The search for 18-year-old Rachel Pernosky was called off Wednedsay after her body was found.

The case has now been turned over to homicide investigators.

Police were expected to issue an update Wednes-day after The Record’s press deadline.

“I can confirm the matter has been turned over to the

Integrated Homicide In-vestigation Team (IHIT),” said Mission RCMP Insp. Richard Konarski, who de-clined to provide further information.

Please visit www.mis-sioncityrecord.com for the most current details.

Pernosky was last seen around 12:30 a.m. on Sat-urday at her home in the 7700 block of Kite Street.

A small corner of Lougheed Highway and Hurd Street was cordoned

off and the Mission land-fill was closed for several

hours Monday morning as the police investigation continued.

Volunteers cleaning up the northeast corner of the highway on Sunday had picked up some clothing and brought it to the land-fill, according to police. It was later determined the clothing matched a de-scription provided by the family.

The landfill was re-opened before noon after police located the items

and were able to determine the clothing found was not related to the case.

Mission Search and Res-cue volunteers scoured Pernosky’s neighbourhood for signs of the missing teen Monday, and family and friends searched every day, but didn’t find any clues.

According to a social media post from Pernosky’s sister, Brittany, “her phone was left at home, and music was still playing.”

Prior to being a patient with Dr’s Surdhar and Lui, I’d have described myself as an “apprehensive” patient. The one that wishes the upcoming circled date on the calendar was past.

After a few procedures with the dentists at Bridgeview Dental I can happily say that I no longer dread the upcoming appointments and look forward to seeing the friendly dental team and having my dental work done. Even a recent extraction and implant that followed was without discomfort. I feel con�dent in the treatment they provide me knowing they keep up with what’s new in the dental �eld with their continuing education and study club participation.

The municipality will be replacing about 10 ki-lometres of “very poor” condition water mains over the next nine years at an estimated cost of $1 million annually.

The lines in question are made of asbestos ce-ment (AC) and were in-stalled between 1951 and 1983 throughout the dis-trict. Pipes which have lost more than 45 per cent of their wall thickness are considered very poor.

Work will begin in about a month in the Hatzic area where the AC mains have lost more than 67 per cent of wall thick-ness. The old lines will be replaced with pipes made of either ductile iron (DI) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which should last 75-100 years, said Rick Bomhof, Mission’s direc-tor of engineering and public works.

The work could be completed in a month, and there will be mini-mum impact to residents in the area, according to Bomhof. The new pipes will be laid beside the existing ones and water flow will be disrupted when the new connection is made. Notices will be sent out when service will be interrupted.

Half of the work will be done by the district and

the other half will be con-tracted out to determine the most efficient and cost-effective method.

AC mains are a safe way to transport water

and not a threat to pub-lic health in normal use, however, it can be haz-ardous when the asbestos fibres are airborne, ex-plained Bomhof.

“The use of AC pipes has been discontinued in North America in the early 1980s mainly be-cause they are difficult to repair and may cause

potential health concerns on worker safety,” states a report to council.

AC pipes are also vulnerable to leaks, ex-plained Bomhof. They can be brittle and if it’s not properly imbedded in sand, any vibration can cause cracks or breaks. Bomhof noted there have been breaks along the Lougheed close by the train tracks.

Last year the district had about 23.5 km of older AC water mains surveyed for leaks and structural integ-rity. About 45 per cent of those tested were in very poor condition, and an-other 38 per cent (8.2 km) were in “poor condition,” meaning 30 to 45 per cent of the wall thickness had been compromised. The rest of the pipes have minor or moderate degra-dation.

The district owns about 174 kilometres of water mains, most of which is DI (121 km). About 44 km are AC pipes.

The condition of the AC pipes was tested with sensors using acoustic-based technology, which measures the time it takes the signal to travel from one end to the other.

Funding for the project will come from the water capital reserve, and coun-cil has agreed to increase that fund from $300,000 to $1 million annually until 2021.



Mission council has delayed a decision to allow a cell phone tower at the corner of Shook Road and Lougheed Highway until the applicant can address concerns.

Mary Roadhouse and Cath-erine Cloutier presented council

with a petition containing 912 signatures opposing the tower.

Both women have lived in Hatzic for more than 40 years and spoke of the wildlife con-cerns, and the dangers they say the electromagnetic radiation from the tower can have on humans, especially young chil-dren.

Scott Telecom Services’ Van-

essa Cartwright, who put in the application, requested a deferral in order to respond to residents’ questions.

Cartwright explained Wind Mobile would be the anchor tenant, but the tower could ac-commodate four carriers.

She noted the new tower would address the cell coverage gap. Currently, there is no Wind mo-

bile coverage in the Hatzic area.The tower would be 57.9 me-

tres tall and would not require any lighting.

Cartwright noted she would work with the district to land-scape around the tower and the structure can be painted any colour the district wants.

The issue is expected to be back in front of council April 15.

Cell tower decision delayed

A watermain made of asbestos cement was broken along the Lougheed Highway near the Visitor Information Centre earlier this year. Mission’s director of engineering and public works, Rick Bomhof, says more lines could have the same fate if Mission doesn’t become more proactive in replacing degraded AC watermains.

Glenda Serena couldn’t hold back her tears as Mission council voted down a temporary use permit to allow Moun-tain Falls Retreat to host

weddings and other spe-cial events on its Laxton Avenue property.

“You’re ruining what should be one of the happiest moments in life,” said Serena, whose daughter had booked the facility for her May 4 wedding.

She explained guests from Europe have al-ready arranged travel plans. “What about the families that have al-ready invested in the business and are about to lose everything?” she asked rhetorically.

The Serenas, who live in Pitt Meadows, had visited Mountain Falls’ website, and were not

aware the business didn’t have the proper permits to operate what was being advertised.

It was the website that alerted the District of Mission to the unauthor-ized use of the property in the Agricultural Land Reserve and it was only then the municipality received an application from the business, read a report to council.

Since 2006, the prop-erty has been landscaped and the house renovated. A number of accessory buildings were also put up for personal use, but a large tent still remains without a permit. The ex-isting house is licensed

for a three-bedroom bed and breakfast, and the current zoning on the property doesn’t allow for special events, such as weddings, it read.

Mission council re-jected the zoning change and refused to forward the application to the Agricultural Land Com-mission with its support two weeks ago, but after meeting with mayor and staff, owner Steve Kal-dis was back in council chambers Monday night seeking a temporary use permit. He said he’s in-vested $2 million into the

An Abbotsford coun-cillor wants to parlay his 30 years of municipal service into a job repre-senting a larger audience the May 14 election.

Simon Gibson will be running under the BC Liberal banner in the Abbotsford-Mission rid-ing, and the long-serving politician will be open-ing his Mission cam-paign office March 23 at 1:30 p.m.

Gibson grew up on Vancouver Island, and moved to Abbotsford in the mid-1970s. He was first elected to Abbots-ford council in 1979, and has served continuously since then, except for one year.

The married father of two adult children has been teaching business at the University of the Fra-ser Valley for 13 years, and previously taught professional communica-tions at Trinity Western

University in Langley.Before teaching, he

worked for Finning Trac-tor and Surrey Metro Savings.

“I felt my experience in elected office would benefit the residents of our community,” said Gibson on his motiva-tion to run. “I think I would be a strong repre-sentative in the legisla-ture. I’m a proven hard worker and I’m a good listener.”

Gibson said the BC Liberals have provided

strong, financially pru-dent leadership.

“While I’m a believer that government has to provide a mix of social services,” there must be a strong economy in place to pay for those programs, he noted. “The NDP doesn’t have a mo-nopoly on social con-science.”

Gibson has been spending two days per week in Mission since he won the riding nomina-tion in January, and says the response he’s gotten has been “overwhelm-ingly positive.”

The Mission cam-paign office will be lo-cated at the corner of Horne Street and North Railway Avenue, across from the Petro-Canada station.

Gibson can be reached via e-mail ([email protected]), on his website (simongibson.ca), by phone (604-778-549-0647) and you can follow him on Twitter (simonformla).

Simon Gibson is running for the BC Liberals in Abbotsford-Mission.

A 27-year-old Mission man was ar-rested following an armed robbery in Deroche March 12.

RCMP say a lone suspect entered the Shell Gas Station on Lougheed High-way in the small rural community east of Mission, and threatened the clerk with a knife. The suspect fled the store in a vehicle with cash and cigarettes.

Mission Mounties spotted a vehicle matching the description and arrested the driver, who was found to be in pos-session of money and cigarettes, alleg-edly taken during the robbery.

The man is in custody awaiting a bail hearing. Police have not released his name and so far, no charges have been laid.

There was some public business conducted in the final frantic days

of the B.C. legislature ses-sion last week, but you likely wouldn’t have heard much about it.

Premier Christy Clark’s skimpy governing agenda was overshadowed by the delivery of an internal in-vestigation report into her government’s ethnic outreach program.

A review by four deputy ministers detailed what re-porters already knew from a memo and meeting notes leaked to the NDP. The plan started in the premier’s office, led by Clark’s deputy chief of staff, who resigned once it was made public.

A BC Liberal Party em-ployee attended the first meeting, expressly intended to organize events to impress immigrant communities, then harvest the goodwill in the form of contact lists for the coming election campaign.

After 10,000 e-mails were collected and 27 interviews conducted, they revealed a few significant details.

Former multiculturalism minister John Yap knew or

should have known that the scheme was being kept secret because it was an inappropri-ate use of government re-sources. He won’t be back in cabinet, although Clark said he intends to run for re-elec-tion in Richmond-Steveston.

Yap’s executive assistant resigned when the report came out, admitting he helped cover the tracks of po-litical meddling in the hiring of three outreach contractors with sufficient loy-alty to the party.

Clark insists she knew nothing of this plan. She tabled the investigation report, and then announced that the BC Liberal Party had written a $70,000 cheque to the government to cover the estimated cost of the inappropriate political work done by non-political staff.

Here’s the part taxpayers may not fully appreciate. There are authorized political staffers all over the legisla-ture, in the premier’s office, the opposition leader’s office

and two teams of caucus em-ployees who spend much of their time digging up dirt on the other party. All are paid by you and me.

A line is crossed only when a non-political employee such as a ministry communications director acts on behalf of the party. The main offender in

that capacity was one Brian Bon-ney, whose records

suggested he spent half of his time on party work. He quit in February, before the plan was leaked, and the party paid back half of his salary for the 18 months he was on the public payroll.

NDP outrage over this was blunted by another leaked document. This one

was from a never-released 2010 report by Auditor Gen-eral John Doyle, which con-demned a five-year program of skimming money from NDP constituency office bud-gets all over the province and using it for political work.

In a nice bit of symme-try, much of the more than

$400,000 was spent to put three-time candidate Gabriel Yiu on the NDP caucus pay-roll.

In fact, it was the NDP-Yiu operation that inspired a BC Liberal copycat plan.

The NDP quietly stopped the budget skimming after Doyle pointed out the blin-dingly obvious, which is that constituency funds are to serve constituents and are not to be diverted to political organizing.

It was kept under wraps by the secretive Legislative Assembly Management Com-mittee. This is the BC Liber-al-NDP co-managed trough of undocumented MLA expenses and other question-able payments that Doyle has only recently dragged into the light.

Both of these schemes have the same stink. Both are in-tentional abuse of taxpayers’ money for the political gain of the dominant parties. There is no moral high ground for either of them.

Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

[email protected]

Crossing partisan lineThe report by deputy minister John Dyble into the

conduct of government staffers confirms the worst — a number of people on the public payroll were busy doing Liberal Party business, and ignoring clear government directives not to do so.

Whether this was to do with ethnic outreach or swing voters is irrelevant. What is relevant is that there was no clear demarcation between partisan and government work, and people at a high level in the premier’s office knew and approved of this.

If people want to engage in partisan work and are on the government payroll, they have a right to so — on their time off. While they are working for the government on projects like ethnic outreach, those projects need to be for government purposes.

While the NDP initially raised this serious case of the blurring of partisan and government roles, the party does not have completely clean hands. It has since come out that four-time NDP candidate Ga-briel Yiu has been on the payroll of the NDP caucus — which gets its funds from taxpayers.

While Yiu did not mix government and party work (his party is in opposition), and the former legislative comp-troller signed off on NDP caucus members using part of their constituency funds to pay Yiu, this looks more like a situation where the party made a job for him, at taxpayers’ expense, while waiting for the next election.

The report from Dyble will do little to restore public confidence in the Christy Clark government, particularly as these actions were taking place within her office, and in the run-up to the election.

However, the fact that the NDP has paid former candidates to do political work with tax dollars is also troubling. It all makes it that much harder for voters to decide which candidate and party to choose when they cast their ballots. At the moment, “none of the above” is not on the ballot.

Editor, The Record:An open letter to

ICBC:Please make up your

minds. Are B.C. seniors the best drivers with the fewest and least serious driving incidents, or are they not?

I am sure the statis-tics will clearly show that seniors are the least likely to be involved in accidents compared to all other drivers. If so, then why not call off all the driving tests for se-niors, and instead, put your time and effort into improving the driving habits of the 30-50-year-old drivers who, most of the time, drive well over the speed limits and are involved in the most ac-cidents.

Get real, ICBC, and let the elderly drivers con-tinue to drive carefully until their lifespans end of natural causes in the course of the next few years.

Editor, The Record:B.C. Watersheds along with

Friends of Deroche Mountain are sponsoring a World Water Day Rally in the Valley.

The rally is scheduled for March 22, 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in front of MLA Randy Hawes office on First Avenue. Hawes is the chair of the (APP) Aggregate Pilot Project.

We could be at the 11th hour of major irreversible destructive changes to our water sources. Mining zones are planned for our most important Fraser Valley wa-tersheds, above and in habitats that are also some of the best water-sheds for salmon spawning left in the world.

I want the APP scrapped and the

Mines Act amended.The main selling point of the

APP on the FVRD’s website: “The objective of APP is to develop a set of recommendations supported by local government and the Aggre-gate Industry for new approaches that reduce conflicts and secure a long-term stable aggregate supply.”

Well over 90 per cent of those

speaking at public meetings have been opposed to the APP. Since we already have over a 100 years worth of gravel permitted for our local needs, what is it really about?

Many of the details of the APP have been decided in closed door meetings without public inclusion.

business and 10 weddings have already been booked. While Mayor Ted Adlem and Councillor Tony Luck wanted to proceed to a public hearing, the rest of council had other views. Coun. Dave Hensman was absent from the meeting.

Here, we have a project that was started in 2006; has involved building without permits, conduct of business without licenses, then in 2013, they come in for a rezoning, said Coun. Jenny Stevens.

“This is a concept which I would find interesting and could be good for Mission if any attempt had been made to follow legal requirements in due

process. If we allow this to happen, we may as well tear up every zoning bylaw we have and ignore the Official Com-munity Plan,” she added.

Mountain Falls Retreat manager Maria Silva, who gave a brief presentation to council about the business vision ear-lier in the evening, said “there are conse-quences to not following the rules.”

Kaldis agreed. “We have to accept our punishment. We have to work hard to explain ourselves.”

While the business will not be ex-panding, Kaldis said they will focus on their businesses and what they can do on the land, including plans to build a spice and herb garden.

“And we’ll keep building relation-ships with the community,” said Silva.

The provincial government is granting just over $90,000 in traffic fines to the District of Mission.

The traffic fine revenue sharing program has been active since 2009, and benefits communities that pay police enforcement costs. The grants come from tick-et fines and court-imposed fines on violation tickets, and the amount of money each municipality receives is based on its contribution to total community polic-ing costs.

“The decision a number of years ago to return 100 per cent of net traffic fine revenue to local govern-ments was the right thing to do,” said Maple Ridge-Mission MLA Marc Dalton. “This is an important contribution to help reduce policing costs in Mission.”

The B.C. NDP collect-ed more than $500,000 from constituency of-fice budgets starting in 2005, using the money for purposes that Auditor General John Doyle de-scribed as inappropriate and inadequately docu-mented.

Documents from a draft internal audit of

B.C. legislature financ-es surfaced this week. They describe a practice of NDP constituency of-fices paying $202 per month each into a “cen-tralized fund” that was used to hire three-time NDP candidate Gabriel Yiu on contracts to work for the NDP caucus.

B.C. Liberal cabinet minister Bill Bennett said Premier Christy Clark has apologized

for a plan that suggested using government re-sources to help the party, and the NDP should do the same for this.

“This is a kickback scheme,” Bennett said. “This is a scheme that uses money that’s in-tended for constituency offices around this prov-ince ... your NDP MLA thought that it was OK to send back $200 a month to the caucus for politi-cally partisan reasons, rather than using that money to look after your constituents.”

NDP caucus chair Shane Simpson rejected suggestions that the cen-tralized fund was a viola-tion of the rules, noting that it was approved by the legislature’s in-house accountant at the time.

The legislature’s for-mer comptroller general was fired last year after a broader audit by Doyle revealed MLAs’ person-al expenses were being

BY JEFF NAGELBlack Press

Salmon watchers are hoping this is the year the troubled Fraser River sockeye run turns the corner on its disastrous collapse four years ago.

If returns come in as forecast, nearly 4.8 mil-lion sockeye will make their way up the Fraser this summer.

That’s still well short of the longer term aver-age of 8.6 million for this part of the four-year cycle.

But it would be a huge improvement from 2009, when more than 10 mil-lion salmon were expect-ed and just 1.5 million arrived, prompting the federal government to appoint the Cohen Com-mission to investigate the decline.

“Hopefully we’ll get a run that’s much im-proved relative to 2009,” said Mike Lapointe, chief biologist for the Pacific Salmon Commis-sion. “If the run returns bigger and we’re able to get some rebuilding, that will be very important for the sockeye moving forward. It will definitely be more than what we had in the parent year that produced it.”

Nobody is guarantee-ing a commercial fishery yet. The pre-season fore-cast shows a one-in-four

chance of a Fraser sock-eye run below 2.7 mil-lion, which would likely rule out commercial fishing, and a one-in-10 chance it will be as bad as 2009.

But after the Cohen inquiry failed to come up with a single cause or solution to the slide, observers like Lapointe would be happy to con-

tinue to see an improving trendline.

“We definitely did bet-ter in 2012 than 2008, we did better in 2011 than in 2007. If we can do better again in 2013 from 2009 we’ll have gotten some rebuilding off of those three very low years.”

Last year’s sockeye return, while up, wasn’t enough to allow com-

mercial fishing or sports angling.

There are no concerns about 2014 — next year marks the return of the huge Adams River run, which came back with a stunning return of more than 30 million sockeye in 2010, meaning enough fish spawned to assure at least a healthy run.

The bulk of this year’s

sockeye are summer-run salmon, concentrated in two stocks — the Ques-nel and Chilko lake sys-tems. Also coming back this year are pink salm-on, which run on a two-year cycle.

Nearly nine million pinks are forecast to re-turn — below average and down from the last couple of runs of more

than 15 million.Still, Lapointe said

there are good odds of some commercial fishing for pinks, which typical-ly fetch around 40 cents a pound, compared to $1.50 to $2 for sockeye.

“It’s going to depend on how many pinks there are and how much in-terest there is [from the commercial fleet].”


paid without receipts. Those and other in-adequacies in record-keeping prevented Doyle from assessing whether constituency funds were being properly spent.

The 2010 draft audit described the response of NDP “management” as admitting that the payments were inap-propriate.

“Management er-roneously relied on the honour system prevalent at the [Leg-islative] Assembly to accept the request for transfers which are now shown to have been inappropriate,” the draft audit stated.

It described the use of the funds as for “partisan purposes and not for goods or services consistent with the original pur-pose of the constitu-ency office.”

It’s still too early in the season to predict whether there will be a commercial fishery for sockeye. EVAN SEAL PHOTO

Due to the huge popularity of last year’s compost giveaway event, we are doing it again! A great, big thank you to all Mission residents, who have embraced the idea of using their Rot Pots to divert food waste from the landfill! You are making a big difference, curbside compost ton-nages are up by 60 per cent!

Reward yourself by picking up your free Rot Pot compost at the Mission Landfill (32000 Dewdney Trunk Rd., just east of the Stave Lake dam) on Saturday, April 20, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be enough for everyone, so please make use of the entire time window to avoid unnecessary delays.

Quantities will be lim-ited to one cubic yard per customer (District of Mission residents only, please). Bring your pickup truck to be loaded by machine,

or bring a shovel and a container to pack up some compost yourself. Please note that Rot Pot compost is not a potting soil, but intended to be mixed into existing flower and vegetable beds as a soil condi-tioner and slow-release fertilizer.

Larger quantities (upwards of 15 cubic yards) of Rot Pot compost can now also be purchased directly from the processor. Please phone 604-826-7379 for additional information. Smaller quantities of Rot Pot compost are available at Global Landscaping Supplies (globalland-scapingsupplies.webs.com; 604-852-8905) at 7085 Bridge St. Please contact either supplier directly for pricing and pickup/delivery options.

For more information, call the engineering department at 604-820-3736 or send an e-mail to [email protected].

Stave Falls Visitor Centre is now open to the public for the sea-son.

The centre shows the important role that British Columbia’s hydroelectric devel-opment played in the history and landscape of the Stave Valley, be-ginning in 1909, when the Western Canada Power Company Lim-ited began constructing the power plant at Stave Falls.

The 101-year-old power house — a des-ignated Canadian Na-tional Heritage Site — offers the public and schools guided and self-guided tours. It also houses a 50-seat theatre and a gift shop.

Inside the centre, there are interactive games and historic displays that tell the story of how power has helped build British Columbia. The inner workings of the power house’s original

1912 mechanical and electrical components are also on display.

The visitor centre is located in northern Mission, adjacent to the Hayward Lake Recre-ation Area.

The local attraction is one of BC Hydro’s four visitor centres in the province.

To contact centre or to book a tour, phone 604-462-1222. The building is fully wheelchair ac-cessible.

Stave Falls Power House visitor centre now open

Mission’s restorative justice program will now be under the oversight of Mission RCMP.

Mission Restorative Resolutions has oper-ated under the District of Mission since 2005, and the core review last July recommended the pro-gram be “devolved to the non-profit sector,” said a municipal press release.

“The program could be utilized more and Rich-ard [Konarski] is in the best position to work with and evaluate the program going forward,” said Mayor Ted Adlem of the Mission RCMP in-spector, who has experi-ence “in working with social justice and conflict resolution programs like MRR.”

The program will now be run out of the Com-munity Policing Office on First Avenue.

THE SPRING OF LIFEAfter the long cold night of winter, spring comes as the year’s dawn. In the midst of winter, it seems as if life is literally being pulled back into the Earth, receding from the surface of our planet. But each year spring inevitably arrives, and life surges once again, bursting out from the tips of trees and the earth itself in vibrant greens and yellows that can only signal that life is waxing once again. Life on earth has a rhythm to it, a pulsing cycle of waxing and waning tides. The sun rises; the sun sets. The sap rises; the sap falls. Flowers bloom and flowers fade. We inhale and we exhale. Growth and decay, like our breathing and the beating of our hearts, is a surge of life, and then a receding of life. Perhaps what we love about spring is that we can literally see and feel the surge of life. The earth is again coming back to life, and as a part of nature, we feel once again that bloom of youth which adds zest and vigor to our own lives. Spring is the season for those who love life. Thank God for making each of us a part of this beautiful cycle of life.

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a

time to be born, and a time to die.

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.

Performers from across the Lower Mainland will be putting on a benefit show at the Clarke The-atre on March 25 for a colleague who has lost a limb.

Tony Del, who plays with Mission’s Ken McCoy Band, lost his leg in October due to ongo-ing complications from a spider bite.

“He lived with it for seven years before he lost his leg,” said McCoy, event organizer, who has played with Del for more than 16 years.

To help his fellow mu-sician with the new chal-lenges he’ll be facing, Jerry Doucette, Jim By-rnes, Dave Martone, One More Girl, Ken McCoy Band, The Ray Roper Project, Simon Jarrett, The Lying Bastards, An-gela Harris, and a few others will be putting on a concert in his honour.

Another beneficiary of the fundraising show will be the War Amps of Canada.

Silent auction items at the event include four Cloverdale Rodeo passes and beat the line passes for the rodeo and Longhorn Saloon. There will also be an oil-skin, long rider jacket and an acoustic guitar signed by the artists performing.

Tickets to the show are $20 each and avail-able online at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/343766 or by call-ing 604-820-3961.

Gary Comeau and the VooDoo Allstars will be performing at the Histor-ic Dewdney Pub Sunday, March 24 at 4 p.m.

Comeau is a Louisiana-inspired musician who plays a wide range of in-struments, including gui-tar, mandolin, fiddle and piano. His music is high energy with a Cajun vibe and will make your head spin and feet shuffle.

Tickets to the show are $10 at the Historic Dewd-ney Pub, 8793 River Rd. South, Dewdney. For more information call 604-826-4762 or visit website churchofthe-blues.ca.

MARATHON / HALF MARATHON / 10K RUN / 5K FUN RUN

RUN FOR WATER

RUNFORWATER.CAABBOTSFORD’S 6TH ANNUAL PREMIER RUNNING EVENT

A COMMUNITY EVENTWITH A GLOBAL CAUSE

WHO? DAVE LOEWEN, Abbotsford City Councillor and teacher at MEI Secondary.

WHAT? Dave has participated in the 5 or 10 K run at the Run for Water each year.

WHY? “Ever since my two-year sojourn in the Congo, I’ve had a keen interest in Africa. Furthermore, I’ve learned that one person’s actions can have an impact on the lives of others. The simple act of providing potable water not only improves lives, but also unleashes the amazing potential of young people, especially girls, through education. When I was � rst approached by Ken Baerg and Randall Peters about initiating this event, I knew immediately that it was something I wanted for Abbotsford to embrace, knowing the capacity for generosity and empathy held by its residents. Not only did I want to participate, but I wanted by grandchildren to participate, and in so doing, develop an appreciation for what they take for granted each day, and a sense of responsibility for sharing it with those less fortunate.”

Every 15 seconds, a child dies from a water-related disease.

20 The Mission Record Thursday, March 21, 201320 The Mission Record Thursday, March 21, 2013

After a less than me-diocre record though the Christmas break, the U12 Mission Strikers went undefeated since Feb. 2 culminating in two over-time shoot out victories to win the division cup

championship.The March 9 game saw

the Strikers take a 3-1 lead into the later part of the game, with goals by Jack-son Trask, Bavan Dahli-wal, and Jasraj Brar.

Maple Ridge’s West

Coast Warriors, hold-ers of the league’s best record, were far from done and battled back to tie the game at 3-3 by the end of regulation time. Superb defense by Brar, Dylan Harmston

and Erik Theissen, as well as some huge and timely stops by goal-keeper Tanner Geringer, helped preserve the tie through two overtime sessions which forced a shoot out.

During the shoot out Mission was up 2-0, but found themselves tied after five shooters each. After the Warriors sixth shot was stopped, Mis-sion’s Cole Baird buried the winner.

BY JASON ROESSLEMission Record

A local martial arts in-structor is combining a grading for his students, with an opportunity for the public to learn some new skills and help the local food bank.

Chris Ginter is a sixth-degree black belt in jujit-su, runs a Mission-based school, and is organiz-ing Budofest, a two-day event that is bringing ka-rate and jujitsu instruc-tors together.

Ginter said he was involved with a simi-lar fundraiser in Maple Ridge last year with the Friends in Need Food Bank, and this year is collecting donations for the St. Joseph’s Food Bank on Seventh Av-enue.

Those interested can take part in karate and ju-jitsu instruction through-out the weekend, and are encouraged to bring donations for those less fortunate.

Ginter runs his school out of the Canadian Mar-tial Arts Academy on North Railway Avenue, directly across from the West Coast Express sta-tion.

For more information, and for drop-in times, call Chris at 604-767-0427.

The Heritage to Hatzic 5 and 10 km runs will be happening April 7, and the route goes through the scenic Fraser River Heritage park and the quiet roads of the neigh-bourhood of Hatzic.

Funds raised from the event will be donated to Mission Hospice Soci-ety, and organizer Pen-insula Runners, have set a goal of $3,000 or more.

Register at Peninsula Runners, 1707 Salton Rd., in Abbotsford, or online at peninsularun-ners.com.
