Bring- ing together related businesses creates a peer support structure where businesses can share experience and wisdom. The innovation encouraged in sector focused groups can help participating companies improve performance with far less risk than if companies are left to grow their business in isolation. Initiating a cluster strategy starts with the simple process of bringing all local play- ers together, and letting them define their needs. In Mission this is the motivation behind the formation of a small group, originally starting as the Mission Manufac- turers Association, but now evolving to include manufacturers, technol- ogy professionals, IT companies, and other value creators — com- panies located in the Mission area but selling to markets beyond local consumers. This group held its first meeting in October, and has scheduled the next meeting for Nov. 15. The group is a work in prog- ress, and the November meeting will give partici- pants the opportunity to set priorities and define the key challenges to their business. The expanded um- brella of companies invited to join the group will attract more par- ticipants, for more ideas, and more shared knowl- edge. Membership to the group is open to any Mission company that is a technology or manu- facturing business, and is free. The group will set its own priorities to im- prove the business envi- ronment, but one of the key benefits of a group like this is peer mentor- ing, with companies sharing their positive and negative experi- ences. At the first meeting, areas identified as chal- lenging included human resources, finding local contractors and support services, and a general sense of isolation work- ing in a small communi- ty at the fringe of the re- gional business core. On the positive side Mission has affordable industrial land, and good access to transportation. The first meeting also brought out a few stories of how effective peer support can be — by simply asking the question to other local businesses, answers can come from unexpected sources. The key to growth for many of the companies in this sector is not just more sales — it is also innovation and how to improve products and processes. The technology and manufacturing sector is a vital part of the local community, but it is a sector that has only shown modest growth in Mission over the last 10 years. The growth of manufacturing and technology sectors and the related technical and support services is important for the growth and health of our community. Not only do these companies create good jobs, they sell products to outside markets, which brings money into the local economy. Strengthening this sector is good busi- ness for everybody. The Nov. 15 meeting is from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Mission Chamber of Commerce Boardroom, 34033 Lougheed Hwy. This meeting is intended to build some structure and refine the group’s mandate using a round- table format to encour- age participation. Come out and see what this group can do for you.

BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press B.C. pot reform advocates are cele- brating Washington State’s historic vote Tuesday to legalize and tax marijuana, saying it adds momentum to their cam- paign for change here. Initiative 502 passed with 55 per cent of voters in favour, making Washington the first U.S. state to legalize posses- sion of up to an ounce of marijuana by adults. It’s still unclear if the U.S. federal government will allow the state to li- cense marijuana production and tax its sale in authorized stores. But observers here say the implica- tions are huge for both the existing B.C. bud industry and the intensifying debate on drug policy reform. “American voters are now ahead of Canadian governments on the cannabis file,” said former B.C. Attorney Gener- al Geoff Plant, a high-profile reformer with the Stop the Violence coalition. “It helps advance the argument for legal- ization here in B.C.” Rob Gordon, director of SFU’s school of criminology, says it could spur more legalization drives if “the sky doesn’t fall” in Washington and the state starts reaping a windfall of weed revenue. “The dominoes could start toppling,” he said. Washington estimates it would collect $560 million in the first year from a planned 25 per cent tax on pot. If pot possession and sales are al- lowed in Washington State, Gordon expects a partial collapse of B.C.’s estimated $7-billion-a-year illegal pot industry as growers relocate their op- erations south of the border to avoid the need to smuggle. “It’s a huge step forward,” said B.C. marijuana activist Dana Larsen, who heads a drive to force a provincial ref- erendum on decriminalization.

Nov. 12/12

BY MONIQUE TAMMINGABlack Press

At 11 years old, Mat-thew Hanna is a true Ca-nadian Picker, spending each weekend digging through other people’s unwanted goods and find-ing treasure.

The “A” student and hockey goalie from Mis-sion spent every Saturday with his grandfather Bill, who was his best friend. They went to garage sales and picked out things that could be worth money or would be neat to keep, he explained.

But then his grand-father passed away 18 months ago. It was a devastating blow for Matthew. In an effort to keep their Saturday tradi-tion alive, Matthew’s dad picked up where his own dad left off.

The pair went to garage sales together, but also decided to up the ante a bit by going to the auction at Big Valley in Alder-grove every Wednesday.

Fast forward to July, 2012. Matthew found a seascape oil painting he liked the look of at Big Valley. He wrote it down and went home to research it. The painting was called Harbouring Great Memories by artist Reet Herder.

“Matthew came to me and said “Dad, the paint-ing is stolen. Let’s buy it and return it to the right-

ful owner,” said Steve.It wasn’t going cheap.

By the end of the auction, Matthew had purchased the painting with $70 of his own money. The painting came from a bai-liff seized storage locker.

The auctioneer and owner of Big Valley got word that evening of what Matthew had done and thought it was so spe-cial, he cut the price of

the painting in half for him.

“He believes in doing the right thing,” said his dad. “For him, it’s about returning it home.”

As it is a small world on the World Wide Web, Matthew found all of Herder’s information. The next thing the Lang-ley artist knew, she re-ceived a phone call from this young man, explain-

ing that he had her stolen painting.

Facilitated through the Langley RCMP, Herder met Matthew on Friday and her oil painting was returned.

The pair shared hugs and Herder was so pleased with Matthew’s efforts, she is giving him a giclee (digital print) of the painting he likes so much.

In August 2005, Herd-er’s painting along with 16 other paintings were stolen from the Fort Langley caboose, where exhibits are often on dis-play.

“I came in on the Sun-day morning to the ca-boose and saw that the door was open and there was paintings and other items on the floor,” said

Herder. Herder called police

and they investigated. The local papers did a story. Herder posted her stolen artwork on Myart-club.com.

But nothing turned up until she received a phone call from Hanna. She ac-tually had four paintings taken that day.

This is the first to be

returned to her.Matthew told Herder

he is now going to be on the lookout for the remaining three.

Langley RCMP Const. Craig van Herk said he is very impressed with Matthew.

“At this young of an age to want and know to do the right thing is very impressive.”

The Mission Record Thursday, November 8, 2012 3

BY CAROL AUNMission Record

Council was encouraged to con-duct its own analysis and con-sider hiring more firefighters by a couple members of the public who listened to a presentation on the proposed budget.

Mayor Ted Adlem said that will definitely not happen in 2013, which “disheartened” former councillor Paul Horn, who along with firefighter Norm MacLeod brought up the issue.

The previous council which sup-ported the plan had put a lot of work and research into it, but it has since been continuously deferred because of funding, said Horn.

“Last year’s zero per cent and this year’s 1.49 per cent (tax in-crease) is admirable,” said Horn, but noted the number is simply holding the line for services, while the rest of the community is grow-ing.

Adding another eight full-time firefighters will improve safety in the community, said MacLeod.

Other people that spoke at the

budget input session asked about Mission’s forestry operations and whether or not the district would consider lowering user fees for seniors for parks and recreation.

CUPE local 1267 president and district employee Donna Lee Lakes noted the proposed 1.49 per cent increase to property taxes was not just to pay for CUPE wage increases, but also many other things across the board, such as RCMP contract and integrated teams, West Coast Express, eco-nomic development office, transit, snow removal, hydro rate increase and web streaming for council meetings.

“There is no one single area in the district’s operations solely re-sponsible for next year’s proposed tax increase,” said Lake, who criti-cized council for attributing the increase to “cover CUPE union contract increases.”

“We are disappointed you would use the CUPE wage agreement as an example as to why a tax increase is needed when it’s ap-parent a tax increase is necessary to maintain and fund a number of

district services.”She suggested council clarify

their position.According to the proposed bud-

get, wages for CUPE employees are only the second highest ex-penditure uptick at $396,045. The largest increase of $458,000 is going to the RCMP contract and integrated teams.

Mission’s deputy treasurer/collec-tor Kerri Onken presented the budget to the public, which offered a 1.49 per cent increase to property taxes, plus a two per cent utilities hike.

The Fraser Valley Regional Li-brary board is also proposing a 4.98 per cent tax increase, but council wants the board to review the number and come up with something lower, said Onken.

It is estimated the impact on the average assessed home in Mission ($391,000) will be $51.31.

The full budget report is avail-able on the district’s website mis-sion.ca. The public is asked to provide feedback on the document by Nov. 16.

Council is expected to discuss the budget at its Nov. 19 meeting.

4 The Mission Record Thursday, November 8, 2012

BY CAROL AUNMission Record

Mission taxpayers will be footing the legal bill for Coun. Jenny Stevens when police seized her com-puter last year as part of an investigation into leaked confidential council information.

Coun. Larry Nundal initiated the move and asked his council to support it Monday night. There was little discussion and the motion received unanimous approval. Stevens left council chambers during this discussion and did not participate in the vote.

“Council should indemnify Coun. Stevens in re-spect to her legal costs associated to legal advice she sought in reaction to an RCMP investigation in 2011 in the amount of $2,000 from the legal reserve ac-count,” said Nundal.

Coun. Dave Hensman added what happened to Ste-vens was “inappropriate” and the community should “exonerate” her and thank her for her service to the community.

Stevens, who had heard everything from the speak-ers in the lobby, was grateful for the relief.

“Thank you all enormously,” she said when she returned to the council table. “It’s not something I looked to ever happen.”

Police seized Stevens’ and former councillor Ron Taylor’s computers in May 2011 as they investigated an alleged breach of trust and alleged breach of the Community Charter. The machines were eventually returned and no charges were laid.

Council pushes to keep medicinal grows out of industrial zones

Mission is stepping up its enforcement to keep medicinal marijuana grow operations out of the in-dustrial and commercial areas.

Council passed a motion directing staff to take the necessary steps to enforce the bylaw, which prohibits agricultural use in industrial and commercial zoned lands, including “commencing any civil proceedings, if necessary.”

The only councillor opposed to the move was Coun. Nelson Tilbury, who explained if the district shuts these operations down, they will end up moving to places like residential neighbourhoods.

“While in commercial areas, at least, in there, they’re in a fireproof, strong building; they have water and power … they’re not hiding on my street,” he said.

“Employment lands are just that — lands we preserve to provide jobs,” offered Coun. Jenny Ste-vens, noting there aren’t many jobs generated from even legal marijuana grow operations. “They’re not allowed in commercial areas. We’re not changing anything.”

There are 384 licensed marijuana grow operations in Mission, but only two have come forward to apply for the proper permits, said Mayor Ted Adlem. “My understanding is we may have upwards of 15 in in-dustrial and commercial.”

If we don’t do anything in Mission, entire industrial parks will be taken over by these licensed growers, added Coun. Larry Nundal.

This will send a clear message that we support the efforts of our staff and RCMP, said Coun. Dave Hensman.

Mission residents honoured with medals

BY CAROL AUNMission Record

Four Mission residents received the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee med-als Monday night at a ceremony inside council chambers.

The awards were given out by MLAs Randy Hawes and Marc Dal-ton, who had persuaded the recipi-ents to attend the night’s meeting without knowing why.

The medals were presented to Ron Leger, Rex Blane, Steve Sharpe, and Valerie Hundert.

Leger is a soft-spoken individual who has a lot of energy and has con-tributed to Mission in many ways. His most recent project is the St. Joseph Food Bank.

Blane, an Abbotsford resident, was a long-time member of Mis-sion and has not forgotten his roots here, said Hawes. Blane contrib-utes physically and financially to many Mission projects, such as the rain garden on Seventh Avenue and Grand Street, and Fraser House, a non-profit society, which offers sub-stance abuse counselling, support, and prevention.

“Fraser House is a long-stand-ing pillar in this community,” said Hawes, adding, “something like Fraser House doesn’t run without a board of directors.”

Sharpe has been president of the society for 22 years, and also gives to many local charities. He has also been a hockey coach for 15 years.

Hundert is a tireless volunteer, who has contributed to projects like Fraser River Heritage Park and Path and Pathfinders.

Hawes, who was mayor when Hun-dert and her family moved to Mission, said, “The mould has been broken. There are no more Val Hunderts.”

Another longtime volunteer, Barb Fehrmann, also earned the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal, but was not there to receive it.

Eleven Mission residents were also presented with Queen’s Dia-mond Jubilee medals by MP Randy Kamp at Cedarbrooke Chateau on Nov. 3.

Dr. Marco Terwiel, Claire Clemo, Amanda Peebles, Leslie Reed, Sgt. Bob Reed, Dave Bryant, Don Lobb, Cal Crawford, Ken Herar, Sherry Edmunds-Flett, and Vir Singh Pannu were recognized for their service to the Mission.

For more than 40 years, Terwiel has been a well-respected family physician who is always willing to go above and beyond the call. He has continued to give back to the medical community by conducting seminars for medical students at UBC and has been involved with

Rotary events all with a goal of cre-ating a better world for others.

Clemo’s dedication and commit-ment to teaching made her one of Mission’s most revered teachers. Since retiring from teaching in 1996, she has remained active in the com-munity volunteering her time and energy always in the theme of giving back and life-long learning.

Peebles was born with a develop-mental disability, and through deter-mination and help from her family, has overcome these challenges. She studied at UFV and now volunteers in many organizations, including Salvation Army, Wheels on Meals, food bank, Pleasant View, and Big Brothers and Big Sisters.

Leslie Reed is a dedicated com-munity volunteer, coordinating more than 200 barbecues to raise money for charity. She is a director with Mission Hospice Society, serves on

school PACs and has helped raise money for cancer research.

Bob Reed has been a member of Mission Kinsmen for 11 years and director and president of the Marlins swim club for 12. He is involved in various PACs, is a founding member for the Ride for Dad Prostate Cancer Research and Ride to Live Prostate Cancer Research.

Bryant is currently the president of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 57 and he continues to be involved in a wide variety of community ser-vices in Mission including Canada Day celebrations and Remembrance Day services.

Lobb has served as the president of the Mission Association for Seniors Housing and through his efforts with this association, Lobb has helped provide affordable housing options for seniors in the community.

Crawford contributes to the com-

munity in many ways. Crawford has served as president for Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce, Kinsmen Club, and Mid-day Ro-tary Club of which he is a founding member.

Herar steaks publicly about diver-sity and champions multicultural-ism. He founded Cycling 4Diversity, a four-day event from Mission to Victoria which promotes diversity.

Edmunds-Flett and her husband founded Long Term Inmates Now in the Community (LINC) which seeks to positively intervene in the lives of persons sentenced to lengthy terms of incarceration and in the lives of their families. She has successfully promoted her philosophy of restor-ative justice by helping offenders reintegrate into their communities to become positive contributors.

Pannu works in various capacities as a preacher and has been involved in counseling cases of domestic issues. Many families have been touched by his gentle and nurturing nature.

“All of the recipients have stood out … as great examples of dedi-cation and service to others. By their consistent commitment to the community, these recipients have made their community a better place to live,” said a press release from Kamp’s office.

Five members from the Mission RCMP detachment were also award-ed the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal for their service to the com-munity at a ceremony on Oct. 16 at RCMP E Division Headquarters.

The recipients were Insp. Richard Konarski; Rogine Battel, municipal employee; Auxiliary Const. and mu-nicipal employee Bob Blumenauer; Auxiliary Const. Roy Hafeli and Margie Laue, manager of RCMP administration.

Additionally, three other Mission Legion Branch 57 members received the medals: Monty Marsden, Ste-phen Brown and Barb Clease.

The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal is a commemorative medal created to mark the celebration of the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the throne as Queen of Canada. The medal is a way for Canada to honour Her Majesty for her service to this country and at the same time, serves to honour significant contributions and achievements by Canadians.

Clockwise from top: Eleven Mission residents were awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal by MP Randy Kamp this past weekend at Cedarbrooke Chateau. Steve Sharpe is honoured with the award from MLAs Marc Dalton, Randy Hawes, and Mayor Ted Adlem. Hawes congratulates Valerie Hundert as she walks up to receive her award. Ron Leger is all smiles. Rex Blane surprised with the awards.

6 The Mission Record Thursday, November 8, 2012

Two very different scenes unfolded at op-posite ends of the prov-

ince last week.In the remote northwest

corner of B.C., the first power line towers started going up to connect Highway 37 com-munities to the BC Hydro grid. The Nisga’a, Tahltan and other aboriginal commu-nities will soon have reliable power, as well as much-need-ed training and jobs during clearing and construction.

Meanwhile down on the Gulf Islands, the most hys-terical, dishonest campaign against smart meters I’ve heard of so far went into high gear.

I’ve obtained a mass e-mail from the head anti-smart meter organizer on Salt Spring Island that shows the mentality at work here. (Corix is the BC Hydro con-tractor that has installed more than a million meters and has approached the Gulf Islands with trepidation, the last area of B.C. to be done.)

“Corix is attacking with 30 trucks on Mon the 22nd,” Chris Anderson wrote in October. “Poelpe [sic] are advised NOT to attend the Victoria pipeline rally but

instead help defend agianst [sic] spymeter installations in their neighbourhoods.”

Anderson’s self-appointed supporters fanned out across the island, attempting to turn away installers on the false assumption that everyone has fallen for their crackpot fear campaign. They managed to stop 12 per cent of the instal-lations.

Coincidentally, Anderson has been doing a brisk busi-ness selling $35 meter locks to gull-ible Salt Spring Islanders in recent months. They don’t work, and you’re not allowed to lock BC Hydro prop-erty anyway. Oth-ers have been sold official-looking “no smart meter” signs that don’t identify the customer, so they don’t work either.

As for the term “spym-eter,” I’ve reported on the weird theories spread by Bill Vander Zalm in a video inter-view, where he claims smart meters are part of a global surveillance system that can even tell what you’re cook-

ing. Vander Zalm has been outdone by one Brian Thie-sen, who styles himself as the “chairman” of “Interior Smart Meter Awareness.”

In September, the Merritt Herald reported on Thiesen’s presentation to 20 unwary people in a church basement. He claimed wireless meters not only provide video sur-

veillance of your house, they are also responsible for “dying bees” and “defective sperm and eggs” as well as disease and fires.

Thiesen even claimed radiofre-quency signals can “pull your PIN number directly out of your head.” Is there no limit to the nonsense some people will fall for?

Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis co-authored a study that shows residential fires have decreased with the advent of smart meters. Which brings me to the ugli-est opposition to this modern-ization, the criminal element.

Here in North America’s marijuana mecca, install-ers have encountered many

meter bypasses, wired up to steal hydro and conceal high consumption for grow ops. In addition to being illegal, they are a fire hazard that is removed when discovered.

Installers also find more sophisticated cases of hydro theft. Removing the mechani-cal meter reveals a hole cut in the back of the case, so the dials can be turned back to hide a grow op’s power con-sumption. No wonder some people want to lock them down.

Of course all of this is de-feated by a smart grid system, so the growers and other crooks are angry.

A BC Hydro official told me about one case where a user was told he had a by-pass, and that it was being removed. His bill went from next to nothing to a reason-able level.

The customer complained to the media, falsely inflat-ing the amount of his bill and blaming an inaccurate smart meter.

Honour our veteransIn 2006, Parliament unanimously passed the New

Veterans Charter that changed the way injured sol-diers are compensated. Instead of a lifetime pension, indexed to inflation, veterans injured after that year, or who had their injury diagnosed since then, would get a lump sump settlement.

Veterans Affairs champions the new system as “a more complete approach to helping our men and women injured in the line of duty,” offering them “real hope.”

But some injured veterans, like Burnaby’s Kevin Berry, say otherwise.

They say Canadian soldiers injured in Afghanistan, and those suffering the lingering mental and emo-tional effects of their tour are getting substantially less support than they would have received with the former indexed pension. Many are having difficulty reintegrating into civilian life.

A study by Queen’s University last year concluded most disabled soldiers will receive only two-thirds the compensation under the New Veterans Charter than they would have received from the old Pension Act.

Recently Canada’s Auditor-General criticized the Canadian Forces and Veterans Affairs for their shod-dy treatment of injured veterans, saying the system to get them help is “complex, lengthy and challeng-ing to navigate.”

Even in death, the indignities continue. A program that is supposed to contribute just over $3,600 to the funeral costs for destitute ex-soldiers has rejected more than two-thirds of funding requests since 2006. Even when approved, that money is still less than some social services departments will pay towards the burial of the homeless.

It’s one thing for Canada’s politicians to honour our veterans.

It’s another to treat them with honour.—Burnaby NewsLeader

Here’s a real smart meter scam

Editor, The Record:Re: Taking responsi-

bility, Nov. 1 edition.In my opinion it is

letter-writer Robert T. Rock who is deceiving himself and failing to take responsibility for an approach – prohibition – that causes the very problems he refers to.

It doesn’t matter whether the drug is a good drug or a bad drug as long as there is a de-mand. There are then two policy options: prohibi-tion or regulation. Nei-ther is a panacea.

Prohibition drives the market underground so there is no control over the quality of the product or the money made, and participants in the market resort to violence to re-solve their disputes as they are precluded from using traditional peaceful means.

In a regulated mar-ket, the manufacturing and distribution of the drug are controlled by law and taxed and there are peaceful remedies for breaches between par-ticipants or the manufac-turer and the consumer.

Alcohol remains our number one drug and no one suggests a return to prohibition of alcohol. We learned that that at-tempted cure was worse than the disease. Tobacco is number two and we have been quite success-ful using education and civil bylaws to reduce harms instead of the blunt instrument of the criminal law that only makes things worse.

Regulate and tax and bring the supply and de-mand under control of law, instead of leaving it out of control, and a gift to organized crime.

The courts are faced with the actual evidence and details of the prob-lem on a daily basis, not a superficial armchair

view based solely on media reports or other anecdotes.

Mr. Rock should stick to writing about some-thing he knows, or at least do some current research before doing so (start with the 10-year old Senate Report byConservative Senator Nolin) so as not perpet-uate the deception that the policy of prohibition that has failed us for the last 100 years is now

going to work.The dealers are rub-

bing their hands with glee at the increased pric-es to the consumer that this week’s introduction of mandatory minimum sentences for growing more than six marijuana plants will bring.

Of course this di-verts the money to or-ganized crime tax-free, and leaves the legitimate taxpayers on the hook for increased costs of in-

vestigation by the police, processing by prosecu-tors and the courts, in-cluding defense counsel and ultimately prisons. The more you prohibit, the more business you create for the criminal justice system.

It is a stupid and very costly approach driven by emotional gut reac-tion without logic or rea-son.

8 The Mission Record Thursday, November 8, 2012

BY TOM FLETCHERBlack Press

B.C.’s 85 MLAs have begun disclosing their travel expenses, posting total amounts charged on their government-issued credit cards but not the details of where they

drove, flew or dined.The B.C. legislature’s

internal finances are being dragged into the 21st century in response to a damning report from Auditor General John Doyle released in July. The audit found that MLA credit card bills were being paid without receipts, and the legis-lative assembly hadn’t produced financial state-ments despite a 2007 rec-ommendation from the previous auditor general.

In response, the Legis-lative Assembly Manage-ment Committee, chaired by Speaker and Pentic-ton MLA Bill Barisoff, began holding its meet-ings in public. Two new

financial officers were hired to address what Doyle described as “per-vasive deficiencies” in financial accountability of legislature operations.

The management com-mittee authorized the first release Wednesday, showing six months of expenditures for each MLA up to the end of September. The report breaks spending down in categories, including accommodation, daily meal allowance and three categories of travel.

When it comes to meals, politicians get an allowance for any break-fast, lunch or dinners they have in restaurants outside their ridings.

That’s capped at $61 day, but receipts aren’t required.

MLA Marc Dalton, who represents Maple Ridge-Mission, spent $19,551 in that period. Maple Ridge-Mission is considered semi-urban and has a higher in-constituency travel al-lowance. That includes travel for the indepen-dent schools committee.

By comparison, Randy Hawes, (Abbotsford-Mission) spent almost $5,000 less than Dalton. Hawes’s total expenses rang in at $14,956.

The figures, however, didn’t show the details of where MLAs dined or stayed.

MLAs representing districts farthest from Victoria generally run up the highest expens-es. Leading the pack in the first report is Robin Austin, NDP MLA for Skeena, with $53,606 in expenses from April to September.

Austin’s total includes $19,486 in “Speaker ap-proved travel,” includ-ing a trip to Colombo, Sri Lanka in September to attend a Common-wealth Parliamentary Association conference. Speakers, deputy speak-ers and legislative clerks typically attend these conferences, aimed at strengthening parliamen-tary practices around the world.

Routine expenses in-clude the “capital city al-lowance,” for which most MLAs who live outside Greater Victoria claim $1,000 a month without receipts. With receipts, out-of-town MLAs can claim up to $19,000 a year for rent, mortgage or hotel accommodation while in Victoria on leg-islature business.

MLA expenses are to be posted quarterly from now on at www.leg.bc.ca/mla/remunera-tion/travel_expenses.htm where the first reports are posted.

Cabinet minister travel expenses are reported separately on the B.C. government’s “open gov-ernment” website initi-ated by Premier Christy Clark. They receive simi-lar accommodation and meal payments to other MLAs, but they are paid by their ministries and do not show up on the new disclosures.

MLAs post travel expense totals

10 The Mission Record Thursday, November 8, 2012

BY PHIL MELNYCHUKBlack Press

The federal government has the same hopes as the public and environmental groups for the Fraser River sockeye salmon.

It wants to see a “sustainable and prosperous salmon fishery for years to come,” said Randy Kamp, local MP and fisheries parliamentary secretary. And it wants “to work with stakehold-ers and partners, and review Justice Bruce Cohen’s findings and recom-mendations carefully.

Kamp gave the assurance following last Wednesday’s release of the final report of the Cohen Commission on the Fraser River sockeye.

In the report titled “The Uncertain Future of Fraser River Sockeye,” Cohen warns that further cuts to Fish-eries and Oceans Canada are dangerous to B.C.’s iconic salmon species and run counter to his key finding that more research is needed.

“The shrinking resources of govern-ment, which may result in delays in implementing reforms and research, mean that the stressors to which sock-eye are exposed and the deterioration of sockeye habitat will continue,” he said.

And he said the changes made this year to the Fisheries Act that removes much of habitat protection were “trou-bling.”

The report though found no single

cause — not fish farms, overfishing, pollution, natural predators or global warming — to the declining sockeye stocks which plunged in 2009, trigger-ing the formation of the report.

For Geoff Clayton with the Alouette River Management Society, the report was a vindication of the society’s po-sition. Cohen visited ARMS Rivers Heritage Centre prior at the start of the process.

“We’re feeling, generally speaking, exonerated by the Cohen Commis-sion,” Clayton said, particularly over their stance on fish farms and the Fish-eries Act changes.

The Cohen report says an immediate freeze on new net pen salmon farms should be enforced between northern Vancouver Island and the mainland.

Fisheries also should get out of the business of promoting aquaculture, which creates conflict of interest when the department is charged with saving wild salmon.

According to recent leaked docu-ments, federal cuts mean the fisheries protection branch would be slashed from 90 to 60 workers.

“A few years ago, they had 120, so we’re looking at a 50 per cent reduc-tion,” said Otto Langer, a former DFO biologist and habitat assessment man-ager. “You’re probably losing 33 per cent of your staff and probably 80 per cent of your experience.”

Flu shot clinics have started in Mis-sion, with the next happening Nov. 8.

While seniors are particularly vulner-able to the flu, every year otherwise healthy children also become seriously ill or even die because they didn’t get a flu shot, according to Fraser Health Authority (FHA).

Local residents are reminded that the flu shot is provided free of charge to those at highest risk of severe flu illness, as well as those who are close contacts or caregivers.

New this year, healthy children aged six months to less than five years of age, and household contacts and care-givers of children less than five years of age are eligible for the free vaccine.

Influenza is the leading cause of preventable death due to infectious disease in Canada, killing thousands of Canadians every year and hospitaliz-ing thousands more. Influenza spreads easily from person to person through coughing, sneezing, face-to-face con-tact and by touching surfaces.

Local clinics will happen as follows:• Nov. 8: North Fraser Fire Hall one

(8840 Rowan Rd.), 3 to 7 p.m.• Nov. 29: Mission Leisure Centre

(7650 Grand St.), 1 to 7 p.m. Nov. 1, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 29.

Bring your CareCard or other gov-ernment I.D. (valid driver’s license) to the clinic, and please wear a short sleeved shirt.

The annual Fraser Val-ley Bald Eagle Festival is coming up next week, with a live eagle release scheduled for Nov. 13 at Pretty Estates in Har-rison Mills.

The festival celebrates the beauty and biodiver-sity of the Harrison re-gion by honouring the bald eagle and the cycle of the salmon, and the main events happen Nov. 17-18.

Visitors can witness

the world’s largest gath-ering of bald eagles. The raptors are drawn to the area by the millions of spawning salmon that travel up the Fraser River to tributaries, such as the Harrison River. The estuary is also home to a plethora of wildlife, such as trumpeter swans, ducks, seals, bears, coy-otes, deer and the white sturgeon.

Although the festival began in 1995 and was one of the largest eagle gatherings at the time, the number of eagles concentrated in the area has grown further since early 2010.

“The Harrison region is part of the winter home-land for over 10,000 bald eagles — the world’s larg-est concentration of eagles ever witnessed as they forage, fight and feast on the record salmon runs in the Harrison River,” says David Hancock, Hancock Wildlife Foundation bald eagle biologist.

Starting Nov. 17, the public is invited to visit different venues in Har-rison Mills and surround-ing areas. Prime eagle watching sites have been set up and various ac-tivities have been orga-nized including jet boat eco-river tours, walk-ing tours, interpretative tours, environmental pre-sentations, displays by local artists and ancient Aboriginal sites.

To continue the festivi-ties, Tourism Harrison will host the Harrison Bald Eagle Weekend, Nov. 24-25. Highlights of the weekend include a photography workshop by expert photographer Graham Osborne, and a talk by Hancock. Boat tours down the Harrison River will also be avail-able to book.

For more information, visit fraservalleybaldea-glefestival.ca.

Annual Eagle Festival starts Nov. 13 at Pretty Estates

During the rainy fall and winter seasons, we remind everyone that falling leaves can block drainage systems, and cause flooding to homes and properties.

The simple fact is that November and December are usually very rainy months in Mission. Coincidentally, that’s when millions of leaves are falling off of our trees. It’s not a good combination, since one maple leaf can effectively

block a drainage grate from doing its job to get rid of the water before it enters your property. The same sort of thing can happen if you have a culvert under your driveway; a small branch falling from a tree can cover the front of the culvert, backing water up and onto your property.

The good news is that you can easily help yourself to prevent these flooding situations by keeping the

drainage grate free of leaves, or checking your culvert periodically. The simple act can literally prevent many thousands of dollars worth of damages to your home, damages for which you may not be insured.

Please take the time to pick up your leaves, and to monitor the drainage grate or culvert near your house. Both you and your whole neighbourhood will be safer because you did it.

Keep drain grates clearIt’s a fact: bears live in our

neighbourhoods. While we may enjoy the occasional glimpse from a safe distance, inviting bears into our backyards can create serious hazards, both for people and for bears. With a growing bear population and residential developments advancing further into bear habitat, it is everyone’s responsibility to make sure that bears and people stay at a safe distance from each other. Bears that have become habituated to human smells and garbage are a hazard and are often destroyed. Help them out by not luring them into close contact with humans.

To avoid unwanted encounters with bears, store your garbage in a bear-resistant garbage container in a secure building. Do not put out your garbage and compost materials until the morning of collection. Pick up

fallen fruit promptly and feed your pets indoors. Even bird feeders can attract a hungry bear, so remove them between April and November and stretch piano wire at least 3 metres off the ground to hang them in the winter.

Did you know that the smell of petroleum also attracts bears? Ensure that all rubber, tarpaper, paint, turpentine, kerosene and charcoal fluids are put away and keep barbeques clean. If you have a backyard composter, add only small amounts of fruit and vegetable scraps at a time and immediately mix them in with the compost. Sprinkling garden lime on compost speeds up the decomposition process and decreases odours. Never put dairy products, bread or meat in your backyard composter.

Mark your calendars!Christmas is less than seven

weeks away and the merchants at the Junction Shopping Mall are inviting everyone to kick off the season at its second annual Moon-light Madness on Friday, Nov. 16 from 7 to 11 p.m.

While the event is organized by the Junction Mall Business Asso-ciation, it is more than a night of shopping specials (and there will be lots) — it’s an occasion to cel-ebrate community, families, and love through the holidays.

Part of the parking lot near Ca-nadian Tire and Save On Foods will be closed to traffic to make way for Mission’s giant Christmas tree, which will be lit by the mayor at 7 p.m.

The 20-foot tree is coming from the municipal forest and will be decorated with bright, colourful lights, supplied by Canadian Tire.

Santa Claus will also be on loca-tion to help launch this year’s Mis-sion Community Service Christ-mas Bureau and the season of giving.

The Christmas Bureau office

will be at unit 308 at the Junction (between the dental office and Urban Planet). Come check it out, make a donation or offer to volunteer.

The office will be open and ac-cepting registrations from Nov. 19 to Dec. 7, Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Donations can be dropped off from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the same days.

Come early and stay late to take advantage of the specials at partic-ipating stores and enjoy the family friendly activities and contests.

Everyone wins a prize when they spin the roulette wheel and the Mission Elks will be there with its trailer and goodies and all donations received will go to the Christmas Bureau.

Other activities include:• Kids Zone, 7:15 to 8 p.m.• Ugly Christmas sweater or tie

contest, 8:30 to 9 p.m.• Mission Junction Idol singing

contest from 9 to 10:30 p.m. To participate in this event, you must register at Mr. Mike’s restaurant the week before. There will be trophies for the winners.

Check back here next week for more Moonlight Madness infor-mation.

Junction Shopping Mall Moonlight Madness sale happens next Friday

Mission Community Service Christmas Bureau’s Phil Hope will be at next Friday’s Moonlight Madness at the Junction as the annual campaign gets underway.

• Accessroadimprovements• Vegetationandtreeclearingalongtheright-of-way• Towerfoundationinstallation

Access to some recreational trails along the right-of-way may be restricted at times during the completion of this work.

The new 247 kilometre, 500 kilovolt transmission line, will mostly parallel an existing 500 kilovolt transmission line between the Nicola Substation near Merritt and the Meridian Substation on Westwood Plateau in Coquitlam. The ILM project is planned to be in-service by January 2015.

The ILM project will expand the capacity of the transmission system that brings power from generation sources in the North and Southern Interior so that BC Hydro can continue to deliver clean and reliable energy to homes and businesses in the Lower MainlandandVancouverIsland.

Fraser’s owners simply call him everybody’s friend.

The lovable basset hound-cross hasn’t had the easiest go of things in the past while, but retains his approachable and affectionate per-sonality, despite the fact he can barely walk any longer.

Ken and Gwen Ellerbeck’s 12-year-old dog was born in August 2000 at the Thunderhorse Ranch in Dewdney, and they have had him ever since.

On Feb. 6, 2011, Fraser was going out for his walk with Ken when the pooch found something intriguing on the ground and swal-lowed it. Whatever it was caused a stroke, and eventually rendered him unable to stand.

“It was devastating and it was so fast,” said Ken. “He was completely immobile.”

After a number of visits to veterinarians and

specialists, and a 12-day stay in a Vancouver pet hospital, little had changed.

The Ellerbecks took Fraser down to Mission Veterinary Clinic and Dr. Susan Calverly took on the challenge of helping the animal, working with him everyday on rehabilitation, bringing him to the point of being able to stand and walk a short distance. He was also eventually outfit-ted with leg braces.

“We can’t say enough, and thank Susan and her staff for taking care of Fraser and us so wonderfully well,” said Ken.

And while Fraser can’t walk very far, the Ellerbecks continue to take him on his regular walking route, except he gets to go for a ride in a wagon.

And he has a sled for the snowy days.A year and seven months later, Fraser is the

hit of the neighbourhood, said Ken.“We meet wonderful people along our walk

and everyone is interested in Fraser and gets to love him.”

Lovable dog still making daily rounds of the blocks

The Ellerbecks and their dog, Fraser. He is a regular sight along First Avenue, being towed in the wagon for his daily walks.

B.C. political leaders should stop pointing fin-gers at Ottawa and follow the lead of U.S. states on mar-ijuana legaliza-tion, Vancouver-Fraserview MLA Kash Heed says.

A former B.C. public safety min-ister and com-manding officer of the Vancouver Police drug and gang units, Heed spoke out as vot-ers in Washington, Oregon and Colo-rado prepared to vote Tuesday on initiatives to reg-ulate and tax the sale of marijuana for adults.

Heed said Pre-mier Christy Clark and NDP leader Adrian Dix have no difficulty speaking out about federally regulated in te rp rov inc ia l pipelines, but both defer to the fed-eral jurisdiction on marijuana law. Ac-tion is needed to address the gang violence that goes along with the marijuana trade, he said.

“There’s a lot of hypocrisy going around Victoria right now,” Heed said in an inter-view. “They’re speaking out of both sides of their mouths on differ-ent issues.”

The Mission Record Thursday, November 8, 2012 20

Three Vancouver fish-erman spent a cold night up Chehalis River, after realizing they couldn’t get themselves safely out of the bush.

Search and rescue vol-unteers, including some from Mission, spent many hours scrambling through dense brush and deep water channels Oct. 29 looking for the three men in the Cheha-lis River delta, said Kent Harrison SAR member Neil Brewer.

The fishermen had made a bad decision to cross a deep channel when the river was still rising, he said, but on the positive side they did everything else right.

Once the men realized they were in trouble they stayed put and called for help. They were well prepared, carrying light-ers, whistles and flares. They used a dry sock to start a fire, and built it up as best they could.

SAR members spent six hours in the bush ar-riving at a set of coordi-nates derived from one of the men’s cellphone, but to no avail. The coor-dinates had an error and were several hundred

metres out. As the night progressed, the fisher-men assumed search-ers had given up for the night and would return in the morning.

In the morning the fishermen decided to stay with the fire and wait. The day before one of them had stumbled a couple of times trying to cross one of the channels and realized it was too dangerous to try finding their own way out.

At first light, a heli-copter flew directly to the new coordinates and spotted the fishermen standing by their fire. The helicopter dropped two SAR members off near the fishermen, then went on to guide a Chilli-wack SAR jet boat up the Chehalis River channels until they reached a loca-tion where the fishermen could be brought out to meet the boat.

The three fishermen were warm, dry and happy to be out.

SAR volunteers from Kent Harrison, Chilli-wack, Central Fraser Val-ley (Abbotsford), Mis-sion and Ridge Meadows SAR participated in the search and rescue.

The event is free and will feature ac-tivities such as henna, diya painting (clay

candle holders), children’s crafts, Indian classical and folk dances, and food cooked by Mission Sikh Temple and Rotary Club volunteers. Donations of non-perishable food items or cash for the Mission Commu-nity Services Food Centre will accepted.

Three years after the B.C. government took over international tour-ism marketing to direct post-Olympic efforts, Premier Christy Clark has put the tourism in-dustry back in the driv-er’s seat.

Clark and Jobs, Tour-ism and Innovation Minister Pat Bell an-nounced the creation of a new Crown cor-poration Monday in Vancouver. They said Destination BC will be industry led and have formula funding from provincial taxpayers to advertise the province’s attractions outside the country.

Clark said she spoke out as a radio host against the government takeover when it was announced in 2009 by former tourism minis-ter Kevin Krueger. The Council of Tourism As-sociations expressed “grave concerns” at the time, when the indus-try-led Tourism BC was disbanded.

Bell said Destina-tion BC will have an increasing emphasis on marketing in Asia, especially China and India. It is to take over responsibility April 1, 2013, using currently budgeted funds for the first year. After that, the intention is to base the budget on a legislated percentage of annual sales revenue.

Clark and Bell took the first step to chang-ing tourism marketing in October 2011, with a $1.1 million campaign to promote B.C. ski re-sorts. Half the spending went to Ontario, and the rest was split between Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

B.C. has long targeted those markets, but ads focused on promoting the province generical-ly with “Super Natural B.C.” promotions that did not emphasize spe-cific attractions or ac-tivities.

NDP leader Adrian Dix tried to pre-empt the expected announce-ment last week, making his own promise that an NDP government would return control over tour-ism marketing to the in-dustry.

STORIES BY TOM FLETCHERBlack Press

Wearing a kilt representing the clan of a Scottish ancestor, Lieutenant Gov-ernor Steven Point ended his five-year term Thursday with a unique ceremony at the B.C. legislature.

In the ornate rotunda now deco-rated by his hand-carved dugout canoe, B.C.’s first aboriginal Queen’s repre-sentative joined a choir and band to perform an original song he dedicated to the people of B.C.

Premier Christy Clark presented Point and his wife Gwendolyn with

gifts, and Point was visibly moved when presented with a hand-crafted guitar made in Kamloops.

Clark recounted Point’s career, start-ing as a chief of his own First Na-tion, moved on to Grand Chief of the Sto:lo Tribal Council, earning two law degrees, becoming a provincial court

judge, and serving as chief commis-sioner of the B.C. Treaty Commission before accepting Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper’s invitation to serve as Lieutenant Governor.

Chilcotin rancher Judith Guichon was sworn in Friday as B.C.’s 29th Lieutenant Governor.

Mission’s new “jazz nightclub” at the Bel-levue Hotel was taken down almost as quickly

as it went up last week.The set, near First Av-

enue and Grand Street, was built for a movie called Horns, starring Daniel Radcliffe, who is best known for his work

in the Harry Potter series.Horns is being filmed

at various locations across the Lower Main-land from Squamish to Mission.

“We just started shoot-ing in Mission [last] week,” said Lee Anne Muldoon, publicist for the movie.

Crews were in Surrey and Fort Langley before coming to Mission.

We’re only filming a couple of days in each place, said Muldoon, add-ing the film crew will be back in Mission for an-other four days towards the end of November.

The movie is based on Joe Hill’s best-sell-ing novel by the same name, Horns. It is a su-pernatural thriller, driven by fantasy, mystery and romance, and explores why bad things happen to good people and what the loss of true love can do to a man.

Ig Perrish (Radcliffe) is the main suspect for the violent rape and murder of his girlfriend, Merrin (Juno Temple).

He wakes up one morn-ing with horns growing from his head and soon discovers they will drive people to confess their sins and give into their selfish and unspeakable impulses — the perfect tool to find out how his girlfriend died and who killed her.

Horns is directed by Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes), and co-produced by Red Granite Pictures and Mandalay Pictures. There is no release date for the movie yet.

ELEGIES AND EULOGIESAn elegy is a poem mourning the loss of someone. It comes from the Greek word “elegos,” meaning a mournful song, and is perhaps most associated with the feeling that someone is gone forever, never to be seen again. Nothing can describe the depth of mourning for someone who was loved deeply and is now no longer here. Perhaps the best modern example of an elegiac poem is W. H. Auden’s “Stop All the Clocks,” whose last stanza is as follows: The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood. For nothing now can ever come to any good. A eulogy, on the other hand, is a speech praising the goodness of the deceased, and comes from the Greek words “eu,” meaning good, and “logos” meaning word or speech. We are driven to eulogize elegiacally when we lose a loved one, feeling a special need to recall their good traits and painfully mourning their loss. Keep in mind that there is always hope that we shall see them again, on the other side of death. So, persist in doing good deeds, and soldier on, despite the pain, in the hope that you shall deserve heaven.

“He will give eternal life to those who keep on

doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and

immortality that God offers.”

BY WANDA CHOWBlack Press

While some funding for The Memory Project will be ending in March, the work will continue to preserve oral histories of aging veterans for future generations.

In the past year, the project has added more than 350 inter-views with Korean War veterans to its online archive and a similar number for Second World War veterans.

While funding from the federal Department of Canadian Heri-tage will end for the interviews about Second World War experi-ences, the Historica-Dominion Institute will continue the work, said Alex Herd, project manager for the Memory Project.

Herd noted that while Second World War veterans are often willing to be interviewed, some-times with the encouragement of their families, it can be more challenging to get Korean War veterans to participate.

That’s largely due to the fact that for decades, they were not even considered war veterans.

That war, which took place between 1950 and 1953, was of-ficially deemed a “police action”

by then-U.S. President Harry Truman for political and diplo-matic reasons, Herd explained. While the veterans experienced war-like conditions, it was not considered a war and afterwards, they didn’t receive the same ben-efits as their counterparts from the Second World War.

It wasn’t until after years of lobbying that Korean War veter-ans were publicly recognized by the federal government as war veterans in the early 1990s.

That’s all contributed to a reti-cence among many such veterans to share their stories, Herd said.

The project “is part of our effort to give them the respect they’ve been due, to encour-age them to come forward and share their stories, to show them they’re valued members of soci-

ety and their stories are valued parts of our history,” he said, “and also to educate all Canadi-ans of all generations and back-grounds on what has been a war that’s been neglected in our his-torical instruction at every level in the country.”

He noted that people in Korea continue to be very grateful for Canadians’ efforts in keeping that country free.

The project has also digitized more than 1,600 artifacts for its archives. They borrow artifacts from veterans they interview and photograph or scan them for in-clusion in the online archive be-fore returning them.

Such artifacts include photos, medals, pieces of shrapnel and communist propaganda.

One intriguing piece was a Chinese coin picked up on the battlefield by a Korean War vet-eran who was eventually wound-ed and bled on the coin. For some reason, he never cleaned the blood off.

The Memory Project is still seeking veterans of the Second World War or Korean War to participate. For more informa-tion visit www.thememorypro-ject.com or call 1-866-701-1867.

Freedom. Sacrifice. Heroes.

Those are a few words that come to mind around Remembrance Day, but for Mission’s mayor, family is also top of mind at this time.

Ted Adlem calls him-self a barrick rat, having attended 21 schools be-fore he graduated Grade 12. His Dad made a ca-reer of serving in the military, and his fam-

ily moved around a lot when he was growing up. They often re-l o c a t e d e v e r y

six months and never settled in one place for more than two years. It was tough to make long-lasting friendships, but Adlem says he had a great life as a kid and wouldn’t trade his childhood for any other.

He learned about Canada by moving from one end to another and even spent two years in Yellowknife where he learned to survive in the cold. He also saw most of western Europe before he was out of school.

Adlem’s father was with the Canadian Forc-es for almost 30 years. He joined in 1939 and served in Holland in the Second World War. Adlem’s mom was also part of the Canadian Women Army Corp dur-ing WW II when she lived in Ontario.

The elder Adlem was a major when he retired in 1968 at the age of 47. He was dismissed at the Royal Westminster Regiment in Queens Park.

Mayor Adlem is grate-ful for people like his parents, and his uncle, who fought alongside his dad in Holland, for their contributions.

“People of my par-ents’ generation made it possible for people like myself, my kids and grandkids to not have to go out and die for our country because of war,” said Adlem.

“People of my fa-ther’s generation saved us from doing that, and created an economy for other generations to flourish in.”

Everyone who fought, and those who died in war need to be remem-bered for the sacri-fice they made, added Adlem, who was hon-oured to rename part of Logan Avenue Veterans Way earlier this year.

Every year Adlem participates in Remem-brance Day ceremo-nies and although his father passed away, he also finds time to attend the Royal Westminster Regiment mess dinner every year.

Let Us Remember

The Mission Record Thursday, November 8, 2012 25

A pair of local politi-cians offered their views on what they think about as Remembrance Day draws closer.

MP Randy Kamp (Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission):

“Remembrance Day is a time when we can all take time out of our busy schedules to re-member the sacrifices of those who fought for the freedoms we enjoy today.

The eleventh hour of the eleventh month is a time of serious reflec-

tion and grateful ap-preciation for the many thousands who served Canada, many paying the ultimate price. We also acknowledge with gratitude the sacrifices being made today by Canadian Forces mem-bers who believe that the values we hold dear are worth fighting for.”

MLA Marc Dalton, (Maple Ridge-Mis-sion):

“Dad joined the RCAF during the Korean War

and served in the mili-tary for 36 years across Canada and

abroad, whether it was in remote radar stations on the Pine Tree and Dew lines or as a UN Peace Keeper in the Sinai or arming jet fight-ers in Germany where I was born.

I grew up with a deep appreciation and respect for our fighting forces and the great sacrifice they have made and con-tinue to make for our na-tion in times of war or in times of peace. I joined the Canadian Forces Re-serves as a young man and am now a member of the Legion in large part as an expression of appreciation towards those who have fought or are prepared to do so. We Remember!”

MP and MLA share Thoughts of Remembrance

BY MARIO BARTELBlack Press

Kevin Berry knew something wasn’t quite right in his head when he began having dreams of starting his jeep by smashing babies against the fender.

His colleagues in the 3rd Battalion on tour in Kabul, Afghanistan were experiencing simi-lar disturbing imagery in their sleep, the side effect of anti-malarial drugs they had to ingest for six months and the stress and strain of run-ning patrols in a country where many didn’t welcome their presence, and buried bombs in their path.

Sometimes they shared their tales of terror with each other. Often they snuffed them with alcohol. But never did they dare tell their superior officers.

That, they all feared, would be viewed as weakness, malingering.

It’s a stigma that fol-lows soldiers even after they leave the battle-field, says Berry, who grew up in Burnaby. When he returned to his base in Petawawa, Ont., from Afghanistan in February 2004, his mental health debrief consisted of a lecture in a hall filled with

300 fellow soldiers. After the psychologist asked if anyone had experienced nightmares or other mental issues nobody put up their hand. Nobody, says Berry, wanted to be put on the “bus of shame” to Ottawa for further counseling.

Berry’s military career ended that September. The dark, disturbing dreams didn’t.

Upon his return to British Columbia he started working as a guard for an armoured car company, hoping to eventually parlay that into a career as a police officer. But he couldn’t move forward in his ci-vilian life as his military experience continued to haunt him. He couldn’t focus. He couldn’t sustain relationships. He couldn’t understand what had gone so ter-ribly wrong.

Berry served in Afghanistan for six months, running “pres-ence patrols” from a jeep in Kabul, providing security to engineering crews digging wells, and building schools. It was, he says, “just like the wild west.

“There was no easing into the situation.”

One memorable day, the city was rocked by 18 suicide bombings.

During the course of his tour, three fellow Canadian soldiers were killed.

The New Veterans Charter that had been enacted by Parliament in 2006 did away with long-term pension and support programs for disabled veterans. In-stead, they’d get a one-time payment, leaving it to the disabled veter-ans to use that money to get the help they needed.

Hurt and angered, he started to focus his energy on righting that wrong. He joined the Equitas Society, a B.C. based group fighting for better disability benefits for injured soldiers.

The Mission Record Thursday, November 8, 2012 29

The Mission Roadrun-ners varsity football team captured its second con-secutive Eastern Confer-ence Championship Sat-urday afternoon, battling through soggy weather, and a drenched field.

Head coach Kevin Wa-trin said the offensive combination of Kevin Wiens and Evan Horton helped propel the local team to 30-7 win on the home field against the Robert Bateman Timber-wolves.

“A dominating de-fensive effort limiting a talented Timberwolves team to one late score when our safety fell leav-ing the Bateman receiver alone to run the remain-ing distance untouched,” said Watrin. “Bateman has several talented foot-ball players that should cause playoff teams some headaches. They may be a bracket buster before the playoffs are finished.”

Overall, Wiens passed for 155 yards, includ-ing a 10-yard toss to Wayde Carpenter. He also scrambled for two touchdowns on a 35- and 12-yard rush. Horton also played quarterback in the game, making 19 attempts for 104 yards, plus one touchdown and

a 16-yard rush.On the defensive side,

Carpenter, Nathan Sterne and Ryan Ivey each re-covered a fumble, while Horton make five tack-les, Arjun Bhogal and Sterne had four, and Cole Webster made a tackle and the only sack of the game.

Tyler McStravick con-tributed to the win with three tackles, two knock-downs and an intercep-tion of 15 yards.

The Roadrunners’ first-round playoff game is Nov. 10 at 12:30 p.m. at BC Place Stadium against Nechako Val-ley Secondary School. This team finished first in its league, but lost in the league champion-ship game 8-0 to Col-lege Heights. The NVSS quarterback, Connor Neilsen, has the most passing yards in the province.

Tickets to Saturday’s

game are available for $10 at Mission Second-ary School’s front office.

Quarterback Jesse Walker accounted for five touchdowns last Wednes-day against Samuel Rob-ertson Technical’s Titans

in the 42-0 win for the Mission secondary junior varsity team.

“We really feel like we have found our A-game

heading into playoffs,” said coach John Kapty, adding the two previous games proved the team’s strength, with wins of

40-7 and 52-0. “If we continue to play well, we think we have a good shot at getting some big playoff wins.”

In the last game of league play — in which the Roadrunners went 4-2-0 on the season — Walker also scored a 59-yard punt return and threw a 22-yard pass to Inderpreet Herr.

Running back Bryce Fillion was a standout on the wet field, scor-ing on runs of 10 and 19 yards, and rushing for 145 yards in total.

Bicky Gill and Landon Rayburn had intercep-tions on defense, and Dayton Robertson and Peter Kulba each had six tackles.

The Roadrunners’ first round of playoffs started yesterday against Carson Graham.

“They are the number one seed and we go in as a number two due to two tight losses earlier,” said Kapty.

Game results were not available by The Re-cord’s press time.

The Mission Record Thursday, November 8, 2012 31

Mission Leisure Centre’s ice rink is one of five across Canada that will earn funds through purchases of specially marked Mars candy bars.

The Play Your Part campaign is underway, and when you buy a Mars, then enter the PIN

found inside the wrapper at marsbar.ca, this activates a $5 contribution towards the local rink, courtesy of the candy bar company. Acti-vating the code also enters you in a chance to win an instant prize.

The local Leisure Centre will benefit

from a minimum of $5,000, and could re-ceive up to a maximum of $20,000 towards hockey-related improvements and renova-tions.

The Leisure Centre is used by minor hockey, lacrosse and ball hockey players, and in 2014

will play host to the B.C. Winter Games. Any money derived from the campaign will be put towards replacing the arena’s score clock, which is more than 15 years old, and has re-cently become unreliable, according to a press release.

Buy a Mars bar and support Mission Leisure Centre

Mission’s Victim Services Unit is hosting information sessions for any-one interested in jointing the organiza-tion.

Victim Services provides emotional support to victims, witnesses and other traumatized individuals, and the volun-teer will follow a case through until the

end, liaising with police and providing court updates.

They can make referrals to other agencies and lead clients through a court process.

We are recruiting people with a sin-cere desire to help in their community, said Gina Lehmberg, victim services

coordinator.Applicants must be at least 20 years

old, of good character, have no criminal record and have a valid driver’s license with a clean driving record.

Volunteers are expected to put in one four-hour office shift per week, four 12-hour call-out crisis shifts per month,

and attend one three-hour staff meeting per month.

If you would like to be a part of this dedicated and hard-working team, reg-ister for one of the 60-minute informa-tion sessions by calling 604-820-3538. Classroom training will take place in November.

More volunteers sought for Victim Services Unit

If you’ve been looking to get more active, make a difference, and get in touch with your inner child, why not consider becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister?

Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of the Fraser Val-ley is recruiting adult mentors for the community-based and in-school mentoring programs. There are over a dozen Mission children ranging in age from 7-14 waiting to find their Big Brother or Big Sis-ter, and some have been waiting more than one year.

The community-based program matches a volun-teer with a child with similar inter-ests, and allows them to do things of mutual interest in and around the community once per week for two to four hours. The requested mini-mum commitment is one year, but many mentoring relationships last longer than that.

For those who can only spare one hour per week during the week-day, consider the In-School Mentor-ing Program that matches volun-teers with a child they visit at the child’s elementary school. Their role is not to tutor or help with school-work, but to be a friend. This in-volves playing sports outside, building a ginger-bread house, or just chatting about life.

For more infor-mation, phone 604-820-3334 or send an email to [email protected].
