INTRODUCING

PET C

The District of Mission released a statement Monday saying it is “disappointed to learn that a high risk sexual offender” was released into the community without any prior consultation or advanced notice.

Mission RCMP issued a public warning Friday that a serial rapist with a high risk of reoffending was released from prison last Thursday and will be residing in Mission.

Andrew Aurie Jefferson, 26, has a criminal record involving sexual-related offences against adult females.

“The district has received assurance from the RCMP that appropriate measures are being deployed to ensure the safety of Mission residents,” reads the statement, which adds that mayor and council are seeking a resolution to this “unacceptable situation.”

Mayor James Atebe called a special council meeting Monday to speak with the RCMP. In a statement released Tuesday, the district said, “While communities do not have the legal right to refuse entry to a duly released prisoner, [Mission] is satisfied that the coordinated efforts of the RCMP and Corrections [Canada] is ensuring that public safety concerns are addressed.”

According to the Nov. 2, 2011 Parole Board of Canada decision, Jefferson’s psychological risk assessment determines him to be a “high risk of violent, including sexual, recidivism.”

The report shows Jefferson has racked up five institutional charges and twice failed to finish sexual offender counselling.

On several occasions in prison work programs, Jefferson has been suspended “due to poor attitude and inability to control [his] emotions.”

The report also indicates Jefferson refused to comply with a residency condition to manage his risk of reoffending.

Eight months ago, Jefferson was deemed a high risk to reoffend by the Parole Board and was denied an application for early release.

Jefferson terrorized a Calgary neighbourhood in 2006 with a series of knife-point rapes, gaining the nickname the “Falconridge rapist.”

A month later on May 10, a 35-yearold woman was grabbed by the neck as she was leaving a 7-Eleven store, dragged to a footpath and assaulted.

Jefferson was convicted in 2007 of sexually assaulting two women with knives in April and May 2006, as well as assaulting another woman in March and sentenced to six years in prison.

Jefferson must report to the Mission RCMP detachment daily and will be monitored by a probation officer.

He has several parole conditions: • no contact with victims or families • no possession of knives except to prepare and consume food • shall not carry, own or possess any weapons; • no alcohol or controlled substances • shall not enter any place where alcohol is the primary commodity for sale • must remain in his home between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. daily except for work.

Jefferson is a Caucasian male, 5’9” tall and weighs 83 kg (183 lb). He has brown hair and green eyes.

If you see Jefferson violating any of these conditions, do not approach him.

A 66-year-old woman was mugged as she loaded groceries into her car last Friday evening outside of the Real Canadian Superstore on Lougheed Highway.

A male between 5’8” and 5’10” with a slim build wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans approached her and allegedly struck the woman on her arm, causing her purse to drop to the ground.

The male grabbed the purse and fled on foot.

The victim was shaken and upset but did not sustain any physical injuries.

Mission Mounties, along with the Lower Mainland District Police Dog

Service, canvassed and searched the area but the man was not found.

“Personal safety is taking the necessary steps on knowing your surroundings,” said Mission RCMP Cpl. Sharon Siluch in a statement.

“Park in well-lit areas, scan the area while you approach your car and keep all personal belongings, such as a hand bags or purses, close to you and out of sight.”

Police are urging anyone with information on this crime to contact the Mission detachment at 604-826-7161 or call Crimestoppers at 604-669TIPS (8477), and quote Mission file # 2011- 13253.

Remembrance Day 2011 The Clarke Theatre was full Friday morning for the annual Remembrance Day ceremonies.

The inclement weather did not stop hundreds from coming out, including a full parade roster which included local veterans, Mission RCMP, Mission Fire/ Rescue, Air Cadets, the Elks Hall and Scouts, among others.

Once the event ended at the Clarke, more wreaths were laid at the cenotaph at the Legion.

OPINION

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

Make your vote count this Saturday With a mayoralty race and 46 candidates vying for spots on municipal councils, school boards and regional district electoral areas, the Nov. 19 civic election in Mission should be an interesting one to watch.

Whether voters will agree is an open question.

With such a large number of people working for your support in the municipality, it will take citizens time and effort to vet all of them to see who is most deserving.

Is it worth it? Absolutely.

The people who sit in council chambers are ultimately responsible for the property taxes you pay, the street-level services you receive, and the development decisions that shape your community.

Those who serve on our local boards of education are trusted with ensuring an adequate learning environment is in place for society’s most precious resource: our children.

We urge you to take the time to research candidates and their positions on the issues that are important to you so you know where they stand.

To help with this onerous process, The Mission Record has been publishing all the profiles of the candidates vying for your votes in the past number of editions. If you missed any of them, they are all available at www.missioncityrecord.com under the Election tab.

And starting on page eight of today’s edition, you’ll find comprehensive stories on recent all-candidates meetings and some of the issues prompting these individuals to run.

Take the time to become familiar with the men and women running for office, and then — most importantly — get out and vote.

Local government neglected again

T

he red-headed stepchild of democracy is shivering on the doorstep again. Most won’t open the door.

Local government elections are always overshadowed by louder events, and this year is no different.

The “occupy” nonsense, the teachers’ strike, the precarious economy and the media’s fixation on them are part of the problem.

But let’s face it. Public indifference to local government has left it mainly to self-serving politicians and special interest groups.

Community newspapers soldier on through the three years between elections to highlight issues and choices, but few people join the debate when it’s time to vote.

The recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention demonstrated this. Local politicians love to tell senior governments what to do.

They’d much rather debate smart meters or bad old Ottawa’s RCMP costs than talk about their own performance.

Most of the mayors and councillors on hand were unhappy with the province’s

plan to appoint a municipal to talk about the fact that auditor-general to examine B.C. municipal spending, the efficiency of municipal adjusted for inflation, is now spending. Just another layer growing almost four times of bureaucracy, according to as fast as population growth. these experts on the subject.

ing agent.

Of course school trustees have no actual authority over these huge and costly issues.

The province took away school board taxing authority long ago, because the teacher and support staff unions have the money and voting numbers to control low-turnout local elections for their own benefit. Now the unions have to settle for vetting candidates according to their willingness to lobby the B.C. government on behalf of unions.

There are still things you can do to compare candidates, and it doesn’t take long to sort through a dozen or two hopefuls.

Please, check this paper’s website for recent surveys and stories on the local candidates, and take some time on Saturday to back the people who you think have the best experience, independence and understanding of the community’s needs.

Occupy the voting booth.

YOUR VIEWS Mission residents need tax relief, not increases Editor, The Record: Open letter to Mission mayoralty candidates: The state of the global economy is a warning sign of one issue that needs to be front and centre this election: spending.

Spending by municipal politicians is starting to rival healthcare in its ability to increase every year. In fact, in B.C., municipal spending is going up at twice the rate of inflation and population growth combined.

One of the biggest drivers for increases in

our district’s spending is wages and benefits.

On average a municipal worker gets 10 per cent more than their private sector counterpart doing the same job; with benefits that increases to 35 per cent more, plus they have iron-clad job security.

Out-of-control municipal spending means more than rising property taxes.

A ton of municipal fees and charges are layered onto the cost of new homes. Added to permitting and licensing delays, these costs mean

that new families can no longer afford to buy homes and live in the neighbourhoods in which they grew up.

1. How will you curtail spending increases and restore balance between the pay for municipal workers and workers in the private sector?

2. Can partnerships with private contractors or neighbouring communities and municipalities or alternate service delivery methods reduce costs?

3. Can taxpayers afford to continue to pay for non-essential services

with their tax dollars?

What are the essential services the district needs to provide?

4. Why aren’t new businesses and commercial enterprises moving to Mission and creating new jobs for our children?

The citizens of Mission deserve answers that offer tax relief, not tax increases. We need to do everything possible to avert a spendingdriven disaster as seen in Greece and other European countries.

Jack Davidson Mission

Role demands competent people Editor, The Record: Why vote? Aside from the obvious democratic right to do so, the pragmatic reason is the people we elect get to spend our tax dollars.

The immense importance of the role, which requires people who are competent, accountable, transparent, responsive to residents and prudent with tax dollars is often lost.

We must be wary of the bottomline-only syndrome that perpetuates a lack of progress. Rather, careful governance of tax dollars still permits Mission to expand in a sensible way, create inclusive and age-friendly communities observing smart growth, not urban sprawl.

Major focus is needed to increase the industrial tax base, grant

Local government decisions affect our day to day lives Editor, The Record: A letter to the residents of Mission: Do you appreciate turning on your tap and getting good, clean water? Do you enjoy driving on well-maintained roads? Do you put your garbage, recyclables and compost out to the curb every week? Do you value a safe neighbourhood?

We can’t take these services for granted.

As residents, we should do what we can to keep these services offered efficiently and in a cost-effective manner. The municipal election campaign is underway and this is our opportunity to determine who is going to be making decisions on our behalf.

The decisions made by municipal governments affect our daily lives more than those made by any other level of government, and yet, voter

turnout at municipal elections is dismal. Mission faces some very challenging years ahead. Let’s get out and vote and let the new council know that a majority of us do care about our community. A large voter turnout will send a message that council will be held to account for their decisions.

The voter eligibility rules are pretty straightforward. You must be a Canadian citizen, 18 years or older and be able to prove that you have been a resident of B.C. for six months, and a resident, or property owner, in Mission for at least 30 days. For something that will affect your daily life for the next three years and beyond, your task is pretty simple.

Get out and vote on Nov. 19.

Illegal dumping needs attention Editor, The Record: As I drove to work today, passing the many dozens of election signs that covered every square inch of space along the road ways, I realized that I have neglected to even research or care about any of these names on the boards or what they stand for.

A couple days ago I was confronted by a man standing outside the Superstore who was stopping people to tell them about his campaign to run for mayor. I wish now I had taken the time to stop and speak with him because the more I think

about Mission and what it needs, more questions seem to surface.

For instance, what are any of these councillor and mayoral contenders going to do to address the negative effects of illegal dumping and grow operations in our community. Namely, the garbage and waste that is constantly thrown in our streams, streets and back roads. As the coordinator for the Mission Adopt-A-Block Society, I have been face-to-face with these problems and it is many of our tireless volunteers who work to clean it up. Not to mention the heavily

littered areas of town covered with takeout garbage from people too busy, lazy or inconsiderate to put it in a waste basket.

Over the course of four Saturdays, we cleaned up almost two tonnes of garbage and that didn’t even account for 1/10th of the streets in Mission.

To all the candidates, what are your plans to reduce waste, illegal dumping, and help encourage citizens to take more pride in their community and not litter?

Auxiliary fund helps Meals on Wheels Editor, The Record: I would like to express my sincere thanks to the Mission Hospital Auxiliary memorial fund for their generous donation of $1,000 to the Mission Community Services Meals on Wheels program.

The auxiliary members work tirelessly to improve the quality of life for many residents. Meals on Wheels and other community programs are essential

in supporting seniors to stay in their own homes, reducing the need for facility care, thus saving health care dollars.

I want to commend them on recognizing the importance of supporting local programs and showing this generous support.

Councillor all-candidates a civil affair

BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

All 25 candidates for Mission council crowded the Clarke Theatre stage Wednesday evening for a cordial and respectful debate meant to help the public choose six councillors in the Nov. 19 election.

The candidates were broken into groups of four and five, answering pre-selected questions delivered by the moderator, Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce president Cal Crawford.

Since the questions were varied, no single issue dominated the floor, although high taxes, the need for development and environmental stewardship, including the autonomy of Mission water, was discussed at length.

Incumbent Coun. Mike Scudder said the district needs more economic planning, citing the usefulness of the economic development officer.

Larry Nundal, a member of the seven-slate Council for Responsible Municipal Government (CRMG), said Mission needs more commercial and industrial development to increase the tax base.

The CRMG team continued to hammer on economic issues all evening, presenting their slate as a vi-

able solution to an overtaxed district.

CRMG member Dave Hensman said staying with the current mayor will mean high taxes and more in-camera meetings.

Candidate Tom Armstrong said he wants to conduct a review of critical projects, and then look at secondary projects to see if they’re satisfying the needs of the community.

There was also talk about cutting nonessential projects.

“We would have to reduce right across the board to achieve our target,” said candidate Pam Alexis.

“We’d have to ask our staff to do more with less.”

Rhett Nicholson said he would focus on critical issues and minimize grants to arts and cultural services.

But Shelley Clarkson felt even

more needs to be invested in the arts, encouraging a partnership with postsecondary institutions to create an arts and culture centre.

Jim Abbott agreed a larger tax base is needed, but is against selective cutting of programs.

Most candidates were against any future P3 partnership with Abbotsford on water access.

Kevin O’Beirne said he didn’t understand how people can make any decisions about water in Mission because they haven’t been given enough information. He also suggested the Stave Lake glacier will disappear in 17 years anyway due to ongoing global warming.

“I’m against P3 but global warming is junk science,” candidate Lee Hanlon said.

Danny Plecas.

Paul Hockridge didn’t think a bypass was necessary. “Drop the speed limit to 30 (km/h) and enforce it,” he suggested.

Ultimately, each issue came back to finances.

“I think it’s time to get real,” said CRMG candidate Jeff Jewell. “I don’t think we’ve even paid for the Leisure Centre yet.”

But Stewart took offence to the suggestion Mission’s finances are in poor shape, saying that according to the district’s financial director, finances have never been better.

CRMG candidate Tony Luck said the key issue is in streamlining development applications at municipal hall to grow the tax base quicker.

Stevens agreed, saying it’s critical Mission realizes how it presents itself to potential developers and investors.

“Mission needs to be development friendly and we need to let them know we’re open for business,” echoed Gill.

Kevin Francis spoke to the need for more public involvement, and that as councillor he would create a better partnership between council and the public.

Hensman said Mission doesn’t have a water problem today, suggesting new developers should pay.

Incumbent Coun. Heather Stewart said Mission will be able to chart its own way, independent of Abbotsford’s decisions.

The issue of secondary suites in Mission was also a hot topic of discussion, with candidates like Tom Armstrong and Gurp Chahal suggesting it’s a valuable means of income for homeowners and provides a way for families to live together.

“Secondary suites provide affordable housing to people but we have to ensure they’re legal,” said Kerm Gill.

Arnold Muir was most direct. “If we weren’t being taxed to death in this town, maybe we wouldn’t need secondary suites,” he said.

There was talk about a balance between development and environmental stewardship.

“Why do people want to live in Mission? Because we live in a beautiful backyard. Destroy that and people won’t want to live here,” said incumbent Coun. Jenny Stevens of CRMG. Rhett Nicholson said the best way to preserve the environment is to make it economically viable through tourism, a sentiment echoed by Pam Alexis.

The responses were varied. Roughly 10 candidates cited finances or spending as the top concern, followed by eight candidates who said transparency and accountability were most important. Of concern to seven candidates are tax issues and the tax base in Mission.

The rest of the issues run the gamut from water and metering, waterfront development, the need for investment, downtown development, public communication, health care and seniors care.

Here are the choices given by the candidates:

I would strive to have a variety of courses and programs restored and available to every student in every school. This district needs to make spending on students its focus, providing teachers with the resources and tools to address the learning needs of our children.

Mayoral candidates face off STORIES

BY JASON

ROESSLE

Mission Record

Mission’s mayoral candidates faced a number of questions Tuesday night, each trying to convince voters they have the abilities to lead the municipality.

Approximately 350 people were at the Clarke Theatre to hear Ted Adlem, James Atebe, Mike Gildersleeve and Dan Williamson articulate their vision for the future.

After brief introductions, the first question of the night was about a core services review, and if the candidates undertook one, and it indicated tough decisions were required, could they be the “axeman.�

Adlem answered first, stating if elected, he would become the CEO of the District of Mission, and that he was “willing and able to be the axeman,� but only after weighing the recommendations against the best interests of the taxpayer.

Incumbent Atebe said the oftmentioned core review was part of the “misinformation� being spread in the community.

Mission does a core review every year just before the proposed tax rates are offered up to the residents, he said, as the budget is looked over in the attempt to find inefficiencies. To hire an independent company to do one would cost around $100,000. Mission’s finance department has been given awards twice in as many years for its accounting practices, Atebe noted.

Top election issues shared Local residents decide Saturday who they want to see leading the district for the next three years, and four men are vying for your votes.

Incumbent James Atebe is facing three challengers: Ted Adlem, Mike Gildersleeve and Dan Williamson. Each candidate was asked what were the top two election issues in 2011. Below are their responses.

Left to right: Mayoral candidates Dan Williamson, Mike Gildersleeve, James Atebe and Ted Adlem address the crowd Tuesday night. The all-candidates meeting was presented by the Mission Chamber of Commerce, The Mission Record, Fraser Valley Real Estate Board and the Business and Professional Women’s Club.

JASON ROESSLE PHOTO

“I’m tired of the talk, talk, talk,� said Gildersleeve. Perhaps the tax rate is good enough for you, he said to the current mayor, “but not for us.� He said he would work with the community to find a solution.

Williamson said he would do what the community wants. He believes there is a lack of communication from municipal hall and that a revamped website that offers information to citizens would help. “We need more public meetings to find out what people want,� he said.

Each candidate was asked

what they would do to create an open and transparent government. “This is a major theme. There are too many in-camera meetings,� said Gildersleeve. “We need meaningful dialogue with citizens. We need to know what council is up to. The respect is not there. We need a more collaborative approach.�

Williamson reiterated the need to hear directly from residents, and that for those who are too nervous to appear as a delegation or pose queries at question period at council meetings, an improved website where com-

ments could be submitted would be useful.

Adlem opined that many of the items discussed in-camera by the current council perhaps did not meet the standard for removing them from the public meeting. “I’m fully prepared to have open and honest government,� and that only issues relating to legal, land and labour should be heard in-camera.

Atebe defended council, stating all closed meetings are governed by the Community

Ted Adlem A local business owner, Adlem says taxes are his biggest concern. “In 2008, the economy was good and it was the best year for many of us,� he said. “Now, people are not spending money because they just don’t have any.�

For Adlem, and the Citizens for Responsible Municipal Government, given most people’s income hasn’t grown in step with the increasing budget, current leadership just “don’t understand what’s happening in the real world.�

Adlem is also incensed that he paid 12 per cent more in taxes this year than last after being told the increase would be three per cent.

Secondly, Adlem put his name forward after seeing how the Public Safety Inspection Team (PSIT) carried out its duties.

Adlem says the PSIT team, which would carry out inspections of homes based on high energy consumption and levy fees of up to $5,200, shows the “moral compass is on the wrong path.�

James Atebe Atebe said one of his key desires is that economic development continues and this brings an expansion to the commercial and industrial tax base. “This will buffer homeowners from suffering through high taxes,� he said. “In turn, this brings jobs, and keeps money here. Economic development also includes educational opportunities.�

Gravel mining has been the most contentious issue to come before the Fraser Valley Regional District board.

Electoral area candidates were asked if they supported the FVRD’s proposed Aggregate Pilot Project, which would identify areas in the region where gravel mining would be allowed.

Area C, which includes Lake Errock, is where most of the public opposition has been heard.

Area C Candidate Mel Waardenburg said the APP is “a beginning” which will allow the regional government some say in a process over which it has no input today.

“The devil will be in the details, if we move forward with the implementation of the Aggregate Pilot Project,” he said.

“The (APP) document is vague with respect to many issues, including how much the (removal) fee will be and how it will be spent and who will oversee the policing of the gravel industry within the FVRD,” he said.

“I can only support (the APP) if the communities and residences affected get a direct benefit from it, through better services, including more parks and trails and increased policing of the gravel trucking industry.”

Area C candidate Colin Faulkner said “whether we like it or not, [gravel pits] are here to stay, so

instead of spending our time and resources to fight it, we should be trying to find ways to work with them in order to maintain a happy median.”

“Instead of looking at the negatives, one should look at the positives, such as jobs created by the industry.”

Wendy Bales, the incumbent director, said the APP could have been successful — if the public had been given a place at the committee where the agreement was negotiated, along with representatives from the gravel industry, the regional district and the provincial government.

“By leaving the public consultation out of the process for over five years, many of the conflicts of communities and other resource and water users have yet to be resolved,” she said.

“The APP could work, if participants, including all the other concerned groups, were allowed to participate, not just industry and various governments,” she said. “If the government were serious regarding the building of an APP which would avoid future conflicts, they would certainly include the local area residents’ concerns, whose lives are impacted the most.”

“I am still willing to work towards that end on the APP committee,” she said.

Candidates complete responses are available online at www.missioncityrecord.com under the News tab.

Society requests more funding

BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

The Mission District Historical Society, which operates the archives, museum and other heritage places, has asked the district for $25,000 in the 2012 budget to cover provincial funding cuts.

The society lost $11,000 this year in gaming grant funds, as the province made cutbacks to charities everywhere in the province. The Mission Folk Music Festival also lost $130,000 in provincial funding, which they are struggling to make up.

“We are digging into reserves which we still have in order to make up for the $11,000 deficit,” said society director Joan MacLatchy in addressing council Monday evening.

MacLatchy said with the short museum hours and fixed costs of heating and electricity, the only area in which they can cut back is hours.

“If we cut staff, who are already part-

time, we’re going to lose our professionals,” she said.

Staffers already work only 25 hours a week, and MacLatchy said any further cuts will force their workers to seek out other municipalities.

Coun. Jenny Stevens said that while she values a balanced budget, a community is judged by how well it supports its volunteer and non-profit organizations, adding that every dollar put into such an organization usually generates $10 in community value.

Coun. Mike Scudder led a motion that staff look at finding a source for funding the $25,000 in the 2012 budget, which is still in the development stage.

Although only $11,000 of the $25,000 gaming grants funding was cut, the Society is seeking the full $25,000 from the district, citing the 2011 cuts as an example that it cannot depend on the province for any stable budgeting without being faced with a potential similar deficit.

Report spanks cities for overspending

BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

No Lower Mainland cities have come even close to limiting their spending to a growth rate deemed sustainable by a small business lobby group.

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business released an analysis Monday that found overall municipal operating spending in the province has soared at nearly four times the combined rate of population and inflation over the past decade.

Mission – which the CFIB credits with one of the best cost-control records – still saw its spending grow at double that rate from 2000 to 2009 and almost every other city in the region increased its spending at least three times as fast.

“Municipalities are spending more than ever and faster than ever,”

ing.”

She said the CFIB would like new councils elected Nov. 19 to try harder to contain the wage and benefit demands of unionized municipal workers.

Municipal contracts are coming up for renewal and the previous bargaining round led to pre-Olympic deals that gave civic workers across much of Metro Vancouver wage hikes of at least 13 per cent over four years.

According to the BC Municipal Spending Watch 2011 report, the biggest cities in the province spent on average $1,290 per person on operating costs in 2009.

It does not include capital project spending.

The large Lower Mainland cities that spent the most per capita were West Vancouver at $1,850 per person, New Westminster at $1,697, Vancouver at

said CFIB B.C. director Shachi Kurl. “Taxpayers can only bear so much.

Things are on track to become unsustainable.”

The Union of B.C. Municipalities has previously argued cities are struggling to pay more costs that are being downloaded onto them by senior government, and have little control over some escalating costs, such as policing.

But the CFIB discounts that argument, noting cities are also receiving much more in grants and transfers from Ottawa and Victoria, while also raising much more revenue directly in local fees and charges.

“We are by no means suggesting communities should sacrifice public safety,” Kurl said. “There are far more places for cities to look at trimming spending and holding the line than cutting polic-

$1,586, North Vancouver City at $1,466 and Delta at $1,448.

The most frugal Lower Mainland cities on a per capita basis were Surrey, which spends $856 per resident, Chilliwack at $939, followed by Maple Ridge, Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, Mission, Abbotsford, Langley City and Burnaby in a range from $1,000 to $1,200.

When adjusted for inflation, those per capita spending numbers increased by at least 25 per cent over the last decade in most Lower Mainland cities and by more than 50 per cent in Abbotsford, Langley Township and Chilliwack.

The report also ranks cities on a combined measure of spending per capita and the growth in inflation-adjusted spending from 2000 to 2009.

Those rankings show Mission has performed best in keeping costs under control in the Lower Mainland, followed by Port Coquitlam, Surrey, Burnaby and Langley City.

Kurl said bigger cities have some advantages in spreading out their costs.

“They’re pretty hard core about defining what a core service is,” Kurl said, adding it shows fiscal discipline can be achieved regardless of the political stripe of the council at city hall.

Had local city councils restrained spending to the growth of population and inflation in the last decade, the CFIB report said, a family of four would have saved $3,000 to $5,000 in most Lower Mainland cities and around $8,000 on the North Shore.

It estimates B.C. residents overall would have saved more than $4 billion over the last decade had spending been held to the recommended level.

businesses broken into A number of Mission businesses have suffered smash and grabs lately, prompting local Mounties to encourage owners to take measures to protect their property.

Over the past week, RCMP have responded to several business alarms, and found the front door smashed in by a rock.

In each incident, the suspects allegedly stole a number of business items.

Police have the following suggestions: • Keeping store fronts and open spaces well-lit. • When closing businesses for the evening, empty out cash drawers, and leave them open, so that they can be seen from outside to be empty. • Protect any glass with polycarbonate sheets, bars or roll-down covers. • Make sure that all entrances to the business are under constant visual surveillance. • Install an alarm system.

There are no suspects at present, said Cpl. Sharon Siluch.

Final debate targets farms The Cohen Inquiry is being urged to recommend the removal of ocean-based salmon farms from the B.C. coast — even if science has yet to prove the farms are to blame for the decline of Fraser River wild sockeye stocks.

Gregory McDade, the lawyer acting for a coalition of groups opposing salmon farms, said in his final submission recently it would be wrong to leave farms in the water while scientists study the risks to passing sockeye for another five to 10 years.

“The real issue here is proof versus risk,” McDade told Justice Bruce Cohen, who is heading the probe of Fraser salmon returns.

“The risk here is real. Don’t wait for 10 years until this is proven and we have no fish left.”

The potential role of aquaculture has been the most acrimonious topics for the inquiry, which was named in 2009 to investigate the steep plunge in Fraser sockeye returns that year.

But two researchers dispatched by the inquiry to investigate the impact of farmed salmon came back in September deeply divided on the severity of the threat.

No smoking gun emerged that pointed to a single pathogen or illness — or other potential cause — for the decline.

“Which particular disease and when is not the issue,” McDade said. “We’re creating a dramatically changed environment every time we create a fish farm.”

He disputed aquaculture industry claims farmed fish are generally healthy and said the year-round presence of large populations of farmed salmon in water where wild runs pass by is inherently dangerous.

Every other fish farming country has suffered devastating disease outbreaks, he said.

“Do we have to wait for that to occur before we do something about it?” McDade asked. “Put them where the wild salmon aren’t migrating.”

Provincial government representatives said some scientists who appeared before the commission spoke beyond their areas of expertise, feeding what one expert witness termed “pure speculation” that farms are harming wild stocks.

“It is unlikely that aquaculture caused the long-term decline in productivity of Fraser River salmon or the decline in 2009,” said the province’s Tara Callan in B.C.’s final submission.

“The evidence points to global features, including marine ecology and climate change,” added Clifton Prowse, another member of the provincial legal team at the inquiry.

Alan Blair, representing the B.C.

Salmon Farmers Association, argued aquaculture has had little if any impact on wild stocks, rejecting the “fanciful attacks” in blogs and newspaper columns “where facts and fiction merge seamlessly.”

He noted that opponents of fish farms, who previously targeted them for spreading sea lice, have moved on to disease allegations like Infectious Salmon Anemia (ISA) after researchers testified lice were unlikely to be the culprits causing the sockeye decline.

Aquaculture accounts for 39 per cent of B.C. seafood exports, accounting for 6,000 direct and indirect jobs and $348 million in annual revenue, the inquiry heard.

While closed containment aquaculture systems have been touted as an alternative, provincial government reps told the commission it’s too early to tell if they will prove viable.

Tim Leadem, who represents conservation groups at the inquiry, agreed with the criticism of the aquaculture industry, but also sought to inject concern about the potential threat to salmon from various other sources, such as industrial pollution, municipal sewage and the salvage logging of Interior forests killed by mountain pine beetles.

The Cohen Inquiry will reconvene in mid-December to consider evidence on the threat from ISA virus.

YOUR EYES Jamie Barrow sits for his flu shot last Saturday at Silverdale Hall. The Fraser Health Authority is hosting one final clinic in Mission Nov. 24 at fire station one on Seventh Avenue.

BOB FRIESEN PHOTO

Final flu shot clinic offered next Thursday With flu season approaching, Fraser Health’s chief medical health officer is reminding Fraser Health residents that the flu shot is the best protection against the flu virus and its complications.

“The flu is highly contagious and can cause severe complications for those with heart, lung and other health problems. Even if you don’t become severely ill, getting the flu can mean several missed days of school, work and other activities,” said Dr. Paul Van Buynder. “The flu vaccine is a safe and effective way to help people stay healthy, prevent illness, and even save lives.”

The flu season usually

runs from November to April with an estimated 10-25 per cent of people infected each year.

A person can have the flu virus without knowing it, and pass it to someone who may become seriously ill. An estimated 400-600 Fraser Health residents, mainly seniors, die every year from complications of influenza infection.

Last year, more than 285,000 seasonal flu shots were provided free of charge to those at risk of complications from the flu.

Many physician offices and pharmacies provide vaccines free-of-charge to those who are eligible or at low cost. More information is available on the Immunize BC web-

FHA care home residents to get vitamin D supplements Officials hope supplements will prevent injuries

BY JEFF NAGEL

DECEMBER 7-10

Black Press

Fraser Health will offer vitamin D supplements to all 7,500 residents at the region’s care homes in an effort to reduce the number and cost of bone fractures among the elderly.

Although vitamin D is critical to healthy bones and muscles, it’s not standard in residential care facilities, where residents are less likely to get the nutrient through sunlight.

Over 50 Teams, 750 Athletes & Coaches all in 1 Great City

The Championship Saturday games Columbia Bible College • 11 am Start with grade 8 boys to senior boys championships at 7 pm

ADMISSION:

The new protocol – the first of its kind in Canada – calls for most residents to get a 20,000 IU weekly dose unless they opt out or have conditions like renal failure.

Fraser Health officials estimate the vitamins will cost the region less than $20,000 a year, while the cost of treating one broken hip ranges from $18,000 to $30,000.

“We know that seniors with fall-related injuries tend to stay in hospital twice as long as seniors hospitalized for all other reasons,” Fraser Health CEO Dr. Nigel Murray said. “This protocol will help to decrease falls and keep seniors in their own homes.”

Fabio Feldman, Fraser’s manager of seniors fall and injury pre-

vention, estimated the vitamin D supplements can prevent 10 to 25 per cent of falls in care homes.

He said that could translate into 1,000 fewer falls per year in Fraser.

The region was responding to research that shows high levels of vitamin D deficiency in older seniors in Canadian residential care homes.

Vitamin D can help strengthen muscles, which is important in maintaining balance and mobility.

Officials also cite other vitamin D benefits, such as a possible reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer, along with potentially improved immune response and antiinflammatory benefits.

Family law overhauled for more modern times

BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

The B.C. government has introduced sweeping changes to family law, to reflect modern trends from test-tube babies to the rising number of common-law relationships.

B.C. now has three times the number of couples moving in together as are getting married, and those common-law relationships are more likely to break up. The legislation treats those similar to a marriage, in caring for children and division of assets.

The new Family Law Act is designed to encourage out-of-court settlements in family breakups, which account for about one fourth of all

cases in B.C. courts. It does away with the terms “custody” and “access” and emphasizes parental responsibility and guardianship instead, with new penalties for parents who refuse to provide parenting time or fail to spend time with children as agreed or ordered by a judge.

The act also creates a new protection order for cases involving family violence, with any breach of the order treated as a criminal offence.

Tracy Porteous, executive director of the Ending Violence Association of B.C., said civil protection orders under the Family Relations Act are not taken seriously by police or coordinated with criminal investigations. Domestic

violence cases are the second largest category of criminal charges in B.C. behind impaired driving.

“Hopefully, under this legislation, [judges] are not going to arrange to have someone who’s threatening to kill the mother to have custody of the child,” Porteous said.

Eugene Raponi, a family lawyer and mediator in Victoria, said commonlaw spouses currently have a difficult process to divide assets if they split up. The new legislation exempts inherited assets from settlements, and whether the couple is married or not, it calls for

even division of assets accumulated while they are together.

It also protects voluntary agreements from being overturned by a judge, and provides for mediation and arbitration to reach agreements.

“I like to say that if it costs as much to get divorced as it did to get married, you’re doing well, and I think a mediation can accomplish that goal,” Raponi said.

The new law clarifies legal status for children where sperm or egg donors are used. An “intent to parent” definition ensures that donors do not have legal standing as parents.

Stewardship, Grants & Donor Development Coordinator Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Fraser Valley is seeking a community minded individual with a passion for children and work in the charitable sector. The position will have lead responsibilities in donor development and stewardship including with individuals, foundations and corporations.

YOUR TAX DOLLARS MATTER TO ME! Since my election in 2008, I have endeavored to reduce the tax impact on the residents of Mission. In 2010, I supported the need for a Core Service Review and voted against a 5.8% tax hike. In 2011, I supported increasing our financial reserves (1.0%), maintaining fire services (1.02%) & servicing our operating cost (1.17%). Over the last year we where able to reduce our operating cost by 2.25%, which limited the tax increase to 3.19%.

In the coming years, within our growing community we face mounting pressures to satisfy additional policing, transit needs, and maintenance cost. Furthermore, without Provincial Gaming Funds, community organizations will struggle to survive. With consideration to these circumstances it will be difficult to achieve a zero percent tax rate. In this year alone, we will need to trim the budget by $1.35 million if we want to limit the tax increase to 1%.

The real solution is to generate new revenue from the commercial sector. In the next 4 years, we will see the infusion of $950 million in our local economy. This investment will provide the opportunity for new tax revenue and lessen the burden on residential homeowners.

It is important to take a prudent approach to our finances as we face global uncertainty in the coming years. I support the need to build financial reserves and the reduction of long term debt. My objective, as we move forward, is to satisfy Core Service provisions while eliminating unnecessary tax increases on the homeowner.

Participating businesses with large discounts on some inventory items include Gold Bin Jewellers, Goody Too Shoes, Rex Cox Men’s Wear, and Swing Optical.

Billinger said the idea originated several years ago from Goody Too Shoes’ owner Gemma Quiring, after downtown businesses kept hearing from shoppers that they exhausted themselves looking for Christmas presents in Abbotsford, never real-

izing downtown Mission already has what they’re looking for. “Here’s an opportunity to see what we have first,� said Billinger.

He added that several restaurants are participating in Customer Appreciate Night as well, so they’re encouraging people to come downtown, do some browsing, take in a meal and enjoy themselves.

The event is a means of promoting what First Avenue has to offer, while giving merchants a chance to thank the community for their patronage throughout the year.

The evening begins at 5 p.m. and continues through to 9 p.m.

Car driver may be charged Two people were sent to hospital after the car they were in slammed into truck Thursday morning in east Maple Ridge.

According to police, around 7:40 a.m., the Nissan Versa failed to yield when making a left turn off the Lougheed highway onto 287 Street and collided with an oncoming semi-trailer, carrying a large bin for recycled wood.

The highway was closed, backing up rush -hour traffic, to allow for an air ambulance to land.

The driver and passenger of the Nissan, both in their 50s, were airlifted to hospital with

driving the truck walked away with no injuries.

Police are consider-

ing a Motor Vehicle Act charge against the driver of the car.

Candidates’ P3 position queried From MAYORAL Page 10

Charter and that if any rules were broken, the provincial ombudsman would step in.

“Every [in-camera] issue has met the requirements,” said Atebe.

Gildersleeve said more information should be gathered for taxpayers before public hearings so that everyone understands the issue. The information is not being shared, he alleged.

The panel was asked whether they would maintain council’s April 4 refusal to enter into a public-private partnership (P3) for a new water system, and what were their personal position on P3s.

Adlem said he would look at every possible alternative and make the best decision for the district while ensuring the plan would be cost-effective for taxpayers. He noted that if Abbotsford votes Saturday to pursue a P3 option, Mission will have to find a way to work with them.

Council made a decision not to get involved in a P3 after “listening to the community,” said Atebe. “I think Abbotsford jumped the gun.

I don’t believe water should be in the hands of the private sector.”

Atebe said he has written to the prime minister requesting the federal government revert to the pre-P3 way of funding infrastructure projects, such as new water systems, on a three-way,

one-third cost sharing basis between all three levels of government.

“My how things have changed,” said Gildersleeve, saying Atebe was one of three members of council who voted to move forward with the P3 discussion.

Even after listening to residents who “vociferously” spoke against a

2

P3 plan, Atebe still voted for it, Gildersleeve continued.

On rebuttal, Atebe said he voted in favour of the recommendation so that the district could get more information about P3s, and that after Abbotsford decided to move ahead with that model, he had a responsibility to re-examine the issue

“for the good of the community.”

Williamson asked whether anyone present would want a privately run, for-profit police force. Some things just don’t work when corporations run them, he stated. Some public services, such as water, should be run by an entity such as a Crown corporation.

P3 water, PSIT, finances and health care facilities top list From TOP Page 10

into an interpretive forest, which would bring tourist and recreational dollars, is one example he provided, along with continuing to fill the Silvercreek industrial park.

Atebe also wants to “continue the relationship between Mission, Fraser Valley hospital district and the Fraser Health Authority to ensure healthcare services are protected and enhanced.”

Seeing the state-of-the-art Campus of Care and Community Health Centre completed near Mission Memorial Hospital would attract more health professionals.

“That’s the heart of the community.”

Mike Gildersleeve Finances topped Gildersleeve’s list as his biggest focus.

The escalation of property taxes and assessments is causing too much hardship for Mission resi-

dents, he said.

“I’m seeing it like the record’s stuck. I’m trying to see if I can work with the community for a freeze on property taxes,” he continued.

Gildersleeve believes excess waste is leading to a worsening of the district’s financial position, citing the Leisure Centre and Gaudin Creek budget overruns, and the high wages at municipal hall as examples.

The environment was Gildersleeve’s number two concern.

“The natural environment is our most precious asset,” he said.

While not against development as a whole, the mayoral hopeful said it’s more a question of how we’re developing areas.

“We’re seeing our own council … putting pressure to fast forward developments.

“We have to find a better balance so that we can maintain a livable community. Sometimes you just have to say, ‘We can’t

develop there.’”

Dan Williamson A former alderman in Langley, the P3 water issue has Williamson most concerned.

“Having a private, for-profit corporation getting a monopoly on a public resource is ridiculous,” he said.

Mission isn’t in dire need of water yet, however it’s a long-term process to build a new water system and the work on that should begin now. Just not with a P3 model.

Secondly, the PSIT situation “just drove me wild,” he said.

Williamson is upset with how the team operated and found it hard to believe he was still in Canada, with people entering private homes and levying fines.

The marijuana grow operation problem needs a fresh look, he said. “Sixty per cent of Canadians think the way we deal with pot is wrong.”

Varsity team moves to next playoff round Mission Secondary School’s varsity football team moved into the next round of the playoffs after walking through Prince George’s Duchess Park 50-24 Saturday afternoon at BC Place.

Jesse Forcier, Brenden Atkinson and Kevin Wiens “led the way with great efforts ... to provide us a balanced attack,” said coach Kevin Watrin.

“Duchess Park came out swinging and had a lot of battle to start the game.”

The Roadrunners went up seven points in the first quarter with a 24-yard touchdown run from Forcier.

The Roadrunners put serious points on the board in the second quarter with a 30-yard touchdown pass from Kevin Wiens to Rhys Perry, a 38yard TD pass to Daniel Orydzuk, a 10-yard run by Forcier, and a 42-yard TD pass to Erik DiGuistini.

Atkinson scampered for 45 yards for a touchdown in the third, with Elijah Grant snatching a 14-yard pass from Tyler McStravick in the fourth.

Defensively, Hyatt Smith tallied one interception and

four tackles; Kristjan Jacobs netted six tackles; Alex McCall had one sack and six tackles.

On special teams, DiGuistini made eight kick-off returns for 291 yards, and Hadley Gwynn had two punt returns for 62 yards and one kickoff return for 23 yards.

The Roadrunners face South Delta Nov. 19 in the quarterfinals held at UBC at 5:30 p.m.

All-stars Mission secondary had 12 players named to the 24-player conference all-star team, including both offensive and defensive MVPs, said Watrin.

“This seems fitting since the 2011 Roadrunners out scored their conference opponents 173 to 13. This is even more remarkable since the eastern conference now has three of eight remaining teams represented in the AA provincial quarterfinals,” he continued.

Following are the all-stars from Mission: Offensive MVP: Jesse Forcier Offensive line : Zack Cham-

berland, Ben Wells, and Tom Clarkson Receivers: Kristjan Jakobs Running back: Brenden Atkinson Quarterback: Kevin Wiens Defensive MVP: Rhys Parry Defensive line: Alex McCall Linebacker: Cam Purdy Defensive back: Hadley Gwyn Defensive back: Erik DiGuistini Junior varsity The junior varsity had a bye this week, but will be playing Handsworth Friday at Burnaby Lakes at 8 p.m.

According to coach John Kapty, “It will be a tough assignment against a good Handsworth team. They are well-coached and have a lot of good athletes. If we are going to advance in the playoffs, we are going to have to earn it.”

Several of the JV players dressed for the varsity game on Saturday, with Grade 9 safety Jesse Walker intercepting a pass, as well as Darius Mavis and Wayde Carpenter each getting two tackles.

Second win for Icebreakers The Mission Icebreakers earned their second win of the season last Saturday, with a 5-3 score over the Port Moody Black Panthers.

Mission’s junior B hockey team went up three goals in the first period, after an initial power play goal by the Black Cats.

Mattias Schmitt, Kenny Prato and Brendin Logan pocketed the goals for the Icebreakers.

The Panthers worked on a comeback with

one goal in the second and another marker at the beginning of the third, but Mission soldiered on with Schmitt scoring his second of the night, and Adam Callegari getting the insurance marker late in the third period.

This win gives the Icebreakers a 2-11 record with six points, putting them at the bottom of the Harold Brittain Conference, tied with the Ridge Meadows Flames.

Doubled up The Mission Niners Atom team has advanced to the second round of the Valley Football playoffs after beating the Chilliwack Red 40-20. The Niners will play Saturday morning in Maple Ridge.

y last column generated a bit of a stir, due to my referencing steelhead with their longest running name, salmo gairdneri, rather than their current name oncorhynchus mykiss.

Originally, steelhead were believed to be of the Atlantic salmon genus because their ability to survive spawning and return up to three times. To the best of my knowl-

Name change caused controversy edge, the name change to oncorhynchus (Pacific salmon) was made by the American Fisheries Society’s Committee on Names of Fish in 1989. This change was not without controversy, which contin-

ues to this day. The greatly revered sport fishing and steelhead authority Trey Combs, had these words to say on name the change.

“My steelhead, salmo gairdneri, a name fixed in Northwest history,

became the incomprehensible and largely unpronounceable oncorhynchus mykiss.”

I greeted this with disbelief and consternation. Pacific salmon died after spawning. The United States

and B.C. managed salmon as a food fish. A steelhead and an Atlantic salmon were closely related in literature. I saw them as cousins. The steelhead, it is a fish of controversy and a fish of legend.

The mystery and the politics that surround this fish are astounding.

The phrase “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” doesn’t apply to Matthew Good.

A defining characteristic of this Canadian rock icon is exactly the opposite of that popular axiom.

Over his almost twodecade career, Good has continually pushed forward into uncharted territories, mapping new musical landscapes.

His newest release, Lights Of Endangered Species, takes Good into the unfamiliar, dis-

playing arrangements that are a distinct departure from the likes of Born Losers and Last Parade.

Stark and passionate best describe his latest effort and despite its differences the record still resonates with his fans.

Matthew Good formed the Canadian alternative rock band of the same name that existed from 1993 to 2002.

It became one of Canada’s most successful rock bands of the ‘90s, nominated for a Juno Award in 1998 for “Best New Group” and winning the award for “Group of the Year” in 2000.

The band dissolved in 2002 but Good pursued a successful solo career

having released, Avalanche (2003), White Light Rock & Roll Review (2004), In a Coma (2005), Hospital Music (2007) and Vancouver (2009).

The internationallyacclaimed Good is especially popular in B.C. Born in Burnaby and growing up in Coquitlam, Good lived in various suburbs of Vancouver throughout his entire life.

In addition to topping the Canadian music charts, Good has a passion for politics and history and in recent years, he made his political views far more public, and has used his website to express his opinions about the Canadian government, the effects of the United States’

foreign policy, world crises and is heavily involved with Amnesty International.

Opening for Matthew Good is Vancouver’s Daniel Wesley, who joins Good on a 37date, cross-Canada tour this fall.

Earlier this year, Wesley completed a successful three-province tour of Canada with KO and Rebel Emergency.

Wesley is promoting his fifth studio album, Easy Livin’ (604 Records/Universal Music).

The first single, Head Outta Water continues to gain momentum on radio stations across Canada while his second single Hello Britain has been on the air waves since Sept. 12.

Wesley first broke onto the music scene

when his song Oooh Ohh became the most requested song of 2007 at 99.3 The Fox in Vancouver.

The infectious rockreggae single from Sing and Dance in 2007 raised the bar of his career and found Wesley playing to sold-out crowds throughout western Canada and touring across Canada with The Trews, Ill Scarlett and Dirty Heads.

Wesley went on to record his third album, Driftin, that same year.

His 2009 self-titled album, featuring the singles It’ll Be You, Pilgrimage and Drunk & Stoned, debuted on both the iTunes Top Selling Album Chart and Rock Charts.

The album, his first for 604 Records, was

produced by fellow musician/producer Dave Genn (54-40, Matthew Good Band) and was the first release where Wesley found himself vacating the producer’s chair.

The album earned him a nomination at the 2011 Verge Music Awards for Emerging Artist of the Year and was accompanied by several music videos including the popular Drunk & Stoned, which received substantial airplay on MuchMoreMusic.

Good and Wesley are playing live at the Clarke Theatre next Friday, Nov. 25.

season and support your local Food Bank and Christmas Bureau by attending Mission Rotary Club’s Annual Christmas Carol Festival at the Clarke Theatre at 7 p.m. Admission is by donation.

Christmas at the Clarke changes to Saturday The 12th Annual Christmas at the Clarke benefit concert moves from its traditional Wednesday to Saturday.

One of the most popular family Christmas events in Mission, Christmas At The Clarke is set to take place Dec. 10 at 7:30 p.m, at the Clarke Foundation Theatre.

Since it began in 2000, the benefit con-

cert has raised well over $100,000 to support two worthwhile community organizations: the Christmas Bureau and the Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley who provide shelters to women and children who are victims of domestic abuse.

“Both the Christmas Bureau and the Women’s Resource Society des-

perately need the funding this event provides to allow them to offer the much needed services they provide to people throughout the valley,” said John Agnew, founder and producer of the benefit concert.

This year, organizers have set their goal at $30,000, and thanks to the support from two new sponsors, Fraser Val-

ley Building Supplies and Prospera Credit Union, they are well on the way.

In terms of the show itself, Agnew says he’s excited about the move to Saturday, and wanted people to know about it as soon as possible so they can plan to attend.

He promises a bit of something for everybody’s tastes. There will old Christmas favourites,

a little country, blues, rock and roll, and jazz from several of the best entertainers and groups in the valley, including 1066, Horizon and Topaz, to name a few.

The concert has been sold out in the past and now that it has moved to Saturday night, tickets should move quickly.

Tickets are $15 for adults, seniors and stu-

dents, and $10 for children 12 and under. Agnew said every cent from the gate goes directly to the two charities.

Tickets are available in Mission at London Drugs, Rex Cox Men’s Wear, Murdoch’s Book Shoppe, and Shoppers Drug Mart.

For more information or for group tickets call the Clarke Foundation Theatre at 604-820-3961.

What’s Happening in Mission

BE SATISFIED WITH THE PAST Given that no one has ever figured out a way to change the past, it is ironic that we spend so much time regretting it.

The only value in thinking about the failures of the past may be as cautionary tales so as to not repeat them. As the philosopher Santayana said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Otherwise, our regrets are quite useless. In fact, they are worse than useless, because dwelling on the negative events from our past has a tendency to make us depressed, resentful, and even bitter. So, if you must dwell on the past (and it isn’t recommended), try to think about the positive events of your past. And, even if there are plenty of bad events in your past, be mindful that those bad events don’t have to determine your future. It is better to think about ways in which we have overcome our past than to think of it as something that absolutely determines our future. In any case, we are better off focusing on where we are going rather than were we have been.

Music at the MAC Saturday The Mission Coffee House Concert Series is presenting a community music event on Saturday, Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. at the Mission Community Activity Centre.

This is a non-profit event and is organized to give local musicians a place to play their music.

The evening is hosted by the band Kitchen Sync which volunteers its time to run the event.

Beginning at 7 p.m. there will be an open stage of many talented local performers. Anyone wishing to perform should contact Liisa Nessim (steppingstonemusic@shaw.ca).

Then at 8 p.m. will be Rhythm and Cello, a live music duo from the lower mainland that blends acoustic guitar, cello and vocals for an upbeat performance that keeps fans coming back for more.

John Welsh and Stephanie Glegg of Los Amigos have branched out to create a unique sound that combines the richness of cello with acoustic rhythms from a variety of genres.

Admission is just $5, an affordable night for the whole family.

Dickens’ classic at All Saints Come enjoy a dramatic reading of Charles Dickens’ Christmas Carol at All Saints Anglican Church Hall on Dec. 3.

The actors will take the audience through this classic story, from Marley’s Ghost to the Ghost of Christmas Future to Scrooge’s reformation from a tightfisted old miser to a man “who knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge.”

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and reading begins at 7. Tickets: $8 Adults, $4 for 16 and under.

Tickets available from the Church Office on James Street.

For more information call Rose Bennett at 604820-8622.

PAY IT

Keep Mission Mission’s needy Forward clean of litter kitties need help People helping people There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm. ~Willa Cather (1873 - 1947)

The Fraser Valley Humane Society is the only shelter dedicated to the care of abused and homeless cats in Mission and is in urgent need of funds to keep its doors open.

It has received more kittens than it can handle this season while adoption numbers are down from the levels of previous years.

Volunteers are currently working on various projects and ideas to generate regular income and to lessen the impact of tough times in the future.

In the meantime the FVHS is in desperate need of donations to continue this essential service, or face closure of the only cat shelter in the district.

As a registered charity, all donations are tax deductible.

Donations over $20 receive a tax receipt in the mail. People donating online will receive an instant tax receipt to print.

For more information visit the FVHS website or contact them at 604820-2977 or by email at fvhumanesociety@ telus.net.

Notice of New Development Cost Charge (DCC) Rates Effective November 29th, 2011 The District of Mission advises that new development cost charge (DCC) rates will come into effect on November 29, 2011.

These new rates will apply to new subdivision and building permit applications received on or after November 29, 2011. Complete applications received before November 29th will be subject to the existing or old DCC rates.

The new DCC rates are the result of a review of future growth projections and growth-related infrastructure requirements (roads, parkland/ park improvements, and water, sewer and drainage systems). DCCs are collected from developers to pay for this infrastructure. A public/developer consultation meeting was previously held on April 5th, 2011, to receive input on the new rates and the related infrastructure requirements.

For further information you can visit the District’s website at www.mission.ca or contact Kris Boland, Deputy Director of Finance, at 604-820-3721 or kboland@mission.ca.

Mission has the exciting opportunity to nominate a MedalBearer who will represent the community and have the honour of carrying the Rick Hansen Medal when the Relay comes to Mission on Wednesday, May 16, 2012.

They will be the Official Medal-Bearer for Mission.

Nominations will be accepted up to Friday Nov. 25, 2011, at 4 p.m.

Nomination forms are available from the Mission Leisure Centre at 7650 Grand Street or can be downloaded from the Parks, Recreation & Culture page on the website: www.mission.ca/leisure.

The form must be completed and returned to the Leisure Centre by the deadline to be considered.

A potential Medal-Bearer should be an individual who is either: • Creating a more inclusive world – by removing physical and social barriers to create more accessible communities.

• Leading and encouraging others to live a healthy and active lifestyle – through sport, injury prevention or involvement in medical research for new innovations.

• Contributing to the protection and sustainability of the environment.

Medal-Bearers must: • Be at least 13 years of age as of Aug. 24, 2011. There is no maximum age limit.

• Have transportation to the assigned meeting point and from the finish of their Relay participation segment.

• Be able to participate unaccompanied in the two to three hour Medal-Bearer experience.

• Wear the Medal-Bearer uniform – created by Nike provided by the Relay team for the duration of the experience.

Each Medal-Bearer will carry the Rick Hansen Medal for approximately 250 metres before

passing it off to the next MedalBearer.

Family and friends are encouraged to be part of the entire experience both at the meeting point and during the Relay segment.

Mission will be celebrating the 25th Anniversary Relay coming through Mission with festivities at the Mission Leisure Centre from 12 – 2 p.m. on May 16.

An online contest also exists for additional Medal-Bearers in Mission.

If there are individuals who you believe exemplify Rick’s values in the community we encourage you to invite them to enter the online contest at www. rickhansenrelay.com where they have a chance to become a Medal-Bearer in the Relay.

It is a simple entry process that allows them to select where they would like to participate and offers a platform for them to share their story of making a difference.

Home fire safety tips for winter The winter season is the worst season for fire in Canada.

That is why all Canadians must be mindful of the importance of fire prevention and safety.

During the winter, we must heat our homes, most of our meals are prepared and eaten indoors, and our clothing is dried indoors as well.

Winter Safety Tips Heating appliances such as space heaters should not have anything combustible close by and need at least 1 meter (3 feet) of space around them. Inspect the electrical

cord attached. If it overheats you have a fire hazard. Keep children away from them.

Electrical and heating systems can fail and become fire hazards. Ensure they are checked regularly by a professional, especially prior to winter season, especially when fireplaces, heaters, and appliances and other electrical equipment are in maximum use.

If even a small doubt exists about any appliance/equipment that you use, do not hesitate to contact a qualified technician.

It may save your life, and the

lives of your loved ones.

Fireplace Safety A fireplace becomes dangerous when accumulated tar or creosote catches fire or from uncontrolled burning or over-fuelling.

Other causes of fireplacerelated fire are substandard design or installation and lack of safety precautions.

• Open the damper before lighting the fire, and keep it open until the ashes are cool enough to touch.

• Ensure the fire is completely out before going to bed or leaving the house.

What is our loss on earth is heaven’s gain. The family would like to express our gratefulness to all the doctors and nurses at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital who cared for Ron during the last month.

Your kindness and compassion for our Dad has not gone unnoticed. A celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, Nov. 20th, 1 - 4 pm at Garden Park Tower, #101-2825 Clearbrook Rd., Abbotsford. Welcome family and friends. In lieu of flowers donations to the burn victims fund would be appreciated.
