Low sockeye run forecast for Fraser No openings expected for commercial

BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Commercial fishermen shouldn’t count on putting a net in the Fraser River this summer.

Pre-season estimates of this year’s sockeye salmon run suggest it’s unlikely enough fish will return to the Fraser for fishery managers to approve a commercial catch.

Pacific Salmon Commission chief biologist Mike Lapointe said 1.2 million to 3.8 million sockeye are forecast to return.

That’s down from a run of five million last year and way down from the huge 2010 run of 30 million sockeye, believed to be a rare anomaly.

“It’s a fairly bleak outlook,” Lapointe said.

He admitted salmon run forecasts have been notoriously inaccurate in recent years, but said the small number of salmon that spawned in 2008 dictates that this year’s return will not be large.

“The expectation is very low,” he said.

A run of 2.1 million sockeye – the mid-point of the forecast for this year – would leave only one million harvestable sockeye after spawning requirements.

And Lapointe said that would be entirely allocated to First Nations, who get priority ahead of all other users for food, social and ceremonial purposes, leaving none available for any commercial catch.

The forecast estimates there’s a 10 per cent chance the run could exceed 3.8 million, and the same probability that it could be less than 1.2 million.

Most sockeye are expected to come in earlytimed runs.

With a near-record snowpack still to melt in the Interior, Lapointe said there’s concern that returning sockeye will struggle to get upstream against a strong freshet in the Fraser and its tributaries.

A dismal 2009 return, far below forecast, led the federal government to appoint the Cohen Commission to look into a long-term decline in Fraser sockeye.

PILOT WASTE PROJECT The municipality is studying whether it would be feasible to implement a waste diversion plan for businesses.

District undertakes zero waste study

BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

Mission council has approved partnering with a private company to explore diverting garbage produced in institutional, commercial and industrial sectors (ICI).

Go 2 Zero Waste Inc. (G2ZW) and the municipality would conduct a $65,000 feasibility study, of which $30,000 would be ponied up by G2ZW. The business model — the first of its kind in B.C. — is based on collecting ICI waste materials in a single truck with a three bin system.

Garbage, recycling and compost is separated, weighed as they are dumped in the truck, and then transported.

Compost can be added to the existing residential compost, while recycling would be sent offsite, and garbage would be sorted and made into a plasticbased fuel product. This fuel would then be sold to authorized buyers, resulting in a net zero waste model.

The study will show the district what its ICI sector produces in terms of waste, and can help in applying for other government grants, said Mission’s environmental services manager, Mike Younie.

“I was opposed to this in the past because the entire cost was going to

be borne by the District of Mission,” said Mayor Ted Adlem.

Coun. Nelson Tilbury expressed skepticism companies would want to pay the additional costs of waste diversion.

“We don’t even know if the program’s going to

work. It’s been suggested that business owners would have to tack a little bit extra onto their wares to support this,” he said.

Younie said the response from the ICI sector will be dependent on the business model that

comes from the study, but added in the past six years the district has received numerous requests from ICI businesses for waste diversion help.

Adlem said the project could work for restaurants which could com-

post up to 80 per cent of their waste.

The proposal may also provide a contrast to the Metro Vancouver incineration plan that has concerned several Fraser Valley municipalities about air quality. If successful, Mission could

become a destination point for regional ICI waste diversion, offsetting an expected decline in landfill tipping revenue.

Of Mission’s $35,000 contribution, the Fraser Valley Regional District has expressed interest

in contributing $5,000 to the project, while the district will apply to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ Green Municipal Fund and the province’s Infrastructure Planning Grant program to cover $17,500 of the remaining cost.

Salvage logging raises risk of Fraser flood: expert Rapid runoff, scoured silt pose threats downstream

BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

The Fraser River is at risk of much more frequent and devastating floods because of the rapid pace of logging in the B.C. Interior to salvage vast stands of beetle-killed timber, according to a UBC researcher.

Younes Alila, an associate professor of forest hydrology, says the provincial government must take a hard look at the downstream threat from the high rate of logging.

“The public needs to know how much they’re at risk so they are prepared,” he said. “People’s lives are at stake. Economic disruption is at stake.”

Alila looked at small tributary drainages in the Interior and found much faster rates of runoff in areas that have

been heavily logged in response to the mountain pine beetle epidemic.

“The 100-year flood may come once in 20 years,” Alila said. “It could easily become five times as frequent.”

He cannot say with certainty that his findings from smaller upcountry tributaries translate directly to more risk of the mainstem Fraser flooding in the Lower Mainland.

But much of the runoff that ends up going through the lower Fraser Valley originates in snow melting in the upper Fraser, Nechako or Cariboo — areas of the watershed heavily hit by the beetle where logging crews have been authorized to cut at unsustainably high levels so wood isn’t wasted.

Alila said the upper 60 per cent of the Fraser basin is also particularly sensitive to rapid runoff from logging because much of the region has relatively flat, subdued topography.

The snowpack melts faster in logged areas because there are fewer trees to shade and slow the melt, he said.

Less water is absorbed by tree roots or evaporates due to snow being held

aloft in branches.

Snow in more mountainous areas tends to melt at different rates because of the differing elevations and aspects, but on flatter terrain the melt is more synchronized and flooding can be much worse.

The Nechako and upper Fraser basins are also the ones where snowpack levels this spring are 50 per cent above

normal, contributing to an elevated risk of flooding throughout the watershed, according to the River Forecast Centre.

Alila said more intense, heavy runoff in the Interior due to salvage logging will also result in more scouring of channels throughout the watershed, increasing the amount of silt and sediment ultimately deposited in the lower Fraser.

More silt effectively raises the riverbed in the Lower Mainland and reduces the Fraser’s capacity before dikes are overtopped.

Alila said the province has known about the threat since at least 2006, when a previous study for the Forest Practices Board first raised the potential for rapid runoff.

He argues the province should reduce salvage logging or do it more selectively, and ensure logged areas are rapidly replanted to quickly provide shade.

Dave Maloney, a forest water management officer for the province, said Alila’s findings were reviewed by the forests ministry.

He did not disagree with the research – noting hydrologists have previously said runoff in beetle-infested areas is a concern – but added Alila focused on Baker Creek, a particularly flat watershed in the Quesnel area that may have amplified his results.

Maloney said forest companies are responsible for weighing the risks of flooding from their operations and taking steps to mitigate it.

“The chief forester came out and provided guidance to the licensees regarding hydrologic risk and where they should focus their harvesting in areas with high densities of pine.”

More than 300,000 people live on the lower Fraser’s floodplain, according to the Fraser Basin Council, and a major flood would cause billions of dollars in damage along with possible loss of lives and injuries.

It estimates there’s a one-in-three chance that a flood as big as the two largest on record – in 1894 and 1948 – will strike within the next 50 years.

“A major flood today would result in severe social, economic and environmental impacts,” the council says.

Modernized PST to return in April 2013

Correction The athlete on the front page of the May 10 Record was Hyatt Smith.

We apologize for the error.

BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

The B.C. government has tabled its long-awaited legislation to kill the harmonized sales tax and

return to the old provincial sales tax, with some modernization to make it easier for small businesses to administer and pay the tax.

Finance Minister Kevin

7 5 7 6 G r a n d S t r e e t M i s s i o n B C V2V 3T1

Falcon said Monday the PST will return as scheduled in April 2013, with exemptions for haircuts, restaurant meals, bicycles, movie tickets, gym memberships and all the other rules it had before.

Falcon said the only sales tax breaks that won’t return are temporary exemptions that would have expired by now, including energyconserving windows and appliances, and fuel-efficient cars.

Tax changes that were made along with the HST will be maintained. That

Now pleased to offer

includes a 12-per-cent provincial tax on privately sold used cars, making the tax equal to that paid at a car dealership.

Provincial tobacco taxes were increased seven per cent when the HST came in, and that tax will continue. Liquor taxes will also be adjusted to keep retail prices the same as they are now.

NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston said the legislation tabled Monday is a relatively simple, with regulations listing the many rules and exemptions still to come

this fall so businesses can prepare for next spring.

The government expects to save about $9 million a year in administration costs by using a new online registration and payment system for business, which B.C. expects to administer with about 100 fewer staff. Businesses will have to set up their computers to comply, with software expected to cost them about $1,000.

Low-income families will give up a $230-perperson rebate that was

introduced to offset the higher costs of HST to consumers, including children. As of April 2013, the PST rebate will resume, paying $75 per single adult with an income of $15,000 or less, and $75 per parent for families with an income of $18,000 or less.

Falcon noted an independent panel found the end of the HST will mean $520 million less revenue the B.C. treasury next year, $645 million less the following year and increasing lost revenue after that.

The annual Silverdale Garage Sale was held at the community hall last weekend.

Silverdale Hall facing uncertain future

BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

The venerable Silverdale Hall is running out of money and could close its doors.

According to Silverdale Community Centre Association president Mike Scudder, the reserves have been nearly drained and the odd event scheduled in the hall is keeping the lights on.

“We are in dire straits,”

he said Monday. The annual Silverdale Garage Sale that was held over the weekend has helped out, and the amount raised is enough to pay the bills for another month. But aside from that, there is one event coming up, and not much else.

The association has been struggling for a year, said Scudder, and a combination of high utility costs, the recent economic downturn,

and a current penchant for people to choose less “rustic” venues has seen fewer groups seek out the hall for rental.

Additionally, the catering work has dried up, he added, due to the aging cadre of volunteer caterers who are unable to help out as they once did.

“I’ll move heaven and Earth to make sure [it doesn’t close], but we face

some difficulties come fall,” he said.

The situation may be turning around, though.

Fifty new people have signed on as members thanks to the efforts of Dale Clark, and Scudder has been in contact with BC Hydro and is trying to find a way that the crews working on the dam upgrades could utilize the hall.

Honourary member Mike

Donatelli helped bring the hall to life in 1952 and has seen how local residents can galvanize around the building.

“We’ve got to stir up the community. I think we need some new blood in the hall” and for people to get involved. “I think it can happen again,” he said.

The community centre can hold 200 people, has a fullsize kitchen and people can

now bring in their own caterers, something that was verboten for years.

The tight-knit nature of areas such as Silverdale make the hall still relevant, according to Scudder, and the site has been a well-established gathering place for everything from all-candidates meetings, public hearings, flu shots, and more.

Cycling4Diversity starts May 22 at Griner Park

BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

It started with a party.

Mission’s Ken Herar was aiming to attend a party last year until he was told no Indo-Canadians could attend because “they cause too much trouble.”

The lifelong local community member was equally incensed and saddened, and set out to do something to change people’s attitudes towards others.

The result is Cycling4Diversity, now in its second year. The May 22-25 voyage starts next Tuesday morning in Mission at Griner Park, and includes 40 stops at schools and community gathering places in nine cities, culminating in the final stop at the B.C. Legislature where the provincial government has announced Cycling for Diversity Week.

There are seven core riders who will do the entire journey, and a handful of others will join the ride in their respective cities and only do a leg.

Building bridges of dialogue, one city at a time, is this year’s theme, said Herar and Sarina Derksen-Di Martino, executive coordinator.

Talking to your neighbours or community members who are from a different ethnicity is the core of the ride’s message.

“We need to create more inter-cultural activities

and make more friends,” said Herar.

Derksen-Di Martino was involved last year in organizing ride support and awareness, and came formally onboard after discussions with Herar.

She is passionate about the ride because of the increasing isolation she sees across the region that follow racial lines. People who move to the district have naturally started to form links with others of a similar background.

“It’s a safety net, and we understand that. But we encourage people to break that [segregation] and approach others,” she said. “We’re not asking people to change their cultures, but just to get out and interact.”

“In 20 years we won’t be talking about diversity, but how to combat racism,” said Herar. Key to the attitude change is creating events with the youth, especially in sports. As well, getting seniors from all cultures to mingle would make a difference.

“I think any language barriers could be overcome,” said Herar. “Mission is a role model community. It’s small, and there’s lots of things to get involved in.”

The May 22 Mission kick off event is at Griner Park on Cherry Avenue. A ceremonial tree replanting, to replace the one planted last year that was vandalized, starts at 8 a.m.

Ken Herar sits next to the bike he will use in this year’s Cycling4Diversity.

OPINION

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

Education costs Free cradle-to-grave public education would be a great idea if we could afford it.

Education is expensive and, in some cases, students should be expected to pay for it. No one would quibble about the benefits of free public K-to12 education and post-secondary school should be subsidized to guarantee a well-educated and skilled work force.

But there may be times when free tuition doesn’t accomplish the goals set out by the citizens who have to pay for it and, after experimenting with the Education Guarantee, the B.C. government has figured this out.

After four years of providing free tuition to graduated adults seeking to upgrade their high school education, the province is now whittling down the number of courses it will offer at no charge. More specifically, the province has determined that it will only pay for literacy, math and competency courses for students learning English as a second language and English 12, Biology 12, Math 11 and 12, Chemistry 11 and Physics 11.

The province has also moved to withhold partial funding unless courses are completed, and while we don’t know all the details — and there could be some costly fine print for school districts unless attention is paid to this issue — the principle is sound.

Taxpayers should only pay for courses that people sign up for and complete.

Adding English 11, Communications 11 and 12, Physics 12, and Chemistry 12 to the list of free core courses is also a good idea because they, too, are needed for university or college.

But until educators are prepared to work for free, students will have to contribute in some way to their own education.

Ferry fleet sails into storm T

he B.C. government has rolled out its plan to reform BC Ferries, continuing the structural and cultural shift that started when the Crown corporation was quasi-privatized in the early years of BC Liberal rule.

For weeks, Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom has been signaling there is bad news to come. Sparring with the NDP in question period, he has bluntly and repeatedly said the days of fully staffed vessels sailing with a third (or less) of their capacity are coming to an end.

Tabling legislation to give the ferry commissioner new powers over service levels as well as fares, Lekstrom revealed $80 million worth of sugar to help the tough medicine go down over the next four years. That’s on top of the $150 million annual subsidy.

Quadra Island politician Jim Abram was first out with the predictable view of the Gulf Islands elite, dismissing this sum as paltry. It’s difficult to capture how selfcentred and insulting this is,

but I’ll try.

Consider that the B.C. transportation ministry spent $460 million last year on highway operations. This year’s operating subsidy to coastal ferries is approaching $200 million, nearly half of that. And increasingly, it goes to subsidize getaways for those who choose isolation for its own sake.

Basic financial information also exposes the falsity of NDP ferry critic Garry Coons’ one-note critique.

It’s part of the highway system, To he constantly says, comparing empty ferries with empty roads while ignoring the mandatory ferry staff and other costs.

This fiscal-fantasy policy implies another huge increase in subsidy, much of it a transfer from working people to the idle rich who can afford Gulf Islands real estate. Coons can’t say how much, probably because he

has no idea.

A key legislative change will allow BC Ferries to use revenues from its profitable main routes to subsidize little-used runs. This would be even more important if those revenues hadn’t been squandered. And no, I’m not talking about the “fast ferries.”

The story is detailed in Head On!, a 2004 book by former B.C. deputy highways minister R.G. Harvey. He describes how the Mike Harcourt government completed the “gross error” of building m a new terminal at Duke Point, near Nanaimo.

This run was to take truck and other traffic from congested Horseshoe Bay to the mid-Island from Tsawwassen. An alternative route from Richmond to Gabriola Island, with bridges to Vancouver Island, had been quietly scuttled after the W.A.C. Bennett government was defeated by

B.C. Views

Fletcher

the NDP’s Dave Barrett in 1972.

On a map, it’s clear this would have been the shortest route. Harvey says it would have cut travel time by half, and likely replaced the congested Horseshoe Bay dock.

But Barrett would have had to tell his Nanaimo ferry union supporters that they were losing half their work hours.

Tsawwassen to Duke Point is 65 km, compared to 54 km from Horseshoe Bay to Departure Bay. A ferry worker’s shift includes two round trips and loading time.

On the Duke Point run this meant at least eight and a half hours, “thus ensuring the crew at least one hour at double time daily and often more,” Harvey writes. “Later it became a scheduled overtime route.”

Something to keep in mind as Adrian Dix and his crew of union bosses prepare to take the helm.

YOUR VIEWS

More walking trails, Keep natural areas intact please, but leave drive-thru ban alone Editor, The Record: It was more than a little surreal to see in the May 10 Mission Record two separate reports featuring musings by our mayor.

One dealing with the notion of ending the district moratorium on drive-thru operations in commercial enterprises, and the second a call specifically by the mayor, outlining a strategy to make the District of Mission healthier by encouraging walking trail development and eco-tourism expansion.

I can’t imagine that I am the only Mission resident to find these two ideas to be quite at odds with each other.

I fully support the notion of encouraging Mission as an eco-tourist destination. I walk in Mission almost every day. I am also an asthma sufferer, and my condition is significantly affected by the quality of

the air I breathe.

Discontinuing drivethru business, with the accompanying engine idling and emissions, may be only a small part of the air quality picture, but continuing the moratorium certainly would be consistent with an overall strategy of healthier living and with encouraging a reputation of Mission being an ecofriendly area.

If I were to bet on the economic benefits of encouraging eco-tourism over the benefits of encouraging drive thru services, my bet would be that the former represents a much more significant economic flow into the community than the latter. Perhaps the subject ought to be systematically studied.

We know that air shed quality is a major interest for Fraser Valley residents. One need only

look to the resistance there was in the power plant at Sumas and to current plans by Metro Vancouver to incinerate trash. Our case in resisting such polluting undertakings looks quite disingenuous in the face of ideas such as allowing more drive thru operations, and I might add, the ongoing permissions for open burning some parts of the District of Mission.

I will conclude with the mayor’s apparent assertion that automobile emissions are no longer an issue because most people have gotten rid of their gas guzzlers. This makes me wonder if the mayor lives in a different Mission than the one in which I live? Or perhaps he doesn’t walk round the streets of Mission as often as I do.

Don Chapman Mission

Editor, The Record: Many of us are concerned about various communities getting on the bandwagon of walking trails, usually through green spaces not previously intruded upon by humans.

This is not a healthy alternative for citizens who used to have backyards for their kids and neighbourhood friends while parents had coffee on the patio, and a public park was just down the street.

Many years ago, I recall that my backyard in Burnaby was small, as was the house, but the backyard was half the size of the lot. We

didn’t have to get in our car and drive to a walking trail so we could get some outdoor exercise.

A small vegetable garden and some lawn cutting took care of that, or alternatively, we could use the local park for a running track and other amenities.

Walking trails are possibly a distraction for the fact that community parks are not being provided as they should be, according to a stipulation that developers were to use a certain percentage of the area of new developments for a park.

In some cases, such percentage was not suf-

District of Mission healthier and greener by expanding trails and forest access.

However, we seriously question Mayor Ted Adlem’s own commitment to such initiatives by being such a vocal opponent of the repealing the drive thru ban bylaw. We will have 11 drive thru restaurants, already too many in our opinion.

Josh and Erin Lindstrom Mission

alternate city planning with reasonable-sized housing and a backyard for family activities, along with a small park within walking distance, rather than allowing huge houses to use up most of the lot area.

If nothing different is offered or prescribed by zoning qualifications, then we will continue with the same resulting problems including health, quality of family life, higher building costs and intrusion of wild animals to name just a few.

However, to establish walking trails into pristine areas is not the answer. Let’s not destroy what little is left.

Lila Rauh Mission

Free soil a great Earth Day event Editor, The Record: We’d like to thank the mayor, council and district staff for allowing us to “get the dirt” on Mission.

On April 22, in conjunction with other Earth Day recognition activities, compost from the Rot Pot program was available for free from the Mission Landfill. Judging by the line up when we arrived at

9:45 a.m., the event was very popular.

District staff were efficient in herding us through to a very large mound of dark, rich compost. It was quite amazing to realize this black mini-mountain came from the deposits of our little backyard Rot Pots.

The atmosphere was festive as individuals and families filled their

Plenty of drive-thrus YOUR EYES in Mission already Editor, The Record: We’re wondering if the mayor and council are aware of the ridiculous and contradictory message they are sending the community they serve by, on one hand, striving to increase the number of fast food drive thrus while on the other, patting themselves on the back for apparently promoting a healthier Mission as the Fraser Valley’s walking capital.

We certainly support the mayor and council’s efforts in making the

ficient or reasonable, so instead a payment, or cash in lieu, would be made to the city. Apparently those amounts were to be combined and when sufficient, a local park would be created for the new inhabitants.

Another negative result from the walking trails idea is the litter which will be dropped along the way, and the trails’ probable use by bikes, as well as the intrusion by bears and other animals who will take advantage of the trails to more easily come into town.

Possibly one of the important issues to be addressed is the lack of

Saloon girls, rough and tough cowboys, outlaws and sherriffs will be converging in Mission this weekend as the local rod and gun club fits together the final pieces for the annual cowboy shoot.

A blend of theatre and target sports, The Shoot Out at the Ridge, Villains of the Old West, draws dozens of competitors from across the Pacific Northwest to Mission May 18-20.

Dressed up in their finest vintage duds, and sporting antique or replica period-appropriate firearms, organizer Ron Tarnawski, aka Preacher Flynn T. Locke, said the event commandeers the entire club, and features five locations with three stages set up, and a number of targets.

Each stop has different story lines, he said. Tarnawski has penned one scenario in which Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid blow up a safe,

CALENDAR

and then engage in a duel with the Pinkertons.

A different story sees train passengers defending themselves against Cassidy and his sidekick.

Competitors are scored on speed and accuracy, he added, and use pistols, revolvers, rifles and shotguns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different discipline. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an action-shooting sport.â&#x20AC;?

Tarnawski got involved three years ago when his wife accompanied him to the range, and some members put the holsters on her and guided her to the targets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was hooked.â&#x20AC;?

Now, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Georgia Bankâ&#x20AC;? makes her own costumes and competes alongside her husband.

Tarnawski said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a highly social event and draws a number of families.

Everyone is invited to come check out the competition, but bring your own eye/ear protection.

Nicole Parke (left) and Shelby Lund, both UFV students from Mission, are in Antigua during May to teach children life lessons through sports activities.

The experience is designed to help not only the children, but also students planning on a teaching career.

ASHLEY WRAY PHOTOS

Mission UFV students teaching in Antigua

BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

A pair of Mission students are among 18 from the University of the Fraser Valley currently visiting the tiny Caribbean island of Antigua to mentor primary school children about life skills.

Nicole Parke, who graduated from Mission secondary, and Shelby Lund, a Hatzic secondary alumni, are both on their second visit of the Champions for Health Promoting Schools program.

Led by UFV instructor Joanna Sheppard, kinesiology and physical education students visit classrooms, engaging in sporting activities that incorporate life skills into the lessons.

The students are divided into pairs between six schools and teach four, 45-minute life lessons daily, such as health education, critical thinking, and goal-setting.

Parke is in charge of planning, running and organizing an event called the Unity Games, similar to Sports Day in Canada. Antiguan children visit a series of stations that focuses on a different lifeskill activity.

“We simply run through an activity and then ask how the students

felt through the decision-making process,” said Parke. “After they complete the task, we bring them together and go over what they did. We’ll ask them what they learned, and how can they apply that to real life.”

Parke says she’s always loved travelling and teaching, so the opportunity to combine both was irresistible.

Lund, who has been accepted into UFV’s teaching program for September, is using the experience to further her education career.

“What I want to gain from this is more experience teaching children and building my skills and abilities so that I can become the best educator I can be,” she said.

Lund and Parke visit schools not only to teach lessons, but play with the children during break and lunch. They’ve brought soccer balls and footballs, skipping

rope and more, but the students aren’t the only ones learning as the children have taught Lund how to play cricket.

Both Mission students have had experience volunteering locally before their trip. Parke has donated her time at MEI Elementary in Abbotsford, while Lund has been to Edwin S. Richards Elementary School. Both have also volunteered at their former high schools.

Parke says learning methods and styles are similar in both countries, with notable differences.

“Antigua as a culture is very touchy-feely, so at school you have tons of kids running up to you wanting hugs and that doesn’t happen in Canada.”

While the program is designed primarily to help children in Antigua, it also aids the UFV students to decide whether to pursue a career in health education, while nurturing a sense of pride and purpose.

“I want to be able to represent the program well and give it a good influence and reputation on the island and in Canada,” said Lund.

Mosquito control program started The Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) launched its mosquito control program for the 2012 season in late April.

Rising river levels from warmer weather and melting snow have triggered the development of mosquito larvae in low-lying areas along the Fraser River.

With above-normal snow packs through most of the province, higher spring runoff volume is expected, which could bring more mosquitoes.

The FVRD’s mosquito control contractor, Morrow Bioscience Ltd., has been monitoring, mapping and treating new and known mosquito development sites. This activity will continue until the end of the season, with efforts increasing as river levels rise.

Floodwater sites are treated with a non-toxic bacterial larvicide — which is environmentally friendly — that specifically targets the mosquito in its larval stage before it can fly. The FVRD does not conduct fogging or spraying of chemicals that kill flying adult mosquitoes.

Cedar Valley Manor is selling quickly and it is easy to see why.

The Mission Association for Seniors Housing (MASH) has a new project on the go. After successfully developing and operating The Cedars, MASH is now developing Cedar Valley Manor, a life lease for independent seniors.

Cedar Valley Manor has been purposely designed for seniors in Mission who want to downsize but who are also looking for a warm and supportive community where life is simple.

As Judith Ray, the President of MASH says: “Residents can live maintenance free at Cedar Valley Manor. Here they will be able to carry on living in the community they love without having to worry about the yard, snow removal, and the upkeep of their house. And as a Life Lease,” she continues “Mission seniors will have their financial interests secured and looked after as well.”

Many people have been wondering about the “Life Lease” model used at Cedar Valley Manor, and as explained by Kate Mancer, Director of Cedar Valley Manor: “Life Lease is a form of tenure perfectly suited to seniors. It allows them

to securely use the equity built up after years of home ownership and provides a wonderful sense of community.”

In a Life Lease the resident pays an upfront cost, or “entrance fee,” which is used to pay for the construction of the building, plus a monthly fee which includes general building upkeep and replacement reserves. Taxes are extra but life lease residents qualify for the Homeowner Grant. When people move out, they get 95% of their money back— with no worries about the real estate market and estate planning is so simple.

Life lease residents don’t have to worry about management concerns, or being part of a strata council—all of that is looked after by a trusted community-based non-profit organization. Residents know their interests are being looked after by a group whose sole purpose is to provide good quality affordable housing for the seniors of Mission. The MASH mission statement sums it all up perfectly: “Caring for Those Who Cared for Us.”

Tribal elder walks for her people

Mission Record

The rain relentlessly pursued Florence Thomas as she walked along the side of Lougheed Highway, passing cars slowed partly in curiosity and partly because a Ridge Meadows RCMP cruiser’s cherries flashed as escort.

The 66-year-old greatgrandmother made the 20-kilometre trek from Albion to Mission recently to symbolize the struggle of her people, the Whonnock tribe, whom she says have been neglected and forgotten.

The Whonnock used to preside over 2,000 acres from Alouette to Stave, and south to the north bank of the Fraser. They now exist on a 92-acre reserve with three other parcels of land administered by the Kwantlen, whom Florence says largely ignores their plight. The Whonnock used to be independent, but were merged with the Fort Langley tribe under the Kwantlen umbrella in 1929.

“My walk of hope is a brighter future for all my families who are homeless today. Not homeless like on the street, but we haven’t had a house built on Whonnock reserve for over 20 years,” said Florence.

No funds available to rebuild residences: Thomas From TRIBAL Page 14

without a house since 2003, when health inspectors condemned it because of mold. She was placed into native

housing but was forced to leave because she had too many grandchildren living with her.

With four daughters, four sons, 27 grandchildren and eight great-

grandchildren, Florence has a large family, many of whom struggle to survive on and off the reserve.

In Halkomelem, Whonnock (pronounced

“honnock”) means a place where many frogs make thunderous noise, according to Florence’s eldest son and chief, Robert Thomas.

Thomas, 42, goes by

the hereditary name Xatsten and estimates there are 60-80 people remaining in their tribe. He, too, is “homeless,” after his house burned down last year and there are no

funds to replace it.

“I understand where my mother’s coming from because at her age she shouldn’t be homeless like this,” said Robert.

Living off a pension, Florence says she doesn’t have enough money to buy a new home, and the Whonnock pay the Kwantlen what little they have.

She said when she returned to her home with bleach to try and kill the mold, it had been stripped of anything useful (doors and sinks), and any possessions left behind were gone. The house, made mostly of wood, later burned down.

Florence, whose aboriginal name is Quayna-wit, grew up in both modern-day Maple Ridge and Mission. As a child she was seized by the state and placed in Mission’s St. Mary’s Residential School for Indians at Heritage Park for six years.

It was a time when the First Nations peoples were not allowed to participate in their traditional ways. She feels the Whonnock are still deprived of that right today.

“The ultimate goal here is to reestablish our footprints back on our traditional territory and our lands so that we can live again and live the way we used to. The old people say if you don’t know your history, you’re lost,” said Robert.

Florence called her April 30 journey her “walk of hope.” It is a hope that someone, somewhere, will come to the aid of her people.

Calls to the Kwantlen First Nation were not returned by The Record’s press time.

Abbotsford-Mission water talks resume May 24 The Abbotsford/Mission Water and Sewer Commission (AMWSC) is hosting a public meeting at the Leisure Centre May 24 from 6-8 p.m. to discuss the municipalities’ joint water system needs.

AMWSC members and staff will be available to speak about water source options and conservation programs.

This is the fifth of six meetings that have taken

place over the past few weeks, and the final one held in Mission.

Attendees will be handed a pad of sticky notes when they come to the meeting, which can then be posted on boards around the room, explained Tracy Kyle, Abbotsford’s director of water. The notes are kept from each meeting, allowing people to see the comments and suggestions already made.

Kyle said the AMWSC is hoping to gather information, and collect and share ideas that may determine the future of the water system.

Kyle said another public meeting will take place sometime in June to present all of the ideas

and comments received during the previous information sessions. The water commission will then be presented with a report based on those meetings in July.

The AMWSC maintains the bulk of the water supply system

which includes two surface sources — Cannel Lake and Norrish Creek — and the treatment systems at each source, and the trunk water mains from these sources to the District of Mission water system.

• Must attend AGM to vote. Check-in with ID. • At check-in: Agenda, 2012 Budget, 2011 Financial Statements, Ministry’s voter eligibility directive, voting slips.

• Due to term expiry 3 Trustee positions up for election this year: Lake(1); Dewdney (1) and Hatzic Prairie (1) The board of Trustees is pleased to advise Dewdney Area Improvement District (DAID) rate-payers that the Federal and Provincial Governments have agreed, subject to required regulatory approvals, to provide 66% of the funding required to construct a new pump station and construct various other works that are expected to improve drainage in Hatzic Prairie, improve Äsh access and improve recreational usage of Hatzic Lake. Construction of the proposed pump station and related works is scheduled to be completed during 2013 and the total estimated costs are $4,519,500. The Improvement District has approximately 50% of the funds required to meet DAID’s portion of planned expenditures. To fully Änance the proposed capital works the Board of Trustees have approved a Bylaw authorizing the Improvement District to borrow up to $750,000 which combined with available funds will meet DAID’s portion of the costs of the planned new pump station and costs of various other works. The Board of Trustees have estimated that annual repayment costs of the proposed loan (estimated at $50,000 per annum based on a 20 year amortization) will be offset by the fact that the annual budget will no longer include an allocation of approximately $50,000 for engineering studies and that as a result Trustees do not anticipate a requirement to increase the diking tax mill rate at this time. A Resolution which will be put forward at the AGM is as follows: “The ratepayers of Dewdney Area Improvement District hereby approve for borrowing $750,000 to assist in Änancing the new pump station and to construct other various other works that will improve drainage in Hatzic Prairie and improve recreational usage of Hatzic Lake.”

The province is promising $122 million for seismic upgrades at 14 high priority schools, while nearly 140 other schools also deemed highly vulnerable in a major earthquake will wait in line behind them, including Mission secondary.

The projects were picked from most-recent district capital plans and represent top-ranked projects based on an updated assessment of seismic safety risk, according to the province.

But they represent less than 10 per cent of the 152 high-priority schools now identified on a revised list for upgrades under the School Seismic Mitigation Program.

The estimated cost of repairs to all high-priority schools is pegged at $1.3 billion.

Some old schools slated for upgrades were built more than a half century ago when seismic risks weren’t well understood.

“This is the next step in our ongoing and comprehensive program to make B.C. schools safe in the event of a major earthquake,” Education Minister George Abbott said.

A technical team led by the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of B.C. have been working to refine risk assessments and response strategies at UBC’s Earthquake Engineering Research Facility.

“Since the onset of the Seismic Mitigation Program in 2005, we have learned more about the nature of earthquakes, how structures behave during these kinds of events, and how to predict their behaviour,” facility director Carlos Ventura said.

The province is exploring options to provide more money for non-structural safety improvement at medium- and low-ranked schools starting in 2013.

B.C. has spent $790 million on school seismic upgrades over the past decade.

So far, work is either beginning, underway or complete on 137 seismic upgrade projects across the province.

Motorcyclist collides with tractor trailer driven by Mission man A 64-year-old Langley man is in critical but stable condition after crashing into and being run over by a tractor trailer unit near Bridal Falls.

“This motorcycle operator is extremely lucky to be alive,” said Sgt. Peter Thiessen of the Lower Main-

land District RCMP. He urged motorcyclists to watch their speed and be aware of their surroundings at all times.

Thiessen said that shortly after 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, (May 13), a black 1982 Honda motorcycle trav-

eling west on Highway 1 took the Highway 9 off ramp near Bridal Falls.

“The motorcycle approached the stop sign at the intersection of the Highway 1 off ramp and Highway 9 and failed to stop, crashing into

a northbound tractor trailer, hitting the passenger side fuel tank and then being run over by the tractor trailer,” Thiessen said.

The man, who has not been named, was airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital.

The tractor trailer unit, a blue 2007 Western Star Conventional pulling a white 2010 Great Dane Reefer trailer, was driven by a 43-year-old Mission resident.

Fraser Valley Traffic Services are investigating.

FHA makes up with Fraser Valley regional hospital directors

BY ROBERT FREEMAN Black Press

A $1.2 million funding request by the Fraser Health Authority appears back on track after meetings with the Fraser Valley Regional Hospital District (FVRHD).

“There’s now vastly improved communications,” John Smith, the hospital district’s vice chairman, said Monday.

“They certainly got the message, and I have no doubt they will be providing us with all the answers we need.”

Smith had earlier accused the FHA of treating the hospital district as a “cash cow” a treatment that seemed to reach a breaking point in February when a $1.2 million funding request arrived at the FVRHD board.

But hospital board director voted to table the request until FHA president Nigel Murray agreed to meet with the board to discuss the “serious communication breakdown.”

Murray and FHA financial systems director Brenda Ligett met behind closed doors with FVRHD directors at the April 24 board meeting.

Hospital board chairman Chuck Stam later told Black Press he recognized when he became chairman in December that the two organizations had not been communicating their “vision” of the relationship.

Stam said after meeting with FVRHD staff it was decided that “we’re not doing anything until we get these two visions on track.”

The hospital district contributes a share of the capital costs of equipment and facilities needed by hospitals in the Fraser Valley region, such as the $35 million cost of expanding the emergency room at Chilliwack General Hospital.

But it appears the FHA has not been treating the hospital district as a full partner in delivering health services in the Fraser Valley.

“We needed meaningful input into their decisions before the fact,” Smith said. “We needed

Follow us on

Twitter

to be heard and treated as a partner.”

He said the relationship had been deteriorating for a number of years and “was on rocky ground,

through no fault of ours.”

But after several meetings with Murray, Smith praised the chairman’s “we’re-going-to-fix-it” attitude.

“He demonstrated good faith, and seems to genuinely and sincerely want to address the serious communication breakdown,” Smith said.

The hospital board will vote on the $1.2 million funding request at a later meeting. The request is 40 per cent of the FHA’s total $2.9

million in capital costs for the region.

The list of equipment needs also included a request for $350,000 to complete the third

phase of electrical system upgrades at Mission Memorial Hospital, and a total $866,350 for equipment projects under $100,000.

Canadians are living longer and costs for the Old Age Security (OAS) are rising.

On April 1, 2023 the Government of Canada plans to start raising the age of eligibility for OAS and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) from 65 to 67.*

What does this mean for you?

54 or older as of March 31, 2012

You may still obtain OAS/GIS at age 65

53 or younger as of March 31, 2012

The age of eligibility for OAS/GIS will change gradually between 2023 and 2029

Starting in July 2013, Canadians who are eligible for, but not yet receiving OAS will have the flexibility to delay receiving it in exchange for a higher monthly amount at a later date.

Motorcycle racing starts this weekend

Chaplin named western champ at nationals Mission’s Steven Chaplin clinched the 2012 Western Canadian national youth champion title in the first weekend of May. He qualified for event finals on all events and brought home gold on floor, pommel, rings, vault, parallel bars, and a bronze on high bar.

Chaplin was one of seven Twisters athletes to compete in the event that was held in Langley.

Delta Invitational The youngest Twisters athletes from the women’s competitive team had their turn to shine last weekend at the Delta Invitational while competing in the KIP 2 category.

Several older athletes from the men’s and the women’s teams also competed. The athletes entered the cash and carry event, which is judged differently than usual competitions and in which the gymnasts have the opportunity to win a few hard-earned dollars.

Forty athletes from various different levels and age-groups competed in the men’s cash and carry. The top three on events and the top six all-around won money.

Twenty-nine athletes, including some of the best in Canada, competed on the women’s side and were provincial level five or higher.

Mission Twisters’ results: • Zoe Rumsby: gold on beam, silver (tie) on floor, bronze on bars and all-around.

• Alexandra Robson: fourth on floor, seventh all-around.

• Hannah Wood: eighth all-around.

• Steven Chaplin: bronze on rings, fourth on vault and all-around, tied for fourth on parallel bars, fifth on floor.

Steve Chaplin is the 2012 Western Canadian national youth champion.

What’s Happening in Mission

BE YOURSELF

Many of us spend a lot of time and effort constantly trying to live up to others’ expectations or trying to meet our own impossible demands on ourselves. While it is certainly good to set high standards for yourself, sometimes we set ourselves up to fail simply by setting goals which are unrealistic or unattainable. In doing so, we miss out on the opportunity to enjoy just being ourselves. Who we are now (our actual self) and who we want to be (our ideal self) often do not coincide. If our ideal self and our actual self diverge, then we should strive to become our ideal self. But to be successful, we must do it gently and a little at a time. In the process of becoming your best self, be comfortable with who you are right now, remembering that you are exactly who and what God wants you to be. Finally, being yourself requires trusting both yourself and God — trusting yourself to make decisions that truly reflect your own values and interests, and trusting God that you are essentially a good human being, because you are His creation.

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you.

Submit a name for Jubilee medal The office of the Governor General of Canada is now accepting nominations for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, which pays tribute to Canada’s sovereign Queen Elizabeth II and her 60 years on the throne of England.

The commemorative medal was created to mark the anniversary as well as honour significant contributions and achievements made

by Canadians. As many as 60,000 people will be recognized with the medal between now and next February.

Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission MP Randy Kamp said that constituents are invited to submit nominations by going to www.randykamp.com and clicking the Diamond Jubilee icon. This will lead to an online registration form that can be sent to Kamp’s office.

“Thirty medals have been allocated for me to present and I look forward to recognizing exemplary Canadians who dedicate their time and efforts to bettering the lives of those around them, and making Canada stronger,” he said in a statement.

Nominations for the medal are open until December 2012. Approval of nominees by the Chancellery of Honours takes about two to four weeks, and once approved the Royal Canadian Mint sends a medal and information package to the recipient.

You can find more information on the medal, including the eligibility criteria, by logging on to the Governor General website: www.gg.ca.

Isaac went to be with his Lord and Saviour on May 12, 2012. Isaac was born on September 14, 1923 to Peter and Margareta (Derksen) Bergen in Schoenhorst, Ukraine.

Along with so many others they fled to Germany in 1943.

Here he married Mika Krahn and their first son was born shortly before they immigrated to Canada. Isaac worked full time in the construction industry eventually starting his own contractor / builder business and along with his sons, mostly Henry, they built many custom homes in the valley from start to finish. Together with his wife they were deacons in the Ebenezer Church for many years. He loved the Lord and served him gladly. After retirement he enjoyed gardening, playing with the grandkids and preparing family feasts. He also spent countless hours compiling family history books for the Derksens, Bergens and Krahns. He is survived by his children: Pete (Sherrie), Henry (Heidi), John (Karen) and Marita (Peter) Gunther, 18 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Also survived by in-laws Luzie Bergen, Lena Flore, Elisabeth Krahn, Abe & Mae Krahn and Carol Krahn and well as many nieces and nephews. There will be a viewing at the Ebenezer Mennonite Church sanctuary on Thursday, May 17, 2012 from 9:00 10:00 with internment to follow at Maclure Road Cemetery and a celebration / lunch at the Ebenezer Mennonite Church gym at 12:00 noon.

Erna (nee Sawatsky) A.F.C.A.

After a long, happy and healthy life we are sad to announce the passing of Ralph A. Capnerhurst. He passed away peacefully at Christine Morrison Hospice ward in Mission Hospital on May 13, 2012. Ralph was born in Darcy, SK on August 17, 1915. After living in various places in Canada he spent most of his working years in 100 Mile House, BC. He moved back to Mission, after his retirement in 1980. He is survived by his loving wife Evelyn of 32 years, and sons Jack (Darlene), Terry (Norma), daughter Donna Gauthier and son Harold (Jeannie) and step-daughter Anda (John) Pawlovich. His love was shared with many grandchildren and great grandgrandchildren. He was predeceased by his parents and all six siblings as well as daughter Juanita, step-daughter Dianne Best, step-son Bill McMeekin and grandson Jay Gauthier. There will be a memorial at the Mission Seventh-Day-Adventist church on Friday, May 18, 2012 at 1:00.

In lieu of flowers the family would request donations be made to the Christine Morrison Hospice in Mission or the charity of your choice.

IN MEMORIAM

Passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on May 12, 2012. She celebrated her 90th birthday May 14th in heaven with her pre-deceased husband Abe, her parents whom she lost when she was just 14 and 17 and her three brothers. She is survived by her sisters Herta Neumann, Rita Voth, Rosanna Konrad, Elma Hide and Erna’s children Sheldon, Alan, Marilynn Stebbins and Brenda Zacharias, with grandchildren Shayne, Crystal Douglas, Bradley and Devon Zacharias, and Jeremy, Joshua and Jonathan Stebbins. Erna along with her parents Henry and Helen Sawatsky immigrated to Canada from Russia, Ukraine, in 1924 when she was just 2 years old, for freedom of worship and speech. They settled in Grand Prairie, AB. She met her husband Abe in Vancouver, BC and then settled in Yarrow, BC. When they sold their supermarket they moved to Abbotsford, where they lived for 30 years, and Erna became a watercolor artist of national merit. Internment will be on May 18th for family and memorial service on Saturday May 19th at 1:00 pm at Seven Oaks Alliance Church, Abbotsford.

A little tear falls from my eye, I swallow hard, try not to cry.

I think of you so far away, Five years ago you died today.

Still sometimes when I’m all alone,e, I hope and pray to hear the phone;; To hear you say just one more time, That I am loved and you are fine.

But on life’s road there’s no return, So now I must try hard to learn.

To learn to live to love to do, The very way you taught me to.

But Mother dear remember this; You for me are truly missed.

Loved, remembered, needed and longed for always,

Your son xoxo

I have lost my wife Clara of 63 years, and it hurts more than anything I can remember feeling. The mother of Alan (Shirley) and Bill (Patti Dibski) of Calgary, of Laura LeGood (Armin Semler) of Abbotsford and of Tom (Leslie Post) of London, Ontario, died of dementia in Salmon Arm, B.C. on May 7, 2012. Our family circle includes 10 grandchildren: Chris and Andrew; Sam and Alex; Jennifer, Joanna, Katrina and Emma; Hailey and Greg; and one great granddaughter: Hannah.

Clara Johanna Spall was born in Kelowna on March 13, 1926, the daughter of James and Johanna Spall (nee Knippel). She went to school there and at UBC for a year and at the University of Toronto after the war where she was studying occupational therapy and I was attending library school. In 1948 we married in Kelowna, B.C. Clara worked as a therapist at the Royal Jubilee hospital in Victoria, at the Tranquille sanatorium on Kamloops Lake and, later, at the prison in Abbotsford-Matsqui. Wherever we lived she raised our young family very well; they went on to live their own lives with satisfaction and honour. She was accomplished not only in her career and as a mother but as a student – she made the Dean’s list at Fraser Valley College in Abbotsford – and as a woodworker and gardener. Clara was an engaging, outgoing person who has left us with a lifetime of memories.

Whither I would go, Clara would go. We lived in Abbotsford, in London, in Cranbrook, and then in Dawson Creek for 14 years where Clara worked as a weather observer at the airport and became intensely interested in speed skating when our four children joined the local speed skating club. She became its coach, formed a club in Fort St. John and began rising through administrative ranks in provincial and national speed skating, serving as president of the national body from 1977 to 1981. In this capacity she represented her sport at the winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria in 1976, at Lake Placid, NY in 1980, and at world and international events in Milan, Los Angeles, Montreal and Quebec City. Clara formed clubs in Mission, Abbotsford, Matsqui, Sardis and Surrey, and in Whitehorse and Haines Junction when we lived in the Yukon. She is a member of the speed skating Hall of Fame.

Clara’s wide circle of family including her surviving sibling, Beth Weick of Penticton, mourn her passing as do our immediate family and friends. We know how much we have lost. We humbly tender our thanks to the very helpful and understanding staff at Bastion Place and to doctors McCallum, Gow, Goldberg and Connor.

Cremation has taken place. The family will enjoy the company of Clara’s friends in the common room at McIntosh Grove on May 10, and in Kelowna later in August. Instead of flowers, please consider donating to either the Canadian Cancer Society or the Terry Fox Foundation. Clara survived cancer in 1996.

Rest in peace, Clara. You have done well and we are proud of you.

We love you.

Online condolences can be sent through Clara’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com
