For daughter, it was an honour that left her humbled, and for mom it was nothing less than a bucket list item to be crossed off. Margaret Krieck and her daughter Kristina both get to carry the Olympic torch Kristina ran the torch on Nov. 1, the third day of the torch run,

in Tofino. She had been asked by Speed Skating Canada to carry the torch as their representative. “It was indescribable – amazing,” she said. “It felt really special.” Margaret was there to watch her daughter. “It was a proud moment,” she said.. Adding to the honour was the fact that Speed Skating Canada

purchased the torch for her – the souvenir of a lifetime. Margaret will run the torch down First Avenue in Mission at the local ceremony on Feb. 8. “I applied for it online,” said Margaret, who was amazed when she was accepted. “It was a huge honour for me. It’s one of those bucket list things.” The torch will be on the final

a weapon and common assault. More analysis needs to be done to determine the underlying cause for the recent upward trend, said Mission RCMP Insp. Pat Walsh. “While preliminary analysis shows some upward trend in domestic/ family violence, there is still further analysis required to determine if this in fact represents a rise in absolute numbers or is the result of other factors.” This will be an area police will be focussing on in the coming year. Last year police identified an increase break and enters and focussed on addressing the issue in 2009. “We put a number of operational measures in place, and took full advantage of our new crime analyst to focus our attentions to those areas and ties of high crime as well as on those persons suspected of committing the bulk of the offences,” explained the inspector. The strategy worked, and is reflected in the statistics. This year, Mounties will focus on reducing the number of assaults taking place in the community. “We will continue to work with you (the public) to jointly set priorities, to continue to forge community partnerships and remain focussed on our overall goal of further reducing crime in the community in order to have safe homes and safe streets,” Walsh said.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 2010

‘I’m really excited... it’s almost here’ From TORCH Page 1 bearers. Margaret has been a committed volunteer in the sport of speed skating for many years, and Kristina was a chip off the old block, even as a wee girl. “I can remember carrying skate guards back and forth at the meets in Abby,” said Kristina. She went on to become a racer, and then an official and a volunteer with Speed Skating Canada. This year she officiated at the Olympic trials in long track, and the 20-year-old works to promote clubs and membership in the sport in general. Margaret says she first got involved with the Mission Blades’ executive. “You ran the club,” Kristina says, correcting her mom’s modest response. She is the chair of the Club and Development Committee for B.C. Speed Skating, and is a member of the same committee for Speed Skating Canada. “We’re trying to grow the sport, and start new clubs,” is how she summarizes the work that she and her daughter do. They got on the Olympic bandwagon from the start, and were part of the Rally on Robson to support Vancouver’s Olympic bid. They are both Games volunteers. Margaret has a security role, checking accreditation around the long track venues. Kristina is a long track supervisor for track stewards – small disks that outline the course. The torch run is a kickoff to a Games that mother and daughter have been eagerly anticipating. “I can’t wait,” said Margaret. “I’m really excited. We’ve been working on this so long, and it’s almost here.”

Torch run has mythic origins

Kristina Kreick passes the flame during her leg of the Olympic Torch Relay in Tofino.

Runners get an early start in Mission Mission’s torch run will happen in the early morning hours of Feb. 8, with festivities beginning with a 5 a.m. pancake breakfast, and those wanting to watch the torch advised to be on First Avenue no later than 5:45 a.m. Wendy McCormick, the deputy director of parks, recreation and culture is overseeing the celebration, and said the community has warmed to it. The initial reaction to the early

event was what you would expect to a 4:30 a.m. clock radio buzzing. “Good luck with that, you won’t see me there,” was the common reaction, McCormick admitted. But she sees people warming to the idea. “People have been very positive about the event,” she said, noting that the early hour allows children to get off to school on time, and commuters to watch the passing of the flame, and

then hit the road for work. What’s more, she said the torch run is far more esthetically pleasing in the dark – as it will be at 6 a.m. “We’ll make the best of it,” said McCormick. “The fact they’re going to be here is great. They don’t come to every town.” Those attending are asked to dress in red jackets, hats, mittens and scarves, and even paint their faces red.

Monday, Feb. 8 First Avenue, Mission 5:00 a.m. Free breakfast and street performers 5:15 a.m. Let’s Get Fired up! 5:30 a.m. First Nations welcome 5:45 a.m. Carly Rae Jepsen peforms 6:00 a.m. Mayor James Atebe and guests welcome the torch’s arrival.

The Olympic flame is a symbol of the Olympic Games. Commemorating the theft of fire from the Greek god Zeus by Prometheus who gave it to man, its origins lie in ancient Greece, where a fire was kept burning throughout the celebration of the ancient Olympics. Several months before the games, the torch is lit in Olympia, using the light of the sun, concentrated in a parabolic mirror. There was no historical torch relay, but there was a similar precedent. Greek Heralds wearing olive crowns would be dispatched to neighbouring cities to announce the date of competitions. They invited citizens to come to Olympia, and proclaimed a sacred truce - an obligation to halt battle for one month before and during the period of the Games. Previously warring athletes and spectators could travel to Olympia and home without fear. The torch relay of modern times was introduced at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The fire is kept burning throughout the games, and is extinguished at the closing ceremony.

Silverdale school hosts a Mission Olympian BY

den Donatelli returned to her old stomping grounds on Friday – if Grade 4 girls do any real stomping. On the eve of the 2010 Games, the Olympian was at her old alma mater Silverdale Elementary, to talk to kids about goal setting. She was in the fourth grade there when the winter Olympics were held in Lake Place, NY, and her teacher did a unit on the Games. “I learned all about the Olympics, and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world,” she told the Silverdale kids at an assembly. That same year she met Canada’s first big speed skating star, Gaetan Boucher, a four-time Olympic medallist and double gold medal winner from the 1984 Sarajevo Games. For the little speed skater who was turned on to the Olympics, she said “that was also very inspiring.” She chose as a nine-year-old to compete in an Olympics.

Eden Donatelli visits her daughter Annabelle’s (in helmet) classroom.

“So I spent the next eight years, from 1980 to 1988, aspiring to achieve that goal,” she said.

She put up a slide of her with a white cowboy hat atop her curly hair, a 17-year-old Eden in the team

Canada Uniform, in the 1988 Calgary Olympics. “I was a Canadian competing in an Olympics in Canada, which was really special.” She put up a slide of the crowd at McMahon Stadium, with the Olympic rings formed by the colours the crowd was wearing. She explained that there were coloured ponchos on all the seats at the stadium, and the crowd members all slipped them on to create the effect. “I wonder what they’ll do for 2010,” she pondered aloud. She remembered the crowd of 60,000 giving a massive cheer for the Canadian team as it entered the stadium. “I felt really small and really big all at the same time,” she said. She showed a slide of herself getting a silver medal, after her world class performance in the 500m sprint. “That was one of the best moments of my life.” She also won a bronze with the Canadian 3000m relay team.

“Whether you believe you can do something, or whether you believe you can’t do something, you are right,” she said. She was a member of the Canadian national team from 1986 to 1992, and has numerous medals from world championship events. Along the way she set numerous Canadian and North American records. She was inducted into the BC sports Hall of Fame. “I was lucky, because I found a sport I loved to do, and it was something I was good at,” she said. She returned o the Olympics as a relay alternate in 1992, and although she did not get to skate in Albertville, France, she enjoyed taking part in another Games. “It’s a wonderful experience.” She has never strayed far from her roots, and Donatelli’s children now attend Silverdale Elementary, and she is a teacher at John Maclure in Abbotsford. She is a speed skating coach with the Maple Ridge team, and has volunteered as an Olympic ambassador for the coming Games.

The power of Air One BY MARIO BARTEL Black Press

t was a dark and stormy night when Sean Hackman saved a life. The four-year veteran of the New Westminster Police Service was just a few months into his new gig with the RCMP’s Air One helicopter patrol when the radio at the unit’s base on the southern perimeter of Vancouver International Airport burst to life. The chagger was about a desperate search for an elderly woman with Alzheimers who had wandered away from her home in deepest, darkest northwest Mission. Clad in little more than a T-shirt and pants, with the wind and rain howling and temperatures plummeting, there was no time to lose.

But with a ceiling of only 800 feet, Air One was grounded for the night. A dog unit was called in for the search, but the weather made it impossible to pick up a scent. Officers searching by foot and in patrol cars could barely see a few feet in front of them in the inky blackness. Warm and dry at his desk, Hackman twitched in frustration. After all, it’s this kind of chance to be able to make a difference in people’s lives that lured him to police work in the first place. It’s this kind of opportunity to assist his fellow officers from a unique aerial perspective that pushed him to apply last February to join the team of three veteran officers and five civilian pilots

who patrol the skies of southwestern B.C. from Pemberton to Hope.

Making the cut To become the first municipal officer to make the cut, Hackman beat 69 other applicants who were whittled down through a series of briefings; a three-hour test of their ability to memorize and identify landmarks and locations in 10 aerial photographs; another test to identify municipal borders and name every bridge in the Lower Mainland; a test of their ability to give directions; and, finally, a one-hour flight test designed by senior officers to challenge their spatial awareness, decision-making under pressure, sense of direction, and communication skills with the pilot with whom they’d be sharing presented by

an intense, close-working environment. He also had to be no taller than 6’2” and no heavier than 220 pounds to be able to work in the small chopper, not a problem for the compact 26 year old. “It was pretty intimidating,” says Hackman of the flight test. “But when I left after my one-hour flight, it was the most exhilarating, mentally-draining hour of my life.” It also sealed the deal for the direction he wanted his career to take. Two weeks later he got the call; he’d made the top four. He reported for further training. He was briefed on the unit’s daily grind of filing reports and maintaining databases. He met the pilots on familiarization flights. He learned about the specialized equipment used on Air One, like the gyrostabilized binoculars and night vision goggles and the moving maps displayed on a screen just above his knees, giving him the helicopter’s position relative to streets and landmarks. He got his hands on the bulky joystick that controls the FLIR thermal imaging system that allows him to spot people and objects by the heat they throw off. He also got to play with the 30-millioncandlepower spotlight mounted on the left side of the $2.2 million Eurocopter EC 120B Colibri, bright enough to pierce through even the thickest gloom. In June he underwent four days of daytime flight training, leading up to his first solo flight with only his pilot as his wingman. “I guess my biggest fear that last day was whether the end of the world was going to happen that day,”

said Hackman.

Chaos on the radio It didn’t. Instead, he got a taste of a pretty typical day for Air One, providing support for the Surrey auto team as they followed a stolen vehicle, and taking aerial photos for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team of an area in Hope where a body was found. Almost four years into its mandate, Air One and the seven police agencies that share its expenses are still learning its potential to assist law enforcement. While it’s most commonly called in to help track stolen vehicles or fleeing suspects, it’s also been used for search and rescue missions, border integrity, and providing intelligence for high-risk police procedures like raids on grow ops or serving firearms warrants. “Public safety is one of the reasons this whole unit was formulated,” said Hackman. “It’s definitely an integral part of police resources.” So much so that many police departments have changed the way they deal with things like pursuits; with Air One on the scene they’re more inclined to break them off as soon as there’s any kind of risk to the public or the officers on the ground. “It can be chaos on the radio, and as soon as we show up everything calms down,” said Hackman. “A lot of the time they’ll look to us to guide them.” Knowing how each police department in Air One’s patrol area deals with various situations, and how they communicate, has been a huge learning curve for Hackman. For instance,

when following a stolen vehicle, he has to know which agencies prefer the helicopter hang back for more covert surveillance and which agencies like the helicopter to be obvious to the fleeing suspect in an effort to intimidate him into giving up. Some departments use a “box and pin” method of surrounding a fleeing vehicle and pinning it to a stop. Others prefer laying a spike belt. He also has to be able to pick out the codes distinct to the various departments through the constant chatter of seven police radios in his earphones. Through it all, he also has to keep an eye out for other air traffic and give directions to his pilot. “We’re a team, we’re partners,” said Roger Thomson, a pilot for Air One for the past three years. “He’s the policeman, he’s in charge of triaging the calls. My job is to keep the aircraft safe and both of us safe.”

Power of Air One

It’s that kind of confidence in his pilot that motivated Hackman into action that November night as officers searched desperately for the wandering elderly woman. “We were listening to the radio and finally I said, ‘we’ve got to go out there,’” recalled Hackman. Flying low and fast, getting bounced around by the wind, Air One joined the search in minutes. Hackman powered up the FLIR camera, calibrated it and started sweeping a 400 or 500 square meter area near the woman’s house. Within moments he picked up the ghostly image of a figure in some bushes, looking like it was about to step onto a nearby road. A patrol officer a few hundred meters down the road couldn’t see anything. Hackman directed him straight towards the figure. An hour after she was first reported missing, the woman was found cold and wet, but alive.

Sean Hackman is the first municipal officer to be seconded to RCMP Air One, the Lower Mainland traffic safety helicopter.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 2010

Police investigate stabbings A 35-year-old Mission man is still in critical condition in hospital after being stabbed outside the Big B Saloon early Saturday morning around closing time. A second man, age 32 and from Mission, was also injured, but did not require hospitalization. According to Mission RCMP, there was a large crowd gathered outside the bar, located in at 32998 First Ave., when the men were stabbed. The victims know each other, and police are still trying to determine who else was involved and what precipitated the event.

Police have spoken to both men, and according to Const. Amanda Fallis, they are both cooperating. RCMP are still investigating the incident and are asking anyone who witnessed the stabbings, or has information about it, to call them at 604-826-7161. If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Crime Stoppers can be reached 24/7 and you don’t have to give your name, address or phone number.A cash reward of up to $2,000 will be given to anyone who provides information leading to an arrest and charge.

Pickup crash claims two lives Two people are dead after a vehicle crashed into a tree near Lougheed Highway and Ross Road in Deroche last Thursday evening around 9:30 p.m. The victims are a 41-year-old male and a 42-year-old female, both Mission residents, but their identities have not been released by RCMP.

Maple Ridge-Mission MP Randy Kamp says whether he’s in Ottawa or his home riding, he will continue to work during the extended break in parliament.

MPs working through break in parliament Government working on economic plan BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Proroguing parliament will give the government a chance to prepare the throne speech, work on the country’s economic action plan and address the deficit, said Randy Kamp, MP for Maple Ridge and Mission. MPs were suppose to be back in Ottawa Jan. 25 after the winter break, but instead the start has been delayed until after the Winter Olympics. Postponing the start of the parliament session is nothing new, Kamp noted, and it has been done before by many governments, including when Jean Chretien was prime minister. “It’s normal to have a new session every year or year and a half ... it’s part of the normal process.” Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been under intense criticism since he made the announcement near the end of 2009, political opponents saying he is abusing his power to serve his own political

interest. Kamp didn’t offer any opinions on whether or not he supported the delay. “It’s not my decision to make. It’s a decision the Prime Minister makes, and I will continue to work for my constituents whether I’m here or in session.” The government isn’t trying to avoid accountability, the local MP added. Opposition parties can continue to do their work and look into issues during the break. For example, in the Afghan detainee situation, the military commission will continue to work on it, but there won’t be a question period for (opposition) MPs to make accusations, Kamp continued. Government legislation dies in the process, but private member bills can continue, said Kamp. However, government can try to bring legislation back to the table where it left off, if other parties agree. There are two pieces he says the Conservatives want to

restart, bills C-15 and C-6. C-15 is mostly about mandatory prison sentences for drug trafficking and drug production, and C-6 is a consumer safety item which allows government to respond to unsafe products and get them out of stores quickly. The Senate has made changes to both bills, and the government would like to get the debate going again and bring it back closer to its original format, said Kamp, who doesn’t think the delay in starting up parliament again is “a huge lost.” When parliament resumes, the government is expected to deliver a throne speech on March 3 and introduce the budget on March 4. In the meantime, Kamp says he will continue to work as the parliamentary secretary, which will take him to Ottawa for a week or two during the break, and he is working on setting up more passport clinics in the riding.

According to police, the 2008 Ford Ranger had been travelling westbound when it partially left the road and slipped onto the gravel shoulder. The driver tried to get back on the road, but swerved too far and ended up crossing the roadway and going into a ditch, where the truck hit a large tree.

It appears the road and weather conditions were not contributing factors in the crash, which is still under investigation. Anyone who witness this collision, or saw the vehicle on the road prior to the crash, is asked to contact Const. Jim Halliday of the Fraser Valley Traffic Services at 604-702-4039.

OPINION

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

Olympic inspiration

he iconic glow of the Olympic flame symbolizes many things, to many different people. Where it may represent the achievement of a goal to an athlete competing in her first Olympic event, to a young child it could be a symbol of future dreams, and the possibilities that await him. It can be a symbol of health, competition, peace, history, commitment, national pride and potential success. But overall, it’s one globally-known, inspirational icon that seems to unify people the world over, and those who carry the torch are carrying with them hundreds of years of history. Like so many communities throughout Canada, we are fortunate to be able to reach out and almost touch the flame when it comes through Mission on Feb. 8. As Vancouver, Richmond and Whistler prepare for the biggest party this neck of the province will ever see, organizers here are prepping for the big lead-up to the Olympics. The Torch Relay is almost as exciting as the Games themselves, and in reality it’s the closest many of us will get to the Olympics, even when they’re being held oh-so-close to home. This is Canada’s third time hosting the Olympics, preceded by the 1976 Summer Games in Montreal, and the 1988 Winter Games in Calgary. And chances are, the Olympics will be back. But next time, the children of the community won’t be children anymore. They won’t see the flame through all the magic of youth. Every Canadian child, if not treated to a visit to the Olympic Games themselves, should have a chance to guide the Olympic flame as it travels to Vancouver. Mark the date on your calender, feel the inspiration, and pass it along to our local youth.

Forest industry bets on China

ust as the city media report only the deaths in Afghanistan, they report only the mill closings in the forest industry. There’s a journalistic conceit behind this: any trace of “good” news tends to be dismissed by senior editors as government, or worse, industry propaganda. But when it comes to B.C.’s weary woods, the main reason is that urban people just don’t care any more. That was evident as I listened to Vancouver’s most popular radio talk show on Friday. A single caller touched on the troubles of B.C.’s historically dominant industry, but the discussion soon switched back to the urgent matter of the tax on To Metro parking spots. You might have heard that another sawmill is shutting down in Quesnel this week, laying off 180 workers. You probably didn’t hear that two sawmills have restarted in Mackenzie, or that another in Chetwynd is to restart this spring after 18 months down, now that specialty markets have been found and mill workers have agreed to cut their pay by $5.49 an hour. Since Forests Minister Pat Bell returned from his latest trade mission to China and Japan in November, I’ve spo-

ken with him, with the NDP’s new forestry critic, and also surveyed the major B.C. industry CEOs who went on the trip. Here’s some of what I’ve found. There is, in fact, a sharp increase in demand for wood in China, with the prospect of much more to come. Bell’s goal of selling a third of B.C.’s wood to Asia appears within reach. Whether it’s logs from private land (mostly here on Vancouver Island and regulated federally) or kiln-dried lumber from the Interior, sales to China in particular are where the main hope for recovery rests. The larger question for B.C. is to what extent logs from Crown land will be exported, as the Chinese weigh our cost versus that of Russian logs. m These days there are two forest industries in B.C. There’s an old, inefficient one on the Coast and an Interior industry that’s a world leader in efficiency. The Truck Loggers’ Association represents the coastal harvesters, who are now saying bluntly to the B.C. government that their sawmills can’t compete with those in the Interior. They want the province’s rules for selling Crown logs relaxed to at least get some loggers back in the bush. B.C. has authorized some log exports from the North Coast, where there is

The notion of expanding those exports southward is likely to be hot topic when the truck loggers hold their annual convention in Victoria next week. One thing is certain about China. It will use its huge supply of cheap labour wherever it can. Forget shipping pre-fab roof trusses over there, for example. To re-roof an apartment building in Shanghai, construction workers hoist B.C. lumber up six floors by hand and build trusses in place with hammers and Swede saws. The B.C. and federal governments have been spending heavily on demonstration projects and construction schools since 2002, trying to persuade the Chinese to build entirely with wood instead of concrete or steel. NDP forests critic Norm McDonald says Bell is overselling the gains made in China, which are mostly low-grade wood sold at a loss, or building projects subsidized by Canadian taxpayers. Bell points to private investment in a Chinese resort community, with woodframe luxury homes that look identical to new construction in the Okanagan Valley. That’s the future. Right now, the question is log sales. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Fraser Health bureaucrats aren’t saving lives

Take care of your own trash Editor, The Record: To the person who dumped their big screen TV box and styrofoam in the shrubbery at the Albert McMahon School a few feet from an unlocked dumpster: Time needed to throw box and contents in dumpster: 10 seconds. Time needed to collapse box and recycle curbside: Two minutes. Time needed put styrofoam in the garbage: One minute. Time needed to take styrofoam to London Drugs for recycling: 20 minutes. That’s all the time you needed to dispose of your garbage properly. Instead you chose to dump it in a public area so that ‘someone else’ could take care of it. Well, that someone else was me. I recycled the box at my curbside and took the styrofoam to London Drugs. Hey that’s OK! Because I have something that don’t have – a sense of responsibility to my community and my planet. And that’s priceless.

Hospital services ‘not good enough Gordy’ Editor, The Record: Many of us are happy to know we have not (yet?) lost our ER services at Mission Memorial Hospital. This is a minor victory for citizens of Mission. However, we must remain vigilant in defending the integrity of our health care system.

The fact is, we have seen a reduction of options with the OR services. This is a step in the wrong direction. This is not good enough, Gordy. When I spent three years teaching English the Far East and Middle East, I came to appreciate how precious our democracy is. We do have a voice.

Seize green energy opportunities Editor, The Record: Re: Green energy group ‘leaves out consumers’ By Tom Fletcher Although Maureen Bader from the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation is undoubtedly well-intentioned in her criticism of the province’s Green Energy Task Force, she is nevertheless poorly informed and woefully misguided on the subject. When it comes to generating, conserving and consuming electricity, “low cost” does not mean least financial cost. Any savvy consumer or business person can tell you there is far more to the concept of “cost” than simply seeking out the cheapest price. The one-dimensional thinking exhibited by Ms. Bader with respect to green energy may make for great media sound bites, but it doesn’t make good business sense nor does

it make for good public policy. Just imagine for a moment the increased healthcare costs from respiratory problems that B.C. taxpayers would have to shoulder if we suddenly decided to start burning coal to produce our electricity. Burning coal is certainly a cheap way to generate “low cost” electricity; that is, until you factor in the hidden health care and environmental costs. And what about the cost to B.C. taxpayers if we fail to seize the opportunities to develop our province’s immense untapped green energy potential? How would it benefit B.C. taxpayers if our economy fell silent because we did not have enough cost-effective, non-polluting electricity to run our homes and businesses? Surely Ms. Bader is aware that B.C. has not added any significant new electricity

MISSION

generating infrastructure since the 1980s, and the generating infrastructure we do have is now stretched to the limit? So, where does Ms. Bader suggest we acquire the electricity needed to power a strong B.C. economy if we don’t start taking steps to develop the new sources of renewable electricity we have? We all have an interest in keeping the taxpayer burden low and affordable. But we have to make sure that we do so intelligently and thoughtfully and without wearing the blinders that Maureen Bader and the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation appear to have donned with respect to green energy. Bruce Sanderson, Co-spokesperson B.C. Citizens for Green Energy

Editor, The Record: I find Mayor Atebe’s satisfaction with the consultative process disquieting, to say the least. I do not recall any public discussion of closing the Operating Room at Mission Memorial Hospital. Perhaps he and council were consulted, but the rest of Mission’s citizenry were not? If there was discussion of this option, where and when did it happen? That Mission Memorial Hospital has been under attack for years is obvious to anyone who is paying any attention at all. Ever since the FHA was created by the NDP in the dying days of their rule, they have been slashing away at it. Perhaps this is to help pay the thousands of bureaucrats that have been hired by the FHA? Bureaucrats do not save lives. Properly equipped hospitals, properly staffed, do save lives. Especially if we have adequate ambulance services too. In the event of a natural disaster, Mission residents are going to die because of the systematic gutting of our hospital by FHA, since getting to other hospitals will likely be impossible. Remember that the Provincial Emergency Program has been reminding everyone that we are due for a major earthquake and an eruption of Mt. Baker for quite some time now. How does gutting our hospital help Mission to prepare for this? I understand Randy Hawes owes his life to Mission Memorial Hospital, as do many others. Perhaps he forgot that? If he didn’t, he certainly has not made much of an effort to save our hospital over the last decade, at least not much given that he has been our MLA for much of that time and should, at least in my opinion, have been able to make more of a difference.

Community invited to help make a difference BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

The Me 2 We club at Heritage Park Secondary School is organizing a community fundraiser to help the world. The event takes place on Tuesday, Jan. 19 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the school. Details are still being finalized, but those attending should bring canned goods, an open mind, and some spending money. Drama students at the school will be performing, and there will be some creative writing as well as an auction. Some of the items up for sale are a handmade and embroidered bag, and eight handmade handbags from Thailand. The money raised

from auction will go back to the women who made them. “They were given to us by Project Kah Feh, which sends the money back to Thailand,” explained Dan Crich, event planner for the club. The Me 2 We club at Heritage Park was formed shortly after Me 2 We Day, which took place at GM Place last September. “Our school was inspired after some students attended the Me 2 We day in Vancouver,” explained Crich, “and since that, we have started our own club and have started numerous fundraiser to raise money for different causes.” The club has held fundraisers at the school,

and next week’s event is the first time the community get a chance to get involved. One of the ongoing fundraisers at the school is called Change to Change, where a club member stands at the end of the line in the cafeteria collecting any leftover change a student may have after paying for lunch. “Although it may seem small, we have raised a significant amount doing that,” said Crich. The club supports organizations like World Vision and Free the Children, which sends people to Africa to build houses and schools, etc. Free the Children also sends out challenges to clubs, such as the Halloween for Hunger, which raised non-perishable food donations for the local food bank. “Our school collect-

ed over 700 cans from going out on Halloween to trick or treat for canned food,” Crich added. The school also participated in the Vow of Silence, which raised awareness about children and adults in Africa who don’t get a say about anything. Locally, the group helped host a Community Christmas Dinner, offering a delicious holiday meal to the less fortunate in Mission. “It was quite an event and it was very touching to hear life stories from people that came for a meal,” said Crich. All these causes the club supports indirectly supports students at the school, according to Crich. For more information about the event next week, call Heritage Park Secondary School at 604-820-4587.

Staff and students at Hatzic who had their heads shaved present Jimmy Logan from the Canadian Cancer Society with a donation.

Hatzic students raise funds for four groups Before school closed for the winter break the entrepreneurship class was given an exciting assignment to see which one of their four groups could fundraise the most within one week for a specific cause of their choice. Yet the competition was rapidly forgotten as the groups chose their charities and became dedicated to simply raising as much money as possible for their cause. The four fundraising groups chose to raise money for: the Cancer Society, Free the Children, and Hatzic’s own Grad Fund. For an entire week these groups worked tirelessly on promoting

their cause and what they’d be selling. The cancer fundraising group even employed several students and staff who agreed to shave their heads when the group reached a certain dollar amount. At one point the cancer fundraisers raised ninety dollars in pennies! That’s a whole lot of change. When the tallies came in the groups raised $60 for the Grad Fund through hot chocolate and cookies sales, $90 for the Grad Fund through pizza and pop sales, $276.65 for the Free the Children Charity and $1,272 for the Cancer Society. — Submitted by Jane Westendorf

Assessments don’t reflect the market Real estate board prez sees healthy residential sales activity in Mission BY

NEIL CORBETT

Mission Record

Don’t worry about declining property values in Mission, says the president of the Fraser Valley Real Estate board. Property tax assessments arrived in Mission mailboxes last week, and in general people noticed a big drop in the value of their real estate investments. For one thing, assessments were done according to property values in June, so they are already months out of date, says Penner, who is also an Abbotsford realtor. “There’s a long time between the time when the assessments have been done and when it is released,” he said. “The number is no longer current.” He called June a low point for the Mission residential market, and the assessments reflect those struggles.

However, he said the prices are on their way up. “The market is quite healthy, and from a taxpayer’s perspective, they can expect higher assessments next year,” he said. “The activity has been at a very steady level since July.” The stats bear out what Penner asserts. December 2008 was rough month iin Mission real estate – 226 houses sold for an aveerage price of $359,000. However last month, in December 09, 47 houses D ssold for an average price oof $394,000. That’s a 10 pper cent price increase PENNER from December 2008. That trend was evident across the Fraser Valley. In 2008 there were 508 residential property sales registered in the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. Last month there were 1,260, for one of the best Decembers on record. “We’re not seeing a spike, and we’re not seeing a bubble developing,” said Penner. “The trend is certainly positive.”

Teachers in hundreds of B.C. schools will get extra paid days off to compensate them for classes that are too large, or have too many unsupported special needs students to meet provincial legislation. The latest arbitrator’s ruling on a sample of the thousands of union grievances resulted in teachers getting between one and nine days off because schools didn’t follow the rules for determining how many students, or special needs students. Arbitrator James Dorsey developed a four-part formula to apply to the stack of grievances that remain, providing for up to 15 paid days off in compensation. The decision has opened the flood gates to thousands more claims from every school district in B.C. After the B.C. government legislated class size and composition limits in 2006, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation filed 546 grievances on classes enrolled for the 2006-07 school year. The total grew to 1,122 grievances the following year, and the BCTF and B.C. Public School Employers’ Association agreed to examine 21 of those outstanding complaints in arbitration hearings. The number of grievances swelled to 4,600 during the 2008-09 school year, and now that the sample group has been upheld, the BCTF expects there could be as many as 10,000 grievances filed for the current school year. Boards of education will have to hire substitute teachers to cover for the paid days off, and now the issue is who will pay the escalating costs of the settlement. BCTF vice-president Susan Lambert

6.49 Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid

said the arbitrated cases show school districts can’t afford enough teachers and special needs assistants to meet Victoria’s class size and composition limits. If districts aren’t adequately funded, Dorsey noted in his decision that the government is obliged to increase their funding or increase the class size and composition limits. “Teachers are not looking for extra time off,” Lambert said. “What teachers want is a government that lives up to its own legislation and follows its own rules.” Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid said the B.C. government’s job is to set the standards and the school district superintendents’ duty is to follow them. In a written statement, MacDiarmid noted that some of the arbitration awards were for technical “human errors” such as not consulting with all affected teachers. “We stand by our legislation, which has been an enormous success across the province,” MacDiarmid said. “For the fourth consecutive year, 99 per cent of all classes have 32 or fewer students and 95 per cent of all classes have 30 or fewer students.”

licensed practical nurses, LPN supervisors and dental assistants whose duties have been expanded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a year of very tough bargaining, your committee was able to find under-utilized benefits and rework them into a range of improvements that are now accessible to a broad cross-section of the membership,â&#x20AC;? said Darryl Walker, president of the B.C. Government and Service Employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Union, which represents about two thirds of the community care workers. The B.C. government announced the â&#x20AC;&#x153;net zeroâ&#x20AC;? mandate last fall as it came to grips with a growing deficit and tumbling government revenues from taxes and resources. It means wage or benefit improvements have to be offset by efficiencies elsewhere in the contract. In a year-end interview with Black Press, Premier Gordon Campbell said he hoped the thousands of provincial employees would understand the impact of a global recession on B.C. and avoid the broad-based strikes and protests that have often characterized public sector bargaining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now we have a $2.8 billion deficit,â&#x20AC;? Campbell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get that down.â&#x20AC;? Benefit improvements for community care workers include the extension of medical and dental benefits for up to an eight-week leave of absence to care for a seriously ill family member.

New engagement groups for Concurrent Disorder Program The Concurrent Disorder Program in the Fraser East region is now offering a series of ongoing engagement groups on the topic of concurrent disorders. When an individual experiences both substance use issues and mental illness, they are said to have a concurrent (or cooccurring) disorder. The purpose of these groups is to create a safe environment in which people curious about the topic can ask questions. The psycho-educational groups are open to all – those who are undecided about changing their use of substances,

those choosing harm reduction and those who are seeking abstinence. Attendees do not have be a client of any health team and do not need a referral to attend. The only requirement is that people do not attend the sessions while under the influence. Mandatory attendance is not required so individuals can attend as much or as little as they want. The groups will be offered in both Mission and Abbotsford. Please note meetings at these locations are cancelled on statutory holidays. Mission: Weekly meetings will be held

at Haven in the Hollow, 32646 Logan Ave. The meetings will be held every Wednesday from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. starting January 13, 2010. Abbotsford: Weekly meetings will be held at Abbotsford Community Services, 2420 Montrose Avenue. The meetings will be held every Friday from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. starting February 5, 2010. If you have any further questions, please contact Ron Prasad, coordinator Concurrent Services, Fraser Health (east), at 604-814-5600 or at Ron.Prasad@fraserhealth.ca.

More road closures in Olympic plan Public transit system readies for 30 per cent more riders BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Forget about parking or driving anywhere near the venues during the 2010 Winter Olympics next month. And don’t try to take your vehicle downtown. That’s the advice from organizers who today unveiled the final version of the Olympic transportation plan, which closes more roads on select high-volume days. The Cambie Street Bridge and two blocks of Beatty Street downtown will close from noon to midnight on Feb. 10, 12 and 28 and on the Paralympic opening ceremony night of Mar. 12. That will open pedestrian space for the estimated 100,000 spectators, visitors, media and performers expected to flood the downtown core those nights. Feb. 10 will be a dress rehearsal and transportation dry run for the Olympic opening ceremonies two days later. “We need every resident, commuter and employer in the

Games region to pull together and adjust their transportation routines to make these Games a success,” said Terry Wright, Vanoc’s executive vice-president of services and Games operations. The temporary road closures on some of the busiest days of the Olympics are needed to ensure a positive experience for all, he said. They come in addition to other previously announced road closures and parking restrictions in the City of Vancouver. Olympic-only lanes for athletes, officials, media and buses, will also be designated in the curb lanes of some major corridors in Vancouver – including parts of Hastings, Cambie, Broadway and Georgia – and on approaches to the Lions Gate and Iron Workers Memorial bridges, as well as the Sea-to-Sky Highway. A number of downtown Vancouver streets will close at noon each day starting Feb. 12 to become pedestrian corridors. Also planned are rolling road

closures as the Olympic torch relay crisscrosses the Lower Mainland from Feb. 7-11. Motorists trying to drive to Whistler will be turned back at Alice Lake unless they have a permit proving they have somewhere to park. Detailed maps and more information on getting around during the Olympics can be found at www.travelsmart2010. ca. The bulk of travel to downtown is expected to be via public transit and TransLink says it will have 160 extra buses, 48 more SkyTrain cars and a third SeaBus in service to deal with an expected 30 per cent increase in demand. Rapid transit will run at maximum frequency and for extended hours, and a network of night buses that extend service through the night after SkyTrain shuts down. But the separate Olympic Bus Network, to carry ticket holders from Metro Vancouver to events at Cypress Mountain and Whistler, is so far undersubscribed. Officials say about 40 per cent of the expected number of tickets have been sold. Olympic ticket holders also have free use of regular public transit. Between transit, walking,

biking, shifting commutes to off-peak times or working from home, Vanoc and TransLink hope to achieve a 30 per cent drop in the number of normal car trips across the region. “People have got the message and they’re making their plans,” said TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie. “Alternatives like working from home – that can make a huge difference to traffic volumes in the downtown area or in those corridors where we’ll have the Olympic bus lanes.”

Scalpers cleared to go for the gold BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Olympic ticket scalping is now an officially sanctioned activity in the lead-up to the 2010 Winter Games. Vanoc unveiled a fan-to-fan ticket reselling website Monday with no upper limits on the prices that can be charged. “We decided after much debate to allow a free market on the site,” said Vanoc ticketing vice-president Caley Denton. The reselling site will provide a legitimate place for people wanting tickets to go, he said, with no risk of getting ripped off or ending up with counterfeit tickets and being turned away at a venue. “If someone’s selling tickets outside of this web site, people need to ask themselves why they would be doing that and is that truly a valid ticket,” Denton said. Olympic organizers expect ticket sellers to demand high prices initially as they test what the market will pay. Both the ticket buyer and seller will pay a 10 per cent service fee on each transaction, with the money going to Vanoc. Officials called it a cost-recovery site designed to protect consumers from fraud and help ensure there are full venues at Games time. Access to the ticket reselling site is already linked through ticket holders’ existing online accounts.Tickets sold will be couriered to buyers. Sellers can offer as many tickets as they want, at any price they want, and they can change their asking prices at any time or pull tickets off the site. They won’t get their money right away though – Vanoc says payouts to ticket sellers won’t happen until the spring, after the Paralymics are over. Sales stop 24 hours before each event and unsold tickets remain the property of the seller.

NEIL CORBETT

Mission Record

The Mission Roadrunners senior girls are a powerhouse on the double A basketball circuit, and lived up to their #2 ranking in B.C. by cruising through their home tournament over the weekend. Mission crushed Robert Bateman of Abbotsford 74-47 in their tournament opener last Thursday, then beat a triple A squad in Terry Fox of Coquitlam 64-59 on Friday to win their way into the tournament championship. Saturday afternoon they put the finishing touches on their tournament title with a 61-47 victory over Carihi of Campbell River. Chelsea Reist tallied 21 points in the final game, and was named the tournament MVP. Angie Toor also had 17 points in the final, and Jessica Daigneault 10. Daigneault, Angela Manocha and Ravel Gill were all named to the tournament all-star team from the Roadrunners. Wiley coach Anthony Luyken has set a fast pace for the Roadrunners in recent years, winning the provincial title two years ago, and then last year finishing with the bronze. He has nine girls returning from last year’s thirdplace team, and they’re showing commitment to winning. Reist is one of the leaders. The six-foot-two post has played four years of senior ball, has signed with Simon Fraser University for next season, and can do it all on the court.

“She’s very important this year,” said Luyken. She is supported by six-foot-one forward Theresa Jacobs, who has unfortunately been injured and hasn’t yet had the chance to contribute the way she will. Point guard Daigneault is another Roadrunner who has caught the attention of university scouts. “She brings a lot of energy and intensity. She’s really a committed kid – works her butt off,” said the coach. Manocha is his shooting guard and best defensive player. Gill and Toor are a pair of key forwards, the former bringing quickness and a great transition game, and Toor a nice three-point threat. Jasmin Wells is another player who has been logging lots of quality minutes. Last year’s third-place finish was somewhat disappointing for Luyken. His squad was ranked number – Anthony Luyken one right until the end of the season. At the B.C. tourney they lost to the York House Tigers of Vancouver, who went on to the gold medal game. “We were up by 25 on them, and blew the game,” recalled the coach. In the B.C. final, the Tigers lost to Kalamalka – a team that Mission had beaten. “We thought we should have been number one.” This year, York House appears to be Mission’s nemesis again, and they have the top ranking in the province. “We’re on the right track,” said the coach. “Come provincials, we’re going to surprise some people – we’re going to surprise number one.”

Hotspurs begin cup play with 11th straight win After completing a perfect season and landing on top of the standings, the Mission Hotspurs U-18 soccer squad began cup play Sunday with a win over Royal City United

– which was the team second behind the Hotspurs. The game got off to a slow start with chances going both ways, when the Hotspurs got a break and Branden Edmon-

son scored. Mission then took it away. Blake Roberts went up the field and put the ball right past Royal City goaltender James Peachy. Mission was leading by

two goals when Roberts once again managed to get the ball past Peachy. With five minutes left in the half, Roberts completed a hat trick when he received the ball and

made a beautiful strike to send it into the net. Mission led 4-0 as the game went into half time. A penalty kick was awarded Royal City. Mission goaltender Jesse Har-

rington made the initial save, but a United player kicked the rebound in. Soon after that United struck again to close the score to 4-2. But Mission’s Eric Boer

slid past the United back line to strike the ball past Peachy for a fifth goal. That ended the scoring and led Mission to their 11th straight win, and first cup win.

The in-between season

ere we are in the winter doldrums for sport fishing; the in-between season. If you are a winter steelheader, fortunate enough to have antifreeze in your arteries, you are all fired up waiting for a big push of fish to come in, while the rest of us dream of summer on the beach. This is not a bad place, just slower than we would like it. Not wanting to encourage you in the melancholyness of what some have coined dump month, I would encourage you to take this time for some introspection on where you want sport fishing to take you this year. How’s your equipment look, does any of it need to be repaired or replaced? What about that outboard, when was the last time you changed the Jeff plugs, or the oil in the leg. When was the last time you cleaned and greased your reels? Have you slotted fishing time into your calendar? Many don’t think of planning fishing time, but like anything else in our day and age without planning it can be put off to ad nauseam. We have many fish species in this province, each one is different from the other, having their own preferences in water temperature, oxygen content, and food. These factors change month to month and season to season. An understanding of these changing factors can be achieved through study. Study requires time and time is a commodity we all have in between the seasons. Accent the positive, spring will be here before you know it.

The Report: Our Lower Mainland lakes are in good shape and offer good winters fishing. Focus your efforts close to shore on the north east sections of you favorite lake, from mid morning through mid afternoon. Try: Big Black, Wooly Bugger, Micro leach, Baggy Shrimp,Coachman, Bloodworm, Chironomid Cased Caddis, Zulu, or Doc Spratley. The Fraser River back waters and sloughs are fishing well for cutthroat and rainbow. For cutthroat try: Flesh Fly, Eggo, Rolled Muddler, Mickey Finn, Tied Down Minnow, Professor, Lioness, Winter Stone, Coachman, Zulu, Chez Nymph, or Souboo. For rainbow try any off the above along with: Red Spratley, Red Carey, Kaufmann Stone, Royal Coachman, or Black Gnat. The Stave River is good for cutthroat,rainbow, and whitefish. For whitefish try: small (#14 to #20) Eggo, Souboo, Fleshfly, Griffith Gnat, Stone Nymph, Chironomide, or Caddis Nymph. The Harrison River is good for cutthroat and rainbow. The Chehalis River is fair for steelhead, cutthroat, and rainbow. For steelhead try: Squamish Poacher, Thor, GP, Popsicle, Big Black, Flat Black, Polar Shrimp, Eggo, Steelhead Nightmare, Purpil Peril, Kaufmann Stone, or Steelhead Spratley. The Vedder River is good for steelhead, cutthroat and rainbow. The Squamish River is fair for dolly varden and cutthroat. For dolly varden try: Large #4 to #2, Zonker, Eggo, Bucktail, Big Black, or Clouser’s Deep Minnow. Until the next time, “Keep your fly in the water.”

you purchase identifies you as the dog’s owner. This is important if you need to be contacted because your dog has been found or injured.If you do not purchase a license you will be in violation of the municipal bylaw. If you have any questions contact the Inspection Services Department at 8203727.

People helping people Giving is a necessity sometimes... more urgent, indeed, than having. ~Margaret Lee Runbeck

From November to February District of Mission staff work during the night providing emergency response to adverse road conditions. During the warmer periods when roads do not require snow or ice removal, staff is assigned other tasks which include operating the street sweeping machine. This machine is used to pick up leaves and debris that accumulate in the gutters and catch basins. We realize it is an inconvenience to be woken by machinery in the middle of the night, but the work carried out is critical to everyone’s safety. The District apologizes for the inconvenience and hopes you understand it is for the good of the community.

More than just blue bags at recycling depot Originally intended to accept bluebag recyclables from rural residents, the Mission Recycling Depot has grown into a free drop-off facility for a much larger variety of recyclable materials and items from all residents. Accepted items include electronic waste, limited to desktop computers, monitors, printers, fax machines, scanners, VCRs, TVs, cables and keyboards; automotive batteries; rechargeable and non-rechargeable household batteries (up to one kilogram in weight each); cell phones; books; empty propane tanks; fluorescent light tubes (no compacts, please); scrap metal and metal appliances (except for fridges and freezers, which can be dropped off free of charge at the Mission landfill); and select household hazardous wastes, including paint, spray paint, paint thinner, domestic pesticides, old gasoline and kerosene. Limits and product specifications may apply, so please phone ahead (604-814-3555) to confirm accept-

ability. Challenge your family to recycle and compost as much as possible, and include your food waste in your curbside compost. Seventy per cent of the waste arriving at the landfill could have been recycled or composted, resulting in unnecessary short and long-term landfill costs. A family of four should be able to produce less than one bag of garbage per week. The Mission Recycling Depot is located at 7229 Mershon St. (across from Westcoast Express parking lot), and is open seven days a week from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Depot staff can be reached at 604814-3555. More information on waste reduction and recycling opportunities can be obtained at www.mission.ca, or by phoning the engineering department at 604-820-3736. For recycling options of other materials, please phone the Recycling Council of BC’s hotline at 1-800667-4321.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 890 and 892 of the Local Government Act, a Public Hearing will take place in the Council Chambers of the Municipal Hall, 8645 Stave Lake Street, Mission, BC at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, January 25, 2010 to consider the following proposed bylaws: 1. DISTRICT OF MISSION ZONING AMENDING BYLAW 5020-2009 (R08-025 - Shamei) This bylaw proposes to amend District of Mission Zoning Bylaw 5050-2009 by amending the zoning of the following legally described property: Parcel Identifier: 003-517-535 Lot 51 Section 33 Township 17 New Westminster District Plan 64607 from RU16 Rural 16 zone to RR7 Rural Residential 7 zone. The location of the subject property is 9574 Brenda Street and is shown on the following map:

The purpose of the proposed amendment is to accommodate the subsequent subdivision of the subject property into 2 lots of a minimum 0.7 hectare (1.73 acre) lot size. 2. DISTRICT OF MISSION ZONING AMENDING BYLAW 5071-2009-5050(1) (R09-013 - Mikes) This bylaw proposes to amend District of Mission Zoning Bylaw 5050-2009 by amending the zoning of a portion of the following legally described property: Parcel Identifier: 012-426-733 Lot 11 Section 15 Township 15 New Westminster District Plan 2061

Cats for adoption Are you interested in adopting a cat? The Fraser Valley Humane Society (FVHS) runs the Cat Adoption Centre on Railway Avenue in Mission, (just behind the Royal Bank). It is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Special appointments can also be arranged to view the cats if these times are not convenient. The FVHS is the complete “official” service for cats in and around Mission. There is also a network of

The location of the subject property is 11759 Wilson Street and is shown on the following map:

dedicated volunteers who do what they can individually in addition to FVHS services. As well as visiting the Cat Adoption Centre the shelter could certainly use some volunteers to maintain the centre and help socializing the cats. The FVHS is always engaged in furthering public awareness on the needs of cats, the duty to spay and neuter and to accept a lifetime responsibility for a pet. Contact them at 604-820-2977.

Clean up after your dog Various tools are available for picking up dog waste. Some people use a shovel, and may bury the waste in their yards. Scooper tools can make the job easier. These are usually lighter than a shovel and more customized for the pickup task. You can tote along a bucket or bag to save steps. A simple plastic bag slipped over your hand like a glove makes an efficient and completely clean pickup tool. A latex glove is also useful. A wide variety of bags will work, making this one way to recycle. Simply pick up the feces, turn the bag inside out to enclose it, tie the top, and deposit it in a legal container. This system works well on outings as well as at home. Several of the parks

from RU16 Rural 16 zone to RR7 Rural Residential 7 zone.

in your community already supply these bags for free. Look for them and use them. If bending is difficult for you, a long-handled scooper tool may be your better choice. Some of these are designed to work with disposable bags. There are quite a few different tools designed for picking up your dog waste. Picking up is just part of having a dog. If everyone would do it, there would be far fewer objections to dogs living and traveling in human communities. Be proud to be seen picking up dog waste. It may seem silly at first, but people who see you do this will know any mess left behind is not from your dog.

The purpose of the proposed amendment is to rezone the western portion of the property to accommodate the subsequent subdivision of the subject property into two lots; Lot A is a minimum 0.7 hectare (1.73 acre) lot size and Lot B is a minimum 1.6 hectare (4.0 acre) lot size. 3. DISTRICT OF MISSION ZONING AMENDING BYLAW 5105-2009-5050(2) (R09-012 – District of Mission) This bylaw proposes to amend the text of District of Mission Zoning Bylaw 5050-2009 by amending Section 102 Definitions, Section 104 General Regulations Part B. 2.a, Section 108 Environmental Protection Part C. 5., Section 109 Off Street Parking Regulations Part C. Paragraph 1, Section 111 Fencing, Landscaping, Retaining, Buffering Part A. Paragraph 1.a., Section 1005 Industrial Automobile Repair Zones Part B. Permitted Uses and the tables referenced in Section 106 Use Regulations Part D. Use Categories as required. The purpose of the proposed text amendments is to provide clarification of definitions, language and zone specific amendments. Copies of the proposed bylaws and reports relevant to these bylaws may be inspected at the Municipal Hall, 8645 Stave Lake Street, Mission, BC, Monday to Friday, excluding statutory holidays, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. from January 14, 2010 to January 25, 2010. For further information regarding any of these bylaws please contact the Planning Department at (604) 820-3748. At the Public Hearing all persons who believe their interest in property is affected by these proposed bylaws will be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or make written presentations or written submissions respecting matters contained in the proposed bylaws that are the subject of the Public Hearing.

Certain municipal utility rate increases are also planned for 2010. The plan is to increase utility rates overall by 12% or $109. For those residential properties that are connected to the water and/or sewer systems and that receive refuse and recycling pick-up services the increases are shown below. The cost of water and sewer is increasing substantially because of major regional utility infrastructure that is required within the next five years or so. A second water source (Stave Lake) and a major water treatment plant are needed as well as a third trickling filter for the regional sewage treatment plant. Water conservation will help us to delay the major regional water infrastructure and save you money, as Mission and Abbotsford residents share in the cost of the regional systems based on usage.

Mission Record

Arms at Cedarbrooke Chateau.

eel on the River is beginning its winter season with a hilarious French comendy called Bienvenue Chez les Ch’tis, better known as Welcome to the Sticks in English. The story is about a post office manager named Phillippe who wants to be transferred to the French Riviera, the most beautiful part of the country, to save his marriage. He fakes a disability and lies his way through interviews, but just when he is about to receive the promotion, his charade falls apart. Now, instead of packing sunblock and swimming trunks, Phillippe is shoving thick gloves and a parka in a suitcase and heading in the opposite direction. He is exiled to the north to a place called Bergues in the Pas de Calais region for at least two years. Not wanting to subject his family to that horrible fate, Phillippe goes alone, and even when he gets pulled over for driving too slow on the highway, the officers offer their condolences. Nobody wants to go north. He expects the north to be horrible and run by rednecks, but as he gets to know his surroundings, he finds some unexpected surprises and learns northerners aren’t all that different. The movie stereotypes the French in the north, in a way even northerners find funny. I was in France when I saw this

Welcome to the Sticks, a French comedy starring Kad Merad and Dany Boon, broke box office records in France, and will be playing at SilverCity in Mission next Monday.

film last year, visiting a friend who lives a short distance away from where the movie was set. Sonia and her husband insisted

we watch it. Nothing had made her laugh like that in a long time, and this would really help me understand more of her country.

My friends vacation in southern France nearly every year and can understand why the north is considered ugly. One thing the movie does bring home very well is how friendly and warm the people in the north are. But I already knew that as this was my third time in France and I still haven’t made it to the French Riviera. According to my friends, since this movie has been released, tourism in northern France has increased significantly and even those from the south are finding reasons to visit this relatively unfamiliar and unpopular territory. The film has good humour, great actors, and even the subtitles are funny. It stars Kad Merad as Phillippe, and French comedian Dany Boon as Antoine Bailleul. In France, the film broke every box office record in 2008 and grossed more than $193 million just in that country. A North American version of this French hit is in the works with Warner Bros. and Will Smith. Welcome to the Sticks will be playing at Mission’s Silvercity theatres on Jan. 18 at 7:30 p.m. Reel On The River is a local notfor-profit group committed to bringing, Canadian, foreign and independent films which might not normally be shown in Mission.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 2010

Community calendar listings BRING OUT THE BEST IN OTHERS

We all have an obligation to try to bring out the good qualities in others. It is an important responsibility for parents and teachers to recognize and help develop the talents that their children may possess. Coaches, clergy, employers, and even husbands and wives also bear a responsibility to help bring out the best in those with whom they associate. Supporting and caring about others exemplifies the love that God has for us, and in the Bible, there are many examples of ordinary people becoming heroes and heroines because our Lord was able to bring out their best efforts. Being considerate, kind and helpful to others not only brings out the best in them, it also brings out the best in us. It is important to reflect good values and God’s love in our everyday life, and we should be mindful that our words and actions do affect others. By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Gordie passed away suddenly at home in Mission on January 5th, 2009 at the age of 65. He was born in 1944 in Vancouver. He is predeceased by his father Wesley, brother Richard and sister Elaine. Gordon is deeply missed by his wife of 28 years, Sandra, sons Mark and Chris, mother Martha Blenkarn (Keith), brothers Ed (Nadine), Stefan, Clifford, Elden and Calvin, sister Carol (Harvey), as well as many nieces and nephews. Gordie moved to Mission in 1979, and married Sandra in 1981. As a young man Gordie travelled the world on merchant ships. He later worked in rinks and recreation centres, and car service and sales, but his most challenging and rewarding years were spent as a foster parent. In retirement a day was not complete without at least one visit to Tim Horton’s to spend time with his wonderful friends. He proudly wore shorts all year long, loved to talk, and expected to share a smile and laugh with everyone he saw. Gordie was a proud father, loyal friend, and devoted husband. He was a good man with deep love for the people in his life. A celebration of Gordie’s life will be held on Saturday, January 23rd at 1:00 pm in Thornhill Hall at 26007 – 98th Ave. Maple Ridge, V2W 1T3. Please join us in sharing our favorite memories.
