Dalton recall campaign cancelled BY CAROL AUN

Mission Record

The recall campaign against Maple Ridge-Mission MLA Marc Dalton is over and the first-term politician can now focus his energy on representing the two communities. Organizers who led the Done With Dalton campaign had 60 days to collect 14,882 names of people who were on the 2009 voters list by May 9, but abandoned the effort after the provincial government announced a June 24 mail-in vote on the HST last week. The

original referendum date was in September. “The anti-HST petition got us the referendum and a new premier. The recalls helped us get an expedited referendum date and a promise of equal funding. Now we need to focus our energies on using

truth to counter the lobbying of the Liberals and big business,” campaign organizer Corisa Bell said in a Sunday news release. Dalton said he didn’t take the recall personally because he knows what he has done for Mission and Maple Ridge, but notes it has taken

time away from his work. Recall supporters have accused Dalton of not fighting for his communities and has allowed health care cuts to continue, particularly at Mission Memorial Hospital. The former teacher insists he has been advocating for the hospital in other ways, like having discussions with the health minister and the health authority. “There’s ongoing discussions about how to utilize MMH,” said Dalton. “Some people have the notion of a general hospital doing all things, but that’s not the most efficient way.” See MAJORITY Page 4

An excavator was brought in to help firefighters extinguish spot fires after one of the buildings at Green River Log Sales caught fire Saturday morning. Mission Fire/Rescue Service was called to the Broadway Avenue cedar mill just before 10 a.m., and found heavy smoke and flames shooting from one of the large buildings facing the Fraser River, said Chief Ian Fitzpatrick. The building and contents had been auctioned off the week previous, he said, and welding crews had stopped working on that building Friday evening. The fire was not suspicious, said Fitzpatrick. Thirty firefighters from station one and three worked to extinguish the blaze for about two hours, and an excavator was used to get to the last sections of burning material. Some firefighters were on scene until approximately 5:30 p.m.

DOWNTOWN RESIDENTS FORM ASSOC The Mission Downtown Area Residents’ Association was created about a year ago and the burgeoning group is hoping to attract owners and renters to join their ranks.

JUSTICE DENIED: A Black Press special series investigating the congestion and delays in B.C.’s legal system

Victims in limbo suffer through courts BY JEFF NAGEL

”

Black Press

When it’s delayed for a long time, normally we lose our victims. They go back to their husbands. They get repeatedly assaulted. It’s like a revolving door

ateful words gradually became hurtful blows. She endured weeks of it before summoning the strength to walk out the door and turn to the police, transition houses and courts for help. Punjabi-speaking counsellors and police officers were supportive and she prayed for a quick resolution, knowing she would face enormous pressure from her husband’s family not to shame their son. But months later, after numerous court adjournments, frustration and tears — but no trial — she gave up. She went back to her abusive spouse. Sad stories such as this are becoming more common in B.C.’s congested justice system. Spousal assault cases are high priority and aren’t at risk of being thrown out due to excessive delays like many impaired driving cases and some other criminal prosecutions. But advocates say the time to get to trial is getting longer. And the wait can spawn tragic consequences. “When it’s delayed for a long time, normally we lose our victims,” Surrey Women’s Centre program manager Maryan Majedi said. “They go back to their husbands. They get repeatedly assaulted. It’s like a revolving door.” Domestic abuse cases are supposed to move through the courts within three months. But in some centres, that time period often stretches to four or six months. And Majedi notes that’s after time has elapsed for the police to investigate and prosecutors to approve and lay charges — often bringing the wait for a trial to a year following the assault. Court delays are particularly difficult for South Asian women, said Manbeen Saini, a community-based victim services worker in Surrey. “The family is wanting her to drop charges, not even understanding that she can’t

Delays in the courts leave abused women waiting longer and facing more pressure from families to return to violent spouses. PHOTO ILLUSTRATION

do that,” Saini said, explaining that prosecutors decide to pursue legal action. “The longer it stays in the court system, the more pressure she’s going to get.” And when battered women give up on the courts, Saini said, it’s usually forever. “They say they’re never going to the police again,” she said. “I hear it all the time. “So what message are we sending out? What justice is this?” ••••• Longer delays for all sorts of court proceedings are the result of cuts in the number of provincial court judges in B.C., coupled with shortages of sheriffs, clerks and other support staff. Samiran Lakshman, president of the B.C. Crown Counsel Association, calls the situation a “deliberate” and “systematic” stripping of the critical resources the justice system needs to function — a policy that increasingly exacts a human toll. Prosecutors worry not just that abused women will go back to violent partners, but also that memories of sexually abused children will

fade, their testimony will be less persuasive, and offenders will go free. Families are also waiting longer for the courts to decide matters such as which parent will have custody of the children, finalizing divorces and setting child support payments. “It’s heartbreaking for the parents of children in foster care,” said Kamloops family lawyer Brenda Muliner. She represents a couple in Nelson fighting to regain custody of their children who were apprehended by child protection workers in 2007. It took a year and a half to get a date for trial to decide permanent custody — September 2011 — by which time the kids will have been in government custody for four years. “It’s staggering,” Muliner said. “And it’s going to get worse.” Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth, is also concerned. “These delays are really tarnishing the reputation of

our justice system for British Columbia’s families,” she said. Child protection workers from the B.C. Ministry of

JUSTICE

A Black Press special series investigating the congestion and delays in B.C.’s legal system. This week: VICTIMS IN LIMBO

Children and Family Development can knock on a door and remove children from a home based on evidence that is often disputed. That power exists, TurpelLafond said, on the understanding parents have a speedy right to challenge the removal, with the courts either upholding it and issuing a temporary custody order or else returning wrongfully apprehended children.

Child protection applications are supposed to be heard within three months. But Turpel-Lafond said the average wait in B.C. is more than four months and she’s aware of waits of eight months and longer at courts in Surrey, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Prince George and parts of Vancouver Island. New hearings in those areas are being scheduled in 2012 — and those are in best-case scenarios where parents quickly obtain legal aid, another major trouble spot. “We’re dealing with a system that makes a mockery of that timeline,” TurpelLafond said. “Childhood is short. It’s 988 weeks. If you spend 50 weeks waiting for a hearing because you can’t get a court date, that is just completely unacceptable.” Families sometimes give up and move on, she said, and the child falls permanently into the custody of government. In custody battles between parents, TurpelLafond said, delays mean child view reports — which guide the court on how much time kids want to spend with each parent — are often a year out of date when the hearing gets to court, by which time children’s wishes may have changed. The need for speed may be just as important when youths are charged with crimes. Consequences of actions simply aren’t as meaningful for young people if it takes a year or longer to get to trial, she said, calling the youth criminal justice system “remarkably backlogged.” The victims of youth crime are often other young people, who also end up

waiting longer for closure. Provincial court judges have recently signalled family court delays have grown unacceptable and have directed a shifting of court time, which could come at the cost of criminal matters. In other words, even more delays. ••••• Even animals are paying the price for congestion in the courts. Family and friends of 12-year-old cancer survivor Max Rose were outraged last month when the man who shot and killed the boy’s Jack Russell terrier puppy Seymour walked away unpunished. The case was thrown out of Campbell River court when the judge ruled the 19month delay before the case went to trial unreasonably violated the rights of the accused. “It’s pretty upsetting,” father Nick Rose said. “We’re getting a first-hand look at our legal system and it’s pretty pathetic.” Animal cruelty investigators seize abused pets and charge owners in cases of maltreatment. If convicted, the law allows a potential lifetime ban on animal ownership. But officers are often unable to stop those accused of cruelty from acquiring more animals or abusing others in their care while a case grinds through the system toward an eventual trial. “The time in between you’re concerned about other animals that may be in their custody,” said Marcie Moriarty, the B.C. SPCA’s manager of cruelty investigations. “These delays can literally be life and death for animals.”

Looking at provincial courts by the numbers: Longest delays (as of June 2010, from Justice Delayed report) • 47 courthouses scheduling child protection cases beyond three-month legislated standard as of mid-2010. • 5.2-month average wait for a half-day child

protection hearing. • 44-per-cent increase in length of time to get to trial for half-day child protection cases from 2009-2010.

He has also spoken to law enforcement agencies about civil forfeiture, in addition to criminal seizures, to deal with marijuana grow operations and other criminal activities. It has been in use since 1996, and police are only now becoming more familiar with it, said Dalton, noting the civil process is easier and quicker than criminal forfeiture. As an MLA, Dalton is also involved with committees and internal committee work. There’s a lot of work to do, he said. “I don’t work for five days and have two days off.” It doesn’t matter which side of the fence people are on, they can always come talk to me, said Dalton. • The question asked in the mail-in ballot will be the same as that set for the referendum: “Are you in favour of extinguishing the HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) and reinstating the PST (Provincial Sales Tax) in conjunction with the GST (Goods and Services Tax)?

Fed election begins online BY MONISHA MARTINS Black Press

Instead of rolling out a fleet of pickup trucks on Monday and peppering every available patch of grass with election signs, Peter Tam hired a pair of social marketing gurus. The Green Party candidate is gearing up to “explode” online. “We are not going to pollute the environment with all kinds of junk out there,” he said. “Here’s a way we can shift to a more environmentally friendly way of getting our messages out.” The 41st federal election, or #elxn41, is one that’s being fought through social media, a platform that has the potential to reach more than 16 million Canadians with the click of a mouse. After the election was called Saturday, the hashtag #elxn41 was soon a trending topic on Twitter across the country.

Shortt and his partner Jennifer are getting ready to launch Tam’s Green campaign via a website, blog, YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. ‘Hey, I’m heading off to the store’ The Green Party isn’t the only party in the riding tapping into social media phenomena.

Weekend TrainBus service cut by June Weekend TrainBus service is being eliminated, and fewer trips will happen between Mission and downtown Vancouver on weekdays starting June 20. TransLink and the District of Mission reviewed the service, looking at ridership, fare revenue and the increased subsidy required to maintain the current schedule, said a district press release. It was done to address operating costs and service efficiency. Every Monday to Friday, the highway coach buses follow the West Coast Express (WCE) route, stopping at all stations along the line, with two westbound trips each morning into downtown Vancouver plus two early afternoon and three evening eastbound return trips back to Mission. In 2008, TrainBus began offering three round trips from Mission on Saturdays and two on Sundays. The decision to cancel weekend service was based on low additional fare revenue from those trips and the need to focus available funding on TrainBus’ main role of supplementing WCE weekday commuter services. These changes take effect June 20 and will not affect the WCE commuter rail service.

OPINION

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

Recall recalled The Done with Dalton recall campaign has been recalled. Instead, organizers are going to concentrate their efforts on battling the HST leading up to the June 24 mail-in vote. But that only proves further that the true motivation behind the recall campaign had nothing to do with the performance of individual Liberal MLAs, only that petitioners were picking on the most vulnerable ones, like Marc Dalton, who won the last provincial election by just 68 votes. Most curious, local recall organizers didn’t know how many signatures they had when they decided to fold up their tents. Of course, they said the campaign was going well. B.C. is the only province in Canada with recall legislation, and maybe now we know why: while an available and potentially useful tool, like a hammer it can be used for malice. It has yet to be successful. Voters in Dalton’s riding of Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission will still get to show their contentment with the job he has done in the next election. Rhetoric will persist throughout the lead up to the HST mail-in and an election, and the governing Liberals, new leader and all, will be held to account. But there will be other, more pressing issues to debate than just the HST; Christy Clark can’t write a cheque to everyone and expect there to be none. Until then, we will be happily distracted by the federal election, then the municipal ones. The provincial Liberals, for now, have bought themselves some time. Politics is a shrewd business, as evidenced by the looming Liberal-NDP-Bloc coalition in the federal realm, and the provincial recall attempts. So pay attention. Vote for what really matters to you. - Maple Ridge News

That ‘70s political show, again A s the federal parliament slid once again into partisan mayhem, former finance minister John Manley was on CBC television, making me wish he would bring his voice of reason back to Ottawa. Liberal and NDP supporters had been taking turns with accusations that the Conservatives’ corporate tax cuts only help the rich. “That’s stuff that we used to hear in the ’70s,” Manley said. “I thought that people had grown away from that.” He then patiently explained that the key holdings in most peoples’ retirement plans are bank, petroleum and other blue-chip stocks. His Liberal government’s strategy of competing for business investment in a global economy has wisely been continued under Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Yet much of our political discourse at all levels of government still imagines class warfare between tycoons in silk top hats and a ragged, powerless peasantry. For B.C. voters, 2011 is shaping up as the most politically empowered year ever.

The May 2 federal election now gets in line with a byelection for Premier Christy Clark, a referendum on the harmonized sales tax, municipal elections in November and potentially, an early provincial election as well. This fourth federal election in seven years could have had one benefit. But Clark did not see fit to abandon the harebrained scheme to rush through the HST referendum in June, and now the To B.C. government risks losing the tax argument amid all the noise. If the HST vote had been left to September, more people might come to appreciate that taxes on business investment and income are going out of style. An Angus Reid poll came out last week finding that one third of B.C. residents would now vote to keep the HST, compared to 54 per cent who would take B.C. back to the 1970s.

Another contest being overshadowed is the B.C. NDP leadership, and that’s a ’70s show as well. Raising the minimum wage to $10.25 isn’t good enough. Candidate Nicholas Simons tried to raise his profile by suggesting that it should be hiked 50 per cent, to $12. Heck, why not raise it to $20? If you’re stuck in the ’70s and can’t comprehend the downside of stateimposed prosperity, why not just make poverty history? m Federal NDP leader Jack Layton informed an anxious nation that he wouldn’t support the Conservative budget because it doesn’t “lift all seniors out of poverty” or “create” enough doctors so everyone can have one. Cuba has “created” plenty of doctors. Mind you, they get paid $25 a month in addition to their food ration cards, so perhaps that socialist Utopia should raise its minimum wage.

B.C. Views

Fletcher

I watched another ’70s show last week, attending the B.C. Teachers’ Federation convention at the Victoria Conference Centre. Before Education Minister George Abbott arrived, delegates passed a typically self-righteous resolution demanding all levels of government immediately get rid of poverty. How? Create poverty reduction plans with measurable goals. Once Abbott arrived to hold out the olive branch, the BCTF’s usual demands resumed. More teachers, more support staff and raises of 10 per cent or more. Does anyone on the BCTF executive know how to synthesize information? Can’t they see a connection between the big raises and staff increases they demand and what’s available for other programs? There’s a clue to our stagnant political debate. It’s largely formed in public schools. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

YOUR VIEWS Several spots could use roundabouts Editor, The Record: Re: Roundabouts should have been installed along Cedar Street, March 24 edition. I am in complete agreement with Stephen McBride who wrote to recommend roundabouts at the intersections in the Cedar Valley development area of Cedar Street. From my experience with the road system in the United Kingdom, roundabouts are a very simple and highly effective method of regulating traffic flow at intersections. They are cheap, durable, can be sympathetically landscaped and do not consume any power. They are by their nature clearly visible and blowing through a roundabout is far less likely than running red

lights or stop signs. Collisions at roundabouts typically involve far fewer high energy and therefore more dangerous Tbone impacts as a direct result of the angles at which vehicles approach. Roundabout controlled intersections are inherently safer and require only a tiny amount of extra mental engagement by drivers. While there is some adjustment for drivers not comfortable with them, they are very simple to use as long as drivers obey the rules and follow very basic common sense. These fixtures would be absolutely ideal for a road such as Cedar Street, which currently experiences light traffic flow, but which will in the future no doubt undergo

further increases in use as the developments west of Mission are undertaken. Since the installations of traffic lights appear to be all but complete, I assume it is now too late for Cedar Street, but perhaps the powers that be could put some more thought into this issue during the renovation of other parts of our fair city’s infrastructure. A few intersections that spring immediately to mind are Cade Barr and Best Avenue, Stave Lake Street and Best, Dewdney Trunk Road and Ferndale Avenue, Seventh Avenue and Murray Street and Seventh and Hurd Street. Here’s hoping! Leo Simmons Mission

Three years have passed Hydro sites and it’s time for inquest need upkeep Editor, The Record: Re: Former Mission Mountie lost one day’s pay, March 24 edition. Never let it be said that the RCMP don’t know how to discipline their members. Sorry, that should read reprimand. Wow, one day’s pay and a letter. One would hope that Const./Cpl. White has by now recovered from this “significant punishment.” Whatever happened to the police motto of “to serve and protect?” I guess in this case you could add “only if we have to get out of our car.” RCMP apologist Insp. Tim Shields says that this “has been devastating to us” and that the RCMP “will learn from this.” Nowhere in his media briefing did I hear any reference to the victims and how tragically devastating it is for them. One wonders if anyone, and in particular Const./Cpl. White, has ever expressed any kind of sensitivity or apologized to the victims’ families. Once again it appears to be the classic cover your butt approach. It is now almost three years since this tragic incident and the coroner’s inquest is not anywhere on the horizon. Get going and hold the inquest. J. Pratt Mission

Editor, The Record: I’ve been studying BC Hydro’s plan for upgrading their hydro dams. It’s a good plan and the public should support these upgrades even if it costs us all a tad more on our hydro bills. Think about it: The last time BC Hydro built a new dam was back in the mid-1980s. The other dams are way older than that. Do people think they will last forever if we don’t upgrade them every once in a while? Donald Leung Burnaby

Seniors have been neglected by politicians Editor, The Record: As communities are quickly approaching the crossroads of needed changes, the progress, or lack thereof, will be derived from a lack of shared vision, awareness and leadership. Indeed, the lack of political will and commitment to effect and manage reforms and change will flow from a leader’s vision. A major failing of progress is the divide and conquer methods many current leaders engage in to stifle new people with vision and ideas, to dissuade them from fostering new or more effective approaches, instead clinging to the status-quo. Often in an effort to preserve power bases at any cost, a denial or failure to admit change is needed. Progress is possible, but it may mean to some they failed, and this is untenable thinking, particularly to autocratic, narcissistic persons, from entitlement eras. Successive councils have failed to achieve results, and now 30-year amenity plans are still being bandied about with no apparent political will or concrete timelines. High among the failures is the segment of seniors who are neglected. The elders of society who through taxes and contribution to our community have largely created today’s infrastructures. But leaders just turn their backs upon these fine people,

so much so, Mission seniors lack a fully functional, seven-day a week, seniors activity centre, an amenity enjoyed by most municipalities in B.C. Mission needs a facility like this. Seniors have largely themselves to blame at the lack of progress, due to no vision and leadership, as the very people who should be pro-active, remain, like council leadership, profoundly moribund. A small but symptomatic example of ineffective leadership, a new board director raised the spectrum of the cramped small space being used as an office, and queried why couldn’t the adjoining small office be used. The response from another board member was to dispel any thought of daring to bother council, instead claiming, council have been helpful providing this space and besides, “it is small but functional.” The challenge is for the community to become aware, to speak out and demand a more inclusive community emerge, one that recognizes the massive contributions seniors have made to our society. It can start with a simple step, designate the small north/east office, with e-mail connection, as a seniors general office. George Evens Mission

Arnold Muir accused Mission council of stifling business opportunities and asked politicians to re-consider the anti-drive-thru bylaw created two years ago. It was done without consultation and has caused more harm than good, said Muir during a March 21 council meeting when he appeared as a delegation. Some councillors believe drive-thrus create safety issues and are an environmental hazard, but Muir questions how many pedestrian injuries or fatalities have actually occurred. He also said if drivethrus didn’t exist, vehicles would be congesting parking lots and as a result, larger parking lots would have to be created. “This is a busy world and not everyone has time to line up inside a fast food restaurant,” Muir added. It’s not easy for seniors and families with young children to get in and out of their vehicles. Drive-thrus are a convenience and consumers should have that choice, he argued. Mission Western Developments is a victim of this bylaw as it received

approval-in-principle in 2007, but after working through environmental issues with Fisheries and Oceans Canada, found the rules changed in 2009. “Why not work with businesses to make it economically viable?” he asked. Last November, Mission council voted 4-3 to consider drive-thru restaurants at specific sites, allowing the proposed development, owned by MWD, at Lougheed Highway and Cedar Valley Connector to proceed. But MWD is going through the entire process again because the developers changed their application in January this year, said Barclay Pitkethly, Mission’s deputy director of planning. Instead of working through issues around Windebank Creek, MWD wants to sever that part of the property and donate it to a group that will preserve it. In addition to dealing with environmental issues, the ministry of transportation also has to be consulted because the property is on a provincial highway. The new building plan includes two drive-thrus, and the issue is expected to be back before council later this year.

Mission saves 2.25% BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

B.C. cut electricity consumption by 1.8 per cent during Earth Hour Saturday evening, and Pitt Meadows topped the province with a 5.7 per cent reduction. B.C. Hydro officials said they were pleased by the response to the hour of conservation for climate change awareness, now in its fourth year here. Province-wide, 117 megawatt hours of electricity were saved as many residents switched off lights, TVs and other appliances and instead lit candles or went for a walk. The reduction was nearly twice as much as in 2010, when a 1.04 per cent cut was measured, and equivalent to turning off 7.8 million 15-watt compact fluorescent bulbs. Maple Ridge was the secondbest Metro Vancouver city in the Earth Hour rankings, with a 3.9 per cent power saving. It was followed by Port Coquitlam at three per cent, North Vancouver City at 2.85 per cent and Coquitlam, Mission and North Vancouver District all at 2.25 per cent.

The Mission Downtown Area Residents’ Association is accepting members who own or rent between North Railway Avenue and Seventh Avenue, and Hurd Street and Fraser River Heritage Park. RECORD FILE PHOTO

MDARA looking for members Mission Record

It started as a small group gathering in Mission Library just over a year ago. Some of the more regular attendees decided to band together, register as a non-profit and actively work to represent residents in a wide geographical area of the district. Welcome to the Mission Downtown Area Residents’ Association. One of the principal drivers responsible for bringing the group to life was Kate Ross, said MDARA president Roger Dowker. The members decided after a value clarification meeting that they would register as an association rather than a ratepayers’ organization because they wanted renters to join. “We wanted to be involved in the community rather than just calling city hall and complaining about stuff,” said Dowker. MDARA encompasses the area defined as Hurd Street to Fraser River Heritage Park, and North Railway Avenue to Seventh Avenue. “We wanted to help create a vibrant downtown that was inclusive and respectful,” he said. MDARA currently boasts a membership of around 20 people, and wants to be a voice in what’s happening throughout downtown. The association has been asked for input on

the buskers’ discussion by the District of Mission. Council has been toying with the idea of allowing performers to work along First Avenue. MDARA is conducting

vidence of an old orchard, a shaded slope for games or picnics, and a variety of play equipment provide a quiet area for residents of an older residential neighbourhood at Third Avenue and Ryan Street to enjoy a spring outing. The park is named after Walter Fenn, a frequent entrant in the annual Agricultural Fair. He entered flower, vegetable and fruit categories and consistently won prizes. Fenn arrived in Mission from England in 1941 at the age of 11; his family settled first in the Cedar Valley area, and he attended Mission Senior High School. When he left school, his

main interest was radio, and he took an electronics course in Vancouver, hoping to find work as a shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radio operator. Like many others, he found jobs hard to come by in the 1930s, and returned home to Mission. He worked for 14 years for W. J. Windebank, first as an apprentice and later doing Sha repairs. He went into business for himself with one assistant, and years later moved across the street to the former Desbrisay Department Store

building on Main Street (now First Avenue). The new store expanded to offer a complete line of furniture. Within a short time, he was hiring additional staff, including Jake Rempel for appliance and electrical installations, Fred Inglis as bookkeeper and appliance sales person, Jim Gruber, a ron television and radio technician, and Cece Rawlins for furniture and appliance sales. Although known as a quiet and reserved man,

Fenn contributed much to the community at All Saintsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Anglican Church. He was also on the board of the Agricultural Society, and at Mission Memorial Hospital. Fenn Electric provided sales of furniture, appliances and repair services extending from Harrison Mills to Ruskin. He had a lot of confidence in Mission and felt local residents deserved diversified shopping facilities. In a 1940 article in The Fraser Valley Record, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very close to large centres of Vancouver and New Westminster; we feel that we are able to offer similar, and in most cases, the same merchandise at the same prices as Vancouver, and we are able to offer the additional feature of being on the spot to back up guarantees and warranties and do immediate servicing.â&#x20AC;? The local chamber of commerce still promotes these sentiments. Fenn Park may be known mostly to the families in the neighbourhood, but the park reminds us all to honour an early business and community leader. Walter Fenn passed away in 1956. Sharon Syrette is writing a number of columns on Mission parks and trails history in recognition of BC Heritage Weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme of parks and nature preserves.

Mission Record

Mission opera singer Dustin Hiles rubbed elbows with Ottawa politicians last week when he performed at a post budget dinner March 22 for Peter Milliken, speaker of the House of Commons and his guests. Politics and opera are the two great loves of Hiles’ life and he said it was a great experience combining the two that night. Hiles moved to Toronto a couple of years ago to pursue a singing career and was on contract with

the Canadian Opera Company when he met the speaker after the last election in 2008. “We became friends,” said Hiles, who lists Milliken as one of his mentors. The evening started off with O Canada and Hiles sang Canadian folk songs throughout the evening. “It’s such a pleasure to have met so many people,” said Hiles, who plans to return to Mission in June when his contract expires. Hiles misses the B.C. rain, but it is also here where he plans to launch his political career.

“I’d like to run for mayor,” said the 22-year-old. “It’s something I’m considering.” Hiles says he’s friends with Mission’s current mayor, James Atebe, but he believes more needs to be done and the community must move in a new direction. Property taxes are shamefully high, and council needs to help secure jobs and bring more businesses here, said Hiles. While Hiles might be pursuing a new career, he isn’t abandoning his singing roots as he still hopes to perform at private functions. “I love singing opera.”

Remembering Steve Soccer teams from throughout the region and beyond converged on Mission last weekend for the annual Steve Bonnett Memorial Youth Soccer Tournament. Approximately 60 boys and girls teams came out, taking up every available field space at the Sports Park and other Mission playing fields.

Live fights draw the crowds Boxer Cody Brown edged Kamloops’ Nikko Ippolito by two points to earn a win in Mission Saturday night. The 14-year-old Canadian champion fighter put together tight combinations and employed solid defense to score the win, and earn fight of the night honours. Mission City Boxing Club hosted eight bouts last weekend at their London Avenue facility, with the first fight pitting Mission’s Tyson Volker against Justis McKay-Topley. Volker lost the three round decision fight. Eighteen-year-old Sean McIntosh came out swinging and laid waste to Kamloops’ Josh Slager. For more information on the club call 604-826-1455.

Race day sign up possible for weekend Hillstomp The Mission Hillstompers are hosting a new event this weekend, the Heritage Park to Hatzic run. The April 3 event features a 10 km and 6 km route, which

includes new trails through Mission’s Fraser River Heritage Park and wends its way through the quiet rural area of Hatzic, with views of Westminster Abbey and

Mount Baker. All race proceeds benefit the Mission Hospice Society. Runners and walkers can register on race day between 7 and 8:30 a.m.

The run starts at 9 a.m. at Heritage Park Secondary School, 33700 Prentis Ave. For more information visit www.missionhillstomp.com or call 604-826-4721.

The Mission Golf and Country Club (MGCC) has been an institution for the past half-century in this municipality, and celebrations are being planned. Jim Shaw’s father, Dr. Ed Shaw, was one of the founding members of the Nelson Street site, and he’s hoping as many fellow local golf aficionados will be able to attend the members-only April 9 gala. “Golf is built to be a lifelong sport,” said Shaw, who literally grew up on the club greens and is the club president. “The nice thing about golf is that you can be competitive your whole life.” In the late 1950s, Ed Shaw, who served as a dentist in Mission for decades, would regularly head out of town to play golf with his Rotarians buddies like Bob Fletcher and Toke Meeker, said Shaw. Sitting around one day, a group set their minds to building a local club. Private funding was arranged to purchase 50 acres of land from Mr. Nelson, he said. And the money came from nongolfers as well. “There were quite a few citizens of Mission who didn’t play but wanted to see the golf course here,” said Shaw. The organizing committee took out a loan to cover the remaining start-up costs, hired an architect, and by 1961, Missionites were playing

golf in the same spot as today. A donation of raw logs from the Mission Tree Farm was sent to Albert McMahon, who donated his mill’s equipment to shape the lumber. The finished logs were used to build the clubhouse, which also sported cedar shakes donated by Jack Davidson Sr., said Shaw. There were some costs, but most of the labour and materials were contributed by the community, and in 1962, the clubhouse officially opened. It has regularly been a struggle to make ends meet through the decades, and Shaw said at those times numerous residents would put up hard-earned cash to purchase lifetime memberships. “We have always appreciated those taking extra money out to support the course,” he noted. The popular nine-hole club was never built to be a championship course, but even with dramatic improvements in clubs and balls, “it still stands up as a challenging course for amateurs. It’s hard to score well here.” Shaw is asking for any residents who have golf course stories or photographs to share leading up to the April 9 event to drop them off at MGCC, attention Mark Anderson, or to e-mail them to missiongolf@shaw.ca. All submissions must be in by April 5, and if you drop off photos, please include a return address.

Check fish tackle and equipment S

pring is finally here. I, for one, hope the recent warm weather is not another false start to the season and fishing we have been waiting for. Now is the time to give the boat and motor a once over, and while you are at it check the axle bearing on that boat trailer. When is the last time you cleaned and lubed your reels, or checked the eyelets on your rods for wear? A small amount of preventative maintenance now could save disappointment when you have that trophy on the line. How is the tackle supply? There are some good sales out there right now. It is also time to renew that fishing license, which means we are looking at the best weekend of the year to go steelheading. Here’s an inside tip: Many anglers don’t Je bother to renew their license and tags until the May long weekend, leaving our rivers less congested until freshet. Spring is also the time to start thinking about local fishing derbies and family-related sport fishing activities. Mark your calendars for the Greg Clark Memorial, and Cultus Lake Family Fishing Derby on Father’s Day weekend. The West Coast Bass Anglers open tournament is April 16 at the Marsh. Details at West Coast Bass Anglers Free Forum at the Maple Ridge Outdoor Lifestyles and Adventure Show, April 29, 30, and May 1, at Planet Ice, Maple Ridge.

The report Fishing on our Lower Mainland lakes is good. Late mornings through mid-afternoons are best. Try Chironomid, Bloodworm, Big Black, Woolly Bugger, Micro Leach, Sixpack, Dragonfly Nymph, Halfback, Doc Spratley, Baggy shrimp, or Zulu. The Fraser River and sloughs are good for cutthroat and dolly varden. For cutthroat try Rolled Muddler, Mickey Finn, Eggo, Tied Down Minnow, Epoxy Minnow, Flesh Fly, Professor, Lioness, Coachman, Zulu, Chez Nymph. For dolly Varden try: Large (#4 to #1) Eggo, Dolly Whacker, Bucktail, Epoxy Minnow, Big Black, Muddler, or Zonker. The Vedder River is good for steelhead, dolly varden and rainbow, by the weekend. ff For steelhead try big Black, Popsicle, Steelhead Nightmare, Polar shrimp, GP, Thor, Squamish Poacher, Kaufmann Stone, Purple Peril, or Eggo. For rainbow try: Rolled Muddler, Eggo, Flesh Fly, Kaufmann Black Stone, Zulu, Chez Nymph, Big Black, or Renegade. The Stave River is fair to good for rainbow and cutthroat. The Chehalis River is good for steelhead and cutthroat. The Harrison River is good for cutthroat, and rainbow. You can find more at “The Reel Life Press” by Jeff Weltz.

This information includes a draft background report which summarizes the analysis, population and growth projections, infrastructure (roads, water, sewer, drainage, etc.) and parkland development programs, draft calculations and proposed DCC rates, and speciﬁc policy recommendations in a number of areas. Municipal staff and the District’s engineering consultants will be in attendance at this meeting to receive comments and input. Copies of the draft background report and further information on the DCC review may be viewed on-line at www.mission.ca/dcc or obtained by contacting the District of Mission Finance Department at 604-820-3717.

Mission is initiating a Community Energy and Emissions Plan (CEEP), funded by the district, BC Hydro and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. The purpose of implementing a CEEP is to assist the district with meeting its community greenhouse gas (GHG) emission targets that have been set in its Official Community Plan. The CEEP will present a comprehensive long-term framework to achieve reductions in the use of energy and to reduce GHG emissions within the community.

The CEEP will be integrated into all other municipal planning and infrastructure documents (ie. Official Community Plan, local area plans, economic development strategies, Environmental Charter). The CEEP needs community input to ensure it becomes an effective planning document for the district. As such, community members are invited to submit their names for consideration to participate on the stakeholder committee. Three stakeholder meetings over the next four months are planned to work with the consultant to

Stave Lake Water Supply & Treatment Project Council Presentation April 4, 2011 6:30 p.m. The business case for the Stave Lake water Supply and Treatment Project will be presented to both Mission and Abbotsford Councils on April 4, 2011. The District of Mission presentation will take place on April 4, 2011 at 6:30 in the Council Chambers at 8465 Stave Lake Street, Mission, BC. The Regular Council Meeting will follow this presentation. The presentation is to address growing demands on our water supply and the Abbotsford-Mission Water & Sewer Commission (AMWSC) is undertaking the development of Stave Lake as a new water supply source for the District of Mission and City of Abbotsford. Approximately $300 million is required for this project, which is beyond the AMWSC’s capacity to develop alone. Cost-sharing partnerships and a variety of funding agreements are needed for the project to proceed.

The disposition of the property will be to Mapleview Enterprises for the purchase price of $6,800.00. Further information about the subject property and the terms of sale please contact Kelly Ridley, Deputy Director of Corporate Administration at (604) 820-3705.

identify reasonable strategies to recommend to council for inclusion in the plan. We are actively looking for a variety of community members that are interested in sitting on this committee. Interested in having your name considered? Please contact Mike Younie, manager of environmental services, District of Mission by April 8, 2011 by phone 604820-3798 or e-mail myounie@ mission.ca. Please include a brief description of yourself and your interest in the CEEP.

Connect event happening April 13

A business case analysis has been conducted that reviews the different ways the project can be delivered, including the traditional approach used by the AMWSC, as well as publicprivate partnership approaches. The business case will be presented to the Mission and Abbotsford Councils on April 4, 2011. If Mission and Abbotsford Councils agree on April 4, 2011 that a public-private partnership offers the best value they may submit an application for funding to the Federal Government for consideration under the P3 Canada Fund for up to 25 per cent funding for the project, or approximately $71.2 million dollars. If this happens, Mission and Abbotsford will seek the assent of the electors in the fall 2011 as the next step in moving forward with the process.

Burning only permitted in rural areas

PUBLIC MEETINGS OF COUNCIL District of Mission Council wishes to invite the public to attend open meetings and regular meetings of Council. The following meetings are scheduled for the weeks of

March 31, 2011 to April 14, 2011. Now that spring is on its way, many people are anxious to do some yard cleanup of branches, twigs and tree prunings, including burning the resulting debris. The district encourages all residents to recycle and compost whenever possible. If your property is located within the garbage pick up area of Mission you are not permitted to burn yard debris at anytime. Yard debris (leaves, twigs, etc.) may be placed in compostable plastic bags, paper bags or in 80-L bins with orange stickers (stickers available free of charge at city hall). Small branches (less than five centimetres in diameter) may be set out in tied bundles not exceeding 1.2 m in length. No bag, bin or bundle may exceed 20 kg in weight. If your property is located outside the garbage pick up area you are permitted to burn yard debris only between April 1 to April 30 (30 days) in the spring, and in the fall from Nov. 1 to Nov. 30 (30 days), in accordance with the Burning Bylaw. Only one fire is permitted and may not exceed three feet by three feet, and must be supervised at all times. Any burning outside that time frame is a contravention of the bylaw, and subject to penalty. Burning of construction debris, demolition waste,

garbage or land clearing debris (large burn piles) is strictly prohibited in the district at anytime. Further information on burning can be found on the District of Mission website at www.mission.ca.

BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Silverdale musician Skye Brooks captured his first Juno Award this past weekend in Toronto with his band Fond of Tigers. “It was very unexpected,” said 37-year-old Brooks about the win on Tuesday. The Junos recognize mostly mainstream music and Fond of Tigers isn’t commercially oriented, he explained. Despite the shock when they heard their name called, five of the seven members of the Lower Mainland band were happy to make their way to the stage in the Air Canada Centre to collect the instrumental album of the year award for their third album Continent and Western, released last year. Two of the band members couldn’t be there because they were touring with other groups in which they’re involved. In fact, it’s not uncommon for a member or two to be missing when Fond of Tigers plays because all of them are involved with other projects. Brooks, who grew up in Mission and graduated from Hatzic secondary, is a member of two other bands, Inhabitants and Copilots, and he is

also a side drummer for singers. Brooks has been playing drums since he was 13 years old, and he is also an accomplished guitar player, singer and composer. “We all like playing different kinds of music and want to experience as much as we can,” noted Brooks. “I learn something from every situation I play in.” Sometimes it’s tricky lining up all the band members because everyone

has a busy schedule, but that’s all part of being a professional, said Brooks. “You have to do a lot to make enough money to make a living.” Fond of Tigers formed in 2004 in Vancouver. All the members met at a downtown club called Sugar Refinery, which doesn’t exist anymore. It was a dream venue for musicians because there was good food, a great atmosphere and open-minded booking, according to Brooks, who lived

in the city for close to eight years before buying the house he grew up in a few years ago in Silverdale. Brooks travels all year with different bands, but these days he’s playing at venues across Canada. The Junoaward winning band usually tours once or twice a year across the country and plays at the Vancouver Jazz Festival every year.

Mission Record

Legendary Canadian rockers April Wine are hitting the road and heading west. The four-man band will be in Mission for a show at the Clarke on April 15, and it’s a performance at least one member is looking forward to. Speaking from his home in Montreal a few weeks ago, Brian Greenway, a member of the band since 1977, says theatres are his favourite venues to perform at because they are built for entertainment and the sound is better than in an arena. Greenway adds they will try to put together the best show possible, but revealed little about it. “We’ve changed the show a bit and brought back some older tunes.” Songs from the 1970s which the band hasn’t played in a long time, like You Won’t Dance With Me, will be on the list, but likely won’t be as loud.

April Wine will be playing at the Clarke Theatre on April 15. SUBMITTED PHOTO

“We’ve turned it down,” said Greenway, after reminiscing about the thunderous sounds that used to come from the stage years ago. “We’re not as loud as we used to be.” But make no mistake — April Wine is still a rock band and the men can still bounce around the stage.

The gradual reduction in noise came about through a combination of factors, such as changing band members and age. We have four or five generations of fans, said the guitarist, pleased that followers know the words to many of their songs.

“It’s a sign of longevity.” Some dedicated listeners have been with the band since it formed in 1969 and April Wine’s popularity isn’t waning. They tour every year and did 62 shows in 2010. “I like being on the road,” Greenway shared. “It’s like running away; you don’t have to collect your mail.” Greenway knows he’s fortunate he’s been playing with the same band for close to 35 years, despite an eight-year hiatus in the late 1980s. “When you like something, you don’t want it to stop,” he said. “We just played and played and played and people kept wanting to hear us.” April Wine will be playing at the Clarke Theatre on April. 15. Tickets are now available at all Ticketmaster locations, online at www.ticketmaster.ca or by calling 604-280-4444. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show begins at 7:30 p.m. For more information about April Wine visit www.aprilwine.ca.

The Mousetrap opens Friday Opening Nite Theatre brings Agatha Christie’s most well-known play The Mousetrap to Mission this weekend. The show opens April 1. During a blizzard and snow storm, Giles and Mollie Ralston anxiously await the arrival of their first guests at Monkswell Manor. It’s 1953 and rationing is still in force in Britain. Faced with the problem of feeding their guests and keeping the old and drafty manor warm on their meagre rations, they are hoping for genteel and good mannered guests. Sgt. Trotter of the Metropolitan Police braves the blizzard as clues to the murder of a woman in Paddington leads him to suspect that the killer may be at Monkswell Manor. He plans to protect the people staying at the manor and to detect which is the murderer. Mollie and Giles’ hopes for a successful opening of their guest house are thrown out into the snow as another murder is committed before the end of the first act. Opening Nite Theatre is located at 33227 N. Railway Ave. Evening performances are at 8 p.m. on April 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16. Matinee performances are at 2 p.m. on April 3, 10, and 17. Tickets $12 are available at Murdoch’s Book Shoppe on First Avenue or at the door.

D E LIVE R YO U R M ESSAG E H E R E! If you are a local business, try this effective, affordable way to promote your business in Mission.

What do you want to be remembered for? An invention that benefits the human race; a scientific achievement; or perhaps a book or work of art that inspires others? Although most of us will probably never do anything that will be remembered a hundred years from now, all of us would like to leave our mark on the world, even if only in some small way. Interestingly, the best way to do that is often the most overlooked. We dream of changing the world but often pass the many opportunities to make improvements close to home, or even within our own homes. A kind word, a helping hand or a good deed can have far-reaching effects. Doing a favor for someone and telling that person to pass along the favor to someone else can have a ripple effect in the lives of those around us. Ultimately, the only things we leave behind are what we have given away — the small favors and gifts to those around us, and the example of our love.

There is great gain in godliness with contentment; for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. R.S.V. 1 Timothy 6:6-7

Tired of their mundane lives and longing for romance, the clerks close up shop and embark on their own adventure to the city, but things get complicated when they nearly run head-long into their blustery boss in the city streets. A series of hilarious episodes of hideand-seek ensue in this farcical adventure that inspired the smash-hit Broadway musical, Hello Dolly! “What better way to end our 20th anniversary season than with a comedy about love and adventure,” said Ken Hildebrandt, Gallery 7 Theatre’s executive artistic director. “This play provides some wonderfully fun roles for both men and women in the 16 – 65 age range, and we especially encourage men between the ages of 30 – 65 to attend.” The Matchmaker will run June 10-11, 16–18, and 23–25 at 7:30 p.m. with additional matinees on June 11 and 18 at 2 p.m. Rehearsals start April 11 and will occur on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 6 to 10 p.m. A couple of Saturday rehearsals will also be held. All performances and rehearsals will be held at the MEI Theatre in Abbotsford. All interested individuals are asked to sign up for the audition ahead of time by calling 604-504-5940, sending an e-mail to info@ gallery7theatre.com, or visiting www.gallery7theatre.com.

OBITUARIES

Annie McMillan Morgan (nee Dawson) Jan. 29th, 1911 - Mar. 21, 2011

Annie passed away peacefully at Stuart Pavilion, Mission, with members of her family at her side. She was predeceased by her husband Jim in 1989, and by her eldest son Jim Jr. (Eleanor) in 1992. She is remembered affectionately by her daughters Ann Philp, Jean Young, and Mary Frame (Gary), her son Tom (Carolyn), ten grandchildren, seven great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. Annie was born on a Saskatchewan homestead to Scottish immigrants. She and her older brothers Bill and Tom were raised on a hardscrabble farm near Dunfermline. After her marriage to Jim, they and their two children moved to B.C. in 1941. They raised their five children in Richmond, and were active in parent, church, and business groups. In 1964, they moved to Oliver, B.C., where they owned and operated the Marshall Wells store for six years. After her husband Jim passed away in 1989, Annie moved to Mission where she spent the last twenty-two years of her life. Annie will be remembered for her curious mind, her steady moral compass, and her generosity to family and friends, as well as her love of gardening. A celebration of Annie’s long and fruitful life will be held on April 16 from 1-4 p.m., in the lounge at St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church, 8469 Cedar Street, Mission, B.C. Special thanks to the staff at Stuart Pavilion for their dedication and compassionate care. No flowers please.

On Melissa’s day’s off she enjoys soccer and rugby and just hanging around with her family. Like most employees Melissa has 2 cats and a dog named “Say-de”. If she’s not in the warehouse you might see her big smiling face moving much of our heavier stock out on to the Åoor or outside in our soil compound.
