Free naloxone kits available in rural, remote locations

Program targets Mission’s outer area Kevin Mills Mission Record

A new program is providing free takehome naloxone (THN) kits to people living in the rural areas surrounding Mission. Three locations have been established where kits can be picked up at no cost, but they are not located in health-care facilities or government buildings; rather, they are in local businesses. “The project is looking at establishing novel sites in the rural and remote areas around Mission that can distribute takehome naloxone kits,” said public health nurse Judith Pellerin. “There are lots of places within the urban areas that distribute the kits – access is pretty easy – but in the rural areas, folks out there really didn’t have anywhere to access without coming into town.” Kits can be picked up at the Dewdney General Store, Sasquatch Crossing Eco Lodge, and the Chehalis Store and gas station. Business owners are given a tablet that is pre-loaded with a training video. When a person comes in looking for a kit, they will be asked if they have seen the training video. If not, they are referred to the tablet to watch a three-and-a-half-minute video

on how to administer the naloxone, and then they get a kit. Public health, through the BC Centre for Disease Control, is providing the kits free of charge for people who are eligible. “Anybody can go into a pharmacy and purchase a kit; it doesn’t require any kind of prescription. However, for the publicly funded ones, the eligibility is if you are a person who uses substances – they’re not defined, just substances – or if you are a friend or family member of somebody who does use substances, you are eligible. “The idea is, if you have people in your life that use substances, you may have the opportunity to witness an overdose and, therefore, we want to get a kit into that person’s hands so that they can save a life,” Pellerin said. The government-funded project is called the Mission Rural and Remote THN Project and was made possible from a grant through the province’s Community Action Initiative. Fraser Health, the Fraser House Society and Mission Community Services have joined forces to make the project a reality. The project is approximately one year long and will end in late October. Even after the program ends, the distribution sites that have been established Continued on A5

COUNTRY TRIBUTE

Insp. Stephen Corp becomes the officer in charge The Mission RCMP has a new top cop. The District of Mission announced on July 4 that Insp. Stephen Corp will become the office in charge of the Mission RCMP detachment. Corp will replace Insp. Annette Fellner, who announced in May that she had been appointed as the new officer in charge for the Coquitlam RCMP detachment. Corp brings with him an impressive background in operational policing spanning his 29-year career. Corp joined the RCMP out of Inuvik, NWT, and has served in three communities in northern B.C., a remote community on Vancouver Island, four postings in the Lower Mainland district and in a federal enforcement section in Ontario. His duties have always been directly tied to operations, including the investigation of serious crimes and drug enforcement at the municipal, national and

down the barriers of people talking about it. Breaking the stigma, there is no shame in it,” she said. Pellerin called naloxone an “antidote to an opioid overdose” and stressed the importance of having the kits in rural areas. “It takes about 20 minutes for an ambulance to get out to those areas and it takes four minutes for brain damage with no oxygen if somebody is not breathing.”

So far, public response to the program has been positive. “I haven’t had any negative response from the community. The community has really embraced it. They seem to agree with it and think it is the right thing to do,” Pellerin said. For more information or to see a map of distribution locations, visit towardtheheart. com.

Change to FVRD animal control bylaw is among many to deal with ‘aggressive’ dogs

Paul Henderson Black Press

Owners of dogs that kill other dogs will soon face higher fines in the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD). Before amendments were made to the FVRD’s animal control bylaw at the last board meeting, there was a $250 fine for “dog causing injury.” Staff has now separated out the word “kill” from the section of bylaw that read “attack, bite, kill or cause injury.” “This allows for the implementation of greater fines for attacks that result in mortality,” according to a staff report. Step two of the process will be to decide what that higher fine will be. The change is one among many to the animal control bylaw, most dealing with “aggressive” dogs. One fur-

ther clarification regards the transport of aggressive dogs. A dog must now be muzzled as it leaves its enclosure or house to be put in a vehicle, where it must also be muzzled. “Unfortunately, situations have occurred where an aggressive dog, during transition to a vehicle or an enclosure, has escaped, or while in a vehicle has jumped out of the window,” staff reported. Another change will allow dog owners more time to prepare an appeal if a dog has been designated “aggressive” under the bylaw. The definition of “aggressive” in the bylaw is lengthy but is essentially a dog that has already attacked or bitten a person or a domestic animal; has aggressively harassed a person or domestic animal; is kept for dog fighting; or is a

“dangerous” dog. And the definition of a “dangerous dog” under the Community Charter is a dog that has killed or seriously injured a person; killed or seriously injured a domestic animal off the owner’s property; or a dog that an animal control officer has reasonable grounds to believe is likely to kill or seriously injure a person. Staff noted that in addition to fines and restrictions for “aggressive” dogs, the FVRD has the ability to pursue a destruction order from the provincial courts if deemed necessary. A recent instance of this occurred last year when the FVRD applied to have a dog euthanized after it viciously attacked a woman and her smaller dog in Garrison Crossing in Chilliwack.

OPINION

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

Freedom of information When the BC Liberals were in power in British Columbia, transparency and access to information left a lot to be desired. Then came the “triple-delete” scandal, a practice by government officials – both staff and politicians – to permanently get rid of emails. The practice was defended by then Premier Christy Clark, despite promises back in 2011 that the province would have one of the most open and transparent governments in Canada. With the election of the NDP in 2017, those on the front lines of accessing information had high hopes. From the NDP’s 2017 platform: “We’ll protect whistleblowers, strengthen conflict-of-interest legislation and improve access-to-information rules.” So how’s it going so far? Not good. The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) was designed to create openness and transparency, but critics say privacy rights continue to be breached and in-

webt@lk

formation is hard to get. For a year, the BC Freedom of Information and Privacy Association (FIPA) has tried to work with government to improve FIPPA, but so far the association says there has been no action. “The NDP government has limited time left to make the changes that they promised,” FIPA’s executive director Sara Neuert says. “And if we don’t see movement on these legislative changes soon, I’m not optimistic that they’ll be able to follow through on that promise.” Premier John Horgan promised to do better but he continues to deflect. FIPA is now asking the public to sign its petition to join the call for greater information and privacy rights for British Columbians. We encourage all readers to search for “BC FIPA petition” online and urge the government to make the necessary legislative changes to protect this fundamental democratic right.

Higher fines for aggressive dogs Any dog that kills another dog or attacks another dog unprovoked need to be assessed. The owner should not be allowed to own another dog after that. John Fones Not every owner is responsible for the dog becoming aggressive. Especially if it was a rescue. Nichole Clement Anyone/everyone who owns a dog must be held accountable for their dog’s behaviour and actions! There are times when the dog that is the victim of an attack, provoked the attack. Doesn’t matter. As an owner, you must have control of your pet at all times. Anne R Rutz Binkle And euthanize any dog that maims a person? How about a large fine plus vet fees to repair a dog that is injured/maimed by another dog? Darrell Krahn

Killing B.C. industries won’t save the caribou Tom Fletcher

B.C. Views The B.C. NDP government has imposed a two-year moratorium on new mining and forest work in large areas of forest land in northern B.C., after a bumbling effort to shut down existing industry and comply with a federal order to protect endangered caribou herds. It’s a cruelly mistimed blow to B.C.’s struggling forest industry, and has implications for caribou zones down the Rocky Mountains to the Kootenays. The federal Liberals want to impress their urban environmentalist supporters going into a fall election, and Premier John Horgan appears to be trying to use the caribou crisis to further his aggressive transfer of provincial timber to Indigenous communities.

The initial B.C. proposal, worked out in secret with two selected Indigenous groups, created such a wave of public concern that Horgan put it on hold this spring and called on former B.C. Liberal cabinet minister Blair Lekstrom to advise his forests minister, Doug Donaldson. Lekstrom’s report details how local governments, other Indigenous groups and industry were shut out of private talks with the West Moberly and Saulteau First Nations. Their chiefs falsely claimed the sweeping restrictions would not eliminate forest jobs, and Horgan intervened after forest-dependent people started packing meetings in the Peace and Kootenay regions to demand answers. The struggle to protect dwindling caribou herds has been going on for many years, and B.C. is part of a much larger picture. Newfoundland’s herds are many times bigger than B.C.’s total population, and decline there as well as here is attributed to climate shifts, resurgence of wolves and grizzly bears and their access to prey via roads and snowmobile tracks.

In B.C., professional environmentalists are as usual the loudest voices. They’re appalled that the province has resorted to shooting wolves from helicopters, dismissing the temporary moratorium as too little and too late. Claims that successive B.C. governments have “done nothing” may be good for fundraising, but they are false. By 2016, the area protected from logging and road building in the South Selkirks was 2.2 million hectares, 95 per cent of the best caribou habitat. The South Peace recovery plan covered 400,000 hectares of high-elevation winter habitat. The same winter, the forests ministry worked with West Moberly and Saulteau to try to shoot 120 or more wolves in the South Peace, where the Graham herd, B.C.’s largest, numbered about 700 caribou. The fifth winter of wolf kills has now past, and oddly the NDP-Green government hasn’t been criticized for continuing it. Say what you want about these provincial efforts, but they’re not nothing. Predator control and maternity pens to protect tiny calves

are the only strategies that have been shown to work, and these costly efforts are continuing. Banning industrial activity and roadbuilding is also not a magic solution. As the Council of Forest Industries has pointed out, Wells Grey Provincial Park and Jasper National Park herds are also declining, with no industrial activity. Caribou are gone from Banff National Park, which has been protected since 1885. In the meantime, the Justin Trudeau government has just discovered another endangered species it wants to be seen trying to save. The federal agency wrote to B.C. in June, urging work to start on a plan for the “threatened” grizzly bear, one of the caribou’s main natural predators. Folks living in northern B.C. report that the main threat involving grizzlies these days is that there are too many of them, and they’re coming closer to communities. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press Media. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Name change? Please, council, just fill the potholes and collect the garbage

My taxes went up over $500 last year and another $500 this year, and this council and the exempt staff want to spend the already-approved $8,500 and a further $190,000 to change our moniker. I would rather they spend money on a filtration system for city hall as, obviously, the cannabis fumes are affecting any form of common sense that I expect from councillors and the high-priced help. Apparently, the em-

barrassing approval of the plastic cube at a cost of $50,000 and then a flip-flop didn’t resonate with them. Please, council, just fill the potholes and collect the garbage. What do you expect when you hire staff with new titles such as manager of “civic engagements”? I thought that was the council’s job. Rightfully, the staff is eager to do something rather than sit on their hands. How many of the exempt staff actually live in

Mission? Who are the benefactors of this proposed name change? The report from staff indicates a more “progressive municipality can be accomplished.” Do we want to emulate what has happened in Vancouver, where the pioneers over the last 100 years built and paid for the capital costs of infrastructure such as parks, waterworks, universities and bridges? Council, I forbid

you to follow this as was suggested, pay ets the $1,000 cost of will they pay $8,500 if recipe for disaster. out of their own pock- the bungled cube and this moniker fails? Mission is already on the map as the homes and properties are flying off the shelves at stupid prices fueled by the greed of some speculators and people from other countries parking their possibly dirty money here. Council, please respect the taxpayers and their ability to pay and see their children able to live here in the future, to enjoy the amenities their forefathers built. P.S. Did councillors,

Hope you enjoy the bike you stole To the bike thief who stole my bicycle on the night of Friday, June 28. You must be a professional. You should be commended. This bike has been locked to the metal railing for two weeks. After knocking on my door around 10 p.m., no rousing, you cut the railing with tin

snips. Not too much damage. So you got a 21-speed mountain bike, professional seat, plastic fenders, new hand grips, and near-new pedals put on by professional bike mechanics. You have now, no doubt, found the rear tire flat. I was going to take the bike to the fix-it shop Saturday morning.

Too bad you didn’t wait a day. Did you find the GPS tracking device yet? Just kidding. So, enjoy the bike. You deserve it. I didn’t, after putting about $700 into it. Art Walker Mission

sales. They are the youngest of five teams representing Canada at the event. Known unofficially as “The World Youth Cup,” the event has been held annually in Gothenburg, Sweden since 1975 and regularly hosts thousands of soccer players aged U11 to U18 every year. Rebels head coach Jim Cook knows firsthand just how special the event is. He coached teams from Saskatoon at the event in 2001 and 2003, and said he’s excited to bring the team from Mission to Sweden. “I enjoyed it and the girls put so much effort into going with fundraising,” he said. “They bond during the whole experience and it’s wonderful to see how they develop as people. The whole trip is something they don’t ever forget. I know some of the girls on teams I coached in the past are still friends with people they met at the tournament from other countries.” He said it’s a learning experience on and

off the pitch for the players. “They just learn so much,” he said. “They find out that as many differences as we have with people from all over the world, there is a lot that is the same about all of us. Just getting to meet kids from other countries is such an experience.” Team officials praised the generosity of the community in helping make the trip a reality for the girls. The Mission team will compete in the U12 division at the event, and will play a guaranteed four games but it could be as many as nine depending on how successful the team is. The format for the event is seven-on-seven, with a similar playoff structure to the FIFA World Cup. The event runs from July 14 to 20. Everyone interested can follow the team on Facebook at Mission Girls U11 Soccer Team – Gothia Cup 2019. More information on the tournament can also be found at gothiacup.se.

The Crash Test Dummies are bringing their God Shuffled His Feet 25th anniversary tour to Mission on Aug. 14. The show takes place at the Clarke Theatre (33700 Prentis Ave.) and tickets are available now. The group has reunited for the tour, which will feature a full performance of the album, plus other staples from the band’s catalogue. God Shuffled His Feet (1993) was the band’s sophomore album. It launched them to international fame. The album’s lead single, Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm, peaked at #4 in the US Hot 100. The track hit #2 in the United Kingdom and peaked at #1 in Australia. The songs Swimming In Your Ocean and Afternoons and Coffeespoons landed in the top 10 in Canada and, with the added strength of the title song God Shuffled His Feet, the album achieved triple-platinum status. The origin of the group is tied to the Winnipeg nightspots the Spectrum Cabaret and the Blue Note Café. The band began its rise to success with the debut album The Ghosts that Haunt Me (1991), due in large part to the popularity of the hit single Superman’s Song, which appeared on the RPM Top Singles chart and earned the band the Juno Award for Group of the Year (1992). After touring the world for their last album eight years ago, the group agreed they were done. The Aug. 14 show at Mission’s Clarke Theatre begins at 7:30 p.m. (doors open at 7 p.m.) and is presented by Rock.It Boy Entertainment. Tickets are available at all Ticketmaster locations.

Mission’s Wow Factor Showcase Event

Bye Bye Blue Bags Residents receiving curbside collection from the District will be delivered a 121-litre recycling bin the week of July 22nd, or shortly thereafter. Once you have received the bin, please use it for setting out your recyclables on your very next collection day. The list of acceptable materials will stay the same, but recyclables will no longer be collected in blue bags. Why are bins replacing bags? The use of bins instead of bags is required by Recycle BC to reduce additional waste. In addition to being better for the environment, residents will no longer have to buy blue bags.

Society provides support to local youth The Fraser Valley Youth Society (FVYS) is a not-for-profit society located in the Fraser Valley since 2000. It has been providing opportunities for personal growth and leadership through its workshops, programs and community connections. The society has gone from a group of volunteers running a weekly LGBTQ2+ drop-

in group in Abbotsford to a board, staff and dedicated volunteers running weekly drop-in groups in Abbotsford, Mission and Chilliwack. The main focus is to support LGBTQ2S+ and allied youth in the Fraser Valley. It wants to connect them to their peers, their communities and to provide supportive and inclusive help where needed.

The weekly drop-ins help connect youth and young adults to a healthy and vibrant LGBTQ2+ and allied community, as well as other special events and programs throughout the year. It also provides education and awareness programming such as: community-based events, local advocacy, and staff- and youth-led LGBTQ2S+ presentations.

Cedar Kings opening playoffs

Lacrosse team kicks off postseason this weekend Ben Lypka Abbotsford News

The Mission Cedar Kings begin the run for a title this weekend.

SARAH GRAHAM PHOTO

against the top team in the WCSCLL. New signee Mark Forlin scored the lone goal for the Cedar Kings, with Branden Bloom and goalie Jeff Lissimore drawing the assists. Lissimore was under attack for much of the game against Port Moody, but still

managed 63 saves in a losing cause. Sunday saw Mission control the majority of the game, taking a 2-0 lead after the first period and cruising to the 6-2 victory. Brenton Graham (two goals, one assist) was the top performer in the win. Other goal scorers were: Cody Thompson (two), Gavan Sand and Forlin. Russ Heard collected three assists, while Wylan Malowany added two. The Cedar Kings wrapped up the regu-

lar season on Wednesday night against the Ladner Pioneers, but results were not available at press time. A win means Mission takes on the Ridge Attack in round one of the playoffs. A loss matches the Cedar Kings with the Coquitlam Cobras. Mission’s best-of-three playoff series starts on either Sunday or Monday. Read next week’s edition of the Mission City Record for more on how the team fares.

playoff bye as the bottom four teams battle it out for the seventh and eighth seeds on Saturday. This past weekend saw mixed results for the club, as they fell 9-1 to the Port Moody Express on Saturday, but then bounced back with a 6-2 win over the Burnaby Lakers on Sunday. Saturday’s game against the first-place Express proved to be the worst loss of the season for Mission, as a small roster of just 10 players struggled

JULY 2019

Our fourth annual Business Walk has now come to a close, as we rest our feet after walking across Mission to visit as many businesses as possible, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to those that participated. The input that the Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce and partners receive during this walk is essential to identifying, what is needed to help local business in our community. The 2019 walk was even more spectacular in that we collected a record number of surveys, which means more voices being heard! The findings from these surveys are kept strictly confidential; however trends are used to create an overall report that will be presented to all partners and District of Mission Council. We are currently compiling data and creating the official report (we have only sorted through half of the surveys) but wanted to share with you our findings so far… Out of the seventy-six businesses analyzed (we still have 70 surveys to go) we found that 34% of them showcased growth in sales revenue over the same time last year, 45% state that their business remained steady, and 21% noticed a decrease year over year. There were 919 individuals employed by these seventy-six Mission businesses. They provided 584 full time, 311 part time and 21 temporary employment opportunities.

Hello Mission

Despite this only being the beginning of the report building process, the Mission Chamber of Commerce has started to notice important trends in local business challenges. Below are a few notable concerns brought forward so far: • Knowledge on funding entry-level staff • Keeping up with business growth • The need for value proposition for businesses to come to and stay doing business in Mission • Exporting requirements • Finding skilled and/or dedicated workers • Lack of applicants for vacant positions As more information comes in, the report grows more astute in its overall findings. Our goal along with our partners is to find more ways that we can help business in Mission start-up, grow and succeed. The final report will be available by August 2019 and will be showcased on the Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce social networks and website. Stay tuned! Thank you to our partners; Downtown Business Association, District of Mission Economic Development, Community Futures North Fraser, Work BC | Maximus, and the Mission Record.

We’re open for business and here to help.

Join us today, get $200. hello

Plus, you’ll continue to earn cash for years to come through Aldergrove Credit Union’s memberSHARE Loyalty Program.

2020 BC Budget Written Submission

The BC Chamber of Commerce has just released their 2020 BC Budget Written Submission that was presented to the provincial government. This written submission was built using a number of resolutions adopted at the BC Chamber AGM, data collected from the 120 local chambers of commerce and boards of trade and over 36,000 businesses from every corner of the province. Collectively, Chambers of Commerce, focus on listening to member’s concerns, many of these concerns are related to advocacy and this submission is a prime example of that work. There are many topics addressed in this report, with the main focus being on providing a path forward for a more competitive tax environment and suggestions to fix some of the recent tax changes that are adding cost to businesses. The BC Chamber of Commerce further discusses the next big step forward for BC’s tax competitiveness is a made-in-BC value-added tax similar to the federal Goods and Services Tax.

After talking with owners Brock Rodgers and Ken Brookes of The Springs Group about the topic, I found myself holding the keys to the bar and brandishing a new title,” said Denise.

Historical pictures of what has become The Stage, showing separate male and female entrances to yesteryear’s lively Bellevue Hotel beer parlour on First Avenue in Mission, feature the same dark wood panels that now exist amid zebrastyle cloth seats and dark, sturdy flooring.

In Denise’s first year as manager, The Stage was nominated and won the 2018 Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce Big Bang Award, an honour bestowed to an established business which continues to have a strong presence by developing or creating new business programs, platforms and opportunities while continuing to be a community contributor.

The Stage has operated in the timetested space for some five years, and its manager, Denise Fowle, a former preschool teacher who has lived in Mission most of her life, laughs as she tells the story of how she became its operator.

Denise admits her first year was literally “baptism by fire and flood,” but an interesting one indeed.

“I used to clean The Stage for a little extra cash and that led to founding Inspire Me Fitness with my partner, Candyce, there,” she said. “When the original Stage

Denise, now a Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce director, is adamant The Stage is an inclusive space for everyone, from Mission Downtown Business Association meetings to community awards nights, theme nights, murder mysteries, drag shows, PRIDE events and burlesque entertainment focusing on Star Wars and Harry Potter. “We bring unique entertainment here. We embrace people and bring a little bit of the city (Vancouver) to Mission,” she said.

Joyce was born on December 27th 1942 in Drumheller Alberta. Joyce is survived and will be lovingly remembered by her Husband of 46 yrs. Jack Marsh and her Son Tim Marsh as well as extended family who loved her. She was predeceased by her beautiful daughter Alyson Dorothy Marsh, her mother Gertrude and Step-Father George Hyslop, biological Father James and her Sister Dorothy. Joyce will be remembered as a devoted wife and loving Mother. She made many happy memories at Loon Lake with her family and loved her pets. Her extended family will remember her wonderful baking and amazing laugh. She will be missed by all those who knew and loved her. No service by request.

PENNER Henry (Hank) On July 6, 2019, Henry (Hank) Penner passed away at the Christine Morrison Hospice in Mission at the age of 79. Hank was born in Mission on February 24, 1940, to George and Edna Penner. The first of 12 children, he graduated from Abbotsford Senior and went on to complete a Bachelor of Arts degree at UBC. On April 11, 1963, he married Gail, with whom he would spend the next 56 years. Hank and Gail raised their three sons in Mission, and in 2004 they moved to Abbotsford, where Hank would spend his retirement years. Hank loved all things sports. He won the 1959 athlete of the year trophy in high school, where he played (at least) soccer, basketball and rugby. He watched any sport that was on television and he loved keeping track of team and player statistics. He also had a keen interest in learning, and seemed to know a lot about a lot of things. Hank was an educator for many years. He taught in Fort St. John, Keremeos, Yahk and Trail, before returning to Mission, where he was a beloved teacher and principal to his students at McConnell Creek, Manson, Edwin S. Richards, Dewdney and West Heights. His spirit just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be captured in a few lines. He had a kind heart and a genuine interest in the people he interacted with. He was gentle, but he was strong. He was our go-to for any big decision that had to be made. Hank was predeceased by his father George, his mother Edna, his brothers-in-law John, John (yes, two Johns) and Mark, his sister-in-law Mary, and his nephew Brian. He is survived by his wife Gail, his sons Steve (Amie), Rick (Amanda) and Darren (Ty), his grandchildren, Sam, Curtis, Audrey, Patrice, Abi and Noah, his siblings Ruth (Dick), Mary, Edna (Paul), Rudy, Linda (Ken), Carol, Jim (Twyla), Della (Sal), Garry (Cecilia), Rick (Cindy) and Rob (Joy), his mother-in-law Fern, his sisters-in-law Dianne (Dale) and Donna, as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins. Final arrangements are being handled by Bakerview Crematorium, and online condolences may be made atwww.bakerviewcrematorium.com bakerviewcrematorium.com. At Hankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, there will be no funeral service. Cancer won this round, but it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take our memories or change what comes after. Our loss is heavenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gain.
