Businesses battle break-ins Police tracking suspects as downtown deals with 19 incidents over the past four months Kevin Mills Mission Record

Nineteen businesses in Mission’s downtown core have been broken into, or have been targeted by break-in attempts, in the past four months, according to the downtown business association.

That’s just under one-fifth of the busi-

nesses in the area.

Jamie Hayes, executive director of the Mission Downtown Business Association, said the break-ins are becoming an epidemic.

She said in most cases that she has heard of, no “big ticket items” have been stolen, just “whatever was lying around.”

“The thing that I find perplexing is that some of the businesses that are

being targeted have been surprising.

There are some businesses where you would think that there is nothing to steal,” said Hayes.

While she would not name any of the sites that have fallen victim to thieves, she said some of them were office buildings.

“In the end, it is just a nuisance for the business that they have to deal with

this. It’s violating, inconvenient and it’s costly.”

But Hayes said downtown isn’t the only area that is being impacted. Other businesses have been hit. She said many owners are getting frustrated and angry.

Hayes is encouraging business owners to report everything to police, even if it Continued on A3

Minor collision nets fugitive Yvan Savard went to police station to collect belongings A minor motor vehicle collision last week led to the arrest of a federal parolee from Quebec who had been on the run for over a year.

On the afternoon of Dec. 29, Mission RCMP were called to the scene of a minor collision between a car and a cyclist in the 32100 block of Lougheed Highway.

A 57-year-old man riding a bicycle the wrong way on Lougheed Highway had crossed in front of a car turning onto the street from a parking lot. The cyclist was taken to hospital but did not suffer any significant injuries. Police secured the cyclist’s bicycle and personal belongings.

The following morning, the cyclist went to the Mission RCMP detachment to retrieve his property.

He found police were suspicious of the false name he had provided at the collision scene prior to being transported to hospital.

The investigating officers had determined that the cyclist’s real identity was Yvan Savard, who had been wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for breach of parole since he failed to report to his community corrections facility in Montreal in July 2014.

It is believed he has been living in the Lower Mainland area for over a year, using multiple aliases to evade capture. Savard has a lengthy criminal record, which includes numerous violence- and firearms-related convictions. He was arrested by police and returned to federal custody.

Property owners around B.C. received assessment notices this week, with most seeing an increase in the value of their homes.

House values on the rise Single-family homes up five to 10 per cent The value of single-family homes in Mission rose on average between five and 10 per cent, according to BC Assessment, which sent out notices this week to hundreds of thousands of property owners across the region.

A homeowner of a typical Mission house assessed at around $330,000 last year could expect an increase of between $12,000 and $30,000 in their home’s value.

The exact change in a home’s assessed value depends on a variety of factors, including the size, location and age of a house.

Because all homeowners pay the same residential tax rates, those whose assessed homes rose more than the city average will see their share of the tax bill increase, while those whose properties increase at a below-average rate (or decreased) may see their tax bills fall.

The assessed value of single-family homes in Mission increased, on average, between five and 15 per cent over the previous year.

Townhouses in Mission saw their assessed value rise between zero and five per cent, while the value of a typical condo saw no significant changes.

The total assessed value of residential proper-

ties in Mission rose 5.53 per cent over the previous year. Properties in the “business and other” class, which includes retail properties, office buildings and warehouses, increased 5.77 per cent.

Across the region, assessed values increased substantially, with properties in South Delta and parts of Richmond seeing the largest rises.

“The majority of residential homeowners within the region can expect a modest increase, compared to last year’s assessment,” said deputy assessor Brian Smith.

Overall, the Fraser Valley’s total assessments increased from $294.1 billion in 2015 to $321.1 billion this year.

A total of almost $6.031 billion of the region’s updated assessments is from new construction, subdivisions and rezoning of properties. Across the province, the total value of real estate rose 11.1 per cent to $1.34 trillion from the previous year.

Properties are assessed based on their market value on July 1, 2015 and their physical condition on Oct. 1, 2015. Those concerned about their assessment can submit a notice of complaint by Feb. 1 for an independent review.

“We had no light at the end of the tunnel,” Jefferson said.

Now, unexpectedly, the tunnel is in the rearview and darkness has given way to light. The question now is how long can it last.

To that end, administrators will be closely watching the next count in nine months time to see if the 2015 enrolment surge was an anomaly or a sign of things to come.

“We think this may be a reversal of the declining enrolment trend,” Jefferson said, before cautioning that “This is only one year.”

An unexpected enrolment increase in the Mission school district has been confirmed by the Ministry of Education, bringing with it around $1 million in new funding.

The number of students in Mission’s public schools had been dropping for years, and the district had been expecting enrolment to decline by around 25 students this year. Instead, counts at the start of the school year saw the number of students increase by 139 to a total of 5,535. The increase was completely unexpected and defied years of declining student numbers.

The additional funds have already been allocated both to increase staffing levels and to purchase equipment for the new combined high school.

Secretary-treasurer Wayne Jefferson pointed to two possible triggers for the enrolment increase: the creation of a single high school, and more people moving to the area, possibly because of lower house prices compared to Lower Mainland municipalities further west.

Across the Fraser River, Abbotsford also saw a dramatic and unexpected surge in the number of students. There, administrators had projected a 48-student decrease, but instead found themselves absorbing 190 more students into local schools.

Chehalis River Valley landfill proposal stirs passions Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

The Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) board is expected to vote in February on whether to give the go-ahead to a proposed landfill for contaminated soil in the Chehalis River Valley.

Statlu Resources has proposed to extract gravel from a site 10 kilometres up the Chehalis Forest Service Road and back-fill it with remediated soil sourced from contaminated sites like gas stations, car repair shops and dry cleaners.

Around 80 people attended a public meeting in December, with most voicing opposition to the proposal, which would be located about half a kilometre from the Chehalis River.

Statlu’s proposal calls for between 350 to 1,000 tonnes of soil to be dumped at the site each work day. In a technical assessment commissioned by the company and delivered prior to the meeting, a consulting firm reported that the soil could contain “residual petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and heavy metals.”

But Statlu president Earl Wilder stressed that the material is “not a hazardous waste,” and presently dumped elsewhere in the Lower Mainland with less care than his plan envisions.

Statlu’s technical assessment envisions a double-bottom lined fill site, with a wastewater purification system to treat effluent.

“Due to the distance between the effluent discharge point and the Chehalis River and that the minimum daily flow in Chehalis River is more than 1,000,000 times of the effluent flow, we consider it to be a low potential that the discharge of treated water will have a significant impact on the Chehalis River,” the technical report states.

Wilder said the chances of a spill were one in 400 million – more than 10 times less likely than a lottery win. Having trucks transporting materially both to and from the site aims to improve the economic feasibility of the site, and Wilder said the project would create jobs and other economic benefits for the region.

Downstream, though, there is concern about the proposal. One resident expressed worries that any

problems at any soil landfill up the valley would impact the river and the drinking water of those down river.

“I can see the creek from my house and it feeds the water supply for the whole subdivision down here,” he said. “It’s something of a concern to everybody down here.”

In its November report, FVRD staff said there were both benefits and drawbacks to the plan,

They’re coming into a watershed; they’re coming into a rainforest.

Alec Niemi which follows several others from Statlu, including a now-abandoned proposal that would have seen automobile residue disposed of at the site.

Planner David Bennett wrote that the remoteness of the site would reduce conflicts with residents, although truck traffic would still be seen. But he added that “the Chehalis River Valley is viewed as a wilderness area that supports resource extraction, tourism, recreation and ecological functions. A landfill is not consistent with this view.”

Area C director Alec Niemi said he hasn’t taken a position on the proposal, to allow others to make up their minds independently. He said, though, that the company has “a pretty good sales job on their hands” to convince local residents to back the project.

“They’re coming into a watershed; they’re coming into a rainforest.”

Wilder, though, said opposition to the plan is based on misinformation.

“The fuss is way out of control because of a lack of knowledge,” he said. “It’s the best site in the whole Lower Mainland that’s ever been discovered.”

The FVRD’s electoral area services committee will receive a report next week. Subsequent reports are expected in February prior to a vote on the necessary rezoning for the project.

OPINION

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

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Keeping public in the loop It’s become a go-to phrase for all levels of government – local, provincial and federal.

When faced with fallout from an unpopular decision – or simply dissatisfaction with the way that a certain sequence of events shakes out – politicians and bureaucrats seem to all have the same default position: “In hindsight, we could have done a better job with communication.�

The fact is, no matter how large or small the public-relations budget, a culture that keeps taxpayers in the loop on evolving decisions is something that comes from the top down.

Suspicion of politicians and bureaucrats runs so rampant these days that it is far from wise policy for anyone in government to allow such a situation to continue – particularly when much criticism could be averted

Has the assessed value of your home increased significantly from last year?

simply by taking a more inclusive approach.

Naturally, in the process of governing or administrating, there is some information that is sensitive for reasons of confidentiality or legality, and which cannot be shared indiscriminately. The public, generally speaking, is not asking for this. Nor is the public asking for glossy brochures, dazzling photos or press releases giddy with spin.

Straightforward summary of progress on issues would be good, however. As well, we would welcome a sense that those in office believe public consultation is about more than the legally required meetings.

It may come as news to some, but we don’t elect politicians or hire bureaucrats to act in a vacuum. It is called “public office� and “public service� for a reason. – Black Press

Waterfront plans stalled by lack of land for developers Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

The development of Mission’s waterfront hinges, in part, on individual property owners’ willingness to join forces and sell their land in larger chunks, Mayor Randy Hawes said.

To that end, Hawes said the district is hoping to organize a meeting among those who own developable land on and near the waterfront within the coming months.

So far, the long-soughtafter development of the waterfront has eluded the district. Hawes attributes that to the difficulty companies and developers have in assembling large enough blocks of land to make it attractive to those looking to build or set up shop in the area.

“There are too many individual pieces of property with individual owners,” he said.

In addition to the Fraser River, Mission’s waterfront is blessed with highway and rail access, as well as relatively close proximity to the U.S.-Canada border.

But while he said the district has regularly received inquiries

from companies curious about moving to a waterfront location suitable for industry, those businesses have thus far found it impossible to obtain land.

“Waterfront is not something that many cities have and our waterfront can be extremely valuable if used the right way,” he said.

They need to come together to make land assembly much easier.

Another delay in murder case The court case of the man accused of the murder of Eleanor (Ele) Anthonysz and the attempted murder of her two children was adjourned again on Monday.

Walter Joseph Ramsay is scheduled for another court date on Feb. 18, but that will only see lawyers and a Supreme Court justice deal with scheduling matters.

Ramsay had been scheduled to enter a plea in December, but that appearance was adjourned as defence lawyer Paul McMurray said there were still issues to be worked out.

Anthonysz, 33, died after fire broke out early in the morning of April 17, 2014 in her trailer in the Green Acres Mobile Home Park near Hatzic Lake.

Her 11-year-old daughter and eight-year-old son escaped the fire.

Randy Hawes Instead of landowners seeking to individually profit from those companies seeking land, Hawes suggested a group approach is needed if the district’s waterfront is to finally entice larger companies to set up shop in the area.

“They need to come together to make land assembly much easier,” he said.

Hawes also said the district has to look at how to free up

land in the area that is currently in the Agriculture Land Reserve, but which is of limited productivity or not well used.

“It is doing nothing, yet the ALR holds onto it like it’s the best land in the province,” he said.

Hawes suggested the district might be able to engineer a trade that would see land elsewhere placed in the ALR in order to allow for the removal of the waterfront properties. He also noted that there are permitted uses of ALR land that allow for agriculture-friendly businesses to operate.

The plans for the waterfront date back years. In 2006, the district developed a concept plan that envisioned a mix of commercial, residential and industrial uses. That was followed by a 2009 study on the possible constraints to redevelopment. Additional studies received by the district in 2010 and 2011 assured council that a residential and commercial development was viable under market conditions then.

This map from a 2011 study shows that private owners hold the vast majority of property on Mission’s waterfront.

Swahili speakers needed A number of churches and community groups working to sponsor refugees need help from volunteers who speak Swahili.

Three families, totalling 14 people, will come to Mission soon from a refugee camp in Burundi. They fled the Congo six years ago and have been approved for travel by the Canadian government some time ago.

The community has been generous in donating household needs for the families, but there is still one major outstanding need. Only one of those coming to Mission can speak

any English. The rest speak Swahili.

The host groups are looking for a group of Swahili-speaking people who can help make the refugees feel welcome and help them become comfortable in Canada.

To help, contact Rick Rake at Mission Community Services (604826-3634).

Stone Soup raffle raises more than $15,000 Kevin Mills Mission Record

Jack Fedora was the lucky winner of a $4,000 pendant, but it was the Stone Soup Initiative that was the real winner.

Fedora’s name was drawn just before Christmas, as the fundraising raffle came to a close.

The raffle raised $15,410, which will be used to help battle homelessness in Mission.

Paul Horn, one of Stone Soup’s project leaders, said the money will go towards two specific initiatives – the Anything Possible Program, which helps put people back to work, and the Ready to Rent program, which helps people who are currently homeless find out how they can rent and maintain a place to live.

Horn said the support for the raffle was incredible.

“We really hope that people are inspired to continue giving as a community, which is what Stone Soup is all about.”

Horn also praised the work being done by Mission Community Services.

“The most important thing they are giving to people is

Mayor Randy Hawes picks the name of the person who would win a $4,000 pendant at the culmination of a Stone Soup fundraiser.

Kevin Mills photo hope. It’s much more important than a roof or a job or a full fridge because if we give those things to people, and they don’t have hope attached to them, then they don’t really solve anybody’s problems.”

Ken Selvaraja, owner of Lanka Jewels, was on hand to watch the draw and complimented Horn for his hard

work.

“You know, to make a pot of soup, you need a lot of stuff – pot, pan, ingredients, the fire – and I think the one who puts the package together is Paul.

Paul is an amazing man.”

Selvaraja donated the pendant to Stone Soup to help support the program and the community.

Nature Club receives donation The Abbotsford Mission N a t u re Club has received a $1,500 donation from the Christian Labour Association of Canada (CLAC) as part of its Building C o m m u n i t i e s

Together program.

The organization was nominated by Jack Van Dyke, who is a member of CLAC local 29.

Van Dyke said the Nature Club’s aim is to cultivate an un-

derstanding and appreciation of natural ecosytems.

“Over the past few years, the club has volunteered its services to enhance nature at Willband Creek Park. The park

has many trails and serves as a major water retention area in the Matsqui Prairie area of the Fraser Valley,” he said.

The club has participated in planting more than 1,000 trees and shrubs in the nature park. The donation will allow the club to do more planting and maintain the trees and shrubs, as well as to enhance wildlife-viewing opportunities.

Just drop by: EVERYONE WELCOME!

New Patients Welcome!

Country singer Corb Lund is bringing his Winter Campaign 2016 tour to Mission on Sunday, Jan. 31 at the Clarke Theatre.

Recorded with his long-time band, The Hurtin’ Albertans (Grant Siemens on electric guitar and lap steel, Kurt Ciesla on bass and Brady Valgardson on drums), Things That Can’t Be Undone is a new mature set of songs that pairs Lund’s sharp songcraft with a bevy of new sounds, thrust-

ing together his mix of Americana, rollicking honkytonk and alt-country.

The end result is a lively and loose record influenced heavily by 1960s and ’70s rock and country.

On Washed-Up Rock Star Factory Blues, Lund offers an uproarious response to Johnny Paycheck’s classic Take This Job and Shove It. In the powerful Sadr City, an Easterninfluenced psychedelic guitar riff sets the scene for a tragic

tale about the Siege of Sadr City, continuing Lund’s tradition of military songs that he began in 2007 with Horse Soldier! Horse Soldier!

Loss is a prevalent theme on the record and takes several different forms throughout.

The Clarke theatre is located at 33700 Prentis Ave. in Mission.

Tickets are $42.50 and are available at all Ticketmaster locations or online at ticketmaster.ca.

Country singer Corb Lund will play at the Clarke Theatre on Jan. 31.

Mission’s Bryce Pisiak opened the scoring, but North Vancouver scored two late goals to build a 2-1 lead after the first period. Outlaws forward Baylee Wright tied the game in the second period, but the Wolf Pack scored five unanswered goals to earn the 7-2 win.

The penalty kill hurt Mission, as the Wolf Pack scored three power play goals on seven opportunities.

Outlaws goalie Jeffrey Veitch made 28 saves in the loss.

Mission returned to the Minoru Arena on Saturday and defeated the Port Moody Black Panthers 3-1.

David McGowan and Nate Castonguay scored first-period goals for the Outlaws, with Pisiak adding an insurance goal in the second. Mission scored two power play goals in the win, and Veitch stopped 26 shots for the win.

The results see the Outlaws out of first place for the first time since October, as they now sit one

point behind the first-place Abbotsford Pilots in the Harold Brittain conference.

Mission next hosts the Langley Knights at the Mission Leisure Centre on Saturday.

Faceoff is set for 6:45 p.m.

In other Outlaws news, the club traded the playing rights of goalie Gunnar Neilsen to the Bonnyville Pontiacs of the Alberta Junior League in exchange for future considerations. Neilsen had a record of 10 wins and

four losses, a goalsagainst average of 3.01 and a .919 save percentage this season with Mission.

The Outlaws also announced on Dec. 30 that they have acquired the playing rights of defenceman Arshdeeep Shergill from the Pilots for future considerations.

Shergill had played four games with the Pilots this season and recorded two points.

Four Mission Secondary School swimmers competed at the BC High School Provincial Swim Championships held last month in Kamloops.

The swimmers, from Grade 11 and 12, included Justin King, Brooke Kienan, Nolan Paul and Sophie Bryant.

Bryant won a gold medal and broke the provincial record in the girls’ 50metre breaststroke.

She swam the race in 34.50 seconds, breaking the record by a full second The high school swim team is rela-

tively new for Mission.

“We started training in September.

The season is really short so we trained for about a month before we had regionals,” Bryant said.

She and Paul also help coach the squad, which is made up of swimmers who also have club experience.

Bryant explained that the high school swim season is so short, about a month and a half, that swimmers have to be involved in other swim clubs in order to train properly.

The four swimmers have all trained previously with the Mission Marlins and some worked out with the Spartans in Chilliwack.

I recently bumped into Thomas Hodgson, the guy with the bushiest beard probably in the Fraser Valley.

He certainly wasn’t hard to miss by any stretch of the imagination as I sat in a restaurant. I shared with him that his hairy reddish beard was very impressive and he shared that it goes past his waist. I have seen my fellow Sikh brothers with beards like these, but not a Caucasian person, except for Santa, of course. I was told once that people with beards hold much wisdom.

Hodgson, who has been growing his beard for two years, says he gets a lot of strange responses from people. Women have asked him to shave it off and his response to them is to stop wearing makeup.

He explains that small children are always pleasKen ant with him and usually hold no judgments or biases. Adults and teenagers are the worst, he explains.

“Rarely do I get a positive reaction from an adult or teens. Women in their 20s are scared and intimidated and same goes for men. Older women and men are very judgmental and stare for a long time, and make really puzzled looks and that’s the same for people who have grown up here.”

Hodgson says he feels alienated through all of this, especially when looking for employment, where many employers have asked him to shave it off.

He lost his job a year ago, and has a hard time finding a job, because many have judged him because of this very reason, but he refuses to shave it off. He says people are far more judgmental in the Fraser Valley than in the metro surroundings.

On the bright side, there are people who find it fascinating. They are usually the ones who cannot grow beards, while some just find it intriguing. It’s all not negative, according to Hodgson, but he still loves the person who he is and the beard, which makes him, who he is.

■■■■■ The Fraser Valley Cultural Diversity Awards are approaching quickly with the deadline around the corner on Jan. 12 and the awards ceremony on March 4 at the Ramada Plaza and Conference Centre in Abbotsford. Having been a past recipient of the Champion of Diversity in 2007, I was honoured to receive this recognition.

With this award comes a responsibility to continue to serve. There are five award categories and never a shortage of outstanding nominees that showcase our community’s commitment to cultural diversity.

The event is always sold out with fine representatives from our community. The time has come that award organizers and judges should consider expanding and awarding two awards for each category. In doing this, we touch more people and create more mentors.

One thing I hear often from volunteers is they never get recognized for their work, and this would be a small way to change this perception. Having a few extra recipients will not only encourage organizations to continue to do their work, but also bring new nominees into the fold. kenherar@gmail.com

RUTTAN Victoria V. November 18, 1920 ~ December 27, 2015 It is with sadness in our hearts that we announce the passing of Vicki Ruttan in Kamloops, BC. She is predeceased by her husband Claude Ruttan, parents James and Annie Stokes, sisters Muriel, Lillian, Alma, Mable, Ida, Christina, Mildred and brothers Alex, Art and Jimmy.

Victoria is survived by her daughter Merilyn (Ed) Britten, son Gary Ruttan, sisters Doreen Smythe and Evelyn (Bob) Anderson, brother Tommy (Joyce Stokes). Also she will be dearly missed by her grandchildren Susan, Vincent, Tiffany and great grandchild Kay-Ellen and nieces and nephews as well as many dear friends.

Vicki was born in Goodwater, Sask., raised in Regina, Sask. and moved to Mission, BC with her parents and some siblings.

She met and married Claude Ruttan and raised their two children in Mission, BC. Vicki worked for Aylmers Cannery, E.I. Buckerfields and the Co-op during her working years.

She and Claude spent many happy times at the cabin they built in the Caribou. They also traveled to California several times making new friends.

Eventually they moved to Nanaimo where Claude passed away.

Vicki was in a complete loss without him beside her where she cherished the cuddles that they shared in the hospital bed to their last kiss. After that she took as many walks she could to find a path where life may take her, the memories that will always be remembered and tears of heart break.

With help from friends and family, she ventured out took up roller blading at the age of 77. She learnt the hard way, she fell and realized that this was not for her. Her next adventure was learning how to kayak. Vicki enjoyed this very much as her travels took her to the harbor and back.

Vicki and her niece traveled to Hong Kong as she wanted to see where her sister-in-law was held as a prisoner of war by the Japanese. She also went on a river rafting trip down the Fraser River. Vicki learnt that with family and friends around she was never alone and that Claude was still beside her through every adventure she had taken. May we all learn from a strong lady like Vicki.

We, Vicki’s family would like to thank Pine Grove Care Home and there staff for the wonderful care she received.

Arrangements entrusted to First Memorial Funeral Service Kamloops, (250) 554-2429.
