MLA Hawes out of cabinet Hawes named parliamentary secretary for Natural Resource Operations Review BY TOM FLETCHER

STRAHL AIMS FOR MP SEAT

Black Press

Premier Christy Clark has named rival Kevin Falcon her finance minister and deputy premier, handing him the delicate task of preparing for a referendum on the harmonized sales tax. Clark unveiled a smaller cabinet at swearing-in ceremonies at Government House Monday afternoon, with new faces and new duties. Among these alterations, Abbotsford-Mission MLA Randy Hawes was removed from his cabinet position as minister of state for mining, but named parliamentary secretary for Natural Resource Operations (NRO) Review to the minister of forests, lands and natural resource operations. Hawes said he wasn’t upset to lose his minister status. “That’s kind of the way it goes. I’m okay with it,” he added. “I’m not surprised. I knew [Clark] was going to make cabinet smaller.” His new role will see him work with natural resources industry representatives to help hammer out the framework for the NRO, which will streamline the permit application process to avoid duplication. “It’s not going to be an easy fix. This is massive change for government,” he said. Currently, Hawes explained, if companies want to open a mine, they apply to several different ministries for the different aspects of the work, and obtain First Nations

consultation on each one. The new system would see all permits evaluated together. Falcon said he accepted his new duties and was looking forward to a referendum that could come as early as June, to decide the fate of the HST. He laughed off his comments the night Clark won the B.C. Liberal leadership vote. “No, no, no,” Falcon said after finishing a close second to Clark on Feb. 26. “Don’t make me finance minister under any circumstances.” Falcon said Monday he would do “an information job,” not a “sales job” in preparing for the vote on the issue that triggered a leadership change. New faces include KamloopsNorth Thompson MLA Terry Lake as environment minister, and Comox Valley MLA Don McRae

entering cabinet as agriculture minister. Both are facing recall campaigns organized by former premier Bill Vander Zalm’s Fight HST group. Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Ida Chong stays in cabinet as minister of community, sport and cultural development. Burnaby-Lougheed MLA Harry Bloy, the only MLA to support Clark’s leadership bid, was named minister of social development. Former finance minister Colin Hansen joined the back bench, along with former premier Gordon Campbell. Also left out of Clark’s new cabinet were former ministers Iain Black, Ben Stewart, Margaret MacDiarmid, Murray Coell, Kevin Krueger and Moira Stilwell.

The view from other side of the table BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

or one of Mission’s school board trustees, sitting at the table last month explaining her reasons to close two local schools was 180 degrees away from where she stood three years ago. Karen Petty is a first-term trustee, and in 2008, had no ambition to get on the board. Until her children’s school — Edwin S. Richards elementary — was included on a list of five schools being considered for closure, Petty was content as a mother and full-time finance manager at Morrey Infiniti Nissan in Coquitlam. “I got a crash course on school board policy,” she said of those early days. She and other parents in the district spent countless hours preparing presentations and pouring over documents trying to source salient points to convince trustees to keep their respective schools open. Three years later, Petty found herself sitting as a trustee, watching other parents working diligently to convince her to keep Deroche and Durieu elementary schools open. “Did I feel for [the parents and students]? Yes. I’ve been in your shoes and I get it,” she noted. “We all had an awful lot of butterflies” on Feb. 22, 2011 when the final choice was made. All the trustees said it was the most difficult decision they had made, and Petty was hopeful parents understand this decision, and all others around the table, was not made lightly. “A lot of parents don’t know what the board is ... and a lot of people don’t understand how governance really works,” she said. “It’s really easy to criticize people. The tough stuff is actually getting out there and doing it.” This sentiment underlines why Petty took on the challenge of being a politician. “If anyone is going to spend $60 million [Mission’s approximate budget], I wanted to make sure it was done right. I don’t want decisions made based purely on emotion.” Petty’s own involvement — beyond working with the PAC for years — with the school district

Karen Petty has learned many of the facets of serving as a school board trustee since her acclamation in 2008.

began in November 2007, when alongside ESR, the board of trustees put Ferndale, Fraserview, Stave Falls, and West Heights elementary on a list for possible closure. In March 2008, trustees voted to shut the doors at Ferndale, Fraserview and Stave Falls. In 2008 she argued ESR was too complex a school to close, and in the end, the board agreed with her. And it was shortly after that event her friends started putting the idea forward of Petty running for a spot as a trustee in the November 2008 election. “It was no light conversation and it wasn’t until September that I decided,” she said. “I’m not afraid to ask the questions and I always try to think four

steps out. I’m not a school teacher — I have a finance background. But I look at the long-term implications while understanding the short term effects,” she said. Despite her fight to convince trustees, the Israel Avenue resident said she was never mad at anyone on the board, and wasn’t intent on kicking a trustee out to make room for her. When former trustee Shelley Clarkson announced her retirement from the board, Petty switched her riding with 16 minutes left before the filing deadline to run in the rural riding. Petty was acclaimed and the rest of the board remained status quo. The thrill of getting involved was quickly buried as Petty took up her position.

“It was straight up hell,” she said of the first year’s steep learning curve. “I had to figure out my role as an individual trustee and how that rolls into the board decisionmaking process.” Petty soon found herself having to think on multiple levels simultaneously: “Here’s what I want as a parent, as an ex-PAC member and as a trustee. Now I have to balance that with the needs of the other 6,400 kids.” And while Petty thought she understood what it meant to be a trustee before getting acclaimed, reality showed the error of her presumptions, especially around funding. So much is decided provincially and is beyond the policy board’s control. But the hard decisions on

how to implement what they’re told fall to trustees, including the legislated requirement that school district can not run deficits. This particular piece forced the 2008 conversation on school closures, as well as last month’s decision, which will see Durieu Elementary School shut down at the end of the academic year due to low enrolment. Despite the stress and time away from her family, Petty said she intends to run for re-election in November. “I didn’t get on this for a oneyear term. I have committed myself” until the electorate decides they don’t want her on the board. “I’m committed to not just maintaining the status quo.”

Strahl looks to replace Strahl in Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon BY ROBERT FREEMAN Black Press

Mark Strahl wants the Conservative nomination for the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon riding. FILE PHOTO

Using his father’s name to kick-start his own political career is not an unexpected charge to Mark Strahl, who announced his bid for nomination as the Conservative candidate in ChilliwackFraser Canyon just two days after his father announced his retirement from politics. But the 32-year-old son of MP Chuck Strahl is quite unflustered by the charge, and made it clear in a Tuesday interview that he earned his own political chops years ago.

He’s worked in every facet of the political life since he was 14 years old, Strahl pointed out, from planting lawn signs to working as an intern to Reform Party founder Preston Manning, to managing the successful election campaign of MP Randy Kamp in the Pitt MeadowsMaple Ridge-Mission riding in 2006. Strahl is currently Kamp’s executive assistant as well as president of the Conservative Board of Directors. “I know what’s necessary to be a good MP,” Strahl said. “I know how to hit the

ground running.” And to keep on running. After watching his father’s political experiences, the sacrifices he made, Strahl said he has no illusions that a novice might hold about the “glamour” of elected life. And he also learned from his father how the machinery of government works, and how a good MP is “able to advance their ideas in Ottawa” and work for constituents at home in the riding. “It’s not easy to get things done in Ottawa — but it is possible,” Strahl said. Knowing first-hand the

roller-coaster nature of political life, and the grueling lifestyle his father lived for 17 years shuttling weekly between Chilliwack and Ottawa, why would he want to run for the nomination? “I’ve always admired my dad when he was a logger, and when he went into politics, I admired the way he conducted himself,” Strahl replied. “I’ve learned from my dad, and from my grandfather, who served in the military, that it’s important to serve your country,” he said. “And with that service

comes some form of sacrifice,” he added. “Anything worth doing probably involves that.” If he wins the nomination, Strahl said he’s not too worried about the NDP claim that one-third of the Conservative votes that once went to his father will come to them. “I haven’t talked to too many small-c conservatives who agree with the biggovernment policies of the NDP,” he said. “I understand they’re trying to capitalize on a change of (Conservative) candidates, but I don’t think it will fool too many.”

District aims for 3% power reduction during Earth Hour Turn off your lights March 26 BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Lights at the Leisure Centre will be dimmed between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. March 26 during Earth Hour. For safety reasons, lights have to remain on at other district facilities, said Mike Younie, Mission’s manager of environmental services. The District of Mission is encouraging residents to take part in this year’s event. Posters have been put up throughout municipal facilities, Earth Hour flyers are being distributed and announcements are being made in local newspapers and on the district’s website. “Earth Hour is designed to allow people to express their concerns for climate change as well as sustainability issues in general,” said Younie. During Earth Hour last year, electrical consumption dropped in Mission by 2.1 per cent, which placed Mission 24th out of 71 participating com-

m munities in B.C. Younie hopes to see a three per cent ddecrease this year. Organizers are also asking particippants to plan past the important hour aand consider ways to regularly consserve energy. Younie There are tips available through Earth Hour (www.earthhour.org), BC Hydro (www.bchydro.com) and Fortis BC (www.fortisbc. com) websites. “We encourage our residents and businesses to review these websites and others to save money and help battle climate change,” said Younie. Beyond Earth Hour the district is conducting an energy efficiency study and retrofitting buildings, as well as developing a Community and Energy Emissions Plan. A symposium on resilient cities is being held March 24 to address sustainability issues. There will be a free public session in the evening, Younie added. More information about the workshop is available at www.mission.ca/resililent-cities-symposiummarch-24-2011.

Suspect holds up three local convenience stores Tire warning for Hatzic residents Hatzic area residents are being advised to keep an eye on their vehicles overnight as numerous tires have been slashed recently. On Feb. 28 the tires were damaged on about 20 vehicles and the complaints haven’t stopped, said RCMP Sgt. Miriam Dickson, adding incidents are happening between the west end of Jasper Avenue and Hatzic Secondary School. “It would appear as though the offenders walked from, or to, the trail located at the west end of Jasper to Hatzic school, slashing tires along the way,” she noted. The flattened tires are usually discovered in the morning, and unfortunately there is little residents can do to prevent this from happening, except park their vehicle in a garage or well-lit area, said Dickson. Police have canvassed the neighbourhood for clues, but no suspects have been identified. Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to contact Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161.

Speed a factor in Wilson crash Three people were taken to hospital after two vehicles collided head on March 12 on Wilson Street around 3:15 p.m. A black Honda Civic was travelling southbound on Wilson, just south of Dewdney Trunk Road when the 17-year-old Maple Ridge male driver lost control of the vehicle at a corner and slid into the oncoming lane. The Civic collided with another vehicle, driven by an 85-year-old female Mission resident. The elderly woman suffered bruises and unknown chest injuries and was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital by air ambulance in stable condition. The teenaged driver and his 18-year-old female passenger were both taken to Ridge Meadows hospital for further examination. Police say speed was a factor in the crash and charges are being considered against the young driver.

Mission Mounties are looking for a woman between 20-30 years old in connection with three armed robberies last week. The suspect hit two stores on Thursday, March 10. Just before 7:30 a.m. the lone female walked into the Esso Gas Station in the 7200 block of Park Street, pulled out a knife and demanded money. She fled after the attendant placed the cash inside the black bag she was carrying. She was wearing a black hoody, with the hood up and a mural applique on the back, a black bandana which covered her face, and a black glove on her right hand. Around 7:50 p.m. on the same day, police believe the same woman entered the Mountainview Grocery Store in the 8100 block of Manson Street, produced a knife and ordered the victim to place the cash in a black cloth grocery bag with long handles. The suspect was last seen getting into a dark, older model car. She was described as fair skinned with dark hair, wearing a red sweater, white hoody and black mask to cover her face. The woman was also wearing black shoes, black yoga-style pants and a black glove on her right hand. The third convenience shop in the 33000 block of First Avenue was targeted on Monday, March 14 around 8:40 p.m. Brandishing a knife, one fe-

male entered the store and demanded cash. The suspect was described as Caucasian, about 5’5” tall with blond hair. She was carrying a black purse and wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black pants and a scarf on her face. She fled in a brown, older style sedan which was waiting for her outside.

OPINION

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

Respect for Parliament A ruling by the Speaker of the House of Commons may add fuel to the federal election fire, but what it should do is cause the ruling Conservative government to remember something basic — Canada is a democracy, and accountability is an important part of democracy. Speaker Peter Milliken ruled that International Cooperation Minister Bev Oda may be in contempt of Parliament for misleading MPs about a memo that was altered. His other ruling was that the government did not give MPs enough information about the cost of two aspects of its policy, corporate tax cuts and crime bills. While the two subjects are different, the way both were handled goes to the heart of how the federal government operates. All meaningful decisions are made in the Prime Minister’s office, and cabinet ministers, MPs, Parliament as a whole and taxpayers who pay the bills are frequently kept in the dark. This approach to running the federal government started in the days of Pierre Trudeau, continued under Brian Mulroney and Jean Chretien and has reached a high-water mark under Stephen Harper. While the prime minister and cabinet must set the agenda for the government, in our system, Parliament has the final word. It is supposed to oversee all government spending. If the budget, the major element of the government’s plans each year, is defeated (as can only happen in a minority Parliament), then an election must be called. It isn’t an election that is needed right now. It’s respect for the institution of Parliament and the job MPs are elected to do. MPs must have full information about spending plans in order to cast informed votes, and cabinet ministers must give forthright answers to Parliament and its committees. This isn’t rocket science. It’s basic democracy. - Langley Times

Going Gaga over smart meters T his summer, BC Hydro starts installing 1.8 million smart meters to eventually upgrade every electricity customer in the province. This is controversial for several reasons. First, they’re doing it now because former premier Gordon Campbell decreed it must be done by the end of 2012. Second, the smart grid is one of several major BC Hydro projects the government exempted from having to undergo a costbenefit review by the BC Utilities Commission. And, of course, there is the budgeted cost of $930 million, coming at a time when BC Hydro is projecting rate increases approaching 50 per cent over the next five years. When I spoke with BC Hydro smart meter project executive Fiona Taylor last week, she naturally had no comment on the politics. Taylor insists the pending rate increases would be even higher without smart meters. BC Hydro estimates the wireless meters will not only pay for themselves, they will produce a net saving of

$500 million over the next 20 years. Even some BC Hydro employees were surprised to hear that, with current technology, the utility has no way of knowing your power is out until you phone them. And when line crews come out to repair a local blackout, how do they determine if the repair is complete? They drive up and down the road to see if people have lights on. If you use a backup generator, they might miss you. Smart meters will have “last To gasp, first breath” capability, storing enough energy to send a signal that reports the power has gone out, and another signal when it is restored. As it stands, a repair truck can be dispatched to a reported power failure, only to find that the customer’s main breaker has tripped. There is another concern, which is that the brief signals emitted every few hours

to send readings to a central hub are somehow a health hazard. BC Hydro has retained former Vancouver medical health officer Dr. John Blatherwick to respond to this. He notes smart meter signals are the equivalent of a threeminute cell phone call once per day, at a much greater distance. These particular radio frequency signals are similar to those used for digital TV. Such signals are also emitted by the spark plugs of a car, by lightning m strikes, in fact all visible light and even the infrared generated with your body heat. But there are people who insist they have a greater sensitivity, and there will probably be some generalized hysteria and systemmilking as we saw with the squabble over a power line through Tsawwassen. The NDP is nurturing this flame of discontent as

it campaigns against smart meters. It’s popular among the young, and no less an authority than Lady Gaga is the poster girl to warn against wireless Internet in schools. NDP leadership candidate John Horgan is the party’s ranking power expert. He mainly argues that BC Hydro doesn’t need to spend all this money on smart meters right now. But he is careful not to question the tinfoil hat perspective, and risk alienating the ignorant and superstitious vote. This is a key constituency in parts of B.C. Blatherwick notes that “if you truly are harmed by this level of radiation, you can’t live in a major city.” I’ll say. The computer producing this column is on wireless, one of at least a dozen signals it can detect in my neighbourhood. Our modern comfort is fragile, as Japan reminds us. It needs smart equipment, and smart people. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

YOUR VIEWS

Dalton has done Dictatorial approach shown by some little for Mission Editor, The Record: Recall is necessary in Maple Ridge/Mission because our MLA, Marc Dalton, has done little, if anything, for his electorate, preferring to toe the BC Liberal party line. Did Dalton take the concerns of his electorate to the BC Liberal caucus over the Genstar Development in Silverdale? No. When Mission Memorial Hospital was being gutted like a fish by the FHA, where was Dalton? Did he actively fight for our hospital? No. When the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) was brought in, did Dalton vote against it? No. Has Dalton made any effort to get the size of the provincial bureaucracy reduced? No. The HST hurts average British Columbians by shifting $2 billion per year onto their backs from large corporations. That is about $1,300 per average wage-earner in BC each year. Has Dalton tried to have it rescinded? No. Has Dalton fought against bridge tolls? No. Has Marc Dalton held routine town hall meetings to inform the people of Mission about what he has done for them or to hear the voice of the electorate? No. When asked if he would take forward the voice of his

electorate to the BC Liberal caucus, Dalton indicated that he was part of a team and would be taking his direction from them. Does Dalton, therefore, represent the people of Maple Ridge/Mission? No. Dalton chooses to work for the BC Liberal Party, not the people of Maple Ridge/Mission. Canadian democracy is based on the notion that we elect people to public office to represent the wishes of the people. We elect representatives to do what is required on our behalf, placing in them a trust that our needs and desires will be represented. This means that politicians have a fiduciary duty to their electorates to do as they honestly believe their electorate wishes them to do. Marc Dalton has made little or no effort to guide the course of events in Maple Ridge/Mission according to the will of the people, preferring to be Liberal foot soldier.

Editor, The Record: Since moving to Mission in 1992, I have perceived Mission to be on a treadmill or possibly a merry-go-round, which can be summed up in several telling facts. High among detrimental aspects has been the near lack of vision, leadership, good judgment, coordination and creation of an inclusive community. Several rather impressive artist renderings have been published since 1992 and if proceeded upon, Mission would be much further developed into a thriving municipality. Whether the downtown charrette to the more recent waterfront plan, to several progressive development plans that seem to peak,

then disappear. Why is effective communication and good public relations so foreign to council? Why is such poor judgment evident in most decisions? Why is such a dictatorial approach shown by some? A major indictment is to witness 17 candidates for a councillor position, which speaks volumes about how low the bar is, that so many feel they can do an equal or possibly better job than incumbents. The recent PSIT debacle epitomizes the lack of competent leadership, sensitivity, empathy and good judgement and the resulting public fear and anger, exacerbates a lack of confidence, trust

and failure to represent public interests. Last, consolidate all government development plans into a waterfront/ downtown strategy to finally develop these important and vital components. Abandon ideas such as a civic centre on the flood plains, whereas, downtown is the logical place for a new centre, civic square and business hub. Personally, I find no salvation in the expectation most incumbents even understand the concepts I discuss, so a change is needed in the November 2011 municipal elections, and I hope voters make wise choices.

Cedar Street resurfacing appears to be taking long time to complete Editor, The Record: I have today for the umpteenth time in the last few months, used the freshly resurfaced portion of Cedar Street. I find myself moved (literally) to ask a question or two about this alleged improvement to our local infrastructure. Firstly, is this really the finished road surface? The new section of road is chronically uneven along its entire length and downright lumpy in places. Surely a brand new road should at least begin its life as a smooth highway? The poor state of the current surface (both apparently undulating with the underlying

foundation and with surfacebased lumps) does not bode well for the longevity of this project. Since the oddly shaped median has been laid and landscaped I am assuming this is being checked off as a job well done. I beg to differ! Secondly, are the road surfaces at the intersections of Cedar and Tunbridge, Egglestone and Cherry all completed? If so, someone should be ashamed because the surfaces at these intersections (in particular at Cherry) are simply appalling and really should not have been left in this condition, even as a temporary measure.

Finally, what is the projected finish date for this project? As I recall, it began in August last year with much digging and tree-felling and then seemed to take an age to progress during the fall and into winter; surely the worst time to try to lay a new road. We seem to be limping along with a project that is taking a very long time to complete, with a road that is substandard along its full length and with some serious issues yet to be addressed, made all the worse while traffic is continually using it. Of course appearances can be deceptive, but at the

moment (with the near-end activity such as new traffic lights being installed it does after all look like the engineers are almost ready to walk away) this has the hallmarks of a poorly managed and expensive botch which will need more attention before it is 12 months old. Hopefully there are still things to be finished and these issues will disappear, but right now I have an uncomfortable feeling about this project. And not only in my suspension! Leo Simmons Mission

Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earthquake off Japan was a test for B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tsunami alert system, with beaches and coastal areas briefly evacuated and on alert for several hours. It was also the latest in a long series of devastating events on both sides of the Pacific Ocean. Geological evidence indicates there have been 13 great earthquakes in the last 6,000 years. One of the biggest in world history was the Cascadia megathrust event on the B.C. coast on Jan. 26, 1700, which sent a huge tsunami with impacts that can still be seen in

Japan. Japanese records confirm oral histories of First Nations people on Vancouver Island, which describe multiple landslides, prolonged shaking so violent people couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand up, and the tsunamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s destruction of the winter village of the Pachena Bay people with no survivors. More recently, there have been four earthquakes of magnitude seven or higher in the past 130 years in southwest B.C. and northern Washington State, according to Natural Resources Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Earth Sciences Centre.

Fraser Health has awarded a $250,000 annual contract to Communitas Supportive Care Society to operate a fulltime rehabilitation and recovery-focused clubhouse program in Mission. The new contract, awarded following a competitive RFP process earlier this year, replaces the current part-time program and includes an additional $50,000 in funding for the expanded service. The clubhouse will give Mission-area residents access to peerdriven psychosocial rehabilitation mental health services. A location has not been finalized, said

FHA spokesman Roy Thorpe-Dorward. This program offers adults with serious and persistent mental illnesses a place to go where they access a range of support and rehabilitation services. Some of these include life skills development, educational programs (such as food safe or first aid training) and working in and around the clubhouse, cooking, cleaning, generating a newsletter and choosing outings, said Anthony Neptune, FHAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager of rehabilitation and recovery services, in an interview with The Record in December 2010.

There are currently 11 clubhouses operating across Fraser Health; however, until now Mission has been served by two programs: the Mission Clubhouse Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part-time, drop-in program and Mission Community Services Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anything is Possible. Neither of those were able to offer a full range of supports, said Neptune. A total of 90 people use the existing programs. Fraser Health issued an RFP for an expanded Clubhouse Program for Mission earlier this year. The annual contract was awarded to Communitas Supportive Care Society in early February and the new clubhouse program will begin May 2, 2011. Existing programs will remain in place until the new clubhouse begins operation, which will

reduce the impact of the changes upon clients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe that individuals can recover from mental illness,â&#x20AC;? said Lois Dixon, executive director, Fraser Health mental health and addictions services. The society has a history and a strong reputation of providing clientcentered mental health services in Fraser Health, including providing mental health housing, rehabilitation and peer directed services. As well as the new Clubhouse Program, local residents will continue to have access to other core rehabilitation and recovery programs available in the community, including peer support programs, family support and respite, advocacy services, occupational therapy and psychosocial rehabilitation services, which are available through Mission Mental Health.

‘All politics is local:’ Speirs BY PHIL MELNYCHUK Black Press

Asked whether he can make the transition from local councillor to federal Member of Parliament, Craig Speirs didn’t hesitate answering. “The right better take me seriously,” he said, adding that’s one of the knocks against Conservative MP Randy Kamp, that he has no local experience. “For me, all politics is local,” he said, adding that he sees little separation between all levels of government and that he’s looking forward to having NDP policies tested in a campaign. “We need to reconnect with our grass roots and re-connect with our back yards. Here we have a federal government that’s not connected.” Speirs won the NDP nomination March 6, defeating Elizabeth Rosenau and allowing him to represent the party in Pitt MeadowsMaple Ridge-Mission. If an election is held and Speirs wins, which would require gaining about 10,000 more votes than the NDP received in 2008, then he won’t run in the November mu-

nicipal elections. He expects the federal budget later this month to trigger a federal election and expects Kamp to be aggressive in his campaign. But 2011 is different than the last three elections, which Kamp won against the NDP, Speirs said, adding there’s more voter volatility. “We’re not viewed the same way we were six years ago.” Having a strong Liberal candidate running could also help the NDP, he added. Kamp welcomes Speirs to federal politics and couldn’t say if he would be a tougher candidate than Mike Bocking, who lost three times to Kamp. “I know that Mike was a well-informed and articulate candidate in the last three elections and I think Craig has big shoes to fill.” Kamp explained the Speaker’s recent ruling against the government for not providing enough information about the cost of its prison expansion program. That was a question of privilege and the government will try to provide “all the additional information that we can.” He defended the government’s

Bill S-10, still in process, which calls for mandatory jail of six months for people growing more than six marijuana plants for trafficking. “Our job is to ensure that Canadians are safe and secure and that the laws protect them as they should be protected.” He said he hears from across Canada that people want tougher laws. “Families are feeling unsafe.” Kamp recently made a short speech on the topic in the House of Commons. “We think it’s necessary to communicate to those who are growing marijuana … that it’s unacceptable in our society.” The Liberals also plan on having a local candidate, said riding president Brian Rice. If an election is called, the party can have a competitor who’s “competent and capable.” That candidate is currently being vetted by the central campaign of the Liberals in B.C. Rice said he wants the party to regain votes after slipping to fourth place behind the Green party in the 2008 election with only 3,394 votes.

It’s so clear, you could see it with one eye closed. Working under the cover of a false grassroots campaign, the NDP is behind the recall efforts. The NDP’s secret plans for recall were recently uncovered in leaked party documents, with Party President Moe Sihota saying: “Our members can be aggressive in campaigns, but can’t say it is an NDP effort. We should set up as many participants in canvassing as possible in those constituencies that we could win.” When the NDP’s outsiders knock on your door, don’t let them intimidate you into signing the petition.

Feeling New directors elected gas pains Black Press

Average gas prices in Metro Vancouver climbed above $1.30 per litre Friday amid growing concerns about the potential disruption of crude oil supplies as a result of the Middle East crisis. The pump price is now about 10 cents higher than it was a month ago and at the highest level since mid2008, and in Mission, prices have reached $1.15 per liter and higher. Crude oil prices have shot up to well over $100 a barrel in anticipation the threat of revolution or civil war may spread to more countries as protesters try to topple Arab dictators. Energy consultant Michael Ervin said retail gas prices could well climb higher this spring, typically the peak driving season when higher demand tends to lift prices. That would certainly happen if oil prices also rise further, but could happen even if they stabilize close to current levels. The highest price Metro Vancouverites have ever paid for gas was $1.50 per litre in July of 2008. Crude oil peaked at US $147 per barrel that same month. Libyan oil typically goes to Europe, but buyers there will look elsewhere, driving up demand and prices on other sources. Oil traders are also pricing in the possibility the pro-democracy revolutions may spread and cripple production at other oil-producing countries. – with files from CTV

Some changes to the Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce board of directors were realized March 9, preceded by keynote speaker Scott Ackles, general manager of the 2011 Grey Cup. Ackles explained to the crowd at the annual general meeting the impact hosting a large event like the Canadian Football League’s biggest game of the year can have on a community, and noted using the West Coast Express in a fashion similar to when the 2010 Olympics were in town, can further benefit outlying communities. Following Ackles, eight directors were elected to the board of directors. They include: Cal Crawford (presidentelect), Elyssa Lockhart (vice-president elect), Todd Bugge, Chuck Vander Byl, Ann Harper, Attila Davalovsky, Satti Grewal and Sean Melia.

Resilient cities symposium March 24 Fraser Valley communities can learn how to build resilient cities at a symposium organized by the Planning Institute of B.C. on March 24 at the Clarke Theatre. The day-long session will examine how strong cities respond to issues that will impact how we live, work and play. How will people best cope when fuel prices increase the cost to heat a home, commute to work or run a business? How will municipalities deal with aging infrastructure? The event explores the economic, social and environmental costs of changing the way we build and operate our communities versus the costs of not acting. Professionals in a variety of fields are invited to sign up and participate in the one-day workshop, which begins at 8 a.m. and runs until 4:30 p.m. The cost is $100. There will also be a free evening session for the public at 7 p.m. summarizing key components from the day. For more information about the symposium, visit www.pibc.bc.ca.

Three fires intentionally set BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

Three fires were intentionally set last week at a vacant Fletcher Avenue commercial building. Mission Fire/Rescue Service was called to the former Antonio’s Restaurant site March 9, 10 and 11, said Chief Ian Fitzpatrick. Shortly before 7 a.m. last Wednesday, fire alarms were activated at the building and firefighters found a fire burning outside at the rear of the building. The flames had spread up the wall and extended into the joists, but the damage was quickly contained,

said Fitzpatrick. The investigator said the fire was suspicious. The following day, firefighters were called back after alarms sounded. Someone had broken a window and set a fire inside, causing damage to the walls and

floor. This fire was also deemed suspicious. Security guards were posted to the building 24 hours a day now, said Fitzpatrick, and during shift change March 11, someone set two fires simultaneously; one at the same site as the first and another on a wooden stairwell.

The guards were able to put out the deliberately set conflagrations before the fire department arrived, said Fitzpatrick.

recent survey of tourism attractions in the Mission area listed spiritual experiences as a major draw. One of the most outstanding cultural landscapes in the area, Westminster Abbey, located on a hill northeast of the town centre, with a commanding view up the Fraser River valley, is home to the Benedictine monks. Visitors are attracted by the magnificent abbey church, completed in 1982. Stunning architecture, stained glass windows, and religious art provide a truly remarkable experience to people from around the world. One of the most striking features is the Pfitzer Bell Tower, which appears on many Mission area logos, and can be seen against the skyline by anyone arriving from the east. In 1992, the Vancouver Sun featured “A Love Story” about Kenyon Reynolds and his beloved wife Patricia, who married in 1915. A successful engineer and partner in

gas exploration, Kenyon sold out to Standard Oil of California, and at the age of 34, became a millionaire. Travel, business interests, and gardening filled their lives, until Patricia suddenly died of cancer in 1945. Driven by grief, Kenyon decided to give away his money, enrol at the Seminary of Christ the King, takes vows as a monk, and is ordained as Father Bede in Sha 1951. Patricia’s family — the Pfitzers — donate the shares of a family trust to construct a bell tower; Patricia is interred in a marble crypt in the lower vault of the tower. When Father Bede dies in 1989 at age 97, he is interred in the monastery’s crypt on the slope above the river. Every afternoon, the 10 bells from the famous Whitechapel Bell Foundry in England

which are installed in the tower can be heard ringing out from locations throughout Hatzic and Mission area — a reminder of the millionaire-turned-monk, his love for his wife, and his abiding faith. The grounds of Westminster Abbey provide a natural setting for quiet walks. Although the grounds are not a public park, a series of quiet pathways lead through lightly ron forested areas to a viewpoint overlooking Hatzic, the Fraser River and Coast Mountain range. Benedictine monks arrived in B.C. from Oregon in 1939, located first in Ladner and then in Burnaby; in 1954, the Abbey and seminary moved to Mission. The new abbey, church, and seminary were designed by the Norwegian architect, Asbjørn Gåthe.

A farm was quickly established to ensure food self-sufficiency; pigs, cattle, chickens and vegetables provide most of the needs of approximately 30 monks, as well as students and guests. The abbey, including the farm and woods, covers over 70 hectares of land. The Seminary of Christ the King was completed and blessed in 1957; it provides both high school completion and university level training, and grants bachelor of art and theology degrees. The students are taught by the monks, as well as volunteer teachers. A guest house for retreats was completed in 1971, and a gymnasium– auditorium was added in 1977. Father Dunstan Massey is the abbey’s resident artist. He has painted several frescoes around the abbey, and he has also created a series of concrete bas-reliefs affixed to pillars inside the church. Benedictine monks live by the motto of their order, Ora et Labora, “Pray and Work;” they pray the Liturgy of the Hours at several times through the day. These are usually sung publicly in the church; information on services can be found on their website. Visitors are expected to respect the quiet and peaceful atmosphere, wear appropriate clothing (no shorts) and visit on weekdays from 1:30 to 4 p.m., and on Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m.; special services at Christmas and Easter fill the abbey church, and information on services can be found at westminsterabbey.ca.

The region’s unemployment rate spiked to 9.2 per cent last month but one economist says the big increase doesn’t mean the region is slipping back into recession. The Metro Vancouver jobless rate is up 2.3 per cent from 6.9 in November and the overall B.C. rate is up to 8.8 per cent in January from seven per cent in November, according

to Statistics Canada. Helmut Pastrick of Central 1 Credit Union said the jump looks alarming. But he takes it as an upbeat sign thousands of unemployed people who had stopped looking for work — and weren’t captured by older statistics — are now resuming their job hunt because they’re more confident there’s work to be found. “The labour force participation rate is

in January, although almost all of them were part-time. The level of parttime work still remains at near-record levels, Pastrick said, adding he’d hoped to see more converted to full-time employment by now. But he expects the unemployment rate to decline in the months ahead, as more jobs are created and the overall B.C. economy grows by an estimated 2.9 per cent this year. Pastrick noted Statistics Canada’s jobless rate is seasonally adjusted and can be quite volatile, so he wouldn’t be surprised if the high January figure proves something of a blip.

now the n highest it’s i been in i more than t a year,” Pastrick P Pastrick s a i d . “ T h a t ’s typically viewed as a positive sign. It means more people are looking for work.” Many of those reentering the work force may not be a family’s main breadwinner, he says, but a spouse who works part-time when possible to bring in extra income. More younger people are also likely looking again, he said. An extra 8,900 jobs were counted in B.C.

Metro Vancouver is declaring victory in its campaign to get more people to shun wasteful bottled water and drink tap water instead. A new survey has found roughly half as many people using bottled water as did in 2008, when the region set a goal of cutting bottled water use here by 20 per cent by 2010. The Mustel Group telephone survey found 11 per cent of respondents say they primarily use bottled water, compared to 21 per cent in 2008, while 85 per cent say they mainly use tap water, up from 74 per cent previously. “We actually got a 50 per cent reduction so it was well beyond what we expected,” said Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt, who sits on Metro’s water committee. The campaign, which used the slogan “Nature’s health drink – always on tap”, raised the hackles of bottled water sellers. But Metro politicians

like Hunt maintain the campaign was worthwhile because high rates of bottled water use meant unacceptable numbers of plastic bottles were ending up in the landfill. One report estimated more than 23 million plastic bottles a year weren’t being recycled and were instead ending up in Metro Vancouver landfills – and that even the ones being recycled still carried a heavy carbon footprint. “The issue was reduction of waste and reduction of the creation of the

P R O F E S S I O N A L

plastics in the first place so those resources can be used for something much more beneficial,” Hunt said. Metro officials were also irked by the growing trend toward bottled water use when they had just spent $800 million in taxpayers’ dollars on a major upgrade of the water system. The region has always maintained its water supply is among the cleanest and safest on the planet. But completion of the new Seymour-Capilano Filtration Plant – at

the recommendation of health officers – means water from the North Shore reservoirs that occasionally looked murky is now being filtered, removing an occasional aesthetic objection. Hunt noted it also means less chlorine is added to disinfect the water, which was another objection some had about the taste of tap water. Ninety per cent of those surveyed now agree the tap water quality is excellent or very good – up from 82 per cent before, according to the Metrocommissioned survey. Bottle users cite convenience, taste, health and safety for their choice. Other findings: • 23 per cent drink more tap water than two years ago. • Two-thirds rarely if ever use public drinking fountains, with residents outside the City of Vancouver most likely to have safety or health concerns about them. • 84 per cent now agree bottled water has a negative impact on the environment, compared to 76 per cent previously. The campaign included advertising, social marketing and the launch of an iPhone app to help residents find free locations to refill water bottles with tap water. Several cities pledged to eliminate bottled water sold in their buildings. Metro is also spending $200,000 this year to acquire two water wagons that can be taken to major events as a mobile place where people can refill water bottles. There’s been no talk at Metro of setting a new target to beat bottled water use back further. “We’ve accomplished the basic essence of what we wanted to do,” Hunt said. “We set a trend going in the opposite direction.” Despite the survey results, Nestle Waters Canada claimed a five per cent increase in bottled water sales last year, although it had no data specific to Metro Vancouver. The Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors claims a 10 per cent increase in national bottled water sales, again with no regional breakdown.

More inaccurate CT scan readings found BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

A second radiologist who practised at Fraser Health hospitals — this time at Ridge Meadows Hospital in Maple Ridge — is under investigation for inaccurately reading diagnostic scan results. And because he previously worked in the Fraser Valley, the findings of nearly 2,000 additional scans are being called into question at hospitals in Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Langley. “It is entirely possible there are serious conditions that have not been diagnosed,” said Dr. Andrew Webb, Fraser Health’s vice-president of medicine. “We will not know until we complete the review of those scans whether or not that is the case.” The South Africantrained radiologist worked at Ridge Meadows Hospital under a provisional licence from November 2010 until March 4, when a required quarterly review turned up errors in his CT scan interpretations. A total of 407 CT scans read by the doctor at Ridge Meadows are under review and nine out of 197 checked so far have turned up “significant discrepancies” in the interpretations. The reading errors did not result in any of those nine patients being improperly treated, the authority said. “For that 197, they’re all in the clear,” Webb said. A review of the remaining 210 CT scans is underway. And Fraser Health is also now reviewing Xrays and 184 mammograms that were also interpreted by the same radiologist at Ridge Meadows, who is not currently practising while the investigation proceeds. Because the radiologist previously worked from November 2008 to October 2009 in the eastern Fraser Valley, another 1,933 CT scans he interpreted in that period will also be reviewed. They include 1,158 CT scans performed at Abbotsford Regional Hospital, 679 at Chilliwack General Hospital and 96 at Langley Memorial Hospital. As at Ridge Meadows, the radiologist could only read scans with the oversight of a supervisor and

with quarterly reviews of his work. His second quarterly review while based in Abbotsford turned up concerns in 38 of his mammography findings, Webb said. Two “significant discrepancies” then included one missed cancer, although Webb said those patients ultimately got the right treatment. The supervisor refused

to continue to oversee the radiologist, Webb said, so he could no longer practise at Abbotsford and headed to Europe. The radiologist got more training while in Ireland and then came back to B.C., this time to Ridge Meadows. But his new supervisor at Ridge Meadows wasn’t told of the problems in Abbotsford or that the supervisor there

stopped dealing with the radiologist. “There does seem to be a disconnect of information,” Webb said. “The information in Abbotsford was in Abbotsford. And there was a disconnect between physicians in Abbotsford talking to physicians in Ridge Meadows.” Fraser Health was still operating as 12 indepen-

dent hospitals in 2009, Webb said, but added a new centralized information system that was set up last summer that should ensure proper information flow. The B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons, which licenses doctors to practise in B.C., was also notified in 2009 of the concerns in Abbotsford at that time. Webb could not say

how long it will take to review the more than 1,900 scans performed in 2008 and 2009. “It will take some time to complete,” he said. It’s the second disclosure to rock patients in Fraser Health, after the authority revealed last month it was reviewing scans read by a locum radiologist who worked at Abbotsford and Chilliwack from

mid-August to midSeptember last year. Fraser’s CEO initially said cancers may have gone untreated in a few patients scanned at Abbotsford as a result. Fraser Health says all patients affected by the medical imaging reviews are being contacted directly, but anyone with questions specific to their case can phone 604-8514700 ext. 646617.

MSS senior boys lose in AA final in OT BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

The Mission Roadrunners shouldn’t have gotten out of the Fraser Valleys, but the senior boys basketball team surprised everyone and placed first. The lack of faith continued as the AA team entered the provincials last week. Lo and behold, MSS shocked onlookers and blew past all competitors, clawing their way into the finals against the South Okanagan

Hornets, but ultimately losing in overtime by five points. The Hornets should have obliterated MSS. They’re bigger, stronger

and have a ridiculously tight offense, said MSS coach Jim Pearce. The Hornets were burying teams by 30 points, and with a quartet of solid shooters, it appeared that the Roadrunners’ luck had run out. But Mission’s focus all season has been on containment. They’re not the best scoring team, but their suffocating defense has frustrated opponents. Co-coach Danny Jakobs drew up a game plan that focused on minimizing South Okanagan’s biggest four

threats, and early in the game, it didn’t look like it was working. “We came off slow and were down 20-9 after the first quarter,” said Pearce. A slight attitude adjustment saw Mission regain its centre and nail shots from all over, going on a nine-point run at the start of the second and tieing the game at 29 at the half. Mission was up by three after the third quarter and “now everyone’s cheering for us,” said Pearce. The Roadrunners were down by

four with 30 seconds to go when Luke Morris sunk a three-pointer to help the team tie it up. MSS’ key starters fouled out in OT and the Hornets claimed the prize by five points, 71-66. “We were a little disappointed, especially when you’re that close,” said Pearce, who noted the team’s goal for the year was to make the provincial semi-finals. “The kids just never stopped working. We always told them the harder you work, the luckier you get.”

HPSS wins 2, loses 2 at provincials BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

Heritage Park Secondary School’s senior girls basketball team went 2-2 at the provincials last weekend, finishing 11th after the highly competitive tournament. The Highlanders’ record see-sawed across the four games, losing one, then winning the next in a repeating pattern. The first game against Argyle was a rude introduction for some of the junior players to the provincials as HPSS lost by 19 points. “We just lost our minds,” said coach Frank Chan. “We had an abundance of turnovers.” Regular standout player Erin Chambers was named player of the game. The Mission girls next faced the consistently gritty Terry Fox Ravens, and managed to edge them 49-46 for the win, helped in no small part by the team’s nearly 50 per cent record of shooting from three-point land. Cassie Micona earned player of the game in this contest. The Highlanders were keeping pace with Elgin Park in their third game, but according to Chan with four minutes left, “we just stopped making shots.” Chambers scored 35 points while Mackenzie Fowler snagged 10. The final game for Heritage saw them up against Spectrum, and Chan said several girls made exceptional efforts to help them win 57-44, against the bigger team. Chamber tallied 18 points and 14 rebounds, while Micona earned 21 points and seven rebounds.

Kim Grewal came off the bench “and worked her tail off” all over the court, said Chan, providing rebounds and playing good defense. Despite not making it to the finals, Chan was pleased with

his team’s performance. “Most of the year we were ranked 16th so 11th is a step up,” he said. “The kids worked extra hard to get where we are.” He singled out Meagan

Stachnik who made significant contributions while other teammates were injured, nailing big shots and pushing hard on defense when asked. “She really stepped it up.” Chambers, who will play

as a provincial all-star, was also specifically credited by the coach. “She was the key cog in what we did. We wouldn’t be where we are without her,” said Chan.

Learn about water temps to increase chances of catching E very now and then I am questioned about my belief that water temperature is one of the key factors in fish feeding activity. Most well-seasoned anglers agree each species of fish has an optimum temperature where they are most active. In my opinion, knowing this is not enough; you need to know why. Water temperature regulates everything in a fish’s life: hatching, feeding, growth, and spawning. Fish do not hatch from an egg until the water is warm enough. Then warming and cooling of the water through the seasons determines the species and quantity of food sources available. Being cold-blooded creatures like reptiles, a fish’s metabolism is regulated by the surrounding temperatures. This does not only apply to their activity level, it also applies to food digestion. So not Je only are fish slower in cold water, they also do not need to feed as often. Lastly it is temperature in conjunction with season that triggers spawning migration. Aside from spawning, fish migrate continuously throughout the year in search of that optimal temperature. Knowing this and knowing the preferred water temperature of the fish species pursued, an angler can improve his or her chances of finding and catching fish with the use of a thermometer.

Wahamaa exhibit to open spring season

COMING UP • THURSDAY, MARCH 17:

The Woodside Gallery will kick off the spring/ summer season with a show by Lake Errock artist Kat Wahamaa, who will be debuting her photographic work. Wahamaa, known primarily as a singer/songwriter, has a long resume spanning various disciplines, including visual and literary arts, community development, and social justice. “Although I have spent a lifetime making art of all kinds, this is my first exhibition — which is a bit scary but exciting at the same time,” said Wahamaa. “In terms of the content of this show I have always been fascinated by openings. Doors, windows or archways manifest architectural detail, give history lessons and become works of art at the hand of the elements. Those openings found in nature, and those within us suggest another way of being or perceiving.” “I love the work of Buffy Saint Marie — she’s been making digital art since the early-90s, I believe,” said Wahamaa. “Her pioneering work in computer generated art and use of Photoshop is inspirational.” The exhibition opens April 1 with an artist reception from 7 to 9 p.m. The show runs until April 30. Woodside Gallery is located at 2226 Lougheed Highway in Harrison Mills. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and by appointment. For more information on this show or Woodside Gallery contact Dehlia Simpere at 604-615-7770 or dehliasimpere@yahoo.ca.

• TUESDAY, MARCH 22 UNTIL APRIL 9: Mission Arts Centre gallery features Soul Expressions, Dialogue of the Eternal Spirit by Charles Fawcett. The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., 33529 First Ave. For more information call 604826-0029.

Charles Fawcett is a man of many talents because he isn’t afraid to explore each one. He’s a sculptor, painter, poet, and musician, but it’s his spirituality that is the most captivating of all. It gives him inspiration for everything in which he is involved. A spectrum of Fawcett’s work will be on display at the Mission Arts Centre gallery from March 22 to April 9, with the opening reception taking place on Saturday, March 26 from 1 to 4 p.m. The show is called Soul Expressions, Dialogue of the Eternal Spirit. There will be over 30 items at the exhibit ranging from wood carvings to stone sculptures and paintings in oil and pastels.

“I’m not just an artist, I’m a creator,” said Fawcett at his Mission home and workshop. For example, stone is alive and it renders what Fawcett can bring out of it. The local artist utilizes materials around the community and other places he visits for his work. Each piece is carefully carved, and Fawcett takes as much time as he needs to finish it. He has been working on the large boulder in his driveway for 16 years and is in no hurry to see it complete. The sculpture will represent the four males on the planet and is called The Elders are Watching. One one side is a face of a Caucasian, the other sides show visages of an African, an Asian and an aboriginal man. Like most of his other artwork, you have to walk around it to appreciate its existence. Fawcett uses varied tools

for different creations. With a granite slab, he uses a one kilo mallet and a chisel with a round, blunt point. With marble, he will pick up a lighter mallet and a pointed chisel. With granite, you’re breaking crystals, but with marble, you’re cutting them, he explained. Fawcett has been an artist throughout his life. He attended Emily Carr in 1984 and graduated with honours. He moved to Mission with his wife last year from North Vancouver where he was a member of the North Vancouver Arts Council. Fawcett also teaches classes and his artwork can be found at www.yessy.com. The Mission Arts Centre gallery, located at 33529 First Ave., is open from Tuesday to Saturday, 1 to 4 p.m. For more information call 604826-0029.

What’s Happening in Mission

SAINT PATRICK Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was actually born in Great Britain around the year 385. As a young man, he was captured and sold as a slave in Ireland where he was forced to tend sheep. After escaping from slavery, he became a priest, and then later a Bishop. While preaching the Gospel to the people of Ireland, he converted many to the faith and established the Church there. It is somewhat ironic that a man who was forced into slavery in a foreign land would then return there to preach the Gospel, and that he would eventually become their patron saint. One can only wonder what his life must have been like and what might have moved him to return to Ireland. While there are many legends about Saint Patrick, including the legend that he drove the snakes out of Ireland, one lesson that can certainly be taken from his life is that great men are rarely made from comfortable circumstances. On the contrary, suffering is often the furnace which forges great and noble character. Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the R.S.V. Mark 16:15

Opening Nite Theatre is bringing Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap to its stage beginning April 1. The Mousetrap begins with the murder of a mysterious woman in London. Mollie and Giles have just opened a small guest house with property, about 30 miles from London, that Mollie inherited from her aunt. It is the first day of business and the guests start to arrive. Christopher Wren is a flamboyant architect who praises the style and decor of the house. Mrs. Boyle is quite the opposite as it appears her only reason for living is to complain about everything from there being no taxi to meet her at the station to the lack of staff and poor services. As the rest of the guests arrive, it becomes clear trouble is brewing. Audiences have been watching The Mousetrap for five decades and the show continues to run in London. The Mousetrap runs April 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16 at 8 p.m. Matinee performances are on April 3, 10 and 17 at 2 p.m. Tickets for the show are $12 each and avail-

Some facts about bears Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fact: bears live in our neighbourhoods. While we may enjoy the occasional glimpse from a safe distance, inviting bears into our backyards can create serious hazards, both for people and for bears. With a growing bear population and residential developments advancing further into bear habitat, it is everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility to make sure that bears and people stay at a safe distance from each other. One personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad habits can create problems for a whole neighbourhood. Bears that have become habituated to human smells and garbage are a hazard and are often destroyed. Help them out by not luring them into close contact with humans. To avoid unwanted encounters with bears, store your garbage in a bearresistant garbage container in a secure building. Do not put

out your garbage and compost materials until the morning of collection. Pick up fallen fruit promptly and feed your pets indoors. Even bird feeders can attract a hungry bear, so remove them between April and November and stretch piano wire at least three metres off the ground to hang them in the winter. Did you know that the smell of petroleum also attracts bears? Ensure that all rubber, tarpaper, paint, turpentine, kerosene and charcoal fluids are put away and keep barbecues clean. If you have a backyard composter,

add only small amounts of fruit and vegetable scraps at a time and immediately mix them in with the compost. Sprinkling garden lime on compost speeds up the decomposition process and decreases odours. Never put dairy products, bread or meat in your backyard composter. Always make ample noise if you are in an area where bears can be expected. With enough notice, most bears will leave the area to avoid conflict. If you do encounter a bear, stay calm and speak to it in a calm, firm voice to let him know you are a person. A

If this happens, back away slowly, continuing to talk to the bear. If a black bear attacks you, fight back. Carrying bear spray is a good idea, but can only serve as a last resort in case of actual conflict. Prevention is by far the best strategy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; please do your part.

Report any animal cruelty to BCSPCA The District of Mission reminds everyone that concerns related to the cruel treatment of animals should be reported to the BCSPCA (British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), not the municipal bylaw enforcement department. The reason for this is quite simple – while the municipality shares concerns regarding the welfare of animals, the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act assigns this authority to the SPCA or the police.

Take part in Earth Hour Mission has registered with Earth Hour again demonstrating the district’s commitment to battling climate change. Earth Hour was started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia. Residents and businesses are invited to participate by turning off all unnecessary lights between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 26. This simple action of turning off the lights for one hour will deliver a powerful message about the need for action on global warming. BC Hydro is also supporting this initiative and has information at: www. bchydro.com/news/ community_events/ earth_hour0.html. Please consider registering as an individual or business on the Earth Hour website at www. earthhour.org and share the idea with friends and family. If every household in BC turned off four lights for one hour, we would save enough electricity to wash one million loads in a dishwasher.

Cooking oil and grease can cause fires Kitchen fires due to cooking oil or grease igniting into flames cause the fastestspreading and most destructive type of residential fire. When cooking with grease or oil, it is extremely important that you plan ahead so that you will know how to react fast to fire. Here are some tips: Deep frying The safest way to deep try foods such as chicken or fries is to use a thermostaticallycontrolled electric skillet or a deep fat fryer.

PAY IT

Pan frying Keep a pan lid or cookie sheet handy in case grease or oil catches fire. The lid or cookie sheet should be slid over the top of the pan to smother the fire. Never attempt to move a flaming pot or pan away from the stove. The movement can fan the flames and spread the fire. The pan will also likely be very hot, causing you to drop it. In either case, you are placing yourself at great risk. Your immediate action should be to smother the fire by sliding a lid or flat cookie sheet over

the pan. Afterwards, turn off the heat and exhaust the fan, allowing the pan time to cool. Most importantly, react fast, because grease fires spread very quickly.

pan beneath the broiler rack to catch the fat drippings. Never use aluminum foil for this purpose because the fat accumulated on the foil could catch fire or spill over.

Oven cooking Keep your oven clean. Grease and food splatters can ignite at high temperatures. Ensure that you wear oven mitts when removing cooking containers to avoid serious burns. Follow the cooking instructions for the recipe and the product you are using. Broiling is a popular method of cooking. When you use your broiler, place the rack 5 to 8 cm (two to three inches) from the broiler element. Always place a drip

are a marvellous timesaving tool, but there are three characteristics of microwave cooking you should be cognisant of: • The heat is reflected by the metal interior. • Heat can pass through glass, plastic

and other materials. • Heat is absorbed by the food. Foods, like those in high-fat or sugar, can heat very rapidly but feel cool to the touch. Pastry fillings can be very hot, but the crust cooler. Milk in baby bottles could be boiling, but the bottle itself not very hot to the touch. Use caution at all times. Do not use tin foil or any other metal objects in the microwave. If a fire occurs, keep the door closed and unplug the unit. Call a qualified maintenance technician to ensure the microwave is in proper working order before using it again.
