PSIT inspections halted for one month BY CAROL AUN

”

Mission Record

Mission’s Public Safety Inspection Team operations have been deferred for at least a month, pending a program review, except for cases brought forward by RCMP. Council also asked staff to hold current cases already charged the $5,200 inspection fee until after the review. The PSIT inquiry will examine team member qualifications, public relations training and the successes and failures of the program. Council unanimously agreed on these actions after hearing from angry and vocal residents Monday evening. Coun. Jenny Stevens brought the issue forward after hearing resi-

dents’ concerns. More than 100 people packed council chambers and there was overflow seating just outside the doors Jan. 24. The issue and question period were moved up in the agenda after it was clear the crowd wouldn’t settle down and council would not be able to conduct regular business without interruptions. A couple of people voluntarily left

after several outbursts and one gentleman was asked to leave after interrupting proceedings for an hour. Stevens originally asked for PSIT operations to be suspended, but that was voted down 3-3 because the wording would involve legal and personnel issues; both matters, some councillors argued, should be dealt with in a closed meeting. The motion to review it in-camera was

also defeated 3-3. Council took a rare five-minute recess after the votes to discuss the matter with staff and returned with a new motion to defer. “This will give us the opportunity to ask the questions we need to ask,” said Mayor James Atebe. “The bylaw needs a total review. We need to balance civil liberties and protect neighbourhoods.” It also allows the community’s ire to cool and give everyone time to breathe, added Coun. Danny Plecas. Council initially supported the bylaw in 2006 after listening to community concerns and now we’re hearing from the community again, said Coun. Paul Horn. Speakers used question period to

challenge council’s trust, share their experiences and speak about the potential class action lawsuit. A man named Joel apologized for being rude early on in the meeting and told council, “It’s not your fault, but it’s for you to repair. People in charge of inspections, I think See COUNCILLOR Page 3

The number of homeowners being charged the $5,200 inspection fee from the district’s Public Safety Inspection Team (PSIT) has decreased. “The team is doing a good job,” said Mission Fire Chief Ian Fitzpatrick. He knows there are different opinions when it comes to the district’s inspection team, but he believes it’s helping the community and it should continue in one form or another. The team is made up of a building inspector, fire inspector, and electrician. One police officer also attends the inspections to keep the peace if needed, but remains off the property. Both the building and fire inspectors are district employees hired for the team while the electrician is a contractor. The goal was to inspect four properties a week when PSIT was first established in the fall of 2008, and that target remains the same today. The team doesn’t generate any revenue for the district and the $5,200 fee homeowners are charged is the program’s only funding source. The fee is based on the assumption 50 per cent of properties visited will be found in violation of the controlled substance property bylaw and charged. The bylaw was created to address concerns regarding clandestine drug labs and marijuana grow operations in the community, allowing the district to penalize property owners whose homes are found to be altered to produce illegal drugs, like marijuana and meth. In 2008, from September to December, the team conducted 32 inspections and found 24 homes were in violation of the district’s controlled substance property bylaw. There were also a few homes that had some indicators, but not enough for the team to come to a conclusive finding, said Fitzpatrick, noting all three team members must

agree there is a bylaw infraction before the fee is levied. If the finding is inconclusive, the fee is not charged. Approximately 175 homes were inspected in 2009, and about 80 were charged the inspection fee. Close to 40 were inconclusive and there were a dozen medical marijuana grow operations licensed by Health Canada. The federal government issues licences, but doesn’t let the municipalities know about them, said Fitzpatrick. Local governments are only aware of them when neighbours make complaints to the district or police. In 2010, 180 inspections were conducted and 44 inspection fees charged; 35 were inconclusive, and nine were medical grow ops. A number of homes also had legitimate uses for high hydro consumption that the team’s research did not reveal and some had faulty meters. The average home uses less than 50 kwh/day, but homes are only flagged if they exceed 93. “We get the data from BC Hydro every two months,” said Fitzpatrick. The team reviews the data and researches the property to determine if there is a reason for the high readings. The addresses are also sent to the RCMP to make sure they’re not ones the police are investigating. Inspection notices are posted by the fire inspector and building inspector and if the property owner doesn’t call to make an appointment, the team returns the next day. If nobody is home, or if the team is refused entry, its members will apply for an entry warrant. “People have the right to refuse entry,” explained Fitzpatrick. But PSIT members have a job to do too. The program has evolved in other communities, like Abbotsford, Coquitlam, and Surrey, said Fitzpatrick. “Things change and we always review things on an ongoing basis.”

Inspection angers homeowner Only electrician invited in for home inspection BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Margaret Hunt faced two inspections from Mission’s Public Safety Team (PSIT) in as many years. The team had visited her a year ago at her home on Richards Avenue and she was prepared to meet them again last Wednesday at her Cardinal Street property. Hunt has lived in Mission for 17 years and owns three properties with her husband. She raised her children here, volunteered at their schools and coached baseball for years. She considers herself a good citizen who has given back to the community. When she received a notice of inspection for excessive hydro use at her Richards Avenue home last year, she willingly let the inspectors in and showed them around because she knew they wouldn’t find anything illegal. The electrician examined the electrical panel and determined the high hydro use in the 50-year-old house was justified, but the other two inspectors were not convinced. They probed closets, and all the nooks and crannies. Hunt said they were rude, intrusive and she felt violated. The search moved to the property outbuildings. There was no power to the shed where her husband kept half a dozen old car frames. Inspectors spent two hours shining their flashlights into each of the empty vehicles and even raked the dirt floor in their search. Hunt stood outside with the electrician and her anger began to build. The inspection didn’t uncover a marijuana grow operation, and Hunt wasn’t charged the $5,200 fee, but they wanted her to put up a guard rail on the property and fix a broken stair. And before the team left, one of them said they would be back if she didn’t reduce her power consumption. Hunt didn’t like the threat. She faced questions from her neighbours. What were the police doing parked at the end of your driveway? Why were inspectors in your home? The perception that Hunt and her family were doing something illegal had already travelled along the street.

Hunt had always paid her hydro bills and it was none of the district’s business how much power she was buying, she said. She spoke with others in the community who have gone through a similar experience, and had researched the district’s purpose behind PSIT. She called the number on the notice to confirm the purpose of the second inspection was to look for electrical faults to explain the high power consumption. When the police officer and the PSIT team pulled up, Hunt walked out to meet them. The Mountie remained in his vehicle, and the three inspectors approached. As calm as she could, Hunt said she was only allowing the electrician to come onto her property. The inspectors protested and told her they work as a team for safety purposes. “It’s an electrical inspection,” Hunt shot back and suggested the police officer accompany the electrician instead. Without an entry warrant, the inspectors didn’t have a choice. They

moved off the property, but stayed nearby until the electrician, who worked for a private contractor, was finished. Hunt showed him the small barn with a heat lamp where chickens are kept on one side and goats on the other. She also opened up the small, dilapidated shack where there was no power and showed him the hydro meter before bringing him inside the house. She explained that her daughter put curtains up in the doorways and clear plastic sheeting on the windows to try to stop the heat from escaping from the old home, which

they’re taking it personally and they’re dragging you down ... I think the inspectors have to be closely watched. Everyone I have talked to has been bullied.” In some cases, there isn’t even proof of a grow op but the homeowners are disrespected, he added. “My $5,200 is in your coffers,” said Brian Fairfax, who remortgaged his house to pay the fine. “I want a criteria you use to hire people that come around. The ones that came to my house were rude and condescending. If they represent Mission, you

had only single-paned windows. The electrician examined each wire in the electrical panel and concluded there was no harm done to the conductor or busbar, but talked to Hunt about minor issues, such as a missing conductor, discrepancies in the labelling and some odd-looking work. He suggested she engage a licensed electrician to address the problems. He also recommended the wires in the barn be examined. Since Hunt’s daughter moved into the house about a year ago, they have been consistently consuming electricity at a rate of more than 120 kwh/day.

should be ashamed.” Speakers complained their human rights were violated and were and charged a hefty fine without an opportunity to prove their innocence or challenge PSIT’s findings. “What’s the point of delegations to council if not one fee has been overturned?” asked Len Gratto. “You took my children away from me,” said an emotional Trish Banfield, whose home was inspected two years ago. Inspectors only found a gas pipe missing a cap and five missing electrical covers, she charged. Because of those findings, a do not occupy order was placed on her home and her children were not

The average home consumes less than 50 kwh/day, but he noted older houses with single-paned windows could use closer to 100 kwh/day. However, he also warned house fire risks increase 25 per cent if a home uses more than 95 kwh/day. Since Hunt is in that category, he advised all smoke detectors and fire extinguishers be kept up to date. Before leaving, the electrician said Hunt would be receiving a letter from the district confirming an inspection had been performed, but she would not be charged the inspection fee. “The electrician did his job and left,” said Hunt, feeling victorious.

allowed to stay with her. In the end it appeared council was surprised at what they heard. Coun. Heather Stewart said she knows one person who had offered a similar complaint, and now she’s heard that multiply. “The law had too much power in one place,” she said. “Power can corrupt and we need safeguards.” Horn also offered an apology to people negatively affected by the bylaw. “Some people are hurt and I am sorry ... It was never the intention to hurt people. We need to bring [the bylaw] back in line and if we can’t do it, we should scrap it and move on.”

Information from missing girl’s case leads to arrests BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

A local family is hoping the arrest of a man in connection with a Surrey murder might shed some light on the disappearance of a Mission teen. According to Division F spokesman Sgt. Paul Dawson, the investigation into Katelyn Noble’s disappearance uncovered information that Saskatchewan Mounties sent to their B.C. counterparts which resulted in arrests in the death of Surrey’s Amanpreet Bahia. Katelynn, 15, went missing in Radisson, Sask. in August 2007,

and one of the last people to see her alive was Eduard Baranec, said the girl’s mother, Leona. Baranec was arrested Friday and faces charges, along with two other men, in Bahia’s death. Dawson said RCMP are “aware of the connection between Mr. Baranec” and the missing teen but would not elaborate as its investigation is ongoing. Regina Mounties visited Leona Saturday night at her Mission home letting her know about Baranec’s arrest. The girl was born and raised in Mission and attended Christine Morrison Elementary School and Cedar Valley Alternate.

She dropped out of school and at 14 years old made her way to Saskatchewan with her 35-year-old boyfriend, Greg Laviolette. Leona said Katelyn and her boyfriend had had a fight after he saw Katelyn “making out” with Baranec. Laviolette and Baranec began arguing and Katelyn took off towards the highway. Her boyfriend went looking for her, said Leona, and a few days later he called the Mission woman asking if Katelyn had made it home. Leona said no and the search began. “I’m putting all my faith in [the RCMP],” she said.

Durieu parents packed the small, rural elementary school gym Wednesday night to explain to school board politicians why the site should remain open. The public meeting saw several well-worded presentations from parents combined with heart-felt pleas to give the school a chance to succeed. And one of the key ways the board of trustees could do that

push the traditional model to parents seeking that type of educational structure. MacLachlan said the school’s name must be changed to incorporate the word traditional, the district website should mention Durieu follows this model and incoming teachers and administrators should be briefed on the school’s unique composition. Durieu and Deroche elementary schools are being considered for closure. A public meeting at Deroche happened Jan. 26.

OPINION

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

Share the gift When Marshall McLuhan first identified in the 1960s the possibility of a post-literate society in which a visual, individualistic print culture would be usurped by the aural and oral culture of electronic media, the Internet, high definition television and XBox weren’t even a gleam in futurists’ eyes. Now, some observers say that possibility is a reality. Kids spend countless hours honing their reflexes on video games. Watching HDTV is almost as good as being there. And we all spend way too much time surfing the web. Meantime, newspapers and magazines are struggling for readers. Books gather dust on shelves. But even this so-called post-literate society requires a great deal of literacy. There are labels, instructions and guides to be read. And all those little symbols on your computer screen? They’re called words. Even websites like YouTube are choc-a-bloc with them. Not to mention e-mail and text messages. That’s why today’s Family Literacy Day is so important. If anything, our wired-up, plugged-in multimedia post-literate world has made literacy essential. Imagine being unable to read the instructions on the screen at the bank machine or gas pump. Imagine not understanding what’s printed on a cereal box, bottle of medicine, DVD case, shop sign or restaurant menu. In fact, we do so much reading in our daily lives, it’s easy to take literacy for granted. But none of us were born literate. We had to work at it. Ideally, we started that work early, when it seemed more like play, or sharing quality time with parents or siblings as they read stories to us, maybe even taught us some of the words so we could read along. Literacy is a gift that needs to be shared. Be sure to pass it on.

NDP’s problems much deeper A s the minutes ticked down to last week’s deadline for NDP leadership candidates to sell memberships, the Adrian Dix campaign brought in stacks of memberships and bags of money, which was then divvied up and attached to memberships. Rival candidates Harry Lali and Mike Farnworth cried foul, but the party brass quickly decided the strict rules they imposed were just guidelines, and they’ll accept the memberships. So Dix is now the frontrunner, assuming these thousands of suddenly inspired members from Vancouver’s South Asian and Filipino communities translate into votes for him April 17. As stinky as all this is, it’s not the NDP’s biggest problem. Dix’s remarks in launching his campaign point to another one. He chose a theme of wealth redistribution. “Analysis from all over the developed world demonstrates that the polarization of wealth and power, and the growth of poverty, have very significant financial and social costs imposed on our

children and our communities by the growing divide in our society,” he said. Dix didn’t indicate how he intends to correct this “morally wrong” situation where some people have lots of money and others don’t. But another political controversy in Vancouver offers a clue. B.C. Liberal MLA Kash Heed is being investigated by the RCMP over campaign leaflets distributed to the Chinese community in VancouverTo Fraserview in 2009. The problem wasn’t the content, but rather the anonymous nature of the brochures and the way for which they were paid. One leaflet claimed the NDP supports a “death tax” on inheritance. This would be one way to realize Dix’s dream of government-imposed financial equality, although it’s not one espoused recently by candidates. But if you look up the B.C. NDP constitution, you’ll find

it starts by declaring loyalty to “democratic socialist principles,” which are defined as follows: “a) the production and distribution of goods and services shall be directed to meeting the social and individual needs of people and not for profit, b) the modification and control of the operations of monopolistic productive and distributive organizations through economic and social planning towards these ends, and c) where necesm sary, the extension of the principle of social ownership.” Dix and leadership rival John Horgan both worked for the NDP governments of the 1990s. Horgan describes what he calls a “capital strike” that hit B.C. after the NDP was elected. His terminology hints at a conspiracy of capitalists to pull investment from B.C., to punish the NDP. To Horgan I would reply that this is an understandable

reaction by investors to a party that remains explicitly opposed to profit. To Dix, I would say I look forward to details of this analysis of the terrible effects of income inequality in the developed world. My understanding is that if it weren’t for private capital, competition and rewards for efficiency and innovation, there wouldn’t be much of a developed world to analyze. The root of the recent turmoil in the NDP has been described as a lack of policies. That’s not accurate. Judging by the party’s foundation document, the problem is policies so discredited they can’t mention them. Actually there is a modern policy that equalizes wealth by supporting the poor and placing more of the burden on those most able to pay, while encouraging investment. It’s called the harmonized sales tax. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

The Mission Record Thursday, January 27, 2011 7 The Mission Record Thursday, January 27, 2011 7

‘Idiot’ citizens still choose to drink and drive Editor, The Record: I have read today that the CAA has published survey data from across the country which indicates up to 24 per cent of adult Canadians admit to drinking and driving in the last 12 months. I find this an amazing statistic and one which in my opinion places a significant proportion of our society in the category of “idiot.” This issue is not rocket science and the principles are widely and well understood. The scientifically proven facts are that alcohol negatively affects judgement, motor function and reaction times and the annual multitude of deaths and injuries on our roads associated with alcohol are cold, stark evidence of these facts. According to the CAA study, 98 per cent of Canadians describe drinking and driving as unacceptable yet a significant proportion of our society

makes a conscious choice to ignore the potential consequences and, purely for the sake of convenience, take a chance with their lives and the lives of others. The justice system and politicians enable this behaviour as time and again we witness pathetically inappropriate sentences for serious breaches of this law. The notion, for example, that a police officer may even consider keeping his or her job following a conviction for such an offence is an affront to justice — police officers simply must behave in a way that is above reproach. Causing death through drunk driving requires a mandatory minimum prison sentence of meaningful magnitude. Recent amendments to B.C. drunk driving legislation resulted in muchreported howls of indignation from a vocal minority, and the media spotlight quickly turned towards the

provision of adequate numbers of cabs in Vancouver — as if this in any way excused driving while under the influence of alcohol. This whining and rather superficial reaction totally missed the honest reality — nobody has the right to choose convenience over someone else’s safety, and individual criminal acts are always the responsibility of the perpetrator. It has been suggested that if every politician had served in a war we would rapidly move towards a more peaceful world. Perhaps if every driver had seen, as I have in the course of a previous career, the very gruesome and tragic results of drink driving accidents, fewer of our neighbours would get behind the wheel after a few drinks and treat our streets like a “no consequences” computer game. L. P. Simmons Mission

Start attending council meetings and learn how money is spent Editor, The Record: In order to bring our district’s finances under control we must become more responsible and effective with the resources presently in place. How do we do that? If the district would be more willing to receive input from taxpayers and consider implementing the suggestions, grave errors could be reduced and taxpayer money, as well as council’s reputation, could be saved. The Public Safety Inspection Team (PSIT) is a further addition to the unnecessary empire building. The PSIT does little to nothing about public safety. It should never have been created and needs to be abolished as a Crime Prevention Office is already in place and should do the job. Furthermore, we do not need an additional RCMP officer in this community and could save money by firing one such as the

constable who responded to a fatal shots-fired call and behaved unprofessionally while chuckling with 911 dispatchers. I recommend the citi-

zens of Mission, get more involved in our community by visiting council meetings. Get informed, learn where your tax dollars are being spent and

prepare for this year’s municipal election. All together we can and must do better. Othmar Kagi Mission

that will be explored in depth over the next few months, said Bjorgaard. He also added if the P3 proposal is successful, 25 per cent of the funding will come from senior government and Mission and Abbotsford would still retain ownership. Mission and Abbotsford also jointly operate the sewer treatment plant, which constantly needs upgrading. According to Bjorgaard, a second river crossing is required in case “something goes wrong with the first one.” Mission has capital assets totalling $493,123,060, but much of the infrastructure is aging and needs replacing, which is why Bjorgaard is recommending one per cent of taxes be allocated to reserves. “We need to build our reserves to minimize debt and borrowing,” he said. “We’re planning to increase reserves over time and it’s being built up every year.” By planning ahead, future generations aren’t saddled with an unfair portion. About 50 per cent of funding for the services come from property

taxes, which make up 92 per cent of Mission’s base. The district also looks at user fees annually and adjusts them to try to minimize the amount coming from property taxation, he noted. Mission councillors didn’t offer their opinions Thursday night, but encouraged residents to tell them what they prefer. A 4.77 per cent increase is needed to maintain existing services, which includes police services (1.19 per cent or $302,915), transit (1.22 per cent or $305,113), salaries and benefits (1.97 per cent or $493,806) and other contractual commitments (0.39 per cent or $100,209). That total is reduced to 2.32 per cent after additional revenue and savings were found. The full budget scenario (5.4 per cent) includes hiring an additional police officer ($122,000), a second assistant fire chief ($66,525), funding security guards downtown from taxation instead of gaming funds ($38,940), increasing funding for the economic development office ($35,000), and for community special events grants ($5,000). All the proposed budgets also

include a 1.03 per cent ($259,650) uptick to fund the full-time firefighters hired in October and one per cent ($252,196) to capital contributions. The 4.66 per cent tax hike scenario is similar to the full service one but the district would forego hiring an additional police officer and a second assistant fire chief. A 3.88 per cent would see the downtown security program funded through gaming revenues, a delay in implementing LiveScan for the RCMP, deferring an electronic document management system upgrade and reductions in both the corporate administration and engineering/public works departments. In order to trim the budget to 3.5 per cent, training would be reduced for fire/rescue services, the finance department, overtime would be reduced at public hearings for the planning department, and afternoon reception coverage would be cut back for the recreation and culture department. A second budget meeting, scheduled for Jan. 31 at 6:30 p.m. inside council chambers, will give the public an opportunity to formally speak to council on the issue.

A stepfather accused of sexually touching his young daughter was cleared of the charge last Monday in Port Coquitlam Provincial Court. Provincial court judge Pedro de Couto found the man not guilty of sexual interference with a person under 16, but convicted him of threatening the young girl. The man cannot be named to protect his stepdaughter’s identity. He was accused of touching the 11-year-old sexually on four different occasions while the family lived in Maple Ridge and Mission, between 2008 and 2010. Judge De Couto found testimony given by both the stepdaughter and father to be sincere. De Couto said that while he might have suspicions about the stepfather’s behaviour, they could not form the basis for a guilty verdict. The father denied touching the young girl or having any other inappropriate contact with her. He said the girl’s accusations affected him so much he was admitted to hospital after a complaint was lodged with police in February 2010. While in hospital, he was assessed by a psychiatric nurse. When asked if he was homicidal, the stepfather told the nurse: “I could put a bullet between the little girl’s eyes.” The threat was reported to police and formed the basis for a charge of uttering threats. “He could have readily expressed his feelings in a non-threatening way,” De Couto said while delivering his judgement. A sentencing date on the charge of uttering threats has yet to be set.

BY PHIL MELNYCHUK Black Press

Whoever wins March 6, it will be a Maple Ridge resident running for the New Democrats next federal election. That’s the date for the nomination meeting that will choose either Craig Speirs or Elizabeth Rosenau to challenge Conservative MP Randy Kamp. “I think my appeal is across the board,” said

Speirs, a veteran of Maple R i d g e council who’s filing his Speirs federal nomination papers this week in attempt to contest the Pitt Meadows-Maple RidgeMission riding. Speirs says he’s a social and environmental activist who gets lots of support from all sides of the

SALMON FARMERS WOULD NEVER ADD CHEMICALS TO THEIR SALMON. WAIT, IS DILL A CHEMICAL?

FARMED SALMON ARE AU NATUREL Just like you, salmon farmers want their food natural, nutritious, and free of contaminants. That’s why there are no growth hormones added to BC farmed salmon. Nor are there any dyes—both farmed and wild salmon get their colour from the pigments they ingest as part of their diet. Antibiotics and medical treatments are used rarely and only on the advice of a veterinarian. And just for the record, there are no genetically engineered or modiﬁed ﬁsh in BC farms. At the end of the day the only real difference between farmed and wild salmon is that the farmed ones know where their next meal is coming from.

HORMONES

STEROIDS

GENETIC MODIFICATION

Fact: Salmon farm sites are fallowed after harvest and before restocking.

WE ALL WANT HEALTHY FISH For a modern salmon farmer their salmon’s health is one of their biggest priorities. Over the past decade innovations in techniques have changed how salmon farmers keep their fish healthy. Today, farmed salmon fry are vaccinated against diseases they may pick up from wild salmon or other fish. Divers keep a lookout for signs of illness or disease and report any concerns to veterinarians. Preventative dosages of antibiotics are strictly forbidden; only sick fish may be treated. These steps help salmon farmers ensure their investment grows up healthy and strong. And delicious.

THERE ARE 2 THINGS EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT SALMON They make a great brunch food and they are an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which can help prevent heart disease, reduce cancer risk, and lower cholesterol. What everyone doesn’t know is that farmed salmon isn’t just a great source of healthy Omega-3s (speciﬁcally DHAs), it’s recognized as one of the best sources in the world. Great for you and great on a bagel; that’s win win.

Fact: Farmed salmon and wild salmon are different colours because they are different species of ﬁsh. FARMED SALMON CONTENTS

High in protein, low in saturated fat, salmon is loaded with vitamin D and E. It also contains large amounts of vitamins B6 and B12, along with niacin, selenium, and magnesium too. Little wonder why Health Canada and the U.S. Department of Agriculture conﬁrm both farmed and wild salmon as a healthy food choice.

political sspectrum. ““It’s time w we had ssomebody w h o ’ s ffighting for Rosenau improvements, instead of fighting for the status quo and I think it’s broken and needs to be changed.” Kamp has defeated the previous NDP candidate, Mike Bocking, in three elections — 2004, 2006 and 2008. Each time, the Liberals ran as a strong third party, although they dropped considerably last election. Both NDP candidates have said they’ll support the other, whoever takes the nomination. Speirs, who’s president of the B.C. Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows riding, said previously that while he’s not tired of municipal politics after serving 12 years, “you constantly need to challenge yourself. You constantly need to challenge authority, especially if it’s yourself.” He disagrees with the Conservatives on many

issues and says Canada’s immigration policy is “something out of a tinpot dictatorship.” The government’s Bill C-49, which proposes to put those who arrive by human smuggling in jail for up to a year, is too harsh for him. The same goes for a proposal to deny permanent residency and family sponsorship for five years for refugees such as the Tamils. “I don’t think making a rule like that benefits the country in the long term. It puts people in limbo,” he said of the latter. Both candidates say the NDP have a good chance in Pitt MeadowsMaple Ridge-Mission. Speirs figures there’s an 80-per-cent chance of an election this spring, while Rosenau thinks it’s more 50-50. “I think Canadians are waking up as to what [Prime Minister Stephen] Harper is all about,” Rosenau said. “I really feel that Canada, under Harper’s regime, is losing its democracy.” See FIRST Page 15

First time Rosenau has chosen to run for seat From TWO Page 14

The right to dissent is being chipped away, Rosenau added. She was prompted to run after her daughter Elizabeth Grayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrest while protesting last Juneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s G20 summit in Toronto. Gray was peacefully protesting environmental issues when she was shot

with two rubber bullets and, along with hundreds of others, arrested, locked up, strip searched and held without access to family or lawyers for 30 hours. She is now

suing the Toronto police department. Rosenau pointed out that Harper wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk to media scrums or the press gallery and has only a few favourite

questions were decided in advance.â&#x20AC;? Some topics that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get touched were why Canada was rejected for a seat on the UN security council, why was there

no public inquiry into the G20 protest and the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to extend Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stay in Afghanistan beyond 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He [Harper] also

muzzles more and more people in his own party.â&#x20AC;? Rosenau has been an NDP member off and on over the years, but this is the first time sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running for election.

Change channels and change lives.

Kamp defends prime minister Prime Minister Stephen Harper doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hide from the media and he does make himself available to the press, â&#x20AC;&#x153;from time to time,â&#x20AC;? says Conservative MP Randy Kamp. Speaking in defence of his leader, Kamp said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen Harper involved in media events where he takes off-thecuff questions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re referring to there,â&#x20AC;? he said in response to NDP candidate Elizabeth Rosenauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s criticism that Harper doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t face the media on Parliament Hill. Kamp pointed out that Harper did several yearend interviews. However, he is â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty focused on governing rather than a media, public relations exercise.â&#x20AC;? While thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been some talk of an election this spring, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want one and he says, neither do most Canadians.

Alzheimer’s is a fatal disease

Lack of illness knowledge is ‘troubling,’ says society

Alzheimer’s disease is the leading form of dementia. It is a fatal progressive disease of the brain that robs memory and steals the ability to reason, communicate and perform daily tasks. Changes in the brain can begin to appear decades before diagnosis and progression can last between seven and 10 years. Eventually, the person affected will require 24-hour care and supervision. Age is the single biggest risk factor, but the disease can also strike as early as 40. The Alzheimer Society of B.C. is a nonprofit organization providing province-wide support and education for families impacted by dementia and anyone concerned with memory loss, and leads a provincial effort to transform dementia care in the province. More information on Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia is available at www.alzheimerbc.org.

Baby boomers in Mission, like their counterparts around the rest of the country, have a troubling lack of awareness about Alzheimer’s disease, according to a new online survey. “The gap in awareness in B.C. is sounding alarm bells as to whether our largest population is prepared for the rising tide of dementia that is ahead,” says Jillian Armit, the Mission support and education coordinator for the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C.

bling, she adds, is that respondents to the national survey were unfamiliar with controllable risk factors associated with Alzheimer’s disease, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease and chronic depression. “Awareness and education are the cornerstones for risk reduction particularly since there is yet no cure or treatment to stop the progression of Alzheimer’s disease,” Armit says. “People need to take care of their brain health. We need to work together

to support those who are already on the dementia journey and to find the causes and cure for this devastating disease.” The survey was released earlier this month to kick off national Alzheimer Awareness Month. Among its findings: • 24 per cent of baby boomers can’t name any of the early signs of Alzheimer’s This is worrisome, Armit says, because the risk level for boomers doubles every five years after 65. And boomers make up almost 30 per cent of the overall population in the province. • Less than half of those surveyed in B.C. were able to identify later-stage symptoms other than the most commonly known loss of memory. “This indicates a general lack of awareness of life-altering changes such as hallucinations and complete dependency on others for basic care,” she says. Mission residents can test their own knowledge by taking the survey at www.alzheimerbc.org/ testyourknowledge.aspx. “We want everyone, especially those 40 and older, to learn about Alzheimer’s disease, know the warning signs, and reduce their risk by making simple lifestyle changes.” To help residents with the impact of Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia, the society runs support and information groups, for family caregivers and for those in the early stages of the disease. They offer practical tips, a supportive environment, and a chance to learn from, and share with, others in similar circumstances. For information, contact Armit at 604-8593889 or jarmit@alzheimerbc.org.

In October the Mission Community Archives will once again mark women’s history month in Canada by staging its annual celebration of women to promote awareness of those who have shaped the history and the economic, social, political, and cultural landscape of our community. Through Paths and Pathfinders the lives and stories of four local women will be told using their personal records, photographs, taped reminiscences, organizational records and/ or memorabilia preserved in the archives. “As a result of this annual event,” said archivist Val Billesberger, “the archives has been able to expand its holdings on women of all ages and abilities and from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. The archives holds records on more than 80 women related to the last 100 years of the community’s history.” This year the women will be selected from nominations and the public is encouraged to send in suggestions. Nominations for the 2011 event have been extended to Feb. 28. Eligible women must have resided or presently reside in the District of Mission, Hatzic Prairie, Hatzic Island, Dewdney, Deroche, Nicomen Island, Lake Errock and/or McConnell Creek. The nominator must submit on two pages or less, biographical information about the nominee, including length of residence in the community, field of endeavour and personal attributes, and two letters of support for the nominee from family, friends, associates, etc. To obtain a nomination form or additional information, phone 604820-2621 (Thursdays and Fridays only) or send an e-mail to mca@ missionarchives.com.

Planning makes for good fishing

t is my favourite week of our West Coast winter; halfway to summer. While I do greatly enjoy our fall salmon fishery, summer is my favourite season. Long days, warm stable weather patterns, and abundant evening insect hatches; it makes my heart sing. It is time to block out time on the big 12 month wall calendar and plan. In most people’s busy world planning one’s fishing activities is a must if you don’t want to run into conflict between what you want to and what you need to do. If you are a tournament angler there are registrations and accommodations that need to be taken care of well ahead of time. If you are an instructor, venues and advertising need to be negotiated with enough lead time to fill your classes. If you are a writer, See FISHING Page 25

Mission seamstress living her dream job BY NATALIE NORTH Black Press

t took more than a few hands working behind the scenes to pull together at the Skate Canada Junior Nationals this week. But one pair of hands was busier than others. Anne Nicholishen, official tournament seamstress, specializes in skate and dance costumes. She was set up near the change rooms to deal with any last-minute costume repairs. Nicholishen has been a tournament seamstress several times, following her first gig at the World Figure Skating Championships in Vancouver. “That was a little bit hairy,” she said of the 2001 event. “I had to replace a zipper in 15 minutes.” Nicholishen had one skater hand her a costume and, through her translator, the athlete requested that the seam be mended in just five minutes. But not all of her work is done under such pressure. Dance pair Leonardo and Pilar Maekawa are sporting costumes they conceptualized with the designer, whom they’ve worked with for years. “Pilar and Leo’s Paso outfits are one of my favourites that I’ve done for them so far,” she said, adding that Leonardo’s bolero jacket was inspired by that of a traditional matador’s. “Bling, lots of bling,” said Leonardo, of the outfits the siblings used

during their dance to the Paso Doble from Carmen on Monday. “We started making [our outfits] in the summer and, every time we put it on, it would be changed,” Pilar said. When Nicholishen worked as a fitness instructor in Mission, 30 years ago, she began sewing her own aerobics outfits to get a better fit. Soon she was selling her designs at the gym where she worked. Through word-ofmouth alone, Nicholishen’s company, Robans Designs, grew to accept costume contracts from skate clubs, dance studios and synchronized swimmers. Last year, during a 100th anniversary parade for the Pacific National Exhibition, she designed 100 Elvis and 50 Beatles dance costumes. The PNE was a career highlight for the 55-year-old, who now splits her time between home studios in Mission and Victoria. “It’s a terrible thing to say, but I haven’t had any formal training,” she said. “I just know what to do. People bring me a picture and I can just look at it and know how it goes together.” Nicholishen continues to work intuitively, cutting out nearly every one of her designs alongside eight employees who assemble the costumes. “I find it quite amazing what she can do with very little time and just a picture,” said Sonia Asquini, a full-time employee with Robans in Victoria.

If you are hoping for a fishing vacation at a popular resort, a date and reservations need to be confirmed, before all the good spots are gone.

Well, as Red Green would say, “We are all in this together. I’m pulling for ya.”

BUDGET INFORMATION AND FEEDBACK SESSION in regards to

THE DISTRICT OF MISSION’S 2011 BUDGET

to be held on MONDAY, JANUARY 31, 2011, starting at 6:30 p.m. IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS OF MUNICIPAL HALL Council has been deliberating the District of Mission’s 2011 budget and would now like to receive any ﬁnal input/comments from the public before they ﬁnalize the District’s 2011 property tax increase. Council has been discussing property tax increases that fall within a range of 0% to around 5.5%. The 0% option would have a major impact on public services. Increases in annual water (increase of 15% or $58) and sewer (increase of 10% or $33) user rates are also planned for 2011. These rate increases are needed to pay for major water and sewer infrastructure projects. There is no plan to increase refuse and recycling curbside collection rates for 2011. After a brief presentation by staff, members of the public will be invited to address council in order to provide feedback or comments. An information package will be available at the meeting and informational display boards will be set up. All of the presentation material as well as the District’s detailed budget are available on the District’s website, at www.mission.ca/2011budget.

Council and staff encourage you to attend this important meeting to become better informed about the District’s budget/finances. It is a continuing challenge to achieve a balance between fiscal restraint and the long-term financial sustainability of the community. Your input in achieving this balance is always appreciated. If you are unable to attend this meeting, you can forward any written comments or questions (including e-mails) directly to Municipal Hall and/or council at: info@mission.ca. We would appreciate receiving any comments prior to Friday, February 4, 2011.

The motto of Rotary International is “Service above Self” which conveys the humanitarian spirit and values of the organization’s more than 1.2 million members. Scarrow emulates this spirit and value as she seeks no recognition, but quietly goes about making Mission and the world beyond a better place. She is described as trustworthy, hardworking, fun to be with and thoughtful of others. As Rotarians in Mission, we would like to recognize these qualities of humanitarianism and service in our young citizens, and are proud to present this award to Megan Scarrow.

Keep a clear path Sidewalks are meant to provide for the safe passage of all pedestrians. People out for a walk, kids walking to school and people using motorized scooters and wheelchairs all have a right to a clear sidewalk without obstructions. To ensure everyone’s safety, please consider other people’s needs when setting out your garbage for collection. All cans, bags and bundles must be set out within three metres of the curb or edge of pavement, but must not obstruct pedestrian traffic. Larger items, such as an armchair or a desk, may only be set out during spring cleanup week, and should never block sidewalks or even roadways.

Finger Eleven heads west Popular rock band will be playing at the Clarke Theatre BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Canadian rock band Finger Eleven kicked off its one-month tour across the country nearly two weeks ago. The band is in Ontario now, promoting its newest album, but the members are slowly making their way west and will be performing at the Clarke Theatre Feb. 9. Rick Jackett, the band’s rhythm guitarist, says he’s excited about touring the country. “We haven’t done a real Canadian tour in a long time,” he said. “For us to play in this many cities across Canada is exciting.” From Jan. 14 to Feb. 15, Finger Eleven will play in 23 Canadian cities between Ontario to B.C. Jackett’s favourite part about touring is the shows, and this time, he notes, the production

level is being bumped up and the stage setup and lighting is sure to impress. The band is promoting Life Turns Electric (released in October 2010), and will be playing songs from that album, but they will also dive into older tunes. The band’s new album features hits like Whatever Doesn’t Kill Me and Living in a Dream. Jackett’s favourite is Love’s What You Left Me With, but he admits that changes from time to time. It’s taken the band about a year and a half to put the album together and they will tour for another 18 months to promote it. It’s fun writing songs and music at home, but it’s just as easy to “get on a luxury bus with your buddies and play video games,” said the 36-year-old Jackett, who has been playing guitar since he was 16 years old. Finger Eleven, made up of Scott Anderson, James Black, Sean Anderson, Rich Beddoe and

Jackett, have been together for more than 20 years. “It’s the first and only band we’ve been in,” said Jackett, adding the friendships have lasted so long because of mutual respect. “Over the years some people have evolved faster and there’s a certain frustration, but we’ve always believed we’re only as strong as the weakest link and we try to get everyone involved.” And because they have shared so much time travelling together and gas station burritos, the countless bonding experiences on the road also draw them closer together. Tickets for the Finger Eleven concert at the Clarke are available now at all Ticketmaster locations (call 604-280-4444) or online at www. ticketmaster.ca, or at the door. Doors open at 7 p.m. with the show starting at 7:30 p.m. For more information about the band, visit www.fingereleven.com.

Entertaining evenings coming up at the Clarke Becky’s New Car The Clarke Theatre and the Arts Club Theatre present Becky’s New Car Feb. 7 at 8 p.m. at the Clarke Theatre. The show, written by Steven Dietz and directed by Rachel Ditor, plays for just one night in Mission as part of a tour throughout the Lower Mainland. Becky is married. Check. With one son, in college. Check, check. Living a perfectly ordinary life. Check. But she wants more. When an unexpected offer for just that — from a dashing millionaire, no less — falls into her

lap, Becky embarks on a comic and poignant joyride that may change everything forever. Starring Deborah Williams (Mom’s the Word), Jackson Davies (The Beachcombers, The Producers) and Cavan Cunningham (Fitzy Fitzgerald from TV’s Corner Gas), this production brings together some of Vancouver’s best talents. Tickets for this delightful comic production are available by calling 1-877-299-1644. Snowed in Comedy Question: What happens when four comedians join forces to snow-

board during the day and perform comedy acts in the evening? Answer: The Snowed In Comedy Tour. For one evening only, top comedians like Phil Nichol, Dan Quinn, Craig Campbell and Peter Kelamis will be in Mission on Feb. 11 at 8 p.m. Nichol has been seen on the BBC (British Broadcasting Company) and Mad TV. Quinn is a past winner of the Just For Laughs Canadian Comedy Competition and has been seen regularly on CTV. Campbell has experienced great success at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival as well

as Just For Laughs and on CTV. Kelamis has won several awards and is a regular on Just For Laughs and on Stargate Universe. Together these four will whip the audience into a frenzy of laughter and they have received rave reviews throughout their tour. Most of their B.C. dates have sold out leaving the Clarke Theatre as one of the last places to pick up a great evening of entertainment this winter. Tickets are on sale at the Clarke Theatre box office and at Jazz Ma Tazz in Abbotsford and in Maple Ridge. Call 604-820-3961 for further details.

Acting What’s Happening classes return in Mission

PATCH THE WALL For many years, the church that we attend had a small leak in the slate roof; and this would allow water to run down inside one of the walls and cause plaster in one particular area to discolor and break away. And although there were numerous attempts to repair the leak and plaster over the damaged area, the leak would reappear and the discoloration and damaged plaster would return within a few months after each failed attempt. Every time I went to church and saw the damaged wall, I wondered, do we discolor and destroy our soul like this wall when we sin? When we show repentance, and ask God’s forgiveness for our sinfulness, we make amends with our Creator and our soul is repaired again. However, usually within a short period of time, the discoloration and breaking down of our soul begins, because although we may repent, we do not always make a strong enough effort to further refrain from our transgressions. Our pastor, being a tenacious man, finally saw to it that the roof was repaired properly, and the wall has remained clean now for nearly a year. Similarly, we should be just as tenacious about refraining from sin that is harmful to our soul. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. R.S.V. Psalm 23:3

WEBSTER, James Bruce (1925-2011) Bruce passed away January 19, 2011, ending a valiant 10 year battle with Alzheimer’s, in Campbell River, B.C., with his loving wife of 56 years, Marion (Adams) at his side. Left to miss him are his wife Marion, sons John (Marion), Graham (Joanne), and daughter Shawn (Steve Foley). Also remembering him are grandsons Chris Webster(Adrianna), Adam Webster(Samantha), Landon Foley, and Griffin Foley, as well as granddaughters Erin Horvath and Kathryn Webster, and greatgrandson Daniel Webster. His sister Evelyn Boland and family of Victoria, B.C. will also miss him greatly, as well as brother-in-law Bud Adams (Norma) and family, and sister-in-law Peggy MacDonald (Skip) and family of Campbell River. Bruce was born in Drumheller, Ab. but the dirty 30’s saw his parents return to Kirriemuir, Scotland, where he was raised and got his schooling. After a stint in the RAF, Bruce went to forestry school and then immigrated to the forests of British Columbia to work for the BC Forest service. While working on Vancouver Island, Bruce met Marion in Campbell River, and they settled to raise their family in Mission, B.C. where they resided for 37 years. Bruce was very involved in the community, through Kinsmen, the Hospital Board, St. Andrew’s United Church, scouting, the Recreation Commission, Legion Branch 57, and many other organizations. Bruce and Marion retired back to Campbell River in 1996. Special thanks to Dr. Mechin, Jane Feniuk, Adult Care, and New Horizons.
