Family homeless after morning fire Carol Aun MISSION RECORD

Katelyn Gagnon was dreaming of hosting a large Christmas dinner for family and friends at her Stave Falls home when she was awakened Wednesday morning by shouts from her common-law husband, Ryan. The house was on fire. He grabbed the couple’s two-year-old son, Hunter, and Katelyn reached for blankets, cellphones and bolted towards the exit. Flames were rolling into the house from the roof as the trio ran to the front door, but fire blocked their path. Katelyn could feel melting tar drip onto her skin as they jumped out a nearby window one by one. Within minutes, the house was engulfed in flames, and shock settled in. It was 4 a.m. and cold. Snow that had fallen earlier in the day was still clinging to the ground on their Bell Street property. Beyond distraught, Katelyn called 911 and yelled at the dispatcher. A normal two-minute walk to the end of her driveway took 20 minutes. There was propane

and a lot of ammunition stored in the garage, and they wanted to get far away if anything detonated. It was the initial explosion that had roused Ryan, who discovered the fire when he got out of bed to investigate.

present. The family won’t be allowed on the property until investigators finish their work. It appears the fire started at the south end of the property, where the garage is located, said Capt. Mike Schmidt,

I feel like Christmas has been taken from me; my house has been taken from me. KATELYN GAGNON The blast woke their neighbours as well, and they offered warm clothing and blankets to Katelyn and her family. “I’m still shaking,” said Katelyn, more than six hours after fleeing her home. “I feel like Christmas has been taken from me; my house has been taken from me.” Because of the trees around the property, Mission firefighters encountered challenges to get a water supply, and crews had to use hand lines, said Fire Chief Larry Watkinson. Afterwards, firefighters went back inside the house to salvage what they could for they family. They brought out baskets of clothes, and a wrapped Christmas

fire prevention officer. “It’s pretty heart-wrenching,” said Katelyn. Renting the home for more than three years, the family will be put up in a hotel for three days by emergency services, and Katelyn doesn’t know where they’ll go after that. She’s not sure how she’ll explain the loss to Hunter and her six-yearold son, who was sleeping at a friend’s house when the fire occurred. They are thankful nobody was injured, but don’t have content insurance to cover their losses and will be relying on their friends and family for support to get them through the holiday season.

Christmas Bureau donations are extremely low Carol Aun MISSION RECORD

Donations to the Christmas Bureau this year are as low as they’ve ever been. Food, cash and toy donations are all down, said Phil Hope, Mission Community Service Society’s Christmas Bureau coordinator.

“We got next to nothing at the [Candlelight] parade,” Hope explained. Volunteers bundled up and drove up and down First Avenue Friday night to collect donations, but few were collected. “It’s the lowest we’ve ever received in the 14

years since I’ve been involved,” said Hope. The only time fewer donations were gathered at the event was when it was cancelled a few years ago. Fewer than 30 families are being sponsored this year and the number of businesses putting up Wish Trees

to collect toy donations declined by 20 per cent. Meanwhile, the Christmas Bureau has only raised about 20 per cent of its $150,000 goal this year. The funds and donations are used to serve clients at Christmas time and throughout

the rest of the year when the bureau operates as the food centre. The program does not receive government funding, noted Hope, and the holiday season is when most of the donations come in. More than 600 families have registered

to receive Christmas hampers, and Hope predicts that number will climb by another 100 before the campaign is over. “If everyone helped a little bit, it would add up to a lot,” said Hope. “There’s nothing that’s too small.” Bring your dona-

tions to the Christmas Bureau located in the Junction Mall beside The Source and TD Bank. Hours of operation are Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information call 604-814-3333.

Festive sights and sounds Hundreds attend annual Candlelight Parade Carol Aun MISSION RECORD

Hundreds of people braved the sub-zero temperatures to watch this year’s Candlelight Parade Friday night in downtown Mission. Dressed from head to toe in as many warm layers as possible, spectators came prepared with camping chairs and several warm blankets. For many people, the parade is an annual traditional that jumpstarts the holiday season. Others, like one-year-old Moira, enjoyed the event for the first time with her parents, Kelly and Mike. “We expected numbers to be down and even some floats to pull out, but were surprised by the crowd and the effort put into this year’s floats,” said Cal Crawford, Candlelight Parade chair. Eighty-one floats entered, and in addition to the holiday theme, this year’s parade also focused on the upcoming B.C. Winter Games, which will be held Feb. 20-23. Several entries also featured Olympic rings, and athletes were sprinkled throughout the parade. There were five categories judged in this year’s parade: Marching Battalion, Non-profit, School, Commercial, and Best in Game to celebrate the 2014 B.C. Winter Games.

THE WINNERS ARE AS FOLLOWS: Marching Battalion 1. Mission Sun Hang Do Martial Arts 2. MEI Screaming Eagles 3. Abby Senior Drumline and 521 Aurora Cadet

A blaze at the Abbey

Volunteers who work with children and vulnerable adults now qualify for free criminal record checks under B.C.’s Criminal Records Review Program.

Mission firefighters battled freezing temperatures Saturday night to put out a stubborn fire at one of the workshops on the Westminster Abbey grounds. The fire was reported around 11:40 p.m. Saturday, said Mission Fire Chief Larry Watkinson, who noted the building was difficult to access. “It was an all night fire – really stubborn.” There was a lot of equipment inside the wood shop along with fuel load and combustibles, Watkinson explained. The structure also had a tin roof. The blaze started outside the building, near a saw dust box, and travelled inside through the roof. The fire was large on arrival, said the fire chief, “but we managed to get a good handle on it.” Nobody was inside at the time and firefighters eventually quelled the flames and around 4:30 a.m. Sunday. Investigators are still determining the cause of the fire, and Watkinson noted it doesn’t appear suspicious.

Keep seasonal worry in perspective

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

about giving big gifts, but not at the cost of civility and peace of mind. There are any number of inexpensive ways of celebrating the holiday season that don’t require busting your bank balance or losing your mind. Try asking the people in the stores, nicely, and you might discover some clever alternatives. So this Christmas, a suggestion: if you feel yourself starting to get anxious or angry, pause and take a deep breath and try to keep things in their proper perspective. Try smiling. Do something nice like holding a door open or letting a driver merge in front. It doesn’t cost a thing. Keep in mind, this is all supposed to be honouring the memory of someone who lived an impoverished life devoted to the less fortunate. Someone whose sacrifice might be better celebrated with a little more gratitude for the people in our lives and a little less drama at the tills this season. – Black Press

Is it too soon to urge a little peace and good will this Christmas? Probably not. We’ve all seen the alternative, and it isn’t pretty. Some of us, it seems, are so busy pursuing the material side of the holidays that we’ve lost sight of the spirit. Stressed-out shoppers grimly hunting bargains in the aisles, screaming kids with surly parents and couples who look like they’re going to a funeral instead of experiencing the joy of the season. In short, people who bring their bad mood into a retail outlet to share with the staff and other consumers. Examples of bad behavior abound, and while this can be a tough time of year if your finances are tight, it doesn’t have to be a fiscal or emotional crisis. After all, the most expensive item in the store is no gift at all if the giver is grinding their teeth about the cost and the resulting damage to their credit rating. There’s nothing intrinsically wrong

LAST WEEK WE ASKED: Do you agree with waiving public hearings for downtown projects? Here’s how you responded:

Yes 27% No 73%

Ottawa puts on pipeline push Tom Fletcher

B.C. Views The federal government stepped up its sales pitch for new pipelines to the B.C. coast last week, as it prepares for the imminent release of the federal review panel’s report on the feasibility of the Enbridge Northern Gateway project. Transport Minister Lisa Raitt and Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver arrived in Vancouver to release an expert panel’s report on the current state of tanker safety on the West Coast. It was the first of two reports that tell the Stephen Harper government in blunt terms how steep a hill it must climb to enable energy exports to Asia. Oliver gave a speech to the Vancouver Board of Trade the following morning, where he vowed to implement one of the panel’s key recommendations. Legislation is coming to ensure that polluters, not taxpayers, must pay for any environmental damage from re-

source development and transport. The panel was chaired by Gordon Houston, a former Prince Rupert harbourmaster and CEO of Port Metro Vancouver. Its report details the little-noticed fact that coastal waters around Victoria and Vancouver are already congested with shipping traffic, including Alaska oil tankers, and are at “very high risk” of an incident. Of course that “very high risk” should be seen in the B.C. context, where there has never been a serious oil spill at sea in a century of continuous petroleum shipping. The report calls for potential polluters to show they are prepared for a “worst case” discharge like the 1989 Exxon Valdez grounding in Alaska. It tells Ottawa the Canadian Coast Guard must be properly funded to serve as incident command. Oliver recounted efforts made so far, including annual tanker inspections, increased aerial surveillance and marine markers. And he reminded his audience that Canada’s only energy export customer, the U.S., is about to surpass Saudi Arabia as the world’s largest petroleum producer. The second federal report was from Doug Eyford, a lawyer who has been meeting

for months with aboriginal communities in northern B.C. and Alberta.

Of course that “very high risk” should be seen in the B.C. context... He found, as Enbridge has reported, that many aboriginal communities are working with energy producers to get the economic activity they so desperately need. (Most urban people likely don’t believe this, because the conflict-addicted media report mostly protests.) Eyford’s report is no whitewash either. It reminds Ottawa that B.C.’s unresolved aboriginal title and a general lack of trust of both the energy industry and the federal government are key obstacles to the largest economic opportunity in the world today, the rise of Asia. Eyford was dealing with the profusion of

gas pipeline projects that are set to cross northern B.C., as well as the Enbridge and Kinder Morgan Canada oil proposals. The entrenched opposition is against oil, particularly heavy oil in tankers. Politics and protesters aside, these are the facts for B.C. The prosperous provinces in Canada today are Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland, based mainly on energy development. The rest are struggling. B.C. continues to lose skilled workers to Alberta, where oil sands development continues to expand despite the continuing chorus of U.S.-financed misrepresentation of its environmental impact. It’s a key moment in Canadian history. This is where we see if we can go beyond our status as a client state of the U.S. This year’s B.C. election, where pandering to urban protest backfired on the NDP, suggests a new seriousness in the public mood. More people understand today that our comfortable modern society with free-access health care is a fragile thing. We have it better than most of the world, for now.

either of those been ignited, the whole block of homes could have been lost. It was only by the supreme efforts of the firefighters that these structures were saved. Only one permanent resident was displaced during this event and with the assistance of family, the local Emergency Social Services, local residents, the HVHA and a number of generous residents from the Deroche, Harrison Mills and Lake Errock communities, she has found a new place to live at Hemlock and been able to start to put her life back together. The HVHA and those whose homes were spared wish to express their appreciation to all the volunteer firefighters who participated in the firefighting efforts and to those who stayed on site for the following days to suppress hot spots that continued to reignite. Thanks also goes to the support people who assisted by bringing coffee, food and whatever was needed by those on the front lines, and to those fire department members and community volunteers who spend hours afterwards to clean and put firefighting equipment back where it belongs so they are ready to respond to the next emergency.

differences rather than examining common ground. After almost every public hearing, there is a group that feels they have been defeated, and this has a very damaging effect on people’s trust in both government and business. The fact is that any citizen can (and should) be in contact with the members of their council, legislature and parliament readily and frequently. It is an illusion that we need a formal process or a large group to have our say. In the same way as we would engage our child’s teacher, we must be prepared to engage our community’s caretakers. This often means simply making a phone call, sending an email,

Downtown planning is part of the community’s OCP and it’s an area that’s been given special attention since January 2013. That planning process has involved numerous collaborative public engagements, including open houses, a charette and workshops. Both before and during my time on council, I sat through many public hearings, including two of the longest in Canadian history. I can testify that these are usually not effective processes for collaborating or building consensus. To the contrary, they often polarize people, creating deep tensions within the community. Public hearings have the effect of magnifying

On the evening of Nov. 6th at about 11 p.m. a fire broke out in a duplex structure in the village at Hemlock Valley. Volunteer firefighters living in the village responded and additional manpower and equipment was dispatched from neighbouring fire departments. At the height of the fire, two duplexes plus a large single-family cabin were fully ablaze and neighbouring homes were threatened. In addition to the Hemlock Valley Volunteer Fire Department, firefighters and equipment were on the scene from North Fraser Fire Department, Agassiz Fire Department and even some from Chilliwack River Valley Volunteer Fire Department made the long trek to assist. In all 29 firefighters and seven pieces of firefighting apparatus were on scene along with the B.C. Ambulance Service and the RCMP. When the fire was extinguished, the duplexes and cabin were completely destroyed, and two neighbouring cabins suffered damage. The Hemlock Valley Homeowners Association (HVHA) extends sincere condolences to those who suffered losses in this tragic event. Miraculously, two other neighbouring duplex cabins were saved from damage. It is thought that had

Like most people, my first response was a negative one when I heard the news that public hearings were to be removed from the approval process for downtown developments. But with some reflection, I have changed my perspective and I hope others will pause to look at this situation a little deeper too. The removal of public hearings doesn’t mean that council has eliminated all opportunities for public input. The law would never allow that to happen; Section 890(4) of the Community Charter only allows council to waive public hearings if a planned development already conforms to the official community plan (OCP).

Canine will be more than just a family pet Carol Aun MISSION RECORD

Most children have dogs as loyal companions. The play together, sleep together and look out for one another. But for three-year-old Jaxon Bruce, his dog could save his life. About six months ago, Jaxon was diagnosed with stage two autism spectrum disorder and is receiving full-time intervention. Instead of feeling sorry or upset with the finding, Hollie, Jaxon’s mom, says they are fortunate the toddler was diagnosed at such a young age. We know with therapy and resources, Jaxon can fit right in when he starts school, Hollie explained. One of the tools the Bruce family is working on is a service dog trained to calm the young boy and track him when he runs away. With the new pet by their side, Hollie is hopeful she can accomplish every day errands, like going to the bank or grocery store, without Jaxon throwing any tantrums.

Friends and family are trying to raise $25,000 to buy a service dog for three-year-old Mission resident, Jaxon Bruce, who was diagnosed with autism about six months ago. CAROL AUN PHOTO In many ways, Hollie’s son looks and acts like any other child. “People don’t know he faces many challenges. It’s hard to take him out,” said Hollie, explaining the tantrums turn into meltdowns all the time when they are out of their home because there is too much stimulation for him and he doesn’t know how to

$300,000 donation starts Mission Possible campaign Carol Aun MISSION RECORD

A $300,000 donation from the Mission Healthcare Auxiliary Society (MHAS) has kickstarted a fundraising campaign to equip the new seniors care facility with extra amenities, furnishings, and other comforts. The Residence in Mission is a 200-bed facility that is currently being constructed on the grounds of Mission Memorial Hospital. It will replace the Dr. Stuart Pavilion and Pleasantview Care Home. The 75 residents from Dr. Stuart Pavilion, who moved to Ebenezer Care Home in Abbotsford in 2012 while the building was being redeveloped,

will be moving back to Mission by April. The Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation (FVHCF) is leading the fundraising efforts and hope to raise at least $1 million for the project. “We set a modest goal of $500,000 for the first phase of the campaign,” said Vicki Raw, FVHCF executive director. “Thanks to the generosity of the auxiliary, we expect to move into the second phase, increasing our goal to $750,000 early in April.” And with enough momentum from the campaign, the target will be moved to $1 million. Gifts of $1,000 will get your name on the donor board, and with $2,500, you can have

Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation executive director, Vicki Raw, accepts a $300,000 cheque from Mission Healthcare Auxiliary Society president, Cynthia Butcher, and the rest of the members last week to mark the beginning of its Mission Possible campaign. CAROL AUN PHOTO your contribution recognized on a bench. Raw has proposed to name the central courtyard after the MHAS for their significant contribution. The name has to be approved by Victoria, explained Raw. MHAS has a long history of raising money

for Mission Memorial and other local health care facilities to help with the purchase of equipment and patient comfort items. The Residence in Mission will provide residential care and specialized day programs for older adults living

in the community. Supportive staff will assist residents with social and clinical needs. To make a donation to the Mission Possible campaign, contact coordinator Ron Coreau at ron@fvhcf.org or call the foundation office at 604-814-5190.

of Choice

Please see our Website at: www.mpsd.ca

I often wonder what atheists do when they are faced with a serious crisis or problem. Who do they call upon for help or guidance? Perhaps they call upon themselves to muster the courage and strength to face these ordeals, or perhaps they rely on the strength and wisdom of their friends and professional people to see them through. I realize that young people often feel that they are indestructible and can handle any crisis situation they face. However, as we grow older we usually have a more mature and realistic view of life. With age, we learn that we are destructible and that life can be very fragile. I cannot imagine getting through a day without God’s help and love. Everyone has problems that must be faced, and there are times when we may feel that no one cares about us or our problems. But it is nice to know that God cares and loves us, and He is only a prayer away. Our Heavenly Father loves the skeptics as well as the believers. He only wants us to trust and confide in Him.

Council reviewing presentation policy

The Mission Record Friday, December 13, 2013 11

We love living at Carrington House RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

Move aims to minimize late delegations and clarify topics Carol Aun MISSION RECORD

Mission council will be reviewing its policy for delegations after a couple of recent presentations troubled some politicians. Coun. Jenny Stevens says she is increasingly concerned about last-minute presentations appearing before a meeting. In the most recent example, Kim Walker tried to convince council to rename Silverdale Park to Fujikawa Park after her grandparents. People should only be permitted to appear at the last minute when something has come out of the blue they feel strongly about, said Stevens, who noted Walker has been working with district staff for close to a year and she could have applied to be a delegation at any time, but she chose Dec. 2 at the last minute

because the issue was on the night’s agenda. Council votes before each meeting to allow late delegations, and

clarify the parameters surrounding topics on which people can present. “Can someone just

Can someone just come and present whatever they want? COUN. DAVE HENSMAN Stevens, who wanted to make a point, was the only one to vote against allowing Walker to speak before council. Since September, there have been five late delegations before council. Each delegation is given 10 minutes to speak to council, and late presenters are allowed five minutes. However, many times that limit is exceeded, and often councillors also offer comments or ask questions. Coun. Dave Hensman also wanted to

come and present whatever they want?” he asked. “I would think it has to be something under the municipal mandate to deal with.” Hensman’s request would “weed out” some presenters, such as the Dec. 2 delegation asking council to sign the Charter for Compassion to symbolize the way of life for the community. Presenter Artur Gryz explained the move would create an identity for the town, create better relationships

among residents, and make Mission memorable. There would also be opportunities for tourism and investment. While all councillors said the principle was worthy, most didn’t support a motion to have staff look into the issue. “I don’t know why we would rely on staff for a report of this nature,” commented Coun. Larry Nundal. “It’s not technical … but I feel it’s a waste of staff time.” You can’t make people compassionate by signing the charter, he said. Compassion comes from the heart and it will be difficult to label a community that way, said Coun. Tony Luck. Coun. Jenny Stevens said there is a lot of compassion in Mission already. “I experience compassion in this community every day of my life.”

CUPE ratifies deal with school district Carol Aun

MISSION RECORD

Mission school district CUPE workers will have to wait until next year for their new contract to be implemented. Union members voted

96 per cent in favour of the new agreement reached with Mission Public Schools earlier this month, but the contract must be approved by the B.C. Public School Employers Association

(BCPSEA). According to a Ministry of Education spokesperson, BCPSEA will not ratify agreements until January. Details of the local contract are not being

released until then, according to CUPE 593 president George Forsythe. The Provincial Framework Agreement, which all school districts took into consideration when

negotiating the local deals, included a 3.5 per cent wage increase over three years from July 2012 to June 2014. In Mission, that would cost the local school district about $350,000. Both Forsythe and the local school board had hoped the province would cover the increases, similar to the arrangement made for the B.C. Teachers’ Fed-

eration, but have been told that will not happen. Instead, the ministry has given the local board the green light to add that to the existing debt. Last year school district 75 had a $3.9 million deficit and is scheduled to be out of debt in 2015. “The only thing this prevents is layoffs,” said Heinrichs. “Any surplus

we have goes towards debt repayment.” Students will lose resources because the government is not funding the raises, said Heinrichs. There are more than 440 CUPE members in the Mission school district, including supervision assistants, trades people, custodians, bus drivers and other support staff.

Highway crash rates released Hot holiday deals from Koodo. SAMSUNG GALAXY S III

The most dangerous highway near the Lower Mainland in terms of collision frequency is Highway 3 from Hope to Princeton, followed by the Lougheed Highway from Mission to Hope. The Hope-Princeton highway through Manning Park has a crash rate of 0.87 collisions per million vehicle kilometres travelled. That’s nearly twice as high as the crash rate of around 0.45 per million kilometres on Highway 1 from Abbotsford to

Hope and on the Sea To Sky Highway from North Vancouver to Whistler. The crash rate for Highway 7 from Mission to Hope was also higher than the rest of the region at 0.68. The data was released Nov. 29 by the transportation ministry as part of a new review of rural highway speeds and safety. Several highways on Vancouver Island – including the Malahat between Victo-

ria and Nanaimo and routes from Victoria to Port Renfrew, Parksville to Tofino, and Duncan to Lake Cowichan – also had crash rates of around .65 or above. The worst crash rate in B.C. is 2.06 collisions per million kilometres on the Anahim Lake to Bella Coola highway. The crash rate on the Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Merritt is 0.56 compared to 0.40 on Highway 1 through the Fraser Canyon from Hope to Cache Creek.

MISSION

Mission’s Madeleine Engh says music has been a hobby of hers throughout her life.

2014 BC WINTER GAMES FEBRUARY 20-23

SUBMITTED

Senior singer lands recording contract Alina Konevski ABBOTSFORD NEWS

Mission resident Madeleine (Maddy) Engh wants everyone to know it’s never too late. The 77-year-old singer recently signed her first record deal for a country western album called, ‘A Babe of Her Own.’ “It’s fantastic. It’s a realization of a lifelong dream. It’s pretty amazing. My head’s spinning,” she said. Engh is a farmer who is known locally for her Christmas tree

business in Mission. But she has also spent years renovating houses, and knows every aspect of running a farm. Music has been a dear hobby her whole life. She has guitars strewn about the living room, as well as an accordion, mandolin, violin, and a mouth organ elsewhere in the house. “I’ve written songs since I was 10 years old, and I’ve been trying to get them to people in the recording industry in all these years,” she said.

Engh was inspired to renew her effort to get her voice out there after seeing an older gentleman performing a song on TV for his late wife. She thought it might not be too late for her. Her first album is “very down-home country,” she said. “I sing about life experiences, things I’ve seen, sometimes things I’ve experienced.” But she’ll also go on a whim and flip open a dictionary to write a song about the word that pops up, as she

did with ‘Evergreen.’ This first album was intended to be a demo, but SMT Records liked it enough to release. “I had no intention of being a singer. I was just bringing [the producer] my songs,” said Engh. With hundreds of songs stacked away, Engh is already working on her second album, into which she is investing meticulous care. Maddy Engh’s first CD, A Babe of Her Own, is available online through SMT Records.

New initiative aims to prevent injuries Jason Roessle

ABBOTSFORD NEWS

A Mission man’s idea to help prevent injuries in the shake and shingle industry has resulted in a series of graphic posters placed in local mills. Dennis Clark has been working for nearly five years on improving workplace literacy, and in 2011 started a process between himself, Mission Literacy in Motion, the University of the Fraser Valley and WorkSafe BC to find ways to improve safety. “Shake and shingle mills are one of the most dangerous classifications” in WorkSafe BC terms, said Clark, adding that low liter-

acy levels are a contributing factor to many workplace accidents. According to WorkSafe BC’s Gordon Thorne, there are seven graphic posters, and two videos, one done fully in Punjabi. The posters are placed adjacent to machines showing the correct procedure for numerous tasks (as seen in the image to the right), and consequences of improper practices. “I think this is the tip of the iceberg for what can be accomplished for workplace literacy,” said Clark. “One of the more unique aspects of this project is that it was industry people who drove the changes,” said Thorne.

“Dennis Clark was an important part of that process. He brought concerns that mills had with workers trying to understand safety literature,” said Thorne. Clark’s years in the industry helped make the endeavour a success, as he followed up and visited 15 mills in a six-week span and found 13 had complied and mounted the posters, Thorne noted. UFV was integral to the project’s success, said Clark, who singled out the contributions of Ian Hunt, Gloria Borrows and Sue Brigden. The university was involved in the original stakeholder process and supported the concept from the beginning, he said.

Christmas: the best time to

acknowledge customer loyalty T

he holiday season is full of good will and many take this opportunity to acknowledge longstanding customers with holiday greetings and gifts. Thinking twice about it this year due to the economic climate and really, is it just warm and fuzzy and a costly expense? Understand that identifying and recognizing your loyal customers will have a direct impact on your ROI, better than any other marketing tool. Loyalty runs hand-in-hand with emotions. Customer loyalty is the result of consistently positive emotional experience, physical attribute-based satisfaction and perceived value of an experience, which includes the product or services. Investing in your relationships with present customers creating an increased retention of 5% can increase profitability between 25% and 85%. Increased profitability associated with customer retention efforts occurs because of several factors that happen once the relationship has been established: The cost of acquisition occurs only at the beginning of a relationship Long-term customers tend to be less inclined to switch, and also tend to be less price sensitive. Long-term customers may initiate free word of mouth promotions and referrals. Long-term customers are more likely to purchase ancillary products and high margin supplemental products. Customers that stay with you tend to

5. Keep an open mind. If you walk into a customer meeting absolutely convinced that the customer needs your offering, the customer will sense you're closeminded...and become close-minded in return. 6. Be willing to recommend competitors. When you're open to the idea that the customer might be better served elsewhere, your customer will begin thinking of you as a trusted adviser and consultant rather than all about the sale. 7. Have real conversations. A customer meeting should be a conversation and never a "sales call." Always spend more time listening to the customer rather than talking to the customer. 8.

Storage for Your Life assistant manager Melanie Porter can help you with all your self-storage and U-Haul requirements. MISSION RECORD PHOTO

Storage for Your Life: Where storage is more than just a locker By Kathleen Rake , Click Media Works Solutions, security and service are promised and delivered at Storage for Your Life (SFYL) on North Railway Ave. in Mission. In fact, those three words are the credo of the entire family-owned and -operated organization, which includes additional facilities in Surrey, Langley and Coquitlam. “We work hard to show our customers that storage is much more than just a locker,” said Ivan Martinez, marketing manager for the self-storage company. “We’ll take you on a tour of the facility and consult with you so you choose the right storage unit – one that is right in size, application and budget. We can show you how to get more use out of less space.” Along with indoor storage units of various sizes, SFYL provides secure outdoor RV parking and flexible rental periods. “You can rent a secure locker for a day, week, month or some other time configuration,” said Martinez. The facility is bright, clean and welcoming. Assistant man-

ager Melanie Porter is available most days to answer your questions in person, by phone or online. ”We have a familyand-friends self-storage promotion on right now until the end of January, 2014,” said Porter. “There are lots of extra savings and people can text ‘1freelock’ to 212121 for the coupon or call me for more information,” she added. The staff at SFYL will even receive shipments for you. “There are many small and home-based businesses in Mission that don’t have room to stock product, so they store it here. These customers can have product shipped here directly and we’ll receive it and put it away for them. Then we’ll follow-up to let them know goods have arrived,” explained Martinez. To round out their professional storage menu, SFYL recently partnered with U-Haul to provide convenient rental moving vans and trucks.

Shop first on First in Mission, encouraged Carlo Billinger, president of the Mission Downtown Business Association. “Support what’s in Mission. The month of December is an important time for many local businesses.” In addition to exceptional service, shoppers will also find unique and local gifts for everyone on their list. You’re not just another customer here, said Billinger, who co-owns Rex Cox Men’s Wear. “I challenge people to come down here and walk around. There’s a lot more here than people realize.”

PUBLIC NOTICE Council intends to enact the “District of Mission Downtown Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw 5391-2013” which establishes a revitalization tax exemption program as part of the District’s Downtown Development Incentive Program. Council’s objective in establishing the revitalization tax exemption program under the Bylaw is to encourage the revitalization of the downtown of the District of Mission through the encouragement of accelerated private investment in stand-alone or mixed commercial and residential new development and major redevelopment projects within the Mission City Downtown Action Plan area. The intent of this program is to encourage development or redevelopment within the downtown area that may not otherwise take place without this program. A plan of the Downtown Incentive Program area is available for viewing at Municipal Hall, 8645 Stave Lake Street, Mission, BC. With new development in the downtown core, it will enhance the viability and livability of Mission’s downtown. The maximum term of the tax exemption is 10 years and applies only to Municipal taxes and not school, hospital, library and other taxes normally found on the District’s tax notice. The tax exemption incentive must be applied for by December 31, 2016. For further information, please contact the Bob Wilson by email bwilson@mission.ca or call 604-820-3706

Fill the windshield washer bottle with seasonal cleaner and carry an extra container in the trunk. 4. Don’t forget to bring sunglasses – glare from snow can be hard on the eyes. 5. Wear (warm) clothes that allow good movement to steer and operate the foot pedals. 6. Bring water plus non-perishable food supplies on longer trips. 7. An emergency (first aid) kit. 8. Check the weather forecast, road conditions and for road closures on your route before heading out on a long trip. 9. Good winter tires are mandatory on most high-elevation BC highway routes during the winter. 10. If you must drive in bad weather, it’s a good idea to refuel when the tank drops below half full. If the car breaks down or gets stuck in the snow, having engine heat until help arrives could be important. Useful winter driving web sites: drivebc.ca, icbc.com

2014 Jeep Cherokee The Chrysler group is on a tear these days with month after month of consecutive

Some might not remember the old boxy Cherokee that was sold in the 1990s; it was a very simple design that appealed to diehard Jeep enthusiasts. This new Cherokee is trying to win over new buyers, not just the Jeep faithful. It might look a bit odd at first but when you are in its presence, the design actually grows on you to a pint that it has a futuristic, very modern twist on an iconic nameplate. There is a special Trailhawk version of this Cherokee that has been designed specifically for off-road, with higher front and rear bumpers to help it

traverse ditches and climb mountains. The more practical base front wheel drive (FWD) model starts at $23,495 and is the lowest priced vehicle in the compact SUV class. The All wheel drive (AWD) model is also a value leader and starts at $25,695

Inside The Cherokee is covered in soft-touch materials, comfortable seats and a large touch screen in the centre of the dash for connectivity. The base screen is 5-inches but a larger 8.4-inch screen is available on the $29,995 Limited model. In addition, all models get a second 3.5-inch screen imbedded in the instrument cluster that is fully programmable and provides custom

vehicle on the planet to come with this many cogs. Having a chance to drive it with the base 184hp 2.4L 4-cylinder through the canyons outside of Malibu California, I can report that the transmission is so smooth and refined that the driver forgets there is so much at work. The up side is the Cherokee is capable of 9.6.L/100km in the city and 6.4L on the highway. The 4-cylinder engine is a great choice for commuters and the handling is crisp and sure-footed, more like a sedan than an SUV. The optional V6 engine is the first application of the 3.2L V6 Pentastar engine. The bigger 3.6L is used across the Chrysler family but this newly developed, smaller version is wonderful value as it is only $1,300 more to equip it on any Cherokee, from the least expensive FWD model to the most

expensive AWD trim. For $1,300, you get 271hp and a lot more grunt for passing and highway runs. This would be the choice if you do a lot of highway driving to the cabin or skiing. The downside is the added weight of the V6 makes it less nimble compared to the 4-cylinder but both are excellent choices. In addition to carving though the mountains, I had a chance to drive over them in the Trailhawk off-road model. This really is the enthusiast version; it had no problem scampering up anything it came across from big boulders, to sand and mud.

Verdict The starting price is the best on the market, the technology is second to none, and the ride is smoother and quieter than the competition and the interior class above. The styling does take

a while to get used to but it does look better in person. Most people will equip the Cherokee with AWD and the middle North Edition that includes alloy wheels and added interior features for a reasonable $28,695. With the optional V6 engine, the price is $29,995. This is a lot of Jeep for the money and one that is a treat to drive. Now that Chrysler has a competent small SUV in their lineup, their position as the number two seller of vehicles looks strong for a while to come. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Mazda tops in Canada’s Top Twelve for 2014

’’

Bob McHugh

Mazda bagged three of twelve “Best New” 2014 model year category awards just announced by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). The triple award sweep (Mazda3, Mazda3 Sport and Mazda6) had to taste extra sweet as Mazda only had three entries in a field of over fifty vehicle entries. This also positions Mazda with three (of the final eight) contenders for overall 2014 Canadian Car of the Year. The 2014 Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year Award was also narrowed down to four “Best New” category award winners: the stylish all-new Jeep Cherokee (SUV/CUV under $35K), great value Kia Sorrento (SUV/CUV $35K to $60K), luxurious Acura MDX (SUV/ CUV over $60K) and the tough-as-nails GMC Sierra 1500 pickup. AJAC award wins in both

SUV/CUV category ahead of some renowned competitive products. The AJAC awards are based on a methodical secret ballot voting process that was completed by over eighty journalist members following a five-day, handson driving event known as “TestFest”, which was held earlier this year in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Same-day, back-to-back evaluations were performed on handling, performance and off-road courses (where applicable), and on public roads.

Mazda’s triple award sweep had to taste extra sweet as Mazda only had three entries in a field of over fifty vehicle entries.

Best New Small Car categories (under $21K and over $21K), gives the Mazda3, in various forms, an impressive total of nine trophies over its ten year history. The Mazda6 is also a repeat winner, with previous category wins in 2009, 2005 and 2004, its introductory year. Both the new Mazda3 and Mazda6 are now SKYACTIV-equipped vehicles and offer outstanding fuel economy. This was also a good awards event for General Motors, the recipient of two AJAC trophies in very different vehicle categories. In addition to the Best New Pickup Award, the 2014 Corvette Stingray was also voted the Best New sports Performance Car. “This is a monumental step for the Chevrolet brand and the first all-new Corvette, since the first Corvette ... we couldn’t be prouder of it,” said Rob Assimakopoulus, GM Director of Marketing, during his acceptance speech. The other double-award winning manufacturer was Kia. The Best New Family Car under $30,000 award went to the revamped Kia Soul. A new and softer rendition of its offbeat fivedoor wagon-like design plus numerous other refinements helped the surprisingly practical Soul out-perform the competition. The new Kia Sorento notched an even more impressive victory, as it was achieved in a highly competitive light-luxury

Reader reaction to our posted speed limit poll, conducted with Insights West, was, well, speedy! No sooner had the paper hit the streets, revealing that 37 percent of those polled believe a higher than 100 km/h limit should be posted on our major highways, than the emails began flying. Yours truly expressed some surprise that a majority did not share that opinion and that 55 per cent believed speed limits should be left alone. While some readers disabused me of that notion an equal number agreed. Guenter Hoernig, of Penticton, asked: “What would you gain by, say, increasing the limits by 10 or

20 km/h? A half an hour earlier in Vancouver? Well, if you don't have that extra 30 minutes, perhaps you should take the plane. Janet McGarry warned: “NASCAR inspired highways will only lead to more fatalities.” Currently, 100 km/h is the maximum on most freeways, while 110 km/h is posted on the Coquihalla Highway and parts of the Okanagan Connector. Vernon resident Brian Romaine made an interesting suggestion: “My view is that the speed sign should have a range of speed, for example instead of say 100 km/h, make it 80 to 100 MAX. From a psychological point of view, the driver then sees the lower speed

and perhaps would have less of a fixation on the max speed limit. Speed limits should be assessed by the experts to be safe for that particular highway and not necessarily increased.” Variable speed limits are used throughout Europe and seem effective. The maximum limits are posted on overhead electronic signs, which change to reflect environmental conditions and congestion. It is a recognition that speed alone is not the major cause of road carnage but excessive speed combined with over-driving the weather/road conditions does kill. “If the roads are better engineered, cars are safer . . . . then why not increase the speeds to that “average

comfortable speed” that everyone is travelling at when the police are not looking? “The police can spend more time looking for bad drivers rather than speeding drivers and maybe the general driving public will then respect them more.” Laura Tomelin shared her driving philosophy: "Do not drink and drive, but drive at your own capabilities and get the hell out of the way of other drivers who take their own risks and feel comfortable doing so!"

predecessor, the original two-seater remains the one that most people think of when the topic of T-Birds comes up.

2. 1979 Datsun 280ZX: The 280ZX had

the misfortune of following one of the all-time greatest classic sports cars, the Datsun 240/260/280Z. And it also committed the cardinal sin in the eyes of sports car enthusiasts (although not necessarily in the eyes of the buying public) of being heavier and more luxurious. It was derided by the magazines of the time as being a flashy “discomobile,” and collectors are only now starting to realize the merits of the comfy and more grownup ZX.

3. 1971 Oldsmobile Toronado: The first generation Toronado that appeared in 1966 was a stylistic and engineering tour de force. Reminiscent of the great classic Cord 810 of 1936, it was a milestone car for GM. Hardly anyone remembers its successor, the second generation Toronado. Where the ’66 broke the mold, the ’71 was the mold for generic American luxury cars of the 1970s.

4. 1976 Jaguar XJS:

This one had the extreme misfortune of replacing one of the most beautiful cars of all time, the Jaguar E-Type. So naturally, people were predisposed to hate it when it came out. Other than initial quality control issues, which have become legendary, the XJS was neither a bad nor ugly car — quite the contrary. But for Jaguar, lightning just couldn’t strike twice: There was simply no way that the XJS could be as lovely as the E-Type.

5. 1974 Ford Mustang II: The early

1970s were dark times for the automobile. The Arab Oil Embargo of 1973 put the brakes on large displacement high performance engines. What was Ford to do about cars like the Mustang, whose reputation was built on V-8 performance? Replace it with a four-cylinder version based on the Pinto, of course. Although V-6s and V-8s were offered, it was the sting of the anemic four-banger that stuck with the II until Ford replaced it in 1979 with what would become the very good and very popular Fox body Mustang.

Kia sets standard with all the bells and whistles Safety

‘‘

I was very surprised to see this many features offered as their standard package, great value for your money.

Ian Harwood

’’

In the 2014 Kia Sorento LX, there is more to see than you would expect. Have you ever seen an ad featuring something you really want, only to find out when you get there the price doesn’t include this and that and you leave feeling deflated? Well, if it is a Sorento you’re going to see, then all the bells and whistles come standard.

Looks A very stylish design, Kia’s new “design language,” blending emotion and sophistication, is the thought behind this design. Swept back headlights with a molded front bumper. Projector-style headlights and integrated turn signal lights on the side mirrors make this cross-over SUV stand out.

Interior The driver seat is an 8-way power adjustable with lumbar support and offers heating, and the rear seats are a 60/40 split folding. There is also an option to add a third row which would be a 50/50 split. There is a AM/ FM/CD/MP3 voice activated 6 speaker stereo with SiriusXM satellite radio (Includes three month

The safety features on this vehicle are vast, and here are some of the highlights. Dual advanced front airbags, dual front seat mounted side airbags, dual side curtain airbags with rollover sensor, electronic stability control, vehicle stability management , traction control system, hill assist, anti-whiplash front headrests, anti-lock braking system, automatic headlights, impact sensing auto door unlock, and back-up warning system all standard equipment.

Engine There are two gasoline direct injection engines available. The first is a 2.4-litre, 4-cylinder engine rated at 191 horsepower and the second is a 3.3-litre, gasoline direct injection V6 cylinder engine with a whopping 290 horsepower found in the LX-V6 model. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed sportmatic automatic transmission. Move the shifter to the left and you can access the upshift and down shift of the manual mode.

Roof of snow Watched a guy labour for 20 minutes the other day scraping the ice from his windshield, side and rear windows. Then he jumped in his car and took off without paying any attention to the snow on the car roof. I figured that ten minutes into his journey the snow would slide down onto his windshield, obscuring his vision and thus putting him at risk of collision with some other innocent road user. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. What drives-u-crazy? keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Roadworthy: My tester was the Sorento LX. I found the vehicle to handle very nicely around town. The multi-link rear suspension kept the vehicle from rolling side to side in higher speed cornering and gave the overall ride a comfortable feeling. The electric power steering really helped in tight maneuvering.

Power was impressive and for a smaller lighter vehicle, the motor was well matched. Fuel economy numbers were good and, if driven sensibly, I am sure you could stretch these numbers to be even better. I was very surprised to see this many features offered as their standard package, great value for your money.

Taylor aiming for national title in 2014 36 The Mission Record Friday, December 13, 2013

Alina KONEVSKI MISSION CITY RECORD

Mission resident Reid Taylor’s firefighting team in Delta placed first at a recent world championship event. The Hatzic Secondary School graduate propelled his team to vic-

tory at the international Firefighter Combat Challenge in Las Vegas on Oct. 26. His Westshore Terminals Delta team beat out 14 other countries. Taylor had to complete an intensely physical course that simu-

lates real firefighting scenarios while wearing the full 45-pound firefighting gear, and breathing from the tank strapped to his back. Taylor and his teammates each carried a 42-pound hose up several flights of stairs,

then hoisted the hose to a platform before running down. Next, Taylor simulated a forcible entry scenario. Using an infamous device called the Keiser force machine, he displaced a 160-pound steel beam by five feet by hammering it with a mallet. “It’s probably the worst part of the race. It’s extremely heavy,” said Taylor. He then ran between cones to a charged hose, sprayed at a target, and dragged the hose another 75 feet. Finally, he rescued a 175-pound mannequin from a hypothetical fire. “That’s where a lot of people fall, because they’re going backward. It’s heavy, and by that time you’re exhausted,” said Taylor.

Mission’s Reid Taylor helped his Delta Fire Department team to a first place finish at the Firefighter Combat Challenge in Last Vegas. SUBMITTED PHOTO Taylor finished 24th out of 165 participants. His time was added to the other top three competitors on his Westshore Terminals Delta team, which catapulted the team into first place overall.

sessions with a professional trainer. “We were very busy, and doing it all again would be extremely hard,” said Taylor. “We won, but it was a gruelling year for sure.” Nevertheless, Taylor is competitive and has his eye on the national title in 2014. He has been hooked on the competitions ever since winning rookie of the year in Canada in 2011, and ranking well in other courses since then. And he has a strong motivator around him: his Delta teammate Jamie McGarva came in second nationally in 2013. “It’s a pretty tough sport, but it’s something I’ve always wanted to do since I wanted to be a fireman. Keeps you active,” said Taylor.

Hess returns to headline Christmas at the Clarke Some of the best music and entertainment in the Fraser Valley will resonate through Mission’s Clarke Theatre next Wednesday, as the Christmas at the Clarke benefit concert gets underway. This is the 14th annual event, which

raises funds for the Christmas Bureau and shelter programs operated by the Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley. If you haven’t got your tickets yet, some are still available, but selling fast. Sponsored by Prospera Credit Union,

BUYING

OR SELLING

A HOME?

Fraser Valley Building Supplies, Black Press, Country 107.1 and Star 98.3, Christmas at the Clarke has become one of Mission’s seasonal traditions, providing people with a show filled with wonderfully talented performers that gets them in the

Christmas spirit the moment they walk in the door and drop off their non-perishable items for the food bank. Doors open at 6 p.m. for the silent auction for people to do some Christmas shopping, with items donated by individuals and businesses throughout the region. Buy your raffle tickets while enjoying Christmas carols, sung by the Heritage Park Secondary School choir. When the theatre doors open at 6:30 p.m., concert goers will be greeted by the sounds of Nathan Maw on the grand piano. Canadian singer and songwriter Kenny Hess

is a favourite whenever he performs throughout North America, and will again be headlining the Christmas at the Clarke. His great songs, rich voice and relaxed and friendly rapport with his audience make the evening a highlight of the year. If you have heard him before, you probably already have your tickets. If you haven’t heard him, you don’t want to miss the chance. His daughter, Kate, will be joining him this year. After performing at the benefit for the past two years, the eightpiece band Horizon is back again to entertain the audience with the

mix of R&B, jazz, gospel, swing and rock and roll that people love every time they play. Their music is fun, crisp, clean and tight, and the vocals and harmonies are fantastic. The trio Sweeet is coming for the first time to entertain the audience with their eclectic style of music with jazz, blues, soul and Celtic influences. Also performing there for the first time is 19-year-old Emily Harder, whose wonderful voice and relaxed style has put her well on her way to a successful music career. In short, Christmas at the Clarke has become the

event of the season for a lot of people in the community. Tickets are $18 for adults, $15 for seniors and students and $10 for children 12 and under. They are available in Mission at London Drugs, Rex Cox Men’s Wear, English Tarts restaurant, Shoppers Drug Mart, Prospera Credit Union and Fraser Valley Building Supplies, and in Abbotsford at the House of James. For more information or for group tickets call show founder and producer, John Agnew at 604-826-4903 or the Clarke Foundation Theatre at 604-820-3961.

FOXCROFT Ruth June 12, 1922 ~ Nov. 29, 2013

Ruth, 91 years old, passed away in Stockton on Friday the 29th of November, 2013. She will be greatly missed by her only daughter, Kari, who brought her to live near her in Stockton, Ca. from Abbotsford, Canada four years ago, after the passing of her dear husband Dave. She also leaves behind her beloved grandson Clifford, granddaughter Helen and step grandson Matt. Ruthie, as she was known to her closest friends, had a feisty personality who loved socializing and listening to all kinds of music. She led an adventurous life migrating from her home province, Alberta (in which her brother, Jackie, survives her in Banff) via the treacherous train route through the Canadian Rockies to work in the ship yards in Victoria, Vancouver Island during WWII. She later became one of the few women cab drivers in Vancouver before settling in rural Surrey. During retirement she and Dave had the opportunity to enjoy not only annual winter trips south through the western States in their RV but also several vacations to England and her heritage country of Scotland. The family will return her remains in the summer to be laid to rest next to her husband Dave, in Abbotsford.

RASMUS, Ella (Isobel M Kerr) July 1920 - December 2013 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our dear Mother and Grandmother. Predeceased by George, her husband of 60 years, her sons David and Ken and her grandson Cameron. She is survived by her children Bob (Peggy), Carole (Bill Coughlin), Stan (Martina), Victor (Debbie) and Jeanne; 14 grandchildren, 15 greatgrandchildren and 3 greatgreat-grandchildren. She was a very special person, she was loved by everyone she met and will be fondly remembered and loved forever. A Memorial Service will be held at 2:00pm on Monday, December 16th at North Valley Baptist Church 32715 Cherry St., Mission
