The speed limit on First Avenue in downtown Mission is being dropped to 40 km/h. Council wanted the speed to be reduced from the current 50 km/h to 30 km/h and made the request to Abbotsford-Mission MLA Randy Hawes, who referred the matter to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) earlier this year. In a letter dated Oct. 5, the MOTI stated the speed limit for all numbered highways is 50 km/h unless there is a school zone present. However, in recognition of Mission’s downtown revitalization project, the ministry granted a reduction. Mission Downtown Business Association’s executive director was disappointed the speed limit wasn’t altered to 30 km/h, but says this is a step in the right direction. Ronda Cushnie expects traffic calming will come as part of the revitalization plan to make First Avenue a pedestrian-friendly area. “Our dream is to have wide sidewalks, outdoor cafes, and green up some space,” said Cushnie. “Ultimately, we would like to see an overpass or bypass.” Council is also not satisfied with the reduction and Coun. Dave Hensman says he will keep fighting for the lower speed. Mayor Ted Adlem suggested Mission should consider, through the revitalization plan, taking over First Avenue from the provincial ministry.

RCMP look for victim’s minivan

BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

Homicide investigators have identified the woman found dead in her mobile home Thursday afternoon. Muriel Anne Elaine Monk, 47, is believed to be the victim of foul play, according to Sgt. Jennifer Pound of the RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). An autopsy to conclusively determine the cause of death was scheduled for Tuesday, she said. Results were not available by The Record’s press deadline. For the latest updates, please visit missioncityrecord.com. Police are trying to locate the victim’s vehicle, a green 1997 Dodge Caravan with B.C. licence plate 662RTH. Police were called to the 34000block of Lougheed Highway around 4 p.m. Oct. 4, and the site was cordoned off with yellow police tape for several hours. If you have any information, or have seen the minivan, call IHIT’s tipline at 1-877-551-4448, or send an e-mail to ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.

The The Mission Mission Record Record Thursday, Thursday, January January 3, 3, 2013 2013 33

Year in Review 2012 January The Sturgeon’s on the Fraser project received new life, as district council fulfilled an election promise to bring “McBarge” to public hearing. The proposed $10-million floating restaurant and marina at the foot of Horne Street had been stalled under the previous council, as the planning department considered the application incomplete without acquiring adjacent land for parking, referred to as the uplands. Mayor Ted Adlem moved that the previous CD-21 zone for the foreshore area of McBarge be rescinded of first and second reading, so that the new incarnation, CD-23 zone, could pass first and second reading and proceed to public hearing, which happened Jan. 30. The whole project had become a chicken-egg paradox, since Meakin was reportedly reluctant to acquire the land without approval of the project, while the district would not approve the project without a land use plan for parking. During question period former councillor Mike Scudder, who presided over the first application for McBarge, asked whether staff in the planning department have since changed their opinion that the project was considered incomplete. But now-retired chief administrative officer Glen Robertson was quick to say it wouldn’t be fair to ask staff to provide an opinion.

February Developer Howard Meakin stood up and triumphantly raised his fists over his head following approval of third reading of his floating restaurant at public hearing. The gesture was made half in jest, since the two-year battle to receive full approval may be only half over. Meakin must still follow a number of other requirements prior to adoption of the foreshore zone amending bylaw, including the acquisition of adjacent land to meet district parking requirements. Municipal hall was filled to capacity that night as overflow spectators sat in the foyer to listen to residents and past councillors. Meakin said the barge will be cleaned before it’s towed to Mission, but it will be refurbished and renovated here. “It’s not a mom and pop operation, but it’s a lot of money and it’s a lot of jobs,” he said, assuring people in attendance that Missionites would benefit from employment before and after project completion. Of the 28 written submissions sent to the district, 26 offered support for the project, including the tourism boards of regional municipalities, with just two opposed. In addition to securing the upland

properties, Meakin must also have a long-term lease of the foreshore area from the province, make dike improvements, provide engineering and landscaping plans, and other stipulations prior to full approval. • A proposed $80-million commercial and residential development at Wren Street and Lougheed Highway received environmental approval, according to developer Karel Carhoun. “After considering the proposed project mitigation, including avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures; proponent commitments; follow-up monitoring; and adaptive management, the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects,” reads the document. The decision, which Carhoun has been awaiting since September 2009, is an about-face from DFO, which the developer said had previously indicated in early January that it would not approve the venture. “I’m just happy to receive this authorization so we can move forward with the project,” said Carhoun. “It’s been two-and-a-half years and it’s been a very frustrating and costly process.” Carhoun’s project could generate as many as 1,000 jobs and provide about $2.5 million in additional property taxes to the district based on estimates made by Mission’s economic development officer, Stacey Crawford.

Sturgeon’s on the Fraser developer Howard Meakin (left), listens to comments at public hearing in January.

March The community came out to celebrate Mission fire station three’s 20th anniversary. A full hall of firefighters and many who helped bring the facility to life in 1991 were on hand to commemorate the occasion, including former district councillors, MLAs and retired firefighters. Cutting the cake for the event was Tom O’Beirne, who chaired the Southwest Mission Ratepayers when work to build the hall began. The event also marked a change of leadership at the hall, with District Chief Mike Lavallee retiring and handing his responsibilities over to Len Pesonen. These two men, along with three others, were original members of the station. • The District of Mission had not presented a budget with a zero per cent tax increase in at least 38 years, said Mayor Ted Adlem at a special council meeting to garner public input. That’s according to anecdotal conversations with long-time residents like Coun. Larry Nundal, who said he’s never heard of a budget going forward without a tax increase. “Council has a taxpayer-in-mind SEE NEXT PAGE

philosophy with regards to municipal finances,” said Coun. Tony Luck, finance chair. The achievement was no small task, as a Nov. 3 draft budget document from the district’s finance department indicated there would be a 6.18 per cent tax increase. Instead, staff in almost every department were asked to create a base budget at 90 per cent of 2011 levels, eventually resulting in $1.6 million in savings. This was done, said Luck, with minimal impact to jobs and services. The district has enacted several temporary cost-saving measures during the three-month Core Services Review, set to finish in June, including a hiring freeze, a freeze on council remu-

nerations, and a voluntary tax contribution on 2012 tax bills.

April One man was dead, and another was injured after a shooting on Manson Street in Hatzic. Mission RCMP said when they arrived at the home, located between Dann Avenue and Catchpole Avenue, they found one man, a 41-year-old Mission resident, inside the house shot in the head. The shooter, a 47-year-old Abbotsford man, was located outside, dead from a selfinflicted gunshot from a handgun. The victim was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital via air ambulance and is in critical condition, however, police say he will live. RCMP said the shooter

Her husband, Magnus Turner, said he believes there were two children living in the home. They were reportedly taken away by a family member in a car around 2 a.m. The Turners were watching television when the shooting took place and neither heard gunshots, but went to the front door when Magnus noticed emergency crews arrive and a K9 unit began searching the area.

Jacquelyn said the neighbours had moved in about a month ago. • Mission’s iconic landmark, the Bellevue Hotel, had been sold by owner Brad Fletcher, meaning it will change hands from a Fletcher to somebody outside the family for the first time in nearly 80 years. The hotel had been in the clan since 1935 when Brad’s grandparents, George and Mildred Fletcher, operated the Bellevue Lodge, consisting of 16 rooms and a cafe. Then in 1948-49 the hotel was completely rebuilt and the structure as it currently looks opened on July 27, 1949. Brad says he didn’t go looking for a buyer or decide to put the landmark up for sale himself. He was approached by a realtor who had clients interested in purchasing the hotel. “There was a large number of reasons that, when combined, persuaded me to sell the business. Among the more prominent factors were, the building is 63 years old and a challenge to maintain; the bar business has been in decline for a number of years and I believe that trend will continue; I did not think it was a good career for my daughter to become involved in,” he said. New owners took over operations June 2. • A divided audience packed council chambers as proponents of the $80-million Wren Creek development argued in favour of jobs and taxes, while opponents warned against irreparably damaging the environment. Roughly 30 people voiced their thoughts about the project before council voted 7-0 to approve third reading. SEE NEXT PAGE

Support and opposition to the development was divided right up the middle, with half speaking in favour and another 12 who couldn’t accept the application in its current form, mostly citing environmental concerns. Although many people took their five-minute time allotment to speak about environmental worries of developing 32 acres of the property, Mayor Ted Adlem surprised the room by saying the public hearing was just a land use question and that questions about the environment should be directed to senior levels of government. The developer first applied for a variance in June 2009, which spurred a Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA) screening, including investigation from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) to confirm that no harmful alteration or destruction of fish habitat would occur on the site. That process took nearly three years to complete, with DFO concluding in February that the project is “not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects,” though DFO took into account the proponent’s mitigation plan, which includes purchasing the nearby Sun Valley Trout Park, to be converted into a fish habitat preserve. Getting environmental approval had been tricky, with Environment Canada noting the area is a known habitat for 10 federally endangered species, while specifically the provincially red-listed Oregon Forestsnail had been found on the site.

OPINION

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

Don’t let generosity fade after Christmas

The new year is a time for second chances and new beginnings. A time to reset and refocus, and plot a new course. While the holidays remind of the importance of family, the dawn of 2013 offers us a chance for introspection. With that in mind, what will you do to make Delta a better place this year? How will you improve the lives and lot of your neighbours, strangers, friends, family and loved ones? Volunteerism and public service is the most noble use of one’s spare time, and benefits the entire community. But helping out doesn’t have to be an ordeal or a chore. It could be as simple as taking an elderly neighbor’s dog for a walk, holding a door open, or helping someone with their groceries to their car. For the more ambitious, there are dozens of service groups and non-profit charities based here in South Delta who would greatly appreciate your support. Don’t let the generosity of the Christmas season end as the new year dawns. Let it continue, and grow. This year, let us think of each other, and put our own needs second, whenever possible. And let us discover the value and satisfaction that comes with it. - South Delta Leader

Is gas the enviro-villain of 2013? T hey’re well on the way to stopping the expansion of oil exports to Asia. Now will B.C.’s American branch-plant environmental machine turn on natural gas? A couple of weeks ago I described the dispute between the Haisla Nation and the rest of the Coastal First Nations group over the pioneering of liquefied natural gas development on Haisla territory at Kitimat. Powerful chiefs of the Heiltsuk, Gitga’at, Haida and others in the so-called Great Bear Rainforest oppose the idea of kicking off a new LNG export industry without extending the hydro grid to support renewable power for the region. LNG is shaping up as B.C.’s largest-ever industrial project, if it gets built. And there are signs the Americandirected environmental attack is swinging to our gas boom. Some in the Canadian media insist no such U.S. influence exists, or that it is trivial and benign. They mock federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver’s

description of “foreign radicals,” pretending this applies to everyone opposed to oil pipelines. There weren’t many reporters with me when I covered the negotiations for the Great Bear Rainforest in 2006. To the Vancouver media it was just a big forest deal up in the middle of nowhere. Along with B.C. cabinet minister Pat Bell, Coastal First Nations and forest companies, the Sierra Club, ForestEthics and Greenpeace muscled their way to the table. How they did To so became clear in early 2007. Behind these big three ecopropaganda groups was a $60-million war chest from an obscure outfit called Tides Canada. Another front group, as it turns out. The actual source of the money was the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the David and Lucille Packard Foundation, the Wilberforce Foundation,

the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. Most made their billions in computers and software in San Francisco or Seattle. They’ve funded scientifically suspect campaigns such as “Yellowstone to Yukon” and “boreal forest” aimed at turning more than a third of Canada into parks. Increasingly, they are partnering with aboriginal people in B.C. and across Canada. Some in B.C.’s major media have since grudgingly credited independent B.C. researchm er Vivian Krause with filling in the blanks. She has shown that starting in 2002, these foundations began formally organizing against Canadian fossil fuel production. When the B.C. and Canadian governments matched the $60-million Great Bear Rainforest fund for “ecosystem-based” forest management, they didn’t realize they

were reinforcing a blockade against oil exports. Their argument against oil exports centres on the sexy but false premise that Alberta’s “tar sands” somehow uniquely threaten the global climate. Lately, as the size of B.C.’s gas development has become clearer, the protests have started to refocus. ForestEthics, Sierra Club and Greenpeace, meanwhile, are campaigning against their original forest preservation deal on B.C.’s Central and North Coast. Sustainable development solutions aren’t good for their business model. If people think a problem is solved, they stop sending money. Meanwhile, the U.S. is surging ahead with its own shale oil and gas boom. Plans are underway for LNG exports from the U.S. to Asia. I think 2013 would be a good year for Canada to start making its own decisions on energy development.

Year in Review 2012 FROM PAGE 5

Several people tried to bridge the chasm between new tax dollars and the environment, suggesting the development should be limited to the eastern portion of the site, and kept away from the Silverdale wetlands which it borders. The application was submitted under the comprehensive development zone to allow for two drive-thrus, which skirts around the district’s own bylaw prohibiting them. Two previous petitions have been forwarded to council opposing drive-thru restaurants, including a 794-signature petition last May.

May The third floor apartments at 33076 First Ave. were evacuated and closed by order of the B.C. fire commissioner May 23. According to Mission Fire Rescue Service’s Asst. Chief Larry Watkinson, “extreme fire hazard conditions” present in the building prompted the department to seek the order. Smoke alarms and bells were pulled off the walls and some of the fire breaks were breached, he said. Residents were given notice at 9 a.m. that they had to leave by noon, and Mission Community Services was on scene helping people find alternate accommodations. Food and transportation were also provided for any former residents, said Watkinson. Round the clock security has been arranged to keep any remaining possessions safe. The fire department conducted 15 inspections over three months, and no compliance with orders to correct safety concerns were heeded. Only 10 similar orders were enacted across B.C. last year, as the process for approval is stringent, explained Watkinson.

June In a bid to trim costs, an administrative restructuring happened at Mission Public Schools District (MPSD). According to a district memo, the following positions were eliminated, some effective the end of June and others by July: Deputy superintendent: Brenda Lightburn; Director of instruction (student learning): Graham Black; Vice-principal (student services): Cyndie Anderson; Vice-principal (River-

side College): Rick Fitch; Director of school operations: Stan Weir; Custodial manager: Bert Bastiaansen; Payroll supervisor: Marie Schultze; School business managers: Marie Powell and Mary Shurko. Lightburn has been seconded to the Ministry of Education for a year, but will not be returning to MPSD afterwards. Anderson and Fitch took other jobs in the district, while the remainder were laid off. The work was split to others throughout the district. According to trustee chair Edie Heinrichs, the changes are aimed at saving around $700,000. She said the board “inherited a deficit of more than $900,000 with only three years to pay this back and have a projected shortfall of $1.2 million for next year.” Heinrichs also noted that exempt staff levels have been rising in the past few years and that “if some of these cuts had been made in the previous years’ shortfalls, we would not have had to cut as deep.”

July California’s Mike Maggio shattered the world record for the fastest recorded speed with a door car in July in the final round of the West Coast Outlaw Pro Mods at Mission Raceway Park. Maggio blasted through the quartermile strip at 261.09 mph, with an elapsed time of 5.90 in his Outlaw Camaro. He won the Pro Mod part of the event in convincing fashion, and ran the quickest time in Western Canada in the process, 5.82 in the second qualifying run that weekend. Maggio was the fastest all weekend long and left with one of the most coveted milestones in drag racing.

August Mission’s Brent Hayden finally captured this past August the one swimming honour that had eluded him twice before. The amicable pool powerhouse whose likeness graces a Mission Leisure Centre wall, fought off years of disappointment and secured Olympic immortality as he swam to a bronze in the 100m freestyle.

We all have to realize that each of us has flaws and shortcomings, and we should accept others as they are, and in turn, hopefully, others will accept us as we are. However, this does not mean that we should not try to continually improve ourselves. We should always act and behave as God would want us to, and treat others as we would want to be treated. It is really a blessing from God to know oneself; however, it seems that we can usually find fault with others much easier than we can with ourselves. Seeing faults in others should induce us to correct our own weaknesses and help us strive to be more understanding and patient with those around us. Only God is perfect, but if we seek His will and try to be the best that we can be, we can each become better persons and more pleasing to our Heavenly Father. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? R.S.V.

The municipality celebrated its 120th anniversary in October with a day-long event at the Clarke Theatre.

ciples, which encourages conservation and delaying the addition of a new resource for as long as possible. The three scenarios are: • Status quo. The district would continue to educate and raise awareness on the situation and offer rebates for lowflow toilets and high efficiency washing machines. Mission would need a new water source around 2021. • Moderate. This is a voluntary water meter program which would result in about 18 per cent conservation, and would meet Mission’s needs until 2034. • High. A universal residential water meter program would be phased in over three years and conserve about 37 per cent. Mission would not need a new water source until around 2041. The study, presented by Mike Younie, revealed a single family residential home in Mission uses about 60 per cent more water than an equivalent Abbotsford home. Mission is using 466 litres of water per person per day, compared to Abbotsford’s 293 litres in 2011, said Younie, adding there are signs Abbotsford’s use has now declined to about 220. “Mission has no incentive to conserve with a flat rate,” explained Younie. Abbotsford has had universal water metering in place for decades and upgraded to a radio read system last year. Younie said there

isn’t a water crisis yet, and using WWM, there won’t be one for 10 to 20 years. He is recommending the district proceed with a universal water metering program. When the district explored the issue a few years ago, a cost estimate of $12 million was quoted, but Younie said that is a very rough ballpark figure today. In less than two years the district will have saved up about $6 million from Community Works Gas Tax Funds for this project, and look at internal borrowing before going to external sources, he said. There are also grants the district can apply for from senior governments. Mission will not have funds to contribute to a new water source for 20 years and the district needs to make that clear to Abbotsford, said Younie. The study also recommends examining new water sources, especially ones that would enhance the existing system, such as the one at Cannell Lake. The report is being presented to the Mission Abbotsford Water Sewer Commission, both councils, and the public. Mission council wants to consult with residents about a water metering system before deciding. The full report is available at mission.ca and will be presented at Mission council’s Community Dialogue session, Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. at the Leisure Centre.

October Mission’s mayor introduced legislation to scrap the Public Safety Inspection Team (PSIT) by year’s end. The district isn’t using the bylaw and it’s just sitting in the books, Mayor Ted Adlem explained. “There is no PSIT team now, nor will there ever be one under my watch,” he added. The PSIT bylaw has been contentious since its 2008 inception. The bylaw was created to address concerns regarding clandestine drug labs and marijuana grow operations, allowing the district to penalize property owners whose homes are found to be altered to produce illegal drugs, like marijuana and methamphetamine. The team visited homes based on data from BC Hydro indicating unusually high power consumption. Property owners whose homes were suspected of housing illegal substances were charged $4,900 for the inspection and a $300 administration fee. Additional remediation inspections were $250. The team was put on hold indefinitely in January 2011 and every file, except for ones initiated by police, is being reviewed. The review wasn’t completed by the end of the year, said Adlem, who noted it is being worked on weekly.

November About 130 people at-

tended the inaugural downtown planning session in November, which marked the first step towards creating a plan to reshape the First Avenue area. An open house started off the night, where the public was able to read the storyboards and speak to some of the consultants and planners from HB Lanarac, the company tasked with formulating the plan. A brief presentation by project manager Joaquin Karakas explained some of the challenges, opportunities and realities of the plan. “Downtowns are the heart of the community and a source of local pride,” he noted. There needs to be a mix of uses, including housing, institutional, educational, and parks, all while attracting a combination of seniors and young adults to inhabit the area, said Karakas. The downtown is the “living room of the community, and a well designed downtown is important to protect the private investment” in the area, he continued. On the challenges side, Karakas said the perception of crime is a problem for all downtowns. “If people don’t feel safe, they won’t come,” he said. Also, the highway running through is a challenge, coupled with a lack of activity outside of regular business hours. “The downtown needs to be safe throughout the SEE NEXT PAGE

day,” Karakas said. More life can be brought down with more housing and pubs, for example. The project lead said there are lots of opportunities for the area, but one of the key problems is the underappreciation of the economic importance of downtown, and the overemphasis on beautification. The downtown plan, which is currently in the first of three phases, will use the information from the open house to frame discussions around how Mission’s area should look. In the second phase, the vision, principles and concept plan for the downtown will be created through a series of public and stakeholder workshops, including the downtown design charrette Jan. 16-17. (See box for additional information.) Based on phases one and two, a comprehensive plan will be devel-

oped that will include policies, guidelines and implementation strategies. Additionally, a mass e-mail list (downtown@ mission.ca) has been compiled and receivers can suggest people to add, or forward the message, and the receiver can request to be included in future disseminations. This e-mail can also be used to send suggestions and feedback to consultants.

December Mission’s own worldfamous singer Carly Rae Jepsen was back home this month for a highenergy concert at the Clarke Theatre. Playing a selection of her hits, including This Kiss and Call Me Maybe, Jepsen performed for the hometown crowd of appreciative fans that nearly packed the venue. Speaking to The Record before the concert, Larry Jepsen, Carly Rae’s father, said she’s

“always been so grateful for the support from Mission.” The 27-year-old double Grammy nominee was thrilled to be able to put on a show for her local fans, he continued. Among Carly Rae’s list of positive influences in her musical career is Heritage Park Secondary School drama teacher Bev Holmes. “This is totally exciting and totally fun,” said Holmes before the music began, noting that Carly Rae has maintained a happy and humble attitude about her runaway success. “That’s still who she is.” The free concert was brought to Mission by retailer Target, which handed out tickets last Tuesday at the Leisure Centre. For video of the concert, and more photos, visit missioncityrecord. com and our Facebook page. • It was deju vu all over again, but reversed.

The Mission Secondary School junior varsity football team won the Subway Bowl at the beginning of December, making them the 2012 provincial champions. Above: Jesse Walker was named the most valuable player. The varsity team also earned the right to play in its provincial final, but fell to the South Delta Sun Devils.

Mission Secondary School’s junior varsity football squad beat the Abbotsford Panthers in the Subway Bowl in mid-December, handing them a 20-18 loss and earning the provincial championship title. Later in the day, the varsity team faced off against the South Delta Sun Devils and lost. Last year, it was the opposite, with varsity taking top spot, and the JVs earning second. This marked the fourth straight year the JVs have played in the finals, said coach John Kapty, who along with coaches Glen Roberts and Ray Jung have now earned three titles. “It feels great. Just as good as the first time.” It was tied 8-8 at the

half, but the turning point came after an unfortunate injury to Abbotsford’s quarterback. Mission quarterback Jesse Walker scored all three touchdowns and earned most valuable player honours. Bryce Fillion rushed for 101 “difficult” yards in the game. Kane Freestone-Smith was named best lineman for his efforts on both sides of the ball that included a tackle in the end zone for a two-point safety. Bicky Gill was the top receiver with five catches for 70 yards. Linebacker Peter Kulba led the defense with 13 tackles, and Dayton Robertson had nine tackles. Landon Rayburn had two interceptions defensively and Danny Jung had one.

“It’s so great to the see the kids get rewarded for their hard work. We ask a lot of our players on and off the field,” Kapty said. “This team continued to work hard and get better. That’s the formula for success in JV football.” Varsity The season-long drive for the second consecutive varsity provincial championship started to unravel quickly in the fourth quarter in December, according to head coach Kevin Watrin. “It was a hard-fought championship game, and the score was not indicative of the game,” he said about the 31-14 loss. The Roadrunners started slow, falling behind 11-0 in the first quarter,

but scored in the second, going into the half trailing 11-7. The senior team made a stab at a comeback and took the lead early in the third, 17-14, before a series of fourth quarter turnovers resulted in a “quick inflation of the score, said Watrin. This included South Delta blocking a punt, then the Roadrunners fumbling the kickoff which allowed the Sun Devils to put another touchdown on the score card. On season stalwart quarterback Kevin Wiens, Watrin opined that the graduating player deserved the player of the year honour. “We are proud of how our boys never gave up and always gave their all on every play,” said Watrin.

HARTL, Rudolf Edward After the recent loss of his beloved wife, Beatrice, with whom he shared 61 years of marriage, and a short struggle with Lung Cancer, Rudolf Edward Hartl, known as “Gus” Hartl, passed away peacefully at McKenney Creek Hospice Residence in Maple Ridge, on December 21st, 2012. Gus was born on a farm in Saskatchewan on October 10th, 1929. After a 25 year RCMP career, during which he also maintained a small grain farm in Saskatchewan, he retired at the age of 46, to a 10 acre hobby farm in Aldergrove. Utilizing his RCMP experience, Gus then worked with the Probation Services and helped establish a community work program in the Fraser Valley for young offenders, to perform community services, rather than being incarcerated or on probation. Following that project, Gus initiated and completed residential real estate developments in Aldergrove, Abbotsford and Mission. He spent the winter months each year at his Arizona home for the past 25 years, and made many friends there from across Canada and the USA. Gus was the most sociable person you’d ever meet, and relationships with family and friends were always the most important priorities in his life. He is lovingly remembered by sons Philip (Linda), Doug (Poona), Bob (Pat), Dennis, and Gus (Brenda); grandchildren Trevor Hartl (Amanda), Jennifer Bajic (Ante), Douglas Hartl (Christina), Navada Taylor (Stephen), Janelle Hartl (Andrew), Jared Hartl, Serena Hartl (James), Whitney Pollock (Justin), Jessica German (Brad), and Meagan Hartl; great grandchildren Luka, Spencer, Ben, Cate, Taylin, Olivia, Hudson, and Quinn; sisters Elsie Smith, Edna Hornett (Jim), Bertha Kenny (Al); as well as many loving nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. He is predeceased by his parents Philip and Maria, his loving wife Beatrice, his son David, and his brother Albert. A Funeral Mass will be held at Sts. Joachim and Ann Catholic Church at 2827 - 273rd Street, Aldergrove, BC, at 2:00 PM on Friday, January 4th, 2012. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in his memory to the BC Cancer Foundation or the charity of your choice. For more info, or to leave online condolences, please visit: www.hendersonslangleyfunerals.com

Herbert Herbert Carl Otto aged 81 years passed away peacefully on December 22, 2012. He is lovingly remembered by his daughter Jeanette (Alan); son Mike (Margaret); grandchild Hanna and uncle Gunter Otto as well as many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. He is predeceased by his wife Trudy in 2011. A Celebration of life will be held at Woodlawn Mission Funeral Home 7386 Horne Street Mission on January 12th 2013 at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Boy Scouts of Canada. Memories and condolences may be shared with the family at www.woodlawnfh-mission.com.
