Commitments made at UBCM Mayor and four councillors attend annual convention in Whistler BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Provincial ministers reiterated a commitment to four-lane the Lougheed Highway from McLean to Nelson streets and promised to work with municipal officials to create a recreation destination at Stave Lake last week at the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Whistler. Five of Mission’s seven councillors attended UBCM and everyone walked away with ideas on how to build and improve the community. Mayor James Atebe was also elected to the UBCM board of directors. The annual conference gave representatives from communities a chance to talk with provincial ministries. Mission had 15-minute sessions with transportation Minister Shirley Bond about four-laning Lougheed Highway from McLean to Nelson. The minister said they are currently going through the design stage, said Atebe, who was encouraged by the response. It’s a safety issue because a lot of Mission residents drive through or to Maple Ridge for work. “We know the economy is bad, but we have to balance public safety,” said Atebe. “We’re hoping there will be an announcement next year.” Mission council also met with ministers Pat Bell (forestry) and Kevin Kruger (tourism) about converting 12,000 acres of land on Stave Lake, west of the municipal forest, to a rec-

reation mecca. We want to build an interpretive forest, said Atebe, noting there will still be active logging in the area, but there will also be opportunities for camping and hiking and even areas for off-road vehicles. Atebe and the councillors — Heather Stewart, Mike Scudder, Terry Gidda and Danny Plecas — asked for seed money to develop a business plan, but the tourism ministry said there wasn’t any funding, though it did offer inkind assistance. “They have very knowledgeable staff that can help with the plans,” said Atebe. Tim Hortons is also interested in building a camp for children at Boulder Bay but the district needs $2.8 million to improve the road leading to the camp and make it accessible year-round. The ministers were supportive of the camp and the district is hoping the federal government will also kick in some money for the road. Mission will be receiving provincial help for dike improvements after a meeting with Mike de Jong, public safety minister and solicitor general. In the last few years the province has provided funding to improve the local dikes and build up areas like Jack Poole Square to protect it from flooding. “We want additional money to complete [dike protection] to the harbour and Lane Creek pump station,” explained Atebe, who hopes the feds3 See also LIVEABLE Page

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2010

Public info meeting tonight into APP The first public information meeting about the Aggregate Pilot Project (APP) starts tonight in Deroche. The APP has been created without public input, charge critics. The plan covers the Fraser Valley Regional District, and if successful could become a blueprint for gravel mining practices around the province. The plan has been in the works for six years, under the direction of the minister of state for mines, a position held by Abbotsford-Mission MLA Randy Hawes since 2009.

UBCM: Mission mayor and councillors attended the annual conference and met with ministers

Policing claims 35% of Mission’s budget Survey finds little appetite to drop Mounties: Attorney-General BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Cities alarmed about rising RCMP costs are pressing Ottawa to take on more of the burden and rein in Mounties’ spending. Policing devours 35 per cent of Mission’s budget, but in other municipalities, it’s close to 50 per cent. Cities larger than 15,000 residents pay 90 per cent of RCMP costs and their mayors want that cut to 70 per cent – a proposal the federal government rejected this

summer. Ottawa also refused to move to a 50-50 split in costs for most smaller communities, which now pay 70 per cent. Civic leaders now plan to press federal cabinet ministers and B.C. Conservative MPs to rework the formula and provide more RCMP accountability. “Property taxes is not a sustainable way to fund the RCMP,” said Mission Mayor James Atebe at the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) convention in Whistler. The push for cost control comes amid negotiations to renew B.C.’s contract with the RCMP – which expires in March 2012 – and growing debate over whether to shift to a provincial police force. Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, a civic observer in the talks, said some progress has been made. The federal government has

agreed to cover 30 per cent of the cost of integrated regional policing teams and cadet training, up from 10 per cent. The province has rejected federal attempts to download even more costs on cities, he said, but added mayors remain worried. RCMP officers get a 1.5 per cent pay raise next year but the costs of each officer are to grow by a further $4,700 due to higher pension costs. Rifles are also being added to each patrol car at a cost of at least $1,000 each in response to the 2006 shooting of two RCMP officers in Saskatchewan. Detachments also must provide rifle-resistant body armour for officers and install more video cameras to monitor prisoners in areas beyond cells. “The costs are going up whether it’s salaries new equipment See NO or APPETITE Page 3

Min wage debate erupts Booze price reform pushed A stiff drink could come with stiffer taxes if B.C. cities get their way. Delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Whistler voted unanimously to lobby the province to launch an alcoholism reduction strategy. One plank of it advocated by the B.C. Coalition for Action on Alcohol Reform would see strong liquor and other high-alcohol beverages like vodka coolers taxed at a higher rate than lower-alcohol options like beer. Current liquor taxes don’t escalate by alcohol content and coalition chair Lembi Buchanan said that encourages heavy drinkers and young people to buy what gives them more

BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Labour Minister Murray Coell’s comments about a review of B.C.’s minimum wage have prompted a sharp reaction from business and labour leaders. Coell called a news conference Thursday morning to clarify his remarks at a cabinet minister’s panel at the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) convention and reported by Black Press Wednesday. He didn’t deny his earlier statements that marked the B.C. Liberals’ first departure from a policy that has held the minimum wage at $8 an hour since 2001. But Coell indicated Thursday the minimum wage has been reviewed frequently by the government, and insisted there are still other options to make life easier for B.C.’s lowest wage-earners. Asked when or if Canada’s lowest minimum wage would be increased, Coell replied, “it’s something we will consider in the future.” Asked if he still believes a higher minimum wage is a “job killer,” he replied, “I don’t think so.” B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair stood with reporters at a Whistler hotel to listen to Coell’s clarification, and interpreted it as a retreat to the government’s hard line. “It’s very clear that he misspoke himself, that the government is not interested in raising the minimum wage, despite the fact the UBCM voted to raise it to $10 three years ago,” Sinclair said. Brian Bonney, B.C. director of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business,

NDP labour critic Raj Chouhan and B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair react with anger Thursday to Labour Minister Murray Coell’s hint of a future increase to B.C.’s minimum wage. TOM FLETCHER PHOTO

will contribute one-third of the costs. “Improving the dikes will not only improve the flood plain but it will also extend the square.” The meeting with the ministers was a priority for the mayor and councillors, and each one also attended various workshops and sessions throughout the week. A session with former Milwaukee mayor John Norquist on new urbanism and sustainability was engaging, says Scudder. Participants talked about how a liveable city should look, how to densify transit routes to allow more people to take advantage of it and creating areas and green spaces.

Stewart picked up ideas on how to market the community for filming in one of the workshops she attended. There are a lot of economic pluses for the community with little inconvenience, said Stewart. Atebe chaired a couple of the workshops, including one on how to engage and involve a community. Some ideas were very unique. For example, Fort St. John organized a day of entertainment on the buses in order to get feedback on the transit system. They used local talent and people could ride the bus and be entertained, said Atebe. “People who never took the bus before came to enjoy the entertainment and through that, learned the bus routes and how convenient it was for them.”

said small businesses have barely recovered from the recession and some are considering layoffs in the months to come. “The government of British Columbia really need to take a look at what’s going on in our economy,” Bonney said. “It is very, very volatile and any increase in minimum wage is simply going to result in workers losing jobs and losing hours.” When asked at the panel discussion Wednesday whether B.C.’s minimum wage would be raised, Coell noted the government has eliminated income tax and medical premiums for B.C.’s lowest wage earners, and introduced rent subsidies. “Those were all levers that we could pull to put more money back in people’s pockets other than raising the minimum wage,” Coell said.

bang for their buck. Binge drinking, accidents, crime and health problems are the result, she said. “The communities are so fed up with bearing the burden of the high cost of alcohol abuse,” Buchanan said, adding she’s pleased the Victoria-led resolution passed. The tax shift to raise the cost of cheap highstrength booze wouldn’t alter the price of most beer and wine, she said. Low-alcohol beverages would actually get cheaper and, it’s thought, more popular, reducing related harm. “We don’t want to bother Joe Sixpack,” she said.

Four-year terms rejected BY TOM FLETCHER AND CAROL AUN Black Press

Municipal election terms will remain at three years, delegates to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention decided in a hotly contested vote Thursday. The UBCM executive had endorsed the idea after a provincial-municipal task force recommended it this spring. Supporters noted most Canadian provinces have already gone to four-year terms, and it may improve the low local election turnout. Burnaby councillor Sav Dhaliwal said he started in politics with a one-year term, and went through similar debates over increasing it to two years and the present three years. There has been no shortage of candidates to run for the longer terms, he said.

Councillors for smaller communities disputed that, and argued that with the low pay, a four-year term would prevent many candidates from making the commitment. The issue split delegates when it was debated last Wednesday, and two votes by show of hands were scrapped after complaints that people had voted and then left the convention hall. A secret-ballot vote was held Thursday morning, with 280 votes in favour of four-year terms and 354 opposed. Mission councillor Mike Scudder was disappointed with the result. “The issue I have is the task force did a good job reaching out province-wide before making the recommendation.� The problem with putting it to a vote at UBCM is only delegates in the room at the time can vote,

said Scudder, noting any mayor and councillor can cast a ballot and smaller communities can show up en-mass to vote. Attendance for resolution sessions is not mandatory. “I don’t think it’s a representation of the wishes of B.C.� Mission council debated the issue earlier this year and while it chose to support the four-year term, the decision wasn’t unanimous. Community and Rural Development Minister Ben Stewart said the provincial government would respect the decision of the mayors and councillors. The task force also recommended limits on spending for civic election campaigns, but not restrictions on campaign donations. Those changes are expected to be incorporated in provincial legislation next spring.

No appetite to drop RCMP: de Jong From POLICING Page 3

needed,� said RCMP Pacific Region Deputy Commissioner Gary Bass, who met with a number of mayors at UBCM. Bass said the issue isn’t limited to the RCMP, adding cities with municipal forces are also struggling with rising costs. A UBCM survey found nearly two-thirds of municipalities consider RCMP policing costs to be unaffordable and limiting the delivery of other civic services. De Jong said he’s canvassed RCMP-policed cities and found almost no appetite to actually abandon the Mounties. Critical regional policing functions are performed by the integrated investigation teams that draw officers from multiple RCMP detachments or civic forces — a system some consider a form of

regional policing. But the case for deeper reform gained momentum this month when former Solicitor General Kash Heed called integrated teams a “band-aid solution� and said B.C. should consider creating a new force. Atebe also doesn’t believe there’s an appetite at the moment for B.C.

to have its own police force. “Municipalities are happy with the service being provided, but the concern is our ability to pay,� said Atebe, adding police need to be more accountable to local governments. “Municipalities pay the lions share of the costs, but [the RCMP] are not accountable to us,� noted Atebe. “We want to have a say on how to spend money and the give and take.� For example, when the RCMP’s PRIME system was implemented, municipalities were not consulted; they were just told the costs, he added. Complicating the talks is the fact Ottawa so far refuses to negotiate a B.C.-specific RCMP contract. That leaves B.C. trying to coordinate requested changes with other provinces and territories. — With files from Carol Aun

Fire safety made fun Mission Fire/ Rescue Service hosted its annual Fire and Life Safety Fair this past weekend, switching from the traditional Tuesday night to a Sunday afternoon. Thousands of people streamed through the bay doors at fire station one to take in the displays and family-friendly activities. Besides the junior firefighter challenge and firefighter bingo, other top draws were the fire safety house and a station where kids could try their hand spraying water from a hose line.

Don’t hit send The rape of a 16-year-old girl at a Pitt Meadows rave was committed by between five to seven men, some teenagers, others adults, and is vile and depraved. But it’s the events that took place during the rape and those that followed it that make you even more nauseous. A 16-year-old boy photographed the rape, then proceeded to distribute the pictures to friends who posted them on Facebook. They have been shared, police said, with students as young as 12. Although police have arrested the teen, the photographs called “graphic, sexual and disgusting” by police, continue to spread like wildfire. Investigators say they have reached as far as Mission, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody and other sleepy suburbs across Metro Vancouver. As soon as copies of the photos get removed, others repost them, along with comments about the girl being a willing participant. Police say the teens don’t seem to understand that the act they are viewing is “rape.” Why is that? Has this electronic age of sexting and living lives online for the world to see blurred what’s right and wrong? Anyone who has possession of these photographs right now needs to know they are child pornography. If you share them, you could be arrested and charged. Hit delete, not send. – The Maple Ridge News

B.C. will likely have to up its minimum wage T

he glass-and-cedar mansions of B.C.’s Olympic playground sparkled in the sun as local government leaders arrived for their annual date with the premier. They swung off the new Sea-to-Sky Highway to full hotels, packed restaurants, designer shops, strolling international tourists and lavish government and corporate receptions. This display of wealth and privilege offered quite a culture shock for small-town delegates who make up the majority at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. So it was interesting to see poverty emerge as the unofficial theme this year. I happened to be the only reporter in the room as delegates questioned cabinet ministers on building local economies. The first question, tossed out as an icebreaker, was about B.C.’s

minimum wage, frozen at $8 an hour since Gordon Campbell imposed his market philosophy on the province in 2001. Labour Minister Murray Coell’s admission that it’s almost time to raise it caused a feeding frenzy by the city media, bored as they are with small resource towns and their hard-luck stories. Coell tried to skate backwards when TV cameras cornered him the To next day, but his original point stood. The B.C. Liberals long ago eliminated income tax and medical premiums for low-wage workers, and even subsidize their rent, but the cost of living keeps rising. It appears B.C. will soon grudgingly join Newfound-

land and Nunavut at $10 an hour. Lost in all this were the real subjects of the economic panel, such as a plea for provincial help to keep farms viable. Nobody talks about an $8 minimum wage for farms, corner stores or other seven-daya-week family businesses, where it’s mostly a theory. As expected, the most divisive issue at this year’s convention was a proposed shift to fourm year terms for councils. Here again, a canyon separates urban and rural, rich and poor. A Vancouver councillor now makes $61,674 a year, plus expenses for things like the UBCM convention. Not bad for a part-time job. In B.C.’s smallest towns, when

you calculate the actual hours for councillors you find another group that doesn’t make even Campbell’s miserly minimum wage. It was these folks who voted down the idea of fouryear terms. Three years is enough of a commitment. The poor were thrust into the spotlight again when Campbell took the stage for the traditional conventionclosing speech. After a fond look back at the Olympics, he imagined himself and Finance Minister Colin Hansen as a figure skating pair for a little selfdeprecating humour about the hasty introduction of the harmonized sales tax.

YOUR VIEWS Illuminaria wouldn’t happen without volunteers Editor, The Record: On the third Saturday of September, the Mission Association for Community Living annually hosts the popular Illuminaria lantern festival. I wish to publicly express my sincere gratitude to the many volunteers (including the so-called Kamikaze Cleanup Crew) whose benevolence and community caring make this event possible. From Heritage Park secondary leadership students and Special Olympics to the board, staff and participants of our programs, I thank you. This was our 10th year of celebrating inclusion in this way. It would simply would not be possible without you. Robert Keys MACL executive director

Thanks for help with annual celebration Editor, The Record: It is with heartfelt thanks that I wish to reach out to the people of Mission for another wonderful Celebration of Community. The organizing team of many volunteers, agencies, sponsors and site manager has been putting on this home-made event for 10 years. It fulfils the intent of providing the showcase of community groups, service providers and businesses, but more importantly it connects people and gently promotes all things Mission. In the increasingly fast-paced world, we still have a warm, lowcost celebration where “hokey” is good and human connection is paramount. Pictures will soon be posted on www. gaiapix.com Marion Robinson Mission

If you don’t like the business, spend your dollars elsewhere Editor, The Record: As a fairly new resident to Mission I have found that other than supermarket chains, shopping here is very limited. I am forever driving to Abbotsford, Coquitlam and even Langley to shop, especially if a gift is required for a child; toys usually being the first item. We are on a limited budget and love to shop at Wal-Mart. The sale prices on grocery staples really help out with the monthly food budget. I cannot understand why I

have only seen letters from citizens that oppose having a Wal-Mart in our community, especially when the people I have talked with all agree they would welcome one in the neighbourhood, saving us gas travelling to other communities to shop and also to provide much-needed employment within our city. If someone does not like Wal-Mart and what it stands for, they do not have to shop or work there. The rest of us will be happy to do so.

The same applies to stores such as Winners, Home Sense, etc. Most of us love to shop at these stores and are taking our money to other communities to do so on a regular basis. I think Mission would do better if some of the downtown shops were specialty stores that people driving through to Hatzic or Harrison would stop and shop at. There is nothing there to attract this type of customer at present. I agree with Lance MacDonald’s vision of a downtown full of artisans,

antiques, book stores and boutiques. This is what people are looking for when driving through a small city. The fact we have a river at our doorstep is an added bonus and should be developed in such a way that people living here and also people from other communities would come and enjoy spending their money here. Look how popular Steveston and Fort Langley have become. Melody Williams Mission

Will waterfront be just another Population development on the Fraser? can’t say who Editor, The Record: In my ongoing attempt to de-clutter, I came across another very interesting article regarding Mission’s “future waterfront development.” This one dated Nov. 13, 1991, and reported by Glen Kask who worked for The Fraser Valley Record — now The Mission Record. It referred to a first concept plan by consultants Hotson Baker Architects, and some quotes are listed below. I would agree with suggestions that emphasis should be on citizen access and protection of the waterfront with things like a boardwalk, trees planted, etc., and then the development of apartments and small shops, with other commercial business farther back. Here are some concepts listed in the 1991 article: • “a preferred option would see immediate improvements to Harbour Park, including landscaping, more picnic tables and programming of special events” and “ in future, trees would be planted;” • “later preparations would be made to attract commercial developments including a riverfront boardwalk and interpretive centre,” and “in final phases of this development plan multiple family residential build-

ings would be constructed along with more shops;” • 16 acres of land between the bridge exit ramps and the Fraser River was considered for the plan, and “if there is any demand for development like Lonsdale Quay then this is the only place in the region like it.” • Another proposal was to “retain the dike areas as open space with a clear view of the river, and put commercial development farther inland.” All these things do not require huge parking lots and are therefore a more resourceful use of the land, especially with further expansion of the West Coast Express and bus services. These proposals seem less for developers’ interests, and are much more in line with what might be called a more natural emphasis which would really draw people here to live and work. The question we should ask is: Will the most beautiful and rare “jewel” of the Fraser be protected with such concepts for the citizens and draw people here, or will it be just another commercial development on the river which will forever destroy all its natural charm as well as the creatures that live in its waters and along its banks? Lila Rauh Mission

to lease to Editor, The Record: With a little diligent reading of our local papers I knew of the possible upcoming development of some acreage near the RCMP headquarters. Most retailers do their due diligence as to whether a property will produce enough revenue to warrant building it. And since when does the population tell a developer which store they can lease to? If this were the case we wouldn’t have any businesses in Mission with all the whiners who live here, just cows and chickens walking around with traffic passing straight on through. If you do not like the store you won’t be forced to shop there, and if they don’t make any money they won’t stay. To all you letter writers who nay-say everything our council tries to do and make outlandish threats, get yourselves elected to the next council so you can effect the changes you want. Run for mayor. Make sure you vote. Attend council meetings and developer presentations so you are properly informed of what is going on. Read the paper. Become a leader in your community and quit griping. The same group of complainers year after year. Lorraine Martin Mission

Attend tonight’s public meeting Editor, The Record: Aggregate mining is being planned in a high-rainfall watershed area which is one of the few places where healthy runs of all seven salmon species come to spawn. Minister of Mines Randy Hawes is making enormous demands from the Harrison Mills area east of Mission near

Deroche for gravel to complete myriad projects. Gravel extraction is planned from Deroche to Chehalis and onto Chilliwack, which would bring logging and gravel trucks barreling up and down the Lougheed Highway through agricultural and forested areas. It is not only the residents of the Harrison Mills area that will

HST will help the poor, says Campbell From B.C. Page 6

our faces,” Campbell said. “Well, we soldiered on with the program. Some were saying that the only thing we had really mastered was the death spiral.” Then he got serious. He didn’t plot the HST before the election. He didn’t lie, but he accepts now that many people will never believe it. Then Campbell threw his latest pitch in a longshot bid to save the HST and his government via referendum next fall. The HST helps the poor. Tax rebates for more than a million lowincome people add up to $230 a year for a single senior, or $920 a year for a low-income family of four. Campbell did not return to the argument that the HST helps resource industries recover and grow. It’s too vague for people intent on checking their restaurant bills. He also knows the media are bored by economics, just as they are the sob stories of smalltown unemployment.

Business not good for Mission Editor, The Record: In my opinion, backed by a lot of reading and research online, WalMart is the symbol of everything that is wrong with our rampant consumer society and the insane drive to the bottom which is killing our social safety net and endangering our very democracy.

Female assaulted at Stave An 18-year-old woman was assaulted at Stave Lake on Saturday around 9 p.m. The suspect, who was unknown to the victim, confronted her in a parking area after yelling at the victim’s boyfriend for standing too close to her car, according to police. The victim was punched in the face and the two fought while bystanders attempted to remove the suspect, said Mission RCMP Sgt. Miriam Dickson. As the victim started to walk away, the suspect struck her on the back of the head with a beer bottle. “The attack was unprovoked,” said Dickson, adding alcohol was involved in the incident. The victim suffered a concussion, injuries to her face and left shoulder and internal bleeding to her eye. The suspect drove away in what appeared to

She is described as a Caucasian female, between 18 and 20 years old, about 5’10” and 185 pounds with two-tone brown and blond hair. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161. If you want to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477. A cash reward of up to $2,000.00 will be paid for any information that leads to an arrest and charge. Still no sign Mission police and the Surtel family continue to look for Jeffrey Surtel, who was reported missing more than three years ago on the morning on April 17, 2007. He was 17 years old at the time. Police have followed up on several leads and

possible sightings since the teenager’s disappearance, however he has not been found. Mounties released an age-progressed photo of Jeffrey this week, showing what he may look like today at the age of 20. He was last seen wearing dark jeans, a navycoloured T-shirt and a blue hooded sweater. He may have been riding a distinctive blue CCM mountain bike with yellow front forks at the time of his disappearance. Jeffrey is described as a Caucasian male, about 6’1” tall and weighing approximately 150 pounds. At the time of his disappearance, he had medium length brown hair, brown eyes and wore glasses.

doned off the area of Horne Street and 11 Avenue over the weekend to investigate a sudden death. The 42-year-old man was found in a home in the 33000 block of 11 Avenue. He was a Mission resident and police have determined foul play was not a factor in the man’s death. Cause of death is not being released and an autopsy is pending.

Mission paramedics are back in their unit station nearly two years after a fire drove them out and the costs to house the first responders for that time cost nearly as much as the renovations. BC Ambulance Services’ Wendy Hall, director of facilities, said there are still a few minor repairs to complete, but the unit was staffed starting Sept. 27. A budget of $300,000 was allotted and Hall is confident the final figure will be below that mark. At approximately $9,000 a month, BCAS shelled out around $225,000 to the Best Western for 23-months accommodation. The unit was basically rebuilt, with only a small increase in the footprint, said Hall. A fire Nov. 5, 2008 in the unit was blamed on an electrical fault on a kettle that had been plugged in, but not turned on. Mission firefighters were called to the Hurd Street facility at approximately 4 p.m. that day. No paramedics were in the station when the fire occurred.

After a few speeches, ribboncutting and plaque unveiling, the East Mission Gateway Perimeter Trail officially opened Saturday. But the well-used path has already been getting plenty of use from park-users, especially the dog walking set that use the newly constructed bridge to access the

open field at St. Mary’s. Ray Herman, District of Mission manager for parks and recreation, said the project was a culmination of two ideas: a bicycle route to connect Seventh Avenue to Hatzic and a perimeter trail around Fraser River Heritage Park. The first part was prescribed in the district’s parks and trails master plan, while the latter was concocted by the Mission Heritage Association.

The $1.2-million project involved provincial and federal grants worth approximately $912,000, with the district kicking in the remaining money. “We already know the project’s been well received,” said Herman. “The trail got significant use before the project started. I have no doubt the project will be well worth the money invested.”

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2010

Mushroom lovers converge Oct. 17 at St. Andrew’s BY NEIL CORBETT Mission Record

When he saw the mushrooms Juergen Kuerten almost drove off the road. Not that most people would react that way, but Kuerten is a man who fell in love with the savoury flavours of wild mushrooms as a young chef working in Europe. He is the man behind the Fraser Valley Mushroom Club’s annual mushroom show All About Mushrooms, and he is one of the founders of the club itself. He also spends a good portion of his leisure time in the wilds of Mission and other places, hunting in dark places for his prey. So, when he was just idly driving

down the highway, and someone in the backseat yelled “mushrooms!� and he looked to see the three biggest fungi of his life, his eyes grew as big as saucer mushrooms, and he started straight for them. Kuerten had seen pictures in one of his thick mushroom tomes showing an African walking in the rain and using a mushroom as an umbrella. They seemed like pure fantasy. These were not those same mushrooms, but of the same ilk. “I’ve never seen anything like this,� he says of the souvenir, giving it a fond pat. He found it in Nova Scotia, a Bondarzewia Bekeleyi, growing under an old beech tree. The largest of the trio was 40 pounds. He

cut it with the owner’s permission, put paper inside its folds to dry it without allowing mould to grow, and kept it. A few pieces broke off during his travels. They went into a

stir fry — those mushrooms are edible — and he found it was not only massive, but delicious as well. The remainder will be a new addition to this year’s mushroom show, coming up Oct. 17, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the St. Andrew’s United Church Hall, at 7756 Grand St. The show features displays of edible, poisonous and dubious mushrooms, with information about cultivating, preserving and cooking wild mushrooms. People are also welcome to bring their own mushrooms for identification. How does Mission rate with mushroom pickers? “This is paradise,� Kuerten asserts. A big reason is accessibility. Com-

monly used paths, like those denoted in the Mission Visitor’s Guide, make the forests easily accessed, and often mushrooms can be seen right from the pathway. As tasty as they are, mushrooms can also be dangerous. Eating one called the “death cap� obviously would have dire consequences. Many will cause gastric problems, and the amenita phaloids, which is found in Mission, attacks the liver and kidneys and could cause organ failure. “If you cannot identify it, don’t eat it,� is the mushroom picker’s mantra. Kuerten’s group has a website for people interested in wild mushrooms: fraservalleymushroomclub. com, and the group meets monthly.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2010

Surgeries get pay-for-performance cash BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

The province is rolling out $23.5 million to perform more elective surgeries and MRI scans, the first wave of a promised $250 million in pay-for-performance funding. Health minister Kevin Falcon said the new money will follow the patient and drive innovation because hospitals and medical teams will be rewarded if they find ways to become more efficient and get patients in and out faster. “I reject entirely the voices that say we must simply add more money to the system,� he said, calling status quo health care delivery unsustainable. Fraser Health’s share of the first installment is $7.9 million and is expected to allow local hospitals to perform an extra 6,800 surgeries and other medical procedures and 4,450 additional MRI scans. Vancouver Coastal Health Authority will receive $5.7 million for 4,850 surgeries or procedures and 3,150 scans. Some of the new money could end up going to private clinics to deliver new procedures if that’s how health authorities decide to best deliver expanded care, Falcon confirmed. The Vancouver Island health authority has already issued a call for bids from private clinics to deliver MRIs.

“What I care about is patients getting the service they need as quickly as they can,� Falcon said, adding private delivery is no problem so long as procedures are publicly funded and universally available. NDP health critic Adrian Dix said that’s a concern, particularly as private clinic MRIs are likely to cost the system more money. He has dubbed the government’s pay-forperformance strategy a “slush fund� more aimed to manipulate public opinion of health care funding through a game of surgical yo-yo than actually achieve innovation. The number of MRIs to be performed in Fraser Health this year will still fall slightly short of the number performed in 2009, despite the funding lift. MRI wait times had reached 18 months at some Lower Mainland hospitals and elective surgery waits had grown because of postponed procedures during the Olympics and over the summer. “What you have is purely a shell game here,� Dix said, predicting long waits will persist. But Falcon denied it’s simply a shuffling of money that could have been kept in the hands of health authorities in the first place. “It is new money,� he said. “We are not just handing this money over to the health authorities

and hoping for the best. We are buying specific procedures and specific outcomes.� The model has raised questions as to whether smaller hospitals could become less viable because they may have difficulty competing against larger ones with bigger complements of specialists, equipment and capabilities. “Not necessarily,� responded Falcon. Initially, he said, there won’t be direct competition between hospitals. “We want to give all health authorities time to get used to the patient-focused funding model.� Dr. Les Vertesi, the head of the B.C. Health Services Purchasing Organization that will control the distribution of funds, argued small hospitals may actually be in position to exploit the new rules and expand their offerings.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2010

Some not ready emotionally to give up driving vehicles T

he aging process can affect our ability to see, hear, concentrate and it slows our reaction time. We can take steps to maintain a youthful vitality into our senior years but eventually we become limited in our ability to do simple or complex tasks. A simple task such as holding a jug of milk can become difficult but we find ways to adapt. Driving a vehicle is a complex task and is not something to which we can adapt. It requires motor strength, flexibility, coordination and adequate visual perception, all skills that deteriorate with age. Although driving appears to be all about skill, it is also about

emotion. Often our feelings of independence are derived from our ability to drive a vehicle. Many seniors know their driving skills may not be sufficient, however, emotionally they are not ready to give it up. Knowing that eventually we will not have the motor skills Lo required to drive a vehicle safely, older adults should explore other means of transportation and make changes while they still have the potential to lead independent and vital lives. Adjustments made now will enable older

adults to feel confident and in control as they age and their dexterity and fine motor skills become compromised. They will know how to utilize other means of transportation and will be less likely to become depressed and feel isolated. A vehicle left ri at home can save money, increase fitness levels and can also be much safer. Change can be difficult so consider making it with friends or family. Some alternatives include bus, the West Coast Express, HandyDART or a mobility scooter. Taxi, private

Fires, drought point to climate shift BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

The second consecutive hot, dry summer in central and northern B.C. produced the biggest burned area since the province started fighting forest fires, and the lowest northern river levels ever recorded. Fall rains have mostly doused the 2010 forest fires, but not before they burned 350,000 hectares of land. That’s an area larger than Metro Vancouver, and it’s nearly a third bigger than last year’s total burned area. The summer of 2009 holds the distinction of being the most expensive B.C. forest fire season ever, with $382 million spent, much of it to protect Lillooet and other communities threatened with destruction. The total for 2010 is expected to come in at a relatively modest $230 million, still more than twice the average for the past 10 years. Forests Minister Pat Bell said Thursday the bill was reduced this year, mainly because the largest fires raged in areas with no human habitation. And the affected area was so large, partly because of conscious decisions to let some of them burn. The 2010 forest fire season also produced a new term, the forest fire “complex.” These linked fires over huge areas presented another level of difficulty for the wildfire management branch. The recent pattern of drought and fires is the

latest indication that climate change is being more acutely felt in B.C.’s north, Bell said. “Some of the most recent work that has been done by the climate change people indicates that there could be a

warming of as much as four to five degrees Celsius in the north, two to three degrees in the south by 2050,” Bell said. “If that were to occur, clearly that would change things in terms of the environment we’re facing, not

just from the perspective of wildfires, but also in terms of the species that we’re planting.” Bell has lived in Prince George for 22 years, and he said the last two summers have been the hottest and driest he has

seen. He noticed it in his garden, which traditionally hasn’t been able to produce tomatoes without a greenhouse. “My tomato crop this year was the best tomato crop I’ve ever had,” Bell said.

Come experience an intimate evening of theatre without a play. There will be no actors, no script — just an open theatrical dialogue about why and how humanity creates “the other.” Billed as Us and Them, this unique event will be facilitated by David Diamond, the wellknown artistic and managing director of Headlines Theatre in Vancouver. Headlines Theatre was founded in 1981 by a group of politically active artists. Since then it has produced hundreds of projects and has become a world leader in community specific, issue-oriented theatre, winning numerous awards. The event takes place on Oct. 9 at the Mission Secondary School drama portable with limited seating. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the event starts at 7:30 p.m. Admission is by donation.

Homelessness Action Week is Oct. 10-26 The fifth annual provincial Homelessness Action Week is on Oct. 10-26 and Mission is hosting an event Oct. 13 at three locations to raise awareness. Events will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Union Gospel Mission, 33701 N. Railway Ave.; Mission Friendship Centre, 33150A First Ave.; and Street Hope, 33129 N. Railway Ave. The Mission community is committed to finding solutions for all our community members. Our goal is to create connections with people that will improve their quality of life.

Win and a loss for Icebreakers BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

Sometimes they do fight back. After handing the Delta Icehawks a loss in previous competition, the Icebreakers were obliterated on home ice Sunday, losing 9-1 to the visiting team. “Delta lost that game before and they came out with fire in their eyes,” said coach Craig Sherbaty. “They seem to be the team to beat this year.” On a positive note, the Mission team earned its second win of the year Saturday with a 4-2 victory over North Delta. “We came out and matched opportunity for opportunity in the first,” said Sherbaty, “and we took control in the second.” Great goaltending from James Barr, along with solid work from the defense helped keep the win in the Icebreakers’ column, said Sherbaty.

Football team notches 48-0 win

Golfer locks up individual category Mission’s Mitch Lock secured the individual category at a recent golf tournament, netting a two-day score of 138. The University of the Fraser Valley Cascades men’s golf team finished in second place at its own invitational, held at the Chilliwack Golf and Country Club Sept. 25-26. The Cascades finished the two-day event with a team score of 592, five strokes behind the tournament champion, VIU, with a team score of 587. “It was great to see Mitch get the win. He’s been so close so many times, and he really deserved it this weekend going four under par in some tough conditions,” said UFV head coach Chris Bertram. The Cascades have now finished in the top three in both BCCAA golf tournaments this season, first at Kwantlen last weekend and second this past weekend. “I was proud of how the boys bounced back after a disappointing opening round. We are right in the mix for the provincial title, and I am confident our depth is soon going to start showing through,” said Bertram.

The Mission Roadrunners completely dominated the Langley Saints this past weekend, destroying the opposition, 48-0. Jesse Forcier began the scoring with a nine-yard run, quickly followed by another nine to put the team ahead 14-0 early in the second quarter. Quarterback Tanner Pearce connected with Rhys Parry for a 60-yard dash for another six points. Not too long after that, Forcier ended his day with another quick two-yard jaunt for a touchdown in the third quarter. Brenden Atkinson quickly followed Forcier’s lead and ran 22 yards for a touchdown, and pushed in for another six points from the two-yard line. The scoring ended late in the fourth quarter when Grade 10 QB Kevin Wiens passed eight yards to Eric Baldo for the final touchdown of the game. Erik DiGuistini went four out of five on the extra point kicks to round out the scoring. The top defensive efforts were Adam Brocks, who had four tackles in the game, Rhys Parry with one tackle and one interception, and Tom Clarkson, with two tackles and a sack. The rushing game really dominated on the field, said coach Kevin Watrin. Forcier had 149 yards on 15 attempts while Atkinson had 138 yards on 13 attempts. Pearce completed five of 13 passes for 86 yards and one touchdown pass, and Wiens was one for one with eight yards and one touchdown pass. Parry lead the receivers with his great catch for 60 yards and a touchdown, and Baldo with eight yards for a touchdown. The entire defence played with heart and it showed, noted the coach. Colton Lohr recovered a fumble off of a kick return and had solid game on defence. “I thought that Langley played tough for the first quarter and a half, even though they were missing people,” Watrin said. “We took control of the game in the second quarter when we were running the ball efffectively, and scored our third touchdown.” The Roadrunners are set to face Rick Hansen Friday at 3 p.m. at Rick Hansen Secondary in the “Battle of the Bridge.”

Her son Syd had this to say about his mother: “My mother saw a need and fulfilled it… She believed in the community and worked quietly for the good of everyone.”

Close to 100 people attended the 15th annual Paths and Pathfinders: Women of Mission Sept. 25 at the Cedar Valley Mennonite Church This year Louise Hughes (posthumous), Sue Nicholson, Judith Ray and Shirley Wiesehahn were acknowledged for their personal achievements and contributions to the community. Following are their biographies which were authored by Lisa Kenney of Eagle Eye Editing. Left to right: Owen and Sydney Hughes, sons of Louise Hughes, Sue Nicholson, Judith Ray and Shirley Wiesehahn.

Louise Hughes Born in Brandon, Man., Louise had just graduated from secretarial school, when she visited a girlfriend who had also just graduated from nursing school. She surprised her parents by completing and returning an application for a three-year program at Misericordia School of Nursing in Winnipeg. Louise joined the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps in 1942 as nurse lieutenant, first posted to the Shilo Military Hospital in Manitoba. Crossing

the Atlantic in 1943, she joined the nursing staff of the Leavesden Military Hospital near Watford, England, and after D-Day 1944, went with #20 Canadian General Hospital into Belgium and Holland. She came home to Brandon and the next year enrolled at UBC to obtain her BSN in public health in 1947. She met Bud Hughes at an Anglican Young People’s Association function and were married in October 1948. She con-

tinued to work in public health until Sydney arrived in 1954. Owen was born in 1956. It was 1961 when the family moved to their Mission home, built by Bud soon after Valley Lumber had transferred him to Mission. Louise joined the Mission Hospital Auxiliary that same year, and was elected president in 1963, then provincial president in 1973 and national president in 1980. She enjoyed the work and her colleagues as much as ever after almost 50

Sue Nicholson Suzanne Nicholson was born Jan. 23, 1955 in Marathon, Ont., the youngest of four siblings. Her parents set an example of being “always the most kind and caring people; they cared about others and they would go out of their way helping anybody that they could.” As a young child, and still today, Sue’s main interest was astronomy. As far back as she can remember, as early as age

five, she would look up at the stars, wondering what they were — she was fascinated by them. Sue was involved in the drama club in high school, acting and writing plays. She decided to quit school after Grade 10 to marry a boy she met while acting in one of these plays. He was helping with the lighting. She says that she “just somehow knew that he was the right person for me and I knew that if I let him walk out of my life, he’d be gone forever, so ... I took the chance.” Although her teachers thought she was foolish and her family generally didn’t support the idea, Sue and Barry were wed in 1971. The relationship changed Sue completely, and she feels that she would not be where she is today without Barry. Two children joined the nest – Shanna in 1977 and Rhett in 1980.

“Motherhood matured me beyond comprehension. When you have children, you have to give up everything for them and it has benefitted me in every way.” She wanted her children to be curious about life, so from a very young age she tried to stimulate them and give them as many learning experiences as possible. She now has a 20month old granddaughter, and she says they have a very special relationship that is mutually enjoyable. Sue went to work for Kings Press in 1989, but the business was sold to Mission Printing and she stayed on as front end manager until they closed down. She then started thinking about self-employment — something that would allow her to See EVENT Page 26

be near her children. She knew the printing business except for running the presses, but she figured she could operate photocopiers, so in 1996 she established Sue’s Place, borrowing $2,000 from her parents to finance the start up. In 2004, Sue received the Business of the Year award for her “outstanding efforts and community service.” Before the existence of Sue’s Place, she volunteered in her children’s classrooms and for the diabetes association. When she retires, she plans to volunteer with seniors. But for now, as a business owner who handles all aspects of management herself, Sue has little time to be out in the community as a visible volunteer. Instead, she generously contributes by donating her time

and design expertise to non-profits, sometimes charging little or nothing for their printing. Judith Ray Judith Ray was born in Berwyn, Alta. on July 15, 1948. Her father was a United Church minister, so young Judith’s social life mostly revolved around church organizations, which focused on international and community outreach. This showed Judith that she was privileged compared to many others, and she made a commitment from an early age to help people. Judith graduated from the University of Mani-

toba with a bachelor of nursing degree in 1970. Her first job was in the medical/surgical unit at Victoria Hospital in Winnipeg, followed by a stint in the outpatient department at the Winnipeg Children’s Hospital. In 1973, she moved to B.C. and was hired as head nurse of pediatrics at Royal Columbian Hospital. In 1979, Judith started searching for work internationally, finding that the United Church was looking for a nursing school tutor in Papua, New Guinea. The job was to include six months of general duty prior to tutoring. Upon arrival, she

discovered that she was to be the principal of the school effective immediately, and one of two tutors teaching all subjects for the three-year program. This was interrupted so that she could be the health care administrator for the area. After three years, Judith decided to come back to Canada, and worked as an administrator in home care and continuing care until 1994. By this time, Judith was married to her husband Fred, and they came to live in Mission. She successfully answered an ad for executive director of Pleasant View Housing Society. She soon joined the Rotary Club, and was awarded a Paul Harris Fellowship for her work as co-ordinator of the Terry Fox Run and the Carol Festival for a number of years, as well as fundraising and inter-

national work. Also, she was elected to the board of the Registered Nurses’ Association — a position she held for four years. She was a Seniors Advisory Committee member, providing leadership in strategic planning, which led to the establishment of Mission Association for Seniors Housing (MASH) where she was instrumental in bringing the groups together to build affordable seniors’ housing. Her efforts culminated in the building of The Cedars, and she was recognized for this achievement as Mission Citizen of the Year. Judith retired in 2008, but continues to stay involved. She is currently the president of MASH, is on the Mission Literacy Association board, and also volunteers as a Reading Buddy. Shirley Wiesehahn Shirley was born March 8, 1934 in London, England. She spent a year at Liverpool College of Art, followed by secretarial school. Shirley met her hus-

band, Wim, on a sailing course in Holland. Wim was the translator for the sailing instructor. Her parents insisted that she try living in Holland, before becoming officially engaged. Apartments were scarce, so she stayed with Wim’s parents in Amsterdam. She slept in his bedroom when he was away at Delft University, and on an airbed under the dining room table when he was home. Wim and Shirley were married Aug. 31, 1960 in a civil ceremony at Amsterdam City Hall. Later that day, they flew to England for a Service of Blessing at the Anglican Church. The newlyweds lived in Delft on a houseboat, which Shirley describes as a converted barge with no running water. Wim could not continue postgraduate studies at Delft, and so they applied to England, United States and Canada. They have been thankful ever since that Canada said yes first, arriving in 1962. After 17 years of secretarial and translating

jobs, Shirley loved being able to stay home with the children. Her parenting advice is to explain the reasons for the requests and rules as much as you can. The Wiesehahns built their McConnell Creek house as a vacation home in 1981, and it became their retirement home in 1992. Shirley had spent her childhood living in small rural communities, and became involved with Women’s Institute activities as a child and joined at age 18 in England. Unfortunately, the Women’s Institute was failing by the time the Wiesehahns moved here, but Shirley also joined the McConnell Creek Farmers Hall, whose events she had been participating in since 1982. When asked what she likes the most about her individual volunteer activities, there is a general theme to her responses, indicating the benefit of good fellowship when you’re doing practical tasks to make events go well. “It’s fun doing things together... helping each other ... this is how I have friends.”

Smile Cookies are gone, but the smiles they’ve left in our community will last forever. Thanks to your support, Tim Hortons will be donating the entire proceeds to the BC Children's Hospital Foundation.

• OCTOBER 12-30:

Close to $1,500 was raised for Opening Nite Theatre Society at the Fall Fundraising Gala this past weekend. The house was full as patrons enjoyed wine and hors d’oeuvres and music from pianist John Gardner. The night opened with well-known local singer Susan Dearing performing songs from ONTS’s upcoming show, To the Front and Back: Mission Remembers the Wars. Monologues and bits of musical comedy and drama throughout the night performed by various entertainers kept the crowd entranced. The money was raised for three specific things: upgrades to the concession equipment, upgrades to the sound equipment, and to offset the cost of renting uniforms for To the Front

and Back. With a generous grant of $1,000 from the Mission Community Foundation, and donations from Saturday night, ONTS is now well on its way to outfitting the soldiers for the show. ONTS also brought back its Sponsor a Seat for the Season program. For $25 (tax deductible) you can have your name on the wall as a seat sponsor. Not all the seats were sold Saturday night and are still available to sponsor. For more information, e-mail info@onts.org.

This show, with its Mission focus, brings the songs of these eras that we know and love. Don’t miss this trip down memory lane as they honour the veterans. To the Front and Back opens Oct. 29.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2010

What’s Happening in Mission

GIVE THANKS We all are taught at an early age to say “please” and “thank you,” and once we are old enough to pray, we are taught to extend these gracious words to God. Young children learn to thank God for their parents, their siblings, and for all of the other blessings bestowed on them. But, it can be difficult to explain to children, or adults for that matter, how and why we should be thankful for everything. In the First Epistle of Paul to the Thessalonians we are told to “Rejoice always, pray constantly, and give thanks in all circumstances” (1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18). Perhaps Paul’s point here is that just as we can choose to pray or not to pray, and indeed even pray without ceasing by keeping an internal dialogue going with God, we can choose to rejoice and to give thanks at all times. Giving thanks is more about choosing to have a thankful attitude than it is about explicitly saying, “thank you” to God. And just as we can strive to maintain a constant internal dialogue with God, so too can we remain ever thankful in our outlook and attitude. Of course, we must realize that being thankful is more about our subjective attitude than the objective external circumstances of our lives. O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good: for His mercy endureth for ever. K.J.V. Psalm 107:1

The chair and diverse art materials are supplied but other items are required and will be given at the time of registration. Bring your imagination, an open mind and a sense of humour. No art experience is necessary. The cost of the program is $110 for members and $115 for non members. For more information or to register, call 604-8260029 or visit www.missionartscouncil.ca.
