District apologizes to property owners Admits mistakes in 15 grow-op searches

EXPANDING ROT POTS

BY CAROL AUN

District takes recycling to a new level with composting program for household food waste.

Mission Record

The District of Mission is apologizing to 15 property owners after a review found there was insufficient evidence to conclude their homes were being used for marijuana grow operations. Paul Gipps, Mission’s deputy chief administrative officer, spoke with a few property owners last Wednesday who requested to be kept up to date because of pending property transactions. In total 70 owners will be receiving review notices in the mail, and 15 will have their status as a controlled substance property changed, and fees reversed. An analysis of the 70 open files was completed June 1, said Gipps, adding a third party was used to help with the work. Open cases are those identified by the Public Safety Inspection Team where owners have not paid the $5,200 inspection fee. The district is now looking into closed cases in which homeowners have not completed the remediation orders, which detail hazards on the property that must be repaired, but have paid the fine. Reviews have been ongoing since March, and will be finished by month’s end, said Gipps. A summary will be presented to council June 27, at 7:30 p.m., at municipal hall, and a report regarding the future of the Public Safety Inspection program will be discussed at a later meeting. Mission’s Public Safety Inspection Program was launched in 2008 and suspended in January after a group of residents rallied together and threatened legal action against the district after their homes were searched.

Second man charged 25-year-old arrested in connection with 2008 double murder in Mission BY VIKKI HOPES Black Press

Guthrie McKay and Lisa Dudley were killed inside their Greenwood Drive home in 2008. Two people have now been charged in connection with their deaths.

A second man has been charged in connection to the 2008 murder of Lisa Dudley and Guthrie McKay of Mission. Justin Andrew MacKinnon, 25, was arrested Thursday in Sydney, Nova Scotia and charged with two counts of firstdegree murder. He made his first court appearance Friday in Sydney provincial court and was then transported to B.C., where he will appear in Abbotsford provincial court today (June 9).

Investigators believe that since the September 2008 murders, MacKinnon has resided in four provinces – B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia. Jack Douglas Woodruff, 52, of Surrey was charged May 13 with the same counts, after a 31-month investigation by the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). Woodruff’s next appearance in Abbotsford provincial court is also on June 9. Sgt. Peter Thiessen, responding for IHIT, said MacKinnon’s arrest was

a result of IHIT working in partnership with the Cape Breton Regional Police Service and with the RCMP in Nova Scotia. MacKinnon’s criminal history in B.C. includes two previous convictions, according to the provincial court database. One was for an assault in March 2006 in Terrace, for which he received a 45-day conditional sentence. The other was for assault and uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm in August 2008 in Surrey. He was sentenced in November of that year to time served, as well as 18 months’ probation and a 10-year firearms ban. Dudley, 37, and her boyfriend McKay, 33, were found by a neigh-

Mounties look for new clues BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Local Mounties are digging into an unsolved hit and run case from 1987 and are hoping new clues will surface. Joan Kathleen Walker, 30, was walking eastbound on the north side of Lougheed Highway, just past Dewdney Trunk Road, when she was struck by a grey, four-door vehicle heading west. She suffered multiple injuries, including bone fractures and internal bleeding, and was killed. According to witnesses at the time, the victim walked out into traffic several times prior to the crash. The suspect vehicle was also weaving around on the road, crossing the centre line. Eyewitnesses didn’t get a li-

cence plate, and the vehicle fled the scene, said Mission RCMP traffic supervisor Const. George Teixeira, adding it was dark and raining heavily that night. Details of the incident are unclear as weather conditions prevented investigators from determining the point of impact or whether the victim was struck and flew over the vehicle, or was run over by it. “There was not a lot of traffic at the time,” said Teixeira. “The witnesses were several hundred metres behind the suspect vehicle.” Toxicology tests showed there was no alcohol or drugs in Walker’s body when she died. Investigators at the time conducted a thorough investigation, checking all possible

suspect vehicles, body shops in the Fraser Valley area, and even local bars where the driver might have been seen leaving impaired. Hypnosis, a method not used by police anymore, was also used to help witnesses recall the event. A re-enactment was filmed for CrimeStoppers a

year later. All efforts failed to identify a suspect, but the file remains open. Cold cases are reviewed every year or two to determine if there is any new information to work with, explained Teixeira, who looked over the case extensively and has been in touch with Walker’s daughter. He knows the vehicle that hit Walker was probably taken off the road a long time ago, but he’s hoping someone with a guilty conscious will come forward, or someone who might have heard about the incident somewhere can help shed more light on what happened 24 years ago. It would be nice to give Walker’s daughter some closure, said Teixeira.

bour on Sept. 22, 2008 at a rural home in the 31000 block of Greenwood Drive four days after a 911 call was received that six shots had been fired in the area. McKay was pronounced dead on the scene. Dudley was in severe medical distress and died en route to hospital. Cpl. Mike White was given a written reprimand and docked one day’s pay in March of

this year after an RCMP disciplinary hearing determined that he failed to properly investigate the shots-fired call. He left the scene after being there for 10 minutes and did not follow up the next day, the board of adjudication concluded. IHIT has not revealed how Woodruff or MacKinnon knew the victims, but has said the shooting was targeted.

Mission Community Services Society is looking for donations of toiletries to Äll our toiletry kits that are given out to members of our community in need. A typical toiletry kit would include the following items: Brush or comb, disposable razors, shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, face cloth, deodorant and feminine hygiene products.

Presents the 15th Annual

Convicted sex offender back in custody A police search of Hope and the surrounding areas has turned up an Abbotsford sex offender wanted on a Canadawide warrant. James Douglas Campbell, 60, was arrested without incident by Abbotsford Police just after 4 p.m. on Monday. He was found riding a bicycle on a logging road near Yale and the Fraser Canyon. Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said several members of the public reported seeing Campbell in the area after police released information that he had used ATMs and pur-

chased products at convenience stores in Deroche (east of Mission) and Hope. MacDonald said Campbell had been in Deroche last Wednesday. Police accessed banking information and obtained sur- Campbell veillance video of him using an ATM and buying items at a convenience store. Campbell was next tracked to Hope, where he visited a con-

venience store at about noon on Sunday. MacDonald said police were concerned because Campbell had run out of cash and could rely on others for money, transportation and accommodation. Campbell was wanted for violating his parole conditions after failing to return home on May 27. He did not have permission to be away overnight or to leave the area. He had been released from prison on May 11 after serving a 24-year sentence for sexual

offences against three girls – ages 12, nine and seven. He abducted one of them while she was walking to school. His criminal history also includes theft, break-and-enter, forgery and illegal possession of a firearm. Upon his release, Campbell was living in Abbotsford with his 90-year-old wife. “This is obviously good news from a public safety standpoint,” MacDonald said of Campbell’s arrest. The Mission and Upper Fraser Valley RCMP assisted in the investigation.

Sheila Schmidt, outgoing board president of the Fraser Valley Aboriginal Children and Family Services Society, speaks during a celebration in Chilliwack on May 26.

the Xyolhmeylh name of the earlier version – is not supported by all Sto:lo communities, and it may not lead to a healing of the political rift that split the Sto:lo into two camps, the Sto:lo Nation and the Sto:lo Tribal Council. Differences over child protection as delivered by Xyolhmeylh — which operates in Mission as well — was one of the main factors in the 2004 break-up, and differences over child apprehension policy remain. Sheila Schmidt, president of the newly-created Fraser Valley Aboriginal Children and Family Services Society, which now operates the Xyolhmeylh agency, would not comment on that policy, saying it is a political issue

and the board is a nonpolitical body. “Today, we’re celebrating moving forward,� she said. “Today, we’re celebrating the passing of the reins from the ministry to the Fraser Valley.� In 2007, the B.C. Children and Families Ministry took over day-to-day operations of the troubled agency, but on Dec. 17 last year, a delegation enabling agreement was signed by provincial and federal officials that returned control of Xyolhmeylh back into the hands of the aboriginal community. Deb Foxcroft, assistant deputy minister at the children’s ministry, said the agreement that will allow the Sto:lo to provide care for their own

Lawrence Roberts, a Tzeachten First Nation councillor and Sto:lo representative on the board, said, “it’s really good to know our aboriginal people are finally taking control of the children again.� He said the best way for aboriginal children to find their identity is through their own culture and traditions.

to empty. Campos sees the green bins throughout her neighbourhood on collection day and hopes the rest of the community will embrace the program too. Mission’s environmental services manager, Mike Younie, expects every home in Mission to have a rot pot by the end of the month. Waste audits continually show about 50 per cent of trash going into the landfill can be diverted. Food waste can be turned into a better product: compost, said Younie, adding food waste not only takes up valuable landfill space, it also creates methane, which is harmful to the environment. Up to 80 per cent of residents in the pilot project area still take part in the program, and have seen organics in their garbage reduced by 50 per cent, according to Younie.

The rot pot will complement backyard composting by collecting other organic waste, such as bones and moldy bread, and it is a good alternative for those without a compost heap. Feed it anything that will rot, but don’t include plastics, styrofoam, glass or metal products. The small green bins will be collected weekly and can even be put out if it’s not full, as the rot pot cannot exceed 20 kg in weight. The bin isn’t bear-proof and should be stored inside in a secured area until collection day. In the past, yard waste was collected and shipped to Abbotsford for composting, but now a new contractor will be handling the material at the local landfill. Through upgrades to the landfill, there is now a one hectare space for the composting to take place, Younie explained. Garbage has dropped

about 40 per cent from two years ago because wood is being pulled out and recycled, and the cell at the landfill that was scheduled to close this year will continue to be operational for another year or two, he added. Mission is one of the first municipalities in B.C. to undertake such a program. We’ve been doing it for years, but haven’t been promoting it, said Younie. “We’re making huge strides in managing solid waste.” Residents who don’t live within the curbside collection area can bring their food waste to the landfill for composting free of charge. It is expected all Mission residents can pick up some free finished compost on special occasions throughout the year, as advertised by the district.

Expires: June 13, 2011

Rot pots will be gracing Mission streets starting next week. The district is dropping off one of these small green bins, along with an information flyer and magnet, at every home on its refuse collection route in an effort to divert garbage from the landfill. The results of a pilot project last year involving 80 residences were so successful, the district is rolling out the program to the rest of the community this year. Now, everyone can be a rotten potter. The program is easy to use, said Alejandra Campos, who moved to Mission from Langley last year shortly before she and her family were asked to participate. Campos was already an avid recycler and backyard composter, but now the task is even easier. Whenever Campos is preparing meals or cleaning up afterwards, she takes out the small container from underneath the kitchen sink and deposits all food scraps and used napkins in it. The container usually sits on top of the counter, saving her multiple trips to the garbage can on the other side of the kitchen. When the container is full, which happens about every two days, she empties it into the rot pot in the garage. Both bins are easy to carry and move around. “It’s easy and convenient,” she said, explaining instead of putting the food scraps in the garbage can, it’s simply going into a different holder. Now she no longer worries about mixing the backyard composter, or rodents and wildlife that might be attracted to it. She advises new users to line the rot pot with newspaper, and layer it with more to help absorb liquid, keep odours down, and make it easier

Canada Post can’t afford strike

When it comes to the Canada Postal workers strike, one question is likely to be asked a lot. Something like this, perhaps: “Who will notice?” But the same factors that make regular “snail” mail less relevant are also likely to make whatever action the postal workers’ union takes into a long one, perhaps rivalling the epic postal strikes of the 70s and early 80s. The difference this time is that the union is in a far less strong bargaining position. Courier services and e-mail have cut deeply into Canada Post’s core business – even having bills arrive by e-mail is no longer uncommon, and paying bills electronically is nearing universality – so a postal strike no longer has the possibility of bringing commerce to a standstill. That’s not to say that Canada Post is unnecessary. Social assistance cheques of various kinds still arrive via mail and, except for hand delivery, the mail is the most effective way of getting original copies of documents across the country. But what a strike will do is encourage people to make even more use of direct deposit, electronic communications and courier services as a substitute, hastening the transformation of Canada Post into just another commercial courier service, moving farther away from their prime position of being Canada’s official carrier. Both sides in this dispute have a lot to lose. Far from avoiding wage rollbacks for new hires – one of the key issues in the dispute – the union stands the chance of decreasing the long-term need for new employees. Canada Post can’t afford the lost business that will never return if they are too stubborn in the negotiations. -Penticton Western News

Yale treaty is the toughest yet The treaty with the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon was hastily approved as the B.C. legislature adjourned for the summer last week. This treaty was by far the most significant work of the legislature session, and it may make or break the hugely expensive B.C. treaty effort. Yet it received all of four hours of debate during the abbreviated spring legislature session and will probably get little attention when it reaches the House of Commons for final approval. A few eyebrows were raised when Chief Justice Lance Finch of the B.C. Court of Appeal entered the legislature to give royal assent to the treaty and a handful of other bills. This would normally be the duty of Lt.-Gov. Steven Point, but he was on a fourday visit to promote literacy at reserves in the Quesnel and Williams Lake area. I’m advised by the lieutenant-governor’s staff that this trip had been scheduled for some time, and his absence had nothing to do with the treaty awaiting his signature.

It is purely a coincidence that ed whatever order had been Point is a former tribal chair imposed by Sto:lo clans on of the Sto:lo Nation, which the fishing sites.

This disrupt- ers aren’t in treaty talks.

B.C. Views

Fletcher

Polak cited a section that is now standard in modern treaties. It protects the constitutional rights of other aboriginals where a court upholds a claim to Yale territory, which they will soon own as feesimple property. Polak insisted the Yale treaty will ease tensions in the disputed fishing sites, where violent incidents have taken place. She argued that exclusive access to the main areas of dispute was long ago included in the Yale’s original reserves. The treaty will provide a process for temporary access by other people, native and non-native. We will see if she is right, perhaps as early as this summer. There are two regions of B.C. where the encroachment of European settlers led to shooting wars with aboriginal people. One was the CaribooChilcotin and the other was the Fraser Canyon.

ness but I’ve never experienced something like this first-hand. I do not know this man, and have never seen him before, yet he opened his wallet and gave unselfishly to help me. Whoever you are, I would like to say thank you, and I want to assure you that I will pay this good deed forward! Jamie Hayes

Improve pedestrian access Editor, The Record: I have lived on Second Avenue in Mission for two years. In that time I have noticed a few problem areas while trying to walk to places in our town. 1. Jack Poole Park: Are you aware that there is no safe way to walk to the park? When you go over the Murray overpass and turn onto Horn, you have to cross the highway twice without any crosswalk. I was with my two young girls in a stroller and let me just say, I won’t bother doing

that again. 2. Mr. Pets: If you try to walk from Second to Mr. Pets, there is no crosswalk. The closest crosswalks are at Stave Lake or at Murray, but in both cases you have to walk along the shoulder, which doesn’t feel that safe with the speed that cars go on the highway, especially when pushing a stroller. 3. The Junction: I walked to Canadian Tire a couple weeks ago by crossing over Murray and walking along London Ave, and realized there is no sidewalk along the

road. I made it, but again it felt like I was too close to the traffic. On a related note, are there any plans to link the Safeway complex to the Junction using a pedestrian overpass similar to the one by the WestCoast Express? I often see people walking on the shoulder of the highway to get to the Junction, so I am sure a pedestrian overpass would be well used. It would be terrible if nothing was done and someone was hit while walking on the shoulder of the bridge. Erik Mission

The right position on P3 water Editor, The Record: An open letter to mayor and council: I want to congratulate you on taking a stand against the P3 water project endorsed by Abbotsford. You have made the right choice. Please do not allow Abbotsford Mayor George Peary’s bluster and professed anger affect your judgement. I, for one, deeply resent the suggestion attributed to Peary that the opposition to this project comes from within the “labour movement.” I live on a disability pension and am very much in favour of the private sector in many, many areas. Some things, however, do not belong in private hands. Water is one of those things. From my perspective, this project was a very bad one from the perspective of Mission’s citizens (and those of Abbotsford), both current and future. I firmly believe

Unexpected generosity Editor, The Record: On Friday night I experienced true kindness from a total stranger. While I was at the till at Safeway I realized that I had grabbed a wrong item, and told the cashier I would be right back, and to ring in the man behind me. When I got back the cashier, she told me this man had paid for my items, over $11 in total. I was in shock, not because I don’t believe in kind-

10:00 AM – 2:00 PM

keeping water supplies public is the only viable option now and in the long term. Personally, I do not use city water, living on a small acreage and getting our water from a deep well, but I know many people who do. Eventually, I am sure that our property will have the option of connecting to city water. However well intentioned the private company involved in this proposed venture may be, or appear to be, today, there is no way of knowing how they will behave in years to come as their management will inevitably change. It is, therefore, essential that our water remain in public hands. Again, thank you for refusing to take part and refusing road access to Stave Lake for the purpose of the P3 project. Please do not deviate from this position. Chris Ryan

Climate experts study extreme weather BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Weather and climate experts from across Canada are gathered in Victoria this week to share their latest findings on the extreme events they expect to increase as industrialized societies continue to pump more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Scientists are presenting papers that examine all sorts of extreme weather events, including high winds, blizzards and tornadoes. Studies also examine ocean effects such as increased acidity and lower oxygen content. B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake welcomed delegates Monday to the 45th annual meeting of the the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society. Lake reminded delegates of B.C.’s “aggressive” target to reduce B.C.’s greenhouse gas emissions 33 per cent by 2020 and 80 per cent by 2050. B.C.’s carbon tax on fossil fuels is about to increase for the third time since it was introduced in

2008. On July 1 the tax goes up just over a cent to 5.56 cents on a litre of gasoline, 6.39 cents on a litre of diesel and similar increases for natural gas, jet fuel, coal and other carbon-based fuels. B.C. Premier Christy Clark has committed to follow through with another round of carbon tax increases in 2012, and is continuing former premier Gordon Camp-

bell’s policy that all government operations should be “carbon neutral.” That proved controversial this spring as the Pacific Carbon Trust chose what projects the Crown corporation would fund with carbon credits that school districts and health regions are required to buy. Among the recipients is EnCana Corp., whose natural gas wells and facilities in northeastern B.C. put it among the province’s largest greenhouse gas emitters. Opposition critics pointed out that companies such as EnCana are exempt from carbon tax on their industrial process emissions, and school districts end up subsidizing their cleanup efforts while struggling to balance budgets. Lake said B.C.’s 60 school districts paid a total of $5 million to be come carbon neutral in 2010. NDP education critic Robin Austin said the B.C. government should use the carbon offset payments to upgrade the energy efficiency of school facilities, rather than giving the money to profitable corporations.

Premier likes trail system BY PHIL MELNYCHUK Black Press

B.C.’s new premier likes the idea of stitching together 300 kilometres of trail along the Fraser River from Hope to Vancouver. Christy Clark got an update recently about the Experience the Fraser project, which dreams of a multi-use trail on both sides of the river, joining culture, recreation, tourism and exercise. “We’re hoping to make this an international tourist sight,” comparable in impact to the Seine River in Paris, or the Rhine River in Germany, but mostly benefiting the local population, said MLA Marc Dalton. The group, included Langley Coun. Gayle

Martin, Mission Mayor James Atebe and Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley Regional District representatives reviewed progress so far, including two demonstration projects, one in Mission, the other in Langley. Dalton is on the Experience the Fraser team and said the premier was excited about the project and sees it as a legacy for future generations. Experience the Fraser was launched two years ago with $2.5 million in seed money. Two million of that was for developing a concept plan, most of which has been done, including two brainstorming sessions to ensure input from all sides. The remainder went to the Langley demonstration project, a trail that

opens in July connecting Fort Langley to Derby Reach Regional Park and Golden Ears Bridge; and for building a Spirit Square on the Mission river front. Dalton said the basic framework is now in place with buy-in from about 20 agencies. Most of phase one of the plan — consulting with the agencies — has been done, allowing for the more practical task of implementing the project over several years. A

map has been created to identify the various tourist attractions for the first 160 kilometres. “We have done the preliminary work and now we’re moving forward.” Much of the system is already in place, such as the trails along the river dikes, Dalton said. The existing Trans-Canada Trail also composes a large of the network. “But we’re trying to link everything and provide a long-term vision for both sides of the Fraser River.”

sponsibility for collecting newspapers, cans, bottles and everything else that now goes into municipal blue boxes onto product producers. That means a potential loss of control for cities used to running local recycling programs. Metro Vancouver officials say they hope something like blue box curbside pickup continues. “Most municipalities are really keen that there be a high level of service,” Metro planning manager Ken Carrusca said. “The fact it’s convenient and easy for residents means there’s a high participation rate.” But advocates say it’s conceivable the industry stewardship group might reject curbside pickup and force residents to instead take recyclables to depots instead. “That would be a disaster,” North Shore Recycling Society general manager Allen Lynch said. “People would get really ticked off if that were to happen.” Elderly people and oth-

ers without cars depend on curbside pickup, he said. A depot system is one option but less likely than some continued form of curbside pickup, according to Recycling Council of B.C. executive director Brock Macdonald. “I think it will likely look like a blue box curbside pickup system,” he said. The industry group might even opt to contract with cities or their contractors to continue the existing services, he said. Union reps, however, fear a push by industry stewards for low-cost privatized collection halt recycling pickup by civic workers in some cities. The producer group, which will include various retailers, grocers, the newspaper industry and others, will have three years to iron out details among themselves and with local cities, he said. “Everybody’s trying to understand what this transition will look like,” Macdonald said. “But there’s quite a bit of time to figure it out.” He doesn’t expect any deposit or eco fees that will be added to products to pay for the packaging takeback system, nor would there be any refund system to encourage returns as with beverage containers. Instead, he predicts businesses will simply absorb the new recycling costs and reflect it in their local prices. Until now the cost of blue box recycling was shifted onto local government, Macdonald said. “Now it’s going to be industry and the consumer that funds that rather than local taxpayers.” Home owners who now pay for recycling through a fee on their utility bills could see that amount go down, but some observers expect that money may increasingly fund pickup of organic food waste. While industry will shoulder the costs of the new system they’ll also get the revenue from the recyclables collected, a shift of in some cases millions of dollars a year from local cities or recycling societies. Environmental watchdogs also want to ensure the industry meets aggressive targets for recovering packaging and printed material and proves how much of what it collects is actually recycled.

Dewdney Elementary school held its last band concert for the foreseeable future, after 46 years of having a music program. Ron Schaufert taught band at the school for 36 years, and then volunteered for five more years after his retirement. Two parent volunteers have kept the program alive for the past four years, but with their children moving on to secondary school, there are no future plans for band at Dewdney. It has been a popular program, with 29 of the 73 students in grades 5-7 taking part. Principal Jim Toth said a final performance was held recently, to celebrate the 46 years of music.

For beginning drivers who love their mobile devices, it’s the perfect thing. A new free app from ICBC now lets learners practice the driving knowledge test on their iPhones and other Apple mobile devices. The app also includes the complete Learn to Drive Smart guide, all driver licensing locations and selected videos to help new drivers prepare for their test and be safe on the roads. “We believe this app will make it easier to practice, which we hope calms nerves and helps new drivers focus on learning to make smart driving decisions,” said Fred Hess, ICBC vice-president of driver licensing. The app’s practice test randomly generates 25 questions, replicating the real knowledge test, including correct procedures on right turns, driving in school zones and how to handle a vehicle that skids out of control. Videos provide help developing road safety skills and tips to pass the road test. Users who get 100 per cent on their practice test unlock “bonus videos,” according to ICBC.

Mission Canadian Tire would like to thank volunteers, sponsors and the community for their support.

Youth Fest draws more than 100 local teens On Saturday, May 7 Youth Fest was held at Mission Leisure Centre. This event was planned to be a part of National Youth Week which has been celebrated annually in Mission for the past four years. In the past, Mission Amateur Skateboarding Competitions (MASC events) were held annually at the Mission skate park. Declining attendance at this event led to discussions at various youth tables in Mission on how to better support our youth and offer them a bigger and better day of activities and events they could get excited about. Thus, like so many successful community events, a wide array of community partners and dedicated people came together for Youth Fest planning committee meetings, spearheaded by Amanda Tesluck – program coordinator for District of Mission, and Kirsten Hargreaves – social development manager with the district. The event offered a skateboarding competition, inflatable interactive activities generously sponsored by Mission Ministry of Children and Family Development, interactive book club reviews by the Mission Library and an overwhelming amount of prizes and giveaways. The evening saw a

youth dance take place on the dry floor curling rink. The success of the dance due in large part to the coordination and dedicated volunteer hours of Rhett Nicholson and the JOOI Club (Junior Optimist Club). The theme of the dance was “Tight and Bright” and youth were dressed up in neon donning glow sticks and having a blast! The youth dance also showcased local

youth band “Dry Rain” and local DJ SilverDisc who both did a fantastic job keeping the youth engaged and having fun! We are so fortunate in Mission to have such dedicated and hardworking citizens passionate about supporting youth. “With 30 people attending the first youth fest planning meeting and our committee being inundated with prize donations, the passion is very much alive in our

community, to put our heads together and work towards innovative and new opportunities to support our youth” said Hargreaves. Amanda Tesluck added: “I was really impressed by the events for youth by youth that JOOI coordinated, a big thank-you to all the adult volunteers.” If you feel yourself sliding into the “There’s nothing to do syndrome,” inquire about a

On June 7, the Mission Chamber and District of Mission hosted a joint meeting for developers and realtors interested in development in Mission. The meeting provided attendees with updates on the proposed DCC bylaw changes, GIS mapping improvements and variances being offered for inÄll vs. greenÄeld developments. “It is important that the development community is aware of the changes and new tools that the district is developing.” stated Sharon Fletcher, director of planning. Economic development ofÄcer Stacey Crawford facilitated the session, which included discussions on downtown revitalization. Development restrictions on height and multiuse were relayed to be the most signiÄcant impasses to enhanced development of the existing downtown. “It is important that we have open discussions with the development community to better understand local market conditions.” said Crawford. “It is this information that helps the district develop policy and attraction strategies for the community.” Local realtor and Chamber president Cal Crawford was pleased by the turnout and the new programs being offered by the district. “Any tool (GIS Mapping) that helps me better understand a site for clients ensures that I can provide the best service possible,” he said.

Thousands expected at annual event Sunday Kick off the summer at the 15th annual Children’s Festival at Fraser River Heritage Park this Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The theme is a medieval faire and everyone — kids and adults — is being encouraged to dress up. Judges will be out early to crown this year’s king and queen and knight Mission’s mayor Sir Jamesalot. A medieval village will be set up this year complete with Artisan’s Alley and a Town Square where children and put their parents in the Stocks and Sports Arenas. There will also be music, dancing, juggling, games, workstations, a bouncy balloon and lots more entertainment.

The main stage will feature: • The Trollsons: They have been entertaining audiences at festivals, special events, theatres and Children’s Festivals throughout the world since 1995. These extraordinary characters make mouths drop, and tourists flock to get their photos taken with them. They are professional performing trolls. When roving, they chat, tell jokes, sing songs, dance, play music (with accordian, drum and bells), matchmake, and generally cause mischief and merriment. The Trollsons stage shows feature masks, music, physical comedy, improvisation, and a special kind of audience interaction. The masks were made by award winning mask

designer Melody Anderson. • Jester Mike Battie: He will be the official court jester bringing his incredible juggling, unicycle and physical comedy skills. Be ready to laugh and participate in his hilarious show. Battie will not only be doing his show live on the stage, but will also be strolling around the festival conducting juggling workshops and playing tricks on young and old. • Academie Duello: This is a school of European swordplay and Western martial arts devoted to teaching the weapons of the historical gentleman and warrior. The martial arts training includes sword arts such as the rapier, sidesword, sword and shield, and long sword, as well

as the quarterstaff, spear, knife and unarmed combat. • Cathy Hardy and Boris Sichon: The duo, along with students, are coming together for a show featuring medieval music and percussion. • Jennie Bice with her Annwyn Studio Fiddlers will be performing medieval and renaissance melodies. The event is organized by the Mission Arts Council and one of its biggest events of the year, drawing thousand of children and their parents to the popular park. Admission is free and parking is by donation (min. $2). For more information about the Children’s Festival, visit missionartscouncil.ca.

MSS jazz band and Kayla Luky up next The Envision Twilight Concert Series presents Mission Secondary School Jazz Band on Friday, June 10 at Fraser River Heritage Park. The group consists of 30 members from Grades 7-12. They rehearse twice weekly, focusing on jazz from the early 1930s through to contemporary music. The group toured in Seattle this year, placing second with a silver rating at the Heritage Music Festival. The students were excellent ambassadors, and as such, were honoured with the Spirit of Seattle Award, which is presented to the group that best represents their school, community, and in this case, country. The June 10 show will feature music from Henry Mancini (Peter Gunn), Benny Goodman (Swingtime in the Rockies), Duke Ellington (C Jam Blues), and Ozzy Osbourne (Crazy Train) to name a few.

Manitoba musician Kayla Luky performs June 15 at Fraser River Heritage Park.

The Art in the Park program will highlight glass blown beadwork and jewelry from Ania Kyte; Gina Esche’s natural way to body wellness; and

beaded jewelry from Betty Sandmark. The Envision Twilight Concert Series welcomes Manitoba singer-songwriter Kayla Luky to Fraser River Heritage Park on Wednesday, June 15 from 7 to 8 p.m. After a brief time in Winnipeg and realizing that her heart wasn’t in city life, Luky returned to her small town roots, bought a big old house, and set to writing some songs straight from the heart. With a little help from friends performing on her latest album, The Time it Takes, Luky has surpassed the spare, straightforward sound of her previous folk-pop projects and created a bona fide alt-country album. Her localized lyrics, about such issues as pogey, puck bunnies and coffee shop complainers, promise to entertain. See TWILIGHT Page 24

What’s Happening in Mission

THE VALUE OF CLOSE FRIENDS

A study recently published in the American Sociological Review, based on data from the General Social Survey by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago, reveal that Americans today have fewer close friends than they did just twenty years ago. The average American had only two close friends in 2004, compared to three close friends in 1985. And perhaps even more disturbing was the finding that 25 percent of Americans reported having no one to confide in concerning important matters. Besides the obvious implications of this research, which suggest we are living lonelier lives, there is also cause for concern related to the increasing lack of social support. Having friends that you can confide in and ask for help is obviously a good thing, and probably doesn’t require academic research to confirm. However, many people may not be aware of additional research which links social isolation and loneliness to mental and physical illness. We would all do well to cultivate more close friendships; and the best way to have a friend is to be a friend. Allowing someone to confide in us, or helping someone with a chore or running an errand for them creates a social safety net that will be there when we need a friend. Without counsel plans go wrong,but with many advisors they succeed. — R.S.V Proverbs 15:22

Twisters medal in Kelowna Elliott Goodier makes a pad save during a recent ball hockey tournament that organizer hope will establish the game as a high school sport. Submitted photo

Roadrunners on the ball MSS wins second place in inaugural high school ball hockey event BY LARRY PRUNER Black Pres

Stick-wielding kids have long been spotted darting and deking on city streets, and in parking lots, lacrosse boxes and community centres. Now ball hockey is hitting the high schools. And Mission Secondary School’s team is one of the best in the province. Interest in the sport has shot high and fast among textbook-toting teens, with the inaugural B.C. high school ball hockey championships May 13-15 at Port Moody Recreation Complex. Six squads competed in what tournament facilitator Rob Moxness called a “grassroots” event, with representation coming from five different communities: Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Ravens, the Mission Roadrunners, Stelly’s Stingers of Victoria, Delta’s Burnsview Griffins and the Fleetwood Park Dragons and Johnston Heights Eagles, both of Surrey. A Surrey school teacher and 15-year competitive ball hockey player, Moxness began lobbying schools around the province last January, when he sent out a myriad of emails and reconnected with Port Moody’s Tony Bellano, whom Moxness knew from the pair’s playing days in the Canadian national men’s ball hockey championships in 2003 and 2006, competing against Vancouver Canucks forward Alex Burrows along the way. Bellano forwarded Moxness the name Dean Whitson, a big ball hockey proponent and a Fox teacher, and the the tourney got teed up faster than a Sami Salo slapper. Mission finished second, losing the gold-medal game to Fleetwood 3-2 on a last-minute goal.

Mission lost its first game 6-2 to Fleetwood, then beat Burnsview 3-1 and Stelly’s 3-1, which locked up first place in their division after the round-robin portion of the tourney. The Roadrunners won their semi-final game 4-2 vs Johnston Heights to advance to the final. Mission’s Sam Buttar was named the tournament’s top defenceman with two game-winning goals and four assists. Marcel Fuchs was the leading scorer, totaling four goals and three assists in five games. “The entire tournament was just a blast. The boys had a great time playing organized ball hockey for the first time,” said coach John Kapty. “We had some ice hockey players, and a few soccer players, but only one kid had ever played organized ballhockey before. All the kids learned a lot. “It’s exciting to be a part of the first ever B.C. ball hockey provincial championships. Tournament director Rob Moxness did a really great job getting this thing organized. Our kids can’t wait for next year.” Whitson, said he would eventually like to see ball hockey become a more established sport in schools. “The long-term goal would be to build another program that would offer the opportunity for the kids to be competitive and active, doing something they are passionate about.” With more than 6,000 youth currently playing organized ball hockey provincially, Moxness felt it was high time it graduated to the high school ranks to help keep kids in a positive, athletic environment after the bell rings. “The educational system continues to explore programming opportunities to keep students busy after school,” Moxness said. “Research shows that

the peak time for youth criminality falls within the hours of 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., which underscores the need for school communities to develop meaningful, physically active and socially engaging after-school programs.” Enter ball hockey, whose novelty and cost efficiency is perfect for high schools under rigid budget constraints and their ever-curious students, Moxness believes. “Ball hockey is a fun, affordable and all-inclusive sport that is gaining popularity with both students and their families,” Moxness said. “Implementing it as an after-school program will provide many opportunities for student engagement and success. The primary goal is to provide fair, safe and equal participation for all prospective high school ball hockey athletes.” Moxness is also in the process of working with Surrey Parks and Rec to create a high school ball hockey league in the area starting next April, culminating with what he hopes will be the 2nd annual provincial tourney. Eventually, Moxness hopes the sport blossoms to the point where any prep school student can participate. “Another goal is to officially make this high school sport all-inclusive by engaging girls and special needs [youth],” Moxness said. “Girls are largely under-represented in both the minor and adult leagues and high school ball hockey may provide the spark for their active engagement with the sport. As well, I would like to collaborate with BC Special Olympics so we can engage special needs students with the high school championship. “That would be awesome.”

Twisters gymnasts competed at at the last meet of the year in Kelowna, and several Mission athletes had great results. Steven Chaplin won silver on floor, vault and high bar. He has been chosen as an alternate for Western Canada Summer Games. Vanessa Beckman competed in the P4 Tyro category, and won silver for her all-around results, silver on beam, and tied for bronze on uneven bars. Katrina Penner-Loat won gold on beam in the P3 Novice Category.

ne of the things I like about writing sport fishing columns is bringing out the controversial stuff. One of these controversial subjects is the use of attractants (fish luring scents). There is no doubt that attractants work and work well. Field tests across the board by many of the popular manufacturers have proven that treated lures (flies included) out fish untreated lures by a ratio of four to one. The reason is that a fish’s keen

sense of smell, which is three and a half time greater than of a dog. Scientific studies have shown this keen sense of smell is accurate in detecting amino acids diluted up to one part per ten million. Je The controversy comes into play when the questions are asked: What scents work? What scents

don’t work? Is it ethical to use scent? Aside from the controversial debate, there is another factor that needs to be considered – repellents. If certain scents attract, others must then repel. ff It has been said that petroleumbase materials repel fish, yet the late Charley White maintained that bilge

water is one of the best salmon attractors. Citrus is undisputedly one of the worst, as is Deet. L-Serine, an amino acid that can be emitted through human skin is another offender but can be eliminated by simple hand washing. Ethical or not, attractants work and one of the best is WD-40. Do I use them? No, I find them another unneeded expense. As a cost conscious angler my advice is, just wash your hands.

The report Fishing on our Lower Mainland lakes is AAA. For wet (sinking) fly fishing try: Chironomid, Bloodworm, Coachman, American Coachman, Professor, Wooly Bugger, Micro Leach, Sixpack, Dragonfly Nymph, Halfback, Doc Spratley, Baggy Shrimp, or Zulu. For dry (floating) fly action try: Tom Thumb, Irresistible, Black Gnat, Griffith Gnat, Royal Coachman, or Renegade. For Kokanee try: Red Abbis, Bloodworm, Red Spratley, San Juan Worm, Red Quill, or Double Trude. Our Lower Mainland bass and panfish fisheries are good also. For bass try: Wooly bugger, Big Black, Lizard, Clouser’s Deep Minnow, Zonker, Tied Down Minnow, Bucktail, Dolly Whacker, or Crayfish, in sizes 4 to 1. For Crappie or Pumpkinseed try: Wooly Bugger, Big Black, Micro Leach, Bucktail, Tied Down Minnow, Dolly Whacker, or Clouser’s Deep Minnow in sizes 12 to 8. Fishing is fair to good on our lakes. For wet fly fishing try: Wooly Bugger, Micro Leach, Egg Sucking Leach, Chironomid, Bloodworm, Pumpkinhead, Dragonfly Nymph, Halfback Nymph, 52 Buick. Doc Spratley, Green Spratley, or Baggy Shrimp. For dry fly on warm afternoons try: Irresistible, Black Gnat, Griffith Gnat, Tom Thumb, Renegade, Double Hackled Peacock, Goddard Caddis, or Elk Hair Caddis.
