‘Bombard’ minister with e-mails: Ross Incinerators will be worse for Fraser Valley air than SE2, states FVRD board chair BY ROBERT FREEMAN Black Press

A waste management plan for Metro Vancouver that includes waste-to-energy (WTE) incineration has been approved by the B.C. Environment Minister. The approval includes a number of pre-conditions, including consultation with the Fraser Valley Regional District before WTE incineration sites are approved. But none of it is acceptable to FVRD chair Patricia Ross. “We have undertaken three years of world-wide research looking at the best of WTE technology, and there’s none of them acceptable in this airshed,”

R Ross said. B.C. Envirronment miniister Terry L Lake has ““completely m missed the Ross point” of the FVRD’s objections to WTE, she said, which is that a new point source of pollutants should not be added to the Fraser Valley airshed “even with the best of standards.” Ross called on Fraser Valley residents to take a stand against proposed WTE sites like they did against the SE2 power plant and “bombard” the minister with e-mails of See METRO Page 2

what is actually going into the air are two very different stories.” “What will happen is what we saw happen in Durham, Ont.,” she said, where the company bidding for approval claimed a low amount of emissions would be produced. “They are now admitting double the particulate matter emissions than they originally estimated,” Ross said. “But now, no one wants to go back and revisit, so it proceeds regardless of the impacts.” Ben West at the Wilderness Committee also criticized the decision. “The real fight will begin when they pick a location and try to build one of these pollutionspewing garbage-burning monsters,” he said. “Wherever they try to do this, we will be there to make sure people know the truth about what is being proposed in their backyard.” The pre-conditions include: • consultation with the FVRD to address air quality concerns prior to construction of a new or expanded WTE facility. • establishment of a working group with the FVRD to develop recommendations on WTE emission standards and environmental monitoring, as well as mitigation measures to address “reasonable concerns of the FVRD” with respect to additional WTE inregion. If no agreement can be reached an arbitrator is to make a recommendation and report to the environment minister.

Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Eith announces Maple Ridge-Mission NDP candidacy The president of Music B.C. is sounding off and throwing his hi-hat in the political ring as a candidate for the NDP in the provincial riding of Maple Ridge-Mission.

Bob Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Eith, an entertainment lawyer and longtime advocate for arts and culture, announced his candidacy Friday and said the province needs to change its tune.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have seen a provincial government that has brought in policies which hurt our hardworking citizens, from shifting tax to consumers with the HST, to taking

gaming funds away from charities, to cutting funding to arts and culture, to dismantling legal aid to the most vulnerable in our society, to crippling our court system,â&#x20AC;? added

Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Eith, who has lived in Maple Ridge for nine years. Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Eith was the executive chair of the Vancouver 2009 JUNO awards host committee and was instrumental in creating the $5.2 million, sevenyear artist development program with the Pattison Broadcast Group, called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peak Performance Project.â&#x20AC;? He has also been active on local and national boards, including the City of Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultural tourism strategy task force.

Locally, Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Eith is concerned about the affect of the harmonized sales tax, as well as the impending teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; strike, public transportation issues such as the Evergreen Line and gas taxes, agricultural land reserve issues and the state of local hospitals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also see a lot of need for change, specifically in our area,â&#x20AC;? said Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Eith. Although a date has yet to be picked for an NDP nomination meeting in Maple Ridge-Mission, the riding association is

preparing should a provincial election be called in fall. Mike Bocking, who has run several times for the NDP in federal elections, is the other candidate who is will be seeking the nomination. The BC Liberals, meanwhile, are supporting incumbent MLA Marc Dalton in Maple Ridge-Mission. The annual general meeting for the BC Liberals Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows riding association is set for Sept 15. No candidate selection meeting has been set.

OPINION

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

Fix problems here On Wednesday, the space shuttle Atlantis returned to Earth, and there was much rejoicing (and sorrow) among fans of space flights. There was rejoicing over another successful mission, but there was sorrow because this was the last scheduled flight by a space shuttle. The touchdown on Earth of the final shuttle occurred 42 years to the day from the first time man set foot on an extraterrestrial object. It was July 20, 1969 when astronaut Neil Armstrong said, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” So what has happened since then? A number of other Apollo missions flew to the moon, landed, and returned. One, Apollo 13, did not make it to the moon. Interestingly, the failed mission is the only one Hollywood apparently decided was interesting enough to make a movie about. Unmanned spacecraft have gone to various sectors of the solar system, including out to the orbit of what was at the time the planet Pluto, which has since been downgraded to being a dwarf planet. Scientists have used telescopes on Earth and in space to discover many new stars, some with apparent planetary systems. They have come up with new theories about how the universe was created and where it will all end. Meanwhile, back on planet Earth and outside the observatory walls of the United States, there are still people dying of hunger. There are still people fighting to survive from day to day. Somehow, though, we suspect all the money that used to go towards the space-shuttle program will end up somewhere other than actually helping people survive on Earth. That’s just the way it is. But is it the way it has to be? - Prince George Free Press

HST horror stories fade away T

he B.C. government has released its audited public accounts for what Bill Vander Zalm enthusiasts strain to depict as Year One of the Harmonized Sales Tax Apocalypse. So let’s survey this allegedly bleak landscape of shuttered hair salons and seniors hoarding pet food, waiting for Belgian bureaucrats to come calling for more. Retail sales increased 5.3 per cent in 2010. Growth has softened so far this year, but there’s no evidence it’s due to the HST. (Retail sales are mostly goods, which are mostly unaffected.) B.C.’s economy grew by four per cent, third in Canada behind those new northern tigers Saskatchewan and Newfoundland. We beat Alberta as well as have-not Ontario. The provincial deficit dropped by nearly a billion dollars, even though spending on government services continued its relentless rise with another billion-dollar increase. That’s four per cent spending growth, the same as the growth rate of the economy. But as usual, two-thirds of it is health-care spending,

Fletcher

finance ministry estimate was only for the first year, and it proved pessimistic. As with gasoline prices, external forces drown out B.C. tax adjustments in the short term. Currently it looks as if going back to the old provincial sales tax will cost the treasury about $600 million in revenue in each of the next few years. HST rate cuts are made up by economic growth. Or we can return to a 60-year-old retail sales tax developed for a post-war, preservice economy, and continue a B.C. political debate that revolves around 30-year-old socialist ideology. The deficit will immediately jump back up to the 10digit range. So if your HST referendum envelope is still in the bottom of your recycling bin, you might consider fishing it out and casting a No vote. They have to be delivered to Elections BC by Aug. 5.

uestion of the Week:

Would you be in favour of having water meters installed?

Last week: Are you pleased a Wal-Mart will be built in Mission? Yes: 65% No: 35%

YOUR VIEWS Potential parking problems make proposal a poor one Editor, The Record: Re: Commercial/residential building proposed for former Syd’s site, July 21 edition. This proposed development presents some serious concerns due to the lack of parking which such a building at that site would demand. The municipality needs to take a careful look at the actual site. In that vicinity, there is an intersection, as well as the fact that First Avenue is a narrow one-way street, with parking along each side, which is barely sufficient now to accommodate people who want to shop at the small businesses operating there. There is some additional parking down on Railway Street immediately below First, but sometimes it is also quite full as drivers also

use the parking spaces there to access the West Coast Express station. So the question which must be answered before such a proposal goes forward is: Where will the estimated number of people park who want to live, visit or shop if such a new building were put there? Under the present circumstances it does not appear that additional parking can be created, so this would immediately impact the businesses already established on First Avenue and cost them customers who will not be able to access their stores. This is not the way to improve things on First. Also noted in The Record’s City Page a few weeks ago, a notice by the District of Mission regarding another application for rezoning to

accommodate a proposal for two residential apartment buildings to be built on empty lots at Wardop and First Avenue. This seems like a better location, not only being higher above flood plain, but it also has some open ground surrounding the site, if required. There is also the wide variety of shops alongside Safeway, selling many household and grocery items, etc., which would cut down on a lot of commuting to outside areas. Lila Rauh Mission Editor’s note: The first mentioned proposed development plans include in-building parking on the second floor, accessed from the alley between First and Second Avenues.

Arguments make cyclists pawns Editor, The Record: Re: Certain areas designated as bike route unsafe for cyclists, July 14 edition. Mr. Muir’s letter presents arguments that are both nonsensical and, frankly, partronizing to cyclists. A road does not have to have a wide shoulder to make cycling safe — the Trans Canada Highway has a lovely wide shoulder, but does anyone think it would be a safe cycling route? Cyclists stay safe by using the same skills we use as motorists or motorcyclists — riding defensively and obeying the rules of the road.

My bicycle commute to work from Mission to Maple Ridge is neither “difficult” nor “dangerous” just because much of my route has little or no shoulder. Bicycles are not fragile toys that need to be separated from traffic — we are traffic. I think the district’s signage helps raise awareness of that. It is obvious from Mr. Muir’s letter that he is not fan of the “current administration,” but I would ask that he not use cyclists as pawns in his campaign. His letter does a disservice to both logic and cyclists. Clint Coffey Mission

Editor, The Record: Wal-Mart is coming. No amount of sitting in front of bulldozers will change that now. A couple of hundred or so minimum wage jobs and $700,000 in property taxes have won the day. All the same, I have questions. Knowing full well that a significant portion of us think this is a terrible idea, did anyone ever think to ask the community our opinion? At what level if any did permissions have to be granted, votes taken? Were decisions made on my behalf by public officials? Who is stepping up to take credit? Or are

the people leaning on the shovels at the groundbreaking saying they had no influence on and no prior knowledge of the decision? If an entrepreneur wanted to open up a perfectly legal but controversial business in Mission like a Hooters, does anyone doubt there would be plenty of advance notice and much public discussion beforehand? Well here we sat, waiting for the opportunity to present our case in democratic fashion and were denied. Maybe nobody was required to ask, but they should have. I feel bushwhacked. This is no

way to build community. Mission, we shouldn’t be bought off so cheaply. I may save $100 on my taxes, but I was ready to pay $200 additional to keep Wal-Mart out. Randy Hawes says the fact Mission folks shop at Wal-Mart in Abbotsford proves we want one here. By the same logic Mission folks also use MSA Hospital, which proves we want our own fully functioning hospital here, too. James Atebe, my friend, not all of us agree this is a great day for Mission and would like to have had the chance to say so. Cal Crawford, coming of age means exactly what? I guess we don’t have to be jealous of Abbotsford and Chilliwack any more, but many of us live here precisely because we’re NOT like other communities. If this is inevitable “progress” I would at least like the chance to debate it, even in a losing cause. The cost of not engaging is far higher than any benefit Wal-Mart could bring.

Storm sewer upgrade project costs district further $73,000

of women with panic disorder are victims of child sexual abuse

BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Black Press

Source: Kaplan and Sadock, 2007

Make it stop. Take the prevention program | littlewarriors.ca

The district has to pay $73,485 extra for repeated problems and delays arising during a storm sewer project. These holdups resulted in two weeks of uncompensated standby time to Mission Contractor, according to a report submitted to council July 15. Although the contractor could have claimed $26,000 in compensation, it waived this because district staff had to ask council to approve extra costs not in the original contract agreement. These have since been approved by council. The $415,000 contract was awarded in May for storm sewer upgrades to Clegg Street, 14 Avenue, and North Railway Avenue. Workers were digging on Clegg Street June 23 to install a storm sewer pipe when they encountered a Fortis gas line at a different depth than expected.

The district’s director of engineering and public works, Rick Bomhof, said a test dig had been done before excavation to determine the gas line’s depth. But when work began, the contractor found the line made an s-curve deeper into the ground. The contractor was forced by the district to delay work while Fortis repaired the line. Then on July 8 the contractor moved to North Railway to fix a collapsed storm pipe, but on the first day of excavation unexpected underground soil conditions forced them to stop working again. “It’s like Murphy’s Law on this project,” said Bomhof. “What could go wrong, did go wrong.” Bomhof said the district makes every attempt to anticipate problems, but sometimes it isn’t possible. “When you start digging, you just don’t know for sure what you’re going to find underneath.”

As well, one of the manholes at 14 Avenue and Orchid Street was found to be too small and a new one was required. Despite this being known by staff at the time the contract was awarded, an error omitted it from inclusion in the bid. The district will now pay $34,000 for a new manhole and catchbasins; $8,600 for work related to the Fortis gas line; $2,500 for an asphalt chute; $800 for a new sump manhole; and $27,585 for lightweight fill material. The unexpected costs will require $55,079 to be drawn from the improvements next to subdivisions account, with the balance from the general drainage account. A pre-agreed $30,000 contingency fund will not be touched to allow for any additional unknown issues. This raises the total contract cost to $488,730.30. According to Bomhof, work on the project was to recommence this week.

Cost savings possible if assets managed properly BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

The district is considering hiring one or two asset managers who would evaluate the condition and replacement needs of Mission’s infrastructure assets. The estimated value of the municipality’s assets is between $700 million and $900 million, and by ensuring they’re replaced

or serviced before they fail will safeguard against unexpected costs or liability, said district design engineer Hirod Gill, at last week’s council meeting. He said Mission can find cost savings of between 40 to 75 per cent of the replacement cost of an asset by identifying the value and servicing it before failure. Gill said other, smaller municipalities, such as

Squamish, utilize some form of asset management, and added New Zealand regulates longterm capital plans for municipal assets every three years. Staff are preparing a report for council with an estimated cost of hiring an asset manager, as well as the timeline and finances required for implementation. The report is due later this year.

New non-profit holds membership drive Aug. 9 Mission International Cultural Association (MICA), one of the newest nonprofit groups in Mission, has been busy preparing for upcoming events. On Aug. 9, MICA will be hosting a membership drive at Fraser River Heritage Park for this newly created association. Its purpose is to foster international and intercultural friendships and understanding. MICA will do this by: • operating as a charity to fundraise and allocate funds to promote understanding between cultures and people

of various countries around the world; • acting as a co-coordinator for volunteers and organizations who wish to promote international and intercultural understanding; • conducting activities and programs which foster this understanding. Association members are anticipating a visit in 2013 from Mission’s sister city of Oyama, Japan with planning starting early in 2012. Mission citizens interested in membership are invited to contact Pam Alexis at palexis@cafsystems.com or 604-302-2005.

Drivers required Cancer treatment often requires a patient to travel to their centre on a daily or weekly basis. The appointments can be lengthy, scheduled at different daily times and are usually during business hours, Monday to Friday. This often presents difficulty for a family where other members are working and already carrying a greater load to ease the burden on the relative with cancer. In this situation, a volunteer driver program can step in and make a tremendous contribution to the wellbeing of an entire family. The Canadian Cancer Society Volunteer Driver program in Mission is in need of more drivers. Training and dispatch are provided. Time commitments are flexible.

Country music to rock the river It’s almost time for the Rockin’ River Music Fest at Mission Raceway Park again, and organizers are promising this year will be the biggest yet. The event features two days jam-packed with two dozen top and up-and-coming country music stars from Canada and beyond, with acts taking place on both a main stage and beer garden. Sales have been brisk so far, according to festival promoter Kevin Gillies, who says he expects about 3,000 people each evening. It all begins Friday night (Aug. 12) with the main stage lineup: • Identical twins Courtney and Stephanie Fera, born and raised in Vancouver, this duo has been nominated several times in the B.C. Country Music Awards; • Jetty Road from Australia have won Country Group of the Year three years running;

Kenny Hess, Rockin’ River co-organizer and performer, will be playing Saturday on the main stage at Mission Raceway Park.

When downtown business owner Rhett Nicholson came up with the idea for Missionfest he wanted to bring that small town community togetherness back to Mission. Nicholson, who coowns Sue’s Copy Place, said he remembers walking around downtown at events that drew the whole town when he was a kid, but there hasn’t been anything like that in more than a decade. To that end, Nicholson applied for and was granted a request to close First Avenue on Aug. 13 between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. for the first annual Missionfest. There will be a show and shine car show; a community stage with

music entertainment and karaoke provided by Rockin’ River Music Fest (which is happening at Mission Raceway Park the same day); a bouncy castle for kids and a velcro wall; a skateboarding show provided by Vesper Sports; pony rides; as well as 20 non-profit vendors. “We want this to be an annual event and we’ll see if maybe we can make it a weekend next year,” said Nicholson, adding this is the ideal way to show Mission the revitalization taking place downtown. A developer recently submitted an application to council for a new commercial-residential three-storey structure on First Avenue beside The Mission Record, and the area has seen an increase in new business start-ups such as Sweet Spot Cafe, the Dawg Gone Good Grill and MTF Price Matters.

Nicholson said organizers are still looking for more cars for the show and shine contest, with prizes for best street, custom, muscle, hot rod, truck, special interest and unfinished cars. Registration is $10 and includes a grab bag, dash plaque and free grub. Speaking of food, there will be a salmon bake, pancake breakfast, and other vendors. Although downtown is known as “First Ave” to most younger Missionites, organizers are also referring to it as “Main Street” for those folks who remember the district when it was literally the main part of town, said Nicholson. And that’s all part of the point, he added. Bringing together the old and the young to celebrate what Mission has to offer. Missionfest begins Saturday, Aug. 13 at 10 a.m. and runs until 6 p.m.

Headlining on Saturday is New Brunswick’s standout country music star Julian Austin, and Georgia’s multi-Grammy winner Travis Tritt. Throughout the festival the beer garden stage will have Maple Ridge’s Johnson Brothers, grandsons of Elmer Tippe; Brent Lee (also on the main stage Saturday); and the Gabby’s Girls line-dancers, a group of Langley gals known for their performances from Cloverdale to Nashville. Camping is available at Mission Raceway Park for between $50 and

What’s Happening in Mission

BLESSED TO BE ALIVE Spring is the time of year that most reminds us of God’s continual creation. With each new Spring, we realize that God has created a universe that continues to create or recreate itself anew every year. During this season, all of nature is on the verge of coming alive again, and we understandably think of Spring as a vestige of creation. But is not every dawn a vestige of creation, with new light breaking on new life each and every day? Indeed, to take this to its logical conclusion, every moment of every day is truly a new creation. The universe is continuously in the process of unfolding. To really appreciate each and every present moment is to glimpse God’s eternal act of creation as it happens. To treasure and enjoy every new day and season that we are given is not only a blessing, but also a chance to grow in the love of God. The Bible tells us to lead a life worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God (Colossians 1:10). How blessed we are to be alive while God is creating His world.

Yet He is not far from each one of us, for in Him we live and move and have our being. R.S.V. Acts 17:27-28

Duo brings laughter and songs When Bernie and Red perform at Fraser River Heritage Park on Friday, July 29 from 7 to 8 p.m., they’re sure to make audiences laugh. No stranger to the Envision Twilight Concert Series, Bernie and Red are a mixture of Burns and Allen, The Smothers Brothers and Bette Midler, with a touch of Carol Burnett. Their humour is based on husband and wife situations and the joys and challenges of family life. Bernie plays the straight man who sometimes lets fly with his own oneliners, but Red is the one who holds centre stage most of the time. Red’s musical numbers are integral to the entertainment mixture that this duo presents. Many an audience has been set back on its heels when, after 10 minutes of tomfoolery, Red will then burst forth with a great rendition of Memory from Cats, or Don’t Cry for me Argentina. Bernie and Red’s performance is sponsored by Cedarbrooke Chateau. The Art in the Park program features Aboriginal artist Nancy Arcand, body wellness with Gina Esche, inspirational art of Pam Ellis, and Elsie Chatwin’s glass works. Then on Wednesday, Aug. 3 from 7 to 8 p.m., the Envision Twilight Series welcomes Tom Landa and the Starbirds for their first visit to Fraser River Heritage Park. The Starbirds are a roots trio who play a mix of folk, Celtic, gospel and Latin music. All are members of Vancouver’s Paperboys. With time and gigs under their belt, the band has evolved into its own with a new sound centred around the award-winning songwriting of Tom Landa and the unique instrumentation of trombone, jarana and fiddle. Joining Tom is Nick La Riviere, whose trombone playing has been praised by Wynton Marsalis among others. He is in demand as a trombonist and bassist and has played with jazz pianist Michael Kaeshammer, as well as heading his own septet. The band’s third member is the award winning Kalissa Hernandez who has won the BC Provincial See BIRDS Page 23

In this second edition of Finance Matters we discuss borrowing and debt – when does the district borrow money, what is the difference between external and internal borrowing, how much money has the district borrowed and how much can it borrow? The district tries to avoid or minimize borrowing whenever possible by saving in advance for capital projects, as this saves taxpayers interest costs. When there

aren’t enough savings or where savings are committed to other projects and a project needs to proceed, the district has two borrowing options: • borrow externally from lenders or bondholders though the Municipal Finance Authority (MFA); or • borrow internally from our own reserve funds (savings). The district uses internal borrowing whenever possible as this option provides greater flexibility for interest rates and the length and timing of the repayments. The district currently has about $19 million of outstanding external debt. Principal and interest payments of $2 million are made annually on this debt. There is an overall external borrowing limit of $158.9 million (determined by legislation), which is well above actual debt (see graph above). The district is accumulating money in a debt retirement reserve fund in order to pay off its external debt early, which will in turn result in interest savings. If you have a finance question you would like answered, e-mail us at tax@mission. ca or mail the Finance Department, District of Mission, 8645 Stave Lake St., Mission, BC, V2V 4L9.

Nitro cars put on a great show BY DEAN MURDOCH Record contributor

It was an epic weekend at Mission Raceway Park, with 31 funny cars making the trek to the track in a competition that saw Tim Boychuk take his third straight victory here. Joe Delehay made the long-awaited first fivesecond doorcar pass in Western Canada and has the ET and mile per hour record. He went 5.99 in round one at 242 mph, and then backed it up with a 6.00 in round two. Delehay defeated Yvonne Lucas in the final round. She went 6.35 second at 222 mph. Boychuk continued his dominance at MRP, but it was close in the final. Darrin Bay was just a few hundredths back of Boychuk in the final round, but he did go 250 mph in the semis (5.72 ET). Norm Kolwich almost had a dream debut weekend for the Rocky Mountain Nostalgia Funny Cars group. He lost in the final against Eddy Plaizier when he broke out by .02, going 6.88 seconds on the 6.90 index. Ron Huegli absolutely dominated the NWBB/FC group with two 6.85s on their 6.85 number. In the final he went 6.88 to defeat Randy Parker.

Oldtime drags, gassers on track this weekend The B.C. Old Time Drags are taking place July 30-31 at Mission Raceway Park. The event is presented by the Langley Loafers Car Club, and features blown AA gassers, nitro frontengine dragsters, plus undreds of custom street rods and muscle cars.

Learn how to do your own analysis of fishing conditions “I

have heard of a Macedonian way of catching fish; between Beroea and Thessalonica runs a river called the straeus, and in it there are fish with speckled skins; what the natives of that country call them you had better ask the Macedonians. These fish feed on a fly peculiar to the country, which hovers on the river. It is not like flies found elsewhere, nor does it resemble a wasp in appearance, nor in shape would one justly describe it as a midge or bee, yet it has something of each of these. In boldness it is like a fly, in size you might call call it a midge, it imitates the color of a wasp, and hums like a bee. The natives generally call it Hippouros.” This passage was taken from taken from the writings of Claudius Aelianus; Roman author and teacher, estimated to be in the time period between 230 to 170 BC. Here’s a secret : Be-

fore fishing try to take note of all fish activity and all things affecting it. In observing the prospect area try to analyze what is going on in the fish’s world. One of the short comings of many novice anglers is putting too much reliance on the experts. While experts have put in their time and often do have Je answers, they are not always correct. In this game no one ever learns it all, and nothing can replace on-the-spot analysis. Over the years, if done effectively, your analysis and study will provide a wealth of information for those times when the fish test your proficiency.

Quietly racing into history

Local tennis players invited to register for singles, doubles

A 4,200-foot-long, straight stretch of roadway. And after the final OK from track officials at Mission Raceway Park, a collection of current and former automotive shop students and their teacher from Delta Secondary School vaulted quietly into Canadian drag racing history on June 30. But there was no thunderous roar from the engine they had painstakingly put together over the last two years under the guidance of teacher Casey Mynott. There was wheel spin, plenty of tire smoke and minivan-like acceleration of their 1989 Toyota pick up truck through a series of quarter-mile runs all done without burning so much as a drop of gasoline. Electricity from a pallet full of batteries provided the motivation for Canada’s first electricpowered dragster. Idea gets rolling The idea to build the vehicle came to Mynott after getting interested in the small but growing community of electric drag racers on the Internet. He got a look at what was being done in places south of the border, joined in a few discussion groups, and then presented videos of electric dragsters to his students. “They got pretty excited after seeing that,” Mynott said, adding the overall goal was to have a “culminating” project for his class. “Plus, other high schools have been involved with the drag racing scene and that was a natural progression for me,” Mynott said. “And my sickness, if you will, is a love of knowing everything.” Unfamiliar with what it would take to convert the Toyota pick up — originally thought to be used as a parts vehicle for his class — to an electric dragster, Mynott began the long task of acquiring parts and the assistance of sponsors to bring the project to life. “When you remove all the combustion engine stuff, there’s plenty of room,” said Mynott. “Electric motor design is See TRUCK Page 28

BELOW RETAIL CLOTHING - 32128, 1ST AVENUE

MARKET TASTES In Ottawa today, I bit into a Beaver’s Tail, twenty-eight years since my first bite. Despite the seller`s insisting on the lemon flavored one, I chose the sugar and cinnamon-sprinkled offering, which helped me recall with nostalgia that chilly January day at Ottawa’s ByWard Market. The beaver tail concession, established in 1978, is now one of 500 Market businesses, including produce and crafts stalls, art displays, buskers, surrounding shops, boutiques, and cafes. Lt. Col John By laid out the Lowertown street plan for an 1826 construction, wisely designating two extra wide streets to accommodate the horse-drawn carriages that would bring produce to the Market. Today, busy daily activity continues with only truck delivery and under City of Ottawa management.

Communities C ommuniti u ii in Bloom

H th Stewart ``Shop-Taste-Live`` is the Byward slogan. Speaking of tasty items, back in Mission the Community Kitchens program will return. Canning Kitchens begin on August 13, thanks to a long list of sponsors and partners. United Way of the Fraser Valley (funding), All Saints Anglican and the United Church, Women’s Resource Society (administration), Mission City Farmers Market, and the Soapbox Organic Community Garden. Kitchens are at 10 a.m. to 1:30 pm at St. Andrew’s United Church. In six separate sessions, participants will preserve peaches;

dill pickles; tomatoes (pressure canning); plums (jam); pears; and pepper jelly/ cranberry sauce. Additional scheduling details can be requested at the Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley604-820-8455, or by email-admin@wrsfv. ca. Cost is $35 except for the pressure canning workshop which is $45 and requires prepayment. The Market`s fundraising raffle provided good news for three citizens on July 23: Sylvia Thomas won first prize- four tickets to the August 13 Rockin` River concert; Annette Lewis, second prizeOasis Rejuvenation Spa Experience; and Dennis Clark, third prize-Aboriginal print donated by Little Bear Art. Congratulations and thanks to all for your support of food security education and awareness. Keep blooming, Mission.

y shoe caught on the curb of the pavement as I got out of the car door and suddenly, the pavement flew up to my face and I landed on the sidewalk. I’d been on my way to deliver forms to a store in Mission, hurrying because I had so much to do. Hurrying because I was trying to get on top of things. Willy, my husband, is now living at Pleasantview and I have his power of attorney, and I am getting used to being in charge of all the items with which Willy used to deal. I lay wounded on the pavement in shock, and not a soul in sight to help me. I was doused with hard pellets of rain and just couldn’t get up from that undignified position. A Good Samaritan appeared from out of nowhere and picked up my bleeding self. I hung on to him while he helped me into the store where I had been headed. The staff were horri-

fied when they saw my bleeding face, hand and knee, and swabbed it all with a warm, damp cloth. There was a bump on my head and they called for an ambulance in case I had a concussion. But emergency said they thought I was OK and my daughter came to drive me back home. The next day my knee hurt. It hurt and hurt and there Do was no relief. It wasn’t broken, but was inflamed. I fed myself Tylenol and laid on the chesterfield to think about it all. To think about being 87 and what part of the vortex my life was in. I’m on the losing end of living, just 13 years shy of being 100 years old! Some time later, I stood in a gallery welcoming an audience to the opening of my last solo painting show with my tortured knee hid-

den under a long gown as scars formed my skin like a crocodile’s. It was the end of many years of solo shows and I felt like a balloon which had been led by a guiding string, but was now cast adrift. I have recovered from the fall, but not from the knowledge that maybe my meaningful years are done — finished. Child-rearing is over, and ris painting seems to have shut its door. As Willy is in a care facility, our togetherness is over. I wander from room to room, or nap on the chesterfield flipping TV channels, in the hopeless hope I’ll catch a program that suits me. I pick up yet another book to read which has won an award, but I think it’s trite and not good writing. Where do I belong now after my last solo

Senior’s Corner

Paterson

show, and after that ruddy fall? It is like I was lying on the pavement, helpless and no use for anything. But wait a minute. Here I am, writing a piece. Today, I’ll go with Willy on the bus for residents of his facility. I guess I have a role there. Tomorrow I’ll buy some plants so Willy can plant them and fill in his time looking after them. I’ve kept books which explain how to write novels. Well, who knows? My autobiography is getting put in to book form, and I look up to see mounted on my studio wall, the angel trophy which I just won in a senior’s talent contest declaring me Mission’s Golden Idol of 2011. I’ll keep going whatever my muse calls me to do. After all, one door closes and another opens. And I’ll try to catch another string to a balloon. Doris Paterson is a long-time Mission resident, and accomplished artist.

EMPLOYMENT/EDUCATION

MOLNAR Alex Edmond Jan. 16, 1929 ~ June 4, 2011

Alex passed away suddenly in the early hours of June 4, 2011 at Abbotsford Regional Hospital. Predeceased by his parents John and Julia Molnar, brother Bill, sister Anna and wife Phyllis. He is survived by brothers John (Kathi), Les (Anna Mae), Mike (Raylene) Richie and Ernie and their families. He is also survived by his partner Diane and her family who loved him very much. Alex was born and raised in the Abbotsford area. As a young man he worked in the tobacco fields around Yarrow, logging camps, laying pipes in Whistler and finally retiring from Fraser Valley Steel & Wire in 1989. Alex loved to cook and treated us to many dishes from his Hungarian heritage, but his cabbage rolls were our favorite. Most Sundays found us at the Aldergrove Legion dance (“Twinkle Toes” could still do a fair jive.) We all miss your smiling face.

Desmond was born and raised in Abbotsford, BC. He graduated from W.J. Mouat High School and was accepted at Simon Fraser University on a football scholarship, which he was going to attend in the fall. He was born one of two children to Robert and Diljit Bassi and has an older brother named Ryan. Desmond’s family expanded recently and included a step-brother Gavin and half-sister Ella. Desmond was an exceptional son, grandson, brother, nephew, cousin, friend, athlete and overall person who was very close to everyone he knew, especially his family. He was a role model to his younger cousins and a genuine, loving, caring, and patient person. Anyone younger than Des just adored him and thought of him as a God. Everyone older than Des thought he was such a good kid and an absolute angel. For a giant of a boy at 6’2”, he was very gentle with the little kids in our family and loved to play and wrestle with them. He led by example and had a very attractive personality and demeanour that caught everyone’s attention. He was very polite and well-spoken and took time to say hello to everyone he knew. He had a lot of respect for his elders and received respect and praise in return. Although he was only with us for 17 years, he taught us to be better people. He was a very positive, determined young man who lived life to the fullest and accomplished so much in a short time span. He had a lot to offer and such a bright future ahead of him. He’ll be remembered for his bashful smile, which made everyone smile in return. His warmth touched everyone’s lives and hearts and he’ll be remembered forever. Thank you Desmond for bringing so much joy to all of our lives! Friends and family are invited to attend a funeral service on Friday, July 29, 2011, at 11:00 am at Clarke Theatre, 33700 Prentis Avenue, Mission, BC V2V 7B1. The funeral will be followed by a prayer ceremony at 2:00 pm at the Khalsa Diwan Society Gurdwara, 33094 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford, BC.

Our precious mother passed away peacefully into the arms of Jesus on Saturday, July 23rd, 2011 at the Menno Hospital, Abbotsford, BC at the age of 96. Katie was born in Gnadenheim, Siberia on December 17, 1914. She married Bill Stobbe on July 7, 1940 in Abbotsford. They lived in the Lower Mainland area until 1947. Then they heard God’s call to move to Alberta where they resided until 1972. Their next area of ministry was Vancouver Island until 1988 when they moved back to Abbotsford. Their married life was a “Venture of Faith” as they served the Lord side by side, always ministering to people especially towards anyone in need. Katie’s beloved Bill passed away on February 13th, 2006, the same day she moved into assisted living at Menno Terrace. She moved to the Menno Hospital in the fall of 2010 where she remained until her passing. She never complained and always had an encouraging word. We thank the Lord that she was not in pain and her mind remained clear. Katie was predeceased by her husband, Bill Stobbe, daughter-in-law Margaret Stobbe and is survived and lovingly remembered by her 8 children; son, Victor, wife Carolyn, son Stanley, wife Olive, daughter Esther Swanson, husband Derek, son Daniel, wife Cathy, son Harry, wife Mary, daughter Miriam Peters, son Jim and daughter Margaret Rukin, husband Stan; 19 grandchildren, 35 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren; 3 sisters and 3 brothers; along with numerous nephews, nieces, other relatives and friends. The family wishes to thank the caring staff at Menno Terrace and Menno Hospital along with the many family and friends that visited and prayed for mom over the past few years. A funeral service will be held at 11:00 am, Friday, July 29, 2011 at the Sevenoaks Alliance Church, 2575 Gladwin Road, Abbotsford with burial following at the South Poplar Cemetery at 2:30 pm.
