Taxes will not be increasing this year, said Mayor Ted Adlem at Mon-day’s council meeting before add-ing he couldn’t provide details until Thursday.

Coun. Nelson Tilbury said staff de-serve the credit for the “zero per cent increase.”

“A lot of people thought we were going to run [Mission] like a business but that hasn’t been the case. What’s been done is using best business prac-tices,” he said.

According to the 2012 draft bud-get published by the district Nov. 3, it estimated taxes would need to be increased by 6.15 per cent to main-tain current service levels, and that it would take $1.3 million in savings to lower that increase to just one per cent.

Another surprise was the announce-ment that residential flat-rate water and sewer services will be increasing two per cent each, despite previous estimates they would both increase five per cent.

The draft budget noted water rates were expected to rise to $470 from $447 last year. That number will now be closer to $456 with a two per cent increase. Sewer services were project-ed to rise to $357 from $340 last year, but instead will increase roughly $7.

There will be more budget details available on the district’s website Thursday morning, followed by a pub-lic input session held at district hall March 15.

Students were expected back in classes today after a three-day strike that saw teachers standing outside their places of employ-ment, and in other visible spots throughout Mission.

Teachers were also to have gath-ered on Second Avenue in front of the Mission Teachers’ Union (MTU) office Wednesday after-noon, after The Record’s press deadline, culminating in a rally along First Avenue.

“We wish you to know that we took this action reluctantly and only after careful consideration,” said a press release from the MTU. “The government would have the public believe that this strike is all about wage increases for teach-ers. What the government does not want to talk about is the savage destruction of our collective agree-

ment and basic rights as workers.”Several local educators also made

the trek to Victoria Tuesday and joined between 4,000 and 5,000 union members as they marched on the B.C. legislature to protest legislation putting an end to seven months of job action by public school teachers.

Teachers and other union mem-bers came by bus, plane and ferry from around the province to demand that the government withdraw Bill 22, which will impose a cooling-off period and appoint a mediator to seek a settlement within the govern-ment’s “net zero” wage mandate for B.C.’s 41,000 teachers.

B.C. Teachers’ Federation presi-dent Susan Lambert addressed the crowd to cheers and chants of “shame” as she described 10 years of government action to “strip” BCTF contracts. Bill 22 repeals 2002 legislation struck down by the B.C. Supreme Court, but re-instates many of their provisions,

Lambert said.Lambert also denounced new

performance evaluations and disci-plinary measures for teachers.

“One bad report and you’re gone,” she said.

B.C. Federation of Labour presi-dent Jim Sinclair told the crowd the restriction of teacher rights to strike and bargain working condi-tions are a blow to all unions. He and Lambert both said the govern-ment refused to put the year-long teacher dispute to an independent mediator, and have restricted any settlement to fund wage and bene-fit increases through savings found within the education system.

The BCTF has demanded a 16 per cent wage increase and benefit improvements that the employers’ negotiators say will cost taxpayers an extra $2 billion a year.

Education Minister George Ab-bott said the government will con-tinue to debate Bill 22 without ex-tending legislature hours, despite

an opposition delaying tactic where all 34 NDP MLAs are speaking for the maximum time.

That could drag the debate into next week, where teachers are in a legal position to strike for one more day. If teachers continue their walkout Thursday and Friday in defiance of a Labour Relations Board ruling on essential services, the government would reassess its position, Abbott said.

Pickets put up by members of the BCTF and other unions at gov-ernment offices around Victoria Tuesday morning directed union-ized staff not to go to work, but to register for strike pay with the B.C. Government and Service Em-ployees’ Union and then attend the rally instead.

The government applied to the Labour Relations Board for an in-junction against picketing, which the BCTF was prohibited from doing in an earlier ruling that al-lowed a three-day strike this week.

The essence of fire-fighting is helping your neighbour,

and after 20 years, the members of Mission Fire/Rescue Service’s station three continue to serve in that spirit.

From the original 17 members, five still re-main, and on Saturday will be celebrating two decades of putting their lives on the line for Sil-verdale residents’ safety and property.

Before the Silverhill Avenue station was built, the community fire protection was provided by station one, located on Seventh Avenue, and if there was a house fire or other serious incident, it would take at least 10 minutes for that first truck to arrive.

Now, that time has been cut roughly in half, resulting in far better saves, say the paid on-call volunteers.

Chief Mike Lavallee, Capt. Leonard Pesonen, Lieut. Phil Daigle, Lieut. Joe McElroy, and Fire-fighter Kevin O’Beirne each shared several sto-ries recently about how the hall’s location and its contingent of firefighters have benefited the close-knit rural community.

In particular, Pesonen recalled a house fire last year just up from the hall that started between the laundry room and garage. The close prox-imity of the station en-

abled firefighters to ar-rive quickly, and quench the fire before it spread to the rest of the house.

Station three came into being from the simple premise that the community wanted it, said O’Beirne. The Southwest Mission Rate-payers — helmed at the time by Kevin’s father, Tom O’Beirne — came together and put on countless fundraisers to match dollar for dollar what the district contrib-uted. The province then matched that total with a grant.

Daigle, who will be retiring this year, re-members coming into the hall for the first time in December 1991 and finding one fire truck next to a large pile of lumber. “It was so big we had to crawl over it to get to the truck,” he said with a laugh.

Each man had differ-ent reasons for joining up, and staying for 20 years.

Pesonen said he knew several people at his work in Maple Ridge who were firefighters, so when the call went out that Silverdale was getting its hall, he put his name forward be-cause he didn’t think there would be a large number of younger men able to meet the time or physical demands of the job.

Daigle had lived in several cities growing up and always thought it “would be neat to be a

firefighter, but I was too small.” When the com-munity asked for volun-teers, he applied.

O’Beirne sat on the fire committee when the project was getting start-ed, and when he began asking people to sign up as firefighters, a friend said they should sign up together.

“I signed up, but he never did,” O’Beirne chuckled. “But it’s been a great experience.

Joe McElroy’s wife pushed him to try it, and since he had lived in the adjacent Silverhill School for seven years, it was an easy commute in the middle of the night.

For Lavallee, he was looking for a way to

contribute to a com-munity in which he had lived for only 18 months at that time, and firefighting seemed an “interesting” way.

Aside from Lavallee and Daigle, the other three plan to remain on until it isn’t fun any-more.

“It’s a pseudo-family,” said Pesonen. “It’s good to be here with the guys.”

Open houseThe public is invited

to come out Saturday, March 10 to fire station three for an open house between 1 and 4 p.m. The station is located at 30435 Silverhill Ave. For more information call 604-820-3793.

The district’s forestry operation lost over a quarter-million dollars in 2011, according to figures released at Mon-day’s council meeting.

The $258,000 loss will be covered by the forestry reserve which is currently sitting at $412,000.

“This gives you an in-dication that we should be building up the re-serves in forestry,” said Coun. Larry Nundal.

Director of forest man-agement Kim Allan said the projected increase in logging volumes in the next two years will raise revenues. The district has

been cutting less than its maximum allotment, and saving its best timber for when the market re-bounds, he added.

Mission’s operation is within a five-year cut control period end-ing 2013 operating at a 35,000 to 38,000 cubic metres (m3) volume. That will now rise to about 50,000 m3 in the final two years.

The loss is being blamed on a lower vol-ume of harvested logs, market declines in the latter part of the year, and the less valuable younger age and species mix.

Allan said that although the direct costs of log-ging has remained prof-itable, the department’s

overhead costs have to be taken into account.

“We have a building, we have bills to pay, brushing plantations, doing reforestation, rec-reation trails, staff over-head, you know, the fixed costs. So, when we make money over and above from our logging, we need to pay those other things as well.”

“The expert forecasts are that we are moving into a more profitable pe-riod,” said Coun. Jenny Stevens, rebuffing skep-ticism from Coun. Tony Luck.

Forestry will be part of the council’s core services review, taking place between March and June.

DBA makes recommendations

The Downtown Busi-ness Association has submitted six recom-mendations toward en-couraging people to visit, shop, and eat on First Avenue.

Included in the recom-mendations is a contro-versial call to lower the speed limit to just 30 km/h and divert trucks using the Murray Street overpass.

Other suggestions in-clude increased park-ing enforcement, higher urban density, and push-ing for eastbound trains during the day.

Staff were directed to come back with a report on the recommendations.

A coordinated effort by Mission’s police and fire departments helped shut down 20 problem houses in 2011.

Mission RCMP are now asking the public to do its part and report sus-pected problem houses.

Problem houses — sometimes re-ferred to as “flop houses” or “crack shacks” — often become havens for illegal activity such as illicit drug use, trafficking and property crime.

Since the beginning of 2011, local RCMP and the Mission Crime Pre-vention Office have met monthly

with property owners and landlords to educate and share information on what is taking place on their proper-ties.

To learn more on how to record and report suspicious activity, visit www.mission.rcmp.gc.ca.

Also, for more information on the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program and the Landlord Tenancy Act, visit www.bccpa.org.

To report suspicious activity or crimes, call 604-826-7161, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Problem houses shut down

Two attempted grow rips in two days have prompted RCMP to ask for the public’s help.

Shortly after 1:30 p.m. March 2, Mission RCMP responded to a 911 call of a home invasion in progress in the 32000-

block of Beaver Drive.The alleged suspect(s)

kicked in the front door of the residence then fled after being confronted by the homeowner. Po-lice later found an illicit marijuana grow opera-tion.

RCMP believe the residence was being targeted, said Cpl. Sha-ron Siluch, adding there were young children liv-ing there.

The male suspect is described as approxi-mately six feet tall with

his face covered. Wit-nesses describe seeing a boxy-looking car. The police are looking for a vehicle described as a black, four-door car with silver trim around the outer door.

Early morning March

4, RCMP were called to break and enter in prog-ress in the 32000-block of McRae Avenue. The homeowner interrupt-ed two alleged suspects who appeared to be tar-geting this residence as it, too, had an illicit mar-

ijuana grow operation.The alleged suspects

were described as young males, one with very dark skin, and both wearing/ dressed in all black.

Mission RCMP urge everyone who has in-

formation in relation to either of these investi-gations, or any crime, to please contact the Mission Detachment at (604) 826 - 7161 or Crime Stoppers at

Perhaps the single most ridiculous stunt in the lead-up to this week’s

teachers’ strike was pulled at an elementary school here in the capital.

A teacher gave her Grade 1 class an assignment for anti-bullying day: take crayons in hand and write to Educa-tion Minister George Abbott, demanding he stop bullying their teacher and address class size and composition. This North Korea-style political indoctrination of six-year-olds was a mistake, according to the local teach-ers’ union boss, who vaguely indicated that the unnamed teacher would apologize to parents.

Is this self-serving abuse of teacher authority an iso-lated incident? My experi-ence as a parent and journal-ist suggests it is not, and recent events support that. By Friday, students across B.C. were skipping class in solidarity with their teach-ers, led by budding campus radicals suddenly conversant with B.C. Teachers’ Fed-eration talking points about “Bill 22.”

This left-wing groupthink

pervades the education system from public schools through taxpayer-supported colleges and universities.

After a couple of genera-tions of this indoctrination, almost everyone “knows” that government under-fund-ing is at the heart of every school problem, standardized testing is an assault on the fragile self-esteem of students, and reducing class size is the top prior-ity for improving educational out-comes. All of this is glaringly false union propaganda, reinforced in class-room “current af-fairs” discussions.

Don’t believe me? Google “Study: Class size doesn’t matter” for the latest on a growing stack of scientific evidence that shows you and your children are being force-fed lies.

B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Susan Lambert an-nounced the strike on live TV with a remarkable string of rhetoric about the “Or-wellian” legislation that will

soon put an end to this teach-er tantrum. The government needs to negotiate “clearly, rationally and respectfully,” said the boss of union rep-resentatives who have spent the last year insulting the taxpayers’ negotiators by telling them to “go back to your masters” and get a

couple of billion more.

Clearly? It was the BCTF that an-nounced its work-to-rule plan for the fall and then took the summer off. It was the BCTF that didn’t even present its outra-geous 16-per-cent wage demand until January, a full 10 months after formal negotiations began, and accompanied it

with a false costing.Orwellian? At a sparsely at-

tended rally on the legislature lawn, local teachers’ unions marched out their most stri-dent tame trustee to demand the government “come to the table” with billions.

In Vancouver, a protesting teacher got big media play,

holding up a sign proclaim-ing that “it’s not about a wage increase, it’s about classroom conditions.”

This too is a lie. The BCTF trotted out its standard “children first” rhetoric, then tabled its breathtakingly out-of-touch benefit demands. It doesn’t take a math teacher to see what its $2 billion wage and benefit fantasy would actually do to class-room conditions.

For his part, Abbott started out pretty keen about stu-dents and parents heading down to occupy their local school and replace striking teachers with volunteers for a couple of days. But he changed his tune after the support staff union started grumbling about parents colouring too close to their craft lines.

One fight at a time, I guess. The next one will be over teacher performance as-sessment and the choke-hold of union seniority on school jobs.

No winners in disputeThe full-scale strike this week by B.C. teachers

was inevitable.After essentially working to rule for months while

the government dug in its heels on its “net zero” wage freeze mandate, tensions finally reached the boiling point. And the teachers were walking the sidewalks instead of imparting the Three Rs in classrooms.

Working parents, accustomed to the routine of carting their kids off to school while they went to their jobs, were left scrambling for alternative care.

That the labour dispute was allowed to reach this stage is a gamble by both sides. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation says the strategy it had been employ-ing since the beginning of the school year created little disruption on learning or the daily routines of students and their families while still allowing its 41,000 members to make their point. By escalating their job action to a province-wide walkout, teach-ers are hoping they’ll be able to drive home their stand that years of government cutbacks to educa-tion funding have strangled their ability to educate effectively.

The government, by introducing legislation that would impose its own mediator to settle the dispute once and for all and force the teachers back to their desks, is gambling the voting public is fed up with the teachers.

Letting the teachers cool their heels outside for a few days, causing great disruption to students and their parents, may only feed that impression.

Students will lose three valuable days of learning. Parents will lose sleep, and likely a few bucks, or-ganizing alternative care. Teachers will lose income and risk losing support. The government risks losing understanding for its hard-line stance.

It’s difficult to see how the wounds from this frac-tious dispute will ever be healed.

YOUR VIEWS

Editor, The Record:I’m sitting on the side

of the road for three days outside the school where I’ve taught for 23 years. My first strike in 1989 was for two weeks, but we bargained a con-tract that set class size limits and only three special needs students per class. We now have 30 kids in a Grade 5/6 split but there may be four to six special needs students in the class. In some shop classes there are eight special needs students with no extra support and the teachers are afraid to turn on the machinery.

Special needs stu-dents include those with learning disabilities, speech problems, au-tism, are deaf or blind, have Down syndrome, are ESL, or have se-vere behaviour prob-lems. Students with severe behaviour des-ignations might swear, spit, choke, punch, stab, throw chairs or have suicidal tendencies.

I am a learning assis-tance teacher and case manager for 25 special needs students. I know their needs and they are not getting enough sup-port, in fact, far from it. We have no special ed-ucation teachers, seven education assistants (EAs), and really good classroom teachers.

My husband wonders why I get upset about what’s happening in schools. He says it is the government’s responsi-bility to see that chil-dren in this province are educated. But guess what parents, our government is not being responsible.

In 1989 when we were on strike, the late Doro-thy Moon, a dedicated Mission teacher in the 1920s said to us, “What are you teachers com-plaining about? I taught 50 students in one room, all different ages, and the

reading material I found was old newspapers and magazines and they all learned.”

I can only chant the motto from my super-intendent, “We’re doing the best we can with what we’ve got.” What we’ve got are your kids, teachers who care and a government that doesn’t.

If you’re uncertain about who has your child’s best interest at heart, talk to a teacher on the side of the road near a school. Contact your MLA, school trust-

ee, education minister George Abbott, or Pre-mier Christy Clark and let them know how you feel about the way edu-cation is deteriorating in this province. I’m sure you’ll agree with me your kids are worth it.

Thank you high school students that stood up for your own education. I’m proud of you. Thank you parents that continuously and tirelessly raise funds for our schools because our government won’t.

TRAFFIC ADVISORY: RUSKIN DAM BRIDGE CLOSURE AND SINGLE LANE ACCESS ON WILSON ST

3355

Where: Mission, B.C. When: March 1, 2012 to March 2018

The British Columbia Utilities Commission’s (BCUC) review of the Ruskin Dam and Powerhouse Upgrade Project is not complete but is in the final stages. Pending BCUC approval, BC Hydro expects to begin project construction this spring. Meanwhile, pre-construction activities are presently underway at the Ruskin Dam.

CONTINUED RUSKIN DAM BRIDGE CLOSURE (Hayward Street over the dam)While we have not yet received project approval, a full 24-hour bridge closure for all motor vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles is in effect while pre-construction activities are underway. These pre-construction activities will continue until the project receives BCUC approval and proceeds into the project construction phase therefore the bridge closure will remain in effect until project completion in March 2018. If the project does not receive BCUC approval, the bridge will re-open.

WILSON STREETSingle lane on Wilson Street at the work site is required during this time. Traffic lights will be installed to improve driver safety. Please drive safely and respect all traffic signage and regulations.

If you have any questions or require further information, please call BC Hydro at 1 866 647 3334 or e-mail [email protected].

For 50 years, BC Hydro has been providing clean, reliable electricity to our customers. Today we are planning for the next 50 years by investing in new projects, upgrading existing facilities and working with our customers to conserve energy through Power Smart.

Thanks to everyone who sent in their letters, we had a huge response.

Editor, The Record:Currently in B.C. there

is an on-going labour dispute between the BC Teachers’ Federation and the BC Public School

Employers’ Association. I would love to support the teachers and their requests, but I can’t for one reason. It is the same reason why I do not actively lend my

voice to any public service union action, namely, the lack of evaluation, assess-ment and, when necessary, removal of an ineffective employee.

I believe the majority of teachers are compe-tent at their jobs. There are some that are fan-tastic at their jobs. And then there are some who do not have the capac-ity to teach or manage a classroom and therefore should not have the re-sponsibility of educating our children.

As a parent with three children in the public school system and hav-ing been on a PAC ex-ecutive, I have witnessed a wide gamut of teachers’ education styles and lev-els of competency. Many parents have approached

me seeking advice on how to address concerns over a teacher’s incom-petence, but because of the current process (or lack thereof) I have been unable to provide assis-tance or even the hope that their situation might be addressed.

The current evaluation process is based on the assumption that there is a level of competency being met by all teachers. While recognizing that teachers must have some basic security against parents who, as the result of a misguided agenda, might attach blame to the

teacher when their son or daughter is not thriv-ing, I believe an internal process of evaluation, which parents can fully support and understand, must be implemented in order to resolve the issue of competency in teach-ing. At present there is no such recourse for par-ents whose children are on the receiving end of ineffective, and in some cases, destructive chan-nels of education.

I worry that since a teacher’s union pay and security is greater than one can normally expect in the non-unionized, pri-

vate middle-class sector, teachers who are inef-fective will have no mo-tivation to change career paths to something more suitable to their skills set. The economic cost to so-ciety to keep these teach-ers employed is too great, especially when consid-ering the subsequent risk to the students they teach in terms of self-worth, social inclusion and edu-cational growth.

If this one area were addressed in a meaning-ful manner I would lend my support to the BCTF.

New Residential Construction Guide Benefits Homeowners and Builders

Homeowners have a new tool at their fingertips to help them better understand how warranty providers evaluate claims for possible design, labour or material defects in new homes.

The Residential Construction Performance Guide is the newest online resource available on the provincial Homeowner Protection Office website at www.hpo.bc.ca. It explains how homes covered by home warranty insurance should perform.

Every new home built for sale by a licensed residential builder in B.C. is protected by mandatory third-party home warranty insurance. It’s the strongest system of construction defect insurance in Canada.

“For most consumers, buying a new home is one of the largest financial investments they will make. So it’s essential that homebuyers can make that investment with confidence, know-ing that they will not be faced with additional expenses to repair defects after they move in,” said Tony Gioventu, executive director of the Condominium Home Owners’ Association and an advocate for consumer protection.

This simple, practical guide is easy to use. It outlines more than 200 possible defects that are searchable online. This includes the most common defect claims that might be submitted under a home warranty insurance policy – from windows that malfunction, to driveway or interior concrete floors that have cracked, to siding that has buckled.

Designed primarily for conventional low-rise, wood-frame homes, the guide also provides some helpful guidelines for the common property of multi-unit buildings. Builders can also use the guide to help ensure that they deliver high performance homes.

Dozens of residents turned out Thurs-day afternoon at the Leisure Centre to look at storyboards, fill out surveys and listen to Mission’s director of plan-ning discuss four possible options for a new, permanent home for the Seniors’ Centre.

Sharon Fletcher briefly discussed the options and addressed some questions council asked staff to look at in the past.

Seniors who attended were given a

survey to fill out that asked a variety of questions such as:

• Should there be one centre or sev-eral smaller sites?

• Who should own it?• What sort of amenities should it

have?A potential partnership between St.

Andrew’s United Church, the District of Mission and the Mission Seniors’ Association was presented to council in October.

The office of the Governor General of Canada is now accepting nominations for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, which pays tribute to Canada’s sovereign Queen Elizabeth II and her 60 years on the throne of England.

The commemorative medal was created to mark the anniversary as well as honour signifi-cant contributions and achievements made by

Canadians. As many as 60,000 people will be recognized with the medal between now and next February.

Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission MP Randy Kamp said constituents are invited to submit nominations by going to www.ran-dykamp.com and clicking the Diamond Jubi-lee icon. This will lead to an online registration

form that can be sent to Kamp’s office.“Thirty medals have been allocated for me

to present and I look forward to recogniz-ing exemplary Canadians who dedicate their time and efforts to bettering the lives of those around them, and making Canada stronger,” he said in a statement.

Nominations for the medal are open until

December 2012. Approval of nominees by the Chancellery of Honours takes about two to four weeks, and once approved the Royal Canadian Mint sends a medal and information package to the recipient.

You can find more information on the medal, including the eligibility criteria, by logging on to the Governor General website: www.gg.ca.

If you are interested in getting out on the water this summer, keep in mind that in order to operate any kind of water craft with a motor, you must earn your license first.

The Leisure Cen-tre will be hosting the “Boat Operator Accred-ited Training Course” (BOAT) on Saturday, March 10 led by a certi-fied BOAT instructor.

The course teaches candidates all that is required by the Coast Guard to earn the “Plea-sure Craft Operator Card.”

Candidates have the option to either take the full BOAT course, or take the BOAT Study Guide home in ad-vance and challenge the exam.

Pre-registration is required for both the course and exam.

Call 604-820-5350 ext. 0 or visit us on-line at www.mission.ca/lei-sure to register.

The Mayor and Council Invite You to Attend aPUBLIC BUDGET CONSULTATION

MEETINGTO PROVIDE INPUT ON THEIR

PROPOSED 2012 BUDGETon THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 2012, starting at 6:30 pmIN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS OF MUNICIPAL HALL

Council is proposing a 0% tax increase for 2012. The 0% has been achieved with minimal impact on District services or service levels. Council would like to hear and/or receive your input or comments before they fi nalize the District’s 2012 budget and related property tax rates.

Council is also proposing a 2% increase in water and sewer rates for 2012, in order to pay for major water and sewer infrastructure that will be needed in the future. There is no plan to increase refuse and recycling/composting user rates for 2012.

After a brief presentation by staff, members of the public will be invited to address Council in order to provide feedback. A 2012 budget overview document that explains the District’s proposed 2012 budget is available on the District’s website (at www.mission.ca/2012budget). Copies of this document will also be available at the meeting.

Council and staff encourage you to attend this important public budget meeting to provide input and to become better informed about the District’s budget/fi nances. If you are unable to attend this meeting, you can forward any written comments or questions (including e-mails) directly to Municipal Hall and Council at: [email protected]. We would appreciate receiving any comments before Friday, March 23, 2012.

Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 890 and 892 of the Local Government Act, a Public Hearing will take place in the Council Chambers of the Municipal Hall, 8645 Stave Lake Street, Mission, BC at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, March 19, 2012 to consider the following proposed bylaws:

DISTRICT OF MISSION ZONING AMENDING BYLAW 3943-2006 (R06-023 – Holman)

This bylaw proposes to amend District of Mission Zoning Bylaw 5050-2009 by:

(a) adding the new CD-14 Comprehensive Development zone to accommodate a 109 unit clustered residential development consisting of bare land strata acreage lots, common open spaces and one approximate 17.9 acre fee simple farm property. The CD-14 zone sets out the permitted, principal and accessory uses, development conditions, lot area, density, number of residential buildings, lot coverage, height of buildings, setbacks, accessory off street parking, agricultural and accessory greenhouse uses; and

(b) rezoning a portion of the property located at 8980 East Edwards Street (labelled Area A) and legally described as Parcel Identifier: 013 381 491; South East Quarter Section 35 Township 17 Except: Firstly: Part on Plan 3767 Secondly: Parcel “7” (Explanatory Plan 14778) New Westminster District from Rural 80 (RU80) zone to CD-14 Comprehensive Development zone; and

(c) rezoning a portion of the property located at 8980 East Edward Street (labelled Area B) and legally described as Parcel Identifier: 013 381 491; South East Quarter Section 35 Township 17 Except: Firstly: Part on Plan 3767 Secondly: Parcel “7” (Explanatory Plan 14778) New Westminster District from Rural 16 (RU16) zone to CD-14 Comprehensive Development zone; and

(d) rezoning the property located at 8977 West Edwards Street (labelled Area C) and legally described as Parcel Identifier: 010 997 466; Lot 5 Section 35 Township 17 New Westminster District Plan 3767 from Rural 16 (RU16) zone to CD-14 Comprehensive Development zone.

The location of the subject properties is 8980 East Edwards Street and 8977 West Edwards Street and the portions to be rezoned are shown on the following map:

The purpose of the proposed amendment is to create a new comprehensive development zone (CD-14) to accommodate the subsequent subdivision of the subject properties into 109 bare land strata lots ranging in size from 1,018 square metres (10,961 sq. ft.) to 2,185 square metres (25,523 sq. ft.) and one (1) fee simple lot that is 17.93 acres in size (within the Agricultural Land Reserve).

The application was originally considered by Council on October 25, 2006; a Public Hearing was held on January 29, 2007 and the bylaws received third reading on May 7, 2007.

The purpose of holding a second Public Hearing is to amend the requirements prior to Council consideration of adoption of the zone amending bylaw. Specifically, the applicant is seeking Council approval to enter into a Development Agreement with the District to secure off-site servicing requirements to obtain zoning approval.

Copies of the proposed bylaws and reports relevant to these bylaws may be inspected at the Municipal Hall, 8645 Stave Lake Street, Mission, BC, Monday to Friday, excluding statutory holidays, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and at the Mission Library, 33247 2nd Avenue, during regular opening hours, from March 8, 2012 to March 19, 2012. The information is also available on our website at www.mission.ca by searching “upcoming public hearing”. For further information regarding any of these bylaws, please contact the Planning Department at (604) 820-3748.

At the Public Hearing, persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by these proposed bylaws will have the opportunity to be heard. If you are unable to attend, you may send a written submission, including your name and address, to the attention of Paul Gipps, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer or email [email protected] by 4:00 p.m. on the date of the Public Hearing. All submissions will form part of the record of the Hearing.

Please note that no further information or submissions can be considered by Council after the conclusion of the Public Hearing.

Immediately following the Public Hearing portion of the meeting, council may consider moving bylaws forward for additional readings.

Th e Mission Association for Seniors Housing(MASH) has a new project on the go. Aft ersuccessfully developing and operating Th eCedars, MASH is now developing Cedar Valley Manor, a life lease for independent seniors.

Cedar Valley Manor has been purposely designed for seniors in Mission who want todownsize but who are also looking for a warmand supportive community where life is simple.

As Judith Ray, the President of MASH says:“Residents can live maintenance free at CedarValley Manor. Here they will be able to carry on living in the community they love withouthaving to worry about the yard, snow removal,and the upkeep of their house. And as a LifeLease,” she continues “Mission seniors will havetheir fi nancial interests secured and looked aft eras well.”

Many people have been wondering about the“Life Lease” model used at Cedar Valley Manor,and as explained by Kate Mancer, Director of Cedar Valley Manor: “Life Lease is a form of tenure perfectly suited to seniors. It allows them

to securely use the equity built up aft er yearsof home ownership and provides a wonderfulsense of community.”

In a Life Lease the resident pays an upfront cost,or “entrance fee,” which is used to pay for theconstruction of the building, plus a monthly fee which includes general building upkeepand replacement reserves. Taxes are extra butlife lease residents qualify for the HomeownerGrant. When people move out, they get 95%of their money back— with no worries aboutthe real estate market and estate planning is sosimple.

Life lease residents don’t have to worry aboutmanagement concerns, or being part of astrata council—all of that is looked aft erby a trusted community-based non-profi torganization. Residents know their interestsare being looked aft er by a group whose solepurpose is to provide good quality aff ordablehousing for the seniors of Mission. Th e MASHmission statement sums it all up perfectly:“Caring for Th ose Who Cared for Us.”

Cedar Valley Manor is selling quickly and it is

easy to see why.

Great Selection

While our relationship with the river has shifted to the annual freshet fl ood

watch and salmon count, we need to return to utilizing the river in a manner that is built on our economic sustainability.

Since the 1800s, locals have diked the Fraser to harness its fl ow and develop local agriculture. This fertile area now produces more than 62 per cent of the gross farm receipts in B.C. in only 1.6 per cent of the province’s ALR lands. Initially, the Fraser was utilized to move these perishables along with logs and other resources to the growing market and port in Vancouver.

Historically, the federal government found value in maintaining the river as an asset through Public Works Canada. In 1998, the federal and provincial governments stepped away from the maintenance of the river and downloaded responsibility to the municipalities and ill-funded diking authorities for maintenance of the fl ood protection systems; however, they maintained authority over allowing any work to be done. The outcome is a series of bureaucratic processes that take more than two

years to complete and if approval is given, windows of work are usually limited to time during freshet when the river is unworkable. Often these works are limited to small areas with little impact on the whole system.

In a quantitative fl ood risk assessment for the City of Chilliwack, damage and loss fi gures from a dike-breach scenario would exceed $1 billion. What would be the cost to Mission if fl ood levels like 1948 occurred again? Impact of that event would affect the industrial parks and shopping areas as well as disrupting transportation routes to the south, east and west. Not only would our employment base be affected but access for those 80 per cent who work outside Mission would also be impacted.

Due to siltation and lack of maintenance of a main navigation channel on the Fraser, resources that historically have been moved

to market via the river now must be trucked through Mission. One log boom is equivalent to 50-80 logging trucks. As the river has become impassable for six to eight months of the year east of Mission for items of more than four feet under water, the number of trucks is growing to a record 360 per day through our struggling downtown. Environmentally, the greenhouse gas impact of one tug on the Fraser is less than fi ve trucks.

Lack of river maintenance is also impacting softer industries like tourism. Both fi shing charters and tour boat operators are not able to traverse the shallow waters which can be as low as 15” in some areas. Tourism brings an estimated $1 of every $6 spent in Mission and over $94 million in direct angler

expenditures occurs in the Lower Mainland.

Looking forward, without a navigable Fraser, Mission’s opportunity to leverage industrial river access in a shrinking market and growth towards short-sea shipping opportunities will be negligible. As the Asia Gateway blossoms, Mission has a unique opportunity to be a hub of rail, road and river to grow our economic base.

The Fraser is a comprehensive system. The piecemeal approach that has existed since 1998 is not working. That is why the Mission Chamber is asking the federal and provincial governments to work with local government and First Nations to develop a comprehensive

management plan for the Fraser River that balances economic, environment and public safety of the present system; that the process for work to be done on the river be simplifi ed and that a central authority be created, not unlike the St. Lawrence. This authority would be responsible for the planning and maintenance of the Fraser.

The Fraser is the backbone of the province, the mouth of the Asia Gateway and a competitive economic edge for Mission. Managing it is a key to our sustainable development.

Network with 8 cities under 1 roof

Welcome to our new newsletter, the Business Track.The Mission Chamber has been producing a newsletter for its members

since the 1990s, however, it has always been distributed to businesses.

As our membership has grown and evolved, we recognize that we speak to issues that impact all levels of the community and would like everyone to know and understand the work the Chamber of Commerce is doing in the region. We appreciate the partnership with The Mission Record and Black Press for providing this avenue to communicate.

Since 1893, the Mission Chamber, or Board of Trade as it was called then, has promoted economic and regional development. Whether it was the historic land giveaway to encourage business to come to town, or the current lobbying for mobile business licensing that allows our businesses to grow in the Fraser Valley, the Chamber is always advocating for the economic well-being.

In this newsletter you will fi nd information on areas of business interest, our upcoming events and businesses that are thriving in our community. While we understand you may not always agree with our position or an article, we encourage you to view this as an opening for a discussion. Please feel free to respond to any our articles via e-mail to [email protected] or by fax at 604-826-5916. Enjoy your read!

Annual General Meeting March 15th

Starting at noon in the Chapel Room of the Mission Best Western, President Cal Crawford will review the recent member survey and Vice

President Elyssa Lockhart will report on the many Chamber advocacy successes of the past year. In addition to a review of the fi nancials, members will be asked to approve a revision of the following bylaw:

Article V Offi cers and BoardSection 16A: (2011 bylaws)

i) The Board of the Chamber be comprised of twelve (12) elected voting Members each of whom are in good standing, together with three one representative each non-voting liaisons to be appointed by the District of Mission, the Downtown Business Association and Community Futures Development Corporation of North Fraser; for a total of fi fteen (15) voting Directors;

Presently the Chamber has three liaisons on the Board of Directors with full voting powers though they are not elected by the membership. The revised bylaw while still encouraging the partnerships and collaboration of these organizations, limits their ability to infl uence the decision making of the Board of Directors. This is not an uncommon practice and avoids invariable confl ict of interest that could occur.

Following that will be the election of three new directors and offi cers of the Board. Nominees for the vacant director positions that have come forward from the membership are:

• Vicki Gould, Canadian Tire

Choosing Mission to open her Canadian Tire associate store in 2003, Vicki fi rst contacted then Chamber President Cal Crawford. She credits him for convincing her that Mission would offer her a great platform for her new store. Vicki serves as chairperson for the Junction Mall Merchants Association (“JMMA”) where she is responsible for chairing monthly meetings and assisting with the planning of Mall events. Vicki is also a Director for the Mission Granite Curling Club, currently responsible for all aspects of Social Media. Vicki holds a Masters of Business Administration through the Simon Fraser University “Executive MBA” program.

• Trevor Girard, Future Right Insurance Services

Trevor has served on the Chamber Membership Committee for the past 2 years as an avid contributor. Owner of FutureRight Insurance Services Canada, he is an insurance broker and entrepreneur. In the fi nancial industry for more than 6 years he specializes in various insurance and investment strategies. Since moving to Mission in 2009, Trevor has enjoyed attending many community events and getting to know the city. With a strong desire to give back to and serve he believes it would be a great honour and a privilege to serve in the position of director.

• Pam Alexis, CAF Systems Association

Pam worked at the Clarke Theatre from 1996 to 2001 and then started a small company helping the community in producing events. She is a noted community volunteer and has sat in various capacities on many community boards. She chairs the District of Mission Cultural Resources Commission and has also served six years as a School Trustee for Mission Public Schools. A proud Rotarian for over 10 years and she served as its president in 2010. Presently Pam sits on the Chamber’s Tourism Committee and Building Community Leadership Project Team.

Nominations can also be made from the fl oor in keeping with Article VI Section 37 iv of the Chamber’s Bylaws.

The Executive positions of the Board include President, Vice-President and Treasurer. The slate to be presented by the Board of Directors includes: Elyssa Lockhart, Lockhart Law Corp. for President, Sean Melia, Prospera Credit Union for Vice-President and Tony Lapointe, Mission Community Services for Treasurer (second term).

And then there were two playsEight strangers are

lured to a mysterious island where each one becomes a suspect in a murder most foul.

Opening Nite Theatre presents the classic pro-duction of Agatha Chris-tie’s And Then There None opening March 9.

This is one of the most popular of Agatha Chris-tie’s murder mysteries. After the strangers ar-rive, they are told that their host and hostess are currently away and the guests are shifted into their rooms.

They soon become stuck on the island with no way out as the weath-er prevents boats from landing. Tragedies begin

to occur and one by one they are murdered.

As there is no one else on the island, they come to the conclusion that the killer must be one of them. But who?

The play runs March 9-11, 16-18, and 23-25. Evening performances take place at 8 p.m while Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. Tickets are $12 from Murdoch’s Book-shoppe on First Avenue or at the door.

If you are an art lover, buy a ticket for the March 10 performance, as emerging Mission art-ist Joy will host an art re-ception from 6-7:30 p.m. prior to the performance.

Joy employs an eclec-

tic combination of ab-stract and realism. From the giant lotus flowers to photo realistic frogs, Goddess’ and mermaids hitch a painterly ride on color and form and stand as an allegory for change, transformation, and the nature of Becoming.

A collection of her works will be exhibited throughout the run of And Then There Were None.

Arts Club puts on season finale produc-tion at Clarke Theatre

Vancouver’s travelling

Arts Club theatre will be performing Circle Mir-ror Transformation at the Clarke Theatre for one night only on March 15.

In the small town of Shirley, Vermont, an unlikely collection of strangers sign up for a creative drama class where the seemingly silly games result in real-life drama.

Playing one-night only. Tickets are $42 for adults, $39 for students/seniors. Visit www.van-couvertix.com or call the Clarke Theatre office at 604-820-3961.

Fifth annual writers and readers festival happens this Sunday

The University of the Fraser Valley’s writer-in-residence, Anosh Irani, will be the keynote speak-er at the fifth annual Mis-sion Writers and Readers Festival this Saturday at Heritage Park Centre.

This successful ongo-ing community event will feature readings by estab-

lished writers, participato-ry workshops, and a speed networking session with local writers and editors.

This year, the emphasis will be “how to get pub-lished,” and two of the workshops will focus on this area.

The morning workshops will be “From Scene to

Plot” with UFV creative writing instructor Rajneesh Dhawan, whose own play received a staged reading at Abbotsford’s Reach Gallery last year, and “Publishing: Connecting with the Invisible World,” with long-time writer and editor Marion Quednau.

The afternoon work-

shops will be “Basic Chap-book Design and Market-ing” with Steve Duncan, and “Writing Poetry” with Billeh Nickerson.

Speednetworkers will include local writer and translator John Herl; Rhett Nicholson, publisher of the local Optimix maga-zine for teens; Sharon Syrette, local Mission historian; Ken Herar, cul-tural columnist for the Ab-botsford Times; and Steve Duncan. Participants will circulate for five minute conversations with these experts, who can talk about writing, publishing and research.

The event is co-spon-sored by the UFV English Department and the Fraser Valley Regional Library, and organized by the Mis-sion Lifetime Learning Centre. Vancouver poet Billeh Nickerson will also present a poetry reading.

Registration is $10 for students, $30 for general admission, and lunch can be purchased for $7. Pre-registration is encouraged, especially for Steve Dun-can’s workshop.

You can pre-register at the Lifetime Learn-ing Centre by calling 604-820-0220 or visiting www.lifetimelearningcen-tre.org. On-site registra-tion will open at 9:30 a.m. on March 10.

UFV looks for award nominees

Do you know an indi-vidual or a group who has made the Fraser Valley a better place to live? Those people who make every-day contributions to their community but may not be recognized?

Consider nominat-ing them for the Betty Urquhart annual commu-nity service award.

Betty Urquhart was one of the first employees of Fraser Valley College (now UFV) and believed strongly in the values vol-unteering and giving back to the community.

While Betty passed away in 1995, UFV keeps her memory alive by hon-ouring a person or group who exemplifies her com-mitment to life-long learn-ing and community.

Past winners include Mission resident Tara Scheirer for her work or-ganizing a temporary cold weather homeless shelter.

If you’d like to nomi-nate someone download a form at www.ufv.ca or contact Lori Ann Waites at 1-888-504-7441 (local 4521) or by e-mail at [email protected]. The deadline is March 16.

WITHROWDonald William

Passed away on February 17, 2012 after a short illness. He was predeceased by his mother Marion Pinsent and his father Isaac Withrow. Raised and educated in Mission, he had fond memories of the rural life on Cherry Avenue in the 30’s and 40’s. After graduating from U.B.C., Don travelled in Europe and pursued an acting career in London, eventually returning in 1964 to teach French and drama at Mission Senior Secondary. In his retirement in 1984, he enjoyed reading widely, raising his dog Bear, and entertaining his friends. We remember Don’s wealth of knowledge, his curiosity, his wry sense of his humour and his generosity, and we are grateful for his friendship. A special thanks to the staffs of Maple Ridge Hospital and Christine Morrison Hospice for their professionalism and compassion. At the request of the deceased, there will be no service.

WWW.RUNFORWATER.CAABBOTSFORD’S 5TH ANNUAL PREMIER RUNNING EVENT

A COMMUNITY EVENTWITH A GLOBAL CAUSE

WHO? MEL DICK, age 48, Abbotsford ambulance paramedic, father of Rachel and Tim, husband of Monika.

WHAT? I am running the 55K Ultra Marathon on Discovery Trail with Ray Zahab because I like the idea of just running at a pace for a very long time. I started running seriously in 2009, and have run 10Ks, some half marathons and a full marathon, so this seems like the next logical challenge for me as a runner.

WHY? When I am by myself and running I usually pray. I remember kids in Africa who need to walk for miles to get water; they inspire me to run. They need clean, accessible water so that they can go to school and grow up healthy. They need people like us to help them, so that they can live. I run past one pasture quite regularly. Much as I like steak, milk and cheese, I hate the smell of cows. When it rains, the stuff from the pasture fl ows onto the street, and it stinks. Yet kids in Africa are often stuck with water from sources that have cattle drinking from them and polluting the water. I run because it is the least I can do for these kids.

Fast Fact #1:

$35 gives a

person clean

water for

life.
