DEVELOPING MISSION’S WATERFRONT District’s ambitious project a rare opportunity in region PAGE 3

5.88% BY

CAROL AUN

Mission Record

This year’s property taxes will be going up close to six per cent in Mission. Monday night Council approved the first three readings of a bylaw that will raise taxes by 5.88 per cent. For the average home, which is estimated at an assessed value of $381,000, that’s a tax increase of $92.49 per year. For months councillors have been receiving feedback from the public, and while many say

District council approves tax hike

taxes are too high, Mayor James Atebe notes it’s important to maintain services and continue with strategies that are working. The district will proceed with plans to hire four full-time firefighters this year, but will hold off on adding another assistant fire chief in 2010. The budget also allows the addition of one police officer, which will support the district’s crime reduction strategy. Crime and public safety are two priorities for council, said Atebe. Hiring four full-time fire fighters make up 1.87 per cent of the overall increase, which works out

to about $440,472. The extra police officer will cost $121,500 or 0.51 per cent. There were mixed responses to the questionnaires handed out during the budget consultation process, which asked whether or not more police and firefighters were needed. Some people said the district should make do with what’s available, and others said more emergency services staff are needed in a growing community. In the budget, no provisions have been made for inflation.

A woman in her 70s suffered a fatal heart attack while driving on Monday, causing a fourcar crash. According to Mission RCMP, the accident occurred around 6:15 p.m. when coronary failure caused Mission resident Joan Rutz to lose control of her vehicle on the Lougheed Highway, near the Highway 11 intersection. Police were first on scene, and initiated CPR on the heart attack victim, until BC Ambulance Services and Mission Fire/Rescue arrived. A total of four vehicles were involved in the accident, but the other vehicle occupants sustained what police described as minor injuries.

“Council will always continue to look at efficiencies,” added Coun. Mike Scudder, commenting on a letter from Rod Sheath, who suggested council look at ways to offset increasing costs. Sheath pointed out there are a number illegal secondary suites across the district, and homeowners who profit and renters who benefit from the city’s services and infrastructure, should pay accordingly. Council is expected to adopt the bylaw at its March 22 council meeting.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 2010

Great interest in waterfront planning ‘It will put Mission on a stage,’ predicts B.C. chamber director Epp BY

NEIL CORBETT

Mission Record

Mission will one day have a vibrant waterfront, just like Fort Langley, New Westminster and so many other Lower Mainland communities along the Fraser River. That was the consensus among visitors to the waterfront public meeting last Thursday. At the Mission Waterfront planning update, staff set up eight easels with graphics describing the groundwork that is being laid for the area’s development. There was good public interest in the project, and in front of every easel was a group of people considering the plans. One of them was Alvin Epp, the B.C. Chamber of Commerce director who represents Mission. He was impressed with the plans Mission is putting forward. “I think it’s a huge opportunity for Mission to develop a land that will set Mission on a new trajectory,” he said. The Abbotsford businessman said Mission has a rare property in the Lower Mainland. Most communities have already developed their waterfronts. Or they don’t have the option. In Abbotsford, for example, the waterfront is all in the Agricultural Land Reserve. “It will put Mission on a stage,” he predicted. Local chamber manager Michelle Favero was equally optimistic. “It’s on its way,” she said. “It will be fabulous to see this development in Mission.” Glen Robertson, the district’s chief administrative officer, said Mission’s waterfront, which was the primary business district prior to the flood in 1948, has a lot going for it. It is south facing, allowing for sunlight; has views of Mt. Baker and the river; has access to water and sewer trunk lines; is situated near major traffic arteries including the West Coast

Express; and there is a market of 150,000 people 10 km south. “People look at our waterfront – and they’ve seen other waterfronts – and they realize our fundamentals are as good as anyone’s.” In developing its plan, Robertson said the district has looked at waterfronts in Steveston, North Vancouver, Granville Island and Fort Langley’s new Bedford Landing. He said the district will promote the area to developers, but the pace of growth will be determined by their interest, the economy among other factors. The area being considered stretches from the Mission Raceway Park to the end of Timberwood Avenue, and is 143 hectares in sizes. The district owns only 3.4 ha of that land, while 60 ha is privately owned. In 2006 the district began the development process with a concept which included a university campus, commercial, industrial and residential uses in the area. Since then, the district has been investigating potential impediments relating to infrastructure and geotechnical issues. The district has also conducted a Highway 7 bypass study, proposing a new road alignment that would allow a more direct route from the Mission Bridge the Lougheed going east, better access to the waterfront, and make more Highways Ministry land available for waterfront development. Mayor James Atebe said the turnout for the meeting showed local people have a strong interest in this issue. “There is encouragement to proceed to the next stage, which is what we are doing,” he said. The next step in the development of Mission’s waterfront is a market and feasibility study. The district will hire a development services consultant to prepare an independent market and development feasibility analysis. This study would identify the types of land uses, price potential and effective land uses and other factors. He said people should be thinking of the waterfront in terms of decades of building, and billions

in investment. “We have to have a long-term view,” said Atebe. “The most important thing is to have the correct vision.”

An overhead view shows the district’s proposal to change the eastern route from the Mission Bridge, providing better access to the waterfront, a more direct path to the Lougheed Highway eastbound, and the shaded area designates more land that would be available for development.

March 16, 2010 Open Letter to the Residents of Mission

Dear Residents, Re: March 9, 2010 Mission City Record Article On March 9, 2010 the Mission City Record ran an article on its front page regarding the sale of the former Meeker Cedar properties. In response to the March 9, 2010 article, the District of Mission wishes to clarify the following points: 1. The District of Mission has been, and is, “open for business” and development proposals. 2. The process for all rezoning/development proposals is specified in Bylaw 3612, which calls for an applicant to submit a formal application for staff and council review and public input. This process allows for due consideration of the merits of a development proposal by city council as well as providing an opportunity for the public to comment on the merits of any development in the District of Mission. 3. No application has been submitted to date for the proposed waterfront concept discussed on the March 9, 2010 front page story in the Mission City Record. 4. The Mayor and Council consider the former Meeker Cedar properties to be strategic in the waterfront area and are again pursuing purchase of these properties in what they consider to be the best interests of the community. 5. On March 5, 2010, the District of Mission made an offer to purchase the property. At this point in time, the offer has not been accepted by either the vendor or the court. 6. Prior to making the offer, the District of Mission was assured by the firm selling the property that there was no other offer being actively considered by the firm for the property.

The Mission Record wins national awards The Mission Record has been recognized as one of the top newspapers in the country in its circulation class, as winners in the Canadian Community Newspapers Association’s 2009 Better Newspaper Competition were announced earlier this week. The Record, with a circulation of 10,500, won first place for best front page in its category, earned third place for best all-round newspaper, and received a Blue Ribbon Award for general excellence. “I am thrilled for the staff at The Record,� said pub-

lisher Andrew Franklin. “They work extremely hard at publishing a quality newspaper for you, our readers. It is great to see them recognized by our peers, throughout Canada, in the newspaper industry.� More than 255 newspapers from across the country entered the competition, and there were more than 2,550 entries in all categories. The awards will be given out in Toronto during the national conference for the Canadian newspaper industry May 13-14.

Cache of weapons located A routine speeding stop led Mission RCMP to a cache of weapons at a home on Badger Avenue. Last Friday at 1:40 p.m. police stopped a vehicle at Hartley Road and Stave Lake Road for excessive speeding. The officer smelled marijuana, and the driver was apprehended and his vehicle searched. Inside the vehicle there was a Glock handgun under the driver’s seat, a pair of handcuffs, equipment for a marijua-

na grow operation and surveillance equipment. The investigation led members to execute a search warrant at the driver’s residence on Badger, where they found 21 more firearms of various types, including a loaded shotgun beside the bed. There was also a bullet proof vest, surveillance equipment and drugs. The 38-year-old accused has a prior criminal record, say police, and they have forwarded a report to Crown Coun-

sel which recommends charges of unsafe storage of firearms. They are also asking for a firearms prohibition against the man. Woman’s ring found Did you lose a ring? Police are looking for the owner of a woman’s ring found at Dr. G.H. Humes Park on March 15. A local resident found the ring and turned it in to police around 8 a.m. Monday, said Cpl. Raina

Siou. The park is located between Mission Memorial Hospital and Pleasantview Extended Care Home on Hurd Street. If you lost a ring in that area, visit the RCMP station at 7171 Oliver St. and bring a photo, receipt, or any other proof of ownership with you to claim the ring. It will be held at the police office for 90 days. After 90 days, the ring will be given to the individual who found it, and turned it in.

HST issue heats up

T

he provincial government is doing all it can to convince people that the Harmonized Sales Tax is a good thing. In his budget speech earlier this month, finance minister Colin Hansen took pains to emphasize that every penny collected from the HST will go to paying for health services. This is the first time the government made a link between the two, and not surprisingly, most people consider the statement to be meaningless. Taxpayers know that health care is expensive – the B.C. Liberals have made that point dozens of times – and they know the province has limited means at its disposal to fund it. Those means are taxes, both income and sales; Medical Services Plan premiums; and federal transfer payments. Earlier this week, Dr. Jack Mintz of the University of Calgary visited B.C. to release a study he had done on the impact of the HST. He said it would create 113,000 jobs over the next 10 years, because it would free up business capital to make investments. This of course is the argument the government has been making since last July, when it announced the HST was coming to B.C. The business community, with a few exceptions, has also endorsed this reasoning. Business leaders say with reduced costs, they will be able to lower prices and expand their businesses. All of these pro-HST arguments are being made as former premier Bill Vander Zalm embarks on a campaign to have enough people sign a petition that would force the provincial government to put the HST to a province-wide vote. The campaign formally begins on April 6. And the NDP is ramping up, approaching Liberal MLAs in politically “vulnerable” ridings and urging them to vote against the bill that would enact the HST. Meanwhile, the public’s anger at the HST has not diminished, because most consumers feel they will be paying more for no good purpose. The next few months will prove very interesting, as both the pro-HST and anti-HST rhetoric heats up. – Black Press

The Falconization of health care

O

pposition critics frequently accuse Premier Gordon Campbell of seizing on one big issue after another, then dropping them and moving on. This is suggested about climate change, aboriginal reconciliation, and of course health care, the subject of Campbell’s 2006 tour of mixed private and public models in Europe and Scandinavia. Health Minister Kevin Falcon has now taken flight to show that the health care project is very much alive. He began last week by speculating about B.C. facilities becoming “the Mayo Clinic of the North,” offering surgical services to foreign patients on evenings and weekends. This idea first got traction To last summer, when Campbell pitched Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall on the idea of sending Prairie patients to Vancouver to use new specialty hip and knee replacement units. Saskatchewan eventually balked at the idea of paying a premium for faster service, and now Falcon cites the thousands of U.S. patients who shop the world for health care. B.C.’s private clinic heavyweights, Dr. Brian Day of Cambie Surgery Centre and Dr. Mark Godley of False Creek Surgery Centre, are naturally enthu-

siastic. This suggests that private surgery providers expect a bigger role in specialized units like the joint replacement project at UBC and Richmond hospitals. There are few details on this so far. But Falcon has also moved on a more urgent front, announcing a shakeup of the B.C. Ambulance Service as its imposed contract with paramedics is set to run out at the end of March. The ambulance service is being transferred to the Provincial Health Services Authority, which runs B.C. Children’s Hospital and other province-wide services. It sounds like a bureaucratic shuffle, but Falcon makes it clear the long and futile battle with the paramedics’ union is m leading to big changes. “There’s a possibility that we can expand the role of firefighters [in paramedic service], there are options to use private services where that makes sense sometimes in small communities, so all those options will be available to us,” he said. Falcon also confirmed that the move is designed to expand an experiment in the Kootenays, so small towns can maintain ambulance service by employing part-time paramedics at a local care home so they can make a living.

The plight of rural paramedics on call for $2 an hour was the rallying cry of NDP politicians before last year’s long and bitter strike. But rural B.C. was soon neglected by the paramedics’ union, which demanded huge wage hikes for city paramedics as the recession hit, pulled illegal strike actions, defaced ambulances and finally tried to disrupt the Olympics. Last week the government rejected the union’s latest erratic demand, to extend the existing contract terms to set up two more years of senseless fighting. I’ve written previously about the inflation of city paramedic overtime, which shows how much this union really cares about the cash-starved rural areas. It is the worst performance by a B.C. government union so far this century, and its conflict-addicted leadership is about to pay the price in contracting out and its own eventual break-up. Labour Minister Murray Coell has until the end of the month to determine the details of this new structure, and how it will affect bargaining. Judging by the latest seething of the union leadership, there is no chance of cooperation here, and another contract may have to be imposed while the mess is untangled. The growth and greying of B.C.’s population are upon us, and old government monopoly service delivery models are not going to be able to handle it. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

YOUR VIEWS

Fisheries to blame for Hatzic degradation: MLA Editor, The Record; DFO habitat engineer Al Johnson is correct when he says there was some cleaning of the debris in Legace Creek allowed by DFO in 2005. Unfortunately, it was only permitted in part of the creek, and no dredging was permitted in the lower region of the creek, as it flows into Hatzic Lake. Those of us who worked on this project could see that partial dredging of the creek without removing the huge silt bottleneck at Hatzic Lake would bring very temporary relief at best. There are areas of the creek where no work at all was allowed. Now erosion has taken significant

property, and worse has undermined trees, which has exacerbated the problem. Since the mid 1990s the unofficial moratorium on gravel removal from creeks, streams and the Fraser River has been the topic of discussion literally hundreds of times at the Fraser Valley Regional District and at municipal council tables throughout the Valley. When there was finally some agreement for removing gravel from the Fraser, Fisheries officers routinely have slowed the bureaucratic permit process to the point that the narrow Fisheries window was missed in several years, resulting in no

”

The bureaucracy surrounding any work in a creek or stream has become so prohibitively expensive... – MLA Randy Hawes

gravel removed from the river. The bureaucracy surrounding any work in a creek or stream has become so prohibitively expensive that taxpayers cannot afford a meaningful program of stream maintenance. Mr. Johnson says don’t blame Fisheries for the problems in Hatzic Lake.

Who else then Mr. Johnson? Nearly every elected official in the Fraser Valley knows about the obstructive and threatening behaviour of Fisheries officials. Those who have watched the degradation of fish spawning grounds through the siltation of creeks and streams know it is your policies that

have brought about the problem. Perhaps you forget that not that many years ago Doug Anderson used to regularly dredge Legace and other creeks in Hatzic Prairie, and these were major spawning grounds. Hatzic Lake was a wonderful recreational area and salmon were abundant in the creeks and streams. Now the few salmon that make it through to spawn often wind up in flooded fields and much of Hatzic Lake is a major sand bar. We all recognize the source of the gravel and silt in the creeks, but the restrictions on removal of that material is now the problem and common

sense and a withdrawal of Fisheries bureaucracy would be a good start to a

Cal Crawford The “GO TO” Realtor with over 30 years of experience.

District staff driving calendar change was to change, what we would like to see, thus obligating us to give an answer. It felt like the old joke: “Have you quit kicking your dog yet?” To answer either yes or no implies you kick your dog. By answering we were implying that change is desired. I always find the presentations at these forums vague, merely implying that changes might be made. If the suggested models had been presented at the first forum, you would have seen a significantly higher turnout at the second. I find District Parent Advisory Council president Dawn Dixon’s comments throughout the article questionable, and hope that she has been taken out of context. As to the school district having done its due diligence, let’s say they minimally meet expectations. To quote from the Vision 2020 paper: Boards of Education are elected to improve student achievement. They do it by engaging their com-

munities in building and maintaining a school system that reflects local priorities, values and expectations. It was clear at all three meetings what the priorities, values and expectations of the majority are: The only acceptable calendar presented was the current calendar.

The dilemma for the trustees is this: Do they vote in line with what the majority has told them they want? Or do they vote in line with what the district staff appears to endorse? I do not challenge our board and district staff’s desire to see all Mission students be more suc-

cessful, but I question the notion that changing our calendar is the best way to achieve this. Our district needs to get down to the basics of how our children are taught and the curriculums used, before we reconstruct the school year. Cyndie Buker Mission

Editor, The Record; Re: Year-round schooling irks parents, March 4 Here we go again. For several years now, changing the school calendar has been presented by our school district’s staff. The justification is always improved achievement, especially for vulnerable students. Prof. Carolyn Shields’ paper from 2000 is the only research cited to back this up. However, there is further and more recent research which indicates that any improved achievement is often not significant, and our district’s own experiment with a balanced calendar at Albert McMahon Elementary failed. The resurgence of this issue comes from the Vision 2020 paper that district staff presented to the board of education in September. I recognized that changes to the calendar might be an issue, and attended both forums on education last fall. At the forums we were asked to discuss what we liked and didn’t like about the current calendar, and if that calendar

Heating costs on the rise

Mission firefighters contain a blaze at an abandoned house on Seventh Avenue on Sunday. BOB FRIESEN PHOTO

Fire set in abandoned house An abandoned house on Seventh Avenue burned on Sunday evening in a fire that was likely deliberately set, says Fire Chief Ian Fitzpatrick. The power and utilities to the boarded-up house at 32473 Seventh Ave. had been cut off. When firefighters arrived on scene at approximately 6:30 p.m. smoke was pouring from the house, and the boards that had covered the back door had been pulled off.

Fitzpatrick said firefighters determined nobody was inside the house, and then because the fire was already intense, they fought a defensive blaze that protected surrounding properties, but did not endanger firefighters. He said the cause has not been determined. “But any time you have a vacant house it’s subject to having people break into it – kids, or the homeless.”

Most homes heated by natural gas will pay an estimated six per cent more on their Terasen Gas bills starting April 1. Regulators approved the request to increase the utility’s natural gas commodity rate by 13 per cent. Terasen says the rate increase of $0.66 per gigajoule works out to around six per cent more on the full household bill, or about $49 to $62 more per year. The decision was released Monday by the B.C. Utilities Commission. The company said natural gas prices are up because of cold weather in much of North America and a recovering economy. Terasen’s commodity gas rate fell 35 per cent in 2009 and is still relatively low compared to the last five years.

Fire pits are a hot issue at the Mission council table. Mission council revisited the contentious issue after many public complaints. Do fire pits need to be registered more than once, asked Coun. Paul Horn, who began the discussion.

In previous years, when fire pits were registered, they were lifelong permits, explained Fire Chief Ian Fitzpatrick. But last year the Mission Fire/Rescue Service registered approximately 200 fire pits at a cost of $20, for a one-year registration. “We had 1,500 permits, and some had gone by the wayside. We needed to look at ways to be more efficient and safety conscious,” he said.

He explained that when someone registers for a permit, they are educated on fire safety matters. “People don’t mind paying a fee one time, because they know we have to process the application, but do they need to do it every year?” asked Mayor James Atebe. Coun. Heather Stewart noted the $20 fee is used for enforcement. Coun. Jenny Stevens said creating

unpopular bylaws will create public opposition, and people will simply not register their fire pits. Coun. Mike Scudder strongly opposed the fee, and was ready to rescind it this week, but agreed to wait for the fire chief’s report into the rationale before taking any action. Fitzpatrick promise to have the report ready for the next committee of the whole meeting in April.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 2010

Status changes affect thousands BY

MEAGHAN MCBRIDE

Mission Record

Upcoming changes to the Indian Act could see as many as 45,000 people recognized as status Indians in the eyes of the law. These proposed changes are the result of a 25-year battle by Sharon McIvor. In 2009 McIvor, who married a nonaboriginal man, successfully argued in court that the Indian Act was gender biased, because it treated the grandchildren of women who married non-aboriginal men differently than the grandchildren of men who married non-aboriginal

women. The changes would mean the grandchildren of women who married non-aboriginal men would be able to claim status. Members of Mission’s aboriginal community say this change is long overdue. John Diablo, a board member and volunteer at the Mission Friendship Centre (MFC), has seen first-hand the affects of this biased legislation. “I have sisters and cousins who have lost everything. They lost their land, their rights, everything. It’s about time.� Although Diablo is pleased the changes are coming about, he still feels an official apol-

ogy should be offered by the federal government. “They should be compensated. The government thinks they can control us, but they can’t,� he said. “It’s about time women get their rights back.� Aboriginal communities have long struggled to maintain their culture and heritage, said Amanda Welti, the executive director of the MFC. She said it is only in recent years that aboriginal organizations have gained enough strength and momentum to be taken seriously. “Certainly historically there’s been a loss of language... and a

tearing apart of families,� said Welti. “It’s been pretty devastating.� Still, community leaders are hoping that these changes mean they will be able to bring more of their children and grandchildren back to their cultural traditions and roots. While the financial implications of the changes are not yet known, those at the MFC aren’t worried about it. “We already serve those who self-identify as aboriginal, as well as people who aren’t aboriginal,� said Welti. “It certainly won’t be a challenge for us.�

About 270 Telus customers in rural Mission had their service cut by cable theft in the early morning hours on Friday. Thieves cut and stole a 60-metre length of copper cable off poles along the 11400 block of Dewdney Trunk Road. In Maple Ridge, customers lost service when a cable was cut at Dewdney Trunk Road and 256th. “It looks like they climbed up the poles and cut (cables),”

said Telus spokesman Shawn Hall, explaining that the cable is a little larger in diameter than a toonie. “They might get a few hundred bucks for it, but it costs us $50,000 and disrupts customers,” he said, adding it could also cause a tragedy. “It’s only a matter of time before someone dials 911 and doesn’t get through because the service has been cut by

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 2010

Student Transitional housing project moves forward retention rates improve at UFV BY MEAGHAN MCBRIDE Mission Record

B.C. Housing is hoping to have construction on the new transitional housing unit on Grand Street completed by the end of May. The building, which will include up to 47 housing units and a range of support services, was purchased by the province in January 2009. B.C. Housing has received a number of proposals

from agencies willing to manage the facility, and intends to have one selected when construction is finished. A public information session will be held, most likely in early summer. Rosemary Fromson, homeless outreach coordinator at Mission Community Services, knows there is a great need for long-term transitional housing in Mission. “Between August to the end of February this year,

we took in 517 people,” said Fromson. Transitional housing is described as the “next stage of housing,” after someone leaves an emergency shelter or other temporary accommodations, but before they have independent housing. This type of property makes it easier for homeless people to move on with their lives, said Fromson. The goal is for them to find their own place of residence, making this project vital for long-term success in reducing homelessness in the Fraser Valley.

BY MEAGHAN MCBRIDE Mission Record

When administrators at the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) realized they were losing 54 per cent of first-year students every year, they knew they had to do something. Several years of data revealed the majority of students didn’t leave to attend other schools, as many assumed, but left because they were frustrated with their academics or were unable to continue due to their financial situation. Recognizing many of their students were older and working full- or part-time jobs in order to cover the cost of their education, UFV administrators set about creating more evening, weekend and online courses. As well, UFV created supported learning groups for first year students. After a year of working in these groups administrators are noticing an increase in grade point averages and overall confidence in students. While Jay Mitchell, a representative of the UFV Student Union Society (SUS) is pleased that the university is taking steps to make education more accessible to working students, he feels the government needs to do more to make post-secondary education economically feasible for students. “When the recession hit a lot of people returned to school to try and get a better job,” said Mitchell. “But they’ll be leaving with massive debt. It’s really hard to work for survival and pay for school. At this point it’s somewhat exclusive – work or school.” Robert Buchan, vicepresident of external relations at UFV, is hopeful these measures will increase retention rates, and adds UFV will be creating more bursaries and grants for students who are struggling financially.

waste items to the depot. The depot can be reached at 604-8143555. Information on waste reduction, disposal bans, composting and additional recycling opportunities can be found in the 2010 curbside collection calendar, available at City Hall and the Recycling Depot, as well as on the district’s website at www.mission.ca/ Page33.aspx.

PAY IT

With additional waste disposal bans in place, the Mission Recycling Depot has extended opening hours to accommodate Sunday drop-offs. Residents may drop off recyclables for free any day of the week between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. The Recycling Depot is located at 7229 Mershon Street, across from the West Coast Express overflow parking lot. Acceptable items include all bluebag recyclables, including dry paper, cardboard, food-related glass jars and bottles, rigid household plastic containers with plastic codes 1, 2 and 5, metal food cans and lids, clean tin foil and aluminum take-out trays. The depot also accepts scrap metal items, including fencing, siding and appliances, but excluding fridges and freezers due to the need for Freon removal. In addition, residents may drop off car batteries, fluorescent light tubes and select household hazardous products, such as paint, paint thinner, domestic pesticides and old gasoline. Please visit www. productcare.org or call 1-800-667-4321 for details and limits before taking any household hazardous

Please consider that landfill space is a critical community asset and needs to be retained for true garbage – not compostables or recyclables. PLEASE take advantage of Mission’s excellent recycling and composting services.

Waste audits continue to show

Set out curbside garbage only on collection day Setting out garbage in bins only on the day of collection became mandatory on June 1st, 2009. This change in curbside collection rules was necessary, in order to reduce animal interference and reduce litter on Mission’s streets. With bear season coming early this year, please ensure that your garbage is not left at the curb overnight, but is set out by 8 a.m. only on your scheduled collection day. Bears that become accustomed to foraging on garbage not only pose a threat to your entire neighbourhood, but may have to be destroyed. Bins may not exceed 80 litres in volume and must feature lids. Extra garbage featuring

an extra-garbage sticker may still be set out in just a bag, however, only on the morning of collection. Regular garbage not contained in bins or set out late may not be collected.

Hillstompers host annual spring run The Mission Hillstomper Running club will be hosting the Seventh annual Spring Ahead Run on Sunday, April 11 this year. The format, race routes and start of the races will not be the same as previous years. The start and finish will be at Albert McMahon School on the corner of Cherry and Cedar streets, and the route will not include the hills on Ferndale Avenue. Over the past number of years the race organizers have heard numerous runners complain about that section of the route, and it is now eliminated. For 2010 the Spring Ahead will comprise both a K5 and 10K run over

The 5K course for the 7th annual Spring Ahead Run, put on by the Mission Hillstompers.

Cold front kills lake fishing Someone threw the switch on our Lower Mainland lake fishing, and shifted things into reverse. Once the present cold front moves off we can expect spring fishing to return; watch your barometer.

Je For dry (floating) fly fishing on sunny afternoons, try: Tom Thumb, Lady McConnel, Irresistible, Renegade, Black Gnat, Griffith Gnat, Royal Coachman, or Elk Hair Caddis. Kokanee are on the bite as well, try: Red Abbis,

Red Spratley, Bloodworm, Royal Coachman, San Juan Worm, or red Micro Leach. The Fraser River back waters and sloughs are fishing well for cutthroat, rainbow, and dolly varden. For cutthroat try: Flesh Fly, Eggo, Egg & Eye Alevin, Rolled Muddler, Mickey Finn, Tied Down Minnow, Professor, Lioness, Stone Nymph, Coachman, Zulu, Chez Nymph, ff or Souboo. For rainbow try the above along with red Spratley, red Carey, Kaufmann Stone, Royal Coachman or Black Gnat.

Mission Community Services (MCS) is anticipating a large turnout for their premier of Building of Mission: Stories of Immigrants and First Nations from Past to Present. Building of Mission is based on a series of interviews with immigrants from Asian and Europe and members of Mission’s aboriginal community. The interviews cover a range of topics, from how people came to Mission, their contributions to building the community, and reflections on the challenges faced by immigrant Mission residents today. The entire film was produced and filmed in Mission, and Kusum Soni, project coordinator, says it will be another great tool to address racism and multiculturalism in Mission. “We must address these

issues collectively,” said Soni, who is the multiculturalism program coordinator for MSC. “Collectively we can solve, or at least create awareness, around these issues.” Suzanne Vermeer, a program manager at MCS, mod-

erated one of the interview sessions and feels those who watch the show will see a good cross-section of Mission’s history. “It shows a rich history that many people are not aware of, and [it’s] a great connection to the present day

Spectacular performances at the Clarke Theatre There is a spectacular lineup of performances coming up at the Clarke Theatre over the next week, beginning tomorrow night (March 19) with Saltwater Moon. This David French play is the final offering from the Vancouver Arts Club Theatre this season. Saltwater Moon is a timeless love story that unfolds on a moonlit porch in Coley’s Point in 1926. Young Jacob Mercer (Charlie Carrick) has returned home to Newfoundland to win back the heart of his soul mate, Mary (Abby Creek), but can he overcome the forces that have kept them apart? Will love blossom by the light of a saltwater moon? This humourous, passionate, lyrical love story has earned numerous awards, including the Chalmers Award for best play. The are still tickets available, and will be sold at the door at 7 p.m. The show begins at 8 p.m. For tickets call the Clarke Theatre at 604-820-3961. Q The theatre comes alive with music on March 23 with the music of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and the gang from Sun Records, This is the story of the Mem-

phis-based record company. It is set to the music of the times. The show has been receiving rave reviews from throughout the United States and Canada. Tickets are still available at Ticketmaster and will also be available at the door on the night of the show. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Q On March 24, Sursaut Danse from Quebec will be in Mission with At Nightfall, a stunning piece of production and dance. This is the story of Auguste, a shoemaker, who knows nothing of holidays. He knows little about life outside his work and is also afraid. He discovers the water forest where the world of the tiny people unfolds before him and their nocturnal dances amaze him. Sursaut Dance is well known for its joyful and touching creations and Nightfall is suitable for all ages, especially the young and the young at heart. Tickets are on sale at Jazz Ma Tazz in Abbotsford and are available at the door. The Clarke Theatre is located at 33700 Prentis Ave. For more information about any of these events call 604-820-3961.

community,” said Vermeer. Both Soni and Vermeer hope viewers will gain a new perspective on their community, and that it will help nourish and enrich Mission’s already strong multicultural community. “If only a few [people] go

away with a positive attitude it’s a success... what really matters is how significantly people are changed,” said Soni. Over the past six months Soni worked with the Mission Library, Lifetime Learning Centre Society and Centre for Indo-Candian Studies at the University of the Fraser Valley to develop this project. She believes this is a chance to preserve something for future generations. “We really wanted to set some examples for the youth,” said Soni. “After 10 or 15 years they’ll be able to look back and see the mannerisms of Mission in 2010.” Building of Mission will premier March 22 at 5:30 p.m. at the Mission Library, 33247 Second Ave. Multicultural snacks and photos of the production will follow. For more about the film and other anti-racism programming please contact Soni at 604-814-3957.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 2010

PLANT THE SEEDS OF GOODNESS Most people have good hearts and would like to see the world transformed into one where love and compassion are the dominant motives, but unfortunately, the world isn’t so easily transformed. Hatred, violence and pugnacity are deeply seated in the human psyche, and the evildoing which flows from these sources is strongly resistant to change. So, how might we work to transform the world into a better place? There are many ways to make the world better. Gandhi suggested that “We must become the change we want to see in this world.” Jesus counseled us to “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” And, the law of karma claims that if we treat others well, our good deeds will return to us. Surely, there is some simple, yet profound wisdom in all of this. The quiet, unassuming example of a good person is often more effective at inducing change than the self-righteous moralist on their soapbox. Perhaps the attempt to transform the world into a better place is more like planting a seed than inducing a wholesale change of heart. And although we don’t know which of our kind words or actions will take root and grow in someone else’s heart, we should keep on planting those seeds and watering them with the hope that they will grow.

Reel on the River shows final film on March 29 Mission Veterinary Hospital is pleased to welcome Dr. Chris Foell to our team! DR. CHRIS FOELL graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 1985. She developed extensive experience in medicine and surgery at a high technology multi-doctor practice in BC, followed by becoming a practice owner in Abbotsford for 13 years. Dr. Foell particularly enjoys the challenges of internal medicine, as well as cardiology, geriatric medicine, dermatology, surgery and dentistry. She also has experience with many exotic pets. Dr. Foell remembers always wanting to be a veterinarian. She enjoys mentoring students and exposing them to the world of a veterinarian, a world in which science, medicine and the love of animals blend together. Away from her life as a veterinarian, Dr. Foell enjoys spending time “hanging out” with her family, which currently includes her husband, 2 children, 3 stepchildren, “Buddy” the Dalmatian, “Max” the cat and “Corny” the mouse. She also loves hiking, canoeing, backpacking, windsurfing and outdoor photography. Dr. Foell also serves on the Board of the Fraser Valley Brain Injury Association.

The final film the latest Reel on the River series will play on March 29 at SilverCity. A Shine of Rainbows is set in a small village on wind-swept Corrie Island, just off the coast of Ireland. It is a heartwarming story of a young boy’s struggle to find acceptance in his new adoptive home. His journey to self-discovery proves there is a little magic in all of us if only we take the time to find it. The movie stars Aidan Quinn as Alec and Connie Nielson as Maire. The show is based on a novel by Lillian Beckwith. Reel On The River is a local not-for-profit group committed to bringing Canadian, foreign and independent films which might not normally be shown in Mission. All the films are open to the public and tickets are available at the door for $10. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. Films for Reel on the River are provided by Film Circuit and the Toronto International Film Festival. For information email reelontheriver@yahoo.ca.

Gordon has defied the odds for the past 25 years, enjoying life to the full despite a pacemaker and diabetes. We would have loved to have him with us longer but he died as he would have liked, tinkering on his truck and talking with one of his sons on the speaker phone while his devoted wife fixed lunch in the kitchen. He was so happy to have visited over the past couple of weeks all of his great grandchildren, grandchildren, and most of his children and knew that all is well with all of his loved ones. Gordon is predeceased by his first wife of 60 years, Amy, and his beloved grandson, William. Gordon is survived by his loving wife, Leonora, and his 5 children: Lois (Dale), Bruce (Margaret), Alan (Patsy), Glen (Kathy) and Kate. Gordon is survived also by his 6 grandchildren: Barbara (David), Colin (Iva), Tim, Leah, Jachin, and Eric, and 4 great-grandchildren: Jane, Cole, Roxanna, and Oliver. Gordon felt blessed to have another well-loved family that survives him: his grown step-children Maria, Javier, Laura, Manuel, Nora and their families. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 20, 2010 at 10 a.m. at Henderson’s Fraser Valley Funeral Home at 34537 Marshall Road, Abbotsford, BC
