Christmas is...

Christmas is choosing the perfect tree.

Decorating our tree is Christmas.

Christmas makes me cold, when wind blows in my face!

And Christmas is feeding my dogs the treats they get in their stockings.

EXCITEMENT!!! is the feeling I get on Christmas day!

It·s reading Christmas books and acting like Elfs.

It·s jumping up and down while waiting for my family to finish dinner!!!!!

It·s walking around

my block and trying to hear Santa in the distance.

It·s seeing shimmering Christmas trees and smiling families in the windows.

Singing Christmas carols and baking cookies are Christmas.

Christmas is a symbol of the birth of Jesus.

Ice skating and trying not to fall, making snow men, Snow angels and snow forts...

These are Christmas.

Christmas is calling my friends and chatting all day. Christmas is catching snowflakes

on my tongue.

Christmas brings JOY and PEACE. Misha, Grade 3, West Heights Snow so crisp Snow so fluffy Snowflakes so cold as it spins so delicately and drops on your little nose With a scarf around your little neck you feel so warm, and happy in your heart, as Jack Frost leaves a little frosty present on little leaves and windows.

Mission, Abby men found guilty of fraud

BY VIKKI HOPES Black Press

Two local men have been found guilty of fraud in relation to a scheme in which they falsely claimed $23 million in GST funds.

Manjit Khangura of Abbotsford was convicted of three counts of fraud over $5,000, while Mission’s Sikander Bath was found guilty of six counts last week in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster.

Each went to trial on 20 counts of fraud and two counts of laundering the proceeds of crime.

They are scheduled to be sentenced in February.

A third man, Paramjit Gill, previously pleaded guilty to three fraud charges and testified for the Crown in exchange for a sentence of two years less a day.

The Crown alleged Khangura and Bath created 20 false companies purporting to export lumber, shake and shingle products between 1994 and 1997, and fraudulently claimed and received GST funds of between $400,000 and almost $2.4 million.

Justice Heather Holmes ruled that 13 of those companies were proved by the Crown to be shams, while there was not enough proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the other seven were also false.

The indictment companies operated under names such as Blue River Shake Ltd., Meadow Forest Products Ltd., and Terminal Shake Ltd. The Crown had also alleged funds transferred to a particular bank account were proceeds of the fraud, but Holmes ruled the money-laundering charges were not proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

Council requests SOTF report

BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

Council is making good on their election campaign promise to bring forward the stalled Sturgeons on the Fraser project that would place a floating restaurant and marina at the foot of Horne Street.

More commonly referred to as “McBarge” for its use as a McDonalds restaurant during Expo 86, the development application was first presented to the previous council Sept.

7, 2010 by Howard Meakin, but was held up after passing first and second reading pending acquisition of adjacent land for parking, deemed essential by the planning department.

The proposal, estimated at $10 million, would renovate and anchor the McBarge on the riverfront to create a seafood restaurant, pub, cafe, and offices for fishing and eco-tour operators, as well as potentially linking float plane transportation to other waterfront communities.

“We fairly clearly stated during the election we would be bringing the Meakin proposal to public hearing,” said Mayor Ted Adlem Mon-

But former Coun.

Mike Scudder asked in question period whether there was any “new and substantial” information that would allow council reconsideration — a technical term under the procedure bylaws of the

district — of a project that previous council had already concluded could not proceed.

Adlem said there was not any new information, but that as a newly elected council they are perfectly within their rights to revisit old business.

The question still remains, however, whether Meakin will receive approval of the project without the land for parking.

Variance gets green light in Cedar Valley

Mission’s Matt Robic was the co-pilot of the plane that crashed in October in Richmond.

He spent three weeks after the accident in hospital in the burn unit. A recently held fundraiser with Robic’s family and friends collected nearly $8,500 for the burn unit at Vancouver General Hospital.

BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

Council has approved a site-specific exemption to floodplain bylaws for a proposed home in Cedar Valley, despite neighbours’ opposition.

The variance was requested by John Pearson, who sold 0.79 acres of his property at 32876 Tunbridge Ave. to the district for $400,000 in August for the purposes of the Gaudin Creek realignment plan.

The former Mission councillor explained to council Monday evening that he required a new floodplain setback from the proposed creek of six metres from the mandated 15 under the floodplain management bylaw, and flood construction level above the natural ground elevation of 0.6 metres, instead of 1.5.

Because the home is within 15 metres of a watercourse it triggered a review from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) in August, but received approval that “no harmful alteration, disruption or destruction of fish habitat will occur.”

But a “malicious” newsletter condemning the proposal was reportedly sent to 300 people in the neighbourhood, said Pearson, adding he has complied with every government requirement.

During question period, two of the development opponents questioned council, criticizing the single-family development when the official community plan (OCP) has designated future development in Gaudin Creek for multifamily townhomes.

“This single-family home will stick out like a sore thumb,” said Diane McCulloch, a nearby homeowner.

But council was unmoved by the arguments, since the zoning bylaws allow for singlefamily homes and there aren’t any townhome development proposals before council.

“This is the NIMBY (not in my backyard) syndrome,” said Coun. Jeff Jewell.

“I do understand there’s a great deal of public opposition to this, rightly or wrongly,” said Coun. Nelson Tilbury. But what we’re left with is a proposal that meets OCP and DFO approval, he said.

The $400,000 for Pearson’s land was taken from DCC reserves for Cedar Valley Drainage as allocated in the 2011 budget and incorporated into the long-term capital plan for the Gaudin Creek realignment plan, set for 2014.

$416K more approved The ballooning costs for the Cedar Street/ Gaudin Creek project were presented to council Monday, with an additional $416,805 approved with an internal loan.

This is a follow-up to a Nov. 21 report before council that indicated the Cedar Street widening project was experiencing significant cost overruns, going from $8,000 on Nov. 10 to $435,000 a week later.

This brings the total project cost to $5.34 million from an original budget of $4.92 million.

The General Capital Reserve is projected to have a balance of $580,000 by year’s end, which doesn’t affect planned capital projects but will hinder any additional projects, read the report.

The cost overruns initially occurred without the knowledge of administration or council, leading to an internal review of project management.

A lifetime of healthy smiles begin here...

Fundraiser nets $8,400

BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

Family and friends of Matt Robic, who died recently in Vancouver General Hospital, have raised $8,469.97 in a Dec. 3 burger and brew fundraiser.

The proceeds will be donated to the hospital’s burn unit, which treated Robic for burns to 80 per cent of his body following an Oct. 27 plane crash in Richmond.

Robic, 26, the co-pilot during the flight, died three weeks after that crash, which also claimed the life of 44-year-old North Vancouver pilot Luc Fortin.

Originally, the fundraiser was intended to go towards his rehabilitation, but after he died the family decided to donate the money on his behalf to the

unit, which will commemorate Robic with a plaque.

“On behalf of the friends and family of Matt Robic, thank you to all who helped to make this fundraiser a big success,” said Joanne Redfearn, the mother of Robic’s partner.

A special thanks goes to donating businesses and the owners and staff of the 14th Avenue Pub where the fundraiser took place, she added.

Robic had moved to Burnaby recently with his partner of four years, Natalie, to fly with Northern Thunderbird Air, based out of Prince George.

Redfearn said Robic had been a pilot for about five and a half years, previously working as a flight instructor in such places as Windsor, Ont. and Fiji in the South Pacific, before landing a job closer to home.

OPINION

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

Focus on problem As the Conservative government uses its majority powers to effectively silence debate on the Safe Streets and Communities Act, the growing call for measures that would actually make our streets safer continues to fall on deaf ears in Ottawa.

Recently, five Vancouver mayors past and present joined the chorus — one that includes police chiefs, economists and politicians of all political stripes — to overturn Canada’s marijuana prohibition.

“Marijuana prohibition is — without question — a failed policy. It is creating violent, gang-related crime in our communities and fear among our citizens, and adding financial costs for all levels of government at a time when we can least afford them,” stated a letter from former Vancouver mayors Larry Campbell, Michael Harcourt, Sam Sullivan and Phillip Owen. Current Mayor Gregor Robinson has since added his voice to the cause.

And the cause is nothing new. Back in 1991, Nobel Prize-winning conservative economist Milton Friedman noted: “If you look at the drug war from a purely economic point of view, the role of the government is to protect the drug cartel.”

Canada’s drug kingpins are no doubt relieved that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is in no hurry to end that protection. He was quick to rule out any consideration of changing the government’s stance on marijuana — despite polling that shows the vast majority of Canadians disagree.

The government can fill the countryside with bigger and better prisons, but until the Conservatives begin to focus on the problem instead of ideology, the criminals will only get richer.

Premier Clark on her political year

I

recently sat down with Premier Christy Clark for a year-end interview to talk about her eventful first year back in politics.

Here are excerpts from that discussion: Tom Fletcher: People in general are a bit cynical about the treaty process.

You could say that about Sophie Pierre [former Ktunaxa chief and chair of the independent B.C. Treaty Commission]. In her report this year she talked about the mounting debt from 20 years of negotiations and basically gave an ultimatum to fix it or shut it down.

Do you see the commission continuing as it is, or do you see some changes ahead?

Premier Christy Clark: We’re not planning any significant changes to it. We are starting to see, just now, the fruits of all the work from the ministry and from the government and from the treaty commission. And that’s all starting to move pretty quickly. The Taku River Tlinglit economic agreement [mining develop-

ment and protected areas in the Atlin area], there are a number of these agreements that are starting to flow out, and it’s been a long, slow, frustrating process. So now is the wrong time to walk away from the process, because there’s been 20 years of work invested in this, and we’re finally starting to see the fruits of it.

about their reliance on carbon as a source of energy. I don’t want to overstate that, though. The thing about the carbon tax is that it’s hard to know how much difference it’s made. But I think anecdotally we see that it has made some difference.

We are in the process now of consulting with both the job creator community and citizens about where they’d like us to go next with the carbon tax. We have to keep in mind that the economy is fragile. But we want to remain a leader on the environment, which where we are right now in North America.

New to Mission

A viable alternative was presented Editor, The Record: As a keen council watcher for years, the attitude espoused that incumbent councillors get re-elected because the public feel they are doing a good job is folly, at best.

Each candidate, particularly incumbents, have a certain blind following of voters who vote for them, unless there is some major failing by the individual. The other compounding factor that can change outcomes is to dramatically increase voter turnouts.

A slight departure is the mayor, who is more vulnerable insofar as he/she is front and centre and most often quoted. The compounding factor is tenure and after the second term in office, many incumbents often becomes complacent or often pseudo dictatorial.

Mission was a prime example of a mayor needing to go and the public spoke, but even so, James Atebe garnered 2,465 votes.

Simply, unless there is a viable alternative, the incumbent have the greatest chance of re-election.

A negative compounding factor is

suddenly each election, either some perennial candidate or often a bunch of newcomers, who, with respect, have nearly no chance of being elected; but we must respect their willingness to serve. This last election found 25 candidates here, but the difference was a viable alternative presented itself and the sweep by the CRMG slate is evidence of a well-structured campaign by politically savvy strategists.

Thus, the signal is for a group of like-minded candidates to band resources, form a Mission First slate (like Surrey First, Mayor Dianne Watts has done) and start to campaign for the 2014 election; become a household name, attend council meetings, write letters to editors, pursue some causes and issues, and only then do you stand a chance of election and/or to replace incumbents.

Mission showed the way but it will take some introspection, political savvy and a genuine effort to get organized into a political force. A bar too low will find new council on a steep learning curve,

recognizing considerable material to read and a need to hit the ground running. The challenge to bring a divided community together as an inclusive age-friendly community should be met by non-partisan politics, responding impartially to all residents needs, by priority. Thus, reported statements by Mayor Adlem, holding forth a local MLA as a “hero” will not bode well for a slate of independent thinkers trying to establish an inclusive community. A “shadow council” of aspiring candidates will keep politicians feet to the fire and in the end, the next election is for CRMG to lose.

Augmenting the CRMG slate approach was a number of other focused efforts by segments of society, that all in all contributed to a five per cent (1,628 votes) increase in voter turnout and a significant switch in voting patterns, in part, notably seniors, who together amassed sufficient numbers to turf out incumbents.

Vegetarian diet promotes more efficient use of our resources Editor, The Record: Re: Seniors Corner: Incorporating more veggies into your diet is beneficial, Dec. 16, edition.

I totally agree with Dr. Rainda’s point of view. My family and many of my friends are vegan and we are very healthy. Just as the famous vegetarian Dr. J. H. Kellogg said, “When we eat vegetarian food, we don’t have to worry about what kind of disease the food died of.

This makes a joyful meal.”

Changing to a vegan diet is a wise way of living, not only for health but also for many other benefits.

For ecology: The use of land, water, energy, and human effort to produce meat is not an efficient

way to use the earth’s resources.

It leads to rain forest destruction, global warming, water pollution, water scarcity, desertification, misuse of energy resource, and world hunger.

For economy: The world’s resources are enough to support the population of the entire planet if more people are vegetarians. More than one-third of the world’s grain harvest is diverted from feeding people to feeding livestock. If we feed people instead of livestock, no one would go hungry.

The world’s resources would be more efficiently utilized if the land used for livestock production were converted to raising crops to feed people.

For compassion, peace, and nobility: The world belongs to all living beings, including animals.

If we love and protect their lives by not killing and not eating their meat, then compassion will grow in our hearts. This in turn will lead to peaceful relationships between people, there will be fewer killing or wars, and our lives will be nobler and happier. Leo Tolstoy said, “As long as there are slaughterhouses there will be battlefields.

A vegetarian diet is the acid test of humanitarianism.”

So, for the sake of health and peace on Earth, let’s adopt a vegetarian diet.

Sto:lo signs agreement with health authority Aboriginal health outcomes are expected to improve as a result of a partnership reached this week — the first of its kind in British Columbia.

“This agreement signals an important change, and the way ahead for how health services will be delivered to First Nations, not only in the Fraser Health Region but throughout B.C.,” Sto:lo Tribal Council Grand Chief Doug Kelly said.

The partnership was signed by FHA officials and the Fraser Salish Regional Caucus representing the Sto:lo Tribal Council, the Sto:lo Nation and independent Salish communities.

The caucus has representatives on the First Nation Health Council, a provincial body tasked with creating a First Nations Health Authority — the first of its kind in Canada — in collaboration with federal and provincial partners.

A key commitment of the accord is creation of an Aboriginal Health Steering Committee to set aboriginal health priorities, policies, budgets and services in the Fraser region.

The accord calls for improvements in service delivery through more collaboration between FHA officials and First

Nations Health Centres to work with community health leaders on “more culturally appropriate health strategies.”

“Our approach to health and wellbeing is, more than anything, community-based,” Chief Willie Charlie, who represents the independent Fraser Salish communities, said in the news release.

“First Nations and aboriginal peoples have a good understanding of their health challenges and goals, and this partnership with Fraser Health will help us reach those goals sooner,” he said.

Chief Maureen Chapman, Sto:lo Nation Chiefs Council representative said “there is no doubt that we can see change in First Nations health outcomes in this region” as a result of the partnership that will “specify initiatives and milestones” of aboriginal communities.

There are 32 aboriginal communities in the region with varying needs and capability of engaging with the Fraser Health Authority.

The accord specifies that no community should be forced into region-wide health strategies, but that no community should left behind.

Cherry Hill store robbed at gunpoint by two males Two men who robbed Cherry Hill store at gunpoint Sunday are being sought by Mission RCMP. Just before 10 p.m.

Dec. 18, one male entered the store and allegedly brandished a gun and demanded cash. The second man stood outside as a lookout, say police.

The suspects fled on foot, said Cpl. Sharon Siluch, with an undisclosed amount of cash.

The first male is described as having a medium build, wearing a black hoodie, grey sweat pants and white runners.

The only descriptor for the other suspect is that he was also wearing a

Vacant homes burgled A series of vacant home break-ins have kept Mission police busy.

RCMP are finding doors pried open at a number of urban and rural homes in Mission, and the Lower Mainland District Forensic Identification Section is working with local police.

“It appears that the alleged suspects are targeting these residences because in each break and enter large kitchen

appliances have been stolen,” says Cpl. Sharon Siluch.

“No matter where you live, when anyone is away from their home for an extended period of time, it is important to take extra care in securing your property. Not only should your home be secure but it should also appear lived in,” says Siluch.

At the present time, police do not have any suspects.

Anyone who may have seen anything or has information regarding these crimes is encouraged to call the Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161, or call Crimestoppers at 604-669-TIPS (8477).

A safe holiday is a happy holiday

Christmas can be a wonderful time of the year when you spend it with family and friends.

For the 140 members of the Mission Health Care Auxiliary (MHCA) it is, because they know that when they are working for the auxiliary during the festive season they are also helping others.

Christmas starts early at the Cottage, the thrift shop run by the MHCA (33228 First Ave.) where many items suitable for Christmas gifts and decorations are available for sale. The shop window is decorated and the ladies wear festive aprons instead of their usual purple uniforms.

During the Candlelight Parade Dec. 2, $300 was raised that will later turn into equipment, bus trips or comforts at the hospital or at a facility.

unable to go home for Christmas.

The candy stripers helped decorate the Emergency Care Unit, and were excellent with unraveling strings of lights.

On Dec. 22, half the residents will enjoy a Christmas dinner with

their families. The turkey dinner is served by the kitchen staff but auxiliary members are on hand to help as needed and hand out the Christmas cake and festive cookies.

MHCA has always given a few small gifts to each resident — one year in the bag there was a pair of hand-knit socks, another year there was a pair of sock slippers.

There is always hand lotion and a Mandarin orange. The executive of MHCA wrap these gifts at their monthly meeting.

Like any organization we have members who are not working at present due to ill-health and those who worked for years and are now associate members who do not work the expected 50 hours a year.

A few of us visit them with a poinsettia and a smile and stay for a short while for a chat.

All members will try and get together twice this Christmas for lunch.

WILSON STREET ONE LANE ROAD CLOSURES November 21, 2011 – December 23, 2011 Monday to Friday, 7:00 am to 5:00 pm BC Hydro will be under-grounding a section of the power distribution line that currently runs along the east side of Wilson Street near the Ruskin Dam. This temporary relocation of the distribution line is required for site safety to avoid the risk of any drilling or construction equipment accidently contacting the lines during the field tests or project construction.

Make safety a priority this winter with some simple tips: v Watch children around fireplaces. Put up a safety guard or hearth to protect little hands. v After a snowfall, clear the path to your meters and brush away any snow build up.

#2 - 33231 First Avenue DOWNTOWN MISSION

ADRIAN MACNAIR PHOTO

Great gifts this season closer than you think

BY ADRIAN MACNAIR Mission Record

Shopping in downtown Mission benefits the health of the entire community, even if people don’t realize it.

Not only does a vibrant downtown attract shoppers and visitors from other communities, but it keeps the local economy strong when those same store owners reinvest in the community.

The problem is some people don’t know what Mission’s downtown has to offer.

“My local customers are pretty loyal, which is nice, but I see new faces all the time that are from the area who didn’t realize we were here,” says Gemma Quiring, owner of Goody Too Shoes.

Quiring says shopping local is important because it maintains a network of businesses that can provide the products and services a community needs. That, in turn, generates local jobs so people don’t have to leave the district to find work.

As a store that serves mainly women’s apparel, Quiring says there are plenty of men looking for something for their wives or girlfriends.

“They come in with that deer in the headlights look,” she says, chuckling.

But fear not, as the personal touch that a local business offers can help with things such as picking out the proper colourmatching attire for your significant other.

Ted Buckle, a co-owner of Rex Cox Men’s Wear, is big on reassuring customers that he is there to

provide service, not just sell shirts and pants.

“We still give personal service and gift wrapping at Christmas, which you probably won’t get at big box stores or malls,” he said.

Buckle has worked at Rex Cox for over 50 years, and the store has been a landmark in Mission since 1925.

It is the enduring specialty stores on First Avenue that maintains the community’s character.

Janet Chalmers, president of Mission Downtown Residents’ Association, was shopping at Rex Cox and shared her

thoughts.

“It’s a fantastic community. We saw during Mission Fest people coming down here saying, ‘Gee, I didn’t even know these stores were here.’”

Chalmers said some businesses are asked several times a week to donate money to local community groups and charities that go toward benefitting some people who have never shopped downtown. So, although people may not realize it, the unseen benefits of a healthy downtown economy is clear.

“People expect them to

give back to the community, but the community has to give to these merchants too,” says Chalmers.

Angela Morrow, owner of Uncommon Thredz, has been selling clothing in Mission for 11 years, and what strikes her as being most important about patronizing local businesses is, to echo Buckle, the personal touch.

“We’re a dying breed of experts in our trades,” she says, adding she enjoys helping people See PROPERTY Page 21

through the process of choosing what’s right for them.

Morrow brings in the kind of unique products you can’t find in a big box store, ensuring 70 per cent of her inventory is Canadian-made. She also takes pride in catering to women over 40, who often have difficulty finding what they need in chain stores that have a one-size-fits-all attitude.

Ted Buckle, co-owner of Rex Cox Men’s Wear, says his store offers services not found elsewhere.

Another important thing people don’t realize is that if Mission doesn’t

have a robust downtown, then local real estate isn’t worth as much, says Mor-

row. If a downtown is rundown and neglected, the surrounding areas suffer not just economically, but socially and culturally.

But Morrow says it’s about more than just money or house values. There’s civic pride to having a downtown where shoppers can walk from store to store, talk to the merchants and build relationships within the community.

“It keeps our downtown vibrant. That’s important, our town.”

• SUNDAY, JAN. 8: The Jim Cuddy Band plays at the Clarke Theatre (604-8203961). Best known for his band Blue Rodeo, Jim Cuddy has also released three solo albums including his most recent album, Skyscraper (2011).

Advance tickets are on sale for $45 at all Ticketmaster Locations, by phone 1-885-985-5000 or online at www.

A Donnelly family Christmas affair Mark Donnelly is a household name on the west coast, mainly for his operatic delivery of the Canadian national anthem at Vancouver Canucks games, but his music goes beyond just his a cappella rendition of O’ Canada.

Now, Missionites can hear him sing live in concert as he brings “A Donnelly Family Christmas” to the Clarke Foundation Theatre tomorrow evening to sing some of the classic Christmas carols we know and love.

Some people might be unaware that Donnelly is actually an accomplished choral conductor and arranger who

has involved his family in his love of music.

Music has always been a dominant part of life in the Donnelly household. Born and raised in Vancouver and North Delta, he played ice hockey from the age of 12. After earning a BA from UBC, he began his career singing national anthems for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League while working for a parish in Scranton.

He and his family moved back to Vancouver in 2001 and he started doing the same for the Vancouver Canucks.

He has since become a fan favourite for his

ticketmaster.ca.

Colleen’s beautiful soprano voice, Theresa’s rich mezzo, and Sean’s “tenortone” voice like his dad (a tenor with some low notes), round out the quartet.

The Donnellys began receiving requests to sing at various events in 2005, primarily during the Christmas season. When the Okanagan Festival Singers asked them to sing as featured performers for their 2007 Christmas Concert, the Donnellys decided to take things more seriously and recorded a Christmas CD (which they did during the summer).

Many of the arrangements were written and

rehearsed in the Donnelly basement, which features an ice rink made of plastic.

The result is a 16track CD, which the quartet will sing in concert, of many Christmas and Gospel classics including: Carol of the Bells, It Came Upon A Midnight Clear, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, O Holy Night, Ballad of the King and the Innocents, Go Tell It On Da Mountain, Coventry Carol, Jingle Bells, Gabriel to Mary, O Come O Come Emmanuel, Joy to the World, Ave Maria (Schubert), Lo How a Rose (Es Ist Ein Ros), Rise Up Shepherds, Si-

lent Night (Stille Nacht), and finally What Child Is This.

Some might have seen Donnelly perform in Mission already.

While rehearsing for his appearance he learned about the charity concert Christmas at the Clarke, and immediately donated his appearance to the cause.

Tomorrow’s show is one night only at the Clarke Theatre with the doors opening at 7 p.m. and the show starting at 7:30.

Tickets are $20 and available through all Ticketmaster locations by phone at 1-885-9855000 or on the web at www.ticketmaster.ca.

rousing, patriotic and passionate singing of the national anthem, and for holding the microphone to the crowd and encouraging them to sing along.

Donnelly has been directing church choirs since he was a teenager and for the past 25 years has specialized in Gregorian Chant and 16th century polyphony.

A father of nine children, Donnelly involves many of them in his chorus. Sean, Colleen, and Theresa, the three eldest Donnelly children, naturally sang along from a young age, and had several years of vocal experience, before they were teenagers.

HEATHER POLLOCK PHOTO

Blue Rodeo fans take note, because Toronto’s Jim Cuddy and his band are coming to the Clarke Theatre Jan. 8 to bring down the house with their high tempo country-rock.

Although Cuddy made his name with Blue Rodeo, winning seven Juno Awards and seven SOCAN awards as well as receiving a star on

Canada’s Walk of Fame in Toronto, he has also released three solo albums including his latest, Skyscraper Soul (Warner Music Canada, Sept. 27, 2011).

One of the album highlights is Everyone Watched The Wedding, the record’s first single written about the royal wedding.

Cuddy’s 1998 single

All in Time (from the album of the same name) went gold in Canada.

His follow-up album in 2006, The Light That Guides You Home, was released to critical acclaim and won a Juno for Adult Alternative Album of the Year.

With Skyscraper Soul reaching eighth on the Canadian charts (10 higher than previ-

ous album), Cuddy has proved once again that his song writing ranks with the best country music Canada has to offer.

He performs Sunday, Jan. 8 at the Clarke Theatre. Advance tickets are on sale for $45 at all Ticketmaster locations.

Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show kicks into full swing at 7:30.

Interested in helping others read?

Mission Library is looking for adult volunteers to assist with their Reading Buddies program, a cooperative program between the library and Mission Literacy in Motion.

This after-school program aims to help children who are struggling with reading to improve their confidence and skill level through weekly practice sessions.

Reading Buddies runs from September to June and pairs high school students and other interested adults with children in Grades 1-4 who need extra help.

You might think that by this time much of the popular fishing equipment at most shops will be well picked over and you may be right, but there are still some items many shoppers don’t think of.

The Grandview Steelers and Port Moody Black Panthers laid waste to the Mission Icebreakers last week, 5-3 and 7-3, respectively.

The Mission Pacific International Junior Hockey League team made its way to Burnaby Winter Club last Sunday to face Grandview, a team now sporting a 9-12 record.

Despite being nearly even in shots on net, the Steelers led throughout the game, except for a brief spell where the Icebreakers went ahead by one at the beginning of the third period, thanks to a goal by Adam Callegari, who also earned third star of the night.

Five minutes later, the Steelers answered back with two quick goals to seal the junior B team’s fate.

Three days earlier, the Icebreakers hosted the Black Panthers.

The ‘Cats were up 2-0 after the first period, but Mission came out on fire scoring back-to-backto-back goals, which included two unassisted markers from Dallas Rossiter, named third star of the game.

The flurry of scoring activity was soon quelled by Port Moody, who went on a five-goal streak, burying the Icebreakers 7-3.

The Icebreakers are now 3-18 for the season, and play the Ridge Meadows Flames tonight (Dec. 22) at home. Puck drops at 7:45 p.m.

EHRENHOLZ, Richard Lucien “Dick” Richard Lucien “Dick” Ehrenholz was born in Poland on August 5, 1924, father, John Louis Ehrenholz and, mother Lidia Halikow, survived by siblings, John Ehrenholz, Lucy Fatkin, Alice Stark, Shirley Allert, Nettie Donovan and many cousins.

Immigrating to Canada as a young child, they lived a short while in Saskatchewan before relocating to Bradner, B.C., where he went to school and met the love of his life of 67 years, Rose, who he married on August 26, 1944 and had four children Wayne Ehrenholz (predeceased), Ron Ehrenholz, Elaine Dyck, Diana Kowaliuk, 2 Son-In-Laws, Gary Dyck and Lyle Kowaliuk as well as 8 Grandchildren, Jason and Karmen Ehrenholz, Amanda and Gregory Dyck, Josh and Shelby Lockwood, Makayla and Courtney Kowaliuk. Married life began in Bradner on their family farm on Interprovincial Highway and he resided here until 1989 when they moved to their current address on Marshall Road in Abbotsford. Bradner was very much home for Dick and he became an integral part of the Community through his involvement in the Bradner Community Club.

Dick’s work history started in the logging camps and the road construction industry throughout the Province of B.C. and concluded with a 22 year career as Deputy Superintendent of Public Works at Matsqui Municipality, when he retired in 1988.

He was a big, gentle man, who loved sports, enjoyed people and displayed a logical demeanor that allowed him to think through problems and handle situations with grace and dignity. He loved his family and friends and enjoyed life to its fullest. Dick passed away at 11:40 p.m. on December 17, 2011 surrounded by his wife and family. Memorial Services will be held Wednesday, December 28, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. at Bradner Hall. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in his name to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
