Mission Record

Hatzic Lake is on its way to becoming a boggy, marshy wetland. Sand and silt are choking Legace Creek and the other streams that flow into the lake, and are being carried down into it.

Already, it is possible to walk from the eastern shore of the lake to Hatzic Island without getting your knees wet. A diving board on a dock perches ironically over a half meter of water. It’s not good for fish, it can be dangerous for boaters, and it’s wreaking havoc on farms upstream from the water system. That’s the position of two men working to restore Hatzic Prairie to its former glory. “This was the nicest swimming place in the whole Valley,” said Larry Wiens, who moved to the area 45 years ago. “Now they call it Hatzic Sandbox.” He and Carl Von Einsiedel are two directors for the Dewdney Area Improvement District

(DAID). That body is charged with maintaining the 11 km of dyke and the pumphouse system that have mostly protected Hatzic Prarie from flooding since the destructive flood of 1948. They go armed with engineering reports, a study on agricultural impacts, historical data and a lot of local knowlege as they enter a campaign to get some work done – work they say is long overdue. Post-war engineers put together a flap gate system of flood prevention. When the Fraser River is high in spring and early summer, the flaps close to keep Fraser water from rushing into Hatzic Lake. But, when the flaps are See HATZIC Page 3

Abbotsford-Mission MLA Randy Hawes says the DAID plan for a new pumphouse and a dredging program is a winner – well researched and necessary. “It’s very good, we (the province) are supportive of the plan,” said Hawes. What’s more, he agrees that there are serious problems that threaten to ruin both Hatzic’s fisheries and its recreational values. “It’ll become a sand bog,” he predicts. “It’ll be called wetlands, and there’ll be a little trickle going through it.” However, he wants to see Fisheries and Oceans agree to an ongoing dredging program to keep the lake and the streams feeding into it clear of gravel and silt. Hawes said federal Fisheries has placed an unofficial moratorium on gravel removal from water courses in an attempt to preserve fish habitat. When they do allow work to be done in waterways, it is a slow process. Contractors are hired to literally move the fish in pails. “You have to hire an army of people,” he said. “They seem to think if you put a bucket in the water it’ll squish the fish. It’s ridiculous.” Now he is seeing creeks that are completely filled in with gravel. “Spawning grounds are being destroyed,” he said. He said the siltation in the Fraser River

make this a more serious issue than just Hatzic’s problems, and dredging is necessary. He recalled an ill-fated river expedition by politicos with the Fraser Basin Management council. The hired two jetboats and an experienced guide for the trip, but in the changing river a boat ran into a sandbar and people in the boat wound up in hospital. “This river is now so dangerous,” said Hawes. “Hatzic Prairie is a microcosm of what’s going on throughout the province.” However, he says dyking and other intervention by man has made it necessary for us to replace the river’s natural means of flushing out gravel by dredging. “The pumps won’t be funded if we don’t have a way of getting that crap out of the lake.”

HATZIC SANDBOX

Reaching a critical stage From HATZIC Page 1

closed and it rains steadily for a few days, Hatzic residents can watch the water rising by the hour. The pumphouse is supposed to send the water through the dyke and on to the Fraser, but it can’t always keep up. Farms in the Hatzic Valley get flooded, and residents of the lowland resort community of Everglades have been forced to canoe to their front doors. Von Einsiedel said DAID wants three things: Q A new pump station and fish ladder, Q The channel cleared of silt and gravel Q A means for maintaining the system silt free in future. The total cost would be $9.5 million. They are applying for funding under a play that would see 45 per cent paid by each of the federal and provincial governments, and 10 per cent by DAID. Von Einsiedel said it is a nobrainer for government, if only because of the financial impacts on what was once prime agricultural land. “This farmland is producing at a fraction of what they could,” he said, explaining that where farmers once got three cuts of hay, flooding has reduced them to one. Millions in agricultural values is being lost. Wiens points out that there are 520 properties in the flood plain, about half of them farms, valued at about half a billion dollars -- so floods are expensive. There was a major flood in 1983, and it did an estimated $12 million damage. The first phase of their proposed project is the simple construction of a new pumphouse, valued at about $4.5 million. The 60-year-old pumps there now can move 80,000 gallons per minute, but that is about one-third of what is required. And they should be replaced for the sake of the local fisheries, say the men. “When fish go through our pumps it chews them up,” said Wiens. “They were not designed to be fish friendly in 1949.” Fisheries and Oceans, the Ministry of Environment, the Inspector of Dykes and other agencies all smile on the DAID plan, says Wiens, but they don’t necessarily view it as a priority. And that, really, is what the locals are lobbying to change. It is an issue that has been in on the backburner for since the mid 1990s, said Wiens. “But it’s reaching a greater critical stage, because of the silt buildup.”

Rick Gaunt says the sandbar in the background was once about 10 feet in diameter, and now he estimates that when the water is low it

can be as big as 300 feet long, clearly demonstrating the amount of silt that is coming into Hatzic Lake. NEIL CORBETT PHOTO

Lake residents endure flooding Everglades Resort residents watching lake get shallower BY

When Hatzic Lake floods, Rick Gaunt canoes to the front door of his cabin at Everglades Resort. Some of his neighbours prefer hip waders. He is the chairman of Everglades Resort, whose residents, along with local farmers, would stand to gain a lot if the pumping system is upgraded and the lake dredged of its rapidly worsening siltation. He points to a red pole he planted in a high spot in the lake. It used to be about three meters in diameter. Hard to see, and he wanted to mark it for boaters. Now that high spot is big enough to play

soccer on. Gaunt was spent his leisure time on Hatzic Lake for 40 years, and he says dredging is desperately needed. While it has been discouraged to protect fish, he says he has seen a seven-foot sturgeon left cut off by receding waters, swimming in shallows for three weeks. And he has watched spawning salmon waiting for the water to rise. He said it has always been low water, but estimates you can touch bottom in about 70 per cent of the lake now. “It’s getting shallower and shallower,” he said. “You can’t go all the way around the island in a boat of any kind anymore.” And a better pumphouse is desperately needed, he says. Gaunt has raised his cabin twice after flooding, and it is now 42” off the ground. These floods aren’t a distant memory. In January 2005 the water was high enough that water and

There are studies and reports, and there are committees and experts. And then there is local knowledge, and one Hatzic farmer is a fountain of it. Doug Anderson has a long history in Hatzic. He would canoe Legace Creek as a young man, trapping muskrat. He got a good price for the pelts, which were used as boot lining for servicemen. Twice a day he would canoe the slough. He was there in 1949 when the pumphouse was being built. He remembers the crew also built a pyramid of whiskey bottles. “The construction crew was drunk all winter,” he recalls. “We had to have it by spring. My dad and I went down there several times and questioned this.” Quicksand apparently created problems for the crew, and he said the pump was eventually built four feet or five feet higher than the engineers intended. The result is that the two pumps, which are each supposed to move water at a rate of 100,000 gallons per minute, are only operating at about 40 per cent capacity.

sewer to the resort had to be turned off. In October 2003 there was no power and now sewer or water for weeks. Gaunt said damage is generally limited at the resort, because people are now ready for floods. “I came here knowing it’s a flood plain. We’re ready for that.” That year Golder Associates did a report for the Fraser Valley Regional District saying that the pumps move water at 6.03 cubic meters per second “which is insufficient to drain Hatzic Slough during significant storm events.” It recommended tripling the pumping capacity. Everglades is the largest resort on the Island with 367 lots, but there are more lots at Agua Vista, Dog Patch, Little Beach and Swan’s Point. Gaunt says people on the lake are unanimous in their support of plans to dredge and upgrade the pumps “I hope it comes, because it’s needed.”

Anderson had a 200 acre sod farm in Hatzic, south of the Lougheed Highway, which is now operated by his sons. For the past 27 years he has operated a dairy farm on Farms Road. Many times during long rains he has seen his cows standing out in the fields in water, as have other farmers in the area. “There are times when Farms Road has two feet of water on it,” he groused. “In this day and age, there’s no excuse for it.” Anderson used to take gravel out of Legace Creek, There are times when before the sediment could be carried to Hatzic Lake. “I used to dredge it out.

What’s more, they can’t be turned on until the water is about 8.5 feet above sea level, which is about one foot from where flooding happens for the lowest residents behind the dyke.

Were you a fraud victim? BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Morgan Huyghe has been charged with fraud, but police are still looking for potential victims who may not even be aware that they have been deceived. Huyghe, 30, was arrested and charged last week after a man he approached became suspicious of his story and called police. He allegedly claimed he was a

long haul truck driver from Alberta and needed cash to get the keys out of his truck. Police have received other complaints about Huyghe, and suspect he may be telling other stories in the parking lot of grocery stores, like Safeway, Superstore and Save on Foods. It’s not illegal to panhandle and ask for money, but it’s illegal for someone to claim to be someone they’re not, explained

Cpl. Sharon Siluch. “Fraud is giving people false information as to why he needs the m o n e y, ” she said. Huyghe Huyghe was still at the scene when police arrived and he was taken into custody. Because he doesn’t have a fixed address, police were able to hold

him until his court date. “We want others who may have been defrauded by him to come forward,” said Siluch. If more victims come forward, police may be able to lay more charges and get him off the streets. “He needs help,” said Siluch. Huyghe has brown hair and blue eyes. If you think you may have been a victim of this fraud, call Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161.

Rescue equipment stolen BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Thousands of dollars of Search and Rescue equipment was stolen from a vehicle parked in the Reservoir Trail Head parking lot, near the Mission landfill on Dewdney Trunk Road last Friday. The theft took place between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m., said Roy Hafeli from Search and Rescue. Items taken include a portable radio and mic, GPS Garmin Etrex, Various SAR clothing, such as a jacket, tactical vest

and helmet, head lamp; first aid equipment, thermal protection, and other SAR equipment, like compasses, maps and ropes. It’s all worth about $3,000. Everything is identifiable as Search and Rescue equipment, said Hafeli, asking shops and the public to keep an eye out for anyone trying to sell the stolen gear. The member that had his vehicle broken into is a manager and carries a little more equipment than other members, said Hafeli. He also kept the equipment in his vehicle because that he could

provide a faster response time to calls that way. “Generally we have lockers at the base and we either keep our equipment there or at home,” noted Hafeli, adding the manager also frequently works in rural locations, and it would take him another half hour or so to get to the base to pick up his gear. Anyone with information about this crime, or the whereabouts of the missing equipment, is asked to call RCMP at 604-826-7161 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

2010-2011 will be a challenging year financially says secretary-treasurer BY

NEIL CORBETT

Mission Record

The Mission School District is drafting plans to cut $3 million out of its budget for the coming year. Government has cut funding, and a school board is not allowed to run a deficit, so the only choice is to pare down expenses, explained SecretaryTreasurer Roy Daykin. He presented the budget forecast for the 2010/2011 school year. It shows $56.6 million in operating expenditures, with a shortfall of $2,944,200. Daykin called it the worst-case scenario, but foresees the need for cuts. “It’s going to be a difficult year,” he said. DAYKIN The district’s school population has been shrinking in recent years, with three schools forced to close. This was common around the province, and the B.C. government provided additional funding to boards to “soften the blow,” brought by declining enrolments. That was known as funding protection, and Dayking told trustees that “it is history.” Last year it was $600,000 in Mission. What funding will replace it remains to be seen. Enrolment in Mission has stabilized. The province will not fund increases in teacher salary increment increases, which amount to $175,000 across the

district. Nor will it pay $250,000 for an eight per cent increase in teachers’ pension costs. The board must also come up with carbon offset costs of $100,000. The government has also told boards it will no longer be providing facilities maintenance funding as it has in the past, but the Mission district has already done some work on schools, anticipating the funding. Daykin said an estimated $800,000 worth of work will have to be done. School boards are not allowed to post deficit budgets, so if the province doesn’t come up with more funding, there will likely be cuts. “We would have to go through organization change,” said Daykin. He said the Education Ministry is expected to clarify the amount of funding it will provide by mid March.

Present year’s budget balanced Daykin also presented the final budget for the present school year to the board at the February meeting. There had been a projected $440,000 budget surplus, but it was taken up. The total budget was $55.1 million for operating costs. “It’s a fairly straightforward amended budget, balanced as it is expected to be,” said Daykin.

Board raises rental rates It will cost more to rent a classroom, gym, cafeteria or library in Mission, after the school board reviewed its rental rates compared to neighbouring districts. Mission school facilities have been far cheaper than many surrounding school districts. Right now it costs $16 per hour to rent a secondary school gymnasium here, compared to $44 in Chilliwack, $45 in Abbotsford, $85 in Maple Ridge and $208 in Langley. That will rise to $30 per hour next

year, $40 in 2011/12, and $50 per hour in 2012/13. Other facility rates will also rise on a graduated scale over three years. Notably, libraries will rise from $8 per hour to $20, $30 and $40 per hour; and elementary gyms from $8 to $20, $25 and $30. The biggest impact will be in cafeteria rental, which now cost $16 per hour. That will rise to $100 next year, but will stay at that rate through the 2012/13 school year.

OPINION

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

DAID’s solution would save lake

here are two related but separate problems threatening what should be a beautiful little lake. First there are the 60-year-old pumps intended to drain it when the Fraser is high, but water pours into the lake from rain and freshet. It is not good enough to argue that people knowingly moved onto a flood plain, so they should suffer the consequences. That area was developed years ago in what was supposed to be a controlled river and lake system. Better technology exists to protect the people living there today from flooding, and it should be used. For the price of a $4.5 million upgrade to the pump system, the 520 properties affected would have more productive farmland, and more valuable residential and recreational lots. The issue of dredging a watercourse is controversial. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans tries to protect fish habitat, but those who have done dredging, or witnessed it, claim it is a better solution than allowing gravel and silt to fill in streams. It is a practice that was done for the last century, when fisheries were healthier than they are today. Resident living around Hatzic Lake, and even those who view it on a regular basis, have noticed the steady in-filling caused by siltation. Sand bars are expanding,a nd the lake bottom is coming up. They have watched salmon and other fish become landlocked when water levels drop. So, the present situation, which will worsen if something is not done, cannot be a benefit to fisheries. Representatives of the Dewdney Area Improvement District have a good solution, using ideas that have been around for years. It’s time for government to make the issue a priority.

B.C.’s Sally Field moment W

inning her second Oscar in 1985, TV surfer girlturned-serious actor Sally Field famously blubbered to the Motion Picture Academy judges, “I can’t deny the fact that you like me, right now you like me!” Vancouver had this kind of tearful self-esteem breakthrough as the sun finally shone on the 2010 Olympics. The monsoon at Cypress Bowl, the missing leg of the opening-night cauldron, the chain link around the outdoor flame, even the freak accident at the Whistler sliding centre, all were forgiven if not forgotten. Cue the Team USA hotties. Skier Lindsey Vonn, speed skater Shani Davis and snowboarder Shaun White dashed To to gold in one picture-postcard day, their teeth as white as the snow, and NBC set its own Olympic record for ratings. You like us, America. So what, the Olympic critics will say. We blow $6 billion on a party so Vancouver and Whistler can look good in their little cocktail dresses for a couple of weeks. They’ll get the tourism bump, like they did at Expo, and the rest of B.C. will help pay the bill. First off, the figure of $6 billion, or $8 billion if you’re a really unhinged

Olympic hater, is simply silly. Lumping in the Canada Line and Sea-to-Sky Highway projects makes about as much sense as going out for another protest at West Vancouver’s Eagleridge Bluffs, which some superannuated hippies did last week. Take the Canada Line. Seriously, before you whine about that project being an Olympic cost, ride it from downtown to the airport, or out to Richmond Centre. Take a look down at the old industrial zones that are already redeveloping in its shadow, just as they did at Metrotown, North Surrey, Westminster Quay and Lougheed Mall. Just as the Olympic bid was supported by NDP and B.C. Liberal provincial governments, the Canada Line was m financed by Liberal and Conservative federal governments. And it’s easy to see why. Even if you’re a climate change skeptic, compare the swift and silky ride of this train to fighting traffic across South Vancouver and see if you are still opposed. So what, you might say if you live outside the golden triangle of Whistler, Vancouver and Victoria. The Hurtlands get what they usually get, nothing. Don’t tell that to the Comox Valley. Bright folks there went to work as soon

as Vancouver won the bid, pitching Mount Washington ski resort as a place for winter athletes to train. They got federal and provincial grants to develop sites for cross-country and biathlon events, and went on to host teams from Australia, Sweden, Netherlands, Great Britain, Finland, Czech Republic, Norway, France, Germany and the United States. Reading the local papers, you’d guess that the main industries in Sooke and Port Renfrew are protesting the increasingly rare logging trucks or crying about private forest land being treated like, well, private forest land. Don’t tell that to Sooke’s team at BC Street, a showcase for community tourism set up near the Olympic oval Richmond. Told of the opportunity in November, Sooke booked the maximum space. With local business and volunteer help, they built a beautiful display showing off their fishing and sightseeing. Don’t tell it to Mike Puhallo, Chilcotin cowboy poet and rodeo judge. He’s manning the Cariboo exhibit at B.C. Street, next to the South OkanaganSimilkameen wine tasting. As American TV comedian Stephen Colbert said when he arrived to a crowd waiting for him to shoot scenes on location next to Science World, “this is the politest mob I’ve ever been in.” You can’t buy publicity like that. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

More support needed to fight marijuana grow ops

Mission Seniors Activity Centre is on 10 Avenue Editor, The Record I wonder if you would be so kind as to disabuse your readers of the false impression given last week by the letter of Mr. George Evens, that there is no seniors’ centre in Mission. He should know better, as he is currently a member of the Mission Seniors Centre Association Board. However, he is busy politicking in his usual style. Mission has a Seniors Activity Centre located at 10th Avenue and Taulbert, in what was formerly called the Playstation. Our phone number is 814-2188.

Our sign is to be seen high on the wall, and our well-equipped office is open for business, care of the secretary/treasurer, Jeanne Price and her board colleagues. Comprehensive information about seniors services is available. We are (with one or two identifiable exceptions) grateful to the Mission district council for making the building available to us on generous terms. They have generously made alterations and provided equipment to suit our needs. Councillors have visited facilities elsewhere and, I am as-

sured, will support expansion in due course, and as opportunity permits. Any suggestion of sour confrontation at this time would be regrettably counter productive. Our council is with us. The association also thanks the many businesses and individuals who have made donations. Consideration, consultation and cooperation are now required to show we cane make the centre a worthy part of Mission Society. We will do our best. Frank Sleigh President, MSCA

More police patrols needed to protect community from crime Editor, The Record: ‘Our little town’ is not the case anymore. Our truck was stolen last Thursday and since then we have heard other stories of vehicles stolen in the area over the past week. The saddest part of this is the police are very rarely seen in this area and in the last week nothing has changed. I would ask why the whole town does not get

patrolled. I don’t expect to see them all the time as town is getting bigger, but more then a couple of times a year. We would like to let the Mission RCMP know the east side of town, north and south of Seventh Avenue would like some protection from crime too. T.F. Mission

We know the grow ops and their supporters are everywhere in society. Does that fact cloud our council’s judgement on this issue? I don’t know one way or the other but I do think they could be doing a lot more which makes me doubt their commitment to the fight. Support from the provincial government is also necessary but their zeal to fight crime before the last election has all but evaporated away now. Which brings us back to the extensive coverage recently in The Record. We have to be more proactive in reporting grow ops and suspicious activities in our own neighbourhoods. Yes, it takes time to shut these ultimate cash cows for the gangs down but reporting them is the first step. What are you going to do to protect your neighbourhood? Robert T. Rock Mission

the work being done to shut down the grow ops as quickly as our laws — which are totally skewed to the criminal’s benefit — can allow for but here’s my question: why isn’t City Hall doing more? Forget Japan, I wish we were twinned with the mayor of Surrey who wages a very active and public fight against the grow ops and their ultimately benefactors in the gangs. Does the city not have the power under the Health Act to tear down the buildings where grow ops have been because of the chemicals used which have seeped into the very foundations of these buildings? If not, then why hasn’t our council and mayor established a registry of former grow ops like Calgary has done so that no unsuspecting home buyers are stuck with these contaminated properties? Who is City Hall really protecting?

Mission Seniors Centre Association is grateful for contributions the district has made so far.

Editor, The Record: The article by Carol Aun was a timely as well as necessary reminder of just how the cancerous hold on our neighbourhoods by the grow ops is still strong among the subculture of the drug trade. The topic has been pushed into the background by other issues recently but it is something which we should all be vigilant about in order to keep our neighbourhoods free of this garbage. And by garbage I mean the addicts, the growers, and ultimately the gangs who are growing rich ruining lives, as well as their supporters in our legal system who have distorted our laws to their own benefit. I totally support those people locally who are risking their lives taking down these grow-ops. Maybe that frequent writer from Abbotsford who supports the use of illegal drugs might not but I do. But then I’m not about to listen to the pot induced musings of a self-confessed and self-medicating stoner anymore than I’d accept financial advice from a bank robber. This doesn’t come from some outdated ideas on what is right or wrong from the Judaic-Christian value systems. It comes from the newest scientific and psychological studies that are showing that pot is far from the harmless recreational drug that its devotes want you to believe. We’re setting ourselves up for an explosion in mental health problems as the long term effects of use become more apparent. While I appreciate

and at the venues. The support they’ve given to Canadian athletes has been tremendous. The arenas and stadiums are awash in red. So are the streets. They’ve embraced gold medallists Alexandre Bilodeau, Maëlle Ricker of West Vancouver, Kristine Nesbitt, Jon Montgomery and figure skaters Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir. They’ve also fallen in love with those with a silver, like freestyle mogul skier Jenn Heil. And they don’t get upset when their beloved Canadians don’t reach the podium. They’re disappointed and somewhat sad for them, but they don’t get angry. They just hit Robson and Granville Streets and party to celebrate Canada. Good for them. For more than two decades Canada has been improving its medal count at almost every Olympics. That’s amazing. The country has strived for excellence and has been achieving it. It’s been a slow progression, but that’s all right. There’s a danger, however, the huge expectations will demoralize the country’s psyche. That would be a shame. It would be best to allow success to be achieved through hard work and dedication – and funding – not by forcing it. Lose the arrogance, not the money. After all, that’s the Canadian way.

Editor, The Record: The Olympic Flame has arrived in Vancouver and Whistler following its historic 106-day journey and it could not have arrived here without your support and assistance. With your help, participation and spirit, the Olympic Flame made its way successfully through over 1,030 communities, being carried by some 12,000 proud Olympic Torchbearers and lit a cauldron in each of our 189 community celebrations. Thanks to everyone for your support in helping the Olympic Flame reach out to all Canadians, setting a nation ablaze with Olympic Spirit and national pride. The Olympic Flame continues to burn as a beacon of light, hope and a symbol of peace. On behalf of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay, presented by Coca-Cola and RBC and supported by the Government of Canada, we thank you for your great hospitality, for lining the streets, and for cheering on the relay with your friends and family as Olympic Torchbearers each carried the Olympic Flame.

You are as responsible for staging these Games as we are — we thank you from the bottom of our glowing hearts for every effort you contributed to this long-awaited culminating moment of the final cauldron lighting as the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games began. The team will carry the positive memories of the Olympic Flame’s visit for their entire lives, as will the entire nation. Thank you for being a part of the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay legacy.

Two people have been charged in connection with a fight at Boston Pizza on Feb. 19 around 12:40 a.m. Mission resident, Rajandeep “Ryan” Sekhon, 19, was charged with aggravated assault, and the second male, 17, cannot be named because he is a

young offender. Police have spoken to numerous witnesses and have received a number of tips they are still investigating. RCMP were called to the restaurant at the Junction to break up an altercation last week between an Indo-Canadian group and another group of mostly Caucasians. According to police, it

appears the two groups knew each other, and the violence started when an Indo-Canadian male accused someone from the other group of throwing money at him. “It was a brutal attack,” said Const. Amanda Fallis, noting only one person was injured. “The victim was quite a bit older.” He was taken to hos-

pital with serious injuries to his face and head. The victim was treated with staples and stitches, and is now recovering at home. Police have reviewed video surveillance from the restaurant and are asking anyone with any information about this incident to call 604-8267161 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

MacDonald said the operation is “one of the biggest ones” ever seen in this area. Although a definitive gang connection has not yet been established, MacDonald said police are investigating the grow as being linked to organized crime. The plants were discovered in five outbuildings and two com-

mercial trailers on a rural property located at 6570 Riverside St., not far from the entrance to Matsqui Trail Park. Also found were four 100pound bags of marijuana in the main residence. Arrested on drug production and trafficking charges were Michael Owens, 43, and Katherine Essex, 36.

Businesses eye gold in readying Sochi BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Canada and Russia may battle on ice for medals, but the two nations are trying to forge close business ties as the Olympic flag passes to 2014 Winter Games host city Sochi. Premier Gordon Campbell and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson signed cooperation agreements with their Russian counterparts Tuesday, pledging to work together to ensure the next Games benefit as much as possible from the Vancouver 2010 experience. The hope is those ties will also pay off in the form of lucrative business contracts for Canadian firms as Sochi 2014 nears. “The new technology sector’s got a huge opportunity there,” Campbell said in an interview with Black Press. “We do have experience in building significant transportation infrastructure – not just on time, but on budget and early and that’s something I think they can benefit from.”

Missing youth is home Fourteen-year-old Christian Leggatt returned home safely. The teen was reported missing last week when he couldn’t be located by his parents or officials. Leggatt is in government care and has disappeared from time to time, but attempts to contact him through family and friends have been unsuccessful. The concern is he is known to engage with other youth that have displayed high risk behavior, say police who are simply “concerned.” Police say there wasn’t anything suspicious surrounding his disappearance.

But converting B.C.’s Olympic hosting experience into corporate gold may not be as simple as it sounds. Provincial government officials say cracking into the Russian market is proving a major challenge – concepts like open bidding are not widely practised there. B.C. firms that work in Russia now are mostly linked to the resource industries, not Olympicrelated fields. One factor that could work in the province’s favour is Sochi’s apparent slow pace in preparing its venues and other infrastructure.

The city has no rapid transit system but is considering building a line, opening opportunities for Canadian partners like Bombardier or SNC-Lavalin. Engineering and infrastructure firms could do well, as could other purveyors of more specialized Olympic-oriented systems or services. If time pressure begins to build on Sochi, organizers there could almost tag along on the 2010 buying cycle and look to Vanoc’s suppliers for myriad plugand-play solutions. Krasnodar region vice-governor Dzhambulat Khatuov said the

Sochi area is looking forward to tapping Canadian know-how in sectors ranging from transportation infrastructure to energy-saving technology. “You have passed the Olympic exam with flying colours,” he said, calling the Vancouver Games “spectacular, bright and unforgettable.” He predicted trade between the Krasnodar region in southern Russia and Canada could easily grow ten-fold from the $11.6 million per year so far. Campbell cautioned Sochi’s mayor the next 1,444 days will fly by.

Olympic transit loads hit 1.6 million a day System handling three times as many extra riders as expected BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

The record-smashing number of passengers taking transit during the Olympics has blown away TransLinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preGames projections. Plans were laid based on an expected one-third jump in transit use to a million passengers a day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; roughly 250,000 more than usual. Instead, the system is carrying an average of 1.6 million people a day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; more than double the norm and 60 per cent more than expected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just simply did not expect the number of residents coming into town to take it all in downtown,â&#x20AC;? TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really surprised us was the number of people who came over from Vancouver Island.â&#x20AC;? BC Ferries has added extra sailings to carry several thousand foot passengers a day and extra buses have been scrambled to pick them up. Transit day passes are now sold aboard the ferries. Large numbers of people have also come from the U.S. and are using park and rides at stations in Richmond and Surrey, Hardie added. He said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to say whether TransLink would have tried to obtain more buses for the Games had it known three times the number of expected new riders would show up. All 20 Canada Line trains are often running, as well as all three SeaBuses and at times TransLink has thrown on even more than its 160-bus Olympic reserve fleet by pulling coaches from the maintenance yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It says something about the capacity of the system to handle a lot of people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as long as

nobody takes any days off and we run absolutely everything that rolls or floats.â&#x20AC;? The system hit a perfect storm of demand on Friday and Saturday, when good weather and popular concerts and events drew immense crowds to downtown. An estimated 250,000 people rode the Canada Line those days â&#x20AC;&#x201C; two and a half times the preGames record. The Expo and Millennium Lines are carrying an average 370,000 daily (up 54 per cent), SeaBus is carrying 48,000 (up 200 per cent) and West Coast Express is up 78 per cent to nearly 20,000 passengers a day.

Wait times to board SeaBus and downtown SkyTrain stations have at times approached one hour, Hardie said, adding initial reports of waits of up to 90 minutes to board SeaBus Saturday appear overstated. He credits the patience of passengers and the fact the lines do move. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as they see progress theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not too anxious that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get to where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going.â&#x20AC;? TransLink faced complaints last weekend from some people who said they were â&#x20AC;&#x153;strandedâ&#x20AC;? downtown after SkyTrain or the SeaBuses stop running. Hardie said more signage is going up outside stations to direct late riders to the nearest Night

George Station to catch a Langley-bound bus there, when they should have got off a stop before at Surrey Central. Passengers are urged to plan their route ahead at www.travelsmart2010.ca. Despite extra trains being added and extra cars on some runs, West Coast Express has at times been unable to take all passengers waiting to board at Port Moody. Hardie said buses are dispatched to carry those left behind to the Millennium Line. Buses through downtown have also struggled to keep schedules because of pedestrians clogging intersections. As a result, the Main, Victoria and Knight Street buses have often â&#x20AC;&#x153;short turnedâ&#x20AC;? and skipped the

southern sections of their routes in order to save time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By and large everybody who wanted to get someplace got there,â&#x20AC;? he said. The transit loads are heavy in part because people have followed instructions and not tried to drive downtown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People were pretty much programmed not to drive,â&#x20AC;? Hardie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something we want to sustain for the final week otherwise we could have very nasty congestion.â&#x20AC;? Many of the park and rides fill up fast, Hardie said, particularly at Bridgeport Station on the Canada Line. But he said there tends to be plenty of room at lots in New Westminster. A sampling of passengers arriving downtown Monday were all impressed by the system and upbeat with their experience so far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, within five minutes the lineup had moved and I was at the front on the SkyTrain.â&#x20AC;? Langley resident Lucy Adams had nothing but praise for the system after driving to Bridgeport Station and taking the Canada Line from there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been absolutely excellent,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been one bit of problem.â&#x20AC;?

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2010

Teaching has rewards A

s promised last week I am sharing some of the greatest rewards I have received as fly fishing instructor and youth fly fishing coach. I will be using the initials of selected individuals to allow them to maintain their anonymity. One of these diamonds in the ruff was MM. He became a member Je of the Kwhayquit Fly Fishers (Kwayhquitlum Middle School) at the request of his counselor. MM came from a very low income single parent home and had serious self-esteem issues. The most apparent of these was his inability to look anyone in the eye; in conversation he would stare at the floor and talk with an almost inaudible voice. Nevertheless we took him on as a full member of our club and proceeded to teach him how to tie flies. Week after week he would come and tie flies, put them in his fly box and then disappear in the sea of faces that was middle school. Then came our monthly fishing trip; his first ever. MM was the first to catch a fish and there was no mistake who it was, because he was yelling at the top of his lungs. Everyone stopped in amazement.

It was the first time anyone had heard him utter anything over a whisper. Each club member gave him the traditional “Way to go!” For the first time MM looked stood straight and looked everyone in the eye. His counselor later told me the change was nothing short of miraculous. He had found his niche and it fit. ff As time went on MM experienced his first campfire and camping experience on our annual overnight trip. A box of flies, a handme-down rod, a fish, and a changed life. That’s why I teach fly fishing.

UFV seeks unsung heroes Do you know a local hero who deserves credit for their outstanding work for their community? How about nominating them for the Betty Urquhart Community Service award, offered annually by UFV? Urquhart, a founding employee of Fraser Valley College (now UFV) believed strongly in community outreach. She passed away in 1995. Each year, UFV honours a person or group who exemplifies this community commitment by presenting them with the Betty Urquhart community service award. Last year, Milt Walker of Abbotsford won for his volunteer work with the new Reach Gallery Museum. He chairs the board and played a key role in bringing the facility from dream stage to fruition. Past winners include Pat and Peggy Wiens of Hope, who won for their Soup’s On lunch program, Mission resident Tara Scheirer for her work organizing the Warm Zone, a temporary cold weather homeless shelter in

Alyssa Erickson is a member of the B.C. Games U-16 girls team headed to Terrace. She has been lighting it up in midget rep hockey, even though she is only a first-year bantam in age. NEIL CORBETT PHOTO

A million young hockey players are watching Olympic hockey, dreaming that someday they could compete on the world stage, and one Mission girl is taking strides in that direction. Alyssa Erickson has made the Under-16 girls team going to the B.C. winter Games in Terrace. She is the leading scorer with the Ridge Meadows Barracudas midget rep girls team, who are bound for the provincials. She has also made a selects club, Team Pacific, made up of the top bantam girls in the region, who will be competing at tournaments in Montreal and Winnipeg. These would be great achievements taken at face value, but considering that Alyssa is only 13 years old – a first-year bantam playing midget – makes them outstanding. “She could set her sights on being in the Olympics in four years,” says Ralph Vos, who coaches Alyssa in the Hatzic Secondary hockey academy. “She’s a natural talent. She’s got all the moves that the higher girls have,” he said.

Hot Icebreakers face Flames BY

Mission Record

For the first time in recent memory, Mission hockey fans have a playoffbound hometown junior squad to root for. And the Junior B Icebreakers aren’t limping into the post season, they kicked the door down with a fourgame win streak to end the regular schedule. The best-of-seven series against the Ridge Meadows Flames began last night at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge, and continues tonight as Game 2 is played at the Mission Leisure Centre “That was our goal at the beginning of the season, to make the playoffs. We would like to have had more wins along the way, but we’re there,” said an elated team owner Ivor Venema. The Icebreakers finished the season 14-31 with three overtime losses. The

four-game winning binge put them comfortably ahead of the Port Moody squad they had been battling all season for the final playoff spot, with 31 points to their 23. Last Wednesday evening they beat the Kodiaks 8-7 in a shootout in Aldergrove, as fourth shooter Matt Hargreaves buried the game winner and midget affiliate goaltender Hunter Wiebe stopped all four one-on-ones coming his way.

In regulation time Matt Schmitt had a goal and two assists, Matt Keller scored twice, and Hargreaves, Joel Venema, Nathan Law and Darren Lundrigan all scored. “They’ve picked it up a bit at the end of the season,” said Venema of his players. “The boys are playig well, and the guys who are supposed to score goals are doing it.” Saturday the Icebreakers finally buried the Black Panthers’ playoff hopes with a 5-4 win in Port Moody. Luke Venema had a goal and two assists, Kegan Hunter had a goal and an assist, and affiliate Andrew Leljen, Joel Venema and Ryan Stewart each scored. Sunday the Icebreakers made it four straight, with a 4-3 win over the Icehawks. Law, Schmitt, Joel Venema and Brandon Regier all scored. Harry Fredeman was back in net for the final two wins of the season. See ICEBREAKERS Page 23

Game 2 tonight in Mission From ICEBREAKERS Page 22

Venema said there’s an energy around the team these days. They face a tough Ridge team that went 28-16-4, and who beat Mission in all seven of their games this year. “They’re obviously tops in our division, and we’re the underdog in the series,” said Venema. “But this group of guys, when they are up for a game and excited to play, they play very well.”

Coach Jeff Regier said the two teams play a similar skating, gritty style. He said Ridge gets good goaltending and solid play from their blueliners, so if they bury a few chances they can be a challenging opponent. “We haven’t beat them, but they’re beatable,” said the coach. With the Flames’ home rink at Albion just 15 minutes down the Lougheed, Venema expects supporters of both teams to provide a good playoff atmosphere for the games at either rink.

BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

For three days McKinley Hellenes was consumed with the story of a 25-year-old man named Seth. She visited the grounds at Riverside, where Seth would’ve spent a lot of time during his teenage years, and she thought about the flashbacks he was having and how it is affecting his life now. The Mission author created Seth for the 3-Day Novel Contest, which takes place every Labour Day weekend. About 650 writers from across Canada, the US and even worldwide signed up last year to challenge themselves and their creativity. The first place winner, which was just announced last month, was offered a chance to have his story published, and the second place winner, Hellenes, received $500. The contest is a literary marathon that has been running since 1977. Hellenes, who entered the contest for the first time last year, was “very surprised and gratified” with the results. She admitted she didn’t seriously consider entering, hesitated in sending the entry in. “I felt like I wasn’t finished,” she said. “I knew there was so much more to tell. It was really just 100 pages of a novel with a hasty ending. I knew I wanted to return to tell it properly.” The story is about 100 pages long at the moment, and Hellenes plans to finish it with another hundred or two pages. Hellenes came up with the story idea a few days before the contest bean. “My characters always come to me first, and sort of tell me their stories. It usually begins with an image or phrase and I begin writing without having any idea what will come of it.” In the end, the story turned out to be completely different than what the author had envisioned. Seth lives in a group home in east Vancouver and is troubled by his past. As a teenager, signs of mental illness surfaced and has never felt at home outside Riverview Hospital, where he

spent much of his life. Seth is “observant of the world around him, though he does not feel like he is a part of it,” explained his creator. “He doesn’t know how to move into a ay of living his life outside of his condition, for which he is heavily medicated. He has been taught how to cope, but not how to live a meaningful life. He begins to feel a sort of awakening burgeoning in him.” As a result, his medications start to malfunction and he is faced with a choice to retreat into the safety and comfort of the drugs, or a new life where he is fully alive and in control of his condition. “It is very much a story of the human spirit ris-

ing above the adversity of brain chemistry.” Hellenes mostly writes mostly fiction, and the challenge in every story is making it believable. Perhaps that’s why during the three days of writing, she took a trip out to Riverside and imagined Seth being there. Hellenes grew up on the Sunshine Coast and moved to Mission more than two years ago from Vancouver. Her interest in writing stories stemmed from her love of reading stories when she was a child. At age 16, she took to the craft seriously, and she had her first short story published in the Vancouver’s Arsenal Pulp Press anthology when she was in college. She’s been publishing stories since in various anthologies and magazines.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2010

Final film selected for Reel on the River series

OUR HEAVENLY TREASURES

Our moods sometime seem as fleeting as the wind; here one moment and gone the next. We can be in a good mood one minute only to find ourselves feeling sour or blue shortly thereafter. Fortunately, the bad moods usually pass just as quickly as they come. Some psychologists theorize that moods are related to our stockpile of resources, and that while our resources are growing, we tend to be in good moods, whereas dwindling resources can trigger bad moods. On this view, when our circle of friends is growing, our investments are making money, and the sun is shining on our crops, we tend to be in positive moods; but, when our friends leave us, our bank accounts dwindle, and the sun is nowhere to be seen, we are more likely to be in a bad mood. So what can we do to deliver us from our bad moods? Be productive. Do some housework, exercise, work on neglected or damaged relationships, and take stock of our material and spiritual resources. And perhaps most important of all, remember that our most valuable treasure is stored in heaven. So, don’t neglect your relationship with God. In the final accounting, our bank account won’t matter nearly as much as our relationship with God.

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth... But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven... For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. R.S.V. Matthew 6:19-21 St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church www.stpaulspc.ca

Reel on the River’s fifth feature film on March 15, Cooking with Stella, stars Don McKellar and Seema Biswas.

Reel on the River resumes this coming Monday with a British football drama called The Damned United. The critics say you don’t have to be a sports fan to love this film. The fifth film in the series on March 15 in an Indo-Canadian comedy set in New Delhi titled Cooking with Stella, and depicts a young Canadian diplomat’s family arriving in India to take up a new posting. The final film for the series will be a Canadian show called Shine of Rainbows on March 29. Set in a small village on wind-swept Corrie Island, just off the coast of Ireland, it is a heartwarming story of a young boy’s struggle to find acceptance in his new adoptive home. His journey to self-discovery proves there is a little magic in all of us if only we take the time to find it. Reel On The River is a local not-for-profit group committed to bringing, Canadian, foreign and independent films which might not normally be shown in Mission. All the films are open to the public and tickets at the door are $10. All screenings are on Mondays at SilverCity, Mission Junction, at 7:30 p.m. Films are provided by Film Circuit and the Toronto International Film Festival.
