Wren Street proposal goes to public hearing on Monday evening Development would bring about 1,030 new jobs to Mission

BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

A mixed commercial and residential development that has waited nearly three years for environmental approval is coming to public hearing April 16.

The Wren Street and Lougheed Highway site is across from the Mission Springs Pub and the new Smart Centre.

The commercial component proposed is roughly 9.3 ha (23 acres) and may accommodate, at a minimum, 310,000 square feet of commercial space, while the residential portion will be up to 150 units. This would result in $422,250 in fees from the Community Amenity Contribution.

Development cost charges (DCCs) are expected to generate $1.33 mil-

lion for the commercial component and $125,000 for the residential.

The developers, Carhoun and Sons Enterprises Ltd., are submitting the application under the comprehensive development zone to allow for a broad range of businesses and services, which includes a maximum of two drive-thru restaurants.

Although new drive-thrus are not technically permitted under the district’s own bylaws, a previous application for a commercial development at Cedar Street and Lougheed Highway was approved in November under the comprehensive development zone to include two drive-thrus.

Two previous petitions have been forwarded to council in the past opposing drive-thru restaurants, including a 794-signature petition last May. Carhoun’s application, which was held up for several years while undergoing environmental approval, has offered several mitigation measures See DEVELOPMENT Page 3

$1M for parks and trails along Fraser River More money pumped into ETF project

BY PHIL MELNYCHUK Black Press

A small memorial was erected near where a 51-year-old Mission resident was killed Saturday night while walking on Highway 11.

Mission man struck, killed

BY VIKKI HOPES Black Press

A touching message from a sibling marks the site where a 51-year-old Mission man was struck and killed by a vehicle Saturday night while he was walking along Highway 11.

“R.I.P. my brother. I love you and will miss you so much,” states the note taped to a flower-filled plastic container.

The small memorial is located on a highway median just south of Harris Road. Const. Ian MacDonald said Abbotsford Police began receiving reports at about 8:40 p.m. that a man was hitchhiking or walking dangerously close to traffic in the northbound lanes of Highway 11 (the Abbotsford-Mission Highway).

Moments later, callers advised the man had been hit by a vehicle.

Officers found the man dead at the scene, and two drivers indicated they had struck him.

The first was a Hyundai and the second was a Saturn. The motorists co-operated with police but were shaken from the incident.

The deceased man’s name has not yet been released. MacDonald said police are still trying to piece together the man’s actions before the collision and whether impairment might have played a role.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Abbotsford Police at 604-859-5225. This is Abbotsford’s second pedestrian fatality this year. Amarjit Singh Sidhu, 74, was struck and killed by a van on March 27 while walking along Blueridge Drive.

Another million dollars has been sunk into the Experience the Fraser project, but it doesn’t look like any of it will be spent in the district where the funding was announced Monday.

Greg Moore, chair of Metro Vancouver, and Sharon Gaetz, chair of Fraser Valley Regional District, were both at the Easter Monday announcement delivered by Liberal MLAs Randy Hawes and Marc Dalton in Kanaka Creek Regional Park in Maple Ridge.

Gayle Martin, a Langley city councillor on Metro Vancouver’s board, said while no decisions have been made, the steering committee could allocate the money somewhere in the Fraser Valley Regional District, possibly the Abbotsford area. One million doesn’t go far, added Martin.

Experience the Fraser, a plan to build biking and hiking trails along both sides of the Fraser River from Vancouver to Hope, got $2.5 million in seed money three years ago to develop a concept plan, plus more money last year for a trail from Fort Langley to the Golden Ears Bridge.

First nations, cities, the province, community groups, Metro Vancouver are all involved.

The project would also use trails that already exist, such as those in Pitt Meadows, where paths run from Golden Ears Bridge along the Fraser River and across to Port Coquitlam using the Pitt River Bridge. Existing trails would make up 43 per cent of the project.

Hawes said Martin started pushing the idea 20 years ago.

With the Lower Mainland’s population continuing to grow, it’s important to keep at the project or the opportunity will be lost.

“Fundamentally, this is a legacy that we need to put together for our children,” said Hawes, adding that people have to keep pushing the provincial government to support it.

“This project cannot be allowed to

fall away.”

Hawes suggested a small charge of a few dollars be added on to municipal property taxes as a “park fee” that would be allocated exclusively to Experience the Fraser.

People accept such taxes more easily if they know the monies raised go only for parks, he said.

“The Fraser River is a constant reminder that B.C. is great place to live and work,” added Maple RidgeMission MLA Marc Dalton.

“Trails connect us as a community so it’s been amazing to see Experience the Fraser come alive over the past three years,” he added in a news release, saying it’s a legacy project that will benefit residents and visitors for “years to come.”

He presented a memorandum of understanding between Premier Christy Clark and both regional districts supporting the project.

Gaetz, mayor of Chilliwack, credited former premier Gordon Campbell for ensuring Experience the Fraser was a priority, while Hawes got it started at the local level.

“It was hard work, I tell you, building those relationships, making sure everyone was aware … that this was long term … that would span a generation at least,” Gaetz said.

The million-dollar announcement was made on the third anniversary of the project.

Experience the Fraser • In 2009, the province provided $2.5 million to develop the Experience the Fraser Concept Plan and build two demonstration projects.

• The demonstration project at Derby Reach Regional Park provided a key segment of trail linking historic Fort Langley and the Golden Ears Bridge. The Mission waterfront demonstration project created a new riverfront park.

• At a November 2011 workshop, representatives from over 50 organizations expressed overwhelming support for Experience the Fraser, as well as tourism and recreation benefits.

which have been acknowledged by government agencies, including the purchase of the nearby Sun Valley Trout Park, which will be converted into a fish habitat preserve.

The park may also be gifted to the district for use in the Parks, Trails and Bicycle Master Plan and is part of the development cost charges program for acquisition by the Silver Creek Parkway program.

As of now, roughly two acres of floodplain in the western

portion of the property adjacent to the 112-acre Silverdale wetlands will likely remain untouched, as the district has requested developers not put a storm detention pond there as planned.

The development first went before a public input session

on Aug. 24, 2009, where it was determined approval would be required from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

According to a report published by the district’s economic development officer, Stacey Crawford, the development is

anticipated to generate 1,030 new jobs, reducing Mission’s commuter workforce and increasing the local labour force by 11.3 per cent.

The report also says that based on the commercial square footage estimates, the development could provide $386,100

per year in new property taxes, and a combined potential tax revenue of $1.38 million, or 3.9 per cent of the total tax revenue collected by the district in 2011.

The public hearing will take place in council chambers at municipal hall at 6:30 p.m.

Bellevue Hotel sold by Fletcher Business has been with family for 80 years

BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

Mission’s iconic landmark, the Bellevue Hotel, has been confirmed sold by owner Brad Fletcher, meaning it will change hands from a Fletcher to somebody outside the family for the first time in nearly 80 years.

The hotel has been in the clan since 1935 when Brad’s grandparents, George and Mildred Fletcher, operated the Bellevue Lodge, consisting of 16 rooms and a cafe.

Then in 1948-49 the hotel was completely rebuilt and the structure as it currently looks opened on July 27, 1949.

Brad says he didn’t go looking for a buyer or decide to put the landmark up for sale himself.

He was approached by a realtor who had clients interested in purchasing the hotel, though he would not yet reveal their names.

“There was a large

number of reasons that, when combined, persuaded me to sell the business. Among the more prominent factors were, the building is 63 years old and a challenge to maintain; the bar business has been in decline for a number of years and I believe that trend will continue; I did not think it was a good career for my daughter to become involved in,” he said.

Brad will continue to operate the Bellevue until June 1 and the new owners will take over operations on June 2. He said they will continue to operate the business as is for the time being, though they will be relocating the liquor store to a new location in the future.

When asked about the legacy his family leaves behind by changing hands, Brad was modest.

“I’m not sure if it’s a legacy, but the fact is for the past 75 years any-

one who stopped into the hotel could probably find a member of my family. All three generations were “hands on” operators; my grandparents lived in the building, as did my father (Bob) for a number of years.”

Although Brad doesn’t live at the hotel, he spends a lot of days and evenings there and said loyal patrons have already told him that it will be strange to visit the hotel without coming into contact with a Fletcher.

Brad doesn’t have any immediate plans once the hotel changes hands, but will spend his winters in Arizona where he has a second home, and his summers in Mission.

He plans to have a “Nostalgia Day” celebration on Saturday, May 26 when people can come and share in the memories of the Fletcher family’s business and old photographs will be put on display.

Brad Fletcher is the third generation owner of the Bellevue Hotel, which he has now sold. It will change hands June 2.

Bjorgaard new CAO Mission’s finance director has been named the new chief administrative officer to replace the longserving CAO Glen Robertson, who will retire in June.

Ken Bjorgaard is a certified general accountant with 20 years of public and private sector experience, including 11 in the district, as well as previous local government experience with the City of Prince George, and the Districts of Powell River and Kitimat.

Robertson had served in the top job for Mission for the past 21 years. He earned $185,496 in salary and benefits in 2010, according to financial statements.

Bjorgaard will start the new position June 4.

Long gun registry erased

by Conservative bill C-19 record of one.

Operationally, Konarski said the defeat of this legislation has not changed how RCMP members approach certain calls.

Gun licences will still be required to purchase, possess and use a long gun, and the registry for restricted and prohibited firearms will stay in place. Purchasing ammunition also requires a Possession and Acquisition Licence.

BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

Firearms enthusiasts across the nation cheered last Thursday when the contentious long gun registry was officially scrapped via Conservative government bill C-19.

The news was welcomed by local gun owners, who have long complained that the registry’s intended goal, to increase public safety, was never reached, and that criminals wouldn’t register their firearms which makes the listing ineffective in tracing weapons involved in crimes.

“None of our members were in favour of the registry,” said Mission Rod and Gun Club’s Ron Tarnawski. “They didn’t like the rationale and the reasoning. The money could have been better spent in other areas.”

The local club currently has about 2,200 members, and there has been a surge in membership in recent years. Tarnawski said it’s assumed by many members of the public that the club is filled only with hunters; that isn’t the case.

There are hundreds of members who simply enjoy target shooting, and a segment are involved in more specialty sports such as cowboy

Firearms classes There are three classes of firearms: non-restricted, restricted and prohibited.

Non-restricted firearms are ordinary rifles and shotguns, other than those referred to below.

Restricted firearms include: • handguns that are not prohibited; • semi-automatic, centre-fire rifles and shotguns with a barrel shorter than 470 mm; • rifles and shotguns that can be fired when their overall length has been reduced by folding, telescoping or other means to less than 660 mm; and • firearms restricted by Criminal Code Regulations.

OPINION

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

Spend money wisely The Conservative government’s reputation for sound economic management is taking a big hit with revelations from the auditor-general about the process used to obtain F-35 fighter jets.

The new jets were known to cost about $25 billion, even before the last election. Yet the government and Conservative candidates consistently said the cost would be $14.7 billion.

This was based on figures from the defence department, which was given far too much sway in selecting the new jets. It is obvious that they were the department’s preference, and everything it did was designed to get the government to go along.

That’s where the Conservatives fell down. Not enough tough questions were asked. Costs kept rising, and it is quite likely that the Conservative caucus had no knowledge of how quickly costs were jumping.

It appears from Auditor-General Michael Ferguson’s report that at least some members of cabinet did know, and they should have blown the whistle when it became clear that costs were going up astronomically.

To the government’s credit, it has now frozen spending on the fighter jet replacement program and has promised to be more accountable about decisions on the jets. It has also said it will be more diligent when making future decisions.

Members of cabinet who make decisions about government spending need to treat every decision as if it was their own money.

Just because government is big is no reason it can’t spend wisely.

Political spotlight falls on Cummins

T

he information age might have sped up B.C. voters’ mood swings, but the basic dynamic hasn’t changed since the days of Social Credit.

When familiarity breeds contempt, people vote to reject the familiar and see what happens.

It’s been more than 21 years since Gordon Wilson reshaped B.C. politics and launched the modern-day B.C. Liberal Party with a single quip in a leaders’ debate between a bickering Rita Johnston and Mike Harcourt.

Cummins has about a year to show he’s earned his rising poll numbers, and to refute the conventional wisdom that he’s the best friend the NDP has had since Wilson put them in power and later joined them.

So let’s get to know Cummins a bit better. He’s 70, and has an 18-year record as a Reform-Alliance-Conservative MP. His Ottawa days are mainly remembered for battling treaties and aboriginal-only fisheries, and for being the first Reform MP to reverse himself and take the MP pension. That pension

pays him about $100,000 a year as he tries to build a second political career in B.C. Another legacy of Cummins’ federal record is his support for the harmonized sales tax. As he hastens to clarify, he supported Conservative legislation to enter into HST deals with any province, which Ontario and B.C. subsequently did.

Cummins said B.C. could have brought in the HST at a lower rate to reflect its broader reach, as Atlantic provinces did. But they tried to make it a “tax grab” and now they’ve “poiTo soned the well” for many years.

“We’re going to have to pay the price I guess, in the sense that where it has been introduced, it has been shown to have grown business,” Cummins said. “Think tanks on both the left and the right have come to that conclusion.”

To me this beats the NDP’s crude coffee-shop populism

that simply ignores HST benefits for small business and the poor.

Speaking of crude, Cummins further distinguishes himself from the B.C. Liberals by endorsing the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline to Kitimat. He applauds the federal government for moving to place limits on submissions to federal environment hearings, citing the thousands of Internet sign-ups that have clogged the Northern Gateway hearings.

His record on aboriginal issues suggests he has little sympathy for term ritorial objections from First Nations, those with treaties or those without.

The April 19 byelections in Port Moody-Coquitlam and Chilliwack-Hope offer a chance for the B.C. Conservatives to present policy alternatives. So far they’re against gas taxes, especially the carbon tax, against a second Metro Vancouver garbage incinerator, and in fa-

B.C. Views

Fletcher

vour of fixing the “catch and release” justice system. These are the slogans that stand in for actual policies needed to govern.

Cummins will be going door to door in the byelections, especially in Chilliwack-Hope, where he believes his upstart party has a real shot at winning.

He offers a telling anecdote about the last time he was door-knocking in Port Moody, the premier’s former hometown. The B.C. Liberals have suggested the B.C. Conservatives chose Christine Clarke as their candidate to capitalize on the premier’s name recognition.

That wasn’t what Cummins and his previously unknown candidate found when they first started campaigning.

“She’d say hi, my name is Christine Clarke, and the doors would close rather quickly,” Cummins said. Now she identifies herself as the B.C. Conservative candidate, then gives her name.

YOUR VIEWS Raise your voice against MPs pensions Editor, The Record: For the past few weeks I have been researching the pension plan offered to Members of Parliament and have found it to be a lavish expenditure of taxpayers’ money — an expenditure that we Canadians cannot afford.

Canada is currently in debt over $580 billion with the debt increasing every day. MPs receive between $157,000 and $314,000 per year — the average Canadian earns $45,000 per year.

After six years of ser-

vice, MPs are entitled to a pension when they reach 55 years old – the government is discussing raising the age of a Canadian pension to 67.

The average MP pension is $78,000 per year.

Most Canadians do not have a work-related pension. Their retirement income is based on what they are able to save with a small supplement in the form of government pensions.

MPs pensions are not invested and subject to fluctuations. An MPs

pension is banked and the Canadian taxpayer ensures that the fund grows at a rate of 10.4 per cent per year. Most Canadians relying on investment income have seen their income decline due to record low interest rates.

Tony Clement, a longtime Conservative and future recipient of the MP pension plan, has been entrusted to review the plan. Is this not a conflict of interest?

Whenever I speak with anyone (MPs excluded)

they tell me that they know that the MP’s pension plans are unfair and unaffordable. They then shrug and say something to the effect of “What can you do?” The truth is that individuals can do little, but as a group, can do a lot. If everyone who felt as I do called or e-mailed their MP and expressed their concerns, the government would need to listen. If everyone concerned about this huge expense printed out a petition from the government website, filled it out

urging an independent, apolitical review of MPs pension plans and got at least 25 people to sign it, their local MP would be required to present it in Parliament.

Silence implies consent. As long as we say nothing, Members of Parliament are free to assume the taxpayers see nothing wrong with their level of remuneration.

We are only powerless to affect change if we believe ourselves to be so.

Great work, Mission

ALC has already said no

Editor, The Record: I’ve read recently about how Mission Secondary School’s teams had won varsity titles in football and boys basketball in the same school year.

The article mentioned that the basketball title was last won by Mission Senior Secondary in 1954!

On behalf of the class of 1964, I would like to extend to all of you our most heartfelt congratulations!

Special accolades must also go out to the coaches who recognized that continuing in their volunteer role in spite of the labour dispute between BCTF and the government ensured the teams had the opportunity to play to their capacity.

Way to go, everyone!

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING NOTICE Wednesday, April 25, 2012 - 7:00pm Hatzic Prairie Community Hall 10814 Farms Road, Hatzic Prairie • Must attend AGM to vote. Check-in with ID. • At check-in: Agenda, 2012 Budget, 2011 Financial Statements, Ministry’s voter eligibility directive, voting slips.

• Due to term expiry 3 Trustee positions up for election this year: Lake(1); Dewdney (1) and Hatzic Prairie (1) The board of Trustees is pleased to advise Dewdney Area Improvement District (DAID) Rate-payers that the Federal and Provincial Governments have agreed, subject to required regulatory approvals, to provide 66% of the funding required to construct a new pump station and construct various other works that are expected to improve drainage in Hatzic Prairie, improve Äsh access and improve recreational usage of Hatzic Lake. Construction of the proposed pump station and related works is scheduled to be completed during 2013 and the total estimated costs are $4,519,500. The Improvement District has approximately 50% of the funds required to meet DAID’s portion of planned expenditures. To fully Änance the proposed capital works the Board of Trustees have approved a Bylaw authorizing the Improvement District to borrow up to $750,000 which combined with available funds will meet DAID’s portion of the costs of the planned new pump station and costs of various other works.

The Board of Trustees have estimated that annual repayment costs of the proposed loan (estimated at $50,000 per annum based on a 20 year amortization) will be offset by the fact that the annual budget will no longer include an allocation of approximately $50,000 for engineering studies and that as a result Trustees do not anticipate a requirement to increase dyking taxes at this time. A Resolution which will be put forward at the AGM is as follows: “The ratepayers of Dewdney Area Improvement District hereby approve for borrowing $750,000 to assist in Änancing the new pump station and to construct other various other works that will improve drainage in Hatzic Prairie and improve recreational usage of Hatzic Lake.” www.daid.ca

Dam work starts soon Work to bring the Ruskin Dam and Powerhouse back to the future is about to begin, now that the B.C. Utilities Commission has approved the project.

The 82-year-old dam on Hayward Lake, sitting on Wilson Street on the Mission-Maple Ridge border, will get a new, wider, two-lane road (leading to Hayward Street) over its top, along with a sidewalk, new turbines to pump out more power, and seismic strengthening of its powerhouse.

As well, the concrete piers on the spillway will be replaced, the intake tunnels and penstocks will be upgraded and the right abutment will be improved.

Construction starts in weeks, creating 175 jobs over the six years of the project.

The utilities commission approved the project because it thought the $718-million project would be worth the greater power that would result, according to BC Hydro.

A major part of the

Construction on Ruskin Dam has been given the green light by the B.C. Utilities Commission.

RECORD FILE PHOTO

project is replacing the three aging turbines, one of which was installed in 1930, while the second and third were added in 1938 and 1950.

The new turbine-generators will largely come from Brazil, for about $80 million.

While they’ll be new, they won’t be that much more efficient than their predecessors. The new turbine-generators will be pump out only about eight-per-cent more power.

“This technology was invented 100 years ago and it’s pretty good technology,” Hydro VP of generation Chris O’Riley

said.

“Hydro generation is really a simple process and the technology those days was pretty well refined.”

After the abutment is strengthened, crews will start on rebuilding the upper portion of dam and the spillway piers.

The lower part of the dam, built in 1930, is almost as good as new and doesn’t need any work.

Once renovated, the dam’s three 38-megawatt generators will produce 379 gigawatt hours of energy yearly, enough to light up 33,000 homes for a year.

While Ruskin produces

less than one per cent of the BC Hydro’s power generation, it’s important because it’s located in the Lower Mainland, O’Riley added.

The seismic upgrades are supposed to have the dam survive a onein-10,000 year earthquake.

The BCUC noted in its approval last week that “the age and condition of the existing [generating] units at the Ruskin facility represent a significant risk to reliability.”

Geoff Clayton, with the Alouette River Management Society, maintains that BC Hydro should include the construction of a $3 million fishway around the Alouette Lake dam as compensation for damming Stave Lake, north of Hayward Lake.

Hydro has rejected the fishway.

Alouette reservoir feeds water into Stave Lake from the Alouette generating station, which also used to produce power but has sat idle for the past 18 months. That used to put out enough power to light up 7,000 to 8,000 homes, Clayton added.

Cedar Valley Manor is selling quickly and it is easy to see why.

The Mission Association for Seniors Housing (MASH) has a new project on the go. After successfully developing and operating The Cedars, MASH is now developing Cedar Valley Manor, a life lease for independent seniors.

Cedar Valley Manor has been purposely designed for seniors in Mission who want to downsize but who are also looking for a warm and supportive community where life is simple.

As Judith Ray, the President of MASH says: “Residents can live maintenance free at Cedar Valley Manor. Here they will be able to carry on living in the community they love without having to worry about the yard, snow removal, and the upkeep of their house. And as a Life Lease,” she continues “Mission seniors will have their financial interests secured and looked after as well.”

Many people have been wondering about the “Life Lease” model used at Cedar Valley Manor, and as explained by Kate Mancer, Director of Cedar Valley Manor: “Life Lease is a form of tenure perfectly suited to seniors. It allows them

to securely use the equity built up after years of home ownership and provides a wonderful sense of community.”

In a Life Lease the resident pays an upfront cost, or “entrance fee,” which is used to pay for the construction of the building, plus a monthly fee which includes general building upkeep and replacement reserves. Taxes are extra but life lease residents qualify for the Homeowner Grant. When people move out, they get 95% of their money back— with no worries about the real estate market and estate planning is so simple.

Life lease residents don’t have to worry about management concerns, or being part of a strata council—all of that is looked after by a trusted community-based non-profit organization. Residents know their interests are being looked after by a group whose sole purpose is to provide good quality affordable housing for the seniors of Mission. The MASH mission statement sums it all up perfectly: “Caring for Those Who Cared for Us.”

Cities protest surprise RCMP pay hikes

BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Ronald Hansen was last seen March 30.

RCMP PHOTO

Mission man still missing Mission RCMP are still looking for a missing 60-year-old male.

Ronald Hansen was last seen March 30 at 3:30 p.m. getting off a bus near the Shoppers Drug Mart on Lougheed Hwy. in Mission. Hansen resides on Parr Avenue and when he left his home, he said he was going out for coffee.

Hansen is described as thin, six feet tall, 147 lb with light brown hair. He wears size 13 shoes and is known to chain smoke.

He was last seen wearing dark green-grey cargostyle pants without pockets, white running shoes, a navy blue sweater and a blue-padded jacked.

Foul play is not suspected, but police are concerned as Hansen suffers from mental illness. If you have information, please call 604-826-7161.

No injuries after suspicious fire Mission RCMP are investigating a suspicious fire that occurred Saturday night on Old Silverdale Road.

Mission Fire/Rescue Service and BC Ambulance paramedics were called to a trailer park on that roadway for a fifth wheel that had caught fire.

The occupant wasn’t home, said Mission RCMP Sgt. Miriam Dickson, and no one was injured.

If you have any information, call 604-8267161.

B.C. cities say they’ve been blindsided by surprise RCMP pay raises that the federal government enabled just as it was signing a new policing contract that was supposed to usher in a new era of trust and cost control.

Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender sent a letter on behalf of the Union of B.C. Municipalities to Public Safety Minister Vic Toews Friday — a day after the pay hikes were revealed — expressing “our complete shock and surprise” and warning the incident will create “significant backlash” from councils and taxpayers.

Fassbender, the UBCM rep in the recent contract talks, said cities don’t yet know how much more money — if any

B.C. Justice Minister Shirley Bond and federal Public Safety Minister Vic Toews signed a new 20-year RCMP contract at a ceremony in Surrey on March 21.

— they will have to carve out of their budgets to fund the higher RCMP payroll.

Justice Minister Shirley

Bond said she has been assured by Ottawa administrative savings totaling $195 million will partly flow to cities

and could entirely offset the pay raises, and possibly even lower their costs.

But Bond is seeking more details.

“I am deeply concerned about any potential impacts on our municipalities and that this information came as a surprise,” she said.

Toews has said cities were advised months ago that raises on the order of 1.5 per cent were possible this year but the province and cities only learned of the pay package via the RCMP rather than being formally notified by Ottawa, with details.

Fassbender said even if the pay hikes end up cost-neutral or better for cities, the lack of communication and consultation is deeply troubling, as is the timing.

“You just can’t plan this

way,” he said.

The province signed a new 20-year RCMP contract on March 21 — ending its threat to terminate the Mounties and form a new provincial police force — after securing extensive promises of more say for cities on spending decisions.

Several cities have already ratified the new contract, including Surrey, Kelowna and the Township of Langley.

Mayors from RCMP-policed Lower Mainland cities will meet in Surrey April 20 to discuss the contract and pay raises.

Fassbender said cities that don’t sign by the deadline effectively give two years notice of withdrawal from the RCMP and commit to forming their own police forces or partnering with existing municipal forces.

Annual Celebrate Mission event cancelled Celebrate Mission has been cancelled.

The planning committee for the event, formerly known as the Celebration of Community until two years ago, announced it will discontinue the gathering and focus on creating a new one when there are more volunteers.

According to a report submitted to council

by Kirsten Hargreaves, manager of social development, the planning committee met in the fall of 2011 to discuss concerns of sustainability due to a lack of staff time.

As the only paid staff member, site coordinator John Taves was responsible for an immense amount of work, including booking events, setup and takedown, and collecting donations.

Taves has since resigned and moved away from Mission.

Celebrate Mission has taken place on the third Saturday of September for the past 12 years at Heritage Park, averaging 700 attendees, although many of these are volunteers themselves.

It had been decided that without achieving an increase in foot traffic to the event, a limited budget, few donations, and a lack of staff, it wouldn’t make sense to continue.

“With all the other events that are taking place in Mission, we sort of see that Celebrate Mission can evolve into something even better to prepare for the 2014 Winter Games and to try and bring in more of the community,” said committee member Pam Alexis, adding the group sees this as a transitional stage into a new event.

Robert Keys, executive director for the Mission Association for Community Living, will present a delegation to council April 16 to request funds for the Illuminaria evening event Sept. 15.

Newsletter now out

BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

A new digital publication trumpeting Mission’s business-friendly environs has hit the fibre optic highway.

BizE Newsletter will be sent out digitally every two months, and will feature articles about business successes, and some of the development activity taking place in the district.

The District of Mission’s economic development committee was the driving force behind the newsletter, and according to chair Rex Blane, it has been talked about since last year.

“We felt the District of Mission

needed more outreach to the development community,” he said.

The old adage of being “open to business and it will come is passé,” he added. “We need to draw people into our community.”

A request for proposals was issued last November and after three weeks, the lone bid submitter, ClickMediaWorks, was chosen. They have been allotted $1,500 an issue.

“I think it’s quite good pricing,” said Blane. “I’m excited about [the newsletter] myself. It will show that this is what’s going on in Mission. The stories are about what’s happening today.”

Seniors should cut back on amount of alcohol consumed M ost people know that alcohol can be bad for young people because their brains are not fully developed. But what about people who have been around for a while? How does alcohol affect the fully developed, well-seasoned minds and bodies of seniors, 75 per cent of whom say they sometimes enjoy a drink or two when socializing, relaxing or celebrating?

ety, diabetes, digestive problems, loss of appetite, osteoporosis and strokes.

Drinking alcohol also distorts vision and hearing and reduces psychomotor skills. It affects alertness, judgment, memory and reaction times. And it interferes with coordination, mobility and balance, which may result in an unexpected fall and serious injury.

Almost half of all the prescription drugs taken by older people interact with alcohol. Drinking

even small amounts of alcohol can either reduce or intensify the effect of many over-thecounter drugs or prescribed medications.

Does this mean seniors really shouldn’t drink alcohol? Not at all. Seniors can continue to enjoy alcohol but need to be aware of how it affects them and monitor their use carefully.

The new Canadian Low-Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines recommend that women drink no more than 10 drinks a week and men

no more than 15, spread out over a span of days.

Men should avoid having more than four drinks on any single occasion, and women no more than three.

The Centre for Addictions Research of BC at the University of Victoria recommends that seniors cut back a little further on the national guidelines and

check with a doctor or a pharmacist before using alcohol when taking medication. See www. carbc.ca/HelpingCommunities/ToolsResources/LowRiskAlcoholDrinkingGuidelines. aspx for more details.

The rap video My Name is FAME begins with a brightly lit neon ferris wheel seemingly spinning in time to a mellow drum beat, before the viewer gets a glance of the young rapperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face. He then begins rapping in front of a montage of Mission landmarks like the post office, Clarke Theatre, and museum.

The video sounds like something straight from the golden age of hip hop, producing a sound youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect from Souls of Mischief or Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal was to bring back that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s type rap that people say they miss and wish it would come back,â&#x20AC;? says rapper Immortal Fame, whose name is inspired from New York rapper Immortal Technique.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all the more remarkable about Fame, is that his real name is Kayden MacDonald, a Heritage Park secondary student who turned 17 in December.

Most of his music is composed of barely remembered old school riffs from the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s put to his own lyrics and style of delivery, making for a distinct vibe that, perhaps strangely, is reminiscent of the music being produced by the rappers of the day when Fame was born.

When Fame first got into rap, he felt what would set his music apart was that retro sound that has become a nostalgia for rap music lovers who bemoan the pop R&B hip hop that floods the airwaves today.

Fame has been rap-

ping since Grade 8 and recording music and videos since Grade 10, though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loved the music ever since he can remember. Today, he gets a mixed reaction from classmates of love and hate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind when people say they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m like, whatever, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it. But then some people like to go to the extreme with it and kind of make fun of you about it.â&#x20AC;?

But he said the support he gets from most people is encouraging. He finds the most support from his manager/director/photographer Rhys Griffiths, an 18-year-old friend from Wales. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been there since day one. He did the first video and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helped me all through it.â&#x20AC;?

But it was Fameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea to do a video with Mission landmarks in it and post it on YouTube, adding heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proud of his home even though he knows it might not be able to take him everywhere he wants to go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But as a musician you gotta represent your town so I said to Rhys, I want to do something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to represent Mission, to put it on the map.â&#x20AC;?

Although his dreams might be larger than Mission can hold, Fame says his ambitions are modest, and would be happy to be known as an underground rap artist across the country.

Especially amongst his rapping peers.

He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to become a professional rapper, however, hoping to go on to be an audio engineer when he graduates from high school.

Another big supporter

of his music comes from his mother, who recently watched him do his first live performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I did my first show, I went up on stage and I could see her face. She looked so happy. And when I got off stage she looked at me and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wow, this is really what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re meant to do.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Fame wants to be like rapper Mos Def, writing stories that have meaning and purpose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything that I write about is actually something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happened to me. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where I get my inspirations, from what I see day-to-day.â&#x20AC;?

He got to go backstage when Bone Thugs-n-Harmony visited Mission in January, an experience that was inspiring.

His first gig on stage was opening for L.A. rappers Hopsin and SwizZz in February at the Big B Saloon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was funny because when I got called up on stage I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize how many people in Mission knew who I was,â&#x20AC;? he said laughing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was so nervewracking. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so scared to go up on stage because your heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just beating a million miles an hour. But then you go up, the beat starts, you get your first couple of full words out and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good.â&#x20AC;?

Fame will be a part of the upcoming 604 showcase at the Clarke Theatre with The Trilogy, RebelYell, 2nd-tonone and Kris Monico on Sept. 22.

You can watch his video by searching for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Immortal Fame My Nameâ&#x20AC;? on YouTube.

Plenty of opportunities for outdoor tourism in Mission From geocaching to bird watching, outdoor enthusiasts will find a myriad of activities

W

ith more than 30,000 visitors to the back country every year, it is inevitable that Mission has been known for the wild west areas around Stave Lake. Soon to change with the implementation of Stave Lake Interpretive Forest, Mission is poised to generate significant sustainable economic benefit from the surrounding natural beauty.

With one out of every six dollars generated by tourism in Mission, it is important to understand the many layers of the local economy it impacts. While obvious tourism sites like the Mission Raceway and the Powerhouse at Stave Falls show a direct link; less recognized are the effects of festivals such as Rockin River, Mission Folk Fest, the Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival, the Envision Twilight Concert Series and Old Car Sunday. Each of these and many more bring visitors to the area that buy gas, eat at restaurants, and buy groceries. Junction merchants can attest to the spill over effect of Rockin River each year. During last year’s Folk Festival, more than 150 visitors came into the Visitor Centre to ask directions to services, restaurants, and shopping.

Recognizing that these are single annual events mostly in the high

season; what does sustainable yearround tourism look like in Mission? It is outdoors: geocaching, four-wheel driving, hiking, fishing and bird watching.

Harder to recognize as an economic benefit it is the mainstay of tourism in our community.

Geocaching According to www.bcgeocaching. com, there are over 27,000 geocaches in B.C., and over 1,500 are located in the Mission area. There are more than five million geocachers worldwide; many have taken up the sport as adventure day trips outside of the city. Given the natural terrain, accessible trails and variety of landscape, it is easy to understand why Mission would be a playground for this type of outdoor treasure hunt. The advent of smart phones and cell phones with GPS have increased interest in this activity,

Prescription Sunglasses

and in the Visitor Centre, geocachers have visited from as far away as Germany. Many of these are often families. These daytrippers ask about local restaurants, other places of interest and, of course, who has the best price for gas.

Off-roading In the last year, the Four Wheel Drive Association of BC (4WDABC) surveyed its members and member associations on the economics around their hobby. As an umbrella organization of those who access trails and back country, they are advocates for a segment that uses Mission to camp, fish, hike, mountain climb, trail ride and enjoy nature.

Established in 1977, the 4WDABC promotes “tread lightly,” giving back, and off road education. They organize an annual clean-up on Burma Road (future area of the

Stave Lake Interpretive Forest) and work with the Ministry of Forests to upgrade and build facilities at recreation sites such as Hale Creek.

Each year the clean up on the west side of Stave Lake hauls out 30-60 tonnes of garbage including cars, fridges, grow-op and construction waste and bags and bags of shotgun shells.

In their survey, the 4WDABC found most of their members were located in the Lower Mainland and day trips extended mostly to the Fraser Valley and Hope. Spending anywhere from $500 to $50,000 on their off-road vehicles with up to $40,000 in additional investment, these enthusiasts certainly have a costly hobby. Camping, hiking and fishing tended to be their preferred outdoor activities with up to $2,500 being spent annually on these undertakings. During day trips a mean of $70 was spent in fuel and $30 in other consumables. Many come to Mission each weekend meeting at the Chevron or Tim Hortons.

For more information on the 4WDABC and its work go to www.4wdabc.ca or check out Backroader Magazine which can be found at the Mission Visitor Centre.

hank you for electing me the new President of the Chamber. I am looking forward to my year chairing such an active organization.

As we successfully advocate in a variety of areas, most notably, our recent effort in partnership with other Fraser Valley Chambers to instill the Mobile Business Licensing in the Fraser Valley, I look to build on our ability to be the voice of business in Mission. I am particularly proud of the work we have done to produce two policy resolutions for the BC Chamber of Commerce.

Both resolutions focus on the need to maintain the Fraser River, an economic resource that has helped build this community.

In the upcoming year, I look forward to hosting more industry roundtables to better understand your challenges and offering more opportunities to connect in order to build your business. Advocacy is an important pillar of the Chamber’s work and I believe that with your input we can successfully build a dynamic business environment in Mission.

The Business Track will be our conduit to provide you with the business news and opportunities that are developing in Mission. It will provide information on how we are advocating on your behalf. In May we will be adding a member spotlight that will begin showcasing one of the many businesses that make up our community. Enjoy your read!

The results will provide the board of directors, committees and staff with direction that would best meet the needs of the membership. While the response rate was 13.7 per cent, most sectors did have representation, the highest being service based.

Education Where many are interested in attending educational seminars, most would prefer meetings over lunch. Communications and marketing were clearly listed as the primary areas that would be preferred. A program is currently being developed to provide sessions this fall.

Communications

Most respondents wish to be surveyed regarding emerging issues in order to provide input. Bureaucratic process and taxation topped the list of issues members wanted addressed, followed by consumer discretionary income, merchant services and insurance costs. These items will be directed to both the Membership and Government Affairs committees for strategies to best meet members’ interest.

E-mail has now become the dominant communication tool that members prefer. While sharing information received from the Chamber is common, only 34 per cent of respondents consistently send it to others. Additionally, 41 per cent stated they occasionally used the website with the majority using the new member web portal, particularly the directory and event registration functions. Respondents felt that content, speed and navigation on the new website is good.

Historically members have wanted opportunities to hear from government and elected officials. This has now shifted to a preference for industry/sector leaders. By the fall, staff will

Information and comments collected from the survey will be used in the strategic planning process of the board of directors in April.

2010 general social survey indicates that younger people ages 15-24 spend the least time on volunteer work at 3.6 hours per month while those aged 55-64 and 65-74 spend the most with 11 and 12 hours per month respectively.

ission is undergoing some big changes and volunteering is a great way to get involved. You can volunteer in many fields, ranging from religious organizations and social service providers to sports clubs, and business and professional associations like the Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce.

As Mission’s demographics shift to a younger bedroom community, it is important that we continue to build on the tradition of volunteerism in the community.

As volunteer coordinator for the Chamber of Commerce, my role is to develop a healthy pool of volunteers who can help be the face of Mission at the Visitor Centre and drive the many wonderful events offered by the Chamber.

Why do I volunteer? For me, I’m acting on a personal belief that together we are stronger. I value business associations and social providers and feel they are fundamentally important for a healthy community. The benefit I enjoy the most from volunteering is being personally involved in a number of interesting issues and topics that occur in my own community.

There are many other rewards to consider, as well. Volunteering is a way to develop and practice skills, meet new people, integrate as a newcomer,

stay active after retirement, and enhance your self-esteem or personal satisfaction. Historically, the people here have a desire to contribute, however, we are beginning to see a shift in demographics that is affecting volunteerism.

Statistics Canada suggests an average of seven hours each month is spent on civic and voluntary work. The Stats Can

At the Visitor Centre, volunteering is far from hard work. Meeting and helping visitors that number close to 10,000 each year is a great way to highlight your own knowledge of the area and its history. It’s a reminder of the many interesting pieces Mission has to offer as well as the great events held here. The time requirement is as flexible as your schedule and training and certification will be provided.

If you are interested in volunteering with the Chamber and at the Visitor Centre, come to an information session at the Mission Library on April 17, 7 p.m., or e-mail me at volunteer@ missionchamber.bc.ca.

Review insurance every two to three years L ast fall, home-based business member Slade Dyer & Associates contacted the Chamber regarding a change to their insurance.

The concern was generated around the exclusion of the home office under their home insurance. As a consultant who works from home, their business was covered under the “incidental office use” provision within their home insurance policy. They were advised that their underwriting guidelines now define an “incidental office use” in the home to mean that there is a main place of business that is separate from the home premises but a secondary office is maintained in the home.

In order to better understand this issue, in February, the Government Affairs Committee hosted a roundtable of

member insurance service providers. In reviewing the concern, the five providers spoke to amalgamations and mergers of insurers, the risk aversion of some insurers due to global events and the changing face of the market.

Consensus of the insurance providers: all business should review their insurance on a two to three year cycle. Many noted that their business clients rarely ask unless there is a significant increase in their bill.

Overall, they recommend that you ask your provider if there have been any changes to your policy every renewal and if there are changes, is there a better product suited for your business needs. So, when is the last time you reviewed your insurance?

Beyond the days of the festival, visitors from Europe, Asia and the US come into the Visitor Centre from September to December looking for the majestic birds. According to twitcher.com, 37.6 per cent of outdoor recreational spending in the US was due to wildlife watching.

Smoke alarms needed in old buildings built prior to 1979 In 2010 the B.C. Fire Code was amended to state that all residential buildings must be equipped with a smoke alarm.

The regulations include residences constructed prior to 1979, which had previously been exempt.

This includes private residences, hotels, motels and other buildings that provide sleeping accommodations.

Battery-operated smoke alarms are comparatively inexpensive and easy to install, but Mission Fire Chief Ian Fitzpatrick said firefighters still find buildings where they are absent.

“A lot of the older places don’t have them,” he said.

The law which was amended in 2010, targeted 800,000 properties across the province that were built prior to 1979.

Landlords must make sure their rental properties comply with the law.

Tenants are asked to contact their landlord immediately if they do not have smoke alarms, or if they are not in working order.

New homes are built with smoke alarms that connect to the electrical system.

Fitzpatrick said firefighters have seen numerous scenarios where a smoke alarm saved a property from burning down, or even saved someone’s life, and they are an easy way to improve fire safety.

How to stay protected • Install smoke alarms according to manufacturer’s specifications.

• Develop a fire escape plan and practice it with the entire household, so when the smoke alarms sounds everyone knows how to escape safely.

• Test your smoke alarms monthly and change the batteries every year.

• Never remove the batteries from a smoke alarm.

• If nuisance alarms are a problem, try moving the alarm to another location, or purchase an alarm with a hush feature, which temporarily silences the alarm.

• Smoke alarms don’t last forever.

Replace them if they are more than 10 years old.

For more information about protecting yourself against fires and to learn more about fire alarms, visit the

district’s website at www.mission. ca and click on the “Municipal Hall” click, “Departments”, and “Fire Rescue.”

There are links to safety, videos, frequently asked questions, photos, and bylaws and regulations.

(b)

deleting schedule C, which is the map that identifies the Silverdale Urban Reserve Area, in its entirety.

This bylaw proposes to amend District of Mission Official Community Plan 4052-2008 for the following legally described property: Parcel Identifier: 025-742-221 Lot 103 Section 28 Township 17 New Westminster District Plan BCP7108 from (1) Urban Residential to Parks, Recreation and Open Space; and (2) from Urban Residential to Townhouse.

4. DISTRICT OF MISSION ZONING AMENDING BYLAW 5285-2012-5050(76) (R12-011-Van Mar Constructors) This bylaw proposes to amend the text of Comprehensive Development 26 (CD26) zone in District of Mission Zoning Bylaw 5050-2009 by

amending Section 1266 Part G. Floor Space (1) by increasing the floor space ratio from 0.5 to 0.7;

IN MEMORIAM

In Loving Memory

ALLAN, Ross October 3, 1985 April 15, 2008 We never ask for miracles but just one would do, To have the front door open and see you walk through.

Our hearts still ache in sadness; many think the wound is healed, But they know little of the pain and sorrow concealed.

Remembering you is easy, we do it everyday, But missing you is heartache that never goes away.

Ross, we miss your humour, smile and passion for freedom and equality.
