SERVING MISSION SINCE 1908

Cost split 50/50 for voluntary water meters The final approval of council will launch program Carol AUN MISSION RECORD

Mission residents eager to be a part of a water metering program will have to wait a few months to sign up. Mission council has approved a voluntary metering program, with interested residents paying 50 per cent of the installation costs, and the district retaining ownership of the meters. But before staff can proceed with the next steps, council needs to approve the minutes of the meeting, said Mission’s director of engineering and public works, Rick Bomhof, noting councillors can still change their minds. Typically, minutes are submitted to council in

the next few weeks following the meeting, but Bomhof noted the minutes from the Aug. 14 meeting are being held back until all council members are back from holidays. The next scheduled meeting with a full council is Oct. 21. “Metering has been an ongoing discussion for a couple of years,” said Bomhof, who isn’t surprised elected officials need more time. “There’s a lot to think about.” Water meters are an effective tool to manage the system, according to the engineer. “You can’t manage what you can’t measure.

Cash in and cash out for B.C. election NDP candidates buck provincial trend in outspending Liberals in Maple Ridge-Mission riding Neil CORBETT BLACK PRESS

The governing BC Liberal party outspent the BC NDP by a margin of $11.75 million to $9.7 million in May’s provincial election, but in the Maple Ridge-Mission riding, the NDP was the bigger spender. The Greens won their historic first seat in Oak Bay-Gordon Head on spending of just $180,000. The B.C. Conservative Party listed $155,000 in expenses. Election revenues and expenditures were released Aug. 19, and can be found at elections.bc.ca. It was a close twoway race in Maple Ridge-Mission, which incumbent Liberal Marc Dalton won with 10,327 votes, while Mike Bocking of the NDP garnered 8,830. Alex Pope of the Green Party won 1,818 and BC Conservative Chad Thompson had 1,190. Bocking listed revenues and expenditures of $105,000, mostly for salaries, office rent, newsletters and promotional material. He lists $24,000 in contributions from unions.

both unions and large corporations relegated to the sidelines. Pipeline companies, fish farms, government employee unions and other groups are all exerting influence on the political system with donations, he said. He looks at the involvement in U.S. politics of large organizations such as the National Rifle Association, the pharmaceutical industry and insurance companies, as a system of which British Columbians should be aware. Corporate contributors gave $5 million in donations to the Liberals, followed by individuals at $2.4

million, unincorporated businesses at $420,000 and $385,000 from other sources. The NDP got nearly $2.6 million from individuals, $2.5 million from trade unions and $2.1 million from corporations. “Only citizens who can vote should be contributing, and only to a maximum of $1,000,” said Bocking. That said, he made no apologies for his comparatively big-spending campaign against Dalton. “The NDP has to compete under the rules we have now.” Dalton said the spending limits, set at $73,000 for the

writ period, and the same limit for the 60 days leading up to the dropping of the writ, means the political system is relatively accessible. He countered that while the Liberal party spent more than the NDP during the race, some unions placed election-style ads which did not count as NDP spending, but supported their cause. “Trade unions carry on their own publicity campaign, and that’s not part of the cap,” Dalton said. The MLA allowed that some companies do the same for the Liberals, but “not to

the extent.” Liberal Simon Gibson won the Abbotsford-Mission riding while outspending his closest competitor, Preet Rai of the BC NDP. Gibson ran a $59,757 campaign, while Rai’s cost $49,563. Gibson’s highest expenditure, $22,800, was for marketing and promotional material, while Rai spent the most ($13,400) for salaries and benefits. Green Party candidate Aird Flavelle spent $3,377 on his campaign, while BC Conservative Don Stahl spent $5,021. – with files from Mission Record

Hit and run leaves teen injured Soapbox races Friends raising money to buy victim a new bike delayed by rain Carol AUN

MISSION RECORD

A 13-year-old Mission girl is spending the last week of her summer holidays helping a friend replace his bicycle after being involved in a hit and run incident last Wednesday. When Jordyn Paige Donohue heard her schoolmate Tanner Whymark was knocked off his bike at the intersection of Hyde Street and Bracken Avenue by a truck, she didn’t hesitate to help. The incident left Whymark with a broken ankle, bruises and other minor injuries.

His bike was crushed. Donohue set up a Facebook page, Let’s Help Tanner Get a New Bike, to raise awareness and collect donations to buy Whymark a new mountain bike once he’s well enough to ride again. The group already has more than 300 members. Donohue says what happened to her friend makes her “sad and sick. Why would you hit a kid and just leave him? “I hope he gets well soon.” Whymark’s mom, Michelle, says her son. who loved to ride and

It’s very touching.” A trust account has been set up at Prospera Credit Union to collect donations. The account number is 3216397. Mission RCMP say the hit and run happened around

6:30 p.m. on Aug. 21. They are now looking for the truck and its three occupants who fled from the scene. The suspect vehicle is described as a newer black Ford F150 with silver trim.

Soapbox derby drivers are rain-delayed until September. The Aug. 24 competition was called off after rain hit the track the night before, and fearing the road wouldn’t dry up in time, Mission and District Soapbox Derby Association executives cancelled the event around 6 a.m. on race day. The weather forecast was calling for more rain, explained association president Remco Bergman. Any moisture on the track could be hazardous for drivers, he added. By 9:30 a.m., Stave Lake Street dried up, but it was too late. The decision had to be made early to reduce set-up costs, such as dropping off 1,400 bales of hay and closing off the street. Even the cancelled event cost the organization nearly $2,000 for insurance and having the hay bales driven out. The Soapbox Derby has been rescheduled for Saturday, Sept. 14.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Questionable expenses

There can be no doubt Pamela Wallin has joined a select, but unenviable, group of senators, following fallout over her “troubling” travel expenses. The ostracized few – including fellow former Conservatives Mike Duffy and Patrick Brazeau – are no longer permitted to charge travel expenses other than direct flights to and from their home ridings. Wallin’s apparent habit of charging taxpayers for sidetrips to Toronto, while travelling between Saskatchewan and Ottawa, is part of a pattern that led auditors to call for her to repay more than $121,000 of her travel claims for 2009-12. Wallin argues auditors used 2012 rules to evaluate pre-2012 expenses and suggests some discrepancies are a result of sloppy bookkeeping. Others suggest senators were given erroneous information when they assumed their duties. None of which alters the fact that Wallin – as a former high-profile TV personality, like the previously disgraced Duffy – should have known the damage bad optics have done time and again to political figures, particularly when there is any suspicion of misuse of the public dime. It’s no secret that Wallin – like Duffy – was an appointee of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and that both were vociferous in campaigning on behalf of his party. Could that have accounted for a certain sense of invulnerability on her part? While the Conservatives have since done everything they can to distance themselves from Wallin, Harper has not escaped criticism for giving Wallin’s expenses a clean bill of health as recently as February. By May, Wallin was asked to resign from the Conservative caucus. Constituents could be forgiven for asking what changed about Wallin’s expense claims, between February and May, to alter Harper’s tune so dramatically on such an ardent – and presumably useful – supporter in the red chamber. - Black Press

Amazing story needs a happy ending Frank

Bucholtz

My View One of the most interesting news stories I’ve read this summer was first published in the Surrey Leader. Black Press reporter Sheila Reynolds detailed how the daughter of a Surrey woman who went missing more than 50 years ago had found out that her mother was still alive and living in the Yukon. Surrey RCMP first published information about the case of Lucy Ann Johnson in June, as part of its periodic updates of missing persons cases. This case was one of the oldest in the detachment’s files, going back to 1961, although Johnson was first reported missing in 1965 by her husband. He later stated to police that he actually hadn’t seen her since September 1961. When I heard about the circumstances of her disappearance, my natural assumption was that her husband was involved more that he had admitted, and may indeed have

murdered her and concealed the body. While some police officers may have reached that conclusion over the years, they are trained to deal with facts and evidence. Police did a thorough excavation of the Johnson property near 104 Avenue and 144 Street and turned up no evidence. While Lucy’s husband Marvin had been seen digging on the property, in fact he was digging a septic field. There was never any evidence of a murder taking place, and thus it remained a missingpersons case. Surrey RCMP took the time and trouble to once again publicize the case, despite the lengthy interval of years. And amazingly, the story had a very unexpected twist. In fact, the story is continuing, and the ending still hasn’t been written. Linda Evans did some intensive searching through newspapers in the Yukon for information about her mother, after police reopened the case. She reasoned that her mother had come from that area originally (she was born in Alaska), and may well have

gone back there after leaving her Surrey home. And in terms often used in the days of the Klondike gold rush, she struck pay dirt. The initial June 28 story in the Leader stated that: “For Evans, finding out what happened to her mom, after all these years, would provide at least some answers to a mystery that has haunted her since childhood.” “I would like to know before I die,” she said. “She’s got grandkids and greatgrandkids.” Evans was about seven years old when her mother disappeared. There was a big hole in her heart which time hadn’t filled. She began doing research and placed an ad in the Yukon News in Whitehorse, detailing her mother’s name, place and date of birth, as well as her grandparents’ names. She almost immediately got some information, and finally received a phone call from a woman who said she believed Lucy was also her mother, and was alive and well and living in the Yukon. Evans has four new half-siblings and is

There is a bond between a child and a mother that is hard to define or even understand.

hoping to see her mother again soon, once she can save up enough money to travel there. She doesn’t hold the long gap in time against her mother. While she says she has a lot of questions, she has no hard feelings. She has since talked to her mother on the phone and can hardly wait to see her. As is the case with many people, financial constraints are preventing her from going there immediately. Letter-writer Loriann Herchuk has suggested that either an airline donate the flight to Evans or that people chip in to help her get that chance. That’s a great suggestion and I hope that someone will take up the challenge. While friends, spouses and family are all extremely important to us, there is a bond between a child and a mother that is hard to completely define or even understand. Evans needs to have the chance to see her mother again and get to know her, 52 years after she last saw her. That would be the perfect ending to an amazing story.

YOUR VIEWS

School district has every right to reclaim building

An ongoing travesty Editor, The Record: Re: Just leave the dog at home, please, Aug. 15 edition. The recent editorial showcases acts perpetuated by senseless people and sadly, every year many local papers reiterate the same stories, with little to no remedy forthcoming. Since 1995 I have advocated for animal rights, welfare and respect. Unfortunately, in the Fraser Valley, too many people exhibit ignorant, indifferent behaviours in regards to leaving not only dogs in hot vehicles to suffer, but children too. In the broader context, cats are prolific breeders and unaltered cats having litters and those litters having litters, can produce 420,000 kittens in seven years.

Today, the same dilemma of unwanted animals being euthanized exists unabated. The SPCA and other animal welfare/rescue groups are drastically under-funded and most receive no municipal or provincial funding and instead rely upon volunteers and donations. The key contributors to the sad and ongoing travesty are first and foremost elected mayors and councillors who fail to establish effective basic care and handling, spay and neuter requirements, breeder permits and stringent fines and bylaws. Compounding the problem, well-meaning volunteers sell animals for adoption at too high a cost, trying to recuperate their costs and at no fault to

themselves, each time their full shelter refuses to take in additional cats, they exacerbate the inability to attract volunteers and donations. The merry-go-round has continued for years by indifferent leaders, which is both sad and worrisome. There appears to be no remedy in sight, except repeating the same innocuous articles understating the problem, but moreso, overlooking its causes. Until people who can offer remedy step up, we will witness this travesty being continued as history has a tendency to repeat itself when solutions are not acted upon. George F. Evens Mission

Editor, The Record: Re: Former Ferndale school building to be repurposed, Aug. 22 edition. As a taxpayer in Mission and a parent, I am wondering why this issue is getting such publicity. I understand that it is a daycare, and that it involves children, but it is also a school district building. I feel for the families that are being displaced but I think that the main issue is being overlooked. I am sure that if some local business was told by their landlord that they were giving them notice because they wanted their space back, the community wouldn’t blink an eye, but because it involves children, we should all be in an uproar. I would like to suggest that the school district is doing what is in their right to do and their best interest. It sounds like they have a good plan in place to use the school. Would everyone be as upset if they gave her notice so that they could re-open the school to

elementary students again? I don’t think so. The article said that the rent that the school district receives from this daycare covers half of the operating cost of the building, our tax dollars have been subsidizing the rest. This isn’t a non-profit centre we are discussing, where all the money that is brought in goes directly back to the programs. I would guess that there was a lease in place, and that either party would be able to give notice to vacate the premises, just like most any other lease. I, for one, have no problem with the school district taking back what is rightfully theirs, and ours as taxpayers. When they had no need to use it, they leased it to someone who needed space, which made them look like heroes, but now that they need their space back they are being criticized. Really? Dawn Illerbrun Mission

Doing damage to our precious salmon habitat Editor, The Record: Of all his worries about the state of wild salmon in B.C., my late father, a commercial salmon fisherman for about a half-century, was particularly worried about the dangerously negative repercussions of the over-warming of waters on our wild salmon, not to mention fish-farming and pollution. Currently, the Fraser River is experiencing a bad-news rise in temperature. Having said that, however, I can picture him whirling in his urn if he could still observe what our governments are allowing — and much more frightening, going to

allow — various industrial interests to do to cause serious damage, perhaps irrevocably, to our precious salmon habitat; and, topping it all off, apparently to a degree beyond what Dad likely thought possible. So many very early mornings, I’d briefly get up for a washroom break and see the light breaking through underneath his bedroom door and into the hallway’s darkness, with my father on the other side very slowly typewriting missives to various politicians. I must have proofread and made many grammar corrections to almost a couple hundred letters over the years, just on this topic alone.

Although I’d assure him that the politicians do not have or will not give their time to personally respond to each concerned writer; that they almost certainly had hired staff to read the missives and use an ‘issue-template’ letter return system, with a specific template ready to respond to every potential issue. All they’d likely do is type in the letter-writer’s name and address and print it out to mail back.

Carol Aun MISSION RECORD

Mission council approved third reading to allow a six-storey mixed-use building but is holding back final approval until a number of requirements have been met. These include approval from external agencies and internal departments, a $127,658 letter of credit to ensure the installation and maintenance of all aspects of the landscape plan, and a community amenity contribution of $28,150. Nobody spoke against the proposal — located at 7251 Cedar Valley Connector, just behind Mission Gateway Plaza — at the public hearing Monday night, and the only speaker, who lives close by, questioned how private her home would remain. Mission planner Dan Sommer explained most of the trees on the slope will be protected and didn’t anticipate privacy to be a issue. The proposed building would consist of four live/work commercial units and 64 apartments above on the 0.92 hectare lot. The builder, Jordan Kutev Architect Inc., is also offering five adaptable dwelling units, which can be modified into

universal access units for anyone with disabilities. The apartments would range from 665 sq. ft to 850 sp. ft., and the commercial units would have an additional 592 to 807 sq. ft. About 4,900 sq. ft. will be set aside for outdoor amenity space, such as a courtyard and playground, and there will also be about 1,730 sq. ft. available for indoor amenity space, such as meeting and exercise rooms. The site is challenging to develop and there are significant limitations at the rear of the property, said Sommer. “Much of the property is encumbered by a steep sloped area at the southwest and drainage channel to the north end which is protected by a restrictive covenant,” said Sommer, noting a geotechnical report indicates the land may be developed with suitable protection measures. The development can be accessed from a panhandle driveway off Cedar Valley Connector, located between the plaza and a protected drainage channel. It is not known when final reading will be given.

Mission challenges Abby to take part in health survey Community mayors bet on the participation rate of their residents Carol Aun MISSION RECORD

District of Mission is challenging the City of Abbotsford to encourage residents to participate in the Fraser Health Authority’s health survey, My Health My Community.

Details of the challenge still have to be worked out, but Coun. Jeff Jewell, who suggested it, also recommended the mayor of the losing community polishes the mayor of the winning community’s vehicle. Since Abbotsford has

a greater population, the success will be measured in percentages. “If the City of Abbotsford can encourage more people to participate in the survey than we can in Mission, I will personally wash and wax Mayor [Bruce] Banman’s car,” said Mission

Mayor Ted Adlem. The recently launched survey aims to gather health information from each municipality. The current data is sporadic and not consistent, explained Dr. Victoria Lee, who spoke to Mission council Monday night to help iden-

tify local networks to promote the survey. The information collected will be used to help create health profiles for each community and can be accessed by Fraser Health and municipal staff for planning purposes. The survey focuses on

six categories: socio-demographic, health status, the built environment, lifestyle, healthcare access/primary care, and community belonging. Anyone aged 18 and over can fill out the survey, which is available online at myhealth-

mycommunity.org. Lee added they will also be doing surveys in the community and will be working with organizations to encourage their members to participate. The survey takes about 20 minutes to complete and is available until Dec. 31.

9,000 households without meters FROM 1

water system), theyâ€™re able to see where potential problems and suspected leaks are, and we can work with them to fix it.â€? Coun. Jeff Jewell agreed the lack of data prevents Mission from knowing exactly how water is being consumed by residents. â€œThe only data that we have is that data that comes from bulk meters and the best estimates they can provide,â€? said Jewell. â€œIt gives us numbers we donâ€™t want to believe.â€? Council is primarily discussing water meters because Abbotsford is suggesting Mission residents are overusing water, said Mayor Ted Adlem, who believes homeowners should bear the full cost of a water meter in a voluntary program. â€œThereâ€™s always a cost to volunteer. â€œIâ€™ve compromised and said 50 per cent is fair,â€? he said. A meter installed inside the house is estimated to cost between $525 to $675 and a meter installed outside the house could cost between $1,100 to $1,700 depending on the type of driveway at the home that needs to be restored. Property owners will split the cost with the district. A report to council estimated the cost for three installation scenarios in the voluntary metering program for all homes currently without meters â€“ about 9,000. In the first scenario, all of the meters would be installed at the property line, including those within paved driveways requiring repair â€” at a cost of $13 million. The second scenario, estimated to cost $10 million, would see meters installed inside the 27 per cent of homes where driveway repairs

are necessary, and at the property line for the remaining. And the final option is to install the meters inside all the homes at cost of $6.6 million. Capital costs of up to $13.1 million would be taken from the community works gas tax reserve fund, the water capital reserve fund, and the sewer capital reserve fund. Additional operating costs for the voluntary metering program would be an estimated $423,000. â€œAll developers have to pay to bring water meters in,â€? said Adlem. â€œIf you want a secondary suite or a coach house, youâ€™ll have to pay for the water meters too.â€? The district already meters institutional, commercial and industrial (ICI) properties, and most multi-family buildings. Staff had proposed to begin the program in January 2015. Currently, owners of detached houses pay a flat rate of $819.48 per year in water and sewer costs. Under new rates proposed for Jan. 1, 2015, existing metered properties and new construction will have the option to pay either a flat rate of $917.09 or a metered rate. The latter option consists of a $232 base rate, plus $0.91 per cubic metre of water consumed and an additional sewer rate of 77 per cent of the total water usage. Homeowners with average water consumption would save approximately $35 over the proposed flat rate. Those with lower water consumption could save upwards of $140. Those living in a home constructed after 2009 will already have a water meter. â€“ with files from Maria Spitale-Leisk

Grace Cunningham carries her late father’s pain. For decades he sheltered her from the stories of abuse he and the other First Nations children endured at a residential school in Sechelt. “All that he really shared with us was that they were starving, and they were so far from home, says Cunningham. “He would sometimes cry in silence remembering his experience.” It was only a year before Cunningham’s father passed away that she would learn more details about the atrocities that occurred under the residential school system. “Dad shared how he was not allowed to speak his language, and of how some boys sim-

ply disappeared and he never knew what happened to them – nobody did,” recalls Cunningham, executive director of the Mission Friendship Centre Society. The centre dates back to 1954, when the Coqualeetza Fellowship Club was formed to provide support services for aboriginal people moving to the city. In 1963, when the club was incorporated,

it marked the beginning of the Friendship Centre Movement in B.C. Today, the Mission Friendship Centre Society serves the needs of aboriginals and non-aboriginals alike by providing counselling, guidance and referral services from a central location in downtown Mission. Many St. Mary’s Indian Residential School survivors regularly walk through the centre’s doors. “We strive to bring healing and culture back to the lives of the families on a daily basis,” explained Cunningham. Where Fraser River Heritage Park stands today, St. Mary’s was opened in 1863 by a Catholic missionary order from France. By 1961, the students were transferred to a government-run residential school, on the same property, which remained active until 1985. Last fall, a working group was formed to plan local initiatives that would bring awareness and information about residential schools to the greater community. The Mission Friendship Centre Society worked with key organizations including the Fraser Health Authority, Aboriginal Health, Mission Healthy Community Council — and two St.

Mary’s survivors. Using a grant they received from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, the group planned two special ceremonies — both held in the spring — and commissioned a canoe carving. The first event was a truth and information sharing session, held at the Mission Friendship Centre, and a second event was hosted by the Leq’a:mel First Nation in Deroche, where former students were honoured in a traditional mask dance ceremony. The Mission Friendship Centre also wanted to create a piece of art that would reflect the spirit and the healing journey of past and present survivors. Damian George from the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, another St. Mary’s residential school survivor, came forward and offered to carve a canoe. After discussing it with Mission Mayor Ted Adlem, it was decided the canoe would permanently be housed at district hall. Entitled “Healing Through Faith,” the wooden artwork was presented to Mission council in a special ceremony on Aug. 6. Afterwards, Adlem said the canoe represents an understanding between the District of Mission and the former St. Mary’s students. “And I don’t think that people realize that kids were taken from their homes when they were in kindergarten, and they literally lived in these schools until they were 18 [years old],” said Adlem. He added the canoe is a valuable teaching tool for those who visit district hall. “People should become aware of what happened in the past that really wasn’t right,” said Adlem.

a conditional sentence (house arrest) of two years less a day.

He referenced expert testimony that indicated doda is “about 10 per cent the potency of opium” and causes “significantly less” personal or societal harm than harder drugs such as heroin, cocaine, and meth. Dickey said the sentence should be similar to what is given in marijuana convictions. He said he also considered that neither accused had been the “operating mind” in the production of the poppies, both had been “deeply remorseful” of their actions, neither had a prior criminal record, and neither was at a risk to re-offend. Conditions of their sentence include that they each complete 240 hours of community service, follow a daily curfew of 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., and not have contact with each other.

the purpose of trafficking and production of a controlled substance. Dickey said the case is the first one in Canada in which someone has been convicted of the production of opium poppies. Expert testimony at the sentencing hearing in June estimated there were 558,000 poppy plants on the field where Bath and Dhaliwal were arrested after police executed a search warrant. The field was estimated to be just over six acres, and the street value of the crop was estimated to be $1.6 to $4 million. But Dickey said he believed those numbers were exaggerated because they didn’t take into account that some corn was also growing on the field and that there were areas where the poppies were growing sparsely. Dickey said he believed the field was five acres in size, had 120,000 to 240,000

Pub owners cautious on liquor law changes Phil Melnychuk BLACK PRESS

As the provincial government embarks on another round of liquor policy reforms there are different reactions from local people in the liquor business. One brew pub owner appreciates the government being less of a nanny state. Another says Victoria’s ever-changing approach to liquor laws has driven down the value of his investments. Allowing patrons to have a craft beer at a farmer’s market, a glass of wine at the spa, and even an adult beverage at the beach are new freedoms that have all been proposed for this latest review. The government is sending letters to

10,000 liquor licence holders asking for feedback. In September a website will allow for public input, then recommendations to the provincial cabinet will be made in November. Brock Rogers owns the Billy Miner Pub in Maple Ridge. Under recent amendments to liquor laws, he is now able to sell beer that he brews at another holding, the Mission Springs Brew Pub, in his Haney pub. He sees it as a sensible change “They’re softening these lines all the time,” he said. It has created opportunities for brew pubs. In the past, the options for his patrons were limited. “We have Molsons,

or would you like Molsons?” is how he puts it. Now he has 28 taps at his Mission pub, and is installing more at “The Billy.” “Now, if you don’t have selection, you’re not in the pub business.” He sees an increasing number of customer-driven, positive changes in liquor enforcement. With a new caterer’s liquor licence, he will be able to take his portable wood-fire pizza ovens to local festivals and events, and also serve customers a beer. “You hope they will keep it casual – we don’t need to build fences around people drinking beer,” he said. In Whistler, children

are allowed to accompany their parents into a pub until 8 p.m. He sees that as a reasonable approach that could be adopted for the entire province. Spas, farmer’s markets and even barber shops are reasonable venues to serve patrons a drink — but a limited number, he says. Rogers has a pub in Korea. He said it is the nation with the highest per capita beer consumption, there is less regulation, but you don’t see people drunk in public. His feedback to government will be that Victoria look at the tourism potential of brew pubs, which he says could compare with the burgeoning Okanagan wineries.

Lower local speed limits, scooter licenses proposed Jeff Nagel

BLACK PRESS

B.C. cities will next month debate proposals to cut the default speed limit on municipal streets to 40 kilometres per hour and to force licensing and regulation on users of motorized wheelchairs and scooters. The two proposals are among transportation-related resolutions that will be on the floor at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver in late September. The City of Victoria is behind the proposed cut in default speed limits from the current 50 km/h – if the lower 40 km/h default limit is adopted by the province, municipalities could still selectively designate specific roads for higher speeds. The resolution asks for provincial aid installing new signage, including signs for roads where the speed limit would be different from the default 40 km/h. The current default is dangerously high on some residential streets, argues Victoria Coun. Shellie Gudgeon. “Even laneways can be 50

km/h if it’s not signed,” Gudgeon told Black Press. “It’s far too fast for neighbourhoods and families.” Ian Tootill of the motorist advocacy group SENSE BC predicts drivers wouldn’t obey a 40 km/h limit and said there’s little evidence of low-speed fatalities or injuries that could be prevented with an even lower limit. “The people who are driving this agenda are the people who underneath it all are anti-car,” Tootill said. “A lot of these people don’t even drive.” He said another example of bureaucratic overkill is the “laughable “ proposal to regulate motorized wheelchairs and small mobility scooters. Sidney council argues seniors drive them too fast on sidewalks without any regulation. Their resolution to UBCM urges the province to regulate the use of motorized mobility aids, including wheelchair and scooters, and require training, testing and licensing of operators. There’s currently no registration, insurance or licence required to operate them in B.C.

The province has indicated to UBCM it intends to develop a coordinated plan for safe operation of motorized scooters, including possible amendments to the Motor Vehicle Act. The provincial coroner in 2008 issued recommendations supporting scooter regulation after several scooter-riding seniors died in crashes with vehicles. The B.C. Coalition of People with Disabilities opposes the idea. “These are mobility devices that people need to get out into the community,” said executive director Jane Dyson. “Such a regulation would impede their independence.” Another potentially controversial resolution coming before UBCM is a call for the province to allow the use of photo radar to ticket speeders in school and playground zones. The proposal from Penticton council argues that police-staffed speed traps and volunteer-run speed reader boards are labour-intensive and have had limited success in reducing speeding.

Province should review more roadside driving bans: NDP Justice minister sees no problem after suspension overturned Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

The NDP’s justice critic is urging the province to overhaul its process for reviewing roadside driving bans imposed on drinking drivers in light of a recent court ruling. Leonard Krog said the

government should proactively offer to re-review other cases if the procedure for weighing challenges turns out to have been incorrect. The B.C. Supreme Court this month quashed one roadside driving ban that had been upheld in the re-

Y O U ’ R E

view process, deciding a report setting out guidelines for use of alcohol screening devices was inadmissible. Defence lawyers say the ruling could be grounds for many more roadside prohibitions to be appealed. Krog said the govern-

ment must be scrupulously fair in how it handles challenges of the penalties, because they take effect immediately and are dispensed at the roadside by police. “In our zeal to get drunk drivers off the road, which is something we all share, it

I N V I T E D

doesn’t mean you get to disregard the rights of citizens to fairness in the hearing process,” he said. Government lawyers are still reviewing the implications of the overturned decision. But Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said the ruling appears to be

T O

WORLD

largely procedural and unlikely to threaten the three-year-old legislation underpinning the Immediate Roadside Prohibitions. Anton said about 1,500 roadside prohibitions are issued each month and just two per cent on average are successfully challenged. Alcohol-related fatalities have plunged 51 per cent since the expanded system of suspensions kicked in nearly three years ago – replacing criminal prosecutions of many impaired drivers – and the government estimates 143 lives have been saved. Anton said the regulations continue to have a powerful effect deterring people from drinking and driving. Drivers who get an Immediate Roadside Prohibition can lose

their driving privileges for up to 90 days, have their vehicle impounded and face hefty fines as well as costly installation of an ignition interlock device in their vehicle. Documents recently disclosed under Freedom of Information show drivers who challenge their rulings to the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles aren’t told if the screening device used to test them was later found to be inaccurate. They’re merely told their driving prohibition was deemed invalid, without provision of specific reasons, usually weeks after the vehicle was impounded and the licence suspended. The province pays towing and storage bills of appellants who are successful.

Smoke, fire and thunder over three racing days Dean Murdoch CONTRIBUTOR

It was an awesome end to the summer feature events at Mission Raceway last weekend, as the jet dragsters and funny cars, wheelstanders and four other feature classes at SMS Komatsu’s “Smoke Fire and Thunder” event entertained the fans for three days. Friday’s racing brought the fans to their feet as the Canadian Pro Street Association (CPSA) made six-second 220-mph runs under the nights. The Canada West Doorslammers were outstanding with 29 cars in competition and all making the 8.70 field. Mission’s Justin Bond won the category. Point leader Mike Bedsworth was gone early and that allowed a point leader change as Otto Schulte takes over the lead, but it will be a battle down to the wire as four or five drivers are in the hunt for the last two weekends in September. The NW Outlaws had two first-time finalists. Abbotsford’s Dan Provost got the win over North Vancouver’s Greg McLean. Dan’s son

Many housing options available for seniors in Mission

The summer schedule has come to an end for the Mission Seniors Activity Centre. This summer has been busier than normal.Â At least 25 enthusiastic people attended Wednesday night bingo. The prizes were good and it has brought new people to the centre to enjoy our activities. Bridge was a little lower in attendance but those that came enjoyed a rousing game, and the company of other seniors. Â The tea, coffee, and cookies added to their enjoyment. Â Â Â Â

From previous page townhouse-style building can camouflage the ones that are currently vacant. t $PODJFSHF TFSWJDFT 4PNF PG UIF more exclusive communities may have staff who can help with everything from booking vacations to helping with moving details. There also are developments that offer transitional homes, and someone may be available to help with the transition from an activestyle home to one that has nursing staff or assisted living offerings at that time in life when it is needed.

Wednesday morning crib saw a good crowd with an average of Â eight tables playing.Â Crib is a very popular game and stimulates the mind.Â Many seniors live alone and need the company of others. What better way than a stimulating game of crib?Â Â Â MSAC will introduce floor curling as a new activity this year. Floor curling can be done by everyone.Â We need a cart to store and move the supplies around. If you have such a thing or the

ability to help us build one please contact the office. Â The knitting social has been added to our weekly activities. It has a very useful goal, and a pleasing accomplishment Â for participants. Â We need more volunteers to help with activities at our centre.Â If you can help in any way we would be very grateful. Â Please come byÂ or phone the centre 604814-2188. Â â€” Submitted by MSCA

FSNA is largest retiree group in Canada The Federal Superannuates National Association, commonly called the FSNA, is the largest retiree group in Canada.Â ItÂ is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1963, and represents retirees from the public service, the RCMP, the Canadian Forces, and federally appointed judges. There are 84 branches across Canada with close to 185,000 members. The national office is located in Ottawa. The purpose of the FSNA is to protect membersâ€™ retirement pension benefits such as the Public Service Health Care Plan and the Pensionersâ€™ Dental Services Plan. At the present time, the Treasury Board wants to decrease the medical benefits to 50 per cent from 75

There is an increasing number of choices available for independent living to accommodate Missionâ€™s growing seniors population, including a new campus of care for seniors that is currently being constructed near Mission Memorial Hospital on Hurd Street.

per cent. If this happens federally, then it will not be long before all employeesÂ in allÂ provinces and citiesÂ and as well as private companies across this nation will have their benefits reduced as well. The FSNA is joining forces with provincial, municipal, medical associations, and other organizations across this country to prevent this from happening. Â Â Â Â Â Â The FSNA advocates the rights of all seniors in Canada by meeting with members of parliament, MLAs, and local officials.Â Â Â Â Â Â The Central Fraser Valley Branch of FSNA will meet next on Thursday, Oct. 10 at 1:30 p.m. The Christmas luncheon will be on Dec. 9 at 12 p.m. For more information call Gary at 604-820-9179.

MAINLAND HEARING

Did you know that people wait an average of seven years before they seek solutions for hearing loss? When we begin having trouble with our hearing it is common to think that others are not always speaking clearly or that the TV broadcast is not as clear or loud as it used to be. We may ask for repetition more often than normal and feel that we miss parts of the conversation. It is also common to begin noticing trouble hearing in noisier environments before noticing trouble hearing in quieter places. It is important to have our hearing checked on a regular basis so we are aware of these changes. People are in the habit of having their eyes checked every two to three years and hearing is no different. A hearing test is simply a

How it works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle. Look for the solution in next month’s puzzle section of Living 55 Plus. Solution to last month’s crossword

Join the Mission Trails Challenge and become reconnected with nature In this electronic age, more and more children are drawn away from the natural environment and towards video games and other electronics for their entertainment. How many adults can honestly say they also live a relatively unwired life? Fortunately, one thing Mission does not lack is access to nature! The Mission Municipal Forest is roughly 26 times the size of Stanley Park, with numerous trails and quiet logging roads that you can explore on foot. In just minutes, you can be surrounded by beautiful forests and babbling brooks. Join the Mission Trails Challenge this year and get reconnected with nature. This is the second year of the challenge and is open to everyone. Download your passport and more information from www.mission.ca -

Try to visit as many as you can over the summer and hunt for the trail code. Enter the trail code on the passport in the spaces provided, fill in your contact information and submit to one of the five designated drop-off locations to receive a congratulatory certificate. All entries received will be placed in a draw for grand prizes. Itâ€™s all in our nature so get outside and take a hike!

Last twilight concert of the year Friday The final Envision Twilight Concert of the year runs this Friday at Fraser River Heritage Park. The Ten Souljers will perform from 7 to 8 p.m., and as part of the celebration for the last show of the season, there will be free hot buttered corn on the cob to go along with the tunes. Bandleader Marty Robson formed Ten Souljers in 2004 with a simple goal in mind: to become the best party-starting, grin-inducing dance band in Can-

ada and beyond. Robson and lead singers Karina Morin and Dâ€™arcy Han lead the charge of a band boasting guitars, drums, keyboards, and a full horn section. The Souljers bring a high-energy, full-band sound to every one of their songs. The Souljersâ€™ repertoire of songs is massive and diverse, and reflects their energetic style. Performances run the gamut from Etta James to Rihanna, from Neil Diamond to the White Stripes. Each and every member

THE POWER OF NAMES There is something sweet and satisfying about the sound of our own name, especially if itâ€™s uttered with genuine love and affection. Maybe this stems from our mother and father gently cooing our names to us when we were infants. We identify ourselves with our names, and if we want to make a strong personal connection with someone, we should remember their name and use it judiciously when talking to them. When God gave Adam the task of naming the animals, He was establishing a connection between us and the animals and giving us dominion over them. In the same way, remembering and using someoneâ€™s name gives us a kind of power over them which we should use responsibly. Likewise, forgetting someoneâ€™s name is somewhat like forgetting the person, and misusing someoneâ€™s name can even be offensive. Our Heavenly Father wants us to love and respect one another, and remembering names is one way to reflect our good intentions.

Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body. R.S.V. Proverbs 16:24 St. Paulâ€™s Presbyterian Church http://pccweb.ca/stpauls-mission

loves being in the band and performing with them â€“ and it shows. Their on-stage chemistry is abundantly obvious, and their unmistakable enthusiasm is infectious. The Souljers are a soul-stirring blend of powerhouse vocals, spine tingling harmonies, a sensational horn section, and dynamic performance. Their all-out, 100 per cent live show is a thrilling and unforgettable experience. Says Carol Hamilton,Â Envision Financial branch manager in Mission, â€œWeâ€™ve been overjoyed by the participation and support from our community toward reducing hunger in Mission, and we want to offer a big thanks to everyone who comes out to the Envision Financial Night of Thanks corn roast.â€? This summer The Full Cupboard was welcomed by the Twilight Concert Series and together with the help of dedicated concert-goers raised over 500 lb of food and $400 for St. Josephâ€™s Food Bank. Bring a lawn chair or blanket and settle in for a great night of live music at Fraser River Heritage Park. The Blackberry Kitchen and The Log Cabin CafĂŠ are open.

Back to school road safety

Thousands of B.C. children are injured every year With less than a week to go until school returns, ICBC is asking parents to begin preparing children for getting to and from school safely. Every year in B.C., an average of 30 children aged five to 18 are killed and 5,100 injured in 14,700 crashes. “As children across the province return to school in a couple of weeks, it’s the ideal time for parents to review the rules of the road with their children and take the time to go over their daily route with them,” said Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. “Everyone should plan ahead for the return of the school season because the roads will be much busier, so remember to leave earlier to avoid rushing, stay focused on the road and use extra caution, especially around school zones.” “Police across the province will be closely monitoring speeds in school zones to make sure drivers stick to the 30-km/h speed limit,” said Chief Constable Jamie Graham, Chair of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police Traffic Safety Committee. “We want children to get a safe start to the school year so we’re asking drivers to be extra careful on our roads and watch for children.” “The start of the school year is a busy time for children and a return back to regular routines for parents,” said John Dickinson, ICBC’s director of road safety. “That’s why we’re encouraging parents to start talking to their children now about using extra caution when the school season begins. Even older children should

be reminded to remove earbuds and headphones when walking and always make eye contact with drivers.” Here are ICBC’s tips for drivers, parents and students to help everyone stay safe as school returns: Tips for drivers When school is back in session, don’t forget that every school day, unless otherwise posted, a 30 km/h speed limit is in effect in school zones from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. When you’re dropping off your children in school zones, stop and allow them to exit the car on the side closest to the sidewalk. Never allow a child to cross mid-block. If a vehicle is stopped in front of you or in the lane next to you, they may be yielding to a pedestrian, so be prepared to stop. Always yield to pedestrians – it’s the law. School buses will be back on our roads. Vehicles approaching from both directions must stop for school buses when their lights are flashing. Before getting into your vehicle, make a habit of walking around your vehicle

to make sure no small children are behind it. Always look for pedestrians when you’re backing up. Tips for parents and students: Post these safety tips in your home and review them with your children – even older children need to be reminded about road

safety. Remove your headphones and put away your phone or other gadgets when crossing the street. Focus on the road so you can see, hear and respond safely. Make eye contact with drivers, so you both know you see each other. Road safety lessons should be fun and interactive. Teach your child to cross at intersections that have a pedestrian crossing light or a marked crosswalk whenever possible. Even at a crosswalk, be aware of traffic and always make sure that vehicles are stopped before walking. Use designated crossing points and follow pedestrian traffic signs and signals. Dress to be seen. Wear bright or light coloured clothing. In dark or bad weather, wear reflective material on clothes or accessories.

player and coach. Aulakh plans to use the funds to pursue her bachelors degree in commerce at the University of British Columbia. “Envision is proud to assist such deserving

VIPAN AULAKH students with their educational pursuits,” says Envision Financial President Shelley Besse. “Envision is committed to making a real difference in the lives of our members and communities. Whether through

BA Backpack safety can prevent serious injuries

Trips and falls on the playground may account for the majority of injuries that send school children to the nurse’s office, but backpacks cause their fair share of injuries as well. Children routinely carry more than the recommended weight

in school backpacks and, compounding the problem, also carry their bags incorrectly. Doctors recommend that a child’s backpack should weigh no more than 10 to 20 percent of the child’s body weight. However, this figure should be adjusted based on a child’s fit-

ness level and strength. That means that the average seven-yearold second grader who weighs between 55 and 60 pounds should be carrying no more than 11 to 12 pounds in his or her backpack. A backpack that is too heavy may cause: Q Red marks on the

shoulders or back from the straps Q Tingling or numbness in the arms and back Q Changes in posture when wearing the backpack, and Q Pain anywhere in the back. To compound these problems, which also

e m s! o t c el n W tude S

2013-14 School Opening Information

may include nerve damage resulting from pressure on nerves in the shoulders, children should lighten their loads and carry backpacks correctly. The following tips are some additional ways youngsters can prevent backpack-related injuries. Q Carry only necessary items. Children should only carry what is required for that particular school day in their backpacks. If teachers routinely have students carry home many heavy books, parents can consult with the teachers to see if there are other options. Q Distribute weight evenly.

Items in the backpack should be spread out to distribute the weight across the entire back. Heavier items should be at the bottom of the pack. Q Use both straps. Using only one strap shifts the backpack weight to one side, causing the back and

shoulders to strain. Many orthopedists have reported treating children with back or shoulder pain as the result of carrying backpacks incorrectly. Q Lift safely. Children should lift their backpacks by bending their knees and lifting to protect their backs. There are some safety features parents can look for when purchasing backpacks. A padded back reduces pressure on the muscles and can be more comfortable, while compression straps make the backpack more sturdy. Additionally, reflective material on the backpack can make the child more visible to motorists.

Tips for quick weeknight meals Enjoying a meal together on a weeknight is a goal for many families. But adults often find themselves pressed for time on weeknights, and that time crunch can make it difficult to enjoy a home-cooked meal. But time is not the only thing getting in the way of family meals. Be it after school activities, long commutes or late hours at the office, many things can make it difficult for a family to sit down and enjoy a meal together. Studies have shown that families who eat together tend to eat healthier, as parents can more effectively monitor their kids’ diets. While it may not be feasible for parents and kids to scale back their busy schedules, there are steps parents can take to make weeknight meal

preparation quicker. By shortening the time it takes to make meals on weeknights, families might be able to sit down to dinner together more often. Q The most effective way to make more time for family meals is to plan ahead. Planning meals on the fly encourages everyone to fend for themselves, making it difficult for families to enjoy nutritious meals they can eat together. Plan for the coming week’s meals on the weekend, when you can survey your pantry and make a trip to the grocery store if need be. Q Dinner does not have be served hot, and cold meals often take less time to prepare. Consider serving salad or sandwiches on those nights when you are espe-

food should not take much time to cook, as even those dishes that take more time than simpler dishes like sauteed shrimp will still take less than 30 minutes to complete. Q Leftovers are often relegated to lunch, but extras from a meal cooked over the weekend can be used as a quick go-to meal on a hectic weeknight. If the family enjoyed the meal the first time around, there’s no reason they won’t enjoy it again. When eating leftovers for dinner, make sure the leftovers are fresh, but try to avoid serving leftovers the night after they were initially cooked. Enjoy meals as a family is a great way for families to eat healthy and stay engaged in one another’s lives.

cially pressed for time. When serving sandwiches, serve them on whole grain bread to add some nutritional value to the meal. Q Turn breakfast into dinner. There are no laws regarding what qualifies as dinner and what does not, so families without much time on their hands on a weeknight can turn breakfast into dinner. Eggs are both quick and easy to prepare, and they can be served alongside toast and grapefruit. When making omelets for dinner, add some spinach or another vegetable to make the meal more nutritious. Q Lean on seafood more often. Seafood can be healthy and delicious, but that’s not the only reason it’s an ally to time-strapped families. Sea-

Watch for and reduce back-to-school anxiety Back to school can be a stressful time for some children, but there are ways for parents to help. “The start of the school year can be a really positive time, full of new opportunities for young people, but it can also be overwhelming for some,” explained Dr. Connie Coniglio, B.C. Mental Health and Addiction Services. “If your child isn’t looking forward to school, they may be experiencing stress or anxiety. While some children and youth thrive on the back-to-school excitement, others may need a calming, reassuring environment to support them during this transition.” Anxiety — feeling worried, nervous, fearful — is normal from time to time in adults and children, but it’s a problem if your child seems to be anxious often when other children of the same age are typically not Signs and symptoms to watch for: Q Attempts to remain at home or with caregiver Q Refusal to attend school on certain days (field trips) Q Refusal to eat in public Q Refusal to use public bathrooms Q Extreme shyness, avoiding so-

cial situations or events Q Tantrums, crying, screaming Q Constant worrying Q Physical complaints with no medical explanation (stomach aches, headaches, difficulty catching breath) Q Seeking comfort/reassurance Tips for parents and caregivers: Provide regular routines – morning, school, homework, bedtime Provide clear expectations, limits and consequences Plan for transitions – getting to school, returning to school after breaks Help your child identify his or her feelings – nervous, intimidated, shy Pay attention to your child’s feelings Ask your child if they have ideas or solutions for a particular concern Show yourself identifying your own feelings, problem solving and being brave Remain calm when your child is anxious Hold realistic expectations that are right for child’s age Praise and reward even their small accomplishments.

How to buy school clothes without busting your budget Parents often note that kids seem to grow like weeds. Pants that once reached to the tops of a youngster’s feet quickly become too short, while once-loose shirts may soon become too snug. Many parents find themselves regularly in children’s clothing departments stocking up on the basics, which can put quite a dent in already stretched-thin

budgets. Although children’s wardrobes are added to at various times of the year, the bulk of shopping occurs just before the school year begins. Though clothing can be expensive, families need not bust their budgets when shopping for kids’ clothing. By shopping smart and concentrating on fashion staples, it’s easier to stretch

money further. Q Spread out purchases. Staggering purchases also enables parents to develop a clothing allowance each and every month instead of having one large bill at a certain point in the year. Parents can even add to their children’s wardrobes during the holiday season, when clothes tend to get reduced again for holiday sales. Q Don’t discount hand-me-downs. Q Take stock of what you already have. Q Invest in the right high-quality pieces. Spending a fortune for a trendy pair of pants that may end up getting ruined on the playground is not the best way to shop for kids’ clothing. However, investing in a quality pair of shoes that will last much of the year is a good investment. Know when to splurge and when it’s okay to shop at the discount store. Q Stock up on staples. A straight-leg cut of jeans, some solid coloured polo shirts and an A-line dress or skirt

are some classic foundation pieces for children’s wardrobes. Such items tend to last longer than trendy items that may only last a few months before the next trend arrives. Q Learn to layer. Layering items can make pieces look like new by putting them together in different combinations. Layering a summer T-shirt under a fall hoodie gets use out of two different season’s worth of clothes. It also enables kids to be comfortable during unpredictable weather. Q Leave it to the kids. Parents often worry about what other parents will think of their own children’s clothing. Children do not typically worry about such things until their preteen or teenage years. You may spend less money on clothing simply because your child has a few favourite shirts and pants he or she wears over and over. That’s less laundry for you and less money you have to spend on new clothes.

Magee, Francis Berry Aug 17, 1919 - Aug 15, 2013 Francis Berry Magee, a long time resident of Abbotsford, passed away on August 15, just 2 days short of his 94th birthday. Frank was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland on August 17, 1919. His family moved to the Interior of BC when he was 4, settling in the Salmon Arm area at Gleneden, near Tappen. Frank joined the RCAF in 1942 and served in Bomber Command in heavy Lancasters. Between the fall of 1943 and March 1944, his crew carried out multiple ops over Europe. When ND641 was shot down March 24/25, 1944, Frank was rescued and hidden for months by the courageous men and women of the Dutch and Belgian underground; he later repaid this kindness by sponsoring the emigration to Canada of his primary rescuer, the late Hank Van Geuns. After the war, Frank had a long career in municipal administration in Abbotsford and Maple Ridge BC, retiring in 1984. He and his late wife Vera enjoyed many years at Mill Lake Estates prior to moving to Osoyoos in 2008. Frank is pre-deceased by his son John (1995) and his wife Vera (2012) and is survived by his loving daughters Roena (Ken) and Verna (John). He had a long and honourable life and we will miss him. The wonderful care of the staff at Mariposa Gardens in Osoyoos for the last few years is greatly appreciated by the family.

One of Missions finest character homes. This home was built in 1911 according to BC Assessment and has always been in the same family. The outside bricks were transported from Ontario at the builders request and the inside, even though in need of love, has all of the charm. This home could be easily converted back to a full single residence with living area down & bedrooms up. The attic space would make a great studio or bedroom. All this history comes with a large 10370 sq.ft. double lot and a wonderful view!

Nice curb appeal in this older 3 bdrm home! Home is in need of some TLC and is ideal for the handyman or a young family looking for a home willing to work sweat equity. Living facilities are up with a wood F/P in the living room, and dining room has sliding glass door leading to an enclosed glass deck and steps down to a semi private fenced back yard. Downstairs has a rec room, bedroom and laundry facilities with a 3 piece bathroom, utility room and a large separate storage area. Great investment!!
