DURIEU CLOSING, DEROCHE STAYS OPEN School board trustees vote unanimously to close Durieu Elementary School BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

Deroche Elementary School avoided closure Tuesday night, but Durieu elementary was not as fortunate. Angry parents stormed out of the meeting at Hatzic Secondary School moments after school trustees voted unanimously to shut the rural facility’s doors by the end of June, 2011. Trustees voted 3-2 to keep Deroche open. Declining enrolment put both schools on the chopping block late last year, but the risks to students, educationally and socially, were too great in Deroche, decided trustees. The student population of Durieu will merge with Hatzic elementary in September. Trustees used eight criteria — such as bus ride times, and maximizing fiscal resources — to aid in making their decisions. Secretary treasurer Carrie McVeigh said closing Durieu would save approximately $298,000 annually, while shutting down Deroche would trim $288,000. And while each trustee said money is not the bottom line in their decision, it couldn’t be ignored. “We have provincially mandated budgets,” said

Trustee Karen Petty. “It sounds a little cold, but that fact needs to be acknowledged.” Durieu parents have said for months the school’s traditional status was never marketed properly by the school board since the change in 2005. At a public meeting in January, Durieu PAC said if more support was given, it would bring students to the school. Trustees disagreed. “I have a problem believing it’s sustainable,” said Trustee Randy Cairns. This sentiment was echoed by other trustees. “I believe Durieu is the wrong location for a traditional school,” said Petty, while Trustee Carol Hamilton said families move to the Durieu area because it’s rural, not for the traditional school. Deroche’s lower socioeconomic demographic and its aboriginal student composition swayed trustees to keep the eastern Mission school open. “I will say that I think Deroche is a little different,” said Cairns, adding research shows positive results for aboriginal students when they live closer to their school. “We risk losing everything we’ve already achieved [in Deroche],” said Trustee Pam Alexis.

Petty and board chair Cindy Miller supported closing Deroche. “It’s not fair to that school to revisit this in two years,” opined Petty. Speaking after the meeting, Durieu PAC spokesperson Ian MacLachlan said that while he respects the board has to deal with the resources its given, they made the wrong decision. “The money saved is disproportionate to the

cost to the community.” Leq’a:mel First Nation Chief Alice Thompson said that while she’s happy Deroche will stay open, she was uncomfortable with the apparent weighting that school’s aboriginal population had on trustees’ decisions. “There was a bit of an overemphasis of aboriginal in this conversation. I didn’t want that to be the deciding factor,” she said.

The Missing Women Task Force is seeking the public’s help in identifying a woman whose DNA was found on the farm of serial killer Robert Pickton. On Feb. 23, 1995, a partial skull with an attached vertebra was located in a creek by a person filling their water bottle in Mission. The creek was situated just south of the Lougheed Highway, about 800 metres east of the Ruskin bridge. Several forensic experts were used in trying to identify her. In August 2002, bones recovered during the search of serial killer Robert Pickton’s farm were confirmed to be genetically linked to the partial skull. Investigators worked with a sketch artist from the Federal Bureau of Investigations to develop a composite drawing based on what was learned from the victim’s skull. The woman’s DNA profile has been provided to every lab across Canada and, along with the composite drawings, has been shared with Interpol and its 188 member countries. This ensures her information is available for comparison by other police agencies with missing person files. The victim is described as a Caucasian woman between 20 and 40 years old. She was missing teeth in the upper right portion of her jaw, and might have worn dentures. Her death would have been between 1985 and 1995. Sgt. Dan Almas with Project Even-

PSIT operations still on hold Outbursts disrupt council meeting BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

The controversial Public Safety Inspection Team’s (PSIT) operations will remain on hold until late May. Mission council deferred the team’s work for 30 days on Jan. 24 (with the exception of referrals from the RCMP) until a review into the governing bylaw is complete. At Monday’s council meeting, Mayor James Atebe provided an update and asked council to uphold the postponement until the necessary bylaw amendments are made. The review is about 95 per cent complete, said Atebe, and a report will be ready for the March 7 council meeting, with the document posted to the district’s website by March 3. Coun. Jenny Stevens caught her colleagues by surprise when she also asked PSIT to not take on police referrals unless criminal charges will be pursued. “If police are not confident in charges, I don’t think we should be imposing an inspection,” Stevens

explained. “I would rather see 10 guilty go free than one innocent charged.” Neither council nor PSIT instructs police on when to lay charges, and PSIT only enters because of building safety concerns, argued other councillors, who wanted to hear from RCMP. Charges aren’t always laid because police can’t establish who’s responsible for the grow op, said Coun. Paul Horn. “PSIT does an inspection based on the BC Building Code.” After calling for two recesses due to disruptive behaviour from members of the public, councillors defeated Stevens’ amendment and unanimously agreed to continue deferring operations until May 24. A third recess had to be taken during question period when a man who had been asked to leave the meeting earlier returned and took over the microphone. Several attempts by the chair to remove the individual were unsuccessful, and police were eventually called. When councillors returned to the table 15 minutes later, without police presence, most of the audience had left and council continued with the remainder of the agenda.

Recommendations to be phased in by May 2011 BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

A review of Mission’s controlled substance property bylaw will help the district determine the next steps for its public safety inspection team (PSIT). A series of recommendations were approved by council at a closed session before Monday night’s public meeting, said Paul Gipps, the district’s deputy chief administrative officer, due to human resources and legal issues. The recommendations will be phased in before May, and include how to deal with current open cases and restructuring PSIT. There are about 100 active cases now and each will be reviewed by district staff. PSIT’s reports are largely based on building codes and reviewers will make sure remediation orders can be substantiated and that there is sufficient evidence against any homeowner charged the $5,200 inspection fee. “If evidence is marginal, we’ll be more careful,” said Gipps. “We don’t have the ability to reduce the fee, but we can remove it.” The district is dismantling its full-time inspection

team, using in-house resources instead. A team will be pulled together on as as-needed basis, noted Gipps, adding future inspection fees will also be reduced due to lower operating costs. Details of the plan are still being worked out, as well as an administrative review that will outline the process for future PSIT disputes. Gipps has been conducting the review, and came up with the recommendations after consulting with legal advisors and other municipalities. Mission’s program is not much different than other communities, but it’s clear the impact to a number of individuals is significant and that’s not the intent, said Gipps. “How we communicate is primarily the huge issue, and we’re trying to address communication before, during and after [an inspection].” The district is working on a public education and information program and has hired a public relations firm to disseminate the message. A report will be ready for the March 7 council meeting and the district will seek public input in the spring.

Doors will remain open at local BBBS Restructuring affects Fraser Valley operations BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

A look at Durieu’s history • Children first walked through the doors of Durieu elementary on Sept. 7, 1982, but the school didn’t have an official grand opening until Dec. 14. • The new school boasted six classrooms, a library, a gym, and could accommodate 200 students. About 125 children were registered to attend the first year. • The school opened in time despite a provincewide construction lockout

which affected mechanical contractors, but temporary portable washrooms had to be used. • Durieu was built to replace the aging McConnell Creek and Hatzic Prairie elementary schools. • The new school cost $947,415 to build. The five-acre property was purchased from Frank Kokoszka for $70,000 in September 1981, and the school district had to spend $20,000 to

raise the property two feet to meet flood plain requirements. • The school’s playground was built in 1983 with help from Inmates in the Community work service program and Chilliwack Forest Camp. • To combat declining enrolment, Durieu switched to a traditional model in 2005. • School board trustees voted to close the school on Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2011.

Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) operations in Mission will continue apace after news late last week that Chilliwack’s office is downsizing and Maple Ridge’s is closing. “There won’t be too much impact in Mission,” said BBBS Abbotsford Mission executive director David Sheach on Monday. “We will be keeping the office and staffing in place.” The office serving Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows is shutting down next month, citing cuts to charitable grants by the provincial government as the culprit. “It is with regret that we cannot continue to provide mentoring services to the Ridge-Meadows area” said Edwin Palsma, president of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Abbotsford, Mission, Ridge Meadows chapter. “What we have learned over the past year is that many agencies across the country are experiencing similar challenges and that really tough decisions have to be made.” That chapter, as well as many others across the province, has seen its annual provincial gaming grant fall from $230,000 last year

to nothing this year. As a result, BBBS can’t afford to pay the mentor coordinator responsible for the area, and the two chapters serving the Fraser Valley will begin sharing services as a cost-saving measure next month. Two full-time staff have already been cut in Chilliwack, and the majority of staff will be moved to the agency’s Abbotsford office. “It’s been regrettable that we have to take this step,” said Shirley Wilson, executive director for BBBS Upper Fraser Valley. She added that the two Fraser Valley chapters may have to amalgamate if the economic situation doesn’t improve. - with files from Maple Ridge News and Chilliwack Progress

Ruskin dam upgrade to cost $800 million BC Hydro hopes to pump $800 million into the Ruskin Dam as part of its $6 billion plan to upgrade aging facilities across the province. The dam, which sits on the Maple Ridge-Mission border, was built more than 80 years ago, and hasn’t seen a significant upgrade since the last generator was added in the 1950s. BC Hydro is proposing to replace the dam’s aging powerhouse equipment, while making the dam safe in the event of an earthquake. When completed, the dam will generate enough electricity to power 33,000 homes, and will be able to withstand a one-in10,000-year earthquake. BC Hydro filed the project application Monday with the B.C. Utilities Commission, which still needs to approve the project before it can move ahead. But con-

struction could begin as early as 2012. The project is expected to take six years to complete, with crews working 20 hours a day, six days a week. BC Hydro estimates the project will generate approximately 1,050 person-years of employment during construction. The project will include seismic upgrades to the right bank of the

dam, as well as the powerhouse structure. The powerhouse’s aging generators and turbines will be replaced, and the dam’s spillway gates and piers will also upgraded. A new two-lane road over the dam with a pedestrian walkway will be built, while the powerhouse will have its historic facade restored. The dam upgrade, which is expected to cost

between $718 million and $857 million, is part of BC Hydro’s $6 billion, three-year capital investment strategy. The plan is aimed at meeting future energy demands by upgrading dams and generating stations, building new transmission lines and substations. BC Hydro estimates the province’s demand for electricity will grow by 40 per cent in the next 20 years. However, many facilities, such as Ruskin Dam, are aging and in need of massive repairs. The investment will come at a price, however, and BC Hydro president Dave Cobb admitted electricity rates are likely to climb as a result. “Infrastructure upgrades will put upward pressure on rates, which may be challenging for many people,” Cobb said in a press release Tuesday. “We will continue to make prudent decisions on behalf of our customers while also providing them with tools they can use to help manage their own energy use and minimize the impact on their monthly electricity bills.” B.C. energy minister Steve Thomson touted the project as being critical for the B.C. economy. “B.C. is growing and electricity is the backbone of that economic growth. We need to maintain our competitive advantage of having among the lowest rates in North America, while at the same time investing in our facilities to ensure British Columbians continue to enjoy safe, clean and reliable electricity for future generations to come.” Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows NDP MLA Michael Sather recognizes the need for seismic upgrades to the aging facility, but hopes the investment isn’t a prelude to privatization. “We’ve seen the Liberal government move ahead with privatization, and that is troubling,” he said. “It’s a big chunk of money... I just hope they’re not getting the taxpayer to fix up the asset so they can then sell it off.”

New voices on committee UNBeLiEVaBLe! not likely, says MLA Hawes Citizens’ association wants to introduce alternate to APP BY ROBERT FREEMAN Black Press

Fraser Valley residents opposed to a gravel removal plan are asking for a seat at the committee that developed the Aggregate Pilot Project (APP) after five years of closed-door negotiations. But Abbotsford-Mission MLA Randy Hawes, who holds the trump card as B.C.’s minister of state for mining, said he has “no intention” of seeing new members added to the committee. “We’ve got a number of elected representatives who have a mandate to speak for the people, and that’s who’s sitting [at the committee],” Hawes said. But Yale area director Dennis Adamson said the three Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) directors at the APP committee are duty-bound to represent gravel producers in their areas, so can’t solely champion the public’s interest. He said if the APP is “truly a living document” and open to change as Hawes and others claim, then there should be room at the com-

mittee for public input. The committee is currently comprised of B.C. government officials, FVRD directors and gravel industry members. The APP, a tripartite agreement reached by the committee in 2009, must be approved by each municipality in the FVRD region, which requires public hearings to make zoning changes and amendments to official community plans. But the newly-formed Fraser Valley Regional District Citizens’ Association claims the APP is “flawed” and is asking FVRD directors to support its bid for a seat at the committee. “It’s a community-driven response to what we consider the flawed [APP],” FCA spokeswoman Cynthia Berge said. She said the association is an “umbrella” group for other citizens’ organizations in the region, making it comparable to the members of the gravel producers’ association already sitting at the committee table. The association hopes to bring an alternate plan called the Aggregate Supply Project (ASP) to the committee, she said. It calls for a province-wide moratorium on new gravel pits, and cancellation of permits approved in the last two years in areas where there was public opposition.

”

It’s a community-driven response to what we consider the flawed [APP].

But Hawes called the ASP “absolutely, completely unworkable” and cancellation of permits in “conflict areas” would cause a flurry of lawsuits. “Can you imagine what the courts would say if the B.C. government tried to trammel on the rights of corporations?” he asked. “We’re probably talking tens of millions of dollars in compensation.” He also said the cost of homebuilding would “skyrocket” if gravel producers were forced to locate in more remote areas of the province. Paul Allard, B.C. Aggregate Producers’ Association executive director, did not return phone calls for comment on the FCA’s proposal.

OPINION

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

Show respect for all Mission council struggled Monday for the second time in as many months to control an audience that had mostly turned out to hear discussions about the controversial bylaw governing the Public Safety Inspection Team. The item was last on the agenda, but council moved it to the top, recognizing those in the packed chamber were there for that issue. But instead of listening and respecting discussion among elected officials, some people felt it was their right to disrupt formal proceedings. Council was forced to call three recesses after name-calling and racist remarks were made. This isn’t acceptable behaviour on a child’s playground, so why are adults bringing such disgrace into council chambers, the one room in the district that demands respect for everyone, even from those who disagree? Only a few people were an embarrassment, but one is too many; even those on the same side asked council not to pass judgement on everyone opposed to the bylaw based on the actions of a few individuals. Kudos to those with calmer heads who explained to others there are processes to follow even if you disagree, otherwise nothing will get accomplished. The meeting rules are universal and not something the district makes up every time. Everyone sitting in council chambers deserves respect and council should not hesitate to remove someone, because when one outburst is allowed, more follow. Police were eventually called, but it was too late as the offending parties had left and the business was over. Let’s hope the scene isn’t repeated for a third time on March 7 when the issue returns to the table. We all deserve better.

Campbell legacy uncertain G

ordon Campbell was in a buoyant mood as he left the legislative chamber after his final question period as premier. “Free at last, free at last,” he said, quoting a traditional song made famous by U.S. civil rights leader Martin Luther King. The shackles of high office officially remain around his ankles for another week or so, but with a stand-pat budget awaiting the next premier’s priorities, his 27-year career as an elected politician is effectively over. Campbell’s place in B.C. history is secure on several fronts, including scheduled elections, reduced business and personal tax rates and a more mature relationship with Ottawa. There are at least two important areas where his achievements remain in doubt: aboriginal relations and climate change. In interviews last week, Campbell said his greatest regret was the demise of the Recognition and Reconciliation Act. That law would have recognized a form of aboriginal rights and title

across the province, essentially a huge out-of-court settlement for the 90 per cent of B.C. that remains without treaty settlements. It all collapsed pretty quickly, partly because it was seen as a backroom deal that was to be pushed through before the 2009 election. The mining and forest industries were alarmed, the legislation was held back, aboriginal leaders took it to hearings, and chiefs around the province rejected it as a wateredTo down version of the rights they believed they could win in court. It is remarkable that Campbell went from “professional Indian fighter,” as he was characterized by some after his 2002 referendum on treaty settlements, to the architect of the “New Relationship,” arguably a toogenerous bid to untie B.C.’s biggest political knot. The Tsawwassen and Maa-

Nulth treaties are important, but they were hashed out the old-fashioned way, with years and lawyers and consultants and sacks of taxpayers’ money. Two northern B.C. Liberal MLAs voted against them; the split remains. On climate change, one could say he scored at least a field goal. When I sat down with him last week, he mentioned a recent conference in California he attended with George Schultz, the economist and business m executive who rose to be secretary of state for Ronald Reagan. With plans for a carbon trading system in disarray in the U.S., Campbell said Schultz pointed to B.C.’s revenue neutral carbon tax and said that is exactly what other jurisdictions should be doing to reduce greenhouse gases. By 2012, the B.C. carbon tax will account for just

B.C. Views

Fletcher

under seven cents on a litre of gasoline, on top of other fuel taxes B.C. and Ottawa continue to collect. It will set a “carbon price” of $30 a tonne across all fossil fuels. Campbell is convinced the carbon tax will survive, if not grow. He says leadership candidates should look at continuing the increases that are mandated until 2012, and continuing to offset them with personal and business income tax reductions. One leadership candidate is already touting the benefits of the carbon tax, and surprisingly, he’s not a B.C. Liberal. The NDP’s John Horgan now admits he was wrong to oppose the tax, but he wants it extended to the non-fuel emissions of heavy industries. Campbell’s climate agenda will have to reach beyond today’s mainly symbolic effort and spread to other jurisdictions if it is going to change the course of B.C. history.

Ban cosmetic pesticides RTA overly favours tenants Editor, The Record: This week marks one year since the B.C. government called upon the public to provide input into restricting chemical cosmetic pesticides. Over 8,000 e-mails, online comments, and petition signatures were submitted as a result of the consultation and the vast majority of responses were in favour of banning the use and sale of cosmetic pesticides. To mark this anniversary, the Canadian Cancer Society BC and Yukon created a special weblink at www. cancergameplan.ca where members of the public can provide their input by e-mail, by contacting the BC Liberal and NDP leadership candidates, or by joining the Pesticide Free BC Facebook group. Cosmetic, or non-essential, pesticides are used to improve the appearance of lawns, gardens, and various recreational facilities such as parks. Research has linked pesticide exposure with an increased risk of both childhood and adult cancers. These include childhood and adult leukemia, non-Hodgkin lym-

phoma, prostate, brain and lung cancers. Studies show children may be at a higher risk due to their rapidly developing bodies. According to a recent poll commissioned by the Canadian Cancer Society, the majority of British Columbians support a phase-out of cosmetic pesticides on private and public properties (over 70 per cent). The poll also revealed that support for a phase-out between Liberal and NDP voters is about equal, that there is no difference in support between rural or urban residents, and that most B.C. residents are willing to try alternatives. The government needs to hear from all British Columbians that now is the time to put our health and the environment first and eliminate this unnecessary risk once and for all by passing strong, comprehensive legislation as soon as possible.

Now the landlord gets to obtain a Writ of Possession and must hire a bailiff to remove the tenant. The cost to the landlord can exceed $5,000. The cost to the tenant: zero. I suggest that if a tenant does not dispute the notice to vacate, a landlord should be able to remove them within

B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell sat through his last session in the legislature as premier on Thursday. Earlier in the week he sat down with Black Press legislative reporter Tom Fletcher to talk about his decade in B.C.’s top job and what he sees in the future. Q: Do you think the harmonized sales tax is going to survive the referendum?

If you are a buyer or seller of forest products we need to hear from you. This discussion will assist us in creating a concept for a robust and easy to use website that will help to create relationships that will stimulate new opportunities to develop local sustainable economic activities.

A: I think it has a very good chance of surviving. There are too many workers whose jobs depend on this tax regime, who I think won’t turn their backs on it. There is now an opportunity to think about the impacts. I think there’s a consequence to turning back from the HST and that’s the re-establishment of the PST and the GST. And I think a lot of people haven’t thought about the costs of doing that, the real burdens that it will put back on the economy that have been removed from the economy. So I think people are giving it some time, they’re ready to think seriously about the HST and the consequences of making a decision, so I think there’s a good chance that it will pass. And some of the dire predictions such as restaurants closing don’t seem to

be materializing? They haven’t happened. In fact they’ve seen their revenues have gone up. There is change here, and I’m sure it’s been challenging. A small change, people can pretend it’s going to be a tsunami, there are some waves on the shore, but it’s not a tsunami. Re-

ally what’s happened is everyone is going to be lifted up by the HST because it’s going to make our economy so much more competitive. The forest industry is doing incredibly well in China, they’re finding new investments. Those investments and trade initiatives are direct benefits of the HST.

The mining industry has got huge opportunities, direct beneficiaries of the HST. Construction, manufacturing, the film industry, huge benefits out of the HST. The real issue isn’t whether there are benefits or not. It’s for the people who feel the benefits to actually be out and talking to the public about the things they have to consider before they make the final decision. Is the carbon tax going to survive? There’s been some discussion among leadership candidates about what happens when the scheduled increases run out in 2012. I think there’s no question it will survive as it is. I think there is an opportunity to continue on with the carbon tax that they should be examining, because you’ll use it to reduce personal income tax and create more choices for people. If it’s revenue neutral, I think it makes a huge difference in terms of productivity, in terms of competitiveness, and putting a price on carbon that’s fair and can’t be gamed. So there are real benefits to it. We have an annual announcement now that B.C. is the worst province for child poverty. Do you accept that interpretation, and do you think enough has been done there? I don’t accept the interpretation, but I don’t think it’s relevant whether I accept it or not. I think there’s a feeling that it’s there. I think anyone who really cares about this understands that the low-income cutoff measurements that people often refer to are not relevant. Even Statistics Canada says it’s not relevant. But here’s what’s really important. There’s not one person in government who wants to have any children in poverty. So we have a plan in place that means we’re focusing our resources on people who are lower income, who are in some cases impoverished. We’ve made real progress on that. In fact there’s no province in Canada that’s made as much progress since 2003 as British Columbia. Read the full interview at www.missioncityrecord.com

Ackles keynote speaker at Mission chamber AGM Chamber of Commerce Week continues until Feb. 25, and it provides an opportunity for chambers province-wide to demonstrate the value offered, said the local organization. This value comes in the form of benefits and services to stimulate local economies, direct community promotion and support, and engaging in an important multi-level advocacy role which benefits the entire province, reads the Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce press release. Advocacy efforts of chambers of commerce represent some of their most important work. Chambers raise issues that concern both their members and the community at large with local, provincial and federal governments. Chambers of commerce provide benefit, service and educational programs to their membership, supporting businesses and helping them achieve success.

Annual general meeting Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce is hosting its annual general meeting March 9, featuring a keynote address from 2011 Grey Cup general manager Scott Ackles. Ackles brings years of experience in the sports and entertainment industry to the 2011 Grey Cup Committee, most recently serving as president of the Calgary Stampeders and general manager of the 2009 Grey Cup Festival. Ackles will speak to the opportunities that a major event brings to not just the host city, but surrounding areas and the challenges of planning the Grey Cup Festival. This is a free event but registration is mandatory. The AGM will follow the speaker. Members will be voting on the bylaw amendments and for open positions on the board of directors. The event happens between 7 and 9 p.m. at Rockwell’s, in the chapel room. For information, call 604-826-6914.

committee, and was later on the Mission Hospital Board for nine years, and was active in the Royal Purple Grand Lodge. At one time, she worked for The Fraser Valley Record. After serving as alderwoman from 1957 to 1960, Ethel was elected as Mission’s first woman mayor in 1960, and served in that position until 1966. During her term, she supported the planning and design of Centennial Park and Welton Towers. In 1973, ron Ethel Ogle was named citizen of the year and a neighbourhood park was dedicated in her honour. The area, previously owned by Bill Norrish, was developed under the Assisted Home Ownership Program (AHOP). Ethel had a lifelong interest in affordable housing, and the location seemed a natural choice. She was involved in the construction phase of Welton Towers. Ethel received the Freeman of the City Award, the highest honour available to a local citizen, in recognition of her decades of service. Ethel died in 1979. In 1996, she was acknowledged by the Mission Community Archives Paths and Pathfinders program. In 1999, new playground equipment valued at over $11,000 was installed in the park. In June the following year, firefighters were called to douse a blaze that destroyed the playground, which had to be dismantled. A Century of Conservation: Mission’s Parks and Cultural Spaces exhibit is still showing at the Mission Art Gallery this week. On Saturday, Feb. 26, from 2 to 4 p.m., drop in to share your memories and learn more about the history of our parks. Sharon Syrette will be writing a number of columns on Mission parks and trails history in recognition of BC Heritage Week’s theme of parks and nature preserves.

Our History

Vision Testing COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY Satti Grewal,

thel Ogle, nee Burnham, was born in Manitoba. Her family moved to Mission in 1908 when she was three years old, and she attended school here. She was a member of the Comet Club, and part of a youth group that ran canteens at local recreation events. According to The Fraser Valley Record, she helped to organize a “strike” of local girls, who grew so irate at their wintertime boyfriends that they delivered an ultimatum: “If the Sha boys insist on courting girls from the fields during berry picking season, then the town girls refuse to date them in the winter, spring and fall — a number of Mission lads succumbed to this boycotting pressure.” One of her early jobs was piling fruit for shipping from the Mission railway station, where she met her future husband, Victor, who was a telegraph operator, and later worked at Mission post office. In the 1930s, Ethel was treasurer of the Mission Agricultural Association, and active in planning the annual Fall Fair. During the Second World War, she applied her organizing skills to the Red Cross clothing and welfare

Burning candles can cause house fires Candles are one of the major causes of home fires, especially during the winter. It is easy to forget that such a calming artifact is an open flame that can reach 1,400°C. Most candle fires begin in the bedroom with a mattress or bedding as the first item to ignite, except during the holidays, when more people use candles precariously too close to decorations. Furniture and plastics are cited as the first items in the home to catch fire from a lit candle. 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 burnable objects; • candles knocked over by children, pets or sudden drafts. 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, burnresistant 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). • Use extreme caution when carrying a lit candle. 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 agency for safety before they are put on the market for you to buy. For any fire safety questions you can contact Mission Fire/Rescue Service weekdays at 604-820-3794, or check the District of Mission website at www.mission.ca/fire.

Heritage Park student receives Pick up after your dog award from local Rotary Club and infections to dogs and people. Your own dog can be repeatedly re-infested by parasites in this way. Picking up the feces

PAY IT

The Rotary Club of Mission (Sunrise) would like to recognize Karly Alexander as the Rotary Student of the Month for February and recipient of the club’s Serving from the Heart Award. This honour is presented monthly to one student from the Mission Public School system. Karly Alexander is a third year Leadership Program student at Heritage Park Secondary who is leading the school’s sustainability program, which aims to make it the greenest school in Canada. Some of the program achievements include: 1. A lighting upgrade including auto shut-off systems. 2. The use of day planners that use vegetable-based inks and water based adhesives in their product and white board markers that are refillable and 100 per cent recyclable. Disposable white board markers contain xylene, one of the most toxic chemicals. The latter equates to 3000 less white board markers in the landfill per year. 3. A student-led composting and recycling pilot program which has resulted in a 70 per cent decrease in garbage output. 4. Removed almost all styrofoam and plastic from the school cafeteria and now use compostable materials for its dishes and utensils. Also, a sink was installed in the cafeteria so that students can bring their own dishes and wash them. The school has just launched a utensil drive using re-usable utensils, but if it must use disposable, then compostable ones are used. 5. Sold over 250 stainless steel water bottles to students in the school to encourage not buying bottled water and started a “Bring your own coffee mug” campaign for the student-run coffee shop. 6. The custodians are piloting Extreco cleaning cloths that just needs

Don’t you just hate it when you go for a walk and see someone has not bothered to pick up their dog’s waste? Most dog owners know that when they walk their dog, they are responsible to pick up their feces. Yet there are people who continue to take their dogs for walks and don’t bother to clean up after them. Even if your dog is running free in the off-leash park, it is your responsibility to clean up after them. Did you know that dog waste contaminates the ground and becomes a means of passing intestinal parasites

prevents a great deal of the contamination. Please pick up after your dog. Keep our parks enjoyable for everyone.

Replacing the continual flush urinals with motion sensitive urinals, and are starting to replace 13.25 lpf toilets with six lpf. 9. Unplug the Charger campaign informs students about ghost power and encourages them to unplug their cellphone

chargers. In the future, hopes are for rain-water collection for all grey-water uses and watering playing fields and possibly, some solar power collection at the same time. Students are also planning a horticultural class to expand the garden project. The motto of Rotary International is “Service Above Self” which conveys the humanitarian spirit and values of the organization’s more

than 1.2 million members. Karly emulates this spirit and these values as she seeks no personal reward and is described as very positive, and demonstrates commitment, consistency and initiative to lead others in this project. As Rotarians in Mission, they recognize these qualities of humanitarianism and service in Mission’s young citizens, and presented this award to Karly Alexander.

First fight victory Mission’s Jessy Brown is in Halifax this week, competing in the Canada Winter Games. The Mission Boxing Club fighter took down Jessie Jacobson in the first round.

Icebreakers lose first game in playoffs against Pilots Game two tonight at Leisure Centre

HPSS take long road in Valleys The Heritage Park Highlanders have a much tougher trek to the provincials, but there is still hope, said coach Frank Chan. The senior girls basketball team was decimated by Port Coquitlam’s Riverside Rapids Tuesday night, 8732.

The Mission team still continues on in the Fraser Valleys, but it’s a harder fight. The girls will take on 13thranked Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary this afternoon (Feb. 24), and if the Highlanders win, they move to the next round. If we lose, we’re out, said Chan.

BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

The Mission Icebreakers outshot, outplayed and outhit the Abbotsford Pilots Tuesday. But the cross-river rival still managed to best the local junior B hockey team. After keeping the Pilots scoreless for two periods, a five-minute penalty let Abbotsford get two points on the board, followed by a third power play goal, sealing the Icebreakers fate in game one of the playoffs, 3-2. “It was a really, really good game,” said Icebreakers coach Craig Sherbaty. “We played great for the first two periods.” The Mission team scored in the second and third periods, but couldn’t find the equalizer at MSA Arena to force the game into overtime. Aside from the penalties, Sherbaty said the team dictated the pace and kept most of the action in the Pilots’ end for the majority of the night. “We wanted to make them have to skate over to our end.” Sherbaty noted the Icebreakers are pumped to play the Pilots, and aren’t letting this loss get them down. “One game doesn’t make a series,” he said. Sherbaty said they’re looking to some of their senior players, like Daniel Higgs, Brett Orser and Bryon Maxwell, to guide the team past Abbotsford. The coach noted he’s pleased with how the season has progressed. “We had a goal of making the playoffs and we achieved that.” Game two of the series happens tonight at the Mission Leisure Centre, starting at 7:30 p.m.

The Mission Record Thursday, February 24, 2011 23

Fishing is about catching I

have heard many things criticized within the local sport fishing community, but the one I heard last week takes the cake. Just this last week I was informed by a trusted colleague that lately he is being criticized for catching too many fish. Furthermore, he has been told he is being hard on the resource and should go home after catching two fish. What makes this ludicrous is that we are talking about a catch and release fisherman. If we were all to stop fishing after catching two fish, there would be no reason to buy an annual licence. There would be no incentive to vacation at a fishing lodge or pay for a guide. Tackle shops, boat dealers, and RV sellers would all have cut staff and possibly close their doors. Lastly, there would be no reason to

spend money on a class, DVD, or book to improve your fishing skills, since improvement would only mean going home sooner. In closing let me make this perfectly clear: Fishing is about catching fish; big fish, challenging fish, and large numbers of fish, but take home only what you legitimately need. Je The report Our Lower Mainland lakes are fishing well. Try a slow retrieve or troll with: Big Black, Woolly Bugger, Micro Leach, Bloodworm, Chironomid, Sixpack, Dragonfly Nymph, Halfback, Doc Spratley, Buggy shrimp, or Zulu. Our Lower Mainland beach and estuary fisheries are good for sea-run

cutthroat. Watch for a shift in this fishery over the next two to six weeks, as the larger predators of this genus migrate in search of prime feeding lanes in our local rivers and streams. Try: Epoxy Minnow, Tied Down Minnow, Muddler Minnow, Clouser’s deep Minnow, Lioness, Grizzly King, Mickey ff Finn, Coachman, Knudson’s Spider, Zulu, Purple Joe, or Borden Special. The Fraser River and sloughs are good for cutthroat and dolly varden. For cutthroat try: Rolled Muddler, Mickey Finn, Eggo, Tied Down Minnow, Epoxy Minnow, Winter Stone, Flesh Fly, Professor, Lioness, Coachman, Zulu, Chez

Tight Lines

Weltz

Nymph. For dolly varden try: Large (#4 to #1) Eggo, Dolly Whacker, Bucktail, Epoxy Minnow, Big Black, Muddler, or Zonker. The Vedder River is good for steelhead, dolly varden and rainbow, by the weekend. For steelhead try: big Black, Popsicle, Steelhead Nightmare, Polar shrimp, GP, Thor, Squamish Poacher, Kaufmann Stone, Purple Peril, or Eggo. For rainbow try: Rolled Muddler, Mickey Finn, Eggo, Flesh Fly, Kaufmann Black Stone, Black Gnat, Zulu, Chez Nymph, Big Black, Sixpack, or Renegade. The Stave River is fair to good for steelhead, rainbow and cutthroat. The Chehalis River is good for steelhead and cutthroat. The Harrison River is good for cutthroat, and rainbow.

The Wedding Singer at Hatzic Students and teachers build stage in school’s gym BY CAROL AUN

for an evening of country music with

Mission Record

The Ken McCoy Band. Tickets are $10.

For the first time, music and drama students at Hatzic Secondary will be putting on a show at their school. “We started a music theatre program a few years ago and we always went to the Clarke Theatre [for the performance],” said choral teacher Joe Heslip. But this year they wanted to do it at their own school and built their own stage. “We’re doing it in the small gym,” Heslip explained. Up until last week, students were playing various sports in there, but now the theatre group has taken over in preparation for The Wedding Singer, being performed from Feb. 23-26. There are about 70 students and volunteers involved in the production, including Wendy Lewington’s art class which painted sets, and shop teacher Doug McNeill who lent the school’s half car. The school’s band, led by instructor Julie Aldridge, is also a big part of the play and support from the administrative staff made everything possible, said Heslip. He noted although some of the content from the movie had to be toned down to make it more PG 13, the show will still push boundaries for a high school production. Grade 12 students Dustin Kuzek will star as Robbie Hart and Tasha Leginus will play Julia Sullivan. Kuzek and Leginus have both been a part of the school’s theatre program for the past few years and plan to continue in the field after graduation. There is a strong cast and a lot of ensemble members, said Heslip,

The pub is located about five minutes east of Mission, just off Highway 7. For more information call 604-8264762.

• FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25: The fourth annual Golden Idol Talent Contest takes place at Cedarbrooke Chateau on Seventh Avenue. Proceeds from the event will go to Mission Association for Seniors’ Housing. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12 each and available at Cedarbrooke.

Classical finale features woodwind chamber music Concertgoers in Mission should not adjust their timepieces. The season finale for this year’s Classical Mission concert series takes place at the Clarke Theatre on Thursday, March 17 at 7:55 p.m. “That’s because the concert is called 5 to 8,” explains artistic director Graham Yates. “It’s a specially created concert of woodwind chamber music featuring a quintet, a sextet, a septet and an octet — works for five, six, seven and eight players.” The evening concludes with Mozart’s glorious Serenade K. 388, one of the most significant works for wind ensemble ever created. Assembled uniquely for Mission by Canadian impresario, officer of the Order of Canada, and bassoon soloist, George Zukerman, other performers include the Ad SUBMITTED PHOTO Mare Wind Quintet, Vancouver Symphony principals Bassoon soloist George Zukerman will Roger Cole (oboe) and Cris Inguanti (clarinet), and be at the Clarke Theatre on March 17. Vancouver Opera horn player Steve Denroche.

March 17 is the premiere performance of this particular wind ensemble. “We think there will be interest in this program in many other B.C. communities in coming seasons,” said Zukerman. “It’s chamber music-by-number (referring to 5 to 8) and it’s a brand new format to present some very unusual wind repertoire.” In addition to Mozart, the “unusual” repertoire includes works by Paul Hindemith, Vincent d’Indy and Carl Maria von Weber. Audience members can also look forward to the pre-concert chat with Graham Yates at 7 p.m. and a reception, sponsored by Prospera Credit Union, following the concert. Both events are free to all ticket holders. Tickets are $28 and available from Murdoch’s Booke Shoppe on First Avenue or by calling the Clarke Theatre box office at 604-820-3961.

The pace of modern life is truly dizzying. And when we combine this frenetic pace with the fact that most of us have too much going on in our lives, it is no wonder that we rarely savor the present moment. To make matters even worse, we spend most of our time ruminating about the past and planning for the future, and thus, we ignore the only time that is truly here, i.e., the present. The past is gone; it no longer exists. The future is not yet here; it is just as illusory as the past. The only time that truly exists is the present moment, this slender knifeedge between the past and the future. And unfortunately, we too often spoil this wonderful moment by infusing it with recollections of the past or anticipation of what is to come. So, how does one go about savoring the present? First, slow down. Second, be mindful of what you are doing or feeling. Become totally absorbed in what you are doing, and do just one thing at a time. Finally, share your experience with someone. Go, eat your bread with enjoyment, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already approved what you do. R.S.V. Ecclesiastes 9:7

IRVINE Heidi Joy (nee YPMA) August 1966 ~ February 2011

Dearest Trev, To our tall, lanky boy with the most gorgeous brown eyes that twinkled with mirth and joy, whose laughter filled every space and whose smile melted our hearts.... Life will never be the same without you. Three years have passed - how can that be? In life you were so vibrant, full of fun and joy. Now we face this HUGE SILENT HOLE. We desperately miss our very precious boy. Tears still flow and time stands still as we try to carry on. Shattered, stolen dreams. Memories so beautiful and precious, too painful to really visit yet, remain locked within our hearts. But we will be with you again someday when heaven calls our names. We love, miss and cherish you Trev... Boy With The Heart of Gold Love, Dad, Mom, Caleb & Colleen, Naomi & Makaela

She left us quietly, Her thoughts unknown, But left us a memory, We are proud to own; So treasure her Lord, In your garden of rest, For when on earth, Kathy was one of the best. Sadly missed by Chris and many friends and family.
