New boundaries, middle schools New school calendar still being considered BY

NEIL CORBETT

Mission Record

The Mission School District is moving to a middle school model, has accepted new school boundary catchments proposed by staff, and is still looking into a new school calendar.

At Tuesday night’s Board of Education meeting, trustees adopted a series of motions to put

the changes into effect. An audience of approximately 125 parents and teachers attended the meeting at Silverdale elementary.

“I feel really good about it. It was the accumulation of a lot of work done over the past months,” said board chair Cindy Miller.

She was referring to the Vision 2020 planning process which included a series of public consultation meetings. The question was how to adapt the local education system to changes in the world.

The three main areas of discussion that emerged were school configuration, school boundary changes and the school calendar.

Dealing with school configuration, the board passed a motion: “That the Board of Education approve the implementation of a K-6, 7-9, 10-12 School within a School model to begin immediately.”

Miller said this model makes sense, because it moves Grade 7 students into the district’s three high schools, which have declining enrolments. Conversely, elementary populations are projected to grow in coming years, and full-day kindergarten will demand more use of space.

She said the middle school (7-9) and high

advised that there is no structural damage to other areas of the school that would compromise safety to students and staff.

Mission Fire/Rescue Chief Ian Fitzpatrick said the call came in at about 2:30 a.m. Firefighters had a difficult time locating and fighting the fire, which was in the attic in the east wing of the school, and had burned a hole through the roof in one spot.

Fitzpatrick said investigators believe an electrical fault caused the blaze.

“It was not suspicious,”

he said. “It is not confirmed, but our suspected cause is electrical.”

Sturgeon’s development still afloat Developer Howard Meakin will once again bid against district council for critical waterfront property BY

NEIL CORBETT

Mission Record

The Sturgeon’s on the Fraser development is still afloat, developer Howard Meakin told The Record this week.

He is once again bidding against the District of Mission to purchase the 1.6-acre waterfront property formerly owned by Meeker Cedar.

“Time has worked in our favour.

We can go forward with an offer to complete,” said Meakin. “The vendors know my interest.”

Meakin outbid the district for the property in November. His offer of $1.5 million was the winning bid, but he missed a Feb. 5 deadline to complete the sale.

“We weren’t ready, we couldn’t get everything done,” said Meakin.

According to the developer, when he missed the deadline the vendor went back to the district and asked if the municipality was still interested in purchasing the property.

The mayor and council put a public notice in The Record on March 18 confirming that the district is “again pursuing purchase of these properties in what they consider to be the best interests of the community.”

The district made a new offer on March 5. The amount is not

since the November competition for the property.

However he has heard enough goodwill from members of the business community in Mission, that Meakin believes the district will be forced to deal fairly with him once he owns the property.

“The public support is phenomenal,” said Meakin.

“I’m far enough into it, I want to see it done. I’m not a quitter.”

Mayor James Atebe would not comment on district’s interest in the property, but reiterated that council has yet to receive a development application from Meakin.

“Let him (Meakin) put the application forward, and council will deal with it,” he said.

Waterfront property purchase divides council Coun. Jenny Stevens tells The Record she has always opposed the purchase of the former Meeker Cedar property on ethical and financial grounds BY

Mission Record

Mission Coun. Jenny Stevens wants the public to know she is against the municipality purchasing the former Meeker Cedar property on the waterfront.

“I have been opposing the whole business on financial and ethical grounds,” said the 11year veteran of council.

“If we lose the bid, I will cheer like mad.”

Municipal governments conduct land purchases in private meetings, so the debate over the waterfront has not been heard by the public. However, Stevens said she has gone from being the lone opponent on council to one of

three. The vote was 4-3 to buy the property.

She said council voted to bid on the 1.6 acre property last year, despite knowing that developer Howard Meakin needed the land for his Sturgeon’s on the Fraser project.

Meakin successfully outbid council with a $1.5 million offer. However, last month he missed a deadline to complete the sale, and council has confirmed that it once again made an offer.

“We are bidding against a chap who wants to bring 100-some jobs to town, and to start developing right away,” Stevens said.

“I was, and am, uncomfortable about it. We know he has plans for this piece of land.”

On the other hand, Stevens said the district

school (10-12) programs will share the same building, but there will be separate streams for students.

A second motion instructs district staff to reduce the number of teacher contacts for grade 8 and 9 students for the 2010/11 school year. This means middle school students will see fewer teachers, and in the past three or four has been the suggested number of instructors.

would be making a “speculative land purchase,” for which it has no immediate use. There is a chance the site is contaminated, and remedial work may be necessary.

She said the purchase would STEVENS drain the district’s reserves, and there are higher priority projects – such as a pedestrian walkway to the Junction commercial area – where the money could be spent.

“Right off, on pure finances alone, I was against it,” said Stevens. “We’re not broke, but this is a damn good way to go about it.”

She calls the site “an acre of land for which I have heard no good use.”

Stevens defends the developer, saying he cannot fairly be criticized by city hall for not yet putting a development proposal before council.

“Of course he hasn’t, he doesn’t own the land,” she said. “You can’t develop someone

“This is a good fit for Mission,” said Miller.

The board also passed a motion to accept school boundary catchments as presented.

“Those boundaries haven’t been changed for quite a few years,” said Miller.

She said the new boundaries will not preclude parents from applying for cross-boundary transfers, and at present there are about 800 students who cross boundaries to go to school.

However, she said the goal is to eliminate the need for busing.

eelse’s land.”

She said the principal argument for the district buying the m pproperty is to give the municipaliity some control over land on the waterfront. She doesn’t agree. w “That’s what the development ATEBE process is for,” she said.

“I don’t think in this time, and in this place, we have a need for speculative land purchases.”

Mayor James Atebe said he cannot comment on district property transactions before they are completed.

“There are rules that govern us, and I have to live by those rules,” he said.

Asked what use the district could have for the property, he said “It would be inappropriate for me to comment.”

“I don’t want to get in an argument with a councillor in the media,” added Atebe.

“When council makes a decision, we don’t all have to be unanimous.”

“That’s the goal – to put money into classrooms rather than busing,” said Miller.

A board press release said parents of students affected by the boundary changes will receive a letter from the school district informing them of the changes to their neighbourhood school, the impact of its change on their children, and the options available.

Miller said the school calendar has been the most controversial issue with parents, and trustees will consult with senior government before making a decision.

The board will meet with MLAs and Education Ministry officials to request consideration of changes to the standard school calendar. And it will “continue to examine alternatives to the standard calendar that reflect our community context.”

Miller said Mission is unlikely to be alone if it does change to a new school calendar.

“We have heard from other districts in the province that they are considering other calendars,” she said.

Miller said she has been impressed by the community involvement throughout the Vision 2020 process.

Mission Mounties helped capture Andy, the runaway llama, last week, when he was clocked doing 35 km/h down Cedar Street.

Mounties get their llama BY

Five-year-old Andy was immediately noticed when he ran away from home last week. It’s not every day you see a sixfoot llama walking along Cedar Valley streets.

“He’s a really nice guy, gentle, but dumb as a

stump,” said Bill Young, who along with wife, Bonnie, raised Andy from a baby.

Young suspects Andy and his other llama, Lady Ruth, were spooked that night, March 16, and jumped the four-foot fence around their home near Stave Lake Street and Ferndale. Ruth went

one way, into the neighbour’s yard, and Andy went the other way, down the street.

Mission Mounties were called to the area of Cedar Street and Egglestone around 1 a.m. after Andy was spotted.

It was a slower than normal night for police, said Cpl. Raina Siou, so

several officers had time to look for Andy.

When officers initially tried to corral the animal, he bolted. Young said his llama was clocked running at 35 km/h down the street. Andy ran north and police caught up to him on Dewdney Trunk Road near Shaw Street.

Mounties attempted to corral the llama again, and eventually lassoed him.

Andy was taken by Mission Animal Control and was held until the Youngs were contacted.

When the Youngs woke up the next morning around 7 a.m., Bill noticed the llamas weren’t in the yard. A neighbour called to let them know Ruth was in their yard, but Andy was nowhere to be seen.

Bonnie coaxed Ruth back home, and her husband called Animal Control, and located Andy, who returned home on a trailer.

He’s stressed out and laying low for now, after his night out, said Young.

Andy has run away before. He was just six months old, and a lot smaller then, and a passerby was able to pick him up and take him back home.

The Youngs used to operate a pumpkin patch, where school children would visit every Halloween to pick up pumpkins and tour the farm.

The llamas were a part of the experience; children delighted in petting and feeding the llamas, trying to not get spit on.

Over the past couple of years, the Youngs have turned the pumpkin patch into a Christmas tree farm, and visitors can still visit Andy and Ruth.

Young has now put up an electric fence to scare off any bears or coyotes that might spook Andy and Ruth, and hopes the only running the runaway llama will be doing is around the yard.

Rehab centre closing after almost 50 years Former Miracle Valley losing patients to urban rehab facilities BY

NEIL CORBETT

Mission Record

After almost 50 years of helping men beat their drug and alcohol addictions, there will be no more miracles at the Cordula and Gunter Paetzold Rehabilitation Centre.

“Miracle Valley,” as the Salvation Army’s institution has been known to locals, will be closing its doors for good at the end of July.

“It is terrible news, but it has to be,” said Maj. John Ratcliff, the executive director. “We’ve got a very large facility, and it’s expensive to maintain.”

He said the “perfect storm” of declining client enrollment, rising expenses and an aging facility have all rocked Miracle Valley at once.

The Salvation Army bought the scenic property at the end of Stave Lake Road (address 14100) in 1961, and began taking clients in 1963. There are 125 private rooms and 13 buildings on site. In 2000 there were extensive renovations, and Miracle Valley was renamed in honour of the major donor.

Ratcliff said there were 256 graduates of the programs last year, and a total

Province hikes camp site fees It’s going to cost more to camp out in a B.C. provincial park this year.

The provincial government is jacking camping fees by $1 to $4 per night depending on the location.

Basic campsites will now cost $16 (up from $15) while high-demand campgrounds with advanced amenities will now cost $28 or $30 (up from $26).

Other intermediatelevel sites that previously cost $19 will go up $2.

Overnight backcountry hikers camping in “premium” areas like Garibaldi, Cathedral, Mount Robson and Cape Scott provincial parks will pay $10 a night (up from $5).

Backcountry fees in most other parks, including Manning, will stay at $5.

Boaters will now pay $12 mooring buoy fees per night (up from $10).

And RV users will be hit up for $5 (up from $2) to dump their tanks at a BC Parks sani-station.

of 612 clients admitted. More than half came from the Lower Mainland region, and others from across the province.

He explained that the centre will take clients until April 29, and they will all be given the opportunity to complete their 90-day program.

“We want to meet the needs of our clients – we’re committed to that,” said Ratcliff, “and we want to look after our staff as well.”

There are 37 full-time and part-time employees at the facility.

Maj. Brian Venables, the Salvation Army’s secretary of PR, said the model of the large, rural addiction treatment centre “doesn’t seem to be in vogue anymore.”

Rather than a country getaway, people are increasingly choosing to get addiction treatment in urban settings. He said 350 new addiction treatment beds have opened across the region over approximately the past seven years.

So, while the Paetzold Centre can treat 125 men, it is presently running at between 75 and 85. That simply isn’t paying the bills.

Ratcliff said the facility will leave an impressive legacy.

“There have been literally thousands of clients who have come through here and had a recovery, who have positive stories to tell.”

The Salvation Army has not yet decided what will be done with the property.

Celebrate together

T

he Paralympic Games came to a close this weekend, capping off our Olympic year.

Starting one week later, the Paralympics always struggle for attention in the shadow of the regular Games.

But it’s not from any lack of passion on behalf of the athletes.

If anything, the men and women competing over these past weeks in Vancouver show us something even nobler than what we saw during the Olympics.

Whether their disabilities — and we use the term for want of some better word — were there at birth, or due to accident or injury, all participants have pushed themselves to the highest levels of athleticism.

They are the equal of any Olympian and truly among the world’s finest.

It’s time to rethink separating the two Games. Rather than have a two-week Olympics, a week off, and then let the Paralympics begin once the stage has been cleared, it seems fitting to run all the events concurrently, maybe over a three- or four-week stretch.

But why stop there? If we want to make the Olympics truly a celebration of the best humanity has to offer, it’s also time to revisit another chapter of the Games’ past.

At the London Summer Olympics in 1948, John Weinzweig claimed a silver medal for Canada. His sport? Musical composition. It was the last year the Olympics gave out medals for arts, something that had been done since the 1912 Games in Stockholm.

In 1949, the International Olympic Committee voted to drop artistic competition after it was deemed inconsistent because professional artists and writers could compete while only amateur athletes were allowed.

Times have changed. We now celebrate a gold medal hockey team manned entirely by millionaire NHL players.

It behooves the IOC to reconsider the importance of the arts and expand the Quadrennial celebration to include other aspects of human achievement.

A brief history of gambling T

he first rumour I heard about gambling in B.C. was on the school bus. If you knew the guy at the general store in Pouce Coupe, you could get a ticket on the Irish Sweepstakes and maybe be set for life with, like, $100,000.

Mind you, this was in the 1960s, when B.C. residents had to belly up to the liquor store counter to inquire about a case of Old Style. Shelves were off-limits to all but sternfaced government staff, lest a commoner be tempted to grab the demon drink and run away. Nearly all gambling was illegal, except bingo at church basements and country fairs.

Then the Olympic lottery was brought in, strictly as a To temporary measure to assist after the 1976 Summer Games in Montreal. The successor of that effort, the 649 draw, just paid out $41 million on two tickets bought in Edmonton and London, Ont. Lotteries are at the heart of what has become a $1 billion revenue stream for the B.C. government, along with Vegas-style casinos, Texas hold ’em poker tournaments, and “community gaming centres” full of one-armed bandits. But the moralizing continues over gambling.

Some of the nastier exchanges in the legislature this month came as a slow drip of bad news for lottery grant recipients continued. Sports clubs, arts groups, bird refuges, even playgrounds are affected as the B.C. Liberals feel the weight of $4.5 billion in deficits this year and next.

No question period on gambling would be complete without an exchange of cheap shots over bingo. NDP critic Shane Simpson asked Housing and Social Development Minister Rich Coleman why he was doubling down on Internet gambling, giving B.C. Lottery Corp. the authority and budget to set up player accounts for up to $10,000.

Coleman’s first response m was a ritual reference to bingo funds “you stole” from Nanaimo charities under the NDP “regime” in the 1990s.

After a mild rebuke from the Speaker, Coleman justified the decision by promising the B.C. gambling site wouldn’t be crooked.

“The fact that a teenaged kid in this province could take their parents’ Visa card and go online and gamble at someplace like Barbados or over in the Cayman Islands or somewhere like that …

Why not have a legal thing so people could do it legally in this province?”

B.C. Views

Fletcher

A succession of B.C. governments has tried to launder gambling profits by giving a portion to charities. The state’s expansion into Internet gambling marks the end for that approach.

It wasn’t long ago when swim club parents took their turns handing out cards at smoke-filled bingo halls, taking a cut from overweight players to finance their kids’ healthy exercise. Then smoking was banned, and hardcore players drifted to casinos and computers.

Now Coleman says charity bingo sponsorship agreements are being phased out as they expire. The province is paying out $50 million annually to 1,500 bingo-affiliated charities, but “the revenue from bingo is expected to be $1.8 million this year,” he said. “So bingo is a dying marketplace for us.”

The lottery “marketplace” in B.C. has been solid for a decade, thanks to aggressive advertising and an array of ticket offerings tailored to ethnic and other tastes. But the future is clear.

“I think online [gambling] is going to be a business line, but it’s not going to be a massive growth line like the casinos were,” Coleman said.

Oh, and let’s not forget that a portion of B.C. gambling revenues is dedicated to funding health care, just as HST revenues will be. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 2010

Waterfront plans too expensive Editor, The Record: Mission council is to be congratulated on exploring the options for Mission’s waterfront, but the resulting plan is seriously flawed.

Mayor James Atebe stated that “the most important thing is to have the correct vision.”

He is wrong. The most important thing is to have a plan that is affordable without unbearable tax increases or unsupportable borrowing. The current plan fails that test.

The recently published “Constraints Report” identifies huge costs for dealing with the potential for liquefaction in the event of an earthquake, remediating polluted land, completely rebuilding dykes and a crossing of the CPR right of way. Mission cannot even afford the studies to identify the costs, much less the actual work.

Council’s vision can only become reality if a private developer can be found to

absorb these costs. Council’s treatment of the Howard Meakin application makes such participation extremely unlikely.

Council bidding against a much-needed development makes no sense. This developer has been in negotiations with Mission for many months. Staff have been in a protracted dialogue detailing their requirements for this application. Yet during this dialogue council was bidding against him for the land, offering over $1 million for land for which they have no use and for which they cannot afford to remediate earlier pollution.

What message does this send to potential partners?

Council claimed to have knowledge that he has no further interest in the land. However, a simple phone call to Meakin would have confirmed that he has, in fact, submitted a certified cheque for nearly $70,000 as a token of his interest.

Meakin’s plan would create a floating upscale restaurant, coffee shop and tap house.

It would create over 120 jobs and approximately $3 million worth of local work refitting the restaurant. It would also pay taxes and development cost charges.

Additionally this development would facilitate a float plane service to Victoria and an expanded jet boat operation.

Yet Mission council seems willing to deplete already dangerously low financial reserves to acquire land they cannot use.

“Vision” is wonderful, but it must be tempered with reality.

It is time for council to reverse its position of not even talking to Meakin, and to enter into good faith discussions which would facilitate the vision and avoid potential financial disaster for Mission.

Ron Taylor Mission

Competition with developer ‘ludicrous’ Editor, The Record: The District of Mission is “open for business” unless it would seem that the “business” is to bring an immediate boost to the waterfront development, not to mention tax dollars and jobs to Mission.

The project that Howard Meakin has been working on for months will offer many benefits to the area, and enhance the existing Fraser River experience that Mission is known for all over the world.

Council is entitled to its own opinion on the Meeker property, but it is not entitled to its own facts. The easily checkable fact is that Meakin has submitted a non-subject

offer to the vendor, ready for submission to the court at the appropriate time.

Mission council’s wish to spend over one million taxpayer dollars for the Meeker property in competition with the only developer to step forward with a waterfront proposal is ludicrous.

Council is stepping into quicksand, not knowing the costs of remediation of the site before it makes an offer to purchase. The potential cost of remediation of the site with its prior uses as a bulk fuel plant, drycleaner and sawmill will be in the millions, and like the purchase, will come from our tax dollars.

The Meakin proposal has Brownfield funding from the province in place for remediation works, but only uses the land for parking, which is a safe bet for him and no risk to us!

Most importantly, Meakin’s proposal risks his money not ours. One only has to remember the Leisure Centre project to understand the concerns we should all have in council’s ability to manage large projects Why on earth is Mission council so set on sabotaging the only practicable proposal for waterfront development?

Rob Chadwick Mission

Supporting crime victims It is my opinion that Mission Community Services does not care about the program, its staff or volunteers, and treats us like some kind of unwanted rash.

The District of Mission has the opportunity to take over this program, but it seems the mayor and council do not want to “rock the boat” at community services. Shame on you.

You are doing a disservice to the citizens of Mission!

I will continue to volunteer with this extremely valuable organization as I am passionate about it. I see the victims first hand.

I would urge anyone who has been helped by our services to write to district council.

We are a low profile organization and we need your help to continue the valuable work that we do.

I would also like to see an independent audit of our funding for the last few years.

Editor, The Record: To all the wonderful people in Mission that handed over their bottles to help the Wildcats Volleyball Club this past Saturday on our bottle drive, thank you.

Thanks to all your generosity, and a lot of hard work by the U15 team and their families, we raised another $1,400 towards our trip to Calgary for the 2010 Nationals.

If anyone put bottles out and we did not pick them up please accept our apologies as we ran out of time despite the seven hours spent gathering and sorting.

Jo-Anne Chadwick U15 Girls Team Manager

Editor, The Record: I’ve been to every public meeting on the subject and done my own unofficial polling on the school grounds. I have yet to meet a parent that is in favour of changing the school calendar.

Of all the changes the school board is considering at this time, the school calendar has been the most heated topic. It is still unclear to me why such a drastic change is being considered. Any benefits I’ve heard haven’t convinced me it’s worth the consequences.

As a parent of two elementary aged children, scheduling is a huge part of what I do every day. Scheduling kids to and from school, holidays, professional development days, social events, after school courses, play dates etc. These aren’t just within Mission. The thought of having to figure this all out when out of sync with our connecting communities is overwhelming.

It’s like driving a car. When you first learn to drive it’s overwhelming to remember and be aware of every procedure because it’s new. After a few years of driving most of it is second nature, and you can focus on driving safely.

We’re driving safely now and don’t need to start driving on the other side of the road!

How many teachers from other districts live in Mission? My husband is one of them, and it would make no sense whatsoever for us to be on a different schedule than him. If the Mission district decides to change the annual school calendar they’ll be losing us to the Abbotsford school district. It will be inconvenient to have to drive my kids across the bridge every day and a burden on our global footprint, but at least we’d be on the same schedule as a family and still able to fit within the many organizations outside of Mission we enjoy.

I appreciate that Mission is willing to look at dramatic changes to improve our children’s education, I just don’t believe this is the solution.

Editor, The Record: It is time someone let Mission residents know about Mission Victim Services and the work we do. I have been volunteering with Victim Services for two and a half years, during which time I have put in thousands of hours.

Victim Services helps victims of all types of crime, offering emotional support and referrals to other services. Volunteers and staff are called out at all times of the day or night, and work in conjunction with Mission RCMP. The agency is overseen by Mission Community Services and is funded by the Solicitor General’s office. It is my opinion that this funding may have been mismanaged in the past, and part of the funding for Victim Services may have been allocated to other programs, leaving Victims Services with a budget shortfall of approximately $12,000. If it were not for the volunteers, this vital service would be almost non-existent. Last year we dealt with 427 files, an average of more than one a day!

Hatzic flooding costs farmers millions: report BY

NEIL CORBETT

Mission Record

Floods in the Hatzic Valley are costing the local agricultural economy up to $2.2 million per year.

That was the finding of Kim Sutherland, an agrologist who works for the Ministry of Agriculture and a Mission resident.

She completed a report on the economic impact of flooding and poor draining on Hatzic Prairie in 2006.

When the Dewdney Area Improvement District (DAID) lobbies government for new, higher power pumps and the dredging of Hatzic Lake, Legace Creek and the rest of the watershed, it uses her report to show that the project makes economic sense. Less flooding would mean more productive fields.

Local farmers complain about their dairy cows standing in water up to to their bellies, or about hay fields that once got three cuts, but now only get one. Even in seasons when there is no flooding, the effects are still felt.

Driving with Sutherland down Farms Road, which can at times be completely submerged, the effects of the poor drainage are evident – fields left fallow. These are fields that were once bountiful, and in the 1920s and 1930s trains from the West Coast would stop at Hatzic to be loaded with strawberries that would go across Canada.

“It was the strawberry producing capital of Canada – it was the California,” said Sutherland. “People don’t realize the value of the agriculture products we produce in the Fraser Valley – it’s quite high, and the productivity is very high.”

Blueberries have become a popular crop in the Valley, selling for about $1 per pound. Good fields can produce up to 15,000 pounds per acre, and Hatzic has good-sized parcels of land, 25 acres and larger, which are economical to farm. There are about 2,500 acres of farmland in Hatzic Prairie.

The Fraser Valley is the most productive farm region in Canada, and is twice as productive as the second-place Niagara Peninsula.

In this reliable, fertile

region, farmers use every inch of the fertile soil they can access. But in Hatzic valley, where a flood could wipe out their investment and their work, fields that once grew valuable crops are covered in coarse grasses and weeds.

“If you don’t have reliable drainage you can’t risk putting in plants that are expensive to plant and cultivate,” said Sutherland. “They’ll put in lower value crops, and hope it doesn’t flood.”

She conducted a land inventory, looked at the fields that aren’t being used, and spoke directly with farmers.

“They are frustrated,” she said. “Many have been there for years. They’ve seen a downgrade of the quality of their land in

places, and it’s riskier now than it used to be.”

The result is also a loss of property value.

“Even urban people can relate to it – if your house starts flooding, your property value degrades.”

Her report looks at crops in the fields that were abandoned, everything from hay to Christmas trees, and what it would be worth.

She estimates the losses to have been between $832,000 and $2.2 million.

DAID proposes a $9.5 million plan, funded 90 per cent by provincial and federal governments, to improve the pumping capacity for Hatzic Lake, and to deepen the channels of Legace Creek.

Sutherland sees it as an

easy decision for government, based on agriculture alone.

“It would pay off. It looks like an investment,” she said.

Without this work, she predicts the situation for Hatzic residents could worsen.

“With climate change we’re seeing higher rainfall and more chance of flooding events, and Hatzic Prairie is not going to be well buffered against that.”

Her study looked at the potential for the area, and in her opinion the area would have more fields planted, and more highvalue investment in agriculture.

“All of the drainage improvements would pay back.”

New shopping centre proposed

BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

An open market and pedestrian-oriented shopping centre is being proposed for the College Heights area, across from Windebank Elementary school.

The proposal from Urban Design Group features a 4,020 square metre neighbourhood shopping centre with 930 sq. m of

office space.

There will be benches and trellises throughout and a landscaping plan which will include a variety of trees, like maples, dogwood and magnolia, and other plants like day lilies and yarrow.

At a public input meeting Monday night architects explained the buildings will be constructed using a steel frame system. There will be a lot of

Residents oppose basement suites

BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Residents across from a 3.95 acre property on the corner of Tunbridge Avenue and Fennell Street are opposed to seeing it rezoned for a 23-lot subdivision.

Local developers Gary Toor and K.C. McPherson are proposing to create a mixture of lot sizes.

Eighteen lots would be 372 square metres, and five would be 465 square metres to accommodate secondary suites.

Residents on Greene Place, Appleby Court and Appleby Lane who attended the public hearing opposed any basement suits in the area, citing traffic and density concerns, and a decrease in the value of their homes.

The district received a petition from the neighbourhood, and residents also spoke against the plan at Monday night’s council meeting.

Lance Meadows said when he bought his property, he was told the property in question couldn’t be developed with basement suites because of the groundwater table.

The neighbourhood has a unique style of housing (two storey with crawl space) and neighbours would like to see buildings with similar characteristics continue in the neighbourhood.

Mission’s deputy director of planning Barclay Pitkethly explained the previous property owner wanted to create a cul de sac in the area, and had it rezoned. The developer intended to build the subdivision, but for whatever reason, didn’t.

“We closed the file on rezoning and the appeal

date expired,” said Pitkethly. “My understanding is the developers (Toor and McPherson) bought the property and put forward (a different) development plan.”

Toor explained both he and McPherson were born and raised in Mission and take a lot of pride in what they do. We work with design consultants and the district’s planning department to make sure the buildings are appealing, he said.

“We’re in close contact with potential buyers and realtors,” said Toor, who noted people want a choice of homes.

Just because a home has a basement doesn’t mean it will be a suite, he added.

Someone could have their elderly parents living there, and others, like Toor himself, could use the extra space for entertaining or storage.

“And the talk about property values going down is not correct. A home with a basement will get you more money than a two-storey.”

Some residents also accused the developers of carving out a road and working on the property without a permit from the district.

Toor explained he took the opportunity to pick up some gravel for the site, but has not done any pipe work.

Any work the property owner does is at his own risk because there is no guarantee council will approve the application, said Dennis Clark, director of corporate administration.

Council will review all the material from the public hearing before making a decision at a later date.

stone work on the buildings, and a significant amount of steel and glass canopies as well as canvass awnings, allowing shoppers to walk around comfortable even in unfavourable weather.

The developer is aiming to create an open market and work with small to medium size retail services which suit neighbourhood characteristics.

The plan is to have two

accesses to the plaza, one off Stave Lake Street and the other on 11th Avenue. Other traffic details still have to be worked out, and final approval is subject to engineering issues.

District planner Dayle Reti explained zoning for the development, called Heritage Market Place, has been in place for more than 10 years.

Residents near the pro-

posed new shopping centre spoke to council about visual and landscape concerns. One speaker wanted to see a more “green” development and another suggested Mission should create its own unique look and build the community around that concept.

Some councillors were impressed with the plans and excited to see something finally being done on the site.

Felger finds new spot Pot activist coming to Mission; vows to return to Abbotsford

BY VIKKI HOPES Black Press

Pot activist Tim Felger, who has been evicted from his Abbotsford location, has found a new place in Mission.

Felger won’t reveal the location of his new Da Kine “political office,” but said he has had the site lined up for some time – before his battle over rent with Dan Banov, the owner of the Abbotsford building at 33770 Essendene Ave. Felger is well known in Abbotsford after running for political office in federal, provincial and municipal elections. He has run both as a candidate for the Marijuana Party, and as an independent.

He first made headlines for public smoking marijuana, and later for legal troubles.

Felger was arrested and charged last May – along with two others – for allegedly trafficking pot to teens out of his store.

The matter is currently making its way through Abbotsford provincial court.

He said Mission has long been on his radar.

“I was going to open another store anyway,” Felger said.

He said his eviction in Abbotsford simply sped up the process. Felger said he hasn’t yet decided if he will apply for a business licence to sell goods from the Mission location.

“It depends how the municipality of Mission treats me,” he said.

The City of Abbotsford cancelled Felger’s business licence last summer, and he could no longer sell T-shirts, books and other items. The site then operated solely as a political office for the legalization of marijuana.

Felger was forced to vacate the Abbotsford Da Kine last Tuesday, after Banov obtained a court order. Banov is suing Felger for almost $53,000 in back rent.

Felger has appealed the case, saying he owns half the building and his rent is paid in full. He vowed to win his appeal, return to that location and open

OPEN FOR

a second store in Abbotsford.

“Don’t for one minute think I’m leaving, and don’t think for one minute that it’s over for Dan Banov.”

Felger’s presence in the downtown core has drawn a mix of reactions since he set up there in 2006. Some supported his political views, while others felt he detracted from an area that has undergone a major facelift in recent years.

Gerry Palmer, vicepresident of the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association, said Felger’s store, with its “cartoonish” paintings on the windows, did not fit in with the look of surrounding businesses.

Original 1930s glass on the storefront had been covered up, but can be seen again.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 2010

Felger coming to Mission Evicted pot activist vows to return to Abbotsford

BY VIKKI HOPES Black Press

Pot activist Tim Felger, who has been evicted from his Abbotsford location, has found a new place in Mission.

Felger won’t reveal the location of his new Da Kine “political office,” but said he has had the site lined up for some time – before his battle over rent with Dan Banov, the owner of the Abbotsford building at 33770 Essendene Ave. Felger is well known in Abbotsford after running for political office in federal, provincial and municipal elections. He has run both as a candidate for the Marijuana Party, and as an independent.

He first made headlines for public smoking marijuana, and later for legal troubles.

Felger was arrested and charged last May – along with two others – for allegedly trafficking pot to teens out of his store. The matter is currently making its way through Abbotsford provincial court.

He said Mission has long been on his radar.

“I was going to open another store anyway,” Felger said.

He said his eviction in Abbotsford simply sped up the process. Felger said he hasn’t yet decided if he will apply for a business licence to sell goods from the Mission location.

“It depends how the municipality of Mission treats me,” he said.

The City of Abbotsford cancelled Felger’s business licence last summer, and he could no longer sell T-shirts, books and other items. The site then operated solely as a political office for the legalization of marijuana.

Felger was forced to vacate the Abbotsford Da Kine last Tuesday, after Banov obtained a court order. Banov is suing Felger for almost $53,000 in back rent.

Felger has appealed the case, saying he owns half the building and his rent is paid in full. He vowed to win his appeal, return to that location and open a second store in Abbotsford.

“Don’t for one minute think I’m leaving, and don’t think for one minute that it’s over for Dan

Province jacks tax on private car sales Change will create level playing field with dealers

BY JEFF

NAGEL

Black Press

If you want to buy a used car, boat or airplane without losing an extra five per cent slice to the provincial government, start your engines.

Come July 1, private vehicle purchasers will pay 12 per cent provincial sales tax to Victoria – up from seven per cent now – as a result of a tax hike slipped into the provincial budget.

The increase is projected to raise an extra $125 million this year and $171 million in 2011.

The intent, according to the government, is to level the playing field between private sellers and used car dealerships, which will continue to pay 12 per cent once the harmonized sales tax takes effect. “That inequity has been flagged for us and the problems that it caused around curbers and the inappropriate sale of used cars by purportedly private individuals,�

Finance Minister Colin

Taxes for private vehicle purchases will increase to 12 per cent from seven per cent beginning July 1.

Hansen said in Question Period Thursday. “It’s a tax grab, plain and simple,� NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston said, arguing tougher licensing and enforcement of dealers could have stopped curbing, the practice where car dealers pretend to be private sellers.

As with home renovations – where the higher tax load from the HST may fuel more underthe-table activity – more vehicle transactions may go by way of the black market, Ralston said.

He called it odd that the tax change comes at the same time the province is reducing the tax on luxury vehicles.

“Less tax on the new Beamer, more tax on the used Chev – is there any clearer illustration that the HST is gouging ordinary British Columbians?� Ralston asked.

Hansen said small business owners in northern B.C. often need vehicles costing more than $55,000 for business.

Private sellers pay the same share of tax as dealers in most other provinces, he said.

Vehicles modified for wheelchairs or with special controls for the disabled will get a complete exemption from the tax.

Hansen denied there was any secrecy around the increase, which was

spelled out in the March 2 budget speech but did not get media attention until Thursday.

In their first month of a two-year term, Mission Seniors Centre Association president Frank Sleigh says his group has a lot of work ahead.

Sleigh was elected to a new term on March 4, as part of what he calls “a new executive of old faces.”

He said the new executive will be responsible for building a vibrant seniors centre at its new facilities – a districtowned building on 10th Avenue that has served as a temporary fire hall, and more recently as the Playstation.

Also, before his twoyear term is up, Sleigh

would also like to see groundwork laid for a new, dedicated Seniors Centre building, with recreational facilities at ground level, and strata title seniors apartments above.

He said the Seniors Centre Association was born in 2006, out of district council’s Seniors Advisory Council. The group’s mandate is to establish a seniors centre, he explained, and once the building is in place, a similar agency will likely operate it.

For now, the district has given the group primary use of the Playstation, and Sleigh said the immediate goal is “to get that going.”

“We’re basically equip-

ping at the moment,” he said.

Sleigh is a former councillor with the District of Mission, who ran for mayor against Abe Neufeld in 1993. He is grateful that council has given the association a building of its own, at no cost, and he feels it is important for the seniors group to demonstrate they can administer their own affairs.

“It’s a famous arrangement,” he said. “It gives us a chance to establish that we have the ability

to run our own organization.”

Currently the group offers bingo, cribbage, line dancing and other events; and they are open to proposals.

Sleigh and other members of the association have visited seniors centres from Cowichan to Hope and all points in between. He is also a retired architect with extensive experience with strata projects.

He would like to pattern Mission’s centre after one in Maple Ridge, where seniors condominiums financed the project.

“We’ve got a pretty good idea of what works, what to avoid, and where the cost is,” he said.

“I’m hoping I can see it started before the end of my two-year term.”

He said the Seniors Centre Association will host an open house this spring.

about gangs The John Howard Society of the Fraser Valley (JHSFV) is presenting a forum called Communities Impacting Gangs on March 31 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Heritage Park School.

JHSFV is being funded by Public Safety Canada to engage the community in discussions about reintegrating offenders, and how to work together to address gangs impacting communities.

Former gang members, prison inreach workers and other community stakeholders will be participating in the talk.

In their first month of a two-year term, Mission Seniors Centre Association president Frank Sleigh says his group has a lot of work ahead.

Sleigh was elected to a new term on March 4, as part of what he calls “a new executive of old faces.”

He said the new executive will be responsible for building a vibrant seniors centre at its new facilities – a districtowned building on 10th Avenue that has served as a temporary fire hall, and more recently as the Playstation.

Also, before his twoyear term is up, Sleigh

would also like to see groundwork laid for a new, dedicated Seniors Centre building, with recreational facilities at ground level, and strata title seniors apartments above.

He said the Seniors Centre Association was born in 2006, out of district council’s Seniors Advisory Council. The group’s mandate is to establish a seniors centre, he explained, and once the building is in place, a similar agency will likely operate it.

For now, the district has given the group primary use of the Playstation, and Sleigh said the immediate goal is “to get that going.”

“We’re basically equip-

ping at the moment,” he said.

Sleigh is a former councillor with the District of Mission, who ran for mayor against Abe Neufeld in 1993. He is grateful that council has given the association a building of its own, at no cost, and he feels it is important for the seniors group to demonstrate they can administer their own affairs.

“It’s a famous arrangement,” he said. “It gives us a chance to establish that we have the ability

to run our own organization.”

Currently the group offers bingo, cribbage, line dancing and other events; and they are open to proposals.

Sleigh and other members of the association have visited seniors centres from Cowichan to Hope and all points in between. He is also a retired architect with extensive experience with strata projects.

He would like to pattern Mission’s centre after one in Maple Ridge, where seniors condominiums financed the project.

“We’ve got a pretty good idea of what works, what to avoid, and where the cost is,” he said.

“I’m hoping I can see it started before the end of my two-year term.”

He said the Seniors Centre Association will host an open house this spring.

Talking about gangs The John Howard Society of the Fraser Valley (JHSFV) is presenting a forum called Communities Impacting Gangs on March 31 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Heritage Park School.

JHSFV is being funded by Public Safety Canada to engage the community in discussions about reintegrating offenders, and how to work together to address gangs impacting communities.

Former gang members, prison inreach workers and other community stakeholders will be participating in the talk.

Boxing brothers win gold, silver

Mission Twisters medal at meet Mission gymnasts won their share of medals as the the Twisters Gymnastics Club hosted a competition in Abbotsford over the weekend.

The event was attended by 30 clubs from across the province. The competition was the second of three trials that gymnasts attend to try and qualify for the national championships.

On home soil Twisters gymnasts won 72 medals, three special awards and one team award.

Mission gymnasts contributed to Twisters’ success by winning 20 of the team’s medals.

Women KIP 2 Tamara Skulstad: gold on vault and floor.

Sophia Newman: silver on vault.

Lexi Gaspar: gold on beam.

She also won the balance beam choreography award for the KIP age class.

Provincial 2 Argo Vanessa Beckmann: bronze on bars and floor.

Provincial 2 Tyro Katrina Penner-Loat: bronze on beam. She also won the balance beam choreography award for Provincial 2.

Vanessa and Katrina contributed to Twisters winning the first place team trophy in the Provincial 2 category.

Provincial 3 Tyro Justine Robinson: bronze on floor.

Provincial Tyro 5 Ashlyn Skulstad: gold allaround, gold on vault, bars, beam and floor.

Men Level 1 Kristopher Unipan: gold all-around National Youth Steven Chaplin: gold all -around and in the floor event; silver on pommel horse, vault and horizontal bar; and bronze on rings.

A pair of boxing brothers from the Mission City Boxing brought back medals as they competed in the Youth and Junior Canadian Nationals in Halifax, N.S. This was Jessy Brown’s third trip to the nationals, and it was his brother Cody’s second. In 2009 Jessy won a gold medal and Cody won a silver.

This year they traded places with Jessy, 15, winning a silver medal and Cody, 13, winning gold.

Jessy fought in three bouts in the 60 kg. division. His first match was against Lucas Allan, a much bigger opponent, from Saskatchewan. With his fast hands and tight defence, Jessy came out on top earning a 7-4 victory without too much difficulty, said coach Dale Gatin.

Jessy’s second bout was against Arthur Bigarslamov from Ontario. Bigarslamov is a southpaw, so Gatin told Jessy to throw an abundance of straight rights. This was a successful strategy and Jessy won the bout 12-3.

In the gold medal bout, Jessy boxed Zolt Daranyi from Ontario. Jessy met up with Daranyi at last year’s Nationals, out boxing him 8-2.

But Daranyi apparently learned from that experience, and stayed away from Jessy’s power. Daranyi was able to use his height to his advantage, and win the match by a 7-6 decision,.

Cody is still technically a year too

young to box at the national level.

However, due to his experience in the ring he was permitted to compete.

His first bout in the 46 kg division was against Tyler Onga, the Nova Scotia champ. Cody’s footwork and combination punches kept him ahead throughout the fight. In the third round, Cody was able to give Onga two standing eight counts, resulting in Cody winning by TKO. In the gold medal bout, Cody fought a 15-year-old fighter from Quebec named Fabrice Cormier. Cody’s defence and slick footwork frustrated Cormier by the end of the first round.

His corner told Cody to keep moving and to keep his hands busy, which he did, and won the gold medal by a convincing final score of 17-7.

Also competing from Mission City Boxing was Sean McIntosh, 17, as he fought Quebec champ Antoine Bergeron in the 64 kg weight class.

Throughout the fight McIntosh used his reach and his good footwork to avoid being tagged by the Quebecois, who is known for being a heavy hitter.

The fight ended in a 3-3 tie, so it went to a count back, which unfortunately Sean lost 7-5.

“It was a good effort for his first time at the nationals,” said coach Gatin, who also served as the head coach for the B.C. delegation to nationals.

The Fraser Valley Cascades men’s basketball program is inviting boys aged 15 to 17 to attend their upcoming Junior Cascades Premier Development and ID Camp.

The camps is touted as “eight sessions of intense training” on Tuesdays and Thursdays, on April 13, 15, 20, 22, 27, 29 and May 4 and 6.

The camp will run from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the UFV gym. The cost is $110.

The coaches will include Barnaby Craddock, the UFV men’s head coach, assistant coaches Adam Friesen and Brian Crowe, AIA basketball director Dave Klassen, Matt Guynup of AIA and UFV varsity players.

This development based camp will enable the athlete to become a more

skilled and consistent player, said Craddock in a press release.

Practices will be intense and focus on refining individual skills like dribbling, shooting, defense, passing and fundamental mechanics. He said this is an opportunity for the serious basketball player interested in higher level development.

The Jr. Cascades coaching staff will also use these training sessions to select candidates for their U-17, U-16 and U-15 teams. Once these teams are selected at the end of the camp, they will practice, workout and travel during the months of May through July.

Further information about schedule and cost is available by phone 604807-9933 or e-mail davek@athletesinaction.com.

Off-road rules to wait until 2011 BY

TOM FLETCHER

Black Press

B.C. is 30 years behind the rest of the continent to regulate powered vehicles used in its back country, says a provincial group of all-terrain vehicle riders, snowmobilers, ranchers and recreation clubs.

“B.C. is the last jurisdiction in all of North America – including Mexico – to have no regulations for off-road vehicles,” the Coalition for Licensing and Registration of Off-Road Vehicles says on its website. “As such, B.C. has seen high amounts of ORV theft, a huge underground network for sales of stolen ORVs and exceptional environmental degradation and property damage.”

The coalition has been working with

the province for seven years to change that, and it celebrated last November when Tourism Minister Kevin Krueger launched a two-year plan to license sales and regulate use of the machines.

The B.C. government’s push began with trails and creek beds torn up by motorcycles and “quads,” the main focus of regulatory efforts until a string of deadly avalanches struck snowmobilers.

Even after the recent fatalities near Revelstoke, Public Safety Minister Kash Heed stuck to the government’s schedule to bring in the rules by November 2011, leaving the province’s vast Crown land area unregulated for another two summers and one winter.

Krueger says the proposed rules will include registration and licensing all

Chamber hosting golf tournament The Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce is hosting its annual golf tournament on June 3 at the Mission Golf and Country Club.

For a registration fee of $130 per person or $500 for a team of four, golfers get 18 holes of golf, a power cart, a West Coast dinner and busi-

ness networking opportunities.

There will be hole-in-one prizes and more for longest drive, closest to the pin and more.

Registration will be held at 12:30 p.m., with a 1 p.m. shotgun start.

For more information call 604826-6914.

ORVs at sale and resale, a more visible plate or decal to identify violators, and expanding the definition of ORV to include all-terrain vehicles and dirt bikes and allow local bylaws restricting them.

To cross public roads legally at designated trail crossings, riders would have to have an optional annual vehicle license and insurance. Riders who stay on Crown land would require only a one-time registration.

The province isn’t proposing to ban operators under 16, only restrict the vehicle power and speed limits. Helmets, muffler standards and lights for night use will be required for all users.

B.C.’s Coroners Service reported in December on the 2008-09 avalanche season, where 19 snowmobilers died in 11 separate incidents.

Tourism Minister Kevin Krueger tries out a “quad” while announcing a long-awaited regulatory plan with the two co-chairs of the off-road vehicle coaltion, Bruno Delesalle and Bev Felske.

A sport for gentlemen In the third year of the Terry Fox Club; our angler of the year, M M, competed as a member of Team Canada, at the World Youth Fly Fishing Championship in Ireland.

His qualifying for the team was the culmination of a year long self improvement program for the members of our club.

As coordinator of the club I was not happy with the reputation of our club, due to the fact the majority of our members, to put it politely, were not pillars of society.

Jeff I knew that my boys were nothing more than misdirected, and needed motivation and goals.

To better our image, we instated a point system. Points were awarded for attending club functions, each fish landed, size of fish and weight of fish.

Contact was made with each member’s teachers and points were removed for missing classes or detentions.

All points would be used to determine the angler of the year.

Along with this competition we instituted the Fraser Valley Middle and High School Fly Fishing Championship to promote friendly competing between school based fly fishing clubs.

By the end of the year everyone’s attitude, marks, and attendance had all improved. For our angler of the year M.M. it was a metamorphosis, from Bad apple to ambassador.

Was he perfect? No but he was trying; and in the end that is all we can ask.

Economics professor visits UFV to debate the Politics of Poverty

The Fiddlin Frenzy earned third place in the junior category with their version of Rag Time Annie at the 10th annual Mission Optimist Club Talent Show at the Clarke Theatre last weekend.

NEIL CORBETT PHOTO

Boyd and Richardson take top prize in talent show

People don’t intentionally choose to live in poverty. And anybody who ends up unemployed, homeless, and living in poverty, has their own unique story of how they got there.

SFU economics professor Krishna Pendakur argues that a staggering number of people living in poverty in Canada represent minority groups, or those often discriminated against by society. Pendakur has spent years researching Canada’s economic policies and argues that most people affected by poverty are those people who are marginalized by our society, economic theories, and our politics.

Pendakur will bring his Politics of Poverty presentation to UFV on Thursday, March 25. He will discuss his research and theories relating to how politics affects the homeless, and those living in poverty.

“I have spent the past 15 years studying statistical and econometric issues relating to the measurement of economic discrimination, inequality, and poverty,” he says. “We have established that visible minorities and Aboriginal people face great disparity in Canadian labour markets, and that this disparity shows no sign of eroding over time.”

Using economic tools including statistics, econometric theory, price comparison, cost-of-living data, and other information, Pendakur says his goal is to improve the understanding of economic inequality to all groups

in society, and to adequately measure intangibles such as poverty and inequality.

Currently co-director of the Metropolis British Columbia Centre of Excellence for Research on Immigration and Diversity, Pendakur says the research centre supports, funds, and disseminates policy-relevant research on how immigration and ethnic diversity play out in Canadian society.

One of his key arguments is that Aboriginal people face staggeringly poor labour market outcomes. Not surprising then, he adds, that Aboriginal people represent a large percentage of those living in poverty.

This event is co-sponsored by UFV’s Early Childhood Education/Child and Youth Care department and School of Social Work and Human Services.

“The public is encouraged to join us for an enlightening evening to learn about the issues faced by Canadians living in poverty,” says Eleanor Masecar, from UFV’s School of Social Work. “Dr. Pendakur will share with us his research on the economics of poverty. The discussion will facilitate a greater understanding of economic inequality and discrimination experienced by marginalized groups in Canadian society.”

Pendakur will be speaking on March 25, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Abbotsford campus in room B121.

This is a free event, but there is a $2 parking fee.

District of Mission supports 2010 Earth Hour initiative The District of 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.

The idea is to turn off all unnecessary lights between 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. on Saturday March 27 and use

this simple action of turning off the lights for one hour to 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/community/ earthhour/earthhour55386. html.

Cleaning up after your dog

Please consider registering as individuals on the Earth Hour website at www. earthhour.org and share the idea with your friends and family. Did you know 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.

The Mission Crime Prevention Office has several crime prevention programs that are staffed with

many people in the community. It often becomes a reason to ban dogs from areas.

Of course the dogs can’t clean up after themselves, so this is a people problem rather than a dog problem. It’s easy to enact “no dogs allowed” rules, and then the people who clean up suffer right along with the ones who don’t.

Neighbourhood disputes over dog waste can escalate.

In some localities it is illegal to allow your dog to relieve on someone else’s property unless you have that person’s permission. The very existence of such laws is an indication of how seriously people take the cleanup issue.

Various tools are available for picking up dog waste. Some people use a shovel, and may bury the waste in their yards.

Scooper tools can make the job easier.

These are usually lighter in weight than

Dog waste contaminates the ground and becomes a means of passing intestinal parasites and infections to dogs and people.

Your own dog can be repeatedly reinfested by parasites in this way. Picking up the feces prevents a great deal of the contamination.

Cleanup can reduce veterinary expenses Because of contamination as well as smell and mess, dog waste is highly offensive to

a shovel and more customized for the pickup task. You can tote along a bucket or bag to save steps.

A simple plastic bag slipped over your hand like a glove makes an efficient and completely clean pickup tool. A latex glove is also useful.

A wide variety of bags will work, making this one way to recycle. Simply pick up the feces, turn the bag inside out to enclose it, tie the top, and deposit it in a legal container. This system works well on outings as well as at home. Several parks in your community already supply these bags for free.

If bending is difficult for you, a long-handled scooper tool may be your better choice. Some of these are designed to work with disposable bags. There are quite a few different tools designed for picking up your dog waste.

Picking up is just part of having a dog.

If everyone would do it, there would be far fewer objections to dogs living and traveling in human communities.

Be proud to be seen picking up dog waste.

It may seem silly at first, but people who see you do this will know any mess left behind is NOT from your dog. Picking up shows pride in your community, in yourself, and in your dog. You set a great example for others, and you help create a brighter future for dogs and their people.

Josh Lindstrom stars as Charlie in Eat Your Heart Out.

ick Hall’s hilarious Eat Your Heart Out comes to Opening Nite Theatre April 8-24, starring Josh Lindstrom as Charlie.

Charlie is an actor in New York.

Therefore Charlie is, more often, a waiter in New York.

From the average and agreeable Ernie’s Restaurant to the highclass French bistro and, in harder times, the unimaginative and unappetizing Restaurant restaurant, Eat Your Heart Out follows Charlie from job to job, love affair to heartbreak, high hopes to dashed dreams.

A funny play with a touching heart, Eat Your Heart Out portrays the life of an average Joe trying to be anything but average.

The show is directed by Chris Loat and stars Lindstrom, Penny Hill as Woman, Michael Knight as Man, Tony

Loyer as Boy and Tirra Dent as Girl. Charlie is the only constant character, the other actors take on multiple roles.

The show stars Lindstrom as Charlie, Penny Hill as Woman, Michael Knight as Man, Tony Loyer as Boy and Tirra Dent as Girl. Charlie is the only constant character, the other actors take on multiple roles.

Lindstrom is a local musician, who first worked with ONTS a couple of years ago when he appeared as Tyler in Crossing Delancey. He is the poster boy for this show, and pretty much carries it on his very capable comedic shoulders.

Both Knight and Loyer are long time members of ONTS, having appeared in all of the Christmas pantomimes, as well as a number of other shows.

Knight started out as a set designer and builder and general backstage man, but was slowly drawn into the acting side of things. He played a soldier in To

the Front and Back, and has appeared in many of ONTS’s variety shows.

Loyer joined ONTS at the age of 16, when he played Peter Cratchit in A Christmas Carol. He has since made appearances every season, both on stage and on the production side of things.

Dent graduated recently from Hatzic Secondary, and this is her first appearance with ONTS. This is Hill’s second show with ONTS; she appeared in multiple roles at Christmas in the third annual pantomime.

For those on a budget, ONTS is offering a half-price preview on Thursday, April 8. The show runs April 10-24, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., with two Saturday matinees on April 17 and April 24 at 2 p.m.. Tickets are $12, and are available at Murdoch’s Book Shoppe on First Avenue in Mission, or at the door.

Morna Edmundson is one of Canada’s most inspirational conductors, and can engage any Morna Edmundson singer. She is the artistic director of Vancouver’s Elektra Women’s Choir, and has decades of experience working with choirs of all ages.

She will be taking participants through her favourite vocal building exercises and work on five musical pieces you might like to take home to your children or choir.

Edmundson will be offering a variety of choral techniques and music for all levels.

The workshop, called Spring Sing, will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on this Saturday. The cost of the event is $35, $30 for singers with a BC Choral Federation membership. To pre-register for the event, visit www.BCChoralFed.com/events/workshops/Mission. Registration deadline is March 25.

Season ends with Salt-Water Moon

BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

I

always enjoy a night out at the theatre, and we are fortunate to have a stage like the Clarke where companies, such as the Arts Club, bring their productions.

The final show for the season, Salt-Water Moon, is a beautiful love story between Jacob and Mary, who almost missed their chance to be together.

It takes place outside Mary’s house at Coley’s Point in Newfoundland. Jacob returns home after being away for a while, hoping to win back Mary, who is now engaged.

This was the first time I’ve seen this show, and I didn’t know what to expect.

The small cast of just two did an incredible

job. For an hour and a half the actors carried on a conversation like there was nobody else around.

It was just one act, no intermission, and the actors didn’t get much of a break throughout the performance.

There was little action, but there were a lot of lines.

And they delivered them with ease, and it was a pleasure to watch.

Jacob was played by Charlie Carrick and Mary was played by Abby Creek, who was making her debut performance with the Arts Club.

Michael Fera is the director of this David French play, which has won many awards, and has been produced hundreds of times over the past 20 years.

The Arts Club Theatre will return to the Clarke next season in the fall.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 2010

Mission community calendar HOLD YOUR TONGUE The Bible tells us that our tongue is a small member of our body that can cause great damage. It compares it to a small fire that can set a forest ablaze. In the Bible, St. James tells us that if anyone can control their tongue, it proves that they have perfect control over themselves in every other way. He also tells us that sometimes our tongue praises our Heavenly Father, and sometimes it breaks out into curses against men who are made like God. Holding our tongue is not always an easy thing to do; however, we should try not to speak badly or spread rumors about others. Gossiping and spreading lies are not good and often can prove quite harmful and hurtful. When we know of someone who is constantly speaking badly of others, we must realize that they are probably also rumoring about us when we are not around. There is nothing that reflects a person’s character more than what they say and the way they speak about others. A good person is kind and truthful, and their talking is free of curse words; they can be trusted not to speak of the faults of others. God wants us to live in harmony with our friends and loved ones, and holding our tongue will help us to develop a Godly relationship.

From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brethren, this ought not to be so.

OBITUARIES

McDonald,

James Frederick

Passed away peacefully on March 16, 2010 at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital at the age of 74.

He was predeceased by his wife Lora (formerly McKamey, nee Miller).

Jim was born and raised in Mission, BC and started working in Interior logging camps in the early 50’s in Williams Lake, Merritt and Lytton, to name a few. He worked in Mission for Millstream Timber in the 60’s and early 70’s and then travelled up and down the Coast living and working in numerous Coastal logging camps in the 70’s and 80’s until his retirement in the mid 90’s.

Jim was a husband, father, brother, grandfather and uncle to many but more importantly, Jim was a friend to everyone.

Jim loved the outdoors and enjoyed the annual grouse hunting trips to Aspen Grove, camping trips to Boss Lake, and spent many a day fishing off the dyke at the Dewdney Slough.

Dewdney was Jim’s home for most of his life and he could frequently be seen driving the dyke accompanied by one of his many dogs. Occasionally Jim would go “missing” for a few hours but not to worry, he could always be found playing crib at someone’s kitchen table in Dewdney or leaning against the milk tank, discussing life with Frank Olsen and Robert Buker.

Jim is survived by his friend and first wife Marlene (nee Witala), Son, Ron (Diane), Daughter, Sharon (Dave), grandchildren Colin, Mike, Michelle, Lauren and Mark, brothers Ralph (Thelma), Bill (Mary), Darry, Sister Jo (Doug) and numerous nieces and nephews. He is also survived by step sons Len (Kelly), Rick (Susan) step-daughter Sheryl and step grandchildren Justin, Rob, Jennifer, Katie, Michael, Darrel, Stacey, Jordan, Braydon and their families.

Jim, Dad, Grandpa, Papa Jim. You probably weren’t aware of it but you were an inspiration to us all. Through all your hardships, you never complained, we’ve never heard you say a bad word about anyone and regardless of the circumstance, you always kept a smile on your face. You will be a tough act to follow, but are a great example of how to live life with kindness and integrity.

A celebration of Jim’s life will be held on Saturday March 27, 2010 at 1:00 PM at the Cedar Valley Mennonite Church, 32840 Janzen Street, Mission, BC. Arrangements entrusted to Woodlawn Mission Funeral Home 604-826-9548
