2012 YEAR IN REVIEW

BY JASON ROESSLEMission Record

Those at the front of the line had been camped out on the Leisure Centre floor since 5:30 a.m.

In the few minutes lead-ing up to the free Carly Rae Jepsen concert ticket giveaway Tuesday night, that line stretched out and around the facility, spilling up Taulbut Street nearly halfway to Seventh Av-enue.

A few of the Jepsen fans at the head of the line were proudly showing off the red Target-logo emblazoned wristbands that signified they were guaranteed one of the 500 tickets that were being handed out starting at 6 p.m. Dec. 11.

Alyssa, 12, has been a fan of the Mission singer since she started perform-ing. The Grade 7 student from Heritage Park Sec-ondary School had seen her perform locally years ago and has remained a stal-wart follower of Jepsen’s success.

Another girl part of the front-line group was Ca-rissa from Mission Sec-ondary School, who sings choir and loves Jepsen’s music. The Grade 7 student said she feels inspired that someone from this commu-nity has done so well.

Jepsen, who last week was

nominated for two Grammy Awards, is being brought to town by Target, which is hosting the Dec. 17 perfor-mance at the Clarke Theatre.

Her hit single Call Me Maybe is competing for the Best Pop Solo Perfor-mance award and Song of the Year. Song of the year recognizes the song writ-ers, and Jepsen’s team also includes Tavish Crowe and Josh Ramsay.

“I’m so grateful to be back home in Mission where I’ve received such strong support from day one,” said Jepsen in a press release.

Jepsen’s rise to the top of

the pop music scene came after Call Me Maybe hit it big earlier this year. The song has gone five times platinum, sold more than 10 million singles, and summited to the number one spot on the charts in 37 countries, including the U.S. where it spent nine weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100.

The Target Road Trip launched in Halifax, Nova Scotia Nov. 30 and has been making its way across the country.

Homicide investigators have identi-fied the woman found dead in her mo-bile home Thursday afternoon.

Muriel Anne Elaine Monk, 47, is believed to be the victim of foul play, according to Sgt. Jennifer Pound of the RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investi-gation Team (IHIT).

An autopsy to conclusively determine the cause of death was scheduled for Tuesday, she said. Results were not available by The Record’s press dead-line. For the latest updates, please visit missioncityrecord.com.

Police are trying to locate the victim’s vehicle, a green 1997 Dodge Caravan with B.C. licence plate 662RTH.

Police were called to the 34000-block of Lougheed Highway around 4 p.m. Oct. 4, and the site was cordoned off with yellow police tape for several hours.

If you have any information, or have seen the minivan, call IHIT’s tipline at 1-877-551-4448, or send an e-mail to [email protected].

BY CAROL AUNMission Record

Mission’s mayor will be introducing legislation to scrap the Public Safety Inspection Team (PSIT) by year’s end.

The district isn’t using the bylaw and it’s just sit-ting in the books, Mayor Ted Adlem explained.

“There is no PSIT team now, nor will there ever be one under my watch,” he added.

The PSIT bylaw has been contentious since its 2008 inception. The bylaw was created to ad-dress concerns regard-ing clandestine drug labs and marijuana grow op-erations, allowing the dis-trict to penalize property owners whose homes are found to be altered to pro-duce illegal drugs, like marijuana and metham-phetamine.

The team visited homes based on data from BC Hydro indicating unusu-ally high power consump-tion.

Property owners whose homes were suspected of housing illegal substances

were charged $4,900 for the inspection and a $300 administration fee. Addi-tional remediation inspec-tions were $250.

The team was put on hold indefinitely in Janu-ary 2011 and every file, except for ones initiated by police, is being re-viewed.

The review won’t be completed by the end of the year, said Adlem, who notes it is being worked on weekly.

Adlem is hopeful coun-cil can address the prob-lems surrounding medi-cal marijuana grow op-erations before the PSIT bylaw is gone for good. The federal government has legalized marijuana through a medicinal use, but has downloaded the associated problems to local governments, ex-plained Adlem.

It’s a safety issue, ac-cording to the mayor.

Businesses in Mission are inspected on a regu-lar basis, and Adlem says his restaurant is subject to checks twice a year. Fire and safety inspectors should inspect a building where marijuana is being grown, he reasoned.

“I don’t care if you grow marijuana, just make sure it’s done properly,” said Adlem. “We have every right to expect every home is safe.”

This past Saturday’s earthquake off Haida Gwaii is another re-minder to Mission residents to be prepared for any type of natural di-saster, or widespread infrastructure breakdown.

It is recommended you know the safe places to which to flee at your work and in your home in case an earthquake strikes, said Asst. Chief Larry Watkinson, Mission Fire/

Rescue Service.“Talk to your family and co-

workers and make sure they know how to use a fire extinguisher,” he added.

A 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Haida Gwaii at 8:07 p.m. and was located 139 kilometres south of Masset.

If the event had caused more widespread damage, it’s conceiv-able no one would come to your aid for at least 72 hours, said Wat-kinson, underlining the need to

be personally prepared to care for yourself and family.

A minimum of four to six litres of water per person, per day is the basis of a home kit.

Other suggested additions would be a portable, battery-oper-ated radio, flashlight, candles, es-sential medications, toiletry items, and a crescent wrench that would be used to shut off the gas at your meter.

Also, weather appropriate cloth-ing should be stored in your home

and vehicle kits in case you have to walk somewhere else.

In Mission, the emergency op-erations centre (EOC) is activated immediately during any type of crisis, said Watkinson.

Located at fire station one on Seventh Avenue, the seismic-pre-pared structure can continue op-erating even if there is power loss due to its generator.

For more information on emer-gency preparedness and on what to include in your kit, visit pep.bc.ca.

The speed limit on First Av-enue in downtown Mission is being dropped to 40 km/h.

Council wanted the speed to be reduced from the current 50 km/h to 30 km/h and made the request to Abbotsford-Mission MLA Randy Hawes, who re-ferred the matter to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastruc-ture (MOTI) earlier this year.

In a letter dated Oct. 5, the MOTI stated the speed limit for all numbered highways is 50 km/h unless there is a school zone present.

However, in recognition of Mission’s downtown revitaliza-tion project, the ministry granted a reduction.

Mission Downtown Business Association’s executive director was disappointed the speed limit wasn’t altered to 30 km/h, but says this is a step in the right direction.

Ronda Cushnie expects traffic calming will come as part of the revitalization plan to make First Avenue a pedestrian-friendly area.

“Our dream is to have wide sidewalks, outdoor cafes, and green up some space,” said Cush-nie. “Ultimately, we would like to see an overpass or bypass.”

Council is also not satisfied with the reduction and Coun. Dave Hensman says he will keep fighting for the lower speed.

Mayor Ted Adlem suggested Mission should consider, through the revitalization plan, taking over First Avenue from the pro-vincial ministry.

JanuaryThe Sturgeon’s on the Fraser project

received new life, as district council fulfilled an election promise to bring “McBarge” to public hearing.

The proposed $10-million floating restaurant and marina at the foot of Horne Street had been stalled under the previous council, as the planning department considered the application incomplete without acquiring adjacent land for parking, referred to as the uplands.

Mayor Ted Adlem moved that the previous CD-21 zone for the foreshore area of McBarge be rescinded of first and second reading, so that the new in-carnation, CD-23 zone, could pass first and second reading and proceed to pub-lic hearing, which happened Jan. 30.

The whole project had become a chicken-egg paradox, since Meakin was reportedly reluctant to acquire the land without approval of the project, while the district would not approve the project without a land use plan for parking.

During question period former coun-cillor Mike Scudder, who presided over the first application for McBarge, asked whether staff in the planning depart-ment have since changed their opinion that the project was considered incom-plete.

But now-retired chief administrative officer Glen Robertson was quick to say it wouldn’t be fair to ask staff to provide an opinion.

FebruaryDeveloper Howard Meakin stood up

and triumphantly raised his fists over his head following approval of third reading of his floating restaurant at public hearing.

The gesture was made half in jest, since the two-year battle to receive full approval may be only half over. Meakin must still follow a number of other requirements prior to adoption of the foreshore zone amending bylaw, in-cluding the acquisition of adjacent land to meet district parking requirements.

Municipal hall was filled to capacity that night as overflow spectators sat in the foyer to listen to residents and past councillors.

Meakin said the barge will be cleaned before it’s towed to Mission, but it will be refurbished and renovated here.

“It’s not a mom and pop operation, but it’s a lot of money and it’s a lot of jobs,” he said, assuring people in attendance that Missionites would ben-efit from employment before and after project completion.

Of the 28 written submissions sent to the district, 26 offered support for the project, including the tourism boards of regional municipalities, with just two opposed.

In addition to securing the upland

properties, Meakin must also have a long-term lease of the foreshore area from the province, make dike improve-ments, provide engineering and land-scaping plans, and other stipulations prior to full approval.

• A proposed $80-million commercial and residential development at Wren Street and Lougheed Highway received environmental approval, according to developer Karel Carhoun.

“After considering the proposed proj-ect mitigation, including avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures; proponent commitments; follow-up monitoring; and adaptive management, the project is not likely to cause signifi-cant adverse environmental effects,” reads the document.

The decision, which Carhoun has been awaiting since September 2009, is an about-face from DFO, which the de-veloper said had previously indicated in early January that it would not approve the venture.

“I’m just happy to receive this au-thorization so we can move forward with the project,” said Carhoun. “It’s been two-and-a-half years and it’s been a very frustrating and costly process.”

Carhoun’s project could generate as many as 1,000 jobs and provide about $2.5 million in additional property taxes to the district based on estimates made by Mission’s economic develop-ment officer, Stacey Crawford.

MarchThe community came out to celebrate

Mission fire station three’s 20th an-niversary.

A full hall of firefighters and many who helped bring the facility to life in 1991 were on hand to commemorate the occasion, including former district councillors, MLAs and retired fire-fighters.

Cutting the cake for the event was Tom O’Beirne, who chaired the South-west Mission Ratepayers when work to build the hall began.

The event also marked a change of leadership at the hall, with District Chief Mike Lavallee retiring and hand-ing his responsibilities over to Len Pesonen. These two men, along with three others, were original members of the station.

• The District of Mission had not pre-sented a budget with a zero per cent tax increase in at least 38 years, said Mayor Ted Adlem at a special council meeting to garner public input.

That’s according to anecdotal con-versations with long-time residents like Coun. Larry Nundal, who said he’s never heard of a budget going forward without a tax increase.

“Council has a taxpayer-in-mind

philosophy with regards to municipal finances,” said Coun. Tony Luck, finance chair.

The achievement was no small task, as a Nov. 3 draft budget docu-ment from the district’s finance department in-dicated there would be a 6.18 per cent tax in-crease.

Instead, staff in almost every department were asked to create a base

budget at 90 per cent of 2011 levels, eventu-ally resulting in $1.6 mil-lion in savings. This was done, said Luck, with minimal impact to jobs and services.

The district has en-acted several temporary cost-saving measures during the three-month Core Services Review, set to finish in June, in-cluding a hiring freeze, a freeze on council remu-

nerations, and a volun-tary tax contribution on 2012 tax bills.

AprilOne man was dead,

and another was injured after a shooting on Man-son Street in Hatzic.

Mission RCMP said when they arrived at the home, located between Dann Avenue and Catch-pole Avenue, they found one man, a 41-year-old Mission resident, inside the house shot in the head.

The shooter, a 47-year-old Abbotsford man, was located out-side, dead from a self-inflicted gunshot from a handgun.

The victim was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital via air ambu-lance and is in critical condition, however, po-lice say he will live.

RCMP said the shooter

was familiar with the victim as he had been in a previous relationship with the victim’s current partner.

Mounties had no pre-vious knowledge of any relationship problems

Neighbours across the street said their 11-year-old son heard three gun-shots from his second-floor bedroom window.

“We were all shocked,” said Jacquelyn Turner, describing the neigh-bourhood as quiet.

Her husband, Magnus Turner, said he believes there were two children living in the home. They were reportedly taken away by a family mem-ber in a car around 2 a.m.

The Turners were watching television when the shooting took place and neither heard gun-shots, but went to the front door when Magnus noticed emergency crews arrive and a K9 unit began searching the area.

Jacquelyn said the neighbours had moved in about a month ago.

• Mission’s iconic landmark, the Bellevue Hotel, had been sold by owner Brad Fletcher, meaning it will change hands from a Fletcher to somebody outside the family for the first time in nearly 80 years.

The hotel had been in the clan since 1935 when Brad’s grandpar-ents, George and Mildred Fletcher, operated the Bellevue Lodge, consist-ing of 16 rooms and a cafe.

Then in 1948-49 the hotel was completely re-built and the structure as it currently looks opened on July 27, 1949.

Brad says he didn’t go looking for a buyer or decide to put the land-mark up for sale himself. He was approached by a realtor who had clients interested in purchasing the hotel.

“There was a large number of reasons that, when combined, per-suaded me to sell the business. Among the more prominent factors were, the building is 63 years old and a challenge to maintain; the bar busi-ness has been in decline for a number of years and I believe that trend will continue; I did not think it was a good ca-reer for my daughter to become involved in,” he said.

New owners took over operations June 2.

• A divided audience packed council cham-bers as proponents of the $80-million Wren Creek development argued in favour of jobs and taxes, while opponents warned against irreparably dam-aging the environment.

Roughly 30 people voiced their thoughts about the project before council voted 7-0 to ap-prove third reading.

Year in Review 2012

Support and opposition to the development was divided right up the middle, with half speaking in favour and another 12 who couldn’t accept the appli-cation in its current form, mostly citing environmental concerns.

Although many people took their five-minute time allotment to speak about environmental worries of de-veloping 32 acres of the property, Mayor Ted Adlem surprised the room by saying the public hearing was just a land use question and that questions about the environment should be directed to senior levels of government.

The developer first applied for a variance in June 2009, which spurred a Canadian Environmental As-sessment Act (CEAA) screening, including investiga-tion from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) to confirm that no harmful alteration or de-struction of fish habitat would occur on the site.

That process took nearly three years to complete, with DFO concluding in February that the project is “not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects,” though DFO took into account the propo-nent’s mitigation plan, which includes purchasing the nearby Sun Valley Trout Park, to be converted into a fish habitat preserve.

Getting environmental approval had been tricky, with Environment Canada noting the area is a known habitat for 10 federally endangered species, while specifically the provincially red-listed Oregon Forest-snail had been found on the site.

They’re well on the way to stopping the expan-sion of oil exports

to Asia. Now will B.C.’s American branch-plant envi-ronmental machine turn on natural gas?

A couple of weeks ago I described the dispute be-tween the Haisla Nation and the rest of the Coastal First Nations group over the pio-neering of liquefied natural gas development on Haisla territory at Kitimat. Power-ful chiefs of the Heiltsuk, Gitga’at, Haida and others in the so-called Great Bear Rainforest oppose the idea of kicking off a new LNG export industry without extending the hydro grid to support renewable power for the region.

LNG is shaping up as B.C.’s largest-ever industrial project, if it gets built. And there are signs the American-directed environmental at-tack is swinging to our gas boom.

Some in the Canadian media insist no such U.S. influence exists, or that it is trivial and benign. They mock federal Natural Re-sources Minister Joe Oliver’s

description of “foreign radi-cals,” pretending this applies to everyone opposed to oil pipelines.

There weren’t many re-porters with me when I covered the negotiations for the Great Bear Rainforest in 2006. To the Vancouver media it was just a big forest deal up in the mid-dle of nowhere. Along with B.C. cabinet minister Pat Bell, Coastal First Nations and forest companies, the Sierra Club, ForestEthics and Greenpeace mus-cled their way to the table.

How they did so became clear in early 2007. Behind these big three eco-propaganda groups was a $60-million war chest from an obscure outfit called Tides Canada.

Another front group, as it turns out. The actual source of the money was the Wil-liam and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the David and Lucille Packard Foundation, the Wilberforce Foundation,

the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the Rock-efeller Brothers Fund.

Most made their billions in computers and software in San Francisco or Seattle. They’ve funded scientifi-cally suspect campaigns such as “Yellowstone to Yukon” and “boreal forest” aimed

at turning more than a third of Canada into parks.

Increasingly, they are partnering with aboriginal people in B.C. and across Canada.

Some in B.C.’s major media have since grudgingly credited indepen-dent B.C. research-er Vivian Krause with filling in the blanks. She has shown that start-ing in 2002, these

foundations began formally organizing against Canadian fossil fuel production.

When the B.C. and Cana-dian governments matched the $60-million Great Bear Rainforest fund for “ecosys-tem-based” forest manage-ment, they didn’t realize they

were reinforcing a blockade against oil exports.

Their argument against oil exports centres on the sexy but false premise that Al-berta’s “tar sands” somehow uniquely threaten the global climate. Lately, as the size of B.C.’s gas development has become clearer, the protests have started to refocus.

ForestEthics, Sierra Club and Greenpeace, meanwhile, are campaigning against their original forest preserva-tion deal on B.C.’s Central and North Coast. Sustain-able development solutions aren’t good for their business model. If people think a problem is solved, they stop sending money.

Meanwhile, the U.S. is surging ahead with its own shale oil and gas boom. Plans are underway for LNG exports from the U.S. to Asia.

I think 2013 would be a good year for Canada to start making its own decisions on energy development.

Don’t let generosity fade after ChristmasThe new year is a time for second chances and

new beginnings. A time to reset and refocus, and plot a new course.

While the holidays remind of the importance of family, the dawn of 2013 offers us a chance for introspection.

With that in mind, what will you do to make Delta a better place this year?

How will you improve the lives and lot of your neighbours, strangers, friends, family and loved ones?

Volunteerism and public service is the most noble use of one’s spare time, and benefits the entire community.

But helping out doesn’t have to be an ordeal or a chore. It could be as simple as taking an el-derly neighbor’s dog for a walk, holding a door open, or helping someone with their groceries to their car.

For the more ambitious, there are dozens of service groups and non-profit charities based here in South Delta who would greatly appreci-ate your support.

Don’t let the generosity of the Christmas sea-son end as the new year dawns. Let it continue, and grow.

This year, let us think of each other, and put our own needs second, whenever possible.

And let us discover the value and satisfaction that comes with it.

- South Delta Leader

ONLY GOD IS PERFECTWe all have to realize that each of us has flaws and shortcomings, and we should accept others as they are, and in turn, hopefully, others will accept us as we are. However, this does not mean that we should not try to continually improve ourselves. We should always act and behave as God would want us to, and treat others as we would want to be treated. It is really a blessing from God to know oneself; however, it seems that we can usually find fault with others much easier than we can with ourselves. Seeing faults in others should induce us to correct our own weaknesses and help us strive to be more understanding and patient with those around us. Only God is perfect, but if we seek His will and try to be the best that we can be, we can each become better persons and more pleasing to our Heavenly Father.

Year in Review 2012

Several people tried to bridge the chasm between new tax dollars and the environment, suggesting the develop-ment should be limited to the eastern portion of the site, and kept away from the Silverdale wetlands which it borders.

The application was submitted under the comprehensive development zone to allow for two drive-thrus, which skirts around the district’s own bylaw prohibiting them. Two previous peti-tions have been forwarded to council opposing drive-thru restaurants, includ-ing a 794-signature petition last May.

MayThe third floor apartments at 33076

First Ave. were evacuated and closed by order of the B.C. fire commissioner May 23.

According to Mission Fire Rescue Service’s Asst. Chief Larry Watkinson, “extreme fire hazard conditions” pres-ent in the building prompted the depart-ment to seek the order.

Smoke alarms and bells were pulled off the walls and some of the fire breaks were breached, he said.

Residents were given notice at 9 a.m. that they had to leave by noon, and Mission Community Services was on scene helping people find alternate accommodations. Food and transporta-tion were also provided for any former residents, said Watkinson. Round the clock security has been arranged to keep any remaining possessions safe.

The fire department conducted 15 inspections over three months, and no compliance with orders to correct safe-ty concerns were heeded.

Only 10 similar orders were enacted across B.C. last year, as the process for approval is stringent, explained Watkinson.

June In a bid to trim costs, an administra-

tive restructuring happened at Mission Public Schools District (MPSD).

According to a district memo, the following positions were eliminated, some effective the end of June and others by July: Deputy superintendent: Brenda Lightburn; Director of instruc-tion (student learning): Graham Black; Vice-principal (student services): Cyn-die Anderson; Vice-principal (River-

side College): Rick Fitch; Director of school operations: Stan Weir; Custodial manager: Bert Bastiaansen; Payroll su-pervisor: Marie Schultze; School busi-ness managers: Marie Powell and Mary Shurko.

Lightburn has been seconded to the Ministry of Education for a year, but will not be returning to MPSD after-wards. Anderson and Fitch took other jobs in the district, while the remainder were laid off.

The work was split to others through-out the district.

According to trustee chair Edie Hein-richs, the changes are aimed at saving around $700,000.

She said the board “inherited a defi-cit of more than $900,000 with only three years to pay this back and have a projected shortfall of $1.2 million for next year.”

Heinrichs also noted that exempt staff levels have been rising in the past few years and that “if some of these cuts had been made in the previous years’ shortfalls, we would not have had to cut as deep.”

July California’s Mike Maggio shattered

the world record for the fastest record-ed speed with a door car in July in the final round of the West Coast Outlaw Pro Mods at Mission Raceway Park.

Maggio blasted through the quarter-mile strip at 261.09 mph, with an elapsed time of 5.90 in his Outlaw Camaro.

He won the Pro Mod part of the event in convincing fashion, and ran the quickest time in Western Canada in the process, 5.82 in the second qualifying run that weekend.

Maggio was the fastest all weekend long and left with one of the most cov-eted milestones in drag racing.

AugustMission’s Brent Hayden finally cap-

tured this past August the one swim-ming honour that had eluded him twice before.

The amicable pool powerhouse whose likeness graces a Mission Lei-sure Centre wall, fought off years of disappointment and secured Olympic immortality as he swam to a bronze in the 100m freestyle.

The District of Mission will be carrying out a smoke testing program in early 2013 within specified areas only. The goal is to identify possible cross connections, infiltration and inflow in the sanitary sewer system. During the smoke testing, field crews blow air and non-toxic smoke into the sanitary sewer system and monitor where smoke escapes.

The District of Mission’s contractor, ABC Pipe Cleaning Service Ltd., will deliver to all effected businesses and residences a notification brochure 48 hours prior to the testing. If you do not receive a notification then your area will not be covered under this program.

For further information please contact the District of Mission Engineering Department at 604-820-3736 or visit the District of Mission website, www.mission.ca for detailed information and the boundary area where the smoke testing will be performed.

Year in Review 2012September

Mission is considering a water metering system in order to maximize the

lifespan of the current supply.

The Strategic Long Term Water Supply and Demand Management Study, presented to coun-

cil in September, out-lined three options and recommended Mission and Abbotsford imple-ment Wise Water Man-agement (WWM) prin-

ciples, which encourages conservation and delay-ing the addition of a new resource for as long as possible.

The three scenarios are:

• Status quo. The dis-trict would continue to educate and raise aware-ness on the situation and offer rebates for low-flow toilets and high efficiency washing ma-chines. Mission would need a new water source around 2021.

• Moderate. This is a voluntary water meter program which would re-sult in about 18 per cent conservation, and would meet Mission’s needs until 2034.

• High. A universal res-idential water meter pro-gram would be phased in over three years and conserve about 37 per cent. Mission would not need a new water source until around 2041.

The study, presented by Mike Younie, re-vealed a single family residential home in Mis-sion uses about 60 per cent more water than an equivalent Abbotsford home.

Mission is using 466 litres of water per person per day, compared to Ab-botsford’s 293 litres in 2011, said Younie, add-ing there are signs Ab-botsford’s use has now declined to about 220.

“Mission has no in-centive to conserve with a flat rate,” explained Younie.

Abbotsford has had universal water metering in place for decades and upgraded to a radio read system last year.

Younie said there

isn’t a water crisis yet, and using WWM, there won’t be one for 10 to 20 years.

He is recommending the district proceed with a universal water meter-ing program.

When the district ex-plored the issue a few years ago, a cost estimate of $12 million was quot-ed, but Younie said that is a very rough ballpark figure today.

In less than two years the district will have saved up about $6 mil-lion from Community Works Gas Tax Funds for this project, and look at internal borrowing before going to external sources, he said. There are also grants the dis-trict can apply for from senior governments.

Mission will not have funds to contribute to a new water source for 20 years and the dis-trict needs to make that clear to Abbotsford, said Younie.

The study also recom-mends examining new water sources, especially ones that would enhance the existing system, such as the one at Cannell Lake.

The report is being presented to the Mis-sion Abbotsford Water Sewer Commission, both councils, and the public. Mission council wants to consult with residents about a water metering system before deciding.

The full report is avail-able at mission.ca and will be presented at Mis-sion council’s Communi-ty Dialogue session, Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. at the Leisure Centre.

OctoberMission’s mayor in-

troduced legislation to scrap the Public Safety Inspection Team (PSIT) by year’s end.

The district isn’t using the bylaw and it’s just sit-ting in the books, Mayor Ted Adlem explained.

“There is no PSIT team now, nor will there ever be one under my watch,” he added.

The PSIT bylaw has been contentious since its 2008 inception. The bylaw was created to ad-dress concerns regarding clandestine drug labs and marijuana grow opera-tions, allowing the dis-trict to penalize property owners whose homes are found to be altered to produce illegal drugs, like marijuana and meth-amphetamine.

The team visited homes based on data from BC Hydro indicat-ing unusually high power consumption.

Property owners whose homes were suspected of housing illegal substanc-es were charged $4,900 for the inspection and a $300 administration fee. Additional remediation inspections were $250.

The team was put on hold indefinitely in Janu-ary 2011 and every file, except for ones initiated by police, is being re-viewed.

The review wasn’t completed by the end of the year, said Adlem, who noted it is being worked on weekly.

NovemberAbout 130 people at-

tended the inaugural downtown planning ses-sion in November, which marked the first step to-wards creating a plan to reshape the First Avenue area.

An open house start-ed off the night, where the public was able to read the storyboards and speak to some of the consultants and plan-ners from HB Lanarac, the company tasked with formulating the plan.

A brief presentation by project manager Joaquin Karakas explained some of the challenges, oppor-tunities and realities of the plan.

“Downtowns are the heart of the community and a source of local pride,” he noted.

There needs to be a mix of uses, including housing, institutional, educational, and parks, all while attracting a combination of seniors and young adults to in-habit the area, said Kara-kas.

The downtown is the “living room of the com-munity, and a well de-signed downtown is im-portant to protect the pri-vate investment” in the area, he continued.

On the challenges side, Karakas said the percep-tion of crime is a prob-lem for all downtowns.

“If people don’t feel safe, they won’t come,” he said.

Also, the highway run-ning through is a chal-lenge, coupled with a lack of activity outside of regular business hours.

“The downtown needs to be safe throughout the

PUBLIC NOTICECOMMUNITY GRANT APPLICATIONS

Each year, the District of Mission includes a limited amount of funding in its annual budget to provide grants in support of Mission based community groups engaged in arts, cultural, recreational or social services activities. All grant applications received are reviewed by the Municipal Grants Select Committee, which subsequently makes recommendations to Council regarding grant awards and amounts. The deadline for submitting completed grant applications to the District of Mission is March 1 of each year. Incomplete applications cannot be considered, and therefore applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible to ensure that their applications are complete before the deadline. Grant application forms, eligibility requirements and application procedures are available on the website (www.mission.ca) or from the Administration Department, Municipal Hall, 8645 Stave Lake Street, Mission, BC, telephone (604) 820-3700.

day,” Karakas said. More life can be brought down with more housing and pubs, for example.

The project lead said there are lots of oppor-tunities for the area, but one of the key problems is the underappreciation of the economic impor-tance of downtown, and the overemphasis on beautification.

The downtown plan, which is currently in the first of three phases, will use the information from the open house to frame discussions around how Mission’s area should look.

In the second phase, the vision, principles and concept plan for the downtown will be cre-ated through a series of public and stakeholder workshops, including the downtown design char-rette Jan. 16-17. (See box for additional informa-tion.)

Based on phases one and two, a comprehen-sive plan will be devel-

oped that will include policies, guidelines and implementation strate-gies.

Additionally, a mass e-mail list ([email protected]) has been compiled and receivers can suggest people to add, or forward the mes-sage, and the receiver can request to be included in future disseminations. This e-mail can also be used to send suggestions and feedback to consul-tants.

DecemberMission’s own world-

famous singer Carly Rae Jepsen was back home this month for a high-energy concert at the Clarke Theatre.

Playing a selection of her hits, including This Kiss and Call Me Maybe, Jepsen performed for the hometown crowd of ap-preciative fans that near-ly packed the venue.

Speaking to The Re-cord before the concert, Larry Jepsen, Carly Rae’s father, said she’s

“always been so grate-ful for the support from Mission.”

The 27-year-old dou-ble Grammy nominee was thrilled to be able to put on a show for her local fans, he continued.

Among Carly Rae’s list of positive influences in her musical career is Heritage Park Secondary School drama teacher Bev Holmes.

“This is totally excit-ing and totally fun,” said Holmes before the music began, noting that Carly Rae has maintained a happy and humble atti-tude about her runaway success. “That’s still who she is.”

The free concert was brought to Mission by retailer Target, which handed out tickets last Tuesday at the Leisure Centre.

• It was deju vu all over again, but reversed.

Mission Secondary School’s junior varsity football squad beat the Abbotsford Panthers in the Subway Bowl in mid-December, handing them a 20-18 loss and earning the provincial championship title.

Later in the day, the varsity team faced off against the South Delta Sun Devils and lost.

Last year, it was the opposite, with varsity taking top spot, and the JVs earning second.

This marked the fourth straight year the JVs have played in the finals, said coach John Kapty, who along with coaches Glen Roberts and Ray Jung have now earned three titles.

“It feels great. Just as good as the first time.”

It was tied 8-8 at the

half, but the turning point came after an unfortu-nate injury to Abbots-ford’s quarterback.

Mission quarterback Jesse Walker scored all three touchdowns and earned most valuable player honours.

Bryce Fillion rushed for 101 “difficult” yards in the game.

Kane Freestone-Smith was named best lineman for his efforts on both sides of the ball that in-cluded a tackle in the end zone for a two-point safety. Bicky Gill was the top receiver with five catches for 70 yards. Linebacker Peter Kulba led the defense with 13 tackles, and Dayton Rob-ertson had nine tackles. Landon Rayburn had two interceptions defensively and Danny Jung had one.

“It’s so great to the see the kids get rewarded for their hard work. We ask a lot of our play-ers on and off the field,” Kapty said. “This team continued to work hard and get better. That’s the formula for success in JV football.”

VarsityThe season-long drive

for the second consecu-tive varsity provincial championship started to unravel quickly in the fourth quarter in Decem-ber, according to head coach Kevin Watrin.

“It was a hard-fought championship game, and the score was not indica-tive of the game,” he said about the 31-14 loss.

The Roadrunners start-ed slow, falling behind 11-0 in the first quarter,

but scored in the second, going into the half trail-ing 11-7.

The senior team made a stab at a comeback and took the lead early in the third, 17-14, before a series of fourth quarter turnovers resulted in a “quick inflation of the score, said Watrin. This included South Delta blocking a punt, then the Roadrunners fumbling the kickoff which al-lowed the Sun Devils to put another touchdown on the score card.

On season stalwart quarterback Kevin Wiens, Watrin opined that the graduating play-er deserved the player of the year honour.

“We are proud of how our boys never gave up and always gave their all on every play,” said Watrin.

The Mission Secondary School junior varsity football team won the Subway Bowl at the beginning of December, making them the 2012 provincial champions. Above: Jesse Walker was named the most valuable player. The varsity team also earned the right to play in its provincial final, but fell to the South Delta Sun Devils.

7 OBITUARIES

HARTL, Rudolf EdwardAfter the recent loss of his be-loved wife, Beatrice, with whomhe shared 61 years of mar-riage, and a short struggle with Lung Cancer, Rudolf Edward Hartl, known as “Gus” Hartl, passed away peacefully at McKenney Creek Hospice Residence in Maple Ridge, on December 21st, 2012. Gus was born on a farm in Sas-katchewan on October 10th, 1929. After a 25 year RCMP career, during which he also maintained a small grain farm in Saskatchewan, he retired at the age of 46, to a 10 acre hobby farm in Aldergrove. Uti-lizing his RCMP experience, Gus then worked with the Pro-bation Services and helped establish a community work program in the Fraser Valley for young offenders, to per-form community services, rath-er than being incarcerated or on probation. Following that project, Gus initiated and com-pleted residential real estate developments in Aldergrove, Abbotsford and Mission. He spent the winter months each year at his Arizona home for the past 25 years, and made many friends there from acrossCanada and the USA. Gus was the most sociable person you’d ever meet, and relation-ships with family and friends were always the most impor-tant priorities in his life. He is lovingly remembered by sons Philip (Linda), Doug (Poona), Bob (Pat), Dennis, and Gus (Brenda); grandchildren Trevor Hartl (Amanda), Jennifer Bajic (Ante), Douglas Hartl (Christi-na), Navada Taylor (Stephen), Janelle Hartl (Andrew), Jared Hartl, Serena Hartl (James), Whitney Pollock (Justin), Jessica German (Brad), and Meagan Hartl; great grandchil-dren Luka, Spencer, Ben, Cate, Taylin, Olivia, Hudson, and Quinn; sisters Elsie Smith, Edna Hornett (Jim), Bertha Kenny (Al); as well as many loving nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.He is predeceased by his par-ents Philip and Maria, his loving wife Beatrice, his son David, and his brother Albert.A Funeral Mass will be held at Sts. Joachim and Ann Catholic Church at 2827 - 273rd Street, Aldergrove, BC, at 2:00 PM on Friday, January 4th, 2012.In lieu of fl owers, please con-sider a donation in his memory to the BC Cancer Foundation or the charity of your choice.
