Filling vacancies top priority of MDBAKevin MillsMISSION RECORD

Downtown Mission boasts a collection of shops, locally run businesses, restaurants and other establishments – along with notice-able vacancies.

The increasing number of empty buildings has not gone unnoticed by the Mission Downtown Business Association (MDBA).

Jamie Hayes, executive director of the MDBA, admits that the vacan-cies are a concern. However, she says there is still plenty of potential downtown. She also realizes that the challenges now being faced are not unique to Mission and other smaller downtown cores.

“Robson Street in Vancouver has

plenty of vacancy as well,” said Hayes, who takes some comfort in that.

“But it doesn’t change the fact of what things are.

“The fact of the matter is we do have many businesses that have been here for decades. We’ve got a loyal group of people who shop down here on a regular basis, but we are concerned about the vacan-cies.”

Hayes said the association is currently compiling a database of information that will create a list of vacancies, the square footage of empty space and the price per square foot.

The MDBA is more than 100 members strong and continues to

promote and market the down-town, plan events to draw peo-ple to the downtown, and work to maintain and attract businesses and potential investors.

“We try very hard to encourage people to shop local. Some peo-ple think, incorrectly, that shopping local is going to be more expensive, and that’s not necessarily the case.

“Some people think that the downtown is unsafe, which is com-pletely untrue,” said Hayes.

Another challenge is the public’s urge to cross the bridge and shop in neighbouring Abbotsford. Hayes said it has become habit for some people who think other communi-ties have more to offer.

“Downtown Mission is so utterly

unique. A lot of people don’t realize what stores are down here.”

The MDBA has an “excellent rela-tionship” with the district’s eco-nomic development department, and Hayes said she is excited about the incentives being offered to both improve and attract businesses from outside of Mission.

Stacey Crawford, economic devel-opment officer for the District of Mission, said there are incentives in place to encourage new and cur-rent building and business owners to invest in their properties.

One example is the property tax exemption.

“It is a 10-year program that takes the pre-development property value and effectively freezes it for

five years,” said Crawford.Building improvements increase

a property’s value, causing a rise in taxes. The program freezes the tax rate for five years, then gradually increases it to the normal level over the following five years.

That incentive is applicable to existing downtown buildings and vacant lots.

Another example is the facade improvement program – a grant that will pay 50 per cent, up to a maximum of $2,000, of the cost for street-facing facade improvements.

It can be claimed by either the building owner or the merchant.

“There’s definitely been a lot of interest in that one. It is definitely

Silverdale project to public hearing

Incentives offeredto promote renewal

Kevin MillsMISSION RECORD

A proposed commer-cial development in Silverdale will move for-ward to a public hearing.

Mission council voted to give second reading to the rezoning appli-cation for the proper-ties, at 29550 and 29560 Lougheed Highway, which would allow for

the most achievable one,” said Crawford.

Other incentives include municipal fee reductions for business improvements and waiving the community amenities contribution.

Crawford said there is also more flexibility being offered regarding parking requirements and building heights.

“The downtown core is the heart of Mission. Historically, it’s the commercial centre of Mission and it’s also the first impression of Mis-sion,” he said.

He said the district is trying to create the environment that encourages renewal.

The incentives began just over a year ago as part of the Mission City Downtown Action Plan.

the area does not have municipal water or sewer services.

In order to address that concern, Coun. Rhett Nicholson asked the applicant, OTG Development Concepts, to perform a water assessment before the public hearing.

“I know the residents in the area are con-cerned about the water out there. If they can get that sorted out before the hearing, it will give the public a chance to see it.”

The developer plans to use on-site well and sewage disposal.

Other concerns included the look of the development and how it will fit in as a gateway to Mission.

Mayor Randy Hawes noted that a public hear-ing does not guarantee approval of the project.

“I’m quite happy to hear what the public has to say.”

Hawes said he tends to give consideration to “the arguments that are made, not the quantity of the arguments that are made,” adding he would normally side

construction of a gas station, drive-through restaurant and retail units.

Council decided to go to public hearing, despite staff recom-mendations not to move forward.

One of the concerns expressed came from the engineering depart-ment, which noted

Created by the formercouncil, it is not clearexactly how much, orwhen, other aspects of the plan will come into effect.

Hayes said the MDBA is hoping the district proceeds with the streetscape portion of the plan. That would mean improvements tolamps, sidewalks andgeneral aesthetics.

Hayes said the asso-ciation has many goalsfor the downtown core, but filling the vacanciestakes priority, for now.

“We’re hoping that development increasesand in doing so it will attract businesses anddevelopers from out-side of Mission to come.I’d love this to be a hot spot. And it can be – there’s so much poten-tial.”

with those that make cogent points.

Hawes added he doesn’t know where thecommunity sits on thisissue, which is why a public hearing will beuseful.

Coun. Jim Hinds said he believes the gas sta-tion is an issue.

“The argument Iheard from the reams of material we got frompeople living in the areawas they didn’t wantanother gas station.”

There is already a ser-vice station 400 metreseast of the proposaland two more approxi-mately 600 metres east.

Coun. Jenny Stevenssaid it isn’t council’s job to decide whetheranother gas station isneeded.

“That is the industry’sjob. To me, the people who know whether or not a gas station is via-ble, are the people who built the gas stations.”

She added theywouldn’t build it if theydidn’t think it would make money.

The public hearing will take place on March 16.

FROM 1


A Mission councillor would like to see a sec-tion of industrial use land transformed into mixed-use greenspace.

Pam Alexis suggested the idea during Mon-day afternoon’s council meeting.

Alexis asked coun-cil to defer voting on a rezoning request that would permit barge loading at 34980 Lougheed Highway in Hatzic.

Instead, she wants to open a dialogue with other groups to create a joint project that would see the parcel of land transformed into a mix of greenspace, com-mercial properties and other uses.

“It’s a really high-den-sity area and if there were an increase to industry in that area it would severely impact the residents.”

The property is for sale, and Alexis sug-gested the city, in part-nership with other groups – including the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society, which voiced concerns about the rezoning applications because of the possible nega-tive impact on sturgeon – could purchase the land.

“I don’t see it as a stand-alone. I definitely see it as a partnership. There are educational opportunities with the sturgeon, there’s tour-ism, there’s commercial with respect to the tour-ism, there’s greenspace and recreation. So it’s win-win.”

She said Hatzic res-idents currently can’t access the dike because it’s “all locked off.”

While it is only an idea, Alexis wants to see if it is feasible to create a greenspace that could benefit the community.

While council agreed to defer the rezoning in order to further dis-cuss the project, not all members around the table were supportive of the idea.

“I think this would not be a very good mes-

sage to be sending to those that form a part of our tax base,” said Mayor Randy Hawes.

“This will not be something that goes unnoticed by the indus-trial world... I get what you’re saying, I’m just not as convinced as you are,” he told Alexis.

Hawes said he isn’t keen on seeing the land turned into “some kind of environmental reserve area because we have precious little industrial land as it sits

today.”Hawes told council if

this property were sold to the forestry industry, rather than the aggre-gate industry, then there could be several jobs created.

“And it could, among other things, potentially remove some of the gravel trucks that are now roaring through our downtown.”

He suggested rework-ing the bylaw to ensure the property could still be used for industrial

purposes, but could not be used for gravel.

According to Hawes, residents in the area would not be happy if the gravel industry moved into that area, and aggregate could impact the sturgeon.

“I don’t think that for-estry-related activity on the river is causing any grief to the sturgeon.”

He also noted that purchasing the land would be costly.

“The property is listed for $4 million. I’m not

aware that the stur-geon society has access to $4 million.”

Coun. Rhett Nich-olson believes the greenspace idea has merit, but some give and take is needed.

“I think environ-mentalists will really appreciate this and maybe somewhere down the line we will have to take from somewhere else, but this is definitely a good spot to try and preserve,” he said.

Nicholson added the project may not create any tax base for Mission, but it could assist tourism and create spin-off jobs.

Council has given itself a three-month window to explore the greenspace concept.

Mission council has also deferred a rezon-ing request to permit barge loading at 35232 Dyke Road.

Council agreed that it should wait until the greenspace idea is discussed before mov-ing forward with a similar industrial land use rezoning request.

Greenspace project proposed

Mission Coun. Pam Alexis wants to have a conversation with council and other inter-est groups to discuss the idea of taking a parcel of industrial land and turning into a mixed-use greenspace. KEVIN MILLS PHOTO

OPINION Published & printed by Black Press Ltd. at 33047 First Avenue, Mission V2V 1G2

All around us, we hear the constant discussion about how to best prepare our young people to become produc-tive members of society: Give them the skills they’ll need to succeed in the work force and get them trained so they can work in industries where there are actually jobs available.

If we really want to address this so-called “skills shortage” amongst our up-and-coming workforce, maybe we should be encouraging a different type of learning — or at least diversi-fying teaching approaches — earlier in our children’s education, and more often.

If we’re finding that young people don’t want to go into trades careers because they’ve never seen the value of labour in making the world go ’round, let’s show them that – and get them seeing it earlier in their lives.

We need to encourage more hands-on learning, both in school and at home – and not limit it to those stu-dents who show interest in the trades.

There are some great co-op pro-

grams available for students once they reach high school – some of which they can even take for univer-sity credit to give them a head start on their chosen career.

But we still won’t see enough kids being interested in taking those pro-grams and pursuing those careers if we don’t turn them on to the value of working with their hands earlier in life.

We need to show them the value of creating physical, useful things rather than focusing solely on teaching the-ories and concepts.

At the very least, we need to end the misconception we propagate as a society that academia is somehow of higher importance or value than the trades, or that trades should be seen as a fallback plan for someone who can’t make it in university. We can start to do this by showing our kids early on the value of creating things with hard, physical work and co-oper-ation with others.

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:Do you believe BC Ambulance Service response times need to be improved?Here’s how you responded: Yes 83% No 17%

Pay down that student loan or else

In a recent speech, Premier Christy Clark quipped that while teenagers tend to be lazy, there is a limit.

If your kid is still on the couch after age 30, she said, he’s not a teenager any more. “He’s a New Democrat.”

Clark’s “get off the couch and get a job” message is now being translated into govern-ment policy. The B.C. government is using one of the few tools available to it to track down people who aren’t paying off their student loans, by linking defaulted debt to driver’s licence renewals.

There are “hardship” provisions for those who don’t have a job. ICBC will only refuse to renew a driver’s licence or vehicle plates for those who have let their student debt go for a year without making some effort to deal with it.

Student debt collection is a long-standing

problem for the province, with about $185 million currently on the books as defaulted and unpaid. Students naturally move around after completing their studies, and once the six-month grace period for beginning to repay student loans expires, finding those who aren’t paying becomes a costly effort.

Historically governments sent defaulted debt to collection agencies. Last year $17.3 million was collected. How big is student debt these days? The subject was discussed briefly in the legislature last week.

In question period, NDP leader John Horgan reminded the government that tuition fees have doubled over the past decade, and cited a Bank of Montreal estimate that the average university student emerges from a four-year program owing $35,000 in student loans.

With his usual modesty and tact, Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson dis-missed Horgan’s accusation that he is in-different to the plight of students. Wilkin-son noted that the Bank of Montreal surveyed 602 students across Canada, and only 78 of them were in B.C.

“To clarify this, and to address the cack-ling chickens on the other side, we have 430,000 students in our system,” Wilkinson

said. “Some of them are part-time; some of them are on short courses. We have 180,000 students who are in the system full-time and eligible for student aid.

“Of those 180,000 students, 45,000 turn to the province for financial aid – meaning that 75 per cent of students, more than what was quoted on the CBC yesterday, go through their education without incurring debt through the provincial student aid program.”

Whatever the amount owing is for an indi-vidual, it’s a debt that will be more difficult to avoid paying. The province has long used the withholding of driving privileges to collect

unpaid provincial court fines, and that was recently extended to those who are 90 days in arrears on $25 or more worth of Lower Main-land bridge tolls.

This student debt collection move follows efforts to match up post-secondary funding to areas of employment demand. In an era where misguided university professors use their positions to organize violent protests against job-creating projects, the messages are similar.

Variations of this productivity theme are being heard from governments across North America. The baby boomers are retiring. We are bringing in temporary foreign workers, not because of some right-wing plot, but be-cause too many people growing up in our so-ciety refuse to do an increasing range of jobs.

We have an education system – and media – that encourages people to complain and make demands to get what they want. And we are seeing the results of all of this.

There was a U.S. president once who said, “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”

Mission residents may or may not be aware of my decision to seek the nomination as the Con-servative candidate in the next federal election.

It is not at all unusual for elected officials at one level of government to seek office at another level. In the 2013 provin-cial election, 14 mayors and city councillors were elected as MLAs mid-way through their municipal mandate. These include Dr. Doug Bing, now MLA for Pitt Mead-ows-Maple Ridge, Simon Gibson,

now MLA for Abbotsford-Mission and Minister of Education Peter Fassbender, formerly mayor of the City of Langley.

Sitting NDP MLAs Jenny Kwan and Mable Elmore are also cur-rently contesting the nomination for a federal seat in Vancouver.

The challenge facing veteran politicians is this: Elections for different levels of government seldom line up neatly. This brings about by-elections. In fact, the clerk of the house in Victoria informed me that by-elections

are budgeted for every year for a variety of reasons, including when MLAs seek federal office.

I must admit I was quite sur-prised when MP Randy Kamp announced he would not be seek-ing re-election. I supported him in his latest nomination/accla-mation and actually signed his nomination papers. It has always been a consideration of mine to step forward federally whenever the time came that Randy retired.

That time has come sooner than I thought.

My decision to sit as an inde-pendent MLA during the federal nomination was made in discus-sions with the premier and other BC Liberals. Given the fact that BC Liberals are a coalition party of federal Conservatives and federal Liberals, we agreed I would sit as an independent MLA during the federal nomination process.

Let me be clear: I remain sup-portive of Premier Christy Clark and the BC Liberals and will vote with the government in the leg-islature.

As for my MLA duties, I amfully committed to representing my Maple Ridge and Mission con-stituents in Victoria.

Furthermore, my office in Maple Ridge and my office in Mission, which I share with MLASimon Gibson, remain staffed to help me meet the needs of res-idents.

NEW SKATEBOARD PARK NEEDED

Absolutely... and built correctly with input from skaters and bikers. The old park should be set up for

scooters.Colleen Sidoryk Kloschinsky

Yes, give the people somewhere to go and something to do at no cost to them.

Cindy Malet-Veale

My son skates every park in the Lower Mainland and this one is probably the worst.

Terri Rivers Kramer

There is no reason that we couldn’t fundraise for added amenities. ...a covered portion...mini kids area.

Colleen Sidoryk Kloschinsky

Yes too many kids board on the streets.Lisa Prichett

It is not needed but it would be nice.Othmar Kagi

RCMP DISCUSS PRIORITIES

It was a good start to engage the public. As would be expected, violent crimes take priority which leaves

many frustrated about lack of response times for property crimes. As was suggested, social problems

need more than just policing; starting in grade school to get kids the help needed to steer them in the right

direction.Wendy Bales

Thank you for this public meeting. And thank you Mission RCMP for all you do.

Donna Kennedy

I thought this was a waste of time. Just more excuses. There are laws the police can use to arrest

these people, and stop people you see wandering around areas that some of us have reported. The

more you arrest them and question them, the more they’re going to move on. I still would like to see

more patrols of police in my neighbourhood. Sue Robb

Tyler OLSENABBOTSFORD NEWS

Mission Mayor Randy Hawes would like to see Abbotsford pay for some of the costs associated with the district’s West Coast Express (WCE) station, but he isn’t holding his breath.

The district pays nearly $1 million for train and Train Bus ser-vices, but Hawes would like to see the City of Abbotsford contribute because its residents also use the rail link to get to Vancouver.

“Probably the major-ity of the people who take the train … in the morning are from Abbotsford, and they’re not paying,” Hawes told The Record.

He raised the issue at a February joint meet-ing of council, telling participants that “if costs continue to rise the District of Mis-sion may require sup-port from Abbotsford,” according to minutes

from the meeting.Hawes said it’s not

the first time he’s sug-gested Abbotsford pay, and he’s not optimis-tic the city will actually contribute.

Abbotsford, so far, hasn’t been receptive to the idea, and Hawes says there’s nothing Mission can do to force

their hand.“It would be nice if

they contributed, but to be honest we have nothing to compel them to do it, so I’m not holding my breath,” he said. “It’s not fair, but who said life is fair?”

Hawes also suggested that the service could be paid for through the

regional district.“It seems to me it is a

regional service.”The cost of the WCE

has risen substantially since the district signed a new agreement with the District of Mis-sion in 2011. That year, the district listed just $316,062 in costs asso-ciated with the WCE,

with it fairly evenly split between train and bus services. The new agreement saw Mis-sion’s share of contri-butions rise from five to20 per cent for its por-tion of the service, and in 2015, the district had $980,000 budgeted for the two services, with the train responsiblefor $780,600.

The agreement expires this year, although the district retains the option to extend it until 2019.

Abbotsford MayorHenry Braun was out of town, but city managerGeorge Murray said ina written statement that ““Any proposalsfrom Mission city coun-cil would have to bereviewed by Abbotsfordcity council.

“As Mission contin-ues their discussionswith TransLink I expectthat Mayor Hawes will likely continue to pro-vide Abbotsford with information he feels is relevant.”

Abbotsford riders use service too, says Mission mayor

Express costs should be shared

Mission Mayor Randy Hawes believes many of the passengers on the West Coast Express (above) are from Abbotsford. He would like the neighbouring city to help pay some of the costs of the commuter train service. DALE KLIPPENSTEIN PHOTO

Tragic ending to showJudge passes at end of competitionKevin MillsMISSION RECORD

Organizers of the 15th annual Optimist Club Talent Show are mourn-ing the loss of one of the judges.

At the end of the annual show, judge Eduard Ivanovitch Reschottkas suddenly fell ill and collapsed. He passed away that eve-ning.

In a prepared state-ment organizers said “The Optimist Club of Mission would like to extend their sincer-est condolences to the Eduard Ivanovitch Reschottkas family.”

Reschottkas was one of three judges – he was joined by Dianna Wilks and Wyatt Scott – who had the difficult task of determining the win-ners for the evening.

SHOW RESULTS:Event coordinator

Viviane Grindler said the show itself was one of the bigger ones in the event’s history.

‘There were 58 kids competing in a total of 28 acts,” said Grindler.

Despite the tragic end, the event featured some amazing perfor-mances.

In the junior category, ages six to 12, Rafael Brisbois was declared the winner for his per-formance on the piano and violin.

Taeryn Berg took sec-ond spot while Eden Cummings was third.

Dancer, choreogra-pher Brittany Grant was the winner of the seniors category (age 13 to 18).

The group consisting of Mara Hatklin, Lea

Davidson, Ryan Bowie and Shianna Bisgard were awarded second place while Kai and Lia Gronberg were third.

Grindler, who has been organizing the show for the past 14 years, said the perform-ers just keep improv-ing.

“I’ve followed these kids all the way through. The same ones are in pretty much, they just try to get better and better.”

This year’s show attracted more than 350 people many who came out just to watch the talent.

Grindler said the audience used to be made up of family members and friends, but now it has devel-oped a following in the public.

30 Years in Mission!

TAX TIPSMake sure you fi le your tax return on time if you have a balance due, even if you cannot pay them right away. By doing so, you will at least avoid the late fi ling penalty. This is currently calculated as drive percent of your balance due, plus one percent per month for a maximum of 12 months.

If you turn 19 before April 1, 2016, make sure you fi le a 2014 income tax return and apply for the GST/HST credit. You will then receive at least one GST/HST Credit cheque for the payment dates following your birthday. For example, if you turn 19 in March 2016, you will receive the last quarterly payment for the July 2015 to June 2016 benefi t period, which is paid in April 2016.

If you have not claimed the charitable donations tax credit after 2007, any cash donations you make after March 20, 2013 (including donations made in 2014) will be eligible for the fi rst- time donor super credit. This will provide you with an additional 25% credit on your fi rst $1,000 of donations.

Old charitable donation receipts that you forgo to claim in previous years should not be thrown away. Charitable donation receipts are good for fi ve years after the year in which the donation was made.

If you use public transit you may claim the cost of your monthly passes. You may also claim weekly passes if they are purchased over a period of four consecutive weeks and the cost of an electronic payment card if it is used to make at least 32 one-way trips during an uninterrupted period not exceeding 21 days.

FamiliesYou may claim a non-refundable tax credit for expenses relating to the adoption of a child. For 2014, the maximum amount of expenses on which the credit is bases is $15,000. The rules were modifi ed in 2013 to include provincially required adoption courses and home study programs as eligible expenses.

The Children’s Fitness Credit allows you to claim the cost of registering your children under the age of 16 in eligible sports or recreation programs. The maximum cost on which the credit is based is $1,000. There are enhanced rules for disabled children under the age of 18.

If you enroll you child for mandarin lessons (or any other foreign language lessons), you can claim the Children’s Arts Amount for the fi rst $500 of registration costs for a maximum credit of $75.

SeniorsSeniors who turn 65 after June 2013 can postpone receiving Old Age Security benefi ts for up to fi ve years and receive higher annual benefi ts when they do

start collecting. This would probably be benefi cial to seniors whose net income in 2014 is more than $71,592 since they will not be subject to the OAS clawback.

Tax credits are now available to seniors in Ontario and B.C. to help them with the cost of home renovations designed to help them be more mobile or functional within their homes.

If you have to travel more than 40 kilometers in order to get medical treatment which is not available locally, you can claim the cost of transportation as a medical expense. If you have to travel more than 80 kilometers you can also claim other travel expenses, such as meals and accommodation.

EmployeesIf you have employment income, make sure you claim the Canada Employment Amount. For 2014, if provides a 15% non-refundable tax credit on your fi rst $1,127 of employment income.

Employees are not normally allowed to claim supplies unless they are directly used up in the course of their employment. However, employees who are tradespersons may be able to claim a deduction for the cost of tools over $1,127. There is a maximum claim of $500.

Wage loss replacement benefi ts are completely tax-free if you paid all the premiums to the plan. They are taxable if your employer paid all the premiums. If both you and your employer contributed to the premiums, you can reduce the taxable portion of the benefi ts by the premiums you paid.

FamiliesInform the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) if there are any changes in your family circumstances which could aff ect your GST/HST credit. Examples include a change

in marital status or a change in the number of children in your care. The change will be refl ected in your next quarterly GST/HST payment.

If you deposit your Child Tax Benefi t and/or Universal Child Care Benefi t payments into a separate bank account specifi cally for your child, any interest it earns is considered your child’s income rather than your own. Your child can earn up to $11,138 in the 2014 taxation year without being subject to federal tax.

You may claim the $2,255 child amount for each of your children under the age of 18 years at the end of the year. Unlike other dependency amounts, it is not reduced by your child’s income. 2014 will be the last year parents can claim this amount.

Disabled or Infi rm DependentsIf you are disabled and need to pay for certain types of disability supports (such as optical scanners or sign-language interpretation services) in order to work or go to school, you may be able to claim a deduction for your expenses. If you provide in-home care to a parent or grandparent age 65 or older, or to any dependent relative who is 18 or over and infi rm, you may be able to claim the caregiver amount. For 2014, the maximum amount is $6,588 if the dependent is infi rm. Otherwise it is $4,530. The amount is reduced by the dependent’s net income in excess of $15,472.

Taxpayers who claim personal amounts for dependents are entitled to an additional $2,058 if the dependent is mentally or physically impaired. For example, a taxpayer who has an impaired husband with no income may claim a $13,196 spousal amount instead of $11,138.

On Sunday, the Mis-sion Save-On-Foods will hold a special day for its customers in con-junction with the 100th anniversary of Over-waitea.

It’s going to be a fun event,” said Jim Shaw, manager of the Mission store.

The celebration runs from noon to 4 p.m. and features face-painting, hot dog sales, old-fash-ioned floats (root beer and cream soda) as well as popcorn and ice cream and waffle cones.

“The more the mer-rier,” said Shaw, who is hoping some of the for-mer Mission managers will attend the celebra-tion.

The first Overwaitea in Mission opened in 1927, 88 years ago.

Shaw said there have been five locations since then. The first was located on First Ave., close to the Mis-sion Record office. After that, it moved several

times before occupying its current location at the Junction.

As part of the celebra-tion on Sunday, a replica of the original Mission store front has been cre-ated.

“We tried to copy as much as we could from the original,” explained Shaw.

His produce manager Ray MacDonald helped construct it with help of several other staff members.

“It really turned out nice,” said Shaw.

Overwaitea Food Group, is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the first Overwaitea store, which opened in New

Westminster. There are now 145 stores in B.C. and Alberta, employing more than 14,500 peo-ple

The group’s brands also include Save-On-Foods, PriceSmart Foods, Cooper’s Foods, Urban Fare and Bulkley Valley Wholesale.

Celebrating a century of service

The first Overwaitea in Mission (left) opened on First Ave. in 1927. Now located at the Junction, Save-On-Foods is hosting a birthday celebration on Sunday. Staff created a replica (right) of the original store front which is now on display. Store manager Jim Shaw and produce manager Ray MacDonald are standing by the structure.

Free workshop offeredHelp is on the way for Mission resi-

dents living with a recent diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia.

The non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. brings its free workshop, Getting to Know Dementia, to the area on March 26.

The introductory session reviews the different types of support avail-able throughout the dementia jour-

ney, how to begin planning for the future and strategies for living well.

This session is intended for peo-ple experiencing early symptoms of dementia, as well as family members or friends who are currently support-ing a person with a recent demen-tia diagnosis. The workshop is not intended for the general public or health care providers.

It runs from 3 to 5 p.m. on March 26 at the Seniors Activity Centre, 33100 - 10 Avenue.

Good hearing, poor comprehension?The number of people who can hear well, but can’t understand what’s being said, is increasing. This is most evident in conversations and watching television. A newly-developed hearing chip is designed to restore speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear.

A lot of people have poor comprehension, though they actually still hear well. It becomes noticeable in conversation, watching television and asking family to repeat what’s been said. A potential cause can be undetected loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the high-frequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear. The person with hearing loss mixes up, or can no longer hear, consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g. Speech comprehension is particularly impaired when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not

consider themselves to have a hearing problem. They can hear deep tones with no issue, and often put difficulty understanding speech down to unclear pronunciation. However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying.

A new hearing chip has beendeveloped.

Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing chip that restores speech comprehension, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. First, a hearing test

Ginette van Wijngaarden, at Connect Hearing, advises people with hearing loss on the new hearing chip, together with her colleagues.

and speech comprehension analysis is done. Where inner-ear damage is present, a software program analyzes the difference relative to normal hearing. These values are then input into the new Venture hearing chip in the Audéo V, which precisely takes into account and balances the frequency range of the person being tested. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation.

Interested people can register for a no-obligation demonstration of the Audéo V by calling 888.408.7377

Nine-year-old Sum-mer Scutt and a small group of her friends from Christine Morrison Elementary have taken it upon themselves to help students from another local school.

The group of young students held a sale of Rainbow Loom items and managed to raise $175 to donate to a fundraising campaign to replace damaged playground equipment

at Hatzic Elementary.A few months back,

vandals damaged the Hatzic playground so badly that the entire structure had to be removed. Other fund-raisers are currently being planned to help replace the equipment.

When Scutt heard about it, she wanted to help as well. Her mother, Corinne Forret came up with the idea.

“She wanted to help, and I said to her ‘you have all this Rainbow

Loom, why don’t you do that.’”

Summer, along with her friends Grace and Abby, made necklaces, bracelets, charms and other items to sell. The trio worked hard to cre-ate a large number of items.

“Rainbow Loom is the latest craze that came out about a year ago,” explained Forret. “They are rubber bands and it comes with a loom and they make everything with them.”

Once they created enough pieces, the three girls were joined by a fourth friend, Anna, who helped sell them to their fellow classmates.

The response was strong as almost every item sold.

“They were so excited about it and worked very hard. We’re so proud of them,” said Forret.

The girls will present the money to Hatzic Elementary on Wednes-day.

Girls lend a helping handFour Christine Morrison Elementary students (from left to right) Anna, Summer Grace and Abby, combined forces to make and sell Rainbow Loom accessories. The girls raised $175 during the sale and donated the money to Hatzic Elementary for its new playground fund. SUBMITTED PHOTO

It wasn’t what the Mission squad was hoping for. The well-rested Outlaws were in Aldergrove on Wednes-day night to take on a tired Kodiaks squad in the opening game of their second round playoffs series.

The Kodiaks were dominant on home ice, handing Mission a convincing 5-1 loss.

Aldergrove took the game to the Outlaws, scoring five straight goals to earn a com-manding 5-0 lead mid-way through the third period.

Mission’s only marker came in the final frame when Ryan Sharma found the back of the net. Assists went to Brody Dyck and Bak-shi Gill.

Jeffrey Veitch took the loss in net, stop-ping 27 of 32 shots he faced.

Mission and Alder-grove hooked up again on Thursday night for game two of the series.

The score was not available at press time.

The Mission Outlaws have been enjoying a well-earned rest after eliminating the Lang-ley Knights from the Pacific Junior Hockey

League playoffs last week.

The Kodiaks just fin-ished a gruelling sev-en-game series againstthe Abbotsford Pilots,which wrapped up Monday night.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

(AGM) Stars claim championship bannersKevin MillsMISSION RECORD

Sometimes every-thing just goes right. That may be the best way to sum up the Mission Stars’ run.

The Atom A1 hockey squad wrapped up a successful season in style on Monday night, defeating the Surrey Thunder 3-1 in the final match of the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association playoffs.

The local squad won both the league and playoff champi-onships this year, and registered an amaz-ing 28-2-2 record which included its current 18-game win-ning streak.

Coach Brad Veitch

said there is no big secret to the squad’s success.

“It’s just been hard work, team work and buying into not car-

ing who’s getting the goals or who’s getting the credit.”

Veitch said his squad plays well defensively and “just

have the ability, no matter who we put out there, to score.”

The squad is made up of nine- and 10-year-olds who

just enjoy playing together.

While the squad has been presented with its champion-ship banners, the season isn’t over yet.

The Stars will be in Osoyoos for a tourna-ment in a few weeks.

Other highlights of the local squad’s championship season include:

Aldergrove Tour-nament Champions (5-0) in January;

Surrey Tournament Champions (5-0) in October 2014;

Fraser Valley Con-ference League Champions (14-2-2);

Fraser Valley Con-ference Playoff Champions (4-0).

Barney Bentall, Jim Byrnes and John Mann are all coming to Mis-sion for one special night of music.

The Clarke Theatre will host the three musicians on Thursday, March 12, starting at 7:30 p.m.

Barney Bentall has been creating music since 1978. In 1983, the Legendary Hearts mon-iker was added and the music was magic. Their debut album featured three hit songs, Some-thing to Live For, House of Love (is Haunted) and Come Back to Me. The hits just kept on coming with Crime Against Love, Life Could Be Worse, Livin’ in the ’90s, Doin’ Fine, Do Ya, and Shattered.

Three-time Juno winner and BC Enter-tainment Hall of Famer Jim Byrnes was born in blues country. Forty-five years on the blues high-way with the likes of Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Taj Mahal and Robert Cray landed this quintessential blues man in Vancouver.

Now a West Coast legend, Byrnes has crooned, drawled, belted, hollered and sweet-talked such songs as 12 Questions, Walk on Boy, Still Stuck on You, Jailbird Love Song and Just a Pilgrim, Win-ner of Canadian Spot-

light Awards’ best music video of the year (2006).

With 11 albums and countless tours of the U.K., Europe and North America fronting Spirit of the West, John Mann returns with his newest work as a solo artist, The Waiting Room. This album is a testament to the journey this

Juno-winning musician and actor took while he was sick with cancer (2009 through 2011).

Confronted with the challenge of his life, Mann’s approach on this multifaceted proj-ect captures his expe-rience, creating a nat-ural script and visual journey that delivers

tears and laughter as he reveals the most vul-nerable moments of his recovery.

The musical event is being presented by Rock.It Boy Entertainment. Tickets are $37.50 and are available at Ticket-master, by phone 1-885-985-5000 or online at www.ticketmaster.ca.

The Death of Zukasky, a comedy about office politics and just how far some folks will go to get promoted, opens tonight at Mission’s Opening Nite Theatre.

This satirical farce pokes fun at the cor-porate world where the boss is always right, you never trust anyone who says “trust me” and people who count don’t make coffee.

Middle manager The-odore Zukasky (played by Chuck Alp) has just died and his underlings can’t scramble over his corpse fast enough to jump up the corpo-rate ladder. Zukasky’s untimely end unleashes a back-stabbing power struggle amongst some recognizable office ste-reotypes.

There’s the hard working but under-ap-preciated office drone, Annie Desmond (Su Wolfe), struggling to gain a foothold in the “Old Boys’ Network,” the brown-nosing yes-man, Barry Mills (Andrew Wood), who keeps rising to his level of incompe-

tence and the scheming go-getter, A.C. Tattums (David J. Bodor), able to manipulate and pit his insecure colleagues against one another.

Overseeing the troop is the big boss Harry Marlino (Nathan Drury) with a fondness for pointless metaphors

and lacking insight into who really runs the office. You wouldn’t want to work here but it’s fun to watch.

The Death of Zukasky, by Richard Strand, is directed by Kathy Yewell and produced by Mahara Sinclaire. The show runs March 6 to March 22 (Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. at Opening Nite Theatre, 33223 Railway Aven. in Mission (across from the West Coast Express Station.)

Tickets are $15 and are available at open-ingnitetheatre.com or [email protected] or 604-826-6687 or at the door 45 minutes before showtime.

Legal-Ease

Assisted suicide debate will continue

The Criminal Code says that everyone who aids a person to commit suicide is a criminal. It also says that no person may consent to death being inflicted on them. Together, these provi-sions prohibit assisted suicide in Canada. In 2009, a B.C. woman,

Gloria Taylor, was diag-nosed with a fatal neu-rodegenerative disease. She wanted to die with dignity but was legally prevented from seek-ing assistance to that end. So, she challenged the constitutionality of the Criminal Code. In a 2012 decision the BC Supreme Court trial judge found that the Criminal Code prohibi-tion violated the rights of competent adults suffering intolerably as a result of grievous and irremediable medical conditions under Char-ter of Rights and Freedoms.

The case went to the BC Court of Appeal in 2013 and that court

upheld the 20 year-old precedent set in the Sue Rodriguez case. The Court of Appeal said the lower court should have been “bound” by the Rodriguez decision. So, in 2014, the case went to Canada’s highest Court for a final deci-sion. On Feb. 6, 2015, the Supreme Court of Can-ada (SCC) held (unani-mously) that the appeal should be allowed.

The question the nine SCC judges were asked to answer was whether Criminal Code violates Charter rights to life, liberty and security of the person, and to equal treatment under the law. The high court said it is a question that asks us to balance competing values of great importance: the autonomy and dignity of a competent adult who seeks death as a response to a grievous and irremediable med-ical condition, and the sanctity of life and the need to protect the vul-nerable.

The SCC agreed with the original trial judge who found that the Criminal Code prohibi-tion violates the Char-ter rights of competent

adults who are suffering intolerably as a result of grievous and irremedia-ble medical conditions.

The SCC thereforeconcluded that theprohibition on phy-sician-assisted dying is void insofar as it deprives competent adults of such assis-tance where (1) theperson affected clearlyconsents to the termi-nation of life; and (2)the person has a griev-ous and irremediable medical condition thatcauses enduring suffer-ing that is intolerableto the individual in the circumstances of his orher condition.

“Irremediable,” it should be added, does not require the patientto undertake treatmentsthat are not acceptableto the individual.

The decision does nothave immediate effect.The court stated that it would suspend the dec-laration of invalidity for 12 months.

So what doesthis mean?

It means that one year from now, assistedsuicide will be legal in Canada, within certainconstitutional parame-ters. The SCC has said that it is for Parliamentand the provincial leg-islatures, should they so choose, to create lawsconsistent with thoseparameters. It should be pointed out that thecourt was very carefulto say that the scopeof its declaration in this case is intended torespond to the factualcircumstances in this case only and is not a pronouncement on other situations wherephysicianassisted dying may be sought.

This debate has gone on in Canada for manyyears and will, no doubt,carry on into the future. Time will tell how the federal and provin-cial governments will respond in efforts to conform to this land-mark ruling.

Big Bunch meets for first time

Mentoring program launched in MissionBig Brothers Big Sis-

ters of the Fraser Valley introduced its new Big Bunch program to the Mission area last week-end to assist a growing need.

“The purpose of the Big Bunch program is to address the needs of the boys on our wait list for a Big Brother, who can typically wait years for a mentor to come along,” said mentoring co-ordinator Cassie Silva.

This six-month Big Bunch pilot program is partially funded by Mission Community

Foundation and will partner four local boys with volunteer mentor Tyler Carr.

Carr is the direc-tor of local organiza-tion Empowered Living Services, whose vision is to provide skill devel-opment, community inclusion, employment and goal-setting ser-vices for all ages and abilities.

“I am as busy as the next guy,” Carr said, “but when I learned of the growing need in the Mission commu-nity for male mentors, I decided I needed up to

step up and do my part to give back.”

There are currently eight boys and girls on the Mission waitlist and some have been waiting over two years. Carr encourages other Mission residents to get involved and step up like he did to make a difference in the life of a boy or girl seeking another healthy adult role model.

For more information on Big Brothers Big Sis-ters of the Fraser Valley, visit mentoringworks.ca or call 604-820-3337.

AMBIGUOUS LOSSThere are many situations where we experience loss ambiguously. A family member suffering from a brain injury or who is becoming progressively more senile certainly fits the criteria for ambiguous loss, because they are physically present but psychologically absent. Homesickness is also a case of ambiguous loss because the person missed can be psychologically present, on the phone, for instance, but be physically absent. Choosing to move away from home or to break up with a romantic partner are clear cases of ambiguous loss, which we may have chosen in full knowledge that we would experience some sadness or melancholy. Abductions, missing persons, and cases where someone is lost are particularly difficult forms of ambiguous loss because the family and friends of the missing person simply don t know what to expect. In some cases, the ambiguity resolves, people regain their health or missing persons are found, but often the ambiguity remains and there may never be closure. Dealing with these situations requires the ability to live with ambiguity. Usually there is no easy answer, and the temptation to solve these problems only exacerbates the experience of ambiguous loss, because it holds out the prospect of closure or resolution when there is none.

“Lord, you are the God who saves me; day and night I cry out to you. May my prayer come

before you; turn your ear to my cry.”Psalm 88:1-2

March is a good time for local fishermen to get out on the lake or streams. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Good time to go lake fishingAnglers have debated for hundreds of yearsJeff WeltzSPECIAL TO THE RECORD

After 48 years of war neither Britain or the U.S. were interested in crossing swords again. Though weapons were put to rest, a battle for supremacy in word and print continued, until the turn of the next century.

One of the first incursions was leveled in 1835, by author Paul Fisher, in his book, The Angler’s Souvenir, where Fisher depicts a dialogue between two British anglers: Simp-son and Fisher.

“Have you ever seen any American books on angling, Fisher?”

“No, I do not think there are any pub-lished. Brother Jona-than is not yet suf-ficiently civilized to produce anything original on the gentle art.”

Some years later, New York tackle dealer, John J Brown responded to Fisher’s jabs, in his own book, American Angler’s Almanac.

“From the foregoing extract it would seem that John Bull has a rather poor opinion of Brother Jonathan’s lit-erary and piscatorial attainments. Now we courteously inform Mr. Bull that there are several works on fish-ing in this country, and that we are so civilized that we do not become gentlemen before we can use the rod – that we commence using the fishing rod at the same time that our schoolmaster begins with the birchen one… and though we do not find leisure to give our whole attention to it, that our numbers are

legion, and among them some quite as scientific in literary and piscatorial attain-ments as those who angle on the other side of the Big Pond.”

Being looked down on, American anglers sought to prove their prowess by challeng-ing the boundaries set by the British, who had dominated the sport of flyfish-ing for the previous three centuries. One of these ground breakers was adventurer and sport fishing journal-ist, US Army Maj.-Gen. George Gibson. As was typical of early Ameri-can sportfishing writ-ers, Gibson challenged accepted ideologies. In the following passage taken from an arti-cle he wrote, for the Turf Register (1838), he challenges Dame Juli-ana, and her treatise, which had been the standard and founda-tion of fly fishing for three and a half cen-turies.

“It is nonsense to believe there is a color for every month (this was a common notion, since the time of the treatise) it is not so for in fishing three mill pools on the same stream, on the same day, I have found, that to be successful, I had to change my fly and color of it at each pool; and fishing in the same place a few days after, the only fly trout would rise to, was a small grey one, and to such a one they would rise freely in all the pools…”

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat DD iii CC ddd |

Driving emission-free down Electric AvenueDriveway will spend the next few weeks taking a spin down Electric Avenue in a brand new 2015 Nissan LEAF.And shortly after the Van-couver International Auto Show closes on March 29, we’ll be handing the keys to one of these eco-friend-ly electric cars to a reader! (See contest details.)Even if you don’t win the prize car, you might want to do more than kick the tires on the emission free vehicle as the BC Gov-ernment is set to renew its Clean Energy Vehicle incentive program. Details have yet to be revealed but the announced $7.5 million total commitment suggests the instant rebate scheme will reduce the sticker pric-es for all electric, plug-in hybrid and fuel cell vehicles by up to $5,000.The Nissan LEAF S edition starts at just under $32,000, which, after the expect-ed point of sale price reduction, puts the sedan at a competitive price point alongside small gas-powered family cars. The SV adds a quick charge port to the car, some additional technology

and interior improvements for another $5,000 and the SL adds leather seating and alloy wheels for another $3,000. The Nissan Quick Charge Port (standard on SV and SL) allows charging to 80 per cent capacity in 30 minutes at public charging stations, using a DC fast charger. There will be additional incentives for those installing 220-volt fast chargers at home, which reduce charging time to five hours. The fuel efficiency of the four-door, five-seat LEAF is calculated at the gas equivalent of about 2.0 L/100 kms with a range of around 120 kms on a full

charge. The LEAF, which interestingly stands for Leading, Environmentally friendly, Affordable, Family car, is now in its fifth model year. It topped 1,000 sales in Canada late last year, making it the country’s top-selling electric car.The 2015 Nissan LEAF models include Rear View Monitor as a standard fea-ture; an available hybrid heater system

that provides superior cold weather performance while consuming less energy; “B” drive mode increases regenerative braking during decelera-tion; and a standard charge port light and lock with a charge port door release button added to the intelligent key fob.Enhanced interior features on

the 2015 LEAF model range from a standard leather-wrapped steer-ing wheel to a black interior colour and sun visor extensions. Rear cargo space is 680L with the second row seat upright. There is 850L of cargo space with the standard 60/40-split

rear seat folded down.EV-IT improvements for the 2015 LEAF model include an “Eco route” feature in the available navigation system that includes suggested power-saving alternative routes – plus Google’s local search. The Google Places search func-tion allows Nissan LEAF owners to look for area restaurants, shops and other points of interest and browse user reviews using Google’s POI database to get the most up-to-date information at all times.Next week, we report on the drive and the practicality of ownership.

HOLLANDMary Hilda

(nee Loveridge) July 14, 1924 ~ Dec. 11, 2014

Mary passed away peacefully in The Residence of Mission (TRIM) at the age of 90. She leaves behind her loving daughter Fran (Mike) Harty; son George (Cheryl) Holland; grandchildren Michelle (Nolan) Riley; Athena (Ron) Paling; Matt (Diana) Harty; Rod (Erin) Aubichon; Sheri George; 11 great grandchildren; sister Ruth (Leonard) Holland; and many nieces, nephews and friends. Mary was born in Melaval, Saskatchewan and moved to the Loveridge dairy farm in Pitt Meadows, BC when she was eight years old. She completed her senior matriculation in Maple Ridge and was a former employee/ resident at the Bank of Commerce on Washington St., Mission, BC (now known as the Mission Museum on First Avenue). After World War II, in 1946, she married her child-hood sweetheart, veteran Lawrence Holland, and they settled in Pitt Meadows. The love of the north country drew them to a log cabin in Quesnel where they lived until 1953, and then to Maple Ridge for 47 years, retiring in Mission in 1991. She was renowned for her home baked pies at the Pana Bode diner in Maple Ridge. Her love of music was expressed in the many instru-ments she played. Mary’s enjoyment of family especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren leave a legacy of cherished memories. Mary was predeceased by her father Byron Loveridge; her mother Frances; her brothers Tom and George; and her sisters Lucy and Mabel. Mary was greatly loved and will be sorely missed. A Memorial Service will be held at Baker-view Community Crematorium and Celebration Centre, 34863 Cemetery Avenue, Mission, at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 21, 2015. Our special thanks to Dr. Peter Barnsdale, and especially to the staff and volunteers at TRIM. In lieu of fl owers, the family would great-ly appreciate donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
