Mission man still in hospital Mission Record

A Mission man was one of nine people aboard the Northern Thunderbird Air Beech King Air 100 that crashed in Richmond last Thursday, and has been identified as the co-pilot. Matt Robic, 26, is in hospital with burns to 80 per cent of his body following the crash that killed 44-year-old North Vancouver pilot Luc Fortin. Although Vancouver Coastal Health doesn’t release patient information, it is believed Robic is the only patient still listed as being in the Intensive Care

Unit at Vancouver General Hospital. Three others are listed as being in serious, but stable condition, while two are in very stable condition and may be released from hospital shortly. The small twin-engine plane clipped a car as it crashed around 4:12 p.m. Thursday after earlier reporting trouble following take-off from Vancouver International Airport. The aircraft was bound for Kelowna. According to RCMP, there were seven passengers on Flight 204, along with Robic and Fortin. — with files from The Richmond Review

Proactive measures are being credited for helping reduce the number of Halloween-related incidents this year. According to Mission Fire/Rescue Chief Ian Fitzpatrick, strategy meetings held four days ago between emergency personnel and the local school district resulted in far fewer calls for service Monday night. “There were nowhere near the same number of issues as the past four years,” said Fitzpatrick Tuesday morning.

The fire department had three trucks patrolling the district, responding to fireworks complaints calls, and explaining Mission’s bylaw prohibiting the devices. Mission Public Schools had custodians working at local schools until midnight, and the RCMP put 15 officers on shift, said Fitzpatrick.

Gaudin creek project causes budget problem BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

The district is scrambling to find answers following a council report delivered last Monday revealing an engineering project is nearly $330,000 over budget, but the bulk of those additional costs were not brought to the attention of either administration or council. A budget of $596,454 was approved for the Gaudin Creek diversion project Aug. 8, but a series of cost overruns led to change orders that has inflated the revised

budget to $942,803. Those change orders were verbally approved by staff without apprising administration or council, which was done to expedite the project before an Oct. 31 grant deadline for the source of the funds, according to the report. Deputy chief administrative officer Paul Gipps said administration was taken by surprise, leading to an internal review of the “checks and balances” in government. “Bottom line, I’m not going to say somebody screwed up. If that’s the case, we’ll get to that,

but at this point it’s, what have we learned from this, and what have we put in place to ensure that we don’t end up with the same circumstance again,” said Gipps. The change orders were made after culvert excavations in the first week of October showed significant problems that will need to be addressed: $52,707 in reinforced concrete footings; $82,112 in lowering the Abbotsford-Mission watermain after it was found in a different place than drawings indicated; $32,560 in backfilling under footings due to poor soil conditions; $39,683 in

other items; $13,533 in overtime labour to catch up; and $23,854 in additional security and overhead resulting from delays. “From a council government’s point of view, I was not happy that this happened without letting the chief administrative officer [Glen Robertson] know,” said Mayor James Atebe, adding it’s more important that policy and procedure wasn’t followed than the fact there are cost overruns. Council candidate Larry Nundal, who worked for the district as a building inspector for 20 years, said in a telephone interview he

thinks the person responsible should either resign or be fired, echoing comments he made to council last Monday. “If I worked there, I probably would have resigned” if I did something like that, he said. Because the $4.8 million Cedar Street widening project was completed $826,000 under budget, the district can use $229,646 that was not allocated in the original contract to soften the blow. Council approved the additional $136,803 to complete the project, which will come from reserve funds.

Hydro debt grows, B.C. deficit shrinks BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Driving too fast for road conditions increases risk of crashing, says ICBC BY PHIL MELNYCHUK Black Press

So you’ve got your nice, new SUV with electronic stability control and four-wheel drive and ABS and all that. Ready for the snow and rain, right? Yes and no, says ICBC and the Justice Institute of B.C. While new vehicles, as of September, are all equipped with stability control computer-controlled systems that can control inputs on each wheel to minimize spin outs or skids, no technology can make up for stupid driving or recognize all road conditions. “It’s not a magic solution,” says Justice Institute driving instructor

Norm Prosch. “It’s not magic and it’s not going to replace common sense and driving according to the conditions. “If you’re going too fast, that’s where the rubber meets the road, right there.” To make their point, ICBC and the Justice Institute set up a demonstration at the B.C. Driving Centre at Pitt Meadows Regional Airport on Tuesday. Media climbed into a new Ford Escape, gunned it down a straight away to a series of traffic cones, then had to make sharp, evasive turns, according to last-minute signals. Piles of boxes that went flying, as in the TV show Canada’s Worst Driver, if the vehicle couldn’t stay in the lane, added to some effects when

media drivers screwed up. To make their point, the track was flooded, to simulate driving in the rain. Prosch said a difference of 10 kilometres an hour can make the difference between losing control and staying in control on a wet surface, if evasive moves are needed. It could be possible to make a sudden lane change at 60 kilometres an hour, but lose control at 70 km/h, on a wet road. And often, if drivers are able to avoid the object, such as a cyclist or pedestrian darting out, the difficult part is moving back into the lane safely. “Posted speed limits are ideal for dry roads,” added Alex Lee, manager of road safety programs.

Driving is more than just the road, said Lee. “It’s the road and the darkness. Just change the frame of mind is the important thing.” The Pacific Traffic Education Centre, part of the JI is locating to Pitt Meadows in November and just got a new track coat of asphalt laid down on its training track. “Many drivers don’t realize that when they drive too fast for the road conditions, their risk of crashing increases significantly,” said Fiona Temple, ICBC’s road safety director. “The reality is that the posted speed limit is only for ideal or dry road conditions. You can help make our roads safer by slowing down – you’ll see more of the road and be better equipped to respond to the unexpected.”

Energy Minister Rich Coleman is examining BC Hydro’s rapidly growing deferred expenses, part of which end up as a dividend to ease the provincial government’s deficit. Auditor General John Doyle reviewed BC Hydro’s books and found that as of March, $2.2 billion of the utility’s debt was placed in deferral accounts. Deferred expenses are expected to grow to $5 billion by 2017. In a report released Friday, Doyle said deferral accounts for major capital costs are an acceptable practice to smooth out rate increases, but BC Hydro’s use of it runs ahead of other Canadian utilities. The practice can “mask the true cost of doing business, creating the appearance of profitability where none actually exists, and place undue burdens on future taxpayers,” Doyle warned. Doyle added that “there does not appear to be a plan to reduce the balance of these accounts.” Coleman acknowledges that the share of declared profit BC Hydro is required to pay to government has reduced the provincial deficit. BC Hydro paid $463 million to the province in March, based on a legislated formula that it provide 85 per cent of net income to its only shareholder, the B.C. government.

Correction In the Oct. 27 article Snails stall development, Karel Carhoun is quoted as saying the SmartCentre project across the highway also has snails, but that a similar environmental study wasn’t triggered because the property doesn’t have any water sources. In fact, Carhoun said the property may have snails, but he has no way of knowing for certain. The Record regrets the error and apologizes for any inconvenience.

OPINION

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

Gun registry a waste The looming end of the federal long gun registry is a good omen for taxpayers. It shows that the federal government is actually willing to get rid of programs that serve no purpose, and waste tax dollars unnecessarily. While the Conservatives have long had this program in their sights, let’s hope there are more to follow. The gun registry was, from the very beginning, a highly political move. The Liberals, under Justice Minister Allan Rock, wanted to show city voters that they would be tough on gun owners. It was all about cementing urban voting blocs, and for the most part, it worked. Police access the database frequently, but all it does it alert them to the possibility that there may be guns in a specific home. It has been used to arrest legitimate gun owners whose only offence has been improper storage. Yet the registry does nothing to stop gun violence — most of which is committed with unregistered handguns smuggled into Canada from the U.S. There is definitely a place for a registry for handguns, as has been in place in Canada since the 1930s. This is a key reason why gun violence here is minimal, as compared to the U.S. But there is no place for a registry of rifles and shotguns that are used for sport. They are almost never used in crimes. What is helpful is storage requirements, including trigger locks, storage of ammunition away from the firearm, and locked cabinets. All of these keep guns from being used for the wrong purposes. Also helpful is a licence to own and buy firearms, which the government is retaining. Firearms acquisition certificates have been in place since the 1970s and have helped keep firearms out of the wrong hands. The registry, however, is simply a waste of funds, and an insult to law-abiding citizens.

Zalm joins Hydro conspiracy club

he smart meter installation van arrived on my street last week, as BC Hydro’s smart grid project heads toward the halfway mark. This system will not only detect outages, electricity loss and theft, it enables a voluntary time-of-use system where users can get a discount by shifting consumption to low-peak times. You could even set up wind or solar generation that the meter would record and subtract from your bill. But apparently no one wants to talk about that. Black Press papers continue to run letters with exaggerated or false claims that stoke baseless fear of radio waves. I’m grateful to the anonymous smart-meter foe who started sending me updates from “Citizens for Safe Technology,” a loose collection of U.S. and Canadian activists that claims to include doctors, lawyers and other professionals.

I asked Mungall why. She was on the city council that chose a different model, a “drive-by” meter.

BC Hydro’s meters signal only three or four times a day, but one of the oftenrepeated false claims about them is that they secretly transmit much more often with some sort of damaging energy pulses. Mungall said Nelson council specifically rejected a smart grid system, “because of the cost.” Somehow retaining meter readers saves the city money. She noted rural parts of her constituency are serviced by BC Hydro, and some people are very concerned. I’ll bet they are.

The Mission Record Thursday, November 3, 2011 7 The Mission Record Thursday, November 3, 2011 7

Election signs serve little benefit Editor, The Record: The silly season is most definitely upon us again. Not this time the dubious wisdom of starting several months of road reconstruction in late summer and therefore trying to lay asphalt in winter, nor the installation of useless signs and painting bicycles on roads — not even the provision of a low dog park fence after months of having a completely unfenced off-leash area. No, this time we are gaining a fascinating insight into the thinking of our community and council leaders and those who aspire to those positions. I speak, of course, of the sudden and prolific sprouting of wooden and plastic signs. Barely a street corner seems to have escaped this year’s political ambition-mongers. Some areas are indeed so thick with signs it is impossible for those travelling in cars to read all (or indeed any) of the messages. My question to the politicians is, why? I am at a loss to understand what purpose this kind of alleged advertising has. The signs typically contain no message of any informative nature, and if anything usually bear a name or names together with what in essence constitutes a vote for me exhortation. Really? I hope I am not shattering any illusions here,

One reader questions the benefits, if any, of election signage.

but a sign at the side of the road has never, and will never, influence for whom I cast a vote. Why is a roadside sign deemed sufficient? What happened to effectively getting their message out to — and thereby informing — the voters? How does plastering a corner or median with signs constitute a legitimate campaign tactic? Doubtless we will soon hear predictably boring tales of politicians blaming one another for missing signs, etc. At present there exists a very definite Monty Python flavour to the signage war being apparently fought along Horne Street. Is there anyone out there who can say their votes have been influenced by a laughably bare roadside sign? In

the meantime, what does this tomfoolery tell us about the thinking processes of those who have been already or wish to be our elected leaders. And why should our community allow this ugly litter to proliferate each election period? Leo Simmons Mission

Five points to consider with election signage Editor, The Record: Have you ever considered the impact of election signs, and what they can tell you about the candidates running?

As a former municipal politician, I’ve made a study of election signage over the years, and find it interesting as to the message they convey. First, there’s the choice of colour, next the size of the sign, then the copy used, fourthly, the timing of their placement and finally the location where they’re posted. Commenting on these five points, starting with color; invariably, the two colours most used each election are red and blue, with currently blue having the edge in Mission. As to the size and the message conveyed, there are many factors involved. The larger the sign the more the cost. Some candidates try to dominate with larger signs, while the major-

JASON ROESSLE PHOTO

ity run a multitude of smaller ones. Is the layout, simple and bold, or cluttered with too much copy. Strange, you’ll rarely see a positive slogan used or photo, just the name, with or without the first name and words like; “vote, elect

or re-elect me” Sign patrols are done to check for damaged or missing signs to be replaced. As to timing, many candidates like to get their signs up first, to draw immediate attention to their name. Some believe in placing their signage later for better visual registration and others reinforce their names, doubling their posting, as the election day draws near. Finally locations, this one can be very revealing about the candidate, whether they want to lead or follow. Case in point are the huge number of signs that collect at major traffic intersections, where no one really stands out, obliterated by the montage of so many signs, large and small, jammed together. A good example is the northeast corner of Cedar and the Lougheed

Highway. Most candidates, instead of placing their signs alone, so they stand out with no competition nearby, place a sign next to their competitor. Those up for reelection, believing their past record and identity is enough, may choose to run no signs, hoping the public who can’t stand sign pollution, will vote for them, as has successfully happened in the past. Remember, what you see and what you may or may not get, will be eventually determined by your vote or lack of it. Granted, signs are helpful, but the real criteria for any candidate to win, is what they stand for, what they propose and how they’re seen in the community as a respected person. Wilf Ray Mission

Frigid forecast may mean more snow BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Metro Vancouver drivers who save money by forgoing snow tires may want to rethink their strategy this winter. A moderate La Nina weather pattern is expected to bring colder-than-normal temperatures to most of B.C. Environment Canada meteorologist David Jones said that may translate into more snow in the Lower Mainland. “I’d say it’s a good year to get snow tires,” Jones said. “But remember other outcomes

are possible.” One U.S. forecaster predicted the typically colder weather pattern from the Pacific Ocean could make this one of the chilliest winters in 20 years for Vancouver. But Jones called it “irresponsible” to go that far in making any predictions. He noted last winter was actually a strong La Nina yet there were few storms, relatively warm temperatures and less snow than Jones had expected. “Whether it’s saving up to whack us this year, I don’t know,” he said. “It might happen. Is it predictable? I would say no.”

The projection is for the 90-day temperature average over the winter to run one to two degrees colder than normal here. That would increase the odds of big dumps of snow in Metro Vancouver, Jones said. While motorists interested in a smooth commute may be frustrated, skiers and local ski hill operators will likely be happy. The projection of another La Nina winter came from the U.S. National Weather Service, which noted it brings a strong chance of above-average precipitation across the Pacific Northwest.

New SAR volunteers ready to serve The latest group of Mission Search and Rescue volunteers have completed their six months of training, and are now ready to respond. The recruits’ education consisted of search theory, subject evacuation, rope rescue, swift water safety, first aid and survival. They had to pass several quizzes and exams as well as practical evaluations. The newest members are Mike Corlett, Travis Hildebrandt, Peter Storck and Sean Sublett. Other presentations included a certificate to Clinton Swan for completing his occupational first aid level three, and a certificate to Gary Swan for promotion to tracker one. Search and rescue is truly a volunteer emergency service, as they are not paid on call and must provide their own basic outdoor gear. A new ground search and rescue (GSAR) class will be starting in January and anyone interested in finding out more about the organization can visit www.missionsar.com.

Mission residents arrested in Burns Lake Two Mission residents were recently arrested after Burns Lake RCMP executed a search warrant at a marijuana grow operation on a rural property approximately 25 kilometres east of the village on Highway 16. A 46-year-old female and a 42-year-old man from Mission, along with men from Port Coquitlam and Smithers have been released on a promise to appear in Burns Lake provincial court Feb. 3. Mounties’ search of the property revealed evidence of a grow op in an outbuilding, and police are saying the plants were harvested prior to the police arrival, but around 20 pounds of dried pot was seized. Three rifles were also taken, and one was loaded. RCMP will be recommending charges of possession of cannabis marijuana for the purpose of trafficking and production of a cannabis marijuana.

Remembering the Korean War O

n Nov. 10, the Lifetime Learning Centre will be hosting a Remembrance Day Tea starting at 1 p.m. Everyone is invited to hear Mission’s Neville Cox speak about his Second World War experiences, Ian Graham, Karin Edberg-Lee and Ann Senae will recreate memories through the music and songs of the era, and Shelley Haggard will read selected stories from Lifetime Learning Centre War Veteran Oral History collection. The program will also recognize those often- forgotten veterans who served in Korea. In 1950, the communist North Korean army attacked across the border into their neighbour South Korea. American warships responded to defend the southern republic. Although Lester B Pearson, then Canada’s foreign minister announced, “Canada will do as she has always done — her full duty,” technically, Canada was never at war with North Korea. The Canadian operations were labeled a “police action,” a limited intervention with the goal of resisting aggression and restoring peace. Close to 30,000 Canadian troops fought in Korea as part of the 27th British Commonwealth Brigade of the IX Corps, United Nations contingent; 516 Canadians died, and 1,042 were wounded. The Second Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry received a U.S. Presidential Unit Citation for valour, and the Republic of Korea Presidential Unit Citation for their role in the Battle of Kap-yong in 1951. Delaying the Chinese forces for three days while United Nations forces withdrew to a new defensive line is credited with saving Seoul. When the troops

The Mission Record Thursday, November 3, 2011 15 FUTURE SHOP â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Correction Notice

Hatzic a hopping place W

ith the 2011-12 school year well underway, Hatzic students are noticing a few changes throughout the building. Firstly, a revised administration team is working diligently to get students back into the school year and providing solutions to studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s timetables and other issues. Also, the transition into a Grade 7-12 middle school/high school this year has proved successful so far, and our younger students are smoothly adapting to high school life. Although we are only one month into school, Hatzic has already held its annual Terry Fox Run and raised $500 for cancer research. We had a great turn out and it proved to be a fun experience for all students involved. The Terry Fox

Run was not only a successful fundraiser for an important and deserving cause, but also a first chance for the school as a whole to get together. We all had fun and eased into the school year, while getting to know each other at the same time. One of Hatzicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most interesting opportunities, the Habitat for Humanity trip, Ca is also well underway and we are anticipating another successful trip! This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trip will be to Guatemala, where students and volunteering teachers will work with Habitat affiliates to build a home for a local family. The trip offers

students the chance to experience a different, simpler way of life and extend their helping hand not only locally, but globally as well. The opportunity helps students to gain perspective and try to understand how less fortunate people survive in the unfavourable conditions of a third world country. Hatzic is proud to be rly one of the few public schools in B.C. to offer such a wonderful opportunity for its students and help others on a global scale. Congratulations to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accepted participants! Hatzicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music and theatre department has

Erickson

always impressed the students and parents with their wonderful plays, musicals, concerts, etc. Therefore, we are pleased to announce that our drama students will be performing a play at our annual Remembrance Day assembly. We look forward to the performance and the chance to honour our local veterans. Hatzic is preparing for a school spirit week and a long list of other events for students to show off their school pride and spice up their lunch hours. Hatzicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spirit weeks also allow new students to get involved in different events around the school and join in the school spirit. Carly Erickson is a Grade 12 student at Hatzic Secondary School

Teamwork leads to tree planting The Rotary Club of Mission has teamed up with a local secondary school, an international aid project, the municipality and the provincial government to undertake a significant environmental project. Hundreds of trees have been planted on a greenway project that will eventually become a trail in the Cedar Valley area, south of Tunbridge Avenue. On Oct. 22, students from Hatzic Secondary School and Mission

Sunrise Rotary Club members converged on the site to dig holes and plant trees that are native to the area. The students undertook the work as a fundraising project for their planned trip to Guatemala to build a home in association with Habitat for Humanity. The funding for the trees was provided by the Trees for Tomorrow Program, and the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work by accessing a provincial

grant under the program. The provincial grant provides funds for riparian area restoration and environmental stewardship. It is facilitated by the District of Mission and Stave Valley Salmonoid Enhancement Society. To help the students in their task the Rotary Club of Mission set up rain shelters, cooked hot dogs and provided drinks. Area residents were invited to stop by and have lunch with the students.

Beware and be aware of bears It’s a fact: bears live in our neighbourhoods. While we may enjoy the occasional glimpse from a safe distance, inviting bears into our backyards can create serious hazards, both for people and for bears. With a growing bear population and residential developments advancing further into bear habitat, it is everyone’s responsibility to make sure that bears and people stay at a safe distance from each other. One person’s bad habits can create problems for a whole neighbourhood. Bears that have become used to human smells and garbage are a hazard and are often destroyed. Help them by not luring them into close contact with humans. To avoid unwanted encounters with bears, store your garbage in a bear-resistant garbage container in a secure building. Do not put out your garbage and compost materials until the morning of collection. Pick up fallen fruit promptly and feed your pets indoors. Even bird feeders can attract a hungry bear, so stretch piano wire at least three metres off the ground to hang them in the winter. Did you know that

the smell of petroleum also attracts bears? Ensure that all rubber, tarpaper, paint, turpentine, kerosene and charcoal fluids are put away and keep barbecues clean. If you have a backyard compost, add only small amounts of fruit and vegetable scraps at a time and immediately mix them in with the compost. Sprinkling garden lime on compost speeds up the decomposition process and decreases odours. Never put dairy products, bread or meat in your backyard composter. Always make ample noise if you are in an area where bears can be expected. With enough notice, most bears will leave the area to avoid conflict. If you do encounter a bear, stay calm and speak to it in a calm, firm voice to let him know you are a person. A mother with cubs may “bluff” charge at you, if she perceives you as a threat to her young, but will likely stop short of actual contact. If this happens, back away slowly, continuing to talk to the bear. If a black bear actually attacks you, fight back.

MSS Roadrunners trample T-Wolves The varsity football team is aiming for a first-ever conference title this Friday BY NEIL CORBETT Black Press

The Mission Roadrunners tamed the Robert Bateman Timberwolves 46-0 Friday. They will now host the Abbotsford Collegiate Panthers in a game for the Double A Eastern Conference championship on Friday at 2 p.m. Mission running backs Jessie Forcier (11 carries for 119 yards and two touchdowns) and Brenden Atkinson (five carries, 72 yards, two majors) keyed the ground attack. Quarterback Kevin Wiens threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to tight end Rhys Parry, and Hadley Gwyn had a 65-yard punt return for a score. The T-Wolves were driving as the game wound down, with Roadrunner backups on the field, but Mission’s Parker Johnson scooped up a fumble

and took it to the house for an 82-yard touchdown. The Roadrunners’ record now stands at 7-2, and 3-0 in league. The Abby Panthers are also coming off a decisive win, having blown out Pitt Meadows 40-0 on Thursday. Impressive running the ball were Mike Nguyen (four carries, 55 yards, two touchdowns) and Dillon McGwire (three carries, 54 yards and a touchdown). Quarterback Carter Williams also made an impact, twice connecting with Jesse Neufeld on touchdown passes, and scoring a TD off the rush. A win Friday would give Mission, ranked second in the province, their first-ever conference title. “It’s a big game for both programs,” said coach Kevin Watrin. “They’ll be tough. They’re solid in their schemes, and they have good size and athleticism across the board.”

Examining the steelhead

ith the opening of steelhead on the Thompson River once again, I want to take a week or three, to dwell on these highly prized fish. The question is often asked, what is a steelhead? Let’s begin by looking at James Stanley’s description in his book, Guide To Becoming A Rainbow Master. “Salmo gairdneri, the rainbow’s first name, was penned in 1836 by J. Richardson, an early biologistexplorer… Salmo is the Latin name for the salmon of the Atlantic, while the Je rainbow’s surname gairdneri, is an attribute to Dr. Meredith Gairdneri, an early naturalist employed by the Hudson’s Bay Co. “The rainbow’s colour varies with habitat, size, and sexual conditions… Over the years, anglers have distinguished these differing colour patterns with different names. Darker steam fish are often called rainbow, brighter fish in small lakes are termed Kamloops, and the large, silvery migratory fish are referred to as steelhead.” As we have read steelhead are simply a strain of large sea-going rainbow trout that have the same characteristics of all rainbows. Some would argue that they are distinctly different, but time and

science have proven this untrue. So closely related in appearance are these sea-going fish to their resident freshwater relatives, that on the word of the good doctor, T.W. Lambert, it was believed for 50 years, that no steelhead could pass Hell’s Gate. “It is hard to say how far the steelhead may run up the Fraser, probably at least as far as the Coquihalla… for up to this point there is nothing in the strength of the current to prevent; but above, in the Fraser Canyon, the tremendous difficulties of ascent may well stop ff progress. The steelhead has not developed the powerful tail and anal fin of the Pacific salmon, which must be a great aid to it passing through such strong water for such immense distances.”

The report The Fraser River is fishing well for spring, and cutthroat. For spring try: Popsicle, Big Black, Flat Black, Stonefly Nymph, Squamish Poacher, or Eggo. For cutthroat try: Eggo, Rolled Muddler, Tied Down Minnow, Mickey Finn, Stonefly Nymph, or American Coachman. The Stave River is fair for coho and cutthroat. For coho try: Christmas Tree, Rolled Muddler, olive Wooly Bugger, Bite Me, or Coho Blue.

Icebreakers at home tonight The Mission Icebreakers suffered another pair of losses this past week against opponents from Aldergrove and Maple Ridge. Last Friday the Ridge Meadows Flames overcame Mission for the 7-4 win. The Flames were up 2-0 after the first, when the Icebreakers scored midway through the second to draw within one, but another powerplay goal helped the Flames regain their two-goal lead. That lead would be short-lived, however, as Mission scored three unanswered goals to take a 4-3 lead with less than seven minutes to play. The Flames then responded with four goals of their own, taking total control of the game in the final minutes. The Flames outshot the Icebreakers 40-26, while going three-for-seven on the powerplay. The night before, the Aldergrove Kodiaks picked up another two points for their 4-2 win over the Ice-

breakers. Despite being outshot 44-40 by Mission, Aldergrove took the lead early in the first with an unassisted goal by Jordan Pughe at 4:29. Mission evened it up at 16:09, but Aldergrove scored the only two of the second to go up 3-1. Mission got their second goal in the third on a power play at 9:18 but the Kodiaks closed the game at 4-2 with a goal at 12:58. The Kodiaks hosted Mission again last night (Nov. 2), 7:15 p.m. at Aldergrove Arena. Results were not available by The Record’s press time. The Icebreakers now sit at last place in the Harold Brittain Conference with a 1-9 record. The lone win of the year came Oct. 13 with a 5-4 victory in overtime against Port Moody. The Mission team plays at home tonight (Nov. 3) and faces the North Delta Devils. Puck drops at 7:45 p.m.

Seniors’ quality of life can be enhanced by computers and the classes offered continue to be more sophisticated. Every school-age child is exposed to computers and will always have the opportunity to learn, but what about those who did not grow up with the same opportunity? Older

adults must take the initiative to learn how to use a computer, and although many have, there is still a significant number who have not. Learning should be a lifetime pursuit. How to operate a computer is just one aspect, but

more importantly, it is a portal to the vast amount of information that can be found on the Internet. If the desire to learn is not present, perhaps the ability to see and hear children and grandchildren could be an incentive. There are so many things to do on a computer and one’s lack of knowledge may prevent them from experiencing

all the benefits. A seniors’ quality of life could be significantly enhanced through the use of a computer. Don’t make excuses, try it, if you decide you don’t like computers at least you had the courage to try and know from experience and not just an assumption.

Celebrate All Saints 110th birthday this weekend with dinner, service All Saints Anglican Church is recognizing its 110th anniversary this weekend, and a number of events have been organized. To celebrate the milestone, there will be a dinner Nov. 5 in the church hall. Tickets and information may be obtained

by calling 604-826-2814. Then on Nov. 6, Bishop Michael Ingham of the Diocese of New Westminster will officiate at a special 10 a.m. service. All Saints started with a church service in November 1901. By April 1902 there was a church on the main street (Wash-

ington Street, now First Avenue) at the corner of James Street with a vicarage next door. From the outset there was a Ladies Guild and the ladies and men of All Saints were as much involved in the life of Mission, as they were in their church’s life. A bazaar before Christ-

mas has been coordinated by the Women of All Saints for over 105 years. This year, it will be Nov. 19, from noon until 4 p.m. It will include a tea, home-baking, sewing and crafts, silent auction, white elephant as well as the mincemeat, made annually since 1948.

RUSKIN DAM AND POWERHOUSE UPGRADE PROJECT FIELD INVESTIGATIONS AND PREP WORK PERIODIC ONE LANE CLOSURES OF WILSON STREET REQUIRED November 2011 – March 2012 As work continues on the final design and planning for the Ruskin Dam and Powerhouse Upgrade Project, local residents can expect to see an increase in activity in the area as BC Hydro hosts site visits for contractors bidding on the major contracts and engineers complete field investigations and finalize construction methodologies. This fall, BC Hydro and its contractors will be conducting additional geotechnical investigations, some pre-construction activities and a field test to finalize the design and methodology for the seismic upgrade of the right bank (abutment) of the dam. The field test will involve installing a sample section of jet grout columns and seepage cut-off wall that will be used to seal off water leakage around the dam. BC Hydro will be relocating a section of the power distribution line along the east side of Wilson Street near the dam. The existing line will be relocated underground on the west side of Wilson Street. This temporary relocation is required for site safety to avoid the risk of any drilling or construction equipment accidently contacting the lines during the field tests or project construction. Pending BCUC approval, the project is expected to begin construction early in 2012. Work is expected to begin in November and take approximately 3 to 4 months to complete. Single lane closures of Wilson Street will be required for a portion of this work. Traffic control personnel will be on site during any one lane road closures and priority access will be provided for emergency vehicles and the school bus. For more information on the project, please visit our website at www.bchydro.com/ruskin

For 50 years, BC Hydro has been providing clean, reliable electricity to our customers. Today we are planning for the next 50 years by investing in new projects, upgrading existing facilities and working with our customers to conserve energy through Power Smart.

There are four paintings propped near his dining room table, still waiting to be hung, and row upon row of paintings in a room below. That’s what happens when you are a prolific

painter who works on art daily for eight straight years. Paintings pile up. “If you work at something, it becomes second nature to you,” says Dobson, shrugging at the mention of talent. “I really encouraged myself at the start to paint, paint and paint.” As a manager for large construction projects, Dobson isn’t someone who grew up with a brush in hand. Eight years ago, he and his wife were walking on Jasper Avenue in Edmonton when they happened on a small painting in a store window. The painting was a

Renoir, although Dobson didn’t know that at the time, and he thought out loud: I can do something like that. That Christmas, his wife bought him a set of paints. “I haven’t been able to put them down since. It grabbed me and drew me in. I can’t wait for my next blank canvas,” he says. “It’s the strangest thing.” Dobson works primarily with oil paints, and strives to find light and colour using confident brushwork. He often uses pallet knives and his fingers while painting.

Dobson likes to work alla prima, a technique used extensively by the Impressionist movement, where you complete entire paintings in one session or two without waiting for layers to dry completely. It’s a technique that’s forced him to get better at drawing and study his subjects closely. “It’s almost like putting butter on a canvas,” says Dobson with delight. “If I can’t get it right the first time, I’ll throw it out.” Whether he’s painting cityscapes or landscape, Dobson tries to express his feelings in

his art and hopes to bring the observer closer to his thoughts about the people, places and things he sees around him. His paintings capture light in fleeting moments as it illuminates a mountain, building or face and evoke a sense of timelessness. It’s perhaps why Dobson was asked to join the invitation-only Stave Falls Artist Group, less than a year after he began painting. Their annual fall show is the only event where the public get to see his work up close. Since 2010, Dobson’s paintings have picked

up several American Art Awards winning first, third and fifth place in a variety of categories. This is a competition open to artists from around the world, juried by 25 well-respected galleries across the United States. Eight years on, Dobson’s compulsion to paint isn’t waning. After work, he still spends between three and four hours in front of a canvas, on weekends, 20 hours can disappear in a blink. “Art allows me to go to a quiet place,” says Dobson, wishing he could immerse himself in his paintings all the time.

Inaugural Muse Awards celebrate Mission’s best There were close to 100 attendees at the first annual Muse Awards, intended to celebrate cultural and arts achievements in Mission, on Thursday, Oct. 27 at the Cedarbrooke Chateau. Among the winners for the various categories, were: Skye Brooks, Doris Paterson, Kjaer Pedersen, Bruce Klassen, the JOOI Club, Samantha Svensk, Gail Brown-Evans, Rhett Nicholson, Lifetime

Learning Centre Society, and Holdsworth Lumber, with Envision winning the Corporate Business Muse Award, and John Taves winning the Lifetime Cultural Contribution Award. The trophies were designed by Clayburn Copperworks and Candlewood Designs. The idea for the awards was to foster ongoing cultural activity in Mission by recognizing its artists and artisans, its vi-

sionaries and volunteers, and those engaged in shaping and supporting memorable events. Awards were presented in many fields of cultural endeavour, including music, visual, performing and literary arts, with separate categories for emerging artists and for groups/individuals supporting and sustaining culture. The Muse Awards was created by the Cultural Resources Commission.

Concert to help Folk Fest BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

The Mission Folk Music Festival, a nonprofit charity best known for its annual summer concert, is appealing to the public to help a funding shortfall by attending the Juan Martin Flamenco Ensemble concert at Clarke Theatre, Nov. 6. The festival’s artistic director, Francis Xavier, currently in Barcelona for a music conference, said the charity lost $110,000 last year to provincial funding cuts. A large chunk of that, $65,000 in gaming revenues, was redirected into the provincial coffers last year. That doesn’t sit well with Xavier because he says the only rationale for allowing gambling in B.C. is to “redeem a social evil” by ensuring non-profits receive some proceeds.

“During this last recession, [B.C.] was the only province that made any cuts to the arts at all,” he said. Xavier said the arts provides twice as many jobs as forestry, a figure he added was pointed out by federal heritage minister James Moore during a visit to B.C. But although Xavier isn’t happy about the funding gap, he’s hoping Mission’s passionate music community will come and enjoy flamenco music. The idea for a fundraising concert came about after Xavier asked Juan Martin if he would appear in Mission. The two had met years ago at a music conference in Seville and have become good friends. “We could do bake sales, but I like to see things that happen emanating from an artistic purpose,” he said.

“Doing a concert like this is consistent with what we do, why we’re here, and has the possibility of raising funds without hitting people over the head for a donation.” By putting together a good musical performance for Mission, it will remind the community of the important role the charity plays not just during the annual festival, but in supporting the arts. As for the show, Xavier said it promises to be a “true experience” of flamenco music, which includes the six-person ensemble of the guitarist, the singer and the dancers. Juan Martin is an authentic experience of flamenco music that comes from the heartland of Spain’s Andalusia region, said Xavier. “It really is steeped in tradition, the roots are

For those who will never travel through the south of Spain and be able to sit in one of the small tablas, these places where they play flamenco, this is an opportunity to see flamenco as it truly is.” Ranked one of the top three guitarists in the world and the leading flamenco guitarist of his generation, Juan Martin will do several guitar solos. But the dance promises to be just as entertaining, featuring Miguel Infante and Raquel de Luna. The only thing missing will be tapas and a little bit of red wine, Xavier said jokingly. The Juan Martin Flamenco Ensemble plays at the Clarke Theatre on Nov. 6 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 and available at Murdoch’s Book Shop, the Clarke Theatre or online at www.missionfolkmusicfestival.com.

Food drive organized by Mission musician BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

A local businessman and country music singer has raised $600 for the Mission Food Bank and he’s hoping people will find it in their hearts to join him. Merv Tremblay, who runs an upholstery business and played at the Rockin’ River Music Festival this past summer, says during November his band will be promoting a food drive with all proceeds going to feed the needy. Every Sunday in November, his band is playing from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Captain’s Cabin and they’re holding two draws, one at 4:30 p.m. and one at 6 p.m., featuring meat from Dressed To Grill. Each draw gives some-

one a chance to win one of six meat products; 10 tickets cost $5. Tremblay says Dressed To Grill sells the meat at cost, but the value to winners is much higher. “We priced it out and to buy a box of meat like that is about $250,” he said. Although he’s raised $600 so far, some nights he only breaks even. That’s why he’s hoping businesses and residents will step up in their efforts to donate food. “We’re encouraging people to come on down [to Captain’s Cabin] and drop anything off at any time,” he said. Tremblay is also asking Mission business owners to put food boxes in their public areas to encourage more donations. He said he got the idea from Maple Ridge’s Witch

of Endor pub, which ran a food drive every Sunday through the Lion’s Club. He tried to get a community group in Mission to come on board, but after receiving no replies Tremblay decided to go it alone. The food drive will finish with a big party Dec. 3 at Captain’s Cabin from 2:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. featuring a different band every hour ranging from country music, to rock ‘n roll and blues. Tremblay said local country star Todd Richard has agreed to perform. So far Stan the Leather Man, Fountain Tire, Pete’s Pizza and Wentings Cycle have sponsored the food drive, and Tremblay said he’d welcome any help from local businesses. Tremblay can be reached at 604-8207666.

What’s Happening in Mission

GLORIOUS AUTUMN Autumn is a wonderful time, with its crisp, clear skies and the sound of leaves rustling in the wind. Although, it also heralds the shortened daylight hours and the end of summer which is always a little sad for me. As the weather starts to turn colder, we don’t seem to get outside as much. Instead, we have to find different activities that we enjoy to help keep the body, mind and spirit healthy. Each season is wondrous in its own way, and we should make a concerted effort to enjoy and appreciate all that God gives to us. As the autumn leaves change color to red and gold, it serves to remind us of how our Lord can transform our lives with His love. Our Heavenly Father wants only the best for us, and he fills us with His joy to magnify the fullness of life. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations. -K.J.V. Psalm 100:5

He leaves behind his loving wife Lois of 55 years, three children; Kathy (Roger), Wayne(Lucy), and Rhonda(Ray); four grand children; Shawna, Chris, Ashley and Ryan; his brother Doug and sister Marjorie in Ottawa.

He loved building houses by then and built many in Mission. When he retired he moved to Cache Creek. There were many new roads to explore in his car. He couldn’t wait for winter to come so he and Lois could go to Mexico. The rest of his time he loved spending with his children and grand children. Ron was quick to put a smile on your face when you were with him, or even if you had just met him. He will be sadly missed, forever in our hearts. We know he will be having a Rum! Rum!
