ROADRUNNERS BEST IN B.C. For the first time since 1954, the Mission Secondary School’s senior boys basketball team captured a provincial title last Saturday over Burnaby’s St. Thomas More.

The local team has been ranking near the top of the pack all season and proved why in Kamloops.

The district’s finance department released a document explaining how it was able to find $1.6 million in savings in order to present a 2012 budget with no tax increases.

According to the document, 27 reductions or deferrals in spending, including $220,000 from RCMP integrated teams, $122,177 from reduced capital contributions, and $385,345 from position vacancies, allowed the district to present a zero per cent tax increase.

Several small cost-cutting items were found in each department, including eliminating $32,000 for the mayor’s part-time clerk, $46,000 in reducing RCMP front desk operating hours, and $65,359 in removing maintenance for new infrastructure.

Not everything received cutbacks. There were several non-discretionary items in the budget that were inflated from the previous year due to contracts, such as employee wages and benefits, the new West Coast Express and transit agreement signed in the summer, RCMP services, and hydro rates. As well, the snow removal budget received a $20,000 boost, Fraser River Heritage Park will get an extra $6,600, and $3,145 to enhance staffing for the youth lounge.

The total budget will be $58.9 million, the same as it was last year, while water and sewer rates will both increase two per cent.

Details of the draft budget can read on the district’s website, while a public information session happens tonight (March 15) at 6:30 p.m. in council chambers.

Surviving life’s troubles through art

BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

L

eo Pollock sits between two handcarved wooden eagles; his bright blue eyes gleam as he talks about his affinity for the birds.

It was nearly 20 years ago when the 54-year-old Mission artist was looking skyward and saw an eagle soaring overhead.

He fell in love and dedicated himself to perfecting their likeness.

The self-taught pen and ink artist’s designs and drawings have garnered the attention of the local art community, including Nancy Arcand, executive director of the Mission Arts Council.

When she first saw his work some weeks ago she thought it was phenomenal.

“It works with the feathers and the way his creatures are, they’re stunning, beautiful.”

He recently took his artwork to Claim to Frame on First Avenue, where owner Phil Vince decided to display his drawings of lions in the front window.

Although reluctant to critique any artist’s work, he said it’s clear Leo has a genuine love for art.

“Over the past 22 years of my involvement in the art community, there are few things that are more gratifying than to be witness to an artist evolving over time,” said Vince, who also displayed Leo’s cedar fungal art in his shop 16 years ago.

Leo used to go into the Mission forests and gather fungus as other

Mission’s Leo Pollock shows off some of his eagle carvings which grace his home.

artists scoop up paper, but gave up the activity after a close encounter with a black bear.

He now lives with his wife, Karen, in the trailer park near Mission Memorial Hospital where she works as a nurse.

Inside his humble abode, the wood panel walls are covered with drawings featuring animals with aboriginal symbols and motifs.

One drawing he pulls out shows a gecko, but a magnifying glass reveals an intricate phoenix drawn into patterns on

the head.

Other than Leo’s forays to the public library to study artwork, he has zero formal training. His work is the culmination of a meticulous attention to detail and what appears to be an inborn talent.

“There are some out there that are natural, it just comes to them,” said Arcand. “There’s an inner creator working in there somewhere, an inner spirit that has driven them.”

Another creation features his “dream art

gallery,” which shows himself suspended by a platform midway up an enormous flat, green wall. He is painting a giant blue-green swordfish while two men from the street gaze up at him in wonder.

The vibrant colours are created from a stash of dozens of pens he keeps hidden in an old Peek Freans cookie container.

Like everything about Leo, looks can be deceiving. The old BC Lions ball cap and hoodie, and his features worn by 25 years of construction,

ADRIAN MACNAIR PHOTO

belie the creativity that springs from his pen.

Behind the art, however, lies a difficult past, one he’s reluctant to talk about.

After giving up fungal art he became an alcoholic, and that made it impossible to draw the intricate artwork for which he was known.

But Leo says Karen helped him quit and inspired him to draw again.

“I had to find something to depend on, and I found my art.”

Originally from Chatham, Ont., Leo’s

father committed suicide when he was only eight years old, and his mother was an alcoholic.

“It wasn’t a very happy place to be so I ran away,” he said.

He was just 15 when he bought a $57 plane ticket to Vancouver, where he lived on streets for the next two years begging for money. To make ends meet, he’d find a place to sketch and sell his drawings to passersby.

Being a street kid was tough, but Leo shrugs it off.

“I never even really thought about it. When I’m doing my art I get completely lost in it.”

His art still provides an escape from the reality of poverty.

After a few years in Vancouver he took a bus east 35 years ago and wound up in Mission.

“Growing up being lonely and having a lonely life, having no father, an alcoholic mother, running away from home, living on the streets...

I used art as a way to survive. And it just blossomed.”

B.C. Liberals pushed through teacher bill Monday afternoon Bill 22 expected to be passed into law today by provincial gov’t

Debate on legislation imposing a cooling-off period on the B.C. teachers’ dispute is being cut off this week.

B.C. Liberal house leader Rich Coleman moved to end debate Monday afternoon, and the

government majority voted to pass his motion. Coleman said the measure will ensure that Bill 22 will be passed into law by Thursday, ensuring that schools will return to normal operation after spring break.

The government and NDP opposition have agreed to extend sitting hours until 9 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday, to provide extra time for clause-byclause debate on the legislation before it is passed.

NDP house leader John Horgan said the government is re-

fusing to consider his proposal to delay the legislation and seek an independent mediator appointed by the Labour Relations Board.

Bill 22 gives Education Minister George Abbott the authority to appoint a mediator, and restricts any mediated settlement to be within the “net zero” wage mandate imposed across public sector union negotiations in 2010.

The bill also imposes new restrictions on class size and special needs support, declaring the

issues off limits to negotiation between the B.C. Teachers’ Association and school districts.

The government has proposed a $165 million fund to supplement special needs support in the next three years. The fund and the new provisions in Bill 22 are an effort to satisfy a B.C. Supreme Court ruling that struck down 2002 legislation taking class size and composition out of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation contract.

The ruling gives the government until April to respond.

The public is invited to the administration office at 45950 Cheam Avenue, Chilliwack to review the financial plan and to ask any questions related to the plan. The Draft Financial Plan can be reviewed any time Monday to Friday’s between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Questions relating to the plan can also be answered by calling Michael B Phelan, Manager Finance 604702-5002 or 1-800-528-0061.

The community came out Saturday afternoon to celebrate Mission fire station three’s 20th anniversary.

A full hall of firefighters and many who helped bring the facility to life in 1991 were on hand to commemorate the occasion, including former district councillors, MLAs and retired firefighters.

Cutting the cake for the event was Tom O’Beirne, who chaired the Southwest Mission Ratepayers when work to build the hall began.

The event also marked a change of leadership at the hall, with District Chief Mike Lavallee retiring and handing his responsibilities over to Len Pesonen. These two men, along with three others, were original members of the station.

More photos are available on The Record’s Facebook page.

Fewer cars stolen in Mission in 2011

BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

Auto theft in Mission and the Fraser Valley has dropped dramatically in 10 years, statistics that law enforcement and auto insurers attribute in part to the bait car program.

Statistics were provided by the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT) to coincide with the celebration of the program’s 10th anniversary, as well as this year’s Auto Crime Enforcement Month in B.C. A bait car is a vehicle owned by police and set as a trap to would-be thieves. When the vehicle is stolen, the location, speed and direction of travel are monitored by police dispatchers through GPS. According to IMPACT, there were 35 per cent fewer cars stolen in Mission in 2011 compared to the previous year, a drop of 65 per cent since 2006.

There has been a 71 per cent decline across B.C. since 2003.

Incidents of vehicle break-ins has also declined, with 36 per cent fewer break-ins in 2011 compared to the previous year.

Mission RCMP Insp.

Richard Konarski said part of the reason is technology. As older cars are replaced by newer ones, fewer thieves have the technical know-how to hotwire them.

For those thieves who continue to target cars, the police utilize bait cars in areas that have a high frequency of opportunistic “commuter thieves.”

These kind of thieves “hang out with some friends and then they just kind of walk around the neighbourhood, perhaps find some older model cars, and say, ‘I’m too lazy, don’t have my own wheels, I’m a prohibited driver,’ and they just boost a car that will get them to where they have to go,” said Konarski.

That’s where police statistics help in understanding the pattern of car thieves, the types of cars being stolen, and figuring out the behaviour so they can stop them before they strike again.

Konarski recalled a thief during the 1980s who would regularly take a car in Maple Ridge and dump it when he arrived in Mission.

IMPACT also released a list of the most notorious car thieves in the Lower Mainland that includes Clint Warren Rose, a 35-year-old repeat car thief operating in both Mission and Abbotsford. Rose is wanted on several warrants for breach of recognizance and prohibited driving.

The other fugitives — men ranging from 21 to 43 years old — are from Surrey, Richmond, Langley, Penticton, Ridge Meadows, and New Westminster.

At a press conference last Thursday in Surrey, Attorney-General Shirley Bond said 77 of the 80 most-wanted car thieves have been caught in the last 10 years.

The number of stolen cars could drop even further, as Bond announced the bait car program has expanded to include commercial vehicles such as construction equipment and vans.

Konarski said some thieves in Mission have begun focusing on stealing ATVs and construction machinery. On March 6, police recovered over $500,000 worth of stolen equipment from a rural property in the 35000-block of Hartley Road.

But Konarski said the majority are commuter thieves.

“You can see how each offender uses a different type of vehicle,” he said, adding the type of vehicle that is stolen is a key part to profiling the behaviour of the criminal.

“Why this place, why this time and why this item? And the more you can think about that the more you can narrow down who you’re chasing after.”

Most stolen vehicles (Fraser Valley): 1. Honda Civic 2. Ford F-Series trucks 3. Honda Accord 4. Dodge Ram 5. Dodge Caravan/ Plymouth Voyager 6. Chevy Silverado/ GMC Sierra 7. Jeep (Grand) Cherokee 8. Acura Integra 9. Nissan Pathfinder 10. Toyota Camry/Solara.

The bait car program and improvements in vehicle anti-theft technology are credited with the drop.

OPINION

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

Election results may have been affected We’ve all received robo-calls.

We’re usually pitched an opportunity to have surplus clothing picked up, get our carpets cleaned or save a life by donating to some sort of worthy cause.

But the robo-calls New Democrats and Liberals are alleging the Conservative party made during their successful 2011 election campaign are much more insidious.

They say the robo-calls to voters in ridings across Canada directed them to incorrect polling stations, perhaps frustrating their attempt to cast their ballot and influencing the election’s results.

An economist at Simon Fraser University, Anke Kessler, says that’s entirely possible.

Kessler crunched the numbers and in a draft discussion paper published on her website, she says as many as 2,500 voters in ridings targeted by the robo-calls may not have reached their proper polling station to cast their vote.

In five of those ridings that was enough to secure victory for the Tory candidate over their Liberal and NDP opponents.

Kessler concludes her analysis “suggests that any alleged robo-calling had a statistically significant impact on voter turnout and election results.”

While shady ethics and playing fast and loose with the truth are expected elements of any election campaign, outright deception to dissuade voters from exercising their democratic choice crosses a dangerous line.

In our electronic age, there are few secrets that can’t be uncovered.

As the robo-call scandal unfolds, the Conservatives may yet fall upon their own sword.

Cold climate on Planet BCTF T he stories began tumbling out as soon as last week’s column on teacher union indoctrination of students was posted on our websites.

Most parents, retired teachers and administrators requested anonymity, because their kids and grandkids still have to go to school, or they have relatives or fair-weather friends in the B.C. Teachers’ Federation who mustn’t be enraged by any contradiction of their dogma.

There was the Grade 3 art class in Langley where students were assigned to create anti-Bill 22 protest signs. There was the Grade 6 teacher in Greater Victoria who started a one-hour drill on BCTF talking points by telling students not to believe anything they see in the media. There was the middle school in the Gulf Islands that dismissed students early to force them all out in a show of solidarity against the latest of many legislated settlements.

And there were the BCTFBCGEU pickets that blocked entrances to government offices here in Victoria, harassing, threatening and

physically blocking office workers in an effort to force them to join the thousands bused in for the traditional howling show of strength for Big State Labour bosses on the legislature lawn.

In my 20 years of criticizing the policies and tactics of teacher union radicals, I have had my office windows smashed twice. I have seen a mob of self-absorbed strikers push a senior off the sidewalk into the snow.

My daughter has been subjected to hard-left environmental propaganda in elementary school. I’ve never To seen anything quite like this.

But hey, let’s be constructive here.

First, I should emphasize I understand that these incidents do not represent the vast majority of dedicated teachers, who wouldn’t think of intentionally abusing their position for personal or political gain.

I mean that sincerely.

And thanks to all the teachers who sent me lectur-

ing letters, particularly those who insist that they don’t really want another 16-per-cent raise, because their first priority is improving classroom resources.

Volume doesn’t permit individual responses to everyone. If I don’t get back to you, please convey your willingness to accept a brief wage freeze to your union executive. They’ve scaled back some of their more egregious prep time and paid leave demands, but apparently your admirably altruistic message has not yet been absorbed. m And yes, I’m aware that the Harvard study of class size and performance I mentioned last week examined charter schools in the United States.

I understand that “charter school” is considered coarse language in B.C. As with health care, there must be no serious competitive dynamic or other dangerous experimentation permitted within the unionized state monopoly

model.

And thanks for suggesting I’m an agent of the B.C. Liberals, who invented poverty 11 years ago.

East Van MLA Jenny Kwan touched on it in the debate on Bill 22. Children coming to inner city schools hungry, inadequately clothed, with lice. Abused children.

I can assure Kwan that these tragic realities are not confined to the hellish B.C. Liberal era of spending increases.

Indeed, I witnessed all these things in my threeroom school in Tomslake, B.C. in the 1960s. Social Credit was to blame then. I remember the school more for its great teachers than its undrinkable water or alcoholic principal.

And to all those who provide spelling-challenged advice on journalistic objectivity, here’s the thing. The first rule of opinion writing is to have one. I’m not looking for middle ground in the cold vacuum between Earth and Planet BCTF. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

YOUR VIEWS

Trust professionals on front line of education Editor, The Record: An open letter to education minister George Abbott: I am concerned over the declining condition of our education system. I write to you as a taxpayer, registered voter, mother and more importantly, teacher. I am a learning support teacher at Mission Middle School and I love my job. I am continually challenged to make a difference in the lives of students and I know that I do. I have only been teaching for six years and this is my second go-round with job action. I detest it, but what

I detest even more is the continual cuts to education, the lack of respect for my profession and government officials thinking they are better qualified to decide what is best for students instead of the people who work with them on a daily basis.

There are 1,200 students here, and we have three learning support teachers. I know that you are going to tell me that my problem is not a government problem but a local school board problem, but guess what Mr. Abbott, you are wrong. On my caseload I have 35 kids. Of those,

24 are assigned a “Q” designation, or more simply put, a learning disability. Your government has decided that students with this designation are not eligible for funding. This means students with a “Q” designation are falling through the cracks at an alarming rate.

Learning disabled students do not get classroom help because they do not provide extra funding to hire an education assistant. They do not get learning support blocks because they do not provide extra funding to hire additional learning support teachers.

They are placed in classes of 32 or 34 kids with seven other “Q” students and three other behaviour students.

They do not get the help in class because the classroom teacher is too busy trying to deal with students who have mild or severe behaviour issues in an already overloaded classroom.

Why are “Q” students not as important as any other student in the school? Why is your government content to let these children fail and then blame the teacher?

Children deserve to be educated by the best means possible, not sent

the message that a new roof on BC Place Stadium is more important.

Your solution should be to trust the professionals on the front lines. You trust judges to use their education to make decisions in a court of law, so why do you not trust teachers?

Job action is not about money, it is about students, their rights and the respect of teachers. Please think twice before you pass Bill 22 and decimate what is left of our education system.

Alison Evans Mission

Columnist taking Teachers left with little page from BCTF alternative but to strike Editor, The Record: Re: BCTF indoctrinating kids (Mission Record, March 8): I have to admit, I was almost fooled by Tom Fletcher’s column in the Mission Record last Thursday. When I read how outraged he was by the way B.C. teachers are indoctrinating our young people into the philosophy of the left and how the teachers are all liars, I thought it was just Tom being his usual outspoken, reactionary, closed-minded self.

It didn’t seem to make sense that he totally accepted the government’s facts and figures as truth and totally rejected the BCTF data as lies, while complaining that students were being fed a “North Korean-style system of indoctrination.”

Shouldn’t a responsible journalist take a more even-handed approach? Then I realized that he was taking a page from the BCTF and teaching by example, providing an excellent demonstration of what indoctrination looks like.

For instance, by accepting the government’s assessment that teacher demands would cost $2 billion and denouncing the BCTF claim that it would be more like half a billion, he was demonstrating the need to loudly and consistently deny the claim of any opposition.

By calling the teachers liars, he

was showing how necessary it is to denounce not just the content, but the character of the other side.

Classic stuff, and it looked like he really meant it, but he didn’t fool me for long.

The big clue came when he said we should Google “Study: class size doesn’t matter.”

I did and guess what I found? A website’s link to a Washington Post story on a Tennessee study on 35 charter school classrooms that sort of indicated that class size was not as big an influence on academic success as previously thought. But right under that link was another called “drwilda-battle-of-the-studies-does-class-size-matter” and it makes it very clear that reducing class sizes has been “proven to increase student achievement through rigorous randomized experiments.”

And this by the Institute of Education Studies, the research arm of the U.S. Department of Education, no less!

I never would have discovered that if I hadn’t followed Tom’s instruction.

So kudos to Mr. Fletcher for demonstrating not only the true meaning of indoctrination but also how to combat it; don’t just listen to the raving blowhards, find the information out for yourself.

Mike Balser New Westminster

Editor, The Record: In response to the letter someone left under my windshield wiper on the last day of the teacher’s strike, I’d like to state the following.

There are a great many misconceptions and misrepresentations that have been taken as “truths” during this job action by teachers.

First, given the critical state of education underfunding there is suffering that occurs daily when students cannot get their needs met. It is not because teachers are incompetent or uninterested.

Rather, it is because the queue is so long and the needs so great. It is physically impossible to get to everyone, with current class sizes, and with the diversity and intensity of individual needs. Students suffer while they languish, waiting,

Diamond Ring starting from

$699

I share your deep concern for the social justice issues of poverty, homelessness, and the declining state of health care. Please be clear that teachers are social activists, too. The BCTF has one of the most engaged, active, and informed social justice groups in the province.

Locally, dozens of Mission teachers regularly volunteer their time in such causes as the Homelessness Count, or facilitating Restorative Justice Processes involving troubled youth. I say to you that the answer to these ills is not to lower the standard of others who fare better, but to fight long and hard to raise the standards of those who languish at the bottom ranks of socio-economic status.

Family touched by outpouring of support Editor, The Record: My family and I wish to take the opportunity to thank all the wonderful people who attended my husband Rick’s celebration of life.

It was a testimony to everything that Rick was: a great husband, father, grandfather and friend. Rick was also a volunteer with the Canadian Cancer Society, Mission and District Lions Club, Soap Box Derby, MCC Thrift Store, and many

and teachers suffer in knowing what it would take to support these kids and being unable to do anything about it. Yes, I agree, there is a different kind of suffering that takes place during a strike, but we were left with little alternative, given the severity of the looming legislation in Bill 22.

Second, I’d simply like to challenge your statement that those who care for our children should be paid minimum wage. Is this how we, as a civilized society, want to proclaim our values? Schools are an environment founded on an ethic of care for all. Without this ethic, schools simply become rigid and unresponsive widget factories of little value to society.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, I would like to say that

In later years he enjoyed making people happy with his garden ornaments (arbors, gates, window bars, etc.) made from recycled metal. He gave away many of his creations just to see people’s expressions of joy.

As his ill health progressed, he was still very optimistic about his life, and when he lost his speech, he was still able to give a thumbs up. Rick will never be forgotten, and we will

remember him always in our hearts.

He was a very special, giving man, caring and compassionate.

Our family would also like to thank Christine Morrison Hospice for the wonderful care they gave to Rick.

He would have been very happy at the outpouring of love and caring.

That was what he was all about.

RCMP still looking for riot suspects Mission RCMP were handing out “most wanted� flyers Thursday afternoon containing pictures of rioters from last summer’s Stanley Cup Final in Vancouver who have so far evaded police identification.

Insp. Richard Konarski said the BC Chiefs of Police came together to organize a wider regional search with the Integrated Riot Investigation

Team in the hopes people will recognize one of the faces and come forward. “I think most people in the community say it’s not right that people ended up ruining something that should have been a great memory and ended up scarring a community,� he said as he handed out flyers outside Safeway. “The message is that we’re still coming. We’re

happy to work with our partners in the Vancouver Police Department and I know right across the Fraser Valley other RCMP detachments are jumping in.�

Police have thousands of pictures of people who participated in the June 15 riot, but many have yet to be identified.

But Konarski said that doesn’t mean they’re off the hook.

Mission RCMP have seized over $500,000 worth of stolen equipment from a rural property in the 35000block of Hartley Road following a tip from residents during a March 5 town hall meeting.

Police visited the property the next day and spotted several containers and trailers. Upon closer investigation several pieces of heavy machinery were also located and confirmed stolen.

The property owner was apparently unaware the items were being stored on his land, and with his cooperation the RCMP seized over $500,000 worth of stolen property including three skid steers, a tractor, excavator, road grinder, road sweeper, two utility trailers, a bobcat and a seadoo. “The half-million dollar seizure of stolen property is a direct result of concerned neighbors in this rural area recording and reporting suspicious activity,� said Cpl. Sharon Siluch.

RCMP have also called the Lower Mainland Forensic Identification Section to gather evidence in an attempt to identify any suspect(s).

Anyone with information on these thefts, or any crime, can contact the RCMP at 604826-7161, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477); quote file number 2012-2366.

FUNDING FOR STUDENTS, NOT FOR WAGE HIKES. The BCTF is demanding a 15 per cent wage hike and other benefits that would cost $2 billion and raise taxes for BC families. Virtually all other public sector unions have settled for no wage increases.

It’s unacceptable that schools are disrupted and that students and their families are inconvenienced over an unreasonable salary demand in difficult economic times. The union is making claims and demands that simply don’t add up.

BCTF CLAIMS AND DEMANDS

FACT

The union wants more paid time outside the classroom – sick leave for teachers on call, expanded bereavement and discretionary leave.

The government wants more time for teacher training and to ensure that Pro-D days really are for professional development.

The union says all teaching positions should be selected on the basis of seniority.

The government supports seniority but qualifications must also count so that math teachers teach math, and science teachers teach science.

The union says that teachers who perform poorly in evaluations will be dismissed – ‘one strike and you’re out’.

The government wants to support teacher improvement through a standardized evaluation process.

The union says that government refuses to negotiate.

There has been over a year of negotiations and 78 full bargaining sessions.

The union says that class size limits have been eliminated.

Class size limits will remain in place on all grades across BC.

The union says that BC has 700 fewer special needs teachers.

2100 new teaching assistants have been hired since 2001. And, with a new $165 million Learning Improvement Fund, we will hire more.

It’s time to focus on what matters most in education – BC’s students. That’s why we are focused on per-student funding which is at an all time high, not on wage increases.

We all want to do more to make BC’s education system even better. It’s the driving force behind BC’s Education Plan that teachers, parents and students are helping to shape.

Teachers care about their students. Parents care about their children’s future.

OxyContin phase-out brings ‘panic’ for addicts

BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

B.C.’s decision to clamp down hard on prescription access to oxycodonebased narcotic painkillers has prompted concern that desperate addicts may turn to other drugs or crime.

OxyContin, dubbed “hillbilly heroin” on the street, is being phased out by its maker and replaced with OxyNEO, which contains the same active ingredient but comes in a different pill form that’s harder to crush and then snort or inject.

B.C.’s health ministry said last Wednesday it will no longer cover OxyContin through PharmaCare as of today (March 8) and new prescriptions for the replacement OxyNEO will be approved only in exceptional cases through a special authority program.

Dr. Caroline Ferris, who works at the 30-bed Creekside Withdrawal Management Centre in Surrey, said more than one-third of incoming detox patients are addicted to prescription drugs and many of them are on OxyContin.

“It’s a big problem,” she said, predicting a rise

in armed robberies and other crime as the last of the drug vanishes later this month and its street price skyrockets.

“I think there will be a lot of panic,” Ferris said.

“We’re probably going to see more break-ins to pharmacy warehouses and other places stockpiling the last of the OxyContins.”

Most illicit users will simply switch to heroin, she predicted.

Legitimate patients will still have access to either OxyNEO or other opioids, Ferris said, adding she supports the province’s decision to try to curb abuse of the prescription drug.

“It’s just as well that this stuff comes off the market,” she said.

OxyContin sells for $50 to $60 per 80-milligram tablet on the street, where it trades like currency.

Ferris said part of the problem is that plenty of people obtain the drug by prescription who don’t actually use it themselves.

Some who have good benefit plans get it for free and pass it on to friends or family who would have to pay more for it.

Ferris said others on welfare may get OxyContin free through Pharma-

Care, sell the pills, and then use the money to buy alcohol, crack or heroin — all of which are much cheaper.

She estimated 20 per cent of controlled prescription drugs like OxyContin end up in unauthorized hands.

Ferris said a serious effort should be made to “weed out the diverters” — possibly by doctors conducting urine tests of patients to find those who

don’t actually use the pills they’re prescribed.

She also expects PharmaCare to carefully scrutinize all OxyContin patients who seek to switch to OxyNEO. Ann Livingstone, an advocate with VANDU (Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users), also expects reduced oxycodone access to trigger a switch to more potent narcotics such as morphine derivative Dilaudid or heroin.

“There needs to be some outreach,” Livingstone said. “People can be very, very vulnerable when they’re in withdrawal. That’s when you’ll see women take stupid chances if they’re selling sex or men decide to rob some place.”

She said OxyContin abuse is big in the Abbotsford area, where recreational users have taken to crushing the pills and snorting the powder.

Heritage to Hatzic run on April 1

MSS earns first title since 1954

The Mission Hillstompers’ Heritage to Hatzic run happens April 1.

The routes will be the same as last year, with the start/finish line at Heritage Park Secondary School, on the corner of Stave Lake Road and Prentis Avenue. The course follows the trails through Heritage Park towards Hatzic and then back to the school.

Prizes include gift certificates, iPod Touch and iPod Shuffles, and GPS running watches.

All proceeds will be donated to the Mission Hospice Society. Online registration is available at www.missionhillstomp. com, and forms are available at your local gym or the Leisure Centre.

With the senior boys basketball team’s provincial title win last Saturday, Mission secondary might have set history, according to one of its coaches.

The Roadrunners fought their way to the finals in Kamloops, and closed down their opponents from Burnaby’s St. Thomas More 70-56, which garnered MSS its first AA basketball championship since 1954.

But, said MSS principal and co-coach Jim Pearce, after checking with B.C. School Sports, there appears to be no record of any high school winning a provincial football and basketball title in the same year. “It’s been 12 years of us building a strong program,� he said, noting the weekend win was satisfying for himself and co-coach Danny Jakobs. “We got ‘er done.�

The provincial competition started for Mission last Wednesday, and the Seventh Avenue school was off to a strong start, knocking out LV Rogers in a decisive fashion, 65-38.

The next game wasn’t so easy.

Mission was up against Duchess Park and that team came out on fire, said Pearce, limiting MSS’ scoring chances and tying up their attackers. “In the second half it was definitely our defense that kept us in it.�

The Roadrunners started to hit their own stride and pushed to a 66-60 win, putting them into the semifinals against Brentwood. “We were really struggling to find the hoop� early on, said Pearce, and MSS fell behind 31-23 at the half. The team rallied and in the third quarter went on a 24-6 scoring run which helped them pull ahead for the 53-43 victory.

The final against STM was going to be a war. “We thought we were well matched and it was going to be a contest of who could battle each other mentally,� said Pearce.

The Knights surprised MSS and came out playing zone, instead of man defence, but a string of threepointers from Luc Comeau allowed Mission to be slightly ahead 31-30 at the half. “Our best quarter is always the third,� Pearce said, and he and Jakobs reminded the players of that fact during halftime.

The pep talk worked. “We locked them down,� he said.

The Roadrunners went on a 20-4 scoring spate and halfway through the fourth, Pearce said STM looked demoralized.

MSS carried its momentum forward to a 70-56 win.

What’s Happening in Mission

SOMETIMES LOVING OTHERS IS DIFFICULT Although loving those around us is sometimes easy, at other times it may seem almost impossible. When we are feeling good and our friends and family are treating us well, loving them is easy and affords no great credit to us. But when others treat us poorly, especially when they do things that we consider unforgivable, loving them can be extremely difficult. However, when we are able to love them under these trying circumstances, it is a credit to our goodness and a true reflection of God’s unconditional love. When thinking only of how good it feels to love and be loved, we may mistakenly be tempted to think that loving others is easy. We should remember that loving others, especially those who hate us or do us harm, can sometimes be very difficult. It may be the hardest thing that we are called upon to do.

God’s commandment to love our neighbor is something that we should strive to do on a daily basis.

The greatest love is that which loves when love seems truly impossible.

For with God nothing will be impossible.

Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 890 and 892 of the Local Government Act, a Public Hearing will take place in the Council Chambers of the Municipal Hall, 8645 Stave Lake Street, Mission, BC at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, March 19, 2012 to consider the following proposed bylaws: DISTRICT OF MISSION ZONING AMENDING BYLAW 3943-2006 (R06-023 – Holman) This bylaw proposes to amend District of Mission Zoning Bylaw 5050-2009 by: (a) adding the new CD-14 Comprehensive Development zone to accommodate a 109 unit clustered residential development consisting of bare land strata acreage lots, common open spaces and one approximate 17.9 acre fee simple farm property. The CD-14 zone sets out the permitted, principal and accessory uses, development conditions, lot area, density, number of residential buildings, lot coverage, height of buildings, setbacks, accessory off street parking, agricultural and accessory greenhouse uses; and (b) rezoning a portion of the property located at 8980 East Edwards Street (labelled Area A) and legally described as Parcel Identifier: 013 381 491; South East Quarter Section 35 Township 17 Except: Firstly: Part on Plan 3767 Secondly: Parcel “7” (Explanatory Plan 14778) New Westminster District from Rural 80 (RU80) zone to CD-14 Comprehensive Development zone; and (c) rezoning a portion of the property located at 8980 East Edward Street (labelled Area B) and legally described as Parcel Identifier: 013 381 491; South East Quarter Section 35 Township 17 Except: Firstly: Part on Plan 3767 Secondly: Parcel “7” (Explanatory Plan 14778) New Westminster District from Rural 16 (RU16) zone to CD-14 Comprehensive Development zone; and (d) rezoning the property located at 8977 West Edwards Street (labelled Area C) and legally described as Parcel Identifier: 010 997 466; Lot 5 Section 35 Township 17 New Westminster District Plan 3767 from Rural 16 (RU16) zone to CD-14 Comprehensive Development zone.

The location of the subject properties is 8980 East Edwards Street and 8977 West Edwards Street and the portions to be rezoned are shown on the following map:

received contaminated soils will be listed on the provincial Site Registry, may be excluded from development until cleaned up, and often suffer significant reductions in property value.

Please contact the engineering department at 604-820-3736 prior to cutting of trees or dumping of soil on your property.

The purpose of the proposed amendment is to create a new comprehensive development zone (CD-14) to accommodate the subsequent subdivision of the subject properties into 109 bare land strata lots ranging in size from 1,018 square metres (10,961 sq. ft.) to 2,185 square metres (25,523 sq. ft.) and one (1) fee simple lot that is 17.93 acres in size (within the Agricultural Land Reserve).

The application was originally considered by Council on October 25, 2006; a Public Hearing was held on January 29, 2007 and the bylaws received third reading on May 7, 2007.

The purpose of holding a second Public Hearing is to amend the requirements prior to Council consideration of adoption of the zone amending bylaw. Specifically, the applicant is seeking Council approval to enter into a Development Agreement with the District to secure off-site servicing requirements to obtain zoning approval.

Copies of the proposed bylaws and reports relevant to these bylaws may be inspected at the Municipal Hall, 8645 Stave Lake Street, Mission, BC, Monday to Friday, excluding statutory holidays, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and at the Mission Library, 33247 2nd Avenue, during regular opening hours, from March 8, 2012 to March 19, 2012.

At the Public Hearing, persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by these proposed bylaws will have the opportunity to be heard. If you are unable to attend, you may send a written submission, including your name and address, to the attention of Paul Gipps, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer or email info@mission.ca by 4:00 p.m. on the date of the Public Hearing. All submissions will form part of the record of the Hearing.

Please note that no further information or submissions can be considered by Council after the conclusion of the Public Hearing.

Immediately following the Public Hearing portion of the meeting, council may consider moving bylaws forward for additional readings.

Please note that this schedule will be updated weekly.

Pursuant to Section 92 of the Community Charter, a council must state, by resolution passed in a public meeting, the fact that the meeting or part of the meeting is to be closed and the basis under the applicable subsection of section 90 on which it is to be closed. Municipal Council will, therefore, hold a Regular Meeting of Council for the sole purpose of going into a closed council meeting at 2:00 p.m. in the Conference Room at Mission Municipal Hall, 8645 Stave Lake Street, Mission, BC. on the following date(s) if required: March 19, 2012

The Mayor and Council Invite You to Attend a

A long time ago…

When a community experienced harm, crime or conflict The community came together to restore harmony There were no police, or courts, or judges.

Today, many things have changed.

But we still have the capacity to restore harmony To bring together all who have been affected by an incident To hear who was harmed and how they were harmed and what can be done to repair things.

PUBLIC BUDGET CONSULTATION MEETING TO PROVIDE INPUT ON THEIR PROPOSED 2012 BUDGET on THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 2012, starting at 6:30 pm IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS OF MUNICIPAL HALL Council is proposing a 0% tax increase for 2012. The 0% has been achieved with minimal impact on District services or service levels. Council would like to hear and/or receive your input or comments before they finalize the District’s 2012 budget and related property tax rates.

Today Mission Restorative Resolutions is recruiting volunteers to complete our comprehensive training and then serve the community for two years. Volunteers will be trained to facilitate resolutions to referred incidents of harm, crime or conflict based on the values, principles and practices of restorative justice. Referrals to the service come from the RCMP, School District 75, and Crown Counsel.

Council is also proposing a 2% increase in water and sewer rates for 2012, in order to pay for major water and sewer infrastructure that will be needed in the future. There is no plan to increase refuse and recycling/composting user rates for 2012.

Training takes place on Tuesday evenings from 6:30-9:30 and some weekend days over a period of 13 weeks. If you’ve been looking for a way to serve your community and the ideas of accountability, safety, justice and harmony resonate with you, we’d love to hear from you.

After a brief presentation by staff, members of the public will be invited to address Council in order to provide feedback. A 2012 budget overview document that explains the District’s proposed 2012 budget is available on the District’s website (at www.mission.ca/2012budget). Copies of this document will also be available at the meeting.

Training Starts Soon.

The Central Fraser Valley Fiddlers (CFVF) are hosting what could be described as the biggest fiddle event of the year March 17 at the Clarke Theatre in Mission.

When you hear the phrase “old-time fiddle music,” you might imagine a couple of old timers sitting on a porch with a fiddle and a banjo, instruments handed down from generation to generation which have never been tuned. Well, in

some cases you might be right, but for the CFVF old-time fiddle music is about entertaining audiences with jigs, reels, two-steps, waltzes and fox trots.

The CFVF is a welloiled group that has been around since 1973 playing for country fairs, music festivals, seniors’ homes, church functions, private weddings, anniversaries and birthday parties. And they play all kinds of instruments, in-

PHOTO SUBMITTED

cluding accordion, electric slide guitar, banjo and even hammer dulcimer.

The fiddlers you’ll see on St. Patty’s Day consist of four accomplished Canadian musicians. There will be John Arcand, master of the Métis fiddle; Trent Freeman, fivetime Canadian Grand Masters finalist; Allison Granger, a worldwide touring musician; and Patti Lamoureux, threetime Canadian Grand Masters Champion.

Arcand’s impeccable sense of timing and flowing rhythm has made him a legend in the fiddle world, having composed over 350 original tunes.

His passion for the preservation of the Métis traditions earned him the Order of Canada in 2008.

Freeman has been playing classical violin

and fiddle since he was a child, and in 2010 was the recipient of the Outstanding Musical Achievement Award from the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Granger is another former musical prodigy, touring professionally worldwide since the age of 16, sharing the stage with many Canadian superstars, including Alanis Morrisette, Bare Naked Ladies, and Blue Rodeo.

Rounding out the fabulous four is Manitoba Fiddle Association Hall of Fame member Patti Lamoureux, whose fiddle style is described as a little bit Métis, a little bit Québecois, and a whole lot of feel. Lamoureux has been fiddling since she was just four, and has compiled an awards resume that reads like an Olympic champion, including being the threetime Grand North American Fiddle Champion.

The CFVF will kick off the concert at 7:30 p.m. at the Clarke Theatre. Advance tickets are available at $10 for adults and $7 for children and seniors. All tickets at the door will be $12.

Don’t forget that earlier that day the Central Fraser Valley Fiddlers’ Pacific Fiddle College will be hosting workshops from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Heritage Park Secondary School. All four performers will be the fiddle instructors for this day-long event.

The cost is $125 and includes four one-hour workshops, snacks, pizza lunch, and admission to the concert in the evening. Contact Lillian 604-792-1166 or email pacificfiddlecollege@ gmail.com. Registration forms can be found at the Central Fraser Valley Fiddlers website.

I

n the early 1980s, SFU and UBC inaugurated a policy of free registration for seniors who wished to enroll in regular courses.

Not long after this, some community colleges developed special programs for seniors in recognition of their particular needs, and non-profit societies were formed to specialize in education for this part of society. Education had changed from career training to lifestyle enrichment. In Mission, the Lifetime Learning Center was formed in 1986 and has recently celebrated its 25th anniversary.

As the 1900s unfolded and the country became involved in two world wars, more and more women filled the gaps in society that resulted from the men being in the armed forces. They learned more about business and management and contributed huge

amounts of volunteer work. During the 1920s, “The Famous Five” women of Alberta spearheaded the political movement that make woman “persons” and made them powerful leaders in their communities, helping them survive the Depression and creating new services, especially hospitals. Libraries became an important educational resource in most communities as individuals craved more and more intellectual stimulation.

By the mid-1980s it was realized that retired people were craving this stimulation — what was not yet realized was that this craving came from a mental and physical need. Modern research has shown that lack of stimulation may result in increased deposits of destructive proteins which are a forerunner of Alzheimer’s disease. Similarly, lack of physical exercise can result in disabilities

that cripple the aging body.

Now health and wellness programs have become an increasingly important part of Lifetime Learning. Osteofit is a specialty and mobility is restored through exercise and walking.

The stimulation and confidence that came with seniors’ programing changed their whole approach to living. One such woman who became involved with an early Canadian history series said with true excitement, “I have just learned that I am part of history.”

Perhaps this is what we all want in our older years — the feeling we are part of history and have the ability to create a legacy of inspiration and involvement in learning with brains that can still cope with ideas that span the past and the present, and look forward to the future.

Heritage to Hatzic run on April 1

MSS earns first title since 1954

The Mission Hillstompersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Heritage to Hatzic run happens April 1.

The routes will be the same as last year, with the start/finish line at Heritage Park Secondary School, on the corner of Stave Lake Road and Prentis Avenue. The course follows the trails through Heritage Park towards Hatzic and then back to the school.

Prizes include gift certificates, iPod Touch and iPod Shuffles, and GPS running watches.

All proceeds will be donated to the Mission Hospice Society. Online registration is available at www.missionhillstomp. com, and forms are available at your local gym or the Leisure Centre.

With the senior boys basketball teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provincial title win last Saturday, Mission secondary might have set history, according to one of its coaches.

The Roadrunners fought their way to the finals in Kamloops, and closed down their opponents from Burnabyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s St. Thomas More 70-56, which garnered MSS its first AA basketball championship since 1954.

But, said MSS principal and co-coach Jim Pearce, after checking with B.C. School Sports, there appears to be no record of any high school winning a provincial football and basketball title in the same year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been 12 years of us building a strong program,â&#x20AC;? he said, noting the weekend win was satisfying for himself and co-coach Danny Jakobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;er done.â&#x20AC;?

The provincial competition started for Mission last Wednesday, and the Seventh Avenue school was off to a strong start, knocking out LV Rogers in a decisive fashion, 65-38.

The next game wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so easy.

Mission was up against Duchess Park and that team came out on fire, said Pearce, limiting MSSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; scoring chances and tying up their attackers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the second half it was definitely our defense that kept us in it.â&#x20AC;?

Roadrunners win final 70-56

BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

The Roadrunners started to hit their own stride and pushed to a 66-60 win, putting them into the semifinals against Brentwood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were really struggling to find the hoopâ&#x20AC;? early on, said Pearce, and MSS fell behind 31-23 at the half. The team rallied and in the third quarter went on a 24-6 scoring run which helped them pull ahead for the 53-43 victory.

The final against STM was going to be a war. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought we were well matched and it was going to be a contest of who could battle each other mentally,â&#x20AC;? said Pearce.

The Knights surprised MSS and came out playing zone, instead of man defence, but a string of threepointers from Luc Comeau allowed Mission to be slightly ahead 31-30 at the half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our best quarter is always the third,â&#x20AC;? Pearce said, and he and Jakobs reminded the players of that fact during halftime.

The pep talk worked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We locked them down,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The Roadrunners went on a 20-4 scoring spate and halfway through the fourth, Pearce said STM looked demoralized.

MSS carried its momentum forward to a 70-56 win.

Players honoured â&#x20AC;˘ Luke Morris: tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most valuable player; first team all-star. â&#x20AC;˘ Rhys Parry: first team all-star. â&#x20AC;˘ Luc Comeau: Defensive player of the tournament; second team all-star.

Mission Roadrunner Luke Morris was named the provincial competitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most valuable player and became a first team all-star.

This model is available while quantities last as it is being discontinued. No rainchecks will be issued. In the unfortunate event that this model is no longer available, we are pleased to offer the Sunbeam SBMW759W (WebCode: 10143370) as a substitute for the same price. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.

Volunteer drivers sought by Mission CCS Cancer treatment often requires a patient to travel to their centre on a daily or weekly basis.

The appointments can be lengthy, scheduled at different daily times and are usually during business hours, Monday to Friday.

This often presents difficulty for a family where other members are working and

already carrying a greater load to ease the burden on the relative with cancer.

In this situation, a volunteer driver program can step in and make a tremendous contribution to the well-being of an entire family.

The Canadian Cancer Society Volunteer Driver program in Mission is in need of

more drivers. Training and dispatch are provided. Time commitments are flexible.

If you are interested in further information about this volunteer opportunity, please contact Christina Chenard, volunteer engagement coordinator at 1-888-222-2240, extension 338, or via e-mail at fvrvolengagement@bc.cancer.ca.

The correct laptop will now be available (approximately) by the week of March 19. Customers who would like an immediate alternative option can purchase the Dell i15RN-4118DBK Laptop (WebCode: 10186486) for the same price. However, please note that this substitute offer is only available in-store, with limited quantities, no rainchecks. Customers who prefer the originally advertised laptop can be issued a raincheck upon request only for the duration of the current flyer period (Mar 9-15).
