and Travis MacKenzie make up a team of 14 Fraser Valley athletes. This was the first year the group

played together as a team and due to the efforts of head coach Kit Williams and assistant coaches Jason Vanderende, Rick Ball and Ben Jansen, the Crush are readying for next year. In 2012 OVC added the 15U and 16U age groups to the existing 17/18U teams.

Smoke alarms save lives In 2010 the B.C. Fire Code was amended to state that all residential buildings must be equipped with a smoke alarm. The regulations include residences constructed prior to 1979, which had previously been exempt. This includes private residences, hotels, motels and other buildings that provide sleeping accommodations. Battery operated smoke alarms are comparatively inexpensive and easy to install, but Mission Fire Chief Ian Fitzpatrick firefighters still find buildings where they are absent. “A lot of the older places don’t have them,” he said. The law which was amended in 2010, targeted 800,000

properties across the province that were build prior to 1979. Landlords must make sure their rental properties comply with the law. Tenants are asked to contact their landlord immediately if they do not have smoke alarms, or if they are not in working order.

New homes are built with smoke alarms that connect to the electrical system. Fitzpatrick said firefighters have seen numerous scenarios where a smoke alarm saved a property from burning down, or even saved someone’s life, and they are an easy way to improve fire

District of Mission Core Services Review Opportunity for Public Participation Acton Consulting Ltd. is currently conducting an independent Core Services Review (Review) for the District of Mission. This Review is aimed at improving municipal services and at providing maximum taxpayer value. As part of this Review we are seeking input from the community.

safety. How to stay protected • Install smoke alarms according to manufacturer’s specifications. • Develop a fire escape plan and practice it with the entire household, so when the smoke alarms sounds everyone knows how to escape safely. • Test your smoke alarms monthly and change the batteries every year. • Never remove the batteries from a smoke alarm. • If nuisance alarms are a problem, try moving the alarm to another location, or purchase an alarm with a hush feature, which temporarily silences the alarm. • Smoke alarms don’t last forever. Replace them if they are more than 10 years old.

We encourage all community members and taxpayers to attend this public open house. Your participation is important to the success of the District of Mission’s Core Services Review. We look forward to your involvement in this community dialogue. For information please contact: Acton Consulting Ltd. mission@consultacton.com

Spring is here and you may find yourself out for a stroll around the neighbourhood, or maybe down some country roads. On occasion, you may find that someone has used the area to dump household wastes, or construction materials, diapers, and other items. While these types of finds are unpleasant, generally upsetting and obviously not resulting from any level of community consciousness, there are some materials that should send you heading in the opposite direction immediately. Coming across generic 20-litre pails with lids, 45-gallon

drums, together with black garbage bags or other plastic containers can be of serious concern, as they often contain the byproducts of illicit drug manufacture, and most of these substances are highly toxic. Do not investigate dumps of this nature. Do not touch, kick, move or open any of the containers, but call the fire department at 604820-3793 or 604820-3794 at your earliest convenience. Report the exact location of the dumped materials, approximately how many pails, drums and bags you found, whether the materials were dumped in or near

It’s bear season in Mission again It’s around this time of year that bears are coming out of hibernation. They’ve fasted all winter and are now on the lookout for food. Once they find a meal, they will be back for seconds, and they will teach their cubs what they know. Bears are attracted by smells. If it smells like food to them, they will investigate. Bears are most attracted by garbage, compost, bird seed, pet food and ripening fruit. We all can help by storing all garbage, compost and recyclables inside, removing bird feeders from

April to November, feeding pets inside and promptly picking ripe fruit out of our gardens. Please also remember that garbage, recyclables and compost should never be placed at the curb the night before collection, but must be out on the morning of collection day by 8:00 a.m. For more information, visit www.bearaware. bc.ca or call the District’s Engineering Department at 604820-3736.

What’s Happening in Mission

GOD IS IN CONTROL

One of my colleagues at work has a picture on her desk of two sparrows talking to each other, and one sparrow is asking the other “Why do people always seem to be rushing around and fretting about everything?” The other sparrow responds “I don’t know, but perhaps they don’t have a God who watches over them as our God watches over us.” How ironic that we should need to be reminded of God’s watchful, loving eyes by little birds. Sometimes it is as if we are literally carrying the weight of the whole world on our own narrow shoulders. And, no one’s shoulders are broad enough for that. God’s expectations for us are modest. He wants us to love and care for our fellow human beings as best we can; but, He isn’t expecting us individually to be responsible for the entire planet. So, we should relax. God is in control, and therefore even when it may not appear as if all things are going according to some cosmic, divine plan, we must know that they are unfolding exactly as they should. As the Zen master says, “The snowflake never falls in the wrong place.”

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s will. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. R.S.V. Matthew 10:29-31 WEST HEIGHTS GOSPEL CHAPEL SUNDAY

Smitty Miller, the Fraser Valley Regional Library community development libraries, in the Library Live car LiLi. NEIL CORBETT PHOTO

Taking libraries on the road With music booming out of their modern rethink of the traditional “bookmobile,” and a snack bar featuring a cake shaped like a 2012 Nissan Cube, the Fraser Valley Regional Library recently unveiled its latest program, Library Live and on Tour. Smitty Miller, the FVRL community development librarian, described how she will drive the vehicle that inspired the cake around the library region — an area that stretches from North Delta to Boston Bar — promoting adult literacy. With the mobile library she plans to connect with community members in seniors homes, transition houses, soup kitchens and other non-traditional places. “I want to reach people who don’t think of, or normally go to, the library,” she said. The Cube, dubbed LiLi, has an eye-catching paint job, enhanced audio donated by Clarion, two laptop computers with Internet connectivity, XBox Kinect games and an assortment of other gadgets. Abbotsford’s own 360 Fabrication donated $20,000 worth of design and equipment, from a 36-inch LCD screen installation to an “aooga” car horn. Miller said they will give away books, use the computer system to sign up new library users, promote computer skills and literacy skills, and even clear up library fines. She and LiLi are out to shatter stereotypes about libraries, librarians and library users. For more information contact libarylive@fvrl.bc.ca.

ANNUAL GREEN THUMB

William Douglas

2 WEEKENDS!! 9am-3pm

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Douglas Adair at Abbotsford Regional Hospital at the age of 81 following a long illness. He is predeceased by his; loving wife of 57 years, Lorna Adair in 2011. Doug will be missed by his sons, Bruce (Patricia), Robin (Marisa), Ian (Thipp) and David (Brenda) as well as his grandchildren Amy (Matt), Tristan, Bryan, Megan, Justine and Rachel. He will also be sadly missed by his sister Mary Drew Schmidt (Herb) and family of Calgary and his many McWillliams, Chambers and Armstrong cousins in Vancouver. Doug was born in Washington State during the time his father was managing the Seattle branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce during the great depression. When the United States entered the Second World War the Adair’s moved back to Vancouver where Doug attended Magee High School. A highlight of his teenage years was serving The Royal Canadian Sea cadets and later in the Canadian Reserves with the New Westminster Regiment. He was a long time member of the Royal Canadian Legion. While working for the Bank of Commerce in Williams Lake Doug met a nurse named Lorna Fearn and the couple soon wed and settled in Mission in 1954 where they raised 4 children as well as two teenage Fearn cousins, Jim (Syvil) and Joan (Barry). A strong member of Kinsmen and later Rotary, the Adair’s sponsered two international exchange students to live with their family. They greatly enjoyed their year with Jan (from Australia) and later Kristian (from Denmark) and kept in close contact with them through the years. Upon early retirement, the Adair’s sold their family home and spent three years (1986-1989) in Papua New Guinea where Doug worked as an accountant and a teacher in the mission store and warehouse. The couple returned to Mission from overseas and Doug served two terms on Mission Council. Later, he sat on the board of the Fraser Valley Health Authority. He was a volunteer at the Mennonite Thrift Store in Mission and the Mission Archives where he researched the service records of hundreds of local veterans. In 1999 Doug and Lorna were awarded the Freedom of the City for their contribution to their community. In 2008 Doug received a British Columbia Community Achievement Award at Government House in Victoria. A celebration of Doug Adair’s life will be held at Cedar Valley Mennonite Church located at 32840 Janzen Avenue, Mission on Thursday May 17, 2012 at 1:00 pm. Flowers are gratefully declined in lieu of donations to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada.
