Police seek pair in suspicious death Got help for late friend then disappeared BY

CAROL AUN

Mission Record

Police are trying to locate two men in connection with a suspicious death on May 23. Around 3 p.m. two men flagged down a motorist on Dewdney Trunk Road near Mill Pond to help their friend. The female driver was trying to be a Good Samaritan when she allowed the male, who needed medical attention, into her vehicle, said Const. Amanda Fallis. The woman was going to take the man to the hospital, but a short while later, he was in medical distress. That’s when the woman called for help. Paramedics arrived and took the man to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. The deceased has been identified as 32-yearold John Weikkolla. He didn’t suffer any serious

physical injuries, according to police, who aren’t releasing the cause of his death. “We assume (the two men) were his friends, but they never came to the hospital afterward,” said Fallis. “We didn’t get their IDs.” The first man is described as caucasian, about 5’8” in height, and having short blond hair. The second man is described as being in his early 20s with short brown wavy hair. They were both wearing white t-shirts. Police believe these two individuals may have information that can help them their investigation and are asking them to come forward and speak to police. Anyone who was in the area at the time that may have seen something in connection with this incident is asked to call Mission RCMP at 604826-7161. If you want to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Crime Stoppers is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You don’t have to give your name or testify in court. A cash reward of up to $2,000 will be paid for any information which leads to an arrest and charge.

Drag races a washout BY

NEIL CORBETT

Mission Record

For the first time since the drag race first came here in 1994, the Lordco B.C. Nationals, the biggest NHRA event in Canada, were rained out. “We’ve battled the weather before, but this is the first time it got washed out,” said Wally Duperon, the race director for Mission Raceway Park. “It was kind of disheartening,” he said. “You have people here from Ontario, California, Nevada... and they spent a lot of

money to get here.” What’s more, some racers saw the weather forecast and offered Duperon the Raceway organizers their apologies – but they weren’t going to travel all that way with rain in the forecast. The result was 300 cars entered, where 400 have come in the past. Duperon said the track crews can get it ready to race after a deluge, as long as there is a dry spell, but the weekend’s persistent drizzle made organizing a drag race impossible. Monday was reserved as a rain day, and the plan was to finish the events

then. However, more rain on Monday forced Duperon to call the race off. He said the weekend of racing, which included top alcohol dragster and funny cars, got as far as one round of eliminations. The rest of the racing will be added to future events. Top Alcohol Funny Car will complete their elimination rounds at the NHRA Full Throttle National event July 9-11 at Pacific Raceways See DRAGS Page 3

Next big event: West Coast Pro Mod Challenge From DRAGS Page 1

outside of Seattle during qualifying for the NHRA Northwest Nationals. The Sportsman Motorcycle class and Super Pro will run eliminations on July 24 at the Mission Raceway Park National Open event. All remaining classes including Top Alcohol Dragster will complete the event on Thursday, August 19, prior to the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Olympics of Drag Racing event at Pacific Raceways. Eliminations began on Sunday prior to the rain moving in. In Top Alcohol Funny Car Brian Hough, Clint Thompson, and John Evanchuk all advanced to round two. Hough qualified number one and took out fellow Oregonian Jeff Ashwell. Thompson, also from Oregon, beat Rob Atchison of London, Ont.. Evanchuk ousted Nathan Sitko, both of Edmonton. In the Top Alcohol Dragster class only Dale Carlson of Olympia, Wash., and Mike Austin of Oregon were able to advance before the rain stopped the action. Carlson defeated Joey Severance, Ore., and Austin advanced when Leo Grocock of Mission, suffered engine problems on the burnout and could not make his run. When eliminations resume, Shawn

The fastest woman in Canada BY

NEIL CORBETT

Mission Record

Ashley Bart, a 21-year-old law student, is the only woman in Canada racing in the Top Alcohol Dragster class. NEIL CORBETT PHOTO

Ashley Bart is chatting to people walking through the pits at Mission Raceway Park. She’s not even five feet tall, but in the male dominated work of drag racing she stands out. A young girl comes up to ask for an autograph. Her dad asks “What’s your advice to a young girl?” Bart looks at Danielle Hurt and tells her “Don’t let the men talk you down. They’re just jealous, because they know you’re going to beat them.” Actually her situation is not that confrontational. She says some of the men were standoffish at first, but “they’ve all warmed to me, and we all get along really well.” And she hasn’t beaten them yet.

The Calgary native is the self-proclaimed “fastest woman in Canada,” based on the fact that she’s the only one running a drag car in the Top Alcohol Dragster (TAD) class. There are only about three female rivals racing in her class in the U.S., but Bart is the new kid on the scene, at just 21 years of age. “I’m the baby of the circuit.” She started racing before she was legally allowed to drive, at the age of eight. Her father, Rick Bart, was a drag racer. She won four national drag racing titles at the junior and super comp classes, before making the jump to the 3,500 horsepower TAD class. So far success at the top level hasn’t come, but it’s close. The car is owned by Ken Gilmore, and the crew has it running at more than 264 mph, which is enough to

get Bart in the hunt. “I attribute all my success to the crew,” she says, pointing to the guys working hard on her car in the background, while the law student talks to race fans. In Seattle’s National Open event she was the number two qualifier, and won a round of eliminations. Then disaster struck. “We had transmission issues. I couldn’t get the car out of reverse.” It was gut wrenching for Bart. She watched her competitor’s run, which was not fast, and she knew she could have taken it a step further. So, that’s the goal this year – to get to round two. She said she would have loved to have done it in Mission, in front of Canadian drag fans. “I love racing in Canada. It’s home for us.”

Sentenced to two years in jail for child porn BY

VIKKI HOPES

Black Press

A man charged in connection with an international investigation into Internet child sexual abuse was sentenced last Wednesday in Abbotsford provincial court. Lon Batchelor, a former Abbotsford resident who was arrested in Mission in 2008, previously pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography and one count of making child pornography available (by leaving his account open and accessible to others on his computer). Judge Ronald Caryer sentenced Batchelor, 40, to 24 months in prison, with 12 months credit for the eight months he has served in pre-

sentence custody, leaving another year for Batchelor to serve. Throughout the sentencing hearing, an angry Caryer remarked often on the “despicable,” “disgusting” and “horrifying” nature of the crimes. He said that although Batchelor himself did not produce the material, he was among the consumers that create a market for it and contribute to the sexual abuse of children around the world. “Someone is making these (videos) ... These are real children; these are not made up,” Caryer said. The judge, who had to view some of the material in considering the sentence, read in court some of the summaries that were posted with the videos. They described in explicit

detail the sexual acts performed by adult men on young girls. Caryer described one video in which a seven-year-old girl was tied to a weight bench. Another featured an eight-year-old girl and another who appeared to be about two years old, struggling to get away. “The clip that I saw is enough to give most people nightmares,” Caryer said. Batchelor was arrested Jan. 22, 2008 at his Mission home while he was in the process of downloading two videos. The arrest was part of an international investigation known as Operation Koala, which has resulted in charges throughout the world. Police seized from Batchelor’s home three computers and two hard drives upon which they found close

to 100,000 still images, more than 600 videos and about 300 written texts, all relating to child pornography. Sergio Marzola was arrested in Italy for running the studio that produced the films and for distributing the material. Investigators found 50,000 emails on his computer, including ones from Batchelor, who praised Marzola for “a job well done” and said he was looking forward to expanding his collection. Caryer read from a psychiatric report on Batchelor in which he was said to have little remorse for his crimes and believed that sexual acts with children was OK as long as they were willing. He was assessed as a “high risk for future sexual offending.”

Batchelor, a paunchy man with glasses and short dark hair, was given an opportunity to speak in court. “I just wish I could publicly apologize for what I’ve done. I feel horrible ... not only for the children who were involved but to the family members, and the court as well for having to go through this,” he said. Caryer placed some conditions on Batchelor’s release when he completes his sentence, including that he must be registered for 20 years as a sex offender, and not attend parks, recreation centres and other areas where children are likely to gather. Batchelor is also banned from using computers and accessing the Internet, among other conditions of his 30-month probation.

The cause of the fire which destroyed a home in Deroche last Friday is not considered suspicious. NEIL CORBETT PHOTO

Fire destroys Deroche house A house was destroyed by fire on Friday morning on North Deroche Road. North Fraser Fire Chief Rick Dekker said the rental unit was an older, second house on the property, which is located not far from the Lougheed Highway.

The building was originally a trailer that had undergone four separate additions/renovations, and was insured only as an outbuilding. He noted the fire started on the outside of the building, near some trash, and suggested it may have

been caused by a discarded cigarette butt. The fire is not being considered suspicious, added Dekker. A neighbour who was jogging past at approximately 11:30 a.m. saw smoke, investigated, and called in the fire.

Residents concerned about Silverhill Ave. development BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Residents living near a proposed nine-lot subdivision close to the top of Silverhill Avenue spoke about traffic, density and especially water concerns at a public hearing last week. The property is located at 31161 Silverhill and is about 8.42 hectares in size. The proposal is to create nine lots with secondary dwellings, which could be used as mortgage helpers to make homes more affordable. “We could end up with 18 families,” calculated Mark Sippola, who lives

next door to the subject property. “That’s pretty dense, and I’m concerned about the water table.” Bernie and Laurie Eide stated their concerns about traffic and density. “It’s like building houses on the side of Mt. Baker — it’s straight down,” said Bernie about the road leading down to the proposed development. He questioned the stability of the slope after trees are removed to make room for the houses. Road maintenance is already minimal, added Laurie. “Our road never gets

fixed and we have children and horses going down the street.” There have been previous applications submitted to develop the site, but potable water was an issue, said Barclay Pitkethly, deputy director of planning for the district. The current applicant, Tripod Developments, has hired a hydrologist whose report indicates water which meets the Canadian Drinking Water Standards can be provided. The report also looks at how it will affect the surrounding properties. “I know this driveway

well,” said Coun. Mike Scudder, who wanted to know the grade of the access road and how many other roads are of that grade in the district. “Why wasn’t there rationale for bare land strata,” he asked. “It’s not a burden for the taxpayers and it seems a natural fit for the long driveway.” Coun. Paul Horn said he was disappointed the report wasn’t available and requested it be submitted for third reading along with a geo tech report. Third reading will be presented to council once all the issues have been dealt with.

District honours local volunteers

Former premier Bill Vander Zalm is leading the fight against the harmonized sales tax. Fight HST organizers are now saying the 10 per cent standard for signatures has been reached in all 85 B.C. ridings.

HST fighters claim victory across B.C. BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re over the top. Fight HST organizers say they now have the 10 per cent of signatures in all 85 B.C. ridings needed for their citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; initiative against the harmonized sales tax to succeed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with more than a month to spare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is unprecedented,â&#x20AC;? campaign leader and former premier Bill Vander Zalm said Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been done before. And it sends a clear message to government.â&#x20AC;? Organizers aim to force the B.C. Liberals to dismantle the 12 per cent tax, which on July 1 replaces the provincial sales tax and federal GST. Vander Zalm said the petition now has the signatures of between 550,000 and 600,000 B.C. voters. The 90-day campaign still has until July 5 before the completed petition needs to be submitted for verification by Elections BC.

If indeed it is signed by the minimum 10 per cent of registered voters in each riding, it will have made history â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no previous initiative campaign has cleared the threshold. Many signatures are expected to be disqualified for various reasons, so campaigners have set a higher target of signing up 15 per cent of voters in each riding â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a big buffer to ensure success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue on aggressively to collect as much as we can,â&#x20AC;? Vander Zalm said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bigger the number, the clearer the message.â&#x20AC;? At the last official count on May 24, there were still numerous Lower Mainland ridings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; mainly in Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, the Tri-Cities and the North Shore â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where the signature count was below 15 per cent. Vander Zalm said canvassers will concentrate on those areas. With victory now expected on the signature front, attention has shifted to the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They could walk into the House tomorrow and cancel the whole thing,â&#x20AC;? said Vander Zalm, adding he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect that will happen. Instead, he anticipates the government will stall as long as possible, sending his proposed legislation to kill the HST to a legislative committee first for review. The province would attempt to use that venue to explain why backtracking on the merged tax is not practicable or desirable. It could then allow the bill to be introduced in the Legislature but use the Liberal majority to defeat it. Vander Zalm said that would spark recall campaigns against government MLAs that could get underway as early as November. The other option for the Liberals is to send the issue to a non-binding provincial referendum, which would not take place until September of 2011. Vander Zalm said that would be a blatant delay tactic that would also send recall forces into action.

Community helpers are being honoured and recognized this weekend during the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Volunteer Appreciation Open House and Community Service Awards Ceremony on June 6. From 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. volunteers and their families can enjoy activities and swim in the pool at the Leisure Centre. There will also be face painting, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities and a hot dog and hamburger lunch. The Community Service Awards Ceremony will begin at 2 p.m. These are two separate events, explained organizer Carmelle Jullion. Last year the events took place back to back, but this year, there is a short break scheduled, to give people a chance to change for the ceremony. Close to 400 people attended the event last year, filling the room at the Leisure Centre. Two community contributors will be honoured with Missionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest award, Freeman of the City. The recipients are Thomas Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Beirne and Dennis Derrough. The Mission and District Lions Club, which has been in the community for 60 years, will receive

Population rapidly greying BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Seniors will outnumber children in B.C. within two years, according to new population projections from Statistics Canada. The latest figures show B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population will swell from 4.5 million now to between 5.8 million and 7.1 million by 2036. And the rate of growth of seniors is expected to be particularly strong, faster than the pace of the rest of the country. The Statistics Canada report shows the proportion of seniors in B.C.

aged 65 and up will climb from 15 to 24 per cent by 2036. The proportion of seniors in B.C. will pass that of children under 15 in 2012 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not expected to happen nationally until 2021. Meanwhile, 15- to 64-year-olds who include most of the working population are forecast to decline from 70 per cent now to 60 per cent of B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population in 2036. Urban Futures demographer Andrew Ramlo said the â&#x20AC;&#x153;dramaticâ&#x20AC;? growth of the seniors population here isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a surprise.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a warm place to live and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to shovel the rain,â&#x20AC;? he said. Many will locate in the Lower Mainland, he said, but added theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in part offset by â&#x20AC;&#x153;equity refugeesâ&#x20AC;? who will cash out of expensive Lower Mainland real estate to fund their retirement in cheaper homes in the Interior and Vancouver Island. The demographics shift has big implications on everything from health care provision to urban design and the accessibility of the transit system. Ramlo says the retirement of growing numbers of baby boomers in the

next few years will mean plenty of opportunity for newer employees entering the workforce. Companies, however, may struggle to replace retirees. Both B.C. and Ontario are projected to grow faster than the national average in terms of total population. B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth is projected at 29 to 59 per cent between now and 2036. Since the Lower Mainland is expected to continue to make up about 52 per cent of B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population, the region should grow from about 2.2 million now to between three and 3.7 million.

OPINION

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

Centralization offers minimal savings

bviously anything that reduces administrative overhead for school districts is a positive move. At a time when cash is tight and direct resources for students are being chopped, bureaucracy must be brought in line. However, the Ministry of Education’s pilot amalgamation of payroll, substitute teacher scheduling and other business systems is little more than smoke and mirrors. Even if the pilot in four districts shows savings can be found and the program branches out provincewide, no changes will happen overnight. It could take years of implementation for the minimum $1 million in savings Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid has suggested to actually materialize. That means there will be no immediate relief for districts – including the four involved in the pilot project – that have waded through red ink and been forced to make drastic cuts that are negatively impacting students. It will be even longer for potential savings to be realized in the rest of the province’s school districts. There should also be a concern that instead of actually saving money, some faceless bureaucracy will be established in Victoria or Vancouver, issuing edicts across the province. Individual districts will likely have even less autonomy than they have now, and the ability to deal one-on-one with employees will be eroded further. Credit should be given to the ministry for considering options that might make districts more efficient, but any suggestions that the education system’s financial woes will be solved by amalgamating administration is misguided. —Nanaimo News Bulletin

Tale of two local governments J

ust over a year ago, a new kind of local government sprang to life in B.C. It’s likely you haven’t heard of the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality, although it is three times the size of Metro Vancouver and occupies one tenth of the entire province. It was formed in February 2009 when the town of Fort Nelson merged with the adjacent regional district, taking in much of the vast northeast of B.C. Northern Rockies is run by a seven-member council, led currently by Mayor Bill Streeper, directing one chief administrative officer and staff. At the same time B.C.’s first regional municipality was formed, the VictoriaTo based business magazine <I>Douglas</I> came out with a simple bar graph to illustrate the situation in Greater Victoria, also known as the Capital Regional District. The only comment was the headline, “Is more government better government?” The graph is striking. It shows that Vancouver has 27 local politicians to serve a population of just over 600,000, and Calgary manages more than one million people with just 22 elected officials. Greater Victoria, population 364,121 at the time, soars to the top of the graph with 136 local politicians. This is almost

exactly twice as many as Toronto (population 2.5 million) and includes 14 mayors, which means 14 administrators and a profusion of senior staff. Northern Rockies obviously has few people compared to its southwestern cousin, but don’t assume there’s nothing going on there. In the planning or construction phase are a recreation centre, public safety building, industrial park, arterial roads, and an aquatic centre-convention facility, as well as housing expansion to serve a growing workforce. Northern Rockies has signed a wide-ranging agreement with the Fort Nelson First Nation that requires the two councils to work together on social, environmental and industrial m matters. Its most prominent industrial matter is the Horn River shale, a gigantic natural gas resource that grows in value as the oil slick blooms in the Gulf of Mexico. Development involves pipelines and a large new gas plant in the works near Fort Nelson. Mayor Streeper is looking at the bigger picture, including a liquefied natural gas export facility proposed near Kitimat and investment from South Korea in pipeline infrastructure so it can import gas.

existing tax base and grants to complete its community development plans, and the council is building a plan to achieve that. Greater Victoria also has a vast hinterland, extending up the west side of Vancouver Island to Port Renfrew. This region has its own rich industrial history, symbolized by crumbling old railbeds from steam-train logging, and a modern logging camp at Jordan River that stands mostly idle these days. In 2008 I wrote about my road trip up to Port Renfrew and along the newly upgraded “circle route” that actually allows a passenger vehicle to travel up and across the island, connecting to the Trans-Canada Highway. This run-down goat trail is finally paved all the way, a surge of progress that is apparently viewed with alarm by MLA John Horgan and various local politicians. Near Jordan River I viewed a partially completed subdivision of one-acre lots. It was approved by the Capital Regional District, and then stopped half-built when officials finally checked their own records that showed bylaws didn’t allow it. This stunning display of incompetence was shrugged off in the city, where the comfortable army of CRD politicians and officials is clustered. The answer to the magazine’s question is no. More government isn’t better government. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Education cuts target CUPE members Editor, The Record: As president of CUPE Local 593, which represents school district support staff, I am writing to raise concerns about the district budget, and to second Edie Lissimore’s points made in last week’s paper. Front line staff understand that the board is dealing with a serious funding shortfall, due mostly to provincial under funding. But the Mission Board of Education’s current plan is seriously flawed. Most importantly, the board’s plan will have serious impacts on our students. The loss of 24 education assistants would be a drastic cut to vital support for special needs students and their families. Cuts to youth care workers, who already carry very high caseloads will create more work than can be done. These cuts will hurt many of the most vulnerable students and families who rely on the services these workers provide.

Cuts to custodial, maintenance, grounds and engineering staff are extremely shortsighted and are shortterm gain for longterm pain. This will add substantial new costs to the district in the future, and potentially harm students and staff health and safety through air quality problems, food safety issues, health impacts and more vulnerability to H1N1 type threats. Cuts do not stop there. Also affected are secretaries, supervision assistants, career advisors and library assistants, all who provide very valuable services to our students.

CUPE also strongly believes that the budget plan places a disproportionate share of cuts on CUPE support staff and the services we provide. Almost 70 per cent of employee cuts in the plan are to CUPE support staff – despite us being less than 40per cent of the district work force. In terms of actual dollars, almost half of the projected cuts of $2.7 million are on the backs of CUPE support staff, despite the fact that our members account for only 25 per cent of the total salary spending within the school district budget, and less than 18 per cent of the total

budgetary expenditure. What are the options? We believe that the district needs to look at ballooning increases in administrative jobs and costs. Since 2004, and during a time when district enrolment declined, the ranks of exempt administrative staff have risen from 17 to 24 staff, a rate of increase of more than 41 per cent, and an unwarranted pace. This growth has been matched by discretionary increases – ranging from increases of 17 per cent to 50 per cent – in exempt staff salaries and expenses. District 75’s budget shortfall places the board in a difficult position, and hard budget choices await trustees. That’s why, at the upcoming June 22 meeting, the Board needs a fresh look at its budgetary options, starting with an examination of administrative staffing and compensation. George Forsythe, CUPE 593 President

Going back to the stone age

Long-awaited seniors centre opens Friday

Editor, The Record: Everyday, the media feeds us negative news about how bad “we” are! We (of course) know that logging is bad! And environmentalists are good. But environmentalists all live in wooden houses. The newspapers repeat it in articles, but they buy paper made of trees. And of course, earth day is good, and we have to stop destroying wetlands – but the environmentalists love the Fraser Valley farms that were created by draining – 60 mile long Sumas slough. “Save the wetlands!” And then we buy food grown in the Fraser Valley. We protest gravel mining and then drive on gravel encased paved roads. We are told to hate “river destroying” power dams – and the first thing we do when we get

Editor, The Record: A day the seniors of Mission have been eagerly awaiting has finally arrived. Tomorrow (June 4) at 2 p.m. the formal public opening of the Mission Seniors’ Activity Centre will take place. Two year ago, Mission’s mayor and council agreed that the temporary firehall on Taulbut should be designated the Mission Seniors Activity Centre. Thus they accommodated community concerns that seniors had lost their former home in the Leisure Centre, which was demolished during development of the new facilities. Council also agreed that some changes were needed to facilitate the new use. These are now complete, and include a kitchen, furnished drop-in lounge, a storage room and offices. For the first time, Mission has an exclusively designed seniors centre. Thank you, Mayor James Atebe, council, administrative and PR&C staff. The centre will provide advisory, recreational and therapeutic services to local seniors in consultation with the director of parks, recreation and culture. The Mission Seniors Centre Association urges you to come and help us celebrate at the remodeled former Playstation on Taulbut Street, north of the Leisure Centre. There will be a ceremony and refreshments. Frank Sleigh, president, MSCA board

home is turn on the light switch. We of course see ocean oil slicks in our dreams, and then protest a land-based pipeline from Alberta. Of course oil companies are evil and then we use a computer (made out of oil) to protest world wide. We text message on our oil-based plastic products. We protest exploratory mineral mining and then (like the Western Wilderness Committee) have an office in the steel Bental Tower instead of in a Tepee in the wilderness. We spend part of every week in a shopping centre and protest big conglomerates. We use Apple and Microsoft etc., and then text message that we hate big business. We protest our high taxes even though big business pays most of taxes. We hate

the “filthy rich” even though they pay 70 per cent of all taxes. We hate the high cost of education and then give billions worldwide - to scientists, who do a lengthy “granted” study with the results. We, of course, have our environmental heros like Al Gore who tells us that the oceans will rise – up to two meters – and then buys a three million dollar mansion right on the beach! But we feel good – because we care – so on Earth Day we light candles, even though the lighting and extinguishing of the smoking candle pollutes more that a hundred light bulbs. We are feel-good dimwits, and want to go back to the Stone Age. Yaba Daba Doo. Don Warkentin, Mission

Religious right seeks power Editor, The Record: A leading apologist for Christian belief, C.S. Lewis, wrote that “Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in a great campaign of sabotage.” Those words easily sum up the political philosophy of Stephen Harper, an evangelistically challenged born again Christian, who has made no secret of his wish to merge the Christian Right with the Conservative Party, exactly what was done in the US with the Republican party. He has even said that this must be done slowly so as not to spook Canadians. Too late, I’ve gone well past just being spooked as this man is dangerous to the well-being of our open and democratic society. We have to give up this idea that it can’t happen here. Just look at how Mr. Harper said no to funding Planned Parenthood for undeveloped countries which is exactly like President Bush did to reward his fundamentalist supporters. How long will it take for Harper to open up the abortion debate again and remove a woman’s rights to decide her own reproductive options?

Not long, if you really listen to what the Prime Minister says publicly and look at the ground work being laid by the evangelicals he has appointed to every committee which decides the direction of education, health and science in this country. Anything that doesn’t meet the approval of the mega churches, the evangelical preachers and the conservative think tanks, being funded by both Canadian and American fundamentalists, is rejected. The Tea Baggers are already here, people, wake up and smell the coffee - to mix metaphors. Mr. Harper says he doesn’t care about what history says of him, he only cares about God’s opinion of him. What he is saying is that he doesn’t give a toss what you and I think of him. George Bush also believed that about himself and how did that work out for America and the world? The words of C.S. Lewis should scare the hell out of anyone who values our democracy. The evangelicals, of course, don`t value democracy except as a tool for manipulation for political and spiritual ends. So I’m really aiming my letter at all those people who say everyone has their own beliefs. True, and that’s fine, but the moment religious

illiterates step across the line and attempt to sabotage our liberal democracy from inside 24 Sussex Drive, then it is time to drop our naïve hope that what the religious right has done to polarize American society can’t happen here. The religious right does not believe that we all have our rights to our own beliefs, unless we agree with them. A lot of people were upset by my earlier call to tax church property. Tough! Those churches and temples using their tax free status to build their political war chest must have that privilege revoked: the sooner the better. Because if we want to defend our democracy, then we shouldn’t be funding those wanting to undermine it. Rendering unto Caesar what is Caesar’s is not part of the vocabulary of the righteous right, so we better be prepared to defend ourselves against religious illiterates who have no real understanding of theology - only power. And in this quest, these Christian soldiers turned political power brokers have a willing and able champion in Mr. Harper as he misuses and abuses our democratic institutions. Robert T.

Big weekend for soap box racers Racers must sign up, test cars at pre-race on Sunday BY

NEIL CORBETT

Mission Record

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not quite the big day, but Missionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soap box racers get their first runs this weekend.

On Sunday, all racers taking part in the Mission Soap Box Derby on June 19 need to sign up, and get their cars inspected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can see if their

brakes work, and the kids can have a go,â&#x20AC;? said Remco Bergman, president of the Mission and District Soap Box Association. Those who are not racing their own car, but would like to give the sport a try in one of the cars owned by the Mission Soap Box Derby

Association, should also show up to register. The pre-race will happen June 6, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Leisure Centre parking lot. Each of the cars will be visually inspected, and there will be practice runs. Racers must be between the ages of eight and 14. Race day, June 19, will happen at Stave Lake Street, on the hill near Heritage Park sec-

ondary. This race has a long history in Mission, and Bergmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group is trying to keep it alive. Using some 15 cars donated by former participants who have outgrown the sport, they provide opportunities for kids to try the sport. Then, they hope, will follow the enthusiasm to build their own entry. Bergman said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to watch the rookies, as

they adjust to driving the cars that go about 30 km/h. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For their first run theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty cautious, braking a lot, taking it easy. Then their second run they might brake once halfway down. Then, by the third race, they come flying down the hill.â&#x20AC;? The association is also providing more to do than just racing. There will be a pudding eating

contest, a dunk tank, a martial arts demonstration and more. From the early interest, Bergman is optimistic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have a ton of kids this year,â&#x20AC;? he said. Vendors who would like to set up booths at the event should contact Bergman at 604-2874327. For more information see www.missionsoapbox.com.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 2010

Mission student wins international honour A Missions student has received international honours for her work in geology. Justine Cullen is a third-year BSc Honours geography student at the University of the Fraser Valley. She was recently notified that she has won the Geological Society of America’s 2010 Farouk El-Baz student award. Students from all over the world compete for this award, and only two are given each year, usually to a student at the master’s or doctoral level. Cullen is the first undergraduate student to ever receive the award, and one of only two Canadians. The award is named for Dr. Farouk El-Baz, a veteran of NASA’s Apollo program, who is renowned for pioneering research in the applications of satellite images to study deserts. The Hatzic grad caught the research bug since enrolling at UFV. She initially wanted to become a high school teacher, but now plans to pursue graduate studies in the field of geology. She is working in Dr. Olav Lian’s Luminescence Dating Laboratory, where she often works in total darkness, analyzing tiny grains of sand at the atomic level. “Once I learned more about the opportunities

available to me by working in the lab, I got excited about the prospect of research, travel, and a variety of career options,” she said. The award is for students conducting fundamental research in desert and dryland environments, and Justine’s application was based on her proposed honours research in the Luminescence Dating Laboratory. Her research will focus on developing dating protocols for sand dunes in the Canadian prairies that serve as indicators of long-term climate change. UFV is home to one of the few luminescence

dating laboratories in North America, and the only Canadian laboratory of its kind west of Ontario. Lian says that his lab’s research is of great interest to climate scientists. “They are very interested in knowing when the sand dunes in the prairies were last active,” he notes. “We are attempting to perfect a method of getting the precise age of the sand dunes by analyzing long-buried grains of sand and isolating and studying electrons trapped within them. The light given off by the trapped electrons when they are stimulated in the

laboratory gives us clues about the timing of dune activity.” The UFV researchers have used their luminescence dating techniques successfully at other sites. The site that Cullen plans to study further as part of her BSc Honours thesis project is proving more challenging, in that these sand dunes contain charcoal and tephra (volcanic ash) beds that have defined independent ages. But the luminescence dating results are showing a younger age result than the other independent dating techniques. “We need to better understand and account for

Payroll, vacation and substitute teacher scheduling are being amalgamated in four of B.C.’s largest school districts, in the first step of a province-wide project. Education Minister Margaret Macdiarmid said Kamloops-Thompson, Surrey, Vancouver and North Vancouver were selected because together they represent nearly one third of B.C.’s public school students. All have aging business computer systems that need to be replaced soon, and replacements will help make them work together. Macdiarmid is confident the project will produce savings, as 60 school districts are converted away from a patchwork of incompatible technologies that has also plagued other B.C. ministries. The savings will go back into the classroom, she said, but it is too soon to tell what savings will be had and what jobs will be gained and lost. “What we do know is government’s done this in other areas, sharing services, and they’ve saved on the order of 10 to 15 per cent,” Macdiarmid said. “The current cost estimated for the school districts is about $70 million, and so if we saved the minimum, it would be on the order of $7 million.” The B.C. government has contracted out office functions at BC Hydro and other areas, and Macdiarmid acknowledged that the school district project could eventually involve that as well. The business system merger could lead to other areas, such as shared purchase of supplies and equip-

ment. The government claimed savings of $100 million by sharing procurement in the health ministry. “We have right now a school in the Okanagan that provides the WorkSafeBC services for 30 districts,” Macdiarmid said. “They have developed the expertise for their district ... and so the other districts don’t have those people doing it at all. They contract with that district.”

ICBC to trim rates

B.C. motorists may soon get a break on their auto insurance premiums. ICBC wants to cut basic rates an average of 1.9 per cent effective Nov. 1. It would be the first cut in more than a decade on the price of compulsory insurance on which the public auto insurer holds a monopoly. The B.C. Utilities Commission still has to approve the cut. But ICBC will have to cut much further

Four-year terms eyed for councils BY

TOM FLETCHER

Black Press

DON’T LET YOUR TALENTS RUST Most of us have a particular talent for something. Some of us are creative, while some are good with people, and others may have a talent for mechanical things. Whatever our talents may be– most of us do have more than one–it is important for each of us to develop them to their fullest. One of the saddest of missed opportunities is not fully developing our talents because we may miss out on a more fulfilled life. The American poet and abolitionist John Greenleaf Whittier wrote, “For of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: ‘It might have been!’” Although our talents may be modest, rest assured that we are all good at something, even if we are not sure exactly where our talents lie. Psychologists have developed aptitude tests to an exact science, and it is easy enough to find out what we are good at if we don’t already know. We should all do some thinking about what we are good at, or perhaps take a test, then develop a plan for putting our talents to good use.

A task force on local elections has recommended tighter spending rules for candidates, and a fouryear term of office for those elected to municipal councils and school boards. The task force of councillors and B.C. Liberal

MLAs decided not to place limits on campaign contributions by individuals, businesses and unions. Requiring disclosure of all donations and placing limits on candidate spending is sufficient to allow voters to make up their minds, said Community and Rural Development Minister Bill Bennett, cochair of the task force.

The task force also recommended against giving businesses a vote in local elections. Some coastal communities have seen an industrial tax revolt led by Catalyst Paper, which unsuccessfully argued in court that local councils have loaded too much of the local tax burden on their mills. Bennett said another

task force is looking at the imbalance between residential and business taxes in some communities, but the principle of one person, one vote was deemed more important than businesses being taxed without representation. “You look around the world and you see that there is no corporate or business vote anywhere in the world, except for downtown London, England, and nobody lives in downtown London, England,” Bennett said. NDP community development critic Scott Fraser said the B.C. Liberals didn’t want to impose limits on campaign contributions at the municipal level, because they have refused to do so provincially. Corporate donations have put the B.C. Liberal Party far ahead of the NDP in campaign money collected in recent years, and NDP leader Carole James has repeat-

edly called for a ban on corporate and union donations to provincial parties. “CUPE [the union that represents municipal workers], the teachers’ federation, respected academics and the public have all called for caps on donor contributions, so arguably that omission looks like there was political bias involved,” Fraser said. Fraser, a former mayor of Tofino, said he supports the idea of extending municipal terms from three to four years. It takes a new mayor a year to “get up to speed” and that leaves little time to enact policy before preparations begin for another election, he said. Bennett said the task force recommendations will go to cabinet, and he hopes legislation can be passed to implement them before local elections come around again in November 2011.

New Port Mann Bridge starts to take shape Work on new span will be more visible to public BY JEFF

NAGEL

Black Press

Construction of the new 10-lane Port Mann Bridge is about to pass a major milestone. The first deck sections are to be hoisted into place in early June, giving passing motorists a better idea of the final look of the finished Highway 1 span over the Fraser River. “We’re moving into a lot more of the structural

work,” said Pam Ryan, the Gateway program’s planning and community relations director. More than 300 pre-cast concrete deck sections have been fabricated at a yard in Coquitlam and are being trucked overnight to the south side of the river, where installation on the southern approach from Surrey will soon start. Up until now, the work on the bridge itself had focused on construction

of the piers in the river. Once decking is in place on the south approach, crews will move to the north approach before placing the cablestayed middle sections. Work is also continuing on erecting the towers that will hold up the cables. Motorists will soon see the southernmost tower rise above the level of the existing bridge. The 153-metre towers will be taller than those supporting the Alex Fraser Bridge, Ryan said, but the deck level will be approximately the same as the existing Port Mann Bridge.

The new tolled bridge is slated to open by December of 2012 and the entire $2.46-billion Highway 1 widening project is to be finished by the end of 2013. The old Port Mann Bridge will be taken down in 2014. “The project is on schedule and on budget,” Ryan said. The 37-kilometre freeway expansion includes the reconstruction of several interchanges and work is proceeding throughout the corridor. Paving of new lanes in Surrey near 160 Street has been underway and traffic will shift onto the

new lanes in June. “That will be the first place on the entire project where people will be travelling on what will be the new highway lanes,” Ryan said. Large steel girders will also go up for the new HOV lane ramps at the Grandview Highway interchange. Major work is also

underway at Cape Horn, where the overpass over the CP Rail tracks is being widened to accommodate more lanes. Most work on the highway is being done overnight, with closures happening between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. Delays are expected to be no more than 10 minutes at a time, and no more than 20 minutes

along the entire corridor. HOV lane restrictions are eliminated overnight to help motorists avoid delays while work is underway. Construction is about 25 per cent complete. Construction bulletins and webcam views of work in progress can be found at www.pmh1project.com.

ER nurse decries kids’ ATVs, dirt bikes BY VIKKI HOPES Black Press

Joy Vandevelde recently told her sons she would not permit them to ride dirt bikes or ATVs any longer. The Abbotsford mom of four is an emergency room nurse deeply concerned over the number of young kids she has seen injured from riding motorized vehicles. She says she doesn’t want her four sons – ages 14, 13, 6 and 3 – to be among them. Nor does she want anyone else’s kids to become statistics. Vandevelde hopes to initiate a movement for tougher laws on children’s use of recreation vehicles such as ATVs, dirt bikes and motorized go-carts. In 2004, the Canadian Pediatric Association called for enhanced legislation to control off-road vehicle use, particularly by children. Last year, the Ontario Medical Association recommended banning children under 14 from driving ATVs. Vandevelde supports this measure. She believes there should be an age restriction, similar to driving a car. “Why on Earth do we give permission to children to drive these types of vehicles when they don’t even have a driver’s licence?” she said. Vandevelde, who declined to reveal at what hospital she works, said she has seen countless injuries related to the use of such vehicles.

She said some of her colleagues have witnessed deaths. She does not believe that any amount of protective gear can keep a child safe. “I’ve had kids where I’ve had to cut the $2,000 gear off just to get to a fracture.” Dr. Iain MacPhail, medical director of trauma services for Fraser Health, said local numbers are not as high as one would think for serious injuries related to kids’ use of motorized vehicles. There are no specific statistics related to ATVs, dirt bikes or similar machines, which are categorized under vehicle injuries. MacPhail said this category includes everything from skateboards to cars. The most recent figures cover the period from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009. During that time, Abbotsford Regional Hospital admitted 31 kids (under the age of 15) for injuries from vehicular crashes. “Pediatric trauma is actually fairly rare,” MacPhail said. Figures for less serious injuries that did not require admittance are not available, but MacPhail said these situations typically include fractures, head injuries, broken pelvises and collapsed lungs. He said the more serious injuries tend to be incurred by teens over the age of 16 who often don’t have parental supervision and tend to be more reckless. MacPhail agrees that tougher legislation might be in order. “The biggest issues with ATVs and dirt bikes is that a lot of these

people aren’t very experienced drivers and they’re not wearing helmets .... To operate any kind of vehicle, I think you should pass a standard.” B.C. is currently the only province in Canada that does not have regulations for mandatory helmet use on ATVs nor any age-related driving restrictions. However, the provincial Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts plans to implement by November 2011 regulations surrounding the use of off-road vehicles (ORV), including ATVs, dirt bikes and snowmobiles. They will not apply to use on private land. Among the regulations are those requiring all ORV riders to wear a helmet and for youth less than 16 years old to be under adult supervision, riding a machine sized appropriately for their age and weight, and travelling at reduced speed limits. Failure to comply could result in a $500 fine per offence. The “ORV management framework” was developed by a coalition consisting of 11 organizations, including ATV riders, dirt bike clubs, snowmobilers, environmental and recreation groups, and more. A “compliance and enforcement strategy” is in the process of being developed. This will include an education component to help achieve voluntary compliance of the regulations. For more information on the ORV management framework, visit www.tca.gov.bc.ca/tourism/orv.

Tougher laws could hurt families: club BY VIKKI HOPES Black Press

Tougher legislation on kids’ use of ATVs and dirt bikes will hurt responsible families and have little impact on reckless riders, say two proponents of the activities. Karen Granger, communications director with the Fraser Valley Dirt Riders Association (FVDRA), and Ken Bryant, president of the Lower Mainland ATV Club (LMATV), said they would hesitate to support any movement to limit the use of such vehicles to those 16 years and older. Granger said there are risks of injury in any sport and no amount of legislation will affect those who choose to be careless. Organizations such as the FVDRA promote family-oriented, responsible riding, she said. They emphasize the use of proper safety gear, parental supervision,

and rider training. “I can’t remember the last time someone was injured,” Granger said. She and her husband ride with their 10-yearold son, whom she said experiences numerous benefits, including camaraderie with other kids, knowledge of mechanics, and physical fitness. “These kids are not watching TV. They’re not playing video games. It’s complete outdoor activity all day long,” she said. Bryant expressed similar views in sharing ATV riding with his 16-year-old daughter and 15-year-old son, although he is open to considering some restrictions. The ATV community would need to be involved in that process, he said. “I would support tougher regulations for kids as long as those regulations don’t make it impossible for responsible parents to enjoy the

sport with their kids.” Bryant said parental supervision and the use of protective gear are crucial elements of responsible ATV riding. “The biggest problem is that some parents allow their kids to ride without supervision and

Athletes medal at elementary track provincials BY

Mission Record

Highlander recruited by the Heat

Former Heritage Park Highlander Mackenzie Carnes signed to play basketball with the UBC Okanagan Heat. Carnes had a memorable career at Heritage, leading the team to the provincials in 2007 and 2009, while serving as captain of the team from Grade 10 onwards. She was also named HPSS Female Athlete of the

Year for four straight years. Carnes also has extensive experience at the provincial level playing for the U14, U15, and U16 B.C. teams. Mackenzie is also an exceptional student finishing with a 90 per cent average in both Grade 10 and 11 and will be studying medicine in hope of becoming a physician.

Many of Mission’s young track and field athletes brought home medals from the provincial championships, which were held at Richmond’s Minoru Park over the weekend. Durieu Elementary had a successful team, led by the shotputting Lambert family. Hanna Lambert won the girls Grade 4 shot put, and her brother Michael Lambert took silver in the Grade 5 high jump and fourth in the shot put. The Lamberts, as much a battery of cannons as a family, have two older brothers, Adam and Jesse, who are representing Hatzic Secondary at the high school provincial championships this weekend. Olivia Kunze took two medals for Durieu, second in the Grade 5 shot put and third in the high jump. Jesse Walker, Grade 7, of West Heights Elementary, came home with no less than four medals: Gold in the 80m hurdles, silver in both the high jump and 200m dash, and bronze in the 100m dash. Angela Obasohan of Christine Morrison took the gold medal in the shot put. Albert McMahon school had a big team at the event, and

brought home many medals. Megan Radom, Grade 5, took gold in the 1,200m, silver in the 800m and silver in the medley relay. She dominated her field, then ran the Grade 7 medley relay against girls two years older, and had the team in second place after her run. Jaimee Hanna, Grade 7, also won a silver with that medley relay. Andrew Strelezki, Grade 7, won bronzes in both the high jump and triple jump. Shawn Brar, Grade 6, earned silver in discus. Luke Moore, Mac Roy and Preston Lawlor won silver in the Grade 4 60m shuttle relay. Ben Kroeker happened to be at the meet supporting the Moores and Radoms and he ran the relay in an absent athlete’s place, and won a silver medal. Windebank had two athletes participate. Jennifer Kell and Kara Williams were part of a silver medal winning medley relay team, together with students from Albert McMahon. Kell also won individual gold in the 1,200m and silver in the 800m. “It was a wonderful experience for the kids – one they will never forget and one that they can build on,” said David Cyr, vice-principal of West Heights Elementary.

Fishing with your kids – start them young F

or the last few weeks I have been covering the subject of fathers fishing with their children. I expected to be done with this, but more has come up. The question was asked again; how old should my kids be before I start taking them fishing? How about conception? All joking aside, there is no set age. I know I started both my girls when I was confident they were able to hold on to their fishing rods, at age two. My friend Brad started taking his son along while his son was still in his cuddle seat. My mentor Phil Genova started teaching his son about fly tying at 18 months. Another friend of mine, Claude, had his daughter float fishing at three. The only determining factor that

I can think of is safety; when you can take them along with you safely, it’s time. If you truly want your children to follow you in your endeavors, heed the proverb: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” The second annual Je Alouette Fish Derby will be held on Sunday, June 13. Tickets are available at the Maple Ridge Chamber of Commerce, 604463-3366. The third annual Greg Clark Memorial Family Fishing Derby will be held during the B.C. Free Family Fishing Weekend, on Saturday, June 19. Tickets are available from

The report

Our Lower Mainland lakes are not fishing well due to the unsettled weather. For better success try to time your fishing around the sunny breaks. For wet ff (sinking) fly fishing try: Big Black, Nation’s Black, Red Spratley, Baggy Shrimp, Coachman, Cased Caddis, Halfback, Dragon Nymph, Carey Special, Zulu, or Doc Spratley. For dry (floating) fly fishing try: Tom Thumb, Renegade, Black Gnat, Foam Ant, Griffith Gnat, Royal Coachman, or Elk Hair Caddis. For kokanee try: Red

Weltz

Abbis, Red Spratley, Bloodworm, Royal Coachman, San Juan Worm, or red Micro Leach. Local bass and crappie are slow also. Try: Wooly Bugger, Big Black, Blood Leach, Matuka, Popin Bugs, Chernobyl Ants, Crayfish, Clouser’s Deep Minnow, Epoxy Minnow, Deceiver, Dolly Whacker, Bucktail, Hair Frog, Irresistible, or Tom Thumb. The fishing on our interior lakes is slow for the above reasons as well. For wet fly fishing try: Chironomid, Pumpkinhead, 52 Buick, Bloodworm, Wooly Bugger, Micro Leach, olive Matuka, Butler’s Bug, Halfback, Baggy Shrimp, Sooboo, or Green Spratley, For dry fly fishing try: Lady McConnel, Irresistible, Big Ugly, Double Hackled Peacock, Tom Thumb, Royal Wulff, or Elk Hair Caddis.

The Fraser River is in freshet. For better success, focus on the cleaner water in and around its feeder streams. For cutthroat and rainbow try: Rolled Muddler, Mickey Finn, Tied Down Minnow, Professor, Lioness, Kaufmann Stone, Coachman, Zulu, Chez Nymph, Black Gnat, Sooboo, Irresistible, Elk Hair Caddis, or Stimulator. For dolly varden try: large (#4 to #2) Rolled Muddler, Zonker, Clouser’s Deep Minnow, Dolly Whacker, black Popsicle, or Big Black. The Stave River is fair to good for cutthroat and rainbow. The Harrison River is high but still fishable. Wild pacific salmon are part of our heritage; say no to the foreign national companies and their farmed fish.

Action urged on domestic violence Better training and coordination between services needed, according to report BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

More than one in 10 of homicides in B.C. is a result of domestic violence, and a B.C. Coroners Service review panel has urged the provincial government to put more resources into handling the cases. The coroners service report, released Tuesday, echoes findings of an inquest into the murder-suicide of the family of Peter Lee, and the subsequent study of the case by Mary-Ellen Turpel-Lafond, B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth. All those reports urged the government to develop better training and coordination between police and other services, and dedicated prosecutors to handle domestic violence cases before they escalate. In the early morning

hours of Sept. 4, 2007, Lee forced his way into his Oak Bay family home and stabbed his estranged wife, her parents and their sixyear-old son Christian to death before killing himself. Lee was on bail at the time on a charge of crashing his vehicle in an attempt to injure his wife, and was under a court order to stay away from his family. “The recommendations are completely consistent with the report that I did into the homicide of Christian Lee, and I think they’re consistent with the coroner’s jury recommendation, and I think they’re consistent with the observation that has been there, which is British Columbia is lacking a consistent and effective system for domestic violence,” Turpel-Lafond said Tuesday.

All three reports identified a 2008 pilot project in Langley that used specialized Crown prosecutors, and showed success in protecting the most vulnerable people, she said. But the government ended the project due to cost. Attorney-General Mike de Jong said the government is making progress, but domestic violence has to be dealt with in all communities. “It works well, sadly, in areas where there is the volume of cases,” de Jong said of the pilot project. “The challenge, and I think this emerges from the report, is to ensure that prosecutors and police across the province have the training they need to identify the signs of domestic violence and to either investigate or prosecute

accordingly.” Turpel-Lafond said dedicated prosecutors would help get cases through the courts more quickly. “If you have a year hiatus between a charge and trial date, a lot can change, including the victim may have been manipulated or persuaded to be back with the perpetrator,” she said. “Or there could be multiple incidents in the intervening period.” NDP public safety critic Mike Farnworth also stressed the need for specialized prosecutors. “There’s a lot that’s got to be done, and frankly we’ve had one too many wake-up calls,” Farnworth said.

Transit smart cards, turnstiles a step closer in Lower Mainland BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

The makers of Hong Kongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Octopus card and Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oyster card are on TransLinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s short list to set up similar smart cards and turnstiles to control payment and access to the transit system here. The faregates and cards system â&#x20AC;&#x201C; initially estimated to cost $171 million â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is to be in place by 2013.

(MISSION RESIDENTS ONLY)

TransLink expects to sign a contract by the end of the year with one of three groups of bidding firms: â&#x20AC;˘ Thales/Octopus International Projects, maker of Hong Kongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Octopus card. â&#x20AC;˘ Serco/Parkeon, provider of a smart card system in Perth, Australia. â&#x20AC;˘ Cubic/IBM, operator of the London Oyster card system. All three bidders are suppliers of multiple

existing systems in either Europe, Australia or major U.S. cities. They were picked from 10 initial groups to submit detailed bids after a request for proposals is issued in mid-June. Passengers will be able to load money on their smart cards, which have an electronic chip, and then use them for fare payment by swiping them past a reader as they board and disembark.

ically debited from their accounts. Along with the cards, some form of turnstiles or electronic faregates would be installed at all SkyTrain and SeaBus stations, ending unrestricted access to the rapid transit system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Faregates will address the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-standing concern with fare evasion on SkyTrain and promote a greater sense of security,â&#x20AC;? TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated 5.6 per cent of SkyTrain passengers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay to ride, depriving the system of $6 million a year, but critics contend staffing turnstiles are likely to cost far more than any money recovered. The existing Expo Line will require major renovations to accommodate turnstiles. The Canada Line opened using the same honour system as the rest of SkyTrain, but it is designed to allow an easier retrofit to add turnstiles. The province is providing $40 million towards the costs and another $30 million will come from the federal government, with TransLink covering the rest. The new card system promises convenience for riders. It could also eliminate the current three-zone payment system in favour of charging passengers based on either distance travelled or time on the system. Passengers might be able to take advantage of deep discounts offered to travel at off-peak times, very cheap fares to travel short distances and automatic refunds when travel times exceed standards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could have a seat sale on particular routes where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to build ridership,â&#x20AC;? TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie said. He said the existing zone system will remain in place initially and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no likelihood of ever completely eliminating cash payment. Exactly what capabilities TransLink will seek are yet to be determined. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also expected the system will give much better data on actual transit use and aid TransLink in optimizing service. The contract will include operation and maintenance of the system for 10 years.

he said, noting that the Mission concert falls on the anniversary of the beaches of Normandy being stormed, on June 6, 1944. “We’re going to be playing a lot of numbers from that era,” said Richards. “In the Mood” was a popular song of the time, and there will be many others such as “Slow Boat to China” and “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree.” These will be sung by various performers including Diane Lines, Jennifer Hayes and Jamie Croil, and Richards will sing “I’ll be seeing you.” Richards’ music has mass appeal, but it is a particular treat for those with a few more miles on their odometers. “Seniors have memories they associate with the tunes we’re playing, and they like to hear the songs and remember.” Richards track record as a performer is unmatched. He will be playing his 75th consecutive New Year’s Eve performance, for a dance in the Whistler Ballroom at the River Rock Casino in Richmond. He formed his first dance band while at Vancouver’s Magee High School, and has been performing ever since.

Centre on Burrard Street in Vancouver. The show was broadcast throughout the Lower Mainland and northern Washington state from CJOR Radio. The childhood loss of an eye kept Richards out of the service so he spent the war years creating happy memories for the thousands of soldiers and their families who listened to his music. His band was comprised of some musicians too old to be in the service, some too young, and some servicemen in uniform who were stationed locally. Every week fans sang along with songs like “Sentimental Journey”, “White Cliffs of Dover” and “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.” The radio show aired for two years, and became a touchstone for thousands of B.C. families waiting for word of their loved ones overseas. His music has swung many accolades his way. Richards was appointed to the Order of Canada, has the Queen’s Jubilee Award, is in the B.C. Entertainment Hall of

Fame, was given his own “best seat in the house” after 70 years of entertaining at the PNE, and is on the B.C. Lions Wall of Fame. He was the producer and music director for the CFL team’s halftime shows from 1955 to 1980. He wrote the lyrics for “Roar You Lions, Roar,” and put it to the music of the song “I Love the Sunshine of Your Smile.” The team is back at Empire Stadium this season, while work is being done at BC Place, and Richards is back doing the halftime shows for another season. Richards is the poster boy for active seniors. Asked why he keeps at it, at the age of 91, he explains that his publicist got that wrong. “Oh, to be 91 again,” he jibes. He’s 92. “I’m still active, and doing what I love, and that is a factor.” he said. “And, I have a young wife, and that’s a factor.” Richards’ performance is being sponsored by the credit unions of Mission.

Artists with a cause For Mission’s fifth annual Seniors’ Week, local artists work will be auction off to benefit the local Friendly Visitor Program. This program helps give quality of life to shut-ins, by pairing them with a long term visitor. Doris Paterson is one of the artists. She has won accolades for her work, and was Mission’s Woman of the Year in 2001. Her painting has progressed from earlier works of realistic water colours to minimalistic abstracts rendered in acrylic by knife and in series. John Keresman has been drawing and painting for most of his life. He is well known for creating crests, which he molds and paints by hand, for organizations such as the Royal Canadian Navy, RCMP, Mission Chamber of Commerce,

and municipalities. He is also an expert in painting seascapes and he has donated one which will be auctioned. June Pender enrolled in an art school in London for three years. She served with the British Admiralty in the printing and art department. She emigrated to Can-

Mission’s official tartan now has a permanent home inside the art gallery on First Avenue. The new Mission Tartan Gift Shoppe opens this Saturday, June 5 at 1 p.m. The shop is run by the Mission Spinners and Weavers Association, the group that created the tartan, and also features work by Heleen DeBoer. The shop is located immediately to the left when you enter the arts centre’s front doors. It used to be the gallery’s gift shop, explained Myrna Matthews, a member of MSWA. Now those items are placed around the building, and the room is rented by the MSWA. The shop will promote Mission’s tartan first of all, said DeBoer, a local artist, who is also president of MSWA. The tartan took close to 10 years to create and is registered in Scotland.

“It was a long process,” said De Boer. “We started with some crayons, then we wrapped some colours to see how they would come together.” The piece was refined again and again until the perfect balance was achieved. The six colours represent a unique aspect of the community: black is for the coal and railways; brown is for the cedar shakes; blue is for the Fraser River; dark green is for the municipal forest, pale green is for farming; and salmon pink is for salmon and berries. Because the tartan is registered to the district, anyone recreating it has to have permission to do so. MSWA has produced a number of items including place mats and vests which are now available to the public. Because MSWA is a nonprofit organization with just 14 members, the cost of renting the space was too high. That’s when DeBoer offered to share the space with the group.

She’s a fashion designer, working with hand-woven products. Everything is original. She has scarves, jackets, capes and hats for sale at the new store. DeBoer first discovered her love for fibers when she was a child in school. “I’m a fiber fanatic,” she admits. She learned to spin and weave when she was a child and she’s been teaching the trade for 45 years. She’s involved with the fashion program at UFV and she puts on workshops for guilds and schools. She’s also doing a workshop in Mission in July called tablet weaving, the oldest form of weaving. When the store opens, there will often be a member of MSWA working and demonstrating the art. The Mission Arts Centre is open Tuesdays to Saturdays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. It is located at 33529 First Ave. For more information call 604-826-0029.

The Abbotsford Concert Band will be playing at Fraser River Heritage Park tomorrow night at the Envision Twilight Concert Series. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Abbotsford Concert Band and Hatzic musicians up next at Twilight concerts The Abbotsford Concert Band returns to Fraser River Heritage Park on Friday, June 4 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. for the Envision Twilight Concert Series . The band has been a part of the music community in the Fraser Valley for 50 years, playing a wide assortment of music from marches to dance music to symphonic festival pieces. They have played at festivals, concerts, parades – just about any event where music can lift the heart. The Band currently has about 40 members ranging in age from teens to the 80s. The band started in 1960 with eight young musicians and grew to over 60 members in the first year. In 1965, an adult band that had been playing as a small group amalgamated with the junior band, forming the nucleus of the Abbotsford Concert Band. They performed regular summer concerts at Jubilee Park and also traveled as musical ambassadors, playing in parades and concerts in B.C., Alberta, Washington and further. Currently, the band performs over a dozen engagements each year from community events and fundraisers to festivals and concerts. This year marks the Abbotsford Concert Band’s 50th anniversary. They will host a reunion on the first weekend of November 2010, with a concert on Nov. 6 at the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium and ask that past members contact kevin.woo@ abbyband.com.

The Envision Twilight Concert Series brings Hatzic Secondary School’s Jazz Band and Affirmation Choir to Fraser River Heritage Park on Friday, June 9 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. The jazz band, under the direction of Julie Aldridge has been in existence for five years.

Members rehearse diligently both at the school and on their own and the payoffs have been enormous. Last year the students had the incredible opportunity to compete in New Orleans against high calibre U.S. high schools and received a silver medal for their

efforts. This year, they competed at the Whistler Music Festival and attained a high silver standing. You may have heard them this year (if you woke up early enough), getting SEE CONCERT PG.34

Albert Visser went home to his Lord on Tuesday, May 18 at 91 years of age. He was born April 20, 1919 to Simon and Margret Visser in Foremost Alberta, the second of two children. On June 30, 1943 he married Grace Bos. In 1945 they moved to Abbotsford and have lived here since. Albert was predeceased by Grace, his loving wife of 66 years, on May 23, 2009.

Albert worked hard all his life: farming by age 15, blacksmithing, operating bulldozers, opening Al’s Corner Store on McKenzie Rd., and starting Visser’s Realty Ltd. (now Century 21 Ace). His daily walk with his Lord was a high priority with Albert, and he continued daily Bible reading and prayer to the end of his life. Firm traditions of family devotions and church attendance, generous donations to many Christian charities, and active participation in several Christian associations were hallmarks of his active spiritual life. Sharing the good news of Jesus Christ was a high priority for Albert all his life. Albert also believed in being active in his community. He served on the MSA Hospital Board for 32 years, on the Westminster Real Estate Board for several years, as chairman of the Christian Businessman’s Association for 8 years and was very active in the Social Credit party and the Reform party for over 50 years.
