Heavy snowfall snarls Mission BY JASON ROESSLE ADRIAN MACNAIR

AND

Mission Record

Blowing snow and temperatures around –13 C greeted Mission residents Wednesday morning, as the municipality began to function normally again. The large dump of snow over the weekend and into Monday and Tuesday halted transit buses and closed schools those days, but by Jan. 18, all services were back to normal and the children returned to school. The District of Mission had every piece of municipally owned equipment out on the roads this week clearing the accumulations. “We’re managing to keep up, but barely,” said Rick Grant, Tuesday, answering phone calls from the public in between driving around Mission in his four-wheel drive vehicle equipped with snow tires. The district has its own weather service, and Mission wound up being the hardest hit by winter throughout the Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver. Garbage collection was cancelled Monday. Street clearing is prioritized from one to three. Priority ones are major hills like Stave Lake Road, Cedar Street, Grand Street, Wren Street, Hurd Street or Murray Street. Priority twos would be hills like Columbia Street,

Dunsmuir Street, James Street and Welton Street, or other streets that aren’t major thoroughfares but see a lot of traffic due to shortcuts. Priority threes are the residential flat streets. “We don’t hit those until the major hills are as clear as they can be, but if it continues snowing like it is now we’ll have to get back onto the number ones,” said Grant. Weather reports at The Record’s press deadline Wednesday morning showed more snow coming throughout the day, followed by clouds on Thursday, mixed rain and snow Friday, rain Saturday and more snow Sunday.

MORE MONEY TO THE ARTS The provincial government announced more money will be funelled back into the arts through gaming grants, but some local organizations aren’t overly impressed. PAGE 5

Mission motorcyclist perishes in collision Motorists urged to keep eye out for riders

A Mission motorcyclist was killed last Tuesday on Lougheed Highway. The 50-year-old man was riding his Harley Davidson westbound east of the visitors’ booth just before 6 p.m. when it collided with the passenger side of a Dodge Durango. An off-duty Mission firefighter and corrections officer attempted CPR on the motorcyclist, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

The passenger in the Durango was transported by ambulance to Abbotsford Regional Hospital with leg injuries. “As motorcycles become more and more popular on our roads it is imperative that drivers pay extra attention,” said Mission RCMP’s Sgt. Miriam Dickson. “With the climate in B.C., motorcyclists travel on our roads throughout the year so it is important to keep an eye out for them at all times.” The exact cause of the collision is still under investigation and Mission RCMP are asking anyone with information to call 604-826-7161.

Approval won’t be granted, says developer BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

The developer behind a proposed $80-million commercial and residential development at Wren Street and Lougheed Highway says Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) won’t grant environmental approval for the project. Karel Carhoun, whose company, Carhoun and Sons Ent. Ltd., has been seeking approval for the Wren Creek site since September 2009, said a DFO official told him his project will be rejected and he

doesn’t understand why. The issue is whether the project is “likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects,” the reason Environment Canada recommended DFO reject the proposal in October. At that time, the stumbling block was the uncertainty over the endangered Oregon forestsnail. But further provincial research has shown there are more snails in Canada than previously believed. Carhoun said DFO assured him he would have a final decision on Dec. 9, 2011

but that didn’t happen. Two weeks later, he says he received a letter from Environment Canada that claimed the floodplain portion of his property is wetland. There are now three areas on the property Environment Canada claims are wetlands, two located at the base of two ravines that would be filled in for the development and the third adjacent to the Silverdale Creek Wetlands. But Carhoun says he has already addressed these areas in the mitigation and compensation plan that DFO agreed

to last July. For the two ravines that will be filled in, Carhoun is buying the nearby Sun Valley Trout Park, and would merge existing trout ponds with the Silverdale Creek to provide an ecological preserve for both fish and other species at risk. For the stormwater detention pond at the west end, Carhoun’s environmental engineers have written that these artificial wetlands could be engineered to improve fish habitat over existing conditions.

When The Record contacted DFO, a government spokesperson said the environmental assessment process for the Wren Creek project is ongoing. “At this time, no decision has been made,” said Carrie Mishima. “It would be inappropriate for DFO to comment on the outcomes of the assessment until the assessment process has been completed and the project proponent has been notified.” The Carhoun project could generate as many as 1,000

jobs and provide $2.5 million in additional property taxes to the district based on estimates made by Mission’s economic development officer, Stacey Crawford. Quick facts According to Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency statistics for the past five years, of the 2,164 decisions made by DFO during this time period, this would be the first assessment determined “likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.”

RCMP crime-free housing workshop offered today The Mission Crime Free Multi-Housing Program is a direct and solutionoriented crime prevention initiative, designed specifically to help apartment owners, managers, residents, police and other significant agencies work together to help keep illegal and nuisance activity off rental property. It provides training in the deployment of effective property management techniques, Residential Tenancy law and encourages people to take personal interest in what goes on in their apartment community. By signing a lease addendum, the tenants agree they will not engage in criminal behavior on the rental property. Contravention of this addendum is grounds for eviction under the rules of the Residential Tenancy Act. There will be a one-day training workshop, hosted by Mission RCMP

and Abbotsford Police Department, in partnership with the BC Crime Prevention Association. This workshop is designed for property owners, property managers and resident managers and is required to complete the Phase One requirement for the CFMH Program. The next one day workshop will be Jan. 19 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Mission Leisure Centre, 7650 Grand St. The cost is $75 (including GST) and pre-registration is required. Further information and a copy of the registration form can be found at www. bccpa.org. To learn more about how you can bring the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program to your property, contact Vic Barron at the Mission Crime Prevention Office, 604-820-2722 or via e-mail at mission_cpo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.

a critical budget item. The Mission District Historical Society was forced to go to the district in November to ask for help covering an $11,000 budgetary shortfall caused by $25,000 in cuts. And although the news seems to signal a change of heart from the government, society director Joan MacLatchy is cautiously optimistic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It essentially restores the funding to the level that it was at before last year, but it is also adding a number of groups to the mix of people who can apply for the funding.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear whether that is better or worse for the society, said MacLatchy. Nancy Arcand, ex-

ecutive director of the Mission Arts Council (MAC), says when she spoke to representatives from the government last Thursday, they told her that it will be looking at prioritizing organizations who had funding decreased in 2009, not the ones that are once again eligible. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jumping for joy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll believe it when I see it. But, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been sustainable through this and hopefully this will just be an added increase to what we can provide to the community.â&#x20AC;? MAC had $30,000 cut from its budget by the province in 2009, forcing Arcand to lay herself off and work for the council for free. That shortfall was mitigated partially

The news that provincial gaming grants will be partially restored has come as a welcome relief to several non-profit and arts groups in Mission. The Mission Folk Music Festival lost nearly $65,000 in gaming grants a year ago, and a total of about $110,000 in funding that came via other organizations, leading to questions whether it could be held this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to hear the government state that it made a mistake when it cuts the arts,â&#x20AC;? said Francis Xavier, long-time festival organizer, before adding thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a long way to go before full funding is restored. The total fund remains at $135 million, where it was set by Premier Christy Clark last year, but well below its 2008 peak of $156 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;B.C. has the lowest per capita arts funding of any province in Canada,â&#x20AC;? said Xavier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just to reach the national average the province would have to infuse more than $50 million into the arts.â&#x20AC;? Many local community groups have relied on gaming grants money as

by receiving a permissive tax exemption on rent from municipal council. Then in 2010 MAC received $15,000 in restored funding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though $15,000 doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound like a lot to people, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge crunch for us.â&#x20AC;? Xavier says the arts deserves a stronger investment from the province, not only for the community benefit, but because it provides a high rate of return. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The arts creates twice as many jobs as forestry does in Canada, but forestry is more highly subsidized.â&#x20AC;? He said local arts cuts have a compounding effect, making it harder to apply for grants outside the province. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why should foundations and other organizations invest in a province or a community that cannot, or will not, invest in itself?â&#x20AC;? After last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cuts to the folk festival, Xavier said he put on the festival at a financial loss, gambling on the gaming grants coming back for 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happened and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good sign for us,â&#x20AC;? he said.

OPINION

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

Try taking your foot off the gas It’s been another amazing week watching inexperienced snow pilots struggle their way through Mission and beyond. Despite the fact we receive a higher amount of snow in Mission compared to Metro Vancouver, there are still those among us who decide snow tires are an expensive “option” that they can do without. To them we say, thanks a lot. Thanks for causing unnecessary accidents due to the fact you can’t keep your car on the road, and in turn, taking up emergency responders’ time to fish you out of the ditch. And a special thanks to those remarkable individuals with four-wheel drive vehicles who believe this gives them the right to fly down the road at the posted speed limit; you know, the one that’s set for ideal conditions. Snow-covered roads just don’t fit our criteria for ideal, so take your foot off the gas, sport. And here’s a tip: If you can see a vehicle struggling for traction climbing a hill, don’t try to pass them on the hill. Besides being rude, it’s utterly dangerous and likely to cause an insurance claim. Many people like to assail the municipality about its snow clearing efforts, but from our observations, they are doing the best job they can. Budgeting for snow removal in an area that either gets little snow, or whopping amounts, must be challenging. In the end, the district isn’t driving your car. You make the choices, so be cautious. For all our sakes.

Enbridge pipeline won’t happen A fter following the opening phase of the National Energy Board’s hearings on the Northern Gateway oil pipeline proposal, I have a prediction. B.C. will never see this pipeline. And that’s probably the best outcome. The first reason is the nearly unanimous opposition of informed Kitimat-area residents, led by Haisla Nation Chief Councillor Ellis Ross and skilled local volunteers who described the marine environment of the Kitimat estuary. There was speculation that Ross, who was just appointed to chair Premier Christy Clark’s new Aboriginal Business and Investment Council, might bend on the oil proposal. His testimony put that notion to rest. The Haisla, Haida, Gitga’at and other members of the Coastal First Nations group put their marker down on managed logging and eco-tourism years before this pipeline debate heated up. Moving inland, the Northern Gateway pipeline route is a tangle of dozens of asserted

traditional territories, some in the century-old Treaty 8 zone and others with no legal settlement. The Haisla have embraced liquefied natural gas ships, plants and pipelines, which may be all the industrial development the region can handle. Condensate can continue to be shipped into Kitimat by tankers and sent by railcar to Alberta to dilute bitumen. Which brings me to the alternatives to Northern Gateway. CP Rail just announced a major investment in its U.S. main line To south of Saskatchewan, to transport crude oil from the Bakken Formation, an emerging source of shale oil and gas under Saskatchewan, Alberta and North Dakota. CP shipments out of North Dakota went from 500 carloads in 2009 to more than 13,000 carloads in 2011. The new target is 70,000. B.C.’s likeliest alternative

for oilsands crude is the existing Trans Mountain pipeline, which has been pumping Alberta oil and refined products to the West Coast at Burrard Inlet for nearly 60 years. Port Moody’s Ioco refinery is gone, but Chevron’s Burnaby plant remains, and some crude goes out by tanker or pipeline to refineries south of B.C. The current owner of Trans Mountain, Kinder Morgan Canada, is naturally watching the Enbridge battle closely. A Kinder Morgan representative provided the following m information about tanker traffic from their Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby. In 2011 there were 32 tankers loaded at Westridge, down from 69 in 2010. Demand varies widely (there were no tankers in 2000) and current traffic is similar to what went out of Burrard Inlet in the 1970s. Contrary to popular be-

B.C. Views

Fletcher

lief, there is not yet a major surge to Asia. For every 10 ships that load at Westridge, on average eight sail to California, one to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries, and only one to Asia. Current Port Metro Vancouver rules allow Aframax-class tankers (80,000 to 119,000 dead weight tons) to pass under the Lions Gate and Second Narrows bridges, but they can’t take on a full load. That would require dredging in Second Narrows, which would increase general shipping safety as well as capacity. Kinder Morgan has not yet formally applied to twin the Trans Mountain line. If it does expand its priceless right of way, the capacity would be greater than the Enbridge proposal. One way or another, that oil will move. The professional environmentalist gong show over Enbridge is still to come. More on that next week.

A notice sent from the planning department to area residents regarding a development variance application from former Mission councillor John Pearson, indicated that the purpose of the application pertained to the development of a singlefamily residence; it did not state that there was an additional purpose for the variance — that of future townhouse development. The variance was not a simple one as it involved floodplain, land

fill, setbacks and Department of Fisheries and Ocean (DFO) issues on the existing Gaudin ‘C’ Creek (The same creek that has been in the news lately for diversion cost overruns). The planning department, in my opinion, was not much help in the process as they put out very little information to the public in the original notice and made an error in the closing date for public input. I believe this forced them to issue a revised notice with additional information (though still incomplete). This left concerned residents even less time to respond considering the approaching Christmas holiday. The accepted procedure for Mr. Pearson’s appearance before coun-

cil was for him to have the opportunity to present his variance plan and respond to council’s questions. Near the end, Mr. Pearson deviated into a protracted speech with negative comments made by him about a “flyer” that was delivered to a number of residents and that he did not want to wait for further public input (recommended to the council by the planning department). He strongly urged council to approve his application there and then. I believe the council had two options: 1. With or without advisement of the planning department, postpone a decision until a meeting could be held for the purpose of further public input. 2. Immediately debate and vote for

or against the application. The council voted to accept the variance. I would say that Mr. Pearson threw away caution when he made his voting comments to the council but it also fell upon the mayor to removed all suspicion of bias in a democratic process by cautioning the council that they should not take Mr. Pearson’s voting remarks into consideration when deciding whether or not to extend the process to further public input. Observing the decisions made at the meeting makes me question if such a rushed council decision, with important precedents being set is in the public’s best interest. Alan Palmer Red Deer

Sidewalks should be Saturday, January 28 cleared 9 am–4 pm at Hemlock Resort faster Editor, The Record: I am wondering if any other pedestrians in Mission are wondering what is in the snow plowers’ minds. Roadways are cleared, but sidewalks are exempt, even though a homeowner can get a fine for not clearing their sidewalk. I walk to work, and the sidewalk on Hurd Street, a snow route, is deplorable. The Lougheed Highway sidewalk is icy and impassable. Who’s job is it to clear these? Art Walker Mission

Man uninjured after train hits his vehicle A 77-year-old Surrey man was fortunate to be alive after his car was struck by a train east of Mission. The man’s car became stuck on the train tracks at the crossing near Hawkins Pickle Road and Bell Road just after 3 a.m. last Thursday. “The elderly male had the good sense to immediately get out of his vehicle when he saw the train approaching, preventing him from serious or fatal injuries,” said Mission RCMP Cpl. Sharon Siluch. The train hit the Dodge Caravan, sending it 400 metres down the tracks, destroying it on impact. The man told police that he had been driving, and had been lost for four hours when he became disoriented. He turned onto what he thought was a side road, when in fact, it was train tracks. When he tried to turn his vehicle around, he became stuck. He was taken to hospital for precautionary measures.

Friday was a day of firsts for a group of Abbotsford and Mission children. Blind and visually-impaired youth from Fraser Valley School District 34 were given the chance to learn how to skate last week, many having never laced up before. Courage Canada, a national registered charity founded in 2008 by blind hockey player Mark DeMontis, aims to provide Canadians of all ages with opportunities to skate and eventually learn to play hockey. DeMontis founded Courage Canada at the age of 21, four years after his ambitions to play hockey were derailed by a diagnosis of Leber’s Optic Neuropathy — a rare condition that affected the central sight of both his eyes, leaving him legally blind. The organization raises funds to help blind and visually-imparied youth realize their potential in collaboration with district school board programs, and support blind hockey teams for adults across the country. According to Courage Canada, a tax-deductible donation of $20.12 helps to make the ice accessible for one blind or visuallyimpaired child that season. Funds go directly towards the cost of ice rental, skates, equipment, transportation and instructors. To learn more about their programs go online to couragecanada.ca.

Living in the Lower Mainland and hearing the word “snow” can be downright chilling. It wouldn’t be so bad if we didn’t have to shovel it, but it would seem that we have no choice. To make matters worse, the risk of injury is significantly greater after a good snowfall, so you have to act fast to keep friends and loved ones safe when visiting for the holidays. As with many things, common sense and a little elbow grease tend to work best when controlling your winter wonderland. Snow removal is easier if you follow these simple guidelines:

sidewalks • As soon as snow or freezing rain begins to fall, spread a melting agent on the driveway and regularly traveled walkways to help slow the freezing process. • Grab a shovel and get outside as soon as you can, and don’t wait for the sun to melt the snow naturally — a sudden drop in temperature can solidify snowfall quickly. Clear more than just a single-shovel path on the walkways, which will make walking safer. • If you are unable to remove a patch of ice, crack it with an ice chisel or heavy-duty scraping tool to expose the surface to the air.

Always look for a shut off tipping feature when purchasing a portable space heater. • Extension cords are a common cause of electrical fires. That is why you must be careful to use only extension cords that are rated for the power used by the device they are powering. • Extension cords must never be run inside walls or under rugs or furniture. They can be damaged by traffic or heavy furniture and start arcing which can lead to a fire. • Extension cords can get warm during use and must be able to dissipate this heat or they can start a fire.

Bone Thugs still rapping in harmony

A lifetime of healthy smiles begin here...

Our goal, with your help, is to raise $590,000 Wish Bone (left) and Krayzie Bone bring half of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony to the Clarke Theatre in Mission on Monday, Jan. 23. RYAN WEST PHOTO

BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

When it comes to the rap game, the group Bone Thugs-n-Harmony are genuine old school OGs who have collaborated with the industry’s most legendary superstars, like Eazy-E, 2Pac and Notorious B.I.G. Originally formed in 1991 in Cleveland, Ohio, with rappers Layzie Bone, Flesh-n-Bone, Bizzy Bone, Krayzie Bone, and Wish Bone, it was N.W.A’s Eazy-E who signed the group to Ruthless Records in 1993 and launched their careers. Wish and Krayzie were just 18 and 20 years old, respectively, when Bone Thugs debuted their EP Creepin on ah Come Up, which included the single Thuggish Ruggish Bone that reached second on the 1994 rap charts. Now, nearly two decades later, Wish and Krayzie have split from the group to work on a solo album with their label The Life Entertainment. The split in April of last year was big news in the hip-hop world, leading to the question of whether Bone Thugs was finished. “What everybody thinks is we broke up, we hate each other, but that’s just not the case,” says Wish Bone, explaining that members have “grown up” since 1991 and have their own lives. But, he adds, there’s a deal on the table for Krayzie and Wish to come back and do a 10th Bone album. Thinking back, Wish says he always knew Bone Thugs had a special sound and was just waiting for the “right ears” to come along and hear it. As it turns out, those ears belonged to Eazy-E, who died in 1995 while on top of the rap world.

He says Eazy will always be an influence for Bone Thugs because he opened the door to mainstream hip-hop. “Not just for us, but the rap game period, because without Eazy-E you wouldn’t have ‘gangsta rap’.” While many rappers who make it big end up moving away from their hometown, Wish has stayed in Cleveland, where he has friends and the opportunity to scout local talent and help them get noticed the way Eazy did for him. Although Bone Thugs has been around since 1991, most of their members are still under 40 and Wish is just 36. “We came into the game when we were young, and there’s people coming in now that are older than us, so if they can do it, we can still do it.” Wish and Krayzie are coming to Mission’s Clarke Theatre on Monday, Jan. 23, also featuring rappers DTG, Suitable Ties, Dillema, Terrel Safadi, and J Bru. Tickets are $30 and are available by calling 604-768-9877 or visiting Mac & Mango in the Sevenoaks Mall in Abbotsford. Doors open at 8 p.m.

Choose healthy – ZERO sugar-sweetened drinks

Avoid sugar-sweetened beverages, like pop and fruit punch. They provide little nutritional value and are packed with calories.

Offer children water throughout the day. Try fresh slices of lemon or cucumber to add a refreshing ﬂavour to water.

Plain milk is a healthy alternative to sugary drinks. Refer to Canada’s food guide to learn how much milk and milk alternatives your child needs each day.

Real, unsweetened fruit juice can be offered as an occasional treat. Be sure to limit juice to one small glass (125 ml).
