Dragged from home and beaten Mission man arrested after abduction, three more suspects sought BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

It didn’t take long for Mission RCMP to rescue a 20-year-old Mission resident after they learned he had been kidnapped Sunday. The man was taken from his home just before midnight on Jan. 24, according the Mission RCMP.

He was dragged from his property and taken to a rural area of town where he was assaulted, said Const. Amanda Fallis. Police have interviewed the victim, who is recovering from a broken nose and cuts to his face and arms. Police say the victim was targeted.

Simranjeet Singh Deol, a 25-year-old Mission resident, is already in police custody and has been charged with assault causing bodily harm, kidnapping, forcible confinement and possession for the purpose of trafficking. RCMP say there are still three male suspects outstanding. RCMP will not confirm how

they found Deol, which area of Mission the incident took place, why the victim was targeted or how they were alerted to the kidnapping, which lasted only about an hour. As long as there are suspects out there, few details will be given out

There are hundreds, maybe even thousand of volunteers in Mission, but one of them stood out above the rest Tuesday afternoon at the Crime Prevention Office on First Avenue. Les Busch started volunteering with Citizen’s Patrol in 1994 and has made working in crime prevention a career since then. Busch logged 1,506 volunteer hours last year, which is enough to be considered a full-time job. Busch humbly made his way to the front of the room when CPO coordinator Vic Barron began the ceremony to recognized the 80-plus year old man, who could easily be playing crib or lawn bowling instead of helping his community. The volunteer spirit is the cornerstone of everything we do, said Mayor James Atebe, who presented Busch with a certificate of recognition on behalf of the district. Mission has benefited because Busch has chosen volunteering in a public safety program as one of his passions. “Les doesn’t just come in and log hours,” explained Barron, who also

presented the long-time volunteer with a plaque. “He chairs the Citizen’s Patrol management team, makes sure the equipment is ready and running, and he helps me organize training sessions.” Busch also assists the public and works in the front office as well. Busch moved to Mission in 1994 after he had a heart attack. He told The Record he needed to be closer, in an area where health care was more accessible. Busch had been a tour bus driver, travelling all over the USA and Canada, but after his health scare, he knew he couldn’t go back to that job. “I had to do something,” said Busch, who’s not content to sit around. A friend suggested he look into Citizens Patrol. Busch was called in for his first shift in the fall of that year and he didn’t look back. “I saw what was happening and I enjoyed it a lot,” said Busch, who has chaired the group for nearly eight years now. Three years after he joined Citizens Patrol, Busch started working in the downtown office. “I get a certain satisfaction,” he told his colleagues. “Everyone is a pleasure to work with.”

Mission featured in Repeaters Canadian-made movie stars Dustin Milligan, Amanda Crew and Richard de Klerk BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Gun shots rang out twice in one week at two different downtown locations. Shots were fired at the Bellevue Hotel and the Yummy House restaurant, but nobody was really injured during the filming of Repeaters, a movie slated for theatrical release once it’s finished. Movie crews have been filming around Mission for the past three weeks. They are working out of St. Mary’s Centre and are shooting at different locations, such as the Mission post office, a local prison, and Mission Secondary School. The movie, a fast-paced thriller, is set in a fictional town called Mission City. Last Thursday, crews transformed the post office into the town’s police station. Canada Post customers were allowed to continue their businesses and traffic wasn’t disrupted along First Avenue. Mission was selected as the film’s location “based on a multitude of reasons, including great scenery, great diversity of the ‘type’ of locations and their proximity to each other,” said Christopher Spencer, assistant production coordinator for

Repeaters. The movie features a Canadian cast and crew. It is about three young people who struggle with addictions and other demons and each day is repeated. They eventually realize they don’t have the power in them to change and they are forced to make choices that will affect them and everyone around them. The movie stars Dustin Milligan as Kyle, Amanda Crew as Sonia and Richard de Klerk as Weeks. Milligan was born in Yellowknife and moved to Vancouver when he was 18. Other roles he has been featured in are The Land of Women with Meg Ryan, and he was a regular in the series 90210. He currently lives in the Los Angeles area.

Homelessness forum takes place Friday Learn more about homelessness and its impacts this Friday at the Homelessness Hurts, How Close are You to It? forum. The program consists of a panel that includes clients of the homeless shelter, supporters, and MCSS staff Rosemary Fromson, program manager of Haven in the Hollow, and Tony Lapointe, executive director of Mission Community Services, which has organized the seminar. Mayor James Atebe will also be in attendance. The program includes time for questions, discussion, ideas and feedback from members of the community. All are welcome, admission is free. The forum will include information on and discussion about Haven in the Hollow, Community Services’ first

stage shelter program. At Haven in the Hollow, MCSS provides temporary accommodation and case management services designed to meet the essential and immediate needs of the homeless for shelter, food, and security while assisting them to secure ongoing stable housing that meets their ongoing needs. They also provide external linkages to key services, including health care, addictions treatment, employment programs, mental health services, and community programs. Clients can selfrefer by contacting the shelter office directly at 604-820-9008. The forum on homelessness is being put on as part of Community Services Week. It runs from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the library meeting room. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. For more information call 604-826-3634.

Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud, and played Carrie in the TV show Whistler. De Klerk is from Vancouver, and other credits to his name include roles in Crossed and Supernatural. Repeaters is written by Arne Olsen (Red Scorpion, Power Rangers) and directed by Carl Bassai (Normal, Emile). Bessai’s films have garnered international awards and critical acclaim. Filming has slowed down in Mission last year, compared to the year before, ac-

cording to Stacey Crawford, Mission’s economic development officer. There were only 10 film productions in Mission in 2009, down from 18 in 2008. The district is supportive of film activity and Crawford’s office is working on refining the film policy to attract more production. Movies like Repeaters that feature Mission have the potential to raise the community’s profile and generate a lot of interest, but the immediate economic benefits

are “tougher to nail down,” he added. The general statement is about a $10,000/day economic benefit, he said. Crews often purchase items, such as hardware, locally and they eat and sleep in the community as well. Filming also creates a buzz and brings excitement among residents in the community. Crawford says the filming forecast for this year is interesting because there’s a lot of unknowns, but he’s hoping things will pick up.

Three suspects still loose From ABDUCTION page 1 because police don’t want anyone else to get hurt, explained Fallis. She said police are exploring gang affiliations. All three males police are looking for are described as caucasian. The first suspect has a shaved head and a red/orange goatee on

his face. The second suspect is described as about 6’5” tall with a slim build and no facial hair. He was wearing a green sweater, blue jeans and a baseball cap. The third suspect is about 6’ tall, heavy set, and has short, sandy coloured hair. Anyone with information about this crime, or the whereabouts of these suspects, is

asked to call Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161. If you want to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 any time. You don’t have to give your name and you don’t have to testify in court. A cash reward of up to $2,000 will be given for any information which leads to an arrest and charge of a suspect.

Police send warning to Hatzic residents Local police are warning residents in Hatzic to be vigilant around their neighbourhoods after they noticed an increase of auto crime in the area. From November until early January there were 14 cases of thefts from vehicles and two reports of vehicle thefts. There are no suspects in any of the cases.

Police are monitoring the area more closely and are doing more street checks, said Cpl. Sharon Siluch. “We’re checking for anything suspicious and anything out of the ordinary.” Residents are reminded to lock their vehicles, use an anti -theft device and report anyone or anything suspicious to the police.

New RCMP complaints head named Ian McPhail has been named the interim chair of the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP. “I have been given a one-year mandate to ensure that the fine work of the Commission continues. This is exactly what I will do,” he said in a statement. “My predecessor left me with an extremely effective, well-run organization. The role of the Commission is very clear – as is my role. The public, and indeed RCMP members, should not expect anything to change in terms of the Commission’s approach to managing complaints files.” He said the commission will continue to fairly and impartially accept and review public complaints made about the conduct of RCMP members, and added that public accountability for all decisions and actions of the Commission will remain paramount to him and his staff. “I have a very experienced team to draw upon for any advice and guidance that I may need.”

Communities in Bloom set for national competition BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Mission is set to compete on the national stage in this year’s Communities in Bloom contest. In 2009, Mission received five blooms, which put the community in a prestigious category, prompting an invitation to join the nationals. Past CinB co-chair Myrna Matthews, along with co-chair Bert Pulles and Jean Kask presented Mission council with a glass trophy and the accompanying certificate Monday night. Matthews highlighted some of the judges’ comments from last year’s competition, and pointed out special mention was given to the Silverdale

wetlands. Mission scored 85.15 per cent on the competition. This community received top marks for community involvement (113.5 out of 125), tidiness (111.5) and natural and cultural heritage conservation (108).

Other categories in the challenge were environmental awareness (104.5), tree/urban forest management (101.5), landscaped areas (104.5), floral displays (104), and turf and groundcovers (104). While Mission, which only started the CinB ini-

tiative five years ago, has five blooms in the provincial competition, and garnered positive feedback from the judges, there is still more that can be done. Marks are low for the commercial sector, and some neighbourhoods need to spruce things up too, said Matthews. Just tidying up neighbourhoods, putting on a new coat of paint, or planting some flowers to add a bit of colour can go a long way, she added. Out of the judges’ report, it was noted Mission needs more hybrid vehicles and wider shoulders on roads for cycling. The categories on the national level are the same and the timeline will be similar, but competition

will be more fierce. Matthews says the group plans to highlight the rain garden and spirit park this year and asked the bylaw officer to

step up enforcement for neighbourhood appearances. They also hope to research organic practices and speak with organizations in the community,

such as the Abbey, about what they are doing. CinB is now a registered society in Mission. To learn more, visit www. mission.ca/cinb.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 2010

OPINION

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

Greedy government

survey of housing affordability in 272 cities around the globe has shown that Vancouver area housing is “severely unaffordable.” This isn’t news to people who have bought a home in recent years. They know just how much their monthly payments are, and if it weren’t for record low interest rates, many of them would be renters, not owners. Prices throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley are high, and there are very few bargains out there. Mission is a last bastion of affordability, and prices are rising fast. It used to be that homes in the Fraser Valley, starting in Surrey and moving east, were priced a fair bit lower than those in Vancouver, but that has changed in recent years. The price differential isn’t as glaring as it used to be. Given the very expensive housing prices here, what have local or provincial governments done to ease this affordability crisis? Nothing. The provincial government already collects a whopping amount through the property purchase tax, which is one per cent on the first $200,000 of the sale price and two per cent above that. As of July 1, it will be collecting another seven per cent from its portion of the HST on housing – a tax currently not levied on new homes. While a tax rebate will effectively eliminate the tax on homes under $525,000, many buyers of new homes will be paying far more tax – on top of high housing prices. Local governments aren’t any better. They consistently raise the development cost charges on urban developments, which are paid by buyers‚ not by developers, as some municipal politicians seem to think. The developers pass the cost on to the buyers. DCCs are a key factor in the high cost of a serviced building site. Local governments also have been raising property taxes by about five per cent annually, and show no sign of easing off on this annual increase, which is well above inflation and considerably more than many first-time home buyers can afford. – The Langley Times

Ottawa make-work costs real jobs

he Prosperity copper-gold mine project near Williams Lake is the latest of a series of major industrial projects to finally meet B.C.’s environmental requirements, only to find itself waiting again for Ottawa’s blessing. The $800 million Prosperity mine got B.C. approval last week, and now waits for federal approval along with the $330 million Upper Toba hydroelectric project, approved by B.C. last March. Other projects that have sat in Ottawa’s environmental purgatory include the proposed Kitimat liquefied natural gas terminal, which would bring that struggling community 700 construction jobs and 50 permanent operations positions. Its proponents shuffled To paper with Ottawa for nearly two more years after B.C. approved it in 2006. The biggest project affected in recent years is a $1.1 billion natural gas pipeline from Summit Lake to Kitimat, not for the LNG plant but merely to extend B.C.’s existing gas infrastructure. It waited nearly a year for a duplicate federal permit that was granted in 2009. These federal delays and costs would be acceptable if they were actually helping the environment. They’re not. The real work isn’t duplicated. By

“real work” I mean things like counting moose tracks in the snow, minnows in each tiny creek, or varieties of lichen on alpine rocks before projects are adjusted, approved or abandoned. All this real science is done at the expense of private investors who dare to climb B.C.’s mountain of environmental bureaucracy before they run out of air and join the skeletons that dot its slopes. The provincial process is thorough, as one can see by the project files (www.eao.gov. bc.ca). Prosperity mine first applied in 1995, going through not only voluminous environmental impact and remediation studies but also consultation with 13 local and regional aboriginal groups. And here’s the thing: the B.C. Environmental Assessment Ofm fice already works with federal departments such as Environment Canada, Fisheries and Oceans and Transport Canada to reach its conclusions. These agencies don’t then repeat the fieldwork for the federal permits. Mostly they rearrange the same scientific data into nice big binders in French and English, taking an Ottawa amount of time to do so. And remember, this all comes at a time when both the B.C. and federal governments are running up unprecedented levels of debt to finance any “shovel ready” economic stimulus

project they could scrape together. The federal deficit is an obscene $56 billion this year, and yet this job-killing nonsense is still being tolerated. Professional environmentalists and the more obstructionist aboriginal groups love these delays, and work day and night to compound them. They don’t want B.C. to have any more mines, or pipelines, or power projects. They apparently want B.C.’s vast hinterland to depend entirely on taxpayer-funded welfare, supplemented with politically correct public works like hiking trails, all paid for with money borrowed against those of us still lucky enough to work in the private sector, our children and grandchildren. These opponents were cheering last week when the Supreme Court of Canada handed down a decision on the Red Chris metal mine in northwestern B.C. The mine can proceed, but as the law is currently written, Ottawa can no longer choose to review only the pertinent parts of such a project. So that effort to bring efficiency to environmental assessment has been foiled, in this case by a self-appointed group called MiningWatch. Among this group’s funders are the Public Service Alliance of Canada, the Steelworkers “humanity fund” and the Canadian Auto Workers “social justice fund.” Perhaps they hope to make cars out of wood. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

YOUR VIEWS

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 2010

Expects frugal council in ‘wobbly times’ Editor, The Record: The Record’s Jan. 21 edition reports Mayor James Atebe expressing the view that it’s easy to be frugal. Say what? For many, the need to be frugal is not easy, it’s a necessity. Council has presented three 2010 tax increase scenarios. Choose your tax increase: 5.35%, 5.86% or 6.88%. Why not Option #4:

Pencil sharpeners for all at city hall. Council’s needs versus wants: the needs/ wants of residents; the cost/benefit analysis of expenditures – all well and good. But, to what extent is the taxpayer’s ability to pay weighted into considerations? An unenviable task, but that’s the task at hand, and Mission councillors wanted the position. If fluff and frills can’t be found, council

should take a look-see at our U.S. neighbours. Across the border in King County, Washington, 10 unpaid employee furlough days were proposed by organized labour as a means to help close the 2009 King County Budget gap while preserving as many jobs as possible. Council members committed to share in the sacrifice by returning part of their own salaries.

Imagine that! With current uncertainties (or in credit union lingo “wobbly times”) a business-as-usual financial budget should be a no-go. Perhaps those on the public’s payroll locally will be similarly motivated to share the economic pain. E. Hanlon Mission

No evidence of frugality Editor, The Record: In the article headlined “Public Reviews Three Budgets”, Jan. 21, Mayor James Atebe pointed out that “ it’s easy to be frugal.” The sheer arrogance of such a statement is sanctimonious, hypocritical and very insulting to numerous people on basic minimum wage, fixed incomes and the unemployed. The council, presided over by Mayor Atebe, had sanctioned ludicrous grants, such as $10,000 to move a rhododendron; bestowed upon council vehicle allowances of $100 per month per councillor, $200 per month for the mayor; given municipal workers an overall unprecedented five year 21 per cent increase; conferred on all staff receiving $75,000 per annum, a 3.5 per cent increase [2008 -2009], topped by $10,000 and $11,000 increases for Dennis Clarke and Glen Robertson, during times when the cost of

living was almost deflationary. Certainly no frugality was practiced in those decisions, as” frugal” is defined in the dictionary. There was no evidence of “frugality” when Mayor Atebe and his entourage travelled to Japan, so one may assume that “frugality “ is good for everyone else. Indeed, it is apparent that the council is frugal when issuing public information and answering questions, particularly when pertaining to finances, staffing efficiency and the inequities of tax yield from various properties. The old adage continues to hold good – practice what you preach! Jeanette Smith, Silverhill

Operate within a budget During uncertain economic times Mission council should give taxpayers a break, say letter writers.

Paramedic inquiry bogus Editor, The Record: Re: Inquiry proposes paramedic options This is exactly why the paramedic union stayed away from this report. This report has only re-iterated (sometimes word for word) what the government has been saying during the paramedic strike. Mr. Trumpy could only muster up two paragraphs about one of the largest issues paramedics have been facing (staffing), but he obviously found the time to go beyond the established terms of reference and researched two additional ways of dismantling BCAS (privatization and community based services). And as what seems to be habitual for anyone associated with the government, such as this report, all the talk and comparison of paramedic wages happens to com-

pletely ignore the wages of sixty per cent of paramedics! Why does Mr. Trumpy and the entire government ignore the wages of the majority of the workforce? By ignoring this they can boast that they pay the best – when the truth is they pay the worst

– when you look at all paramedics, not just a minority of them. Mr. Trumpy, like the Liberals he is supposed to be neutral from, cherry picks a very small minority of paramedic wages (very senior full-timers), and ignores the rest. Jason Angulo

Editor, The Record: What part of “we cannot afford it” does Mission council fail to understand? Our taxes are already among the highest in the Valley and are grotesque in terms of what we actually get for them. If any of you wonder about that, take a look at the recent “repairs” done to Cedar Street. It is worse now, by far, than before the repairs. The intersection of Seventh and Cedar is another bad joke that has gone on since the Cedar Connector was completed. I guess that trips to Japan for our mayor and a senior staffer were so important that we must pay for that kind of junket... though I would really like to know exactly what they achieved, what the costs were and whether there was any net benefit to Mission. How is that Genstar and Madison Development Corporations get a huge tax break thanks to the inappropriate and possibly even illegal zoning of the “Genstar Lands” as Light Agriculture while the rest

of us get stuck, yet again, with unconscionable tax increases in very harsh economic times? It is time for governments at all levels to start living within the means of the taxpayer and cease increasing taxation rates. Our wallets and bank accounts have been sufficiently raped. I, for one, am tired of politicians lying to me, whether it be those of local government, our provincial government or our federal government. I suspect other taxpayers and citizens feel similarly. We cannot afford higher taxes. Council must learn to operate within its budget and stop trying to milk us all for more. The shake-down has to end. Chris Ryan Mission

Recruits needed for Search and Rescue BY

NEIL CORBETT

Mission Record

One of the great things about living in Mission is the outdoor recreation opportunities that abound. But when hikers, hunters, quadders and boaters don’t come back when they’re expected, that natural playground becomes an imposing, vast wilderness. Fortunately, there is a group in town that specializes in combing the outdoors for lost people. And, Mission Search and Rescue is asking for new recruits to help them take on the job. The group is a volunteer organization, operated as a non-profit society, but it is also a critical part of Mission’s emergency response capability, and operates under the umbrella of the Provincial Emergency Program. They are well equipped for their job, says Gary Swan, the SAR manager. They get numerous calls each year about missing boaters, and they have a 22-foot jet boat for those jobs. With a six-litre V-8 engine, it can do 60 km/h, and cover a lot of Stave Lake’s endless shoreline in a hurry, or easily handle the Fraser’s powerful currents. They also have a 12-foot Polaris rigid hull inflatable, and for marshy and swampy areas a Argo eight-wheel amphibious vehicle. They can also put tracks on the Argo, making it great in winter conditions.

“We’re dialed in for the snow, and really swampy marsh areas,” said Swan. The group also has two 4x4 rescue trucks and a command and control vehicle which is loaded with computers, maps, communications gear and more. They cover a lot of ground. The Mission SAR is bordered by other rescue teams, and their territory goes to the Stave River in the west, the Harrison River in the east, and the southern border is the Fraser, but their northern boundary is as far as they can range. Swan says depending on the situation, the searches in the far northern reaches of their territory are often assisted by the Department of National Defence. Being a SAR volunteer means showing up for regular training, and for searches. There are 18 members, but Swan says the group needs more to be at full muster. “When you’ve got 18 volunteers, of the hardcore people who are going to show up every time you’re probably down to 10 or 12,” he said. Ten searchers would leave his crew a little thin on the ground, and immediately calling for support from neighbouring crews. “I’d like to see another half-dozen people come through training, at least,” he said. Volunteers have their training paid for, and work two nights per week on a combination of book work and field training. It starts with training onPage basic10 See SAR

‘You’ve got to like the outdoors...’ From SAR Page 9

ground searches, with survival skills and map-and-compass work being the emphasis. Swan said it is important that SAR volunteers be able to function independently in the wilderness. “You could easily be put in a situation where a volunteer has to spend the night (outdoors),” he said. “Our people get used to being on their own in the bush at night.” Training expands to rope rescue, swift water rescue, tracking, team leading and SAR management. You don’t have to endure a firefighter’s physical testing, but you need to be able to put up with the rigours of a search in all kinds of terrain. “As long as you’re capable of walking all day without dropping dead,”

Swan said. “You’ve got to like the outdoors, and helping people,” said Swan, noting that conditions are not always favourable, as the volunteers work in rain, cold and bugs. He said there is good camaraderie between the men and women on the team. Several own motorcycles and go for rides together, and they host SARbecues. “It’s fun. We do try and make it so people enjoy the training, but when it’s for real we want to make sure people are switched on, and do it right.” The team will be running an open house at their base on Feb. 18, at 7 p.m. at 7229 Mershon St. (in the same complex as the recycle centre). Anyone interested in joining can access an application on the team’s website at missionsar.com, or at Firehall 1.

Icebreakers coach cooks up a victory BY

NEIL CORBETT

Mission Record

With bellies full of the coach’s cooking, the Mission Icebreakers climbed back into the last playoff spot in the Harold Brittain Conference, leapfrogging the Port Moody Black Panthers in an 8-5 romp at the Mission Leisure Centre on Sunday afternoon. The Icebreakers had lost on Friday night at MSA Arena, as the Abbotsford Pilots plastered them 7-2. With his team headed in the wrong direction in recent outings, coach Jeff Regier hosted the boys to his place for a Sunday morning brunch. He served up pre-game pancakes, eggs and a video session. The guys watched themselves play, and realized “scrambled” didn’t just describe Regier’s culinary offerings. The coach said the game video was an eye opener for some of the players. “When you see yourself skate, you’re not nearly as fast as you think you are,” said Regier. Maybe it was the fearless self analysis of the video session. Maybe it was a little team build-

Mud Dawgs qualify for provincial championships An 8-6 victory over New Westminster clinched a berth at the provincial field lacrosse championships for the under-12 Mission Mud Dawgs team. Team captain, Dallan Mazar, led the squad in the victory that brings the teams record to 9-3-1. Lucas Taylor, Jesse Forster, and Devin Cameron with two goals were the other scorers in the contest. Despite being a young team with only four players moving up to U14 next year, the team is currently in second place in the Pacific Coast Field Lacrosse League. The four senior members provide strong play and leadership as Mazar and Nick Seal have been dominant in the midfield while the defence is anchored by Daniel Kran and Gabby Jensen. The U10 team followed up a 16-5 win over North Shore with a dramatic 6-5 victory over Burnaby. Coach Dean Recsky called a late

timeout with the score tied 5-5 to draw up the game-winning goal with 19 seconds left in the game. Imat Grewal’s third goal of the game was the winner. Owen Gossen, Chris Petty, and Brenden Bell scored the other goals. Bryce Mackenzie and star defender Isaac Tremblay also had strong games. The team played its strongest game of the season in the victory over North Shore. Dayton Matkovich and Imat Grewal led the scoring with three goals and two assists each. Owen Gossen scored three goals and added an assist to go along with dominating play at midfield. Brendan Bell, Hayden Vetterl, and Ethan Symons each contributed two goals and an assist and Isaac Tremblay rounded out the scoring. Q Registration for box lacrosse will be taking place at the Leisure Centre on Saturday Jan. 30 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and on Feb. 2 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

ing. Or, maybe Regier slipped some ephedrine into his pancake batter. For whatever reason, the team came up with a much better effort, busting out five goals in the second period. Luke Venema had a great game, a goal and five assists – a solid month worth of production in one outing. The Panthers had no way of stopping that line, as Nathan Law tallied a hat trick and four points, while Joel Venema, Luke’s brother, had a goal and an assist. Ryan Stewart also had a goal and an assist in the game, while Colin Wandfluh and Nicolas Malinsky both scored. With the win, the Icebreakers improve to 9-27-3 on the season, which puts them in a tie with Port Moody for the final playoff spot, with 21 points apiece. Mission has a game in hand, with nine left to play. This Friday Icebreaker boosters will have to only travel down the Lougheed for 15 minutes to see their team play, as they take on the Ridge Meadows Flames at Planet Ice at 7:30 p.m. On Sunday they host the Aldergrove Kodiaks at 3:30 p.m. at the Leisure Centre.

What’s right, what works, remains the same

hile leafing through a book on popular British fly patterns, I noticed one of my Lower Mainland standbys, the Zulu. Upon looking closer at the page I found that my modified version of this fly was more of a Bumble than a Zulu. The Bumble I found, through reading further, has a history that dates four centuries to the time of Joseph Cotton. While silk and lamb’s wool have given way to Je mono cord and synthetic yarn, and starling necks has given way to rooster hackles, the design remains the same.

Four hundred years have passed since Dame Jullaina Berners and Joseph Cotton introduced us to the sport of fly fishing, yet we can still find success with the same flies they used. Norman’s father the Reverend Maclean is quoted as teaching “All good things, trout and eternal salvation come by grace.” What a blessing it is to be ever reminded that what is true, what is right, and what works, remains ff the same; yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 2010

Climbing into competition Mikayla Van der Hulst, a 14 year old from Mission, competed in her first ever rock climbing competition last weekend in Kelowna. She, along with six of her teammates from the Rock Wall Climbing Gym, travelled together to compete at the Tour de Bloc competition at “Beyond the Crux” gym.

Mikayla only started climbing last year, and joined the competitive team this fall. She was a bit nervous, said coach Terry Spurrell, but channelled her energy into the climbing and did well placing fifth in her age category of 14/15 year olds. At the competition were climbers from Alberta and across B.C.

Norway vs UBC in Abby

Mission Secondary’s ski and snowboard team has had another successful season on the slopes, and will compete at the provincials in Rossland.

Fraser Valley silver for MSS

Olympic hockey will be coming to Abbotsford on Feb. 10, when Team Norway takes to the ice for a game against the UBC Thunderbirds. The Norwegian men’s national ice hockey team is the same squad that participates at the IIHF World Championships for both men and women. “We are excited to be playing a game against an Olympic Team from Norway,” said UBC coach Milan Dragicevic. “It is once a lifetime experience and we hope that it will be

a great experience for both teams.” UBC is made up of mostly of former Major Junior players with 14 players having played their junior careers in the WHL and three in the OHL. The game will be played at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the game will begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets will be available at the box office, and go on sale to the public on Jan. 27 at 10 a.m.

Skiers and snowboarders advance to provincials Mission Secondary skiers and snowboarders have enjoyed another dominant season in the Fraser Valley high school winter sports, as seen at the Fraser Valley Zone Finals at Blackcomb on Jan. 20. The girls snowboard team won the zone finals thanks to the impeccable performances of Tessa McKamey and Kara Upton. Tessa won gold and Kara came in fifth to cinch the title. Jasslyn Hodgins, a regular, couldn’t make the competition on Wednesday, but her impact will be felt at Rossland’s, Red Mountain ski hill, where Mission will compete at the provincial finals. The girls ski team did not repeat as the Valley champions but there were significant signs of it happening again soon. Natasha Crick won individual gold in the slalom and silver in the giant slalom. Other individual accomplishments were Mariah Hunter and Liz Janze who both came in the top 10 for slalom and giant slalom. They have shown the kind of competitive drive that makes for winners, said the coaching staff, who hope to see even greater results next season.

Alex Janze and Logan Bryan, boys new to the ski team this year, placed in the top 20 in both slalom and GS. With some more new blood next year, MSS might have a boys team to rival the girls. The boys snowboard team, not to be out done, brought home some hardware, and also qualified for the provincials Rossland. Dylan Anderson won an individual bronze, in a tight contest, just 1/10th of a second ahead of Jason Leiva who came in fourth. Brandon Hawkins also placed in the top 10. The other boarders Luuk Leenders and Phil Dombrowski, international students from the Netherlands and Germany respectively, had a great showing and brought real maturity to the MSS team. Jake McCulloch, Zane Cowan, Robert Grootendorst, Josh Towslager, and Elliot Goodier continued their successful regular season, and all of these young men combined to bring the MSS team to within three points of a Valley title. Second place qualifies the boys to go to Rossland in March, for the second straight year.

Canadian flag bearer to be named tomorrow BY MATTHEW HOEKSTRA Black Press

Canada’s flag bearer for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games will be announced at Richmond City Hall on Friday. The nation’s representative for the

Canadian Olympic team will be revealed at a 2:30 p.m. press conference that will officially name about 200 athletes to the Canadian team. Given the Canadian Olympic Committee’s decision to make the announcement in Richmond, the honour could go to a speed skater or the

city’s lone athlete competing in the Games. Three-time Olympian and speed skater Clara Hughes is considered a favourite, as is skater Jeremy Wotherspoon. Cindy Klassen, who won five speed skating medals in the 2006 Torino Winter Games could also be in

the running. Richmond’s own Alexa Loo, who was named to the Canadian snowboarding team on Monday, is also a possibility. Loo, 37, placed 20th in 2006. Other possibilities include veteran bobsled pilot Pierre Lueders and

hockey player Hayley Wickenheiser. Hockey player Danielle Goyette was Canada’s flag bearer at the 2006 Winter Games. Canada’s 2010 Olympic team will include 32 returning Olympic medallists from the 2006 Games and six world champions from 2009.

U.S. warns of terrorist dangers BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

The U.S. government is cautioning Americans coming here for the 2010 Winter Olympics that the Games could be magnet for terrorists. The State Department travel advisory for the Vancouver Olympics outlines routine crossborder issues for Americans coming north – like not bringing guns due to Canada’s tighter firearm laws – but also includes an Olympic security assessment. While there have been “no specific, credible terrorist threats to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games,” it says, international terrorist groups remain a threat at major public events. “Al-Qaida’s demonstrated capability to carry out sophisticated attacks

against sizable structures – such as ships, large office buildings, embassies and hotels – makes it one of the greatest potential threats to the Olympics.” Extremists not directly controlled by al-Qaida could also strike, it notes, as happened in the 2004 Madrid train bombings and London transit system bombings in 2005. U.S. visitors are also advised not to get caught up in local protests that could seek to disrupt the Olympics. “Even peaceful events can turn violent,” the U.S. advisory notes. Olympic security is estimated to cost $900 million. An estimated 7,000 police officers, 5,000 private security guards as well as Canadian Forces personnel will be deployed.

No matter where you live in the province, you can share in the experience of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. There’s a wealth of ways to join in, whether the Olympic Torch Relay is coming to your neighbourhood or you are part of our online community.

Olympic bait set out for car thieves Auto thefts drop again; top 10 lists released BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Police plan to flood park-and-ride lots with bait cars during the Olympics to foil auto thieves seeking to prey on Games-goers. Bait cars will be planted at all 22 park-andrides as well as Olympic Bus Network parking and departure hubs. Many will also contain bait property – cameras, laptops and the like marked with new microdot DNA technology to easily identify stolen items later and provide indisputable court evidence. “Note to thieves: the Games are not your ticket to easy pickings,” said Sgt. Gord Elias of the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT). “Anywhere you see a lot of cars, there will be

bait cars. Steal one and you will go to jail.” An estimated 250,000 more people a day will take public transit during the Olympics, many of them parking their vehicles to board SkyTrain, and Solicitor General Kash Heed said steppedup measures should provide them more peace of mind. Police will also be using cars equipped with automated licence plate scanners to scan up to 600 plates an hour in search of stolen vehicles during the Olympics. A combination of advanced policing technology and tactics are continuing to put car thieves on the run in the Lower Mainland. The region recorded 8,000 car thefts last year, down by 1,000 or 12 per cent from 2008. And it’s a 61-per-cent drop from 2003, when

the auto theft epidemic peaked with 21,000 stolen vehicles reported across the region. “We’ve really turned the heat up on the car thieves,” Sgt. Gord Elias of the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT). “A lot of them have decided it’s just not worth stealing cars any more.” Bait cars and automated licence plate scanning have both helped, as has intelligence-based policing with much greater use of crime analysts to track trends. “We’re policing a lot

smarter than we used to,” Elias said. “Before we head out on the road every day, we know who’s in jail, who’s out of jail, who’s the most active, where the hotspots are, what types of cars are being stolen and what times of day they’re being stolen.” When a car thief is on the run, the Air One or Air Two police helicopters can be called in, as well as police dogs if a suspect flees on foot. Surrey recorded 2,590 car thefts last year, by far the most of any city in B.C.

That was a two per cent drop from 2008 and down 52 per cent from 2003. Thefts from cars also dropped 16 per cent last and have fallen 53 per cent from 2003 in the Lower Mainland. IMPACT also released its new list of the top 10 suspects wanted for car theft. Three are wanted in Surrey: 18-year-old Jamie R. Crosson; Jason Foster Chysyk, 39, and described as a very active car thief in the Surrey area; and Justin Mathew Little, 29, who is also wanted in Burnaby and Langley. Shane Richard Trotter, wanted by North Vancouver, is now believed to be active in the North Delta area and has 31 convictions since 1993. Brian Robert Stephan, 24, is also wanted in Chilliwack and is considered armed and dangerous. Others wanted include: Daniel Joseph Perrault, 41, by Vancouver; Cory Evan Ballod, 32, by

Sooke/Saanich police and described as “a oneman wrecking crew”; Dhilan Amos Zermeno, 24, by Victoria police; Donald George Tindall, 52, wanted by Kelowna; and Kalvin Douglas McCurdy, 18, wanted by IMPACT. Police say the typical profile for a B.C. car thief is a drug-addicted male in his late 20s with a long criminal record who uses a stolen car to commit a crime to get more drugs.

Senior theatre popularity growing

eniors’ Theatre groups are quickly becoming very popular throughout North America for a multitude of reasons, one of which is an increased quality of life.

PUBLIC BUDGET CONSULTATION MEETING to be held on MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2010, starting at 6:00 p.m. IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS OF MUNICIPAL HALL Council is currently considering the District’s latest financial plan/budget, including three tax increase scenarios for 2010. The three scenarios are highlighted below. The provisional tax increase scenarios total 3.48%, 3.99% and 5.01%, before providing for the major new fire service initiative which involves hiring full-time fire fighters. The increases total 5.35%, 5.86% and 6.88%, after providing for the fire fighters. As part of practicing prudent fiscal management, the District also considers the longer-term 3-year budget picture, which includes preliminary 2011 and 2012 projections, when looking at the 2010 tax increase. The longer-term outlook is also shown below. Scenario B – 5.86% Tax Increase in 2010

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

Carly Rae Jepsen sang her heart out to hometown fans Saturday at the Clarke Theatre. CAROL AUN PHOTO

At just 24 years old, Carly Rae Jepsen can sure belt out tunes. In her first concert at the Clarke Theatre Saturday, Jepsen was comfortable and confident on the stage inside her old high school. Dressed in a floral patterned top and bottom with black knee high boots, Jepsen heard shouts of “I love you” from fans throughout the night and even received a marriage proposal. The young songstress appreciated the affection and responded politely to her admirers. Jepsen is a good performer and there’s no doubt she’s learned a lot from her experiences with Canadian Idol. Jepsen can sing a range of notes and songs, and she moves about the stage with ease, with little dances and girlish wiggles.

She spoke to the audience calmly and introduced each of her songs by giving a bit of background about them. A couple of her tunes spoke about a long distance relationship, which probably didn’t go too smoothly. She also sang a song for her younger sister, who was in the audience, and wished another concertgoer a happy birthday. Jepsen was the sweet girl everyone knew she’d be. Her fans were pleased and lined up to meet the singer after the show for autographs. Jepsen has come a long way from her humble roots in Mission and there’s no doubt her music and performances will get better with experience and maturity. With her positive attitude, and an entire town behind her, it will be interesting to see how her career evolves, and where she is at in five years.

A romantic concert pairing They say the cello is the instrument that imitates the human voice most accurately. Couple that with a piano, the most popular of the instruments, and you get a timeless, traditional and appealing combination. Come experience this for yourself at the next Classical Mission Concert featuring Beth Root Sandvoss, on cello, and Elizabeth Bergmann, on piano, on Saturday, Feb. 13 at 8 p.m. at the Clarke Theatre. Sandvoss, a native of Wisconsin, toured Asia and was a member of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra before completing her musical studies at the Cleveland Institute and San Francisco. She is a member of the avant-garde Land’s End Chamber Ensemble and lives in Calgary with her luthier husband who is the creator of Sandvoss’ cello. Bergmann, also based in Calgary, divides her time between her position as direc-

tor of summer programs at Langley Community Music School and her international performing career. She also

is a member of the Land’s End Chamber Ensemble. Instead of playing their usual modern music fare, these art-

ists are presenting some of the classic works for cello and piano. From Rachmaninov’s

haunting “Vocalise” to Brahms’ passionate Sonata no. 2 (with a few more thrown in), Sandvoss and Bergmann will demonstrate the lyricism and dexterity that make their instruments so appealing. The duo will be interviewed by Classical Mission artistic director Graham Yates at the pre-concert chat at 7 p.m. the night of the concert, offering audience members a free chance to get to know the artists and ask a few questions. Tickets for the concert are $28, or $10 for students. Students who buy their own tickets pay only $5 as part of the national “eyeGO to the Arts” initiative. Tickets can be purchased at the box office by calling 604-820-3961, or at these ticket outlets: King’s Music (Abbotsford) and Murdoch’s Book Shoppe (on First Ave). • Submitted by Graham Yates

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 2010

Talented seniors try for Golden Idol ADVANCE YOUR GOALS Sometimes the sheer size of a task has a paralyzing effect on us. How do you overcome the blank page or computer screen in front of you when you know you have a twenty-page report to write? The answer is, “one word at a time.” When I was in graduate school and procrastinating getting started on my dissertation, I was effectively paralyzed by the size and scope of my task, since I knew I had to write roughly twohundred pages of scholarly material. Sensing what was going on, my advisor suggested that I write a page per day, and this advice worked wonders. I certainly couldn’t sit down and just write two hundred pages, but I could write a page a day. The moral of the story here is that doing some small bit every day to advance towards our goal will get us there, no matter how big the goal. Even the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. And you can always go one more step, which eventually gets us to our goal.

Ten seniors will be competing for the Golden Idol title. These talented performers will be taking the stage this Friday at Cedarbrooke Chateau. The event is being organized by Opening Nite Theatre in support of Friends of Community Services Week. The reigning champion from last year, Budd Webb will be attempting to repeat the title with songs and tunes from his guitar. Last year he gave a memorable rendition of I Just Don’t Look Good Naked Anymore.

Doug Harmes will sing country-style and play guitar, while Irene Yewell, who placed third in last year’s contest, will recite some poetry. A husband and wife team, Bill and Nadine Reimer, will sing and play guitar too. All these seniors, over the age of 60, will be trying to impress judges and the audience, while helping raise funds for Community Services programs, such as Seniors’ Connection, Meals on Wheels, Friendly Visitor, Medical Transportation, Income Tax

IN MEMORIAM

AMICI Emmi (Davidson) Feb. 1, 1934 ~ Jan. 27, 2009 Every time that I smile, Every time that I sigh, I think of your face, And a tear escapes my eye.

DISCRIMINATORY LEGISLATION

You were my world, My inspiration and my heart, But when you left me, I thought I would fall apart.

Advertisers are reminded that Provincial legislation forbids the publication of any advertisement which discriminates against any person because of race, religion, sex, color, nationality, ancestry or place of origin, or age, unless the condition is justified by a bona fide requirement for the work involved.

You were my friend, My one true ‘conﬁdante’, And that’s not all you were, You were also my mom. I didn’t want to live without you, But you would have wanted me to, And if there’s anyone I wanted to make happy, That anyone is you.

I would have given anything to have you back, But I know now that it was meant to be, For you are still watching from up there, And I know you’re watching me. I’ll make you proud mom, I’m going to fulﬁll your wish, You’re going to see me and smile, That’s a daughter’s promise.

B.C. to freeze MLA pay and lay off staff BY

TOM FLETCHER

Black Press

The B.C. government is handing layoff notices to 233 provincial employees in the second round of cost-cutting measures since B.C.’s deficit soared last year. Premier Gordon Campbell said Wednesday he expects the latest round of job cuts to end up similar to the 203 public service positions eliminated in September, with about half of the laid-off employees finding other work in government. After seeking vacant positions in government departments in September, only 106 of them ended up losing their jobs. Campbell also confirmed that B.C. Liberal MLAs agreed this week to forgo cost-of-living pay increases for the next two years, in keeping with a mandate for no net increase in public service wage settlements this year. “We’re in tough financial times, and that’s why we’ve said across the board, MLAs will freeze their salaries over the next couple of years, just as the public service will not have increases in salaries,” Campbell said.

ernment staff, Campbell’s deputy minister Allan Seckel said the layoffs will affect some forests ministry staff, as indicated last year by the government because of the reduction in forest industry activity. Most of the layoffs will occur in Shared Services BC, a department of the Ministry of Citizens’ Services that handles procurement of technology, accommodation and other products and services to the B.C. government. NDP leader Carole James said Wednesday she supports the idea of a two-year freeze on MLA pay. The final decision is up to a legislative committee with representatives from both parties. MLAs are currently paid a base salary of $101,859 a year, having received two cost-of-living increases since their controversial 2007 decision to raise their base pay by 29 per cent and reinstate their pension plan. The 2007 raise set the premier’s pay at 190 per cent of the basic MLA salary, bringing the current total for Campbell to about $193,000. James makes 150 per cent of the basic MLA salary, the same as a cabinet minister.
