Tax exemption refused by council BY ADRIAN MACNAIR

There are no ongoing life lease properties in the province that provide permissive tax exemptions ...

Mission Record

– Ken Bjorgaard, director of finance Bjorgaard

council in matters of affordable or low-income housing in the future. Those recommendations passed with a motion from Coun. Larry Nundal that staff review all current properties which currently receive a permissive tax exemption from the district. Director of Finance Ken Bjorgaard said the recommendations were made because Mission’s tax

exemption to the hybrid rentalownership model is unique. “There are no ongoing life lease properties in the province that provide permissive tax exemptions and most of them have not provided any relief on any other fees on life lease projects,” he said. Under DCC legislation any waivers on properties are intended to be for purely rental agreements,

which life-leases clearly are not, he said. Bjorgaard said the issue was complex, since housing can be provided to seniors in both non-profit and for-profit models, making the concept of affordable housing subjective. “From a fairness perspective, is it fair to provide tax relief to lowincome seniors and not to other low-income individuals,” he said. Bjorgaard also noted the property tax system already provides tax relief, since lower valued housing is assessed for lower taxes. “I think there’s a big difference See CONSULT Page 3

The B.C. government is restricting spending increases and keeping its small business income tax alive to meet its balanced budget target before the 2013 election. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon presented his first budget Tuesday, with a deficit of $969 million for the fiscal year starting April 1, as B.C. pays to end the harmonized sales tax. His three-year plan predicts a $154 million surplus in 2013-14 and $250 million surplus the following year. To do that, the budget aims to hold government spending growth down to two per cent for three years, with most of it going to health and education. That leaves most other ministries with little or no increase for inflation, a restriction that is expected to reduce overall B.C. government staff from about 27,000 this year to 25,000 by 2014-15. Falcon also reversed course on business taxes. The government has been promising for years that it would eliminate the small business income tax this spring, after lowering it to the current 2.5 per cent. Now it will continue at 2.5 per cent until B.C.’s financial picture improves. Falcon is also considering a one per cent increase in the general corporate tax rate to 11 per cent, but not for another year depending on financial conditions. The last scheduled carbon tax increase will go ahead on July, from 5.56 cents on a litre of gasoline to 6.67 cents. The budget holds that level while a review of the carbon tax program looks at the rate and offsetting income tax cuts.

Council voted to refuse a request for tax exemptions and discounts on building charges Monday night, to the dismay of a local seniors’ housing group. The finance department recommended against providing a donation or grant to the Mission Association for Seniors Housing (MASH) to partially offset development cost charges (DCCs) on its life lease housing project just south of Cherry Avenue on Cedar Street. It also recommended the municipality not provide an ongoing tax exemption for that project and that staff develop future policy to guide

Wren Creek proposal gets environmental green light BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

A proposed $80-million commercial and residential development at Wren Street and Lougheed Highway received environmental approval last Tuesday, according to developer Karel Carhoun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After considering the proposed project mitigation, including avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures;

proponent commitments; follow-up monitoring; and adaptive management, the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects,â&#x20AC;? reads the document. The decision, which Carhoun has been awaiting since September 2009, is an about-face from DFO, which the developer said had previously indicated in early January that it would not approve the venture.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just happy to receive this authorization so we can move forward with the project,â&#x20AC;? said Carhoun, adding DFO still has to approve section 35 of the Fisheries Act, which prohibits harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat. But he said at this point he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any reason DFO wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grant full approval to a HADD based on the mitigation plan the

between tax exemptions for non-profits like churches and other things, and forprofit for this kind of thing,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Dave Hensman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This seems to me not non-profit by the fact of how much money is required to buy this place.â&#x20AC;? The 42-unit Cedar Valley Manor will offer one-bedroom apartments starting from $169,900, and two-bedroom apartments starting from $199,000, which MASH president Judith Ray said can usually be purchased with the equity most seniors have in their existing homes. Life-lease housing allows seniors to

buy their units and the leasehold interest is registered on the title, while MASH retains ownership of the building like a strata corporation. At the end of the lease, the owner retains 95 per cent of the equity on the unit. During question period MASH president Judith Ray requested that the district involve and consult with them in creating a future policy for affordable or low-income housing. She said some of the existing housing spaces for seniors mentioned in the report either do not exist anymore or are old and will soon need to be replaced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If those things are fading in their usefulness, what along the way will replace it and how can we collectively do that as a community?â&#x20AC;?

A development application will now be submitted to the district, and he hopes that first reading will appear before council within a few weeks. Carhoun is hop-

New bylaw proposed A Mission councillor has distributed a letter to downtown businesses explaining proposed bylaw changes he requested at Monday’s council meeting to address problem downtown properties. “There is a small number of properties whose landlords have abandoned industry standards of screening tenants, opting for quick and direct profit at the expense of neighbours and taxpayers in Mission,” writes Nelson Tilbury. The letter states that instead of renting to responsible tenants, the premises are being rented to “undesirables who often feed on the other good, hardworking commercial property owners in the area.” Tilbury recommended that staff look for guidance from two New Westminster bylaws. Part of the bylaws pertain to the landlord’s responsibility to provide sanitary facilities and maintain proper working order of services and utilities, but it also deals with tenants who incur “repeat nuisance service calls” from police and municipal officials. For any tenants who receive three or more nuisance service calls for a single residential property in a 12 month period, the landlord may be fined. Tilbury said these should reduce policing costs.

A male suspected of robbing a couple of local stores at knife point within two days has been arrested. Mission RCMP were called to Wentings’ Cycle and Mountain Shop on North Railway Avenue Monday afternoon after a man, mistaking two female customers as employees, pulled a knife and demanded money. When they didn’t give him any, he approached the store owner, and made off with a small amount of cash. The male was found minutes later by police and arrested inside a nearby business. Just before 10 p.m. Feb. 19, a knife-wielding male entered the Petro Canada station on Horne Street and ordered the employee to give him money and left with an undisclosed sum. The suspect was described as wearing a black balaclava, black and grey jacket, and a black hoodie. Anyone with information regarding these or any similar incidents are asked to contact the Mission RCMP at 604-8267161. If you wish to remain anonymous please call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

OPINION

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

Politics are changing We’ve heard it many times, and seen it a few times during election campaigns. Social media has changed the way politics is done. Last week’s “vikileaks,” a series of tweets about Public Safety Minister Vic Toews’ divorce, has focused attention on how easily information can be shared over the Internet. It also highlights the fact that politics, and federal politics in particular, is a game played with no rules and no protection. Toews became the target of an individual or group who created a Twitter account, and then proceeded to broadcast details of his divorce case, which occurred several years ago. It is likely that the tweets were done from a House of Commons computer, according to some preliminary investigations. He was targeted because he defended a House of Commons bill dealing with online surveillance. The bill would allow police access to information such as an IP (Internet Protocol) address without a warrant. It would not give police access to web surfing information or e-mail without a warrant, but many individuals and groups feel that it opens the door too broadly. Toews unwisely stated that those who opposed the bill were “with the child pornographers,” an unfortunate comparison. One can be concerned about privacy and also be horrified at child porn — at the same time. So he was paid back, via social media. So far, social media hasn’t been used a great deal in trying to change the course of debate on public issues. This incident has proven just how potent it can be. But as with all media, it can be misused, and the suggestion that “vikileaks” may have originated with a political staffer from another party is troubling. It all has served to remind the government that it needs to keep the public onside if it wishes to bring in new ways of doing things.

Last stand in B.C. beetle battle A s MLAs resumed their raucous legislature arguments over a municipal auditor-general, the B.C. government’s own watchdog cut through the noise with a devastating audit of the state of Crown forests. Auditor General John Doyle’s survey of the province’s vast forest comes at a critical time. A team of forest ministry experts is examining the situation at Burns Lake, to see if the Babine Lake Forest Products sawmill can be rebuilt, after a tragic explosion and fire on Jan. 20. Babine was one of a string of high-volume mills along Highway 16 in northwestern B.C. that have been working their way through the enormous stock of decaying pine that surrounds them. The “shelf life” of these trees is estimated to extend to 2019, but that’s a best-case scenario. In reality the expanse affected by pest and disease is much more complex. The B.C. government touts its “Forests for Tomorrow” program that started in 2005 with a boost of federal funds to restock B.C.’s burned and beetle-killed

can’t say if there are enough logs available to rebuild Babine. Simpson says the industry knows the answer. Two of the world’s highest-capacity sawmills are at Houston and Vanderhoof, on either side of Burns Lake, and their huge salvage log supply is degrading and running out. A political intervention to “save” the Burns Lake mill would only take shifts away from others. An alternative would be to make Burns Lake a proving ground for bioenergy, to deal with the huge mass of trees that will never make lumber. Finally, a bright note for Burns Lake. The people and the economy are adapting. A job fair in the village offered entry-level as well as skilled positions at the Houston and Vanderhoof mills. There are more positions on offer at the Mount Milligan and Huckleberry mines and Enbridge, which has gas, solar and wind projects on the go.

Former councillor’s statement questioned Editor, The Record: Re: Stewart voted against first, second readings, Feb. 9 edition. I’m uncertain as to whether former councillor Heather Stewart’s memory is selective or faulty. The fact is that she originally spoke in favour of the Meakin application at the council

meeting of Sept. 7. She voted against first and second reading only because that motion did not send the application to

public hearing which she felt should happen. So for her to state as she did at a recent council meeting that she has

always been opposed to the application is simply inaccurate. Ron Taylor Mission

Editor, The Record: The recent question of the week, “Should council waive DCCs [development cost charges] on municipal projects” is timely given the subject of the Feb. 6 council meeting. An interesting delegation by the Mission Association for Seniors Housing, and a time limited lease advocate appeared asking for financial help from

well-established middle class. On the surface it looks like the not-so-well-off low-income seniors who could never afford to buy into this project are subsidizing those who can. Is this a concept taxpayers want to embrace? I expect this council to examine this proposal and act in the interests of all taxpayers. T.B. Mortimer Mission

the taxpayer, again, as apparently the previous council already subsidized this so-called “affordable” seniors’ housing project by waiving the amenity contribution/fee. Can anyone define the word “affordable?” After some revealing concerns from councillors, the delegation admitted it wasn’t low-income seniors they were targeting to buy into this project, but rather a

Walter keynote speaker Saturday The second community leadership session is being held this Saturday at the Clarke Theatre, featuring keynote speaker, former NHL player Ryan Walter. The main address at 9:30 a.m. focuses on the power of influence, followed by a workshop with facilitator Christine McLeod. Walter is the president of the Abbotsford Heat hockey team, and this session will appeal to anyone involved with coaching or leading sports teams in the community. His talk will be followed by the Leader Within workshop. Facilitator Christine McLeod will teach how leadership is not about the title on your business card, but about how you conduct yourself everywhere to elevate others and bring out their brilliance. Individuals or organizations can register at the reasonable cost of $20 per session. To register or for more information visit www.missionchamber. bc.ca or contact Building Community Leadership chair Michelle Favero manager@missionchamber.bc.ca.

Heritage preservers honoured Those dedicated to helping preserve Mission’s history were honoured Sunday afternoon at the annual Mission Community Heritage Commission awards as part of Heritage Week. Sharon Syrette was given the special heritage achievement award for her work documenting and preserving local history, and specifically for her efforts during Hatzic Elementary School’s centennial celebrations last year. The Mission District Historical Society received the education and promotion of heritage honour in recognition of its 40 years of local work, which includes the formation of the museum, community archives and Heritage Places branches.

Jepsen signs with Bieber’s label It is shaping up to be a very exciting year for 26-year-old Mission singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen. Her 2011 hit single Call Me Maybe just hit platinum and she’s the newest addition to Schoolboy Records, the label run by Justin Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun. Jepsen, 26, was performing on MuchMusic’s New Music Live last week, when she was interrupted by a pre-recorded video message from Bieber, announcing she’d been picked up by Schoolboy. “When I was actually in Canada, I heard a song on the radio called Call Me Maybe, and I immediately fell in love with the song,” said

Bieber in the video. “I thought it was a smash. I just wanted to tell everybody that we signed her, so everyone go check her out... she’s going to blow up.” He even hinted that a collaboration with Jepsen was possible. The announcement coincided with the release of Canadian Idol runner-up’s sophomore album Curiosity. Jepsen, who grew up in Maple Ridge and Mission, is currently on tour with Hanson. “I feel shocked and speechless and I’m very grateful,” said an overwhelmed Jepsen on New Music Live. “It’s a very cool adventure to go on and I couldn’t be more excited.”

Cedar Valley Manor is selling quickly and it is easy to see why. The Mission Association for Seniors Housing (MASH) has a new project on the go. After successfully developing and operating The Cedars, MASH is now developing Cedar Valley Manor, a life lease for independent seniors. Cedar Valley Manor has been purposely designed for seniors in Mission who want to downsize but who are also looking for a warm and supportive community where life is simple. As Judith Ray, the President of MASH says: “Residents can live maintenance free at Cedar Valley Manor. Here they will be able to carry on living in the community they love without having to worry about the yard, snow removal, and the upkeep of their house. And as a Life Lease,” she continues “Mission seniors will have their financial interests secured and looked after as well.” Many people have been wondering about the “Life Lease” model used at Cedar Valley Manor, and as explained by Kate Mancer, Director of Cedar Valley Manor: “Life Lease is a form of tenure perfectly suited to seniors. It allows them

to securely use the equity built up after years of home ownership and provides a wonderful sense of community.” In a Life Lease the resident pays an upfront cost, or “entrance fee,” which is used to pay for the construction of the building, plus a monthly fee which includes general building upkeep and replacement reserves. Taxes are extra but life lease residents qualify for the Homeowner Grant. When people move out, they get 95% of their money back— with no worries about the real estate market and estate planning is so simple. Life lease residents don’t have to worry about management concerns, or being part of a strata council—all of that is looked after by a trusted community-based non-profit organization. Residents know their interests are being looked after by a group whose sole purpose is to provide good quality affordable housing for the seniors of Mission. The MASH mission statement sums it all up perfectly: “Caring for Those Who Cared for Us.”

Just sharing the bear necessities It’s a fact: bears live in our neighbourhoods. While we may enjoy the occasional glimpse from a safe distance, inviting bears into our backyards can create serious hazards, both for people and for bears. With a growing bear population and residential developments advancing further into bear habitat, it is everyone’s responsibility to make sure that bears and people stay at a safe distance from one another. One person’s bad habits can create problems for a whole neighbourhood. Bears that have become habituated to human smells and garbage are a hazard and are often destroyed. Help them out by not luring them into close contact with humans. To avoid unwanted encounters with bears, store your garbage in a bear-resistant garbage container in a secure building. Do not put out your garbage and compost materials until the morning of collection. Pick up fallen fruit promptly and feed your pets indoors. Even bird feeders can attract a hungry bear, so remove them between April and November and stretch piano wire at least three metres off the ground to hang them in the winter. Did you know that the smell of petroleum also attracts bears? Ensure that all rubber, tarpaper, paint, turpentine, kerosene and charcoal fluids are put away and keep barbecues clean. If you have a backyard compost, add only small amounts of fruit and vegetable scraps at a time and immediately mix them in with the compost. Sprinkling garden lime on compost speeds up the decomposition process and decreases odours. Never put dairy products, bread or meat in your backyard compost.

Always make ample noise if you are in an area where bears can be expected. With enough notice, most bears will leave the area to avoid conflict. If you do encounter a bear, stay calm and speak to it in a calm, firm voice to let him know you are a person. A mother with cubs may “bluff” charge at you, if she perceives you as a threat to her young, but will likely stop short of actual contact. If this happens, back away slowly, continuing to talk to the bear. If a black bear actually attacks you, fight back. Carrying bear spray is a good idea, but can only serve as a last resort in case of actual conflict. Prevention is by far the best strategy — please do your part. For more information, visit: www.env. gov.bc.ca/cos/info/wildlife_human_interaction/docs/ conflicts_policy.html# and www.bearaware.bc.ca/.

Candles are one of the most common causes of fire One of the major causes of home fires is leaving burning candles unattended. It is easy to forget that such a calming artifact is an open flame that can reach 1,400C. Most candle fires begin in the bedroom with a mattress or bedding cited as the first item to ignite. Statistics reveal that the most common causes of fire are: • leaving candles unattended; • falling asleep while a candle is lit; • using candles for light; • candles located too close to flammable objects; • candles knocked over by children, pets or sudden drafts.

PAY IT

Safety tips • Extinguish candles when leaving the room or going to sleep; • keep lit candles away from items that can catch fire such as toys, clothing, books, curtains, and paper decorations; • place candles in sturdy, burn-resistant containers that won’t tip over and are big enough to collect dripping wax; • don’t place lit candles near windows where blinds or curtains may close or blow over them; • don’t use candles in high traffic areas where children or pets could knock them over; • never let candles burn out completely.

Extinguish them when they get to within two inches of the holder or decorative material; • never leave children or pets alone in a room with lit candles; • do not allow older children to light candles in their bedrooms. A forgotten candle or an accident is all it takes to start a fire; • During power outages, exercise caution when using candles as a light source. Many destructive fires start when potential fire hazards go unnoticed in the dark; • never use a candle for light when fuelling equipment such as a camp fuel heater or lantern; • keep candle wicks short at all times. Trim the wick to one-quarter inch (6.4 mm); • be wary of buying novelty candles. Avoid candles surrounded by flammable paint, paper, dried flowers, or breakable/meltable containers; • extinguish taper and pillar candles when they burn to within two inches of the holder, and container candles before the last half-inch of wax begins to melt; • when buying or using novelty candles try to determine if they pose a potential fire hazard (if they contain a combustible component for instance). If they do, or if you suspect that they might, inform your

that may be along your path. The law • there are no legal standards or regulations

for candles, including their make, design, safety features, location or use; • candles are not tested by a testing

Living near slopes and gullies Landslides have occurred within the District of Mission and have resulted in considerable loss of property and impacts to public infrastructure and usually occur as a result of heavy rains or snowmelt. 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 hiring a geotechnical engineer to complete regular stability assessments of your property and implement any recommendations.

Geotechnical engineering firms can be found in the yellow pages. District engineering staff is available to answer your questions. Contact Mike Younie by phone at 604820-3798 or by e-mail.

A long time ago…

When a community experienced harm, crime or conﬂict The community came together to restore harmony There were no police, or courts, or judges. Today, many things have changed. But we still have the capacity to restore harmony To bring together all who have been affected by an incident To hear who was harmed and how they were harmed and what can be done to repair things.

Today Mission Restorative Resolutions is recruiting volunteers to complete our comprehensive training and then serve the community for two years. Volunteers will be trained to facilitate resolutions to referred incidents of harm, crime or conﬂict based on the values, principles and practices of restorative justice. Referrals to the service come from the RCMP, School District 75, and Crown Counsel. Training takes place on Tuesday evenings from 6:30-9:30 and some weekend days over a period of 13 weeks. If you’ve been looking for a way to serve your community and the ideas of accountability, safety, justice and harmony resonate with you, we’d love to hear from you.

Training Starts Soon.

Local actor Trevor Crosby plays William Blore in Opening Nite Theatre’s spring production of Agatha Christies’ And Then There Were None, opening March 9 at Opening Nite Theatre. This is one of the most popular of Agatha Christie’s murder mysteries. The story revolves around 10 people who are invited to Soldier Island, off the coast of Devon for a vacation on the weekend of Aug. 8, by the mysterious Mr. U.N. Owen. They arrive, but strangely their host and hostess are nowhere to be found. They are told that their host and hostess are currently away and the guests are shifted into their rooms. They are stuck on the island with no way out as the weather is not favourable for boats to arrive. Tragedies begin to occur and one by one they are murdered. Then suddenly they realize the significance of the nursery rhyme displayed above the bookcase in the living room …‘Ten little Soldier boys went out to dine, one choked his little self and then there were nine.’ As there is no one else on the island but the 10 guests, they come to the conclusion that the killer must be one of them. But who? The play runs March 9-11, 16-18, and 23-25. Evening performances

take place at 8 p.m while Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Tickets are $12 from

Murdoch’s Bookshoppe on First Avenue or at the door.

GREED, ENVY AND COVETOUSNESS The Bible tells us that we should “keep our life free from love of money, and be content with what we have.” ( Hebrews 13:5) We are a competitive people, and for many, this is not always an easy thing to do; however, we should always be aware that envy and greed have a tendency to consume and demoralize one’s whole being. When we are truly content with ourselves, we become pleased for the blessings that others receive, as well as for our own many blessings. When a friend receives a job promotion, purchases a new car, or obtains any blessing, a sincere expression of happiness and congratulations to them will help check the feeling of envy. This attitude is beneficial to both the giver and the receiver, and is a gesture of the way God wants us to act. Being a good worker and earning money to provide for our loved ones is necessary and can be difficult at times; but, it is also necessary to recall and thank God for our own many blessings as well in order to be content with what we have.

Take heed, and beware of all covetousness; for a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. R.S.V. Luke 12:15

The genesis of a book written by a Nova Scotia woman about her Mennonite upbringing in Oklahoma and Ontario began right here in Mission. Mary Ediger was an elementary school teacher in Mission for many years and will be returning here Feb. 29 to read excerpts from her book, Mennonite Girl, at the library. A two-week teachers’ strike in 2005 prompted Ediger to stop musing about writing a book about her childhood and get to work. “I started writing at that point, and printing it out and looking at what I’d written. I ended up reading some of it to some of the people that were picketing Ediger with me and they were very encouraging.” Ediger had always enjoyed teaching novel studies and creative writing, but was a neophyte novelist when she put pen to paper that fall. The book takes place during a five-year period from six to 12 years old when her parents moved to the north end of Hamilton, Ont. to become social workers. She said she struggled quite a bit to write the transition of moving from a tiny town in Oklahoma to living in a big city like Hamilton. “We couldn’t even hardly see a house from where we lived to moving into an area of Hamilton that was so densely populated with kids everywhere.” Ediger says the book isn’t about just being Mennonite, but being from another culture and trying to fit into a new community, something to which she thinks everybody can relate. She remembers well the culture shock of

THE POWER OF GRANDMOTHERS UNITED! The Steven Lewis Foundation for Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign was launched in 2006 and has 240 groups across Canada. The goal is to help grandmothers across Africa raise the grandchildren of parents who have died of AIDS. The program also provides food and health care, as well as school fees and uniforms for the children being cared for by their grandmothers. On November 15, the Mission group held their Ärst ofÄcial meeting and chose for themselves the Title, “Powerhouse Gogo’s”. GoGo is the African word for Grandmother.

This group is not only for grandmothers! It accepts “grand others” who are sympathetic to the plight of African grandmothers struggling to bring up their grandchildren in the most difÄcult circumstances.
