Anti-HST campaign coming to Mission Former premier coming to Mission May 11 BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

The anti-HST fight is arriving in Mission this weekend. The proposed Harmonized Sales Tax spawned the Fight HST campaign, led by former premier Bill Vander Zalm, which has been rolling through the province for the past few weeks. Fight HST’s organizer for the southwest coast Fraser Valley, Ben Besler, said the group’s efforts are showing promise, evidenced by being more than 50 per cent over the 300,000 signature goal. “People are signing up to canvass every day,” he said Tuesday. “We’re doing what they said couldn’t be done in three

months in three weeks.” Besler said being this close to getting a minimum of 10 per cent of eligible voters to sign an anti-HST petition has prompted campaign organizers to change tactics. “We don’t want to stop at just 10 per cent. We don’t want the Liberals to say you just have 10 per cent in favour.” When asked why the group opposes the tax, Besler said it could be “argued that it’s nonconstitutional. “But it’s common sense. It’s bad for business, the economy and the consumer,” he said, adding to bring in something negative when the global economy is still in a precarious position is a poor idea. The population is angry, he added. “This initiative will change the landscape of politics in B.C. for-

See page three for petition signing locations ever. People are now getting off their couches,” he continued. “People have said, ‘We’ve given, we’ve given’ and what are we seeing back.” Besler noted he’s confronted more anger when in the initial stages of the campaign registered canvassers went knocking door-to-door: anger the petition hadn’t arrived sooner. This caused campaign leaders to shift to central signing locations instead of going to each home. Abbotsford-Mission MLA Randy Hawes said he isn’t surprised by the popularity of the Fight HST message because the anti-tax group has See EMBEDDED Page 3

Embedded PST eliminated: Hawes From ANTI-HST Page 1

“horribly” misrepresented the tax and is fear-mongering. Claims by the anti-HST group, such as that home heating and prices ggas will climb, are w ffalse, he said. ““These are all eexempt.” Hawes said tthis tax will Hawes eeliminate the “embedded PST” found in many products across several industries and that B.C. implementing HST follows more than 130 countries with this already in place.

“that can mean the difference between mills closing” or remaining open. “We’re competing against the world,” he said. The MLA offered his belief the HST would “drive down cost of products” as “pretty much every business will pay less” given they can claim the HST back. “Every leading economist in Canada has said this is the right thing to do.” Hawes has heard calls for the HST from accountants and the forest industry during his time touring the province as part of the select standing committee on finance. He refutes the suggestion the tax will hurt anyone. “I think they’re completely wrong. “The Maritimes have been on a value-added tax for some time. You don’t see them going bankrupt.”

HST campaign tops threshold in 20 ridings Organizers confident with nine weeks to go ARTICLES

BY JEFF

NAGEL

Black Press

Canvassers aiming to defeat the Harmonized Sales Tax now say they’ve gathered more than 175,000 signatures and are well on their way to victory. Fight HST campaign organizer Chris Delaney said Monday 20 constituencies have more than the required 10 per cent of registered voters signed up. Seven of those ridings are at 15 per cent or more, he said. “This is a phenomenal achievement in only two weeks of steady campaign-

ing for signatures,” Delaney said. Delta North, Langley, Fort Langley-Aldergrove, Abbotsford South and ChilliwackHope are among the districts with more than 3,000 signatures. Eight more in the North or Interior and four on Vancouver Island also have at least that many. The 90-day citizens’ initiative campaign needs to get the signatures of 10 per cent of registered voters in all 85 constituencies for Elections BC to declare it successful. That’s expected to translate into between 3,000 and 4,500 signatures in most urban ridings. Delaney said the signatures collected to date amount to 48 per cent of the total that will be required with nine weeks — or three quarters of the allotted time — still

to come before the July 5 deadline. He said organizers are getting strong numbers across B.C. The campaign wants a sizable buffer in each district to offset signatures that may be ruled invalid. “We will keep going until we reach the 15 per cent threshold we have set for ourselves in every riding, or until Premier Gordon Campbell cries ‘uncle’ and agrees to withdraw the HST, whichever comes first,” said expremier Bill Vander Zalm, who heads the campaign. One of the challenges is eSuccess does not ensure the HST will be repealed. The right number of signatures would only force the provincial government to introduce – but not necessarily pass – legislation dismantling the tax or else face a referendum

Open late

for all your

on the issue. Ottawa would also be required to cooperate. Vander Zalm’s strategy includes targeting various government MLAs for recall campaigns if they refuse to dismantle the HST. He predicts people power will force the Liberals to back down or be obliterated. At least half of NDP MLAs have joined as canvassers, but anger over the HST crosses political lines. The new 12 per cent tax replaces the seven per cent provincial sales tax and five per cent federal GST effective July 1. It’s expected to benefit most industries, but raise the cost of many previously PSTexempt products and services by seven per cent. The campaign has a list of active sign-up locations posted at www.fighthst.com.

HST may drive rents higher, say landlords The harmonized sales tax will indirectly trigger rent hikes for some tenants and could force some apartment building owners to scrimp on upkeep, an industry association warns. Although rents are technically exempt from the HST, the costs of many services borne by landlords will rise seven per cent July 1. That will push rental building operating costs up between 1.5 and three per cent, the B.C. Apartment Owners and Managers Association estimates. CEO Marg Gordon said the increase could be as much as five per cent in the case of some buildings.

“This will be a direct cost that comes out of our sector that we are not going to be able to put into maintenance, repairs, painting, cutting lawns — all of those things,” she said. Rent hikes are capped at two per cent plus the annual rate of inflation — or a total of 3.2 per cent for 2010. Housing minister Rich Coleman said he doesn’t believe service cost increases stemming from the HST would qualify as grounds for extraordinary rent increases in excess of the cap. But NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston said landlords will seek to pass on the higher costs, whether they are able to exceed the cap or not.

Trio of pot grows busted McConnell Creek properties taken down by local Mounties BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Three of seven properties on a short street in the McConnell Creek area were busted for marijuana grow ops last Thursday afternoon. The properties, all approximately 4.5 acres, were on the same side of the street off Hartley Road. Police first stormed onto the most heavily barricaded property of the three, then simultaneously moved in on the other two. Armed with a search warrant for production of marijuana, police marched past video cameras and motion detection sensors attached to trees on the first property and encircled a large two-level outbuilding. There was no house on the property, said Staff Sgt. Major Dave

Field. The outbuilding, like the rest of the homes on the street which police did not name, was not visible from the road. Police found Field three monitors and a police scanner inside the building, along with a bulletproof vest hidden in one of the walls behind a sheet of plywood. No weapons were found. Close to 1,500 plants were seized along with a generator, six air conditioning units and various equipment used for the illegal operation. The plants were growing in three stages, producing a crop every

three to four weeks and Field suspects the operation had been running for five years. Police took 300 plants from the second house, and 2,400 from the last one. A 56-year-old man police believe owns the 300-plant grow op property was arrested and taken into custody. Nobody was found on the other two sites. Marijuana grow ops are prevalent in rural settings because of a lack of neighbours and low visibility, explained Field. “We’re increasing our efforts to try to not only go after the grow in them, but we’re looking at taking the houses if we can.” Local Mounties are starting to free up resources to go after properties, a grow op reduction strategy successful in Surrey, said Field.

Mission man stabbed in Vancouver A Mission man was stabbed twice in downtown Vancouver Monday night near the intersection of Robson Street and Thurlow Street after he was involved in a

fight with a group of men. The incident happened around 10 p.m. and he was later found near the court buildings at Smithe and Howe.

The 28-year-old victim was stabbed in the leg and torso and is recovering in hospital. There are no suspects and the victim is not cooperating with police.

Residents disputing $5,200 bill BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

A Mission woman and her brother are disputing a $5,200 bill which the district says doesn’t exist anymore. Jacqueline Snider received the invoice after the district’s Public Safety Inspection Team (PSIT) investigated the Richards Avenue house last month for electrical problems and building defects due to high hydro consumption. Unbeknownst to the district, Snider had just sold the property and the new owners were already living there. “Our property records were not updated yet,” said Dennis

Clark, Mission’s director of corporate administration. “We didn’t realize it had been sold.” When the new information came to light, the invoice was cancelled and will likely be reissued to the new owners. But this case will be reviewed because the new owners had only been living there for about a month when PSIT knocked on the door. Snider, who appeared as a delegate to council Monday night, explained every room in the house has electric heat and there were five children and four adults living there at the time. She suspects the amount of hydro her family used was per-

ceived as unusually high because the home was empty for a year and the electric bill at that time was only about $135 a month. She says her average bill is about $400 a month. Her brother, Anthony, added that when the house was sold, building inspectors walked through and didn’t find anything out of the ordinary. The goal of the PSIT program is to find any health and safety issues related to the home, said Clark. “High power consumption may indicate there’s a problem in the house... We don’t approach it as a criminal investigation.” The information PSIT uses is

provided by BC Hydro, which identifies homes with consistently high power consumption. The residence is flagged if it uses at least three times more hydro than the average home, explained Clark. However, he also added there could be a number of reasons for the high power use, such as a pottery kiln or another type of homebased business. “Not every house we go into is a grow op.” And those with legitimate reasons will not be sent a bill. PSIT inspects about 150 properties a year and there have been only three or four disputes brought to council, said Clark.

Further backyard fire pit changes proposed BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

More changes could be coming to the controversial fire pit permit. Council is debating extending the life of the one-year permit and will discuss limiting fire pits to certain densities. The permits are required if residents want one in their yards for recreational use. Mission is one of the few Fraser Valley communities still allowing backyard fire pits. They are banned in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Langley and Maple Ridge. The unique status is what makes Mission both popular and unpopular among its residents. “It’s a quality of life issue,” said Coun. Mike Scudder. The new regulations were brought in after last summer’s provincial burning ban. The fire department attempted to inform those with a registered fire pit, but found the data was not cur-

rent and some registrations were a decade old. To correct this, the district introduced a $20 one-year permit in 2010. When residents register, they are also reminded of what they can and can’t burn. As of March 31, there were 250 registrations. Coun. Paul Horn asked district staff to come up with a cost analysis for removing any fees associated with renewing the permit. The number of registrations sounds impressive, but Horn questioned if there were 700 more unregistered. “If people don’t want to be paying a fee every year, the records will not be current.” Coun. Terry Gidda said the extra paper work requires staff time and a fee should apply. He suggested reducing the fee or extending the length of the permit. “This is a user fee, not a cash grab,” agreed Mayor James Atebe.

OPINION

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

Pivot point coming Those HST opponents who believe the government won’t repeal the PST and halt the HST are probably dreaming; the federal government has already passed the legislation, and the BC Liberals are not backing down. The next step is to have a successful citizen’s initiative petition. And with more than two months remaining it seems likely it will succeed. It’s not likely a standing committee, with a majority of Liberals, will recommend a referendum on Bill Vander Zalm’s draft bill to repeal the HST. More likely, the committee will send the bill to the house. It’s there that the pivot point will come — do the Liberals do an about-face, admit the HST was a bad idea, and kill it, or do they stick to their pro-HST policy, and kill Vander Zalm’s bill? It will be interesting to see the political calculus, and it may depend on the number of signatures. Is 20 per cent of the electorate enough to give the government pause? 30? 40? 50? The next provincial election is not until the spring of 2013. Is two years after the HST comes into effect long enough for people to forget their anger over the HST and forgive the Liberals? They seem to have been forgiven for the carbon tax. Or it’s been mostly forgotten. Gordon Campbell and the Liberals are probably confident in their support and in the ability of the electorate to forget and/or forgive. They expect that people will get used to the HST the way we’ve gotten used to the carbon tax. Perhaps they’re not worried about Vander Zalm’s suggestion some Liberal MLAs could face recall campaigns.But we’ll watch for the final petition numbers in July. The larger the number of signatures, the trickier the choice for Campbell and his government, in theory. It will be fascinating to see. - Williams Lake Tribune

Southerners fret over Site C dam on the Peace river B

efore I advocate the flooding of another 83 kilometres of the Peace River valley for hydroelectricity, let me establish my credentials, such as they are. After my family left the Okanagan for a homestead in the Peace country in 1961, one of our autumn rituals was to visit Taylor, just south of Fort St. John, in the shadow of an oil and gas refinery. There we would stock up on carrots, pickling cucumbers and other lush vegetables from the little market gardens perched in the microclimate on the narrow banks of the Peace. In high school I canoed down the Pine River and a short stretch of the mighty Peace, in the fall when it was safe to do so. Later I worked as a pollution facilities operator at the Taylor refinery, tending the giant water pumps, skimmers and aeration ponds that maintained a fragile barrier between the

plant and the river. This past January I travelled to the remote north end of Williston Lake to witness the final settlement between BC Hydro and Tsay Keh Dene, one of two native communities where Sekani people were moved after their traplines and cabin sites were flooded in the late 1960s. For $21 million plus $3 million a year for as long as the W.A.C. Bennett Dam produces To power, the community dropped its lawsuit, as the nearby Kwadacha (Fort Ware) community had done before it. These modern villages now work with BC Hydro to mitigate the ongoing erosion on the banks of B.C.’s largest body of fresh water, the piles of uprooted trees that wash ashore, and the dust that

blows up the valley when the reservoir is drawn down in summer and fall. There are no aboriginal reserves in the much smaller Site C region downstream. The dam would roughly triple the width of the already broad river, making it about a kilometre across. Of the 5,340 hectares that would be flooded, more than 80 per cent is Crown land. BC Hydro has been buying up private m land over the years, and now owns 662 hectares. Another 360 hectares is privately owned, in about 20 separate parcels. The portion that’s actually farmed grows mostly hay, the cheapest way to keep cleared land from being taken over by fast-growing aspen forest. If there is a single household supporting

itself by farming in this area, I’d like to know where it is. As soon as the decision to proceed with environmental assessment of Site C was announced, urban environmentalists began posturing about “food security” and the need to preserve what amounts to four per cent of the Peace region’s arable land, much of it never farmed. Why don’t more landowners produce those bumper crops of vegetables? As someone who actually has farmed in the Peace country, I can think of a few reasons. It’s remote. Winters are long. Crops fail. People in Fort St. John and Dawson Creek are much like the rest of us, buying most of their produce cheaply at the supermarket.

Loss of Victim Services New ways to collect would be blow to Mission public input needed Editor, The Record: My name is Cindy Wesley-Gale and I am a former Mission resident. I am sending this e-mail in support of the Mission Victim Services. As much as I wish Mission and all other communities were crimeless and do not need such a service, I know first-hand how important Victim Services is to the community. I am sure that most long-time residents will remember Nov. 10, 2000 when my 14-year-old daughter Dawn-Marie Wesley chose to end her life due to the bullying she was the victim of from other Mission youth. That night Victim Services’ Vic Barron attended our home. Following Dawn-Marie’s death and five months of investigation

charges were laid against the bullies for the first time. Mr. Barron was with me every step of the way. Even during the five months before we were informed of the charges Mr. Barron continued to stay in touch with my family and was a huge support for all that we were going through. Mr. Barron walked me through every step of the legal process and to the best of my memory never missed a court date. My family was all residing in Ontario and I felt totally alone and if it was not for Victim Services I am not sure how I would ever have survived the trauma of losing my daughter and having to sit through a trial that described how other youth hurt her. I have many ties to Mission. Many of Dawn-Marie’s friends

still live there and I myself have many friends who came to be like family to me. The community is just as important to me now as it was when I resided there. I have also been following the newspaper via e-mail and have seen letters to the editor that have me believe there are problems and a possible loss of Victim Services in Mission. This would be a huge loss for the community as well as any resident who is recovering from a crime and was in need of support. I urge all residents of Mission to continue to support Victim Services; get involved and keep them in your community. They are truly a valuable asset to some one who is the victim of a crime. Cindy Wesley-Gale Woodstock, Ontario

Municipality should simply accept DFO’s decision regarding proposed shopping mall Editor, The Record: Re: Ravines in way of new Junction-sized development, April 22, 2010: This proposal is of concern to residents worried about the continuous impacts on the environment, streams and declining fish stocks. About a year ago, a residential development application in this general area of ravine banks and fish-bearing streams was also rejected. Since development applications involving waterways are the jurisdiction of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), they are forwarded by the District of Mission to DFO for decision so it is hard to understand council’s foot-dragging in wanting to continue trying to get this latest proposal passed. Who feels another giant-sized mall is needed in Mission when

the Junction is often not fully occupied and was indirectly instrumental in killing the downtown business core which many have tried to resuscitate to no avail? No doubt the possible future development of part of Silverdale is the reason for trying to develop another mall in the area but that is hardly valid since it is only a few minutes to the Junction. Furthermore, why do we give consideration to the “developer’s own environmental consultants” on this recent application, who suggest the “waterways/ravine are unstable and degrading the ravine?” Filling them in and developing a mall and parking lot in the immediate area is not an acceptable solution. At the moment, only two of our councillors voted against the proposal. Certainly anyone can make

an application for certain changes of the landscape, as we are so often informed by council, but after it has been considered and investigated by our own experts, why doesn’t the proponent and/ or council and staff in municipal hall accept the decision? We must err on the side of caution and put all efforts into protecting any remaining streams and wild corridors in this province and country or our wild fish population will disappear — one fish, one stream, at a time. Every year we hear of enormous decline in fish stocks, and even in the same issue of the above Record, there is an article on the subject. It is therefore our responsibility to protect such a resource with the utmost vigour for its future existence. Lila Rauh Mission

Editor, The Record: I am not a member of the Green Party, nor am I what you’d call a rabid environmentalist. What I am is concerned. We seem to have approached or may have even reached the limits of our finite resources. This could well mean that if I want more of something, someone needs to have less. Why am I saying this? We are in the midst of a near tax revolt regarding the HST. We need to reflect on how we got here. We have a democratic system of government where public input is a paramount principle. The question is: Do we have any “adequate” public input? I think not. Our elected governments rely on advice from unelected “experts” and are sadly influ-

enced by special interests and vocal minorities. (After all, according to a jaded member of academia, a politician wants three things: get elected, get re-elected and get a pension.) The road to the foregoing does not lie with rocking the boat. We have reached a level of disfunctionality where some reform is necessary. We need to find ways of collecting true public input, for which we have already several models, such as Switzerland. We need consensual decision-making where the interests of the majority are the deciding factor in fiscal and resource allocation questions. Lastly, we need openness, honesty and responsibility in politics at all levels. Peter Bandi Mission

Clean up bill sent to owners BY JASON ROESSLE AND CAROL AUN Mission Record

A home on Keystone Avenue was destroyed by fire early Monday morning. Mission Fire/Rescue Service was called to the home at approximately 5:45 a.m. and once on scene found the building engulfed. According to Asst. Fire Chief Larry Watkinson, 911 callers reported hearing multiple explosions and then saw flames. Firefighters also heard more detonations once they arrived, however, the source of these has not yet been determined. The remains of the house were pulled down by an excavator because it was structurally unsafe, said Watkinson. A clandestine drug lab inside the residence in the 30000 block of Keystone is believed to be the cause of the fire, said Cpl. Raina Siou. RCMP’s Clandestine Lab Team found dangerous toxic and flammable liquids and called in a specialized company to clean up the site, which shut down Keystone traffic for hours. The municipality will send the clean-up bill to the property owner, said Siou, noting the cost could run in the tens of thousands of dollars. Nobody was injured in the incident. MSS hit again The local high school suffered another bout of fire-related damage just before 2 a.m. April 26. Firefighters found a fire in the back of the school in the wood shop’s dust collection bin and a dumpster on fire, said school principal Jim Pearce.

Day Sale Remains not human Mother’s All Items BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Mounties confirm the remains found in Lake Errock Monday night are not human, but more likely a bear. RCMP’s IHIT was working east of Mission Tuesday morning after local police secured the area the previous night. The remains were found by a local resident walking on Dyke Road, off Malcolm around 6:30 p.m. Monday. The remains were

taken away by the coroner’s office for examination and determined they were not human.

Missing flooring? Police have found a large amount of laminate flooring, which they suspect was taken from the Cedar Street area. Mission RCMP were alerted to the material by the BC Ambulance Service, who was attending to a man suffering from a drug overdose in a basement suite. People with addictions

sometimes steal to support their habit, according to police. Mounties believe the flooring was taken on either the night of Sunday, April 18, or Monday, April 19. If you are missing some flooring and suspect this could be yours, call the Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161 or visit the office at 7171 Oliver St. and bring proof of ownership. The item will be held at the police detachment for 90 days.

A local fishing club is taking more than just fish out of the rivers. The Wooly Buggers club, named after a fishing lure, has adopted a 1.1-kilometre stretch of Silverdale Creek and will try to keep it as clean as members can. Maintaining or improving the environment is the club’s mission statement, said Gerry Lockwood, one of five members who founded the club in 2003. And

one of the club’s edicts is to clean up a stream annually. In the past, the club — composed of men ranging in age from young adults to seniors — has picked up trash around local waterways but will now focus on a portion of Silverdale Creek near Tyler Street. It’s one of the main places people dump at, said Lockwood. When the club got together for the annual clean up last month, they pulled out 850 kg of garbage and 200 kg of metal. “We pulled out beds, all kinds of grow op stuff, car parts, and household garbage,” said Lockwood. Because of stream regulations, there were things the men couldn’t remove. At this time of year, he explained, volunteers can’t enter the stream to pick up garbage, or take anything halfway in the water for fear of habitat damage. Trash around creeks is an increasing concern and has caught the attention of the Mission

Adopt-A-Block Society (MAAB), which is including two streams in its fall cleanup. “We’re expanding to streams because it is part of raising awareness,” said Laura Cameron, MAAB coordinator. “Litter is more than just ugly. It’s a problem for the environment; it’s harmful to animals and aquatic life.” There are pictures, she continued, of animals getting their head stuck inside things like pop cans, chip bags, and even fishing tackle. Even leftover food is dangerous. Some people think it’s okay to throw out food because it will decompose, but animals are attracted to the smell, Cameron explained. “Birds swoop down to pick it up and other animals that are attracted to the smell will try to get it on the road and get hit by a car.” Eventually everything washes down to the ditches and goes into the ocean. MAAB has not determined which two streams will be targeted for clean up, but Cameron notes Lane Creek by the library is a problem. “It’s quite a hot spot”

because of all the people coming and going, said Cameron. The most littered item is cigarette butts, according to MAAB, followed by fast food and convenience food packaging. “A lot of people don’t think litter is all that important in the big scale of things, [compared to] global warming,” said Cameron, who noted we need to change those attitudes because if we all did it, we’d be living in a landfill. Annual cleanup Over the last couple of years, MAAB has engaged the community in a spring and fall cleanup. Non-profit organizations can sign up to pick up litter, but only eight groups will be selected. Once finished, the groups are each awarded $500. This fall, two groups will be picking up around streams. There are eight litter routes, explained Cameron, and groups can apply for either a stream cleanup or road cleanup. Applications for the fall cleanup are now available at www.missionadoptablock.com. The deadline is June 30.

What would you do if you were cut off from help for a number of days? Do you have enough water? Food? Can you tell if your house is structurally sound? If you are unsure, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not alone. Most North Americans are ill-prepared to deal with a major catastrophe and an event kicking off this weekend at the Leisure Centre aims to help local residents improve their survival odds.

SD charges flat rate for busing BY NEIL CORBETT Mission Record

Mission school board trustees voted to charge every student who takes the bus a flat fee of $200 per year, starting in September 2010. There will be breaks for families with more than one child busing to school. The second child from the same family will be charged $120, the third child $80 and the fourth (or more) will be free. Under the former rate structure â&#x20AC;&#x201D; implemented for the first time last year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; secondary students

paid $30 per month and elementary students $20, and there were reduced rates for those who needed busing only one way. The district received numerous complaints about how the fees were being charged. Trustee Randy Cairns called any bus fee â&#x20AC;&#x153;a continued erosion of service,â&#x20AC;? and warned that $20 per month can be a hardship for families struggling financially. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many parents, whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working or not, are struggling,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And this is another ding.â&#x20AC;?

could cause more parents to drive their children to school, at a time when governments are working hard to get people to use transit and reduce carbon emissions. Secretary treasurer Roy Daykin noted the district spends $1.1 million per year on busing but the education ministry provides just $800,000. He estimated the new fee would generate $150,000. Daykin noted the public transit system would charge high school students $300 per year. With the UFVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U-

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 2010

Ukrainian Festival at the Clarke Theatre Saturday Each year Ukrainian dance troupes from around Western Canada and the U.S. gather in Mission for the largest Ukrainian festival in the province. The 15th annual BC Ukrainian Cultural Festival (BCUCF) is slated to take place at the Clarke

Theatre May 1. “Over the years we have had hundreds of young people perform at our festival ... all in pursuit of the coveted gold medal,” explained Gladys Andreas, the originator of the festival. “They put on dances from all regions of Ukraine. The

Society hopes to exceed last year’s $45,000 in donations Annual event May 1 at Best Western Travel back in time to the 1920s at the Mission Hospice Society’s gala fundraiser on May 1 at the Best Western. “It’s a community effort in terms of developing and promoting the gala. All the funds raised stay in the community,” said Kim Skinner, Mission Hospice Society executive director. Last year the event raised about $45,000 and Skinner is hoping to beat that this year, with up to 225 guests. The gala has had awesome support so far, she said, but this year’s event will be different. It’s the society’s 25th anniversary this year. The annual gala is well known for the extravagant decorations and the sought-after diamond ring. Everyone is encouraged to dress up in a 1920s costume and there will be prizes for the best dressed. There will be a classic car at the event and everyone coming in can have their photo taken with it as a souvenir. The diamond ring, valued at $2,500, was donated by Mindy McPherson. As in the past, roses will be sold for $20, and everyone who buys one

will have their name put in the ring draw. Organizers will also be selling headbands with a feather for ladies and fedora hats for men in keeping with the theme, at a cost of $50 each. Everyone who buys a headpiece will also receive a gift bag, valued at more than $50. Come early and buy your hats as there are only 50 of each, urges Skinner. There will also be live music and dancing. There are gold, silver and bronze sponsors for this year’s event, and some donations even come from beyond the community. Coach is a major contributor this year, said Skinner. There will be about 60 silent auction items ranging from designer clothing to spa and dinner gift certificates. In the live auction, guests will bid for a two-week trip to Disney World, a cruise from Vancouver to Alaska, a new kitchen, fishing trips, and a designer patio set. The Mission Hospice Society has over 100 volunteers and only five staff members. Its goal is to support those who have lost a loved one and those at the Christine Morrison Hospice. For more information about the Emeralds Gala call 604-826-2235 or visit www.missionhospice.bc.ca.

RCMP volunteers thanked BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Mission RCMP volunteers were honoured for their dedication and hard work at a special ceremony last Thursday afternoon. Victim Services works on very interesting cases, said Gina Lehmberg, who heads the group. There are 16 volunteers who put in approximately 10,000 volunteer hours last year and opened 440 new files. The service boasts 240 active clients a month. Vic Barron, who looks

after 56 volunteers at the Crime Prevention Office (CPO), says enthusiasm is the greatest asset with the group. Whether it’s staff in the office or volunteers with citizens patrol and other programs run out of the CPO, everyone helps reduce the crime rate. Mission has 20 auxiliary constables who all exceed the minimum requirement of working 160 hours a year. These volunteers ride along with RCMP members, conduct foot, bike and even boat patrols, said Cpl. Sharon Siluch.

“We can’t measure crime prevention stats,” she added, but a difference is being made by the lack of crime. “Our crime stats, year after year, have continued to fall,” said Insp. Pat Walsh. “Each individual [volunteer] may seem to play an insignificant role, but as a whole — team work — produces spectacular results.” Each volunteer received a special pin recognizing their efforts, and those with milestone service years received an extra pin and certificate.

The 10-day Paddle for Wild Salmon journey stops in Mission April 29 where they will be greeted by supporters and the local RCMP around 5:30 p.m. The paddle began yesterday (April 28) in Hope and will finish in Sydney May 7 where paddlers will meet up with biologist Alexandra Morton. Together, they will walk to Victoria on May 8 to deliver their message and petition asking for the end of fish farms. The Paddle raises awareness to the plight of wild salmon in the Fraser River. According to Morton, sea lice from fish farms make it difficult for wild salmon to survive. The paddlers are asking communities all along the Fraser River to show their support for wild salmon by signing

and circulating the petition which asks for the removal of fish farms from oceans and to show up with the signed petition at one of the many stopping points along the river. All stops and gatherings along the river as well as places where other experienced paddlers can join the paddle can be found on the facebook events page Fraser RiverPaddle for Wild Salmon, Foolish April Fish website, and Salmon are Sacred website. Visit salmonaresacred. org to sign the petition and learn about Morton and the Get Out Migration, and other coinciding events. The public is also welcome to greet the paddlers at the river, sign the petition in person, and write your name on the canoe in support of the journey.

Volunteers continue project in Santa Maria de Jesus A team of Mission volunteers is preparing to head to Guatemala to build a house for a family. The project is a continuation of one that will see a series of houses built in the mountain village of Santa Maria de Jesus. This will be the fourth house built by the Mission team. Almost 10 years ago a group from Cedar Valley Mennonite Church visited Guatemala and discovered many people in rural areas lived in shacks with cornstalk walls and dirt floors. Contact was made with Bethel church — a small protestant church in Santa Maria — and in 2007 a pilot project began and a new, sturdy, house was built for a family selected by

Breanna, Val and Reuben Goerzen, Wendell Martens, Josh Cariou, Ashton and Mikayla Neustaeter and directors, Sandy and Pastor Chad Neustaeter. The GTX (Guatemala Team 2010) team spent six months prior to the trip raising money for building materials and ensuring the building site is owned by the local Guatemalan. The new house is 16x18 feet and will have a concrete floor, which will be installed prior to the team’s arrival by a group of Guatemalan volunteers. The team will also take approximately 700 pounds of children’s clothing and shoes to distribute to the village children. To help fund this year’s project GTX is hosting a fundraising dinner and auction, featuring entertainment from world-renowned musician Calvin Dyck at Cedar Valley Mennonite Church May 29.

Hello from the 40 Developmental Assets Working group! The 40 Developmental Assets are 40 foundational building blocks required for the healthy development of a young person. The more assets a young person has, the more they are likely to succeed and be resilient against peer pressure and high risk behaviors. In November 2008, a 40 Developmental Assets survey was completed by 2188 students in Mission. The average asset level reported was 16.8 out of 40 assets. On May 6, 2010 6:30pm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 8:30pm the 40 assets youth will share Missionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s survey results in an informal community workshop. We hope you will join us for this community event, share in some appetizers and beverages and listen to what the youth have to say in your community! RSVPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are required. Please RSVP by Friday April 30th to Kirsten Hargreaves (Manager of Social Development) (604) 820-3752 khargreaves@mission.ca We thank you for your support, District of Mission Social Development 40 Developmental Assets Working Group

Please sort and tarp your loads Surcharges will be applied to unsecured loads at landfill

PAY IT

Recyclable and compostable materials must be separated from garbage, or a 50 per cent surcharge will be applied to the entire load. At the current tipping fees, that would be $11.50 per tonne, instead of the regular $79 per tonne. Recyclable materials include all blue bag materials, such as paper, cardboard, rigid household plastic containers of codes 1, 2 and 5, as well as food-related metal cans, lids and glass bottles and jars. Other recyclables accepted free at the landfill include metal appliances, scrap metal, empty propane tanks and automotive batteries. The curbside collection calendar features a complete list of recycling options and is available in print at city hall and on the city’s website at www.mission.ca/Page33.aspx. In an effort to divert as many materials from landfill as possible, the district is also keeping brush, branches, yard waste and all clean lumber separate from garbage. This material is then chipped and composted to be used in landscaping and erosion control projects. You will also be asked to place any contaminated wood products in a separate area. Loads arriving at the landfill must also be secured to prevent litter along all access routes to the landfill. Unsecured loads are now subject to an increased surcharge of $10 per load. Litter cleanup is expensive and should be unnecessary with just a little bit of extra effort. A secured load is one that is, at a very minimum, tied down. Questions can be directed to the environmental coordinator at 604-820-3795.

Joseph wins best Golden Gloves novice The local boxing club returned to Mission last weekend with five Golden Gloves champions in tow. Mission City Boxing attending the championships in Victoria April 16-17 and some of the club’s standouts didn’t disappoint. Cody Brown was a champion in the 110 lb. division while Jessy Brown was champion in the 125 lb. division. As well, Sean Kroeker was a champion in the senior 178 lb. division. Sean McIntosh boxed in the 141 lb. senior division, which was a step up for him because he is only 17 years old. He fought Maple Ridge’s Dave Funk, 34, and lost a close decision, despite a very skilled effort, said coach Dale Gatin. McIntosh had been recently upgraded to the senior division, so that he could get more

experience to prepare for the Canada Winter Games. Two boxers new to Mission City Boxing won their divisions in very exciting fights, Gatin said. Tyson Volker, at 12 years old and 82 lbs., fought Austin Stewart, 12 yrs old and 82 lbs, from Quesnel. Volker used his jab very well, said Gatin, and in the first round, used that weapon and various combinations to good effect, bloodying Stewart’s nose. By the end of the round, Volker was up 9-3. In the second round, both boxers gave a spirited effort and the referee stopped the contest a few times because of Stewart’s bleeding nose. In the third round, the referee stopped the fight and gave Volker the win by TKO. Gatin was also pleased with Daniel Joseph’s two fights.

On Friday, Joseph boxed East Vancouver’s Sergii Baidak in the 152 lb. senior division. Joseph was able to pressure Baidak and earn several points in the first round, ending it 9-3. Joseph also won the second and third rounds walking away with a convincing 26-5 win. On Saturday

Joseph met Matt O’Flynn in the Golden Gloves final. “We had seen Matt box on Friday and we knew that he threw wide punches, so we told Daniel to throw nice straight punches down the middle and use his good foot work to avoid Matt’s punches,” said Gatin.

The plan worked. Joseph tallied a good number of points with the straights and dropped O’Flynn for an eight count after a straight right to the chin, putting Joseph up 19-5. In the second round, O’Flynn knew he was down and started putting more pressure on Joseph and charg-

The Mission City Boxing Club is hosting a fundraiser this weekend allowing fight fans to see the local boys in action again. Saturday Night Fights 4 is being held at the Leq’a:mel Community Centre, 43101 Lougheed Hwy., Deroche, May 1 with doors opening at 5 p.m. On the card will be Jessy “The Bomber” Brown, the 2010 Canadian national silver medallist, Cody “Young Money” Brown, the 2010 Canadian national champion, along with a host of others. The first bout is at 6 p.m. Admission is $20 for adults and $10 students. ing in, Gatin explained. O’Flynn’s strategy backfired and he was caught by another straight right and was knocked out. This bout was named best bout of the Golden Gloves and Joseph was awarded the best novice boxer of the tournament.

Angler is always competing against the fish I

did some fishing with last week’s column and received some very good feedback. Some of the feedback was focused on my reference to winning at the sport of fishing. I understand not everyone wants to go pro angler, or compete in national or international championships. That being said, an angler who wishes to attain consistent success needs to understand fishing itself is a contest. Every time we cast our lines we compete with a fish; one wins, one loses. It is a fact of life as timeless as time itself. What is different about this game is that neither winning nor losing is bad; we learn

from both. One grants us feelings of accomplishment and the other the drive to improve. Fifty three years of sport fishing and the fish still beat me. Not nearly as often as they did years ago, but often enough to keep me humble. What have the fish been teaching you lately?

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 2010

B.C. increases impaired driving penalties BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Responding to an increase in drunk driving cases, the B.C. government has increased fines and other penalties for people caught drinking and driving. Under amendments to the Motor Vehicle Act introduced Tuesday by acting Public Safety Minister Mike de Jong, police will have the option of imposing an immediate penalty on anyone who fails a roadside breath test. Instead of issuing a 24-hour suspension, police will be able to impose a 90-day driving ban, a $500 fine and impound the vehicle for 30 days. The fee for reinstating a suspended licence will be increased from $100 to $250, and drivers will also be billed $700 for towing and 30 days of vehicle impoundment. Failing a roadside test will also mean mandatory participation in B.C.’s “responsible driver program” at a cost of $1,420. The changes mean one roadside test could cost a driver $3,750 before driving again, and that is before any criminal code charges and suspensions that may also result. The legislation also provides for a three-day driving ban and a $200 administrative penalty for someone who blows a “warn” reading between .05 and .08 on a roadside screening device. This usually results in a 24-hour suspension under current laws. Three “warn” ratings within five years could result in a 30-day ban and $400 penalty. De Jong called the new

penalties “swift, severe, and the toughest in the country.” Announcing the changes at the B.C. legislature Tuesday, de Jong was flanked by police officers from around the province, and a couple whose daughter was struck and

killed two years ago by a driver charged with impaired driving. Four-year-old Alexa Middelaer was feeding horses at the roadside in Delta when she was killed in 2008. The driver in the incident is scheduled to go to trial

in May. Her parents said they were grateful that the latest changes were dedicated to their daughter’s memory. “This does provide a real hope, and I have to say today has been really inspiring,” Laurel Mid-

delaer said. De Jong said 30 years of “counterattack” promotion and enforcement in B.C. has got the message through to most drivers, but about one in 30 still drinks and drives, and cases have begun to increase in recent years.

General manager Frank Ehrhardt said the changes will be obvious to customers and it’s a lot more than a facelift. That said, the first thing people will see at the Junction location will be a new decorative awning and overhang out front.. And greeting them initially through the doors is a new information desk. Canadian Tire carries a wide variety of home products, tools, automotive, sporting goods and garden products. To find what they need quickly, many customers are now making the new info desk their first stop. There are also kiosks where customers can access Canadian Tire on-

line (Canadiantire.ca) to see what products are available, or to search the store’s inventory for in stock items. The paint department has been dramatically expanded and there will be more professional colours available. Bring in a digital image of any colour and the store can match it. The store is also expanding its outdoor sporting goods selection with more for anglers, campers and those who enjoy a day on the water. The garden centre has been expanded, taking advantage of the space under the new awning. There is new signage, and new decor. “It’s a new look for Canadian Tire, and there’s a lot more room,” Ehrhardt said. “We’ve already got a lot of compliments about the openness of it.”

Construction workers put some of the final touches on the revamped Mission Canadian Tire storefront.

Local musician Brian Holt is set to release another CD this week. This time the 24-year-old is playing with Abbotsford’s Josh Custodio and together they make up All My Friends, an electronic duo. The pair met last year through mutual friends and have been jamming together in between other commitments. Their first album called I Have No Faith in Machines is being launched at a CD release party tomorrow night at Opening Nite Theatre on North Railway Avenue. Surprisingly, the album came together really quickly, said Holt, a Mission resident. There are six songs on the album which the pair wrote and recorded on their own. “When we record, we turn off all the lights and turn on a strobe light,” Holt explained. Holt and Custodio originally wanted to make a techno album but their sound turned into synth pop. The first song they released, Tonight Happens, was a hit among their friends. Holt has been playing music for more than 10 years. His inspiration came from his dad, who got together with his friends Friday nights to play cover songs. It was a highlight in their week

Review

a.m. The Historic Dewdney Pub, dance, is located 5 min. east of

and young Holt took notice. He picked up the guitar when he was 13 but found he wasn’t very good at it. “My parents made me play the electric guitar without an amp because I was so bad,” recalled Holt. But soon he got the hang of it and took an interest in other instruments, like bass, drums, piano, harmonica, sitar, etc. And he also sings. Holt has a wide range of musical interests, and is in three other bands, all with different sounds. Sweet Sweet Honey Bucket is a blues rock band, playing music like Eric Clapton and Led Zeppelin; Modern Lakes is an indie rock band; and Los Amigos gets inspiration from reggae/latin folk sounds. Holt says he keeps a tight schedule and enjoys playing the variety of music. While this is the first album for All My Friends, it’s the fifth CD release of which Holt has been a part. This album is different because every song contains a good memory for the pair. Holt says he and Custodio work well together and their chemistry is evident on stage. All My Friends will be performing hits from their new album on April 30. Oh No! Yoko will be opening for the duo. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $5. For more information about the band, visit allmyfriendsmusic.com.

ave you ever sat through a movie and thought ‘have I seen this before?’ I used to watch a lot of movies. Whether it’s action or drama, documentary or animation, if there was something that caught my attention, I would be comfortably seated in front of a big screen shortly after the movie was released. If there wasn’t anything interesting at the cinema, I made a dash for the local video store where I could spend hours reading the back of movie boxes, trying to find the night’s entertainment. On one of those nights, I must have been digging in the foreign section and picked up a movie about a man’s funeral and the comedy of events that happen with his family. It was a British comedy and now I remember how much I enjoyed it. That’s probably why when I saw

Chris Rock (left) and Martin Lawrence are brothers trying to get through the day in Death at a Funeral, a remake of the 2007 British comedy with the same name.

the trailer last week for Death at a Funeral, I decided to pay SilverCity a visit.

The movie has an impressive cast and they all did a great job, especially Chris Rock as Aaron,

who anchored the movie, and James Marsden as Oscar. It begins with Aaron, who is about to see his father in his coffin for the first time when it is brought to the house. But when the lid opens, it’s clearly not his father and the tone for the movie is set. Each character has a key role in the movie and in the end, it all comes together. Aaron is trying his best to organize the day and is getting little help from his brother, Ryan, played by Martin Lawrence, who is supposed to be a big-shot writer, but he has his eyes set to another focus, young Martina. Luke Wilson, who plays Derek, is trying to win Elaine’s (played by Zoe Saldana) heart, but she’s already engaged to Oscar (Marsden), who just can’t seem to impress Elaine’s dad no matter how hard he tries. See REVIEW page 34

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 2010

An evening with Cockburn Legendary Canadian musician takes Clarke stage Legendary Canadian singer, songwriter and guitar virtuoso Bruce Cockburn will be in concert at the Clarke Theatre, Tuesday, May 4. Cockburn has been writing, recording and performing for 35 years. Sometimes he plays on his own with a guitar, other times he is fronting touring bands made up of some of the best musicians. Cockburn has released 23 studio albums and four live albums, with the latest being Slice O Life — Live Solo (True North records

2009), a double CD featuring Cockburn solo. Slice O Life ranges from the controversial If I Had a Rocket Launcher, his classic Lovers in a Dangerous Time and his breakthrough Wondering Where the Lions Are, which he rightly quips may be the only song ever to make the billboard chart that includes the word “petroglyph.” This exactly what you can expect from him every night. A humble man with strong commitments to disadvantaged citizens of the world, Cockburn

has earned 20 gold and platinum awards in Canada, was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2001 and was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2002. An Evening with Bruce Cockburn is being presented by Rock. It Boy Entertainment in association with Jelly Events. Tickets are on sale for $39.50 (plus service charge) at Ticketmaster, www.ticketmaster.ca or call 604-280-4444. Doors open at 7 p.m., show begins at 8 p.m.

British version released in 2007 From REVIEW page 32 And on this particular day, Elaine gives Oscar what she thinks is a valium to calm him down, but it turns out to be something her brother had cooked up and Oscar spends the day hallucinating. Danny Glover plays crotchety old Uncle Russell who just likes things his own way.

But it wasn’t until I saw Frank, played by Peter Dinklage, that I knew for certain this wasn’t new to me. Frank threatens to show Aaron’s mother pictures of himself and Aaron’s father in compromising positions unless Aaron pays him $30,000. I knew what was going to happen next. Aside from the initial confusion, I had some

good laughs in this remake of the British movie with the same name. The British version was released in 2007 and even if I had remembered I had watched it, I still would have made the effort to see the American version. The 2010 film has some changes, but it remains a black comedy, which isn’t for

everyone. For me, I have to be in the mood to watch such shows and I definitely was last week. Death at a Funeral is playing at SilverCity Mission until Apr. 29. Show times are 7:25 p.m. and 10:05 p.m. If you’ve missed it this week, you can catch it at Colossus in Langley and SilverCity Coquitlam next week.

Review

Concert pianist plays with emotions LET OTHERS HAVE THEIR SAY The art of attentive listening is a skill that few of us have mastered. When listening to others, we are often so concerned about what we will say next that we fail to hear what the other person is telling us. A conversation is a two-sided activity that should go back and forth like a good tennis match. If one side is dominating the conversation or not listening, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a good conversation. Although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to dazzle people with our sparkling wit and incredible stories, people often just want someone to listen to them. In these situations, they may need to vent their feelings, and they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily asking us to solve their problems or even give them feedback; perhaps they just want someone to listen to them and understand what they are going through. The next time you get the impression that someone just needs a sympathetic ear, try to listen carefully to what they are saying, but also pay attention to what they may not be saying but are trying to convey on some deeper level. There will be plenty of opportunities for us to talk at some later time. We rarely regret having held our tongues to listen, but we often regret having spoken.

es, the Canucks were busy eliminating the Kings from the playoffs last Sunday night (and I was one of the first to check the score during intermission), but meanwhile, a miracle was happening at the Clarke Theatre. It was music: as honest an expression as one is likely to find on any stage, played by Minsoo Sohn. Lisztâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music is often played as if the whole point was to show off the technical challenges involved. Sohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s execution was certainly impressive, but I have to admit I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t watching his hands very much. I was listening. I heard freedom paradoxically mingled with restraint. His music seems to be defiantly true â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in-your-face with introspection, but what impressed me most was

Pianist Minsoo Sohn impressed the Mission audience at the Clarke.

his ability to wait for the emotional climaxes in each piece, making everything else serve that moment. This was particularly true of the surprising

contrasts in the Liszt transcription of Schubertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gretchen am Spinnrade. The quiet agitation of the beginning was superbly underplayed and the mounting

tension was so gradual you hardly realized you were being carried along the rapids until the waterfall appeared. The transcription of themes from Mozartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Don

Giovanni also gave free play to Sohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to sustain believable dramatic contrasts, creating a veritable mini-opera in itself. He proved that one man and a piano could convey the conquering of innocence, and the inevitable slide into hell that the music originally evoked. The concert included a clever pairing of a contemporary work by Leon Kirchner with a piano sonata written by Beethoven late in his life. The Kirchner was a barely tonal exploration of tension and calm, with truly gorgeous lyricism, which led beautifully into the first movement of the Beethoven â&#x20AC;&#x201D; its own masterful exploration of tumult and peace. Having just heard Sohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interpretation of an unfamiliar work, I was struck by how he approached the Beethoven with the same feeling of it being hot off the press â&#x20AC;&#x201D; free to be imagined freshly and honestly, not covered with the dust of other artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decisions. Not, I hasten to add, that he was disrespectful to Beethovenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own directions, in an effort to be merely â&#x20AC;&#x153;original.â&#x20AC;? Rather, he seemed to enter into the piece so thoroughly, and understand it so well, that as he played it, he spoke directly from himself, through the medium of Beethoven. Sohn is a perfect example of the synergistic miracle that can happen between composers and performers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; how minds can meet at impossible distances of time and space, and create together. -Submitted by Michelle Chattaway
