Public opinions vary on spending Water and sewer rates climbing 15 and 10 per cent in coming tax year BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Mission councillors heard various opinions on how to spend taxpayers’ money in 2011. Some residents lined up at the microphone Monday night to encourage council to keep cutting until there is a zero per cent increase in

property taxes, while others encouraged council to spend where necessary. Mission’s director of finance Ken Bjorgaard presented the four tax scenarios of 5.4 per cent, 4.66 per cent, 3.88 per cent and 3.5 per cent at the beginning of the meeting. The highest proposed rate translates to $50.67 for the average assessed home valued at $393,000. The increase is $38.64 at 4.66 per cent, $25.91 at 3.88 per cent and $19.74 at 3.5 per cent. Library taxes are increasing by $2.89 for each property and homeowners using municipal utilities will pay an extra $89.32, which breaks down into a 15 per cent increase in water user rates and a 10 per cent increase in sewer rates.

The full budget scenario includes hiring an extra police officer dedicated to domestic violence cases and a second assistant fire chief. Some speakers questioned the need for more police officers because of a declining crime rate, but others were surprised a domestic violence coordinator didn’t already exist. “It’s a necessary enhancement [to the police],” said Pam Willis, executive director of the Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley (WRSFV). “It should’ve happened a long time ago.” See MAKE Page 3

Deroche parents plead case BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

Closing Deroche Elementary School would eliminate one of the rural community’s social gathering hubs, parents told school board trustees last Wednesday. “We rely on each other ... we rely on our school,” explained Richelle Meneghetti, Deroche PAC chair. That sentiment was echoed by numerous speakers last week when the public meeting was held at the school as Mission Public Schools considers closing Deroche and Durieu elementary. “Shutting down our school is like shutting down our community.” Alisha Trottier has a daughter in Grade 1 and two sons attending an early learning program offered in the school. “If it wasn’t for the StrongStart program here at Deroche, none of us parents would have known that we all lived within five minutes of each other. That’s one of the downsides of living in a rural community,” she said. “We don’t have any other common ground except Deroche elementary.” Declining enrolment is the main argument used to justify closing the school, however, several parents said the numbers used are flawed and lacked community knowledge. Baragar, an independent company, ran the enrolment projections and estimated there are 41 children zero to four years old in Deroche’s catchment area. The PAC says there are 51, including 20 from the nearby Leq’a:mel First Nation. Baragar estimates enrolment will total 64 students in 2015/2016 but parents say their research shows an estimated 74 children will be at the school four years from now, which is

higher than Deroche’s current student total. “This leads us to wonder why our estimated enrolment is decreasing when it should be increasing,” said Meneghetti. “Looking at the Baragar projections we have found that they are assumptions without local knowledge, supporting trends like women under 20 years of age and women over 34 years of age are not within child-bearing years.” However, she continued, a neighbour had a child at 16 and the 35-year-old PAC treasurer is expecting a baby shortly. “Can anyone really accurately predict who is moving into a community? Who is moving out? How many teens are using precautions properly or how many 35-40 year olds decide to have just one more?” Meneghetti asked. The school board presentation kicked off the evening and noted approximately $288,500 would be saved by closing the school. Parents challenged that number and listed

some of the new costs and loss of grants which cut away at the potential savings. A new bus route could cost upwards of $50,000, and the district would lose the $157,500 small community grant currently paid by the Ministry of Education if the school closed, said Meneghetti.

Important dates • Written submissions and/or requests to make a presentation to the board on Feb. 22 must be received by Feb. 5. • Regular board of education meeting, Feb. 15, 6:30 p.m., Hatzic elementary. • Trustees will decide which, if any, of the schools will close at a Feb. 22 meeting at Hatzic secondary school, 7 p.m. Written submissions regarding the closure must be sent to the secretary-treasurer or superintendent by Feb. 8.

Make business decisions to cut taxes: Barker From PUBLIC Page 1

WRSFV is the primary responder for battered women in Mission and Abbotsford, Willis added. “In communities where there is a domestic violence coordinator or unit, it makes a huge difference. Somebody takes the files, follows through with them and works with allied agencies.” In Abbotsford, where there is a coordinator, there are also more convictions, she noted. The coordinator can also build trust and bridge the gap between women and police. “Only 30 per cent of women will ever only have contact with

police now,” she said. “Even if you don’t go for the full budget, this isn’t something you should drop.” A number of people also spoke against implementing a $10 per player fee for minor sports athletes using district sports fields, a new revenue suggestion in order to bring taxes down to the lowest 3.5 per cent. “I don’t think you should be taxing kids,” said Shannon Hick. “It’s too high already.” Harpreet Grewal was concerned the fee would be short-term revenue for the district and might not be beneficial. “We try hard to get kids active and this can be another barrier,”

he said. Willis added this move would violate the district’s commitment to a healthy community, and Shelley Clarkson said investing in kids will make a difference down the line when it comes to social and family relationships. Larry Nundal and Sonja Barker suggested cutting non-core services from the district’s budget, such as Restorative Resolutions. “You have to make a business decision to slash taxes,” said Barker, who also suggested reduced library operating hours. “Taxes are higher than the increase in the cost of living.” Nundal criticized the district’s increase in spending in various de-

partments over the last six years, such as corporate administration (36 per cent increase), engineering and public works (34 per cent) and payroll (41 per cent). As a volunteer with Restorative Resolutions, Ali Kia believes the program is working and notes if jail time can be avoided for just one youth, it would save taxpayers thousands of dollars a year. “Everyone expects you to work like a company, but you’re really a social enterprise,” said Kia. “Maybe you need to increase spending in economically difficult times in order to plan for the future.” Budget discussions return to council chambers Feb. 7 at 6:30 p.m.

There could be a new place for friends to meet and pedestrians to rest downtown by year’s end. The district wants to create a town square near Grand Street and the junction of First Avenue and Lougheed Highway to help stimulate growth in the municipality’s core. It’s one of council’s strategic goals, said Mayor James Atebe, who also added the project has been discussed for years. “What I love about this is it’s city property,” offered Coun. Paul Horn. “I go downtown many times and never thought of this area, but it makes sense. For many people this is the gateway to downtown.” Coun. Heather Stewart was impressed with staff’s creativity in the project, but not all councillors were pleased with the presentation. “I was disappointed when I saw this,” said Coun. Danny Plecas. “A town square is critical, but ... I think the location has [traffic] problems.” It should be a pedestrian area, he added. Coun. Terry Gidda envisioned a gathering place closer to the middle of the business centre. “Maybe on James or Welton,” he suggested. We’ve known for years this area needs something, said Horn. “This can be done now.” “If we start in the middle, we need to acquire land,” Atebe pointed out. The proposed square is nearly 700 sq. m and would not interfere with businesses during construction. Mission’s planning director, Sharon Fletcher, suggested traffic concerns could be dealt with through the square’s design. If council approves a design by the end of March, construction could finish before the end of June. Council voted 4-1 to proceed with the plans last Monday, with Plecas opposing. Couns. Mike Scudder and Jenny Stevens were absent from the meeting.

There were no injuries after a train smashed into a semi-trailer last Wednesday afternoon in Mission. According to Asst. Fire Chief Larry Watkinson, the truck was loaded with concrete slabs and became high-centered when trying to cross the tracks south of McLean Street. The arms came down while the truck was trying to move and the driver jumped away before the train hit the vehicle, which was launched approximately 200 metres down the track. The slabs flew off the trailer like “frisbees” and destroyed a small outbuilding nearby which brought down high-voltage lines. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Mounties arrested four Mission residents suspected of selling drugs on the street and supplying drugs in exchange for stolen property last Friday. All four were taken into custody after police searched two homes, one in the 7700 block of Pintail Street and the other in the 33700 block of First Avenue, and located a quantity of meth and oxycodone and $1,000 in cash. All four suspects were working together, said Mission RCMP Sgt. Miriam Dickson.

Dave Hair, 40, is charged with trafficking cocaine and meth; Dennis Wood, 53, and Cathy Horvath, 38, are each charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking meth and oxycodone; and Robert Hoysather is charged with trafficking cocaine and meth. Police began their investigation in November, said Dickson. Mission RCMP’s street crime unit and crime reduction unit worked together to identify the individuals involved and the search warrants were executed with assistance from the Lower Mainland’s Emergency Response Team.

Stolen puppies Police are asking anyone with information about two missing golden retriever lab puppies to give them a call. The six-week old puppies were taken from their home in the 35100 block of Youngston Road between Jan. 25 and the early hours of Jan. They were inside an unlocked shed in the backyard of the residence when they were taken, said Sgt. Miriam Dickson. Anyone with information is asked to call Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161.

Mission Fire/Rescue Service was called to a Starling Avenue home just after 7:30 a.m. Friday and arrived to see dark gray smoke billowing from the windows of the residence. Fire investigators were not able to determine an ignition source, according to Asst. Chief Larry Watkinson, however the fire was caused when “explosive vapours” caught fire. The blaze was contained to the basement. Mission RCMP were called to the house but did not provide details by press time. JASON ROESSLE PHOTO

OPINION

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

Pause for thought For the people of Haiti, there is little hope to cling to. It’s been one year since a 7.0-magnitude earthquake brought this nation to its knees. Billions of dollars have been pledged to help the country get back on its feet, but by all accounts, the country still can’t get a foothold. From Haiti’s grim cholera-ridden streets, we in Mission should have a new appreciation for what we have, especially for the basics of food, water, shelter, health care and well-run government. Reconstruction of the country is moving in slow motion. Haiti’s centralized government has hampered efforts of local authorities. Only five per cent of the rubble in the Haitian capital of Portau-Prince has been cleared since the earthquake, a troubling statistic illustrating little progress has been made. Haiti was already a nation on the brink of disaster before the earthquake hit. According to Canadian officials, 85 per cent of its citizens lived in abject poverty before the quake. Only one in five had access to clean water. After the earth shook, 30 hospitals were destroyed. Three out of four medical schools were levelled, as was the nation’s largest nursing hospital. Haitians training at these facilities were killed. Add hurricanes, disease and political instability to the mix, and the devastation is worse than most war zones. There are stories of progress, but they’re coming at a glacial pace. Yet there are enough glimmers of hope that the Haitian people haven’t given up on their nation. It’s a sombre situation that offers us plenty of reasons to pause and be grateful for what we have in Canada.

B.C. retreats on education G

uess who said this last week: “We want to reward good teachers and stop making excuses for bad ones.” It wasn’t the Fraser Institute, which is about to release its latest rankings based on foundation skills assessment (FSA) tests in B.C. schools. It was U.S. President Barack Obama, in his state of the union address. He was talking about Race to the Top, a federal bonus program he called “the most meaningful reform of our public schools in a generation.” “To all 50 states, we said, ‘If you show us the most innovative plans to improve teacher quality and student achievement, we’ll show you the money.’” B.C., meanwhile, is going backwards. After years of B.C. Teachers’ Federation sabotage of skills testing, the essential mechanism for any improvement in education techniques, the B.C. Principals’ and Vice-Principals’ Association abruptly surrendered a couple of weeks ago. The tests aren’t flawed, association president Jameel

Aziz admitted, but they have been “successfully undermined” by the BCTF. Aziz listed three reasons for abandoning FSA tests. Two of them are factually wrong. He claimed that after years of BCTF disruption tactics, participation has fallen below 50 per cent in some districts. Ministry records show the lowest participation was 62 per cent, last year in the Vancouver school district. The proTo vincial average was 83 per cent, despite letters sent home by teacher union locals telling parents the tests are bad and suggesting they find some excuse for their kids to skip them. Aziz also blamed the Fraser Institute for its “misuse” of FSA data that “does not reflect the many unique challenges faced by individual schools, nor does it credit the many unique successes of individual schools.” Wrong again, says Peter

Cowley, the Fraser Institute’s director of school performance studies. He notes that the rankings track local factors such as parental income and the proportion of English as a second language or special needs. “We’re hunting for schools that have shown that they are actually improving,” as well as those that are slipping, Cowley said. Critics like to set up a straw man by comparing schools in rich urban areas with poor, remote m schools. That’s “misuse,” designed to discredit the rankings and the tests. Parents should start by looking at the performance of their own school over five years. Is it getting better or worse? Rural parents can look at similar regions of B.C. and see if comparable schools are doing better. All parents can ask is what extra help their children are getting to improve their individual areas of weakness. Aziz claimed that “some

B.C. Views

Fletcher

in government” have suggested FSA tests be replaced. Well, rookie cabinet minister Moira Stilwell has. For a more informed view, here’s Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid in an open letter to parents: “The push by the BCTF to end the FSAs is political. It’s about hiding information you, as parents, have a right to know about your child’s education and future.” Leadership candidate George Abbott made vague noises about supplementing FSA tests. Here is one change he could consider. The tests measure reading, writing and arithmetic skills at Grades 4 and 7. They track the individual student’s performance, as well as that of the team of teachers he or she has had to that point. Additional measurements could give a clearer picture of the performance of each teacher. Then Falcon’s merit pay idea could be implemented.

YOUR VIEWS Gov’t should ensure seniors are cared for

Multicultural ideal of Canada is being ‘destroyed’ by gov’t action

Editor, The Record: While some politicians profess many ideas are not attainable at their level of politics, costs are paid for at community level, as all taxpayers electing representatives are the same people. Apathy has prevailed. Low voter turnout and disenfranchisement among voters are factors that must be overcome in order to get more people out to vote. Some important steps need to be taken such as: Renew organization memberships, revitalize leadership and create renewed enthusiasm. This may mean cleaning house at each non-profit organization and level of government. It is crucial that all politicians recognize and treat seniors with respect and kindness, to make their continued existence in the workforce or volunteering as gainful and productive as possible. Specifically, this is what I believe needs to happen: 1. B.C. must roll back senior care home costs recently imposed. 2. Homeowner grants must be significantly increased, at least tripled in amounts to assist seniors to keep family homes. 3. Pension entitlement determination must be vastly improved in that should a person attaining 65 years continue to work, at lower income, their entitlement dwindles significantly. 4. Income tax deductions for pensions received must be increased from $1,000.00 (provincially) and $2,000 (federally), to at least $ 10,000 each. 5. Funding taken away from non-profits and seniors must be restored and increased. This November is our first opportunity to elect a more responsive municipal council, and eliminate the entitlement era to encourage a renewal of dedication and commitment to service in the platform of candidates seeking our important votes. George Evens Mission

Editor, The Record: In the unlikely event I would ever need an epithet it should be the title of a small booklet of quotes that fits my philosophy perfectly: Screw Calm and Get Angry. Like the introduction to the booklet says, “You may very well find that getting your dander up might be the only way to get things changed around here.” My dander is well and truly up with yet another appeasement being pushed on us because some academics have decided our native communities can put commercial and residential units on reserve land and extend to non-natives the same tax-free status the natives receive. A sweetheart deal and reverse racism all rolled up into one which in the end will only defeat the notion of bringing the native

communities into equality with Canadian society. In theory, this deal will give them independence, but that’s not totally true as we taxpayers will still foot the bill. We’ll do it through paying municipal taxes to subsidize those non-natives living on the reserve for roads, policing, schools, hospitals, etc. I do not support aboriginal title. I do not support this insane ranking by “blood” who is native. Nor do I support this notion the rest of us have to constantly sit quietly while political correctness runs amok and chokes off any discussion about the unfairness of the very idea that one group is more special than others. What I do support is the equality of every Canadian regardless of race or creed. So for me the extinguishment of aboriginal title is a given, with or without the consent of native groups. Because only when they have ex-

actly the same rights and obligations as the rest of us, will the natives ever be seen and accepted as equals by Canadian society. If I sound harsh and unkind it’s because a united Canada is far too important to me to sit back and let it be carved up into a patch work quilt. The multicultural ideal is being destroyed by not just the concept of aboriginal entitlement but by government actively promoting the establishment of ethnic enclaves across the country for all the recent immigrant groups. If we don’t drop the bleeding heart act, this country is hooped. In the immortal words of my epitaph, screw calm and get angry as this issue is too important to be left in the hands of politicians. Robert T. Rock Mission

Coroner’s inquest must happen Editor, The Record: The tragic murders of Sept. 18, 2008 on Shaw Road reinforces the need for a coroner’s inquest. I do not think there is a person familiar with this case who does not believe that Lisa Dudley would be alive if the RCMP had done their job. She sat for four days fighting for her life and no one investigated the shots fired 911 call placed by a neighbour that night. She was eventually found by the neighbours. Even though it was originally reported an inquest would be held, I have this uncomfortable feeling that it won’t.

We now find out that Const./Cpl. Mike White thought this 911 call was apparently funny and laughed about it to the 911 operator. Wow, wonder what it takes to consider taking a “shots fired” call seriously? The RCMP have apparently issued a “recommendation” that all “shots fired” calls are to be treated as a priority. Makes one wonder why that is even necessary. “Shots fired” sounds pretty important to me. You also have to wonder what the previous recommendation was. Maybe “if you get time” or “if you see a body.” I am not sure if the “operational guidance” helped Mike White or not, but what

I do know is that the RCMP involved certainly need some sensitivity training along with a serious upgrade on how to do their job. If this case had been treated in a professional manner, Lisa’s parents would not have had to bury their daughter and very possibly the bad guys would have been caught. The bottom line is that the RCMP did not do their job and Lisa paid the price. This whole case cries out for a coroner’s inquest. If it does not happen, that just makes these murders all the more tragic. J. Pratt Mission

A re-organization plan at the Fraser Valley Regional District that includes a â&#x20AC;&#x153;more equitableâ&#x20AC;? funding formula was discussed during an in-camera board meeting last Tuesday night. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear if the final plan expected next month will contain enough to keep the City of Abbotsford from leaving the FVRD to set up its own regional government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve embarked upon a journey, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a final destination in mind,â&#x20AC;? Abbotsford Mayor George Peary said Wednesday after the in-camera meeting.

The city may yet decide to remain within the FVRD, he said. Mission Mayor James Atebe and Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz said a â&#x20AC;&#x153;more equitableâ&#x20AC;? funding formula was being worked out by FVRD staff long before the issue became public when the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce put out a news release claiming the city was not getting good value for taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dollars at the regional district. The regional district was restructured 15 years ago and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been a review into how it was working. Abbotsfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns initiated the recent review, and our community was in favour of it because

we wanted to see if we were getting value for our money, said Atebe. The review was done in closed meetings because in order to do a comprehensive assessment everything had to be looked at, including staffing resources, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very surprised to come back from holidays to see this being discussed in an open meeting.â&#x20AC;? Atebe believes Abbotsfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s threat to withdraw from the regional district was premature as a strong case hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been made. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They knew the review was coming and they made the request before the review came out,â&#x20AC;? said Atebe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Abbotsford is being

treated unfairly ... thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ways that will come up to deal with that,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll deal with it and figure out how we can make [the formula] more applicable for Abbotsford.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay, we will recover,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we may not be able to do things the same way.â&#x20AC;? She said some â&#x20AC;&#x153;downsizingâ&#x20AC;? at the FVRD may occur, but staff have now been advised and are â&#x20AC;&#x153;working hard to get ready in case it does happen.â&#x20AC;? The Chilliwack-based FVRD, which delivers services from Abbotsford to Boston Bar, had a $6-million payroll in 2009. Abbotsford paid $2.5 million into FVRD

tax requisitions in 2010, while Chilliwack paid $1.8 million and Hope paid $1.2 million. Mission was the fourthlargest contributor at $818,000. The Abbotsford chamber is arguing the city is paying the lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of service costs delivered to â&#x20AC;&#x153;free ridersâ&#x20AC;? in rural areas of the region. But Gaetz said that over the past year the regional district â&#x20AC;&#x153;has been looking at operations to make sure [the funding formula] is equitable to everyone,â&#x20AC;? a sentiment reinforced by area G director Al Stobbart. She said the FVRD review may include benefits the Abbotsford Chamber did not consider, like the regional role played in the protection of air quality, transportation improvements and treaty talks.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the whole idea of the regional district, to do things together that you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do separately,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Abbotsford has really benefitted â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and we have benefitted from having Abbotsford at the [FVRD] board.â&#x20AC;? Also the regional district was instrumental in helping Abbotsford build a regional hospital and cancer clinic, said Atebe. FVRD board vicechair Chuck Stam said he believes most board members will be pleased with the final plan, which will include cost-saving measures like cutting the number of committees to avoid duplication of services. He said the review recognizes regional governments â&#x20AC;&#x153;must change or become irrelevantâ&#x20AC;? and the FVRD must deal

with the same recessionary pressures faced by businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The government is just a little slower,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They cannot just grow eternally and never have to make cuts.â&#x20AC;? From Pearyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view, that only makes sense as it was Chilliwack that asked Abbotsford to join the new regional district to ease the costs it was paying as the largest municipality in the old Fraser Cheam Regional District. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was politically an astute move on the part of [then-mayor] John Les,â&#x20AC;? he said. Peary said he was one of the architects of the FVRD formed 16 years ago by the merger of several regional districts in the Fraser Valley. He said Abbotsford once formed the nucleus of the Central Fraser Valley Regional District after Langley and Langley Township left to join the Greater Vancouver Regional District. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With files from Carol Aun

Gipps brings wealth of admin experience BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

The district’s new deputy chief administrative officer is excited to be a part of Mission and looks forward to helping the community grow in the next decade. “Mission is a big community, geographically,” said Paul Gipps, who started the position in late December. “It’s very dynamic.” Gipps is still learning about Mission and catching up on issues, but he believes downtown has tremendous potential and adds to the community. As deputy CAO, his role includes overseeing several departments, such as inspection services, human resources, corporate administration and RCMP, communicating with the media and coordinating legal services. “I’m a doer,” he said. “I like seeing things happen and helping the community achieve goals.” A key element in attaining success is through communication and the way service is delivered,

according to Gipps. “I got into government because when I was in construction, I didn’t have a good experience with local governments,” said Gipps. “I wanted to make a difference.” Customers may not like the message, but it should still be delivered through good customer service, said Gipps, who is impressed Mission holds that paramount in the way it does business. Gipps grew up in Kemano, a small town south of Kitimat and embraced outdoor living at a young age, learning to hunt and fish. He first came to the Lower Mainland for high school because school in Kemano topped out at Grade 8, said Gipps. After finishing high school, he joined the construction industry and worked as a journeyman carpenter for 10 years before becoming a building inspector. In 1990, he took a job with the City of Terrace and ran that department together with bylaws, animal control and planning. Gipps returned to school for a diploma in

public administration and was promoted to deputy CAO in Terrace. In 2004, Gipps became CAO in Houston, B.C. He stayed there for three years before moving to Gibsons where he worked as the town’s CAO for 3.5 years. “[Mission] is where I want to be,” said Gipps. Besides spending time with family, he also enjoys playing badminton, hockey, rebuilding an old 1966 mustang and travelling.

Mission’s Dr. Bill Tyler speaks to some of the young people during one of his previous expeditions to Zambia. SUBMITTED PHOTO

FREE SIGHT TESTING

Dinner supports program When a Mission dentist and a group of Mission Rotary volunteers head off to Ndola, Zambia at the end of February, they will be setting up a permanent dental clinic for HIV infected orphans at Grace Academy and for nearby residents. It is a long way from Dr. Bill Tyler’s first trip to a third world country in the early 1990s when he and his wife, Dr. Gloria Tyler, performed dentistry from roughly constructed chairs, using one power drill and only the most rudimentary equipment. Since then, with the help of Mission Sunrise Rotary Club, Tyler and Dr. Stan Soon have taken their mobile dentistry to Zambia, Thailand and Ecuador.

This move to setting up a permanent clinic is one Tyler believes will make it more enticing for additional dentists to provide this volunteer service. Tyler’s relationship with Third World dentistry began with sending toothbrushes to Nicaragua with a patient who spent half of his time building homes in that country and the other half raising money for his volunteer work. Eventually the Tylers went along to Nicaragua, working with primitive equipment and power sources. After one such trip, Tyler was asked to speak to the Mission Sunrise Rotary Club. The members were moved and asked how they could help. This partnership

The Bah Faith “The man who makes a piece of notepaper to the best of his Let your hearts be Àlled with the great love of God, ability, conscientiously, concentrating all his forces on let it be felt by all; for every man is a servant of God, perfecting it, is giving praise to God. Briefly, all effort and and all are entitled to a share of the Divine Bounty. exertion put forth by man from the fullness of his heart is worship, if it is prompted by the highest motives and the will to do service to humanity.”

provided the Tylers funding for the trips and helped them gain financial and volunteer support. Tyler became a Rotarian, and since then, the dental trip has been the club’s major international project with the two Mission dentists providing the leadership and training of the volunteers to assist. When asked why Tyler supports this project year after year, he simply said, “Because I can, and because I should.” The club has donated funds and received matching grants from District 5050 Rotary and the International Rotary Foundation. Rotary vol-

unteers pay their own costs and use vacation time to help the 100 orphans living at Grace Academy, along with children from the surrounding area. In order to maximize the matching grants available, the Rotary Club needs to raise an additional $2,000. The community can help make this project a reality by supporting the “Into Africa” spaghetti dinner on Feb. 19 at All Saints Anglican Church. Tickets are $25 and available at Murdoch’s Book Shoppe and from Rotarians. For more information call 604-302-2005.

Iliah and Kiana give their grandfather, Heinz Hardt a hug during Grandparents’ Day, held at Valley Christian School Jan. 21. The event featured classes singing special numbers, performing a puppet show and doing special recitations for their grandparents.

Two B.C. Liberal leadership candidates have called for changes to province-wide testing for elementary school children, after the head of the B.C. Principals’ and Vice Principals’ Association joined the B.C. Teachers’ Federation in rejecting the current test program. Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) tests are currently being administered across the province to Grade 4 and 7 students, to measure reading, writing and number skills. The BCTF has fought against the tests for years, with teachers

are progressing,” Abbott said in interview. He stopped short of calling for the FSA tests to be scrapped and replaced with new tests, as leadership rival and former advanced education minister Moira Stilwell suggested last week. “It seems clear to me that FSA is no longer the appropriate test,” Stilwell said. Jameel Aziz, president of the BCPVPA, issued a statement last week that said the FSA has too much “political baggage.” Aziz said the problem is not flaws in the tests, but the time spent by administrators responding to questions from parents who get conflicting messages from the ministry and teachers. This results in students either not taking the tests, or not trying as hard as they should.

refusing to mark them and lobbying parents to exclude their children. Shuswap MLA George Abbott, who was briefly education minister before running to succeed Premier Gordon Campbell, said skills assessment tests are important. He suggested the testing regime could be modified to make it work better. “There is not an appropriate alternative to it at this point, but I do think that there is much merit in exploring how we could either supplement or improve FSA testing, to ensure that parents get the best possible understanding of how well their children

Province prepares for HST decision BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Jim Dinning admits itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ironic for a former Alberta finance minister to be asked to weigh the merits of B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two choices for sales taxes. But now out of politics and serving as chancellor of the University of Calgary, Dinning is chairing an independent review panel to compare the harmonized sales tax with B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former provincial sales tax before a referendum on the HST

later this year. Also named to the panel are former B.C. auditor-general George Morfitt, Simon Fraser University professor John Richards and Tracie Redies, CEO of Coast Capital Savings. Their report is due April 1, and will make no recommendation on either the HST or the PST, Dinning told Black Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Polling showed that people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel they have all the facts they need, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re look-

ing for an independent source rather than just the government information source,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Canadian Taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation is making a recommendation to voters: keep the HST and demand a lower rate to reflect the broader base of the new sales tax. Gregory Thomas, the CTFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communications director for B.C., says voting â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? in the referendum would kill off the â&#x20AC;&#x153;63-year-old relicâ&#x20AC;? of the PST. He argues that the federal government

reduced the Goods and Services Tax from seven to five per cent, and B.C. could do the same. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here in B.C. the government could have introduced the HST at a lower rate,â&#x20AC;? Thomas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instead they chose to create an expensive and confusing ratâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maze of exemptions, credits and loopholes for special interests, and pay for it by charging ordinary taxpayers an exorbitant seven-per-cent HST rate.â&#x20AC;? Thomas noted that if the HST rate were low-

ered, credits paid to a million low-income B.C. residents would also come down. For special interests, he cited home builders, who benefit from HST credits and also successfully lobbied the province to raise the exemption for new home construction to $525,000. Resale housing is not subject to HST. The B.C. government also launched a new website at www.hstinbc.ca to offer videos and answers to frequently asked questions about the change from PST to GST.

One win, two losses for HPSS in tourney BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

Heritage Park’s senior girls basketball team should be climbing in the standings after last weekend’s tournament, said coach Frank Chan. The local AAA girls team hosted the Bagpipe Invitational and earned a win and two losses against tough teams. The Highlanders pulled off a win against the provincially ranked number three team, the Riverside Rapids, 71-63, in a hard-fought game Friday night that included an impressive half-court basket by Erin Chambers in the last second of the first half. She tallied 32 points in that game, with Cassie Micona right behind her with 28, burying six of nine attempts from outside the three-point line, said Chan.

The rest of the weekend didn’t roll out the same. The girls faced Holy Cross Saturday morning, the number two ranked AA team, and lost that contest by four points. The final game of the weekend put the Highlanders up against Handsworth, and Chan said the Mission girls simply ran out of steam. Heritage was up 50-49 with three minutes to go, but lost 62-51. “The kids battled really hard and it’s good to see we’re getting better,” he said. The weekend was a good test for Heritage, noted the coach, as the majority of the games played so far haven’t been close. The Handsworth match showed Chan the team needs to work on keeping the intensity up in the final minutes.

Brown earns second Canadian boxing title Cody Brown became a twotime Canadian champion when he won a gold medal at the Canadian Junior Nationals in St. Hyacinthe, Que. last week. Only three people competed in Brown’s weight division, as many chose to fight in a higher or lower class to avoid boxing the defending champion, said coach Dale Gatin.

Brown earned a bye in the first bout and then fought Sheldon Wilcox from Hamilton, Ont. for the championship. Last year, Wilcox also won gold in his weight division. Brown and Gatin watched Wilcox box the day before the bout and formulated a game plan that would see the Mission fighter get inside and use his

stronger punching to eliminate the Ontarian. When the match began, Wilcox started with a stick-andmove strategy against Brown, said Gatin. Brown cut off the ring and landed several combinations to the body and head, which staggered Wilcox, and forced the referee to give a standing eight count. By the end of the first

round, Brown was up 5-0. Brown came out aggressively in the second, putting a left hook to Wilcox. In the middle of the second round, the score was 12-1 for Brown. Wilcox’s corner threw in the towel a few moments later. Brown’s gold medal added to the team’s overall haul of two golds, four silvers and a bronze.

ne of the many things I learned in my years as a youth fly fishing club coach and coordinator is the value of an objective. It is often an objective that can make the difference between a pipe dream and a plan. People will often talk in fantasy about fishing more often, taking a class, catching a trophy fish, winning a championship, or involving the family. Success in these areas of sport fishing goes to the achievers, the people who take the steps necessary to move past daydreaming to doing. This takes time and commitment.

In the 32nd chapter of Genesis, there is an intriguing account of a wrestling match between Jacob and God, or possibly an angel of God. Jacob wrestles with God all night long, and at dawn, Jacob is told that he shall henceforth be called Israel, for “you have striven with God and with many men, and have prevailed” (Genesis 32.28). While the import of this story isn’t altogether clear, it is clear enough that Jacob’s striving with God is seen as a good thing. Another Old Testament figure who struggles with God only argumentatively, his case against God is a pretty good one. By God’s own admission, Job is the most upright man on earth, and yet, God allows Satan to take everything from Job, including his property, his family and even his health, over a wager with Satan. And thus Job calls God to account for this. The very fact that the Book of Job is in the Bible seemingly attests to the fact that God admires those who would question and challenge Him. The standard, “pious” interpretation of the Book of Job is that Job never questions his faith in God, but patiently endures the many afflictions sent his way. However, careful reading of this challenging book actually reveals that the majority of the book is devoted to Job challenging God’s justice, and as it were, wrestling with God. Sometimes, our prayers can be a challenge to God - and God is alright with that. He’s certainly big enough to handle any challenge.

Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. — R.S.V. Job 7.11

Facts about garbage Don’t litter, encourages Adopt-A-Block Society

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

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

1. Fast food and litter Fast food items are the second most commonly littered item found in the environment. The amount of fast food packaging found alongside roads, in parks and water ways is on the increase and continues to rise. Fast food litter items are associated with a variety of sources that include fast food businesses, sporting events, community events, convenience store litter, night life litter, car traffic and other. It is necessary for the public to take responsibility for the correct disposal of their litter, and the most effective way to tackle problems created by irresponsible disposal of food on the go is to stop people from dropping it in the first place.
