Trustees approve schools of choice Traditional and fine arts schools now available in Mission BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Mission students will have two more schools of choice to pick from for the 2013-2014 school year. Mission school board trustees unanimously supported transforming Edwin S. Richards (ESR) elementary into a fine arts centre, but debated turning Hillside elementary into a Kindergarten to Grade

6 traditional school before it was approved by a 3-2 vote. The change was aimed at keeping students in the Mission school district and preventing school closures. Fifteen of the 23 empty classrooms in the urban area are at Hillside, ESR, and Windebank. “The goal is to make three healthy, viable schools so the ministry won’t ask us to shut any down,” said board chair Edie Heinrichs. Enrolment numbers support a traditional school at Hillside; and ESR, which has been testing an art-based curriculum since 2011, already has a waiting list. There are 267 students regis-

tered for Hillside and 304 for ESR in September, said vice-chair Jim Taylor, who hasn’t seen the numbers for Windebank school yet, but adds Windebank would be the catchment school for any current Hillside or ESR students who don’t want to attend a school of choice. “I see it as a positive change,” said Taylor, who offered an apology for the disruption and upheaval at Hillside during the process. “It makes us a stronger district.” Trustees Randy Cairns and Carol Hamilton opposed the Kindergarten to Grade 6 traditional school model for Hillside because of the “rushed process.” Discussions for a traditional school began last November, and

Cairns would’ve preferred to start small, offering the traditional model to Kindergarten to Grade 2 students, then gradually growing the program. Some parents feel they were not consulted, and were not able to present their concerns, said Cairns. “It’s wrong.” “While I support choices for families, it shouldn’t be done at the expense of another group,” Cairns added. About 50 parents attended the school board meeting Monday night at the former Fraserview elementary school to hear the trustees’ decision. Many parents backed the traditional school model as they held up signs of support.

Police forces swoop on grow-ops in rural Mission BY TIM FITZGERALD Mission Record

Some of the most state-of-theart grow-ops ever discovered were part of a major drug bust in Mission last Friday and are believed to be linked to the Outlaw Motorcycle Gang. Sgt. Lindsey Houghton, spokesperson for the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C., said more than 10,000 marijuana plants at four rural Mission properties were discovered when the search warrants were executed early Friday morning. One of the properties, on the 13000 block of De Graff Road in Mission, was concealed in an underground bunker that was disguised as a horse paddock. “It was like a movie set,” said Houghton. “From the outside it looked exactly like a horse barn.” However, once inside he said the grow-ops were equipped unlike many they have come across in the past. “The resounding sentiment coming from the officers on site, who have as much as 10 and 20 years of experience, is that they’ve never seen anything as sophisticated as this system before. The officers were pretty blown away.” The CFSEU, with support from the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team, the Surrey RCMP, and the RCMP Air Services also

A story titled, School district has $3.9M deficit, published April 18, contained some incorrect information about a bank loan. Further investigation revealed two bank loans relating to the old Riverside College near Lougheed Highway were taken out to acquire and retrofit the building. The first loan was approved by the board in 2003 for $1.8 million, and the second in 2005 for $840,000, according to Mission Public School secretary-treasurer Wayne Jefferson. Subsequently, the site was sold, and the college was moved to Dewdney Trunk Road. The new Riverside is paid for. When Jefferson was reporting on the school district’s financial picture last month, he based his numbers on the two loans. The unpaid balance on both loans is $814,000, and the school district has plans to pay them off within the next two years.

raided properties on the 10000 and 14000 block of Sylvester Road, the 12000 block of Dewdney Trunk Road, and another in Langley. Houghton said they believe the grow-ops have been in operation for several months and noted each was capable of producing as many as 10,000 plants in about three months. He said the cash value of each operation was worth millions. “These are not the classic marijuana grows in a closet in the basement or even ones seen in typical residential homes,” he said. “We are talking about large, highly sophisticated grows that are using the latest technology to boost the growing cycle as well as extremely high levels of security to keep the grow operation concealed from both the police and, more impor-

For the record

Police raided several stateof-the-art marijuana grow operations in Mission. RCMP

tantly from the grower’s perspective, from organizations that exist almost solely to steal or “rip” grow operations.” In addition to the 10,000 marijuana plants, there was about 200 pounds of dried marijuana seized with an estimated value of as much as $10 million. They also seized about $20,000 from the Langley raid Houghton said the equipment used to produce the marijuana is estimated to be valued at $1 million. Each property was operated by a natural gas generator worth an estimated $100,000 each. With enough power to provide electricity to “a small town,” Houghton said the generators had to be removed by a large crane. Two men, a 33- and 32-year-old, both of no fixed address, were arrested trying to flee the De Graff Road bunker on foot but were quickly caught by RC,MP Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team members. A 33-year-old Burnaby man was also taken into custody inside the 14000 block Sylvester Road grow-op without incident. A 34-year old man of no fixed address was caught trying to run from the 10000 block of Sylvester Road grow-op by ERT members with the help of an RCMP K-9 unit. All of those arrested were released from custody and drug-related charges are being considered.

Mike Bocking BC NDP • Use carbon tax revenue to fight against climate change through investment in improving and expanding public transit, including the West Coast Express. • Improve the governance of TransLink by inviting local representatives back to the table to improve regional transit and solve cross- jurisdictional issues like those faced by Maple Ridge and Mission, which has so far prevented a bus route from running between Mission and Maple Ridge. Marc Dalton BC Liberal I will continue to work with regional representatives and authorities to enhance public transportation between Maple Ridge and Mission, Mission and Abbotsford and increased West Coast Express service. Regionally, tremendous provincial investments have been made to improve commuting including the $3.1 billion Trans Canada and Port Mann Bridge (which now has rapid-bus service for the first time in decades), the completed Canada Line and under-construction Evergreen Line. We will soon have the most extensive light-rail transit system in Canada and I will work to see it expanded into the Fraser Valley to serve the Mis-

Alex Pope BC Green Party Transit needs to be a higher priority for funding. We spend billions of dollars on new highways while many people are wanting to use a lessexpensive alternative to their automobile. This riding has the additional challenge that TransLink only services half of the riding. As a result, the options to travel between Maple Ridge and Mission is limited to the West Coast Express, which runs on a limited rush-hour schedule. It is important that the Central Fraser Valley Transit system integrate better with TransLink. The WCE contract coming up for renewal in 2015; we need to look at how we can expand this service in a cost-effective manner and integrate it with the soon-to-be-built Evergreen Line.

MD: The Mission Memorial multi-million dollar expansion to include a Campus of Care and the Community Health Centre is a prototype for all British Columbia.

OPINION

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

Vote on May 14 Candidates in next week’s provincial election who are committed to connecting with voters this election campaign are knocking on doors. Lots of them. And at the doorstep, it’s easy to sort out the candidates who are committed to their riding and those who are in the race just for a comfy chair in Victoria or helicopter rides to a cabinet table. Simply put, good candidates know their riding. Good candidates won’t speak in generalities, telling you about the need to replace aging school infrastructure or that health care wait lists are unacceptable. They won’t talk about the need for more rapid transit or debate the future of the carbon tax. They also won’t speak of the need to boost our forestry and mining industries to ensure British Columbia continues to enjoy the confidence of investors. All are important issues, sure. But let the leaders sort that out. Voters who really care how many dollars will be invested in this program or that program are free to study platforms of the parties, most of which lay this out on websites and campaign literature. Besides, party leaders are trumpeting these facts throughout the campaign, which is dutifully followed by hordes of news media. Some candidates running for election May 14 know their stuff because they care about their community. Others aren’t near as familiar with their potential constituents and what they can do to help them. Listen closely. Read campaign literature. And consider what kind of politician you’d like to represent your neighbourhood. On May 14, get out and vote. Black Press

NDP to voters: Trust us W

hen Adrian Dix took over as B.C. NDP leader two years ago, he struggled to communicate, especially in the sound bites of radio and TV. There was a running joke in the legislature press gallery: It didn’t matter what question you asked him, you got a six-minute answer that ended with the evils of log exports. Even more than under Carole James, the NDP railed against log exports. “B.C. logs for B.C. jobs” became one of Dix’s favourite slogans. As the election approached, another Dixism was heard daily: “Say what you’re going to do, say how you’re going to pay for it.” So it was a surprise a few weeks ago when the NDP signaled it would essentially not offer a policy on log exports. They’re going to meet with “stakeholders” and come up with a plan after they get a majority government. This is exactly the same non-policy the NDP had in 2009. They don’t have an answer to the industry’s point that the high price gained by premium logs in foreign

markets is what keeps many loggers working, and subsidizes the harvest of other logs for B.C. coastal mills. Another thing the NDP doesn’t like is private power development. This issue featured prominently in the NDP leadership contest two years ago. Leadership contender Mike Farnworth told the party faithful he would study independent power purchase contracts, and if he found that they are not in the public interest, he would “mend them or end them.” Another To leadership hopeful, energy critic John Horgan, allowed that he would “break” contracts if necessary. By this spring, Dix had a new non-position on power purchase contracts. He will “assess them and address them.” The printed platform promises a review “within the limits of existing contracts.” Either they plan to risk a costly legal battle, or

they’re just paying lip service. All you have to do to find out is elect them. Labour code changes are another blank slate. A memo from the B.C. Federation of Labour executive to members last year described how they were working closely with the NDP to rewrite B.C. labour law. The NDP election platform punts this issue until after the election as well, promising an independent expert panel to decide on issues like whether to end secret-ballot votes for union cerm tification. This isn’t just a bad idea, it’s a 30-year-old bad idea. It’s based on the destructive old notion that employers are the enemy of workers, and only a union can protect them. The long decline of union membership in the private sector isn’t caused by employer bullying or secret-ballot votes that protect employees’ freedom of choice. The cause is glob-

al competition. The only protection workers have from that is their own efficiency. Balancing the budget? An NDP government will strive to do that over “the business cycle,” says finance critic Bruce Ralston. Old-timers might remember this one. It’s taken from the NDP’s 1991 election platform. Yes, 22 years ago there was a widespread belief in a predictable four-year cycle of commodity prices and other economic determinants. Whatever was left of that dusty, faded picture was erased with the financial collapse of 2008. If you still believe in a predictable “business cycle,” you may be willing to accept that an NDP-led B.C. will become the first jurisdiction in human history to eliminate poverty, by setting annual targets and paying out borrowed money to low-income parents. On ferries, fracking, union contracts, capital construction and other weighty matters, the NDP’s answer is the same: trust us. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

YOUR VIEWS A recent visitor received excellent care at Mission Memorial Hospital.

Thank you for excellent service Editor, The Record: We recently were visiting family in Mission when my spouse developed a severe nosebleed. We went to the emergency department at the local hospital where we waited about five minutes before we were seen. This in itself is unheard of in a larger hospital and certainly not the norm in Victoria where we live. My spouse was admitted, they performed a minor surgery and he was released the next morning.

Upon our return home to Victoria, our regular physician commented that had this occurred in Victoria we would’ve been sent home with a surgery date sometime in the future. We are writing to express our gratitude for the excellent treatment we received in Mission Memorial Hospital and hope it continues to be available to meet the needs of the Mission people.

BY TIM FITZGERALD Mission Record

Property crime in Mission continues to be a burning issue with local law enforcement. RCMP Insp. Richard Konarski of the Mission detachment told council Monday night while his officers continue to make great strides in most areas, property crime continues to plague the district. Konarski said his detachment has made an effort to focus on the issue in 2013. Overall property crimes from Jan. 1 to March 31 of 2013 are up slightly compared to the same time in 2012. In the first three months of this year, there were 589 reported incidents, compared to 554, or a 6.3 increase, said Konarski.

One of the biggest jumps came from the theft of motor vehicles, which jumped to 47 in the first quarter of 2013, compared to just 24 in 2012. Konarski said one individual they were watching “had a propensity for breaking into VW” cars. “He was so brazen, he would get checked by our officers and he would say “look, this is my field of expertise. I know how to break into VW vehicles, and quite frankly, I’m doing a public service. If they leave stuff in their cars, it’s their own fault,’” explained Konarski. RCMP undertook surveillance of the suspect and learned he was attempting to seek treatment for an addiction. Konarski acted quickly to help facilitate the sus-

pect’s rehabilitation. “I told one of my officers this is now your full-time job. Facilitate that move,” he said. The RCMP were able to get the suspect into Kinghaven Residential Addictions for 70 days. Konarski said the goal is to press the issue until suspects are faced with the choice of either cleaning themselves up or spending time in jail. While property crimes as a whole are up slightly, the RCMP have made significant inroads in residential break and enters. Reports for 2013 are down to 35 in the first three months of 2013, compared to 75 in the same time last year. Konarski said by targeting known problem areas, they have reduced the numbers significantly.

DEWDNEY TRUNK ROAD CONSTRUCTION May 21, 2013 to October 31, 2013 Monday to Sunday To meet the demand for electricity and improved reliability, BC Hydro will be making upgrades to the electrical system along Dewdney Trunk Road—from 232nd Street to the Stave Falls Dam. To help minimise impacts, the project has been divided into two phases: Phase 1: 272nd Street to Stave Falls Dam ã

May 21, 2013 to October 31, 2013

9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Phase 2: 232nd Street to 272nd Street ã

May 27, 2013 to October 31, 2013

7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. while crews work from 232nd Street to 240th Street

9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. while crews work from 240th Street to 272nd Street

Multiple crews will work concurrently in multiple locations along Dewdney Trunk Road as they replace several utility poles and upgrade electrical equipment. This work will require ﬂaggers to direct vehicles around the bucket trucks, which may cause temporary trafﬁc delays. BC Hydro recognizes the inconvenience this work may cause and we will strive to complete the work as quickly and safely as possible. If you have any questions or would like more information about this project, please contact BC Hydro at 1 866 647 3334. 3869

Unlicensed vehicles, trailers not hooked up to vehicles and licensed vehicles that are left for extended periods of times on district roadways reduce the curb appeal of Missionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighbourhoods and can pose a risk to the travelling public. In response to several recent complaints from the public, the district is reminding people of the parking regulations on public roads. District bylaws require that all vehicles parked on district roadways be licensed and that vehicles are not parked for more than 48 hours without moving. Also, any trailers parked on district roadways must be physically hooked up to a vehicle. Unlicensed vehicles and trailers not hooked up are subject to ticketing and towing. Trucks with a gross vehicle weight of greater than 4,500 kilograms and recreational vehicles greater than 8 metres in length are not permitted to be parked in residential areas. Please take the time to ensure your vehicles and trailers are parked according to the bylaws. Thank you for helping to keep your neighbourhood safe and looking great.

So, to ensure the health of your street tree we ask that you follow these tips: Do not over or under water Established trees will require limited watering and have been selected in order to survive local conditions. Many community trees die as a result of over watering. During dry periods water your tree deeply no more than twice a week.

or mulch around the base of the tree will help to retain soil moisture and suppress weed growth. Mulch also reduces the need to cut the grass too closely to the tree trunk. Make sure that the wood chips are not touching the tree trunk as this may encourage and shelter pest that can damage trees. Support stakes Support stakes should be left in place for no longer than two years. If trees have been planted prior to 2011 then go ahead and remove the tree ties and

stakes as the tree is well enough established to stand on its own. Tree ties that are tight can actual lead to the decline and death of the tree if not removed. Keep lawnmowers, string trimmers away from the trunk of the tree Damage to the bark can result in eventual decline or death of the tree.

CT: We have proposed a stable funding system broader than the current system where funding is reviewed every year. In addition, we will make sure that parents are more involved in the education process.

MD: A strong economy is critical for all British Columbians. It’s built on a responsible government that keeps tax rates low and maintains a Triple A credit rating, to ensure businesses and families can prosper. I recognize that small businesses is the back bone of our communities and employ over a million people. To help small businesses, we will reduce their tax by 40 per cent. We will promote the development and prosperity of our natural resource sector including LNG and mining. We will continue to promote foreign trade and the expansion of our high tech sector.

What are your ideas to grow B.C.’s economy? MB: • Increase B.C.’s domestic and foreign production tax credit programs to create jobs in film, TV and digital media. • Enhance B.C.’s venture capital programs to recruit, retain and repatriate high-level technology talent. • Undertake a comprehensive review to modernize B.C.’s liquor laws. • Renew B.C.’s trade and export strategy with regional and sector-specific goals. • Improve B.C.’s skills training and apprenticeship system. • Expand the Buy B.C.

AP: The Green Party of British Columbia recognizes the importance of small business in our communities. Ninetyeight per cent of all businesses in B.C. are small to mid-sized and we believe that the future health and stability of our province’s economy lies in their success. They invest money directly into the communities where they operate.

Pope is also concerned about education and knows there are overflowing schools in eastern Maple Pope Ridge. Albion area needs a new school, he said. The computer programmer is the chair of the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Bicycle Advisory Committee and on the board of Cycling B.C. He is pushing for more infrastructure for bikes, and plans to

review the Motor Vehicle Act to find ways to protect cyclists. Pope says he’s a member of the federal Liberals and didn’t have any intention on running until he joined the provincial Green Party a few weeks ago. The Green Party is about sustainability and living life in an environmentally friendly way while not incurring debt to get there, shared the Green candidate. “I don’t consider myself a leftwing person,” said Pope. “There are candidates across the political spectrum in the party. Protecting the environment isn’t just a left wing issue.” To contact Alex Pope, e-mail alex.pope@greenparty.bc.ca.

In this election, Dalton is focussed on the economy, transportation and tax relief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of trepidation with the potential of an NDP government because of their past record and their ability to control finances,â&#x20AC;? stated Dalton. The Liberals, he continued, are paying down the deficit and in a challenging economy, B.C. is only one of two provinces with a surplus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the economy does well, it will reflect on the people, and if it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do will, it will impact the people,â&#x20AC;? said Dalton. The Liberals are holding the line on taxes and will reduce taxes on small business, explained Dalton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t increased taxes for five years. People are stretched.â&#x20AC;? As a trained school teacher, education is also a priority for the Liberal incumbent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to have a long term contract with teachers because we think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for kids and teachers to have stability.â&#x20AC;?

Thompson seeks Maple Ridge-Mission seat BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Thompson

Chad Thompson joined the B.C. election race last week as a BC Conservative in the Maple Ridge-Mission riding. As a Langley resident, Thompson says he has a lot to learn about the two communities, but

put his name forward because he didn’t want to see the region unrepresented by his party. “I have a passion for politics and am familiar with the interests of all British Columbians,” noted Thompson. “I am concerned about how the province is being run at this time.” Thompson says he will fight

for seniors, families, and children, and notes the cost of living is one of the most significant issues the province is facing. Thompson has been busy speaking with residents and has learned many are not content with the current West Coast Express services. Thompson is an entrepre-

neur with an automotive background. He has completed courses in management and mediation/negotiations. He is currently working on starting a small business which identifies and promotes digital recordings of personal items as well as engraved items to help

police locate them if they are lost or stolen. In his spare time, Thompson enjoys spending time outdoors and knows the recreational opportunities available in Mission and Maple Ridge. To contact Thompson, send an email to chad4mapleridgemission@hotmail.ca.

young people looking to join the work force. We also need to focus on balancing the provincial budget, rather than taking money away from social programs to fund rising interest costs. Forty years of experience in business has taught me that too much debt is crippling. It scares me that the NDP have rolled out billions of dollars in new spending during this campaign, and their “every dollar is accounted for” rhetoric just isn’t credible because their anti-development attitude will reduce revenue at the same time as spending rises. There is truth to the adage, “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it”. The NDP came to power in 1991 and governed the rest of that decade. Investment dried up and economic growth trailed the rest of Canada. A low point came when the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce thanked the BC government for driving growth investment in Alberta. Glenn Clark’s 1996-1999 tenure was arguably the most disastrous for B.C. and with Adrian Dix, Premier Clark’s former chief of staff leading the province, I’d be very worried about history repeating itself. It took many years for the Liberals to repair the damage. During their time in government, North America suffered through a major recession and yet we now have a triple-A credit rating, higher than the US government, allowing B.C. taxpayers the lowest possible interest rates Have the Liberals done everything right? Certainly not. The introduction of the HST by the Campbell government was badly handled. There have been other gaffes and ill-thought out policies. And while there is a natural inclination for people to vote to change long governing parties, it’s important not to let the NDP sleepwalk to victory without thinking about which party is likely to create jobs and not burden today’s young people with a mountain of debt. I’m not asking that you agree with me, only that you think through the full consequences of your choice carefully. And then get out and vote on May 14.

Many adults recall the days of their youth when mom would relax while listening to some of her favourite music on a lazy summer afternoon. Why not take a stroll down memory lane and take mom to see one of her favourite acts in concert? Even if you have outgrown mom’s musical tastes, she will still appreciate the chance to spend an evening out on the town with her kids and some good music. • Theater tickets: If mom is a fan of live theatre then nothing will elicit a bigger smile than tickets to a Broadway show she has had her eyes on. If Broadway is a bit too far for you to travel, do your homework and find a traveling production of a former Broadway show. • Parts unknown: moms who love to travel and experience other cultures would certainly appreciate a trip abroad or a domestic getaway to a region of the country they have yet to explore. • Spa treatment: If mom is still as active as ever, then a day of pampering at a nearby spa is sure to please. Many luxury spas offer packages, especially around Mother’s Day, that make a full-on spa treatment a more affordable gift. Men and women can even accompany mom on her trip and reap the rewards of being such a thoughtful son or daughter.

Celebrate Mom

Give the gift of green M

om may appreciate chocolate or flowers. But for children who want to offer her something a little more special — especially for their eco-conscious moms — there are a number of different gift options to make mom’s big day as eco-friendly as it is enjoyable. An eco-friendly gift for mom is a gift that keeps on giving. When you jot down your gift idea list, think about adding these “green” gifts. • Make a basket of gardening gear. Garden plants and supplies are perhaps the greenest gifts to give mmomom. Plants are so plentiful and varied that there are bound to be ideal flowers or greenery for every mother’s tastes. Compile different gardening essentials, such as seeds or seedlings, organic soil mix, mulch, all-natural compost, and a few different planting containers. You can also include gardening gloves and ergonomic tools made of recycled materials. Finish the gift with the inclusion of a book that describes different garden designs and gives tips for beginners. • Dine at a local restaurant. Many families take mom out for a meal on her special day. To make the experience eco-friendly, select among restaurants that are close to home. Explore the possibilities of restaurants that may serve foods made with local, organic ingredients. If you cannot find such a restaurant, do not worry, just choose a local establishment to conserve fuel. • Pay for a car tuneup. Improving the gas mileage on mom’s car is one gift that can be environmentally friendly. According to the United States Department of Energy, keeping a car in shape can help save money and improve fuel economy. Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve mom’s gas mileage by as much as 40 percent. Also, be sure to have her car tires properly inflated. She can be

&RQVLGHU DQ HFR IULHQGO\ JLIW IRU 0RWKHU·V 'D\

losing gas mileage by 0.3 percent for every 1 psi drop in all four tires. Getting an oil change with the recommended grade of motor oil is another gas mileage improvement measure. • Purchase eco-friendly kitchen items. It may be a major faux pas to give mom an appliance or a new vacuum for Mother’s Day. However, if your mother is an avid cook or baker, she may appreciate some new mixing bowls or utensils

made from recycled materials. If mom is the consummate entertainer, get her new glass tumblers and sipping straws made from recycled glass. They are perfect for serving cocktails and outdoor entertaining. • Pamper mom with organic products. What mom doesn’t enjoy a little pampering from time to time? You can treat your mother to a spa experience at home by assembling a basket full of organic shampoo,

conditioner, massage oils, bath salts, and any other organic spa items you can find. • Select organic fruits and flowers. Companies like www.organicbouquet.com can assemble a bouquet made from responsibly grown flowers or even a wreath for a wall or door. They also have food gifts, from organic fruits to nuts. • Spend the day outdoors. Most moms cherish any gift from their children, and a nice, eco-friendly gift is to spend time together. Research local parks or hiking trails and plan a day where you both commune with nature. Or even head to the beach for a relaxing day. Explore the landscape and be on the lookout for birds and washed up treasure from the sea. Plan to finish the day with a homemade, picnic lunch.

Foote tickles funny bones tonight at Clarke Theatre Black Press

When Norman Foote hits the stage at the Clarke Theatre Thursday night (May 9), he’ll be joined by about 50 local school children. Students from Dewdney, Deroche and Cherry Hill elementary schools have been busy learning songs from Foote’s Juno Award winning album, Love My New Shirt. While they’ll only sing alongside the entertainer for about 15 minutes of the performance, they’ll remain on stage for the entire time to enjoy the songs and antics that have earned Foote recognition across North America. “They don’t just sing. They do the actions, sound affects, all sorts of things,” Foote says. “They become this wonderful animated wall of sound and melody.” Foote has been performing most of his life, and left Vancouver at the age of 20 to explore Australia and New Zealand. He ended up making his living as a street performer and developed an interest in puppetry and physical comedy — a perfect match to his musical abilities. His career has included working for Disney Records, the CBC show Scoop and Doozie, and live musicals for Max & Ruby, and Toopy and Binoo. So, it would come to reason that he’s also worked with another well-known and beloved children’s performer, Fred Penner. “I know Fred,” he

Juno award winner Norman Foote will be performing with Mission students tonight at the Clarke Theatre. SUBMITTED PHOTO

says. “We go way back to Winnipeg, when we had the same manager.” The two have a similar take on music, combining strong storytelling with contemporary sounds, and ending with a product that appeals not just to children, but to listeners of every age. “We’ve both kind of been really lucky with our careers, “ Foote says, adding that while his music isn’t quite folk, it’s “based on folk and comedic songs, with jazz and reggae fusions.” And a healthy dose of humour, to boot. “You’ll find a lot of my material tickles the parents’ funny bones,” he says. “I need to sing this material, and so I’ve got to like it. I’ve got to love it.” And the process of including children in the show directly — sometimes Foote has up to 300 children on stage at once — is a way of sharing that experience in a profound way. “They get a sense of being part of something really special,” he says.

“And there is safety in numbers, with children musically.” For years, Foote has been traveling around North America, playing in a different community each week. He always hopes to draw out laughter and smiles in his audience, on stage and off. And oftentimes, it’s the biggest, toughest customers that end up rolling in the aisles, he adds. To add to the fun, Foote asks that everyone coming to the show wears their “coolest, most fun shirt.” He also loves to hear the children sing along in unison. “I try to get kids to realize it’s not a competition,” he says. “Everyone has their own voice … and everyone has a voice to be proud of.” The show starts at 7 p.m. tonight (May 9) at the Clark Theatre. Tickets are $10 and available at the door. For more information about Foote, visit normanfoote.com.

DON’T LET YOUR MISTAKES CRUSH YOU

We all make mistakes, and sometimes these mistakes are big ones which adversely affect ourselves and the ones we love. It is often easier to live with mistakes that affect only ourselves than those which hurt the ones we love. But we should not allow ourselves to be crushed by our mistakes. We really should pick ourselves up, do what we can to alleviate the damage that we may have caused, and get on with our lives. In fact, we should really have a mindset that plans on making mistakes. Not in the sense of actually trying to do something wrong, but in the sense that because we are human, we know that we will err and that our errors may sometimes be costly and painful. Our favorite cup will someday be broken, because we, or someone else, will drop it. Most car crashes are caused by driver error, and we can wallow in our guilt after an accident, or we can “dust ourselves off,” and move on with our life. I’m not suggesting that we be callous about our mistakes. A certain amount of guilt and remorse is appropriate, but it is important that we not wallow in self-pity precisely because that attitude makes it more difficult to help those we may have harmed.

Enough is Enough in Mission on Monday Bike rally draws mental health awareness to communities ALINA KONEVSKI

the road, May 13, will land them in Mission where they will hold a rally at the Mission Lei-

sure Centre and speak about their personal experience. Centennial Place is partnering on

donations within the province where they were received. They are putting their solid

marketing knowledge to broadcasting their message and event widely, and will have a daily

blog on their website. “We’re going to make this ride a big deal,” said Kerry.

On Monday, May 13, Mission will become the second stop by a couple riding their bicycles across the country to raise funds and awareness for mental health. After their teenaged son gave up his life to depression in 2001, Ginny and Kerry Dennehy created a foundation in his name. Since then, they have raised more than $5 million, financing a new mental health facility at the B.C. Children’s Hospital, establishing a chair in depression research at the University of British Columbia, and supporting suicide prevention programming at the B.C. Crisis Centre. “We’re trying to change society’s viewpoints on stigma and mental health. If we do that, more and more people that suffer from depression and mental illness will come forward, and be accepted in society,” said Kerry. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for Canadian youth, and depression is forecast to be the second leading cause of disability by 2020. Too often, people suffering from mental illness feel that others don’t understand, and don’t care, Kerry explained. The Dennehys promote that people can be whole, happy, and lead productive lives. They can relate to other people, and fit in society. Much of the Kelty Patrick Dennehy Foundation’s past fundraising came from highprofile golf tournaments in Whistler. The Dennehys are now embarking on a new strategy. Starting in their hometown of Whistler on May 12, the veterans of two GranFondos will cycle 8,000 km to Cape Spear, Newfoundland, by August. “We feel very energized, and very excited about it,” said Kerry. “We’re so much looking forward to discovering our country.” Their second day on
