Mission council is taking a closer look at secondary suites, and at owners who are avoiding paying the municipal taxes on them.

The topic is expected to draw a lot of interest from the public after the idea was brought forward during public budget consultation meetings earlier this year. Residents asked the district to investigate where secondary suites exist, and make sure those property owners are paying their fair share of taxes and utilities.

The present council has always supported secondary suites, because it is a form of affordable housing, Mayor James Atebe told The Record this week.

It helps those who can’t afford to buy a house, or rent a full one, and it helps make owning a house for affordable, he added.

“It’s a mortgage helper.”

Mission’s Official Community Plan includes a policy supporting suites and requires a subdivision with them to lay out where they are, so the area can be built accordingly to address neighbourhood issues, such as parking.

Registering a secondary suite also helps the BC Assessment Authority more accurately determine the value of your home, as a house with a suite usually has a higher value. On a local level, those with a suite are also required to pay double for garbage collection, and water and sewer services.

Registering is voluntary and Atebe realizes this is a problem.

There isn’t a penalty right now (for unregistered suites), but it’s a common issue in B.C. and even across the country, said the mayor, adding that’s something district staff can investigate.

“We need to find a way... for everyone to fairly contribute to services and amenities, such as playing fields and parks.”

Developer Howard Meakin will try to get his Sturgeon’s on the Fraser floating restaurant development approved by city hall, starting this week.

So far, Meakin says he has been frustrated by the process, and will now ask the district to change it.

“This will determine whether the city is in business or not,” he told The Record.

“We don’t want to lose another six months.”

Meakin alleges city hall has blocked his application. The two sides are competing to buy the same waterfront property which was formerly owned by Meeker Cedar.

He needs the 1.6-acre site to provide parking for his upscale restaurant, taphouse, float plane service and other businesses that would be located on the water lot.

The district has confirmed it is trying to purchase the site, saying council considers it strategic to the waterfront area.

Meakin said he originally wanted the district to consider the rezoning and development applications for the water lot and upland properties separately.

He applied in October. However, he said district staff insisted he submit one development application for both properties. Meakin doesn’t own the up-

land property, but the application could proceed if he obtained a temporary use permit for the proposed parking lot.

However, the property vendor does not want to allow Meakin that temporary use permit, because there is another potential buyer for the site – the municipality.

“We’re trapped. We’re stonewalled,” complained Meakin.

He is frustrated the district is citing the lack of a formal development application to justify bidding on the former Meeker Cedar site.

“Let him put the application forward, and council will deal with it,” Mayor James Atebe told The Record in an interview published on March 25. “He needs to go through the front doors.”

This week, Meakin said he will once again ask the district to process the two lots separately, so he can get on with the application. That would allow the development to be considered by staff and council, and allow for public input.

As for who will eventually own the contentious waterfront land, Meakin says there is no set timeline. Either party could be named the successful bidder next week, or it might take longer.

“It could take another couple of months. It depends on the outcome of negotiations,” said Meakin.

“The district is hell bent on trying to buy this thing, and so are we.”

90 years of care Mission Health Care Auxiliary celebrates anniversary BY

CAROL AUN

Mission Record

One of Mission’s oldest volunteer organizations has been keeping the community healthy for 90 years.

The Mission Health Care Auxiliary started in 1920. It has undergone name and structural changes, but the mandate has remained the same: to look after the health care needs of this community.

New Westminster was the closest hospital to Mission in the early 1900s. Residents recognized one was needed here, and wanted it to be a living memorial to those who fought and died in World War I. On April 9, 1920, a group of women got together and formed the Mission Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. They rented a house on the corner of Third and Birch, and raised money for supplies for Mission’s new hospital, which opened about a month later.

The auxiliary’s work was just getting started.

A variety of fundraisers continued, such as teas, bake sales, plays, and bazaars, to help build a more permanent hospital on Fifth Avenue and James Street. The “old hospital,” as it is referred to now, opened in 1925 and continued to be used until 1965, when Mission Memorial Hospital on Hurd Street was built.

Regardless of where the hospital was located, the auxiliary continued to work on improving patient care, both in the hospital and around the community.

••••• The auxiliary played a key role in health care for soldiers who returned home from the war, sick and needing medical attention. The Returned Soldiers Bed Fund was created in 1925, as the only fund of its kind in B.C. The auxiliary looked after all the medical expenses for anyone in

the bed.

There were many donations and contributions to the fund, but there were differences of opinion about who should use the funds, and who should use the facility.

According to Mission’s Living Memorials, written by Betty Robertson, Catherine Marcellus and Betty Dandy (1992), the hospital board borrowed money from the auxiliary and the bed fund to help with operational expenses.

Because the financial situation at the hospital was poor, the auxiliary closed the bed fund in 1940 to focus on hospital needs.

••••• Residents young and old took an interest in the auxiliary, which was proving to be a vital part of health care in Mission.

In 1948, a junior auxiliary was established, giving younger members, who were mostly women with children and business women, the opportunity to meet in the evening and get involved.

The Junior Auxiliary held more social events, such as dances and dinners, but both groups ran raffles and the goal remained the same.

Over the next 15 years, membership declined from the Senior Auxiliary, and eventually the two clubs merged and became the Mission Memorial Hospital Auxiliary (MMHA) when the new facility on Hurd Street opened.

••••• The Hospital Foundation relied on the auxiliary for many things, but medical equipment eventually became the club’s main goal.

As health care in the community and across the province evolved, so did the mandate of the auxiliary.

The MMHA renamed itself the Mission Health Care Auxiliary Society in 1995, and expanded its services to the rest of the community.

The following are some highlights over the years in the Auxiliary’s history. This information was taken from the Mission Health Care Auxiliary Society book, Celebrating 90 years of service 1920-2010, produced for the special occasion.

• 1968: The Cottage Thrift Shop opened.

• 1971: Television rental service began; a Candy Striper bursary was established • 1978: Dr. Stuart Pavilion Extended Care Unit opened in June.

• 1982: The first male member was welcomed into the auxiliary.

• 1987: Computers came to Mission Memorial Hospital.

• 1989: Two new services were started, reception volunteers and the Aux-Tales newsletter.

• 1990: A gaming licence was obtained so the auxiliary could participate in Casino Nights in Maple Ridge.

• 1990: Air conditioning was installed in the hospital, and a pharmacy and chapel were constructed.

• 1996: A new purple uniform was introduced.

• 2000: Mission Health Care Auxiliary was awarded the Millennium Award from the District of Mission to recognize years of service to the community.

• 2006: A web page was created for the Internet.

The Mission Health Care Auxiliary will be celebrating 90 years of service on Friday, April 9 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Mission Memorial Hospital main conference room.

Former members, prospective members, and the community are invited reminisce and learn more about the work the Auxiliary is doing.

To learn more about the group, visit www.missionhealthcareauxiliary.com.

The Cottage Thrift store is the backbone of the Mission Health Care Auxiliary, bringing in the tens of thousands of dollars every year to improve health care in the community.

The Cottage was first opened in 1968 in a small location that didn’t have space enough for a washroom.

The shop was opened two days a week and pulled in $1,365 the first year.

The store was relocated in 1972, and again in 1976, 1981, 1986, 1999, and finally settled in its current location on First Avenue in 2000.

Each time the shop moved to a larger location, said Justine Dickenson, who has been volunteering at The Cottage for 36 years.

Other longtime helpers are Marcella Cividino, 40 years; Edna Rempel, 35 years; and Gerda Devries, 38 years.

The ladies take several shifts a week and they have fun at what they do. Cividino even works for the shop when she’s not there, knitting socks to sell.

Other volunteers also have special projects, like refurbishing Barbie dolls to sell, or making sure electronic toys work when they are put on the floor.

Everything is donated by people in the community. According to The Cottage convenor Olene

Chaplin, the good donations come in with the bad and volunteers spend many hours sorting through usable items and ones that are trash. The Cottage accepts most donations, drawing the line at televisions, microwaves and washing machines.

You can find almost anything in the store, from small pieces of furniture to electronics, dishes, sporting goods, toys and clothes for the whole family.

All the proceeds go toward health care in the community. In addition to providing services and purchasing equipment at the hospital, funds also help other community organizations like the local hospice society and Busy Bus. Last year The Cottage turned in over $93,000.

“There are no paid volunteers,” said Chaplin.

Not every volunteers works on the store floor. Some come in to sort donations, others cut up boxes, decorate the display window for special occasions and seasons, pick up donations, or take unwanted items to the district landfill.

The Cottage is open Monday to Saturday every week from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Volunteers usually work four hour shifts in the store, said Chaplin, adding more volunteers are needed.

“We have 15 people now,” she said. “We keep busy.”

Application forms can be picked up at The Cottage, or at Mission Memorial Hospital reception.

A closet to help The Mission Health Care Auxiliary runs many programs in the hospital to make a patient’s stay more comfortable.

The Emergency Closet is one of the newest services offered. The program started three winters ago, said Lorraine Hughes, convenor, who remembers talking to a nurse about having to keep a patient at the hospital until he had some clothes to wear out.

Sometimes people come into the hospital after being in a car crash, or other situations that force the medical staff to cut off their clothes in order to treat them, explained Hughes.

“They can’t discharge people without clothes.”

After discussing the problem at the executive table, the Emergency Closet was set up inside the staff lounge at the hospital. Auxiliary volunteers keep the closet stocked with supplies like socks, shirts and pants, but leave it up to the nurses to decide whether or not a patient needs the service.

Hughes checks on the cupboard every couple of weeks to make sure it is adequately stocked.

“There isn’t a steady stream of use, because it depends on what’s happening around the community.”

Lorraine Hughes looks after the Emergency Closet at MMH. CAROL AUN PHOTO

Hughes looks for items that will easily fit anyone, such as pants with elastic waistbands, at sales, and a lot of it comes from The Cottage thrift store, which is also run by the auxiliary.

Hughes’ friends and even nurses at the hospital donate items.

“It’s not a big cost to us to provide this service, but it helps,” said Hughes, who joined the auxiliary almost 50 years ago.

Anyone who would like to help out this program can bring donations to The Cottage on First Avenue.

Highway robbery suspects sought BY

CAROL AUN

Mission Record

It was bad luck when a van, driven by a woman in her 50s, broke down on the Lougheed Highway east of Mission. But her situation turned even worse when she tried to get help from a passerby, and was assaulted and robbed.

According to Mission RCMP, the incident happened near Husband Road and Lougheed in Deroche on Friday, April 2 around 6:30 p.m.

The victim got out of her vehicle and was walking eastbound on the

north side of the highway. She was trying to wave down a helpful motorist when the suspects, who were heading west on the highway, robbed her.

One of the two men grabbed her jacket, attempting to take her purse.

The victim hit her head on the side of the vehicle and let go of her hand bag.

The suspects are described as native males between 17-22 years old. The passenger in the vehicle was further described as having thin, long, black hair; and he was wearing a white tank top under-

the process used to identify secondary suites, such as looking through advertisements on the internet and in newspapers, and following up on reports to the district, or complaints from neighbours.

According to bylaw enforcement officer Chris Race, 1,529 suspected suites have been identified since 1992. Of those, 859 have been double billed for utilities, 447 were removed or unfounded, 167 exempted and 56 are still in the process.

To date this year, there are also 78 suspected suites, 54 are being doublebilled, and there are 119 exemptions.

A house is considered to have a secondary suite usually when there is a separate kitchen downstairs and there

is a locked door between the upper and lower floors.

There are, however, some exemptions, such as when the lower floor is clearly used for storage and the homeowner simply wants to keep the suite intact for resale value or future use.

Another issue council needs to discuss is whether or not someone with elderly parents living downstairs, or a nanny, is still considered as having a secondary suite.

“We need to research and define secondary suites,” said Atebe.

District staff will also bring back to council a cost-benefit analysis to determine how worthwhile it is to spend resources tracking down these suites, and whether or not these costs can be recovered. A date has not been set for further discussions at the council table.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 2010

OPINION

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

Is battling the HST futile?

T

he HST is being foisted upon British Columbians, and consumers are going to pay tax on items they never had to before.

From hair cuts to bicycles, tack on another few bucks to your bill. While it may not sting much at the time when you line up at the cash register, add it up over the year to see how far both Victoria and Ottawa are reaching into your pocketbook to pluck away a few more hardearned dollars.

And what about the timing? Could it be worse?

The Canadian economy is just starting dust itself off and re-merge from the doldrums of the global recession.

Yes, we may be slightly ahead of our cousins south of the border and other countries around the globe, but recoveries can be fragile and don’t necessarily benefit greatly from casting the net a little wider to cover consumer goods and services that previously escaped sales taxation.

Thankfully, there is opposition coalescing against the HST, but it seems the barn door has been open a pretty long time for taxpayer rage to be anything more than futile at this point.

Still, that hasn’t stopped former B.C. Premier and South Delta resident Bill Vander Zalm from making a whirlwind tour of the province to decry the HST. It has also created a strange political bedfellow since NDP leader Carole James is on the same mission. After all, it’s her job to oppose government policy when she sees fit to do so.

The provincial government should be taken to task to explain why the HST should become a staple item on the bottom portion of our sales receipts.

Perhaps that answer is a year or so away when the perceived benefits to business – a more simplified and less costly way of tax collecting– are felt.

Maybe by then business will be willing to share those cost savings with the consumer and our cost of living will actually flatten, or stays within comfortable reach.

Put an end to salmon wars

n October, this column brought news of a long-awaited treaty deal with the Yale First Nation, under the hopeful headline “Peace comes to the Fraser Canyon.”

It didn’t take long to receive a reaction.

“What peace are you referring to?” asked Ernie Crey of the Sto:lo Tribal Council. “The Yale treaty heralds more conflict, not less.”

A community of 150 people, the Yale members are preparing to vote on a constitution and treaty that grants them ownership of historic salmon fishing sites in the canyon, along with land, forest and mineral rights and about $12 million in compensation.

It comes at a critical time for the fishery, as a judicial To inquiry into the alarming state of the Fraser River sockeye stocks begins work for a report due by May of 2011.

Along with climate change, fish farms and billions of hatchery-raised Pacific salmon “ranched” by the United States and others, control over the narrow canyon where all fish must pass is a crucial factor.

The most contentious part of the treaty is that it would give the Yale authority to regulate access to key fishing sites, mainly eddies where salmon gather to

rest. The treaty makes it clear it’s not an exclusive right to fish, a federal negotiator assured the Chilliwack Progress recently, but the Yale would have a say on crossing their treaty settlement lands.

The eight bands of the Sto:lo Tribal Council reject the treaty, and the whole notion of Yale as a separate community from the Sto:lo, who occupy reserves below the canyon. Crey notes that the Yale band was once part of the Union Bar band, and that Yale chief Robert Hope’s grandfather was once chief of the Seabird Island band. Both are Sto:lo member bands.

“Bob’s dad was registered at Seabird Island for years, but picked up and moved his family up to Yale back in the early 1960s,” said Crey, whose m home village is Cheam near Agassiz.

Of course, these band divisions were arbitrarily imposed under the Indian Act. The history of the region is detailed in a carefully documented 2001 book, A Sto:lo-Coast Salish Historical Atlas, edited by Keith Thor Carlson for the Sto:lo Heritage Trust. It describes how Ottawa outlawed transfer of hereditary property rights in 1884 (the potlatch law) and native fish sales in 1888.

Whatever order had been imposed by

B.C. Views

Fletcher

Sto:lo clans over the centuries unraveled. Black market use of disputed sites was one result.

This is not to suggest that all was calm before European contact. Far from it. Archaeologists have found rock fortifications all along the canyon, evidently used to spot and repel raiders coming upriver in canoes.

A journal kept at Fort Langley from 1827 to 1830 provides a snapshot of conflict between communities. During those three years alone, the Cowichan launched four attacks on Chilliwack, and dozens of other raids were recorded from Washington state up the Fraser and the B.C. coast. Oral histories suggest some full-scale wars, but most of the attacks are believed to have been raids to seize dried salmon and slaves.

Now Ottawa and B.C. need consent of only the Yale community to attempt this treaty to restore order at the most vulnerable point of the Fraser River system.

The Sto:lo objections are understandable. They have the most detailed records of occupancy, trade and cultural practice of any aboriginal community in B.C. They don’t wish to go cap in hand to a splinter group for permission to fish where their ancestors have fished for thousands of years.

But for the sake of the salmon, they should give this a chance to work. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Victim Services gets little recognition Editor, The Record: I am writing in response to Bill Campbell’s letter to the editor of March 25 headlined “Supporting crime victims.”

I too volunteer at Victim Services, and have done so for two and half years now. I agree with Bill and his comments about who we are and what we do in the community. I feel my contribution to the victims of crime and violence does go unrecognized.

It is unfortunate that people only affected by violence, crime and disaster Letter writers support Sturgeons on the Fraser developer Howard Meakin, who is bidding against the District of Mission for waterfront property.

Property issue should be public Editor, The Record: Mayor James Atebe said developer Howard Meaken should go through the “front door, not the media.”

Tell me, why should the developer not go to the ones who are really footing the bill? Why should we (taxpayers) be kept in the dark about what is being done with our money?

I can see why other developers would steer clear of this unfriendly city, that would be in competition with

anything a developer would want to do.

I can also see why Mission voters will look for a new and competent mayor and council to handle their finances in the future.

With the exception of Coun. Jenny Stevens, the only one who would fight for us, I can’t say I’m very impressed.

Gwen Woods Mission

Seeing visions of future tax increases Editor, The Record: Municipal taxpayers of Mission, I urge you to write to our beloved Mayor James Atebe and ask him who is going to pay for his wondrous waterfront “vision?”

I think we all know the answer – you and me!

Wow, this year a 5.88 per cent property tax increase, and next year the sky’s the limit if Mayor Atebe purchases the former Meeker Cedar property.

It seems that Jenny Stevens and the two other councillors opposed to Mission municipality purchasing

the former Meeker Cedar property are the only ones with any modicum of sense. I know who I will be voting for as mayor next time.

What I cannot comprehend, is why is it that every time someone steps up to the plate to increase jobs or make Mission a better city our mayor and city councillors go out of their way to deter them?

I call for an open vote from every household and business that pays taxes in Mission. This way, perhaps Mayor Atebe will know what our vision is too!

Mayor won’t cooperate with developer Editor, The Record: Howard Meakin, along with the CBC, pulled off a great April Fools Day joke. It incorporated his Mcbarge that he plans to bring to Mission Harbour.

The prank was aided by the mayor of Vancouver, Gregor Robertson.

What is very sad about this is the fact that Gregor will help out Mr. Meakin to have some fun, but our Mayor James Atebe will not help out Mr. Meakin for the betterment of our community, as we all too painfully know.

Charles Sloan, Mission

Silverdale sprawl threatens waterfront Editor, The Record: Why is it that there has been virtually no progress on planning for Mission’s waterfront development over the past decade?

Why has the district obstructed waterfront developers by secretly bidding against them for a critical piece of land?

The answer was provided by Mayor James Atebe, who finally admits that for the municipality to be involved in two big projects, the Silverdale development in southwest Mission and the waterfront, was too much. So the district put the waterfront project on the backburner.

These statements reveal the extent to which corporate interests are directing our community’s future. We have turned our back on the waterfront’s promise of a compact community, revitalized down-

town, and opportunity to reduce car dependency (by optimizing access to the Westcoast Express), in order to fast track planning for car dependent megasprawl in environmentally sensitive Silverdale.

For our mayor to state that since zoning has been passed for Silverdale Neighborhood One (phase two is already being discussed) Mission will finally be able to focus on the waterfront is either naïve or deliberately misleading. Silverdale sprawl will continue to consume our community’s resources for decades to come.

Essentially, the waterfront is in direct competition with Silverdale sprawl, and sadly, Mission council has chosen regressive sprawl to accommodate the future growth of our community.

Tracy Lyster, Chair CAUSS Mission

clearly understand what it is we can provide when families are in need.

When crime hits close to home for any person, who is left feeling helpless and alone, we are there.

To the ministry in charge of funding, I am upset that there has been no consideration to the people in our community and their needs.

When were the discussions about people’s lives and their hardships placed so low on your priorities of need in the Mission community?

We are asking the people who took it to find it in their hearts

to realize who they stole from and bring it back. That shed was a $600 investment for us, which is a huge amount of money to a non-profit organization.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 2010

YOUR VIEWS HST good policy, bad politics Editor, The Record: Re: Consumption taxes are all the rage (B.C. Views, March 31).

Tom Fletcher’s column is one of the few grown-up comments I’ve seen about the B.C. HST. I would emphasize two substantive issues and one process issue.

As you mentioned, the HST raises revenue from income tax evaders; the more they spend on high-end services – mani-pedis, expensive hair treatments, heli-skiing, and so on – the more tax is collected, especially compared to the extra $15 a year I’ll pay in HST on haircuts!

The second issue is that unlike income tax, there is no refund for prior years’ consumption taxes so governments don’t have the double whammy in recessions of both lower current taxes but also refunds from capital loss and business tax loss carrybacks.

The anti-HST crowd have much in common with the Tea Party rabble in the United States - the only group which answers YES to a poll which asks if they support a) lower taxes b) lower government spending and c) more government services! Bill Vander Zalm and the BC NDP are taking a juvenile unprincipled stand against an efficient revenue raiser needed to reduce deficits.

The Federal Conservatives poisoned the well – and created the federal budget deficit – by reducing the GST, a terrible policy move criticized by all tax analysts. The B.C. Liberals are in the unenviable position of implementing the HST, good policy but bad politics, necessary to prepare for higher health care spending in the next two decades.

Don Miller Nanaimo Letters writers say it is extreme for police to employ decommissioned military hardware.

Axe the tax, and cut spending Editor, The Record: Tom Fletcher says, “Scrap the HST? Sounds great, but then what?�

The answer: reduce government spending!

There is much bureaucracy, ineffective, arrogant, intrusive, spendthrift.

Slash it, including by eliminating laws

and regulations and do-gooder functions.

Yes, the big expenditure is health care, a fool’s game whose costs and failures were predicted.

Use of armour is ‘overkill’ Editor, The Record: RE: Police bring armour to bust, April 1 edition The Record.

Look at the UN treaties that Canada has signed onto. It is illegal to use military personnel or equipment in a “war� against a

country’s own citizens.

Beyond that, this is completely and utterly absurd.

It is like bringing a SWAT team to tell a frat party to turn the music down.

Overkill to the 10th degree.

How the people of Canada continue to put up with this totalitarian nonsense is a mystery to me.

Editor, The Record: Tanks and TAVs are tactical armoured vehicles used by the Canadian Forces. At times the vehicles have been armed by the forces with machine guns and grenade launchers.

The RCMP have acquired two

TAVs, minus the artillery, and are driving them on the streets of Mission.

RCMP Sgt. Thiessen said in the Abbotsford News, April 3, “people should get used to seeing them around.�

Excuse me, but I don’t think so.

The only tanks I’ve seen rolling through the streets in Canada were in parades.

Editor, The Record: I’d like to invite you to think about some other aspects of the HST that you may not have considered.

There is nothing wrong with the concept of a “flow through� tax that provides input tax credits to business. The Liberals claim they are adopting the HST in order to make business more competitive. But there is no need to harmonize with the federal government to achieve that.

The province could easily make PST work the same way as GST, and apply it to all goods and services.

They could then reduce it to three or four per cent, and it would be truly revenue neutral for government and consumers, and business would not pay.

The problem with the HST is that the province is handing over its sovereign constitutional authority to set, collect and control taxation in the province to the federal government.

In addition, by keeping it at 12 per cent, they are going to drive a larger proportion of the tax base underground. This has happened all over Europe, where in places like the U.K., they are losing between $2030 billion in direct VAT losses due to leakage outside the legitimate tax structure.

Most VATs there started off at around 12 per cent and are now between 14 and 17 per cent, and as high

as 24 per cent in some nations, killing consumption, economic growth and jobs.

The biggest beneficiaries of the HST will be the large resource companies that do not sell directly to the public, who will net a tidy profit from this on the backs of working people. None of those resource companies will create a single job or pass a nickel of savings on to consumers, because their business and pricing models are set by world commodity prices.

For many, the HST will add another $2,000 - $2,500 to their household expenses yearly. For many low income, seniors and working families, it is the difference between a family vacation or not, a new TV or a new bike, meals at restaurants, a home renovation, new appliances, or summer camp for their kids.

The HST applies the same to a person earning $30,000 as it does to a person earning $300,000 but is a much bigger proportion of the smaller income earner’s wages, so they must go without and reduce their consumption. The number of small business people we hear from daily, especially in rural B.C., who are sick with worry about what this tax will do to their businesses, is alarming to say the least.

Former premier Bill Vander Zalm has launched a citizen petition to stop the introduction of the harmonized sales tax.

Vander Zalm was issued the official forms Tuesday by Elections BC to gather signatures opposing the HST. His Fight HST organization

has 90 days to collect the signatures of 10 per cent of eligible voters in each of the province’s 85 constituencies.

A successful petition requires a standing committee of the legislature to meet and decide whether to submit the petition with legislation to stop the tax, or put the issue to a provincewide referendum. B.C.’s Recall and Initiative

Hear what you’ve been missing and get the whole story.

Act was passed in 1995 and has never been successfully used to recall a Vander Zalm politician or reverse a government initiative.

Even a successful petition is no guarantee of success, since the HST is being introduced in B.C. and Ontario July 1 by the federal government. Its legislation passed in December, and the B.C. legislature is currently debating a bill that would repeal the provincial sales tax to make way for it.

The HST combines the provincial sales tax with the federal goods and services tax, using GST rules that extend the combined 12 per cent tax to a range of services currently not subject to the seven per cent PST. B.C. Finance Minister Colin Hansen said he welcomes a debate on the HST, which shifts much of the sales tax burden from businesses to consumers, because once people understand it they tend to support it.

Asked about Vander Zalm’s petition, Hansen

didn’t refer to the former Social Credit premier directly. He complained about “misinformation” being circulated, such as an email claiming a senior couple with an income of $40,000 a year would pay $2,100 in additional tax under the HST. “That’s absolute nonsense,” Hansen said.

“They would have to be spending $30,000 a year of their $40,000 income on goods and services that are not currently subject to a provincial sales tax. That’s just not possible.”

Despite new sales tax revenues from previously PST-exempt purchases such as restaurant meals, home repairs and haircuts, the B.C. government expects to collect less this year from the HST. Exemptions or credits have been created for home energy bills and new homes up to $525,000, as well as low-income credits that Hansen says one out of four B.C. residents will receive along with GST credits. The B.C. credit is $230 a year, paid to individuals with income up to $20,000 per year and each member of a family with total income of $25,000 or less.

both awareness about hunger and funds to fight against it. Because Mission Central doesn’t have a kiln, the students made the bowls at Hatzic Secondary School and glazed them on Tuesday with help of Hatzic art teacher Wendy Lewington.

The bowls need to be fired one more time before they are ready to use, explained Mission Central teacher Carolyn Armistead, who organized the project for students in Grades 5-7.

When the bowls are ready, some will be donated to the community for the event, and the rest will remain at the school where Armistead is organizing another Empty Bowls fundraiser.

“Because the hook in the whole idea is to help with hunger, we will have people come in from the community to talk about it,” Armistead explained.

She will also make a large batch of soup and offer staff at the school a chance to purchase the bowls and enjoy some of her homemade soup.

The soup will also be available to her students. She is encouraging them to bring a canned food donation in exchange for the tasty treat.

All the funds raised will help the local food bank, she said.

Learn to build a soap box racer BY

NEIL CORBETT

Mission Record

Kids with a need for speed can learn how to build their own race car at the Mission Soap Box Association building event this weekend.

The annual race is set for June 19, so there is still more than two months to get a car built, but association spokesman Remco Bergman said his group wants to help parents and kids get rolling.

“We want to make it easier and easier for people to build a car,” he said. “We hope to attract dads, moms, grandparents and kids.”

The sport is for children aged eight to 14.

Fraser Valley Building Supplies is helping to sponsor the race. The weekend’s building will take place at their store, at 7072 Wren

MANDATORY OFFICIAL DIMENSIONS

St., from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Bergman said the store will offer good deals on soap box starter kits, and have supplies for repairs, including wheels, axles and roll bars. They will also have qualified workers on hand to help with the derby car projects.

The race is run on a half-kilometre course down Stave Lake Street, beginning at 11th Avenue, and Bergman said the kids can fly down that hill at speeds of up to 40 km per hour. There will be a pre-race event on June 6 for racers to test their cars.

Bergman noted that the association also has about 10 of its own cars, and they will be made available for kids who want to race, but don’t want to build their own car.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 2010

Bone docs cry foul over on-call pay cut Fraser Health denies patient care will suffer

BY JEFF

NAGEL

Black Press

A move by Fraser Health to pay orthopedic surgeons less money to be on call at night has prompted those doctors to warn that patients with broken bones may not be treated as quickly.

Compound fractures need to be set fast for best results and delays can cause irreparable harm, according to B.C. Orthopedic Association co-president Dr. Peter Dryden.

But Fraser has reclassified the orthopedic surgeons to a less urgent on-call payment system that gives them $164 less per night spent on call and requires them to get to hospital within two hours if a patient needs treatment, instead of the previous 45 minutes.

Those surgeons now get $452 for a night on call, down from $616.

“We are going to adjust our service levels until we can come to an agreement with the government about returning

to the original classification for the care of our patients,” Dryden said.

He said the change – which has happened only at the Fraser and Interior health regions – means longer wait times and possible hospital transfers.

Dr. Peter Blair, Fraser’s medical director for surgery, said the surgeons are “understandably upset” about the pay cut but defended the change as one that should have been made years ago.

He said the 45-minute response time and accompanying stipend always should have been reserved for cardiologists and abdominal surgeons who deal with more urgent cases like heart attacks and gunshot wounds.

It’s also rare that orthopedic surgeons are actually called in to hospital, he said, although it’s still necessary to pay them to be at the ready.

Blair said the reclassification doesn’t mean the surgeons won’t show up for two hours after they’re called.

Legal aid cut A regional legal aid centre in Surrey is among six across B.C. to close due to budget constraints.

Lawyers contracted by the Legal Services Society are replacing the offices as agents that will handle legal aid applications, but critics say it will reduce service to low-income clients.

Also unplugged is the LawLINE phone service that gave free legal advice, after the Society got $2 million less from the province this year and its investment income is down due to lower interest rates.

WIN!

He said they, like other doctors, are expected to continue to respond as quickly as possible to the more urgent and severe cases.

The reclassification saves the provincial health budget about $60,000 per hospital.

Blair said the money isn’t actually paid out by

Fraser Health, although the region is charged with administering the payments to local doctors from the province’s Medical On Call Availability Program.

“It’s not money we’re going to save and be able to pump into the region’s health budget.”

dic surgeons share call duties.

If that happened, Blair said, patients needing emergency orthopedic treatment would be transferred to the regional trauma unit at Royal Columbian Hospital.

Abbotsford surgeon Dr. James Rose said patients need immediate attention

when a broken bone or displaced joint constricts a vein.

“There are a number of clinical situations where rapid treatment is warranted and required to prevent long-term damage,” he said, adding there are nearly 2,000 such cases in B.C. each year.

Camping, fishing interest jumps BY

TOM FLETCHER

Black Press

Opening-day provincial campground reservations were up 35 per cent over last year after the B.C. government launched a new reservation system April 1.

Environment Minister Barry Penner credits the jump in camping reservations to new options available by phone or through HelloBC. com, such as the ability to book specific camp-

ground spaces. This has not only created a gold rush for prime summer spots near beaches and trails, but also allows people to book adjacent spaces for friends and relatives.

The system recorded 5,400 bookings on opening day, compared to about 4,000 on the first day available last year, Penner said. The interest in the outdoors also showed up in fishing licence sales, which took in $185,000 on the first

day, nearly three times the $63,000 total from last year.

Campers appear undeterred by rate increases at various parks that also took effect. Penner said the increases are on average only one or two dollars, and still leave provincial campsites a bargain compared to setting up camp at a national park or private campground.

Provincial park camping fees are generally between $10 to $24 per

party, per night for vehicle accessible sites, and $5 to $10 per person, per night for back country sites. Some popular spots such as Cultus Lake go for $30, which is still cheaper than nearby nonprovincial campsites, Penner said.

Opposition MLAs blasted the camping reservation system in the legislature, after discovering in March it would be run from “Hello Guelph Ontario.”

“How does the minister rationalize to this house the transfer of B.C. tax money to the Ontario economy while people in the minister’s own town are losing their jobs today?” Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson asked Tourism Minister Kevin Krueger.

Penner provided the answer the following day, telling the legislature that no bids had been received from B.C. providers for the new system.

Simpson said the Ontario-based system doesn’t accept major credit cards, and this creates problems for provincial parks such as Bowron Lakes in the Cariboo, a popular canoe circuit that receives many of its bookings from Europe.

Penner offered to work with park operators to improve the system.

NDP tourism critic Spencer Herbert said the government’s decision to take over direct control of Tourism BC and impose the harmonized sales tax on tourism operators and restaurants will cost the industry thousands of jobs.

Teaching youngsters how to be Fish Smart I

n my third year as fly fishing club coordinator I had 50 kids sign up between two schools.

This was a stretch for a guy who up to three years before had no training as a coach or teacher. Having hit my choke point, and knowing I was in big need of some mentoring, I wrote the venerable Lefty Krey. Through a series of letters and phone calls I was directed to Phil Genova, founder of the Je Fly Fishers Apprentice Program, and author of First Cast: Teaching Kids to Fly Fish.

Phil was a great mentor who encouraged me to get the kids involved in local fisheries restoration projects as well as teaching them

to fish.

My efforts led us to becoming involved with the DFO (Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada)-sponsored Fish Smart program. This is an interactive program designed for teachers to teach sport fishing and respect for the environment in the classroom.

As a program for kids, the designers wanted young people to write portions of the content, which is where my kids came ff in. In May of its second year, three of the members of the Kwahyquitam club wrote content, and were published in the DFO’s Fish Smart manual.

One of those three was my oldest daughter.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 2010

Two day event with Andreas Schroeder Author Andreas Schroeder is coming to the library for two days on April 13 and 14.

On Tuesday, April 13, at 7 p.m.

Schroeder will be reading and talking about his newly published book, Renovating Heaven.

On the following afternoon, the author will be running a writing workshop about how to get published in Canada from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on April 14.

Renovating Heaving is a fascinating account of growing up in the Fraser Valley in the 1950s and early 60s. It is replete with autobiographical undertones, and is hilarious, bizarre and heart-rending by turns.

Schroeder, who describes himself as a “defunct Mennonite”, was a Mission resident for 27 years.

Renovating Heaven tells of Schroeder’s family’s life on a small farm near Mission and within the Mennonite congregation founded by his grandfather, in which each one of the 62 members was related to Schroeder on his mother’s side.

On Wednesday, April 14, Schroed-

Flowers of hope Mission-Abbotsford MLA Randy Hawes met with Canadian Cancer Society mascot Connor and made a contribution to start off Daffodil Days in Mission recently.

Mission Fire and rescue along with volunteers and Connor came out to support the Canadian Cancer Society’s weekend Daffodil Campaign. April 9 has been declared Daffodil Day and the month of April is Daffodil Month.

Mission residents are encouraged to join the fight against cancer by wearing a daffodil pin to show their support for all those affected by cancer. Watch for canvassers coming to your door and support them with a donation.

er’s Getting Published in Canada workshop will include guidelines for pitching your work to agents/ publishers, submitting your manuscript, staying on top of the editing/ publishing process, the ins and outs of a book contract, promoting your book, e-publishing, and making a living as a writer.

Lifetime Learning Society and the Mission library are co-sponsoring the workshop.

Schroeder currently holds the Rogers Communications Chair of the Creative Non-fiction Department at UBC. He is an accomplished, award-winning author in many genres, including fiction, essays, autobiographical prose, poetry and children’s literature. Renovating Heaven, his most recent work, was nominated for a B.C. Book Prize in 2009.

Registration is required for both programs. For more information, or to register, call the library at 604826-6610.

Chamber works with businesses to draw visitors to the community BY

MICHELLE FAVERO

Spirit of the Fraser

D

ID YOU KNOW one in five businesses is impacted by tourist activities in Mission?

From fishing and outdoor adventure to culture and the arts, Mission has long offered a variety of tourist activities that continue to draw visitors.

The Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce has promoted and supported the development of a strong tourism industry in Mission since the days of the Strawberry Festival in the early 1920’s.

Then residents from New Westminster and Vancouver were encouraged to take the train and visit the largest strawberry producing area in Canada.

Operating the Visitor’s Info Centre on the Lougheed highway for over 40 years, the Chamber of Commerce has a deep commitment to tourism in Mission. About 10,000 visitors annually, drop in looking for activities in the area. “Often visitors are looking for the heritage attractions in Mission,� explains Allison Jack, Visitor Centre coordinator, “however, we are seeing an increasing trend to more outdoor activities.�

Janis Schultz, Powerhouse at Stave Falls coordinator leader, BC Hydro, concurs. With 17,550 visitors in 2009, the Powerhouse has seen an increase in the awareness. BC Hydro estimates over 40,000 visits to Hayward Lake Park below the Stave Dam last year.

Fraser River Heritage Park, conversely, had over 100,000 estimated visits last year, 30,000 alone on Old Car Sunday.

Mission’s population is estimated at 38,000, so obviously many of these

visitors are coming from outside of the community. “Increasingly, we are seeing visitors from other parts of the Fraser Valley during the [Envision Twilight] concerts.� remarks Don Brown, executive director of Fraser River Heritage Park.

Stave Lake‌ Not the Wild West With the development of the Stave Lake Interpretive Forest Recreation Plan, Bob O’Neal, manager of forests, District of Mission, is encouraged by the area’s tourism potential.

The Florence Lake Road (aka Burma Road) has been notorious as Mission’s ‘Wild West.’ The vision to transform it and create an engaging area for affordable family recreation has been in the works for the last three years.

Identifying road upgrades as the first challenge, $1.1 million of funding has been secured to develop the first 12 km of roadway. Stakeholder groups applaud the idea of a user-pay system that will keep the area safe and sustainable.

With the proposal of a Tim Horton’s camp at Pine Lake in the wings, the economic benefit from this area is substantial.

As tourism has developed in Mission, in 2008 the District of Mission Economic Development Office funded a Community Tourism Plan. In Spring 2009 the Mission Tourism Plan was completed, a joint project with Tourism BC, Vancouver Coast and Mountains BC and local tourism partners. Its primary objective was to create a strategy to develop and promote Mission as the Fraser Valley’s best choice for tourism experiences, making the most of Mission’s unique natural setting, opportunities for outdoor adventure, and its cultural and historical assets.

Of the tactics in the Tourism Plan, the Chamber Tourism Committee identified the creation of a tourism logo as an immediate achievable. With the help of Left of Heaven Promotions, the new tourism logo was developed. From the forest to the river, our city and all the businesses within it can offer to visitors the “Spirit of the Fraser.� “Branding is an important first step in creating an effective identity. The launch of the logo is an important first step in making Mission the best choice as a destination for visitors,� comments Sandra Currie, chair of the Chamber Tourism Committee. “I look forward in using it in my promotions.�

Why not plant one of B.C.’s native plants?

For beauty and fragrance Mock orange (Philadelphus Lewisii), is a perfect pick for a flowering shrub. Mock orange has bright green oval shaped five centimetres leaves.

The bark of the plant is brown that will eventually peel off.

The stems are strong and hard and the plant stands erect. The stiff branches and prolific flowers make this an excellent indoor cut flower. Mock orange will grow to three metres tall and, in early summer, produces a four petal flower that has an orange-like

aroma.

For a colourful border Red-flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum) is one of the first plants to flower in the spring and provides an early food source for hummingbirds. The red flowering currant has drooping clusters of 20 or more pale pink to deep red flowers. This one to three metre tall deciduous plant grows well on disturbed sites and will even thrive on rocky slopes. It is a perfect addition

For winter colour Red-osier dogwood (Cornus stolonifera) might be considered a poor cousin to the ever popular and prolifically blooming Pacific dogwood, but on a snowy winter day its multiple bright red stems add a vivid splash of colour to a pond’s edge or other moist corner of your yard. Left without pruning it can grow from one to six metres

in height and produces abundant modest but beautiful white flower clusters.

For fencing Have you ever wanted a strong impenetrable fence for your backyard?

To avoid the cost and unneighbourly appearance of chain link you might want to consider either black hawthorn (Crataegus douglasii) or Nootka rose (Rosa nutkana).

These two very different plants will provide an absolute

barrier to any unwanted intruders.

Choose Nootka rose for an open area where a hedge of a specific height is desired. Once established its mutiple large prickles will stop either man or beast from pushing through.

As an added bonus the hedge will have large pink flowers in late spring and bright red rose hips during the winter.

Black hawthorn is best kept as a closely packed boundary line where its mature height of up to 10 metres

A

Shine of Rainbows proves you don’t need millions of dollars in special Hollywood effects to produce a good movie; all you need is a good story, a beautiful setting and some convincing actors for a great one.

This final movie from Reel on the River is about an eight-year-old boy named Tomas who learns about nature, love and acceptance.

The story begins in an orphanage where Tomas, sitting alone, is watching a pigeon struggle to get free from between the window and some blinds. The shy boys gets up from his desk, opens the window, and the bird flies away.

Just as he has freed the bird, Maire, who lives on beautiful Corrie Island off the coast of Ireland, frees the young boy from the orphanage.

She has been watching Tomas for a while and decides to bring him home

John Bell, who plays Tomas, befriends a seal in A Shine of Rainbows.

with her. They take a ferry to the wind-swept island where Tomas, as shy as ever, is uncertain about his new home.

Maire’s husband, Alec, is still sad they can’t have a child of their own and is disappointed when he meets Tomas. He’s worried the young boy is too small, too

weak, and not cut out for life on Corrie.

He’s also worried Maire’s heart, which is already in a fragile condition, will be broken if he leaves. But Maire is determined to help Tomas see all the colours around him. Her warm smile and gentle gestures go straight to the boy’s heart.

She teaches him legends of the island, shows him how to communicate with seals, and how to paint a picture of love with all the colours around you.

Tomas begins to show colours of his own and slowly, he starts to build a relationship with Alec, but is it too late after Maire falls

Benefit concert for Haiti New ONTS show postponed at high school begins this week The Haiti benefit concert at Mission Secondary school, featuring Jared Fowler, has been postponed.

The Aldergrove musician was scheduled to play at the school cafeteria on April 8, but a fire two weeks ago damaged parts of the school and is still not ready to host the event.

The new date for the concert is May 13, and Fowler will be one of the last on the bill. The show starts at 6:30 p.m. and there will be a $5 cover charge.

Fowler is now resting at home after an 18-day tour around the province. He played in places like Prince George, Fort St. John

and Oliver.

“The entire trip was incredible,” Fowler told The Record. “I had such a fun time playing music everywhere I went.”

He hopes to visit many of those places again when his musical career is more established.

Fowler continues to perform around the Fraser Valley, promoting his debut indie album Vancouver Rain. He will be at City Blends Coffee House in Abbotsford on April 24 and at the Thirsty Penguin in Langley on May 14. Both shows start at 8 p.m.

More more info about Jared Fowler, visit www.jaredfowleris.com.

ill? Tomas loves his new mom and his new home, and maybe even Alec.

The movie stars John Bell as Tomas, Connie Nielsen as Maire, and Aidan Quinn as Alec. It is directed by Vic Sarin.

This Canadian/Irish film is based on a book by Lillian Beckwith. I’ve never heard of the book, but now I can’t wait to pick it up.

Movies are usually never as good as the book, right?

I don’t often get to watch the Monday night movies because of other work commitments, but I’m glad the scheduled cleared up last week for the final show of the Reel on the River winter series.

What a treat. And I think nearly everyone in the packed theatre thought so too. For those of you who missed A Shine of Rainbows, you’re in luck. The movie is scheduled to be released in Cineplex theatres on April 9.

Shane Yellowbird coming to Mission Country musician Shane Yellowbird will be in concert in Mission on May 6.

The Hobbema, Alta. cowboy celebrated the release of his second album Its About Time by playing the Ryman Auditorium in the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. Not bad for a singer who only released his first album three years ago.

Barefeet on the Blacktop,

the first single from It’s About Time is Yellowbird’s fifth top10 single when it debuted at number 10 on the Canadian Country Charts. Now that Canada has found him, he has set his sights on conquering the U.S. market, starting with a new video shot in Nashville for the latest single Watching You Walk Away.

Yellowbird will be perform-

ing at the Clarke Theatre with special guest Chad Brownlee.

The concert is presented by Country 107.1 and Rock.It Boy Entertainment. Tickets for the show are on sale at Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.ca) for $25 plus service charges.

Doors open at 7 p.m., the show starts at 7:30 p.m. The Clarke Theatre is located at 33700 Prentis Ave.

“You should’ve gone to the theatre. If more people would go to the theatre, I wouldn’t be your favourite waiter. I’d be your favourite actor,” says Charlie, who is a good actor still looking for his big break.

He has given himself two years to make it, but you never know what will happen.

In Nick Hall’s comedy, Charlie is the some-time actor, some-time waiter who finds that life is not as neat and tidy as a three-act play. Directed by Chris Loat, Eat Your Heart Out is funny, sweet, and only showing for three weeks!

Opening Nite Theatre Society is a non-profit, volunteer-run theatre group that has been bringing great theatre to Mission since the mid1990s. Members have come and gone, and in 2006 ONTS got its own space on North Railway

Avenue which was slowly turned into a small black box theatre.

Through it all, ONTS has been committed to bringing great plays and great performances to the community.

Check out Eat Your Heart Out this April, and you just might find that your favourite neighbour, or favourite waiter, or favourite postman is also your favourite actor.

For those on a budget, ONTS is offering a halfprice preview on Thursday, April 8. The show runs April 10-24, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., with two Saturday matinees April 17 and 24 at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $12, and are available at Murdoch’s BookShoppe on First Avenue, or at the door. Opening Nite Theatre is at 33227 N. Railway Ave., right across from the WestCoast Express Station.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 2010

Mission Community calendar ENJOY YOURSELF

All of us should eat and drink, and enjoy what we have worked for; it is God’s gift.

This nice little verse is from Ecclesiastes 3:13, and when I read it, I immediately thought of its appropriateness and how it relates to almost everyone in our daily struggles to try and balance our work and play. Simple as it is, this verse just struck me right and made me feel good, because it was a scriptural reminder that we are all supposed to enjoy the fruits of our labor.

I hope we can all take this to heart. If we feel guilt or some other negative emotion regarding what we have worked so hard to achieve, then our accomplishments may not be as enjoyable, nor is this what God wants for us. God wants us to be physically and mentally sound, and balancing our time between work and recreation is necessary to achieve this. This is important not only for us, but for our relationship with our loved ones. So, within reason and with some degree of discretion, we should try to enjoy the blessings that our Lord gives to each of us, and we should prayerfully thank Him for the enjoyment of life.

Our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, Ben Voth, passed away peacefully on April 1, 2010 at the age of 83. The youngest of eight children, Ben was born on August 6, 1926, in Plum Coulee, Manitoba.

He moved to Chilliwack in 1945, and married Catherine Unger in 1947. Ben and Catherine lived in Chilliwack, on the same property, for 40 years and spent the last 23 years in Abbotsford.

All his life Ben was a builder.

He built a successful career as a general contractor and realestate developer. And he was a leader and a visionary who helped build the credit union movement, locally, provincially and nationally. Having served on the board of directors for Envision Credit Union from its inception in 1954 (38 years as chairman of the board) until he retired in 1996, he was bestowed the title of Chairman Emeritus.

In his private life, Ben tinkered in his workshop, constructing things like an articulating-arm light for Catherine’s quilting projects and a waffle-baking apparatus that is nothing short of a genius invention. A Vancouver Canucks seasonticket holder since 1968, Ben enjoyed watching hockey, playing golf, travelling, camping, fine dining and the occasional White Spot hamburger.

Ben is survived by Catherine, his wife of 63 years; children Don (Elma), Ken (Betty), Lorraine (Don) and Rod (Febe); ten grandchildren; thirteen great grandchildren; and sisters Mary and Margaret.

During his last weeks, Ben was tenderly cared for by the staff and volunteers at Christine Morrison Hospice in Mission.
