Federal budget drops one cent coin BY PHIL MELNYCHUK Black Press
Next fall, your pocket will feel lighter as the penny joins the $2 bill and disappears from Canadian currency. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty announced in Thursday’s federal budget that Canada is joining the U.K. and Australia in dropping the penny from production. One reason, it costs 1.6 cents to produce and it buys only a twelfth of what
it used to. About time, says Fay Arnold, a senior who used to work in a bank and as a waitress. “It’s a nuisance,” she said while waiting to get her hair done. “We don’t need the penny.” She wasn’t as happy, though, with other parts of federal finance. Seniors are still struggling with meagre pensions, women in particular. Arnold scrapes by on a minimum Canada pension along with Old Age Security and Guar-
anteed Income Supplement of just more than $500 a month each. “How can you possibly live on $1,200 a month? There’s an awful lot of seniors living by themselves, women especially, that are having an awfully hard time of it.” However, pensioners for the next decade at least, escaped any big changes. The eligibility age to collect Old Age Security won’t begin to change to 67 until 2023, leaving the younger generation stuck with collecting at a later age.
“If you were born in 1958 or later, this will affect you, but not before that,” explained local MP Randy Kamp. Starting next year, people can also defer collecting their OAS for five years so that by the time they do start receiving, they’ll get a fatter cheque. There are no tax increases in the budget which forecasts a deficit of $1.3 billion in 2014, then returning See GOV’T Page 5

One dead, one injured in shooting BY ADRIAN MACNAIR AND JASON ROESSLE Black Press
One man is dead, and another is injured after a shooting on Manson Street in Hatzic last Wednesday around 10:30 p.m. Mission RCMP say when they arrived at the home, located between Dann Avenue and Catchpole Avenue, they found one man, a 41-year-old Mission resident, inside the house shot in the head. The shooter, a 47-yearold Abbotsford man, was located outside, dead from a self-inflicted gunshot from a handgun. The victim was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital via air ambulance and is in critical condition, however, police say he will live. Mission RCMP Sgt. Miriam Dickson said, “I can confirm that the shooter ... was familiar with the victim as he had been in a previous relationship with the victim’s current partner.” She added Mounties had no previous knowledge of any relationship problems, the investigation is ongoing, and no exact motive is yet

known. Neighbours across the street said their 11-yearold son heard three gunshots from his secondfloor bedroom window.
“We were all shocked,” said Jacquelyn Turner, describing the neighbourhood as quiet. Her husband, Magnus Turner, said he believes
there were two children living in the home. They were reportedly taken away by a family member in a car around 2 a.m. The Turners were
watching television when the shooting took place and neither heard gunshots, but went to the front door when Magnus noticed emergency
crews arrive and a K9 unit began searching the area. Jacquelyn said the neighbours had moved in about a month ago.

Defeated application Double-murderer also admits returning to public to killing his Surrey girlfriend hearing on May 7 BY SHEILA REYNOLDS Black Press
BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record
A townhouse development defeated 5-2 at a public hearing on March 26 has received new life following a special request for reconsideration from Mayor Ted Adlem on Monday. “I am confident that the issues raised by the public in council can be addressed, and as such we should reconsider this application and investment in our community,” he said. The application on Cedar Street near Tunbridge Avenue was for 38 townhomes ranging in price from $260,000 to $300,000, and 21 single-family homes with 21 rear coach houses ranging in price from
$400,000 to $450,000. But the proposal was rejected following public and council concerns that the development’s density would cause parking and traffic issues the neighbourhood could not absorb. “I believe this developer is more than willing to address the issues of access, basement suites, along with coach houses that council has concerns about, parking and park problems,” said Adlem. Coun. Dave Hensman said members of council met with developer Rick Redekop, and was given assurance by him that changes would make it appropriate to bring the application back to a public hearing on May 7. A 22-signature petition
against the development was presented to council on March 26 from Machell Street residents. The current official community plan (OCP) allows for a theoretical minimum density of 38 apartment units and 29 townhomes, which is more than what the developer was asking for, but several people argued the 21 accessory coach houses would create a higher density desirability than was reflected in the OCP. The 5-2 vote marked the first time the new council had defeated a development application, with only Coun. Larry Nundal and Adlem voting in support. The vote to resubmit the application for a public hearing on May 7 passed 7-0.
The man who pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison last week for the 2008 murder of a Mission couple has also confessed to killing his girlfriend, who vanished in Surrey in 2007. But Jack Woodruff is not facing charges for Karen Lynn Batke’s death. Batke, 39, went missing in February 2007. Last year, when Woodruff was arrested for the Mission murders of Lisa Dudley and Guthrie McKay, RCMP identified Woodruff as a suspect in Batke’s disappearance. Batke’s brother, Lorne Batke, told CBC in an exclusive interview this week that investigators told him while Woodruff was in prison awaiting trial for the Dudley and McKay shootings, he confessed to strangling Karen Batke in their Surrey basement suite. According to police, Woodruff claimed he attacked and killed the 110-pound Batke in self-defence

after she swung a bat at him and that she died from her injuries. He then reportedly concealed her body such that her remains would never be recovered, said police. With only Woodruff’s confession – five years after Batke’s death – and no evidence or witnesses, Crown prosecutors were not convinced they could win a murder or manslaughter conviction and did not approve charges. “While the Crown might have proceeded on a charge of offering
an indignity to a human body, the Crown chose not to pursue such a charge,” Crown spokesman Neil Mackenzie told CBC. Sgt. Jennifer Pound, spokesperson for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), said despite the lack of charges following Woodruff’s confession, the investigation into Batke’s death remains open. Lorne Batke said he and his family have lost faith in the police and justice system, adding he feels his sister’s life has been deemed worthless. He vowed he’ll continue to work to have Woodruff held accountable and has set up a Facebook page called Find Karen Batke, where most commenters are critical of the decision not to pursue charges. Woodruff, 53, was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years for the Dudley and McKay’s murders. Two other men, Justin MacKinnon and Bruce Main, are also charged in the double murder but have yet to go to trial. - with files from CBC

Same old Dutch, new front paw BY JASON ROESSLE Lance Maus and his cane corso, Dutch.
Mission Record
Impossible. That was the first thought flitting through Lance Maus’ mind when the phone call came through in November. My dog is in the back yard. You must be mistaken. But the caller wasn’t. Maus’ cane corso Dutch had chewed and barged his way through the cedar-panel fence and had been hit by a car on 14 Avenue, badly injuring his front right leg. Maus raced down to Mission Veterinary Hospital (MVH) and found his six-year-old, 130 pound purebred had a compound fracture — which is when the bone extrudes through the flesh — of the ulna and radial bones, and was faced with a possible full amputation. One problem: It was very expensive. But MVH’s Dr. Susan Calverly had another option for Dutch: a prosthetic. Calverly donated her surgical skill and time, while Maus covered the cost of the prosthesis. She has been working with manufacturer Orthopets, based in Denver,
JASON ROESSLE PHOTO
CO, since December, and called the company one of the “pioneers in orthotics.� Aside from being a lovable dog, Dutch now
also bears a unique distinction: He is the first dog in British Columbia to be outfitted with a prosthetic, and according to Calverly, could be
the first in Canada. “Prosthetics in limbs are relatively a new thing� in the veterinary world, she explained. “It has to be some-
thing the dog won’t eat, or that won’t rub off their fur.� The location of the break — just above the wrist — was fortunate, as that gave Dutch the best possible chance that he would continue to live a normal life. A full amputation would have severely hampered Dutch in later years, said Calverly, as 60 per cent of a dog’s weight comes down on the front paws. Lose a limb, and that full weight must now be borne on the remaining leg, which leads to a host of other issues, including arthritis. “[The prosthetic] saves the joints on the other limbs,� she said. Dutch has happily taken to his new appendage, said Calverly and his owner, Maus. “Dutch gets excited when Lance reaches for the prosthetic,� she said. Maus had high praise for the team at the hospital, and said Dutch continues to be a happy dog. “He’s the same as before, just without a paw,� Maus noted.

Gov’t in rush to become petroleum state: Speirs From FEDERAL Page 1

Mission MLAs speak at Chamber breakfast BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record
Easing environmental restrictions to make it easier to grow the economy, keeping a strong rightwing coalition political party, and holding firm on negotiations with the B.C. teacher’s union were some of the topics Mission MLAs Randy Hawes and Marc Dalton discussed at the Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce breakfast Friday morning at Cedarbrooke Chateau. “The challenge that we face is the budget,” said Maple RidgeMission MLA Marc Dalton with regards to the demands for a pay raise by B.C. teachers, adding if the province acquiesces to union demands there are 150 other unions that could also demand increases. Dalton was referring to the netzero mandate that applies to all public sector employers whose collective bargaining agreements expired on or after Dec. 31, 2011. He said the province has provided generous increases in the past, but “we’re just not in that position right now.” Abbotsford-Mission MLA Randy Hawes was more blunt, saying teachers should be ashamed for refusing to do extracurricular activities as part of their ongoing job action. “Don’t use kids as a pawn. Don’t make them suffer because the adults can’t agree,” he said, adding most people volunteer their time for various organizations after work, and that teachers should do the same. Dalton also spoke briefly about his conservative beliefs, saying
he joined the BC Liberals in order to maintain a strong rightwing coalition movement against the BC NDP, indirectly referencing the recent defection of Abbotsford MLA John van Dongen’s departure from the party for the BC Conservatives. Hawes said he has no intention of doing the same, nor would he confirm that he will retire from provincial politics at the end of this term. “John van Dongen is my friend, continues to be my friend, and at the end of the day he has to represent his constituents,” said Hawes. He also spoke about the federal government’s recent announcements they will make it easier for businesses to go through environmental assessments, referring specifically to projects in Mission that have been held up by lengthy governmental assessments. He said one logging company was unable to cut down trees because it was believed to be within spotted owl territory. “Well, I’ll tell you they found a spotted owl in an abandoned car, which I suppose means we should be protecting auto wrecking yards, too,” he joked. Both politicians spoke to the need to return to a balanced budget in 2013, with Dalton adding he’s pleased the province has managed to keep its AAA credit rating through the recession. Hawes said the government is committed to health care and essential services, and that there isn’t room right now for more funding for items like the arts. Chamber members asked questions after the speeches, includ-
ing one about the land transfer tax. Though Dalton admitted the threshold for the tax is low at one per cent on the first $200,000 and two per cent thereafter, he said if the province raises that threshold then it’s a question of making up that revenue shortfall with a tax somewhere else. On the subject of taxes, Hawes reiterated his disappointment the harmonized sales tax was defeated, adding British Columbians have to be patient on the transition because of the many companies who have been scrambling to convert back to the old system. He said when the provincial sales tax returns, the province should sit down and find another way to modernize the tax system, or else face losing businesses to more competitive jurisdictions like Ontario. Coun. Dave Hensman brought up the fact that at a recent public hearing a Christian school said it inquired about using one of the closed public schools for its roughly 100 children who are currently situated in portables at Cedar Street and Dewdney Trunk Road. The school said it was denied requests to buy or rent the schools that have been closed, like Ferndale and Fraserview. “We have said many times schools do not belong to the school boards, the schools belong to the people,” said Hawes, adding municipalities should be able to work around CUPE contracts in situations similar to the Valley Christian school to provide the community what it needs. Both Dalton and Hawes are in their constituencies during the legislative spring break.

to a $3 billion surplus by 2015. “I think it’s a responsible budget. It takes a forward look.” One highlight in the budget are several steps designed to encourage innovation such as more money for research and development. Absent from the budget are policy documents spelling out changes to the Fisheries Act, removing habitat protection from the act. Word of a leaked document indicating that stirred up controversy, including local environmental groups opposed to any such change. “That’s why you shouldn’t believe everything you see in a leaked document,” Kamp said. However, the government could still make changes to the act later, though he had no timeline. “But they’re not in this budget.” According to the Wilderness Committee, however, follow-up legislation to budget will weaken the environmental assessment process.
“The budget includes major cuts to Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and eliminates the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy,” says a press release. It says the changes are aimed to speed up approval of the Enbridge pipeline from Edmonton to Kitimat. The eco-energy retrofit program was also dumped. But that was only a temporary part of the Economic Action Plan, said Kamp. Former NDP candidate Craig Speirs said Canada is losing manufacturing jobs because the government is in a rush “to become a petroleum state. “We can’t depend on the tar sands to bail us out. It’s not going to work.” Pension cuts are needed to pay for the tax breaks to corporations, he said. “It’s a false issue. The system is well funded.” The government is targeting those who oppose it, he added. “Canada is not going to look the same when they’re finished.”

OPINION
Published and printed by Black Press Ltd. at Mission at 33047 First Ave., V2V 1G2
Just be yourself After Jack Layton died, everyone knew that whoever replaced him as NDP leader would have giant shoes to fill. Layton’s talent for uniting the party and reaching out to people across the country made him a sort of folk legend, even before cancer stole him at age 61. Newly selected NDP leader Thomas Mulcair, the 57-year-old Quebecer who helped Layton transform the party from a virtual non-entity in that province to a substantial force, taking 58 of 75 seats in last year’s election, is clearly a leader of some repute. What is also clear is he doesn’t have the charisma Layton had, and developed, as the orange crush flattened the Liberal red machine to become the official Opposition to Stephen Harper’s Conservative majority in May 2011. Mulcair has been a virtual unknown on the West Coast — unlike Layton — for all except diehard politics watchers. But does a leader known for being prickly have to be the second coming of Layton to win the hearts and minds of people west of Thunder Bay? Harper has shown that a leader can come across to many as cold and calculating, yet still win a majority in parliament. To win over non-NDP voters, it’ll take more than criss-crossing the country connecting with people, as Layton famously did – he visited the Island more often than might be expected for a Toronto MP. Mulcair will be put under the microscope about everything from his policies to his personality, by his supporters and critics alike, in the three years leading to the next election. In that time, he must prove he is his own person, a leader who stands on his own feet. And he must avoid handlers who would try to make him a kinder, gentler version of himself. - Nanaimo News-Bulletin

Gentle John Cummins? Not really
I
n an interview with one of our Vancouver Island papers before Christmas, B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins made a bold prediction that he would have party status before the general election in May 2013. That’s four seats, and it wasn’t based on an unlikely sweep of the ChilliwackHope and Port MoodyCoquitlam by-elections, now set for April 19. He hinted he was getting calls from MLAs looking to join up, after a November Angus Reid poll showed a sudden surge to 18 per cent for his resurgent brand. We now know that one of those callers was Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen. I asked Cummins on Friday if he is still confident about three more. “Hopeful, let’s put it that way,” he replied. Van Dongen’s explosive departure was arranged, with Cummins’ help, for maximum damage to Premier Christy Clark. Van Dongen notified the B.C. Liberal caucus that he was quitting.
Then, in a questionable use of legislature privileges, he launched a broadside on Clark’s integrity. He cited the $6-million legal payout in the B.C. Rail sale, a decision made before Clark’s time, and the recent collapse of a deal to sell naming rights to B.C. Place. He described the B.C. Liberals as “an organization headed for failure,” then announced he’s joined the B.C. Conservatives. Cummins then joined van Dongen at a hotel news conference across the street, as the former Gordon To Campbell cabinet minister disclosed he has hired his own lawyer to dig through the roomful of paper from the B.C. Rail case once again. Auditor General John Doyle is already in court seeking access to details of the $6 million in lawyer bills, which the Attorney General’s ministry hasn’t provided because it doesn’t
have them. These delicate matters were farmed out to yet more independent lawyers. Independent special prosecutor Bill Berardino also spent seven years and many more millions on the B.C. Rail case, including the role of Clark’s lobbyist brother, Bruce. He didn’t find the smoking gun now sought by van Dongen. This effort seems designed more for political revenge in an election year than to clarify the sorry legacy of the B.C. Rail sale that has already been examined m through two provincial elections. Van Dongen was at the top of everyone’s list of disgruntled B.C. Liberals. During last year’s leadership contest, he muttered darkly about not only B.C. Rail, but also the integrity of fellow Abbotsford MLA Mike de Jong. Now Clark is van Dongen’s target, with Cummins standing beside him trying to

look statesman-like. I asked Cummins about the reluctance of key cabinet ministers Kevin Falcon and George Abbott to confirm they are running again. His aw-shucks friendly-grandpa modesty precludes speculation, but he did allow it’s “maybe a comment on the state of affairs in the Liberal caucus.” For the record, fellow ministers Terry Lake, Shirley Bond, Pat Bell, Mary Polak, Rich Coleman and Stephanie Cadieux all said they are firmly on Clark’s election team. Independent-minded backbenchers Bill Bennett and Kevin Krueger also saluted the B.C. Liberal banner. Randy Hawes allowed that he’s 65, so if he leaves it will be for the golf course. As I was talking with Cummins, B.C. Conservative advisor Randy White was assuring the Abbotsford News that more defections are coming. Cummins has people for the dirty work.

Council doing great Editor, The Record: I am not waiting the full three months to write this letter. The verdict is in that the new council has surpassed all expectations for them in this adjustment period. I may not agree with everything they do, but so far their ability to lead, deliver, and act along with their dedication, common sense, and ingenuity have convinced me — along with others I talk to in Mission — that they are all leaders in their own right.

munity and select the routes that our dedicated volunteers will be tackling. Having done this before in the fall I thought I would see a similar sight; it’s always worse on main roadways and around bus stops. Then there are the many fast food containers and odd stray garbage bag that someone has put out the night
before garbage day and the birds are having a feast, plus the regular vehicle debris we find at main intersections. But this time was especially difficult for me as I realized that the number of roads that I would classify as high litter areas have increased to a point that I fear any work that our volunteers do, will go unnoticed as there are so
many roads that need to be addressed. Our volunteers can cover three to four kilometres per group, and we have eight groups in our clean-up. There are two possible solutions for this problem. We increase the number of community members who are adopting their own roads, or people stop littering.
It can be so discouraging to watch volunteers out there picking up after other people only to go by the same route a month later or even a day later to find more litter again. When will people learn that what you throw into our environment, it doesn’t just go away. It’s amazing citizens like
our Adopt-A-Block volunteers who go and pick it up and put it where it belongs. The most disappointing sight was that every entrance into Mission was heavily littered. What message are we sending to visitors when we have litter on our front door? Kristin Parsons Program Coordinator Mission Adopt-A-Block
Only one reason corporations in existence Editor, The Record: In simple terms, corporations exist for one reason only and that is to maximize profits. Their pathological selfinterested nature was tolerable when governments of we, the people, were able to maintain the checks and balances on their excesses. Modified capitalism worked well, especially in comparison to the current form of capitalism that is rampaging without oversight and regulations to inhibit
its carnage on society, the environment, and workers’ rights around the world. But that wasn’t good enough for the one per cent who see themselves as the only truly entitled class, as envisioned by Ayn Rand, who preached that only complete ruthlessness in the pursuit of profit over human welfare was the true morality to strive for. And with the zeal of an irrational religion, they succeeded beyond their
own wildest dreams. The pathologic corporate model of doing business is out of control. It has tirelessly worked to push wages down and have governments in their back pockets. The pathologic corporations and their champions like Prime Minister Stephen Harper truly hate democracy as it impedes the corporate agenda. Unlike you and I, who only have one vote, these mega corporations count each dollar as a vote which
justifies in their minds that they have the right to crush democracy, the social safety net, health standards, working conditions, and so on. And their multi-billion votes are what are sapping the will for people to reassert their right to control the common good as all levels of government work for them and not us. Harper is ideologically driven in his support — reaffirmed at Davos — of unrestrained capitalism. But, in the end, it will not
matter how far he pushes the country down as it will never be enough to satisfy the corporations who refuse to recognize the rights of citizens, or even borders. We don’t play ball, they leave the country and destroy entire communities, without a hint of remorse. What’s happening with the locomotive plant workers in London, Ont, is a perfect example of our future with Harper as our prime minister. Joel Bakan in his book,
The Corporation, outlines its pathological pursuit of profit and power and several options for repairing the damage that corporate America has done to democracies around the world and which now threatens us. If you can’t at least make the effort to read his book and become informed on why things are the way they are and how to fix them, then what hope does Canada have? Robert T. Rock Mission
There are people who care Mission police’s response Editor, The Record: On March 25 as I was walking my dog, and saw a yellow piece of paper with printing on it. Out of curiosity, I read it and it said, “I hate that I have so many secrets.” As I kept walking, there were more notes, including one that hinted at suicide. As someone who has experienced depression and had thoughts of suicide, I found the notes very disturbing. I called 911 and the RCMP came, we walked along, me pointing where the notes were, and the RCMP found some more. The RCMP later found more, but because of people walking along the street, scent dogs wouldn’t be of any use. I walked and did some searching in some forest/bushy areas near my home, and I thank God, I didn’t find any more notes or a person. If this was you, please know that there are
people who are concerned for your peace of mind and safety. If you are depressed and don’t think you can get through today, never mind tomorrow, reach out to someone for help. It can be a teacher, a pastor, Mission Mental Health, Mission hospital, the suicide hotline, anyone. I don’t know you, but I deeply care that you are OK. If you are reading this and those weren’t your notes, but you too are contemplating suicide, please talk to someone. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. People do care and do love you. I’ve been praying for you (and all of you others that are depressed and/or contemplating suicide). Please reach out for help. There’s a hand waiting to grab hold of your hand and not let go. E. MacDonald Mission
was greatly appreciated Editor, The Record: Many thanks to the Mission RCMP for their speed, efficiency, and professionalism in responding to an attempted break and enter at my rental house on James Street recently. The tenant and victim of this callous act was about to leave for a day at the office, when a criminal attempted to break into the house through a basement window. Understandably terrified, she
screamed at the perpetrator, and called 911. The villain fled the scene. In spite of the best efforts of the RCMP, his identity has yet to be determined. Sadly, the innocent victim has been left largely traumatized by the experience. The house, with its proximity to the downtown core and all that entails, has since been fortified with security bars and upgraded locks. Arnold Muir Mission

Budget does little to change our nation I
n like a lion, out like a lamb. That’s how I would describe the 2012 federal budget announced March 29 to the great anticipation of many, because this is the first time a majority government has delivered a budget since 2003. The result was a relatively typical and tame middle-of-the-road budget, and certainly not the sort of fire and brimstone that had been predicted for the past decade should Stephen
Harper and several of his former Reform-Alliance MPs ever secure absolute power in the Lower Chamber. If anything, a number of the proposals on the budget read like a progressive, rather Liberal agenda, including forming an advisory council to get more women on corporate boards, deep cuts to the military, and changes that make it easier for the unemployed and those with disabilities to find work. There’s nothing in
the budget that calls for massive cuts to the unionized public sector except for modest downsizing of a bureaucracy that they themselves created since taking power in 2006. It’s true that roughly 19,200 jobs will be lost over the next few years, representing 4.8 per cent of all federal public service jobs, but this is lacking the context that the Conservative government has overseen the most dramatic rise in civil service hiring in

certainly frustrating for those of us who fall in that category, and even confusing given comments made by parliamentary budget officer Kevin Page in February indicating current OAP funds are sustainable. Given that the federal government doesn’t seem to ever listen or believe the comments made by Page, perhaps it’s time to save another $1.8 million and get rid of the office the Conservatives created in 2008 to fulfill its promise in the Accountability Act. But make no mistake. This budget changes little about Canada’s big-spending, big-debt government. Adrian MacNair is a reporter with The Mission Record.

that might bother a few people. The CBC will now have to find some way to carry on with a 10 per cent reduction to its budget over the next three years, cutting $27.8 million next year, $41.8 million in 201314 and $45.4 million in 2014-15. But there are those who might argue that a publicly funded company that already receives a subsidy of more than $1 billion should be able to find a way to absorb these cuts, particularly when free market media carry on without those subsidies. There’s also the changes to Old Age Pension which will affect those who are not yet 65 years of age by 2023, and extend their working life by two years. That’s

Helicopter landings to increase at MRP BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record
BCAS’s air ambulances now have Mission Raceway Park to use as a landing zone.
RECORD FILE PHOTO
Cedarbrooke Chateau Hotel Suites
A partnership between Mission’s fire service and the local dragstrip will see more air ambulances touching down at the track. Due to the expansion at Mission Memorial Hospital, the helicopter landing site has been shut down, said Mission Fire/Rescue Service Chief Ian Fitzpatrick. HeliJet, the company contracted to fly the B.C. Ambulance Service’s choppers, approached Fitzpatrick and requested some alternative spots be identified. “We looked at playing fields, and the Sports Park, but the [HeliJet] consultant thought Mission Raceway Park looked the best. And even if the races are on, it can still be utilized,” he said. When an air ambulance is inbound,
Mission firefighters will be tasked with opening the gates and setting up the landing zone (LZ), which on non-race days will be the western end of the quarter-mile strip. The alternative site is immediately west of the motocross track, in an open grassy area. Powerful site lighting is already in place, and there are “far fewer hazards” at MRP than in most other pre-determined LZs, said Fitzpatrick. However, the air ambulance’s mandate is still to land as close to the incident as possible, and that decision rests with the pilot, he added. Fitzpatrick said the raceway has been receptive of the idea. “We think it’s a good deal,” said MRP’s Wally Duperon Jr. “It was taken to the executive and everybody was in favour. “It’s good for the community.”
Reward issued for camera Mission RCMP are asking for the public’s help in locating a stolen camera. On March 21, a vehicle in the 8000-block of Ashmore Place was broken into, and amongst other items, a couple’s Canon Elph camera was taken. This camera contained hundreds of photographs of their toddlers, none of which had been downloaded or saved. They have issued a $100 reward for the camera’s return. “All of the photographs they have taken of their children are gone. I can’t image the sadness they must be experiencing, not only now, but

years from now when they do not have these pictures to look back upon,” stated RCMP Sgt. Miriam Dickson. “It is my deepest hope that the person who is responsible for this theft will do the right thing and return the camera.” This can be done by dropping it off at the Mission detachment with no questions asked, or at a location of their choice advising Mission RCMP where it can be found.

Cedar Valley Manor is selling quickly and it is easy to see why. The Mission Association for Seniors Housing (MASH) has a new project on the go. After successfully developing and operating The Cedars, MASH is now developing Cedar Valley Manor, a life lease for independent seniors. Cedar Valley Manor has been purposely designed for seniors in Mission who want to downsize but who are also looking for a warm and supportive community where life is simple. As Judith Ray, the President of MASH says: “Residents can live maintenance free at Cedar Valley Manor. Here they will be able to carry on living in the community they love without having to worry about the yard, snow removal, and the upkeep of their house. And as a Life Lease,” she continues “Mission seniors will have their financial interests secured and looked after as well.” Many people have been wondering about the “Life Lease” model used at Cedar Valley Manor, and as explained by Kate Mancer, Director of Cedar Valley Manor: “Life Lease is a form of tenure perfectly suited to seniors. It allows them
to securely use the equity built up after years of home ownership and provides a wonderful sense of community.” In a Life Lease the resident pays an upfront cost, or “entrance fee,” which is used to pay for the construction of the building, plus a monthly fee which includes general building upkeep and replacement reserves. Taxes are extra but life lease residents qualify for the Homeowner Grant. When people move out, they get 95% of their money back— with no worries about the real estate market and estate planning is so simple. Life lease residents don’t have to worry about management concerns, or being part of a strata council—all of that is looked after by a trusted community-based non-profit organization. Residents know their interests are being looked after by a group whose sole purpose is to provide good quality affordable housing for the seniors of Mission. The MASH mission statement sums it all up perfectly: “Caring for Those Who Cared for Us.”

Charles Jago named mediator in teacher dispute BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Former University of Northern B.C. president Charles Jago has been
appointed to mediate the dispute between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the bargaining agent for the province’s 60 school districts.
Education Minister George Abbott announced Jago’s appointment Wednesday. Abbott said his staff inquired about two senior judges sug-
gested by the BCTF as possible mediators for the long-running dispute, but both are still serving and are not available. Abbott said Jago is
bound to seek a settlement within the terms of the government’s “net zero” wage mandate, which has been the basis for 130 settlements with public
sector unions. But other than that, Jago has a “quite unrestricted mandate” to find common ground in other issues. Jago’s mandate is de-

fined by the legislation passed to end the BCTF strike and work-to-rule action and impose a sixmonth cooling-off period. It includes class size and composition, the division of issues between local and provincial bargaining, teacher performance evaluation, “alignment of professional development with teaching needs” and “scheduling and selection of teachers suited to student needs.” Jago has until the end of June to work with the union and the employers’ association, and then he is to make recommendations for a settlement whether there is agreement or not. In a conference call from Prince George, Jago said he is hopeful he can make progress if both sides are willing to work on solutions. Even a twoyear freeze on total compensation leaves room to find money for wage increases, he said. Jago said he was involved with faculty negotiations at UNBC and a previous university post in Ontario, but he has no previous experience as a mediator. He is being paid $2,000 a day, which Abbott said is a standard rate for mediators in large labour disputes. BCTF president Susan Lambert told reporters the union will participate in the mediation, but she is concerned about Jago’s lack of labour relations experience, and also two donations of $500 each Jago made to the B.C. Liberal Party. Jago said the payments were on behalf of a golf foursome that took part in two party fundraising tournaments, for which he was reimbursed by other players. His policy as a university president was not to donate to any political party, he said. Lambert also questioned a report on education Jago wrote for the governmentappointed B.C. Progress Board in 2006. That report recommended closer interaction between secondary schools and postsecondary institutions, with “priority attention” to promoting trades training.

Low compliance to Earth Hour in Mission ergy conservation will become heeded more as energy prices continue to rise, which at a certain point will cause people to realize they
BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record
Mission residents pretty much ignored the fifth year of Earth Hour on Saturday night, with BC Hydro reporting electricity consumption in the district dropped by just 0.63 per cent between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. That’s worse than Vancouver, which declined 2.1 per cent, and the provincial average of minus 1.67 per cent. Abbotsford was equally disinterested, declining just 0.93 per cent from normal output. This year’s result was a far cry from 2011 when Mission turned in a 2.25 per cent energy drop. But BC Hydro spokeswoman Jennifer Young said electricity consumption can be dependent on a number of local factors, such as any high-profile events, the weather, or a large industrial plant. “So, I wouldn’t get too caught up in that. The great thing is that we had 91 communities
participating this year across B.C., which is up from last year, and really the point of the Earth Hour event is to demonstrate that small steps can really add up,” she said. Mayor Ted Adlem said he likes the concept of Earth Hour, and that he doesn’t find Mission’s dismal numbers disheartening. “If everyone turned off their electricity one hour a day we’d save one-24th of our power,” he said, adding the district will look at how it can promote energy conservation in the future. “I would hope that everyone would be taking
a look at what they can do to conserve power.” Mission’s environmental services manager, Mike Younie, said he was disappointed to hear the results, but stressed the district is looking at numerous ways to make itself more energy efficient. That includes things like the Community Energy and Emission Plan, which Mission implemented in 2011 to follow policies and procedures that will make it more energy efficient, increase the use of renewable energy sources and reduce its carbon footprint. Younie said the broader message of en-
can also save money. “I think the message that’s going to hit home even more will be the fact that hydro rates are going up again seven
per cent this year,” he said. Earth Hour is a global event organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature and held annu-
ally on the last Saturday in March. It first took place in Sydney, Australia, in 2007, and caught on in other countries in the years after.

The 1.3 acre site will house a seven-classroom school with washrooms, storage rooms, a multi-purpose room, front reception area, administrative offices, first-aid room, and a chapel. The district would actually gain $26,241 in development cost charges by approving the rezoning, though Coun. Jenny Stevens said she wishes the school had found a location other than Cedar Valley. “It’s clearly to the benefit of the community to have this school.

A development application by Valley Christian School (VCS) received second and third reading at a public hearing March 28 that would see them move into a new facility on Cedar Street between Rosetta and Tunbridge. The school was relocated last year to portables set up at Cedar and Dewdney Trunk Road for the 2011-12 school year from its old location at Cedar and Cherry because their lease expired and the buildings were demolished. The application calls for Phase Two of the Cedar Valley official community plan (OCP) to be amended from suburban to institutional education to accommodate

been completed. Phase one called for highdensity construction along Cedar Street in order to fund the second phase of development in Cedar Valley. But Paul Burns, chairman of VCS’ board of directors, said he inquired about leasing or purchasing public schools which have been closed by the province and are currently in disuse, such as Ferndale and Fraserview, but was turned down. Coun. Dave Hensman said a school and two churches already exist on Cedar Street and a variety of uses should be approved. Council voted 7-0 to move the application past second and third reading. Valley Christian’s enrolment is about 100 students.

New enviro regulations for WTE facilities announced
Leading the way Paula Martin, advisor to Vancity CEO Tamara Vrooman, addressed the crowd at the Best Western Saturday morning. Martin stepped in after Vrooman had to cancel. The talk about ethical decision making was part of the Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce’s leadership series. The fourth and final event will be April 28, and will feature the Skidrow CEO, Joe Roberts. For more information call 604-826-6914. JASON ROESSLE PHOTO
Service would be affected: Evered BY ROBERT FREEMAN Black Press
UFV president Mark Evered and 24 other university and college presidents are warning the B.C. government it won’t be “business as usual” if $70 million in budget cuts to post-secondary institutions goes ahead. “We must be clear that it is unrealistic to assume that the reductions contemplated by Budget 2012 can be achieved without implications for service levels,” Evered and other post-secondary presidents said in a Feb. 28 letter to Advanced Education Minister Naomi Yamamoto. New Democrats called the letter an “unprecedented” act that highlights the serious need for postsecondary education or training that 80 per cent of job openings in B.C. will require over the next decade.

“We’re basically looking down the barrel of a gun,” Michelle Mungall, the NDP’s advanced education critic, told Black Press. “But we don’t have enough people trained to meet that demand.” But Evered used gentler language to describe the letter, calling it a “reminder” to the B.C. government that UFV and other post-secondary institutions are already operating on a “no-frills” basis. And program cuts or restrictions on student admissions could be the next cost-saving steps. “My biggest concern here is … [student] demand exceeds what we’re able to provide,” Evered said in a telephone interview. “I’m worried we’re not going to have the space and the instructors for them.” The letter contradicts the BC Liberal government’s claim that the $70-million cut from the bud-

get over the next three years can be made up by administrative savings. Evered said the letter was sent so the government “recognizes we will be forced to make some tough decisions, and it won’t be business as usual.” He said UFV is committed to providing easier access to a postsecondary education for Fraser Valley students, who are already less likely than others in B.C. to attend university, but “we’ve got a ways to go to catch up” because of the costs involved. Mungall, who was touring several Fraser Valley schools last week, including UFV, said the fact that the Canadian Chamber of Commerce has declared the growing skills shortage as the top challenge to the competitiveness of the Canadian economy, should be a wake-up call for the BC Liberal government.

FUR SO FRESH MOISTURIZING SHAMPOO
All proposed wasteto-energy (WTE) facilities, no matter what size, will be reviewed under new regulations, B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake announced Monday in Chilliwack. Lake told reporters that he was making the announcement to clear up “misinformation” that Metro Vancouver is going ahead with plans to build a WTE facility without consulting the Fraser Valley Regional District. Metro Vancouver’s solid waste management plan, which includes the possibility of a WTE facility, has been ap-
proved by the ministry, but Lake said no “concrete” WTE method is on the table. Under the existing regulation, a WTE facility must reach a certain size before a full environmental assessment is triggered. “What we’re announcing today is that all WTE (facilities) in the Lower Mainland or Fraser Valley, no matter what size they are, will have to go through a full and mandatory environmental assessment because of the strengthening of the regulations,” Lake said. “We know that air
quality is a critical issue for residents of the Fraser Valley,” he added, “so we wanted to assure people that whatever proposal comes forward (at Metro Vancouver) that it will undergo the most rigourous environmental review possible in B.C.,” he said. Public hearings are required under the environmental review process. “All residents of the Fraser Valley will have the ability for full input into the environmental assessment process,” Lake said. “All concerns will be taken into account in that way.”
Easter Egg Hunt Sunday The 19th annual Easter Egg Hunt happens this Sunday afternoon at Fraser River Heritage Park. The joint Elks Club and Cedar Valley Lions Club event gets underway at 11 a.m. with kiddie rides, mini golf and the Easter Bunny, while the egg hunt begins at 1 p.m., rain or shine.
According to organizers, separate areas for hunting will be set up for different age groups: one to one and a half; three to five; five to seven, and; eight to 10 year olds. The event draws thousands of people to the park on Mary Street each year.

ã Hayward Lake Reservoir will be drawn down to 33 metres from May through August this summer and again in 2013. Access to the beach at the Hayward Lake Reservoir Recreation Site will be closed as the beach has a very steep drop-off and cannot be used safely when the water is very low. The Hayward Lake boat launch will also be out of service during the drawdown. The drawdowns will comply with the conditions of the Water Licence and the Water Use Plan. They are required for construction related to the right abutment work. ã 7KH dog off-leash area may be required for construction use. Other closures may be required for construction use or for safety requirements. For current closures, please check www.bchydro.com/closures.
ADDITIONAL PARKING We will be adding 79 parking spaces at the Hayward Lake Reservoir Recreation Area parking lot south of the Stave Visitor Centre parking. These will be available mid-summer for public use. The Upper Railway Trail parking lot will be open for the duration of the project. This parking lot provides access to the Railway Trail.

In the words of pop superstar Justin Bieber, Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen is going to “blow up.” And that’s a good thing, because it means Jepsen has been signed to Bieber’s manager’s label and has become an instant sensation across the pop music universe. But Jepsen said she isn’t letting the fame rattle her too much, just taking things day by day, not getting expectations too high, and working hard to deserve her accomplishments. She says she’s still pretty much the same girl who grew up in Mission. “It’s still forever my home, and I think it always will be,” she says, adding her father and best friend lives in Mission and she visits during Christmas and holidays.

Mission is ‘forever my home’ herself as a “geek by nature,” enjoying such divergent tastes as chess and baking. Jepsen released her second album, Curiosity, on
Feb. 14, the same day Justin Bieber made the announcement on MuchMusic that she had been signed to Schoolboy Records. Although that was

was a perfect place to start her music career because she had support from the community to pursue her passion. “There was always ample opportunities, within even my high school. Beverly Holmes and David Fryer put on all these different musical productions that I was always involved in and I think I learned a lot from being in Mission.” In fact, her teacher Holmes was the one who suggested she audition for Canadian Idol, while Fryer suggested she go for the Sacramento Jazz scholarship, which she received three years in a row. Looking back, Jepsen says Canadian Idol was a big break and Bieber’s support has been a “lifechanging moment,” but the real game changer was being 17 and making the decision to try for a career in music. “It meant that if I was singing in a cocktail lounge or fronting a swing band or doing something outside of Canada, that I was going to be doing it either way just because I had such a passion for it and I found so much joy from it.” Jepsen’s parents were teachers and at one point she considered being a teacher, but in her heart she had always considered that plan B. Although she’s experimented with many styles of music, her latest music has made an indelible impression upon the ears of Canadians, with Call Me Maybe reaching number one on the Canadian Hot 100. “That’s part of the fun. You get to be influenced by the world and be attracted to wherever your ear strays,” she said, adding she feels her “pop sound” is influenced by many different styles, including her background in folk and jazz. For now, the 26-yearold is enjoying touring and travelling the world to play music and experience new things, though she’s beginning to think about a legacy. “Ultimately, my main goal in all this is to write that song that lasts long after I’m here.” Jepsen said she would be excited to come back and do a show at the Clarke Theatre some day where she played Little Orphan Annie as a child. She still lists walking in the woods at Heritage Park as one of her fa-
vourite things to do, and loves the Mission Folk Music Festival. When she’s not singing, Jepsen is also an avid reader, describing

everly Holmes has devoted the better part of the last 35 years to giving students the confidence and poise needed to find their voices on stage, the past 16 of those right here in Mission. The Heritage Park secondary teacher had been working in Maple Ridge for nine years when she heard Mission was building a brand new theatre. She contacted the principal for an interview and the rest, as they say, is history. “What I find the most important thing in what I do is building community with the kids,” she said, adding that theatre pulls a diverse array of personalities together to create these new, temporary communities on stage. Holmes retires next year from a career that began in 1978 after graduating with a teaching degree and a theatre minor from the University of Victoria. Theatre may have been embedded in her DNA; her parents met as part of a repertoire group in England. As a child, she said

even when she used to play make believe with other children, she’d always be the “bossy” one directing the others. After graduating university, she went to Nigeria for a year, and started a drama club at a secondary school. Then she returned to Canada and went to South America for another year. “I thought I’d just do that forever, work here, travel here... and then the ‘80s hit.” Holmes needed a job, so she interviewed on film for a job in Quesnel and they asked if she could do a musical. Although she’d never done one before, she agreed, and a drama teacher was born. Holmes often has to do the work of many people that a professional theatre company would, including directing, producing, and sometimes making costumes. Her last production, Dark of the Moon, ran March 6-10 at the Clarke Theatre, the third time she’s tackled the project. The play marked the final production of her career, describing the experience as quite exhausting. “I liken it to the gestation of a child,” she says, describing the process. It begins with an idea, followed by meeting with students to discuss how to approach the play, and then work begins on buildings storyboards and doing background research, all before the rehearsals and costume designs begin. Dark of the Moon, a Broadway play from 1945, centres around the

character of a witch boy who seeks to become human after falling in love with a human girl. The play ends in a tragedy fit for Shakespeare, but involves several dark contemporary issues which attracted Holmes. “I like things that kind of take you on a journey, but give you something to think and talk about afterwards.” Holmes says she tends to be more drawn to the

latest events
darker side of art, which means she enjoys contemporary theatre more than the classics because they tend to push the envelope more. Holmes said the best thing about having worked in Mission for the past decade and a half are the students, adding some students of hers have gone on to do great things, like Carly Rae Jepsen who appeared in several of her musicals.
“I think theatre is important because it does build a community, it does build discipline and focus and cooperation and teamwork.” She said employers and universities in the modern world are looking for creative thinkers and not just people who can memorize facts. Holmes has been recognized for her achievements in the community, including winning a Cul-
CALENDAR
tural Diversity Award in 2005 for best innovative initiative in undertaking The Laramie Project, a play about the reaction to a 1998 murder of an American gay student. Now that her children, two daughters aged 20 and 28, are grown up, Holmes plans to pick up where she left off in 1980 and start travelling again when she retires. “I can hardly wait,” she says, smiling.

It is extremely important that water users DO NOT use any water including hot/cold water taps, toilets, etc. during the cleaning process. District staff will be delivering a notice providing more detailed information about the program and scheduling, to your mailbox, mail slot or front door on the morning of the work proceeding through your neighbourhood. You may also access the scheduling information by phoning 604-820-3767 or accessing the District of Mission Web site www.mission.ca Sincerely, Rick Grant Assistant Operations Manager

Stay clear of these materials Spring is here and you may find yourself out for a stroll around the neighbourhood, or maybe down some country roads. On occasion, you will find that someone has used the area to dump household wastes, construction materials, diapers and other items. While these types of finds are unpleasant, generally upsetting and obviously not resulting from any level of community consciousness, there are some materials
that should send you heading in the opposite direction immediately. Coming across generic 20-litre pails with lids, 45-gallon drums, together with black garbage bags or other plastic containers can be of serious concern, as they often contain the by-products of illicit drug manufacture, and most of these substances are highly toxic. Do not investigate dumps of this nature. Do not touch, kick,
move or open any of the containers, but call the Fire Department at 604-820-3793 or 604-820-3794 at your earliest convenience. Report the exact location of the dumped materials, approximately how many pails, drums and bags you found, whether the materials were dumped in or near a creek, whether you observed any staining or odours, and whether there are other people in the area who may become exposed to the
Rules for burning brush in April Now that spring is on its way, many people are anxious to do some yard cleanup of branches, twigs and tree prunings, including the burning of 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 5 cm 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, in accordance with the Burning Bylaw. Only one fire is permitted and may not exceed 3ft x 3ft, and

materials. If you feel that someone or the environment is in imminent danger or may have been exposed, call 911. Please report illegal dumps of regular, non-hazardous waste materials to the District’s Public Works Department at 604-820-3761, so cleanup can be arranged. For further information, contact the engineering department at 604820-3795.

What’s Happening Help a in Mission
THE PROMISE OF EASTER It is no coincidence that the celebration of Easter takes place each year in early spring, commemorating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. For Easter is a celebration of rebirth, and what better time to celebrate this than when the earth is springing back into life. The new life of spring reminds us that this world is eternally productive and creative. The apparent lifelessness of winter is only an illusion. Sleeping just beneath the surface, is life and more life, awaiting God’s gentle touch to reawaken it. In the same way, Easter reminds us that the death of our bodies is an illusion. Beneath it is life and more life. The Bible tells us that God so loved the world the He gave us His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. We will one day shed our bodies, as the trees shed their leaves and snakes shed their skins, and we will be reborn into life everlasting.
And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.

child learn to read Interested in helping others read? Mission Library is looking for adult volunteers to assist with their Reading Buddies program, a cooperative program between the library and Mission Literacy in Motion. This program aims to help children who are struggling with reading to improve their confidence and skill level through weekly practice sessions. Reading Buddies is an after-school program that runs from September to June. Reading Buddies pairs high school students and other interested adults with children in Grades 1-4 who need extra help. Buddies meet weekly to practice reading, play literacy-based games and use library materials to help foster a love of reading. An orientation is held for all potential big buddies and the coordinator is available to answer any questions. If you are interested in spending one hour per week to help, ask for a form at the information desk in Mission Library, 33247 Second Ave. The Reading Buddies Coordinator will contact you.

CLAYTON, Carol (Cornelia) Louise
It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our beloved wife, mother, sister, grandma and great grandma. After a brief illness, Carol went to be with her Lord on March 31, 2012 at the age of 86. She is survived by her husband of over 60 years, Fred Clayton and her children; David (Michelle), Dianne (Bert), Brian (Laura), John (Michelle), her stepsons; Daryl (Mary), Bob (Maxine) and many grandchildren & great grandchildren. Carol was born in Provost, Alberta to Cornelius and Susanna Wiebe. She grew up in Northern Alberta, along with her 5 sisters and 3 brothers. Later the family moved to Yarrow, B.C. She met the love of her life while working in Vancouver at the Independent Biscuit Company. After marrying they moved to Abbotsford where they raised their 4 children and retired. Mom’s lasting legacy is her faith in her Lord and how she lived her life. Her love of family and her servant heart was evident to everyone who knew her. She will be greatly missed by all her family & friends. Memorial service will be held 11:00 am, Saturday, April 7th at Sevenoaks Alliance Church, 2575 Gladwin Road, Abbotsford. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Samaritan’s Purse, www.samaritanspurse.ca Online condolences to the family may made at www.woodlawnfh-abbotsford.com Woodlawn Funeral Home 604-853-2643
STEWART Melvin Bears Another pioneer has passed away quietly with Audrey Campbell, his son Newton, daughter Linda and granddaughter Laura by his side. He is survived by his 3 children; Newton, Linda (Mike), Allan (Anne), his son-in-law Wesley Janzen, 5 granddaughters; Carrie (Darren), Angela (Bill), Amanda (Adam), Laura (Mike) and Alanna and 3 great grandchildren: Jordan, Justen and Avalyn. Melvin was born and raised on Sumas Prairie where he married Colleen Menagh and together had five children. In the early 1950’s Melvin researched and pioneered the way for the first refrigerated milk trucks into Canada; thus allowing the farm dairy milk to be refrigerated when transported to the Plant. He farmed the Stewart Farm until the early sixties (now known as Birchwood Dairies). He then moved to Vancouver, joined the Operating Engineers Union and spent many years operating Heavy Equipment and then as a Consultant. He retired and returned to Abbotsford to pursue his joy of travelling. Melvin will be greatly missed but not forgotten. The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the caring, compassionate, thoughtful nurses of the Emergency Decision Making Unit of the Abbotsford Hospital. No service by request.
