Thousands watch the torch run on Jack Poole Day BY

Mission Record

Thousands of people joined in the singing of O’Canada as the Olympic flame was passed from one torch to another early Monday morning.

Mission’s Margaret Kreick took centre stage as her torch was lit and the previous one extinguished.

She dashed off the stage and continued the flame’s journey with a street full of supporters cheering her on.

Still standing on stage after Krieck’s de-

parture were Premier Gordon Campbell and VANOC CEO John Furlong, who were in Mission to welcome the flame.

Campbell, full of energy and enthusiasm before sunrise, led the crowd in a chant of Go Canada Go! Both he and Furlong spoke highly of Jack Poole and agreed the energy buzzing that morning was a great way to honour the man who was instrumental in bringing the Olympics to B.C. Earlier this year the district declared Feb. 8 would be Jack Poole Day. Poole was a man who brought so much to the province and his community, said Mayor James

Atebe.

Although Poole was a business man in Vancouver, and Mission was his home. It was his sanctuary and he liked nothing more than to spend time here, in his home, with his family.

He was also a visionary who was instrumental in promoting the Olympics.

Having the day named after him is an honour, said his wife Darlene, who was also at the early morning celebrations.

In addition to honouring Poole with a special day, Mayor James Atebe also announced See TORCH Page 3

More theft at landfill

Treat your

BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

About $10,000 worth of commercial vehicle batteries were stolen from the Mission landfill last week.

On Feb. 3, police responded to the call at 32000 Dewdney Trunk Rd and found the batteries were cut and removed from six commercial vehicles, damage totalling about $3,000. It was then also reported another theft had taken place earlier involving 12 commercial vehicle batteries.

Theft is an ongoing problem, said Mike Younie, Mission’s manager of environmental services department, which looks after the landfill.

Whether it’s for aesthetic purposes, or to protect the car’s interior from the sun, tinting car windows seems to be a common look for vehicles today.

Darkening the back windows are allowed, but tinting the front driver and passenger windows with a film is illegal, says RCMP Cpl. Sharon Siluch.

The lack of visibility in the front possess a safety risk for pedestrians and police officers.

Police need to be able to see who’s inside, and what’s going on inside a vehicle they’ve pulled over, explained Siluch. A tinted window also makes it more difficult for drivers to make eye contact with pedestrians crossing the street, and other drivers at an intersection. If people can’t see the driver, they don’t know if the driver sees them, said Siluch.

The film also compromises the integrity of the glass, making it a safety issue for those inside the vehicle as well.

front windows after a vehicle is purchased, Motor Vehicle Act regulations allows a manufacturer to darken the windows. The difference is when someone does it after the vehicle is purchased, a film is added, but when it is done by the manufacturer, the glass is dyed and the colour is a part of the window.

According to police, it’s easy to tell whether a window is tinted with film, or by the manufacturer. The effects are different.

Dyed glass is very expensive and people rarely get it done said Const.

Claude Fortier from the Mission RCMP traffic section.

The tint is lighter, and still poses a risk to officer and pedestrian safety, but integrity of the glass isn’t compromised, he explained.

Anyone caught with a film added tint to the front windows of their vehicle can be issued a ticket for $109, and ordered to have it removed. You have 15 days to take the proper actions, otherwise if caught a second time, you could be faced with a $598 fine and have your vehicle towed for not meeting regulations.

licence plates, but those usually turn out to be stolen vehicles, said Younie.

Police walked around the site last summer and made recommendations to improve security, but Younie admits the best option is simply to have a caretaker living onsite.

However, that isn’t likely to happen soon.

The police have also stepped up their presence in the area, Younie added, noting they make it a point to stop there and check on it at night.

There are also residents who keep an eye on local activities as well.

and scrap metal mostly, he added, noting thieves have cut through the gates, and even the bright lights don’t deter them.

The district has had to change the way it operates there, such as crushing the scrap metal every day, making it harder to take out, and emptying the bin every few days instead of every few months.

When there is a large project at the landfill requiring more machinery, the district will hire security to keep an eye on the extra equipment. Currently, there are more machines on site because the wetlands project is underway, but it’s up to the hired contracted company to look after their tools.

Poole passed away last October, and his legacy, the Games, are just coming to life.

By 5:30 a.m., the streets were already lined on First Avenue from Murray to Grand, with not much room to move.

The Masih family was dressed in patriotic colours and cheering as loudly as they could. Ten-year-old Luke, and eight-year-old Caleb jumped out of bed and couldn’t wait to get to the event, said their dad Clive.

“This is a once in a lifetime experience and they have caught the Olympic spirit,” he added, The boys sat down and spent a lot of time making a poster to cheer on their home team, said mom Aruna, noting the brothers would have enough time to get ready for school after the celebration.

Bands from Hatzic and Mission Secondary schools provided entertainment for the crowd, alongg with Carlyy Rae Jepsen who sang a few numbers on stage as well as the national anthem.

The Olympic torch came to Mission from Abbotsford, and continued on to Maple Ridge, Langley and Surrey on day 104 of the relay.

The torch will rest after 108 days of being on the road in Vancouver on Friday, when the Vancouver winter Olympics begins, and the torch is used to light the Olympic cauldron.

Tamara Alves, a Grade 1/2 class teacher at the school, signed her class up for the Fin’s Friends program, and was selected to receive a visit from the hockey team’s mascot.

The program aims to build character in students, teaching them about life skills and responsible bahaviour.

Students in the class were dressed in their favourite Canucks jerseys, tshirts and hats as they greeted Fin and listened to their teacher read a story called Wolf!

The book is about perseverance, explained Alves.

After the story was finished, Fin, who cannot speak, led the class in some discussions about what they just heard. He wrote questions and answers on a white board and captured the attentions of the little ones.

He also answered questions about what he does and played some games with the class.

Before he left, he presented the students with some gifts and had his picture taken with each one.

Creating a new downtown brand

‘Defining culture’ the new tagline BY

NEIL CORBETT

Mission Record

The company with branding downtown Mission has put its ideas on the table, and the Downtown Business Association is impressed.

“It’s fresh and new, and they have a host of ideas,” said DBA president Bob Mackovic. “It has taken years to get to this point.”

The company Relevention Marketing Solutions of Abbotsford has polled downtown merchants, asking what the downtown means to them.

The new branding uses the tagline “Downtown Mission Defining Culture,” and the logos that the company has recommended feature downtown landmarks – the post office, the train station and the museum.

Mackovic said the company has captured a style that fits with downtown Mission.

“We’re thrilled.

They’re doing a great job – more than we expected,” he said.

The logos can be used on letterhead, on downtown signs, websites and in all promotional materials.

Releventions owner Braden Douglas described the brand that most people want.

“We wanted to grab an element of sophistication and uniqueness, but combine that with a historical perspective as well.”

It’s not just about letterhead, the DBA is trying to inject more vitality into the Mission’s historic retail area.

“At the end of the day, it all comes down to the product,” said Douglas.

DBA secretary Angela Morrow said downtown won’t be competing with big box stores for family shopping excursions.

But said promotion of the downtown has to emphasize that it is a place where people come for meals, for recreation, to access government services and people literally live there. She said Downtown Mission could aspire to one day become like a part of

the Commercial Drive district of Vancouver.

She said people will shop there for different reasons than they would a big box store.

“Businesses here are owner operated, people trust us, and we have a lot of knowledge,” she added.

She said a more welcoming environment combined with happenings and events will invite people to “become a downtowner.”

District economic development officer Stacey Crawford said having an outside agency working on the branding has been a positive.

“They’ve brought an unbiased approach to what downtown is facing,” he said. “They’ve recognized the strengths and weaknesses, but they’re focussing on the marketing strategy which I like.”

“The plan itself provides a clear direction... and it seems the downtown is supportive.”

He said the plan seems to galvanize retailers and create a community focus they are buying into, and it could be a catalyst to new initia-

tives.

DEFINING CULTURE Douglas explained what is meant by the theme “Defining Culture.”

“We wanted to accomplish two things. One, provide Downtown Mission with a tagline that is synonymous with their unique and bold personality, while recognizing the reality of transformation in culture and the stance that it is something that is embraced,” he said. “And two, create a broad personality which business owners and residents of Mission alike, can identify with.”

Douglas noted that downtown is different from other shopping destinations because of the high percentage of independently owned businesses.

“The service and offerings of these businesses help to create a unique culture and can begin to set trends for fashion, footwear, baby clothes, jewellery, furniture etc for the city of Mission that people can’t readily find elsewhere.”

He added the downtown area also has a culture created by its long history.

Olympic spirit strong in Mission

N

early everyone hates Monday mornings. Usually, people drag themselves around, sad that the weekend has ended. But not this week, not this past

Monday.

Thousands of Mission adults and children couldn’t wait until Feb. 8, and they weren’t even thinking about sleeping in.

The Olympic torch began the final week of its cross country journey before 6 a.m. here. The district organized a celebration that filled the streets before sunrise.

The celebrations officially started at 5 a.m., but in less than half an hour, the streets were already full and everyone was huddled around the security line trying to find a good spot to watch the torch as it passed.

Mission residents’ support was tested a little more than others in different communities. It’s easy to make your way down at 10 a.m. or two in the afternoon. To wake up at three or four in the morning takes a bit more commitment. And we’re proud so many people made the effort.

Big events bring neighbours and communities closer together, and it’s clear the Olympics has accomplished that.

It inspires youth and motivates adults.

There was a sense of pride in the sea of red and white that morning, and an energy that buzzed around.

The Olympic spirit is alive and strong in this community. The Games begin tomorrow and it’s time to cheer even louder for our athletes and our country. The world is watching.

Lessons of the Peace flood WILLISTON LAKE – Standing at the snow-covered north end of the ninth-largest artificial lake in the world, a couple of ironies soon become apparent.

The low, growling noise in the background is the sound of big diesel generators that run 24 hours a day to light the tidy little village of Tsay Keh Dene. It’s one of two remote aboriginal communities abruptly relocated in 1967 to make way for the rising water.

This huge reservoir powers a million homes, but the communities that paid the highest price for it are not yet on the BC Hydro grid.

To The other irony is the dust, a problem not often associated with flooding. Along with the tangle of dead trees that clog the shoreline, one of the persistent environmental legacies of this 200-kilometre lake is the dust that blows up from the exposed lakebed when the reservoir is drawn down in the summer and fall.

Even in winter, the ongoing source of dust and trees can be seen on the opposite shore. Vertical cliffs of fresh, sandy soil drop to the waterline, as waves and ice erode the bank and bring down more dirt and trees.

There isn’t much economic opportunity here, where nomadic people first settled around the Hudson’s Bay Company fur trade. A forest service road from Mackenzie is the only overland way in. The nearest hydro lines are at the Kemess copper mine about 100 km west of here. That mine is shutting down soon, its application to open a new pit rejected after aboriginal objections.

The trees along that narrow road, and as far as the eye can see around the lake, are marked with the now-familiar rusty red colour. About half of them are dead from pine beetles. m I flew in to the gravel airstrip with a group of BC Hydro and provincial government officials to mark the end of a long dispute. The province and BC Hydro reached an outof-court settlement with the Tsay Keh Dene, similar to an earlier deal with the Kwadacha First Nation, further north at the former Hudson’s Bay trading post of Fort Ware.

The Tsay Keh Dene receive a onetime payment of $20.9 million, to be held in a professionally managed trust, and another $3 million a year, adjusted for inflation for as long as the W.A.C.

B.C. Views

Fletcher

Bennett Dam produces power.

Speaking with local elders and Kwadacha historian Susan Hatfield-McCook, a picture emerges of the impact of the dam. Living on traplines with a scattering of remote cabins, some people found out about it only when they fled from the rising water. Others had their homes dragged to higher ground.

People used to boating to Mackenzie on a familiar river tried the same thing on the huge new reservoir, and died.

This wasn’t the first time aboriginal people were flooded out in B.C. The Kenney dam did the same thing in Cheslatta Carrier territory in 1952, when engineers on the Kemano project decided at the last moment to extend the reservoir to Cheslatta Lake. The Cheslatta people were given three weeks’ notice of eviction.

Here at Tsay Keh Dene, scientists are studying ways to control the dust.

Local residents will be contracted to do the work, and to clean up the masses of driftwood along the shore.

Back in the city, debate continues over the impact of run-of-river power, wind generation and other ways to meet future power needs. Soon it will turn to the question of a third dam on the Peace.

The lessons learned here will be important. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2010

Is the district addicted to development?

Editor, Mission Record: Marked increases in property taxes (17-20% over the next three years) to Mission residents have been proposed by staff in order to subsidize urban sprawl.

The district now admits that there will not be enough water available for their plans to double our population unless current residents cough up Mission’s $24 million share of a new water source, transmission lines and treatment plant to feed projected development of Silverdale and Cedar Valley.

Staff further admits that this amount will increase if we develop faster than predicted - the faster you sprawl, the more you pay. Rates for water and sewer are proposed to increase 20 per cent and 15 per cent respectively this year, and are pro-

” The Faster you sprawl, the more you pay.

– Don Mair

jected to increase 50 per cent and 35 per cent respectively by 2012.

The city has plans to install water meters (no doubt paid for by residents) to “encourage water conservation” arguing that the lack of meters

is why Mission residents consume about double the water per/person to Abbotsford residents. This argument ignores the possibility that the discrepancy is due to other causes such as aging and leaking infrastructure of our town.

Why are we not prioritizing development of Mission’s waterfront and requiring developers to finance these upgrades instead of subsidizing costly sprawl?

Is Mission locked in to sprawl at any cost? Doubling the footprint of our town into unserviced rural areas will do nothing to upgrade our town’s infrastructure, but will double the costs of road maintenance, fire and police services.

These are services that Mission admits it is already unable to finance without major ongoing tax increases

Fraser Institute rankings ‘misleading and inaccurate’ Editor, Mission Record: The B.C. School Trustees Association (BCSTA) recognizes the importance of accountability and appropriate uses of assessment data in planning for improvements to student achievement.

However, BCSTA strongly objects to Fraser Institute’s ranking of schools based on a narrow snapshot of data.

The Fraser Institute’s misuse of Foundational Skills Assessment data paints a misleading and inaccurate picture of schools.

To get a true picture of how a school is performing,

parents must have complete information about all grade levels in all subject areas and include citizenship and cultural factors which make each school unique.

School rankings are potentially harmful to the morale of those who work and learn in B.C.’s public schools.

The limited snapshot of data used fails to recognize the significant accomplishments and progress taking place very day in our schools.

Overpopulated Editor, Mission Record: Much credit to Tracy Lyster , who hit the nail right on the head, when she said, “it wasn’t fair to ask current residents to help pay for a system for future development.

I would like the District of Mission to partially fund one more person to help the day care program, as there are a lot of people who fit this situation.

We are getting a lot more seniors moving to Mission, and as you know, we only have one funded fullcare rest home that has a long waiting period.

Some of these people could be in day care if there were funds to cover one more person to help, which would keep patients in their homes, not a full rest home.

Having a fully funded day care program would be an asset to the community.

Mission’s Alzheimer’s patients not getting enough support Editor, Mission Record: An open letter to Mayor James Atebe and Council; Being a 30-year resident of Mission, I was surprised to learn that Mission is the only municipality to not have a day care for persons with Alzheimer’s that need bathroom assistance. My wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease five years ago.

The day care program at Pleasant View, 7530 Hurd Street, has only enough staff to look after Alzheimer’s patients who can look after their own bathroom needs.

I would have come to a council meeting to talk to you on this subject, except I do not have anyone to look after my wife. It is very stressful to not have any time to get things done. I am a 24/7 caregiver with a

overpopulated province, in an overpopulated town and district called Mission.

It is time for all individual Canadians and all Canadian governments, including the Mission civic government, to actively promote negative human population growth and a maximum of one child per family.

That would gradually reduce the demand by humans for scarce resources, lower the price of acreage and housing, and enable the rest of the biosphere, including badly decimated forests and wild salmon populations, to recover from the horrors of having humans evict them from their native habitats and replacing those habitats with dense human housing developments.

Deadline looms for input on cosmetic pesticide ban Editor, Mission Record: The Canadian Cancer Society is urging British Columbians to make their views on cosmetic pesticides heard. BC residents can support province-wide legislation, banning the use and sale of cosmetic chemical pesticides, by visiting www.cancer.ca/bc/advocate and sending an email.

The BC government is consulting with the public on the use and sale of ‘cosmetic chemical’ pesticides and British Columbians only have until Feb. 15 to provide input.

Cosmetic chemical pesticides are used to control unwanted weeds and plants in order to improve the appearance of lawns and gardens. They have been linked to various cancers – particularly in children.

They are non-agricultural and non-essential.

What’s more, these chemicals are unnecessary.

Safe, effective, non-toxic alternatives exist and the use of these alternatives is good for business and can help grow the green economy.

It can be an initial investment (i.e. if the municipality needs to purchase an aerator) but as the soil improves and plants gain health, the costs diminish. Ultimately, they use less water and fewer products which all leads to lower costs.

Some 76 per cent of British Columbians are in favor of provincial pesticide legislation, and 28 B.C. municipalities have already adopted cosmetic pesticide bylaws. It is time all British Columbians were protected against exposure to these unnecessary chemicals. Integrated Pest Management (IPM), or the use of pesticides ‘as a last resort’ to deal with weeds and insects, should not be included in cosmetic pesticide legislation.

Editor, Mission Record: Ban the Bomb, Ban Big Oil, Ban Pesticides!

This is the month that will change our lives – “banning pesticides!”

Eighteen environmental groups are using words like “would be gardeners” insidious “toxic” “impacting chemicals” with “cumulative effect” on us and “the earth.”

This is an insult to all home owners who attempt to beautify your neighbourhood, and an insult to the landscapers who help them.

This started in Vancouver with the banned spraying of Cyprus trees, and all the old gardens of Dunbar turned brown.

Environmental groups and Indian bands stopped the first attempt at halting the pine beetle. The logger who had an answer got so upset that he died of a heart attack. No big deal! We can now call it Beautiful Brown B.C.!

And now the environmentalists are on your yard!

If you use David Suzuki’s reasoning for earth’s problems, then why is Mars warming up too?

If “we” are destroying the world… why did 200,000 environmentalists fly to Copenhagen (now there is a

carbon foot print), then they shipped 2,000 limos from Europe, and then these people sat there like Zombies listening, while Hugo Chavez lambasted the “evil America” – and they all jumped up and gave him a standing ovation.

As a landscaper for thirty years, I have used pesticides when needed to beautify the neighbourhood (including the homes of the cancer society leaders) I am 72 and still go to work every day. My motto is … “changing the world, one yard at a time.”

Now what is the “cumulative effect” on me? I will use the logic of the environmentalists. Because my grandmother died of cancer, and so did my mother and so did my brother and brother-in-law and sister, … and none of them used pesticides. But I did – so therefore I am alive and healthy because I use pesticides!

And finally, I remember when DDT was banned all over the world. As a direct result, 40 million people (mostly children) died of malaria. Someone is responsible for their death and it’s not me!

Great stories from archives Archive volunteers unearth a colourful sports history

H

eritage week is a busy time for the volunteers of the Mission Archives, who have been researching the district’s sporting history, creating a display they call “Dreams of Glory: Mission Sports History.”

Valerie Billesburger says pouring through old newspaper clippings and other documents has unearthed a treasure trove of Mission sports history.

“It has been an amazing journey,” said Billesberger . “We have all discovered stories – we had no idea what an amazing sports history Mission has.”

There is the amazing story of Jack Schuberg, known in his day as “the Mission Mile Wonder,” who won the B.C. championship and shattered the Canadian junior record in 1934.

An article talks about he easily won the local qualifying race in a time of four minutes, 31 seconds, despite the discomfort of running in knee-high grass.

“Yet the fast time shows that he did not take time out to yawn, even though there was a dance at Hatzic Island that night,” reported The Record.

Through a fundraising campaign in the paper, the community then raised $120 to send the Mile Wonder

to Hamilton, Ont., where he would run against the best athletes in the British Empire. Every merchant in town pitched in a dollar.

But due to unreported circumstances Schuberg missed the actual race, was forced to run against the clock, and could not prove he was the best miler at the Empire Games. He would later serve in the Second World War, and was killed in action.

They have found the story of Tommy Blin, a Dewdney-born man who was the coxswain on the Canadian men’s eight rowing team out of UBC that won silver at the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome. That was the only medal Canada won that year at the Olympics.

Blin now lives in Castlegar, and carried the torch for this year’s Olympic torch run.

Another Olympic medallist was Gary MacDonald, a prominent Mission resident who won silver in the 4x100m relay at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal.

“The research has revealed obviously the stories of the athletes, but also the builders, coaches, parents and sponsors,” Billesberger said. “It’s not just about what we’ll call the shooting stars, it’s all the stories.”

The display will be offered Feb. 14-21at the Heritage Park Centre, and on Feb. 14 from 1 to 3 p.m. there will be a special opening that will feature a scavenger hunt, puzzles, a Wii Olympics and a visit by speed skating Olympian Eden Donatelli.

Staying in love Couples married 50-plus years talk about how they made it work Why do two people just work?

What keeps a couple together as the years turn into decades?

You could ask a marriage counsellor or a family court lawyer. Or you could ask a couple that is on the verge of its 60th wedding anniversary.

Bob Heal and his wife Shirley were married on Dec. 28, 1951, and their romance has travelled virtually around the globe, finally ending at Mission’s Kingsway Arms home for seniors.

“They key is to be truly in love at the beginning,” said Shirley.

Bob was the singer in a quartet while attending McMaster University in Hamilton. They were all four in love with Shirley’s voice, and they recruited her to do some vocals. Her mom was a stickler that Shirley be dropped off at home by the group, promptly after practice. One night Bob got out of the car with her.

She was furious at the time, worried all the band members would think there was something going on, when there wasn’t.

But he got back in her good graces.

“You were pretty smooth,” she told him.

“It grew into a tight knit love affair,” he said.

They were married and had three kids before she was 24 years old.

“That’s part of the glue that keeps couples together,” said Bob of their family.

They raised their family in Montreal,

Robert and Shirley Heal

and then after visiting the Caribbean decided they wouldn’t leave. They spent 35 years there, They built a business empire s. e i that included drycleaning business, fast g g e v r u d an e c i r foot franchises and every other business with yo r o potato f o that had not yet come to that tropical e c i o ch paradise. When they finally sold it in the 1970s, they had nine corporations and over 1,000 employees.

“We started with nothing and ended up with good business, said Bob. s It was easy to keep the romance going sh veggie e r f in their relationship. Bob was his own & o t ed pota p o boss, and could take off for an afternoon l l a c s with and whisk Shirley away.

“It was paradise – warm weather and balmy breezes,” he said.

But they also worked at it.

He remembers a Valentines when he bought Shirley an organ she loved.

“Instead of thanking me, all she did was cry.”

She remembered that it sat in the living room, a mystery gift, way before the big day.

“We lived on an island and they had to deliver it, and the damn thing came early,” he said.

She remembers he had wrapped the gift to keep it a secret – wrapped it in tinfoil.

“Have you ever tried to wrap an organ?” he said defensively.

This is a couple that has managed to keep the magic.

“When he comes into the room, I still feel it,” said Shirley.

Her advice to newlyweds: “You betm ter be in love _ don’t do it for any other a am - 12 0 3 : 11 reason.” y a turd And his: “Stick to it. Make sure you’re day - Sa n o m M : p n 10 straight with each other.”

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2010

Clean energy focus in B.C. throne speech BY

TOM FLETCHER

Black Press

Lieutenant Governor Steven Point arrives at the B.C. legislature in August.

SHARON TIFFIN/BLACK PRESS

Protecting the Flathead Valley from mining and coalbed methane development, winding down BC Rail and linking the electrical grid with California are among the priorities in the B.C. government’s latest throne speech.

Lieutenant-Governor Steven Point read the speech Tuesday to kick off a three-day pre-Olympic sitting of the B.C. legislature.

It reiterates promises made in the postelection throne speech and budget last fall, including the vow to roll out full-day kindergarten for five-year-olds across the province in the next two years.

Extending kindergarten beyond half days is the most expensive promise maintained in the past two speeches, both crafted by Premier Gordon Campbell after the recession slashed government revenues and pushed the province into a deficit estimated

at $2.8 billion this fiscal year.

Tuesday’s speech went further on how the B.C. Liberal government is going to extend early childhood education to children younger than five.

“New partnerships with the private sector and parents will enable the establishment of neighbourhood preschools for four-yearolds and three-year-olds within communities over the next five years,” the speech says. “They will provide families with new voluntary options for public and private preschool across B.C.” The government is promising a new partnership with Montana to end years of friction over the Flathead River valley in the East Kootenay, which borders state and national parks on both sides of the CanadaU.S. border. Oil and gas development, coalbed methane and mining will be banned.

“A new partnership with Montana will sustain the environmental values in the Flathead River Basin in a manner con-

sistent with current forestry, recreation, guide-outfitting and trapping uses,” the speech says.

Along with seeking “major transmission upgrades” with the U.S., the government promises a new Clean Energy Act to encourage more independent power production.

“New transmission infrastructure will link northeastern B.C. to our integrated grid, provide clean power to the energy industry and open up new capacity for clean power exports in Alberta, Saskatchewan and south of the border,” the speech says.

The government also vows to bring the remaining functions of BC Rail into government, winding down the Crown corporation now that the track and rolling stock are operated by CN Rail. The corporation still owns the railbed, and operates the Roberts Bank spur line that was pulled off the market in the wake of criminal charges related to the BC Rail bidding process.

say ‘tell me all about it.”

Then, David was to be transferred to California for 18 months. She could either not see him for a year and a half, or join him.

“It was kind of a leap of

faith,” said Colleen.

Back in England, David’s family posted a wedding notice in their local paper calling it “A typical New World romance: Met in April, engaged in June and married in Novem-

ber.”

They had two more children together, raising their family in Vancouver and Victoria.

Some 36 years ago they came to Mission, David the town’s first municipal engineer.

Colleen said David

remembered Valentines Day. “I always got flowers.

He was so sweet that way.”

Her advice to new

couples: “Be patient.

You have to be tolerant and understanding. And someone told me don’t go to bed angry. Stay up and fight it out.”

AN INVITATION FROM MISSION PUBLIC SCHOOLS Mission Public Schools will host three meetings to invite discussion and input from parents, staff and the community as we explore the best delivery methods possible for sustaining and enhancing quality education.

A single spiritual care coordinator to be based in Abbotsford will be far from adequate to serve the needs of dying hospital patients across the Fraser Health region, critics say.

Local faith groups had pressed for the reinstatement of the 12 spiritual care coordinators based at local hospitals who were laid off in November to save $650,000.

Instead, Fraser will hire one regional spiritual care coordinator who is to work with hospitalbased volunteer managers to train representatives from churches and faith groups to provide spiritual care in hospitals and long-term care facilities.

The position is being based in Abbotsford because churches there have agreed to cover $25,000 of the position’s annual salary.

Susan House, executive director of the Catholic Health Association of B.C., fears the move to rely on volunteers will fail distressed patients in the final moments of their lives.

“A volunteer can sit with that person and be a presence, but I think it would be a very dangerous thing to offer any kind of counsel to that person,” she said.

House said the issue isn’t about religion, adding people who are spiritual but not part of any organized church may suffer most.

“People can say call your priest, call your

also pool money that Fraser Health could use to hire additional coordinators.

“We’re open to all sorts of possibilities.”

A job description is being drafted and it’s uncertain when the new coordinator will be hired.

The health authority is also changing its registration process so incoming patients can arrange spiritual care visits up front.

That’s expected to make it easier for volunteers to assist them – in the past privacy laws restricted Fraser Health’s disclosure of patient lists to faith groups.

While the care model is new, Krystal she feels “quite comfortable that the overwhelming number of needs is going to be met through this.”

Fraser Health also laid off 15 hospital-based social workers at the same time it terminated the hospital chaplains.

Volunteers raise thousands for health care in Mission The Mission Health Care Auxiliary Society raised more than $100,000 for medical items to help the community in 2009.

The group purchased things like a bladder scanner, a sit-to-stand mechanical lift and overbed tables for the Dr. Stuart Pavilion, and a gas-

troscope and mattresses for ambulatory day care.

They also raised funds to help with activities at Pleasantview and the ECU bus.

minister, call your rabbi.

But it’s the people who don’t have someone to call who are falling through the cracks.”

House said spiritual care ought to remain a core medical service.

Rev. Dr. Hans Kouwenberg, of Abbotsford’s Calvin Presbyterian Church, said the decision isn’t what local church leaders had hoped for, but described it as better than nothing.

“There are mixed feelings about it,” he said.

Fraser Health clinical operations vice-president Arden Krystal said part of the new coordinator’s time will be devoted to Abbotsford-specific issues, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the region will be ignored.

“It will be very clear in the job description for this person that they will have this regional role and they’re accountable for it,” she said.

While the arrangement works to the advantage of Abbotsford, she said, other communities could

According tot he financial reports, most of the funds were raised through the Cottage gift shop on First Avenue, which brought in $93,000. Other sources for revenue comes from the gift shop at the hospital, television rentals and the loan cupboard.

There are about 150 members of the local auxiliary volunteering for different positions.

The 56 volunteers who help out at the Cottage worked a combined total of 10,603 hours last year, the most hours out of all the volunteer programs offered by the auxiliary.

The group welcomed 20 new members last year, but some were only there temporarily. The auxiliary always welcome new members.

Market “beefs up” products The second of three indoor winter markets organized by the Mission City Farmers Market will be held on Feb. 13 at All Saints church hall, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Food security is a major focus for both indoor and outdoor markets, and “healthy choices” is one element of food security. Terry Garratt of Williams Lake returns on Saturday with several new grass-fed and hormone free beef products that the Market will continue to feature at

its 2010 markets. Garratt’s “Hippy Cow” products include pepperoni, jerky, very lean hamburger, smokies and steaks.

Tangerine will also return to entertain at noon and during lunch from the Market’s kitchen. Customers are invited to bring their own mugs to taste the fair trade coffee of the week.

All vendors and non-profit groups will present items from a long list of Market products, in-

cluding: perennial plants, jewellery, cards, photography, preserves, jams, jellies, soap, chocolates, free trade coffee, gift baskets, aprons and other sewing creations.

Few spaces are available at the Feb.13 and April 10 indoor markets.

Reserve a space by e-mailing the market at mission.market@gmail. com or by phoning 604-302-5561 and leaving a message. All Saints church is located at the corner of Second Avenue and James Street.

Twelve-year-old Max Beaton is the inspiration behind a blood drive, which is starting in Mission.

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Blood donor drive starts in Mission A Fraser Valley pre-teen is inspiring dozens of Correctional Service of Canada employees, and their friends and family, to donate blood over the next several weeks as part of a Fraser Valley blood drive.

Max Beaton, 12, has been fighting Hodgkin’s lymphoma at B.C. Children’s Hospital for the last two years.

Having received about 30 units of red blood cells and 20 units of platelets over the last several years, Max most recently underwent a stem cell transplant to help end his cancer.

The transplant surgery took place right before Christmas, and co-workers of Max’s mom and dad – both employees of Correctional Service of Canada – wanted to know what they could do to help.

“A blood drive is a way for people to make some sort of tangible contribution,” says Sam Beaton, Max’s father.

Sam encouraged his co-workers to consider donating blood, and soon it turned

into an 8-week blood drive, running from Jan. 18 to Mar. 18.

As an employee at the Mission Institution, it was a natural fit that the Max Beaton blood drive start at Canadian Blood Services’ Mission blood donor clinic, but the drive has since extended to clinics across the Fraser Valley.

As far as Sam is concerned, the more blood collected during the blood drive, the better.

“Going through Max’s treatments, you realize just how fragile the blood supply is – there isn’t an inexhaustible supply,” he says. “Without donors, we wouldn’t have the blood products needed for my son, and many others like him.”

The blood drive will run until March 18. To donate, call 1-888-2-DONATE (1-888-236-6283).

The upcoming blood donor clinics in Mission are on Feb. 15 and March 15 frin 2 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Cedar Valley Mennonite Church, 32840 Janzen Ave.

Do you have property near gullies or steep slopes?

Landslides usually occur as a result of heavy rains or snow melt and have resulted in considerable loss of property and impacts to public infrastructure.

Although not always the case, signs of instability usually show up in advance of slope stability problems occurring.

Property owners should monitor their property for signs of instability before, during and after heavy rains. These signs can include: • Cracks in the foundation walls or concrete patios.

• Leaning deck posts or excessively sloping decks.

• Slumps or slides in the streambanks.

• Erosion and soil exposure on the slopes.

• Fenceposts or trees that are leaning downslope or upslope.

• Cracks or soft spots in the ground near the top of and on the slope.

• Trees with a strongly curved (“J”) shape at their base.

• Outbreaks of springs where there were none before.

• Undercutting of streambanks by creeks at the base of gullies.

• Presence of water loving plants on slopes – skunk cabbage, horse tail, devil’s club etc.

• Old wood retaining walls which have deteriorated due to age.

• Other retaining walls which exhibit signs of movement.

Property owners can take several steps to reduce the likelihood of slope stability problems affecting their property including, but not limited to: • Hire a geotechnical engineer to complete regular stability assessments of your property and implement any recommendations.

• Ensure water from downspouts, driveways, lawns,

decks etc. is directed away from steep slopes or conveyed to the base of the slopes in solid walled pipe.

• Ensure that retaining walls, swimming pools, ponds etc. on or above steep slopes are designed by an engineer.

• Ensure that any fill materials to be placed to develop yards are designed by a geotechnical engineer and placed under his or her supervision.

• Maintain appropriate setbacks from the top of steep slopes as directed by the geotechnical engineer.

• Have a geotechnical engineer assess the steep slopes for appropriate vegetation cover and adequate slope stability measures.

• Removing or topping of trees on the slope should only be undertaken with approval by a qualified

West Coast Express adding more trains The West Coast Express will be close to doubling train service during the 2010 Olympic Games, running from early morning to late night as well as weekends.

It is also noted that service

will be free for valid Olympic ticket holders (for the day of the event) and registered VANOC volunteers. Please visit www. westcoastexpress.com for detailed train schedules.

Sort, tarp your loads Recyclable and compostable materials must be separated from garbage, or a 50% surcharge will be applied to the entire load. At the current tipping fees, that would be $11.50 per tonne, instead of the regular $79 per tonne. Recyclable materials include all blue-bag materials, such as paper, cardboard, rigid household plastic containers of codes 1, 2 and 5, as well as food-related metal cans, lids and glass bottles and jars. Other recyclables accepted for free at the landfill include metal appliances, scrap metal, empty propane tanks and automotive batteries. The curbside collection calendar features a complete list of recycling options and is available in print at City Hall and on the city’s website at www. mission.ca/Page33.aspx.

In an effort to divert as many materials from landfill as possible, the district is also keeping brush, branches, yard waste and all clean lumber separate from garbage. This material is then chipped and composted to be used in landscaping and erosion control projects. You will also be asked to place any contaminated wood products in a separate area.

Loads arriving at the landfill must also be secured to prevent litter along all access routes to the landfill. Unsecured loads will be subject to a surcharge of $10 per load. Litter cleanup is expensive and should be unnecessary with just a little bit of extra effort.

Questions can be directed to the environmental coordinator at 604-820-3795.

That water can very quickly cut a path across your driveway and wash away your entrance, or the water can collect on one side of your culvert and begin to undercut the ditch banks eroding your property line.

Respected publisher dies BY

NATASHA JONES

Black Press

Marilyn Boswyk, a well-known figure in Lower Mainland community newspaper circles, died last Wednesday after suffering a series of strokes on Jan. 23. She had celebrated her 73rd birthday on Jan. 15.

Her home was in Mission, where she spent a lot of time indulging her passion: horses. She also rode frequently in Aldergrove, said her nephew, Roderick Tollenaar.

“She was a very active person, and always positive,” Tollenaar said. “Her love of horses was huge.

She had a huge heart, and she would help but never expect anything in return.

She truly never expected anything in return. There are not many people around like that,” he said.

Tollenaar said that Mrs. Boswyk was like a mother to him. “She took care of me, and helped me every way she could. She was awesome to me.”

Mrs. Boswyk’s husband, Fenmo, died in 2003. Tollenaar said that his aunt and uncle were devastated when their son, Dirk, and his fiancee were killed in an earthquake while they were holidaying in Mex-

ico in the 1990s.

At the time of the tragedy, Mrs. Boswyk was publisher of The Langley Advance. She had revived the struggling publication and turned it into a profitable business, Tollenaar said.

One of her employees was Kitti Tomik, who was in advertising sales. They became good friends. On Thursday, Tomik said that she had spent as much time as she could with her mentor as doctors fought to save her life, first in Abbotsford Regional Hospital and then Royal Columbian Hospital.

“She was an amazing publisher at The Advance, and she lived her life as she wanted to lead it,” Tomik said.

“I had the greatest respect, admiration and love for her.”

Joy Richardson knew Mrs. Boswyk from the equestrian circles in which they both moved.

“Marilyn was very kind, and very knowledgeable.

She loved animals deeply, and was much respected,” Richardson said.

Among her survivors are her nephew Roderick, daughter Loraine, son-inlaw Loren, and grandchildren Dustin and Shaila, all of Langley.

Trio fighting for national gold Fighters from Mission club boxing at Canadian championships, Brown brothers heavy favourites BY

NEIL CORBETT

Mission Record

A

trio of boxers from the Mission City Boxing Club are on their way to the national championships at the end of the month, and two are favoured to win it all.

Jessy Brown, 15, is a reigning national champ and goes into his featherweight class as the favourite to win another national gold.

His little brother Cody Brown, 13, is ranked number one in his light flyweight class after he took the national silver last year.

Sean McIntosh,17, is going to his first national championships, and the goal is to medal.

“Both of the Brown boys are naturally gifted. They were born to box,” said their coach Dale Gatin. “And they’ve been at it five years now, and they don’t miss a day. They’re very dedicated.”

While they’re matched in their commitment to the sport, the Brown brothers vary in their style.

Jessy is a strong fighter, hits hard and batters his opponents.

Cody is “more of a technician,” says his coach, explaining that the younger Brown scores with combinations and counterpunches.

“Jessy and Cody both want to come home with Canadian titles,” said Gatin.

“They’ve been training six days a week.”

McIntosh faces stiff competition, and although he is the B.C. champ, he has to be considered a dark horse to win nationals. In his light welterweight division – Dale Gatin there are a lot of tough boxers with more experience than the Missionite. Some will have been training for 10 years.

“He’s only been boxing a year and a half, so he’s done really well,” said Gatin.

He said fitness is a huge part of the sport, and McIntosh is in better condition than many of his opponents.

“He listens very well, he’s very teachable, and he trains really hard. He’s in excellent condition.”

In his first trip to nationals, McIntosh should be happy to win a medal of any colour, says Gatin.

Gatin has three of his fighters comprising the 12-fighter B.C. team, and has been named the national coach for Boxing B.C. He was a boxer from the age of 12, but said he was only ever average, and never made nationals. He didn’t have the natural gifts that the champions are endowed with.

“I had to work hard,” he said.

He left the sport at the age of 21 when he got married and started a family. He kept in the game as an adult as an assistant coach at various clubs, including the Astoria in Vancouver. Then, five years ago got the Mission City Boxing Club going as a non-profit society. It has grown to approximately 50 members.

He was humbled to be asked to coach for the proviince.

“It’s a very big honour.”

”

Cody Brown (left) is the top-ranked fighter in his division after winning silver at last year’s national championships.

Jessy Brown’s heavy punches won him the national title last year, and he’s back to defend it.

...they’ve been at it five years now, and they don’t miss a day.

...escape from winter at Weir’s Beach

What’s a successful angler’s most important quality?

W

hat does it take to achieve high catch ratios and land large fish?

If you made a consensus of answers from the top rods around the world, I guarantee it would come down to one thing; confidence.

What would this assurance be, in the context of sport fishing?

The ability to believe: To believe that the fish are down there.

To believe that you have the right equipment.

To believe that in spite of what you may see or hear you still have what Jeff it takes to win.

Every fishing trip is a contest of wills, yours and the will of the fish.

Too many anglers evaluate their skills by opinions of other anglers, when in the end the true judges are the fish; you either catch fish or you don’t.

The odds are always in favour of the house, or in this case the fish. We can however slant the odds in our direction somewhat, by studying our opponents.

A very wise teacher once wrote “Study to show thyself approved.”

Why, because having approval instills confidence, which in sport fishing is a primary key to success.

Mission Record

Before there were Gameboys and Nintendo Entertainment Systems, children played with homemade toys and outdoor games.

Some of these popular past times for kids and adults are on display at the Mission Arts Centre until Feb. 20.

There are paintings, archival panels, musical instruments as well as toys.

There are incredible memorabilia and personal notes attached to each item, explained Sharon Syrette, who organized the display.

There were about 50 people at the opening reception for the exhibit earlier this week, and volunteers demonstrated some of the things people in the past did for leisure.

Some recited poetry, district councillor, and retired teacher, Heather Stewart read Casey at the Bat, and Syrette led the group in

a round of Row Row Row Your Boat.

A facilitator also sparked some conversation about children’s games, such as Anti-Anti One Over.

Was it Auntie, or Anti that the children chanted? The game involved two teams and a small building, like a shed. the teams would stand on opposite sides of the building and say the chant before throwing a ball over.

The game was created during war times, and it’s believed they were saying anti, as in anti war, and not auntie.

It was a lot of fun and there were so many neat things for people to see, added Syrette.

Most of the items are display are on loan members of the community. There are wooden toys, and knitted stuffies, as well as paper dolls and a box of pick up sticks.

As for adults, they liked to gather and simply socialize, explained Syrette. There are displays of mu-

sical instruments, card and checkers.

They worked hard and played hard too, said Syrette, adding there were also many dances and activities in the community halls.

Different activities are happening all week to celebrate Heritage Week in Mission.

• Today, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., Ernie Poignant will tell his story about walking across the railway bridge when it first opened for vehicular traffic in the late 1920s.

• On Feb. 17, there will be an autographs and albums session with Karin Edberg Lee. Bring your old photo albums and autograph books, share stories and listen to old-time music.

The Mission Arts Centre is open from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through to Saturday. The Arts Centre is located at 33529 First Ave. For more info call 604-8260029.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2010

Speak and be Heard at the Clarke Voices of Mission will echo through the Clarke Theatre Feb. 18 in a collaborative community event called Speak and be Heard.

The purpose is to unite and inspire connection, cooperation and communication from all walks of life.

Sto:lo drummers will open the evening, Mission Association for Community Living choir will sing and lead into the main focus of the evening, a forum theatre play put on by local youth depicting some of the current issues and conflicts they experience today.

The content of the evening will

hopefully educate and convince people to bring out the powerful, compassionate, creative, and internal power that is in each person.

The play is created from personal experiences in a six-day workshop which some will get school credit for.

The theme is power over or power from within?

This workshop runs from Feb. 13-18. If you are a youth interested in joining call 604-826-1485.

Forum theatre is in the tradition of Theatre of the Oppressed.

The show is shown once, and then repeated, except in the second round the audience shouts

“stop!” when there is something that could be change. They will step into the roles, sending the drama in a new direction.

This is a dynamic, emotionally charged evening merging art and social action in the spirit of Restorative Justice, where respect is the heart of the matter.

Speak and Be Heard is presented by This Diamond Community, an eight-month conceptual art project spearheaded by intuitive artist Carolyn Dawn Good.

The event is sponsored by local businesses, organizations and individuals. There will be community groups set up in the lobby and free tables are still

available.

Sponsors at $400 per youth are also welcome. The benefactors name will be in the program beside the youth’s name and you will be connected to them and their experience and outcomes.

Submissions for poetry and art on the theme of harmony are also welcome and can be sent to oktopus8@me.com to be included in program.

Doors open at 6 p.m. on Feb. 18, and the show starts at 7 p.m.

Admission is by donations and there will be door prizes and a raffle. For more information visit www.diamondcommunity.ca or www.cdgoodart.com.

FOR THE EXCITEMENT

VALENTINE’S DAY AND THE POWER OF LOVE The history of Valentine’s Day is clouded in myth and legend. There are at least three people named Valentine who are mentioned in early church documents, quite interestingly, all of whom are thought to have been martyred. One was a priest who supposedly married people despite the ban on marriage by the Emperor Claudius. (This ban on marriage was in effect because Claudius believed that single men made better soldiers.) In one of those legends about St. Valentine, we are told that Valentine refused to renounce Christ before Emperor Claudius in the year 280 AD and was thus, sentenced to death. However, before being executed, St. Valentine supposedly restored the sight and hearing of the jailer’s daughter. And, some accounts even tell of St. Valentine sending a letter to the jailer’s daughter signed, “from your Valentine,” and this story is sometimes used to explain the custom of sending love-inspired cards on this day.

Whatever the truth about St. Valentine, there is little doubt that love triumphs over all. Love of God, gave countless martyrs the faith to accept their deaths with equanimity. Love also gives people who are wronged, the power to forgive their oppressors.

And love inspires all of us to simply be better people. One has to wonder if Emperor Claudius didn’t actually have it backwards. Perhaps instead of banning marriage, he should have required it, because those who are fighting for someone or something they truly love, fight much harder than those who are only doing it for money or honor.

Many waters cannot uench love, neither can floods drown it. If a manoffered for love all the wealth of his house, it would be utterly scorned.

OBITUARIES

Chambers, Vivienne Vivienne was born September 25, 1925 to Sydney and Yvonne Rowsell and grew up with her siblings Ray, Bonnie, and Joyce. She married Joseph Chambers in 1956 and dedicated her life to making a home in Vancouver for their children, Joe, Colleen, and Carol.

After her children grew up she volunteered her time as a senior’s fitness instructor at the local community center. She then took on the roles of proud grandmother to Bill and Holly and mother-inlaw to Rob, Doug, and Lisa.

Vivienne passed away peacefully at Abbotsford Regional Hospital February 4, 2010 after a full and active life at the lovely age of 85. A private memorial for family and friends will be held Saturday, February 13, 2010.

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.

It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.

Margaret passed away shortly after 9pm Feb 4. She was predeceased by son George and daughter Marjorie Ann; survived by her loving daughter Sheila (Harold) Ervin; grandchildren Jim, Cherlynn, Wayne, Kerry and Jeffery; great grandchildren Nicole, Tyler, Corey, Troy, Riley, Ashley, Sean, Serena, and Gracie.

Margaret was born in Winnipeg, one of six children. She lost her husband in 1950, a major in the RCA before and during WWII, and moved from Winnipeg to Vancouver with her two daughters Sheila, and Marjorie Ann in 1951. She worked for Jersey Farms and then Silverwood Dairies from 1952 until her retirement in 1976, where she was highly regarded for her kindness, generosity, and dedication to a job well done. Margaret enjoyed a who dunnit mystery and was the family’s Sherlock Holmes.

Her thoughtfulness in helping others led to substantial volunteer work, including the Cancer Society, Brock House, and The Billy Bishop Legion.

The family wishes to give the management and staff of Pleasant View Housing Society, Mission, their sincere thanks for their outstanding care from 1998 until the time of her death.

You will forever be sorely missed and fondly remembered by all. No funeral by request Keller, Alfred E.
