Having a

New centre for seniors explored

? y a d Bad It’s ’s good tto ok know now we have you

COVERED

Council votes to pursue study into housing aspect

Ove 20 Ye r of pro ars vid Missi ing with P on e of Min ace d.

Kevin Mills Mission Record

Mission seniors are one small step closer to having a new facility.

On Monday, council voted in favour of conducting a feasibility study on building seniors or affordable housing as part of a proposed new seniors centre.

The seniors centre/housing project would be located on the Mission Leisure Centre grounds and also include 7682 Grand Street, a property recently purchased by the district.

The Mission Association for Seniors Housing (MASH) has been contacted and indicated an interest in the overall project.

The feasibility study will be paid for using a grant from CMHC. Coun. Danny Plecas called it a good opportunity to do the study, considering it won’t cost the district anything. He added that “seniors are anxious to see something happen.”

The study should take two to three months to prepare.

“It’s about time we started on this process. We’ve been talking about it for years and years and nothing has really happened so it’s a good positive step forward,”said Coun. Jim Hinds.

Bob Ingram, president of the Mission Seniors Centre Association called it a “good day” and a “step forward” for the new facility.

“The secret now is to keep the momentum going.

It’s very gratifying to see it starting to come together. Starting to see some progress in the process

MEET THE CANDIDATES There are six people vying for your vote on Oct. 19 in the new riding of Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon Mission Record

With only 10 days to go before the Oct. 19 federal election, the six candidates in the newly formed riding of Mission-MatsquiFraser Canyon have little time left to garner votes. The following is a look at all six candidates.

DENNIS ADAMSON NDP For the past seven years, Dennis Adamson has dove head first into the local political field as the Fraser Valley Regional District’s Area B director.

And Adamson, who is representing the NDP, now believes he’s ready to take the next s t e p a n d repres e n t the area on the federal ADAMSON level. “ A t the local government level I’m limited to the number of people I can help,� he said. “At the federal level it would expand my ability to help more people and that’s exactly what I want to do.�

He said his seven years as director gives him an advantage over his opponents in the federal election. “I’m aware of the local issues and I’ve already made useful connections with other politicians and stakeholders in the community and those connections would help me solve other people’s problems,� he said. “I’ve been able to resolve difficult issues for my constituents because I think outside the box.�

Adamson pointed to a recent school shutdown in Yale that he helped transform into a community centre as an example of his creative ideas.

He said the biggest issues in the riding are good-paying local jobs, healthcare and the protection of the environment. “The NDP will create 40,000 training and apprentice opportuni-

ties for young people,� he said. “We’re also trying to kickstart the manufacturing sector and make investments in public transit. Environmentally, big polluters should pay for the cost of their pollution, and we would invest in renewable energy.�

Adamson said infrastructure is another big issue in the riding. “The Harper government has let us down in that way,� he said. “We need to invest public money back into it. It puts people back to work and gets money floating around in the economy.�

He said people want a new energy in Ottawa and the NDP can provide that. “People just aren’t happy with the current government,� he said. “Whenever I do door knocking it’s always one thing or another.

It’s time for a change and I think people want change.�

ART GREEN GREEN PARTY Arthur Green was born in Mission, at the current hospital, back in 1955.

His family is from Agassiz. His great grandfather settled there in the mid-1800s.

After graduating from Agassiz High School in 1973 on an academic-technical program, he became a dispatcher for the BC Forest Service, at Ranger District 3, in Harrison Hot Springs, where he received a vast amount of office training.

It was in 2013, a f t e r being w i t h the NDP, that he moved to the Greens.

GREEN It was an easy transition.

Green believes there are many local issues that need to be addressed in the new riding. “Personally, I think economy-wise, I think what we really need to tie the valley together and to get it to start to boom again is a transportation system.�

He wants to work on a proposal to get the old BC Railway going as a commuter rail between Chilliwack and Langley.

From there, it can tie into the new Langleyto-Surrey line being proposed. “There’s also that rail line that runs between Abbotsford and Mission and we could

tie into the West Coast Express as well.�

Green said it would tie the whole Fraser Valley together.

Another issue close to his heart is the Fraser River. “All these open-net fish farms on the coast are destroying our salmon stocks. You can talk to any fisherman up and down the Fraser River, all the salmon have sea lice and we believe that’s what it’s caused from, because they are actually farming Atlantic salmon in the Pacific Ocean. “Between that and climate change, our Fraser River sockeye is in jeopardy.�

On a national level, Green said the money being used to subsidize the oil sands should be moved and invested in clean, renewable energy. “There are actually already more jobs in the clean and renewable energy sector – like building windmills and solar panels and that sort of stuff – than there are in the tar sands and the oil patch now.�

He believes tens of thousands of jobs could be created. “We believe we could create the greatest economic catalyst that the country has ever seen.�

The new riding of

Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon is huge and Green believes it will be difficult for one man to represent the whole area. “One man can’t do it.

You would need two assistants to do it.�

If elected, Green would have an office in Mission, but would also

run satellite offices in other areas, including Lillooet.

He also believes, regardless of which candidate is successful, all the candidates should get together and form a riding association, similar to a taxpayers’ association. “We could get togeth-

er two or three times a year and put our views for each party into a central pool and whoever’s elected – hopefully me – could take those ideas back to Ottawa. “It would be more like a proportional representation riding that way.�

OPINION

Published & printed by Black Press Ltd. at 33047 First Avenue, Mission V2V 1G2

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Red tape day? Really?

The irony, as they say, is delicious.

This week, the BC Liberals introduced to the legislature Bill 34, which aims to proclaim the first Wednesday in March as “Red Tape Reduction Day.” Yes, really.

The goal, one assumes, is a relatively simple one – to eliminate excess paperwork, delays and other unnecessary road blocks that only serve to hold up the otherwise good and important work done by the provincial government.

Of course, we are left to make that assumption on our own, as the actual wording of the proclamation itself – just a few short expository paragraphs – provides little in the way of useful information.

What is the end goal of such a day?

What exact measures will be taken to achieve said goals? Who, exactly, will benefit? And how?

In the spirit of the bill itself, at least it’s succinct.

However, a few more words would go a long way toward explaining what, ex-

actly, the point of it is, because on the surface it seems to be nothing more than parody – an unnecessary procedure that passes a law celebrating the reduction of unnecessary procedures.

Red-tape reduction was addressed by Premier Christy Clark during a throne speech earlier this year. It was made a priority at that time, and responsibilities dumped on the lap of new minister of small business, Coralee Oakes.

And now here they are, talking about it again without substance. Seems redundant, no?

Critics – opposition politicians and citizens, alike – were quick to jump on the absurdity of it all, making comparisons to everything from Monty Python to The Simpsons.

But potshots aside, the bill itself seems meaningless – nothing more than an empty gesture aimed to make the government appear pro-active and forward thinking, while accomplishing nothing. You know, the usual red tape.

LAST WEEK WE ASKED: Do you feel well informed about the federal candidates and their policies?

Here’s how you responded:

Yes 55% No 45%

A brief history of health spending Tom Fletcher

B.C. Views The federal budget document began with an ominous warning about deep cuts.

Social programs, justice and corrections would be spared as much as possible, but no department would escape the knife.

The stark truth was revealed in a table of figures. Health care spending, the core of the Canadian state, was cut by 3.8 per cent in just the first year of the fiscal plan, as population and need continued to grow.

No, this is not from the Stephen Harper budget of April 2015, or any other in the last decade. It’s from the Jean Chretien budget of 1995, more than 20 years ago.

That’s the last time anyone actually cut health care spending.

But wait, you may say. Didn’t I hear that Harper has slashed health care spending by $30 billion?

Yes, you probably did hear the biggest, most brazen lie of this election campaign, either from the government unions that

advertised it or the politicians who parrot it.

If health care really is everyone’s high-priority issue, as pollsters have long assured us, voters should at least know the facts.

After cutting provincial health and social services transfers for years to end the string of operating deficits that began under Pierre Trudeau and continued under Brian Mulroney, Liberal finance minister Paul Martin rose briefly to the top job.

In 2004, Martin staged meetings with premiers, emerging with what was billed as “a fix for a generation,” with federal health transfers to rise six per cent each year into the future.

The future for Martin’s government lasted only two years, as his minority was replaced with one led by Harper.

These galloping increases continued until the Conservative majority of 2011, after which then-finance minister Jim Flaherty came to Victoria to inform provincial finance ministers of the new plan.

(I was there, and the joke was that this was as far from Ottawa as Flaherty could get without leaving Canada.)

The six-per-cent increases, by that time triple inflation, would continue for anoth-

er five years. Starting in 2017-18, increases would be tied to economic growth, with a minimum hike of three per cent, still well ahead of today’s inflation. That remains the Conservative plan today.

All provinces east of Saskatchewan pitched a fit. Manitoba’s NDP finance min-

In B.C., then-finance minister Kevin Falcon praised the long-term approach, acknowledging that health spending was ballooning to half of the provincial budget. ister termed it “un-Canadian.” Lefties immediately called it a cut, to which Flaherty replied that transfers to provinces would rise from $30 billion to $38 billion in 201819, and continue to grow after that.

In B.C., then-finance minister Kevin Falcon praised the long-term approach, acknowledging that health spending was ballooning to half of the provincial budget and had to be brought under control

as baby boomers start to retire. B.C. has largely accomplished that, with spending increases below three per cent and health care outcomes that continue to lead the country.

As the current election campaign turns into the home stretch, Statistics Canada has announced a milestone.

For the first time in history, the number of seniors exceeds number of children.

This demographic shift is inexorable, predictable and must be addressed by whoever wins the Oct. 19 federal election.

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair is on record that he will scrap the Conservative formula for growth-based increases that he pretends are cuts, returning to six per cent every year while balancing the budget.

Little detail has been provided on how this would be done.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau announced in Surrey last week that he will ante up an extra $3 billion over four years for health care, and “sit down with the provinces immediately” to renegotiate, a rerun of Paul Martin’s political theatre.

MOZAICO

Riding size a challenge WYATT SCOTT INDEPENDENT Wyatt Scott is a local business owner and community leader.

He is president-elect of the Rotary Sunrise Club in Mission and is with the Optimist Club as well as being a member of various local boards.

The 38-year-old was born in Red Deer, Alta., and moved to Prince George when he was 14. He came to the Fra s e r Va l l ey about a dec a d e ago.

SCOTT Scott thinks the economy is always on the top of any list of election issues.

“The economy is very important.

Environment is also a huge issue in the Valley and in the Canyon. The Fraser River is a lifeline for all of us.”

He said the river plays a huge financial role and, for many people, a spiritual role as well.

“There are 25 different bands within our federal riding and the logistics of it, just the sheer size of it, it creates all sorts of challenges.”

Federally, he said “the right” is pushing the economy.

“Economy plays such an important role in any nation on the planet and I personally think that our economy could get so much stronger if we started to diversify a bit more and focus on the green sector.

Ultimately, that’s where we are going to end up.”

As an independent, Scott said he faces a different set of challenges and opportunities than other candidates.

“I have my own ideologies and that’s what I’m promoting at this time. I always let people know that I have conservative, I have liberal, I have socialist ideologies. I think I’m well-rounded on the political spectrum and I personally feel as though our country will be heading in a new direction over

the next couple of decades.”

Scott said people have seen all sorts of different democracies come to fruition, bringing forward new democratic processes.

“I personally stand behind direct democracy,” he said, especially in an age of technology. He said he was “shocked” that Canada is still using paper ballots, when voting should be done electronically. He said more voters would take part if voting took place online.

As for the campaign, Scott said he’s thrilled to offer a different kind of a choice to voters.

“I love Mission. I love the surrounding area. I think we are very fortunate to live where we do, when we do as well.”

The sheer size of the new riding makes representing the population a challenge. But it’s not just about time and distance.

“Even the economics of it. In the north you have the orchards, you have cattle ranchers. And then down here we have quarries.

There are so many different industries within the riding.”

He said he’s thrilled to offer voters a different choice than the parties. Every day he hears promises of change from the major candidates.

“I always tell people that real change will never come from a political party. True change comes from each of us.”

JATI SIDHU LIBERAL For over 30 years, Jati Sidhu has lived, worked and raised his family in the MissionMatsqui-Fraser Canyon area and now wants to represent the brand new riding in 2015.

Sidhu built a thriving farming business in the area in the 1970s and then expanded into local construction in the mid-1980s.

His community involvement is varied and expansive over his time in the area, serving as a founding member of the Fraser Valley Indo-Canadian Business Association, a board member of Character Abbotsford,

work with the children and I have the Abbotsford Hospice drive to serve it.”

Sidhu pointed to Society, the Abbotsford Police Board and the that community involvement and University of dedication as Fraser Valley his biggest board of goverstrengths as a nors. candidate.

Politics are not new to Sidhu. He ran federally in the DewdneyAlouette riding in the year 2000 and has participated in municipal elections in the past.

He said he’s been a Liberal since 1994 and that he’s proud to represent that party.

“Equality, fairness and openness are the policies I believe, and the Liberal Party believes in, for all Canadians,” he said.

“We have a strong leader [Justin Trudeau] who wants to serve the country from the heart. This country needs a change and strong leadership.”

Sidhu said the biggest issues in the riding are agricultural and economic growth.

“I’d really like to boost agricultural growth in the area and give farmers all the tools they need,” he said. “We need to level the playing field with American producers and whatever they use we should be able to use too. We also need

to build up our bridges, roads, schools and hospitals – look at the Dewdney bridge that crumbled the other day.”

He said his experience and passion for the community makes him the right choice on Oct. 19.

“Out of the six candidates, I’m the only person that is heavily involved in volunteer work,” he said. “I’ve been involved in the community for over 30 years; some of the other candidates aren’t even 30 years old yet.”

He worked on Parliament Hill for several years, and eventually worked at the Department of Foreign Affairs, under Ed Fast, as an adviser in international trade.

Vis said he wants to champion people with disabilities, as a member of parliament, and he a l s o wa n t s t o champ i o n the agricultural sector.

VIS

BRAD VIS CONSERVATIVE Brad Vis was born and raised in Matsqui, now Abbotsford, and graduated from Robert Bateman Secondary School.

He attended the University of the Fraser Valley before completing a bachelor’s degree from UBC and a master’s from Carleton University, specializing in parliamentary decision making.

“There are endless opportunities to develop our agricultural resources and develop secondary food products and manufactured products. And I think there is going to be a lot of economic opportunity for people in the riding if we focus on those things,” he said.

Throughout the campaign, Vis said he has spent time knocking on doors and what

The MISSION HERITAGE ASSOCIATION Special Meeting of the Membership on Friday October 16th at 5:30pm to discuss a specific agenda concerning the MHA’s future direction. The agenda will be available at the Fraser River Heritage Park administration office from October 5th onward.

The meeting will be held at the MISSION SKILLS CENTRE on First Avenue, above the discount store, directly opposite the Royal Bank, and across the hall from Sue’s Copy Place. (parking is available in the rear, off the laneway).

he hears more than anything else is that families want to make sure the government is using their taxpayers’ dollars wisely. He said they recognize that the government has done a lot to support Canadian families.

“Since 2006, the average Canadian family has about $6,000 more in their pocket through different tax breaks and tax reductions and direct benefits.”

Support for seniors is another key local issue that Vis said people ask him about.

“We’ve taken hundreds of thousands of low-income seniors off the tax payroll all together. That’s been a really big accomplishment of the Conservative Party that often goes unnoticed.”

Mission-MatsquiFraser Canyon has the third largest proportion of seniors in the country.

“Income splitting for seniors has saved a lot of money for seniors in the community and I’ve also heard a lot of people very pleased to know that we will now have a single senior tax credit,” he said.

According to Vis, the current government has made record investments in health and social transfers.

Since 2006, health transfers to the provinces have increased from $20 billion to $34 billion – an increase of 70 per cent.

By the end of the decade, health transfers will reach $40 billion, he said.

New cell tower proposed Council supports application to build structure in Mission Kevin Mills Mission Record

New Patients Welcome!

A new telecommunications tower could rise in Mission.

Council has agreed to support an application by Rogers Communication to construct a tower on the rural property located at 31866 Rodman Ave. in the southwest area of Mission.

The application was originally submitted in 2013. However, the previous council put the request on hold pending a review of the district’s Wireless Telecommunication Towers Policy.

According to the application, the new tower is needed to address coverage

gaps in the central Mission area, including the Silverdale neighbourhood area.

The proposed lattice self-support tower would be 50 metres (165 feet) high.

A public consultation was held in November of 2013.

“I believe that we need some new cell towers in this community,” said Mayor Randy Hawes.

He questioned the purpose of holding another public consultation on the subject.

“Regardless of the results, what would be the chances of us saying ‘No, we don’t want cell towers because a lot of people came and said they’re dangerous to our health?,” he asked the rest of council.

He said some residents may believe that cell towers are dangerous and have documents found on the Internet to prove it, but he prefers to accept “the real science.”

Hawes also said some people may not like the sight lines, or the look of the tower, but questioned if that would be cause to not support the proposal.

Council gave its support to the proposal and decided not to hold another public consultation. However homes within a 300-metre radius of the proposed site will be notified.

Now that council has given its support, Rogers can apply for a federal license before it can begin construction.

Election day is Oct. 19 $10,000 INGIVPERAIZWEAYS! From A8

to Vis. He’s looking forward to working with stakeholders to address some of the concerns related to flood management, protection and dyke infrastructure.

The challenges of serving the new riding are evident, according to Vis. “Most of the population lives within Abbotsford and Mission and I understand that.

That said, people in the Fraser Canyon also need access to their member of parliament.

So, I have committed to people in the rural regions to make regular, scheduled visits throughout the year.”

Wismer said there is “something about this election campaign that has felt all wrong” to her and it has to do with political structure.

“There are two candidates – one for the Liberals and one for the Conservatives – who I would characterize as candidates representing monopoly right, and the right of wealthy enterprises, just as they have from the days of John A. MacDonald.”

She characterizes the other four candidates in the new riding, including herself, as people’s candidates in the sense that they share many common views.

“They have faith in the people as a force for change and for building Canada.”

She said the problem with the political structure is only one of these people can be elected.

“But all of those peo-

ple could continue to contribute and are needed in a riding as large as this one.”

She said it’s clear that people from different areas of the riding want to elect someone they know and trust and has been involved in their particular area. Many of the candidates are unknown to many of the voters. She believes change is needed.

“The people should be part of the decisionmaking process itself and actually be able to vote on the issues as they come up in the future. A solution to the problem, I would say, is a change in the political structure that perhaps there could be a council for the whole riding in which someone is elected from the various different communities to deal with federal matters.”

WORLD ODYSSEY

Ingram: ‘It’s very positive’ From A3

and I think the seniors association membership is now seeing something that has the potential of coming to fruition. It’s very positive,” said Ingram.

He said that, in the past, seniors would be looking at all these different possibilities and ideas for a centre, but never really felt like any action was taking place.

“This time it’s gone beyond looking at possibilities. There is

a site. There is a process with respect to looking at some form of housing, that’s in place. And we will have a process whereby we can start planning the details for a seniors centre.”

Even if the plan for housing does not work out, Ingram said the centre can still be built on the property.

“A seniors centre is looking more definite than it has ever looked in the process.”

The concept for the pro-

posed facility has it being operated by the Mission Senior Centre Association, but with programming that would go beyond seniors themselves.

“I would hope all age groups would be in there for one reason or another at different times,” said Ingram, who called it a multi-generational site.

But he quickly added that some space within the facility would be dedicated solely to seniors programs.

RCMP: Missing man could be in Mission Ridge Meadows RCMP are asking for help in locating 26-year-old David Urquhart.

Cpl. Alanna Dunlop said Urquhart “was reported missing on August 31, 2015, but new information has surfaced leading investigators to seek the public’s help with our search.”

Urquhart is described as a Caucasian male, 5 foot 10 inches tall and weighing 161 pounds. He has short dark brown

hair, and was clean-shaven.

Police have learned the last time Urquhart was seen in Maple Ridge was in late August, but he is known to frequent other areas such as Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Mission, the Okanagan and Cariboo communities.

Anyone who has information regarding his whereabouts is asked to contact Ridge Meadows RCMP at 604-463-6251, or e-mail rm.inquiries@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.

testing on me and told me I was born with a weakness in my spine,” she said. “That and a stress fracture from all the falling made me stop. I was told if I kept doing figure skating I would paralyze myself.”

She decided to follow in the footsteps of her older sister Kailey Dirksen and pick up a set of clubs.

“I always wanted to do the same thing she was doing and she was very successful in golf so I did the same,” she said, laughing. “We’re both very competitive and I kind of wanted to beat her butt a little bit.”

Her father was also a motivating factor and the fact that she lived minutes from the Mission Golf and Country Club helped speed up her learning process with the sport.

“We’ve always had golf in our life and with

led down. I couldn’t stop smiling.”

The win sends Dirksen to the CCAA national golf championships, also in Chilliwack from Oct. 13 to 16. She will have home course advantage at the event, which sees some of the best young golfers from across the country compete.

“It’s good because we have such a huge advantage,” she said. “We know the course so well and what to expect and what to do when you’re in trouble. I’m out there playing almost everyday. I’d love to win and I know I have the ability do that.”

The 2013 MEI grad still has three years of athletic eligibility left at UFV and said she hopes to continue to learn and grow under the Cascades coaching staff.

but then had a breakthrough performance on Sept. 20 at the second tournament in Surrey. She placed first, beating out the second-place golfer by seven strokes.

“Starting off the year, I didn’t play as well as I could have,” she said, of the first tournament. “I felt a lot of pressure but the second week when I won at Northview it boosted my confidence quite a bit and I felt more comfortable.”

She continued the momentum with a second-place showing in Victoria on Sept. 27 and then capped off the season with a win in Chilliwack on Oct. 4.

The win in Chilliwack clinched Dirksen the Pacwest women’s title.

She shot an 83 and 76 to seal the victory.

“That was my best round of the season,” she said. “I started off a little rough but I pushed hard and buck-

the Mission course we can just walk there,” she said. “It was the best way for me to develop my game and my dad is friends with everyone there and they were so supportive so it helped.”

She admits that golf can be a frustrating game but it can also be extremely rewarding.

“I get all my anger out on the course,” she said, chuckling. “In figure skating, other people are judging what you do but I love how golf is based on your ability alone. I love the challenge of it.”

This year has seen Dirksen step up on the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) Cascades golf team and put together some impressive rounds. It’s her second year on the team and she’s evolved into a leadership role with the squad.

INTEGRITY

The word “integrity” comes from the Latin word “integritas,” meaning soundness or wholeness, and this is the same word from which we get the word “integer.”

A person of integrity, like an integer, is complete and whole. The American Heritage Dictionary defines integrity as: “n. 1. Steadfast adherence to a strict ethical code. 2. The state of being unimpaired; soundness. 3.

The quality or condition of being whole or undivided; completeness.” The first definition, steadfast adherence to a strict ethical code, is what we usually think of when we think of a person with integrity. That is, we think of someone who will not compromise their principles for some temporary gain or advantage. And although this definition seems to suggest that a person of integrity might be overly rigid in adhering to their ethical code, the third definition, the quality or condition of being whole or undivided, more aptly suggests that the person of integrity is someone who is of one mind and has an undivided spirit. You cannot be a person of integrity and serve both God and mammon. The calmness and composure that is the hallmark of the person of integrity comes naturally from having an undivided spirit and being wholly dedicated to right conduct.

Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE from the Mission Heritage Association on behalf of Fraser River Heritage Park

Fraser River Heritage Park is located on the site of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate mission school founded

by Father Leon Fouquet in the 1800s. The District of Mission grew around this early mission school. In the mid-1900s, the school ceased operating here, and the land fell into disuse. The buildings were demolished, and blackberries rapidly overtook the land and foundations. Developers eyed the land for its obvious potential.

Norma Kenney held other views, and she led a community-based team that suggested preserving the site of the original mission school as a park, one that would occupy the site where Mission began, and celebrate the beauty of this place, a ‘jewel’ that all could enjoy. The Mission Heritage Association worked diligently with all levels of government over several years to achieve that goal. In 1986, Fraser River Heritage Park was created, under the control of the Dewdney Alouette Regional District, now known as the Fraser Valley Regional District. Later, the 44 acres that comprise the Park were sub-leased to the District of Mission.

With the creation of the Park in 1986, the MHA assumed management of the lands and all operations.

Over three decades, wonderful things happened.

Blackberry bushes were cut back to expose wide open spaces. Norma Kenney House was built by many volunteers and with donations and giftsin-kind, and the Blackberry Kitchen began offering tantalizing treats, including products from the Park’s own blackberries. The Administration building was added. Various other structures like washrooms, the entrance gate, the picnic shelter, the band shell, and bell tower appeared, again with volunteer labour and donations and giftsin-kind. The Heritage Walk and perimeter trail and the bridge over D’Herbomez Creek were created. The Oyama Bell took a place of pride on the slope overlooking the Fraser River. The Truth and Reconciliation house posts graced the entrance lawn.

The rebirth of the Orchard commenced. The Knights of Columbus reconstructed the Grotto. Annual work plans and minutes, etc., were submitted to council at all times.

Over the years, dedicated staff members have managed the Park very carefully, and community volunteers have contributed their own time—9,464 hours in 2014 as an example—to help ensure that the beauty of this place is maintained.

The Park hosts many annual community events, including Canada Day celebrations, Old Car Sunday, the Twilight

Concert Series, Movies in the Park, star parties, Mission Folk Fest, Santa in the Park, weddings, games, kite flying, dog walking, strolling, picnicking, and families celebrating.

The Rose Garden and Rhododendron Garden have become favourite visits for many people. The Park is a highlight for all visitors to Mission. We raise $150,000 a year toward Park operations.

In this decade, the MHA board of directors moved forward on addressing some long-standing needs.

We secured seed funding from the District to create a badly needed maintenance facility and more washrooms.

In typical MHA fashion, we leveraged the original $250,000 grant to a value of $1,040,000 ‘in the ground’ today, improving our infrastructure as well. We relocated our Caretaker’s Suite from above the Blackberry Kitchen where it did not meet building code to a second storey above our washrooms. We constructed more space for the Blackberry Kitchen.

And, we embraced the concept of an astronomical observatory, and with $20,000 in lead funding from Mission Morning Rotary, and $100,000 from the provincial government, construction began, and we created the structure that sits on the site today, with a value of some $225,000 ‘in the ground’.

With all this work, some 96.4% of the Park remains

‘green space’, while only 3.6% is covered by buildings or our parking lot.

Last fall, as election time approached, some people expressed concern about the unfinished appearance of our construction projects. We explained our challenges: donated timber from the Tree Farm for our siding ran into delays. When it arrived, the company that had offered to mill it for free had changed ownership, and a new mill willing to donate their work had to be found. Then the newly-cut siding had to be stained with two coats of waterproof finishing and then dried, a long process. This work proceeded through election time, and we commenced erecting the siding early in the new year. But some people chose to make their concerns ‘an election issue’, their democratic right, of course. When the new council was elected, we sought an early meeting with them to bring them up to date on our work.

At that meeting, on December 30, 2014, we were given the contractual one year written notice that our maintenance agreement with the District would not be renewed. We were stunned. There had been no consultation, no discussion, no hint that anything was amiss, just the notice.

We hoped to continue discussions with the goal of

reaching a new agreement.

We were told a ‘new model of governance’ was forthcoming, yet such a new model has never been seen.

An ‘advisory committee’ is not a governance model.

Now, Mission’s Parks, Recreation and Culture department will run the Park.

We asked questions to determine WHY this had happened, but rumours, innuendos, misconceptions, accusations, and untruths became the order of the day. We answered everything that came to us with facts. Some statements were outlandish, others were simply misunderstandings.

Were these the reasons behind the surprising decision that had been taken? Why were questions not asked about these before a decision was made? Would it not have been better to proceed with accurate information rather than rumour?

Then on April 22nd, we received notice informing us that we would not continue to manage the Park at all. The MHA was told to wrap up our affairs

by December 31 2015, to cease all fundraising and other work on the Rotary Observatory, and that effective May 1, the District would assume all responsibility for our buildings. We were done.

A press release to this effect was forwarded to local media.

Naturally, we objected, and responded to media requests to hear our side of the story. We know this irritated the District, and we were told our actions were ‘divisive’ for the community, but then we had many people expressing their concern to us on our behalf, and it was the District that made this unpopular move in the first place. We continued to seek clarification from the District, as to WHY these actions had occurred without consultation. Their position, however, was firm: there would not be any change or modification to their decision. Our activities were described as “Amateur Hour at the Park”, a direct slight against the professionalism and work of many excellent people. Statements were made about ‘deficiencies’ and ‘code violations’, and the lack of a permit for the Observatory. We reminded the District that our construction was “a work in progress”—and that we had not yet completed many things cited. We disagreed with estimates of costs required to complete the work, and pointed out that District staff members were aware of every step taken in the Observatory project.

Each of our projects has been carefully planned with ample input by professionals in their fields. Statements to the contrary are simply untrue.

With the specific example

of the Observatory in mind, we are thrilled at the calibre of world-class people who have given their input for free because they believe we are ‘doing everything right’.

Much of the construction work on all our projects was accomplished with volunteer labour from professionals who were giving back to their community on their own time.

We believe this will be a very expensive change for Mission. We receive $155,000 annually from the District for our ‘maintenance contract’, but we fundraise another $150,000 a year to achieve our annual operating budget of over $300,000.

Where will that necessary money come from when that MHA is gone? Our annual work plans have always been approved by the District, and each of our current projects was duly presented to and approved by council. We have received hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations and gifts-in-kind for our projects. With the Observatory ‘repurposed’ to some unknown use and the other buildings soon to be run by the District, how will those donors who gave for our specific projects be compensated? We have discussed each of these topics with the District many times, but no change has been forthcoming.

And so we have come to this sad place. The MHA, which has carefully

and lovingly managed the Park for three decades, will evaporate like mist on the river at year’s end. We have read that the Observatory project is ‘dead’. The hopes and dreams of so many people for the Park’s future and for our new Observatory as a place of learning for all ages have been dashed. We grieve that the hard work of so many key volunteers, many of whom have committed countless hours to this wonderful place, have been trivialized by completely inappropriate statements. We grieve our pending departure from the Park, after three decades of careful management.

We appreciate the countless votes of confidence in our Association over three decades and in particular over the past many months. We thank everyone for your many suggestions, offers of support, and for your willingness to speak out on our behalf. We will thank as many as we can more formally in a coming edition of The Record.

Your partnership has been wonderful. Together, we have made Fraser River Heritage Park the jewel it truly is today. We are so very proud to have been involved with you all, and our memories of this time will last forever.

Our activities were described as “Amateur Hour at the Park”, a direct slight against the professionalism and work of many excellent people. Statements were made about ‘deficiencies’ and ‘code violations’, and the lack of a permit for the Observatory. We reminded the District that our construction was “a work in progress”—and that we had not yet completed many things cited. We disagreed with estimates of costs required to complete the work, and pointed out that District staff members were aware of every step taken in the Observatory project.

Each of our projects has been carefully planned with ample input by professionals in their fields. Statements to the contrary are simply untrue.

With the specific example

of the Observatory in mind, we are thrilled at the calibre of world-class people who have given their input for free because they believe we are ‘doing everything right’.

Much of the construction work on all our projects was accomplished with volunteer labour from professionals who were giving back to their community on their own time.

We believe this will be a very expensive change for Mission. We receive $155,000 annually from the District for our ‘maintenance contract’, but we fundraise another $150,000 a year to achieve our annual operating budget of over $300,000.

Where will that necessary money come from when that MHA is gone? Our annual work plans have always been approved by the District, and each of our current projects was duly presented to and approved by council. We have received hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations and gifts-in-kind for our projects. With the Observatory ‘repurposed’ to some unknown use and the other buildings soon to be run by the District, how will those donors who gave for our specific projects be compensated? We have discussed each of these topics with the District many times, but no change has been forthcoming.

And so we have come to this sad place. The MHA, which has carefully

and lovingly managed the Park for three decades, will evaporate like mist on the river at year’s end. We have read that the Observatory project is ‘dead’. The hopes and dreams of so many people for the Park’s future and for our new Observatory as a place of learning for all ages have been dashed. We grieve that the hard work of so many key volunteers, many of whom have committed countless hours to this wonderful place, have been trivialized by completely inappropriate statements. We grieve our pending departure from the Park, after three decades of careful management.

We appreciate the countless votes of confidence in our Association over three decades and in particular over the past many months. We thank everyone for your many suggestions, offers of support, and for your willingness to speak out on our behalf. We will thank as many as we can more formally in a coming edition of The Record.

Your partnership has been wonderful. Together, we have made Fraser River Heritage Park the jewel it truly is today. We are so very proud to have been involved with you all, and our memories of this time will last forever.

Dinner theatre troupe presents Wait Until Dark Theatre in the Country is presenting the thriller Wait Until Dark running now until Oct. 31.

The story is about a recently blinded and recently married

woman who is the victim of a home invasion.

Her husband is asked to hold a doll for a woman he doesn’t know as they get off an airplane. The woman

disappears. Later, she’s found dead by her former associates, smalltime hoods.

The thugs contrive a scheme to recover the doll, which contains a fortune in smuggled

heroin. They assume the woman’s blindness will enable them to search her apartment, under her very nose, for the doll.

She catches on to their plan and decides

that the only way to overcome the criminals is to wait until dark, when they will be as blind as she…if she can remember to disable every light in her home.

Theatre in the Country has taken over the former Whonnock Elementary School on 272nd Street and 100th Avenue, half way between downtown Mission and down-

town Maple Ridge.

To enjoy the roast beef buffet, see the engaging thriller and enjoy Theatre in the Country call 604-2599737 or go to theatreinthecountry.com.

Now that it’s fall, our road oad conditions are changing... g...

Get your vehicle ready for the roads ahead.

OCTOBER 2015

Mission City Record

Chamber celebrates Small Business Month As B.C. marks Small Business Month this October, the Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce is celebrating the vital role small businesses play in Mission. As we all know, small businesses are not only the backbone of many of our organizations, but are the life blood of the B.C. economy.

Small businesses represent 98% of all businesses in B.C. and employ over 1 million British Columbians. There is no doubt small business is a key driver of the provincial economies, as well as the local economies they do business in. For Mission over 1100 of all business licenses are either home based or have less than 5 employees, highlighting the resilience, determination and innovation of our small town entrepreneurs.

“Small businesses make up a major part of Mission’s business community and play a critical role in driving our local economy and creating jobs,” said Ann Harper, President of the Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce, “Small Business Month is a great opportunity for our community to celebrate these hard-working businesses that bring great ideas and entrepreneurial spirit to our town.”

As a member of the BC Chamber of Commerce, the Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce is part of active advocacy to support small businesses, including: •

•

The creation of and implementation of B.C.’s Small Business Accord; Cutting red tape by taking thousands of business out of the MMBC recycling regulation and working to implement mobile business licences in regions across the province;

"Small businesses make up a major part of Mission’s business community and play a critical role in driving our local economy and creating jobs" ANN HARPER

Heather Schular DIRECTOR

DIRECTOR

The Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce has always proactively been involved in promoting the vote for municipal, provincial and federal elections. At the time you are reading this article we will have already held our All Candidates Meeting which gives Mission businesses the opportunity to ask questions to all the candidates. I would like to offer the following if you are still deciding if you will actually vote or not!

DIRECTOR

DIRECTOR

Ilona Klimczak

At this particular time Canada’s economy is at a historic crossroads. Canada’s value proposition in the global economy has shifted dramatically since the "Great Recession" of 2008. Canada, now more than ever, must identify and champion opportunities where it can be a global leader.

DIRECTOR

This federal election, is definitely centred around the economic future of Canada, and your Chamber of Commerce sees this election as a pivotal moment for Canada’s economy. The decisions and actions in the near term will determine Canada’s economic success in the long term.

Allan Main LIAISON, C.F.N.F.

Carlo Billinger MDBA LIAISON

Randy Hawes DOM LIAISON

To be a good example to our children and grandchildren by exercising the right to vote as a symbol of our faith in democracy. By voting we send a signal of the importance of the choices we as adults make to secure a better future for ourselves, for our children, and generations who will follow.

Voting is our society’s great equalizer. No matter our station in life, income, ethnic heritage or social status, every citizen over age 18 has the same power of one vote.

Regret is preventable. October 20th is one day too late, and “could have, should

Ann Harper PRESIDENT

have” are sorry alternatives to acting.

Have a “no excuses” attitude by committing to vote, ask others to join us in voting, and promote a positive approach to making a difference among family, friends and colleagues.

Get out and vote!

Attention everyone 18 years and older…

October 19th. is our time to write history!

Doug Elias

DIRECTOR

To honor those in our military who courageously fight for us and our law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency workers who respond to our needs and defend the people at home. Those who sacrifice their personal well-being in the name of our safety and security deserve our respect.

To honor people who struggled for civil rights, women’s suffrage and the ideals of justice for all who’s diverse voices are essential for our nation’s moral health and community vitality.

It is appearing that with the release of the political parties platforms that every party vying to form government has a very different view of how Canada should set its course going forward. Balanced budgets vs. deficit spending, tax cuts vs. tax increases; more than in past years choices are quite clear.

History has shown that Canada weathered the recent economic turmoil better than most nations of the world and we all want to ensure Canada remains strong

and competitive in this fast-changing global market. The Chamber wants to see our economy grow and like everyone, we want more jobs for Canadians.

The outcome of this election will be central to ensuring we have a rising and sustainable standard of living and a strong economy that is able to generate the wealth we need to provide for our aging population and the social programs we cherish.

Never has the world seen such a portability of people, capital, products, and services. Competition for our businesses, and our economy as a whole, spans the globe.

Never in history has there been so much competition from emerging markets.

Despite our successes the fact is that ten years ago, we were the world’s 10th largest exporter… today, we rank 13th. Until recently we were the largest trade partner with the United States by a considerable margin. Looking at year to date statistics we are barely clinging to #1 with China set to surpass us sometime this year and that is with the Chinese economy slowing dramatically.

The Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce joins the British Columbia Chamber

of Commerce and Chambers across Canada in calling on political parties to engage with businesses and commit to practical solutions and actions in the four areas that are critical to the competitiveness of the Canadian economy: •

Access to a Powerful Workforce

•

Access to Capital

•

Access to Technology and Innovation

•

Access to Markets

These key measures along with stable government are the best way to enable the Canadian business community to compete and win in the global economy.

A thriving economy is the only way to create great jobs for young people, develop new technologies right here at home, and produce the wealth that pays for the education, infrastructure, health care and the other advantages we value as Canadians.

With the choices ahead of us now, the upcoming election is a unique opportunity for us to shape a Canada that is stronger, more economically stable, and more competitive.

Please remember to vote on October 19th - It is our time to write history!

Trendy or What Knot owner Mady Pechler invites you to come in to knit, crochet or have fun exploring her trendy yarn finds.

Spotlight on Excellence: Bringing world trends into local focus: Trendy or What Knot CLICK MEDIA WORKS

Kathleen Rake

Trendy or What Knot Yarns & Gifts, the 2015 recipient of the Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Award--Local Focus, was born in the spring of 2014 of owner Mady Pechler’s own love of knitting and her habit of travelling the Lower Mainland to take in new yarn trends and unique finds.

“Every time my sister-in-law—a fellow hobby knitter and yarn lover—visited from the Netherlands, we’d head out on a weekend journey of new yarn discovery. It wasn’t unusual to head to Vancouver, the Island, or Sunshine Coast to explore what knitters and other yarn lovers were doing,” ex-

plained Pechler. “And always we’d run into people who were doing the same.”

So she decided to create a destination for other “yarn explorers” on 1st Ave. in downtown Mission.

Today Pechler brings in yarn from all over the world, and customers from all over B.C. She watches Europe closely to see what the trends are there today, knowing they will follow soon here in Canada. “I am ahead of the curve as often as possible,” she said. A good example of that is the chunky, big yarn made from t-shirt fabric that can be crocheted into a purse, rug, throw pillow, or whatever else your imagination allows.

In addition to myriad yarns, Pechler

offers knitting and crochet supplies, classes and workshops, as well as a place where “people can just come in with their projects, sit at the table to work, and ask questions if they need help.”

A number of yarn-related hand-made items from local artisans, who sell their pieces at Trendy or What Knot on consignment, are found within the store.

“We are so glad to help locals sell their wares,” said Pechler. “And we are happy to be able to provide space to a local jeweller, Studio KiKaBoe, and the Mission Weavers & Spinners Guild’s Loom Room.”

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

Spotlight on Business: CHIROPRACTIC Just Turned “Awesome” CLICK MEDIA WORKS

There is a new shingle up at the Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce office and Visitor Centre on Lougheed Highway; more accurately, there is a new sign, and this one is big, bright and pink.

Say hello to Dr. Nicole Landgraf, an experienced chiropractor, who has been practicing since 1998 and is welcoming new patients from Mission and area to Awesome Chiropractic.

“In addition to working with people who have been injured at work or play, or who suffer chronic pain, I focus much of my practice on children, families and pregnant women,” said Nicole, “so I wanted a business name that would resonate with the kids. That’s why I chose Awesome Chiropractic.”

plained Nicole. “I was in a four-car accident and badly injured when I was just 17. It was chiropractic care that facilitated my healing and sparked my passion to help others.”

And she should know what resonates with kids; Nicole and her husband Chad have four children (including one set of twins) all under the age of six.

Nicole uses a gentle adjusting technique called Activator alongside a holistic approach to patient health care and will not hesitate to work with other practitioners to make sure her patients receive the best possible all-around care.

Nicole is available to see patients by appointment Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings, and Monday through Thursday evenings.

Connecting talent with employers Looking for the right talent? WorkBC Eligible participants must be unemployed, provides B.C. employers with a comlegally entitled to work in Canada, not reprehensive website that includes inforlated to the employer, lack some of the mation to help support and grow their skills required for the job, and have an business, as well as access to a job board attachment to Employment Insurance, that helps employers find quality talent which the WorkBC Employment Service through free job postings. Check out: Centre in Mission can determine. www.workbc.ca/Employers.aspx or Customized Employment (CE) and Job Mission’s website : www.fvessc.com Carving (JC) opportunities also benefit Wage Subsidy Service employers and job seekers.

The Employment Program of BC pays a wage subsidy to employers who hire and provide on-the-job training to an eligible job seeker. A win-win situation occurs when the worker gains new skills and experience, and the employer gains a trained employee and financial acknowledgement of the time it takes to conduct that training.

If you need to fill a long term position that offers 35 hours or more per week, you may be eligible to receive up to 50% of the new worker's wages. Wage Subsidy agreements are negotiated individually, based on several factors. Please note that the contract must be negotiated and approved before the employee starts work.

• Customized employment is a flexible process designed to personalize the employment relationship between a job candidate and an employer in a way that meets the needs of both.

• Job carving is the act of analyzing work duties performed in a given job and identifying specific tasks that might be assigned to an employee with disabilities.

Community and Employer Partnerships are intended to help those facing multiple barriers to employment and client inclusion groups find work by identifying indemand skills and employment opportunities, as well as providing hands-on train-

ing and work experience in communities across B.C. Funding is available for community projects that focus on increasing employability and sharing labour market information throughout B.C. in four ways: • Job Creation Partnerships provide funding to organizations to help with community-based projects by providing valuable work experience and skills enhancement to eligible jobseekers.

• Labour Market Partnerships fund community organizations to develop and implement ways to address the local labour market or urgent community employment issues.

Mission City Record

Three’s A Party tour Fun flappers fundraiser The Three’s A Party Tour is stopping in Mission.

The tour features Jason Blaine, Tebey and James Otto and takes place on Friday, Nov. 27 at the Clarke Theatre.

Fun, family, friends and faith are the cornerstones of life for Blaine. This Top 5 Canadian Radio and CMT Canada artist grabbed a guitar at age eight and started writing songs at 16, but it was entering his 30s that brought balance to his life.

With five albums under his belt, Blaine has definitely found solid footing.

“Songwriting used to be easy until I got better at it. You learn how good something needs to be and the attention to detail,” he said.

Every track on the debut album for Tebey proves his songwriting chops are just as highly developed as his talents as a performer.

The Mission Museum will be hosting a 1920s Fashion Show Fundraiser at the Cedarbrooke Chateau (32331 7th Avenue) on Saturday, Oct. 10 from 1 to 4 p.m.

Afternoon tea will be served and guests will be treated to live entertainment, a costume contest, a photographic presentation featuring historical snapshots of Mission during the Roaring 20s courtesy of the Mission Community Archives, and a curated 1920s fashion show featuring gems from that most interesting decade

His 2002 single We Shook Hands (Man to Man) broke the Top 40 US Billboard Country Singles Chart and peaked at #3 in Canada, earning him a Canadian Radio Music Award nomination for Best New Male Country Artist.

Otto is 100 per cent country with a heart full of soul. The old-school R&B grit in his voice generates a sound somewhere between Nashville and Memphis.

His hit Just Got Started Loving You was declared the No. 1 Country Single of 2008

by Billboard.

Otto was one of the co-founders of Nashville’s genre-bending Muzik Mafia, whose weekly club shows were the springboard to stardom for pals like Big & Rich and Gretchen Wilson.

Doors open at 7 p.m., and the performance, presented by Rock.It Boy Entertainment and 107.1, starts at 7:30 p.m.

in fashion history.

Guests will also have the opportunity to bid on a showcase of treasures donated by local artisans and merchants.

Tickets are $25 for adults or $15 for children ages 12 and under and include entry into the show and the chance to win a door prize.

Tickets are available at the Mission Museum gift shop or purchase them online at missionmuseum.com.

The Mission Museum is located at 33201 2nd Avenue in Mission and is open to the pub-

lic from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays and 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturdays.

To buy tickets for this event, please drop by during open hours, or visit online at missionmuseum.com.

For more information, contact Meghan Dahl at 604-826-1011, or email info@missionmuseum. com.

The Mission District Historical Society operates three branches: the Mission Museum, the Mission Community Archives and the Heritage Places branch.

REGINA Antonietta (Annette) June 16, 1944 ~ October 1, 2015 We are deeply saddened to announce the loss of Antonietta (Annette) Regina on October 1, 2015. She was predeceased by her husband Mike. Survived by her children Tom, Maria (Lucio), Rosa, her grandchildren Nicholas, Tianna, Jacob, and extended family in Vancouver and Italy. She immigrated to Canada in 1964 and began to establish her new life here. A few years later she met her true love Mike. They married and started their family. Antonietta was kind, compassionate and loved with all her heart. Her home and family was her life and she always took pride in being a wife, mother, and nonna. Her love shined through everything she did, especially her wonderful cooking, and this will be deeply missed by all.

She had a warm spirit that made anyone who met her feel welcome and comfortable.…. she was everyone’s mamma or nonna. She will never be forgotten and her love will live on in our hearts forever. Although we are sad that she has passed away, we are comforted in knowing she is at peace and reunited in heaven with her soulmate and with other loved ones previously departed. We know that she will be watching over us.

Ciao per ora.

Essere felici e godere la vostra vita.

An informal celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Online condolences to the family may be made to:

OBITUARIES

DYER Ivan Ivan passed away at the Menno Hospital on October 2, 2015 at the age of 97. Predeceased by wife Barbara. They enjoyed one another’s company for 71 years and had many, many adventures together including boating down the Inland Waterway from Montreal to Florida four times, developing a real estate business, building houses, travelling the U.S. and Canada and many other ventures which always kept the two of them busy. Finally settling in BC, Ivan and Barbara first moved to Mission, Salt Spring and finally to Abbotsford, where they spent their retirement years.

Packing 3 lifetimes into one is an amazing feat, but that’s what this little guy did; leaving behind many, many friends.

Survived by son Bob, daughter Nancy (Grant) Dohery, grandchildren Hugh Dyer and Evan Dohery, sister-in-law Dureen (Rolf) Zeller and niece Susan and Karen.

Heartfelt thanks to the staff at Menno Home East 2 for all the loving care they took of Dad and Mom in their remaining years.

A Celebration of Ivan’s life will take place on October 15, 2015 at 2:00 pm at Funeral Chapel, A Simple Cremation, 11969 216th Street, Maple Ridge, BC.
