Missing person case turned over to IHIT investigators BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

The search for 18-yearold Rachel Pernosky was called off Wednedsay after her body was found. The case has now been turned over to homicide investigators. Police were expected to issue an update Wednesday after The Record’s press deadline. “I can confirm the matter has been turned over to the

Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT),” said Mission RCMP Insp. Richard Konarski, who declined to provide further information. Please visit www.missioncityrecord.com for the most current details. Pernosky was last seen around 12:30 a.m. on Saturday at her home in the 7700 block of Kite Street. A small corner of Lougheed Highway and Hurd Street was cordoned

off and the Mission landfill was closed for several

hours Monday morning as the police investigation continued. Volunteers cleaning up the northeast corner of the highway on Sunday had picked up some clothing and brought it to the landfill, according to police. It was later determined the clothing matched a description provided by the family. The landfill was reopened before noon after police located the items

and were able to determine the clothing found was not related to the case. Mission Search and Rescue volunteers scoured Pernosky’s neighbourhood for signs of the missing teen Monday, and family and friends searched every day, but didn’t find any clues. According to a social media post from Pernosky’s sister, Brittany, “her phone was left at home, and music was still playing.”

$1M a year to replace mains BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

The municipality will be replacing about 10 kilometres of “very poor” condition water mains over the next nine years at an estimated cost of $1 million annually. The lines in question are made of asbestos cement (AC) and were installed between 1951 and 1983 throughout the district. Pipes which have lost more than 45 per cent of their wall thickness are considered very poor. Work will begin in about a month in the Hatzic area where the AC mains have lost more than 67 per cent of wall thickness. The old lines will be replaced with pipes made of either ductile iron (DI) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which should last 75-100 years, said Rick Bomhof, Mission’s director of engineering and public works. The work could be completed in a month, and there will be minimum impact to residents in the area, according to Bomhof. The new pipes will be laid beside the existing ones and water flow will be disrupted when the new connection is made. Notices will be sent out when service will be interrupted. Half of the work will be done by the district and

A watermain made of asbestos cement was broken along the Lougheed Highway near the Visitor Information Centre earlier this year. Mission’s director of engineering and public works, Rick Bomhof, says more lines could have the same fate if Mission doesn’t become more proactive in replacing degraded AC watermains. SUBMITTED PHOTO

the other half will be contracted out to determine the most efficient and cost-effective method. AC mains are a safe way to transport water

and not a threat to public health in normal use, however, it can be hazardous when the asbestos fibres are airborne, explained Bomhof.

“The use of AC pipes has been discontinued in North America in the early 1980s mainly because they are difficult to repair and may cause

potential health concerns on worker safety,” states a report to council. AC pipes are also vulnerable to leaks, explained Bomhof. They can be brittle and if it’s not properly imbedded in sand, any vibration can cause cracks or breaks. Bomhof noted there have been breaks along the Lougheed close by the train tracks. Last year the district had about 23.5 km of older AC water mains surveyed for leaks and structural integrity. About 45 per cent of those tested were in very poor condition, and another 38 per cent (8.2 km) were in “poor condition,” meaning 30 to 45 per cent of the wall thickness had been compromised. The rest of the pipes have minor or moderate degradation. The district owns about 174 kilometres of water mains, most of which is DI (121 km). About 44 km are AC pipes. The condition of the AC pipes was tested with sensors using acousticbased technology, which measures the time it takes the signal to travel from one end to the other. Funding for the project will come from the water capital reserve, and council has agreed to increase that fund from $300,000 to $1 million annually until 2021.

Cell tower decision delayed BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Mission council has delayed a decision to allow a cell phone tower at the corner of Shook Road and Lougheed Highway until the applicant can address concerns. Mary Roadhouse and Catherine Cloutier presented council

with a petition containing 912 signatures opposing the tower. Both women have lived in Hatzic for more than 40 years and spoke of the wildlife concerns, and the dangers they say the electromagnetic radiation from the tower can have on humans, especially young children. Scott Telecom Services’ Van-

essa Cartwright, who put in the application, requested a deferral in order to respond to residents’ questions. Cartwright explained Wind Mobile would be the anchor tenant, but the tower could accommodate four carriers. She noted the new tower would address the cell coverage gap. Currently, there is no Wind mo-

bile coverage in the Hatzic area. The tower would be 57.9 metres tall and would not require any lighting. Cartwright noted she would work with the district to landscape around the tower and the structure can be painted any colour the district wants. The issue is expected to be back in front of council April 15.

Patient Testimonial

Prior to being a patient with Dr’s Surdhar and Lui, I’d have described myself as an “apprehensive” patient. The one that wishes the upcoming circled date on the calendar was past. After a few procedures with the dentists at Bridgeview Dental I can happily say that I no longer dread the upcoming appointments and look forward to seeing the friendly dental team and having my dental work done. Even a recent extraction and implant that followed was without discomfort. I feel confident in the treatment they provide me knowing they keep up with what’s new in the dental field with their continuing education and study club participation. Heather

Abby councillor seeks seat for BC Liberals BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

An Abbotsford councillor wants to parlay his 30 years of municipal service into a job representing a larger audience the May 14 election. Simon Gibson will be running under the BC Liberal banner in the Abbotsford-Mission riding, and the long-serving politician will be opening his Mission campaign office March 23 at 1:30 p.m. Gibson grew up on Vancouver Island, and moved to Abbotsford in the mid-1970s. He was first elected to Abbotsford council in 1979, and has served continuously since then, except for one year. The married father of two adult children has been teaching business at the University of the Fraser Valley for 13 years, and previously taught professional communications at Trinity Western

University in Langley. Before teaching, he worked for Finning Tractor and Surrey Metro Savings. “I felt my experience in elected office would benefit the residents of our community,” said Gibson on his motivation to run. “I think I would be a strong representative in the legislature. I’m a proven hard worker and I’m a good listener.” Gibson said the BC Liberals have provided

strong, financially prudent leadership. “While I’m a believer that government has to provide a mix of social services,” there must be a strong economy in place to pay for those programs, he noted. “The NDP doesn’t have a monopoly on social conscience.” Gibson has been spending two days per week in Mission since he won the riding nomination in January, and says the response he’s gotten has been “overwhelmingly positive.” The Mission campaign office will be located at the corner of Horne Street and North Railway Avenue, across from the Petro-Canada station. Gibson can be reached via e-mail (simongibson@shaw.ca), on his website (simongibson. ca), by phone (604-778549-0647) and you can follow him on Twitter (simonformla).

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

Crossing partisan line

The report by deputy minister John Dyble into the conduct of government staffers confirms the worst — a number of people on the public payroll were busy doing Liberal Party business, and ignoring clear government directives not to do so. Whether this was to do with ethnic outreach or swing voters is irrelevant. What is relevant is that there was no clear demarcation between partisan and government work, and people at a high level in the premier’s office knew and approved of this. If people want to engage in partisan work and are on the government payroll, they have a right to so — on their time off. While they are working for the government on projects like ethnic outreach, those projects need to be for government purposes. While the NDP initially raised this serious case of the blurring of partisan and government roles, the party does not have completely clean hands. It has since come out that four-time NDP candidate Gabriel Yiu has been on the payroll of the NDP caucus — which gets its funds from taxpayers. While Yiu did not mix government and party work (his party is in opposition), and the former legislative comptroller signed off on NDP caucus members using part of their constituency funds to pay Yiu, this looks more like a situation where the party made a job for him, at taxpayers’ expense, while waiting for the next election. The report from Dyble will do little to restore public confidence in the Christy Clark government, particularly as these actions were taking place within her office, and in the run-up to the election. However, the fact that the NDP has paid former candidates to do political work with tax dollars is also troubling. It all makes it that much harder for voters to decide which candidate and party to choose when they cast their ballots. At the moment, “none of the above” is not on the ballot. - Langley Times

Both parties have betrayed us T

here was some public business conducted in the final frantic days of the B.C. legislature session last week, but you likely wouldn’t have heard much about it. Premier Christy Clark’s skimpy governing agenda was overshadowed by the delivery of an internal investigation report into her government’s ethnic outreach program. A review by four deputy ministers detailed what reporters already knew from a memo and meeting notes leaked to the NDP. The plan started in the premier’s office, led by Clark’s deputy chief of staff, who resigned once it was made public. A BC Liberal Party employee attended the first meeting, expressly intended to organize events to impress immigrant communities, then harvest the goodwill in the form of contact lists for the coming election campaign. After 10,000 e-mails were collected and 27 interviews conducted, they revealed a few significant details. Former multiculturalism minister John Yap knew or

should have known that the scheme was being kept secret because it was an inappropriate use of government resources. He won’t be back in cabinet, although Clark said he intends to run for re-election in Richmond-Steveston. Yap’s executive assistant resigned when the report came out, admitting he helped cover the tracks of political meddling in the hiring of three outreach contractors with sufficient loyalty to the party. Clark insists she knew nothing of this plan. She tabled the investigation report, and then announced To that the BC Liberal Party had written a $70,000 cheque to the government to cover the estimated cost of the inappropriate political work done by non-political staff. Here’s the part taxpayers may not fully appreciate. There are authorized political staffers all over the legislature, in the premier’s office, the opposition leader’s office

and two teams of caucus employees who spend much of their time digging up dirt on the other party. All are paid by you and me. A line is crossed only when a non-political employee such as a ministry communications director acts on behalf of the party. The main offender in that capacity was one Brian Bonney, whose records suggested he spent half of his time on party work. He quit in February, before the plan was leaked, and the party paid back half of his salary for the 18 months he was on the public payroll. m NDP outrage over this was blunted by another leaked document. This one was from a never-released 2010 report by Auditor General John Doyle, which condemned a five-year program of skimming money from NDP constituency office budgets all over the province and using it for political work. In a nice bit of symmetry, much of the more than

uestion of the Week:

Have you used the restorative resolutions process before?

$400,000 was spent to put three-time candidate Gabriel Yiu on the NDP caucus payroll. In fact, it was the NDP-Yiu operation that inspired a BC Liberal copycat plan. The NDP quietly stopped the budget skimming after Doyle pointed out the blindingly obvious, which is that constituency funds are to serve constituents and are not to be diverted to political organizing. It was kept under wraps by the secretive Legislative Assembly Management Committee. This is the BC Liberal-NDP co-managed trough of undocumented MLA expenses and other questionable payments that Doyle has only recently dragged into the light. Both of these schemes have the same stink. Both are intentional abuse of taxpayers’ money for the political gain of the dominant parties. There is no moral high ground for either of them.

Editor, The Record: An open letter to ICBC: Please make up your minds. Are B.C. seniors the best drivers with the fewest and least serious driving incidents, or are they not? I am sure the statistics will clearly show that seniors are the least likely to be involved in accidents compared to all other drivers. If so, then why not call off all the driving tests for seniors, and instead, put your time and effort into improving the driving habits of the 30-50-yearold drivers who, most of the time, drive well over the speed limits and are involved in the most accidents. Get real, ICBC, and let the elderly drivers continue to drive carefully until their lifespans end of natural causes in the course of the next few years. Robert T. Callahan Mission

business and 10 weddings have already been booked. While Mayor Ted Adlem and Councillor Tony Luck wanted to proceed to a public hearing, the rest of council had other views. Coun. Dave Hensman was absent from the meeting. Here, we have a project that was started in 2006; has involved building without permits, conduct of business without licenses, then in 2013, they come in for a rezoning, said Coun. Jenny Stevens. “This is a concept which I would find interesting and could be good for Mission if any attempt had been made to follow legal requirements in due

process. If we allow this to happen, we may as well tear up every zoning bylaw we have and ignore the Official Community Plan,” she added. Mountain Falls Retreat manager Maria Silva, who gave a brief presentation to council about the business vision earlier in the evening, said “there are consequences to not following the rules.” Kaldis agreed. “We have to accept our punishment. We have to work hard to explain ourselves.” While the business will not be expanding, Kaldis said they will focus on their businesses and what they can do on the land, including plans to build a spice and herb garden. “And we’ll keep building relationships with the community,” said Silva.

The provincial government is granting just over $90,000 in traffic fines to the District of Mission. The traffic fine revenue sharing program has been active since 2009, and benefits communities that pay police enforcement costs. The grants come from ticket fines and court-imposed fines on violation tickets, and the amount of money each municipality receives is based on its contribution to total community policing costs. “The decision a number of years ago to return 100 per cent of net traffic fine revenue to local governments was the right thing to do,” said Maple RidgeMission MLA Marc Dalton. “This is an important contribution to help reduce policing costs in Mission.”

NDP defends partisan ‘kickback’ fund BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

The B.C. NDP collected more than $500,000 from constituency office budgets starting in 2005, using the money for purposes that Auditor General John Doyle described as inappropriate and inadequately documented. Documents from a draft internal audit of

B.C. legislature finances surfaced this week. They describe a practice of NDP constituency offices paying $202 per month each into a “centralized fund” that was used to hire three-time NDP candidate Gabriel Yiu on contracts to work for the NDP caucus. B.C. Liberal cabinet minister Bill Bennett said Premier Christy Clark has apologized

for a plan that suggested using government resources to help the party, and the NDP should do the same for this. “This is a kickback scheme,” Bennett said. “This is a scheme that uses money that’s intended for constituency offices around this province ... your NDP MLA thought that it was OK to send back $200 a month to the caucus for politically partisan reasons, rather than using that money to look after your constituents.” NDP caucus chair Shane Simpson rejected suggestions that the centralized fund was a violation of the rules, noting that it was approved by the legislature’s in-house accountant at the time. The legislature’s former comptroller general was fired last year after a broader audit by Doyle revealed MLAs’ personal expenses were being See FUNDS Page 11

Fraser sockeye watchers see stock rebuilding BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Salmon watchers are hoping this is the year the troubled Fraser River sockeye run turns the corner on its disastrous collapse four years ago. If returns come in as forecast, nearly 4.8 million sockeye will make their way up the Fraser this summer. That’s still well short of the longer term average of 8.6 million for this part of the four-year cycle. But it would be a huge improvement from 2009, when more than 10 million salmon were expected and just 1.5 million arrived, prompting the federal government to appoint the Cohen Commission to investigate the decline. “Hopefully we’ll get a run that’s much improved relative to 2009,” said Mike Lapointe, chief biologist for the Pacific Salmon Commission. “If the run returns bigger and we’re able to get some rebuilding, that will be very important for the sockeye moving forward. It will definitely be more than what we had in the parent year that produced it.” Nobody is guaranteeing a commercial fishery yet. The pre-season forecast shows a one-in-four

It’s still too early in the season to predict whether there will be a commercial fishery for sockeye.

sockeye are summer-run salmon, concentrated in two stocks — the Quesnel and Chilko lake systems. Also coming back this year are pink salmon, which run on a twoyear cycle. Nearly nine million pinks are forecast to return — below average and down from the last couple of runs of more

than 15 million. Still, Lapointe said there are good odds of some commercial fishing for pinks, which typically fetch around 40 cents a pound, compared to $1.50 to $2 for sockeye. “It’s going to depend on how many pinks there are and how much interest there is [from the commercial fleet].”

chance of a Fraser sockeye run below 2.7 million, which would likely rule out commercial fishing, and a one-in-10 chance it will be as bad as 2009. But after the Cohen inquiry failed to come up with a single cause or solution to the slide, observers like Lapointe would be happy to con-

tinue to see an improving trendline. “We definitely did better in 2012 than 2008, we did better in 2011 than in 2007. If we can do better again in 2013 from 2009 we’ll have gotten some rebuilding off of those three very low years.” Last year’s sockeye return, while up, wasn’t enough to allow com-

mercial fishing or sports angling. There are no concerns about 2014 — next year marks the return of the huge Adams River run, which came back with a stunning return of more than 30 million sockeye in 2010, meaning enough fish spawned to assure at least a healthy run. The bulk of this year’s

paid without receipts. Those and other inadequacies in recordkeeping prevented Doyle from assessing whether constituency funds were being properly spent. The 2010 draft audit described the response of NDP “management” as admitting that the payments were inappropriate. “Management erroneously relied on the honour system prevalent at the [Legislative] Assembly to accept the request for transfers which are now shown to have been inappropriate,” the draft audit stated. It described the use of the funds as for “partisan purposes and not for goods or services consistent with the original purpose of the constituency office.”

When I was first approached by Ken Baerg and Randall Peters about initiating this event, I knew immediately that it was something I wanted for Abbotsford to embrace, knowing the capacity for generosity and empathy held by its residents. Not only did I want to participate, but I wanted by grandchildren to participate, and in so doing, develop an appreciation for what they take for granted each day, and a sense of responsibility for sharing it with those less fortunate.”

U12 Strikers division cup champions The Mission Strikers went undefeated since Christmas. SUBMITTED PHOTO

After a less than mediocre record though the Christmas break, the U12 Mission Strikers went undefeated since Feb. 2 culminating in two overtime shoot out victories to win the division cup

championship. The March 9 game saw the Strikers take a 3-1 lead into the later part of the game, with goals by Jackson Trask, Bavan Dahliwal, and Jasraj Brar. Maple Ridge’s West

Coast Warriors, holders of the league’s best record, were far from done and battled back to tie the game at 3-3 by the end of regulation time. Superb defense by Brar, Dylan Harmston

and Erik Theissen, as well as some huge and timely stops by goalkeeper Tanner Geringer, helped preserve the tie through two overtime sessions which forced a shoot out.
