A shorter summer vacation, new school boundaries, moving Grade 7s from elementary into middle school – these proposals by Mission

school board politicos certainly got parents’ attention.

Hundreds attended public consultation meetings at the three Mission high schools last week.

“There’s a lot of negativity and a lot of anxiety – it’s the unknown,” said Dawn Dixon, president of the district parent advisory council (DPAC).

“You’re going to find a wide variety of opinions on all three subjects.”

As part of its Vision 2020 planning process,

board members have proposed two new school calendars, both being year-round models. The Wiltshire Calendar would allow for periods of seven weeks of schooling, followed by a week off. There would be two week breaks in December, two in April and a summer holiday of just five weeks.

CAROL AUN PHOTO

Mission singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen has been nominated for two 2010 Juno awards.

The 24-year-old is up for Songwriter of the Year and New Artist of the Year.

The nominations were announced Wednesday afternoon in Toronto.

“I was floored, I actually cried a little bit,” says Jepsen, with a laugh.

“I wasn’t expecting it at all, it’s such an honour.”

This is the first time Jepsen has been nominated for a Juno, and she will be competing against some big names.

Jepsen is up against Michael Bublé for Songwriter of the Year – someone

who she calls an absolutely amazing artist.

For New Artist of the Year, she is competing against Justin Bieber and Shiloh, the latter of whom she toured with across Canada last spring.

“I am beyond floored right now, and am just so happy to be a part of this,” she adds.

Jepsen placed third on the 2007 season of Canadian Idol. She has released four singles from her debut album, Tug of War. Two of the songs, Tug of War and Bucket, both charted in the Canadian Top 100.

Tug of War has been nominated for Song of the year at the Canadian Radio Music Awards, which Jepsen is attending this week.

B.C. Budget: Government braces for HST, staff cuts

BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

B.C. Finance Minister Colin Hansen delivered a stand-pat budget Tuesday, with no new tax cuts or increases and predictions of modest economic recovery in B.C. in the coming year.

Most of the big changes for B.C. have already been announced, including the harmonized sales tax that will extend B.C.’s seven-per-cent tax to a variety of services starting July 1.

The budget confirms cuts to various ministries that were revealed last fall, with the forests ministry taking the biggest cut at six per cent over the next three years. The budget projects total government employment to drop by 3,500 full-time positions over three years, or about 10 per cent of the workforce.

The majority of those will be unfilled positions when people quit

or retire. As many as 1,000 layoffs remain to be done, and those workers will have a chance to apply for other vacancies within government, Hansen said.

Hansen continued to defend the HST, pointing out that more than one million B.C. residents with low incomes will get an HST rebate cheque in the mail every three months to offset their extra costs. Counting rebates, business tax cuts and personal income tax reductions that take effect this year, the B.C. government expects total revenue to drop by $113 million with the HST in effect.

Health services get an additional $447 million in Tuesday’s budget, bringing the total increase to more than $2 billion in the past year.

Expenditure for health care rises to more than $16 billion for the next fiscal year, out of provincial program spending that totals $42.5 billion.

To dramatize the growth of health care spending, Hansen announced

$686 million collected from B.C. smokers in tobacco taxes. Together, those revenue sources still fall more than $6 billion short of covering the health care bill.

Public schools also get an increase, amounting to about $100 more per student. Hansen said an additional $150 million has been added over three years to cover increases in teacher wages and benefits.

The government is sticking to the $1.7 billion operating deficit it projected last fall for the fiscal year that begins April 1. The deficit is now forecast to decline to $945 million in 2011-12 and $145 million in 2012-13. The government expects to balance its operating budget by 2013-14, as it heads into another Finance Minister Colin Hansen reveals details of his latest budget election.

The province’s debt continues to Tuesday in Victoria.

Tom Fletcher/Black Press grow, reaching $50 billion next year that the entire $3.8 billion revenue along with $3.7 billion in federal and $55.9 billion in the 2011-12 from the harmonized sales tax will transfers, $1.7 billion paid in medi- fiscal year.

Public gives gravel pit operator a rough ride Silverdale residents angry at more noise and truck traffic BY

NEIL CORBETT

Mission Record

Angry Silverdale residents railed against a proposed gravel crushing operation proposed on Caswell Avenue at Monday night’s Mission council meeting.

The district was considering a two-year permit to allow Patrick Kerr to crush and screen aggregate at his gravel pit at 31322 Caswell Ave. “Have councillors driven down Caswell Road?” asked Clay Street resident Terry Mortimer, noting that tandem trucks should not be operated on the narrow, winding rural road.

Shaw Street resident Lila Rau echoed that concern, saying “two cars can’t pass each other unless one is in the ditch.”

Jackie Conn, another Shaw resident, said Caswell is the main access to recreational trails on Red Mountain, and the trucks will be encountering trucks pulling horse trailers and motorcycles on their way down the mountain.

What’s more, she said there are 10 school bus trips on the road daily.

Kerr clarified that his hours of operation would be from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday. He said a tree buffer would be left in place and berms built to try and mitigate noise from the gravel crushing.

He said his permit only allows removal of a maximum of 230,000 tonnes per year, which would equate to 25 trucks per day during full production. He estimated that on average there would be about three trucks leaving the site every two hours.

However, Kerr said he already has provincial approval to remove gravel from the site, so trucks will be rolling down Caswell.

His only request of council was to be able to crush

the material on site, which he said would reduce traffic to and from it.

“What I’m asking for today would reduce the number of truck runs on that road,” said Kerr.

He also noted that the operation would create 30 direct or indirect jobs.

Noise from the site was a key concern Keystone Avenue resident Peter McKay said the decibel levels to be generated from the high elevation site would be “in the same realm as rock concerts and jet takeoffs.”

Silverdale resident Tracey Lyster said the sound would carry farther than existing gravel operations because of its height.

“Even the Genstar development will be hearing this one,” said Lyster.

“I moved to Mission to get away from the traffic and the noise,” said Mortimer. “Developers are given preference over individual citizens. It’s been going on for too long in this town.”

Rau said she had heard the site would be refilled with contaminated soils.

Kerr answered that most of the fill for the site would come from excavation for residential development. It will be re-filled as material is removed in “active reclamation.”

“Every bit of soil that comes into the site has the required paperwork,” he said.

Mark Sippola of Silverhill Avenue said there would have been more opposition at the mostly full council chambers if everyone in the area had known about the meeting.

“It’s going to interfere with my quiet enjoyment of my property,” he said. “Don’t do this to us.”

Council will review the minutes of the public hearing, and render a decision at a later meeting.

Hosting Korean team Paralympic Games curlers hone skills in Mission BY

MEAGHAN MCBRIDE

Mission Record

This week Mission is home to the South Korean Paralympic wheelchair curling team.

On the weekend they will move into the Athlete’s Village in Vancouver, to take part in the Paralympic Winter Games.

The team, which normally trains in Richmond or New Westminster when competing Canada, came to Mission for their pre-game training session as it was the first rink to become available.

Moo Lee, a Canadian-Korean who immigrated in 1968, has been helping Korean teams train and compete in Canada for six years. Mr. Lee was happy that not only were Missionites hospitable and friendly, but their ice is up to the quality that Olympians expect.

Wheelchair curling follows the rules of traditional curling, with few adaptaions. Curlers can use an extender cue (similar to those used in shuffleboard) to throw the rock. A team member sits behind the person throwing, ensuring that they aren’t pushed backwards as they shove at the heavy rocks. Games are shortened to eight “ends” rather than ten, and only eight stones are thrown.

Since, it would be impossible to move a wheelchair down the rink and sweep at the same time, wheelchair curlers don’t sweep but focus more around strategy and finesse. The Korean coach, Seyoung Yang, is a good strategist, something key to winning a tournament, says Lee. Charles Shupe, a local curler, was on the ice on Tuesday March 2 to curl with the team.

“They’re a very good team,” he said. “They really enjoy the game. I’m surprised at how well they do without sweeping. If they put it together they can beat anyone, they just have to minimize their mistakes.”

Curling has only arrived in South Korea in the past decade, but in that time it has become popular

Hortons considers camp here Tim Horton’s Foundation likes Boulder Bay site, doing due diligence BY

MEAGHAN MCBRIDE

Mission Record

Tim Hortons’ popular “Send a Kid to Camp” campaign may soon be sending them to a new camp near Mission.

For 35 years the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation has been bringing economically disadvantaged children together at camp, hoping to inspire and expose them to a better and more diverse world. In 2013 they’re hoping to have the chance to bring those children to a new camp in Mission.

When the District of Mission released a call for proposals last year, regarding the usage of the now defunct Boulder Bay Corrections Camp site on Pine Lake, the Foundation was exciting by the chance to build their first camp in B.C. “It’s a phenomenal site, and meets a number of our criteria,” says Dave Newnham, the vice-president and executive director of the Foundation

According to Newnham, the site is ideal due mainly to it’s proximity to the dense urban area of Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, but it also provides an inspirational location – somewhere kids will be thrilled to visit.

Before construction begins the Foundation

must complete with due diligence with site inspection, as well as commentary from the public.

“If everything goes as planned we should be finished construction and open by 2013,” says Newnham, who feels confident in the success of this project.

The Foundation was

founded in 1974, in honour of Tim Horton, by Ron Joyce the co-founder of the Tim Hortons chain.

Every year the chain and individual franchises raise money to send kids to camp throughout the year,

with their largest fundraiser happening during the Tim Hortons Camp Day, when Tim Hortons store owners donate their entire coffee sales, and other donations, during that 24-hour period.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 2010

OPINION

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

A great time

A

fter an exhilarating finale on the weekend – with Team Canada winning men’s ice hockey gold – the Vancouver-Whistler 2010 Winter Olympics have come to a close.

The event was an unparalleled success – far more successful than even the most optimistic Games booster could have imagined. There were more people taking part than expected, and the transit system kept crowds moving efficiently. Tickets to events were sold out and sales of Olympic-related paraphernalia were far higher than expected.

What’s more, Canadian athletes brought home 26 medals – besting their 24-medal performance at Turin, Italy in 2006. They also set a record for the most gold medals ever won during Winter Olympic Games: 14.

Perhaps most surprising was the spirit of near-unanimity, peace and goodwill at these Games. The protesters whom many expected to be a daily drag on the Olympic spirit all but disappeared, shamed by the mindless vandalism of Feb. 13, battling with each other in the back rooms and hopelessly outnumbered by those who thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Also unexpected was the embracing of the Games by Canadians who live outside of B.C. There was tremendous interest, and television ratings went through the roof.

The overall impression the Games have left on people across Canada and around the world is a positive one.

There were negative moments – most notably the tragic death of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili on the opening day. But the genuine and heartfelt expressions of sorrow and sympathy from Olympic officials and the public over his passing, and the courageous skate by Joannie Rochette after the unexpected death of her mother, was heart-warming.

In both tragedy and triumph, the 2010 Winter Olympics were intensely human. The stories of both medal-winning athletes and those with no chance of making the podium were intensely real – and the experiences of those who were here to see the Games and participate in the overall event were equally real.

It was a fabulous experience and it’s too bad it’s over.

Another defining moment A

s both a sporting and a cultural event, the 2010 Olympic Games went beyond the expectations of even its most ardent supporters.

The upsurge of pride and patriotism will have far-reaching consequences, not the least of which is its possibly fatal effect on the tired shell game of Quebec separatism. Alex Bilodeau and Joannie Rochette are names that will echo for generations. Those who parsed the opening ceremonies and found yet another snub to Quebec may want to seek other employment.

Some even complained of an over-emphasis on Canada and B.C.’s aboriginal roots.

They too will be shown to be voices of the past.

The fate of a couple of govTo ernment slogans offers one way to measure the country’s new maturity. Ottawa’s “Own the Podium” program and B.C.’s “Best Place on Earth” boast were criticized for the same reason; they were “un-Canadian” in their lack of modesty.

People spontaneously bursting into song in the stands and on the streets suggest a new explanation. Boasts are a sign of insecurity that this country has suddenly shaken off.

After the gold medals, opinion polls confirmed the surge of public support for Ottawa’s aggressive financing of

athletic programs. The solution to Own the Podium is simple. The Conservatives can simply take credit and change the name to Canada’s Olympic Action Plan.

On a more serious note, in Victoria and Ottawa, the emphasis must now shift back to an economic situation dominated by huge deficits. Set against that, the $22 million budget for Olympic athletes is as insignificant as the carbon emissions created by trucking snow to Cypress Bowl.

The real issues are the many still unemployed, and the benefits that will flow from this billion-dollar bash that charmed the world.

Can you measure the effect of hosting the Olympics on the m B.C. economy? You can track tourism numbers for what the world now knows as “Super, Natural British Columbia.”

Federal border officials track entries from all countries, and the numbers from the U.S. have been declining for years, thanks to passport requirements and recession as well as a lack of awareness.

I’ll add a couple of medals not counted in the Olympic total. Olympic volunteers get a gold for their unflagging good cheer in the face of rain, lineups and onerous security routines. That extra effort cost nothing, and its value is

beyond measure.

Another unofficial gold medal was collected last year by Canada’s banking system. Gripe if you like about the lavish treatment given to foreign investors at the Olympics, but that too will produce measurable benefits.

On a less serious note, we are confronted with the spectre of beer as a performance-enhancing substance. The mythical Johnny Canuck came to life in Whistler with skeleton champion Jon Montgomery, beer from a pitcher trickling down his stubbled chin like any other West Coast logger come to town.

And what of our women’s hockey team, stogies clenched in their teeth and magnums of beer out on the ice? It’s no wonder university women’s studies programs are changing their names.

Feminism will never be the same.

Finally, here’s an update on my column from two weeks ago about the pathetic “protesters” who tried to blight our achievement by provoking the police.

David Eby of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association now admits it was a “mistake” for him to accede to the request of vandals and keep his group’s pretentious “legal observers” away from their window-smashing spree.

I’ll say it was a mistake. He demonstrated he was not only co-ordinating his efforts with theirs, he was taking direction from them. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 2010 , ,

YOUR VIEWS

No credit for service

Writer says enforcing marijuana prohibition causes more problems than the drug.

No sign of reefer madness Editor, The Record: RE: More support needed to fight marijuana grow-ops Robert T. Rock’s assertion that “We’re setting ourselves up for an explosion in mental health problems as the long-term effects of use become more apparent.” doesn’t hold water. Not only have the “studies” been repeatedly and soundly debunked, the math doesn’t add up.

Canadians smoke the most potent pot in the world, we smoke more of it than any other country in the world, and teen pot use has increased four times in the past 30 years. There should have been a corresponding increase in

the number of schizophrenia and psychosis cases in Canadian hospitals over that time, but the number of such cases has remained about the same at about 1.1% of the population. So while pot use has increased four times, psychosis has remained the same. So much for that “reefer madness” campaign.

And as for fixing the “grow-op” problem, how much more evidence do we need before we realize that the police and government approach is actually causing more problems than it is solving?

Russell Barth, federally licensed medical marijuana user

Prohibition the real problem Editor, The Record: Robert T. Rock missed the bullseye by not accurately recognizing the “cancerous hold” on neighborhoods (More support needed to fight marijuana grow-ops, Feb. 27, 2010).

Grow-ops are a secondary issue, but the primary problem is cannabis (marijuana) prohibition, which denies regulated cultivation.

The laws of supply and demand are stronger than the laws of the land, and cannabis use is growing in popularity partly because it is a much safer alternative to drinking booze.

Cannabis isn’t going away and government will never be successful in exterminating the God-given blessing.

So join the millions of North American citizens who are fighting cannabis prohibition and you may have your wish. Large scale grow-ops will be replaced with regulated cannabis farming, and everyone will be happy.

Except for discriminating prohibitionists, of course.

Stan White Dillon, Colorado

Editor, The Record: What happens when a soldier, who has served 16 years, is a recipient of the 12-year service decoration (Canada Decoration), is qualified master corporal in two different trades, released at the rank of corporal, and has been out for over five years, and re-enrolls due to the Sept 11, 2001 terrorist attacks?

The Canadian Forces takes punitive action against that soldier by invalidating all of his previous qualifications and reduces him to the rank of private recruit.

If that’s not enough, the CF also refuses to acknowledge the soldier’s service decoration as well as time spent as a junior NCO drill instructor. The CF also ensures that when this former corporal, now private recruit, goes on his basic training, that his section commander, a sergeant, was a recruit when the former corporal was one of his instructors years earlier.

Hard to believe? Well it happened to me. We are at war, yet the CF is unwilling to re-instate previously qualified soldiers in a fair and impartial

way. The policy that the CF came up with is referred to as the five-year plus policy, and it unfairly affects all ranks.

Unfortunately, due to the actions taken against me, I am currently released as a private, and the CF refuses to acknowledge my service decoration on my release documents. Their standard response is: “We lost your file, and your former section commander is no longer in the CF.” The CF are full of incompetent bullies, at all ranks.

Lee Hanlon, Mission

Mission needs more maintenance Editor, The Record: I would like to know why the district works department does not do something about the garbage on the highway between the Big B on First Avenue and over the railings along the sidewalk towards the tracks?

There are bags, big boxes, and other garbage that has been there for too long. I walk around all the time. I have told the city about the drain next to the Alder Apartments.

It’s in a hole so that when cars

or trucks used the alleyway the bottom of their vehicles would hit the ground.

Last year, every time I walked down the back alley there was a discarded mattress and bed. I got ahold of a city worker when I was walking past his car. When I told him about it, he said it was not his business. I said that he gets paid from the city so it was his job. They finally took it away. It had been there for two years.

In the 29000 block of First

Avenue, there`s a hole in the road that has been there for three or four years now.

Every day when I walk past the Inform building, the bushes are getting so long that when the cars come around the corner they are dangerously close to the sidewalk.

They bushes should be cut back.

We need better maintenance of our streets for our safety.

Looking after the small things will make a big difference.

Bert Edgar, Mission

Thanks for successful Heritage Week Editor, The Record: Heritage Week was a great success. Kudos to all!

This year’s theme, Heritage of Sports and Recreation, was a perfect fit with the Vancouver Olympics.

Art students at Heritage Park Secondary provided stunning artwork, working

from sports photos gathered at the archives, for display downtown.

We are very pleased with the response and support for Heritage Week, and the participation of the downtown merchants, business people and organizations that took part. There is no doubt that

members of our community have been enriched and further educated during Heritage week in Mission.

The Record is to be commended for the lead role they took to assure that events were well publicized.

the harsher climates further north.

Therefore, to artificially foster a huge deluge of people, developers and such, is not sustainable without increasing overall destruction of environment and natural green space, not to mention agricultural land for growing food.

Not everyone wants to live in a big city and those citizens who chose to live in rural towns should not have their lifestyles taken away by a small group who only care about making a fast buck.

is not responsible management of finances.

Due to the Vancouver Olympics, a number of structures have been provided all at once, with the excuse that making these expenditures now is justified because it will bring much future business attention and investment to our shores.

However, we do not need to entice more developers and speculators from around the world to further impact our shrinking precious agricultural and natural land areas or water resources.

Our country may look large on a map, but we know in reality that the majority live in the southern areas close to the U.S. border, to avoid

✃

Therefore, if the Canada Line (and other facilities) were so badly needed, why had governments not planned for and/or provided for them long ago when the need became apparent?

It seems whenever anything needs to be built or repaired, the government tells the citizenry how much it will cost at the moment and impose a new tax, or sell our resources to private companies, rather than to have been setting aside funds on an ongoing basis from current taxes.

To suddenly build hugely expensive, and unnecessary, items on credit, with no prior savings,

✃

Editor, The Record: I am sure many citizens not involved in the “gold” of the Olympics are tired of hearing how costs of various facilities such as the Canada Line etc. are not “truly Vancouver 2010 Olympic costs,” and will ultimately be paid by all residents of B.C. The way we look at it is this: we pay taxes so that necessary public facilities – you know, like medical, education, public water, energy, roads, etc. – will be legislated, built and maintained in good condition, as required by our population as the need arises.

However, once he reflected on the issue more, he thought there would be symmetry in a podium being given to the community that donated the wood for the it, which is also the home of the late Vanoc chairman Jack Poole, and the host of an upcoming games.

“It would make a fitting gift to the community,” said Scudder.

me used by medal winners in Mission, when this community hosts its own B.C. Winter Games in 2014.

The district donated wood from the community forest to construct the podium. After the coming Paralympic Winter Games, Vanoc intends to auction off many of its assets, including the podiums.

Mission council was going to authorize staff to go the auction and bid up to $5,000, but then thought about simply asking for the podium.

Coun. Mike Scudder said spending money

each

The Government of British Columbia and the federal government announced March 1. that they will be funding a $1.02 million dollar upgrade of the Florence Lake Forest Service Road, with work to start this spring.

The road, which is used by thousands of campers, hikers and four-by-four enthusiasts every year, has become a problem for the Ministry of Forests in recent years, with litter and garbage left behind by those using the land, and stolen cars being abandoned along the road side.

In an effort to create a safer recreational space, the District of Mission and the Ministry of Forest and Range have been working together to create an authorized recreational area in the Florence Lake area. This road upgrade is a critical part of that process, which according to Mission’s director of corporate administration, Dennis Clark, has been going pretty well.

“We really appreciate this funding,” says Clark. “This will do a lot for future recreational areas that will be enjoyed by Mission residents and people coming from outside of Mission, for years to come.”

Construction, including bridge replacement, road widening and curve regrading, is expected to begin this spring, and continue throughout the rest of 2010.

MSS fires concern cops Police are asking the public for help after three separate fires at Mission Secondary School last week.

On Feb. 18, a dumpster was set on fire. When the fire department arrived on scene, a number of youth were seen running in the vicinity of Ninth Avenue. No suspects were located.

There were two separate fires at the school on Feb 19. The first one happened around 6:30 a.m. when the dumpster at the back of the school was set on fire, and the second incident happened around 5 p.m. when a van was burned out.

Firefighters familiar with the area said the van had been parked there for a number of days, say police.

There were no plates on the van, and the matter is still under investigation.

Anyone with information about these fires is asked if call Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161, or if you would like to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Robson Square magic to continue in March Flame and some pavillions will also return during Paralympics

BY JEFF

NAGEL

Black Press

Anyone who’s missed out on the free downtown activities during the Olympics will still get another chance after the Games end Sunday.

Robson Square – the magnetic hub of the cel-

ebrations over the past two weeks – will reopen after a brief hiatus for the March 12-21 Paralympic Winter Games.

The square will continue to offer skating at the GE Plaza ice rink, the overhead zipline, as well as daily free entertainment and concerts.

Video screens will allow crowds to gather and cheer on Paralympians.

Visitors during the Paralympics will also continue to get free admission to both the B.C. Pavillion

and the Vancouver Art Gallery, which will still be showing the Leonardo Da Vinci: The Mechanics of Man exhibit.

An average of 75,000 to 100,000 visitors a day have come to Robson Square during the Olympics.

About 700 people a day have taken the zipline ride and 1,000 people a day have skated on the rink.

It’s been a place not just of patriotism and warmth but also romance.

Nine couples have gotten engaged at or around the rink and another couple got engaged on the zipline.

The majority of the other free Olympic pavillions and venues will close after Feb. 28.

But a few will remain open, including: Q Canada’s Northern

House, showcasing Arctic life, culture and art.

Q The LiveCity Downtown celebration site, with giant screens and performers.

Q Centreplace Manitoba.

Q BC Hydro PowerSmart Village.

The Olympic cauldron near Canada Place will also remain as a permanent attraction.

And those who haven’t

seen the flame will still be able to view the lit cauldron during the Paralympic Winter Games.

Beyond that, Terasen Gas officials say it’s conceivable the Olympic cauldron could be relit occasonally in the future, on very special occasions.

The Paralympics will see 1,350 athletes and officials come here from 44 countries.

Central Valley Taxi informed district council that it is making application to the Passenger Transportation Board to raise current rates, which have been in effect since 2005.

The company would like to raise the rate effective April 1, and asked for the approval of district council.

The rate would go from $2.75 to start to $3, $1.66 per kilometer to $1.73/km, and $26.22 per hour waiting time to $31 (GST included in all prices).

structure.” The metering program also allows the district to access senior government grant programs, and better detect leaks in the water system.

The cost to meter all of Mission is approximately $12 million, and the plan is to complete the project over two years.

District staff suggested the Community Works gas tax funds would be a main source of funding. The district already has $2.3 million in a gas tax reserve fund, and is due to collect an additional $3.9 million by 2013, which would be used to pay most of the costs.

Council approved a motion that will see the district issue a formal expression of interest, to identify potential companies that could work with the district on a water meter program.

Victoria lowers targets for port traffic for short term

BY JEFF

NAGEL

Black Press

It’s full speed ahead on major highway work in the region, even though one key justification – a projected boom in port shipments – is so far failing to materialize.

The Gateway program, which includes construction of the new 10-lane Port Mann Bridge and Highway 1 expansion and South Fraser Perimeter Road, is predicated in part on an expected quadrupling in container port traffic by 2020.

But the provincial budget notes container growth targets for the next three years have been “revised downward� to reflect the continued slowdown in international trade.

Container shipments through Port Metro Vancouver fell 14 per cent in 2009 and are projected to stay flat in 2010.

A third berth at Deltaport has just opened, increasing capacity there 50 per cent, and there are plans to

build a second terminal there.

Meanwhile, provincial officials maintain Gateway road work is needed to position the region as the Asia Pacific hub for the long term and to reduce traffic congestion now.

Transportation minister Shirley Bond said the Port Mann project will be the focus of construction this year.

The budget calls for $735 million to be spent in 2010 on the $3.3-billion Port Mann/Highway 1 project, money which is to be recouped through tolls once the bridge opens in 2013.

Preliminary work is also continuing on the $1.2-billion South Fraser Perimeter Road.

It’s been almost a year since a request for proposals was issued, but the province has yet to sign a contract with any of the groups bidding for the perimeter road work.

Work so far has been directly managed by the transportation ministry.

Mission Icebreaker James NcNaughton’s short shot is caught by Ridge Meadows Flames goaltender Tyler Klassen during Monday’s action in Mission. Below is Mission coach Jeff Regier, who says his team is peaking at just the right time.

Game 6 of the playoff series is tonight, 7:30 p.m. at the Mission Leisure Centre.

Mission Record

The Mission Icebreakers are in a crucial Game 6 playoff game against the Ridge Meadows Flames tonight at the Mission Leisure Centre.

The Mission Junior B squad struggled all season, but righted themselves just in time to give the conferenceleading Flames fits. They finished the season on a four-game winning streak, and then took two of the first three games in the playoffs.

“We’re working real hard,” said head coach Jeff Regier. “Some teams peak in November, some in January, and our team’s peaking now.

“The boys are playing as a team.”

But the Flames tied the series at two games apiece on Monday night, winning 5-2 including an empty netter.

They met again last night, but results of Wednesday’s Game 5 were not known in time for publication.

The puck drops on tonight’s action at 7:30 p.m. at the Mission Leisure Centre, with one of the two teams facing elimination. Game 7, should it be required, will be at Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge.

With two wins in OT the Icebreakers have become tough to beat in the PIJHL playoffs By tying the series on Monday the Flames reclaimed home ice advantage, but it may be no benefit to them – neither team had been able to win at home through the first four games.

The Icebreakers took Game 1 4-3 in overtime, as Matt Keller got the OT winner. Luke Venema also had a goal and an assist in the game.

Special teams were the difference, as the Ridge Power Play went 0-for-8, and the Icebreakers 2-for-4.

Game 2 was a 4-3 loss for the Icebreakers. It was a disjointed game, spoiled by controversial calls by referee Pat Shantz. There was minimal five-on-five play, as he called 10 penalties on the Icebreakers and nine against the Flames.

The Icebreakers’ diminutive speedster Shahzil Jivani scored a shorthanded goal, and got his second on a skillful deflection while on the power play.

Mission took Game 3 by a 6-5 score in overtime. This time it was big blueliner Matt Hargreaves playing overtime hero, as he rushed the puck from his own end, crossed the Ridge blueline and ripped a shot. Hargreaves’ slapper is known more for being powerful than accurate, but he looked like a pure sniper as this missile found the top corner.

James McNaughton scored twice, Jivani also had a goal and an assist and both Brett Orser and Matt Schmitt had a pair of assists.

Such overtime heroics have made it a series. The betting line on the Icebreakers would not have been good at the start of the playoffs. They managed only 14 wins during their 48-game schedule. The Flames were 28-16 with four overtime wins, which was best in the Harold Brittain Conference.

If the Icebreakers get past the Flames they will take on the winner of the series between the Abbotsford Pilots and the Aldergrove Kodiaks. The Kodiaks drubbed the Pilots 7-1 on Monday night to take a 3-1 lead in the series.

The reborn Icebreakers have fared well against Aldergrove lately, winning two of their last three meetings.

meeting I had decided that the Terry Fox Fly Fishers would remain operation for as long as JN needed it.

As much as JN needed the club, the club needed JN. Within weeks of that meeting new members, solid committed members, walked into our weekly meetings.

By the end of that year JN was our team captain, and a year later when we hosted the first Fraser Valley ff Middle and High School Fly Fishing Championship, he endured all the catcalls from the opposing teams without uttering a word.

Later he would tell his youth worker, that with the confidence he had found in himself, he no longer needed to fight back, just fish and win.

Which he did winning more prize categories than any of the other competitors.

Fish; it’s amazing what they can teach you, and that’s another reason why I am a fly fishing instructor.

n the day I was going to fold up the Terry Fox (Terry Fox secondary) Fly Fishers Club, I met JN. As had happened too many times, no-one had shown up for our weekly club meeting; when J N walked in and asked. “Is this where the fly fishing club meets?”

I told him it was; and explained how our club operated. After the rundown on the club, we sat Je and tied flies. I believe it was the fact that we were the only two in the room that allowed him to share how he came to our club.

For the previous two years he had been at a, for lack of a better term, last chance school, where he had been sent for his violent behavior.

He had as he told me anger issues and a history of violent outbursts, and was at Terry Fox on a trial basis.

Our club, he told me would give him an alternative to past deeds and peers.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 2010

Roadrunners win B.C. bronze BY

NEIL CORBETT

Mission Record

Mission star Chelsea Reist suffered a head injury in the Roadrunner’s second game, and missed a critical semi-final.

DAVE EAGLES PHOTOS

The Mission Roadrunners won the bronze medal at the provincials, but left the tournament wondering what might have been.

The senior girls double A tournament was held in Kamloops last week, with the final on Saturday.

If they had not lost star forward Chelsea Reist to an injury, would they have beaten their rival Clarence Fulton Maroons in the semi-final?

“I know we would have won that game if we had her,” asserts coach Anthony Luyken, “I just know it.”

The tournament got off to a great start on Wednesday, as the third-ranked Roadrunners beat St. Michaels of Victoria 4829. Luyken saved Reist for future battles, but in limited time she led the team in scoring with 13 points. Theresa Jakobs had a big game with 11 points, 13 rebounds and three blocked shot.

Next came Thursday’s fateful game against Kamloops’ own Sa-Hali

secondary, it was a Mission win, 64-63 in overtime, but it was costly.

“We had a really tough game against them,” said Luyken. “In the overtime, the officials basically swallowed their whistles.”

The Roadrunners love to move the ball inside to their post players and Reist took a beating.

“She just got pounded - and I mean pounded,” said Luyken.

She was knocked out of the game when she took a rebound, and a Kamloops player tried to grab the ball away, and the two fell to the floor. Hanging onto the ball, Reist hit her head on the hardwood, and came out of the fracas with a goose-egg and feeling sick.

Reist finished the game with 15 points, eight rebounds and four steals.

Jessica Daigneault had 12 points and Jacobs 10.

Friday the Roadrunners

took on second-ranked Fulton in the semi-final, and with Reist sidelined lost 72-53.

Angie Toor had 16 points, and Jacobs battled on the paint for 13 points and 11 boards.

“We needed Chelsea.

We needed her boards, and we needed her to defend their best player,” said Luyken.

The Roadrunners met Fulton earlier in the year

at the York House tournament. They lost by only three points, and Luyken said it was fouls that were their undoing.

In the bronze medal game Mission beat Nechako 55-46. Reist played, and had 18 points and nine rebounds.

Daigneault also scored 18.

Reist and Jacobs were both named tournament all-stars, and Toor was

given honourable mention.

After the disappointment of the semi-final, Luyken said the Mission girls can take pride in their consistent trips to the big dance.

“We’ve been to the provincials four years in a row,” he said, noting Mission has won bronze for two straight years, but won the provincial title the year before that.

Ever-expanding opportunities to recycle Originally intended to accept blue-bag recyclables from rural residents, the Mission Recycling Depot has grown into a free drop-off facility for a much larger variety of recyclable materials and items from all residents.

Accepted items include electronic waste, limited to desktop computers, monitors, printers, fax machines, scanners, VCRs, TVs, cables and keyboards; automotive batteries; rechargeable and non-rechargeable household batteries (up to one kilogram in weight each); cell phones; books; empty propane tanks; fluorescent light tubes (no compacts, please); scrap metal and metal appliances

(except for fridges and freezers, which can be dropped off free of charge at the Mission landfill); and select household hazardous wastes, including paint, spray paint, paint thinner, domestic pesticides, old gasoline and kerosene.

Limits and product specifications may apply, so please phone ahead (604-814-3555) to confirm acceptability.

Challenge your family to recycle and compost as much as possible, and include your food waste in your curbside compost. Seventy per cent of the waste arriving at the landfill could have been recycled or composted, resulting in unnecessary short and long-term landfill costs. A family

of four should be able to produce less than one bag of garbage per week.

The Mission Recycling Depot is located at 7229 Mershon St. (across from Westcoast Express parking lot), and is open seven days a week from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Depot staff can be reached at 604-814-3555.

More information on waste reduction and recycling opportunities can be obtained at www.mission.ca, or by phoning the engineering department at 604-820-3736.

For recycling options of other materials, please phone the Recycling Council of BC’s hotline at 1-800-667-4321.

Keep driveway Be considerate of collection workers culverts clean

PAY IT

Now that Spring is approaching and rain is an everyday occurrence, please take the time to inspect your driveway access culvert. Keeping your driveway culvert free of vegetation, silt, rocks and garbage may mean the difference between access to your property and a washout during the next major rain storm. If the water in the ditches along the roadway cannot pass unobstructed through the culvert under your driveway, it will find a way to get to where it is going. 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.

Please take the time to keep your driveway access culvert clean.

Since the age of seven Linnea Holm has been acting, dancing and singing onstage.

“It’s what I do,” says the bubbly 19 year old.

For the last 12 years Holm has been performing in roles ranging from Cosette in Les Miserables to Annie in Annie Get Your Gun. While she values the challenge presented by more dramatic roles, Holm has found that she enjoys her comedic roles more than anything.

During her stint in Seussical the Musical she was cast as Gertrude McFuzz, a bird with only one tail feather desperately trying to get noticed by her long-time, elephant friend, Horton.

“I had always played serious roles because of my ability as a singer,” said Holm. “When I played Gertrude I finally got a chance to be funny... I got to be who I wanted to be.”

But in the immediate future Holm is focussing on her upcoming role, as one of the wives, in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, her first production with the Royal City Musical Theatre in April.

“I’m really excited... it’s a lot of fun, we’re using a lot of different styles of dance, like hiphop, ballet... in one scene we’re cheerleaders.”

Holm believes audiences will find this production different than the standard Joseph production.

“Just the ideas that the director has... and we have an incredible and talented cast too!”

When Holm isn’t wrapped up in rehearsals and her other academic pursuits, she teaches musical theatre at two different companies.

Though she began as a student at the Lindbjerg Academy, she started as a teaching assistant at 13, and by 14 she was handling entire classes on her own.

Lianna Holm poses in her costume as one of Joseph’s wives.

When she and her mother wanted to create a musical theatre program for home school students, they approached the academy to see if they would help develop a program to fit that niche. Since then the Extreme Theatre program has seen enrollment of 80 students throughout the Fraser Valley, with more on the waiting list.

In 1995, just a year after she started teaching in the Fraser Valley, family friends in Oaxaca, Mexico invited her to come and teach a group of children in their community. Feeling she was not prepared to make that big of a step Holm waited until she was 16 to head south.

While in Oaxaca she spent six months with a group of 50 students, ranging in age from six to 26, teaching them everything she knew about theatre, song and dance.

“It was a great opportunity to work with people who had never been exposed to [theatre], and it gave me a chance to see how other people lived. We take a lot for granted up here.”

Her time in Mexico has inspired Holm to see the rest of the world. While further schooling is in the plans, she would really like to travel the world and teach more people about her passion, theatre.

“I would love to go to orphanages in Africa, or Thailand,” she said, knowing that it would only challenge her further.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 2010

Bruce Cockburn to Rock Mission Mission residence will have a chance to see Canadian virtuoso Bruce Cockburn in person this May. Known throughout the world for his smooth voice and clever lyrics Cockburn has been performing and touring for the past 35 years. During that time he has released 27 albums, four of which are live performances, including his latest, Slice O Life, release in 2009.

Cockburn will be performing solo, allowing his natural skill as a guitar player, singer and wordsmith to shine through.

Born in Ontario in 1945, Cockburn’s music has been influenced by the Beat poets of the 1960’s, environmentalism and the politic events, including his work with OXFAM which would lead to one of his most known songs, If I Had A Rocket Launcher, released in 1984. Since then Cockburn has only increased his artistic style of activism.

Cockburn received Earth Day Canada’s Outstanding Commitment to the Environment award in February.

For many years Cockburn has used his

position as an artist to inform and motivate people about the impact they can have on the environment. He has spoken out for numerous causes, including the destruction of tropical rain forests (which inspired the environment anthem If A Tree Falls), and performed benefit concerts promoting awareness of logging in the Stein River Valley.

Tickets are on sale Saturday, March 6 for $39.50 (plus service charges) at all Ticketmaster outlets (online at www.ticketmaster. ca or charge by phone at 604-280-4444).

Yellowbird brings ‘piping hot country’ Promoter Rock.It Boy Entertainment calls him a “cracklin’ hot country singer” – Shane Yellowbird with special guest Chad Brownlee are in concert on Thursday, May 6 at the Clarke Theatre.

Yellowbird celebrated the release of his second album Its About Time by playing the Ryman Auditorium in the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville,

Tennessee. Not bad for the cowboy from Hobbema, Alberta who only released his first album three and a half years ago.

Life Is Calling My Name was released on 306 Records in 2006 and propelled Shane Yellowbird straight to the forefront of the Canadian country music scene with five great singles and videos, in-

cluding Pickup Truck which spent ten weeks in the Top-10.

The Best That I Can Be (Superhero) is the current single from Chad Brownlee and also sums the way this talented young man approaches life and music. Chad was looking to make his mark in the National Hockey League (NHL) and was drafted into the Canucks training

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 2010

Classical Mission returns to Clarke BY

GRAHAM YATES

Record Contributor

JOY Joy is the second grace mentioned by St. Paul as a fruit of the Spirit. Joy is a translation of the Greek word “chara,” which can be rendered as joy, gladness, or delight. The Greek verb “charein” means “to rejoice.”

Throughout the Bible, there are many and varied occurrences of joy and rejoicing.

For instance, we are told repeatedly in the Psalms to “Rejoice in the Lord.” (Cf. Psalms 33, 35, and 97) And Jesus tells us that He has come to bring joy: “These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.” (John 15:11) We are repeatedly told that following God’s commandments and having faith that God will save us, brings joy. Indeed, it is joyful to know that we are doing God’s will, that our sins are truly forgiven, and that salvation awaits us. This is the real joy which abides in us despite the ups and downs of our external circumstances or even our momentary mood swings. And although we may not always feel the elation of being on top of the mountain, if we keep our faith and trust in the Lord, we will always have the bedrock of joy to sustain us.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

R.S.V. Romans 15:13

A “shattering cycle of solitude and loss” is not the by-line of the latest dramatic feature film, but a critic’s review of a performance to be presented in Mission’s Clarke Theatre.

On Friday, March 5, Classical Mission presents international opera sensation Russell Braun and pianist Carolyn Maule in Schubert’s Die Winterreise, The Winter Journey.

The music is intense, full at once of romantic longing and psychological horrors. On the surface the melodies are pleasant, but between the lines the story is stitched together of a rejected lover who turns his back on society, love and life. Though written by the poet Müller, the set of 24 songs is Schubert’s autobiography in code.

Mr. Braun and Ms. Maule’s 2005 recording

of this most famous of Schubert’s works was chosen by New York’s Newsday as number two of the year’s top 10 best recordings.

With one of the world’s most beautiful voices, Canadian baritone Russell Braun is fast becoming a legend among opera singers. His dramatic performances have been described as thrilling, manic, glorious, superbly sung and malevolently acted, rich, powerful, elegant, soft-grained, and spine-tingling.

This year he will have appeared in productions in London, Milan, The Met in New York, the Salzburg Festival and the Canadian Opera Company in Toronto.

His appearance at the Clarke Theatre will be suitably celebratory. It begins with a pre-concert chat at 7 p.m. by artistic director Graham Yates to acquaint listeners with the music.

The concert, doubling as part of Windsor Plywood’s Spectacular Music BC concert series, begins at 8 p.m..

Immediately following, a reception sponsored by Prospera Credit Union’s Mission branch will allow Mr. Braun to address the audience himself and speak about Schubert’s masterpiece.

This crown among Classical Mission’s 200910 concerts is certainly the one not to miss!

Tickets are $28, or $10 for students, and are available at King’s Music in Abbotsford, at Murdoch’s Book Shoppe and Prospera Credit Union in Mission, or at the door. High school students can take advantage of the special $5 “eyeGO to the Arts” rate at the box office.

Classical Mission, which is celebrating its 10-year anniversary in 2010, presents five worldclass concerts every season.

MEAGHAN MCBRIDE Mission Record BY

Master fiddlers Troy MacGillivray and Kelli Trottier, of Bowfire, will be headlining at this year’s Fiddlerama, on March 6.

This is the first year in Fiddlerama’s 10-year history that the show will be held at the Clark Theatre and every one, from fiddle lovers of all ages invited to come together for this celebration of Celtic inspired fiddle music.

Both of these talented and enthusiastic fiddlers will be performing to raise money for scholarships at the Pacific Fiddle College, which will be held in Hope this month.

Organized by the Central Fraser Valley Fiddlers, this program will not only entertain, but also provide instruction

for local fiddlers, a once in a lifetime chance.

MacGillivray, who has been playing the fiddle, piano and step-dancing since a young age, has performed throughout the world, from as far south as Australia to the northern climes of Nunavut.

Trottier was trained in the traditional Celtic style of fiddling, but as she grew developed a distinctive style incorporating Celtic and Acadian traditions.

Tickets are $15 in advance for adults and seniors or $18 at the door.

Tickets for children 12 and under are $8.

Tickets are available in Abbotsford at the Sound of Music or Kings Music or at the Clarke Theatre in Mission.

For reservations or information, call Ed at 604-826-5211 or 604855-2448.

Eileen May Krieger (nee McAllister) passed away peacefully in Mission, BC on Thursday, February 25, 2010 at the age of 82 years. She is predeceased by her father Malcolm, her daughter Cheryl, her mother Florence (nee Duthie), her stepfather John Morrison, her daughter Debbie Mattson, and her sister Marie Cunningham (Sonny). Eileen will be missed and lovingly remembered by her husband of 61 years John, her son Mark, her son-in-law Neil Mattson (Susan), her sister Isabelle Hawkins (Rae) and many nieces, nephews, cousins and many, many friends.

Eileen was born in Mission and lived in Mission for most of her life except for a short time in Edmonton when her and John were first married and in the early 1980’s when they coowned and operated a shake and shingle mill in Pemberton.

She grew up on her parent’s dairy farm on Nicomen Island, with her two sisters Isabelle and Marie. They survived the great flood of 1948 and many other adversities which faced those pioneering families. She went to grade 1 to 8 at Nicomen Island School, and then to Dewdney School for her high school years, where she eventually graduated in 1945.

She met her husband to be, John in 1945 also, and they were married in March of 1949. Except for a short career in the candy department of the David Spencer Department Store (Mission) in 1948, Eileen has been a wife, a mom and a homemaker and was unsurpassed on all accounts.

Her greatest achievements in life was caring for everyone around her, before herself and never wanting anything in return.

Eileen will be greatly missed by all of those; whose hearts (and stomach’s) she touched.

She created the best apple pies.

A Celebration of Eileen’s Life will be held on Saturday, March 6, 2010 at 1:00 pm at the Cedar Valley Mennonite Church, 32840 Janzen Avenue Mission, BC, (southeast corner of Cedar St. and Cherry Ave.). In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the BC Heart and Stroke Foundation.
