SERVING MISSION SINCE 1908

Mission accomplished!

Community’s first BC Winter Games comes to successful close after four days Carol Aun MISSION RECORD

Thousands of people worked together last week to make Mission shine through the 2014 BC Winter Games.

In a word, Games president Brian Antonson described the efforts as “amazing.”

He was impressed with the volunteers, the athletes and how the major event came together.

Five Mission athletes competed at the Games, and all five climbed the podium at least once.

Short track speed skater Janie Green made a huge medal haul in the U14 girls division, including three gold (400-metre race 2, 200m pursuit, 2000m mixed relay), one silver (3000m points race) and two bronze (400m race 1, 1500m).

Fellow Mission speed skaters Shivani Bahadur (U14 2000m mixed relay) and Adam Holtby (U16 3000m mixed relay) both earned silver medals in relay events.

In gymnastics action at Mission Secondary, Tamara Skulstad excelled, winning the all-around silver medal in Level 4 along with gold on the vault and silver on the floor. Kristofer Unipan helped the Fraser Valley boys gymnastics squad win CONTINUED ON 3

Freestyle skiing, contested at Hemlock, was one of 18 sports featured during the Mission 2014 BC Winter Games last week.

Mission medalists at the BC Winter Games included speed skater Janie Green (top left) and gymnast Tamara Skulstad (right). Brent Hayden (top middle), Mission’s Olympic swimming medalist who is a BC Summer Games alum, carried the torch during the opening ceremony. Games president Brian Antonson (bottom row, centre left) hailed the “amazing” efforts of volunteers and athletes at the closing ceremony.

Key efforts of volunteers lauded

bronze in the team event.

Antonson praised the directors for exceeding his expectations in their duties, and pointed to chef Peter Bucher as an example of someone who went beyond his responsibilities.

Antonson had heard compliments about the food all weekend and commended the chef the morning after the competitions ended.

“He focused on good solid meals and made sure the kids had the proper nutrition,” Antonson said.

Antonson was a part of the planning committee for two years.

“I didn’t sign up for an easy two years, but I don’t think any of us knew how hard it would be,” shared Antonson. “Everyone rolled up their sleeves.”

If there were lessons to be learned, they were learned quickly, said Antonson, who noted the experience

taught him many things, including how to work with volunteers.

There were B plans and C plans developed for some sports like skiing, but in the end, no one could plan for the weather. The alpine skiing competition was cut short Saturday because of the heavy snowfall at Hemlock and organizers worked hard to prepare the course for Sunday.

All the planning and preparations paid off, said Antonson.

More than 1,000 people braved the cold temperatures and attended the opening ceremonies at Mission Raceway Park Thursday night, and attendance at sporting event venues was impressive.

Some facilities were at capacity and organizers were only letting spectators in when others left.

Antonson visited every venue in Mission and watched as many sports

as he had time for. He was impressed by the athleticism and was pleased the kids had smiles on their faces.

One of the moments he’ll always remember is looking down the hallway

who helped out making an appearance.

The snow deterred many people, suggested Antonson, who breathed a sigh of relief shortly after midnight when the last plane taking athletes home took

A lot of people had fun, a lot of people had a good experience giving back.

BRIAN ANTONSON of one of the schools and seeing two girls walking on their hands and chatting.

Some athletes made their way home after their competition was over, but most stayed until after the closing ceremony, which took place Sunday afternoon. A volunteer appreciation event was held later in the day, with about 500 of the 2,000 individuals

off from Vancouver International Airport.

Mission cannot thank the volunteers enough, said Mayor Ted Adlem, praising the board of directors for their efforts.

There will be a special segment dedicated to Winter Games volunteers at this year’s Community Service Awards ceremony on May 31, and Adlem will

be meeting with Antonson later this week to discuss other ways to recognize what the group accomplished.

One of the volunteers, former Mission mayor James Atebe, who served as a medal presenter and sergeant-at-arms of the Games, was “privileged and honoured” to be invited back to participate.

Atebe was mayor in 2009 when Mission put in a bid to host the 2014 Winter Games. The community had hosted a number of regional championships and needed another challenge, Atebe explained.

Two other goals he envisioned at the time were providing a forum to inspire youth and improving the volunteer base in Mission.

“I felt these Games also showcased Mission’s civic pride and community spirit,” said Atebe.

After all the invoices

are submitted and bills are paid, any remaining money left in the budget will be split between the BC Games Society for future events, and Mission to build a Games legacy. A committee will be formed this spring to come up with suggestions for the legacy project, but regardless of what that will be, one of the lasting legacies is the spirit of volunteerism, said Antonson.

“A lot of people had fun, a lot had a good experience giving back.”

The local economic impact from the four-day event will not be known until later this year when the results of a study on the economic spinoff are released. He also noted the economic spinoff from the 2008 B.C. Winter Games in the Kimberley-Cranbrook area was $1.8 million.

allowed, but a church is not. The definition of a church relates to the building, such as having pews inside or a cross outside.

“In this case, nothing is being done with the building,” said Younie, adding Hensman applied for a business licence and went

through the proper procedures.

Tilbury also acknowledged he met with senior staff earlier and was told Hensman’s business was “not an issue” for the district.

However, Tilbury was unprepared for Hensman’s statement on downtown uses.

“I’m not trying to destroy the man’s reputation,” said Tilbury.

“I’m just saying I’m not comfortable with him lobbying (for churches downtown).”

Tilbury said he felt he had to speak up. In a video of the Dec. 18 meeting on the district’s website, Tilbury could be heard saying, “I don’t know how to bring it up. I almost would like to see us step into close for a

Paying the politicians Carol Aun MISSION RECORD

What are suitable salaries for Mission’s mayor and councillors?

It has been five years since the politicians have had a boost in pay and the district is now going to the public for input.

A staff report prepared for council last week suggested increasing the mayor’s annual salary from $64,384 to $70,178, and councillors’ salaries from $22,280 to $26,705. The mayor also receives an annual car allowance of $2,400, while councillors receive $1,200.

Coun. Tony Luck also

suggested including an extra $600 per session when a councillor serves as deputy mayor.

Elected officials have a combined expense account totalling $30,157, separated into travel ($10,000), conferences ($16,947), and miscellaneous ($3,210) such as cell phones and the mayor’s health plan.

Prior to making the recommendation, district staff compared the salaries of mayor and council from other similar-sized communities. Mission’s population is estimated to be 36,426. In Campbell River where there is a population of 31,186,

the mayor’s salary for 2013 was $61,328, and a councillor’s salary was $23,423.

In Port Moody (population 32,975), the mayor earned $72,914, while a councillor earned $25,520. Vernon’s (population 38,150) mayor and council were paid $68,124, and $24,858 respectively.

Mission staff is also recommending the salaries be reviewed and compared to other municipalities every year prior to an election and the Vancouver Consumer Price Index be used to establish salary levels in years without an election.

Chief administrative officer Ken Bjorgaard stressed whatever is decided for Mission will apply to the next council elected in November and is subject to ratification by the new council.

This is the first time Mission is seeking public input on council remuneration, said Bjorgaard. “We’re committed to seeking feedback on key issues.”

Anyone interested in commenting on the issue can send an email to info@mission.ca. Any comments made on social media will also be forwarded to council for review.

moment.”

A couple of council members said no, and Tilbury explained his objections in the open meeting.

“He mentioned we should go into close, but didn’t make a motion to go into closed,” said Adlem. “Had he made a proper motion, there would’ve been debate

and (the motion) would or would not have been accepted.”

Adlem had “assumed he (Tilbury) had changed his mind,” and didn’t think it was anyone’s responsibility to guide a councillor in proper procedure.

Adlem hopes after the next council meeting on March 3, his

council can get back to focusing on business for the community.

“We’ve wasted two months of the year already playing political games,” said Adlem.

“After March 3, if you want to play political games, do it in the hallway, not council chambers.”

Councillor Nelson Tilbury is disputing claims made by the mayor last week that he did not follow proper procedure to get an issue into an in-camera meeting.

Mayor Ted Adlem told The Record last week that the conflict of interest accusation against Coun. Dave Hensman shouldn’t have been discussed in the public arena.

Tilbury had suggested Hensman might be in a conflict of interest for leasing a building about a block away from a property purchased by the district as part of the downtown revitalization project. Hensman participated in a unanimous council vote

to purchase the former Buy-Low building site.

At the Dec. 18, 2013 council meeting, Tilbury called for a “point of order” when Hens-

Mission shines in Winter Games

Two years in the planning.

Four days in action.

Close to 1,400 athletes.

Approximately 600 coaches and referees.

Nearly 2,000 volunteers.

One thousand-plus people in the bitter cold of opening ceremonies.

Partnerships with six other communities, providing 14 sports venues.

Five local athletes, all on the podium, with a combined medal haul of 12, including four golds.

One word from BC Winter Games 2014 president Brian Antonson...

Amazing!

Mission truly did itself proud with this major event, the first Winter Games for the community.

It all went off remarkably smoothly, save for Mother Nature wreaking a bit of havoc at Hemlock Ski Resort on one day, causing some racing event cancellation. That was beyond anyone’s control.

As for the rest of it – textbook.

If you attended any of the events, you’ll have seen some of what Mission hosted – some of the best young ath-

letes this province has to offer.

You may have also witnessed performances by future Olympians. It wouldn’t be the first time for such individuals to build internationally acclaimed sports careers in this city.

Swimmer Brent Hayden of Mission is a recent example, and someone who was very prominent during the Games here.

Perhaps one of the most important aspects of these, and any Winter Games, is that the young people had fun. Along with their supreme efforts, they exhibited something else – smiles.

They enjoyed team camaraderie and made new friends.

They also came and left Mission safely, hopefully all with good memories.

That’s a legacy to be proud of. That and the superb participation and hard work by all the volunteers – who spanned age, experience and background.

Without them, the Games would not be possible, and they are due a sincere thank you.

Well done, Mission, for staging a highly successful Games.

The grizzly hunt in B.C. isn’t going away Tom Fletcher

B.C. Views A little-noticed protest tent sprouted up on the rain-soaked B.C. legislature grounds earlier this month.

Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver spoke, asking whether B.C. residents would tolerate trophy hunting of killer whales. That would be a federal matter, but the point is vividly made about the onset of B.C.’s traditional spring grizzly bear hunt.

It’s bigger this year, with Kootenay and Chilcotin wildlife management regions reopened after closures were enacted to preserve grizzly populations. In all, more than 1,000 grizzly bears are up for grabs. As with limited-entry hunts for deer and other animals, only about a third of those hunts are successful in an average year.

The rally was sponsored by the Coastal First Nations Great Bear Initiative, the part-

nership with U.S.-directed environment groups Sierra Club, Greenpeace and ForestEthics that has become so influential in B.C. affairs. It produced a survey showing that 88 per cent of B.C. residents oppose trophy hunting, and its California experts calculate a 10-fold increase in value when bear hunting gives way to bear watching.

The Raincoast Conservation Society has bought up half a dozen guiding territories on the remote B.C. coast. Combined with government restrictions, more than half the coast is now off limits to bear hunting.

Naturally, activists want the whole province shut down.

Wildlife management is the responsibility of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson. He’s heard plenty from all sides and he maintains that bear watching and bear hunting will continue to coexist in B.C. Thomson has just introduced legislation to permit hunting guide territories to be operated by corporations as well as individuals. This is a long-sought change, allowing First Nations companies and others access to bank loans to expand the industry.

Non-resident hunters are required to hire

a licensed guide-outfitter. Resident hunters pay $32 for a one-year hunting licence and $80 for a grizzly bear tag. Non-Canadians pay $180 for the licence and $1,030 for a chance at a grizzly.

Hunting in general is making a comeback in B.C. Ministry data show hunting licenses had declined to 85,633 in 2006, but recovered to reach 97,828 by 2013.

Thomson credits the work of the B.C. Wildlife Federation, which runs hunter training courses. Another program, Becoming an Outdoor Woman, has helped revive hunting and camping as a family activity, he said.

Growing up hunting in northeastern B.C., I was taught not to shoot anything I’m not prepared to eat. I also remember the struggles to protect caribou and other endangered prey species that at one time had B.C. biologists resorting to shooting wolves from helicopters.

The reopening of grizzly bear territories is marketed to urban residents as a horrible crime against nature. In fact, it’s a sign of increasing population.

Problems in B.C. wildlife these days include the fragile mountain caribou herds

of the Kootenays, which have been subject to intensive management including relocation of animals.

The ministry has also begun a fiveyear study of declining moose populations across a vast area of the Interior subject to salvage logging in the wake of the pine beetle epidemic.

Vancouver media recently highlighted a grizzly hunt by NHL journeyman Clayton Stoner. Typically, U.S. enviros promoted the deceased bear by name, “Cheeky,” and photos showed its carcass stripped to the skeleton by scavengers after Stoner left with the hide, paws and head.

They don’t mention that the same fate awaits animals that die of starvation or other natural causes, which increase when animals overpopulate. As with many B.C. issues, there’s a cartoon version sold to impressionable city dwellers, and then there’s the truth.

Marriage Commissioner

BC Winter Games: Revel in good work Well done and thank you to the over 2,000 volunteers who have spent the past many months preparing for the Mission 2014 BC Winter Games.

The BC Winter Games were a first for the District of Mission and

those of who took the time to meet, train and host, can now sit back and celebrate, brag and smile at your collective success.

Whether a business contributing significant resources, or a volunteer committing to a

shift, collectively you showed the rest of B.C. that you could do it.

As you counted on your neighbours in Abbotsford, Langley, Hemlock or Maple Ridge, you also counted on each other to ensure the best and brightest

athletes and coaches from across B.C. had a memorable time on the shores of the Fraser River.

Revel in your good work and after some significant rest and reflection; consider strongly furthering your

new found volunteer skills and confidences by once again volunteering to benefit the District of Mission.

Thank you once again!

No wheelchair seating in leisure centre Congratulations, Mission on hosting the Winter Games and what a great coincidence to be at the same time as the Olympics.

However, I have a complaint.

I took my mom who is in a wheelchair to

watch figure skating at the leisure centre.

She always enjoyed watching it on TV and I thought it would be a nice treat to see it live. We were going to have hot chocolate and enjoy the skating.

She was very excited

when I picked her up from her care home.

When we got to the rink we were informed that there is no wheelchair seating at all for the arena. Mom was only able to stare at the boards and hear the music. Const. Barron

from the RCMP even checked out the arena for any other spots she might be able to see and there was nothing.

We were told she could watch hockey.

How does this even happen anymore? I thought wheelchair

access was a standard thing these days.

It would have taken a day to build a raised wooden platform for a wheelchair spectators! We were not impressed.

Gary Swan

Councillor Hensman should resign Over the years, I have never had reason to doubt the truth of what Neal Boorty said that religion is all too often a refuge for scoundrels. Anyone who has read my rants on organized religion shouldn`t be surprised by that truth which has guided my opinions on politicians professing religion long before Coun. Hensman came onto the scene.

So is Coun. Hensman

a scoundrel? I can`t honestly say one way or the other in regards to the alleged conflict of interest over a lease in a prime piece of real estate located in the middle of the proposed revitalization of downtown Mission.

The reason I can`t say is because he, the mayor, and Coun. Nundal blocked an armslength investigation by the BC Supreme Court: a bone-headed move

in civil politics if I ever heard of one.

Those three amigos working together ensured that this issue isn`t going away and will – as noted by others – be tried in the court of public opinion.

Unfortunately for Coun. Hensman, he just doesn`t know when to quit talking, as now we had a letter in The Record from him decrying that his good name and reputa-

tion is being attacked.

And most absurdly of all, claiming that religion and human rights are being attacked by making some bizarre link with schoolyard bullying. The fact that religion itself is the first to trample on human rights makes his claims all the more foolish sounding.

Despite the “charm offence” from the mayor, the ability of the council to function

will remain in shambles. For that reason, I agree that a councillor should indeed immediately resign, but that person must be Coun.

Hensman himself. He needs to put his sizable ego to one side in the best interests of our city and practise some of that humility he preaches from his bully pulpit.

Robert T. Rock Mission

Disenchanted politicians It is really disheartening, with all the problems we have today, to listen to disenchanted local politi-

cians, waste precious time fighting over their egos. Do you think they could put aside their differences of

opinion and get back to running the community.

Why don’t they just shake hands and

make up? After all, if they can’t get along together, how could they possibly show any united resolve to com-

KIDDING OR EXERCISING HOSTILITY While there are many different types of humor, some good and some bad, one of the things we too often find humor in is making fun of others, or in ordinary parlance, making others the butt of our jokes. This type of humor is usually an exercise in hostility, and the person who is the butt of the joke rarely fails to perceive that the joke is a thinly veiled attack in which they are the object of contempt or ridicule.

When this person’s feeling are hurt, it is common for the offending party to say they were just kidding, as if this somehow undoes the damage. Saying that we were just kidding only adds insult to injury, and if the person being made fun of doesn’t laugh it off after being told this, they are often considered to be overly sensitive. Even jokes which don’t single out a particular person can be hurtful to others, because they single out whole classes of people as objects of ridicule. Racist and sexist jokes fall into this category, as do dumb blonde jokes; blondes justifiably take offense at these jokes, because they realize that the insinuation of the joke is that all blondes are dumb. We would do well to hold our tongue when we have something funny to say at someone else’s expense. And, if we have hurt someone’s feeling with a joke at their expense, instead of saying, “Just kidding,” we should offer up a sincere apology.

If any one thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is vain.

Winners of next November’s local elections will serve four years on councils and school boards.

The change is to take effect in time for elections next fall.

Mission Mayor Ted Adlem is welcoming the move.

“All of us that are elected – whether we agree or disagree – work hard and to the best of our ability, to get a lot of things started, but we don’t see a lot of things

accomplished in three years,” said Adlem.

He also noted a fouryear cycle coinciding with the provincial election, will eliminate byelections at the local government level.

“There is a considerable cost to running elections,” added Mission school board chair Edie Heinrichs.

She also noted new trustees have a lot to learn in three years, and an extra year will help them get things done.

Development Coralee Oakes said Tuesday she will introduce legislation shortly to extend local government terms from three years to four.

Oaakes said the change comes after the Union of B.C. Municipalities supported it at their convention last September. The issue has been debated many times and has been divisive over the years, with some rural politicians arguing against extending the commitment for jobs with little pay.

Oakes, who served two terms on Quesnel city council before being elected to the B.C. legislature last year, said she had her own doubts about it when it was debated during that time. But she has made up her mind.

“The reason why provinces across Canada have moved to four years is it provides greater certainty in communities to move those very important projects forward, things such as infrastructure improve-

ments,” Oakes said. “It provides opportunities for local government officials to understand their projects and to carry them through.”

The change would mean the next municipal election would be held in 2018, on a schedule that follows provincial elections by one year. Oakes said there was no intent to avoid having both elections at the same time, and she is acting in response to the UBCM’s vote to go ahead.

Anybody for Murder is about a man named Max who is planning to murder his wife and use the life insurance money he expects to collect to enjoy life with his girlfriend. George, the husband of Max’s girlfriend, arrives unexpectedly with news that both Max’s girlfriend and wife are the beneficiaries of a large fortune.

Now everyone has murder on their minds and all that stands in their way is a neighbour, crime writer Edgar Chambers, who knows a thing or two about murder.

The comedy was written by Brian Clemens and David Spooner.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Can Toyota’s Tundra ride alongside heavyweight brands like Ford, GM or Ram?

Tugging at the tails of top selling trucks If there is one segment of the auto business that takes dynamite to get people to change brands, it’s the full-size pickup truck category, I’m sure most of us know of someone who is a “Ford guy” or The Tundra is “Chevy diehard” owner, even as capable as and getting him or her to move to a new many of the domestic truck would be almost brands but in some impossible. ways it still has a way It wasn’t until the last to go to truly be an Toyota Tundra was introduced in 2007 that alternative to Ford, Toyota was a real conGM and Ram. tender. That 2007 Tundra and this refreshed 2014 Zack Spencer model are designed, engineered and even built in America, helping to pull loyal domestic buyers away.

The Tundra is even as capable as many of the domestic brands but in some ways it still has a way to go to truly be an alternative to Ford, GM and Ram.

‘‘

’

is a step up from the lower trims but not nearly as supple and luxurious as the new batch of interiors from Ram and GM. Those trucks, in particular, have almost luxury-sedan interiors that make the driver forget they are in a truck. The Tundra, in comparison, is a bit stark, featuring a hard, simple plastic dash and door pieces that don’t compare. The centre screen is smaller than many competitors are, and the screen embedded in the instrument cluster is small. What has been improved is the overall layout of the centre console. The back seat is massive and flips up with just one hand to make room for interior storage. I found the last Tundra to have a very high seating position that limited headroom. This new 2014 seems to have a better seating position, no longer crimping headroom for taller drivers.

Drive Powering the Tundra are two V8 gasoline engines.

The base model has a 4.6L V8 with 310hp and 327 lb.-ft. of torque. The larger 5.7L has 381hp and 401 lb.-ft. of torque. This is one area that the Toyota cannot compete; there is no V6 offered and no diesel (Ram only), which the domestic makers do offer. By limiting the available engine options and not having a heavy-duty model that will certainly diminish the

number of domestic buyers willing to give Tundra a try. On the road, I was surprised at just how rough the ride is in comparison to the all-new GM trucks, which really are like driving a big sedan. I would also place the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 a very close second in ride comfort.

The Tundra is choppy on rough roads and the noise level is on the high side. Toyota claims to have improved ride quality on this refreshed 2014 model but I am not a fan of the ride.

Verdict The Tundra is a capable truck. When equipped it can tow up to 4760 kg, which is on the high side in this class.

What surprised me the most was the real “trucky” ride. I have had extensive seat time in all three domestic brands over the past year and I have to say that they are best sellers for a reason – the refinement is rather dramatic.

The Lowdown Power: 4.6L V8 with 310hp or 5.7L V8 with 381hp Fill-up: 15.8L/11.0L/100km (city/highway 5.6L) Sticker price: $26,750-$54,000 zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Looks As part of the 2014 redesign, Toyota went about setting up a slightly different look for each of its trim levels. Sold as an SR5, Limited and Platinum, each has a variation of the oversized front grille.

The wheel openings are now larger and squarer, framing wheel sizes ranging from 18-inches on the SR5 and Limited and 20-inches on the Platinum.

The Tailgate has a soft open feature, stopping it from slamming down, that is fantastic but there is no side step or ladder into the bed the way Ford and the new GM trucks have. Sold as a regular car, double cab or Crew Cab, there is a model for most buyers.

Inside Just as the outside was redesigned to have a unique character for each trim, the inside mimics this idea.

The Platinum model I tested is covered with a diamond pattern, or quilted look used on the leather seatbacks, side door inserts and dash front panel. It

Volvo circles the wagon for success

By Keith Morgan

Volvo is hitching some of its revival hopes to a wagon – the 2015 Volvo V60 Sportswagon.

Its grille is clearly all-Volvo

but those typically boxy looks that characterized the make from your dad’s day are gone. In looks it’s a design variation of the S60 sedan and it will be a welcome sight for loyalists

of the Swedish brand. The wagon featured recently along with the S60 and XC60 crossover at a launch event in the Nevada desert.

The Volvo execs proudly talked about their new

Welcome to the family!

Drive-E powertrains, developed thanks to the megabucks available now that the company is owned by the Chinese Geely Automotive. Ford ownership may now be retreating in Volvo’s rearview mirror but it is still beholden to the US manufacturer for the platforms upon which these three 2015 models ride.

Model year 2014 saw a refresh of all three midsize Volvo models showing in the desert so this was truly about the new engines. The Drive-E family of gas, diesel and hybrid (the latter not yet, but soon) engines are built around a single, 2.0-litre four-cylinder powerplant.

It’s a brave gamble, worthy of Vegas, when you ponder the XC90 relying on such a small engine. Asked if this were a safe bet, the Swedes just smiled and promised the performance of the four-cylinder configuration will equal their big brothers by using such technologies as direct fuel injection, tur-

bocharging, supercharging and electrification.

Here in the Great White North, just the two gas engines will be offered initially – the new turbocharged T5 pumps out 240 horsepower, while the turbo’ed and supercharged T6 adds another 62 horses.

The base front-wheel-drive V60 T5, with a new eightspeed automatic transmission, will set you back $39,800. Volvos have never been cheap. The other three Sportswagons will continue to use existing powerplants, six-speed automatic transmissions and Haldex all-wheel-drive systems.

I got some seat time in the V60 and S60 (S60 with T5 $37,750. T6 $42,850), taking in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Valley of Fire state park and Red Rock Canyon.

The T5-equipped wagon is a smooth operator in performance and ride. And while you won’t burn rubber at the green light, it will take

Volvo S60, V60 and XC60.

off when necessary. Volvo says it will hit 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds if given the lead foot treatment. (The T6 in sedan tells a slightly racier story. Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating but only a little and I look forward pressing the pedal to the metal where I can legally do so.)

The T5 fuel economy ratings fare well in comparison with the market competition – 9.4/6.3/8.1 L/100km (city/hwy/combined). These numbers are squeezed out of the power plant with the help of the standard engine stop/start system and the efficient new eight-speed transmission, which slips into a neutral coasting mode when you lift your

foot off the gas.

Inside, the instrument panel stretches the span of the car and features an attractive floating centre console, which mixes good looks with functionality. Swedes are safety conscious, of course, and that means lane change, cross traffic, blind spot warnings and alerts.

The front seating is comfortable if a little soft on a long drive. Rear seating ditto and headroom is good despite the coupe-style slope of the rear.

Great storage room in the rear. The 40/20/40 split second row folds flat to provide enough space to move a small apartment’s furniture. Just kidding but you get the picture.

The man from BMW once called me a hooker.

Surprisingly, I wasn’t that offended. I actually laughed at such a descriptor, as did everyone else around me.

I didn’t feel so bad because I wasn’t the only one in the group labelled thusly at the brand’s Driver Training; a full day of driving 3 Series sedans (back then) to improve our own car control. I didn’t have too many years of driving experience back then but I unfortunately I had picked up a few bad habits on the road.

What’s a ‘hooker’, according to the instructors at the German automaker’s training?

Someone who hooks his or her hand into the steering wheel when making a turn.

It’s a big boo-boo and not an effective way to drive. It’s also totally unsafe should an accident occur in the process.

Needless to say, pointing out the ‘hooker’ in me caused me to change my habits for the better.

And in the most recent installment of learning car control with BMW, no such noun was used when relating to my technique. Thank goodness.

It’s minus 15 degrees at the ICAR track in Mirabel, Quebec. The sun is out and there’s a lineup of all-new 435i coupes just begging to be driven.

Some are equipped with the brand’s all-wheel drive system. Some are rear-wheel drive. Regardless, I’ll have my way with both configurations by the end of the day, so to speak.

The adventure is better known as the Winter Driver Training program, offered exclusively at the ICAR location. That said, you don’t need to own a BMW to participate. Learning car control in less than perfect circumstances is available

Best place to learn winter driving It’s mentioned that we’ll be practicing manouevres with and without electronic help, to put both power and performance to the test. Oh yeah.

Proper seating position is outlined when we initially get behind the wheel. Then we’re off.

You might ask what is the point behind putting one of BMW’s latest products sideways on an ice track in subzero temperatures. My initial answer is only three letters long and to the point: fun. But that’s only a byproduct of what the impetus behind the program is; a program that started back in 1977 and is now offered in 35 countries.

The main goal is safety. It’s designed to introduce drivers to techniques that might help correct the car if it is not doing what you want it to for whatever reason.

For example, if your wheels are pointed in one direction, but your car is going straight ahead, what should you do?

That’s called understeer. The instinctual thing to do is keep adding more steering, but that won’t help. Ease off the throttle and try to straighten your wheel so your tires can regain grip.

Or, if you feel the back end of the car breaking loose, how do you wrangle it in?

You countersteer and don’t lift off the throttle. It sounds easier said than done, but the techniques do work!

Putting yourself and the 435i through the paces in a safe and controlled environment is the best place to learn.

If you spin out, you’re not going to go into oncoming traffic. You just stop, turn the car around, and keep going. You’ll probably giggle a little in the process and tell yourself you’ll “get it next time.”

Heck, if you knock over a few cones, no one will judge you either. It’s all part of the process.

There are also dynamic braking exercises that teach you how the car reacts when you have ABS, and what you can do in these conditions. You’ll even learn reverse 180s.

Philippe Létourneau is the head instructor of the program and says, “People learn a lot more when they’re having fun.” I agree.

He also mentions that if people walk away from the course with a couple of newly established driving habits that make them overall a safe driver, that’s ideal.

However, if your face doesn’t feel stiff from smiling, or your abs don’t hurt from laughing, perhaps you weren’t trying hard enough.

What’s not to like about that?

Usually, the best choice is to have the rim width at about 90 per cent of the tread width of the tire.

The most important safety aspect of maintenance on your truck is to keep its tires intact and in good shape. A blown tire can cause an accident in an instant. The number one cause of the tire wear and tear is incorrect tire pressure. All the tires on the truck should have consistent air pressure to carry the weight equally.

Adequate air pressure is important for a good tire

life, handling and traction.

Look through your owner’s manual, on the sticker inside the driver’s door, or look on the tire itself to find the correct air pressure that you need to maintain them.

Seasonal changes can affect the air pressure of the tires. Cold temperatures are responsible for dropping the air pressure of the tires, and warm temperatures are responsible for increasing the air pressure. A 10 per cent swing in the temperatures causes a 1lb. change in the air pressure. Sudden

changes in temperature are a good time to check the pressure of the tires.

You can reduce the wear and tear of the truck’s tires by rotating them often.

Rotating the tires keeps the tread wear balanced and can really help when slippery and wet conditions occur. A simple rule about rotating your tires is to do it on every other oil change.

Doing this on a consistent basis, will make the tires last longer and allow a comfortable ride for many, many kilometres. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

Change your tires according to the conditions you are driving in the most.

District Update THIS IS OUR MISSION In the Spotlight Council Remuneration: Public Input Needed The Mayor and members of Council all receive Ànancial compensation for the work that they do. This remuneration gives an incentive to community members that may want to hold public ofÀce, and also shows appreciation for the time and commitment required to effectively govern the District of Mission. Currently, the District’s policy includes a salary of $64,560.60 for the Mayor and $22,340.88 for each member of Council.

In addition, the Mayor also receives medical, extended health and dental beneÀts.

Council is considering a new policy on council remuneration and expenses and wants to hear back from the community.

Highlights of the proposed changes include a Mayor’s

Stay in touch

salary of $70,178 per year and a Councillor’s salary of $26,705 per year, based on the average of numerous comparable municipalities in BC. As well, a Councillor would receive an additional $600 per month for serving as Acting Mayor. These new salary levels would only come into after the next election, and must be approved by the newly elected Council. Medical Services Plan, extended health and dental beneÀts will continue to be offered to the Mayor, with 100 per cent of the premium being paid for by the District, and other members of Council and all their dependents may participate in these beneÀts but must pay their own premiums. Under the new policy, Council salary levels would be reviewed every three years, and in the intervening years salaries

would be adjusted using the consumer price index.

The proposed policy and report to Council can be viewed on the District’s web site at www.mission.ca. Tell us whether or not you feel that the current compensation and beneÀt levels for the Mayor and Councillors are adequate, or if you think changes are needed. You can send a letter to the mailing address below, or you can send your comments via email to info@mission.ca. There will also be a Town Hall Forum on April 1 where you can come to Municipal Hall and share your ideas.

Final consideration of the council remuneration and expense policy is expected to be on an April agenda of Council.

At age 93, Rhona Jacobsen was the oldest volunteer at the 2014 Mission B.C. Winter Games.

T

wo of Mission’s most dedicated volunteers, Elsie Lightburn and Rhona Jacobsen, offered smiles and warm hospitality to young athletes who arrived in Mission last week for the B.C. Winter Games.

At ages 92 and 93 respectively, Elsie and Rhona are two of the oldest volunteers helping out in the Games.

Both agree it was a good experience.

“I like talking to different people,” said Elsie, who learned kids preferred to “knuckle” rather than shake hands.

“Some of them looked at you and walked by, but the majority of them did shake hands,” noted Rhona, who had her hand extended out to everyone that walked into the small gym at Heritage Park secondary school Thursday morning.

People are more afraid than ever of “picking up a germ,” Rhona added.

Elsie and Rhona, who worked together at the Old Age Pensioners Organization, also combined efforts to engage athletes by asking them where they were from and what sport

they would be participating in.

The women have been involved in the community for many years and were eager to help out any way they could.

Even after their welcoming duties were finished, they looked for other ways to help.

Elsie watched some activities at the Leisure Centre, such as curling, hockey and figure skating, while Rhona continued speak with young athletes.

“I enjoyed it very much,” said Rhona. “It really did my heart good to look around and see all those positive kids.”

B.C. seniors elect new COSCO president

L

Lorraine Logan is the new COSCO president.

orraine Logan is the new president for Council of Senior Citizens’ Organizations of B.C. (COSCO), B.C.’s largest federation of seniors.

Logan previously served as COSCO’s second vice-president, and spoke for the organization on transportation issues including DriveABLE and accessible transit services.

Logan said there are many issues where the voice of today’s seniors must be heard.

“Governments generally have failed to recognize the positive contributions that seniors can make,” she said. “ British Columbians are living longer, healthier lives. In some instances, this creates challenges, but it also creates

immense opportunities.”

A key issue that COSCO will be tackling immediately is the defense of public health care, threatened by the federal government’s refusal to renegotiate the federalprovincial Health Accord which expires March 31.

“Seniors will be visiting their Members of Parliament to urge them to improve public health care, and not allow Ottawa to reduce its financial contribution. We can strengthen health care, and actually save money, by establishing national Pharmacare and home support programs,” explained Logan.

Other priorities affecting seniors include affordable housing, accessible

transportation services, and the need to improve public pensions, said Logan.

COSCO is an umbrella organization that brings together 85 different seniors groups, representing 107,000 women and men, to work on common issues. COSCO is affiliated with the one million member National Pensions Federation which promotes these issues at the national level.

A major focus of COSCO’s work is promoting good health.

To this end, COSCO volunteers provide a series of free workshops on 38 topics ranging from falls prevention to health literacy. More than 6,000 seniors have attended these workshops.

February is heart month

D

id you know more Canadians are surviving heart attacks and strokes than ever before.

The death rate has declined by more than 75 per cent over the last 60 years, according to the B.C. Heart and Stroke Foundation, and last year there were 165,000 heart attack and stroke survivors.

Although progress is being made, there is still a

lot of work to do.

Cardiovascular disease is a concern for many older people and the term is used to describe numerous health problems related to the heart and blood vessels.

Despite the fact that in many cases cardiovascular disease can be preventable through physical activity, healthy diet and lifestyle changes, this is still the secondleading cause of death in B.C., claiming approximately 6,000 British Columbians a year.

Risks for developing cardiovascular disease include: smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol and obesity, as well as risk factors that we cannot control such as age, gender, ethnicity and family history.

These three lifestyle changes can dramatically reduce your risk and can help keep your heart healthy:

1. Quit smoking. Smoking is linked to virtually all major causes of death and disease in Canada and quitting smoking is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of heart disease or stroke.

2. Physical activity. No matter how busy life gets, it is important to remember that getting out and doing some activity is better than doing none at all. With each step you take you are doing your heart a favour and are helping to increase your overall health.

3. Healthy eating. A diet high in fruits, vegetables and fibre and low in sodium and saturated and trans fat is ideal for getting the nutrition your body needs and for keeping your heart healthy.

Starting this month, commit to keeping active and make your heart health a priority.

Blood Pressure Blood pressure is the force of blood against your blood vessels as it circulates through your body.

This force is necessary to make blood flow and to deliver oxygen through your body. High blood pressure means that there is too much pressure in your blood vessels. This high pressure can damage your blood vessels which may lead to stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, sexual dysfunction and eye problems.

Anyone can develop high blood pressure, but it becomes more common as you get older. It is important to check your blood pressure whether you have high readings or not. High blood pressure has no warning signs or symptoms. This is why it is referred to as the “silent killer”.

Measuring your blood pressure at home helps your healthcare

By Chrystal Robinson

provider to understand how well you blood pressure is controlled day to day. It also helps to show you how medication and lifestyle can affect your blood pressure readings.

If you are diagnosed with high blood pressure talk to your doctor discuss normal readings. Learn how to monitor your blood pressure at home and keep a record to show your doctor at each appointment.

Only buy a monitor with the health check symbol as it has been tested and approved by the Canadian Hypertension Society for accuracy.

Automatic monitors are easier to use. Blood pressure cuffs come in different sizes and it is very important that the cuff fits your arm properly. The wrong size will give you an incorrect reading.

Lifestyle changes may help to improve your blood pressure levels.

Dietary choices should include

Like puzzles? Then you’ll love Sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off.

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.

Dental Implants gave us a confident smile

This couple have something to smile about. They used to wear dentures, which caused discomfort, an inability to eat many foods and a lack of conÀdence when it came to smiling and talking.

Now they enjoy the freedom of NobelSmile dental implants, which are as close to natural teeth as you can get. People who lose a tooth want to replace it with something permanent, says Dr. Lui, instead of something they have to remove. “Once you give someone new, permanent teeth, you can see their personality shine through again.”

“Whether you have a single tooth, several teeth or everyone of them missing...we can help.”

WINTER SALE!

Horton, Bhogal, Clarkson secure football scholarships

15% OFF

Dan KINVIG MISSION CITY RECORD

Three of Mission’s top high school football players have nailed down university scholarships.

Evan Horton and Arjun Bhogal of the Mission Secondary Roadrunners have committed to join the UBC Thunderbirds, while their high school teammate Matt Clarkson is ticketed for the Manitoba Bisons.

Horton is best known for his exploits on offence – he was the AA provincial player of the year last season after leading all quarterbacks in rush yards with 1,116, and throwing for an additional 1,065 yards.

His university future, though, will be as a linebacker, and he said he’s looking forward to making a full-time transition to defence at UBC. “It’s going to be nice not to be so tired,” he said with a chuckle.

“When you’re on the field all the time, sometimes it even gets hard

Bhogal missed the bulk of his senior season due to a knee injury – he tore his MCL and sprained his ACL during a September game vs. the W.J. Mouat Hawks.

But the UBC coaching staff had seen enough of the defensive lineman during his Grade 11 year, when he earned an Eastern Conference all-star nod.

“It was a scary moment for me,”

Bhogal said, reflecting on the injury. “I knew I wouldn’t be playing for the rest of the year.

“But I was really, really happy that I got recognized (by UBC), even though I didn’t play this year.”

Clarkson, an offensive lineman, comes by his talent honestly – his father Larry played offensive tackle for the B.C. Lions, and older brother Tom (a 2012 Mission Secondary grad) landed a scholarship from the University

of Nevada-Las Vegas.

“He’s always been supportive,” Clarkson said, reflecting on his dad’s influence on his athletic career. “Having him there, not forcing me to do anything but helping me when I needed it, was huge. I wouldn’t be here without him.”

Clarkson considered following his classmates to UBC, but ultimately elected to sign with Manitoba because he’s a big fan of Bisons coach Brian Dobie.
