Bill Vander Zalm led Mission in an antiHST movement Tuesday night at the Leisure Centre. “We’re going to stop the tax!” roared the former premier turned campaign leader, speaking before a sparse crowd in the curling rink. “We’re going to make the government listen and respond!” The Harmonized Sales Tax is the wrong tax, at the wrong time, for the wrong reasons, he said. Vander Zalm explained the tax will not provide money for health care, social programs or eduacation. “In fact, were cutting back education and

school hours because there is no money.” The money, he insists, will go to the corporate sector. It wouldn’t be so bad if it went to small business because they are the real creators of jobs, he said. Small business owners hire people and get to know their families and the community, and they struggle through tough times because they know they just can’t lay people off. “But corporations don’t hesitate to lay off people.” Vander Zalm also refuted claims that the new tax would lower prices of some products. “Nobody believes that,” he said. He doesn’t believe it will stimulate the economy or create jobs. Instead, corporations will use the money they get back for their bottom line. “They will use it to expand and grow, then

hire more people. But not until then.” Everything the government says about the HST can be refuted, he said. Every B.C. premier and finance minister since W.A.C. Bennett has been asked to by the federal government to implement the HST, said Vander Zalm. “Everyone said no. It’s not good for B.C.” Even during the last election, the premier said HST wasn’t on the radar. But that wasn’t true, and now B.C. has a big challenge ahead, the anti-HST leader noted. “We want the largest numbers we can get.” Vander Zalm and his crew, including Chris Delaney, are trying to get 10 per cent of registered voters in each of B.C.’s 85 ridings to sign See HST Page 2

the petition opposing the new tax, which will come into effect in July. As of Tuesday night, there were already 400,000 signatures collected and the goal was reached in 56 ridings. “There is still eight or nine weeks to go in the campaign,” said Delaney. He explained the petition will go to the legislature, asking the provincial government to cancel the agreement with the feds and repeal the HST; reinstate the PST as it’s known today with the same

exemptions; and refund any HST money collected to everyone on a per capita basis. The Leisure Centre crowd stood, applauded, and cheered the anti-HST leaders in the end. Mission resident Dave Harris said he’s “mad as hell.” The government is out of control and there are too many taxes, added Harris, who hopes the petition will make a difference and send a message politicians. Ten-year-old Jenna Miller held up a home-made sign showing her opposition. “The HST isn’t going to help

anyone,” she said. “It’s not helping citizens, and isn’t that what Liberals stand for?” Jenna’s mom Suzanne remembers the controversial Vander Zalm days in B.C., and never thought she would be standing behind him on anything. “But he’s right about this,” she said. “They lied to us.” Bryce Schaufelberger and Russell Pattison who advocate for people with disabilities were concerned about affordability when the new tax comes in. “We only get a certain amount of money,” explained Schaufelberger. “It’s hard enough now.”

There were 2,000 plants found in an underground bunker beneath a steel container on a Ridgeview Road property.

A fire investigation led police to a large marijuana grow operation in the 36000 block of Ridgeview Road, just off of Sylvester Road, east of Mission on May 10. About 8:40 a.m. North Fraser firefighters were battling a blaze in four large shipping containers on the mostly wooded lot. The containers were fully engulfed in flames and it is suspected the fire was caused by a generator in one of the containers, said Mission RCMP Cpl. Raina Siou. While conducting safety checks around the property, officers were drawn to a 20-foot steel container which had a strong odour emanating from it. Mounties secured the area and applied for a search warrant in order to investigate further. Police were surprised the container was empty when they opened it later in the day. “But the smell was so strong,” said Siou, explaining officers continued to search for the source of the odour, and eventually found a trapdoor leading to an underground bunker. There was a long ladder leading to the bunker floor. A number of safety precautions — electrical hazards, booby traps, and air

quality — had to be taken into consideration because of the confined space, Siou said. BC Hydro was called to the site to look after any electrical problems. An officer with confined spaces training also offered his expertise. Armed with an air quality sensor, the officer determined there wasn’t a safe level of oxygen in the 32-foot by 20-foot bunker to allow officers to enter. The space had to be vented before police could continue the investigation. Once inside, police found about 2,000 marijuana plants in various stages of growth. There was a mess of pipes in the bunker, which led police to determine the water source for the grow op was coming from a nearby stream. That prompted a call to BC Conservation. BC Hydro determined the power source was from a nearby property. There was no residence on the site where the bunker was located, but there were cameras in trees surrounding the large steel container. Nobody was at either property while police conducted their work, and the matter is still under investigation. Police have recently been focussing their efforts on battling marijuana grow ops in the rural areas of Mission recently, where they are easier to conceal.

Waterfront renewed with Spirit Square Mission’s new meeting place has breathtaking views of the Fraser River BY

CAROL AUN

Mission Record

When one climbs the stairs to Mission’s Spirit Square, the vista takes your breath away – that’s what Sharon Fletcher feels whenever she visits it, and that view is her favourite aspect of the park. Fletcher, Mission’s planning department director, has climbed those stairs on bright sunny days when Mt. Baker is clear in the distance and the reflection of the bridge is unmoving; she’s also seen it on cloudy days, raining days and windy days. Spirit Square, located at Jack Poole Harbourside Park, has become one of her favourite places to visit. She’s happy bringing a lunch there to eat during a busy work day, or simply relaxing on one of the benches and watching the day go by. “It’s a very peaceful place to go,” said Fletcher, who is helping with

the celebrations to officially open the square to the community this weekend. The project has taken a long time to complete — it has been nearly two years since the provincial government handed over a $345,000 grant for the project. Spirit squares across

the province were built to commemorate B.C.’s 150th birthday. The district held open houses and worked with consultants to design and build the square. One of the reasons it took a long time, says Fletcher, was because partway through the process, “We

realized it was the best site for an Experience the Fraser demonstration.” Experience the Fraser is a trail being built from Hope to the Pacific Ocean, traveling along on the north side of the river. The district worked to accommodate a trail head for the

project, and reinforced the dike. The square is about 15x20 metres, with a life-size carving of a sturgeon on one side. The cedar structure is 14 feet long, and it represents the largest sturgeon caught here, explained Fletcher. There are also five 15-foot banners hanging on poles depicting the importance of the Fraser, from fishing to lumber work and life on the river. There are also benches and picnic tables for families to enjoy, and there will also be a place where people can come and watch the river rise and fall. This will be a meeting place for people, the planner predicts. And it’s wheelchair accessible. “It (the Spirit Square) is the first real new development on the waterfront,” said Fletcher, adding it shows council is serious about establishing public places in the area. “People can come and enjoy it.” The open house for the Spirit Square is being held on Saturday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. A high school band will be playing and there will be a First Nations ceremony to bless the sturgeon. Local dignitaries will be present to help cut the ribbon to officially open the square. For more information about the project, visit www.mission.ca.

MCS will run new supportive housing project BY

NEIL CORBETT

Mission Record

The province chose Mission Community Services (MCS) to operate a new 44-unit support housing development in the former Grand Street Lodge. “We’re very excited,” said Tony Lapointe, executive director of MCS. His organization also operates Haven in the Hollow, a 20-bed emergency shelter for homeless people. So being chosen to operate the new second-stage housing is “a natural fit.” “We’re focussing on providing a continuum of services, as they move toward independence,” he

said. He explained people who have been living on Mission’s streets, or who are in danger of becoming homeless, can stay at Haven in the Hollow for about 30 days – time enough to get back on their feet, and get a plan to regain control of their life. By the time they get to 7755 Grand Street, they will be putting their plans into effect – pursuing employment and/or education and reconnecting with loved ones – while getting the support services they need. Lapointe anticipates an average stay of six months, but says the facility could accommo-

date clients for up to two years. He said this kind of facility has been sorely

needed. The service they provide is really only offered at recovery homes, which he says are “hit

for all your

and miss at best.” What’s more, while drug and alcohol addiction are often part of the profile with homeless people, other issues including mental health, employment problems and lack of family support are other common factors. So, Lapointe said the new housing fills a huge gap. “There is no other second-stage facility in the area,” he said. One is being planned in Abbotsford, but it will be aimed at single women and their children. The Mission building will have 12 rooms for women, and 32 for men. While MCS will be responsible for managing

the property and overseeing programs, it will partner with other local groups to deliver services. These will including the Mission School District, Fraser Health Authority and the John Howard Society of the Fraser Valley. Renovations should be completed in June, with occupancy beginning in July. Lapointe said 14 new staff must be recruited and trained. Fraser Health is providing clinical support and will work collaboratively with MCS to ensure community mental health and addiction services are available for clients when Grand Street opens its doors. According to a govern-

ment press release, the province purchased the Grand Street property in January 2009 as part of a series of acquisitions since 2007 to protect and upgrade buildings to provide affordable housing opportunities for those in greatest need. In 2010-11, the province will invest over $562 million to provide affordable housing and fight homelessness more than four times as much as in 2001. ‘Breaking the Cycle of Homelessness’ is a website providing a detailed look at provincial programs and services to address homelessness.

Lost on Red Mountain Mother with two-year-old befuddled by unmapped trails BY

CAROL AUN

Mission Record

The little girl slipped one arm and then the other into the thick jacket her mom held out for her. She already had on two layers, but her mom, Candace, was going to take her for a hike on Red Mountain, and didn’t want to take any chances with the weather. Candace, 25, called her mom and told her where they were going and what time she could expect them back. The young mom also packed a couple of bottles of water, some snacks, and a map of the trail she was going to follow, obtained from the district’s forestry department. They laced up their hiking boots, and headed out the door. Candace, who doesn’t want her last name used, drove up Shaw Street, just off of Keystone, and turned onto Caswell, where she parked by the gate to the logging road. The hike was suppose to take her and her twoyear-old daughter 2.5 hours. The pair found the head of the trail and soon began their walk. They chatted happily as they made their way through the fresh-smelling forest, and onto another logging road. They followed it until they reached another trail that was suppose to take them back to where they started. According to the map, the loop was suppose to be 3.7 kilometres. There were numerous forks in the road, forks that didn’t appear on her map, and Candace started to wonder if she had taken a wrong turn. The orange tags which marked the trail at the beginning of the hike were nowhere to be found. There were mountain bike tracks all around, and she hoped a helpful rider would whip down the path. She continued to lead her daughter this way and that way,

How should we manage our waste?

realizing she didn’t know where she was. After two and a half hours, Candace called her mom to let her know she would need more time, perhaps another two and a half hours, to find her way back. She tried retracing her steps, but only got more confused and frustrated. Inside she was freaking out, but she knew she had to stay calm for her little girl. They walked until they found a small clearing, and there was a bridge over a small creek. Then Candace called for help. She dialled 9-1-1, but said it wasn’t really an emergency, and asked for someone who knew Red Mountain. She felt bad for taking up emergency resources. An RCMP helicopter flew over the area, but couldn’t spot the young mom or her daughter. Candace tried to find a larger clearing. She attempted to go back to the forestry road, but was horrified when she came around the corner and ended up by the bridge where she just started from. She was going in circles. The helicopter kept circling the area, and eventually Candace told the dispatcher it was directly over her. She pretended to be playing a game with her daughter, who had fun waving at the helicopter and singing to the forest critters. On the ground, RCMP Const. Phil Patterson drove his vehicle as far as he could on the gravel road off of Dewdney Trunk Road, and then made a beeline to the lost hikers on foot, following directions relayed from his radio. He made a path through dense bushes and climbed through all obstacles in his way. He blew his whistle, and Candace shouted out to let him know where she was. When she spotted Patterson’s yellow jacket, it was as if an angel was coming out of the bushes to rescue her. See LOST Page 5

Candace thought she had done everything right before starting the hike. She had been a Girl Guide and knew it was best to be prepared. She grew up in Mission and had hiked around Hayward Lake, Rolley Lake, and Bear Mountain without any problems. The only thing she would do differently, she said, is not rely on the district’s map. There are two multi-use trails and one hiking trail, according to the Red Mountain Trails Network pamphlet put out by the district. The problem, says Bob O’Neal,

Lance and daughter Jessica Heinrich and Jessika Rowley.

Remembering Jessica

the district’s forestry manager, is there are a lot of unauthorized trails on the mountain too. “It’s a problem all over the Fraser Valley,” he noted. Mountain bikers build their own trails, and sometimes they’re not built to standards. All of the district’s trails are marked, but the unofficial ones aren’t, making it easy for someone to get lost. There is an approval process that official trail builders have follow, and the district has offered to work with mountain bikers to build trails, but O’Neal notes there are “some renegades” out there who just want their own.

Over the next few months, the district, with the help of volunteers and a co-op student from BCIT, will be looking for existing trails around the district, and will either take out or improve the ones that don’t meet standards. After that, new maps will be produced. Candace is thrilled to hear that. In the meantime, O’Neal advises hikers to pick up a map, and stay on the marked trails. Never go out on your own, and always let someone know where you’re going.

A Perfect Place TO RECOVER

AFTER YOUR SURGERY

Family and friends honour the girl they lost BY

NEIL CORBETT

Mission Record

A Mission family that lost their eightyear-old daughter to cancer last year has put together a running team, with a goal of raising $5,000 for Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. “We want to help raise money for the hospital that worked so hard to help Jessica,” said her stepmom, Jessika Rowley. “They were amazing.” She and Jessica’s father, Lance Heinrich, essentially lived at the hospital for most of a year, “When your child is in BC Children’s hospital, you become part of a family. It includes doctors, nurses, receptionists, cafeteria employees, custodial staff... you know them by name, you learn about their families and you are forever tied to this community,” Rowley wrote in an online account of the family’s ordeal. In August 2008, they learned that Jessica had a mass the size of a golf ball growing in her brain. After a blur of activity – an MRI, tests, brain surgery and two rounds of chemotherapy, the cancer was no longer visible. But the cancer returned, and in May 2009 a new MRI revealed the cancer had returned, and there was a second tumour. She received high-dose intensive radiation five days a week for seven weeks. The treatment progressed well, and by September of 2009, with the tumour almost gone, Jessica was able to start Grade 3 with her friends. But she was in school for only two months before Jessica needed an air ambulance back to Children’s. “The doctors told us that after defying odds month after month and surprising them at every corner, our amazing girl was out of options. They gave us hours to weeks and we knew we would not be leaving the hospital. We made the most of the time we had left. We cuddled, we watched TV, we visited with friends and family at the hospital, we told Jessica

about our favourite memories with her, and about all of the ways she blessed our lives. We told her how proud we were (and are), how much we love her. How she has changed us forever,” wrote Rowley. She remembers the extra effort by the staff at Children’s. Before each procedure, they would use a doll to demonstrate to Jessica exactly what they would do; the playroom for kids; the visits from Vancouver Canucks Roberto Luongo, the Sedin Twins and mascot Fin; the yoga nights for parents. But giving back is not just their way of saying thanks. Jessica had a piggy bank that she used to save her money from birthdays and Christmases from the age of three. Her parents asked her what she wanted them to do with the money, and she said they should use it to buy toys for the playroom. Wrote Rowley: “...on November 28, a month to the day from when we got the news, Jessica passed away, peaceful and free of pain and surrounded by family. She was eight years old, and loved butterflies, music, crafts, being outside, telling jokes and laughing.” After she passed away, Lance and Jessika honoured their girl’s wish and bought board games, strollers, trains, crafts, X-box games, a Hannah Montana movie and more, to give to the kids in oncology. Jessica had saved up more than $450. So the upcoming fundraiser is about more than just raising money for the couple. “We want to honour her spirit, and what she meant, and what she believed,” said Rowley. They will enter the 25th annual Keeping Faith run for Children’s Hospital Oncology, on a team of 20 friends and family members, including Jessica’s best friend Linnea Coard. They will walk the 5k route on June 6, starting at Children’s hospital. Anyone interested in donating can email jessikarowley@shaw.ca.

OPINION

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

Competence questioned

ast week’s Kash Heed debacle left a stain on the “competence” label that, for the most part, has been a hallmark of the BC Liberal government since it assumed office in 2001. While the government has stumbled on occasion, for the most part it has conducted public business in a diligent and fairly transparent way. This is due to the competence of many cabinet ministers and leadership shown by Premier Gordon Campbell. However, like all governments, the longer it remains in office, the more its architects assume that they can do no wrong. The lack of a coherent communications strategy about the HST is a textbook example. The premier is the one who decided last Tuesday to readmit Kash Heed into cabinet. He did so while he was in Europe, and as a result of the conclusion of an investigation by a special prosecutor that led to no charges being laid against Heed. However, some very serious charges dealing with conduct during an election have been laid against some of his key campaign organizers. Just a short time after Campbell decided to invite Heed back in, the special prosecutor himself resigned, due to a conflict of interest that he at first thought was irrelevant. His law firm had donated money to the Heed campaign in the last election — the very campaign he was investigating. There is no way that the premier could be expected to know this. But his judgment in inviting Heed back in so quickly, particularly when he is out of the country and Heed’s own campaign officials are facing charges, must be questioned. Heed of course has now resigned again, after occupying his old office for less than a day. A new special prosecutor has been named and the entire affair is once again being investigated. The entire conduct of this matter raises questions, about everything from conduct during elections to the role of special prosecutors. But more than anything else, it shows a lack of competence. – Black Press

Heed’s talent squandered K

ash Heed’s second cabinet resignation within a month will likely be his last, whatever the outcome of charges against his campaign officials. As this mess is sorted out by a new special prosecutor, here are a few things that may have been lost in the shouting during last week’s resignation meltdown. Heed didn’t choose where to run. Nor did he select the campaign manager and financial agent now charged under the Election Act and Criminal Code for distributing anonymous brochures attacking the NDP. Heed’s nomination in the ethnic battleground of VancouverFraserview was as orchestrated as any in the history of the ruling B.C. Liberal party. A To square-jawed top cop out of Hollywood casting, Heed was personally recruited by Premier Gordon Campbell to be the face of a crackdown on the drug gangs that were regularly exchanging bullets from Vancouver to Prince George. He was assigned the local B.C. Liberal election machine vacated by previous star candidate Wally Oppal, who went home to South Delta and lost by a few votes. Thus Heed, who lives in Richmond, became the party’s second consecutive parachute candidate for VancouverFraserview last spring. According to RCMP investigators, Heed’s narrow victory in Fraserview fea-

tured three separate pamphlets that failed to disclose election sponsors. These crude brochures, with clip-and-paste pictures of gangsters, suggested in English and Chinese that the NDP favoured legalizing drugs. NDP candidate Gabriel Yiu would understand as well as anyone the hostility this suggestion provokes in the Chinese community. So would Heed, who rose through Vancouver Police Department ranks from constable to detective to inspector responsible for southeast Vancouver, where he established a gang violence task force. In a 30-year career, he headed the VPD drug squad and an Indo-Canadian gang task force, and also completed a BA and m master’s degree in criminology at Simon Fraser University. Heed’s 2005 master’s thesis makes interesting reading. Among his thesis supervisors were SFU professor Neil Boyd and nowSenator Larry Campbell, both known as outspoken critics of the futile “war on drugs” approach. Using VPD arrest files, Heed’s analysis debunks a couple of myths propagated by the media. One is that Vancouver’s drug problem is largely a result of immigrants. In fact the dealers were overwhelmingly Canadian-born. Another is that dealers are rich. He found most are poor, users themselves who rack up arrests for prop-

erty crime as well as drug dealing. This is the spiral that creates a hard core of chronic offenders. Heed examined the various theories for dealing with the violent street drug trade. Like many others, he found the “moral rejection and absolute prohibition” approach to be “a failure in country after country,” noting that it is propped up mostly by war-on-drugs politicians who get elected on its false promise of public safety. Heed rejects the “market solution” of legalizing drugs as “likely politically impossible,” although it would reverse the spiral of high costs and profits that is the engine of the gangland trade. He cautiously endorses a “decriminalization and treatment” approach where law enforcement focuses on treatment for chronic offenders, rather than the more popular moral punishment. If this approach sounds familiar, it should. It was introduced in B.C. by a distinguished former judge named Wally Oppal, who as attorney general piloted the “community court” system in Vancouver, before being tossed on the scrap heap by voters obsessed with the parochial gripes of Delta South. Heed may now be targeted in a recall campaign, given the anger stirred up by the tainted election campaign that delivered him to Victoria. Good luck to the B.C.

HST issue challenges MLA integrity Voters won’t recall MLAs over the HST

Editor, The Record; An open letter to MLA Randy Hawes, B.C.’s constituents worry about the “facts” you’ve used to promote the HST. Either those so-called “facts” are factual, or they’re not. The provincial Liberals’ HST strategy appears to be a multifaceted attack on B.C. constituents: First, the Liberals seek to decrease business taxes; secondly, their HST seeks to recapture the loss of those business taxes by increasing the taxes paid by B.C.’s middle class in direct proportion; thirdly, they seek to tax a basket of consumer services/products that had been previously untaxed, or, had been previously “under taxed.” B.C.’s constituents believe your so-called “facts” misrepresent the HST burden and

likewise misrepresents who will bear that burden. The HST represents a big new shift in tax strategy and that new burden falls squarely on B.C.’s constituents who do not have the ability to increase income to make up the difference. How about if we give you another 24 hours to respond to the “Hawes integrity challenge:” 1. Guarantee B.C. taxpayers that you will resign if any of the “facts” you’ve represented in your letter turn out to be wrong. 2. Guarantee B.C. taxpayers that the Liberal government will repeal the HST if any of the “facts” you’ve represented in your letter turn out to be wrong. 3. Guarantee B.C. taxpayers that the Liberal

government will reimburse B.C. taxpayers for any and all tax increases caused by the HST. And pay penalties for any overcharges. The question on of the minds of B.C. constituents is this: How can we trust your view of the HST when you’re unwilling to give us reason to trust you? Is personal responsibility integral to your view of integrity? If your integrity does not include taking personal responsibility for the “facts” you’ve used to promote the HST then B.C. constituents will view that as proof you’ve intentionally misled them regarding the HST. “When the “facts” change, …what do you do sir?” Walter Neufeld

Challenging Dalton’s HST information Editor, The Record; It seems that false representation and deception runs amok in our current Liberal government. Does this happen through Osmosis or is it just that the Liberals seem to have it in their genes? Take for instance our local MLA Marc Dalton. At the home show in Maple Ridge, he was handing out a flyer titled “Following are a few facts about the HST.” I’d like to take issue with all the points he is making. First Dalton states the HST is not a tax grab. He says the government will receive $100 million less. Well if the government will receive $100 million less why implement the HST? He says it’s all about jobs. Where are the facts to back up that statement? Ask the people of the Atlantic Provinces if they saw an increase in jobs. Does anyone recall manufacturing companies moving from Ontario to Nova Scotia, Newfoundland or New Brunswick? More likely they moved to China or some other low wage paying country. He says most prices will remain the same or go down in costs. Where are the facts?

Third, he says small businesses will pay less in taxes. Yes but the other side is less people will be able to afford to purchase, because of the HST, their taxes will increase. Fourth he says the PST is a “dishonest tax.” Does he justify that statement? He doesn’t! He says “People think that they pay 7% (PST) but they usually pay 8%, 9% or even 10%.” Where did he get those numbers? He goes on to say small businesses are forced to pass on their PST costs to the consumer in order to make a profit. What’s new there? I’m all for small business making a profit. The flip side is, with the HST they make 7 per cent more profit. We, the tax payers, have 7 per cent less in our pockets, because we pay the tax for small business. Small business can claim the HST as a business expense and deduct it from their gross sales and get it returned as a rebate. Talk about a transfer of wealth! I wish we, the citizens of this province, could do that! He says virtually every independent economist on both sides of the political spectrum supports the HST, saying how

important it is for the economy of British Columbians. Who are these independent economists? He doesn’t or won’t name them. He asserts: “Average home costs are projected to go down slightly in Maple Ridge and Mission.” I’m a realtor Mr. Dalton and it’s not the HST that will force prices up or down. It’s the market that will move prices up or down. The market is representative of how much money people have in their pockets, bank accounts, bank interest rates and other intangibles. The Bank of Canada has said this summer they will increase interest rates. With the HST tax and an increase in interest rates, there will be less money for everyone. That perhaps will force prices down. These prophecies he makes, well he must have a crystal ball. Please tell us what the next winning lotto numbers are Mr. Dalton! Good luck in next election Mr. Dalton! I’ve had enough of the deceit and lies from this so called Liberal government. Ron Sward Maple Ridge

Developer: Keep your hands off the ravine Editor, The Record; In the dividing line between developers and the environment, I can be usually found on the side of the environment opposing any council or mayor doing a pretty good imitation of the old song, Paving Over Paradise. In this particular case, the property is what is left of a ravine - so that shortsighted people on council can help pave the way for another mall to be built, providing Asian junk in one or more box stores paying minimal wages for parttime work. It comes down to me not trusting this or any council to provide the necessary stewardship to protect the environment. The majority on council recently voted to support taking 40 acres of protected farmland out of the Agricultural Land Reserve. And, adding insult to the injured local environment, there is a plan to dump soil onto remaining viable farmland to the north of the proposed industrial park addition. I

can’t help but wish that our council had the level of understanding that has lately come to the Langley Council, where it was stated: “We have to make sure land filling is done in the best interests of agriculture, not in the best interests of lining someone’s pockets.” A person only needs to look on Google Earth to see that the filling in of ravines has already destroyed valuable habitat for salmon and animal corridors. By today’s standards and environmental awareness what happened was criminal. If you think this might not affect you, then think about this cautionary tale of a home I saw the other day that had to go through the expense of lifting up one side because some irresponsible builder had built it on top of a now-rotting log. No home inspection could have protected this unfortunate owner, as the rotting log was six feet under the ground. It turns out

that the homes on that entire side of the street were built on a stream without culverts. That is something that was repeated right across Mission. Even today, the laws governing where homes can be constructed is so slanted to the developers that just a few feet of dumped gravel on top of bog land will be able to pass the perk test. What happens to homes built on that land as their weight pushes downwards? What do you think will happen on land so soggy that detention ponds have to be built? Or did someone repeal the laws of gravity? Is this going to be any different to innocent home buyers than the ones with the buried time bomb of that rotting log? If it is, I can’t see it. The builders will be long gone if and when those homes start to sag and the walls warp and the drywall cracks. The district will, rightly so, say that the perk tests were done and passed with flying colours so they aren’t

to blame. Not legally perhaps but what about those quaint notions of moral and ethnical responsibilities? To mix metaphors, the line in the sand should be drawn in what remains of this particular ravine. It would be just that developer’s tough luck that he wants to build over something with more intrinsic value than another box store. Sure, there needs to be development in Mission, but it has to be done with more care than I’ve seen so far and with far more responsibilities assigned for past, present, and future errors in judgement by the district. This can start with a hard and fast rule that no council will deal with any developer operating through numbered companies, as that goes against transparency which should be a fundamental principle in all levels of government. Robert T. Rock Mission City

Editor, The Record; I do not agree with suggestions (in some of the articles in the papers), that the success the antiHST campaign is having with the number of signatures they are obtaining, is a reliable indication that the majority of the population of BC hate the tax, or the present Government. The core supporters of the NDP are more than enough to accomplish this goal. And I believe the reason for the success is that the campaign is well organized. I suggest that come July first, the majority of the people, are likely to begin to realize that the HST is not such a big deal, and any recall efforts may well be a different story. Morris Goodchild Mission

Thankful for Vander Zalm’s HST campaign Editor, The Record; I can’t say that I’m well versed in all the details of this tax debate, but there is one thing I can say. It’s really nice that Vander Zalm has stepped up as an advocate for the people. It’s not often that someone with some political weight steps up and fights. They say we live in a democratic country, but the only thing democratic about it is our right to vote. You can wave banners, march, and protest, but in the end we are rarely heard. Be careful who you vote for because once they are in (Mr. Campbell, I’m talking about YOU) they will bully and push you around, with one hand deep in your pocket, and the other cuddling with big business. Thanks for sticking up for us, Vander Zalm. Looks like this might be a fight for the history books. Jennifer Fraser Mission

Money well spent Editor, The Record; I was not happy when I read how much our BC Hydro bills are going up. Then I read that BC Hydro is spending $15 billion over the next 10 years to repair and improve B.C.’s old dams and generally keep B.C.’s public electricity system functioning. Okay, I totally get it now why our hydro bills are going up: we’ve been riding on the coattails of our parents and grandparents who built an incredible public utility that we’ve let fall into disrepair. It’s time for us to pay up and invest in the public utility they built. $15 billion is a small price to pay to keep one of the best public utilities in the world public. We all value the public benefits BC Hydro provides to us and it’s worth the increased hydro rates needed to keep it strong and publicly owned. Eugenia Nikolaidis Vancouver

Three-car crash There was a three-car crash on the bridge at Hawkins Pickle Road and Lougheed Highway on Sunday at approximately 2 p.m. There were multiple injuries and some occupants were taken in ambulance. RANDY HARRIS PHOTO

A new $1.67 million roads project is underway in Mission. Road resurfacing work is about to begin on Highway 7, from Murray Street to Dewdney, improving riding comfort and road quality. The $1.67 million contract has been awarded to Martens Asphalt Ltd. To minimize disruption to traffic, work will be restricted to early mornings and evenings, with no work on Sundays. The project begins this month and is expected to be completed in August. “The Government of Canada is committed to getting shovels in the ground, stimulating the economy and creating jobs for British Columbians,” said Pitt MeadowsMaple Ridge-Mission MP Randy Kamp in a press release. “Working together with the B.C. government, we can build the infrastructure that will help

the economy to thrive now and in the future.” The federal contribution to this project comes from the $4-billion Infrastructure Stimulus Fund, which provides funding

to provincial, territorial and municipal construction-ready infrastructure projects. “Lougheed Highway is the main roadway in Mission and it is critical

that we improve this section to ensure that drivers and pedestrians have a safe and comfortable road to travel on,” said Abbotsford-Mission MLA Randy Hawes.

Hospitals fail to recover millions in medical fees BY

ROBERT MANGELSDORF

Black Press

Uninsured patients are costing hospitals in the Fraser Health Authority millions of dollars in medical fees after they skip out on their bills. While the provincial government reimburses hospitals for the costs of medical procedures covered under the provincial Medical Services Plan, if uninsured patients don’t pay their bills, the hospital has to cover it. In 2008/09, $2.7 million in medical fees went unrecovered by the Fraser Health Authority. Fraser Health spokesperson Roy Thorpe said the majority of uninsured patients the health authority sees are visitors from foreign countries, recent immigrants to Canada, and residents who have let their coverage lapse. Hospitals are required by provincial law to treat all patients, said Thorpe, and they can’t deny urgent medical attention to someone if they are uninsured. However, the province won’t reimburse the hospitals Best Buy – Correction Notice To our valued customers: We apologize for any inconvenience caused by an error in our flyer dated: April 30 - May 06.

for their costs. “Medically required services will never be denied,” said Thorpe. “But we do try to make them pay.” If it is determined that a patient is uninsured, they can be required to sign a responsibility for payment form, and put down a $6,000 deposit for medical services. Those who do not carry valid insurance are billed for the services they receive, said Thorpe, and every effort is made to have them pay before they leave the hospital. However, he noted that hospital staff do not have the ability to force a patient to pay, nor can they refuse service if they do not pay. If a bill goes unpaid, it eventually ends up in collections. As many uninsured patients are from out-ofcountry, collecting the money can be difficult, if not impossible. Roughly 10 to 15 per cent of all uninsured patient expenses go unrecovered annually, according to Thorpe. He said Fraser Health is trying to reduce that number by educating people who may have let their coverage lapse due to financial hardships that they could be eligible for free coverage. “Everyone is eligible for MSP,” Thorpe said. “If you have low income, there are waivers available.” For more information on MSP coverage, visit www. health.gov.bc.ca/msp.

New fees on patients Convalescent units now charge $200 a week BY JEFF

NAGEL

Black Press

Fraser Health is now charging convalescent care fees to patients who need short-term stays in residential care homes after being discharged from hospital. Those patients – who are typically elderly with chronic diseases and stay on average seven weeks before going home – paid nothing previously. But since April 19, Fraser has begun charging new patients $29.40 per day, or more than $200 per week. “It is absolutely and entirely reasonable,” health minister Kevin Falcon said. “It’s an appropriate contribution towards the cost of room and board services.” The fees are the same as B.C.’s base fees for long-term care, which went up in January for most seniors in care and are slated to rise again next year. The same short-term fees, which work out to $894 per month, are to be imposed across B.C. and could recover up to $3.5 million in expenses. Those who feel the convalescent fees will cause serious financial hardship can apply for a reduced rate, but they may not find out for weeks whether they face a big bill or not. Those who don’t want to pay at all are to be discharged home with possible home support. Convalescent care units exist at Fraser Health care homes in Langley (Cedar Hill Unit at Langley

Memorial Hospital), Surrey (Laurel Providers’ Association. He said paPlace), White Rock (Morgan Place), tients going home early might not Abbotsford (Sherwood Manor) and receive proper care and others may stay in acute care hospitals longer, Chilliwack (Cheam Village.) Some of those care homes say worsening hospital congestion and seniors have begun shunning con- costing the system more money. “This is a trend to more seniors valescent care because they don’t paying more for their care,” Hurford want to pay the fees. “Some of them don’t understand said, adding the province should why they’re paying for care now have pursued different ways to cut and some of them choose to stay in costs. “The government is desperate for hospital,” said Pat Wilkinson, convalescent care coordinator at Sur- revenue,” NDP health critic Adrian rey’s Laurel Place, where several Dix said. “This is another class of beds have been empty since ppatient they’re charging.” Fraser Health officials say the fees kicked in.

But the distinction between she’ll end up back in hospital, occupying a bed that ideally should be PATH units and convalescent care is murky – both are a stepping stone used for acute care cases. “There’s a lot of anxiety at the from hospital to home – and Dix moment among the clients,” she suspects patients in all such beds said, adding patients want to go may be charged in the future.

Electric scooter found Police have located a blue-purple electric scooter and are now looking for its owner. Around 7 a.m. on Wednesday, April 28, Mission RCMP found the scooter on the back steps of a hair salon in the 33000 block of First Avenue.

If you know who this item belongs to, contact the Mission RCMP at 604826-7161 and bring proof of ownership to claim the item. The scooter will be held at the Mission RCMP detachment building for 90 days.

Instead, it refers to the bursting blossom of the hawthorn – May being one of its common names. The flowers don’t come out until spring weather begins to warm up. Enlightenment comes in many ways. Spring, to me, also signals rebirth, renewal and growth. To gardeners and home owners it can also mean hard work. At our house, spring has initiated a kitchen renovation, spring cleaning, garden cleanup and veggie gardening. Communities in Bloom (C in B) member Myrna Matthews has added to the beautifica-

factorily with invasive plant disposal. Growing is a key word to the local C in B Society in a variety of ways. In the first year of local competition, there were 10 entry categories. In an effort to be inclusive of all kinds of properties and organizations, now there are 15 categories: Vegetable Gardening, Industrial/Commercial, Churches and Temples, Environmental Project, Heritage Project, Malls and Large Corporations, Non-Profits, Residential-front yard, Residential-back yard, School Project, Services Clubs Project, Small Business-Commercial Area, Small BusinessResidential Area, Strata

Development and Retirement Residences and Youth Project (NonSchool). From these is selected “Best Effort in all Categories.” The emphasis in all of these is participation. High numbers of local entries are one good indication to the national judges that community and individual participation is high. Judges do more than measure the hard work of the C in B members. Please register before June 15 and qualify for sponsors’ discounts. Now I am off to plant more radishes and green onions in my square foot garden. More on that later. Meanwhile, Keep Blooming, Mission!

Air quality important BIGGEST TENTSALE factor in decisions: 92% 90%OFF BY

KEVIN MILLS

Black Press

Incineration is not popular with Fraser Valley residents, who consider air quality to be a major factor in any decisions involving industrial activities. According to a new public opinion survey by Angus Reid, 59 per cent of respondents who were aware of Metro Vancouver’s incineration proposal oppose it (39 per cent strongly and 20 per cent moderately). Of the 27 per cent who supported the concept of burning garbage, six per cent were strong supporters and 22 per cent offered moderate support. The remaining 14 per cent were not sure. It was just one of several questions asked in the survey, commissioned by the Abbotsford Community Foundation (ACF), and funded by a donation from an anonymous source. While the final analysis of the survey, including the questions asked, won’t be announced until Friday, Marilyn Hamilton, past president of ACF, released the summary report yesterday (Wednesday). The online poll asked nine questions (along with secondary questions) of 450 randomly selected Angus Reid Forum panelists who are residents in the Fraser Valley Regional District. (Panelists register with Angus Reid, and are then invited to respond to various surveys several times a year). According to the Angus Reid summary, given the choice “between incineration, and compost and recycling 100 per cent of our waste,” FVRD residents were overwhelmingly more likely to choose compost and recycle (66 per cent), to only 10 per cent choosing incineration, and 16 per cent saying some other method. Landfilling was not listed as an option. John Vissers, a local environmentalist, was one of several people who helped create the questions posed in the survey. He acknowledged that 100 per cent recycling and composting in the region isn’t yet possible.

“No, it’s not. But it’s something we should be striving for,” he said, adding it’s “unfortunate” the question posed in the survey uses the term 100 per cent, but felt the results are still relevant. “What happens is you put together a series of questions and Angus Reid refines them ... something must have gotten lost in the transition.” Awareness of Metro Vancouver’s proposed plan to build incinerators in the Lower Mainland is high, indicated the Angus Reid summary, with 81 per cent of panelists saying they have heard, seen or read about the issue in the past several months. The number is higher with men (88 per cent), than with women (74 per cent), as well as with people who do not suffer from a respiratory illness (86 per cent) and those who have lived in the FVRD for more than 10 years (84 per cent). While the survey was created to gauge the respondents’ opinions on the incineration debate, air quality in general was also investigated. The summary concludes 92 per cent of Fraser Valley Regional District residents believe that the Fraser Valley’s air quality should be a very important factor in any decision-making about industrial activity in Metro Vancouver in general. Air quality is “very important” to 84 per cent of respondents and “moderately important” to 15 per cent. Approximately two-thirds (65 per cent) rate the air quality in the Fraser Valley as very poor (22 per cent) or moderately poor (43 per cent). The survey also resurrected the spectre of the Sumas Energy 2 (SE2) proposal – an American power plant project across the border that was eventually cancelled due to a huge public outcry concerning air quality. Other results included respondents commenting on expected impacts on public policy areas if incinerators are built. The impacts were classified into positive (strongly and moderately) and negative (strongly and moder-

ately). Among the results: Q Air quality in your community: 83 per cent negative – and worse among those with university degrees (89 per cent), those making over $100,000 (89 per cent) and those suffering from respiratory illnesses (89 per cent). Q Human health: 78 per cent negative – and worse among women (81 per cent ) those with university degrees (85 per cent), and those who have in the past suffered from respiratory illnesses (81 per cent). Q The environment: 76 per cent negative – and worse among those with university degrees (86 per cent), and those who have lived in the valley more than 10 years (79 per cent). Q Livestock: 67 per cent negative. Q Tourism: 65 per cent negative – and worse among those with university degrees (73 per cent). Q Agriculture: 63 per cent negative - and worse among those who are aware of Metro Vancouver’s proposed plan to build incinerators (67 per cent). The complete report will be available tomorrow (Friday). The survey was conducted online May 3-7. The margin of error, which measures sampling variability, was +/4.6 per cent, 19 times out of 20.

The group will be hosting a short rally prior to Metro Vancouver’s public consultation on its waste management plan at that location. “Tell Metro we don’t want our garbage burned. Tell Metro we want a better plan that prevents waste,” said John Vissers, rally organizer. Metro’s public consultation session begins with an open house from noon to 1 p.m. followed by public input from 1 to 4 p.m. and a half hour question period from 4 to 4:30 p.m.

Young track stars shine Mission’s top elementary school athletes ran, lept and shot-putted their way to glory last week, as the district track and field championships were held at Albert McMahon Elementary on Thursday and Friday. There were 709 kids entered, each already having won at the school level, and there was a small army of dedicated volunteers organizing the events. “It was probably the best meet we’ve ever had, because for the first time we had two dry days,” said Terry Johnston, who coordinates the meet along with Christa McAuley. The kids competed for team points, and the following is a list of the top schools, followed by a list of the gold, silver and bronze medal athletes in each event.

Mason Young runs to a first-place finish in the district 400m final, and also takes bronzes in the 200m and long jump. NEIL CORBETT PHOTOS

Hatzic comes back, wins playoff opener As the playoffs began, the Hatzic senior girls soccer squad continued their winning ways, starting with a 3-2 victory over Robert Bateman. Despite trailing 2-1 at half-time, the team opened the second half with renewed focus and dominated play. With their goalie pulled in favour of an extra attacker, Hatzic tied the game with 10 minutes left. With the game crawling towards overtime and already in injury time Danni Chard netted the winner to ensure that Hatzic advanced to the next round. It was her second of the game and Meghan Rymat also scored.

Angling class worthwhile

ecently I was privy to a discussion on the cost of angling classes. This has been a subject of debate for as long as professional anglers have been offering to teach others their skills. Often these debates stem from a lack of understanding on the part of novice anglers on what it takes to

become a good angling instructor. As in any form of teaching, quality instruction doesn’t just magically appear when one hangs his or her shingle. Since there are no teaching manuals for sport fishing instructors, the good ones usually have a lifetime of successful angling from which they draw. Most fit into one of the

two main categories: generalist or specialist. Generalists tend to cover the basics helping both novice and intermediate anglers with their foundational skills. Specialists deal in specific areas of the sport and with advanced anglers, assisting them in achieving the most out of their sport. Given that there are six centuries of writings and 17 centuries of application to this sport, you might want to consider some guidance. When it comes to the cost of an angling class, you should also question what your time is worth.

Even though Batista was the taller of the two fighters by five inches, Jones was able to use his jab and get inside.

Joseph was down by four points at the end of the second round, but in the third round he was able to gain points with his aggressive style. After three rounds, the judges had the bout tied. They used the count back system, and Joseph edged Cordova out by a slim 17– 16 margin.

y parents have watched me struggle over obtaining my license for the past two years. First I went through an entire year with my learner’s permit, then another with my novice; now I’m into my second year of my N and am eagerly awaiting my full license in June 2011. That’s three years, one written test, one road test, and over 30 hours of lessons both in the classroom and on the road since I turned 16. How did my parents get their license? It was somewhere along the lines of two weeks with a learner’s and poof that was it. Graduating from high school has now become a similar experience. My mother remembers walking the stage and getting her diploma. Well, it’s not that simple anymore. Grade 12 students today seem to have a never-ending list of things to do. In the fall it starts with course selection. What do I need to take to achieve my goals, whether in post-secondary education, trades, or the work force? What are the grade point average requirements? The class prerequisites? The provincial exam protocol? After all of these decisions, which are made on a hazy prediction of what we teenagers think we want to do for the rest of our lives, we move on to October. With Halloween comes scholarship applications, and there are a lot of them. Simply searching for 10 to 20 applications that apply to you could take days,

if not weeks. And you can’t slack on these applications. Deadlines are deadlines. Each application may ask you for a handful of items including autobiographical essays, cover letters, transcripts, reference letters, proof of work and volunteer experience, and essays on various and seemingly random topics. One application may take a full week to prepare. Some even require presentations, interviews, and video projects, not to mention the nail biting anticipation that comes along with waiting for the results. As February rolls around, so does the deadlines for post-secondary applications. Early admissions start around Ja the 28th and if you apply early, there’s a better chance of getting accepted. But first you have to fill out the admission forms, release transcript information, self-report grades, and actually decide on which institute you would rather go to. That decision isn’t a simple one either. You have to think of transportation, costs, residence, and whether that college or university really is the right one for you. After all that, the postsecondary institution of your choice might send you a rejection letter. Then you’re back to square one. Now, after applying to numerous institutes and hopefully getting

accepted by at least one, the school year continues to fly by and other deadlines approach. Graduation fees, prom tickets, dry grad tickets, prom dresses, corsages, tux rentals, commencement tickets, outstanding textbook fees … the list goes on and on. While grads scramble to collect money from wherever they can, they’re scheduling prom appointments left , right and center. Boys need a tux fitting, they need to order corsages. Girls need hair appointments, including an extra ‘trial’ appointment, they need their nails and their make-up done, and all of this needs to be done the day of Prom while still leaving enough time for photos with family and ne friends. The organizational skills needed for one day at prom are mindblowing. Yet there’s still more. Ever present amongst all of these things, is the daunting prospect of grad transitions, something that my parents never had to do. Grad transitions is a 45-page package consisting of three sections: personal health, community connections, and career life. Within these sections are forms, tests, and budgets that all need to be filled out and centered around your future plans. Evidence of growth needs to be documented, volunteer and work experience shown, stress levels tested, and physi-

cal activity logs must be included, signed by a coach, teacher, or parent. Then, after all of this is collected, it needs to be presented to a counselor or teacher within the school. If you don’t, you don’t graduate. You don’t even graduate when you walk the stage at commencement since the ceremony is held before any final marks are published which means students have to wait until the summer break to receive their diploma in the mail. That’s a lot of stuff to deal with in less than eight months. This is even excluding any and all extra-curricular activities like plays, fundraisers, sports teams, and clubs. Most Grade 12 students now even manage to maintain a part-time job throughout the entire school year as well as the summer months. There are also university tours, residence applications, and enrollment appointments. Students have to organize their life for next year while still trying to live and breathe every moment of the present, trying to enjoy their last year in high school. We know we probably won’t see our lifelong friends everyday anymore. We know that we’ll probably have to figure out how to manage student loans, and find cheap basement suites with, luckily, a reasonably sound roommate. We know that our lives are going to change more drastically than ever before after this. And with all of these deadlines, chores, and events, is the fear and excitement of finally stepping out on our own. Maybe in ten years we’ll all look back and laugh at the stress and gray hairs that we acquired. I’m sad that this year is going to be over soon. A new chapter of my life is starting and I know I’m going to miss this one immensely. The stress of Grade 12 can be overwhelming, but when I walk the stage, I know it’ll be worth it. Maybe I’ll have a nervous breakdown one of these days, but at least I can say I did it. I think every Grade 12 student needs to remember that through good times and bad, we did it. And now the whole world is waiting for us.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, MAY 13, 2010

The Mission Chamber of Commerce

Clean Energy Act: A new economic generator Both developers and support services from the clean energy sector are members of IPPBC BY

MICHELLE FAVERO

n April 28 the B.C. government enacted the Clean Energy Act. Bill 17 builds upon British Columbia’s natural assets and sets the foundation for a new future of electrical self sufficiency and job creation. Within the Act are 16 specific energy objectives which expedite clean energy investments, protect B.C. ratepayers and strengthen environmental protection while promoting regional job creation. Premier Gordon Campbell sees the Act opening the way to a new age of economic growth and job creation built on B.C.’s unique competitive advantages. By establishing a Feed-In Tariff program to foster the development of emerging technologies and ensuring projects in the Clean Power Call will not be subject to unnecessary costly and lengthy processes before the B.C. Utilities Commission; the Act will provide renewable power producers the tools necessary to establish B.C. as a clean energy

Independent Power Producers (IPPs) currently supply 10 per cent of B.C.’s electrical energy.

powerhouse that enables economic growth and job creation in every region. Paul Kariya, executive director of the Independent Power Producers of BC (IPPBC) believes the legislation provides the clean power sector with greater certainty to help it plan for the

future. IPPBC has 320 members who include both developers and support services from the clean energy sector. Current IPP bids to BC Hydro could provide $3.8 billion of shovel ready project s with over 3,900 person years of construction employment.

A typical small hydro project (Run-of-River) costs the developer $15-150 million, takes two to 18 years to develop in the current system, two years to build and 40 years of operation until the water license expires. It can generate enough power for 3,000 to 30,000 homes.

Presently IPPs supply 10 per cent of B.C.’s electrical energy. BC Hydro’s Electricity Gap Study for Site C Stage One has identified a minimum 25 per cent gap in supply to B.C.’s forecasted demand by 2025. Renewables fit the aim of the Act’s climate change target of 90 per cent of B.C.’s electricity produced from clean renewable sources. In Mission, there are many IPP applications being pursued. Both geography and access to the grid through existing transmission systems give the area a competitive advantage in this sector. Most applications are runof-river similar to the recently completed Cloudworks Energy project on the north end of Stave Lake. This project was built during the recent downturn and provided several construction jobs for locals with construction giant Peter Kiewit as well as significant opportunities for local suppliers. To learn more about this sector, register for the Chamber lunch on May 20 at www.missionchamber. bc.ca

Litter hurts animals Animals can get their heads trapped in glass jars and metal cans when trying to lick out the contents. Animals can get entangled and killed or maimed in fishing lines, bags, and other debris that has been discarded carelessly. They can get mercury poisoning from batteries that are carelessly tossed out. Animals can get their heads stuck

in the plastic that holds six packs together. Broken glass can hurt animals too. Animals can get sick by eating rotten food that is thrown carelessly out the window (like fast food litter). Litter hurts animals. Do your part to protect the animals from the dangerous consequences of litter.

Local band set to play at Clarke Faber Drive returns home for concert Faber Drive is coming home for a concert later this month. The Mission band, formed in 2004, is made up of four members. Dave Faber and Jeremy Liddle have been a part of the group since the beginning, while Jordan Pritchett and Andrew Stricko joined last year. Faber’s responsibilities include lead vocals and rhythm guitar and Liddle plays bass and backup vocals. Prichett and Stricko also provide backup voices, and play lead guitar and drums respectively. Faber Drive, founded by Faber, captured a Vancouver audience in the 2005 Seeds contest put on by radio station 99.3 The Fox. The band won the contest and the ears of music lovers. Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger was one of Faber Drive’s first fans. He signed the Mission musicians to his record label and helped put out their first album Seven Second Surgery in 2007. Faber Drive went out to see the world, and its members are now coming home with another album, Can’t Keep A Secret, released six months ago on 604 Records. The first single, G-get Up and Dance, has already gone platinum in Canada. Other bands playing that night with Faber Drive are Jesse Labelle, The Latency and These Kids Wear Crowns.

Faber Drive, formed in Mission in 2004, will be playing on the Clarke stage on May 28. The concert is presented by Rock.It Boy Entertainment. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Whether on his own with a guitar, or standing in front of his band, Labelle can almost instantly connect with people. The song Perfect Accident, fronts his debut solo album and describes his philosophy on life. The Latency is another local act. The band’s first independent single, Tonight I Love You, is a popular hit

in high schools across the country. These Kids Wear Crowns is made up of six Lower Mainland guys who are working on becoming the new kings of pop. Their West Coast style and catchy upbeat electro-pop sounds earned them a spot on season two of MuchMusic’s reality show disBAND, and as a result, landed

them a record deal, recording sessions in Texas, and a tour in the USA and Canada later this year. Faber Drive and guests are in concert on Friday, May 28 at the Clarke Theatre. Tickes are on sale for $25 each (plus service charges) at all Ticketmaster outlets and online at www.ticketmaster.ca.

Shakespeare on MSS stage Mélanie Moreau (Julia), Alex Rake (Proteus), Ayla McChesney (Silvia), and Alex McCall (Valentine) are the leading couples in Mission Secondary’s production of The Two Gentlemen of Verona. This is the 13th year the school’s theatre department has put on a Shakespearean production. This light-hearted comedy is about two fickle young men who play at love with total disregard for the women concerned. Typical of Shakespeare, the young women are wiser of the two genders, and in the end “out” the young knaves at their game. The show is supported by memorable performances of clowns Speed (Courtney Sheppard) and Launce (Jill Corbett). Laurel Weiss is the Duchess of Milan and Briana Hertfort plays Antonia, the couples’ parents, who in the end are delighted with

MSS theatre students Caroline Doyle as the Hostess and Melanie Moreau as Sebastian in the school’s production of Shakespeare’s Two Gentlemen of Verona, playing this week. SUBMITTED PHOTO

the promise of a marriage. You don’t need to be an expert in Shakespearean English to enjoy this rollicky

romp portrayed by Mission’s ambitious actors. Director Gai Brown-Evans says the group prefers per-

forming comedies because they are easily understood and fun to wrestle with. Vancouver’s Bard on the

Beach actor Kyle Rideout spent a few hours working with the group last month and was impressed with the talent he found – it was well beyond his expectations of a high school acting troupe, said Evans-Brown. “We were duly flattered.” MSS alumnus Keith McQuade and Sammie Reeve help out as assistant director and stage manager. Costumes were designed by Helen Yannacopoulos and Dolly Moreau, and the set and advertising credit goes to David Evans. Tony Schoeppe is the sound tech for the show and Max Ulmer is the lighting tech. The Two Gentlemen of Verona will be performed May 13 to May 15 at Mission Secondary School. Tickets are available by calling the school at 604826-7191, or at the door contingent upon availability. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m.

START THE DAY RIGHT If you want to have a good day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it helps to start your day with a positive affirmation, such as: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today is going to be a great day,â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to be alive.â&#x20AC;? Better yet: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you God for giving me this wonderful day.â&#x20AC;? Whether we actually feel this way or not, saying it will help put us in a more positive frame of mind. It is well-established that the simple act of smiling activates certain neural pathways that make us feel happier, while the act of frowning activates pathways that can make us feel depressed. Jumping out of bed in the morning with a happy heart and a big smile on our face will make us feel happy and energetic, whereas moping around and mumbling about how lousy we feel will understandably make us feel lousy, and perhaps depressed. We must act first, and then the appropriate feeling will come, not the other way around. That is, if we want to be energetic, we should start moving and acting energetically. If we sit around waiting for the energetic felling to come, we will probably be disappointed. We should start acting happy and energetic, and soon we will discover that we truly are. A Cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a Downcast pirit dries up the bones. -R.S.V. Proverbs 17:22
