Class action lawsuit threatened BC Civil Liberties Association says residents suffered violation of rights BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

A group of Mission residents are threatening a class action lawsuit against the district after they received a $5,200 bill when their homes were searched by the Public Safety Inspection Team (PSIT). BC Civil Liberties Association’s Micheal Vonn led the charge when she appeared as a delegation to

council Monday night. Vonn told council she was concerned about the “numerous and credible” complaints her group has received and concluded residents have “suffered a serious violation of rights.” This fee is more like a fine because it’s only applied to houses suspected of housing marijuana grow operations, she said, adding the large sum is “unbelievable” and not in line with typical inspection fees. “These inspections are administrative procedures,” she accused. “What’s happening is not fair ... and it’s putting innocent people under horrible duress.” Vonn noted there’s insufficient evidence in some cases, a lack of

pprocedural fairness aand no effective revview process. “All tthis, makes Mission rripe for a class acttion lawsuit.” Stacey GowanVonn llock, Trish Banfield, and Len Gratto — who all had their homes searched and were all at the meeting — said they wouldn’t hesitate to join the lawsuit. Gowanlock told The Record he was there when PSIT entered his home. The district inspectors went through his home in 10 minutes and he said the only thing they found was incorrect hot tub wiring. He had the problem fixed and

even paid the $5,200 fee, but he wants it back. The district put a Do Not Occupy order on Banfield’s property, but she is refusing to leave and says her house is safe to inhabit. Gratto is already working with a lawyer and his wife Leona admitted if she knew then what she knows now about PSIT, she would never have let them in her house. “We were all naive until we started talking to other people about it,” she said. “What gives them the right to give me a $5,200 inspection fee for an hour’s work?” asked Len Gratto. The group had other questions

With less than two weeks until Dec. 25, volunteers at the Christmas Bureau are busy putting together hampers and collecting donations. There have been several generous individuals and businesses, said bureau coordinator Phil Hope, but more is needed. “At this point we’re at about 40 per cent of our goal of $85,000,” noted Hope. “Monetary

donations are key to our operation now because the hampers are already being made.” There will be more than 720 families receiving Christmas hampers this year. Approximately 1,000 people rode last weekend’s West Coast Express Santa Train and brought in many toys. A second Santa Train will run this weekend, Dec. 18, leaving at 10 a.m. from Mission City station. Bring a new, unwrapped toy to the station in exchange

for a return ticket on the train to Vancouver. Parking is free at the West Coast Express parking area on the south side of the train tracks. The annual Candlelight Parade and Firemen Ride brought in some helpful donations, but we can’t stop now, encouraged Hope. Bring your donations to the Christmas Bureau office at 32646 Logan Ave. from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday. For more information call 604-814-3333.

New logo West Heights Elementary School recently unveiled its new logo, designed for the school by local artist Johnny Williams. West Heights’ Lyn O’Grady proposed the idea for a First Nations logo, and with the Aboriginal Enhancement Schools Network, generated the funds to hire Williams. The logo depicts a thunderbird with its wings folded over the name of the school, like a blanket over both shoulders encompassing the school with love care and respect. A spindle whorl graces the centre of the design. SUBMITTED PHOTO

they wanted to ask council, but missed their opportunity during the public question period. The crowd had been noisy throughout the night and Acting Mayor Terry Gidda, who was filling in for the vacationing James Atebe, had a hard time keeping order. Vonn didn’t realize the opportunity had passed until council started the public hearing portion of the meeting. She asked council for an opportunity for others to inquire publicly about her presentation, but was told question period had closed. Outbursts from the gallery soon followed and Gidda had to ask

those people to leave and threatened to call police. Outside council chambers, Vonn expressed disbelief that council wouldn’t let “a room full of people address their elected representatives.” “This is the first time I’ve seen something like this,” said Vonn, who has made many presentations to different councils. “Part of what I’m doing is informing council we know people are considering lawsuits and it’s not the way you want to deal with it.” BCCLA has received 10 complaints about Mission’s PSIT program, but for everyone that has launched a complaint, there are many more who haven’t, she ex-

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 921 of the Local Government Act, Council of the District of Mission will, at its regular meeting on Monday, December 20, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the Municipal Hall, 8645 Stave Lake Street, Mission, BC, consider passing a resolution allowing the issuance of a Temporary Use Permit. The purpose of the Temporary Use Permit is to permit a 2,800 square foot temporary modular office building in addition to the existing office complex on the property located at 32915 Mission Way and is shown on the following map:

A new bus added to Mission Public Schools’ fleet has changed some bus pick-up times in the district. An additional route in the east end of the Dewdney/ Deroche area has added more flexibility to the schedule, according to district principal of school operations Stan Weir. The new bus and route has also reduced the number of passengers on certain buses which were close to being overcapacity. Weir says all routes are now Transport Canada compliant and the changes take effect Jan. 4, 2011. Some bused children will now ride a different bus or have altered pick-up times, but the stop points won’t change, he added. For full details see www.mpsd.ca and click on the bus route item.

A new bus added to Mission Public Schools’ fleet is generating some changes in the eastern part of the district. METRO

Further public meetings in new year School district officials have met with both Durieu and Deroche elementary school committees in the past few weeks and the superintendent believed them to be positive encounters. The two schools are being considered for closure after superintendent Frank Dunham put forward a report in November recommending exploring that option. He said at Tuesday’s regular meeting of trustees Copies of the proposed Temporary Use Permit may be inspected at the Municipal Hall Monday to Friday, excluding statutory holidays, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. from December 10, 2010 to December 20, 2010.

Cruising the country slower than most BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

H

e made it, but some days it was close. Mission’s Cody Brownell recently returned from his crosscountry trip on the back of his trusty moped where he worked to raise awareness and funds for aplastic anemia. The 22-year-old bingo caller and Heritage Park secondary grad left May 5 for the trip. His method of travel? A vintage 1979 Moto B-cam 50V moped, tricked out with a rebuilt motor and other go-fast bits all installed with his two hands. These alterations drop the motor’s fuel efficiency (and help it top out at a blistering 60 km/h) but enabled it to survive the approximately 5,700-kilometre, three-month trip. Barely. The machine is in rough shape, Brownell said with a laugh. “It was falling apart by the time I got to Halifax,” he said. A combination of springs, duct tape and zip ties was holding some key pieces together. Once he reached Ontario the front sprocket had sheared off and the electronics had packed it in, along with the speedometer. “First it wouldn’t start, then even if I got it to start, I couldn’t get it to move,” he said. The major breakdown happened in Timmins, Ont., and Brownell was fortunate to have gained the sympathy of the local

Midas Tire manager, who let the Mission man use the shop and tools to fix his moped, then invited him into his home for the week he was in the city of approximately 43,000 people. The kindness was welcomed, Brownell admitted, as he hadn’t bathed in about a week and was just a few hours away from washing up in a nearby creek. “I looked like some kind of homeless guy,” he said. Cruising through B.C. was smooth, Brownell reported, but the weather turned once on the Alberta side of the Rockies. He was pulled over in Coaldale, Alta., but the officer only wanted to know why he was on the highway. And after being snowed on in Medicine Hat, he camped out in Irvine. Saskatchewan was also relatively pleasant, he recounted, “Plus, I randomly met one of the only other moped riders in Regina. “They let me stay at their place and fed me a steak dinner.” His trip is peppered with interesting stories, from nearly being accidentally arrested in Toronto during the G20 riots, to the overall generosity and kindness of strangers. In the end, Brownell was able to raise $1,000 for the rare disease, a condition which nearly killed his mother’s cousin but is not wellunderstood by the medical community.

Mission’s Cody Brownell crossed the country on his moped to raise awareness for aplastic anemia. SUBMITTED PHOTOS

What is aplastic anemia? Aplastic anemia is a condition where bone marrow does not produce sufficient new cells to replenish blood cells. The condition, per its name, involves both aplasia and anemia. Typically, anemia refers to low red blood cell counts, but aplastic anemia patients have lower counts of all three blood cell types: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, termed pancytopenia.

OPINION

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

Limited choices We are getting a pretty glaring example of late as to why news about B.C.’s political parties belongs in the entertainment rather than the news section of a newspaper. With the NDP and Liberals both imploding at the same time, the question right now is who will resurrect themselves, before the next election rolls around May 14, 2013, to earn our vote. Or maybe we shouldn’t care, except the problem is there is no viable third alternative. Neither Carole Taylor nor Dianne Watts want to be Liberal leader. However, the leadership race isn’t just about public opinion, but about who the Liberal rank-and-file members want to support, and Christy Clark may have burned too many bridges there with her abrasive style at times, and by jumping ship to become a radio talk show host in Vancouver. With the exception of Clark, the Liberals are left with existing cabinet ministers to choose from, none of whom have much of a profile because of Premier Gordon Campbell’s style of government. The cabinet operated in Campbell’s shadow. As for the NDP, isn’t it interesting how when Moe Sihota’s name started appearing in the press, Carole James’ tenure as party leader started to deteriorate. When Sihota assumed the presidency of the provincial NDP last year, many party insiders thought that was a big mistake. Like Christy Clark, Sihota is a political animal who has an ego almost as large as his dossier of political experience, and that can be a dangerous combination. How much influence Sihota and the party insiders backing him have had over James would be interesting to know. We deserve better choices. — Kelowna Capital News

Politics, not cancer research C

hristy Clark is the second woman to enter the B.C. Liberal leadership contest. I mention this in case you forgot about Moira Stilwell, the Vancouver radiologist who led the way into the postGordon Campbell era in late November. Stilwell did her own diagnosis on the harmonized sales tax and concurred with mainstream economic theory. It’s efficient and it promotes personal savings as well as business investment. In medicine, if you believe the patient has the right prescription to improve her health, you don’t then look for ways to discontinue that medication as quickly as possible. But that’s the situation we have with our less scientific candidates. Clark didn’t always understand the HST, but she consistently supported it on her radio show before her splashy re-entry into politics last week. So the lone “outsider” becomes the fifth candidate to replace Campbell, after endorsing the tax that led to his sudden retirement. So apparently, the five

are unanimous that the HST is a great idea, and all but Stilwell want to get rid of it as quickly as possible. One after another, the cabinet veterans sought to distance themselves. First George Abbott agreed with Stilwell that the new premier should move up the date of a province-wide referendum from September to June. Prognosis of patient not good, Abbott intoned. Then Kevin Falcon scrubbed in. Get the vote done as soon as posTo sible, and maybe the HST can be revived if we slice a point or two off. Mike de Jong’s outlook was, well, grave. Cutting the rate would be like putting lipstick on the scars. This patient is terminal, so let’s pull the plug as inexpensively as possible. An election-style vote would cost $30 million, but a mailin ballot could be done for less than half of that. By the time Clark arrived,

the HST was a palliative care situation. Her only option for a fresh perspective was to move toward assisted suicide. OK, let’s scrap the referendum, she said. It’s doomed anyway. Let’s go back to the legislature and have a “genuine free vote” where B.C. Liberal MLAs can reverse their earlier votes and throw it out. There are so many things wrong with this idea that it’s hard to know where to start. Mistake, said Abbott. “A real blunder,” said Falcon. De m Jong said if he had to vote on the HST again, he’d support it like he did the first time. (NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston also believes scrapping the referendum now would be dumb, and it’s not often you’ll find him agreeing with Falcon.) Clark’s “genuine” free vote would have to take place before she even has a seat in the legislature. It would divide the B.C. Lib-

eral caucus again, unless her idea of a “genuine” free vote is everyone doing what she tells them to do. This plan would be a disaster. It shows that while Clark spent the last four years getting in touch with families on her radio show, she lost touch with political reality. Which brings us back to Stilwell. When I reached her on the campaign trail, she reaffirmed her support, and vowed again to campaign for the HST. Stilwell said people have earned the right to have a direct say, and she is “perplexed” that Clark would suggest taking that away. Stilwell remains hopeful that other benefits of the HST can still be discussed, giving it a chance for public support. In short, she remains logical and consistent in her approach. It’s no wonder she is given no chance to win. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2010

YOUR VIEWS Hydro question misplaced Editor, The Record: Re: Hydro should not hand out contracts to private businesses, Dec. 9 edition. The letter poses a good question but it is misplaced. The question should be asked of the MLAs and especially those representatives in cabinet. Hydro is a Crown corporation and does the bidding of its political masters. This government policy of placing the contracts with private business is brought to you by the same party and politicians who priva-

tized most of the services at our hospitals and also brought you P3 or PPP hospitals. It is my opinion that privatizing the construction and ownership of new hydro plants is all about making gobs of money for friends of the government. When privatization started years ago, the rate paid to the developer/ owner was much lower but the owners had relatively short contracts and dreamed of the day when their contracts would end so that they could sell electricity at much inflated prices into the very

hot California market. Since the government of California has gone broke, the wholesale prices paid have been much lower. Now the politicians realizing that we need more electrical generation and private business realizing the California market is no longer the pot of gold at the end of the transmission wires have schemed to pay sky high prices today to make it more than worthwhile to build these new plants. The dedicated working stiffs at BC Hydro have already demonstrated

their skill and expertise in building hydro generation projects here in Mission. The new Stave Lake Powerhouse was an in-house project that was built on time and under budget by the dedicated engineers, managers and accounting staff at BC Hydro while at the same time providing continuing benefit to the local community with a great tourist site. And I should mention that the electricity generated there is at a greatly less expensive price than private generation. Tom O’Malley Mission

A financial challenge offered Editor, The Record: This letter isn’t one of my usual hard-nosed rants for which I’m infamous. Instead I’ll speak from the heart for the welfare of companion animals and my admiration for those who care for them in the Fraser Valley Humane Society shelter. At this time of year, there are many worthy groups asking for help with funding. As you’ve heard, the society has been caught in a bind with its finances caused by an oversight which cancelled its charitable tax status. That problem has been fixed and shouldn’t stop anyone from once again giving their financial support to this organization. Actually it’s the animals in their care that need our support and right now as the need is urgent. At this time of year many of us spend money

on things we don’t really need. I’m asking for the animals’ sake that you consider how even a small amount of your seasonal spending that might otherwise be frittered away could do so much good towards keeping the shelter going for now and in the future. For those lucky enough to afford trips to warmer climates, couldn’t you see your way clear to

provide something for those who can’t speak for themselves and must rely on generous people to care for them? My wife dropped off $100 this week to the shelter on North Railway. If you either love or hate my often blunt letters to the paper, I want to challenge all the animal lovers in our community to match that amount even if you’ve already given

in the past. But, in truth, any amount — greater or smaller — will help save the animals from an uncertain future. So please, for the sake of the shelter and those animals in its care, dig a little deeper and put your wallet where your love of animals can do the most good this Christmas season. Robert T.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2010

District seeking increased waste diversion BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Mission has plans to step up its residential composting program and expand facilities. Last week district council agreed to let the environmental department proceed with the initiatives, which include purchasing a 46-litre food waste container for all homes within the curbside collection area. Mission has been collecting compost at the curbside for close to 10 years already, but the program is under utilized, said Jennifer Meier, Mission’s environmental coordinator.

“Anyone could go and get a bin, put an orange sticker on it and use it for food waste.� Meier isn’t sure if residents aren’t using the program because they don’t know about it or due to apathy. Since waste audits continued to show 50 per cent of curbside garbage collected could be composted, Meier embarked on a 10-week pilot project to uncover answers. Eighty homes were randomly selected to participate in the project, which involved two mail-out surveys, collection of baseline data, distribution of green bins and kitchen

catchers with educational material, analysis of all curbside compost materials and data tracking. Analysts spent the first two weeks learning residents’ practices and the rest of the time educating Missionites about composting plus providing them with tools. Only 37 residents returned the first survey, with 22 of them saying they were aware of the district’s composting program, but only nine utilized it. The main reasons people chose not to separate food waste for curbside collection were flies, odours and

attracting wildlife. The second survey, sent out in week seven, found 40 residents were using the green bins provided for food waste, and three had stopped using their backyard composters. A more detailed breakdown of the numbers showed 62 of the 80 households involved in the pilot set out their green bin at least once; 11 put it out for every collection, and nine stopped after one use. Meier noted the curbside program isn’t meant to discourage people from using backyard composters; it’s designed to complement it. For

example, many people don’t put bones, moldy bread or cheese in their composters because it attracts rats, bears and coyotes searching for food. But all these items can be put in the food waste bins. In the end, most recognized the garbage they put out had been reduced and planned to continue separating food waste. This project was successful in proving even with half of the invited participants involved, food waste in that neighbourhood increased sixfold, from 25 kg to 155 kg. “If all households in the

curbside collection area diverted food waste at the rate suggested by the pilot project, at least 957 tonnes of food waste could be kept out of the landfill annually,� states Meier. Diverting as much waste as possible from the landfill will increase the life of the facility and will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Meier hopes to have a new composting facility by May 2011. In addition to separating food waste, the district is also investigating a user pay system when it comes to garbage, with those who generate more landfill waste paying higher fees.

The health authority is ending two mental health contracts and using those funds to create a clubhouse program in Mission. The pair of existing programs, Mission Clubhouse Society’s parttime drop-in and Mission Community Services Society’s Anything is Possible, end March 31, 2011 and Fraser Health Authority has decided not to renew the annual funding and is proceeding with a request for proposals with a new program set to being May 3, 2011. Neither of those were able to offer a full range of supports, said Anthony Neptune, FHA’s manager of rehabilitation and recovery services. Instead, the money from those contracts plus an additional $50,000 is being used to start the new clubhouse. This program offers adults 19 and older with

serious and persistent mental illnesses a place to go where they have access to a range of support and rehabilitation services. Some of these include life skills development, educational programs (such as food safe or first aid training) and working in and around the clubhouse site itself, doing cooking, cleaning, generating a newsletter and choosing outings, said Neptune. The idea was initially met with some resistance from users of the current pair of programs, but once the expanded services were explained, Neptune said the “response has been very positive.” A total of 90 people used the existing programs, which FHA has committed to keeping in place until the clubhouse is up and running. There are 11 other clubhouses run across FHA and Mission is one of the few in the region without the full-time program.

Les said he was surprised that a majority of those surveyed said they were worried about the effect on the economy if the HST is rejected in a referendum and B.C. returns to the old provincial sales tax. “There are so many people saying this [HST] hasn’t got a snowball’s chance anyway,� Les said in an interview Monday. “But frankly I looked at this and I thought there is a fair bit of room for optimism, in terms of people being quite openminded and saying, give me the information, I’m happy to participate in the referendum.� The B.C. government hired the polling firm Harris-Decima, which surveyed 887 B.C. residents between Nov. 16 and 23. More than 80 per cent said they were likely to vote in a referendum, and more than half agreed that brochures or newspaper ads explaining the HST’s impact would be helpful. “We will do what it will reasonably take to get information out to people,� Les said. “We’ll certainly do some mailouts to people as the next few months unfold.� Les, named parliamentary secretary for HST information in November, wouldn’t comment on the debate about the tax and the referendum going on between B.C. Liberal leadership candidates. Candidates Moira Stilwell, George Abbott and Kevin Falcon have supported having the referendum in late June instead of waiting for the scheduled date of next September. Mike de Jong has said the referendum should be held as cheaply and quickly as possible, because the public is likely to reject the HST. De Jong has also argued that the government should scrap the HST information office because people have enough information. Christy Clark launched her leadership bid last week, suggesting the province-wide referendum be scrapped altogether, with MLAs having another vote in the legislature instead. The survey results and information from focus groups is available at www.gov.bc.ca/hst.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2010

Silver Valley conservationist running for the Greens BY PHIL MELNYCHUK Black Press

Along with the NDP, the Greens are gearing up should Canada head to the polls early next year. Peter Tam, newly acclaimed Green candidate, says an election could be triggered if the Conservative government fails a budget confidence vote in February. “That’s why a lot of parties are getting prepared,” he said. Everybody is getting ready because there’s big speculation that the minute the budget is released, the minority government could fall, he added. Tam, a member of the Silver Valley Neighbourhood Association in Maple Ridge, was acclaimed last month by the Green Party of Canada to run in Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission. He unsuccessfully ran for a seat on Maple Ridge council in the 2008 municipal election. It took him a few months to decide whether to enter the federal

Help SAINTS win cash An animal welfare group is in the running for $25,000 in a national contest hosted by Pepsi Canada. In the Refresh Everything competition, SAINTS is in top spot in the $25,000 category out of 266 ideas. Online voting is the only way to vote and SAINTS is asking for Mission’s help to win. Pepsi, in the last month, has promoted through TV commercials, the contest in which there are four amounts you can win: $100,000 , $25,000, $10,000, or $5,000. It is all done digitally and the winner is chosen by the public. SAINTS is located in just off Stave Lake Road on Dlugosh Avenue, and once you’ve registered you can log back in each day and vote again. The contest ends Dec 31. For more information visit www.refresheverything.ca/index, www. saintsrescue.ca or www. refresheverything.ca/ saints.

arena and run for a party because sometimes the party line doesn’t fit with the community’s interests. “So it was a tough decision because of that.” But Green party issues dovetail with many local issues, such as transpor-

tation and ecologically minded development and it’s the only party that promotes the same values globally. Anything that happens around the world, always affects people locally, he added. “I decided to go with the Greens because it’s

linked more globally.” Constituency assistant Mark Strahl said Conservative MP Randy Kamp was confirmed last year as Conservative candidate for the next election after local members were consulted on whether they wanted a candidate

nomination process. He said while there’s always the potential for a government to fall during election time, it doesn’t necessarily mean that will happen. All three opposition parties, Liberal, NDP and Bloc Quebecois would have

to agree before that happened. The present composition of the House of Commons has 141 Conservatives, 76 Liberals, 47 Bloc and 36 NDP members with two independents and six seats vacant.

For it’s fourth year running, Opening Nite Theatre Society, Mission’s own community theatre, is proud to present this year’s Christmas pantomime, Hercules. If you aren’t familiar with the term pantomime, don’t worry, you are not alone, and no, it doesn’t have those odd clowns that can’t speak. A pantomime is a British theatre tradition held during the holiday season; they are kid-friendly but far from kid-exclusive as people of all ages are sure to get a thrill from this ridiculous foray into the impossible. Written and directed by Opening Nite’s talented Camille Knight, Hercules the Panto tells the tale of, you guessed it, Hercules and his friends, Perseus and Princess Ambrosia, as they struggle to thwart the dastardly plans of the evil Medusa who is being backed by the equally evil, though not as ugly, Fairy Naughty. Hercules’ first attempt to stop the snake-headed villain meets with disastrous results and provokes Hercules into isolation on the Island of Myth-fits, where he finds a three-eyed Cyclops, a backwards centaur and an Oracle who smells the future. With the world’s population being turned to stone by the enterprising Fairy Naughty and Medusa at an alarming rate, Fairy Nice arrives and convinces Perseus and Princess Ambrosia they must find Hercules in order to save the world. The show features a wide assortment of crazy characters played by a high number of talented actors.

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2010

A free What’s Happening concert in Mission

THE GOODNESS OF GOD God’s goodness to each of us is demonstrated through the many blessings that we receive from Him each day. Unfortunately, we may not always be aware of His goodness because we are too involved with all the concerns and the activities of the day. However, an unexpected meeting of a neighbor or friend, a telephone call from a loved one, or a warm compliment from another, are all little gifts that reflect how much our Heavenly Father loves us. Our physical and mental health, as well as our spiritual well-being, can all be attributed to God’s goodness. And God’s way of reminding us of how much we need Him. God cares for us, and being mindful of His goodness helps to strengthen us, especially when we are faced with the more difficult conditions in our lives. And, when we are faced with hard times, God’s never-ending love will help us grow and draw closer to Him. Being a positive person and seeing God’s goodness in our lives is a blessing, and He asks nothing in return, except our love, faith and trust in Him. The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

McIntosh earns right to fight Another Mission City Boxing Club competitor has earned the right to fight in the upcoming 2011 Canada Winter Games, held in Halifax this February. Two-time provincial champion Sean McIntosh battled and bruised Prince George’s Bruce Wahl late last month in a fight hosted by the local club. In the first round, McIntosh landed a clean left hook, which dropped Wahl and resulted in the referee giving him an eight count. McIntosh was able to land quite a few combinations, which gave him a lead of six to one, heading into the second round. “We then told Sean to use his height and keep on the outside using his long jab. Because Bruce is shorter, he had to take chances to get on the inside, which Sean was able to capitalize on,” said coach Dale Gatin. At the end of the second McIntosh had racked the score to 16-7 in his favour. In the third round, the coaches advised McIntosh to try and stay in the centre of the ring and be cautious due to Wahl’s wild punches that were aimed to knock out the Mission boxer. McIntosh was able to make him miss and threw some nice combination punches. With 30 seconds left in the fight, he staggered Wahl and the referee gave out another eight count. McIntosh won a unanimous decision with a final score of 25-17. The crowd, which cheered McIntosh throughout the fight, roared approval when he was declared the winner. All together, Mission City Boxing is sending three athletes to the Canada Winter Games. For more information www.missionboxing.com.

Great year, tough last game great season.” MSS’ game against Windsor stands out in his mind, especially since he shook off a poor performance from the game previous and made six catches for 90 yards and one touchdown. Also a conference all-star, Baldo plans to try out for the Okanagan Suns when training camp opens in May.

BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

Despite placing second in the provincial standings and getting to the semi-finals in last month’s Subway Bowl — a feat most of the other teams in the AA varsity football league would be pleased to have accomplished — Mission’s gridiron warriors are still smarting from the loss. The Mission Secondary School Roadrunners played a tough, disciplined season and all the hard work paid off when they earned the right to battle the John Barsby Bulldogs the last weekend of November. A series of outof-character mistakes led the Roadrunners to a 28-0 loss to the Nanaimo team, ending their hopes for a provincial championship. A few weeks later, The Record sat down with six members of the varsity squad, all of whom earned conference all-star nods, to get their thoughts on the season and plans for the future. Tanner Pearce Pearce has been helming the offense for the Roadrunners all year, with his arm passing for 1,433 yards and 19 touchdowns, including 419 yards running with three touchdowns. He was named the AA player of the year, a conference all-star and MSS’ varsity most valuable player.

And for the verbally reserved QB, the season was summed up quickly: “It’s sad knowing it was coming to an end.” The Grade 12 player is aiming to play university football at either SFU or an American university; he still hasn’t chosen which. But looking back over the season, Pearce said he’s still proud of what they’ve accomplished and, like some of the

others The Record spoke to, remembers vividly the double-overtime victory against Seaquam where they battled through frigid, slippery conditions in the lone snowy game of the year. Eric Baldo “I felt like we didn’t accomplish our goal,” said the receiver/defensive end. “But we can’t be sad, we made it to the semis and it made for a

Tom Clarkson The Grade 11 offensive and defensive lineman was also pleased with the effort the team put in, but admitted to being let down at the end. “We just couldn’t finish,” he said about the game against Barsby. “We made so many mistakes.” With one more year of high school ball to go, Clarkson’s goal over summer is to spend as much time as possible training, getting bigger, faster and stronger. Zack Chamberland MSS’ outstanding defensive player of the year was pretty blunt about the season’s end. “I feel happy to have made it so far, but I feel ripped off. We worked so hard but I’m still proud of my team,” said the Grade 11 linebacker and offensive lineman. Chamberland also plans to spend the summer training to make himself faster and stronger for the 2011 season. “Lots of sprinting” and footwork drills are the goals, he stated.

Ajay Singh This was Singh’s last year of high school and science and football are in his future as his education path takes him to UBC. “I was pretty disappointed. I felt we could have won. We should have made it,” he shared. The offensive and defensive lineman’s best memory of the season was a pre-season game in San Diego where the Roadrunners teed off against St. Margaret’s as a highlight of the week-long trip. Arshi Dhaliwal Without the daily practices, the days just feel 12 hours longer, said Dhaliwal, who is planning to play football at a post secondary institution somewhere in Canada next year, while working on his foot speed. The MSS outstanding defensive lineman of the year said the game against Handsworth stood out most in his mind. We were losing three at the half after they scored a lucky field goal, he said. “We knew we had them. We knew they couldn’t score.” The team had watched so much film leading up to the game that the Roadrunners could predict as they squads lined up where the offense was going to put the ball. “We were just bigger, faster and in better shape,” he said.

Top MSS players recognized at annual banquet Mission Secondary School’s top football players were honoured Monday night at the annual awards banquet. Following are the winners for 2010:

Arshi Dhaliwal (V), Charlie Klassen (JV) and Liam Wiseman (8).

Eric DiGuistini and Colton Lohr (V), Nicholase Jacobse (JV) and Bicky Gill (8).

Pulls for a Great Cause

Information on PSIT program In May of 2006, the province amended the Safety Standards Act to allow local governments to request electrical consumption information from BC Hydro. Excessive hydro consumption is often an indicator of a serious safety hazard. Only properties that exceed a specific threshold of hydro use are reviewed. The information can then be used by municipalities to proactively deal with potential risks identified through the inspection process. This is the foundation upon which a municipal public safety inspection team (PSIT) in Mission operates. It should be noted that there are a number of municipalities with a PSIT. The District of Mission adopted a Controlled Substance Property Bylaw which sets out the framework under which its public safety inspection team operates. The PSIT team consists of a fire inspector, building

inspector and electrician, and is supported by two office staff. Once the hydro consumption data has been obtained properties with potential electrical safety concerns are identified. Research of municipal and provincial records is conducted to ascertain any legitimate explanation for the excessive hydro use. If no information is found which would account for the high consumption, the registered owner, and tenant where applicable, are contacted by PSIT and a public safety inspection is scheduled. During the inspection, any electrical system deficiencies are noted as well as any contravention of the Building Code, Fire Services Act or other applicable legislation related to the health, safety and protection of persons or property. Where the inspectors determine that a property is in contravention

of the Controlled Substance Property bylaw, an inspection fee of $4,900 plus an administration fee of $300 is charged. Inspectors also have the discretion in serious cases to place a “Do Not Occupy� order on the property which prohibits persons from occupying the dwelling. Inspectors may also request that BC Hydro disconnect power to the property where, in the inspectors’ opinion, an imminent fire or safety hazard exists. The owner will be required to remediate any deficiencies noted as a result of the inspection and to call for a final inspection to show that the required work has been completed and that the property has been fully remediated. By charging these inspection fees, the program is able to run without funding from municipal taxation. The inspection fees collected See QUESTIONS Page 28

Mission Restorative Resolutions Now Recruiting Volunteers!!! At this time of year we are often reminded of the fundamental values we all hold dear such as harmony, connection, mattering, belonging, giving, and sharing. Also at this time of year, Restorative Resolutions recruits volunteers to serve our community in ways that foster those very same values. Delivered once a year, our extensive training prepares new volunteers to safely and ethically facilitate restorative responses to incidents of harm, crime or conflict. The gift that keeps on giving? We explore the essence of human relationships through the lens of restorative justice values, principles and practices. We foster harmony and safety throughout the year by seeking to repair harm and restore relationships. According to our Volunteers, the training and service to our community is a highly rewarding and deeply meaningful experience, one that benefits personal and professional relationships. The cost? Just your time, energy and caring. Considering a Volunteer Position to “Give Back” to Your Community? As a volunteer you will be contributing your time, skills and life-experience to peacemaking by assisting others to find positive solutions to incidents of harm, crime or conflict in a safe, time-tested and confidential setting. The Joy Mission Restorative Resolutions is a volunteer based service made up of remarkable people dedicated to a safe and connected community. Being among them is a rich and joyful experience. The Commitment • Attending & fully participating in the 13 week training program (3 hrs/wk on Tuesday evenings & 6 weekend dates); followed by evening training sessions, once a month for a period of two years. • Facilitating MRR referrals (once trained), over a period of two years (approximately 4 -16 hours a month). If this sounds like that special gift you’ve been looking for, we’d love to hear from you! More information and application packages can be obtained from the Municipal Hall at 8645 Stave Lake Street, by calling 604-820-3755, on-line at www.mission.ca/mrr , or by email mrr@mission.ca

are used to fund the program and are not used as a revenue source for the district. The district’s fees are similar in amount to a number of other municipalities. Question: Is this program only in Mission? Answer: No, similar programs are being run in Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Surrey, and many other municipalities Q: Under what circumstances does the PSIT enter a private residence? A: A notice is posted on the property informing the occupant an inspection of the property is requested and the team will be returning to the property in 24 hours. The team generally enters a private residence by two methods. Firstly, upon the team’s return 24 hours after the notice has been posted they enter only if the occupant agrees to allow entry. If entry is denied, the team leaves the property. Secondly, the team may then apply to a Justice of the Peace for an entry warrant to enter the property. If the warrant is not granted, no further action is taken with respect to the property.

PAY IT

District of Mission Council wishes to invite the public to attend open meetings and regular meetings of Council. The following meetings are scheduled for the weeks of December 16, 2010 to December 30, 2010.

If a warrant is approved, the team would enter the premises as authorized by the terms of the entry warrant. Q: Why does the RCMP attend the property with PSIT? A: It has been well established that some of these instances of abnormal hydro consumption involve criminal enterprise. The RCMP is lawfully present at these inspections for the sole purpose of ensuring the safety of the inspection team. The RCMP presence is fully aligned with direction articulated by the Supreme Court. Q: Why does a marked, versus unmarked, RCMP vehicle and a uniformed officer locate near the property? A: The presence of the RCMP is for the sole purpose of ensuring the safety of the inspection team. Should the RCMP find it necessary to intervene for public safety reasons and enter onto the property to ensure the safety of the municipal inspection team, it is vitally important that the intervening officer be readily identifiable as a police officer acting in accordance with their lawful authority. Q: Are the fees charged just another

drip

method to increase municipal revenues? A: The fees charged represent a cost recovery for the PSIT operation. The program is selfsustaining and does not operate at a cost to the taxpayer or generate general revenue to the municipality. Q: Does PSIT attend residences other than reviewing hydro data for the residence? A: Yes, the PSIT attend properties at the request of the RCMP where a police-led entry of a private residence has occurred. In that case the homeowner may also be levied the fee under the Controlled Substance Property Bylaw if contraventions are found. In these instances PSIT is responding to potential observed Health and Safety concerns identified by the RCMP. Q: How many properties of those entered by the PSIT end up levied a fee under the Controlled Substance Property Bylaw? A: Since the program’s inception in 2008, 350 properties have been entered and inspected, 170 of which have been levied a fee under the bylaw for contravention of the bylaw. Q: Is the program currently being reviewed? A: There is no current general review being done of the program general format. The district is always reviewing any program with regard to general program efficiencies and is always open to suggestions on how any municipal program could be improved. Q: What is the role of the landlord/ homeowner in the process? A: The landlord/ homeowner is responsible for the condition and safety of all buildings on

a property and is ultimately responsible to address observed health and safety concerns. Q: What is the process to appeal a decision to place a fee for a property? A: A homeowner or representative can meet with the PSIT senior manager to appeal a fee. Failing that, a homeowner can apply for relief through the court system to appeal. Q: Why does the municipality consider placing a Community Charter Section 57 on property titles after a bylaw contravention where remediation of the property has not occurred? A: The Section 57 Notice is authorized under the Community Charter. If granted, it is placed on a property’s title to make potential purchasers and other third parties aware that a contravention of the Controlled Substance Property Bylaw (or other bylaw) has occurred resulting in a safety issue and remediation has not taken place; or permits that were required haven’t been obtained. The purpose of this notice is to ensure public safety by clearly identifying outstanding health and safety issues to future owners. Q: Can a Section 57 Notice on title be removed? A: Yes. Once remediation has occurred and the property has been inspected by the municipality, the municipality will remove the notice on title. There is no additional cost to the homeowner to register the Section 57 notice on title or to have it removed, and it will be removed at the request of the district once remediation has occurred or the building has been demolished.

Buy a tree, help fight polio with Rotary Clubs 34,500 vaccinations. Trees were originally being sold through word of mouth and at community events, however, Fraser Valley Building Supplies volunteered to display and sell the trees throughout the Christmas season. Thanks to this support sales are off to a good start. “One problem we have encountered is that not everyone has a home for a tree that will eventually grow to more than 150 feet tall. That’s where Mike Younie and the District of Mission have stepped in,” explained Dirk Weymann, Rotary Mid-day Club president. The municipality has offered to accept returned trees after Christmas and plant them in public green spaces where they will be able grow to maturity. In addition to helping stop a horrible disease, Mission will end up with some beautiful pocket forests.

The Rotary Clubs of Mission have enlisted the assistance of District of Mission’s environmental manager Mike Younie to give a local twist in Rotary’s drive for the worldwide eradication of polio. The two clubs have joined together to sell live Christmas trees. All of the funding paid for the trees will be contributed to Rotary International’s “End Polio Now” campaign. “The exciting part of this fundraiser is that not only does every cent paid for the trees go to fight polio but the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will match that funding dollar for dollar. This means that the sale of a single tree will pay for 230 children to be vaccinated,” stated Elspeth Bowers, president of the Rotary AM Club. The clubs hope to sell 150 trees which will provide enough funding for
