Rally supports water decision Residents flocked to municipal hall to show their opposition to private involvement in water

BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

More than 50 people rallied outside municipal hall Monday afternoon in support of council’s decision last week not to construct an additional water source at Stave Lake for Mission and Abbotsford under a public pri-

vate partnership (P3).

Mission citizens were supported by Chilliwack and Abbotsford residents, many waving signs stating their opposition to have any private involvement in the project.

“We think [Mission council] made the right decision,” said Janet Chalmers, spokesperson for Water Watch Mission-Abbotsford (WWMA), which organized the demonstration.

Chalmers, concerned about the way Abbotsford Mayor George Peary has been talking about proceeding with a P3, also noted Mission councillors need to know residents are behind the decision.

“Whatever it cost us, it’s worth it.”

WWMA began planning the action last Friday after members heard from at least one councillor there was to be an in-camera meeting Monday afternoon. Chalmers said she became worried when the mayor didn’t respond to an e-mail questioning which items were on the agenda.

“Keep our water public and keep the talks public too,” said Chalmers.

“Paying for our water is a nightmare — it’s a natural resource,” said Anne Degiovanni, who See NO INTENTION Page 4

√ CANADAvotes2011: Q&A with the four main federal election candidates in Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission

Randy Kamp, Conservative party

Craig Speirs, New Democrat Party

Peter Tam, Green party

Mandeep Bhuller, Liberal party

Q1. What have you done in the past three years to make you a good Member of Parliament?

A: “I guess the most notable thing is that I have been the MP. Of all the candidates, I’m the only one who has that on my resume. When I took the job in 2004, I set myself some standards. The first one was to work hard, the second was to think carefully about the issues, and thirdly, to treat everybody with respect.”

Kamp said his office has helped thousands of people in the past seven years and has good relationships with provincial and local politicians. “I’ve done those things in addition to other duties assigned by the prime minister.

Q1. What have you done in the past three years to make you a good Member of Parliament?

A: “In the past three years, I’ve been involved in all three levels of government” – the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, Union of B.C. Municipalities and Metro Vancouver.

“At UBCM, I put forward a resolution (on limiting the use of plastic bags in stores) that got … voted as an accepted resolution to limit the use of plastic bags in grocery stores.” That was sent on to the provincial government. “It was dismissed outright by the provincial government.”

Q1. What have you done in the past three years to make you a good Member of Parliament?

“I’ve got to know the community by doing a lot of volunteer work because I think an MP is a person who represents the community. I’ve been in many organizations like the Scouts and Rotary (Meadow Ridge), which teaches fairness, honesty and accountability, which I think is something that’s really needed.”

He said his experience in working with municipal council has also given him an idea about what it takes to take on these roles.

Q1. What have you done in the past three years to make you a good Member of Parliament?

A: “I’ve been contributing to this community through my participation with the arts council.” Bhuller is also a volunteer director with the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Youth Centre Society, and is a commissioner on the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows parks and leisure services commission.

He’s also helped the Ridge Meadows Child Development Centre fundraise.

Q2. What is the most pressing issue this election and how would you address it?

A: Water. “I just don’t think we’ve done enough. I think that the pressures on our salmon stocks, open net pens for salmon farming, are just wrong. We got to go to a closed net system ... where we can filter the water. It’s just too critical.

He wants the federal government to insist that the provincial government improve stormwater management and farm impacts on streams.

Q2. What is the most pressing issue this election and how would you address it?

A. “The most pressing issue right now … is water. Mission is facing a water problem (the proposed P3 of its new water transmission system from Stave Lake to Mission and Abbotsford). Tam says that means the privatization of the municipal water supply.

He said the P3 of the water system in Mission and Abbotsford could make it subject to the North American Free Trade Agreement which prohibits Canada from controlling export of natural resources once they begin.

Q2. What is the most pressing issue this election and how would you address it?

A: “I think the most pressing choice is about leadership and who can provide a stable national government, which, of course, requires a good, strong economy, with a low-tax plan for jobs and growth. I think the stability is what’s important.” He said other parties are presenting a high-tax agenda that could stall the economy. “We need to be sure we exit this economic downtown … and return to a robust economy with a balanced budget.”

Q3. Who are your top three inspirational heroes or leaders?

A: “I’d say my top would be my father.

We grew up in Maple Ridge and he was a very unassuming, modest man and he raised us to see the value of treating other people well.”

Reform party founder Preston Manning was his No. 2 choice. “I think he brought to the Canadian political scene some new and interesting and even inspiring ideas. I think he did a lot to form my political and philosophical outlook.

“Everyone knows that I’m a practising Christian and a follower of Jesus, and he was one of the world’s greatest leaders. So that would be on my list, as well.”

Q4: Education, the economy or social welfare – what takes priority for you and how would you deal with it?

A: “We’ll, they’re obviously all very important and they’re all related and connected.

Without a strong economy, you’re not going to have the resources to put into education or welfare. So I do think a full-employment strategy ... is the best thing for all those things. On the other hand, a strong economy is driven by a well-trained and well-educated work force, so I think it’s important that there are investments in that, as well.”

Q3. Who are your top three inspirational heroes or leaders?

A: Gandhi is one of my most inspiring figures in all of history. And he says, be the change you want to be in the world. To me, that says it all.

“Definitely Tommy Douglas [former Saskatchewan premier, known as father of medicare]. He showed that there’s much strength in an idea. “He said you can lock up a mouse or a man, but you can never lock up an idea.

His third hero is his son Zachary, who died of a heart ailment when he was eight months old. That taught him to try to pay back B.C. Children’s Hospital for the care they gave to his son and to help heal the earth. “He taught me never to be afraid, No. 1, of my emotions, and No. 2, of putting myself out there to create that change.”

Q4: Education, the economy or social welfare – what takes priority for you and how would you deal with it?

A: “I think the one leads to the other. I think they’re all related.” He said the federal government’s Economic Action Plan focused on construction projects rather than education. “I think the more we can do to help people to get an education, the better the effect will be on the economy and the less pressure on the social welfare system.”

Q3. Who are your top three inspirational heroes or leaders?

A. “Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., because he said change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but through continuous struggle.

“We’re struggling to get the Green policies and platforms out there. It’s a struggle because we’re up against the same old status quo. We’re up against well-financed campaigns.”

Tam said Mother Theresa and Mohandas Gandhi are his two other heroes. “They have a lot of quotes that I use that gives me direction in the way I handle things.”

Q4: Education, the economy or social welfare – what takes priority for you and how would you deal with it?

A: “The economy — because everything depends on it. We definitely need some sensible, rational tax shifting. The current tax system right now with the low corporate tax is simply creating a greater gap between the rich and the poor.”

“We need to change and shift our taxing system,” and shift revenue into investment into renewable energy.” The powerful nations are the ones in control of energy. The money can come from corporate taxes and cancelling the jet fighter program, he said.

Q2. What is the most pressing issue this election and how would you address it?

A: “I think the most pressing issue for people, it’s about people this election, is the economy. How I plan to address that is by empowering people, through the support they need to be able to become more actively engaged in job-readiness skills.”

Q3. Who are your top three inspirational heroes or leaders?

A: “My first extremely inspirational hero is (physicist and cosmologist) Stephen Hawking. My second would have to be Mohandas Gandhi and my third is a local hero to all of us and that is Rick Hansen.

Stephen Hawking, is to me, the true picture of being able to do anything you choose to do. Nothing is impossible is the only message that I get from Stephen Hawking.”

Bhuller has spina bifida and has to use a wheelchair sometimes to get around. He used to drive, but is no longer able to.

“I’m hoping that this is the extent of it.”

He’s adapted so he can continue to do two things: contribute to raising his family and “definitely contribute to my community, because I don’t know anything else. My community means everything.”

Q4: Education, the economy or social welfare – what takes priority for you and how would you deal with it?

A: “To me, all three are inter-related. To have a starting foundation you need those some of those social supports sometimes to give you a start in life, to give you a break. I believe in having those structures in place for people to be able to begin to make the effort to gain the skills to be able to contribute to the economy.

“Education is an ambition of many and it is my view and the party’s view that if you get the grades, you get to go.

“I think we need to get back to that. We need to not make fiscal excuses to avoid fundamental institutions, education and skills training. The only institutions that will allow people to become active in jobs and active in their economy.”

He also stated that information about a closed meeting, held according to the Community Char-

There was never any intention to reconsider the decision in a closed meeting and such talks can only be done in a public format, Atebe added.

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

Court delays cause rise in policing costs this is not working.’”

BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

BY THE NUMBERS

P

olice officers sit outside courtrooms in heavily backedup Surrey Provincial Court awaiting their turn to be called.

If they’ve come for a trial that has already been adjourned multiple times, it could be their third or even fourth appearance in an attempt to testify in the case.

And if the institutional delay is ruled excessive, the case may be tossed out and the accused will walk free, rendering the officers’ time and effort null and void.

Critics say it all adds up to a colossal waste of taxpayers’ money.

And the hours police spend in court is just the tip of the iceberg.

By the time they set foot in court, officers have spent many hours investigating and interviewing witnesses.

DNA tests or other forensic work and expenses may have been ordered.

After a suspect is collared, there is also a mountain of paperwork to be completed, notably the report to Crown counsel requesting charges.

What’s more, in recent years the duty to disclose evidence to the defence has become far more onerous and now consumes much more police time than in the past – particularly if there’s translation and transcription costs involved with nonEnglish speaking witnesses.

“The costs are huge for us,” Delta Police Chief Jim Cessford said, recounting one case where disclosure and transcription costs alone devoured more than $250,000 over six months.

“To have the case denied because of unreasonable delay is really, really frustrating for everyone,” Cessford said.

“That really sends a bad message to everyone.”

Cases are increasingly being tossed out over delays across B.C. because jammed courthouses can’t keep up.

More than 2,100 criminal cases have dragged on so long, they are at

• 73 police officers now working for every judge, up from 50 in 2000.

Cessford said his force would still put the same resources into a similar case today.

“On a much less-serious offence, we would be very, very careful about how far we would get into the investigation,” he said.

Even when charges aren’t at risk of being quashed, there are still dangers from delay.

Witnesses may forget details and weaker testimony – from civilians or police officers – can result in the accused walk-

risk of being quashed.

The reason? A severe shortage of judges – as well as sheriffs and other court support staff – because of chronic provincial underfunding of the system.

Police officers realize what happens in the court system is out of their hands.

But investigations that go nowhere or die in the courts without justice being dispensed hurt officer morale, Cessford said.

Cases can be quashed by judges or stayed by prosecutors who anticipate a judicial stay because of delay. Crown sometimes bargains

down to a lesser charge to secure a guilty plea.

Prosecutors are now increasingly triaging incoming charge requests from police because

JUSTICE

As a result, lesser offences such as non-violent property crimes are less likely to make the cut, particularly if the evidence doesn’t provide a very strong likelihood of conviction.

The trend is also affecting policing decisions on the level of resources committed to an investigation – particularly for less-serious crimes that could be bogged ddown in court delays an and ultimately quashed.

ing away unpunished.

“Memories start to fade,” Cessford said.

“They’re not as sharp as if the case had been brought forward much sooner. That can have an effect on the outcome.”

The police job of protecting and managing witnesses – tracking them as they move to new cities or provinces and getting them to come back to testify – also becomes more onerous as cases drag.

“The witnesses lose interest and they tend to cut us out after a while,” Cessford said.

“They lose confidence in the system. They think ‘this is not justice,

Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender fears too many suspected criminals aren’t even getting into court in the first place.

They’re being turned aside by prosecutors who can’t justify loading so-called minor cases into the already jammed system.

And he suspects police increasingly aren’t pursuing cases they know will never get to court.

“People are frustrated by that and the police are frustrated by it,” said Fassbender, who cochairs the Lower Mainland District RCMP/ Mayors’ Consultative Forum and sits on Metro Vancouver’s policing issues committee.

OPINION

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

Apology was needed It took several days, but Stephen Harper has finally done the right thing. He has apologized to people who registered to attend his rallies, and were then told to leave after being admitted.

The issue has been gaining plenty of attention over the past few days, and despite his party’s claim that few people are interested in mundane campaign details which they call “process,” it may end up having an effect on the overall election.

Harper is seen by many people as being in a bubble, allowing no access to anyone who doesn’t agree 100 per cent with his views. People who wish to attend must pre-register. They must then show identification to enter. After they are given name tags and show ID, presumably organizers then surf Facebook and check the parking lot, as those bounced include a political science student who posted a photo of herself with Michael Ignatieff on Facebook. Another one who was bounced had an NDP bumper sticker on his car.

The RCMP, who provide a security detail for Harper and other leaders, have been enforcing the orders to kick these people out of the rallies — something the force now acknowledges it should not be doing. What happened to candidates being unafraid to discuss issues with voters who don’t agree with them on everything? Has free speech, which is a cornerstone of democracy, been sacrificed so that the Conservatives can cruise to a majority?

Some years ago, when Harper appeared in Langley as the new leader of the Canadian Alliance, he made a good speech at Newlands, but made almost no personal contact with the audience.

However, if he wishes voters to elect his party’s candidates and give him a majority government, his campaign has to be a lot more open than it has been thus far. An election is a contest of ideas — not a tightly-scripted infomercial.

Fall election looks likely T

he B.C. legislature is getting set for a spring session from the last week of April through May. Premier Christy Clark has kept her options open and held her cards close since winning the B.C. Liberal leadership in February. She announced Monday that she is seeking the nomination to fill the seat vacated by Gordon Campbell, with a byelection expected in May. But a byelection would have had to be called by now to put Clark back on the front bench in time for the start of the spring session. And there are two legislative tasks that won’t wait: passing a $40-billion budget for the fiscal year that has already started, and changing the format and date of the harmonized sales tax referendum that has been announced for June.

A spring session must begin with the new premier coaching from the sidelines, but assuming Clark wins in Vancouver-Point Grey, it sets up her triumphant return to square off with the new NDP leader in question period before the session ends in early June.

A mail-in ballot for the HST referendum will allow weeks for responses. Government says it will be August before result is known.

Clark has indicated she wants the HST question decided before a general election is called. Thus a September vote becomes the most likely scenario.

The launch of TV ads by both B.C. parties is another sign of election preparations. Any new leader wants to take advantage of a honeymoon period that might be brief, To and Clark’s upbeat ads with the tagline “this is just the start” set the tone.

NDP leadership candidate John Horgan talks about looking forward to a campaign where he hands out brochures with his picture, not Campbell’s.

But the policy-challenged opposition has offered up another attack ad featuring, you guessed it, a picture of Campbell on a cereal box.

For the B.C. Liberals, the policy hits keep coming. First it was increasing the minimum wage, and now Clark’s “families first” machine is moving on BC Hydro.

Rich Coleman has a wellearned reputation for getting things done and he has wasted no time since Clark assigned him to the energy file. BC Hydro will continue with its application to raise rates nearly 10 per cent this year, but Coleman has begun a review aimed at paring back that and future increases exm pected to total 50 per cent by 2016.

Coleman quickly determined that delaying the imminent launch of BC Hydro’s smart grid project would be a false economy.

Instead, he focused on an expensive seismic upgrade, to the Ruskin Dam in the Fraser Valley. A major upgrade to the John Hart Dam on the Campbell River will likely go ahead, since the reservoir is also the city of Campbell

B.C. Views

Fletcher

River’s water supply, but Coleman wants BC Hydro to “restate its business case” for that and other big construction projects.

The Ruskin project is budgeted at about $800 million and is the type of project that can encounter costly surprises when digging into the dirt.

Coleman has directed BC Hydro to look at decommissioning the old dam instead.

Did he really “direct” BC Hydro? Here’s what Coleman told me. “It’s still Hydro’s decision at the end of the day I suppose, but certainly they’re going to have to report in to me on it, because I told them they have to.”

Coleman has also appointed three senior bureaucrats to find options for savings in BC Hydro’s plan, and to report back to him by the end of June. That will give the government enough time to craft a rate relief program for BC Hydro customers, just in time for September.

The Mission Record Thursday, April 14, 2011 7 The Mission Record Thursday, April 14, 2011 7

Keep private involvement out of water talks Editor, The Record: The democratic response by District of Mission council to defeat the P3 deal is encouraging but sadly mayors at Mission and Abbotsford are seemingly too often cut from the same cloth.

In Mission the mayor misunderstands public opinion, claiming he feels it is only the private operating part that the public object to, whereas, it is private involvement with public water, period!

Abbotsford’s mayor is far more dictatorial in his arrogant claims that

it is likely his council will vote to submit the P3 proposal, but that he doesn’t want to prejudice how individual councillors will vote. Wow, a veiled threat if there ever was one.

It is simply ironic how a democratic process like a public consultation, this time on water, our most important ingredient to life, can meet with such divergent council interpretation of effective communication with the public. At Mission, typically the public is cynical of council and expect a sham hearing, but giving credit when due, this council meet-

ing was actually fair and reasonable.

Council supported public opinion, much to the chagrin of the mayor and two councillors.

But it is more the process to which I am alluding. To their benefit, Mission was open, permitted the public to freely express opinion. District staff willingly answered questions and explained many of the missing parts of information, which has been a major failing of selling the concept.

By dramatic contrast, Abbotsford, following a most autocratic and faulty communication process, did

not permit dialogue with city personnel or council.

Both councils are recognized for their atrocious ability to communicate which often conveys an autocratic style and an arrogance that gives people the impression that council knows best and they will give you what they think you need.

Abbotsford and Mission deserve more enlightened mayors. Those who will be respectful to the electorate but also become more informed on topics and be sensitive to public needs. This must start now with the

realization the public clearly do not want private involvement, in any manner whatsoever, with water.

In closing, many of the Abbotsford mayor’s remarks leave the public angry and in sheer disbelief anyone could be so arrogant and self-important, to try and ram through decisions that are against public interests and opinion but faulty and misguided, at best. The November election must bring new blood for the sake of respective municipalities.

George F. Evens Mission

Let Abbotsford go it alone Council to be commended Editor, The Record: Sometimes it is most illuminating when politicians go off script and utter their real opinion. Thus, we residents of Mission should thank Abbotsford Mayor George Peary for his abusive dismissal of our rejection of this project and his subsequent threats over our fates for defying the P3 water project.

The tail of the dog, eh, Mr. Peary? We’ll pay a premium later for daring to defy the wisdom of King George, he mutters. It is obvious that Mr. Peary considers his city, due its population only, as

the one who should be making decisions and we are simply along to pay.

This isn’t a partnership of equals, it is a top-down autocracy. Mission’s mayor and council should frame such utterances and read them before they have to undertake joint venture discussions with Abbotsford, such as the water and sewer commission.

Let Abbotsford proceed alone. If Mission needs more water in the future, we can do it a lot cheaper without them. I’ll bet Mr. Peary still expects to be able to construct

his pipeline through Mission property; maybe he’d be willing to pay a premium for using our land?

The fact that Mission Mayor James Atebe, a member of the water/sewer commission, was/ is in favor of P3 is another cause for concern. Only public attendance at council prevented the acceptance.

We must remain watchful against another side door approach to this topic since Peary says Abbotsford will go forward and Atebe has not ruled out another variation of P3.

Joseph Garneau Mission

Editor, The Record: Re: P3 water project rejected, April 7 edition.

Mission council is to be commended for their courage and foresight in voting to reject the P3 water proposal. The people of Mission spoke and you listened. Our water is a public resource and should never

be privatized — not the ownership or even, in the case, the operation of the water system. There are other ways to get the job done without putting our future into jeopardy.

Your grandchildren will thank you.

Patrick O’Brien Mission

Let residents decide on project Editor, The Record: Re: Council rejects P3 water project, April 7, edition.

My message to Mission council: You are here to represent and act on behalf of the whole community, not on behalf of a bunch of CUPE workers who are trying to justify their overpaid — most of them not needed — union jobs!

As a property owner and taxpayer residing in Mission, I can’t believe something as important as our water system will not be decided by the residents of Mission. Let’s remember, Mission is a small com-

munity with a small revenue base, with a majority of the revenue coming from homeowners. We have very little industry here, and 100 per cent funding a project like this will not bring industry here. They will look at the tax rate once we have to pay for our public water and settle on another community! Mission is lucky enough to have a great neighbour like Abbotsford who is willing to put us on their back (100,000-plus residents) and improve our infrastructure. This is going to handcuff Mission for decades!

Hillstomp event runners appreciate good course and run organization Editor, The Record: On behalf of all of the Mission Hillstomp runners who participated in the 10K and 5K, I just wanted to personally thank each and every member of the Mission Hillstompers and their friends who came out and volunteered to hand out drinks, food, coffee, timing chips, race packages, and to guard corners and tell us which way to go.

The race was flawless, in my opinion. I loved the new route. You had us weave through Heritage Park, and took advantage of the widened and surfaced woodsy trail.

It was a smart race route decision, because it minimized how much we had to repeat the route. I found the road marshals friendly and attentive.

It was extra fun for me because I had a long run

planned for my triathlon training so I went back out and did the route again!

The food was great, the coffee was awesome, the draw prizes impressive, and the awards ceremony very prompt.

I am not a Hillstomper. I train for triathlon so I find it necessary to schedule my workouts quite specifically and therefore run solo, but I must say that to

have such a giving club in our town makes me proud to be a Mission runner.

I heard nothing but good comments from around me.

This must be about the 10th race for me, and even though I’m getting older (55 this year!) I’m having more fun than ever when I race here in Mission.

Criminologist Daryl Plecas of the University of the Fraser Valley says there’s not enough judges, prosecutors or courthouses to deal with the caseload.

He traces the rise in congestion to government’s decision nine years ago to close two dozen courthouses across B.C. “Whose brainchild was that?” Plecas asked.

“You in effect narrowed that funnel such that no matter what police do, the capacity of the court system is only so much.

‡‡‡Second

on their files who never seem to suffer consequences.

It all threatens to corrode public confidence in the justice system among law-abiding citizens and weaken the deterrent of penalties for the criminally inclined.

“There used to be a sense that if you do the crime, whatever level of that it might be, you’re going to suffer the consequences,” Fassbender said. “I think people are beginning to question that.”

Too many defendants and skilled defence lawyers know how to exploit delays, he said.

Local cities are intensely concerned about rising policing costs.

Fassbender said court delays are driving those costs up.

If officers appear in court on their regular work shifts, that’s time they aren’t available to actually police the community, forcing detachments to backfill with other staff.

And if officers are in

court on their days off, overtime must be paid.

Either way, Fassbender said, delays in court translate into more taxpayer dollars being spent and sometimes fewer boots on the ground to patrol communities.

He wants “creative solutions” pursued – even night court sittings if that’s what it takes.

But he also said the province must hire more judges to help reduce the case backlog.

think that was sustainable.”

Attrition resulting in fewer sitting judges and reduced court time came despite a growing population, more police officers being hired, and a greatly increased complexity of cases.

For example, an impaired driving trial that once took a couple of hours can now take three days. Some police officers do nothing but handle disclosure requirements.

And court delay means a longer, more challenging job of protecting witnesses in serious crimes, Plecas said.

“The delays are just devastating in so many ways,” he said. “We’re saying at the end of the day to a victim, ‘Your case is not being dealt with because we don’t have a system which is capable of doing this.’”

Some relief could be on the way.

New administrative penalties instead of charges for impaired driving may mean fewer drunk drivers clogging the courts, Plecas said.

That might – over time – help reduce the court case backlog, which Plecas believes is the main reason behind the reform that some observers have criticized as a de facto decriminalization of impaired driving.

Not everyone is convinced the shift to roadside impaired driving penalties is in itself a silver bullet that will relieve pressure on the system.

Samiran Lakshman, president of the B.C. Crown Counsel Association, said early evidence suggests police who are freed up from the hours spent on impaired driving investigations, the accompanying paperwork, and court time, are getting back on the street faster and pursuing other cases to bring to court.

“They’re going and finding other criminals,” Lakshman said.

“They’re policing the community in ways they weren’t able to when they were spending time on time-consuming impaired driving files.

“It’s great for the community. But it does nothing to relieve the pressure of how many of these files are coming into the system.”

Ruskin decommissioned?

In a bid to control hydro rate increases, minister considers shutting down Ruskin Dam

BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Energy Minister Rich Coleman is exploring options to rein in BC Hydro rate increases, including the possibility of decommissioning two of the utility’s old dams that need costly reconstruction to withstand an earthquake.

Ruskin Dam in the Fraser Valley and the John Hart Dam on Vancouver Island are being studied to determine if they can be decommissioned, Coleman told Black Press in an interview last Thursday.

The 80-year-old Ruskin Dam is slated for an almost complete reconstruction to make it earthquake safe. BC Hydro estimates the project would take six years and cost as much as $850 million, to preserve a dam and upgrade a powerhouse

to supply about 33,000 homes.

Coleman said he has sent BC Hydro “back to the drawing board” on Ruskin, after receiving assurances that it is technically possible to lower the level of Hayward Lake over time and decommission the dam.

Coleman is touring the John Hart dam on the Campbell River Friday with BC Hydro engineering staff to see if there are options to decommission it. The John Hart project was completed in 1947 by the BC Power Commission, BC Hydro’s predecessor. It is one of three dams on the Campbell River that supply about 11 per cent of the electricity used on Vancouver Island.

Coleman announced a formal review of BC Hydro’s upgrade plans Thursday that are projected to push electricity rates up by as much as 50 per cent in the next five years.

BC Hydro is scheduled to start a $930 million project to install new digital “smart meters” in homes and businesses all over the province this summer. It is also in the midst of a major overhaul of its dam and transmission system, and is under instructions from the

B.C. government to add new capacity and achieve energy selfsufficiency.

Coleman said the smart meter program is well advanced, and the savings BC Hydro expects from a “smart grid” will pay for the upgrade, so scrapping or delaying that would not give relief from rate increases. Projects to add turbines to the Mica and Revelstoke dams on the Columbia River are also well along and provide needed capacity, he said.

Coleman has instructed the review panel to report back on options by the end of June. The panel members are John Dyble, deputy minister to Premier Christy Clark, deputy finance minister Peter Milburn and Cheryl WenezenkiYolland, the former comptroller general who is now associate deputy minister of the Environmental Assessment Office.

The panel’s terms of reference say it will “include a financial and administrative review, including consideration to rates structures and may consider corporate governance to the extent it provides opportunities for improved effectiveness and efficiency.”

All invited to Hatzic elementary’s centennial celebration Saturday T

he classrooms and hallways at Hatzic elementary are buzzing this week as students, teachers, and volunteers prepare for the school’s centennial celebration April 16.

The processional, led by piper Jamie McGrath, will enter the gym at 1 p.m., followed by an aboriginal welcome and art ceremony by carver Johnny Williams, and presentation of a button blanket. Two students will address the visitors, followed by greetings from alumni. At 1:35 p.m. the Centennial Choir will perform a medley of songs from the 20th century. At 2:30 p.m., there will be a special Earth Day tree planting ceremony at Hatzic Park, organized

by Communities in Bloom and the District of Mission.

Although the oldest two classrooms in the school opened in 1911, this was not the first schooling available to children in the Hatzic

area. About 1890, construction of St. Stephens Anglican Church was started, and a classroom opened in 1899; by 1902, school trustees Arthur McTaggart, J.A. Catherwood, and James Lawrence were approving expenditures of $145 for repairs to make the space suitable for school classes — $10.20 for firewood, $35.97 for furniture and desks, and $17 for putting in blackboards.

Sha

By June 1910, the enrolment had increased and the Mission School Board approved $3,000 for a new school; tenders were being received the following year, and on Jan. 4, 1911 a concert and dance were held to celebrate the completion and opening of the new two-room school. By the end of the month, an

additional teacher was hired.

In 1923, the school board appointed Miss Christine Morrison as principal — the first woman to hold such a position in the district.

Morrison had attended Hatzic Elementary School herself; after normal school, she returned and had many “firsts� in her 46-year career within the Mission school system.

In the following deron cades, Hatzic elementary survived the difficult years of the “Dirty Thirties.�

One former student remembers coming to school in 1942 and all the Japanese students being gone; his teacher explained they and their families were being sent east of the Rockies because of the Second World War. In 1954, one

room and new water chlorination were added, and in 1959, a two-room addition was built for $33,026.

During the past four decades, the school has continued as the heart of the local community.

The school logo and house team murals were added, and the new Hatzic Huskies mural in the gym is one of the centennial legacy projects. Outside, the community garden has been started with large barrel planters.

Throughout all these years, the Parent Teacher Association was busy with raising money for Christmas treats, sports days and field trips. On April 18, they will be helping throughout the school. Activities and demonstrations include a “modern� classroom, aboriginal cultural room featuring bannock and dried salmon, the Mission Literacy Bus, sun hang do demonstration, Japanese origami cranes project, Adopt-a-Block and information of the school’s Centennial Legacy Projects. A timeline of historic photographs and news clippings will line the hallway.

Everyone in the community is urged to attend — meet old friends, share stories of your school days, and experience the excitement and achievements of today’s students.

Council ponders dog park fence

A fence will be erected around the off-leash dog area at the north end of Centennial Park, but the style and materials have yet to be determined.

Parks and recreation department staff recommended a split-rail fence, but councillors were concerned about aesthetics and if large dogs could jump over it and small ones could squeeze through.

Council is considering installing fencing around the northern area of Centennial Park which faces 14 Avenue. This section of the park was officially opened as an off-leash dog park last fall, but has seen limited use.

JASON ROESSLE PHOTO

There has been moderate activity in the park since it opened last fall, but staff expect more dogs in the area once a fence has been installed.

“The biggest complaint has been the lack of fencing around the off-leash area,” said Ray Herman, director

of parks and rec. Neither staff nor councillors have heard of any close calls of dogs running into the street or being hit by a car, but Herman notes most people are staying in the southern end of the park.

“We hope a fence will bring the use back.”

Split rail would cost

between $15,000 and $21,000, while a chain link fence would be more than $30,000.

Mayor James Atebe suggested planting shrubs too, and Coun.

Heather Stewart predicted the park will be used more when temperatures increase.

“This was in our mas-

ter plan,” she said.

“We should be viewing this as a pilot project and move on [to other sites].”

Staff will be researching other options, including fence structures, costs, and timing for the project. Council will discuss the issue again at a later date.

Up to voters to decide on drunk driving conviction, says Liberal

Safety is our highest priority. We work with fire departments to support them in dealing quickly and safely with natural gas and carbon monoxide emergencies.

BY PHIL MELNYCHUK Black Press

Mandeep Bhuller’s campaign staff and volunteers are still supporting him even though he was convicted of drunk driving in 2003.

“They appreciate the gravity of my bad choice but they don’t hold up a bad choice eight years old against me because there’s a consistency of public service before and after the incident,” he said.

Since word came out last Thursday about the conviction, the Liberal candidate for Pitt Meadows-Maple RidgeMission said he’s been getting phone calls, from friends, acquaintances and the public that have been “understanding and supportive.”

But he’s not assuming the conviction won’t hurt his chances at the polls May 2.

“Quite honestly it would be arrogant and irresponsible for me to say that.

“Every voter makes their choice based on what they feel is relevant information. All I’m saying is that I’m extremely apologetic about a very bad choice that was made eight years ago.”

Bhuller was stopped in Nov. 29, 2003 after leaving a bar and charged with two counts, driving with a blood level over .08 and impaired driving.

Both charges are normally laid in such cases with one usually dropped and the other prosecuted.

He fought the impaired driving charge in 2005 but was convicted, fined $800 and banned from driving for a year.

Former B.C. premier Gordon Campbell also was convicted for drunk driving in Hawaii in January 2003.

Bhuller served on Maple Ridge school board from 1999 to 2002 and pointed out that he wasn’t in public office at the time of the conviction.

“This was something that happened to me when I was wasn’t engaged in public service.

But I didn’t get a public platform to announce that this occurred.”

He also disclosed it on his screening forms he filled out for the Liberal party for the 2011 election, but given his com-

munity service before and since the incident, the party approved his candidacy.

He said he’s discussed the conviction over the years during his involvement in youth crime prevention and recre-

ation programs but until Thursday it hadn’t been in the campaign.

But he couldn’t say if he would have disclosed it or not during the election if hadn’t come out in the media.

“I can’t say that I

wouldn’t have — because given a situation where it needed to be addressed I wouldn’t shy away from it. I wouldn’t back away from it, that’s all I can say.”

Bhuller’s official agent Brian Rice said they expected the issue to come out during the campaign but not this early and wanted to be the first to do it.

The issue had a personal meaning for Rice.

His mother was killed by a drunk driver when he was 16.

That required serious reflection for him, but he noted Bhuller has paid his penalty and it shouldn’t have prevented him from seeking office.

Rice wrote a letter of support that was e-mailed last Thursday to supporters and the media.

“This is my letter of support. I know about this and I’m supporting him.”

Campaign organizers had discussed the issue but hadn’t decided when they would have done it.

“We would have put it out ourselves. How we were going to do that was beside the point.”

Mounties search for hit-and-run vehicle

DAID gets flood protection grant money

Mission RCMP are looking for a vehicle involved in a April 3 hit-and-run.

Local Mounties say around 5:40 a.m., a pedestrian walking westbound near the 7600 block of Strachan Avenue was hit by a southbound vehicle,

The provincial government has granted $320,000 to the Dewdney Area Improvement District (DAID) for flood protection projects.

Work will include removing sediment from the mouth of Legace Creek, and deepening and widening an existing 3.4 kilometre

which didn’t stop, but continued south, then turned west on to Seventh Avenue.

The pedestrian suffered serious, non-life threatening injuries. A witness described the vehicle as a newer-model, shiny, dark-coloured car. The

vehicle likely has damage to the hood, windshield, and/ or roof, said Mission’s Sgt. Miriam Dickson.

channel on the east side of Hatzic Lake, said a government press release.

The DAID is responsible for one-third of the total project costs, estimated at more than $474,000. The project is expected to be completed by February 2014 and will be funded by the B.C. Flood Protection Program.

Abby P3 application goes forward without Mission

BY KEVIN MILLS Black Press

Some quick alterations to the Stave Lake water project business case will have to be made by Abbotsford city staff, now that the District of Mis-

sion has dropped out of the proposed joint project.

The altered plan will be presented to council on April 18, and if approved, followed by an application for funding.

Abbotsford Mayor

George Peary has confirmed with PPP Canada that it will still review the application despite the changes.

“They are still very interested in the idea,” he said.

On Monday, Mission

rejected a plan to enter into a public/private partnership (P3) to create a fourth water supply to augment the publicly operated Norrish Creek, Cannel Lake and 19 wells that presently make up the two cities’ water

system.

The proposal was to create a $300-million water treatment plant and pump station using a private conglomerate to build, design, finance and operate, under a 25year agreement.

Tracy Kyle, Abbotsford’s director of water and solid waste, said the proposal is now a little smaller, closer to $284 million.

The new plan will eliminate the expansion of the Maclure reservoir

and removes Cannel Lake water from being treated in the new plant.

Both of those projects will be addressed later, as part of the Abbotsford-Mission Water and Sewer Commission.

“We are adjusting the business case to reflect these changes and make it an Abbotsford-only project, separate from the water commission,” said Kyle.

Mission is only responsible for 12 per cent of the cost on joint capital projects, so while the dollar value may change, Kyle said the overall business case won’t be that different.

“My sense is that it will be strongly supported by council,” said Peary.

Contained within the staff report will be answers to 15 questions that were raised during Monday night’s council meeting. The public was invited to share its thoughts on the P3 issue, but many were unhappy that council refused to answer questions.

“If I had opened the floor up to questions, things would have got out of hand,” said Peary, who added people were already shouting at council members from their seats.

And there will be plenty of time for questions said Peary.

“People seem to forget, we are only voting on an application for funding.”

He said nothing will be decided until November, when the public has final say during a referendum.

“I’m sure P3 will be an election issue.”

Volunteers make Mission a better place in which to live

BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

Mission is blessed with hundreds of caring and compassionate citizens who give up their scant free time to make this community a better place.

During Volunteer Week, The Record focused on two organizations whose members give so much back to Mission, the Cedar Valley Lions Club and the Mission Junior Optimist Octagon International.

The annual Easter Egg Hunt, co-organized by the Mission Elks and Cedar Valley Lions Club, is a great example of local volunteers giving back to the community.

RECORD FILE PHOTO

Cedar Valley Lions According to club president Ken Westwood, one of the founding members of the chapter, there is a misconception that volunteering will eat up all your time.

“It’s not time consuming. Sometimes it can be as little as one hour a month,” he said.

The club is sitting at only eight members, and Westwood would like to see that number swell to approximately 20. More help equals more aid to Mission and its residents.

Mission Association for Community Living

Project-wise, the Lions are involved in several initiatives each year, including partnering with the Mission Elks for the annual Easter Egg Hunt at Fraser River Heritage Park, organizing a bus to take less privileged children to Stanley Park to see the Christmas display, sponsoring comedy shows, and giving money away to pay for music lessons and cover sports fees for those who couldn’t otherwise afford to play.

Another event Westwood is putting together is the Purina Dog Walk, slated for May 29. It will raise money to help cover the costs of service dogs. Check upcoming editions of The Record for more information.

“We need people who understand the importance of volunteering,” said Westwood.

“If you want things done in the community, we need help.”

If you’re interested in joining the Lions, they meet the second Wednesday of each month. Contact Westwood at ken1568@ shaw.ca for more information.

Junior Optimist Octagon International Club founder Rhett Nicholson put the chapter together in the summer of 2008 after looking around and seeing few opportunities for teenagers in Mission.

Nicholson, who also volunteers with the Mission Optimist Club, said the JOOI club’s main focus these days is the Optimix magazine, which is written and designed by teens. And while the group of 14 manages to get the edition out regularly, local writing submissions are always welcome, said Nicholson.

Members also volunteer with the District of Mission for Canada Day celebrations and offer their manpower to the Rotary Clubs for projects.

JOOI meets every Monday at Sue’s Copy Place (33123 First Ave.) at 6 p.m., and often times the group walks towards Fraser River Heritage Park picking up trash along the way and in the park itself.

For more information call Nicholson at 604-826-8372 or visit the Optimix Mag Facebook page.

Mission Raceway Park will host a number of Sports Car Club of British Columbia races again this year, featuring a variety of cars and competitors.

GERRY FRECHETTE PHOTOS

SCCBC season starts this weekend at MRP Four classes of racing

BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

Another season of road racing gets underway this weekend at Mission Raceway Park (MRP).

The local track will see racers from all over the region and the United States clamouring for points in the Sports Car Club of B.C. (SCCBC) opening races, held April 16-17.

“This is some of the cheapest fun you can have as a spectator,” said

club president Kevin Skinner. Admission is rarely more than $8 per adult, and that includes a full day of racing, with several different classes competing, and allows attendees to walk the paddocks and interact with drivers. As well, all Mission residents get free admission.

SCCBC has been hosting events at MRP for several years, and previous to that, used the now-defunct Westwood Motorsport Park in Coquitlam as its home course.

But Mission is a great place to race, said Skinner. “[Spectators] can see nearly three-

quarters of the whole track and it’s very fast. You can get a lot of speed going down the straight.”

While SCCBC is an amateur club, there have been some big names in the racing world who have come out to turn laps, including Gilles Villeneuve, Bobby Rahal and Michael Andretti.

This weekend features the first race of the season for both the Confederation of Autosport Car Clubs and the Westcoast Sportscar Championship, and there are four classes that compete under the SCCBC banner.

For those interested in getting into racing, SCCBC also offers courses to help get you behind the wheel.

For more information on the race series or driving training, visit www. sccbc.net or call Kevin at 604-8568957.

The race classes are defined as follows: • Production These cars are allowed limited performance improvements, and this is the entry level for most racers.

• GT

This class is the top tier of performance for production-derived cars.

Class determination is based on car weight and engine size.

• Formula Formula cars are pure race machines and fans will see formula Fords and Vees, running 1,600 and 1,200cc engines.

• Sports racing The cars are also pure competition units and are generally classed on engine size. This class hosts many endurance cars.

Midget A action Remembering a fishing icon starts up April Rufus Gibbs is credited with creating the Clendon-Stewart and Stewart salmon spoons 19 in Mission L Midget A fastpitch softball returns to Mission April 19 with a league game between the home team Fraser Valley Fusion and the visiting Ridge Meadows Pride.

The game will have no shortage of Mission talent as both teams have recruited players that got their start with Mission Minor Softball Association teams.

Playing for the Fusion are Alexx Carl, Megan Shurey and Paige Rutledge, for the visitors Meaghan Kinnee and Hilary Novakowski. On the coaching side are Fusion’s Craig Shurey and Brad Rutledge and Ridge Meadows assistant coach Colin Kinnee.

Shurey and Kinnee agree playing in Mission promotes fastpitch and opens the doors for the community to come and see the sport played at the highest minor level.

After playing A level softball, many girls from these teams will be moving on to play for college teams in Canada and the United States.

Future Fusion games in Mission will be held May 19 and June 16.

Game times are 8:30 p.m. at the Mission Leisure Centre field.

ast week Vancouver celebrated its 125th birthday. Our two Vancouver papers published a collection of interesting historical highlights.

What I missed seeing was the contributions of Vancouver to B.C. sport fishing. Since I didn’t see anything printed on the subject in those papers, I have decided to share over the next few columns, what I know on the subject.

Rufus Gibbs, of Gibbs/Nortac Tackle, settled in Vancouver in 1908 and established his Gibbs-Delta Tool and Stamping Works on Main Street. The business was destroyed by fire in 1912 and reopened at 56 Dufferin St, where Gibbs, along with his regular work, experimented in making fishing lures. His most famous being the Clendon-Stewart and Stewart salmon spoons.

Aside from business, Gibbs

enjoyed fishing and philanthropy and was noted as generous supporter of the Vancouver Boys Club. Among his munificent support of church works, was a generous donation to the historic St. John the Divine Church in Yale, which saved it from demolition in 1945.

A man of curiosities, Gibbs chose to Je live his life alone; 42 years of which were spent on an entire floor of Vancouver’s Patricia Hotel, without a television or a car.

Rufus Gibbs, not just a Vancouver icon, was and still is a B.C. sport fishing icon of both fish and men.

Cycling for Diversity leaves Mission May 16 for Victoria Mission’s Ken Herar and a small group of cyclists will be riding through several Lower Mainland communities

in May. This journey is called Cycling for Diversity and will begin May 16 from a high school in

Mission and will end May 21 in Victoria.

Herar and his team will stop and speak briefly in communities about the

importance of diversity and inclusiveness during this six-day trip.

The bike Herar will be riding has been loaned to

him by Wentings Cycle and Mountain Shop in Mission. Funds are being raised to buy the bike after the journey and

provide someone who is in need of a good source of transportation. The 14-city, six-day journey from start to finish is ap-

proximately 230 km.

The Business and Professional Women’s (BPW) Clubs of Abbotsford and Mission are accepting nominations for the Myrtle Evertt Woman of the Year Awards.

The nomination process has been streamlined and some of the criteria changed to promote a greater number of nominations. The committee has relaxed the qualifications this year to allow BPW Club members to be nominated.

Another change is the reduction in the number of years — from five to three — a previous nominee must wait to be re-nominated.

The award was established in 1994 to recognize and honour local women for achievement in business or in a profession. The BPW Clubs of Abbotsford and Mission invite community groups, women’s organizations, businesses, and individuals to nominate someone they know who exemplifies an outstanding woman.

This event is also a fundraiser for bursaries for one graduating young woman from each community who is going on to post-secondary studies.

Two nominators with the approval of the nominee must complete the nomination package.

For information contact Pratt, 604-819-5602, or wotynominations@ gmail.com. Nomination forms are available at www.bpwabbotsford.ca.

The event will take place on May 11.

Love Shines this Saturday Local artist launches debut album in Matsqui this weekend

BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Local singer Cathy Hardy will take a giant leap in her musical career when her first solo CD is released on Saturday.

Songs from Love Shines, her debut album, were written over 10 years, and Hardy hopes each song will inspire and lift those who listen to it.

She describes her music as spiritual and soulful, and her words can connect with many people holding different beliefs.

The album begins with the gentle sounds of the ukulele and Hardy’s soothing voice in her popular song, Love Shines. It’s a great way to start the album, and a nice lead in to the next upbeat tune, I Bind My Life to Love. Hardy plays the piano on this track while nicely incorporating other less known devices like the chekeree and buffalo drum, both performed by world musician Boris Sichon.

Sichon’s talent is showcased in

many other songs with different instruments, such as the ocarina, didgereedoo, singing bowls, and shofar.

And young Rebecca Sichon, who accompanies Hardy in Winter is Over, has a confident voice, and is sure to have a successful career in music ahead of her.

Guitarist Brian Thiessen and award-winning producer Philip Janz also join Hardy on the CD. Hardy’s voice is strong, steady, and emotional on all the tracks, regardless of the tune’s style.

“The songs pull from a lot of genres,” she said. “They are influenced by blues, southern gospel, folk, Middle Eastern, Celtic...”

Hardy’s CD release party takes place at 7:30 p.m. at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium in Abbotsford April 16.

Tickets are $15 each and available at Murdoch’s Book Shoppe on First Avenue, at House of James and King’s Music in Abbotsford, and online at www. cathyajhardy.com.

A CD release party for Cathy Hardy’s first solo album takes place this Saturday.

• MONDAY, APRIL 18: Mission Folk Music Festival presents acclaimed singer/ songwriter Eliza Gilkyson at St. Andrew’s United Church, 8 p.m.

For more info call 604-820-0088.

MFMF brings Gilkyson to Mission Eliza Gilkyson’s first studio album in three years will be released next month, and local music lovers might get a preview when the talented singer/songwriter performs here April 18.

Her music reflects her vivid vision of the world around her and the songs on Roses at the End of Time are no exception. Her subjects range from the universal, as in the Mexican based corrido Vayan al Norte, already hailed as a modern-day Deportees, and Once I Had a Home, a reflection on Palestine that taps into all humankind’s longing for place, to the deeply personal and achingly vulnerable love song Roses at the End of Time.

There is also a poignant collection of fragmented memories of her mother in Belle of the Ball.

The new album also expands Gilkyson’s repertoire of socio-political commentary.

These days, political commentary is not limited to traditional folk music and radical folk music is coming out in every genre of music, making it a great time to experiment with ways to get meaningful perspectives

Eliza Gilkyson will be playing at St. Andrew’s United Church on Monday, April 18.

across to a receptive public, said Gilkyson.

For the Texas-based musician, this meaningful perspective embraces sympathy for those who suffer at the hands of unfair economic and social systems, along with a recognition of the need to reinvent the ways we live our lives and a desire to connect the dots between our own complacency and the

decline of our culture.

This is heavy stuff, but, as always with Gilkyson’s work, it is balanced with a sense of humor and an abiding love for the natural world.

Although she often claims her first goal in her music is to make great art, the overarching message of the storyteller-as-everyman in Roses at the End of Time is a gentle

reminder for empathy.

Gilkyson grew up in California and New Mexico and is the daughter of songwriter Terry Gilkyson, known for compositions such as Greenfields, The Cry of the Wild Goose, and the Grammy Award-winning Bear Necessities.

Her musical upbringing included demos that she recorded of her father’s work,

as well as other musical ventures. She moved to New Mexico in the late 1960s, where she began performing and touring regionally.

She later moved to Europe to work with composer Andreas Vollenweider. Returning to the USA in the late 1990s, Gilkyson began releasing a series of critically acclaimed solo albums and started her own label (Realiza Records) in 1999. A year later, she released an album on Red House Records, for whom she’s recorded ever since.

Gilkyson has released 14 CDs and toured extensively.

She was inducted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame in 2003. Her album Land of Milk and Honey was nominated for a Grammy Award.

She performed at the Mission Folk Music Festival (MFMF) in 2001.

MFMF is bringing her back next week for an intimate performance at St. Andrew’s United Church, 7756 Grand St. at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance at Murdoch’s Book Shoppe on First Avenue or $25 at the door.

What’s Happening in Mission

THE SPRING OF LIFE

After the long cold night of winter, spring comes as the year’s dawn. In the midst of winter, it seems as if life is literally being pulled back into the Earth, receding from the surface of our planet. But each year spring inevitably arrives, and life surges once again, bursting out from the tips of trees and the earth itself in vibrant greens and yellows that can only signal that life is waxing once again. Life on earth has a rhythm to it, a pulsing cycle of waxing and waning tides. The sun rises; the sun sets.

The sap rises; the sap falls. Flowers bloom and flowers fade. We inhale and we exhale.

Growth and decay, like our breathing and the beating of our hearts, is a surge of life, and then a receding of life. Perhaps what we love about spring is that we can literally see and feel the surge of life. The earth is again coming back to life, and as a part of nature, we feel once again that bloom of youth which adds zest and vigor to our own lives. Spring is the season for those who love life. Thank God for making each of us a part of this beautiful cycle of life.

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die.

Make sure to get out and vote It is sometimes hard to believe that federal politics and decisions really are impacted by our vote here in Mission.

Yet we all know how federal decisions impact our lives whether through taxation, program funding or our ability to afford life’s luxuries.

So why don’t we vote? Why don’t we value the democratic right for which those in Egypt, Libya and an endless list of peoples Äght?

The 40 federal elections since confederation have seen a continuing decline of voter participation. In 2008, only 58.8 per cent of eligible Canadian voters believed it was important to take less time than a hockey intermission to cast their ballot.

Pundits suggest we have voter fatigue, distrust of politicians due to negative campaigns and best yet, “we can’t Änd what’s in it for me.”

With tax freedom day estimated to be June 21, unemployment stats for Abbotsford/Mission highest in Canada at 10.8 per cent, and inÅation threatening to increase mortgage rates, we all Änd something in it for us.

On April 14, the Mission Chamber of Commerce is hosting an all candidates meeting in the Mission Best Western’s Mountain Room. Candidates hoping to represent your voice in Ottawa will be answering questions brought forward by you.

Find out how each of them answer “what’s in it for you” and their plans for representing the Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission riding.

The chief beneÄt of living in a democracy is having a voice in how we are governed. Take some time to educate yourself and participate on May 2.

April is time to Änally get outdoors and explore all that Mission has to offer. The tourism committee of the Mission chamber encourages residents to visit local attractions.

Whether it is going back in time at the Power House at Stave Falls, or enjoying a boat ride up the Fraser, Mission offers a lot to do.

You’ll Änd friendly faces of neighbours looking forward to show you the fun side of Mission.

Looking to explore on your own? Mission offers many trails and walks with vistas and Åora seen nowhere else in the valley.

Visit Heritage Park’s new trail or ride up the challenging trails of Red Mountain. Don’t forget the weather here can change quickly with elevation so be prepared, and let others know if you plan to head into the back country.

UPCOMING Chamber Events THURSDAY, APRIL 14 Federal all candidates meeting TIME: 7-9 p.m.

LOCATION: Mountain Room, Mission Best Western

If arts and culture is more your interest, look for the Yellow Banner Tour being launched in May. It highlights many of the places and events along the cultural trail of Highway 7. The many events and festivals that happen in Mission can be found on the chamber website calendar (www.missionchamber.bc.ca ).

Stop by the chamber to pick up the 2011 Visitor Guide and begin your journey right in your own backyard.

The event grows each year with more attractions and thus the need for volunteers increases. This year, it is anticipated that over 60 volunteers will be required to help with areas such as pony rides, set up, greeters, stick-on tattoos, take down crew and more.

Mission’s Canada Day celebrations will be held at Fraser River Heritage

Park on Friday, July 1.

The event runs all day starting with a pancake breakfast and entertainment such as the Canadian Tire Kids Zone, Superdawg Show and wraps up with a fireworks display that lights up the night.

Volunteers receive a free lunch, T-shirt and other goodies for helping out. To sign up on the volunteer list please visit the Leisure Centre at 7650 Grand St. or call 604-8205350 ext. 0. Hope to see you there!

SPRING CLEANUP 20112011 SPRING CLEANUP Spring cleanup week is scheduled for May 2nd through May 6th on residents’ regular collection day.

Regular refuse, recycling and compost preparation procedures apply.

CURBSIDE COLLECTION OF ADDITIONAL MATERIALS In the curbside collection area, residents may place additional materials at the curb on their regular collection day, as follows: • Additional materials are limited to 2 cubic meters per household (1 cubic metre = 6 bags of refuse, or 1 stove or 1 armchair). This limit will be strictly enforced. Refuse above the limit will be left at the curbside to remain the resident’s responsibility.

• All additional materials must be manageable by two people.

• Prohibited materials for curbside collection are: o construction and demolition/renovation wastes, including gyproc, flooring materials, wood debris, fencing & roofing, bricks, rocks, toilets etc.; o electronics (free drop off at Mission Recycling Depot) o refrigerators, freezers and propane tanks (free drop off at Mission Landfill); o automotive parts including tires, batteries or other vehicle-related parts;* o hazardous materials, including toxic, flammable, corrosive and petroleum products, paint, pesticides and antifreeze;* o bio-hazardous materials, including needles and animal wastes.

Please help out collection crews and prevent litter by not placing loose materials that may blow away, and cleaning up incidental debris and “leftovers” promptly.

Mission Stave Lake Water Source Update The District of Mission Council wishes to release the following statement. Inaccurate information was released that the decision of Council on April 4, 2011, to not participate in a P3 grant application for the development of the Stave Lake Water source was going to be reconsidered at a closed meeting on April 11, 2011. This information was not factual. Council did not, nor did they intend to reconsider the decision to not submit a joint P3 grant application with Abbotsford.

Any decision of the District of Mission Council to reconsider a motion made in public would be made at a public meeting.

MISSION LANDFILL DROP-OFF (YEAR ROUND, SOME ITEMS FREE) • Please note that due to increased environmental costs at the Mission landfill (Minnie’s Pit), there will be no more free dumping of household waste during spring cleanup week, and the landfill will be open during regular hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.).

• Recyclable materials, such as blue-bag recyclables, scrap metal, appliances, electronics, yard waste, clean lumber, batteries, paint, gypsum board, used oil and filters, are now banned from disposal, but can be dropped off at designated facilities for recycling. For a complete list of banned materials and facilities, please consult your curbside collection calendar, phone 604-820-3736 or visit www.mission.ca. Please sort your loads to avoid surcharges.

• Appliances, including fridges and freezers, and scrap metal, car batteries and propane tanks are accepted free of charge year round.

• To prevent litter, loads must be secured. A $10 surcharge now applies to unsecured loads.

MISSION RECYCLING DEPOT FREE DROP-OFF (YEAR ROUND, ALL FREE) The Mission Recycling Depot, located at 7229 Mershon Street, is open seven days a week from 8:30 to 4:30 and will accept the following materials at no charge year round: • Electronics, limited to: o desktop and laptop computers o desktop printers and fax machines o monitors o mice, keyboards & cables o televisions • Leftover paint, spray paint and empty paint cans; • Specific household hazardous products (check www.productcare.org or phone 604-850-3551 for details) • Car batteries and household batteries • Scrap metal, including empty propane tanks, barbeques, metal fencing, metal siding etc.

• Most metal appliances (NO fridges or freezers here, please, due to the need for freon removal. Take these to the landfill for recycling); • Any recyclables accepted in the blue-bag program. *For additional recycling options, including details on this year’s HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE DAY (Saturday, May 7th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.) at the Mission Recycling Depot, please consult your curbside collection calendar, visit www.mission.ca or call the Engineering Department at 604-820-3736.

Mission and Abbotsford have always shared a positive working relationship both at the Council and staff level. District of Mission Council has directed staff to build on our working relationship working through the Abbotsford Mission Water Sewer Commission to look for options to develop the Stave Lake water source.

District of Mission Council is committed to meeting the future water supply needs of the community and will work diligently to identify options for moving forward. Council is also committed to keeping the public informed on the progress of our future water supply options and will provide updates through public Council meetings, the media and Mission’s website.

RYAN ROSS ALEXANDER ALLAN October 3, 1985 - April 15, 2008 Dear Ross: Another year has passed and it is still so unreal to us that you are gone. We often look at photos of you growing up and touch the things that meant so much to you. These past 3 years have changed us forever and our priorities are different.

The College of Physicians and Surgeons have now addressed the coroner’s inquest recommendations. Their College Quarterly December newsletter, mandatory reading by all BC doctors, had a lengthy article on your illness, death and the inquest findings. In this article, all doctors have been reminded to become more familiar with the Mental Health Act, be more open to including family members in treatment for those with a mental illness and to provide timely help for those who suffer as you did. It is a huge step in the right direction and many are so thankful for the good it will do for them and others. Stigma will be reduced, even if it is one step at a time. How we wish we were not writing this and that you had never become ill. You have made such a huge impact on those that knew you as well as many that did not. Your kind, respectful, intelligent and caring manner are so keenly missed.

Our hearts ache so much but we know there were many good times during your stay here on earth and we hold dear those memories. The snow on the mountains was awesome this year; we will love and remember you always and wish that you keep skiing and snow-boarding the universe. Love, Mom, Dad, Erin, Perry and Jacob.

A huge thank-you for the incredible care and compassion to Dr. Brown and nursing staff at Cheam 2, Terciary Palliative Care Unit in the Abbotsford Hospital.

by Dr. Potter, you all helped us through a very difficult period of time and we will forever be grateful. As well as a huge thank you to the Mission Fire/Rescue and their families for their support and many acts of kindness throughout the duration of Frank’s illness.
