Trucker dies near Hope Mission man plunged 12 metres into Emory Creek last weekend BY SIMONE ROLPH Black Press

A 43-year-old Mission man was killed when his transport truck careened off the Emory Creek bridge near Hope at approximately 2 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 27. The trucker, hauling produce into the interior, lost control of his 2010 Peterbilt on a gentle curve entering onto the bridge, taking out a 60-foot section of guardrail at mid-span, before crashing 12 metres down into the creek. At the time of the accident, there was compact snow on the road with some freshly fallen powder on top, said

RCMP Sgt. Peter Thiessen. “At this point in the investigation, it would appear that the causal factor for this collision would be speed relative to the road conditions. However, a mechanical inspection will be conducted.” Anyone who might have seen the vehicle before the crash or who witnessed the accident is asked to call Const. Roddie Cairns at the Fraser Valley Traffic Services office, 604-702-4039. Hope Search and Rescue’s swift water team assisted police in recovering the driver’s body.

Downtown Coalition disbands Red Card program discontinued as many services duplicated BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Mission’s Downtown Coalition has been disbanded and the Red Card Program, which it oversees, will be phased out by the end of June. The coalition was a select committee for the district, formed more than six years ago to

bring together social agencies and community and business members to address issues concerning downtown. It disbanded last month after a review suggested its services were being duplicated. The community outgrew the Red Card Program and even as last fall’s spaghetti western fundraising dinner was being planned, organizers were analyzing its future and the group’s Stewart original mandate, said coalition member Coun. Heather Stewart. The Red Card was introduced in 2004 as a way to help the homeless and panhandlers without giving them money. People can pur-

chase a card for $2, and the recipient can receive items such as a meal, bus ticket, a shower, toiletries, and a clothing voucher. At its peak, more than 100 people were using the card and Mission Community Services (MCS), which manages the program, couldn’t afford to fund the meals, explained Stewart. Over the years, support services have been stepped up in the community, making the program obsolete, said Stewart, who is uncertain of the number of cards still circulating, but noted there are fewer panhandlers now.

Clark plans transition to premier’s office BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Christy Clark started her first day as premier-designate Sunday at her son’s hockey game, with plans to appoint a cabinet, move the referendum on the harmonized sales tax up to June, and win a seat in a by-election as soon as possible. Clark won the B.C. Liberal leadership vote Saturday, with a narrow victory over Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon on the third round of voting. After the final vote result was revealed at the Vancouver convention centre, Clark was joined by rival candidates and the rest of the B.C. Liberal MLAs up on stage and promised to work together as a team. In her speech, Clark stressed her campaign theme of families. “My commitment to putting families first starts with job creation and fighting poverty,” Clark said. “These are going to be the top priorities for our government.” Interim NDP leader Dawn Black is-

sued a statement congratulating Clark, and urging her to call the legislature back into session immediately. “Specifically, she needs to table legislation moving up the HST referendum, establish an independent third party review of the $6 million payoff to the B.C. Liberal insiders in the B.C. Rail corruption trial, and table a new budget that invests in people, creates jobs, and helps B.C. families make ends meet,” Black said. Abbotsford-Mission MLA Randy Hawes congratulated Clark on her victory, although he openly endorsed George Abbott. “First and foremost I’m disappointed for George. I think he would have made a good leader,” said Hawes Monday. But Clark’s unique perspective brings something different to the party, he said. Her absence from government for several years could help, Hawes noted, as will her experiences as a radio talk show host and single mother. “I’m convinced she will be more collaborative in the decision-making process,” he said. “I believe she will unite the party.”

School board now focused on Durieu transition plan All 85 Durieu students now fall in the Hatzic elementary catchment area, and principals from both schools will begin meeting on a weekly basis starting this week, said Brenda Lightburn, deputy superintendent. The principals will jointly review how to move resources and personnel, and deal with any other problems that arise, she said. A letter was mailed out to parents last Wednesday which explained the decision to close Durieu, identified the new home school, introduced the new principal, assured parents records would automatically be transferred to Hatzic, and detailed how parents could apply for their children to go to another school if they so chose. Many letters didn’t arrive

A ‘seemless’ transition is the goal: administrators BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

Transition planning began nearly immediately following last Tuesday’s decision by the school board to close Durieu elementary. The doors will shut at the small rural school, located northeast of Mission off Sylvester Road, by the end of June, but before then, Mission Public Schools District (MPSD) has a roadmap to make the transition “seemless” for students, staff and parents, said administrators.

Open late

for all your

until Friday, said Durieu Parent Advisory Council vice-chair Tara-Lea Hehn, adding several parents are feeling left in the dark. “Everyone’s been in an uproar,” said Hehn. “Parents are still angry and confused. There was no damage control. There were kids with tears in their eyes the next day.” Little information has made it to students or parents, she charged. Many parents assumed they would hear from the school board last Wednesday, the day after trustees’ decision, which also included a vote to keep Deroche elementary open. But this delay is on purpose, said Graham Black, director of instruction for planning and policy with MPSD. “[The school community] has

gone through a traumatic event,” he said. Administrators want to respect the turmoil the decision has caused and are working more “behind the scenes” at this point. “We still have a functioning school in Durieu. We want to make sure all activities — be it social, academic or athletic — continue on. We don’t want to disrupt everyone,” Black said. At Durieu, which became a traditional school in 2005, the dress code has been dropped. “The overall consensus is that we needed a transition time,” said Hehn. Parents are further upset by the fact they now need to spend hundreds of dollars on school clothes, and in Hehn’s case, an additional $420 annually for busing for her three children.

SmartCentre development gets nod from municipality BY CAROL AUN

”

Mission Record

Construction for a new shopping centre in Mission is expected to begin soon. Council unanimously paved the way Monday for SmartCentres to build a 100,000-plus square foot strip mall on Lougheed Highway, just east of Wren Street. The developers will be purchasing four pieces of property, totalling nine acres, for the project, said Sandra Kaiser, SmartCentres’ vice-president of corporate affairs. “Now that our rezoning bylaw has been adopted, we will step up our leasing activities and expect to begin construction in

the next few months.” Tenants for the new shopping area have not been confirmed. The project will provide jobs and expand Mission’s tax base, said Mayor James Atebe, who hopes this will be a catalyst for other commercial activities along the Lougheed corridor and

help keep shopping dollars in Mission. The proposal was introduced to council last summer and developers have been working to address concerns and meet requirements from the district and provincial government, such as traffic and environmental design issues.

The plans call for a 94,500 square foot anchor store and four smaller buildings ranging from 3,000 to 10,000 sq. ft. Neighbours and the business community supported the project early on, but others feared a big box store, like Wal-Mart, would negatively impact the community. Wal-Mart is just one of the large stores with which SmartCentres works. Others include, but are not limited to Winners, Old Navy, Michaels, Costco, Best Buy/Future Shop, and Home Depot. Once built, the development will generate $800,000 in tax dollars for the district.

Red Card continues until June 30 From DOWNTOWN Page 1

“That signifies they are getting food somewhere else.” The coalition also provided networking opportunities, but as the use of the Red Card decreased so did its membership. The Outreach Network, representing 12 local organizations,

made the recommendation to discontinue the Red Card and outlined other resources available for those needing a meal and other services, such as showers, bus tickets and laundry facilities. Free meals are available seven days a week at various locations downtown, including the Mission Friendship Centre, Union Gospel Mission and Street Hope Station X.

Showers, laundry service and daily snacks are available at UGM. MCS will continue to manage the program until June 30, and the $4,500 raised at the recent fundraiser will be divided equally among the three organizations providing daily meals. MCS executive director Tony Lapointe did not return calls from The Record by press time.

Campaign to recall MLA Dalton still alive BY PHIL MELNYCHUK Black Press

They’re still hitting the streets, maybe a week late, and still determined to get Marc Dalton out of his legislative seat. Local organizer Corisa Bell says her group is filing papers with Elections B.C. March 7, about a week behind schedule, despite the failure of the first Fight HST attempt in Victoria to unseat MLA Ida Chong. That campaign was abandoned after canvassers couldn’t get enough people to sign the petition. Bell, though, is confident she can sign up 14,000 people (40 per cent of those on the 2008 voter’s list) within 60 days, and thus prompt a byelection in which Dalton would have to refight the election. He won by only 68 votes in Maple Ridge-Mission last election. Bell wants to forge on, even if Premier Gordon Campbell has gone and the Liberals have chosen a new leader. People will still sign the petition because, regardless of who’s chosen leader, it’s still going to be a Liberal, she added. So far, about 100 volunteers are ready to start knocking on doors to collect the signatures as soon as Elections B.C. gives the OK. The more people find out how little Dalton has done in his first two years of office, the more committed people get, Bell says. “Where has he been for two

Recall efforts are still underway for Maple Ridge-Mission MLA Marc Dalton. FILE PHOTO

years? That’s not service. He was trying save his own skin.” Dalton only now has increased his profile and is attending community events and groups because of the threat of recall, she adds. Bell said Dalton didn’t represent residents over the proposed new suburbs in Silverdale in west Mission nor vote against the HST in the House when it was brought in last July. She says he works for the Liberal party rather than his constituents. She pointed out that campaigning for votes is difficult because the group can’t get access to malls or commercial buildings and be-

cause big business supports the new tax. However, it’s going to shift the burden on to consumers and cost the average wage-earner another $1,300 a year. The MLA challenges everything Bell says, however, and says he’s been busy. “This job as an MLA is a very intense … and a very busy job, and I find many days start early in the morning, until late at night. Many of which are quite rewarding.” One project that’s particularly fulfilling is the Experience the Fraser tourism project, in which a multi-use tourism trail will follow both sides of the Fraser River from Vancouver to Hope. “I’m working very hard and I’d be happy to discuss that with anybody.” Dalton says the recall is “NDP fueled,” even though Bell may not be associated with the party, he added. He said recall isn’t needed because the HST petition was successful in bringing the tax to referendum this spring or fall and requires only a 51-per-cent margin to be defeated. “Whatever the outcome of that vote, will be implemented,” Dalton said. In addition, Campbell has resigned in part because of the outrage over the NDP. Dalton said he’ll mount a defence against the recall petition once it gets underway.

Roadside penalty appeals considered BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

The B.C. government is considering an appeal period for drivers facing steep new roadside penalties imposed by police. Legislation took effect last September giving B.C. the toughest penalties for impaired driving and excessive speeding in Canada. After hundreds of drivers were fined and had their vehicles seized, Public Safety Minister Rich Coleman announced a review of the new measures late last year. Tuesday he told Kamloops radio

NDP to pick challenger at nomination meeting Sunday BY PHIL MELNYCHUK Black Press

They had a Sunday chat in the Mission library recently, and another one in Maple Ridge library. But this Sunday, the gloves will be off as Craig Speirs and Elizabeth Rosenau fight for the right to run as the New Democratic representative who will take on Conservative MP Randy Kamp in the Pitt Meadows-Maple RidgeMission federal riding. Speirs, a long-time Maple Ridge councillor, acknowledges Kamp is a strong candidate, but is confident he can get votes in Mission, the home of the preceding NDP candidate, Mike Bocking. “With my history of victories in elections, I think I stand a pretty good chance. We’re in tough. Randy is popular, but I won’t be running against Randy so much. I’ll be running against his record. I’ll also be running against the Harper government. I think that’s

the bottom line there.” Speirs thinks he likely has a better chance than Bocking’s previous attempts simply because it’s a different time and the Conservatives have been in power longer. “I think I have a much broader support.” Speirs says he has the support of unions, environmentalists and is known as a social activist, which people appreciate. He won’t say, however, if he’ll run in the November municipal elections, should he not win federally or if a federal election isn’t called. But Speirs says there’s about an 80 per cent chance there will be a national election in mid-March. Rosenau, a pharmacist, says if she wins the nomination and contests the election, being known as a volunteer in the community, rather than a politician, may work in her favour. She concedes she’s not as well known as her NDP rival, but

likes her chances. Being from Maple Ridge, which is the largest community in the riding, will be an asset, she said. And being a woman candidate could also help. At the Mission meeting, former NDP MLA Dennis Streifel asked about each candidate’s connection to Mission and was told by Speirs that he attended Silverdale development meetings and has a working relationship with district council in Mission. Through her children, Rosenau said she has been involved with the Stave Falls Scottish Dancers for the past 15 years. Nomination The NDP nomination meeting takes place Sunday, March 6 at St. Andrew’s United Church on Dewdney Trunk Road in Maple Ridge. Registration starts at 1 p.m., followed by short speeches by the candidates. Voting takes place at 2 p.m. with results expected soon after.

station CHNL that the government is considering an appeal period before fines or other penalties take effect. Coleman wasn’t available to elaborate, but his office issued a statement. “One change we are considering is implementing a process so you have a certain amount of time to appeal the offence,” the statement said. “The change would be similar to a traffic ticket, where you either accept or reject the claim, and have a certain amount of time to appeal the offence.” Such a change would have to be debated and passed in the legislature to take effect.

OPINION

Published and printed by Black Press Ltd. at Mission at 33047 First Ave., V2V 1G2

Fuel on the fire A man sends a Twitter message in Cairo and now we’re paying around $1.26 for a litre of regular gas. The current tumult in the Middle East, sparked by the so-called Twitter Revolution in Egypt, is prompting fear-mongering by commodities speculators and boosting the bank accounts of major oil companies. Egypt is a middle-of-the-pack supplier of the world’s oil. Its daily production of about 680,000 barrels ranks it 29th amongst oil producers. That’s 11 spots below Libya, but eight higher than Yemen, 25 higher than Tunisia and 44 higher than Bahrain, the other countries where citizens, emboldened by the successful occupation of Tahrir Square, have been marching against the status quo. Combined, they produce less oil per day than Canada, ranked sixth at 3,289,000 barrels, and less than a third of the daily oil production of the United States. In fact, the U.S., the world’s biggest consumer of oil, gets less than 20 per cent of its imported supply from the Middle East. Some key delivery points have more oil than capacity to move it. Refineries have cut back operations because of the oil glut. But never let reality get in the way of a good old speculative panic. Some analysts say if the current Middle East unrest continues, or spreads to more countries, the price of a barrel of oil could reach new heights, surpassing the records set three years ago, the last time we were paying this much at the pump. That’s also the year the world’s largest publicly traded oil company, Exxon Mobil, pocketed a record profit of $45.2 billion. As gas goes up, so goes the price of food and everything else we consume that gets to us by truck, train, plane, or is manufactured with plastic. It’s almost enough to make you want to curl up in a corner with the lights off, Twittering on your iPhone. - Black Press

Long road to unity for Clark C

hristy Clark spoke passionately about teamwork, unity and listening in the moments after winning the BC Liberal leadership, with 48 per cent of voting members arrayed against her to the end. “Our government will be stronger because of the dialogue we all started with British Columbians, and we are going to build on that, together,” Clark told a packed convention hall. “We are going to shape the future of B.C., together. We are going to forge a bigger, stronger coalition, together.” A few minutes later, in the middle of the crowded room, an argument between two men turned into a shoving match that escalated until two others jumped in and separated them. Outside the convention hall, Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen was clarifying to reporters that he had not said he was quitting the caucus if Clark defeated his choice, George Abbott. Despite his earlier musings about considering his options in a Clark-led caucus, van Dongen was suddenly im-

pressed with the desire of his colleagues to work together and was keen to do the same. Van Dongen wasn’t the only one shocked at seeing Abbott, the Shuswap MLA and champion of rural B.C., finish third. Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett had figured the weighted voting system would give Abbott a good shot at bringing his team of mainly Campbell outsiders into the inner circle. Bennett said he felt “pretty good, for a loser,” and showed To a brave smile. His choice is not to leave the caucus, but to come back in, if he is invited. The next morning, former Reform and Conservative MP Randy White spoke about the Clark win on CFAX radio in Victoria. He’s working to professionalize a moribund B.C. Conservative Party, and he said he watched a surge of people joining that party as soon as Clark’s narrow victory was known.

The B.C. Conservatives will announce new supporters shortly, White said, and people will be surprised. They were not counting on Bennett to be one of those, although White said Bennett told him a month ago he would sign up if Clark won the BC Liberal leadership. White is convinced Clark’s victory is a “defining moment” for B.C. politics. No longer will the BC Liberals be able to tell voters, it’s us or the NDP. m “We’re now acknowledging, and the Liberals are acknowledging that they are a Liberal party,” White said. During the campaign, Clark blundered about on the harmonized sales tax, the timing of the next election and the government’s ability to cap the rapid growth of health-care spending. She’s fond of saying she spent the last four years listening to the people as a radio host. Apparently that’s long

enough to start believing the bumper-sticker solutions that are so often the fodder of talk radio. There were more hints of this in her victory speech. Clark’s top two priorities are “job creation and fighting poverty.” She’s just won the leadership of a party that has been saying for 15 years that government doesn’t create jobs. And the NDP continues its own earnest, but mainly fanciful debate about how poverty can be legislated away by government intervention, while trumpeting distorted statistics about the plight of B.C. children. If Clark wants to reach out to conservative-minded voters, she might start by acknowledging that the province is currently running an operating deficit of close to $1 billion, with another year in the red still to come. But so far it looks as if she will tack to the left, and risk making the B.C. Conservatives’ day.

The Residential Tenancy Act so favours tenants that it allows a tenant who has been given a government sanctioned notice to vacate and doesn’t dispute it, to remain in the suite, while the landlord spends weeks and more often months to get a hearing for an Order of Possession. The tenant can also just ignore this as well. So now the tenant has been staying in the suite for months rent-free. It doesn’t matter if they are deliberately destroying the landlord’s property, or ripping out the smoke detectors and wiring in the ceiling. The police can do very little as it is deemed a landlord/ tenant issue. Now the landlord gets to obtain a Writ of Possession and must hire a bailiff to remove the tenant. The cost to the landlord can exceed $5,000. The cost to the tenant: zero. While landlords are more vigilant about screening and even requesting criminal records checks, it does not ensure that you won’t get this kind of tenant. The privacy of information act restricts a lot of what might be pertinent information in regards to a tenant’s history. As the act is written who would want to risk it? It would only take a small amendment to the act to make it fair. I would suggest that if a tenant does not dispute the notice to vacate, a landlord should be able to remove them within 48 hours. It seems that the only people who have to actually abide by the government sanctioned tenancy agreement and the various forms is the landlord. Maybe once the landlords feel they will be treated fairly, they may take a chance on some of these people to help them get permanent housing and gain themselves a good tenant. Paula Mongrain Mission

Closures were sadly inevitable Editor, The Record: Re: Deroche stays open; Durieu to close, Feb. 24 edition. It was very sad, and sadly inevitable, to learn of the school board’s decision to close Durieu school. When we were looking for a traditional school to send our two children to several years ago, we toured Durieu. We were extremely impressed! The school was then, and from all I hear is now, a top-notch school academically

and socially and is a vital part of the farming community and Mission in general. For reasons which I am not even sure of six years later, we opted to send our kids to Auguston Traditional instead. They hated it there! The school board should be ashamed of its shortsightedness not just in closing Durieu, but in the closure of many other schools in Mission in recent years as well. They have enough money in their budget to give themselves hefty raises

and attend expensive conferences in the United States, but cannot keep schools open. Unfortunately for all of us, the Mission school board is merely following direction from the Ministry of Education who in turn follows Campbell’s directive that schools (and hospitals) must turn a profit. This is the root of the problem which filters down to the children and parents of Mission. The very idea that public education and health care are to be profitable

is an absurd one to begin with. I hope Christy Clark can turn this bone-headed and dangerous thinking around, but I am not optimistic. Our two children are now in Grade 10 so we do not have many more years to complain about the incompetent administration of the Mission school board, but my heart aches for those people with small children who have to contend with 12 years of it.

Damage to citizens from district’s PSIT bylaw needs to be undone Editor, The Record: I attended the last two meetings on the PSIT bylaw with the intention of supporting council. I expected council’s position to be that clearly major mistakes had been made, to discuss such mistakes to the degree possible without discussing legal issues, and to set in motion processes to redress any injustices. Above all I confidently expected transparency. I was disappointed at the first meeting with the desire to get as much discussion as possible, as soon as possible, in-camera. I was even more disappointed with the position of several council members to defend the indefensible, and apparently to

support only minor fine-tuning of a deeply flawed process. At the second meeting I was shocked to discover council had hired a media company to spin their decisions with the media before announcing those decisions to the public. Certain facts are incontrovertible: The fees charged are indefensible. They do not reflect, in any meaningful way, the actual costs. They effectively fix targets for the inspection team whose jobs depend on levying sufficient fees. Innocent people have suffered. The mere fact of an inspection with a marked police cruiser in attendance combined with the invasion of

privacy punishes those who are entirely blameless. Remediation requirements have, on occasion, been excessive (even punitive) and unsupported by science. Perhaps the most alarming feature of the program has been the expressed view of some staff and council members that some people should be charged fees because they are “obviously guilty but there isn’t sufficient evidence.” This is totally unacceptable and alarming in the extreme. In going forward there are certain principles which I believe must be followed: No innocent people must suffer; fees charged must reflect only actual costs,

and; remediation requirements must be supported by science. Clearly damage has been done to citizens of Mission and needs to be undone. Every single case where action has been taken should be reviewed. These reviews should be undertaken by those with no financial or other interest in the outcome. Council’s original intentions may have been honourable, but it is time to admit that the unintended consequences are unacceptable, and to do all that is possible to remedy the ills inflicted and to inflict no further harm. Hiring a spin doctor meets none of these tests. Ron Taylor Mission

the brunt of higher power fees, if the plan is approved. To fund upgrades, BC Hydro has applied to the utilities commission to increase the energy rates it charges customers. Currently the average residential customer pays close to $71 per month. Under BC Hydro’s new rate scheme, which the B.C. Utilities Commission is expected to approve in coming weeks, customers will pay around $7 more per month every year for the next three years – a total rate hike of close to 30 per cent. “We are fortunate that we are starting with relatively low rates compared to most jurisdictions in North America,” said Cobb. “But that still doesn’t lessen the burden on people.” He notes customers can lessen the impact by conserving energy. To that end, BC Hydro is planning to install smart meters on all B.C. homes by mid-2012. The meters will provide real-time information to customers on how and when they’re using electricity. In addition to encouraging conservation, the $930-million project will help recoup an estimated $100

million per year lost to energy theft. In total the program hopes to save $1.6 billion over the next 20 years. In 2008, BC Hydro also introduced a two-stage rate, which charges customers at a higher rate for excessive energy use. The Ruskin Dam project still has to be approved by the BCUC, which could take close to a year. Given the age of the dam, which was built in 1930, BC Hydro was faced with the decision of either rebuilding the dam, or decommissioning it altogether. “It’s definitely worth the investment to build it up to a modern facility,” said Cobb. “We continue to generate significant energy with significant capacity. It’s a meaningful asset in our system.” The Mission Chamber of Commerce has developed a directory of local businesses to share with BC Hydro and the major contractors on the Ruskin Dam project. BC Hydro also plans to host a business opportunities networking session to provide an informal chance for local contractors and suppliers to exchange business information with the contractors short-listed for the Ruskin project.

FVRD reworking to trim costs BY ROBERT FREEMAN Black Press

Taxpayers from Abbotsford to Boston Bar will save $450,000 this year thanks to “corporate restructuring” at the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD). But some directors in the electoral areas outside municipalities fear rural residents may lose part of their democratic representation as some committees are cut to “streamline” operations. Dennis Adamson, Yale electoral area director, said the changes were made “under the illusion that we’re going to save money ... what we’ve done [instead] is eliminated a lot of discussion on lots of issues. “I fear my people are not going to get represented to their full extent,” he said, at last week’s board meeting. The $450,000 in savings stem, in part, from a “limited” hiring freeze that started in 2010, and which saw a number of staff positions eliminated by attrition rather than lay-offs. But a number of committees were also cut as the FVRD “recast” its operations into two divi-

sions, regional and corporate services (RCSC) and community and regulatory services (CRSC). The former electoral area services committee, where rural issues were discussed by all the electoral area directors before going to the full board, has been rolled into the CRSC, which will now deal with all “community” issues. The RCSC replaces the former executive committee, and the committees for parks and the environment as well. But only three electoral area directors and six mayors will sit on the committee. Director Wendy Bales, whose electoral area includes Lake Errock and Hemlock Valley, said after the board meeting that rural areas have only one representative, unlike municipalities that have several directors at the FVRD board. “I wouldn’t expect that the mayors of cities of the FVRD would have the time to be informed about all the issues in my electoral area,” she said, and be able to give those issues full voice on the new RCSC. She agreed electoral area directors can speak at the RCSC —

but they still won’t have a vote there. “I still plan to attend the new committee, but [I] feel that it is at more of a disadvantage to the ratepayers that I represent,” she said. Director David Lamson voted with Bales and Adamson, but he felt any issues of concern to electoral areas could still be dealt with at the CRSC, and there will be electoral area directors sitting on the new RCSC. “I think [the re-structuring] is a good thing, and I support it,” he said. If all seven electoral area directors sat on the RCSC, they could conceivably out-vote the six mayors, who represent 95 per cent of the FVRD population. The reworking also means a $523,939 increase in the total taxes collected from the seven electoral areas, rising to $4.1 million in 2011 from $3.6 million in 2010. Mission residents will see the FVRD portion of their municipal taxes drop by $166,547 (20.4 per cent) to $651,522 in 2011 from $818,069 in 2010. The FVRD tax requisition for the “average assessed house” in Chilliwack will be $35.21 in 2011 compared to $43.99 in 2010.

Facial analysis unveiling fraudsters Technology flags more than 600 suspected ID thieves BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Facial recognition technology is helping ICBC bust identity thieves who try to gain driver’s licences — sometimes to dodge driving bans and in other cases to illegally stay in Canada. The public auto insurer compares a card holder’s image with their existing image on file and millions of others in the database. The system analyzes fixed facial features, such as cheekbone size and location and distance between eyes. More than 600 cases have been sent to ICBC’s fraud investigators since

the technology was adopted two years ago. “Facial recognition technology has taken us to a new level in protecting our customers,” ICBC driver licensing vice-president Fred Hess said. “We’re now at the forefront of identity protection.” The facial recognition technology last year

helped detect Surrey resident Sandeep Dhillon, who applied for a new licence in Richmond under the identity of another man, Jatinder Kumar. Federal authorities determined Dhillon was an illegal immigrant who had previously been deported for organized crime activity. He was arrested and deported again in December.

Another man in Nanaimo got a bogus licence in the name of a dead man to dodge his criminal record, parole restrictions and unpaid debt to ICBC. He pleaded guilty in December and was fined $5,000. That case was flagged because the same face was found connected to two different licences. Another case in Kelowna saw a woman caught trying to get a licence in her sister’s name after losing her licence for impaired driving. Even cases where identities were assumed long ago are now being uncovered. A Penticton man had for 15 years used the identity of a boy who died at age five in 1969

before the new system detected his fraud, which allowed him to dodge his criminal record and collect welfare while working. He was ordered to pay $13,000 in restitution. “Facial recognition technology is now enabling security checks that were not previously possible and helping to uncover fraud that would not have come to light without it,” said Ben Shotton, ICBC’s manager of driver licensing integrity. “It’s unlikely that any of these charges and convictions would have happened without facial recognition technology.” ICBC spends $8 million a year on thousands of fraud investigations.

Young Grads go to Riverside College for Free When Ashley Collins graduated from Hatzic Secondary, she wasn't sure where she'd end up. School wasn't easy for Ashley, so moving on to postsecondary education seemed like a huge leap. At just 18 years old, money was tight and she wanted to stay close to home as long as possible. Luckily, Ashley lives in Mission and was able to access Riverside College for free. Except for her modest student fees, Ashley paid nothing, but still received a topnotch post-secondary education. In one year, she'd earned her qualiﬁcation as a Community Support Worker and was ready to work in the ﬁeld. Ashley now has both a family and a great job. “It's reallife experience. I learned a lot about myself and I love my job,” reports Ashley. “It was amazing!” Riverside is open to everyone, explains Principal Cathy Anderson, but there are special advantages to being

under-19 because the education is funded by the Ministry of Education. “It's a tremendous resource and we want more people to know about it. Riverside's regular tuition is already extremely competitive, but the families of these under- 19 students save thousands of dollars by coming to us.” Riverside College is unique, but Ashley's experience is not uncommon there. Every year, graduates transition from their secondary schools and start career training in carpentry, plumbing, hairdressing, automotive technology, cosmetology, warehousing, and business support. They ﬁnd work quickly and many further their educations at other institutions. “I would deﬁnitely recommend it, especially to people who want extra supports,” says Ashley. “It's structured for every learner. I wouldn't have done as well somewhere else.”

Park honours local doctor D

rive down Hurd Street almost any day, and you will observe a group of elderly men making use of the tables and small picnic shelter in a small park near Pleasant View Home. Dr. H.G. Humes Park offers a place to gather, relax, discuss politics, and share food and news of families — but few people know of the man after whom it is named. According to the wellresearched local history book, Mission’s Living Memorial, Dr. Humes and his wife Evelyn came to Mission in June 1953. Gordon Humes served with distinction in the Canadian Navy in the Second World War, serving on a corvette on North Atlantic convoy duty. Following the war, he attended medical school at the University of Alberta in Edmonton and then interned at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver.

Arriving in Mission, he first went into practice with Dr. E. H. Erickson in offices on First Avenue above the Bank of Commerce. For many years, Dr. Humes served as physician to St. Mary’s Residential School; he is remembered fondly today by older First Nations people as the local “Indian doctor,” who took time to Sha listen to their concerns and seemed to understand their needs. Dr. Humes joined Mission Oaks Medical Centre in 1966; his offices, and those of Dr. J. Marcellus and Dr. Ian Graham were located in Mission Oaks Mall. Dr. Humes loved to play the piano, and often accompanied friends

and their children as they practised Christmas carols and held impromptu sing-alongs. The house he had built on the corner of Mary Street and Fifth Avenue was designed by renowned architect Arthur Erickson; passersby may recognize the distinctive slanted roof. Both Humes and his wife Evelyn were very community minded; ron she served as an alderwoman here. Dr. Humes was involved in the planning of the “new” Mission Memorial Hospital in the 1960s. When early administrative problems threatened the project in 1965, Dr. Humes joined operating nurse June Wilson in the onerous task of researching and quickly ordering

Our History

Syrette

hospital equipment, and assisted in recruiting and hiring a new administrator, Neville Cox. Dr. Humes died on April 5, 1984, at the age of 60. In recognition of his long service to the community, the Mission Memorial Hospital medical staff established a scholarship in his name. In January 1985, the park on Hurd Street was dedicated in his name by the municipality. Anyone with photographs, memories or documents relating to Dr. H.G. Humes is encouraged to contact the Mission Community Archives and consider donating material about this accomplished local physician so that his many contributions will be remembered. Sharon Syrette is writing a number of columns on Mission parks and trails history in recognition of BC Heritage Week’s theme of parks and nature preserves.

District earns award Take measures to protect responsible for preparing the award-winning report. This award has been presented to Mission’s finance department. The annual financial report has been judged by impartial Canadian Review Committee members to meet the high standards of the program, including demonstrating a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” designated to clearly communicate the municipality’s financial story and to motivate potential users and user groups to read the report. The GFOA is a non-profit professional association serving more than 17,400 government finance professionals in the United States and Canada.

Tarp and sort your loads Recyclable and compostable materials must be separated from garbage, or a 50 per cent surcharge will be applied to the entire load. Recyclable materials include all blue bag materials, such as paper, cardboard, rigid household plastic containers of codes 1, 2 and 5, as well as food-related metal cans, lids and glass bottles and jars. Other recyclables accepted for free at the landfill include metal appliances, scrap metal, empty propane tanks and automotive batteries. The curbside collection calendar features a list of recycling options and is available at city hall and on the district’s website at www.

mission.ca/Page33.aspx. In an effort to divert as much material from landfill as possible, the district is also keeping brush, branches, yard waste and all clean lumber separate from garbage. You will also be asked to place any contaminated wood products in a separate area. Loads arriving at the landfill must also be secured to prevent litter along all access routes to the landfill. Unsecured loads are now subject to an increased surcharge of $10 per load. Litter cleanup is expensive and should be unnecessary. Questions can be directed to the environmental coordinator at 604820-3795.

your home from a dryer fire A clothes dryer is such a familiar part of our everyday lives that it’s easy to forget it is also a large heating appliance and a fire hazard. Duct vent blockages caused by highly flammable dryer lint contribute to thousands of clothes dryer fires every year. Learn more about clothes dryer hazards, dryer cleaning tips, and fire prevention by checking the dryer safety do’s and don’ts. Do: • Remain nearby and vigilant while a clothes dryer is operating. • Install new dryers properly, following manufacturer’s recommendations and current codes. • Have new installations professionally inspected or reinspect past installations. • Make sure the exhaust pipe is as short and level as possible with minimal bends which restrict airflow. • If the duct runs long, such as under a floor and has many turns, have it inspected and cleaned more often since lint will be more likely to accumulate. • Keep the areas surrounding the dryer clean and clear. • Keep in mind that some dryer sheets can leave a film on the lint screen that can inhibit air circulation. Check the screen and clean if needed. • Visually inspect the lint filter with each use and replace it immediately if you see tears or rips. • Clean the entire hose-like duct vent where lint gathers regularly.

The District of Mission has been awarded the Canadian Award for Financial Reporting (CAFR) by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) of the United States and Canada for its 2009 annual financial report. The CAFR program was established to encourage municipal governments throughout Canada to publish high-quality financial reports and to provide peer recognition and technical guidance for officials preparing these reports. Its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management. A CAFR achievement is awarded to the individual(s) designated as primarily

other flammable liquids. • Do not use flexible plastic dryer ducts even though some installers and homeowners continue to use them. • Replace plastic ducts that are still installed in older homes. • Never use a lubricant such as WD40 to quiet a noisy dryer belt. It is highly flammable and sparks can ignite it. • Never use sheet metal screws to secure elbows. This checklist is only a guide and not a substitute for professional and current guidance. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.

Contest for youth Adopt-A-Block is challenging all Mission youth to participate in a webcast contest. Youth are asked to submit a video between 20 seconds in length to no longer than three minutes depicting a message about how we can all contribute to creating a litter free environment and why this is important. First place prize is $500. The contest is designed to empower ecological citizenship among youth in the community and create environmental awareness about litter pollution. Contest deadline is March 15, 2011. For more details and entry forms, visit the society’s website at www.missionadoptablock. com or call 604-826-9423.

Deroche’s Jessy Brown, 16, won his bout against Quebec fighter Pascal Dion to earn Team BC’s 24th gold medal of the Canada Winter Games on Friday. Dewdney’s Sean McIntosh is also coming back home with a bronze medal. Brown’s furious pace in the second round was the turning point of the bout, delighting the near capacity crowd, and allowing him to back off in the final round. He won on points 11-2. “I came and did what I was supposed to do here tonight,” said a calm and collected Brown in the dressing room after the fight. “I’m so happy right now — so glad that it’s over.” McIntosh, fighting at the 56-60kg level, earned a bronze in the Games, said coach Dale Gatin. McIntosh took apart Brandon Halef in a preliminary fight Feb. 22, winning 18-6 after three rounds. He then faced Azeem Khan from Ontario in the semi-finals, losing 8-4 after three rounds, but still taking home a bronze medal. Team BC brought a dedicated team of 242 athletes, 74 coaches, three national artists and 22 mission staff to the Games in Halifax, which ended Sunday. Approximately 2,700 athletes, coaches, managers and officials attended. The Canada Games is a national multi-sport competition that brings together the best athletes from each Canadian province and territory to promote national and provincial sport development of youth.

Senior MSS boys earn first place at AA Fraser Valleys They slipped in under the radar and stole the show. Mission Secondary School’s senior boys basketball team went into the AA Fraser Valley Championships unranked with an impressive 10-1 league record, but not many other teams considered the Roadrunners a credible threat, said coach Jim Pearce. “We got better and better every game,” he said, crediting the improvement to playing several AAA

teams instead of sticking to the AA confines. Sharing coaching duties with Pearce is Danny Jakobs, who told The Record the boys stepped into the limelight fast by knocking down the provincially fourthranked team from Holy Cross 56-54 in overtime. MSS followed this with a 45-44 win last Wednesday over Southridge, ranked third in B.C. The Roadrunners faced off against Delview in the Fraser Valley finals last Saturday night and held the lead most of the game,

said Pearce, eventually winning the match by three points, 5653. Rhys Parry and Tanner Pearce earned first team all-star nods, while Luke Morris was named tournament MVP. Pretty good for a team with only three Grade 12s, said Pearce. “We’re a really young team.” The coaching staff have focused on playing a painfully constrictive defense which has kept opponents to a stingy average of 39 points. The boys start their voyage through the provincials March 8, seeded third in the province.

The Heritage Park Highlanders qualified for the AAA provincials for the 11th time in the team’s 14year history at that level. According to coach Frank Chan, the girls played some tough matches and finished sixth at the Fraser Valleys, winning a wildcard game that catapulted them into the competition, which starts March 9.

The Highlanders beat Lord Tweedsmuir 65-50 Feb. 24, then went on to take apart Yale 71-42 the following day. Elgin Park squeaked past HPSS 55-52 which put the Mission team into the wildcard spot against Kelowna. The local girls emerged victorious with a narrow 66-63 win. “The kids worked really hard

and we’ve gone through lots of adversity,” said Chan, adding the team’s goal every year is to make it to the provincials. The provincials are held at Capilano College and HPSS plays sixth-ranked Argyle first. “They’re big and athletic and we’re not so big and not so athletic, but we’ll play our best,” said Chan.

Double OT loss puts Abby HPSS girls make AAA provincials Pilots ahead 3-2 in series A narrow double-overtime loss Tuesday night gave the Abbotsford Pilots a 3-2 series lead over the Mission Icebreakers. The junior B first round playoff series has been showcasing the power and skill of the Mission team, with most games so far being close affairs. “It’s been a really good series for

us. At five-on-five hockey, I think we’re a better hockey club,” said Icebreakers’ coach Craig Sherbaty. On Monday night, Sherbaty said the team simply didn’t generate enough shots and “lost a battle behind the net that we shouldn’t have.” The local team is back home tonight (March 3) at the Mission Leisure Centre. Puck drops at 8 p.m.

Catch the pros at show I

t’s show time! That’s right, this weekend, March 4-6, the BC Boat and Sportsman’s Show is at the Tradex in Abbotsford. Last week, we touched on the main motive in sport fishing. This week, I want to cover another facet of this sport: competitive fishing. Though there is strong opposition to it, organized competitive fishing has a place in our sport. Let’s face it not everyone who would like to earn some money at this endeavour wants to be a guide, instructor,

or tackle dealer. Enter the pro- or semi-pro angler option. These folks range from derby winners who want to pick up a few extra dollars to offset fuel costs, to the multinational celebrities whose annual incomes are equivalent to other pro sports stars. Some might ask what does competitive angling have to offer our sport. Knowledge is my first answer; let’s face it, anyone who is out fishing 200 to 300 days a year under all kinds of conditions is going to

know what works. Innovation is my second answer. When winning is the difference between top dollar and just covering expenses, you are always looking for something to give you that edge. Lastly, quality equipment. Pro anglers demand it and tackle makers know that sales depend on meeting that Je demand. We reap the benefits of what the pros demand in better and more innovative tackle. The pros, dealers, resort operators, and guides will all be at Tradex, so whether you fish for fun or profit, there will be a world of knowledge under that roof. Hope to see you there.

Ukrainian culture celebrated The atmosphere of All Saints Anglican church was bright and vibrant last Wednesday with the room decorated in Ukraine’s national colours of blue and yellow. Mission residents were able to celebrate Ukrainian culture and feel the spirit of the country through the traditional melodies of folk song.

Canada World Youth volunteers hosted the event, and looked the part, dressed in vyshyvankas, a traditional embroidered shirt. Throughout the evening live entertainment was provided for the guests. Songs such as Ukraine, You Lied to Me, Perogies, Two Oaks, and Cherry Garden, were

performed. A traditional choreographed dance was the nights’ show stopper. Throughout the performances guests dined on a three-course meal consisting of all the beloved motherland dishes. The event raised $100 for Youth Unlimited and $1,400 for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Photographer captures eerie visit to Stave Lake BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Derik Giner headed to Stave Lake with a friend one April morning three years ago to watch the sun rise. He packed his camera, pulled on a sweater and headed east from his home in Vancouver. He had heard about the area from a friend, and was eager to photograph the scene. It was dark and Giner and his buddy fumbled through the trees until they came to a clearing and spotted the lake. An eerie sensation came over him as he sat and watched the heavy mist above the lake. As the haze lifted when the sun rose, it revealed an alien landscape with old tree stumps littering the

ground and no signs of life. It was an experience neither Giner nor his friend would ever have

again despite numerous trips back to Stave Lake. “We were in awe of the things we saw around us,” said Giner, a hobby photographer who spends as much time as he can on the road with his Nikon camera. “We were very lucky.” The northern portion of the lake is usually flooded with only the top of the stumps visible above the water, and what Giner and his friend came upon that spring morning was a rare scene. Giner wasted no time in capturing that moment with his camera, and later researched the area at the Mission Community Archives, where he was encouraged to contact Mission Arts Centre about putting together a show. Giner’s Stave Lake photographs

were first exhibited in Vancouver about a year ago in the lobby of the architectural firm he works at, and will be featured at the Mission art gallery for three weeks beginning this week. There are 17 photographs on display of varying sizes; some are 30” by 42” and mounted, others are panoramic and smaller. There will also be some loose photographs, unmounted and unframed from other areas. The opening reception of Giner’s show takes place on Saturday, March 5 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Mission Arts Centre, 33529 First Ave. Giner will be there to discuss his work. The gallery is open to the public 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday. For more information call 604-826-0029.

Charlie has been featured on APTN Television Beyond Words for two seasons and has given air time on several radio stations around the world, receiving good reviews in in-

ternational magazines. This bluesman has been busy performing at private functions and festivals around B.C. and Washington.

The Sea Horse plays at Clarke Arts Club Theatre’s production of The Sea Horse will be playing at the Clarke Theatre March 7. Set on the coast of northern B.C., the show centers around hardbitten Gertie (Kerry Davidson), who owns The Sea Horse, a run-down waterfront bar. She has seen it all until Harry (Daryl King) enters the picture. He is a seaman of limited means, but unlimited dreams. The two are both attracted and repelled by one another in this stormy romance filled with humour and drama. “This beautiful and moving tale is my favourite kind of love story — set in a waterfront bar,” says director Sarah Rodgers, with Main Street Theatre. The Sea Horse was written by Edward J. Moore For tickets or more information visit www.artsclub.com or call the Clarke Theatre at 1-877-299-1644.

Arrogant Worms play March 14 The Arrogant Worms will be performing at the Clarke Theatre on Monday, March 14.

The Arrogant Worms formed in Kingston, Ont. after sensing a public need for musical comedy. The shows are fast, furious and family friendly. While not spoofing a particular style of music, the Worms’ material pokes fun at various aspects of daily life in Canada with songs like Me Like Hockey, We are the Beaver, I Am Not American, and Proud to Be Canadian. The Arrogant Worms were recently awarded the Peter Gzowski Award for their work with literacy.

Work may be important, but even God had to rest on the seventh day. It isn’t just that we are tired after working all week, but that we need some downtime to recharge our batteries. At least one day every week, we should honor the Sabbath and do nothing related to work. For some people, this isn’t a problem. They easily find time to relax and will avoid work at every available opportunity. But there are those of us who feel the nagging guilt of idleness every time we sit down even if for just five minutes. For these people, it is nearly impossible to take a moral holiday from work. The strenuous type of life is seen as a moral requirement, and loafing, even on the Sabbath, just feels like wasted time, or worse, the deadly sin of sloth. There are two ways that this nagging guilt can be handled. One is to follow the letter of the law on honoring the Sabbath, which in Jewish law entailed doing no “servile labor.” The other way is to convince ourselves that we will actually be more productive if we allow our self some much needed rest. This is no doubt true, and furthermore, the world will surely get along just fine without our toiling away for one or two days each week. So, take some time off and start mastering the fine art of loafing. Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female servant and the stranger may be refreshed.

CARDS OF THANKS

It is with deep sadness that we announce Judy’s time with her family and friends has come to an end far too soon on February 24th, 2011 at the age of 47. She was predeceased by her brother Larry and her Grandma Winnie. She is survived by her husband Ron; her children Derrick (Rachel) and Jacie; her grandchild Tibby; brothers and sisters Jen, Sue (Gerry), Wes (Laurentia), Leigh-Ann, and Kym (Jeff); Parents Lena (Ed) and Vern (Melanie) and many nieces and nephews.
