Pre-reg starts for new program

BY JASON ROESSLEMission Record

Pre-registration started Tuesday morning for Mission’s proposed public traditional school, and some parents sacrificed hours of sleep to ensure their children would be included if the academy gets approved.

Mission parent Kelly Dalzell was the first in line at the school board administration of-fice on Fourth Avenue, and said she arrived shortly after 3 a.m.

“I wanted to make sure my kids get into a traditional school,” she said, citing the emphasis on academics and structure were what drew her to the idea.

As of The Record’s press deadline, Mis-sion Public Schools’ website said 69 stu-dents have been registered for the kinder-garten to Grade 4 academy, but that out of those, there are only three new registrations.

The board of trustees has said a minimum of 75 new students — those who aren’t already registered in the school district — must be signed up to make the program financially feasible.

Pre-registrations are ongoing until April 1.

If that minimum is reached, board chair Edie Heinrichs said there is already a suf-ficient number of students for the 2014 kindergarten class.

A public information meeting held March 11 at Fraserview Elementary School drew about 150 people, reported superintendent Bill Fletcher at Tuesday night’s regular board of trustees’ meeting, which happened at Silverdale Elementary School.

The Monday meeting was held after a previous one Feb. 26 where at its conclu-sion a group of parents gathered and offered to help the board spread the word about the traditional academy to aid in drumming up new registrants.

First parents in line arrived just after 3 a.m. Tuesday to ensure their children’s spot in proposed school

BY CAROL AUNMission Record

As the five-year cutting cycle for Mission’s forestry

department comes to an end, there are plans to rebrand the business and operations under a new name, Mission Forest Enterprise.

“We want to look for opportunities to create more revenue and jobs, and maintain a working forest,” explained Bob O’Neal, acting director of forest management for the district.

Focusing on specialty markets is one way to create a higher value product, explained O’Neal, who can also support local artists look-ing for a unique piece of wood.

Other ideas include tourism, recreation, and filming opportunities in the community forest.

The district is also working on building an interpretive forest on the west side of Stave Lake.

“That side has a bad reputation now,” said O’Neal. “It scares fami-lies away, but we have a unique plan to clean it up and work with volun-teers.”

O’Neal says the district knows there is a demand for tourism in the area, and they are always looking for ways to form partnerships.

While the forest in-dustry can be challeng-ing at times, one thing that remains constant is Mission’s dedication to the environment and the community.

“We plan our log-ging activities so that it doesn’t have a larger impact in one area at a time,” said O’Neal.

Legally, the district can

harvest 40 hectares at a time, but it would be an eyesore. That’s why the average is seven hectares and forest engineers, like O’Neal, leave about five per cent of the trees in the area to create struc-tural diversity.

“We don’t have a big company mentality.”

Currently, crews are logging on Bear Moun-tain and building roads which will eventually be-come recreational trails for the community

“When we build roads, we build for the long term,” noted O’Neal.

About 20 per cent of this year’s cut — be-

tween 7,000 to 8,000 cubic metres — will come from Bear Moun-tain.

“We spread it out so we’re not doing too much in one area at a time,” said O’Neal. “We’ll head to the west side of Stave Lake next.”

But before the crews leave one area after it’s been logged, they go through it and try to en-hance the area for future use by building ponds where possible, and cre-ating piles of brush for small wildlife to enjoy.

The brush piles, or animal condominiums, as O’Neal likes to call

them, are more cost ef-fective than burning and “the wildlife value is tremendous,” O’Neal explained.

He also noted extra features, such as ponds, are done in consultation with wildlife biologists and don’t cost the district much more as all the equipment is already in place.

The area will be re-planted within a year, and it will be at least three years before log-ging trucks return to Bear Mountain.

“We take a lot of pride in our forestry practices,” said O’Neal.


The Fraser River needs to be dredged and Coun-cillor Dave Hensman wants to make the topic an election issue for the provincial government.

The decision to not do the work on the river this year is “ridiculous,” said Hensman.

In a letter to the dis-trict, Tim Preece, BC Flood Protection Pro-gram manager explained there isn’t enough time to complete the work by the end of this month to

minimize the impact of fish habitat.

Reasons for the delay included concern from the Cheam Indian Band and a late freshet season.

“Fraser River sediment is so bad right now … we’re starting to build is-lands in the middle of the Fraser River,” said Hens-man, noting there are 18 sand bars from Hope to Mission.

Hensman would like these bars removed be-cause eventually they will cause a “huge, huge, huge problem.”

“Let us not forget our

history here in Mission,” he continued, referring to devastating floods in Mission in 1894 and 1948.

Coun. Tony Luck agreed, saying, “It’s no longer a natural water-course. As soon as you build dikes around there … you don’t allow the natural course of water to flood the fields.

While Mayor Ted Adlem supported his council’s views, he pointed out dredging is not a new issue and the reason why there are 40-50 logging tucks

going through down-town is because “we don’t have the internal fortitude to go out and actually make a passage way in the river and make the river a trans-portation system the way it was 40-50 years ago.”

Now is the time to get people’s attention and make it an election issue, urged Hensman.

“It’s a great season for these issues.

Council plans to set up a meeting with pro-vincial officials and will invite other communities to get involved.

Responding to a parent’s concern, board vice-chair Jim Taylor said that there is no intention “to drain the system” to fill a traditional school, and also that if the new program proceeds, it won’t immediately be imbued with a raft of new learning materials that other schools have been requesting, such as new books and smart boards.

The school’s PAC, like every other, would likely fundraise for the items they want to see in their classrooms.

Taylor added that the impetus for the traditional school came after hearing about the level of dis-satisfaction some parents have with what Mission Public Schools offers its students, and ministry of education numbers that show 578 kindergarten to Grade 12 students from Mission leave the district daily to attend independent schools.

Former Mission school district s u p e r i n t e n d e n t Frank Dunham is taking his for-mer employer to court, alleging a breach in the employment con-tract.

Dunham re-ceived a sever-ance package when his employ-ment with the school district ended on Jan. 23, 2013.

However, ac-cording to his civil claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court earlier this month, Dunham says he is enti-tled to additional compensation in recognition of his long service.

The statement of claim says that extra money should be calcu-lated to 125 days of pay.

Mission Pub-lic Schools board chair Edie Hein-richs told The Record she be-lieves the dis-trict followed the contract accord-ingly and noted Dunham received a “lucrative” sev-erance package upon his termina-tion.

She declined to reveal the details of the money paid out until the board agrees to go pub-lic with the infor-mation.

The school board is consult-ing with its legal counsel and has 21 days to file a response in court.

Dunham’s state-ment of claim notes he began his career in Mis-sion in 1981 as a Grade 5/6 teacher and was promoted numerous times until he took over as superintendent in 2004.

Dunham was on a personal leave of absence for six months before his employment ended.

The B.C. government has announced a $1 mil-lion boost to its seniors’ abuse protection pro-grams, including extend-ing the hours for a hot-line to report suspicions of abuse or neglect.

The bulk of the fund-ing is to allow the Van-couver-based Seniors Abuse and Information Line to extend its hours to 12 hours a day, seven days a week. It offers information, advice and emotional support for seniors and their friends and relatives who sus-pect elderly people are being abused or taken

advantage of.The number is 604-

437-1940 in Metro Vancouver and toll-free province-wide at 1-866-437-1940.

Saanich councillor and former MLA Susan Brice, a volunteer with the seniors’ support orga-nization Silver Threads, said members see cases of abuse frequently.

“It’s the elderly woman who comes to her craft class with unex-plained bruises,” Brice said. “It’s the couple who lose thousands of dollars through a tele-marketing scam. And it’s the quiet-speaking gen-tleman, who while living with family, appears ne-

glected and uncared for.”Minister of State for

Seniors Ralph Sultan said he has encountered abuse and exploitation of seniors in his own family, and it comes up frequently as he has trav-eled B.C. asking seniors and their caregivers what they need from govern-ment.

In an interview, Sultan acknowledged that the funding is a modest ef-fort to bolster volunteer efforts.

“It is a beginning step, but it also reflects the fact that this problem can not be solved top-down,” Sultan said. “It will have to be solved bottom-up by mobiliz-ing many different or-ganizations around the province.”

The B.C. government also provided $1.4 mil-lion last year to the B.C. Association of Commu-nity Response Networks, for prevention and edu-cation to reduce elder abuse and neglect.

Katrine Conroy, NDP critic for seniors, said she agrees with extra support for the informa-tion line, which is sup-ported by lawyers and other experts to help se-niors find help.

“Anything that’s done to eliminate elder abuse is a good thing,” Conroy said. “The community resource networks are really good organiza-tions.”

She added that the government’s proposed Seniors’ Advocate is in-adequate, because it is not an independent of-fice and won’t deal with individual cases.

Sultan said the advo-cate is to help develop policies to protect se-niors, and a federal study being funded partly by the program will provide the information needed to do that.

Washrooms and maintenance facilities at Fraser River Heritage Park will be upgraded with a $250,000 grant from the federal government.

Other areas to be improved include the electrical, sanitary storm drainage and water supply systems.

Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission MP Randy Kamp made the announcement Monday, and said the money is coming from the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF).

“Our government is pleased to support communities across the country by investing in projects like the Fraser River Heritage Park,” said Kamp. “Our investments in community infrastructure will benefit Canadian families and communities immediately, helping to support job creation, boosting economic activity, as well as creating safe and accessible facilities for years to come.”

“Visitors have been asking for these improvements, and we’re now able to meet them, and to enhance their experience at Mission’s ‘jewel,’” said Klaus Werner, president of the Mission Heritage Associa-tion, which operates the local park.

The CIIF supports community projects which im-prove accessibility for existing infrastructure. The government has committed $150 million over two years for the fund.

The B.C. legislature ses-sion ends this week. It can’t come quickly

enough for Premier Christy Clark and the BC Liberals.

This is also the week we see the rest of the fallout from “ethnic-gate,” as the lat-est controversy over partisan activity by political staff has been clumsily labelled.

A disgruntled former BC Liberal caucus staffer handed the NDP opposition an in-ternal memo setting out a strategy for ethnic “outreach” that strayed into forbidden territory, suggesting that ethnic-friendly government events could be staged and participants’ names collected and turned over to the party.

“This secret plan clearly demonstrates the Liberals are deliberately folding gov-ernment resources and staff into their party’s campaign machinery, despite rules that forbid this,” thundered NDP house leader John Horgan. “We’ve seen this before, with the Liberals’ efforts to run a secret committee to subvert the public process around Burnaby Hospital, and in the attack website created by caucus staff and launched by

the Liberal party.”Casual observers might see

this as a disturbing new de-velopment in misuse of pub-lic resources. It’s disturbing, all right, but it’s hardly new.

The “attack website” Horgan refers to is a case in point. While a website target-ing NDP leader Adrian Dix was being cooked up in the BC Liberal bunker, a similar effort was being developed in NDP research down the hall. This partisan message detailed all the worthwhile things that could be done with the govern-ment’s $15 million advertising budget singing the praises of the government’s “jobs plan.”

But this one carried the logo of the NDP caucus, so it was within the rules. The average person, seeing two groups of staff on the public payroll, each slagging the other, might not detect much of a difference.

The biggest headline from the leaked memo was its ref-

erence to generating “quick wins” for the election cam-paign by staging apologies for historic racial injustices. It mentioned how former pre-mier Gordon Campbell de-livered a solemn apology in 2008 for the decision to turn away a ship carrying Sikh refugees from Vancouver

harbour — shortly after the outbreak of the First World

War.What does a

modern provincial premier accomplish by apologizing for a federal immigration decision made in 1915? Why would another premier now feel the need to apologize for a federal “head tax” imposed on Chinese immigrants from

1885 to 1923?The answer is obvious.Again, don’t expect much

to change with an NDP gov-ernment. Asked last week if he would stage an apology for the head tax, Dix deliv-ered a well-rehearsed history lesson that made it clear he is anxious to do so.

Welcome to politics in an urbanized, globalized media culture. It’s more important to put on a show than to do the right thing. Hospitals are announced three times before they’re built, then announced again when they are staffed.

Politics is a lucrative career. Former BC Liberal MLA Lorne Mayencourt is one of the additional “out-reach” staff hand-picked by Clark. The BC Liberals retort that the NDP caucus has a similar staffer named Gabriel Yiu, who has taken three leaves of absence to run for MLA, and is in practical terms a professional NDP candidate.

Yiu is running for a fourth time in Vancouver-Fraser-view, having been defeated in 2009 by former West Vancouver police chief Kash Heed. This latest scandal might produce meaningful reform. But the misuse of public money to further the interests of political parties is deeply entrenched.

Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for

Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

[email protected]

All too politicalIt seems job security is not one of the benefits that

comes from working for Premier Christy Clark.Last Monday, British Columbia’s multicultural

minister John Yap stepped aside after a document proposing a series of initiatives to win the favour of ethnic voters in the run-up to May’s provincial elec-tion was leaked late last week. The premier’s deputy chief of staff, Kim Haakstad, was the first to take the fall for the memo.

Haakstad, whose name had the misfortune of ap-pearing atop the controversial memo as its author, has been a part of premier’s inner circle of advisors and confidants since June, 2001, when she served as Clark’s executive assistant.

Of course wooing specific interests isn’t a new election strategy. Heck, it’s pretty much what every election campaign is about.

But for a government that can’t seem to get out of its own way as it stumbles toward a spring campaign as the underdog, the 17-page document that outlines ways to win favour with ethnic communities offends on two fronts—by using non-political government resources and information for political purposes, and by patronizing ethnic groups.

It’s true these strategies are no doubt discussed in caucus and campaign strategy meetings of parties of every political stripe.

But the memo suggests the BC Liberals clearly crossed a line.

Opening the drawer to expose the BC Liberals’ dirty laundry is embarrassing.

For that someone had to take the fall. Just as mem-bers of the premier’s communications team have paid the price for her previous gaffes.

The way things are going, they’re just beating her to the unemployment line.

YOUR VIEWSThe Mission Record Thursday, March 14, 2013 7

Editor, The Record:I would like to

take an opportunity to properly and pub-licly thank my public works crew for their efforts through the 20 or so hours beginning at about 4:30 a.m. March 1.

Staff began answer-ing calls that morn-ing when the effects of the strengthening pineapple express began to take its toll on the municipality. Virtually every drain-age system ran at ca-pacity throughout the event, and our sewer system also struggled to stay ahead of the increased flows.

Throughout the day, staff dealt with overflowing ditch-es, various levels of flooding, plugged culverts and several landslides.

Four roads were temporarily closed due to mud slides and instabilities and

emergency works were required to re-establish and re-open those.

O c c a s i o n a l l y , workers would return to the yard for another layer of dry clothes.

Opportunities for a bite to eat were taken while driving be-tween sites, but like the rain, they con-tinued well into the night. From staff in the office answering calls and processing work requests to each and every worker in the field, their dedica-tion and professional-ism should be recog-nized for their efforts here.

I thank you all for the commitment and dedication you’ve displayed to our com-munity and for the refreshed spirit and inspiration you’ve provided me.

Editor, The Record:Kidney disease is

under-recognized, incur-able, and undetectable in its early stages. Yet, the disease is one of the fastest growing epidem-ics in the western world. In fact, one in 10 Ca-nadians are affected by kidney disease. In B.C. alone, over 240,000 in-dividuals have the dis-ease and many don’t even know it because symptoms in the early stages are silent.

If people knew early enough that they had kidney disease, or were at risk, many could pre-

vent or delay dialysis or transplantation.

During March, Kid-ney Health Month, The Kidney Foundation of Canada, B.C. branch, will work to raise aware-ness about the risk fac-tors for the disease and the importance of early detection.

On March 14, World Kidney Day, the B.C. branch and its volun-teers will join organiza-tions and communities around the world who will be participating in events and promotions to help raise awareness and education about

kidney disease. Patients will be celebrating the discovery of the life-sav-ing treatment, dialysis, and the developments in transplantation.

Over 3,000 Kidney Foundation volunteers will also be canvassing homes across the prov-ince during our annual March Drive Campaign to raise much-needed funds for critical pro-grams and services.

RUN FOR WATER

RUNFORWATER.CAABBOTSFORD’S 6TH ANNUAL PREMIER RUNNING EVENT

A COMMUNITY EVENTWITH A GLOBAL CAUSE

WHO? CHERYL FRANK, Grade 6 teacher at Colleen & Gordie Howe Middle School, who brings students to the Envision Financial Run for Water every year.

WHAT? Cheryl teaches free downloadable curriculum from the Envision Financial Run for Water website that uses water as a reference point to teach students global citizenship, healthy living, as well as ful� ll some social studies and English B.C. ministry outcomes.

WHY? “I was � rst introduced to Run For Water as a runner in community run programs. After my � rst year as a participant I learned about the school level of participation. It was an instant sell for me, and when I introduced the idea to our staff they were all eager to have our school participate. Our primary reason at the time was for community involvement; to have our students take part in something that brings pride to the City of Abbotsford. Our reason now has greatly shifted. Run For Water teaches global citizenship and social responsibility in a very interactive and hands on way. I truly enjoy seeing the pride that students get in being a part of a cause that directly helps children across the world. Children helping children is such a powerful message.”

$35 provides clean water for one child for life.

Leeks have a mild onion flavour that add a subtle deliciousness to any savory dish. Cut the root end and green leafy end off, leaving just the white section. Slice lengthwise and allow the sections to separate as you rinse thoroughly with water. Chop, sauté and add to your soup, biscuits, stew, or other recipes.

Learn more directly from the growers about leeks and many other unique varieties of local, tasty treats available now.

Talking and texting behind the wheel continues to be a major road safety problem, but Attorney General Shirley Bond has rejected raising fines or tak-ing away mobile phones to deal with the problem.

The tough new measures were sug-gested last week by Victoria Police Chief Jamie Graham, after an enforce-ment blitz by B.C. police forces result-ed in about 6,000 tickets being issued in February.

Graham, chair of the B.C. Asso-ciation of Police Chiefs’ traffic safety committee, suggested police should also have the authority to seize a phone for 24 hours for a first offence, and for several days for repeat offences.

Graham also referred to $350 fines

available for other traffic safety viola-tions. The current fine for mobile phone use while driving is $167.

“I’m certainly not considering the seizure of cell phones,” Bond said Monday. “I am concerned, though, that we continue to see distracted driving in the province.”

Bond said taking away cell phones would create privacy problems, and she is also not convinced that increas-ing fines would have the desired ef-fect.

“It’s not unlike seat belts,” Bond said. “It took a long time for people in our province to make that a normal habit.”

B.C. imposed new Motor Vehicle Act regulations against using hand-held mobile devices in January, 2010. The rules allow phones to be used with a headset and a single-button function to make calls.

Police continue to issue tickets to thousands of B.C. drivers for using hand-held devices. Texting at red lights is also prohibited. RECORD FILE PHOTO

Premier Christy Clark surprised the opposi-tion last Thursday with a statement in the B.C. legislature endorsing a proposed heavy oil refin-ery near Kitimat.

Clark emphasized that the project would be sub-ject to the five condi-tions about environmen-tal safety and aboriginal consultation that she has demanded for heavy oil pipelines. But she praised the job creation potential and added that a refinery would help supply the “fair share” of benefits for B.C. that is her most controversial condition.

David Black, owner of the Black Press newspa-per group in B.C., Al-berta and the U.S., set up a separate company called Kitimat Clean Ltd. last year to develop the refinery plan and seek permits from the B.C. Environmental Assess-ment Office. Black an-nounced this week that he is finalizing details for $25 billion in financing

and purchase agreements for the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel that the plant would produce.

“Our government takes the view that we should work together to address legitimate environmen-tal and safety concerns

and find a way to get to yes on projects that will grow our economy,” Clark said, adding that the B.C. government has been working with Black’s team to secure a suitable site.

Energy Minister Rich

Coleman said there is Crown land in the Kiti-mat area held in an in-dustrial reserve that could be leased or sold to the company for use of the land.

David Black shows a sample of bitumen from Alberta’s oil sands while announcing his plan to build a refinery last summer. RECORD FILE PHOTO

Black’s proposal specifies a 3,000-hectare site 25 km north of Kitimat that is on the proposed route of the Enbridge Northern Gate-way pipeline. With capacity to process all the pipeline carries, it would be one of the largest refineries in the world.

Black said this week he is pessimistic about the prospects for Enbridge, but the refinery could bring in Alberta oil sands crude by rail, or another pipeline ac-ceptable to aboriginal groups along the route.

The $16 billion refin-ery would require another $9 billion in construction, including six product pipe-

lines to Douglas Channel to load ships with refined fuel, and a natural gas pipeline to produce power, fire refin-ing equipment and supply hydrogen for a new process to refine heavy oil.

NDP energy critic John Horgan said he plans to meet with Black next week, but he was dismissive of Clark’s endorsement.

“I think it’s important that the public understands that this is a long, long way into the future,” Horgan said. “And for a government that’s down to 68 days left in its mandate before people vote again, it seems odd to me that we would have taken time in the legislature today to read a press release about a proposal that may not happen until after the next election.”


Newspaper publisher David Black is revising his B.C. environmental assessment application for a large-scale heavy oil refinery in Kitimat to use a new refining process to reduce its environmental impact.

Black gave an update on the project to a B.C. Cham-ber of Commerce breakfast in Vancouver last Wednesday, saying he has found most of the $25 billion in financing needed, and buyers for the refinery’s fuel products. He said customer contracts and

financing are to be finalized within two months.

Black also released a Mus-tel Group poll conducted in February that shows three out of four people support the idea to refine crude oil in Kitimat.

A 57 per cent majority continue to oppose the En-bridge Northern Gateway plan to pipe crude to Kitimat and load it on ocean tankers. Black said rejection of pipe-lines would only push crude oil producers to use rail trans-port to reach his refinery and other buyers.

The new process makes synthetic fuels from the heavy tar left over from conven-tional oil refining, instead of extracting the carbon as pe-troleum coke as is done in Alberta and elsewhere.

Black said in an interview there are currently four other

heavy oil refineries under construction around the world, two in Africa and two in Saudi Arabia. All are about the same scale as his pro-posed Kitimat Clean plant, processing about 400,000 bar-rels per day of heavy oil using “cokers” that extract the coal-like byproduct.

A refinery of that size would fill 100 rail cars per day with petroleum coke, which is typically burned for metal production and contains sulphur as well as similar car-bon intensity to metallurgical coal.

Shell’s refinery at Ana-cortes, Wa. currently pro-cesses Alberta oil sands crude using cokers, selling the pe-troleum coke for aluminum refining.

The new process adds hy-drogen from natural gas to combine with the excess car-

bon in heavy oil, increasing the amount of gasoline, jet fuel and diesel produced.

“It will be 50 per cent cleaner than any other refin-ery in the world,” Black said. “It’s going to cost about $3 billion more, and I’m going to organize the money for it.”

The process received a Ca-nadian patent last fall for Cal-gary-based Expander Energy. It adapts a process developed in Germany in the early 1900s to convert coal to synthetic gas, which was relied on for vehicle and aircraft fuel by the German armed forces while their conventional fuel sources were embargoed dur-ing World War II.

Expander’s modified pro-cess converts bitumen, petro-leum coke, biomass or mu-nicipal solid waste into gas products used to make syn-thetic diesel and jet fuel.

Join us for the 8th Annual Mission Hospice Society Gala


The Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation (FVHCF) has launched its new website, which will allow the public to gain a better under-standing of who is involved and what they accomplish.

“We’ve been around for almost 13 years, and there are still some Mission area residents who don’t realize that we are their hospital foundation and that money raised in their community, stays in their community,” said executive direc-tor Vicki Raw.

“We’ve been so busy fundrais-ing and running campaigns, we’ve been a little too quiet when it

comes to promoting ourselves.”Visitors are able to make on-

line donations to the FVHCF, and

read about all the facilities and programs under the foundation’s umbrella.

Unlike traditional hospital foundations which each serve a single acute care facility, the FVHCF raises funds for hos-pitals in Mission, Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Hope, as well multiple residential care facili-ties, Christine Morrison Hospice, the Agassiz Community Health Centre and community based health care programs throughout the Fraser Valley Regional Hos-pital District.

The website is fvhcf.org.

BY ALEX BROWNEBlack Press

Remember a time when it was easy to cross the border into the U.S.?

That was before 9/11. Security con-cerns on both sides of the border now mean all documents must be in order and up-to-date, all of which comes with a price.

But there are other costs to travel-ling across the line, according to Mel Jesson, co-owner of the Black Bond Books chain, who frequently crosses the border on business.

While low prices in the U.S. may tempt Canadian consumers, it’s easy to underestimate the amount of gas you’re burning driving south of the border, or, worse still, sitting in a lineup waiting to cross into the U.S. or get back into Canada, he said.

“I don’t think a lot of people do the math on this,” Jesson said. “If you go down to the U.S. with an empty tank and fill up down there, you may be doing alright, but it doesn’t always work out like that.”

Buying a meal during the trip is another way to cancel out the savings on consumer goods. And, cross-border shoppers are paying an 8.5 per cent tax on U.S purchases, Jesson said, and could be liable to pay the current HST on top of that when they return — quite apart from duties which could be charged on the goods.

“You’re now paying a total of 20 per cent on your purchase,” he said. “There are ways around it, if you want to apply for a refund, but who does it?”

Jesson said B.C.’s imminent April 1 return to GST and PST poses many questions that have not yet been an-swered, but if the provincial sales tax works the way it used to, consumers who cross-border shop will be liable to pay provincial sales tax on their U.S. purchases.

“If you go across the line and buy a pair of jeans you’re supposed to send seven per cent tax to the provincial government,” he said. “That’s the way it was and while there haven’t been details about the return to PST, I can’t think they’d change that.”

Another cost factor for travelling to the U.S. is the need to purchase addi-tional medical insurance from a private insurer. An accident, or other medical emergency, could arise during even the briefest cross-border trip.

According to B.C. Ministry of Health figures, while B.C. pays $75 per day for emergency in-patient hospital care, the average cost in the U.S. often ex-ceeds $1,000 a day — and can run as high as $10,000 a day in intensive care.

“Anybody who goes across the bor-der without coverage is not thinking,” said Jesson. “Once you’re in their sys-tem, it’s going to cost you. Just to go

down to Mt. Baker to go skiing has wound up being a tragedy for a lot of people.”

Having a Nexus iden-tification card — which allows low-risk pre-ap-proved travellers to use designated Nexus border crossings without being regularly questioned by customs and immigra-tion officers — has been touted as one key to beat-ing lengthy, and costly, border-crossing waits.

But there can be hid-den hassles and costs in connection with obtain-ing a Nexus card – which is far from an automatic privilege.

Cost for a card that is valid for five years is $50 — but according to Ser-vice Canada there may be a six- to eight-week wait for eligibility.

An applicant will have to supply photocopies of original identification documents, such as a passport and birth cer-tificate.

But there are other factors that may create obstacles to receiving a card.

Canadian applicants must meet the admission requirements of both the U.S. and Canada, must have resided in Canada for at least three consec-utive years and be ready to undergo background security checks using Canadian and U.S. law enforcement databanks.

You must have no criminal record or must have been granted a par-don, or ‘record suspen-sion’ as it is now known. Past violations of cus-toms or immigration leg-islation will also result in the application being red-flagged.

Applicants who pass the initial security check must then be interviewed at a joint Canada-U.S. Nexus enrolment centre, at which a photograph, fingerprints and an iris scan are taken.

U.S. Customs and Bor-der Protection says its goal is to process Nexus-lane travellers within 15 minutes. Like all goals, it’s sometimes missed.

“I have a Nexus card and there are times that I’ve been at the border and seen the Nexus line-up is 30-40 cars, with a half-hour wait,” Jes-

son said. “I’ve skipped over to the regular lane because it was actually travelling faster.”

Newest development in cross-border travel is the Enhanced Drivers Licence (EDL) which ICBC is promoting as a one-piece proof of identity and citizenship which obviates the need for carrying a passport.

The cost of obtaining an enhanced EDL in-cludes both a basic fee and an extra fee for the enhanced version.

According to ICBC, a two-year original licence or renewal will cost a total of $66, while a five-year original licence or renewal will set you back $110.

To upgrade your li-cence to an EDL outside of the normal renewal period costs $52, the same price as an EDL for a senior driver seeking either a two-year origi-nal licence or a five-year renewal.

Non-drivers seeking an Enhanced Identity Card (EID) can expect to pay $70 for a five-year origi-nal card, and $50 for a five-year renewal.

But even with a Nexus

card, and an EDL or EID, Canada Border Services Agency still recommends carrying a valid passport as the best guarantee of avoiding hassles in making any cross-border trip.

And, according to Ser-vice Canada, the price of new and renewal passports will be signifi-cantly higher under new fees that come into effect on July 1, when Canada officially adopts elec-tronic passports, known as ePassports, contain-ing readable electronic chips.

At present, cost of a new or renewal passport, valid for five years, is $87 for a 24-page document and $92 for a 48-page document. Passports for children aged three to 15 years cost $37 or $39 for the larger passport, while documents for children younger than three years old are $22, or $24 for the larger version.

As of July 1, Cana-dians can apply for an adult passport valid for 10 years for $160. For a five-year passport the cost will be $120, while a children’s passport will rise to $57.

Q. One of my friends told me that she’s using some kind of “natural” system in her hot tub now, and she doesn’t need chlorine or bromine any more. What’s the story?A. Ah yes... the enzyme folks are back again. These systems have come and gone a number of times over the years, they usually fold when someone sues them for getting an infection from unsanitary water. Enzymes have a place in Hot Tub maintenance, they’re good at bio-degrading

body oils and cosmetics, but in terms of protecting bathers from bacteria, they simply don’t. If you look at the instructions that come with these “natural” systems, they now state that Health Canada minimum levels of Chlorine MUST be maintained for bather safety. What it comes down to is that enzyme products can be a small part of overall Hot Tub mainte-nance program, but they’re not a “stand-alone’ product. Chlorine or Bromine are still your best friend when it comes to keeping your Hot Tub clean and safe.

Fifty-five hectares of Crown land east of Mis-sion was recently includ-ed in the province’s Old-Growth Management Area (OGMA), which heartened the Ancient Forest Alliance (AFA), an organization that had been pressuring govern-ment to keep the eagle habitat untouched.

“We’re pleased about the designation of the south side of the Echo Lake as an Old-Growth Management Area that prohibits logging. How-ever, most of the north and some of the west side of Echo Lake, with enormous old-growth cedars and Douglas firs that are as rare as Sas-quatch these days, re-main unprotected and must be included in the OGMA,” stated Ken Wu, AFA campaign director in a press release.

Echo Lake is the larg-est night-roosting site for bald eagles on Earth, says the organization, where as many as 700 roost in the trees around

the lake at night during the fall salmon runs. Along the nearby Che-halis and Harrison Riv-ers, as many as 10,000 bald eagles come to eat the spawning salmon in some years, making the area home to the largest bald eagle/raptor concen-tration on the planet.

The B.C. government

also announced that they are looking at the pos-sibility of establishing a Wildlife Management Area in the Chehalis-Harrison Rivers region for the eagles, which the AFA supports.

“The B.C. government needs to work with the local woodlot licensee, First Nations, the adja-

cent private land owners like myself, and conser-vationists to ensure the area’s legal protection. This could entail shift-ing the woodlot licence boundaries into a second-growth forest with an equivalent timber value and then expanding the OGMA to encompass all of the forests around

Echo Lake,” stated Ste-phen Ben-Oliel, a private landowner on the eastern shore of Echo Lake.

The AFA is also call-ing for a larger provin-cial plan to protect the remaining endangered old-growth forests across B.C. while ensuring sus-tainable second-growth forestry jobs.

Riverside College is opening its doors to the public March 28.

Students from all of the college’s programs will be hosting the com-munity, offering tours and showcasing their skills from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. that day.

Everyone is welcome and a special bus has been reserved for each of Mission’s secondary schools. Grade 11 and 12 students are encour-aged to speak to their school counsellors or administrators in order to sign up.

“This is an exciting school,” says student Sarah Jenkins. “And we want everyone to know what we’re accomplish-ing here. Riverside has changed many of our lives, so we don’t want it to be a secret.”

Riverside offers a unique blend of services that set it apart as a col-lege and these will be on display at the open house.

“From our support services to our blend of unique programs to our staff, we’re offer-ing a model that fully promotes student suc-cess,” explains principal Cathy Anderson. “It’s a big day for us every year, because the stu-dents get to take the lead and show why they are proud of this place.”

The open house will include demonstrations and orientations from each of the college’s trades and career pro-grams, including hair-styling, business sup-

port, community sup-port work, carpentry, plumbing, warehousing and automotive service. Riverside’s two newest programs, information technology and esthet-ics will also be high-lighted.

“Whenever people visit the school, we hear the same things,” says Anderson. “They are amazed at how large, bright and new this fa-

cility is. They are sur-prised at the technol-ogy and supports we are providing to our students. But most of all, they are impressed by the students them-selves.”

All are welcome. For information call 604-814-0446 or visit goriversidecollege.ca. The school is located at 33919 Dewdney Trunk Rd.

Riverside College has expanded its trades and career training oppor-tunities to offer a five-month information tech-nology technician (ITT) program.

Students will earn credit toward a college-level ITT certificate as well as two industry as-sociation standardized certificates in technol-ogy.

The inaugural class started in late January.

Graduates will learn

how to work in the cus-tomer service sector of the information technol-ogy industry, which in-cludes call centre sup-port, desktop support, small business IT sup-port, and entry level IT administrator.

The program also in-cludes two work place-ment opportunities for students, and teams will complete a 120-hour community-based proj-ect, said Riverside prin-cipal Cathy Anderson.

The college is seeking work placements for its students, that would run 20 days, approximately six hours daily.

The independent proj-ects are aimed at giving back to the community while providing ITT can-didates with real world hardware and software experience.

ITT instructor Greg McNeill sees benefits for both the student and po-tential employer.

“The work placement

terms are an opportu-nity for the students to practise hardware and software skills as tech-nicians, and learn how they can find a job in the information technology industry. The volunteer organizations can use the work placement as the evaluation for a potential employee.”

Potential work place-ment non-profit organi-zations are invited to call Greg McNeill at 604-814-0446.

New Riverside ITT students are searching for work placements

Starting this weekend, and running each Sat-urday and Sunday until April 7, MLAs Randy Hawes, Marc Dalton, Green Party of BC can-didate Aird Flavelle, BC Liberal candidate Simon Gibson, BC NDP candi-dates Mike Bocking and Preet Rai, plus Mission Mayor Ted Adlem will be working the crowds at a number of locations locally to sell Abbotsford Heat tickets.

The AHL club has do-nated the tickets for the April 12 game to St. Jo-

seph’s for this fundrais-ing event. Proceeds will go towards ongoing con-struction of the Seventh Avenue building.

“This is a great op-portunity to support the St. Joseph’s Food Bank in a meaningful way and have some fun, too,” said Ron Leger, volunteer building project manag-er. “Our shared goal is straightforward at St. Jo-seph’s Food Bank: feed the needs of those with-out. Mission is a caring community. This event is another opportunity for each of us to show we care and truly make a difference.”

Ticket-selling teams will be in place from 9

a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sat-urdays, and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sundays at Safeway, Save On Foods, Real Ca-nadian Superstore, Fra-ser Valley Building Sup-plies and Canadian Tire.

St. Joseph’s Catholic Church started distrib-uting food to Mission residents in 1990. By 2008, the church base-ment no longer sufficed and planning began for a standalone structure. The Catholic archdio-cese made space on the Mission property, and ground was broken in 2010.

A budget of $650,000 was formed, and Leger says only another $124,000 is needed.

A Mission food bank will benefit from a financial institution’s commu-nity program designed to raise food, funds and awareness for these entities.

The Full Cupboard, run by Envision Financial, is committed to raising at least $1 million for food banks across the province, including St. Joseph’s on Seventh Avenue, within the next decade.

St. Joseph’s, and 10 other food banks in 10 communities, will receive a $1,000 donation to start the campaign. Envision will also make a $5,000 dona-tion to Food Banks BC.

“The statistics speak to the staggering need for an increased focus on support-ing our local food banks,” says Envi-sion Financial president, Shelley Besse. “In the past five years, there has been a 23 per cent increase in the number of people using food banks in B.C.”

The Full Cupboard is Envision’s sig-nature cause, Besse stated.

Following the success of Feed the Valley, the signature cause of Val-

ley First, Envision’s regional partner in the Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson valleys, the program was developed as a long-term commu-nity investment program at Envision Financial and will run in conjunc-tion with the organization’s already well-established community support initiatives.

“St. Joseph’s Food Bank served 5,787 people in 2012, which was comprised of 3,714 adults, 1,978 children ages four and over and 95 children under the age of three,” says John Poston of St. Joseph’s Food Bank.

Mission residents can support The Full Cupboard by donating non-perish-able food items or making cash dona-tions at Envision Financial, located in the Junction.

Cash donations of $20 or more are tax deductible and can be made as one-time contributions, through regu-lar, pre-authorized payments or online at foodbanksbc.com/get-involved/the-fullcupboard.

From time to time, certain areas in Mission’s Municipal Forest need to be closed to public access for a variety of reasons: tree falling, harvesting operations, road construction and blasting, forest fire hazard to name a few.

There are some temporary closures currently on Bear Mountain, just north of Richards Avenue throughout March and April, and by May the main access road to the hiking trail at Hoover Lake (across from the landfill) will be closed 24/7 to enable us to complete tree harvesting

in time for higher summer use.For your safety and to be in

compliance with WorksafeBC requirements, please obey all signs posted onsite and do not enter any areas where crew and equipment are working. There are many hidden hazards in active forestry operations including lines under extreme tension, possibility of run-away logs during harvesting, equipment operators being unaware of your presence, shifting log piles, etc.

If you are looking for other hikes in the general area, please visit the Hayward Reservoir trail and the Stave Dam trail less than one kilometre to the west of the Hoover Gate.

Thank you for your cooperation and patience. For more information, please call the Forestry Department at 604-820-3762 or visit the website at www.mission.ca/forestry.

BY JEFF NAGELBlack Press

NDP leader Adrian Dix is promising to ex-amine whether the policy of charging patients and visitors to park at Lower

Mainland hospitals is ap-propriate.

But he’s not guaran-teeing an NDP govern-ment would handle the pay parking issue any differently and says the province can’t simply give up the money that’s generated.

“I take it seriously and I’m going to review it,” Dix told Black Press in an interview.

“But you have to find the revenue. It’s not very much, but you still have to find it.”

The Fraser and Van-

couver Coastal health au-thorities took in $19 mil-lion from parking fees in 2011 – less than one per cent of their combined budgets.

“If you’re going to say no to that revenue then you have to find other revenues,” Dix said. “It’s not as easy as saying ‘I’d like people to park for free.’”

The cost of paying to park at hospitals has been a growing source of complaints in recent years from people who argue the fees are unfair.

“It’s a cash grab,” charges Peter Kirsebom, an 82-year-old South Surrey senior who says he was going to start a petition the last time he got worked up about the issue.

“In Delta, you don’t pay anything,” he said, referring to that munici-pality’s bylaw banning pay parking at the hos-pital.

He said his appoint-ments at the Jim Patti-son Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre often run half an hour late, forcing

him to shell out for two hours instead of one.

“That’s eight bucks – it’s too much.”

Maple Ridge’s mayor recently vowed, after similar local complaints, to explore whether his municipality could fol-low Delta’s footsteps and either ban pay parking or persuade Fraser Health to drop the fees.

Health Minister Mar-garet MacDiarmid told CTV last month it was difficult for health au-thorities to absorb park-ing costs and the current

system was unlikely to change.

The Canadian Medical Association Journal in 2011 argued pay park-ing amounts to an unfair user fee that can disrupt patient care.

It said parking charges should be waived at least for patients as they add avoidable stress and may cause some to abruptly end a consultation to feed a meter and avoid fines.

Dix said there are ar-guments for dropping the fees or altering the struc-

ture, but added rural B.C. residents “face more dra-matic issues” because of the centralization of hospital services in more distant centres.

Fraser Health spokes-man Roy Thorpe-Dor-ward said about a third of the parking fee revenue collected goes to pro-viding parking services – paving, lighting, se-curity and management fees to a pay parking firm like Impark.

The remaining two-thirds goes into general health system funding.

Thorpe-Dorward said there are no plans to change the system, nor has the health authority given up on extending pay parking to the ‘free’ hospitals in Delta and Mission.

“We still have a goal over the long term of introducing pay parking at those sites to offset the costs,” he said. “But it’s not something we’re pushing or pursuing.”

He said health authori-ties have numerous pro-grams where patients and others may get dis-counted monthly parking passes and in some cases complimentary parking.

Renal dialysis patients, for example, get free parking permits.

Fines issued to patients whose time on the meter ran out because their ap-pointment ran too long can be reversed on com-passionate grounds, he added.

Part of the rationale for pay parking is that it encourages stall rotation, so some spaces are avail-able when people need them and they aren’t hogged by users from surrounding businesses.

Delta’s bylaw against pay parking has also blocked TransLink from charging at its park and ride there.

Dix promises review of pay parking at hospitalsPay parking at Mission Memorial still a possibility, says FHA

Mission’s business leaders, civic politicians, school principals and other local celebrities were put in the Mission Elks jail last week until they raised enough money for their release.

The round up was swift and effi-cient, said Elks member Roy Archer, and the payoff was close to $6,000.

Those arrested were forced to wear prison garb and spent about a half hour in jail to try to raise money for their bail. Canadian Tire’s Vicki Gould raised the most with $1,200,

while Save On Food’s Jim Shaw, who had forgotten to collect pledges earlier, managed to gather $100 with a few quick phone calls, and offered to stay in longer until he contributed more.

“It was short notice for a lot of people,” said Archer, who was pleased with the enthusiasm from participants.

The money collected will primar-ily go towards scholarships for local students. About $1,000 will benefit the B.C. Elks Children’s Camps, and $200 will go to the national charity.

RUN FOR WATER



Ethiopia suffers one of the lowest water supply and sanitation coverage of any country in the world with only 22% of the population having access to improved drinking water and only 13% to basic sanitation.

WHO? PETE SCHOFIELD, a runner since 2007. He is a new grandpa, salesman at Abbotsford Tool Centre and an ultra-marathoner.

WHAT? Running 5K, 10K, half marathon the week of the Run for Water, the ultramarathon (56 kilometres) on May 25, and the marathon on May 26; 136 K in one week.

WHY? “Because I can. Last year after the ultra I realized the only limitations we have are the ones that are in our minds. The Run for Water weekend is just one way to push beyond those limitations. It is a means to bring water to thousands of people who need it. The fundraising can scare people, but I see it just as I do my running; limitations are only mental!”

Mission council joined other B.C. municipalities in proclaiming Feb. 24 to March 2 Rotary Week in honour of the 100th anniversary of Rotary in British Columbia.

In 2012, B.C. Rotary Clubs donated $8.5 mil-lion to charitable works in communities and in-ternationally. Mission’s two Rotary Clubs have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the district since their in-ception in 1946.

The local hospital, health centre, tennis courts, the outdoor pool, sports parks, Silverdale Wetlands, and Heritage Park’s Rotary Heritage Walk are only a few of the facilities that the or-ganization has contrib-uted to over the years.

In addition, Rotary has promoted youth develop-ment through activities, such as the Soap Box Derby, the annual Chil-dren’s Festival through Rotary leadership camps, graduation scholarships

and exchange trips.Seniors and those who

are ill have benefitted through contributions to hospice, the extended care units, wheelchairs and Seniors’ Week events.

Internationally, Mis-sion Rotary Clubs work to improve health in third world countries through water and dental proj-ects, eradication of polio, and sports equipment, technology and necessi-ties of life to those who are most needy. Rotary has had a partnership with the Bill and Me-linda Gates Foundation with a goal of completely eradicating polio within the next five years.

Rotary cannot do its work without the aid of the community support-ing its fundraisers.

On Saturday (March 16), the two clubs will host a St. Patrick’s Day Dance at Silverdale Hall, and tickets are available at World Odyssey Travel or from any Rotarian.

B.C. band Mother Mother is touring the country and will be in Mission on Dec. 12.

The group will be pro-moting their new album, The Sticks, released just this month.

The Juno-nominated quintet will begin their trip on the East Coast, starting in Halifax, and will gradually make their way out west. Hannah Georgas will be their special guest.

The Sticks follows a whirlwind year of near constant touring in support of their previ-ous album Eureka, and features a collection of 14 new songs includ-

ing the addictive first single Let’s Fall In Love, currently sitting at num-ber two nationally on the Modern Rock radio chart.

The band’s ascent from an acoustic folk trio tour-ing the open mics of their hometown (Quadra Island), to an interna-tionally revered alterna-tive pop/rock five-piece touring the clubs, the-aters and event centers of North America and Europe, not only dem-onstrates just how far they’ve come but has also blazed the trail for what’s to follow. Featuring the multi-talented line up of Ryan Guldemond (vo-

cals/guitar), Molly Gul-demond (vocals/synth), Jasmin Parkin (vocals/keys), Jeremy Page (bass/horns) and Ali Sia-dat (percussion/electron-ics), Mother Mother’s unique blend of clever lyrics, stunning vocals, quirky arrangements and a multi-dimensional sound both on stage and in the studio has amassed the group a reputation that has brought about their celebration as indie darlings, all the while endearing to the main-stream.

Mother Mother will be playing at the Clarke The-atre on Dec. 12. Tickets at Ticketmaster.ca.

Help ring in the fes-tive season and support your local food bank and Mission Commu-nity Services Christmas Bureau by attending Mission Rotary Club’s annual Christmas Carol Festival held at the Clarke Theatre Nov. 29 at 7 p.m.

This year’s festi-val features Deroche, Dewdney, and Cherry Hill elementary schools, Heritage Park Second-ary and Valley Christian School.

Also performing are Joy Vox Community Choir, the Fraser Valley Stage Society and the Chilliwack Symphony Chorus.

Admission is by dona-tion to the Food Bank and Christmas Bureau and Rotarians will be on hand in the lobby to assist Phil Hope from Mission Community Services in collecting the items. This event has a long history in Mission and has a sing-a-long portion at the end of the program which for many marks the beginning of the Christmas season in our community. For fur-ther information please call Rotarian Pam Alexis at 604-302-2005.

The Mission Record Thursday, November 22, 2012 24

B.C. band Mother Mother is touring the country and will be in Mission on Dec. 12.

The group will be pro-moting their new album, The Sticks, released just this month.

The Juno-nominated quintet will begin their trip on the East Coast, starting in Halifax, and will gradually make their way out west. Hannah Georgas will be their special guest.

The Sticks follows a whirlwind year of near constant touring in support of their previ-ous album Eureka, and features a collection of 14 new songs includ-

ing the addictive first single Let’s Fall In Love, currently sitting at num-ber two nationally on the Modern Rock radio chart.

The band’s ascent from an acoustic folk trio tour-ing the open mics of their hometown (Quadra Island), to an interna-tionally revered alterna-tive pop/rock five-piece touring the clubs, the-aters and event centers of North America and Europe, not only dem-onstrates just how far they’ve come but has also blazed the trail for what’s to follow. Featuring the multi-talented line up of Ryan Guldemond (vo-

cals/guitar), Molly Gul-demond (vocals/synth), Jasmin Parkin (vocals/keys), Jeremy Page (bass/horns) and Ali Sia-dat (percussion/electron-ics), Mother Mother’s unique blend of clever lyrics, stunning vocals, quirky arrangements and a multi-dimensional sound both on stage and in the studio has amassed the group a reputation that has brought about their celebration as indie darlings, all the while endearing to the main-stream.

Mother Mother will be playing at the Clarke The-atre on Dec. 12. Tickets at Ticketmaster.ca.

Help ring in the fes-tive season and support your local food bank and Mission Commu-nity Services Christmas Bureau by attending Mission Rotary Club’s annual Christmas Carol Festival held at the Clarke Theatre Nov. 29 at 7 p.m.

This year’s festi-val features Deroche, Dewdney, and Cherry Hill elementary schools, Heritage Park Second-ary and Valley Christian School.

Also performing are Joy Vox Community Choir, the Fraser Valley Stage Society and the Chilliwack Symphony Chorus.

Admission is by dona-tion to the Food Bank and Christmas Bureau and Rotarians will be on hand in the lobby to assist Phil Hope from Mission Community Services in collecting the items. This event has a long history in Mission and has a sing-a-long portion at the end of the program which for many marks the beginning of the Christmas season in our community. For fur-ther information please call Rotarian Pam Alexis at 604-302-2005.

TO ROW THE OARS OR UNFURL THE SAILS

Our journey through life is sometimes described as a boat ride. Sometimes we take an active role in that ride, steering the boat or rowing the oars. Other times, we take a more passive role, unfurling the sails and letting the wind pull us along. There are times in life when we must be active to get what we want; a rowboat won’t go very far on calm water without someone working the oars. But there are times in life when we really don’t have much control over things, and we can just go with the flow. But even then, we need to make sure we are facing in the right direction. A strong wind may make our journey a lot easier, but only if the boat is pointing in the right direction. We are all on a journey to the heart of God. Sometimes we need to take the oars in our hands and row. Other times, we just need to unfurl our sails and catch the wind of God. But in either case, we need to be heading in the right direction. Fortunately, God has implanted in us a moral compass, our conscience, which lets us know whether we are on the right track or not. We should pay attention to what our moral compass is telling us, follow it with integrity, and row the oars or unfurl the sails, as the situation demands.

By rejecting conscience, certain persons have made shipwreck of their faith.

A REPORT CARD OF LIFEIn order to help children while in school, parents will often tell them to work hard and do their best to help prepare them for their future. In addition, the students receive report cards on scheduled days to document their progress in the various classes in which they participate. Adequate studying and preparation for tests is essential for learning, gives the child more confidence and is associated with less anxiety and fear each time these report cards are issued. Similarly, our walk through life is preparation for our final report card, when someday we will have to meet our Heavenly Father. Each day of our lives, we are given tests that can help make us better individuals. Although we do not receive ongoing reports on the conduct of our lives, we should have a strong sense that we are doing exactly what God wants us to do. Are we being compassionate and kind to others? Are we forgiving and generous with our loved ones and friends? Do we reflect a good example to our children and coworkers? Do we try to follow God’s laws and attend our church or synagogue on a regular basis? By being a better person today we will have less anxiety and fear of the day when we are eventually called to give an account of our lives. And someday, we may hear the Lord tell us, “you have been a good and faithful servant, come into my house and share my happiness.”

Trust in the Lord, and do good …

RUN FOR WATER



WHO? CHERYL FRANK, Grade 6 teacher at Colleen & Gordie Howe Middle School, who brings students to the Envision Financial Run for Water every year.

WHAT? Cheryl teaches free downloadable curriculum from the Envision Financial Run for Water website that uses water as a reference point to teach students global citizenship, healthy living, as well as ful� ll some social studies and English B.C. ministry outcomes.

WHY? “I was � rst introduced to Run For Water as a runner in community run programs. After my � rst year as a participant I learned about the school level of participation. It was an instant sell for me, and when I introduced the idea to our staff they were all eager to have our school participate. Our primary reason at the time was for community involvement; to have our students take part in something that brings pride to the City of Abbotsford. Our reason now has greatly shifted. Run For Water teaches global citizenship and social responsibility in a very interactive and hands on way. I truly enjoy seeing the pride that students get in being a part of a cause that directly helps children across the world. Children helping children is such a powerful message.”

A Mission magician will be featured in YTV’s Zoink’d at the end of March.

Norden the Magician says he did a funny trick on the show that the audi-ence and judges seem to like, but he can’t reveal any more.

Zoink’d takes your average TV talent show, turns it upside-down and covers it in goo. It’s a chance for adults to showcase their weird and wacky tal-ents, and it’s up to a panel of kid judges to decide if they win the title of Zoink Master in a messy elimination.

Each adult has one minute to en-

tertain our panel of kid judges. Once 20 seconds are up, if a judge is not entertained, they can hit “zoink” and vote to eliminate a performer. If an act gets less than three “zoinks” before one minute is up, they get points from the judges. The performer with the most points at the end of the show wins, but if they get three or more “zoinks” they’re out with a river of purple goo.

Norden has been entertaining chil-dren and families since 1999.

For more information about him, visit www.magicshows.ca

The Mission Arts Council, Reach Gallery Museum, the Maple Ridge Art Gallery and the Abbotsford Arts Council are inviting vi-sual artists living in the Fraser Valley to submit artwork to the second Fraser Valley Regional Biennale.

After hosting six years of successful Business Awards,

the Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce is using its 120th anniver-sary year as a reason to drastically change it up.

“The awards highlight the business leaders and trailblazers in Mission,” notes Chamber President Elyssa Lockhart. “The business community is evolving so the awards are evolving with it.”

The awards have been pared down from eight categories to six and give every business and organization in Mission an opportunity to prove their excellence. The six new relevant awards are:

Intrapreneurial Excel-lence

An established busi-ness that continues to have a strong presence by developing or creating new business programs, platforms and opportuni-ties while continuing to be a contributor to the local community.

Power of SmallAn emerging or exist-

ing innovative small business that has been operating for a minimum of two years and exem-plifies entrepreneurial spirit and vision with new products, services or process.

Local FocusA business with signifi-

cant local focus in their

enterprise; be it through manufacturing product locally, or retailing/uti-lizing products and/or services produced locally and community involve-ment.

Customer FirstA business that dem-

onstrates special consid-eration for its custom-ers, ongoing employee training and a high level of understanding and commitment to service excellence.

The hallmark of this award is being friendly, honest, innovative, ap-proachable customer service on a consistent basis.

Community BuilderA non-profit, club or

organization that is active in the local community by making a positive dif-ference, involving ac-tive collaboration and engagement with others beyond who they serve.

President’s AwardNominated by the

Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce, this award will be given to a business or leader who exemplifies excel-lence and leadership in the business community that may go unnoticed.

The President’s Award will not be accepting

any nominations from the public and Chamber board directors will not be eligible.

“There are many un-sung leaders in our com-munity, we are hoping to address their recognition through this award,” states Lockhart.

Not just new awards, the whole process of how nominations are accept-ed and judged is being modified.

“We want everyone to participate so we encour-age the community to get involved,” said Lockhart.

Anyone can nominate any business or organiza-tion that meets one of the five open award cri-

teria. If a business feels that they meet them, they can even nominate themselves. However, the proof will be in the pud-ding as the community will be able to vote on who they believe best meets the award criteria.

Points collected from the voting plus a task force of past award win-ners that will review nominees’ information will narrow the nominee pool to a top three. These three finalists will then be visited by a panel of judges who will score the finalist on more refined award criteria. Each judge’s scores will be tabulated independently

so no one can steer the final selection.

“There was a lot of fear in our judging process, where all nominees needed to do a presen-tation before a judging panel,” discloses Lock-hart. “Now we are hoping to ease nominee’s fears by allowing them to pro-vide information through the process and meeting them on their own terms in their place of busi-ness.”

Taking it right out of the box, the Chamber is even moving the date and venue of the gala. This year’s event will be held Saturday, June 8. This is to allow everyone a chance to prepare for the formal event without the rush of leaving their workday.

“For now we are keep-ing the venue a secret,” said Lockhart. “All I can hint at is that it reflects how we were pioneers in 1893 and pioneers now.”

Look for more hints on the venue, entertainment and how the awards are being turned upside down in the coming months.

Nominations are open and the Chamber en-courages everyone to nominate their favourite store, restaurant, busi-ness, club or organiza-tion in one of the five categories. To nominate go to www.Mission-Chamber.bc.ca and click on the Nominate a Star Performer.

A year already, where has it gone? On March 21, I will hand over the reins of our Chamber to a new president and at the same time, round out the final year of our highly successful three-year

strategic plan. It has been quite a ride and I am proud of all that we have achieved together.

Ours is a dynamic Chamber. Just this month alone, I have chaired a task force to revamp the Business Excellence Awards to ensure they re-main relevant to the Mission business community; welcomed new orga-nizational policy that will bring value and give direction to our commit-tees and task forces; and presented a provincial government lobby kit on tax initiative implementation practices to other Fraser Valley Chambers of Commerce.

I thank the Board of Directors for working diligently to be innovative and collaborative, in order to best serve our members and the local business community at large. With programs like Pay It Forward… Shop Local and our recent focus on connecting members at speed networking events, I am sure the MRCC will continue to grow and flourish. I look forward to the ongoing collaboration between the MRCC and Mission Public Schools, building job skills and opportunities for our youth. Ad-ditionally, I am excited to learn what comes next, as the board develops a new multi-year strategic plan with member input.

So again, thank you for allowing me to be at the helm of such a suc-cessful organization!

By Kathleen Rake

For 26 years, Mission Toast-masters has been making its mark helping members grow both personally and profes-sionally. It is one of the most established International Toastmasters clubs in the Fraser Valley and is proud to have a founding member who still attends meetings regularly.

“Really, at the risk of sounding cliché, there is something for everyone here,” said 30-year-old Sean McStay, president of Mission Toast-masters.

Every Toastmaster gets what he or she needs from the club. Some members come to im-prove their public speaking by overcoming stage fright, erasing the ums, ahs and likes, increasing voice projection, sharpening listening skills, and developing the ability to speak spontaneously.

Other members come to compete as well as sharpen skills. Jo Priestley, artist and past president of the Mission club, recently won the District 21 (comprised of at least 285 clubs throughout B.C.) Table Topics competition.

“Then there are those who

come to Toastmasters to take full advantage of the educa-tional opportunities,” added McStay. “But at the end, we all come for the fun. It’s not always about standing up in front of a crowd and giving a speech. Some members use the speaking skills they learn to give persuasive presenta-tions at work.”

Laura Midan, an eight-year veteran of Toastmasters, cred-its the organization and the public speaking and leader-ship skills she learned there with her successful bid to secure her current position as an education coordinator

with the Abbotsford/Mission Recycling Program.

“This position involves con-ducting workshops, providing presentations and liaising with community representa-tives,” she said. “I highly rec-ommend Toastmasters for in-dividuals wanting to advance in their careers and further their educational goals.”

The club meets Tuesdays, 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., at Cedar-brooke Chateau on Seventh Avenue. Guests are welcome. For more information, call 604-217-1173 or visit them on Facebook or at MissionToast-masters.com.

In 1909 Mission Railway Station was built, sitting at an important junction that not only saw pas-sengers and freight moving across Canada, but

also the most western point to and from the USA.Rail brought the first department store to the city.

DesBrisay’s was established and served the local community and visitors for 55 years; setting the standard for local business.

This attracted more business like jewelers, a shoemaker, bank, pharmacy, and movie theatre. With the Mission Fraser Valley Record (now Mis-sion City Record) close by, the downtown of Mis-sion began to take shape.

Thriving during the early 1920s in part to the many berry farms in the area, Mission soon be-came known as “The Strawberry Capital.”

This drew up to 3,000 pickers to the area at the height of production and saw the introduction of canning and preserves plants. The Board of Trade recognized the opportunity and the Strawberry Fes-tival was born.

Advocating for an automobile route, the Board of Trade successfully got the Mission Bridge open to automobiles in 1927. Further links continued to be established with Southern Fraser communities and the USA as Mission became the shopping hub in the Valley.

Though the Great Depression hit hard between 1929 and 1939, Mission continued to grow, with its forest resources. Started in 1929, BC Electric’s Ruskin Dam offered additional economic relief.

Taking four years to complete, men came on the trains to find work.

Pioneers then…Pioneers now. The Mission Re-

gional Chamber of Commerce continues to this day to connect, influence and build prosperity in Mission.

The University of the Fraser Valley Cascades’ Aiei-sha Luyken, who hails from Mission, has been named to the 2013 Canada West second all-star team.

Luyken, a fourth-year guard, led the Cascades in scoring with 294 points for a 13.4 point per game average.

The kinesiology major led UFV in assists with 100, steals with 52 and recorded 77 total rebounds. Luyken averaged 30 minutes per night while starting 21 of the 22 regular season games. This is her first selection to the Canada West women’s basketball Elite 10 all-star team.

Luyken joins Samantha Hill (2007-08) and Tessa Klassen (2011-12), as Cascades that have been se-lected to the Canada West all-star team.

“The team is really pleased that Aieisha has been recognized as a Canada West all-star,” said UFV head coach Al Tuchscherer. “Aieisha does whatever is needed of her to win games and lead our team. She influences both ends of the floor, is a lock-down de-fender, a lethal scorer, and always comes up big when we need it most.

“It is a privilege to coach such an unbelievable ath-lete and we’re fortunate to have her leading or team on a nightly basis.”

Luyken named to second all-star team

Aieisha Luyken, now in her fourth year with the UFV Cascades, is a Mission secondary alumni.

Tidy premisesGrade 8 Hatzic Middle Secondary School students recently cleaned up litter in the neighbourhood to show that they actively care for their environment and the local community. This is part of a school-wide We Care campaign to create a more positive culture and promote positive interactions both at school and in the community. This will be an on-going activity. The We Care campaign includes using good manners, making positive comments, and having kind interactions to create a positive atmosphere among staff, students, and the community.

The Canadian Cancer Society, BC and Yukon, is calling on Mis-sion youth between the ages of 19 and 25 to apply to attend a provincial Youth Forum in Van-couver May 11.

The forum is a venue for youth to share their ideas on health and cancer prevention as well as pro-vide suggestions on what changes they would like to see.

“The Canadian Cancer Society is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year and this forum provides us with an opportunity to hear from future leaders of change who can set the stage for the next 75 years of cancer prevention,”

explains Tracy Hoskin, health promotion coordinator, Canadian Cancer Society, Fraser Valley re-gion.

The forum will also allow youth to learn about cancer pre-vention and build skills to use within their communities to take action on relevant health and can-cer prevention issues.

“This is a chance for youth from across our province to take part in continuing a 75-year leg-acy of cancer prevention,” says Hoskin.

“We know that about half of all cancers can be prevented. Youth are a vital part of stopping cancer

before it starts and we need their help.”

The forum will take place at SFU’s Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue. Youth who are B.C. residents, active or involved in their community and interested in developing leadership skills are encouraged to apply. Successful applicants must also be commit-ted to contributing to action in their home communities after the youth forum concludes. Travel expenses will be covered.

Applications are due March 15, and are available through cancer-gameplan.ca. Successful appli-cants will be notified by April 1.
