Dewdney Elementary School will not close by the end of June, but it still eventually may. Mission Public Schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; board of trustees said Tuesday that the closure consideration process at the rural school, located about 10 minutes east of Mission, has been suspended. According to board chair Edie Heinrichs, it was due to inaccurate information presented to trustees. The board was informed by still unidentified members of the school and area community that people were comfortable with the idea of amalgamating Dewdney and Deroche schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been proven wrong,â&#x20AC;? said Heinrichs Tuesday. At the April 16 board meeting where the closure consideration motion was approved, trustees said they were approached with the idea to close. But parents and teachers in the audience balked at that statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our apologies for upsetting a whole community. We should have done our due diligence,â&#x20AC;? said Heinrichs. However, Dewdney, along with all other schools in the district, will still be part of a review in September requested by the Ministry of Education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ministry has instructed the board to engage the community in a district-wide consultation process regarding the potential closure of schools. The public process will identify the problems faced by the board and build the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understanding of the issues. Options to address and resolve concerns will be developed which could include identifying schools, including Dewdney, to be formally considered for closure,â&#x20AC;? read the board release.

HARRISON FESTIVAL SOCIETY FUNDRAISER

Randy Hawes is winding down his political career as the provincial election campaign ramps up. The current MLA for Abbotsford-Mission packed up his Victoria office last month and will be closing down his First Avenue facility at the end of May when he retires from public office after close to 20 years. Hawes was elected three times to represent his community on the provincial level and also served close to three terms as mayor prior. “I’ve not run out of ideas,” said Hawes on his departure from the political scene. “It seems I’ve run out of people in Victoria to listen to them.” Everyone has a “best before date,” added Hawes, but that’s only part of the reason why he’s leaving. “I haven’t been happy for quite some

to make it navigable and safe, and changing the way addiction services are run in B.C. “Government needs to fund residential care for those who want to get off [drugs and alcohol] on an abstinencebase,” the retiring MLA insisted. In addition to returning to school to become a mediator, Hawes says he will continue to volunteer and be involved in the community. “For me, retirement is not an option. I’m going to keep learning; it’s what life’s all about.” Hawes says it has been an honour serving people in Mission and Abbotsford, and offered some advice to his colleagues during his final sitting in the legislature. “Sometimes your conscience gets in the way of what your party wants. My advice is to follow your conscience, even if you get in trouble with your party.”

Carly Rae Jepsen cleaned up at the Juno Awards this past weekend, returning home with three trophies. The Mission singing sensation, dressed in a yellow gown and white shoes, picked up the top Canadian music awards Sunday night in Regina, Sask. for Album of the Year, Pop Album of the Year (Kiss) and Single of the Year (Call Me Maybe). The 27-year-old, who was nominated for five awards, thanked many people during her acceptance speech, especially her dad, who had accompanied her to the big event. Jepsen had beat out big names like Celine Dion and Justin Bieber, who gave her career a big boost, to win Album of the Year. “This is truly a dream come true for me, if I could only explain how I feel,” said the evening’s big winner, who was at a lost for words. Jepsen also graced the stage performing a medley of her catchy pop tunes which have propelled her to international stardom. The 2013 Juno Awards also saw acclaimed musician Leonard Cohen honoured with Songwriter of the Year and Artist of the Year. Other big winners from the event included Serena Ryder for Adult Alternative Album

period of time about what we’re doing.” Hawes says the Liberals, under Christy Clark, have Hawes been campaigning rather than governing for the last couple of years. “It’s extremely disappointing,” he noted. However, Hawes is hopeful the election will introduce new faces and ideas. Looking back, Hawes has had a hand in developing Mission over the past 20 years. Some of his notable accomplishments include developing the Junction Mall and bringing in the West Coast Express as mayor, to building the Cedar Valley Connector and expanding Highway 11 as MLA. However, there is unfinished business, which Hawes will continue to fight for, such as dredging the Fraser River

Council votes to pay for baskets

Two fatal accidents in two days Mission man comes to aid of injured driver BY MONISHA MARTINS Black Press

One man was killed and a second seriously injured in a head-on collision Monday in east Maple Ridge. The crash was the second fatal accident on Lougheed Highway in the span of 30 hours. It happened at 3:45 p.m. in the 24200 block of Lougheed Highway, east of 240 Street. Police believe the SUV, towing a “Wide Load” sign, crossed over the centre line from westbound lanes and slammed head-on into a pickup truck travelling east. The driver of the pickup, a 53-year-old Maple Ridge man, was seriously injured

and airlifted via helicopter to Royal Columbia Hospital in New Westminster. A 57-year-old man from Maple Ridge who was driving the SUV for Bob’s Pilot Service died on scene. His name is being withheld at this time. Neither vehicle had passengers. “Police are still trying to determine the cause as road and weather conditions were very good at the time of the crash,” said Sgt. Dale Somerville with Ridge Meadows RCMP. “Initial indications are the SUV crossed over into the path of the pickup. Neither speed or alcohol appear to be factors.” Darren Telford was heading to the dump in Maple Ridge from Mission four cars behind the SUV when he saw the pickup truck flip twice and slide into a ditch. As the drivers in front of him slammed on their brakes,

the 27-year-old drove across the lanes, stopping right near the upside down pickup. “I thought it was going to catch fire,” said Telford, who ran to the semi-conscious driver and initially tried to drag him out. “There was smoke but the truck was too crumpled to do that.” Telford brushed the glass off the man’s face and put his jacket under his head. “Keep breathing,” he said. “Don’t move. Sit still. You are going to get out of this.” The man’s face had deep cuts, though barely conscious he was struggling to get out of the seat. “I didn’t want him to choke on his own blood,” said Telford. “He couldn’t really talk. He was trying to squirm to get out. He didn’t know what he was doing.” Another driver sprayed the

pickup with a fire extinguisher while other witnesses tried to help the man in the SUV who was pinned behind the steering wheel. “I don’t know why I ran over but if that was me I would want someone to help,” said Telford who is very familiar with the hilly stretch of Lougheed Highway, where motorists often clock speed of over 100 kilometres an hour. Police thanked Telford for helping the injured driver, who remains seriously injured, but is expected to live. Meanwhile, police continue to investigate another collision that killed an 80-year-old man and injured two others the previous day. That crash took place around 9 a.m. Sunday and involved a Ford pickup and a Chevrolet car which were traveling west along Lougheed Hwy. Police said both vehicles veered left simultaneously

just east of 280 Street and rolled down a 20-metre steep embankment, just missing the CP Rail train tracks below. Mission resident Glen McInnes, 80, driving the car in front, was pronounced dead at the scene while his passenger — a 73-year-old woman — was taken to hospital with serious but non life-threatening injuries. The driver of the second vehicle — a 29-year-old from Port Coquitlam — was also hurt in the crash and taken to hospital with serious but nonlife threatening injuries. • Anyone who witnessed either collision is asked to call RCMP at 604-463-6251. To remain anonymous call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-2228477 or leave a tip online at solvecrime.ca. CrimeStoppers will pay a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

The District of Mission agreed to pick up an $8,000 tab to water the hanging baskets downtown this summer. The money will come out of the city’s stabilization reserve fund after most councillors objected to taking the funds out of the council contingency pocket. Only Coun. Jenny Stevens opposed the spending. She argued the Downtown Business Association (DBA), which will purchase the colourful hanging baskets, chose to hire an executive director last year instead of putting money aside to water the plants. The choice to have a coordinator or hanging baskets was made by them, said Stevens. “I resent the DBA effort to reintroduce the item after it was turned down for a fee for service.” The district is in the middle of developing a revitalization plan and Coun. Jeff Jewell asked where the DBA’s commitment is to beautifying downtown. “We need the participation of the business community,” he said. “They can’t spend their money and ask us to pick up the shortfall.” A non-profit organization, Longterm Inmates Now in the Community, will be hired to water the baskets for four months.

Russell sentenced to 12 years in prison BY VIKKI HOPES Black Press

A UN gangster was sentenced Friday to 12 years in prison after pleading guilty earlier this week to manslaughter in the death of Jonathan Barber of Langley and to conspiring to kill the Bacon brothers and their associates. Dan Russell, whom police have said was a high-ranking member of the UN Gang, was given almost

eight years’ credit for the time he has already served. Russell was among nine people charged in January 2011 with plotting to kill the Bacon brothers – Jonathan, Jarrod and Jamie – who were living in Abbotsford at the time of the conspiracy. During that period, the Abbotsford Police Department issued a public warning that anyone associating with the Bacons was putting their life at risk.

On Jan. 20, 2009, Jamie Bacon survived a brazen daytime shooting in the busy intersection of South Fraser Way and Sumas Way. Prior to that – in May 2008 – stereo installer Jonathan Barber, 23, was the innocent victim of a drive-by shooting that occurred in Burnaby. At the time, Barber was driving a Porsche Cayenne SUV owned by the Bacons to have a stereo system equipped.

His girlfriend, who was traveling behind him, was wounded when shots were also fired at her vehicle. Of the nine men charged in January 2011, six of them, in addition to Russell, were charged with Barber’s murder and the attempted murder of his girlfriend. Their charges are still before the courts. Two of the nine men – Conor D’Monte, described as the leader of the UN Gang at the time, and

Cory “Frankie” Vallee – were also charged with the murder of Kevin LeClair of Abbotsford. The pair have been at large ever since. LeClair died in a hail of gunfire while in his vehicle outside an IGA store in Walnut Grove in February 2009. Russell’s criminal history includes charges and/or convictions in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Maple Ridge, Mission and Vancouver.

OPINION

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

Responding to terrorism

The Boston Marathon bombing garnered a tremendous amount of public and media attention last week, largely because of where the attack occurred and the subsequent intense hunt for the two suspects. The activities in Boston have again focused attention on acts of terrorism, and it appears this was such an act. The older suspect, who was killed early Friday morning during a shootout with police, was an ethnic Chechnyan who had recently spent six months there. According to a number of reports, he had become more of a fundamentalist Muslim in recent years. His younger brother is the wounded suspect. On Monday, we learned that two suspects were plotting to blow up a Via Rail train in Eastern Canada. The plan was linked to al-Qaeda. How best do we as a society respond to this? The answer is not simply to bring in more and more laws. Restricting citizens’ rights actually lets the terrorists win. There are significant anti-terrorism laws in place, and they help police uncover many of these incidents before they take place. There is no question that they are necessary. In Boston, one of the most important tools allowing police to narrow the field of suspects was surveillance video from a nearby department store. Such surveillance cameras should not be a problem for people going about their business in a law-abiding way. More such video cameras in public places may be necessary. As citizens, we should be able to move about freely and not be subject to arrest for no reason. More surveillance videos may make that a reality, while inhibiting terrorists. - Langley Times

BC Liberals are running scared T hird in a series on party platforms. The BC Liberal Party deserves credit for releasing its policy book in full on the eve of the formal election campaign. That’s about the only positive thing to be said about it. For those who take the time to read party leader Christy Clark’s 40-page booklet, there are a few nuggets of news. For instance, a re-elected BC Liberal government would continue its justice reform agenda by moving traffic ticket disputes out of courtrooms, as they did with impaired driving cases. Most of it consists of glowing descriptions of the government’s 12-year record, and attacks on the NDP of the kind that are not normally seen in a platform. This is consistent with Clark’s style since she was anointed party leader two years ago. The main focus, as revealed in February’s throne speech, is a plan to pay off B.C.’s growing debt and perhaps even get rid of the provincial sales tax with an Alberta-style “prosperity

fund” from liquefied natural governments as well. She regas exports. peated the platform’s attack Whether this is from imline that the NDP are going posing a new export tax on to wreck the trillion-dollar LNG or simply from a wind- LNG boom with a Quebecfall of gas royalties is not style moratorium on “frackclear.

next one, at a time when it is unclear whether she can even hold her own seat in Vancouver-Point Grey. The BC Liberals will cut small business taxes by a point, some time in the next five years. They will also increase income tax on large businesses and personal income of more than $150,000, but that’s not mentioned in their platform, since it goes against 12 years of their policy as a government. • A clarification of last week’s column on the B.C. Conservative platform. Leader John Cummins informs me his plan to phase out the carbon tax does not include reversing the personal and business income tax rate reductions that were legislated as the fuel tax reached its current level. The platform asserts that total provincial revenues will continue to rise in the next four years, despite the uncompensated loss of $1 billion from the carbon tax.

Missionites needs to smile more often

One letter writer maintains that local residents are too gloomy and rude. METRO

Editor, The Record: I think residents of Mission could benefit from reading my two cents, even though it doesn’t apply to all. Unfortunately, it applies to too many. Mission: You’re rude! I grew up in Mission, so it took going away to another province and coming back after nine years to see it. Many of Mission’s residents are cold and unwelcoming to strangers. I have never thought of myself as Little Miss Suzy Sunshine. As far as that rhyme about girls goes: “Little girls are full of spice and everything nice,” I have always thought of myself as spicy rather than nice. So this discovery that I’m more smiley than the average Mission resident is quite

shocking. I smile at customers walking by my place of work and more often than not, they don’t smile back. I smile at people who are crossing my path because I’ve made eye contact with them (instead of doing what I see a lot of people doing: avoiding eye contact so as to not be forced to interact with another human being) and they look at me with a blank stare. Let’s just get this straight, Mission: A smile is a smile. It’s a courteous acknowledgment of your presence. It’s not flirting and it’s not a marriage proposal! A customer came to my place of work and I greeted her with a smile and she gave me two coupons for free video rentals. She told me she said to herself she was going to give these two coupons to the

first person who would smile at her that day. She said I was the first person who smiled at her that day. It was 5:45 p.m. I figure I have got just as much a reason to not be smiling as the next person whose life is not what they would like it to be. The bad economy is affecting us all. Yes, we are getting a lot of rain, but we should be used to that by now, shouldn’t we? We’re on the wet west coast! Smiles are free and are contagious; or at least they’re supposed to be. For those of you who do smile at strangers and get a blank stare in return, keep on doing it. Smile on, because we all need those smiles. Sioban Ethier Mission

Education can combat ageism Increased competition Editor, The Record: To combat ageism and resulting abuse, we all need to challenge the myths, especially the erroneous notions that seniors’ lives are less valuable, don’t deserve respect, they do not feel emotional pain, or are largely responsible for growing health care costs. Informed seniors can prevent negative stereotypes of aging and combat perceptions by younger generations viewing seniors as different. We need to create positive stereotypes of aging, in that older people are wise, caring and involved. Ageism often surfaces in discriminatory practices and services of all kinds, often where greater social value is given to people without impairments.

Often seniors are perceived as having outlived their usefulness, and lifelong contributions are overlooked. Ageism manifests in how visible seniors are in society and some seek to marginalize and make them feel unwelcome. Seniors may witness authorities not believing them, discounting them out of hand, not considering harm as serious or that seniors have unreliable memories. Rationalizing financial abuse or that older adults have less right to their money or property than younger family members perpetuates the negative attitude towards older people. Ageism thrives out of ignorance, thus education and challenging someone disparaging a senior, correcting inaccuracy and

to let them know comments are hurtful or offensive. As senior advocates we must create bridges to connect the life spans of all age groups. The District of Mission and notably municipal councils of the past, epitomize the governance and approaches that have been remiss to address seniors’ needs, including establishing a seniors’ activity centre. The Elder Citizen Action Coalition (ECAC) shares these observations in the hope the issue may be recognized, that unacceptable behaviour be changed, and that seniors are given due respect and benefits to enhance their lives. George F. Evens The Elder Citizen Action Coalition (ECAC)

Fear of offense leads to less interesting letters Editor, The Record: One of the last public areas for the exchange of ideas or comments is the letter to the editor sections of the newspapers. It’s the one area where people can state their ideas and reach others not normally in their own groups. Sometimes to enlighten or, as often is the case when I’ve written to the papers, it’s to provoke and in the process perhaps push people out of their comfort zone. Give me a chance to go after organized religion and I’m in Heaven (pun intended). But there is a chill in the air when it comes to the letter to the editor sections of papers. Politi-

cal correctness demands we don’t make honest comments and instead neuters the language allowed lest someone gets offended. We’ve become a totally shallow and selfish society that says it praises individuality but craves conformity. No wonder the letters to the editor sections have become an endangered species. I’ve zero interest in doing a blog, even assuming I knew how to start one which is not a safe assumption to make. Letters to the editors are upfront and personal. I wouldn’t want it any other way. Robert T. Rock Mission

needed in Canadian telecommunications Editor, The Record: I am utterly sick of the outrageous costs of cellular telephone coverage, data plans and pretty much everything else associated with the Canadian telecommunications industry. We are being gouged every which way. I get roaming charges on my phone when I am sitting in my own home. I get billed for long-distance calls within the city in which I live, because somehow or other my phone is domiciled in New Westminster even though I do not currently and never have lived there. The same services I get are almost

twice as expensive as they would be if I lived 10 miles south in Washington State. That is absurd. The attitudes displayed when I contact my provider are those of arrogance, condescension and greed. Customer service is very poor indeed, particularly if you are looking to get a less expensive plan. It is time to allow much more competition in the telecommunications arena and to abolish two- and three-year contracts. In fact, I honestly don’t think that the contracts should be required at all.

Stahl running for BC Cons The Mission Record will be interviewing each candidate who is running in the upcoming election. For more details, visit missioncityrecord. com/election.

BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

A lifelong outdoors enthusiast is hoping to trade his full-time employment in the bush for the halls of the B.C. Legislature building. Abbotsfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Don Stahl is running for the BC Conservative Party in the Abbotsford-Mission riding, but his current day job is that of a B.C. Conservation Officer, patrolling an area from Coquitlam to Boston Bar. He has been doing that work for 15 years after graduating from thencalled Malaspina College in Nanaimo with a diploma in environmental law enforcement. Stahl has been involved in provincial and federal politics for the better part of a decade. He was first introduced to that world 10 years ago when former MP Randy White asked him to help. Stahl joined the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon Electoral District Association for the Conservative Party of Canada, and sat three times as the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice-president. He has been serving as the president of the BC Conservativesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Abbotsford-Mission riding association for the past two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I decided I wanted to get more involved,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Top of mind for Stahl are crime and the threat of a garbage incinerator being built somewhere in the region, which he says would lead to increased pollution in the Stahl fragile Fraser Valley airshed. Stahl is critical of the BC Liberals for allowing Metro Vancouver to go ahead with the planning process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health at stake, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it should even be considered,â&#x20AC;? he said. The BC Conservatives are pledging $700 million over three years to hire more sheriffs and to re-open some of the previously shuttered B.C. courthouses. Included in that figure, said Stahl, is $4 million to hire 10 special prosecutors in Kelowna to combat gang crime and violence. The former MEI graduate also wants to make MLAs more accountable to the public, and to ban corporate and union political donations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[BC Conservative leader John] Cummins wants his MLAs to put the constituentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interests over the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s,â&#x20AC;? Stahl added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This would mean far more free votes.â&#x20AC;? Stahl can be reached via e-mail at stahl4mla@hotmail.com.

Election issue: Postsecondary education BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Parties in the May 14 B.C. election have highlighted their commitments to improve postsecondary skills training. The province faces a wave of baby boomer retirements, shortages in trades and industrial jobs, an increase in temporary foreign workers and under-employment of some university graduates. Trades and apprenticeship training is a major point of dispute. The B.C. Liberalcreated Industry Trade Authority has increased apprentices from 16,000 in 2001 to 34,000, but the NDP counters that percentage completion rates have declined. Independent Contrac-

tors and Businesses Association president Phil Hochstein argues that with many more young people in the apprenticeship system, the number of graduates is at a record level. Platform highlights: â&#x20AC;˘ The B.C. NDPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest commitment is $100 million for a postsecondary student grant program, to be funded by a capital tax on large

financial institutions. NDP leader Adrian Dix also promises $40 million new investment for skills training, to â&#x20AC;&#x153;increase apprenticeship training spaces, shorten completion times and improve completion rates.â&#x20AC;? The NDP notes that while the B.C. Liberal government touts its jobs plan in ads, its February budget proj-

ects a $42 million cut to the advanced education ministry over three years. â&#x20AC;˘ The B.C. Liberals highlight a $75 million commitment for upgrading training facilities and equipment, on top of the $500 million annual skills training budget. The B.C. Liberals emphasize plans to expand vocational training in high schools, and encourage partnerships between high schools and employers. Their platform also promises to develop â&#x20AC;&#x153;relevant training programsâ&#x20AC;? for B.C. residents to work in the LNG industry. â&#x20AC;˘ The B.C. Conservatives promise to â&#x20AC;&#x153;increase training and apprenticeships in the trades and technical sector,â&#x20AC;? but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t specify how. They also promise to increase on-line learning capabilities in colleges and technical institutes, and give qualified B.C. students priority for admission to the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s postsecondary institutions. â&#x20AC;˘ The B.C. Green Party promises to eliminate interest on student debt over five years, â&#x20AC;&#x153;immediatelyâ&#x20AC;? cut tuition by 20 per cent, create a grant program for low-income students, increase core funding for colleges and universities by $200 million and provide training for laid-off workers.

Election issue: child care and early education BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Child care policies offer a clear choice between the BC Liberals and the NDP in the May 14 provincial election. Premier Christy Clark wants to take a provincially funded savings account set up for each child born since 2007, and hand out $1,200 to parents who open a Registered Education Savings Plan to begin saving for post-secondary training. Former premier Gordon Campbell established the fund when the

B.C. government was enjoying budget surpluses, before the 2008 downturn in the world economy. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s added to the BC Liberal â&#x20AC;&#x153;early years strategyâ&#x20AC;? that includes full-day kindergarten, $142 million for child care subsidies, $34 million for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Success by Sixâ&#x20AC;? programs in 225 communities, and an additional $32 million promised over three years to help create new licensed child care spaces. NDP leader Adrian Dix has promised to cancel the RESP and other new

spending, and redirect it to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Family Bonus Program,â&#x20AC;? a direct subsidy of up to $70 per month, per child for low-income families starting in 2014. The NDP plan would pay the full amount to families with annual income of $25,000 or less, with payments decreasing on a sliding scale to families with income under $66,000. Applying to all children under 18, the bonus program is projected to cost $210 million a year. Platform highlights: â&#x20AC;˘ The B.C. Conservative pre-election plat-

form offers no specific programs for child care or early childhood education. Its September 2012 policy document supports â&#x20AC;&#x153;the principle that parents are the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first and most important teachers.â&#x20AC;? B.C. Conservatives also support a school voucher system, â&#x20AC;&#x153;ensuring that taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dollars follow the student

to provincially approved educational options,â&#x20AC;? and the principle that social services be â&#x20AC;&#x153;delivered by community-based organizations rather than directly by government.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ The B.C. Green platform promises to create â&#x20AC;&#x153;local child care trustsâ&#x20AC;? monitored by the provincial government. Promised services include

â&#x20AC;&#x153;child care, in-home support, emergency and crisis services, a guaranteed livable income and safe and adequate housing.â&#x20AC;? The B.C. Green platform offers no costing estimate for any of its programs. â&#x20AC;˘ The B.C. Liberals would require school districts to promote use of school property by li-

censed child care providers from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, and create a province-wide child care registry. â&#x20AC;˘ The B.C. NDP would immediately double earnings exemption for employable income assistance recipients, and allow a further exemption for child maintenance payments.

Property sellers using loophole to dodge transfer tax BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Critics say a growing number of businesses or wealthy individuals are exploiting a loophole to avoid paying B.C.’s tax on property transactions while average home buyers are stuck footing the bill. The Property Transfer Tax consists of one per cent charged on the first $200,000 in property value and two per cent after that – adding up to an extra $10,000 in tax when a $600,000 Metro Vancouver home changes hands.

But businesses in particular are making growing use of what’s called a “bare trust” corporation to hold ownership of a property. The trust can be transferred to a new buyer without any change in the land title owner and no PTT is triggered as a result. “The loophole is big enough to drive trucks through,” Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) B.C. director Jordan Bateman said. “Accountants are all over it, especially corporate ones. It’s becoming standard

tax practice and that tells you people are taking advantage of it.” On a big commercial or industrial property sale, the savings can be significant and Bateman guesses the provincial government may be losing out on $15 to $25 million a year it should be collecting. Exactly how much is being lost to the loophole is hard to determine. Data obtained by the CTF through Freedom of Information show business and industry made up a declining share of the taxable transactions

and PTT collected from 2006-11. By 2011, residential properties made up 80 per cent of the $927 million in PTT collected – up from less than 70 per cent in 2006. Just 291 industrial property transactions were taxable in 2011 (down from 1,041 in 2006) and resulted in PTT payments of $9.7 million, or one per cent of the total. Business property sales totalled 2,334 (down from 4,276 five years earlier) and contributed $67.1 million, or

7.2 per cent. Residential transactions also dropped after the 2008 recession and Bateman said they should outnumber the other categories. But he said the residential share still looks “awfully high” to him. It’s not impossible for residential property owners to use bare trusts, but Bateman thinks it’s rare. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said in a statement the province is aware bare trusts can be used to dodge the PTT. “While it has not yet been determined that a

remedy is required, it may be challenging to design a remedy that doesn’t have other, unintended consequences,” de Jong said. NDP finance critic

Bruce Ralston said he’s aware of the manoeuvre but isn’t sure how prevalent it is. He said the NDP has no plans to attempt to plug the loophole.

Just like engine oil, coolant and transmission fluid, brake fluid “wears” over time. Not only does brake fluid wear, but the internal brake components also wear, producing “slude”.

Not only did I want to participate, but I wanted by grandchildren to participate, and in so doing, develop an appreciation for what they take for granted each day, and a sense of responsibility for sharing it with those less fortunate.â&#x20AC;?

Local actor goes to Wonderland on ACT stage BY MONISHA MARTINS Black Press

With a waddle and wiggle, Tweedledum and Tweedledee switch spots and end up tangled. They’ve soon forgotten a tiff they had about a rattle, made peace and decided not to battle. “They are always confused with their names and don’t know who they are,” says Aden Born, agreeing the twin brothers from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Won-

derland are down-right silly. “We think very highly of manner,” adds Connor Buzza, who plays Tweedledum to Born’s Tweedledee. “But we don’t have the best manners.” Cast as the troublesome twins in eXtreme Theatre’s musical production, Born and Buzza are trying to stay in step. They are mimicking each other’s movements to a tee. “We are practically identical,” says Born with a laugh.

The first-time thespians have memorized their lines and learned their dance steps but admit they are slightly anxious about being on a big stage. “We both think we are song and scene ready,” says Buzza, who lives in Mission. “The nerves maybe the hardest part.” Featuring two casts of 35 home-schooled students from across Metro Vancouver, Alice in Wonderland is a fast-paced stage adaptation of the Lewis

FV Royals capture AA championship title

The Fraser Valley Royals won the Mainland International Hockey Championship. SUBMITTED PHOTO

The 2000 Fraser Valley Royals have won the AA division of the Mainland International Hockey Championship in Coquitlam this past weekend. They went a perfect 6-0 through the competition and defeated the Edgy Islanders of Victoria 4-2 to take home the championship. The Royals were down on the scoreboard 2-1 heading into the third period but a huge tying goal from Abbotsford’s Jake Enns evened the game at two. Minutes later Mission’s

Sign up the kids for soccer Soccer registration gets underway this week, with the first opportunity happening last night. Sign up your kids today (April 25) between 6 and 8:30 p.m. and Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Mission Leisure Centre. There will be volunteers on hand to help walk you through the registration process. Fees for U8 to U18 will remain the same as last year, and players signed up who were born 2007 and earlier will pay less. The Mission Soccer Club is also hosting its annual general meeting Thursday, May 29 at the Leisure Centre starting at 7 p.m. New board members are needed this year, so this is your chance to get involved.

Sean Sidhu got the eventual game winner when he wired home a slap shot to put the Royals up 3-2. Enns sealed the victory with his second goal of the game, 4-2. The 2000 Royals top three point getters were Abbotsford’s Brett Bass with nine goals three assists, Mission’s Hayden Vetterals, five goals, five assists, Maple Ridge’s Jacob Mainhout, four goals, three assists. The Royals are coached by Troy Stordy, Scott Penman, Jeff Penman and Ken McPhalen.

The 2000 Fraser Valley Royals Black, coached by Colin Rissanen, came home with a silver medal after losing a close game to the Vancouver Spartans in BC Cup Final at the Mainland Tournament. The 1999 Fraser Valley Royals were the top AA program in the Mainland finishing fourth behind three top AAA programs (West Coast Warriors, Vancouver Venom and BC Outlaws) in the 1999 AAA/AA division. They had solid victories over the Abbotsford AAA Jr

Heat, Vancouver Island Monarchs and only suffered losses to the West Coast Warriors. The Fraser Valley Royals team are comprised of kids from Aldergrove, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission and Maple Ridge, Langley and Surrey. They are a non-profit development program that strives on excellence. The Fraser Valley Royals are hosting the 2000 AA Royal Cup April 26-28 at Chilliwack Prospera Place.

the list. All proposed sites would be made public by the end of this year ahead of public consultations to gauge community support. Host sites don’t necessarily have to be within Metro Vancouver. Sites further away, such as on Vancouver Island, would have one advantage: defusing opposition from Fraser Valley residents who fear more air pollution wafting their way. And there could be sites in the Fraser Valley itself – one of the proponents is named Chilliwack Bioenergy Group and owned by local businessmen there. But other factors will also be in play, according to Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, vice-chair of Metro’s zero waste committee. Undeveloped greenfield sites or others where intensive redevelopment is expected – such as Surrey’s City Centre – may better harness steam heat or electricity generated by the plant for a district energy system supplying nearby buildings. “There are some benefits that can go to a community as a result of that,” Corrigan said. “Also it encourages development in areas where you might not have been able to encourage development before, because they’ve got this source of energy.” He said a city could parlay a waste-to-energy plant into success in several ways. If it proposes a site in the midst of a larger area of industrial land it already owns, the city can later sell off its surrounding land at a profit to industries or other buildings that spring up around it, also pocketing development fees and a permanent jump in its property tax base. Since any site proponent can put whatever conditions they want on it, the city could also insist it get electricity or heat from the Metro incinerator at wholesale rates and then use the offer of discount power – lower than BC Hydro’s prices – as a carrot to draw developers to the precinct. Besides being a powerful economic development lever, the resulting district energy enclave may also be trumpeted as cutting greenhouse See P3 Page 23

gases. “It’s a really good green badge for cities,” Corrigan said, adding a new incinerator could power the equivalent of 15,000 homes with garbage that would otherwise be landfilled. “Obviously this isn’t going to be as clean as burning natural gas or getting hydro from a dam. It wouldn’t be your fuel of choice. But the idea is you create energy from the garbage because youre stuck with the garbage.” Cities and First Nations can both directly propose their own property and the Tsawwassen First Nation has had talks with Aquilini Renewable Energy – one of the proponents – about hosting the plant on TFN treaty land. Covanta Energy, which runs the existing Burnaby incinerator, is also behind a proposal to burn Metro waste at a former pulp mill at Gold River, on the west side of Vancouver Island. It was also suggested at Metro’s waste management committee Thursday that New Westminster – which has its own electrical utility – could be a good fit. Delta may also surface as a site when the final list is unveiled – Lehigh Cement, which runs the cement plant on River Road, is another proponent. Metro intends to pick a site by 2015, which would later be paired with a winning proponent that would have the new waste-fired plant built by 2018. Corrigan acknowledges concerns that strategies to reduce or recycle more waste may falter because because the incinerator must be fed. But he said the expected capacity of the plant – 370,000 tonnes per year – has already been scaled back and he doubts the region’s waste stream can be cut enough to render a new plant redundant. Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt said he thought it “crazy” that municipalities might be paid money by Metro for options on their own sites. Metro officials say potential land needs to be secured, but a municipality could waive payment for the option and that could improve its site’s position on the

short list. Metro won’t share ownership Metro directors also decided the new plant or plants – if more than one

is built – will be owned by Metro, ruling out P3 private ownership or a Metro-municipal partnership. Corrigan said that

helps simplify what is already a highly complex procurement process. A private firm could not have borrowed the

$500 million that will likely be needed at the low interest rates the regional district gets, he added. But private partners

will still play key roles building the plant and supplying technology and expertise. Corrigan also cautioned other Metro di-

rectors against talking to proponents or their lobbyists as the regional district begins assessing the merits of bidders and their technologies.

The BC Games relies on volunteers in every facet of its operation. • Volunteers ensure that citizens come together in a community celebration of pride and enthusiasm, that athletes have a quality multi-sport experience that will assist them as they continue through their development, and that coaches and officials gain experience and opportunities that will further develop sport in our province. Simply put, volunteers are essential to the BC Games. • President Brian Antonson and a team of 16 volunteers make up the Board of Directors while close to 125 others have taken on key positions forming committees to plan and stage the Games. Volunteer sign up takes place Saturday, April 27 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Mission Leisure Centre.

Thank you to our Board of Directors, Committee Members, Member Ambassadors & Visitor Centre Volunteers. Get involved at the Visitor Information Centre Come hang out with Stan Call 604-826-6914

Donating time for beautification The volunteer-driven Mission Adopt-A-Block Society hosted three Earth Day themed events this past weekend, including a clean-up near its offices on Mershon Street. On Monday, society coordinator Kristin Parsons met with this Beavers group at Rolley Lake to tidy up around the popular park. And on Tuesday, 24 Grade 1 and 2 ESR Elementary School students removed a large amount of litter from the creek behind the school.

Cleaning water mains District staff will be cleaning water mains beginning April 15, 2013 for approximately five weeks in the following areas generally described as: •West Heights area, south of Seventh Avenue • Gill Avenue Industrial Park • Flats area from CPR tracks to Harbour Avenue • Hatzic area from

Lougheed Hwy to McEwen Avenue • Shook Road, Moore Ave., McKenzie St., Benbow St. These areas represent about 20 per cent of the entire water system. Work will start at 10 p.m. each evening, beginning Mondays and will be completed by 5 a.m. each morning, ending on Fridays. Each night an area of

approximately five city blocks will be cleaned. The process will create extremely discoloured and debris-laden water as the water main side walls are scoured to remove any accumulated debris. It is extremely important that water users DO NOT use any water including hot/ cold water taps, toilets, etc. during the cleaning process.

District staff will be delivering a notice to the affected areas which will provide more detailed information about the program and scheduling, to your mailbox, mail slot or front door on the morning of the work proceeding through your neighbourhood. If you have any questions, please call the Public Works department at 604820-3767 or access the District of Mission website, www.mission. ca, beginning April 15, 2013 for the scheduling information.

While many people assume that organic matter, such as grass clippings, does not pose an environmental hazard, grass is high in nitrogen and can negatively affect water quality, and consequently fish habitat. Apparently insignificant ditches often discharge into storm sewers, which feed fish-bearing streams, so grass clippings should never be dumped near surface waters or in greenbelts and parks, where they can create odour nuisances. By far the best way to deal with grass clippings is to leave them on the lawn. It does not take a special mower to practice “grasscycling,” but simply a proper cover on the bagger outlet. Most lawnmowers come with both a bagger and a cover. Done properly, grasscycling does not cause thatch. Grass should be mowed regularly and to no less than See 5 cm in length. PLACE Page 29

Send street light requests to public works dept Budget limitation determines the number of new streetlights that may be added to the existing roadway system each year. The current budgeting allows for the addition of 15 new streetlights this year (excluding new developments). The additional streetlights are restricted to locations where an existing BC Hydro Power Pole exists due to funding limitations. In rural areas streetlights are generally limited to intersections, curves and cul-de-sacs, again because of funding limitations. Installation of a streetlight can be controversial because while some people want

them, others find the additional light intrusive; therefore all requests for new streetlights should be accompanied with a petition from the area residents supporting the installation. Streetlight requests are processed twice a year in November and April to better prioritize the various requests. To request a streetlight you may deliver, mail, fax or email your request with the supporting petition to: District of Mission, Public Works, Attention: Operations Manager, 33835 Dewdney Trunk Road, PO Box 20, Mission B.C. V2V 4L9. Fax 604-826-8633; or email mdunham@ mission.ca.

Place yard waste in bins with orange sticker From MANAGE Page 28

Practising this will result in short clippings which decay within two days and return nutrients and organic matter on the spot. It will also save you a lot of time and effort. If you do not want to leave your grass clippings on the lawn, please note that the curbside collection system includes the collection of yard waste, including grass clippings and other small yard debris. The most economical way to set out yard waste is to place it loosely in 80-litre bins featuring an orange sticker. Placing some crumpled up newspaper at the bottom of the bin helps to soak up liquids and prevents the grass from sticking. You may place as many bins as necessary, as long as they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exceed 20 kg in weight each. Orange stickers are available at City Hall and the Leisure Centre free of charge.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s barbecue season! Please remember that bones, bread, cooked leftovers and paper towels can be included in your Rot Pot. Just ensure that all materials are placed in the Rot Pot promptly to avoid odours and maggots. Separating your food waste from garbage helps to keep over 2,000 tonnes of compostable materials out of the landfill per year and reduces the amount of greenhouse gases that are changing our climate. In May of 2012, 364 tonnes of compost were collected at the curb, representing a 52 per cent increase over May 2011 and an 86 per cent increase over May 2010. Please note that food waste is collected in the same collection vehicle as is yard waste. If you prefer, you may include your food waste in your regular yard waste bin, together with grass clippings and other yard debris, provided your yard waste bin features an orange sticker, a tight-fitting lid and does not exceed 80 litres in capacity and 20 kilograms in weight. If you are no longer using your Rot Pot because you are using your yard waste bin instead, please return your empty and rinsed Rot Pot to the Engineering Department at City Hall, send an e-mail to engineering@mission.ca or call 604820-3795 to request pickup. Please remember that it is important to store all waste materials, including food waste, yard waste, recyclables and garbage inside a secure building or enclosure until the morning of collection day so that it does not attract bears to your neighbourhood.

Care for your cats and kittens The District of Mission and the Fraser Valley Humane Society encourages cat owners to spay or neuter your cats. There are benefits to the pet owner for having this procedure performed on their pets. These benefits include the pet having, for the most part, a longer and healthier life; improved behaviour and more responsiveness to their human family; increased safety as spayed and neutered pets are less likely to want to roam the streets and become injured or lost in search of a mate; no unwanted kittens; less tendency of the spayed or neutered pet to â&#x20AC;&#x153;markâ&#x20AC;? or damage household furnishings, and a marked decrease in many medical problems such as mammary cancers and uterine infections which are fairly common in unaltered cats. For females, having them spayed will prevent them from going through any more heat cycles. Unspayed females normally come into heat several times a year, and these cycles can last from several days to several weeks, and include such behaviours as spraying of urine, marking with urine, howling, and some other obnoxious behaviours. Neutering a male before he reaches puberty almost always completely prevents the development of all mating behaviour, which includes spraying urine and marking territory with urine, and the desire to roam outside searching for a mate. This in itself puts the cat at great risk of injury or even death from being hit by cars; being the object of human cruelty; infection and disease from other cats; death from natural predators,

and cat fighting. The District of Mission Dog Licensing and Animal Control and Impounding Bylaw 1782-1988 requires all cats over the age of

five months, running at large, be spayed or neutered. As well, the bylaw requires that no person shall own, possess or harbour a cat that is apparently

over the age of five months without it having a veterinarian identification tattoo, or an identification microchip implant. For more information

on adopting a cat or kitten from the Fraser Valley Humane Society please call 604820-2977. They are located at 33103 North Railway Avenue.

Be considerate and pick up after your dog in parks Reasons to Pick Up Dog waste contaminates the ground and becomes a means of passing intestinal parasites

NOTICE OF ROAD CLOSURE

and infections to dogs and people. Your own dog can be repeatedly reinfested by parasites in this way. Picking up the feces prevents a great deal of the contamination. Cleanup can reduce veterinary expenses. Because of contamination as well as smell and mess, dog waste is highly offensive to many people in the community. It often becomes a reason to ban dogs from areas. Of course the dogs can't clean up after themselves, so this is a people problem rather than a dog problem. It's easy to enact "no dogs allowed" rules, and then the people who clean up suffer right along with the ones who don't. Neighbourhood disputes over dog waste can escalate into real misery. In some localities it is illegal to allow your dog to relieve on someone else's property unless you have that person's permission. The very existence of such laws is an indication of how seriously people take the cleanup issue.

Ways and means

www.mission.ca

Various tools are available for picking up dog waste. Some people use a shovel, and may bury the waste in their yards. Scooper tools can make the job easier. These are usually lighter in weight than a shovel and more customized for the

pickup task. You can tote along a bucket or bag to save steps. A simple plastic bag slipped over your hand like a glove makes an efficient and completely clean pickup tool. A latex glove is also useful. A wide variety of bags will work, making this one way to recycle. Simply pick up the feces, turn the bag inside out to enclose it, tie the top, and deposit it in a legal container. This system works well on outings as well as at home. Several of the parks in your community already supply these bags for free. Look for them and use them. If bending is difficult for you, a long-handled scooper tool may be your better choice. Some of these are designed to work with disposable bags. There are quite a few different tools designed for picking up your dog waste. Picking up is just part of having a dog. If everyone would do it, there would be far fewer objections to dogs living and traveling in human communities. Be proud to be seen picking up dog waste. It may seem silly at first, but people who see you do this will know any mess left behind is not from your dog. Picking up shows pride in your community, in yourself, and in your dog. You set a great example for others, and you help create a brighter future for dogs and their people.

MISSION SENIORS A monthly guide to events, resources and services for Mission Seniors

Healthy heart tips for all weather Find ways to stay active throughout the year

he weather and temperature outdoors can have a large impact on energy levels and motivation to exercise. Warm, sunny weather can beckon one outdoors, while cold or rainy weather could keep one hibernating inside‚ which is not good for the spirit or the body, including cardiovascular health. Staying active when the weather seems to be pitted against you can be challenging. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

If it’s cold outdoors or if there’s residual snow, sledding or skiing remain fun ways to burn calories. All of these activities count as moderate to vigorous exercise, which is recommended daily for most people.

Walking briskly around a mall is good exercise and you can window shop in the process. Lift heavy items around the house in place of dumbbells. Doing regular household chores with more vigor

• Workout indoor. This doesn’t necessarily mean heading to the nearest gym. It’s possible to get recommended exercise at home or at another location.

is another way to get blood flowing and your heart pumping. • Eat right. Eating the right foods to maintain a healthy weight goes a long way toward protecting the heart. Be sure to eat breakfast every day, and choose fruits and vegetables as snacks over sweet and salty items. Canned varieties are See PAGE 34

April 2013

Introducing Mission Seniors Living 55 Plus Seniors are a vital part of our community and as their numbers grow, it is important for them to stay healthy and active. This new section is dedicated to these cherished citizens, whom we hope to motivate and keep active, stimulating their minds and exercising their bodies. Mission Seniors Living 55 Plus will be published on the last Thursday of every month. In this inaugural issue, we will introduce six organizations for seniors that have helped launch this new section. The profiles are listed on pages 2 and 3. We welcome story submissions and photos from events and your daily lives. Submissions can be e-mailed to Gordon Dainard at gdainard333@ gmail.com.

• Head outdoors. Instead of the regular workouts you do, consider something that makes the most of the weather outdoors. If it’s hot outside, try walking by the seaside where the ocean mist can keep you cool, or having your feet in the laps of water reaching the sand. Don a raincoat and take a brisk walk around the neighbourhood.

• Dress appropriately. Weather is often unpredictable. Dress in layers so you can remove or add clothing as needed to remain comfortable. Children and older adults are more susceptible to the effects of cold weather. According to Jersey Shore University Medical Centre, when temperatures are low, your heart works harder to keep the body warm. Dressing warmly can help avoid taxing the heart. The same caution applies when the temperature is extremely warm. It’s easy for the elderly to overheat and become dehydrated. Dress in light clothing and remember to drink plenty of water.

Travelling in comfort Many styles of compression stockings available by Chrystal Robinson

MISSION HURD PHARMACY

pring is a time to get out and about, get active and travel. More seniors are travelling by car, bus or plane than ever and travel-related leg discomfort is on the rise. During travel, blood circulation within the leg is reduced while your movement is constrained. Lack of movement can cause many symptoms such as heavy fatigued legs, pain and discomfort, varicose or spider veins and swollen feet or ankles. Prolonged sitting is also a risk factor for developing a blood clot which may result in pulmonary embolism. Graduated compression therapy is the application of external pressure to the limb via a stocking

to reduce venous pressure within the limb. Wearing a compression sock will support your vein, increase circulation, reduce swelling and alleviate the tired achy feeling of legs. These are not the stockings your grandma used to wear. They are available in all colours of the rainbow and fashionable fabrics. There are even sports styles for athletes and dress socks for men. Along with the application of compression stockings, here are a few tips for long distance travel: • Keep your feet moving. Foot exercises make the calf muscles work and help to pump blood back up to the heart. Point and flex your toes. Walk the aisle in a plane. In a car make regular rest stops to stretch your legs.

SWARD, George With heavy hearts we announce the peaceful passing of George Sward on April 10, 2013. Born in Abbotsford to a Matsqui pioneering family on May 3, 1934, George was raised in Matsqui and later lived in Oregon, California, Hope and Mission. George often regaled family and friends with stories of growing up on Matsqui prairie, watching the war planes fly overhead as a youth, seeing snow drifts up to the phone lines and of watching the family farm in Hatzic float away in the flood of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;48. George was a hunter, fisherman, gardener, outdoorsman, heavy duty mechanic and, most importantly, a husband and a father. He lived a long and happy life surrounded by good friends, remarkable experiences and great stories. He never shied away from hard work and spent much of his life working on projects that included the Coquihalla Highway, the Wolverine Tunnel and the Carmen Smith Tunnel in Oregon. He was a wealth of information about family genealogy, Matsqui history and anything to do with airplanes, engines or WWII. George is survived by his wife of 58 years, Phyllis, sons Joe (Gaynor) and Tim (Kris), and grandchildren Max, Winston, Peter, Timmy, Tristin and Sierra. Also left to mourn are his brothers Don (Judy) and Wayne (Estella) as well as a large extended family and a huge collection of cherished friends. A celebration of life will be held at the Ridgedale Rod and Gun Club (35655 Harris Road, Abbotsford) on Saturday, May 25th, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. Messages of condolence can also be sent to remembergeorge@sward.pw In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to the MS Society of Canada or to the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre.
