Mission parents have been kept up-to-date, says Trask BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Public school teachers voted 73 per cent in favour on Friday of withdrawing extracurricular activities province-wide to intensify pressure on the provincial government in the continuing labour dispute. The vote of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) could affect everything from high school graduation ceremonies to upcoming sports events. Mission teachers had already pulled back from undertaking any new extra-curricular activities shortly after spring break, joining a handful of other teachers’ unions across the province. Meanwhile, a decision of B.C.’s Labour Relations Board has ordered unionized teachers to prepare second-term report cards immediately, something some had resisted as part of job action. The ruling gives teachers until April 27 to

have them ready. Locally, Mission Teachers’ Union president Mike Trask said they have been talking to the school board about report cards for several weeks already, and parents will be provided with a synopsis of their children’s progress. “It’s worked smoothly for us,” he said. Mission teachers have been “keeping parents up-to-date” throughout the job action, Trask continued, and noted that the report cards will still carry letter grades, but the paragraph section “might look different. “We always advised teachers to keep [students’] information current,” given the job action will eventually end, said Trask. If a child were at risk of failing a course, an incomplete form would have been sent to the parents, as per normal See BCTF Page 3

BCTF vote will divide teachers, punish students: Abbott From REPORT Page 1

practice, he said. Public school teachers walked out for three days in March before the provincial government passed Bill 22, legislating them back to work with a six-month cooling off period. A total of 21,625 teachers voted to ban volunteer work,

while 7,846 voted no. BCTF president Susan Lambert said cancelling extracurricular activities was a wrenching choice. “Teachers struggle with this because these activities bring so much joy to our engagement with students,” she said. “We know this will mean the loss of some highly valued activities, and we sincerely regret that. But we have to

look at the bigger picture and the longer term.” The decision is expected to pit teachers who still want to coach teams and run student clubs in defiance of the BCTF decision against more militant teachers who will be able to ask their union locals to take disciplinary action. Education Minister George Abbott told reporters the

BCTF vote to ban extracurricular activities will divide teachers, punish students and leave parents overseeing functions like grad ceremonies. “It’s their personal decision,” Abbott said. “And I don’t believe it’s appropriate for the BCTF to be trying to interfere in that.” Abbott also defended his choice of a mediator in the

dispute, Dr. Charles Jago, who the BCTF alleges is biased. If talks with the BCTF fail to reach a mediated settlement, the government would likely legislate a two-year contract, ending June 30, 2013. Abbott said he can’t guarantee that the dispute won’t disrupt the start of the school year next fall. The action plan approved

by the BCTF membership also calls for a public awareness campaign to mobilize public opposition to Bill 22, a possible future vote on a full withdrawal of services and work in advance of the May 2013 election “to bring in a new government” that will repeal the legislation. - with files from Jason Roessle

Miriam Dickson said two Abbotsford males out on the water called in what they found, and after meeting Mounties at the Mission boat launch, took the members out to the site of the discovery. The body was loaded onto the boat and the vessel moored at the dock until the B.C. Coroner’s Service arrived. Following an autopsy, RCMP say no foul play is suspected.

OPINION

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

Teachers take gamble B.C. teachers are taking a big gamble by pulling out of sports and other extra-curricular activities. While the intended target of their campaign is the provincial government — which they want to withdraw Bill 22, the document enforcing mediation and new class size and composition rules — what teachers are more likely to experience is strained relationships and a drop in public support. Teachers, who have enjoyed strong parent support in their last two contract disputes, say they must take this action because the legal right to strike has been taken away from them. But few students and parents in the weeks ahead will be able to equate the loss or complication of planned school activities with larger issues the teachers seek to address. If they wish to keep the public on their side, B.C. teachers will need a deft communications strategy to explain why collective bargaining principles are more important than an end-of-year field trip or tournament — or grad. What’s more, many, if not all, of these events will go ahead anyway, especially in the wealthier neighbourhoods, leaving teachers with less clout and fewer relationships on which to build strong bonds. With parents and other members of the community picking up the slack, teachers will be left out of the loop and out of the action; their students will go on with their lives, winning ribbons and scholarships and other acknowledgements without the teachers who helped them earn these achievements. All this heartache would be worth it if there was some tangible pay-off in the end. But the public education system has never been perfect and teachers will be hard-pressed to explain how punishing kids is punishing the government. - Tri-City News

Imagining an NDP government N DP victories in two byelections bring the standings in the legislature to 46 B.C. Liberals, 36 NDP and three independents, one of whom has pledged allegiance to the B.C. Conservatives. B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins put a brave face on his third-place finish in Port Moody-Coquitlam and Chilliwack-Hope. Even in bedrock conservative Fraser Valley farm country, in a protest byelection with a high-profile candidate, the B.C. Conservatives managed to attract just enough to deliver a landmark NDP seat. Cummins said his party’s goal going into the Port Moody-Coquitlam vote, with an unknown candidate and a handful of volunteers, was to break 10 per cent. They got 15 per cent and he declared a moral victory. Cummins rejected a possible merger with the “discredited” B.C. Liberals. Premier Christy Clark was equally emphatic that she will be the leader of the “free enterprise coalition” in the 2013 election. So the stage is set for an NDP majority government.

Such a team brings impressive experience, but unfortunately for taxpayers, much of that experience has been in extracting money from the public treasury. And if recent B.C. history is any guide, this fundamental conflict of interest will receive little or no media attention in the months to come. Instead, the conventional wisdom will be that voters want “change.” • Correction: Last week’s column referred to the 1971 Greenpeace campaign against atmospheric nuclear testing. That protest boat was directed at a U.S. nuclear test off Alaska, not a Soviet test as stated. Subsequent Greenpeace protests targeted the Soviet slaughter of grey whales, and the last atmospheric nuclear tests, conducted by France in the South Pacific.

YOUR VIEWS Thanks for the peace of mind Editor, The Record: I park my car at the West Coast Express parking lot every week day. A couple of weeks ago, two not-so-gentlemen broke into the car. A passerby saw what was happening and called the RCMP. I want to thank the RCMP who responded immediately to the call and stopped the two in the middle of ransacking and potentially stealing my vehicle. I will always be especially grateful to the driver of the Mission street sweeping unit who didn’t just call the RCMP when he saw men going through the inside of my vehicle, but also stopped to put back into my car everything the thieves had tossed onto the pavement. He also took the time to relock my vehicle. As I work in Vancouver, it was a great relief to know that all would be safe and intact until I got back to Mission that evening. To everyone who helped, thank you so very much. M. E. Killick Mission

WATCH BATTERY

An individual’s interests affect facts interpretation Editor, The Record: Re: Festival to be held between hay crops, April 19 edition. In his rebuke of S. Barker’s letter of April 12, MLA Randy Hawes asks the question, “Why is it that so often facts get twisted to reinforce a point of view?” The interpretation of so-called “facts” are almost always filtered to lesser or greater degree by an individual’s interests or values. It would appear in this instance that the decision of the ALC on March 17, 2011 to, “Refuse as proposed on the grounds that the festival

will reduce the agricultural capability of the property,” fits Ms. Barker’s values-based opinions regarding non-agricultural use of ALR property, while MLA Hawes values and interests seem to run opposite. Unfortunately, extreme assertions that there would be “absolutely no interruption in the agricultural use” (Hawes), or that the festival would be “destroying good farmland” (Barker) merely contribute to the polarization of the issue and benefit no one. Readers should also know that

contrary to MLA Hawes’ understanding that “...the owner cleaned it up and planted hay in anticipation of an approval for the festival,” the land in question was enhanced for agriculture by a former owner early in 2009 as “an act of good faith” (Whipple) in support of reducing net-loss of agricultural land anticipated through the ALR exclusion application for 31380 Lougheed Hwy. which came before council and the ALC in that year.

GRANITE CLUB ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Monday, May 14th, 2012 - 7:30 P.M. Mission Curling Club Lounge MISSION LEISURE CENTRE

BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

A $75,000 provincial grant recently awarded to the District of Mission for its 120th anniversary celebration has taken the community by surprise, since it appears nobody applied for the money. The funds arrived in the form of a letter dated March 13 from the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, Ida Chong, congratulating Mission on its 120th anniversary and stipulating celebration details be provided by May 16. But nobody in local

government had applied for the grant, said Mission’s deputy administrative officer Paul Gipps. As it turns out, Mission has qualified as one of several communities eligible for part of $800,000 in funding announced March 22 by Chong for B.C. communities celebrating a 25th, 50th, 100th, 120th or 150th anniversary. Gipps said the municipality did not question how or why the money was awarded, but decided not to spend it all on the event. “The choice to put it into something that goes beyond just the one day or the one year celebration is far more important,” he said, adding the province’s letter did not state how the money had to be spent. Of the $75,000, the district has planned to allocate $35,000 to the Clarke Theatre for equipment upgrades, $30,000

to arts and culture grants which will be awarded in September after an application process, and $10,000 for the actual Sept. 29 120th community celebration. Nancy Arcand, executive director for the Mission Arts Council (MAC), said although money should go directly through the B.C. Arts Council (BCAC), she’s pleased the district is taking the initiative to disburse them to non-profits or arts and culture. “The arts has been chopped and slashed and brutalized over the last three or four years and you often wonder if these are little carrots,” she said, before stressing the arts community is nevertheless grateful. Spencer Chandra Herbert, the NDP critic for arts and culture, questioned Chong about the issue in the legislature on Tuesday. “It was a surprise to

The Mission Granite Curling Club

me because for months [Chong] has been saying there’s more applications for arts money than there is money, yet here we have a case where there was no application and the minister sent money,” said Herbert, who has also been asking Chong for details of the remainder of the $10 million Sports and Arts Legacy Fund from 2010. The province awarded $6.75 million to the BCAC from that fund, but much of the remainder has been a mystery until recently, when Herbert said the province was scrambling to spend the leftover $3 million before the end of the fiscal year. Herbert says there is still $2.4 million that has been allocated without public disclosure. When he called the ministry and asked how they decided to disburse some of the funds, Herbert said he was told ministry staff went through communities’ incorporation dates and decided if they met certain milestone years that they would receive funding.

communications director of the B.C. Alliance for Arts and Culture, said he is reserving opinion until they discuss the matter with other arts organizations, but it raises longterm questions about funding. “There’s no grant application process, there’s no transparency in the decision-making, and there’s no arms-length administration. It’s all just done right, seemingly, off the minister’s desk,” he said. Although requests for comment from Chong went unanswered, a government press release states her ministry met its commitment of $16.8 million in funding to the BCAC in 2011-12 and that a complete list of funded projects will be available in the Public Accounts records of the legislature in early July. “After meeting those commitments, the ministry was given access to approximately $3 million remaining to support arts and culture projects that are not generally funded by BCAC,” the release reads.

A Greenwood Drive home in a rural part of Mission was destroyed Monday morning by fire. Local firefighters were called out around 7:15 a.m. after the renter called the owner and said the house was on fire. When emergency personnel arrived, no one was home and the building was fully engulfed with flames, said Mission Chief Ian Fitzpatrick. All three stations were paged out and 30 firefighters responded to the fire, which has been deemed suspicious, and the file now rests with Mission RCMP, he said.

Flood risks on the Fraser There’s a higher risk of flooding on the lower Fraser River this year because of heavierthan-usual snowpacks across central and northern B.C. that have been slow to melt due to a cold spring. All the major tributary basins that feed the Fraser have above average snowpacks, and the entire watershed holds 31 per cent more snow than usual, according to the latest readings from B.C.’s River Forecast Centre. “That is about the fifth or sixth highest reading we’ve seen for the Fraser for this time of year,” said centre head Dave Campbell. He said this is the second straight year of a La Nina weather pattern, which tends to cause cool and wet weather in late winter and spring, bolstering snowpacks. Some parts of the watershed are actually at record snow levels – the Nechako is 65 per cent above normal and the upper Fraser basin is 52 per cent higher than usual. Those two basins supply a third of the flow that comes to the lower Fraser Valley. Whether high water actually threatens to top Fraser River dikes will depend heavily on spring weather patterns in May and June and how quickly all that snow upcountry melts and flows downstream. Campbell said a worst case scenario would be continued cool weather for several weeks followed by a heat wave, especially if heavy rains are added to the mix.

Leadership series wraps Saturday The skid row to CEO speaker Joe Roberts will wrap up the Mission Community Leadership series this Saturday at the Best Western. Managing change is the workshop focus, and Roberts is an inspirational example of overcoming adversity. Turning his life around from drug addiction, homelessness and poverty, he is now an outstanding college graduate, successful CEO and soughtafter motivational speaker. He has been recognized by MacLean’s Magazine as one of “10 Canadians who have made a difference” and won the BC Courage to Comeback

Award among numerous other accolades. Roberts continues to lead by example. His next challenge is The Push for Change (www.pushforchange.com). He is building a team to push a shopping cart across Canada as a symbol of courage and possibility for troubled and homeless youth in Canada. The morning of the final session in the community leadership series kicks off with facilitator Cathryn LeCorre leading a workshop, “Transformation in Change: Fostering Accountability in Times of Change.” It is designed to shift the participant’s perspec-

tive of change and to see new possibilities for leadership in the community. LeCorre has been an internal people development consultant at Fraser Health since 2007, and counts the District of Mission, University and United Nations as other clients. The managing change session runs from 9:30 a.m. to noon, and Roberts takes the stage at 11 a.m. Space is still available, and admission is $20. For more information contact Building Community Leadership chair Michelle Favero at manager@ missionchamber.bc.ca.

A $500 donation from the Mission Community Foundation will help enhance Youth Unlimited’s (YU) volunteer training program, which in turn, will help the local organization put on better performances through the Jesters Theatre group. Last fall, students in Grades 3-12 raised more than $3,000 through the YU production of The Dream Fairies, and donated it to the Mission Christmas Shoe Box campaign (www.samaritanspurse.ca), coordinated by Susan Larocque and Youth Unlimited’s Youth and Parent Adventure Re-

treats, (www.AdventureRetreats.ca) hosted by Dave and Sharon Wiebe. This success rallied students to write a new play for 2012 entitled “While You Were Sleeping” which will be performed Dec. 1. The foundation has also granted $1,400 towards helping YU replace its community van. This vehicle is used to drive youth for various programs and trips and is shared with many other groups. For more information about the foundation and Jesters Theatre visit www.missioncommunityfoundation.org or www.jesters.ca.

B.C.’s labour minister is defending changes to the workplace regulation that required employers to provide a secure barrier for night-shift employees who work alone. Changes took effect last Sunday that allow another option for operators of gas stations, convenience stores and other 24-hour businesses. Rather than have a security barrier or more than one employee present, the regulation allows employers to put in video surveillance and a call button for employees. The original regulation is known as Grant’s law, after Maple Ridge gas station employee Grant De Patie, who was run over and killed in 2005 when he tried to stop a driver from leaving without paying for gasoline. Labour Minister Margaret MacDiarmid said Monday the main provision of Grant’s law is

mandatory pre-payment for gasoline, and that remains. WorkSafeBC offered the new option after four years of consultation, she said. “With a small familyrun business that may be open late at night, it’s often somebody from the family who is working there,” MacDiarmid said. “If they’re forced to put in a barrier that may cost upward of $50,000 or more, the business is going to fold. So they were listened to, and those other safety measures will be taken. WorkSafeBC is going to be auditing starting in May as I understand it.” NDP labour critic Raj Chouhan objected to the government’s claim that there have been no more incidents since the regulation went into effect in 2005. Video surveillance does not provide immediate protection for people working alone at night, and there have been close calls, he said.

More than 255 cases of whooping cough have now been confirmed in the Fraser Health region since an outbreak began in December, with 11 instances reported in Mission. Health officials say 45 new cases have been detected since the beginning of March, although the actual numbers of people being infected is likely much higher. Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Paul Van Buynder is continuing to urge adults to get a free vaccination against

the pertussis (whooping cough) bacteria, to reduce the spread of the highly contagious infection to young children, who are most vulnerable. More than 30,000 vaccine doses have been distributed, he said, but added it appears the disease is still circulating. The outbreak started in the eastern Fraser Valley but recent cases have been reported in almost all communities in the Fraser Health region. For more info see www.fraserhealth.ca/ whoopingcough.

Cedar Valley Manor is selling quickly and it is easy to see why. The Mission Association for Seniors Housing (MASH) has a new project on the go. After successfully developing and operating The Cedars, MASH is now developing Cedar Valley Manor, a life lease for independent seniors. Cedar Valley Manor has been purposely designed for seniors in Mission who want to downsize but who are also looking for a warm and supportive community where life is simple. As Judith Ray, the President of MASH says: “Residents can live maintenance free at Cedar Valley Manor. Here they will be able to carry on living in the community they love without having to worry about the yard, snow removal, and the upkeep of their house. And as a Life Lease,” she continues “Mission seniors will have their financial interests secured and looked after as well.” Many people have been wondering about the “Life Lease” model used at Cedar Valley Manor, and as explained by Kate Mancer, Director of Cedar Valley Manor: “Life Lease is a form of tenure perfectly suited to seniors. It allows them

to securely use the equity built up after years of home ownership and provides a wonderful sense of community.” In a Life Lease the resident pays an upfront cost, or “entrance fee,” which is used to pay for the construction of the building, plus a monthly fee which includes general building upkeep and replacement reserves. Taxes are extra but life lease residents qualify for the Homeowner Grant. When people move out, they get 95% of their money back— with no worries about the real estate market and estate planning is so simple. Life lease residents don’t have to worry about management concerns, or being part of a strata council—all of that is looked after by a trusted community-based non-profit organization. Residents know their interests are being looked after by a group whose sole purpose is to provide good quality affordable housing for the seniors of Mission. The MASH mission statement sums it all up perfectly: “Caring for Those Who Cared for Us.”

The office of the Governor General of Canada is now accepting nominations for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, which pays tribute to Canada’s sovereign Queen Elizabeth II and her 60 years on the throne of England. The commemorative medal was created to mark the anniversary as well as honour significant contributions and achievements made by Canadians. As many as 60,000 people will be recognized with the medal between now and next February. Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission MP Randy Kamp said that constituents are invited to submit nominations by going to www.randykamp.com and clicking the Diamond Jubilee icon. This will lead to an online registration

form that can be sent to Kamp’s office. “Thirty medals have been allocated for me to present and I look forward to recognizing exemplary Canadians who dedicate their time and efforts to bettering the lives of those around them, and making Canada stronger,” he said in a statement. Nominations for the medal are open until December 2012. Approval of nominees by the Chancellery of Honours takes about two to four weeks, and once approved the Royal Canadian Mint sends a medal and information package to the recipient. You can find more information on the medal, including the eligibility criteria, by logging on to the Governor General website: www.gg.ca.

AND IMPLEMENT COMMON RATES On April 11, 2012, the FortisBC Energy Utilities applied to the British Columbia Utilities Commission to amalgamate their natural gas utilities across the province and to implement common rates and services across their service areas starting January 1, 2014. Currently, FortisBC Energy Utilities is made up of three separate natural gas companies, operating in six service areas. The companies have their own services, service agreements (tariffs) and rates. If approved, the application would combine the three companies into one, under a single tariff, with common rates for the various regions. This Application has different implications for customers in each service area. If approved, customers in the Vancouver Island and Whistler service areas will see rate decreases, while customers in the Lower Mainland, Columbia, Inland, and Fort Nelson service areas will see an overall rate increase. PUBLIC REVIEW PROCESS The Commission is initiating a review of FortisBC Energy Utilities’ Application. To view the timetable for this hearing and the Application go to www.bcuc.com select “Current Applications” under “Quick Links” and scroll to “FEU Common Rates, Amalgamation and Rate Design.” HOW TO GET INVOLVED If you wish to participate actively in the review process, you may register as an Intervener or an Interested Party with the Commission Secretary in writing, using the contact information at the end of this notice.

18 The Mission Record Thursday, April 26, 2012

Archives seeking song recording from 1987 The Mission Community Archives is looking for a song recording from 1987. The local organization is currently working on an exhibit to mark the

25th anniversary of the Rick Hansen Man In Motion Tour, which will feature photographs from The Mission City Record and photographer, Noel Hall from 1987.

On May 21, 1987, Mission gave Rick a hero’s welcome at a reception held at the Leisure Centre. The program included the performance of a song by students at Cedar Valley El-

ementary School, written by teacher Curtis Beaumont. The archives wants a recording of this song. This week in our photo feature column on the archives website (www.

missionarchives.com), Glimpses of the Past, there is an image of the students performing the song. If you or anyone you know has a recording, call 604 820-2621.

Arts and culture grant Mission set for Rick Hansen relay applications now open The District of Mission will be celebrating its 120th Anniversary this year and the Province of British Columbia has provided $75,000 to directly support the arts and culture

component of the celebration, set for Sept. 29. A portion of the funds have been allocated for community organizations to help celebrate Mission’s

arts and culture. Grant applications must be submitted by May 24, 2012 at 4:30 p.m. and are available at the Leisure Centre’s front desk, www. mission.ca, or from municipal hall.

The District is gearing up to celebrate the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay which will be coming through Mission on Wednesday, May 16. The Relay began on Aug. 24, 2011 in Newfoundland and is retracing the Canadian segment of the original Man in Motion Tour, but this time one

man in motion is represented and celebrated by many in motion; engaging 7000 participants from across Canada to who have made a difference in the lives of others. They each have the honor of carrying a special medal made by the Canadian Mint to honour and celebrate Rick’s accomplishments and

vision. Earlier this year Council selected local resident Doug Pearson to be Mission’s official medal bearer for the event. Doug, nominated by the Mission Senior’s Centre Association, has given back to the community through volunteering with numerous sports, recreation and agricultural

Further, Doug suffered a spinal cord injury several years ago playing hockey and through his rehabilitation allowed his progress to be monitored and tracked by the doctors at GF Strong hospital. Doug will carry the medal into the local celebrations which will take place at the Leisure Centre North Arena starting at noon. Over 20 other medal bearers have also been selected to participate in the Mission segment of the Relay through online submissions hosted by the national organizing committee. The local celebrations at the Leisure Centre will include lunch by donation to the Rick Hansen Foundation, historical displays of the original Man in Motion Tour, a wheelchair skills obstacle course, musical entertainment, displays, trivia contest and activities for kids.

The bears are out and about It’s around this time of year again that bears are coming out of hibernation and leaving their dens. They’ve fasted all winter and are now on the lookout for a quick meal. Unfortunately, for the last two years, Mission has seen an increased occurrence of bears looking for food in residential areas, because often, they find it in people’s garbage or compost. Once they find a meal, they will be back for seconds, and they will teach their cubs what they know. Bears are only doing what comes naturally to them. It is up to us to keep them in the wild and not lure them into our backyard. It’s the bears that are ultimately paying the price. Last year, seven bears were shot by provincial conservation officers, because they were perceived as a threat – almost all of them in our more highly populated areas. Bears are attracted by smells. If it smells like food to them, they

will investigate. Bears are most attracted by garbage, compost, bird seed, pet food and ripening fruit. Even pop bottles that haven’t been rinsed or empty pizza boxes can attract a hungry bear. We all can help by storing all garbage, compost and recyclables inside, removing bird feeders from April to November, feeding pets inside and promptly picking ripe fruit out of our gardens. Please also remember that garbage, recyclables and compost should never be placed at the curb the night before collection, but must be out on the morning of collection day by 8 a.m. For more information, visit www.bearaware. bc.ca or call the District’s Engineering Department at 604820-3736. To report an aggressive bear, please call the Conservation Officer Service at 1-877-952-7277.

Garbage must be out by 8 am Please ensure you have all garbage, recyclables and compost at the curb by 8:00 a.m. on collection day, so that they are accessible for pickup whenever the designated vehicle is servicing your area. Collection times may change without notice. Materials set out after the collection vehicle has passed will result in the material being missed. In the interest of all of Mission’s taxpayers, the curbside collection contractor will not be required to return to collect any late materials. Please note that the requirement to set out collection materials by 8:00 a.m. is anchored in the District’s bylaws. Should you have any questions about the bylaw requirements, please call the Engineering Department at 604-820-3736. Thank you for your cooperation!

ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT SPRINGCLEANUP CLEANUP 2012 SPRING 2012

Spring cleanup week is scheduled for May 7th through May 11th on residents’ regular collection day. Regular refuse, recycling and compost preparation procedures apply. CURBSIDE COLLECTION OF ADDITIONAL MATERIALS In the curbside collection area, residents may place additional materials at the curb on their regular collection day, as follows: • Additional materials are limited to 2 cubic meters per household (1 cubic metre = 6 bags of refuse, or 1 stove or 1 armchair). This limit will be strictly enforced. Refuse above the limit will be left at the curbside to remain the resident’s responsibility. • All additional materials must be manageable by two people. • Prohibited materials for curbside collection are: o televisions and electronics (free drop off at Mission Recycling Depot) o refrigerators, freezers and propane tanks (free drop off at Mission Landfill); o construction and demolition/renovation wastes, including gyproc, flooring materials, wood debris, fencing & roofing, bricks, rocks, toilets etc.; o automotive parts including tires, batteries or other vehicle-related parts;* o hazardous materials, including toxic, flammable, corrosive and petroleum products, paint, pesticides, used oil and antifreeze;* o bio-hazardous materials, including needles and animal wastes. Please help out collection crews and prevent litter by not placing loose materials that may blow away, and cleaning up incidental debris and “leftovers” promptly.

MISSION LANDFILL DROP-OFF (YEAR ROUND, SOME ITEMS FREE) • Please note that due to increased environmental costs at the Mission Landfill (Minnie’s Pit), there is no more free dumping of household waste during spring cleanup week, and the landfill will be open during regular hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.). • Recyclable materials, such as blue-bag recyclables, scrap metal, appliances, electronics, yard waste, clean lumber, batteries, paint, gypsum board, used oil and filters, are now banned from disposal, but can be dropped off at designated facilities for recycling. For a complete list of banned materials and facilities, please consult your curbside collection calendar, phone 604-820-3736 or visit www.mission.ca. Please sort your loads to avoid surcharges. • Appliances, including fridges and freezers, and scrap metal, car batteries and propane tanks are accepted free of charge year round. • To prevent litter, loads must be secured. A $10 surcharge now applies to unsecured loads.

MISSION RECYCLING DEPOT FREE DROP-OFF (YEAR ROUND, ALL FREE) The Mission Recycling Depot, located at 7229 Mershon Street, is open seven days a week from 8:30 to 4:30 and will accept the following materials at no charge year round: • Any recyclables accepted in the blue-bag program; • Electronics and electrical items, limited to: o televisions o desktop and laptop computers, monitors, printers & fax machines o mice, keyboards & cables o small appliances, such as toasters, hair dryers etc. • Scrap metal, including empty propane tanks, barbeques, metal fencing, metal siding etc. • Most metal appliances (NO fridges or freezers here, please, due to the need for freon removal. Take these to the landfill for recycling); • Car batteries, household batteries and chargers • Leftover paint, spray paint and empty paint cans; • Specific household hazardous products (check www.productcare.org or phone 604-850-3551 for details).

*For additional recycling options, including details on this year’s HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE DAY (Saturday, May 12th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.) at the Mission Recycling Depot, please consult your curbside collection calendar, visit www.mission.ca or call the Engineering Department at 604-820-3736.

Smoke alarms needed in 33-year-old buildings In 2010 the B.C. Fire Code was amended to state that all residential buildings must be equipped with a smoke alarm. The regulations include residences constructed prior to 1979, which had previously been exempt. This includes private residences, hotels, motels and other buildings that provide sleeping accommodations. Battery operated smoke alarms are comparatively inexpensive and easy to install, but Mission Fire Chief Ian Fitzpatrick firefighters still find buildings where they are absent. “A lot of the older places don’t have them,” he said. The law which was amended in 2010, targeted 800,000 properties across the province that were build prior to 1979. Landlords must make sure their rental properties comply with the law. Tenants are asked to contact their landlord immediately if they do not have smoke alarms, or if they are

not in working order. New homes are built with smoke alarms that connect to the electrical system. Fitzpatrick said firefighters have seen numerous scenarios where a smoke alarm saved a property from burning down, or even saved someone’s life, and they are an easy way to improve fire safety. How to stay protected • Install smoke alarms according to manufacturer’s specifications. • Develop a fire escape plan and practice it with the

entire household, so when the smoke alarms sounds everyone knows how to escape safely. • Test your smoke alarms monthly and change the batteries every year. • Never remove the batteries from a smoke alarm. • If nuisance alarms are a problem, try moving the alarm to another location, or purchase an alarm with a hush feature, which temporarily silences the alarm. • Smoke alarms don’t last forever. Replace them if they are more than 10 years old.

A smoke alarm is your first line of defence against fire. METRO

Be sure to stay away from these dumped materials The purpose of the proposed amendment is to create a CD zone to accommodate the subsequent subdivision of the subject property into twenty-one (21) urban residentialcompact single family lots, each lot with a coach house and one (1) lot for a 38-unit townhouse site. Copies of the proposed bylaws and reports relevant to these bylaws may be inspected at the Municipal Hall, 8645 Stave Lake Street, Mission, BC, Monday to Friday, excluding statutory holidays, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., from April 26, 2012 to May 7, 2012. The information is also available on our website at www.mission.ca by searching “upcoming public hearing”. For further information regarding any of these bylaws, please contact the Planning Department at (604) 820-3748. At the Public Hearing, persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by these proposed bylaws will have the opportunity to be heard. If you are unable to attend, you may send a written submission, including your name and address, to the attention of Paul Gipps, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer or email info@mission.ca by 4:00 p.m. on the date of the Public Hearing. All submissions will form part of the record of the Hearing. Please note that no further information or submissions can be considered by Council after the conclusion of the Public Hearing. Immediately following the Public Hearing portion of the meeting, council may consider moving bylaws forward for additional readings. Paul Gipps DEPUTY CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER Dated at Mission, BC this 23rd day of April, 2012.

Spring is here and you may find yourself out for a stroll around the neighbourhood, or maybe down some country roads. On occasion, you will find that someone has used the area to dump household wastes, construction materials, diapers and other items. While these types of finds are unpleasant, generally upsetting and obviously not resulting from any level of community consciousness, there are some materials that should send you heading in the opposite direction immediately. Coming across generic 20-litre pails with lids, 45-gallon

drums, together with black garbage bags or other plastic containers can be of serious concern, as they often contain the by-products of illicit drug manufacture, and most of these substances are highly toxic. Do not investigate dumps of this nature. Do not touch, kick, move or open any of the containers, but call the Fire Department at 604-820-3793 or 604-820-3794 at your earliest convenience. Report the exact location of the dumped materials, approximately how many pails, drums and bags you found, whether the materials were dumped in or

near a creek, whether you observed any staining or odours, and whether there are other people in the area who may become exposed to the materials. If you feel that someone or the environment is in imminent danger or may have been exposed, call 911. Please report illegal dumps of regular, non-hazardous waste materials to the District’s Public Works Department at 604-820-3761, so cleanup can be arranged. For further info, contact the District’s Engineering Department at 604820-3795.

MSS students’ garden to feed those in need BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

A Mission secondary student’s idea for a community garden has sprouted into more than just a few vegetables in the plots on the northeastern hill behind the school. Grade 9 student Tye Petty first became inspired to be active in his community when he attended “We Day” in Vancouver two years ago. This annual youth empowerment event held in cities across Canada encourages kids to become involved in the leadership organization. Last June, Tye decided he wanted to go to California for the Me to We “Take Action Academy,” a week-long, social justice-themed summer camp. Tye’s mother Karen said she let her then-13year-old son go to California by himself, a vote of confidence in his maturity and ambitions. Tye returned to Mission determined to start a Me to We club at MSS and the community garden project was born. “I basically asked my friends and they said all right, we’ll help,” says Tye matter-of-factly while shrugging off credit. “Everybody contributed to it. Ideas kept rolling in.” Tye was helped by his younger brother Chris, as well as Angela, Claiyton, Derian, and other students. They were originally

planning to plant the garden on the south-facing hillside behind the school, but it was too steep. So it was moved to overlook the football field with two plots of vegetables planted in early April. The students also received community help. Rona donated $250 and lumber materials for the planter boxes, while the MSS parent advisory committee donated $100 for seeds, and Davies Sand and Gravel donated soil and delivered it to the site. Tye said he’s proud that when the radishes, onions, lettuce, and other fresh produce is fully grown, the students will deliver it to the New Heights Street Hope Ministries on North Railway Avenue, which provides food six days a week from 8 to 10 a.m. to approximately 70 needy people. Karen said vegetables should be a welcome culinary addition, since many food services programs dole out non-perishable food items. Tye has plans beyond vegetables, too. “We had the idea of putting flowers in it for a fundraiser. So building maybe a flower box growing tulips and stuff like that and then having a flower sale,” he said, with proceeds going to a similar charitable cause. Karen said initiatives like this are important not only for the kids, but for the community, add-

Plant fundraiser to help furry friends The annual Green Thumb plant sale fundraiser happens over the first and second weekends in May, with event proceeds helping animal charities. The sale takes place at 32965 Fourth Ave., and features a huge selection of plants, including hanging baskets for only $25, on May 5-6, and 12-13. The money will go towards helping the Fraser Valley Humane Society, the only cat shelter in Mission; S.A.I.N.T.S rescue (Senior Animals In Need Today Society), which provides new homes for senior animals; and Elizabeth’s Wildlife Centre. For more information, call 604-826-3290 or e-mail Julie and Moneca at junmo@shaw.ca.

MSS tells a Winter’s Tale in May Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale, a timeless story of the tortures of love, will be performed by Mission secondary’s drama department in the first and second week of May. The story takes us on King Leontes of Sicilia’s (played by Alex McCall) emotional journey of suspicion, anger, jealousy, remorse and finally, reconciliation and true mature love. Like all Shakespeare plays, it brings much comic relief to the stage in the pastoral scenes between rustics and thieves as well as magic and faith in the miracle of unconditional love. Renowned for the most famous Shakespearean stage direction, ‘exit pursued by a bear,’ this play, one of his comedies and a later piece, is a composite of many familiar themes tried and true. In modern terms and currently, it touches on the inequities in society bent on self serving shortsightedness, and the imbalance of power. “I see now is the time that the unjust man doth thrive.” Not to be missed, it offers something for everyone. MSS’s Shakespearean production of The Winter’s Tale’ goes up May 3-5 and 10-12 this year in the school’s studio theatre at the northwest end. Tickets are available by calling the school for reservations at 604-816-7191 or at the door contingent upon availability. The play starts at 7 p.m. (doors at 6:30).

What’s Happening Odd in Mission

DEVELOPING A LOVING RELATIONSHIP The Bible tells us that “God is Love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him” and that “We love Him because He first loved us” (1 John 4:16, 19). These verses are true not only between our Heavenly Father and us, but also when we are involved with others. Children will develop a love for their parents because of the unselfish love their parents have for them. Also, a wife or husband will develop a stronger love for each other when their love is returned to them. When someone dislikes us or offends us, it is a natural instinct to distance ourselves from them; however, when someone is loving and kind to us, we have a tendency to want to draw closer to them. God’s perfect love for mankind is exemplified by His giving of His only begotten Son to die for our sins. And, just as His forgiving love is always extended to us, we should also be forgiving of others. True forgiveness breeds love, and discovering the good in others, and discounting their faults, are essential for developing a loving relationship.

Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. R.S.V. Proverbs 6:6

Couple opens Friday Florence is upset. Her marriage is on the rocks. “Is there a Doctor in the building?” “Sure. He’s an Optometrist. If she goes blind, I’ll call him,” fires back Olive Madison, the sloppy half of Neil Simon’s Odd Couple (Female Version) opening this Friday (April 27) at Mission’s Opening Nite Theatre. “It’s a treat to find a well-written play like Odd Couple, filled with snappy one-liners and so much comic characterization,” says Kathy Yewell, the play’s director. Like the original, Odd Couple (Female Version) is about a divorced sports writer slob and a newly separated stay-at-home neat-freak who share an apartment to cut down on expenses. Their personalities soon clash big-time with uproariously funny results. The play runs April 27 through May 13 (Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.) at Opening Nite Theatre 33223 N. Railway Avenue in Mission, across from the West Coast Express Station. Tickets are $12.00 and can be purchased at Murdoch’s Book Shoppe 33078 First Avenue Mission or at the Theatre.

Serenata concert on Saturday Celebrate spring with Serenata at their annual Spring concert “Singing Beauty” on Saturday, April 28 at St. Andrew’s United Church (7756 Grand St., Mission). This year Serenata sings some of the most wonderful music ever written for women’s voices in just about every style imaginable – gospel, jazz, chant, classical, baroque just to name a few. Tickets are reasonably priced ($12, $10 and $6) and available at Murdoch’s Bookshoppe, and at the door. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. For more information please call 604-556-1391.

HPV vaccine offered to B.C. women Women born from 1991 to 1993 are being offered the human papilloma vaccine to protect them from cervical cancer. The one-time HPV vaccination program starts in mid-April and will be available in a series of three doses over

six months. It will be provided by pharmacists, doctors, and various sexual health and youth clinics. Girls born in 1994 and later have been offered the vaccine through school-based programs.

“We recommended this one-time program so that we could protect more young women from cancer and provide coverage for those who missed the school program,” said Dr. Monika Naus of the B.C. Centre for Disease Control.

Other women who want the vaccine but aren’t eligible under the program can still consult a doctor or pharmacist about buying the vaccine. For more information see www.immunizebc.ca.

$1M given to support health food program Health Minister Michael de Jong and Agriculture Minister Don McRae were among the dignitaries at the Windset Farms greenhouse on Abbotsford’s Downes Road recently for a government funding announcement. Joined by the kindergarden class from Prince Charles Elementary, with each student wearing a paper crown featuring a variety of fruits and vegetables, they announced an additional $1 million to support the BC School Fruit and Vegetable Nutritional Program. The funding is an addition to the $3-million expansion announced in May 2011, for the program that provides fresh produce for school children. With the additional funds another 75 schools will join the program by September, and a further 75 are expected by January 2013. This will bring the total number of participating schools to 1,484. Funds are used to purchases fridges, stock salad bars and to increase children’s access to fresh, local fruit in other ways. “By increasing knowledge and consumption of locally grown produce, this program helps develop healthy eating habits that will benefit the health of our youngest citizens in the long term,” said de Jong, who is also the MLA for Abbotsford West, in a press release. The program takes the produce from 817 growers across the province, and gets it into the diet of B.C. school kids with 6.3 million servings per year.
