Coping with catastophe Mission man heads up an agency scrambling to deal with aftermath of Haitian quake

BY JASON

The aftershock of the disastrous earthquake in Haiti are rippling across the planet, affecting people as far away as Mission.

The outpouring of aid for Haiti continues and aiming money towards organizations with an established history in the nation could help even further, according to Light of the World Ministries.

The inter-denominational registered Canadian charity has been working in Haiti since the organization’s inception in the early 1980s, said president and founder Ross Robbins, a Ruskin resident.

He explained that Light of the World has 300 pastors, assistants and leaders working under head pastor St. Clair St. Laurent, a man who visited the Lower Mainland in November 2008 to speak about the Haitians’ plight.

Robbins and Coquitlam’s Brad Nuber, who

serves as Light of the World’s vice-president of ministry operations, said they were able to speak with St. Laurent earlier this week for just two minutes. During that short conversation, St. Laurent told them there were thousands of bodies piled everywhere, his own house was destroyed and they haven’t heard the fate of the organization’s orphanage in Gonaives, which houses about 30 children and is located approximately 100 km north of Port-au-Prince.

Help is already on its way to earthquake-devastated Haiti, thanks to funds raised last November at the Annual Rotary Club Auction.

Part of the proceeds from that gala fundraiser went to ShelterBox to provide emergency relief supplies to the impoverished country. The two Rotary clubs in Mission have supported ShelterBox for several years to help send emergency aid to disaster areas around the world.

A 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck the Caribbean island on Jan. 12. Thousands have been killed, and many more left homeless. ShelterBox is working to ensure emergency shelter reaches the island as quickly as possible.

Each ShelterBox kit consists of a tent, cooking utensils, sleeping bags, tools, ponchos, multi-fuel stove and water purification supplies for 10 people.

Other ways to help: WORLD VISION World Vision is on the ground in Portau-Prince. With an international response team flying in from around the globe to assist, its relief efforts are underway.

A campaign has begun on Facebook and Twitter, challenging members of those networks to donate $10 to World Vision Canada for relief efforts in Haiti by going to http://bit.ly/Help_Haiti and then inviting their friends list or followers to do the same. This has resulted in a dramatic increase of online giving to worldvision.ca — almost 10 times the

usual traffic.

Donors can visit www.worldvision.ca or call 1-800-268-5528.

SALVATION ARMY The Salvation Army has activated its Text to Donate program in support of the Haiti Earthquake Disaster Relief Fund.

Canadians can make a $5 donation to the Army’s efforts in Haiti by texting the word HAITI to 45678 from any Rogers Wireless or Bell Mobility phone. The donation will appear as a charge on a donor’s carrier bill and standard rates may apply. Donors can unsubscribe at any time by replying to the message or texting the word ‘STOP’ to 45678.

In addition to the text message donation program, Canadians can support Salvation Army’s relief effort in Haiti by calling 1-800-SAL-ARMY (725-2769), by visiting www.salvationarmy.ca, or dropping off financial donations at the closest Salvation Army unit.

CANADIAN RED CROSS Red Cross response was immediate to the earthquake. Local volunteers continue to support evacuation activities and provide shelter, clean water and medical support. The Canadian Red Cross has contributed $200,000 from its international disaster relief fund and Canadian aid workers are on standby to be deployed to Haiti if needed.

Donations can be made online at www.redcross.ca/helpnow, or by calling 1-800-418-1111.

use in the impoverished nation and according to Nuber and Robbins, cash is king in these types of relief works.

Once some semblance of order is restored and items such as water are able to be distributed to the displaced Haitians, the people will have to purchase the water from suppliers, they explained.

Because Light of the World knows the lay of the land, Robbins said they have existing infrastructure that can be used to get help where it’s most needed, including arranging for medical supplies.

“Our big area of worry is all the infections,” he said. “The team will assess what is needed medically too. So many people are hurt, so many are injured.”

Pool hall could soon be serving alcoholic drinks

BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Mission Snipers Pool hall owners are racking up support for a licence to serve liquor to their patrons.

Cesar Morales and Mirna Guevara, a husband and wife team who own of the First Avenue facility, say a liquor licence would hopefully help draw more clients and improve business.

They are proposing to build a 384 sq. ft. lounge which would seat 29 patrons.

Neither police, Mission’s economic development office, fire service or building inspection services is opposed to the licence, however the Downtown Business Association asked council to defer the issue until it can get more information about the operation.

“We want to ask for more time ... to understand it better,” said DBA’s Kathy Mackovic who presented council with a petition opposing the liquor license.

According to council, the applicants have already gone through the process, which included an information meeting, and referral to external agencies, and anyone who has concerns could have made their opinions known over the last month.

Most of the letters to the district opposed to the request come from parents of the Fraser Valley Dance Academy, which is located across the street from the pool hall. Most fear alcohol would attract undesirable people to the area, and they didn’t want their children exposed to any drunkenness that might occur.

While there was a petition against the licence, there was also a petition in support of it.

Since Morales and Guevara transformed the facility back to a pool hall in April last year, they have been struggling to bring clients in.

Their customers are the ones requesting the pool hall serve alcohol, Guevara told The Record.

The lounge would be sectioned off and it would

be the only area in the building where alcoholic beverages could be consumed.

“Minors are not allowed in the area,” said Guevara, noting patrons can also purchase food like burgers and hot dogs.

There are 10 pool tables in the main playing area and a snooker table on the lower level Parents and their children come in to play as well as friends, she said. Guevara has four children and any one of them can be in there to help her.

The family has lived in Mission for 10 years, and her husband used to frequent the old pool hall before it was closed down and turned into an antique shop. When the antique store closed its doors, Morales saw an opportunity to bring back a social setting he used to enjoy near his home.

There are tournaments nearly every weekend and players come from all over the Lower Mainland.

No one loiters outside the hall, and there are rules inside the establishment as well, such as no sitting on the tables and no foul language.

“We want to stay here for a long time,” said Guevara, an entrepreneur who also runs a construction company with her husband. “We want things to run smoothly.”

Guevara invites anyone with concerns to visit Snipers to find out for themselves what kind of business it is.

Mission council forwarded its support for the liquor licence to the Liquor control and Licensing Branch.

There is no overwhelming voice one way or the other, said Coun. Paul Horn about the correspondence the district has received on the matter.

In the past there has been a liquor licence at the establishment, and council needs to help businesses thrive, he added, saying if problems arise, the district can deal with it through its business licence.

Council voted 4-2 in support of the application, with Coun. Danny Plecas and Terry Gidda opposed. Coun. Jenny Stevens was absent from the meeting.

Snipers owner Mirna Guevara plans to build a lounge inside the pool hall where alcoholic beverages can be served. She says it’s something her customers have been asking for.

Fort Nelson man raises torch

BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Ken Carlsen knows he is a lucky man.

He was one of seven Save on Foods and Overwaitea employees from across B.C. and Alberta selected to run a leg of the Olympic torch relay. But that’s not the only reason why he’s lucky. Carlsen wouldn’t have that honour if he didn’t survive a brush with death more than three years ago.

In 2006, Carlsen, a meat cutter at the large chain grocery store, was diagnosed with a benign tumour which had to be removed because it was blocking the flow of brain fluid. It was a risky procedure. Carlsen could have woken up with memory loss or slow motor skills.

Fortunately, the Fort Nelson resident made it through without any complications, and he continued to impress doctors when he made a full recovery.

Carlsen, now 51, has had a lot of time to think about life since then. He’s grateful for what many consider a second chance at life, and he still asks why he’s one of the lucky ones.

Carlsen believes in community spirit and is doing what he can to support the upcoming Olympics. He won the chance to carry the torch in Mission by creating a display at the northern B.C. Overweaitea store promoting the Olympics and Powerade. The project features a podium, resembling the ones at the Olympics where athletes receive their medals, made out of stacks of Powerade products. On either side of the podium are towers with flames at the top. And hanging above the entire display, will the be Olympic Rings.

Carlsen has enrolled the help of high school students in Fort Nelson to build the project, which is being set up this week.

He also plans to set up a table during the two weeks leading up to the Olympics, where customers can sample Powerade.

There will also be a barbecue running, and customer can buy a hotdog or hamburger with proceeds going to the Canadian Olympic Foundation.

Carlsen will be there cheering when the Olympic torch passes through his town on Feb. 1.

Shortly after that, he will make his way to the Fraser Valley, where it will be his turn to take the Olympic flame on Feb. 8.

Carlsen doesn’t mind that he has to make his own way to Mission and he doesn’t mind that he has to find his own accommodations.

“It’s an honour to run with the torch,” he said.

Carlsen plans to make his way down here a few days earlier and stay with family in Chilliwack. But before the

big day, he will find a hotel in Mission to spend the night.

“I don’t know the area well and I don’t want to get lost, or caught up in traffic and be late,” he explained.

An old classmate has already sent him a picture of the route he will run. Carlsen plans to enjoy the moment and jog slowly with the torch in hand down 300 metres of Stave Lake Street at around 6 a.m. Many torch bearers he has spoken with have advised him to enjoy the moment because it will be over before he knows it.

Carlsen plans to savour the moment and stay a little bit longer to get to know the town he is passing the torch through.

“I appreciate where I was a few years ago and where I’m at now” said Carlsen, who believes in living life to the fullest because you don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow.

February 8 is Jack Poole Day in Mission When the Olympic torch passes through town on Feb. 8, Mission will also be remembering a man who promoted the Winter Games and was instrumental in bringing them to B.C. Mission council has declared Feb. 8 as Jack Poole day.

He may have been born and raised in Saskatchewan, but he lived in Mission for many years, said Mayor James Atebe.

“This was his sanctuary. It was his place when he wanted to get away from the busy life,” explained Atebe. “He was a visionary guy who saw movement before anyone else saw it; he’s a man with strong leadership skills.”

Poole was a developer and business leader. He passed away in October last year.

Poole was a volunteer for many years and he made a difference in his community and lead the Olympic movement, Atebe continued.

“He’s one of those guys that are role models in volunteerism, and volunteers build a community.”

In addition to paying tribute to Poole and promoting the Olympics, Atebe also hopes Feb. 8 will also celebrate community spirit and recognize past Olympians from Mission, such as speed skater Eden Donatelli, swimmer Brent Hayden and sit skier Brad Lennea.

We invite everyone to come and celebrate, said Atebe.

Full-day kindergarten is coming to Mission schools in stages.

Starting in September 2010, eight of Mission’s 13 elementary schools will offer full-day kindergarten, and by September 2011 every school will offer the expanded program.

Graham Black, the director of instruction for the Mission Board of Education, explained that the Ministry of Education is funding full-day kindergarten in stages, and will offer funding for only 50 to 60 per cent of the district’s 420 kindergarten students (approximately) to attend full time next year.

Full-day kindergarten is already offered at Deroche, Mission Central and West Heights. Next year it will be expanded to include Albert McMahon, Cherry Hill, Christine Morrison, Dewdney and Silverdale.

The remaining five elementary schools will come on stream in 2011.

Black explained that parents who do not live in the catchment area for a school that offers full-day kindergarten can apply for cross-boundary enrollment into a school that does – provided there is room at that school.

Kindergarten registration begins on Feb. 1, and information can be found on the board’s website at

www.mpsd.ca.

A full day will be roughly 8:30 a.m. to 2:15 p.m., at most schools, with breaks for recess and lunch.

Black said children who attend full-day kindergarten are more likely to have success at school in future years.

“That’s what the research has pointed to for a long time,” he said.

He added that B.C. is not leading the country in this initiative, but following models that have worked well in other provinces.

Black said full-day kindergarten does not mean teachers start with Grade 1 school work earlier.

Rather, they more fully explore the kindergarten curriculum, which balances academic activities with social and emotional development. It teaches children about sharing, develops fine motor skills and explores the alphabet and literature.

“In a half day it’s too rushed,” he said. “In a full day you have more time to fulfill the curriculum.”

He said the Education Ministry is also looking at further expanding early education to include children as young as four and even three years old.

With the move to full-day K, Black says the district will produce a high percentage of kids who are ready to tackle Grade 1.

“They’ll certainly be better prepared,” he said. “I think it’ll be very positive.”

Firefighters see benefit of first career crew Mission’s first four full-time firefighters say response times down dramatically BY

NEIL CORBETT

Public reviews three budgets

BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Firefighters battle a garage in December. They say a quick response kept it from spreading to the main house.

sponse was about 15 minutes behind the firefighters.

“We have these guys at the call, and it’s a great service to the community,” said Fitzpatrick.

Mark Goddard used to work as a mechanic, and volunteered at Station 2 for 10 years before switching careers “to do what I’ve always wanted to do.”

He said a lot of the young men in Mission who aspire to become firemen first volunteer, as he did, and then work in other fields as they try to land a position as a career firefighter. In the past, they always had to leave their home town.

“We would invest all that time and training (120 hours), and then lose them,” pointed out MacLeod.

Now there is a pool of local, trained and qualified people to draw from as the hall recruits full-time firemen – 40 volunteers from Station 1, and 20 from each of the other two halls.

“We’re very confident for the 16 fulltime firefighters,” said Fitzpatrick. “It’s an awesome group of people here.”

Another key advantage to the full-

time fire company is in preparedness.

They are inspecting properties around the district, putting together a plan of attack.

“Some of these facilites we inspect, we’ve never been in before.”

Now when firefighters are paged to many buildings, the firefighter in charge can review a laminated map of the premises that will show power and gas shutoffs, the location of hydrants, any hazardous materials that may be present, whether there are sprinklers in the building, contact information and more.

“We’re that much more prepared,” said the chief. “We’re on top of things, and can give a good service to the community.”

The plan for the city is to hire four more full-time firefighters by July 1, and eventually have 16 providing round-the-clock coverage out of Station 1 on Seventh Avenue.

“Then we’ll have good coverage 24/7, for many years,” said Fitzpatrick.

“This community would be doing quite well.”

Having full-time firefighters on the job in Mission is saving property and already saving lives.

That’s the experience of the first four career firefighters Mission has hired, who have now been on the job four months.

Mission district councils had struggled with the decision of whether to employ full-time firefighters for several years – as do the municipal councils in every little town as it grows up. The guys who have been on the job want to assure them that it is paying dividends.

It’s a simple matter of response time, explains Fire Chief Ian Fitzpatrick.

Now, a crew is at the hall weekdays, ready to respond to fire calls and medical emergencies.

“There were three instances where we had fires in the last three months where five to seven minutes difference meant a fire has not spread,” said Capt.

Blaine Odenbach.

Two of them were fully involved garage fires that were contained, and kept from taking the house.

Odenbach has 21 years of experience, and was in the same recruitment class as co-worker Norm MacLeod.

Mission Public Schools Community Survey

About 30 people crowded inside council chambers Tuesday evening to learn more about the district’s finances and the three tax options being proposed at an informal open house.

Kerri Onken from the finance department said this format has not been tried before. Traditionally, finance director Ken Bjorgaard would make a formal presentation to council at a public meeting, and anyone with concerns, questions or comments could ask them at a microphone.

“The formal presentation doesn’t provide a lot of interaction between the community and council (and staff),” she explained. “This is a more comfortable format.”

She said it allowed people to expand on their questions and receive personal attention.

There will still be a formal presentation by Bjorgaard and residents can ask questions at that time as well. That meeting is scheduled for Feb. 1.

A number of people at the information session said they liked the informal atmosphere.

Mike Diener believes Mission’s taxes are too high and questions why Abbotsford can still keep its taxes low even with the new arena.

The city should be run as someone would run a household, added

Jeannette Smith, saying: “If they can’t afford something, they should cut it.”

The three budget scenarios set out reflect a 5.35 per cent tax increase, a 5.86 per cent tax increase or a 6.88 per cent tax increase.

Different service levels are attached to each scenario and the challenge is to find a balance, said Mission Mayor James Atebe.

He pointed out while it’s easy to be frugal, council must make sure services aren’t being eroded and growth opportunities aren’t being taken away. This would cause more problems in the future.

Hiring a second set of full-time firefighters, which is included in the budgets, makes up 1.87 per cent of the total. By eliminating that item, the numbers are 3.48 per cent, 3.99 per cent and 5.01 per cent.

Fire Chief Ian Fitzpatrick says it’s important for Mission to continue with its plans to create a full time fire department. The first set of four career firefighters, who have been on the job since October are already saving lives and reducing property damage. As a result, this is saving taxpayers money.

Hiring another four firefighters would give the district coverage seven days a week, 12 hours a day instead of the current eight hours a day, five days a week.

The Feb. 1 budget consultation meeting begins at 6 p.m. at city hall.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 2010

OPINION

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

Canada’s time to shine

P

erhaps it’s because our governor general – a Haitian native – so eloquently expressed the grief felt by people around the world. Or maybe it’s a long-needed reawakening of this country’s peacekeeping roots. Either way, Canada’s timely and generous response to the devastating situation in Haiti should fill its citizens with pride.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper pledged assistance and $5 million in immediate emergency aid the same day the 7.0 magnitude earthquake shook the Caribbean nation on Jan. 12. Since then, Canada has shipped 100 tons of supplies to Haiti, including about 22,000 kilograms of medical necessities. As of this week, the country’s total financial commitment sits at $135 million.

Canada’s Disaster Assistance Response Team is already at work, six Griffin helicopters and a Sea King chopper have been sent, and naval frigates are en route.

Hundreds of Canadian Forces troops are now on the ground, with up to 1,000 more being sent this week.

The additional troops will boost the number of Canadian military personnel in Haiti to 2,000. And there are hundreds of volunteer relief workers administering aid.

Here at home, restrictions on Haitian immigrants have been lifted, Haitians temporarily in Canada can now extend their stays, and the government has promised to fast-track Haitian adoptions and immigration applications from Haitians with family in Canada.

The financial support is also pouring in, after Ottawa announced it would match individual donations to registered charities up to $50 million.

On Jan. 25, Canadian officials will meet with Haitian PM Jean-Max Bellerive to discuss the long-term rebuilding goals for Haiti, which experts say will take many years. Harper vows Canada is in for the long haul.

With the 2010 Olympics just a few short weeks away, many of us were getting ready to enjoy seeing Canada shine on the world stage. Who knew it would be so brightly.

A fairy tale of school neglect

R

eports of peace breaking out in the B.C. public school system have been greatly exaggerated.

After signing their first-ever voluntary contract with any B.C. government in 2006, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, in effect the province’s third largest political party, was a relatively calm presence in the 2009 election campaign. Its propaganda effort consisted mainly of transit ads depicting lonely-eyed children neglected in the B.C. Liberals’ under-resourced classrooms.

It’s now clear that the BCTF’s hot war against the B.C. Liberal government hasn’t gone away. It’s turned cold, but it’s no less bitter or costly for that. Backing up those ads about neglected To school kids was a wave of union grievances that may grow this year to a tsunami sweeping through 10,000 or more classrooms.

Arbitrator James Dorsey released a decision on some of those grievances last week, and reports of a big win for the BCTF were also greatly exaggerated by the media. This included my own initial news report, which speculated that the 21 classes Dorsey found out of compliance with the School Act were an indication of hundreds more violations of class size or special needs limits.

The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association is the government’s bargaining agency, responsible for the $5.4 billion B.C. taxpayers will spend on education this year. BCPSEA provided some much-needed corrections and context for news reports of the arbitration, which left the impression that those BCTF ads were right about underfunding and neglect being widespread in B.C. schools.

First, the 21 grievances that were upheld came from a group of 81 selected from more than 1,600 across the province. This means 60 of the sample complaints were dismissed outright.

Of the 21 that were upheld, only two classes were found to have too many students or inadequately supported special m needs students, a situation Dorsey termed “inappropriate for student learning.” The rest were what BCPSEA called “process violations,” such as principals consulting with teachers on class composition as a group rather than individually. This after the affected teachers had agreed to meet as a group.

A polite term for such complaints would be nitpicking.

The biggest BCTF arbitration “wins” were in Coast Mountain school district, which includes Terrace. There the problem is not overcrowding, but rather

keeping classes large enough to be viable. It’s the proliferation of special needs students, defined as those having an individual education plan, that is the problem.

Juggling these students into manageable classes as they show up at school each fall is a daunting task for even a robust urban school district. In Coast Mountain, it took until the end of October to get classes sorted out, a month later than the Sept. 30 deadline specified in the government’s legislation.

The remedy for this supposed failure was to give one Coast Mountain teacher nine extra paid days off and others six days off. Substitute teachers will now have to be brought in to manage these special needs students and their classmates, while these teachers add more days off to the months of down-time their work schedule already provides.

So in summary, we have two substantial problems out of 81 union grievances, after weeks of argument by two lawyers for the union and two more for the employer, appearing before another lawyer. This sample was taken from grievances over 1,622 classes in 157 schools across B.C. Those 1,600-odd grievances, filed for the 2006-07 and 2007-08 years, are just a warmup for the BCTF. They expect as many as 10,000 more this year, escalating a senseless power struggle over education that shows no sign of abating. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 2010

Council waters down environmental bylaw Editor, The Record; On Jan. 18, 2010, Mission Council voted unanimously to vary their Streamside Protection Regulation (SPR) Bylaw on request of Genstar Development Corporation.

The SPR Bylaw would have required that a setback of 30M from the high water mark of Silvermere Lake be protected, making this land unavailable for development.

Instead of upholding the bylaw, council voted to allow the use of the Riparian Area

Regulation (RAR) method to determine the minimum setback required under federal and provincial legislation.

They made this decision despite staff stating RAR would likely result in reducing the protected areas in half to 15M. Silvermere is situated in the middle of the Stave River where up to half a million wild salmon return each year to spawn. The lower Stave River is the single largest spawning concentrations of salmon along the Pacific Coast

of North America already in direct proximity to an urban environment.

The devastating environmental impact of constructing a major road to Silvermere Island through a wetland area, clearing vegetation home to species at risk to build 100-plus houses, as well as the ongoing impacts of human occupation in this sensitive area, were described by senior scientist Dr. Rosenau as “one of the most environmentally damaging development projects that (he) had occasion to

review” (MWLAP Sept.2003).

Why then is Mission council even considering development of this priceless jewel of our community?

Tracy Lyster, Chair CAUSS, Mission Editor’s note: Council has decided to allow the developer to research the use of the RAR method to determine setbacks, but has not yet permitted this change.

Churches deserve a tax exemption Editor, The Record; I am writing in response to Robert Rock’s complaints that churches do not pay property taxes, not to mention his continuous griping about our elected officials.

I admire politicians for their willingness to make the tough, often unpopular decisions that need to be made, and then be harshly criticized by the media and folks like Rock.

It has been pointed out to Rock before that churches are funded by good people who hopefully have paid up their income and property taxes. Why doesn’t he crusade against the individuals who are tax dodgers and that are cheating in many other ways?

Our taxes help provide fitness centres, schools and hospitals

Signs of global warming evident Editor, The Record; Environment Canada’s list of the “top ten” weather stories for 2009 contains some alarming examples of how rapidly and drastically Canada’s climate is changing.

As Environment Canada states, there was nothing “normal” about Canada’s weather in 2009. Seasons were out of whack across the country and new records or near records were set in every region.

With the exception of British Columbia, where we had an unusually long and hot summer, all other provinces experienced an unusually cold summer.

In Ontario it was so cold that air conditioners sat silent for much of the summer leading to a 45 per cent drop in the amount of carbon-emitting

fossil fuels being burned by Ontario’s electricity producers; a grim ‘silver lining’ to an eye-opening story.

In B.C. the unusually hot, dry conditions we experienced led to the most expensive and wide-spread fire season on record with fire-fighting costs reaching nearly $400 million.

Sockeye salmon returning to the Fraser River began showing signs of severe stress and premature death because of near-record water temperatures.

The earth’s surprisingly thin layer of atmosphere, which we all depend upon for survival, cannot continue to absorb the amounts of CO2 we’ve been releasing into it. We can no longer ignore the consequences of our ravenous energy consumption, and we must switch as fast as we can to clean,

MISSION

carbonless alternative forms of energy that don’t push the planet to protest our negligent ways by manifesting extreme weather.

It speaks volumes that the Vancouver area, which typically experiences a hot day at or above 30°C once every five years on average, experienced four days like this in 2009 complete with smog warnings and oppressive humidity.

On July 29, Vancouver set an alltime high of 33.8C and then proceeded to break that record the very next day by topping 34.4C. That same day, Victoria reached an unbelievable 35C. I can only wonder what this year will have in store for us.

Yolanda Lora Vilchis Surrey

(we do still have one in Mission, and I do agree with the decision to shorten ward hours. We still have 911 and paramedics for serious cases.)

Homeless shelters, recovery houses, youth clubs, etc. etc. are provided for communities by donations and offerings apart from taxes. Many churches have a special benevolent offering which provides food hampers and vouchers for needy people.

I would not want to insult your intelligence either Robert, but give your head a shake – do you really think it would be wise to take extra money from these believers in God, who do good with their money, and put it in the hands of governments?

Tom Morrison Mission

Use Haitian relief money wisely Editor, The Record; To those who are so generous with our tax dollars, why did you not give each of the arriving Hatians $75 credit to be spent at the local MCC instead of $200 at a department store?

I do most of my clothes shopping at thrifts stores as I can get some brand name quality items for a fraction of what new would cost. MCC is sending so much support to Haiti.

I wonder where all this money

is coming from for the millions in aid, as we were told that we had to do some major belt tightening as there was no more money for us and our needs, heath care, child care, senior care etc. Now we are being asked to dig deep to send to Haiti.

Harper, your turn to write a big personal cheque. Please don’t try and claim it on your expense account.

On Jan. 11 arbitrator James Dorsey decided that 21 teachers in districts in Vancouver, Saanich, Qualicum and Coast Mountain school districts would get time off ranging from a day to nine days as compensation.

The teachers all had more than 30 students in their classrooms, or more than

three special needs students.

The BC Teachers’ Federation is now hoping that this ruling can be applied to thousands of similar grievances from across the province.

Mission Teachers’ Union president Maria Hedderson said numerous local grievances have been forwarded to the BCTF, to be handled at a provincial level.

But she did give credit to the local administrators of the Mission Board of Education.

“They’ve worked really hard to keep the class sizes in line,” she said. “But at the high school level there are many (over 30).”

She said class composition is a challenging issue, where teachers may have to deal with five or even six special needs students.

“And you have shop classes over the limit, and it’s unsafe to teach them,” she added.

In light of the Dorsey decision, many local teachers called their the Mission Teachers’ Union.

“They don’t want to be left out – especially those struggling with high numbers,” she said.

Mission secretary treasurer Roy Daykin said the local board has not received the grievances, and can not speak to their meits. He noted the Dorsey decision accepted only 21 of 81 grievances submitted by the BCTF, and all but two of those were over procedural issues.

The current provincial government restricted teachers’ rights to negotiate class size as a bargaining issue, and in 2006 passed Bill 33 to govern class sizes, limiting them to 30 students in Grades 4-12. Teacher approval is required for classes over 30 students in Grades four to seven. Classes can exceed the maximum at the high school level if the superintendent and principal agree that education is not compromised.

The BCTF has complained that the province has not provided enough funding for districts to implement the class size legislation.

“Students end up losing out when you have high numbers in a class,” said Hedderson. “Teachers are doing the job to the best of their abilities, but they’re getting very tired and very frustrated.”

Breast cancer support group now available in Mission There is a new support group available in Mission for breast cancer survivors, and those who are still going through it.

The first meeting happened earlier this month and people show up to learn about the disease and support one another, said Margaret Sorowski, one of the two facilitators.

The facilitators are trained by the Canadian Cancer Society and they are both volunteers.

Sorowski, who also runs a fitting shop called Think in Pink.

There is a need for a support group here, said Sorowski, adding there isn’t one in Chilliwack or Abbotsford.

“A lot of my clients ask if there is one because they want the support,” she explained.

Once the group is better established, there will be guest speakers.

The goal is to enhance social and emotional support by providing information and practical suggestions for dealing with cancer and the side effects of treatments.

The meetings take place the second Tuesday of every month from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Anyone interested in attending a meeting should call the Canadian Cancer Society at 604-820-3166 for the location. For more information visit www. cancer.ca.

B.C. begins domestic violence overhaul TOM FLETCHER

Black Press

The B.C. government is setting up a domestic violence unit in the Victoria region and examining ways to improve coordination and prevention across the province.

Public Safety Minister Kash Heed announced the project Monday, in response to calls for reform following the murder-suicide of a family in Oak Bay in September 2007. A coroner’s inquest and a review by B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth found a

patchwork of responses to escalating violence that failed to protect family members.

Peter Lee was released on bail from a previous assault incident with his estranged wife Sunny Park when he broke into the family home in September of 2007. He stabbed Park to death, along with their six-year-old son Christian Lee and Park’s parents, then killed himself with the same knife.

Children’s representative Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond reviewed the case from the child’s perspective, and issued a damning report last

fall f about government m agencies’ inability a to talk to each other. o She noted that in the t six weeks prior to the t murders, the famHEED ily i had contact with two municipal police departments, an RCMP detachment, social workers, medical staff, Crown prosecutors, two therapists and a variety of lawyers.

“If the many professionals involved in Christian’s life had the benefit of all available information,

a clear picture would have emerged that this boy and his mother were in grave danger without an adequate safety plan,” Turpel-Lafond said.

The B.C. Coroners Service will set up a death review panel in March to examine domestic violence cases and recommend ways to prevent future crimes.

Heed appointed a task force of senior officials from the ministries dealing with criminal justice, social services and child welfare, with instructions to report back to him in 60 days on steps that can be taken province-wide.

NDP public safety critic Mike Farnworth said the announcement looks like “window dressing,” since police are not yet on side and no significant funding was announced. The government’s books still show a cut of $1.2 million coming to B.C.’s network of 63 transition houses for women and children fleeing abusive relationships, he said.

“What really concerns me is that this government’s very big on making announcements and very poor on follow-through, and very poor on funding,” Farnworth said.

t first, she thought it would be a great way to commute to work and save gas. Now, she does it mainly for fun.

Teresa Dionne, 38, is among the growing number of women who have taken up motorcycling and discovered it’s

more than just a means of transportation.

“I just like the power and the openness and the freedom. You feel youthful and sexy – and it’s fast!” she said.

The popularity of women and motorcycles is a trend that’s being noticed.

Lara Gerrits, who is handling media relations for the Vancouver Motorcycle Show running

this week at Tradex (see sidebar), said organizers introduced She Rides Night two years ago to cater to female riders and those interested in learning.

“Women riders are one of the fastest growing markets,” she said.

Gerrits said Canadian statistics are not available, but the American Motorcyclist Association reports that women now

account for 12.6 per cent of all motorcycle and scooter riders – a 29 per cent increase since 2003.

Harley-Davidson reports that four per cent of their motorcycles were purchased by women in 1990. In 2007, that figure had risen to 12 per cent.

Kevin Johnson said he has noticed more women taking riding lessons in the 10 years he has

Teresa Dionne of Mission, seen here at Stave Lake, learned to ride a motorcycle a year ago and loves it.

owned V-Twin Motorcycle School, which operates in Abbotsford, Mission and the Okanagan.

He said most have never before been on a motorcycle and many have taken up the hobby because their spouses ride and they want to join in. In many cases, couples take the course together.

“Times are changing.

People aren’t putting their feet up on their sofa anymore when their kids are grown up.”

Johnson said the average age of people taking the course is mid-40s

– an age when people have more disposable income, and when their kids have either moved out or are old enough to be left on their own.

“Generally, it’s your middle-class family and they’ve got a couple of bikes in the garage,” Johnson said.

Dionne is single, but she took up riding a year ago, thinking it would be a cheaper way to commute from Mission to her job exercising race horses in Aldergrove.

What she didn’t count on was how much fun it would be. In addition to commuting to work on

her red-and-black 750 Honda Magna, she went on several weekend rides last summer.

She also joined a motorcycle club and went on a couple of group trips. Dionne’s sister and brother-in-law also learned last year, and she often goes out with them.

Now, it’s more about how being on a motorcycle makes her feel than whether it’s a practical mode of transportation.

“It brings out a whole new confidence: ‘Look!

I’m controlling this beast!’ “ she said.

Vancouver Motorcycle show at Tradex The Vancouver Motorcycle Show opens today (Thursday) at Tradex in Abbotsford, and is one of the facility’s biggest draws of the year.

Last year’s event attracted more than 35,000 people – compared to 26,000 guests for another popular event, the West Coast Women’s Show – and almost 200 exhibitors.

The show runs through Sunday. Fea-

tured events are Vintage Rider Night (Thursday) and She Rides Night on Saturday.

Show hours are 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday; 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $12 for adults, $8 for youth (ages six to 15) and free for kids under six. For more information, visit vancouvermotorcycleshow.com

Among many other exciting things, the BUS is already traveling around the community bringing literacy resources and programming to outlying parts of Mission.

Inside Ecole Mission Central, there will be storytelling all day by the Mission Community Library staff, books to

buy and information tables from groups such as Mission Literacy in Motion, Usborne Books, Discovery Toys, Strong Start and Mission Community Services.

The Riot of Reading runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Ecole Central Mission School, 7466 Welton St., Jan. 30.

Going boxing with Grandma Nana takes little Katie to the Mission City Boxing Club for their workouts BY

NEIL CORBETT

Missioon Record

Things granddaughter does with Nana: picking blackberries for jam, making cookies, playing Yahtzee and – of course – working the heavy bag.

Terry Cole raised a few eyebrows when she joined the Mission City Boxing Club about six months ago, and now she’s a regular there with her nine-year-old granddaughter Katie Burnie.

They hadn’t seen a grandmother at the local club before.

“This is a first,” said Dale Gatin, who runs the club. “When she first came it was a little bit surprising, but right away you could tell she had that work ethic.”

The grandmother skips, works a heavy bag and does burpees right along with the men and boys of the club.

“She keeps up with everybody,” said Gatin.

“It’s great. She works really hard, she’s dedicated, and I’m very

impressed with her conditioning.”

For Cole, it was all about the workout.

“I used to be a runner – I was quite addicted – but my knees couldn’t take in anymore,” she said.

She wanted a new challenge, tried a boxing class at Contenders in Vancouver, and got hooked on the sport.

Cole has lived in Mission since 1995, but worked in Vancouver.

When her employment situation changed, she switched from the Vancouver club to the local one about six months ago.

Little Katie also took to the gym right away.

“She loves it,” said Cole. “She’s like me – it takes a little while to get her motivated, but once she’s down there she’s good.”

There are lots of other kids working out at the club, and there is competition between them.

“Those kids are tough – the exercises they do are hard,” she said.

Is boxing a good pastime for little girls?

“Its like any sport, it’s good for you,” answers grandma.

After a lot of training, it was a natural evolution for Cole to get into the ring. She loves to spar.

“To really be a boxer you have to be able to block and evade,” she said. “It’s very cool, depending on the person you’re sparring with.”

Gatin said there hasn’t been a big change in the atmosphere at the gym with a grandmother joining – on a normal night, the Mission club doesn’t exactly resemble a scene out of a Rocky movie.

The club does indeed have competitive boxers who train in Olympic style, and will be sending three young men to the nationals next month. But they also have people who just come for the workout, and will never have a fight.

“We have a gym that’s very family oriented,” said Gatin. “It’s for con-

ditioning or keeping in shape.”

That’s what has Cole hooked.

“Boxing is something everyone should try, the classes are wonderful,” she said. “I’d like to see more women give it a try.”

New sparring partners, perhaps? She laughs.

“Someone who knows less than me – that would be good.”

Anyone interested in the club can see their website at www.missionboxing.com, or call Gatin at 604-826-1455.

Roadrunners keep rolling Since their host tournament championship on Jan. 9, the Mission Roadrunners senior girls basketball team has kept rolling.

The second-ranked squad in B.C. played crosstown rival Hatzic secondary on Jan. 12, beating them 85-15.

The Roadrunners next played the Titans of Samuel Robertson Tech on Jan. 14, and won 55-48. Chelsea

Reist was the top scorer in that game with 17, Jasmine Wells scored 12 and Jess Daigneault 10.

Tuesday they blasted Thomas Haney 100-35. Reist again led the attack with 30 points, while Theresa Jacobs had 17, Daigneault 18 and Ravel Gill 15.

Thursday (tonight) is their last home game against the Garibaldi Rebels. It is their grad game where they celebrate graduating players. Tipoff is at 6:30 p.m.

Kodiak makes Junior B history

KALEIGH FRATKIN

Kaleigh Fratkin, 17, became the first female player to suit up for a game in the 44-year history of the Pacific International Junior Hockey League as the Aldergrove Kodiaks defeated the Ridge Meadows Flames 1-0 in a shootout.

Fratkin previously made headlines as the first girl to play in the B.C. Major Midget league, for the top 15- to 17-year-old players in the province, and came close to cracking the Canadian women’s hockey roster for the 2010 Olympic Games.

Fratkin, an affiliate player call-up, didn’t look out of place playing with young men, said Flames coach Tavis Eaton. Her quick puck movement and smooth skating ability, not her gender, was what stood out to Eaton.

“She’s a phenomenal skater, one of the best out there,” he said. “She works hard and she’s

put on the ice in an important 0-0 game near the end of regulation and in overtime.

Harkins admitted his staff was initially concerned with how Fratkin would cope with the fast-paced, hard-hitting world of junior B hockey.

“But she’s just so quick she can avoid most contact,” he added.

In a game with a “playoff-like feel,” Harkins said, “she was great all-around. We definitely will be playing her again in the future.

I thought she was one of our best defencemen on the night.”

Barring injury, Harkins thinks Fratkin should be a virtual lock for the Canadian women’s hockey team that will compete at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

“We’ll be seeing her on Team Canada in the future,” he said.

The Mission Icebreakers suffered a pair of ugly weekend losses, dropping Saturday night’s game against the North Delta Devils 8-1, and then being doubled by the Delta Ice Hawks in a 6-3 loss on Sunday on home ice.

The Devils are a PIJHL power, with only five losses this season in 33 outings. But the Ice Hawks are a middling team with an 18-17 record.

Sunday afternoon’s scorers were Colin Wandfluh, Brett Orser and Joel Venema.

Saturday’s lone marker was tallied by Nathan Law. This weekend the Icebreakers begin action on Friday evening at MSA Arena, where they take on the rival Abbotsford Pilots and hope to get back in the win column.

The puck drops at 7:30 p.m.

On Sunday they will host the Port Moody Black Panthers, at 3:30 p.m. at the Leisure Centre

not afraid of physical play.”

That rung true when the five-foot-seven, 150-pound defender absorbed a thunderous check into the boards in the first period. It was her first shift.

“As I told my players, don’t treat her like a girl, treat her like a player,” Eaton said.

That has been Fratkin’s refrain since she first started playing with the midget boys in 2009.

“She wants to play at this level and compete with these guys,” echoed Kodiak’s head coach Rick Harkins. “They banged her in the first shift, but she dished out a few of her own checks, too.”

Fratkin responded positively after being hit. Despite the check and recording zero points in the game Harkins said she played solid defensively, earning enough trust to be

Inquiry proposes paramedic options Privatizing B.C.’s ambulance service or combining ambulance and fire departments in some communities are among the options being considered by the provincial government to solve an impasse in labour relations.

After a contract extension with a three per cent raise was imposed on striking paramedics in November, Labour Minister Murray Coell appointed former deputy finance minister Chris Trumpy to

“There are some interesting options there that we’re going to have an opportunity to discuss over the next couple of months,” Coell said Tuesday.

Premier Gordon Campbell said the government needs to look at all the options available for delivering paramedic service that work for employees and provide the best service for the public.

In his report, Trumpy notes that some paramedics did participate despite the union’s refusal. He acknowledges that the quality of ambulance service varies widely between urban areas with fulltime paramedics and rural and remote regions, where there isn’t enough work for full-time service, and on-call and part-time paramedics provide skeleton service at lower pay rates.

Grow ops in the district

T

here has been an increase in the number of residential marijuana grow operations (MGOs) in BC municipalities over the years.

In May of 2006, the Province of British Columbia amended the Safety Standards Act to allow local governments to request electrical consumption information from BC Hydro. Excessive hydro consumption is often an indicator of a potential electrical fire hazard and is also a common indicator of a residential MGO. The information can then be used by municipalities to proactively deal with any electrical safety risk as well as other risks identified through the inspection process.

This is the foundation upon which a municipal public safety inspection team (PSIT) in Mission operates.

The District of Mission adopted a Controlled Substance Property Bylaw which sets out the framework under which it’s public safety inspection team operates.

The PSIT in Mission consists of a fire inspector, building inspector and electrician, supported by two office staff. Once the hydro consumption data has been obtained properties with potential electrical safety concerns are identified. Research of municipal and provincial records is conducted to ascertain any legitimate explanation for the excessive hydro use. If no information is found which would account for the high consumption, the registered owner and tenant where applicable, are contacted by PSIT and a public safety inspection is scheduled.

During a public safety inspection, any electrical system deficiencies are noted as well as any contravention of

the Building Code, Fire Services Act or other applicable legislation related to public safety.

The inspectors must also determine whether or not the property was used as a “controlled substance property” (i.e. a MGO or illegal drug lab) pursuant to the bylaw.

Where the inspectors determine that a property was used as

a controlled substance property an inspection fee of $4,900 plus and administration fee of $300 is charged.

Inspectors have the authority to place a “Do Not Occupy” order on the property which prohibits persons from residing in the dwelling.

Inspectors may also request that BC Hydro disconnect power to the

property where, in the inspectors’ opinion, an imminent fire or safety hazard exists.

The owner will be required to remediate any deficiencies noted as a result of the inspection and to call for a final inspection to show that the required work has been completed and that the property has been fully remediated.

District of Mission Council wishes to invite the public to attend open meetings and regular meetings of Council.

The following meetings are scheduled for the weeks of January 21, 2010 to February 4, 2010.

Litter detracts from natural beauty Few Mission residents would deny that we are fortunate to live in one of the most beautiful communities in British Columbia.

Sadly, nothing detracts from this natural beauty more than the disposal of litter found every day on our streets.

PAY IT

It is a shame that a small number of people seem determined to spoil everyone’s view of Mission. Such careless and immature actions show a lack of respect for everyone who lives here, or visits here.

Please, if you are tempted to throw lit-

ter onto a street, think again and dispose of it properly. Carry a bag in the car for your garbage, or use the garbage cans provided throughout the community instead of just tossing it away.

Sometimes the winds pick up your newspaper and spread the paper throughout your subdivision.

Sometimes a bird or animal might get into your garbage and spread the waste around.

Use garbage cans that close securely to keep these pests out of your garbage. Take time to pick up the litter you see around your house and dispose of it properly. If all of us work together we can make a difference.

Take pride in your community. Let its beauty shine though.

YOU ARE INVITED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR COMMUNITY!

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.

fter a short winter break back east, Carly Rae Jepsen can’t wait to start work again.

Actually, for the singer/songwriter from Mission, playing music isn’t like work at all.

She’s happy to just do it.

“I feel rejuvenated,” she told The Record last week, shortly after she returned home.

The young songstress was in Montreal, simply visiting the city and seeing the sites.

“I’ve only been there a day at a time, or for tours,” she explained. “I have some friends there and I just wanted to see Quebec in its snow, winter state.”

It was nice to stay in different parts of Canada, but now it’s back to making music.

Jepsen has a busy few months ahead of her.

She’s doing concerts in Vancouver and Mission this week, and next month, she will start recording her next album.

Jepsen and her band will be rocking in her hometown on the same stage she grew up on this Saturday.

“I can’t wait,” she beamed. “I’ve been telling the guys (in the band) about Mission.”

Her younger sister still attends Heritage Park Secondary, and she is excited to be on stage at the Clarke Theatre again.

Jepsen was a part of the popular Show Choir at Heritage, and in Gr. 11, she took on the lead role as Sandra in the musical Grease.

While Jepsen is no stranger to the Clarke stage, this is the first time she will be per-

forming with her band on a tour. She admits she’s a little bit more nervous performing here than at other venues.

“It’s pretty crazy to be in Mission,” she explained. “I’ll see so many familiar faces.”

Before she hits the stage, Jepsen hopes to be in town early and visit with friends and family before the show.

Jepsen will be singing mostly from her debut album Tug of War, which was released in 2008, and she will be giving fans a preview of her music in the next album.

Tug of War is up for best song of the year in the Canadian Radio Music Awards, which will be presented on March 12 in Toronto. It’s up against bands like Nickelback and Theory of a Deadman. Tug of War was written by Jepsen and Ryan Stewart.

Last week the video for Jespsen’s fourth single from the album, Sour Candy, was listed on the top three of the MuchMusic countdown. It features a duet with Josh Ramsay of Marianas Trench with whom she has just finished a national tour.

Jepsen and her band will be performing at the Clarke Theatre on Jan. 23. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are now on sale at all Ticketmaster outlets for $15 plus service chatge, or $20 at the door.

For more information visit www.rockitboy. com.

• Also playing on stage with Carly Rae Jepsen are Michael Bernard Fitzgerald and A Frosty Comet, which also features another local musician, Casey Keith Bruinink, who plays bass and vocals.

Mission singer/songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen will be serenading local fans with tunes from Tug of War this Saturday at the Clarke Theatre.

AROUND THE Bright Star will be next film WORLD IN shining for Reel on the River The second Reel on the River movie will be playing at SilverCity on Jan. 25.

Bright Star is a tragic love story based on the life of the poet John Keats.

It will be followed by Unmistaken Child, an Israeli documentary about one Tibetan’s search for a spiritual leader, on Feb. 1 The series will then take a short break and resume on March 1 with the British football drama The Damned United. The critics say you don’t have to be a sports fan to love this film.

The fifth film in the series on March 15 in an Indo-Canadian comedy set in New Delhi titled Cooking with Stella.

ARE YOU A SATISFIED CUSTOMER?

One of the prime requirements for any successful business are satisfied customers. Those in the business world are keenly aware that a satisfied customer will most likely return to them in the future, and that they will recommend their products and services to others. To be a satisfied satisfied customer, we need to be treated fairly and honestly, and in a civilized manner; we do not like being taken advantage of, cheated or ridiculed in any way. Likewise, on a personal level, we should also strive to have satisfied customers. Everyone we come in contact with is somewhat of a customer and we should be selling our friendship, goodwill and cheerfulness. The Bible tells us to treat others as we want them to treat us, and when dealing with others this “Golden Rule” is necessary for us to have and keep enjoyable relationships.

Dissension in one’s family, or in the workplace, or with anyone we deal with, is contrary to the way our Lord wants us to live our lives. And although it is not always easy to reflect God’s goodwill to others, when we are cordial to others, we receive enjoyment and we are blessed by extending God’s love.

It depicts a young Canadian diplomat’s family arriving in India to take up a new posting.

Also survived by 8 loving Grandchildren; (Marty & Jen) Shaynna Bradley, Cody (Darcy & Karen) Brittany, Josh, Andrew ,Wesley (Jason & Tracy) Chandra.

Joe was a career truck driver always on the road all over North America, where he was in his element. He also loved to be with his wife and dog driving down the highway.
