Carol AunMISSION RECORD

The District of Mission is tight-ening up regulations on where guns can be fired and increasing the penalty for anyone caught violating the rules.

Council passed the first three readings of the new firearms bylaw, which classifies all areas of the municipality as one of four zones.

The majority of the district is marked as Area A, where shoot-ing is prohibited. Area B covers Matsqui Island and the Silver-dale area west of Nelson Street between the CP tracks and the Fraser River, where only shot-guns firing pellets are permit-ted.

Area C, described as the Hoover Lake area, allows the use of a shotgun with shot or single projectile.

There are two areas described as D – in the West Stave Lake area between logging roads Rockwell and Kearsley (accessed off Florence Lake Forest Ser-vice Road); and north of Cannell Lake. Both will allow the use of rifles or shotguns.

Target shooting continues to be prohibited in the district, except at a legal shooting range.

The use of firearms is no lon-ger permitted near Sayres Lake, Bear Mountain or the area near the Cannell Lake Community Watershed.

After some debate, councillors also voted to ban the use of fire-arms on Red Mountain, except at the Mission and District Rod and Gun Club on Dewdney Trunk Road, across from Mill Pond. Red Mountain is roughly the area between Dewdney Trunk Road on the east and Shaw Street on the west, and from the Mission landfill to Keystone Avenue.

There are 25 kilometres of trails on Red Mountain, said Mayor Ted Adlem, who favoured excluding the area from firearm use.

“It’s a recreation area more than, I think, a hunting area.”

Adlem said the rod and gun club is a “positive” organization and the intent is not to harm it.

Coun. Nelson Tilbury agreed, but noted club members do feel

Drop-off Options for Spring Clean-up Leftovers

The Mission Record Friday, May 9, 2014 3


The district will not be proceeding with an external review to exam-ine and evaluate staff-ing issues and Mission’s operational capabilities.

The motion received unanimous support when it was introduced by Coun. Nelson Tilbury at an April 14 committee of the whole meeting, however, most coun-cillors changed their minds Monday night when they were asked to formally adopt the recommendation at a regular council meeting.

Tilbury was the only one opposed to revers-ing the decision. Coun. Jeff Jewell was absent from the meeting.

Tilbury said he’s dis-appointed with the deci-sion, but is satisfied the issue of low staff morale and bullying by coun-cil is being recognized and addressed. He still believes the district has lost “key people” with major knowledge and expertise about Mis-sion to resignations and retirements in the past two and a half years.

Last month, The Record reported that nine senior managers have left the District of Mission since the last election in 2011. Last

week, Mission’s director of long-range planning, Sharon Fletcher, also announced her retire-ment.

“When you lose key people, it makes a dif-ference (to the district’s operational capabili-ties),” said Tilbury.

“I’m disappointed we’re going backwards on this … but at the

same time I do know everyone is taking this much more seriously now. If this is what it takes to start treating everybody right, OK, I’m fine with it. It’s unfortu-nate we’ll never see what the report would’ve had, but it doesn’t really mat-ter. What matters is the place becomes a better place.”

Coun. Jenny Stevens explained she had just returned from holidays when the issue was first raised and voted in favour of an exter-nal review because she thought there was a “cri-sis on staffing.

“I voted at the time on what I knew,” she said. After two weeks of

research and a review of a staff report on resigna-tions and retirements in the district in the past six years, Stevens con-cluded there are prob-lems, but no crisis.

“There have certainly been some instances of harassment – and I have to say it’s mainly council responsible for that where they have

been treading across the line … Most offenders have admitted fault and promised to put things right.

“Our CAO (chief administrative officer) has a very good plan in hand now to address those issues and for us to do better.”

Council is on track, and there are always difficulties with restruc-turing, Stevens added. “Trust your council, they are seeing to it. Trust your staff, they are see-ing to it … Therefore we don’t need to bring in a consultant to iden-tify what we’ve already identified.”

Mission’s CAO Ken Bjorgaard told The

Record council gave permission to release a report about staff depar-tures and vacancies to the public, but said it will not be available until the next council meeting on May 20.

According to Bjor-gaard, the report con-tains figures for staff departures and vacan-cies broken down by

employee groups, such as full-time, part-time, and auxiliary, as well as the reasons for leaving.

Figures provided to The Record by the Dis-trict of Mission in March stated 74 people left from 2009-2011, and 62 departed from 2012 to March 2014. The turn-over data includes all employee groups, such as full- and part-time, seasonal and temporary.

The numbers break down as follows:

• 2009, 13 people left (five full-time), two retired.

• 2010, 19 departed (12 full-time), five retired.

• 2011, 30 left (11 full-time), five retired.

• 2012, 25 departed (12

full-time), two retired.• 2013, 20 people left

(18 full-time), 10 retired.• 2014 (as of March 3),

four people left the dis-trict (four full-time), and one retired.

The report will clear things up, said Coun. Dave Hensman, who asked if Couns. Tony Luck and Tilbury would retract their statements they made about staff departures being an “alarming trend.”

“It’s not a trend,” said Hensman. “It’s simply an ebb and flow.”

Both councillors stood by their statements.

“At the time I saw things I was worried about,” said Luck. “We’re not just talking about numbers here, we’re looking at people’s emo-tion as well and the way they’ve been treated … there was an alarming trend.”

Discussions behind closed doors didn’t solve anything, and it “finally got to a point it had to come out in pub-lic,” Luck continued. “If we keep things behind closed doors, people think they can get away with things.”

Luck agreed things have changed for the better.

“It’s pleasant around here again.”

External staff review cancelled

If we keep things behind closed doors, people think they can get away with things.

Bill Murphy was a quiet person who kept to himself most of the time.

According to his neighbours at the mobile home community in the 32300 block of Lougheed Highway, 86-year-old Murphy was a “good guy” and “very pleasant.”

He died last week in a deliberately set fire that consumed his trailer, and neighbours and friends are still in dis-belief.

The retired ironworker was originally from Prince Edward Island, and had a half-brother and nephew who lived close by.

“Everyone was friendly with him,” said Sylvia Cruickshanks, who lived across the driveway from Murphy.

“You couldn’t find a nicer person,” added Herman Spanell, who

moved to the park four years ago. Murphy was already living there at the time.

He had trouble walk-ing and other health problems, said Spanell.

“Bill was lonely,” shared Brent White, who visited his friend several times a week, but didn’t live at the park. “He used to call me three times a day every day and we’d just talk. He never had many friends.”

White met Murphy 23 years ago when they lived across from one another on Cherry Ave-nue. White is from Nova Scotia and the Maritim-ers developed an instant bond.

Even after Murphy moved away from his Cherry Avenue home more than 10 years ago, the two friends contin-ued to see each other regularly.

“He didn’t have fam-

ily,” explained White. “I was more family to him than anyone else.”

As Murphy’s health deteriorated over the past couple of years, White visited more often. He drove him to the grocery store, the bank, doctor’s appoint-ments, and anywhere else Murphy needed. At one point, White jok-ingly told his friend he wasn’t his personal taxi driver.

Murphy loved to make people laugh, recalled White, who chuckled every time Murphy told the same jokes and stories. “It would make his day if he made you laugh.”

Murphy was also a very caring man, said White. “He’s the nicest guy in the world. He never said anything bad about anyone. He had a heart of gold … I can’t imagine anyone who

would want to hurt him.”Homicide investiga-

tors continue to probe the cause of a fatal fire that occurred around 5 a.m. on April 30. The RCMP’s Integrated Homi-cide Investigation Team(IHIT) was called in after local police and fire offi-cials determined the blaze was intentionallyset.

you the

isolated.Coun. Tony Luck

was the only council-lor opposed to remov-ing the area, which was listed as part of Area C in a map pre-sented to council.

“I suggest a trial period,” said Luck. “I think eventually the club will feel the squeeze, but not because of this, but because of develop-ment. I think we have to look for a different area for them any-way.”

Adlem noted the

club is surrounded by Mission’s tree farm, and Coun. Dave Hens-man agreed develop-ment in the area is “a long time away.”

Rod and gun club members are never the problem, said Hensman.

“I know not many of us (around the coun-cil table) hike around Red Mountain, but it’s very popular and that’s my concern,” said Adlem.

Fines for violat-ing the bylaw will increase from a min-imum of $100 to $500.

The new bound-aries were proposed by the Discharge of Firearms Bylaw Task Force, which was formed last summer after Mission council suggested banning the use of firearms throughout the dis-trict, except at the Mission and District Rod and Gun Club. At the time, council, dis-trict staff, and RCMP were concerned the use of firearms in the Stave Lake area was not compatible with other recreational uses (non-hunting)

being promoted, such as visiting the Zajac Ranch, camping at Sayres Lake and the proposed Tim Horton Children’s Foundation Camp.

The task force included represen-tatives from council, RCMP, and Mission forestry department, as well as stakehold-ers and user groups, such as the Zajac Ranch, Mission and District Rod and Gun Club, Mission Horse Club, Right Nuts ATV club, and BC Wildlife Federation.

Fines hiked to $500FROM 1

Less than 16 hours after the launch of the City Watch Program, municipal employees detected a break-in in progress.

The program kicked off at 10 a.m. April 29, and later that day, a Dis-trict of Mission employee saw a suspect breaking into a downtown business. The employee called Mis-sion RCMP, who were able to inter-rupt the crime and recover the sto-

len property.Mission CUPE workers have now

been trained in observing and reporting suspicious or criminal activities while out doing their regu-lar duties. Employees have two-way radios in their vehicles, and when they see criminal or suspicious activity, they call their dispatcher on a priority basis and the call gets transferred to the RCMP.

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

Mission’s new firearms bylaw is nearly locked and loaded.

It will ban target shooting throughout the dis-trict, except at a bonafide range, and also restrict certain areas to shotgun use only.

It’s a sound, reasonable piece of legislation that will address a number of ongoing concerns about use of firearms in the district, particularly the Stave Lake area, while still allowing hunters and recreational shooters to enjoy their sports.

The district approached the initiative in the right way as well. Rather than make arbitrary decisions based on purely a council perspective, a task force was formed, involving key stake-holders. What resulted is a bylaw that saw the first three readings pass on Monday night with-out public concern.

No doubt there will be some who don’t like the fact they aren’t free to take their guns into the bush and shoot at random.

Yet as the situation at Stave Lake made abun-dantly clear, such uncontrolled shooting makes for a destructive, dangerous situation.

When the bylaw receives official status, the message should be driven home in the Stave area – if you’re caught illegally target shooting, you’ll be paying a $500 fine, no excuses or sec-ond chances.

This was a well-executed initiative.The same cannot be said, however, in regard

to recent concerns over a staffing exodus from the district hall.

To date, 10 senior managers have left in the past two and half years, with another announcement of an early retirement just last week. Noting the “alarming trend” of departures of district employees with deep experience and skills, allegedly due in part to micromanaging at senior levels and bullying by council, Coun. Nel-son Tilbury received full support in his call for an external review of the situation, and council agreed.

On Monday, however, that decision was reversed, with councillors now apparently con-tent that the issue is being addressed.

It is unclear what exactly has changed. It is even less obvious why what can only be viewed as a disturbingly high number of departures is no longer of acute concern.

How does the public know that the situation has been adequately addressed, or for that mat-ter, fully understood?

An external review would have cast light on those questions, and brought a level of transpar-ency and accountability to the issue. As it now stands, the public is being told “trust council, trust staff.”

Trust is a word that should be used with the utmost of discretion in politics.

A hit and a miss for council

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:Do you approve of the changes to the firearms discharge bylaw?To answer, go to the Home page of our website: www.missioncityrecord.com

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:Do you support the increase in councillors’ and the mayor’s salary?Here’s how you responded: Yes 10% No 90%

‘Vocational school’ back in style

The B.C. government has rolled out its ambi-tious overhaul of the public education system, from kindergarten to graduate school, much to the horror of its left-wing establishment.

The formal title is B.C.’s Skills For Jobs Blue-print: Re-engineering Education and Training. It’s designed to dovetail with the Harper re-gime’s Canada Job Grant that requires employ-ers to co-sponsor training spaces so they will hire the students at the end.

Elementary and middle school curriculum is being revised to increase emphasis on hands-on experience. High school and post-second-ary skilled trades programs are getting more money, but it’s going to be shifted from un-der-performing programs that don’t lead to jobs.

Premier Christy Clark took another swipe at the bias of B.C.’s system before heading to Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong on another

liquefied natural gas sales trip. She noted that 20 per cent of B.C. students, and nearly half of aboriginal students, don’t finish high school.

“Not only are there kids who don’t graduate, there are kids who graduate, go out and get one or two credentials before they finally find their way into a skills training program,” said Clark, who had her own wander through university campuses before going into politics.

A couple of weeks ago, Simon Fraser Univer-sity president Andrew Petter downplayed the “relatively small” skilled trades shortage for B.C. industry.

“We should not be engaged in a zero-sum kind of battle for dollars,” Petter protested. That’s exactly what he and other university executives are looking at, and it will be based on the latest graduate employment data and labour demand forecasts.

One of the key architects of this sweeping plan is Jessica McDonald, who shook up the public service while serving as Gordon Camp-bell’s deputy minister.

Her report on trades training confirms what Campbell’s critics in the labour movement have long said: the government’s 10-year ex-periment with the Industry Training Authority is a rudderless mess.

“Certain partners, particularly organized labour, feel marginalized,” McDonald wrote. “Others, particularly employers and employ-ers’ associations, do not feel heard within the

system. Over the recent past, several new di-rections have been introduced such as de-reg-ulation of trades and modular training that have caused strain because they were not fully inclusive during development, were seen to benefit single interests, and they impacted the whole system.”

The ITA board is being replaced, with union representation restored, and advisory councils from industrial employers will update their hiring needs.

The B.C. Federation of Labour and the con-struction unions have all but abandoned the NDP after Adrian Dix’s disastrous pitch for urban anti-industry votes last year. B.C. Fed president Jim Sinclair was an early advocate for

rescuing skilled trades from the second-class status they received in a culture fixated on university for two generations.

That culture has created glaring problems. There are too many institutions offering the same courses. As with health care, block fund-ing is handed out without any serious effort to measure the results. For many students, university has become an extension of adoles-cence, finding one’s self through philosophy or film studies.

Employers get their share of blame from Mc-Donald. Not only did they chop up trades train-ing to make it cheaper to obtain, their preferred source of skilled workers has been to poach from other employers who paid to train them.

Skills-based employment data will be made public for students to make career choices. Finally, students coming out of high school will have a way to assess what they can ex-pect after $50,000 or more is spent on higher education.

It’s about time.

I’m a mother of three children attend-ing West Heights Com-munity School. I need to express my anger and outrage at the way people are disrespect-ing and abusing the building and grounds of our school.

For days I have been picking up shards of glass spread through-out the school yard. Whether the glass is from vandals smashing windows or throwing bottles, I’m sick and tired of having to worry about my child’s safety

at their own school. We have to dodge

speeders on the road on our walk to school, avoid being cut by glass, and look at boarded windows.

I don’t understand what is wrong with people. How can any-

one put children at risk? There are some com-

pletely daft and igno-rant people out there, who prove nothing through their actions but their own stupidity.

Re: Mounties step up patrols at Stave Lake, April 25 edition.

I am writing in regards to your story about the police stepping up patrols in the West Stave Lake area as your headline is over the picture of a four-wheel drive vehicle.

This makes a direct impli-cation that police are crack-ing down on people who engage in 4x4 recreation in the West Stave area.

This isn’t the case.It becomes evident as you

read through the article. The crackdown is directly related to “widespread illegal gun activity, vandalism and gar-bage dumping.” There is also mention of an unlicensed motorcycle. None of this is related to the four-wheel drive vehicle pictured. Police are not cracking down on this activity.

What also isn’t mentioned is that the Four Wheel Drive Association of BC hosts clean-ups of this very forest ser-vice road system to address the garbage dumping, and we have been doing it for the last 12 years. During this time, our volunteers have removed more than 120,000 kg of gar-bage and steel. That is 120 tonnes of garbage removed by nearly 5,000 volunteer hours over those years.

The Four Wheel Drive Association of BC is working directly with the District of Mission and the representa-tives from other important proponents of the Interpre-tive Forest initiative to secure 4x4 access for the residents of Mission and all British Colum-bians to this public land.

Kim Reeves President, Four Wheel

Drive Association of BC

YOUR VIEWSPutting children at risk

Misdirection is a ploy used to direct your attention at some irrele-vant distraction instead of what’s happening right in front of you.

Mr. Trustham’s response to my earlier letter is full of misdirec-tion. His personal attack on me is intended to direct attention away from the fiasco happen-ing right in front of us at city hall. His opin-ion of me, my 35-year award-winning career, and my so-called legacy is completely irrelevant to the problem at hand.

Mr. Trustham sees

Any “fog” about all of this is caused only by a lack of insight.

Mr. Trustham clearly supports these archaic, stone-age management practices. I do not. I expect most people would agree that staff deserve to be treated with respect and dig-nity, just as they would like to be.

I expect most people would agree that the loss of such extensive knowledge and experi-ence is a bad thing, not a good thing.

I do not know on what Mr. Trustham bases his

“fog.” My observation of a crisis of leadership and management at the district is clear. The seri-ous and expensive staff exodus due to bullying and micromanaging by the mayor, council and the CAO is clear. The collapse of staff morale and the resulting loss of dedication and pro-ductivity is clear. The fact that a majority of councillors adopted a vote of non-confidence in the mayor is clear. My concern regarding a dysfunctional council behaving worse than children is clear.

views. I base mine on my observations, and many conversations with the people who have suffered through this misadventure. It is shameful treatment that should not be tol-erated.

Council is now engag-ing an expensive con-sultant to discover how to “repair relationships with staff.” I suggest that a quick glance in any mirror will reveal both the problem and the solution.

Dennis Clark(former corporate

administration)

Council should look in mirror

In response to Bob Trustham’s let-ter on May 2, as a proud union mem-ber, I take it very personal that he places all of the district’s poor finan-cial accountability on the backs of the CUPE members here in Mission.

I find it very offensive and disre-spectful to once again read a letter blaming the workers for any of this. It is this type of right-wing thinking that has gotten municipalities and other governments in financial trou-ble. It is their right-wing agenda and policies that have created this mess.

Stop blaming the working middle class. We did not create these prob-lems. Good-paying jobs, not only in the public sector, are good for the local economy.

Our elected politicians need to fol-low this simple guideline: Tax fairly, spend wisely and regulate to protect the people. Make your politicians accountable, at all levels of govern-ment.

Maintaining sobriety after struggling through years of addiction is no small feat, but if any-thing can motivate, it’s a mother-child bond.

Mona, 47, of Mission, is no stranger to these difficulties. She entered alcohol and drug recov-ery for the first time at Union Gospel Mission’s Lydia Home in 2005. Despite having deep-seated addictions for decades, she has stayed clean and sober for nine years without a relapse. A motivating factor in Mona’s life is build-ing a healthy relation-ship with her 14-year-old daughter Catalina. By focusing on Cata-lina, Mona is giving her daughter the childhood she never had herself.

Mona started drink-ing at age seven, when she would sneak alcohol from her mother, who herself was struggling with alcoholism. Mona was kicked out at age nine. Homeless on the streets of Chilliwack, she had to steal food, clothes, and other essen-tials for survival. Due to her theft, Mona spent

time in youth detention, and was subsequently tossed between group homes.

Mona lived in many cities in her adulthood across North America before ending up back in Mission, when she became pregnant. With the help from Catalina’s grandparents, Mona was able to raise her child, but she was too deep in her addictions to reach her full potential as a mother.

After years of this difficult lifestyle, Mona finally was ready to get clean and attempt to build a relationship with her daughter. A group of loyal friends helped her enter into the program at Lydia Home.

“I could not have made it without the staff,” Mona explained.Once she completed her three-month stay, she had a five-year-old daughter waiting for her.

“When I left recovery I was totally scared. What do you do with a kid? For the first time in my life I acknowledged my little girl.”

Despite her fears, Mona successfully nav-igated parenthood and

built a strong connec-tion with her daughter.As Catalina remembers,“she was actually theretrying to cook for me andtalk to me. It felt really different… I was happy.”

To this day, Mona is actively working on her parenting skills. She takes weekly parenting classes where she learnshow to communicatewith teenagers.

“I want to listen to mydaughter,” says Mona. “Iwant it to be different forher than it was for me. I want her to have what I didn’t have – an educa-tion and a mother.”

Mother’s Day is par-ticularly meaningfulfor Catalina and Mona. It’s not just a chance to spend time together, but a benchmark of the extremely positive strides Mona has made.

Through its seven loca-tions in Metro Vancou-ver and Mission, UnionGospel Mission providescounselling, education, safe housing, and alco-hol and drug recovery to those struggling with poverty, homelessness and addiction.

Every Hatzic Sec-ondary School (HSS) student who partic-

ipated in the World-strides Heritage Music Festival in Seattle last weekend helped bring home a medal.

The Affirmation Vocal Jazz Choir won gold, the Chamber Choir and the Jazz Band each took home

a silver, and the Con-cert Band earned a bronze. Grade 12 stu-dent Lauren Berg was also named top vocal-ist at the festival.

A total of 59 stu-dents made the trip.

“I knew they all did really well, but I was still surprised,” said

Joseph Heslip, one of three music teachers who trained the stu-dents, ranging from Grades 8 to 12. “It’s a fairly prestigious fes-tival and it was one of the largest ones (Seattle) had — there were two awards din-ners.”

Participants from across the USA and Canada competed.

Heslip said Berg’s honour came as a surprise to the Hatzicgroup because they did not know aboutthe award.

Berg had impressedjudges with her ren-dition of Frank Sina-tra’s Come Fly WithMe during a solo per-formance with the Vocal Jazz Choir.

“She did reallygood,” said Heslip.“I’m sure it’s the first of many awards forher. She will go on to do great things.”

Hatzic students compete in a musicfestival every year. Last year the Vocal Jazz Choir also wongold at an event inWhistler, but this year’s accomplish-ments have raisedthe bar, added Heslip.

“I’ve had the plea-sure of working with great groups (of stu-dents) in the past, butthe chemistry anddesire was strong thisyear,” he said. “The kids loved it and theyworked hard at it.”

Heslip said his stu-dents will continueto impress as Grade8 and 9 musicians who were part of this year’s competition improve.

“We have lots of upand comers,” he said.

Lactating mothers are urged to consider donating some of their milk to help oth-ers who aren’t able to breastfeed their own babies.

Fraser Health has opened 10 new human milk donation depots at public health units in Hope, Agassiz, Mis-sion, Langley, Clover-dale, Guildford, North Surrey, New Westmin-ster, Port Moody and Burnaby, in addition to existing ones in Chilli-wack, Abbotsford and Maple Ridge.

Women who have been screened can collect breast milk at home, freeze it and donate it at those locations.

It’s transported to the provincial milk bank at BC Women’s Hospital where it’s pooled, processed and pasteurized.

Most of the donated milk goes to feed pre-mature and sick babies in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) who are at high risk of illness and infection.

“With Mother’s Day just around the cor-ner, we are asking all breastfeeding moms to consider giving the gift of health to our most fragile patients by donating their breastmilk,” said Fra-ser Health project development nurse Sidney Harper.

A devastating bowel disease called necro-tizing enterocolitis is much more common in premature babies that are fed formula instead of human breast milk.

Mothers in some cases struggle to pro-vide milk or aren’t per-mitted to as a result of illness or medications they use.

Fraser Health plans

to open dispensaries at Royal Columbian and Surrey Memo-rial hospitals to store and provide the donor human milk.

Frances Jones, coor-dinator of the provin-cial milk bank at B.C. Women’s, said the aim is to meet all requests for donor milk from the NICUs at Surrey and Royal Columbian.

The World Health Organization rec-ommends babies get only breast milk until they’re six months old and that they con-tinue to be breast fed with other nutritious foods added until at least two years.

For more informa-tion on how to donate see bcwomensmilk-bank.ca.

Here are tips on how to shop in a smart manner.

• Do some sleuthing.• Check expiration

dates. • Avoid “final sale”

items. It can be tempt-ing to peruse the deep-discount rack at Mom’s favourite store when retailers cut prices on items in anticipation of a new season. However, these sales may come with restrictions on returns or exchanges. Unless you know Mom will like what you pick out, avoid the “final sale” racks.

• Ask for a price match. In an effort to keep a loyal customer base, many stores will price match against competitors’ ads. If you feel more comfortable at a certain store, print out the advertised price and bring it to your favorite store.

There are different ways to make shopping for Mother’s Day gifts a little easier and guaran-tee the best experience for Mom as well.

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and this special holi-day serves to honour all those women who devote so much time and effort to their fam-ilies.

While gifts and other trinkets are certainly part of the celebration, a vast majority of chil-dren opt to treat Mom to a night out on the town.

A vast number of families travel to their favourite restaurants for Mother’s Day meals. Mother’s Day is one of the busiest holidays of the year for restaurants. The National Retail Federation says 54.8 per cent of Americans treat their mothers to a spe-cial meal out on Moth-er’s Day. With large crowds to be expected, diners can follow a few tips when treating Mom to a meal.

• Book early. To guar-antee a reservation at any restaurant, you will need to make a reserva-tion well in advance of Mother’s Day. It’s never too early to put your name on the reserva-tion list.

• Expect to wait. Even with a reservation, you’re bound to spend some time waiting at the restaurant. Other families may be linger-ing at their tables, as no one wants to rush Mom out of the door. Plan accordingly for a poten-tially long wait time.

• Consider dining out a day before or after. Restaurants are gener-ally packed on Mother’s Day, and as a result kitchen and wait staffs might be overtaxed. What’s more, diners might be relegated to a special or abbreviated menu. If you want a more relaxed setting and the ability to order whatever you desire, it may be a better idea to celebrate Mother’s Day in advance. Then have Mom enjoy a relaxing day at home on her special day.

• Take-out is an option. Families can treat Mom to a dinner out, without really hav-ing to go out.

• Expect an included gratuity. Restaurants often include a gratuity

in the bill when servic-ing larger parties, such as those that might be celebrating Mother’s Day.

• Hire a sitter for young kids. Although Mother’s Day is a chance for the entire

family to spend time together, the main goal is to ensure Mom’s comfort and happiness. If very young children are in tow, she may not be able to relax and enjoy her meal.

Dining on Mother’s Day

Make reservations early if you’re taking Mom out for a special Mother’s Day meal.

APPRECIATE YOUR MOTHER

It seems that a person can more fully appreciate their mother once they become a parent. At this point, they gain firsthand experience of what their mother did for them while they were growing up. A saintly mother is truly a blessing to her family, and the moral and ethical standards that she reflects to her children will be carried with them throughout their lives. Nothing changes a person’s life more than having children, and becoming a mother can be the most challenging, yet rewarding responsibility a woman will ever have. Since children tend to stereotype things, they may believe that all mothers are the same; however, each mother is unique and special in her own loving way. The Bible tells us that we should never forget what our mothers have taught us. We should keep their words always locked in our hearts. Their teaching will lead us when we travel, protect us at night and advise us during the day. Their loving correction can teach us how to live.

My son, keep your father’s commandment,

and forsake not your mother’s teaching.

TUCKER wants you to get educated with the

MURRAY GMStudent Bonus Program.

Students who enroll in full-time studies or have graduated within the past 6 months

receive up to $500 towards a CPO vehicle.

By Tom FletcherBLACK PRESS

BC Hydro customers who refuse to part with their mechanical power meters will continue to pay $32.40 a month for manual meter read-ings, with a refund on the balance of the $35 they’ve been paying since December.

The B.C. Utilities Com-mission ruled on BC Hydro’s smart meter opt-out fees Friday, after an order from the B.C. government required the regulator to approve fees covering all of BC Hydro’s costs.

A $20 a month charge will continue for BC Hydro customers who accept a digital meter with the radio trans-mission function turned off. The commission cut the one-time fee for dis-abling the meter radio to $22.60, far below BC Hydro’s proposed $100.

Most of BC Hydro’s nearly two million cus-tomers now have fully functioning smart meters, which send daily readings to a col-lection network and signal when power goes out and comes back on.

A few customers maintain the meters present a health haz-ard, but commissioners rejected testimony from smart meter opponents, noting that their spokes-men were unquali-fied and in most cases repeating false or exag-gerated claims in order to sell solutions to the purported hazards.

BC Hydro spent nearly $1 billion to upgrade its grid, forecasting savings from automatic meter reading to faster detec-tion of outages and elim-ination of power theft from meter bypasses.

The commission also reduced fees for cus-tomers who move and request a radio-off meter at their new address. To switch from a mechan-ical meter to a radio-off meter will cost $77.60, reduced from the BC Hydro’s proposed $100. Going from one radio-off meter to another will cost $132.60, down from the proposed $155 that includes activating the meter in the former res-idence.

This message is being sent on behalf of the Board of Education for School District No. 75 (Mission): The Mission Board of Education has adopted a school calendar for the 2014-2015 school year that will continue with the established practice of a one week Spring Break.

While the Board recognized that a number of our partner groups and families would have preferred to follow the trend of neighbouring School Districts in moving to a two week Spring Break, such a move would have left the Board with signifi cant legal and fi nancial risk. The Board is appreciative of a British Columbia Public School Employers’ Association (‘BCPSEA’) offer to assist in addressing outstanding concerns.

The Board has made a commitment to re-examine the issue early in the new school year.

This information is also posted on the School District website: www.sd75.ca.

Information Provided by Constant Contact

Let’s face it we all hate those emails that pile up in our

inbox, squeeze our data and end up in filling our deleted

box. Whether for Viagra, contests, or a lost relative in Ghana,

they have spammed us to the point of government legisla-

tion. On July 1 the federal government is enacting the CASL

(Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation). According to the CRTC it

“will better protect Canadians while ensuring that businesses

can continue to compete in the global marketplace.”

CASL requires the sender of a commercial electronic

email obtain permission BEFORE they are allowed to send

to the email recipient. In addition, the law mandates com-

mercial emails contains truthful header and non misleading

header information, proper identification of the sending

party and time limit. According to the Canadian govern-

ment, any email sent to/from a Canadian computer, mailbox

or network falls under jurisdiction of CASL.

While this law will not stop spam, it does make most spam

illegal and ultimately less attractive to spammers. The law is

specific about requirements to send commercial email and

empowers the federal government to enforce the law. The

penalties can include a substantive fine and/or imprison-

ment for up to 5 years. Though it seems onerous, there are

simple steps organizations can take to make sure they are

compliant with the new law.

First you need to know if CASL applies to your e-market-ing. If these statements apply then it does:

• Is the message “commercial?” CASL applies to any mes-

sage where the intent is to encourage the recipient to

participate in a commercial activity.

• Is the message sent to an electronic address? This includes

email accounts, telephone accounts, instant messaging

accounts, or any other similar account. (Live and recorded

voice as well as fax messages are excluded from CASL.)

CONSENT IS A KEY PIECE OF THIS LAW. As a marketer you need to know the difference between

Implied and Express consent.

IMPLIED – you may only have implied consent if the fol-

lowing apply:

• An existing relationship is in place – with a business or

non-business (e.g., volunteer relationship).

• The recipient: 1) publicly displayed electronic informa-

tion (email, SMS, social handle, etc.) or 2) disclosed his/

her electronic information to sender; and didn’t ask not

to receive messaging; and the message is related to the

recipient’s business.

EXPRESS – exists if the following conditions apply:

• Clear notice was provided to the recipient that they were

giving consent.

• That notice described the purpose of the messages the

recipient will receive.

• The sender provided the CASL prescribed information.

You need to confirm or obtain consent. Confirm that you

have either express or implied consent to send your mes-

sages. If you didn’t explicitly ask for permission or do not

have implied consent to mail a contact, you will have to

reconfirm their consent.

Email addresses obtained with implied permission must

be removed after 2 years unless explicit permission to email

them has been received.

SECONDLY, IDENTIFY – you need to be truthful and

straightforward in your subject line. Make sure that your

email campaign's "Subject" line is straightforward, not mis-

leading. A marketer cannot advertise "Everything 50% off" in

the subject and then only offer 25% off in the message below.

This is enticing the recipient to open the message under

false pretenses and against the CASL law.

Moreover, you must clearly and simply identify yourselves

and anyone else on whose behalf the message is sent. That

includes a postal address in your email campaigns. Con-

stant Contact for example requires that you add a physical

address before you can schedule a campaign: make sure

that this address is a valid physical postal address for your

organization.

Additionally, in every message you send, you must provide

a way for recipients to unsubscribe from receiving messages

in the future. If you aren't already doing so, any unsub-

scribe requests that come to you via a reply to

your email must be honored immediately.

Unsubscribe requests never expire. You

must honor all opt-out requests indefi-

nitely, regardless of future mailing

platforms, unless you receive a

new explicit opt-in request

for that address.

Social media, social listening, social advertising, social media return on invest – all new trends for 2014. The Chamber kicks off May with a Luncheon on May 15th demonstrating the Lasting Power of E-Marketing with Guy Steeves from Constant Contact. Following the luncheon will be a FREE work-shop on the setting up your email marketing system.

Thursday, June 12 our annual Business Excellence Awards will be presented at the Silverdale Hall. Each year we have tried to change up our business awards to include as many businesses as possible and our members this year told us that they would like this event to be more of a networking event than a gala. So food trucks, buskers and opportunities for networking are

what you can expect as the Cham-ber honors the display of excellence and outstanding achievements of local businesses nominated and voted on by you, the community. While the community votes, the Chamber selection committee will independently review all nomina-tions against specific awards crite-ria. This committee plus the com-munity vote will determine this year’s recipients. The awards this year are the President’s Award, Big Bang Award, Power of Small, Local Focus, Customer First and Com-munity Builder. Doors open at 6:30 Awards from 7-9 pm all for the cost of $40. Please come and build your network at the Awards and main-tain and enhance it using your new social media skills.

The Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce, together with the BC Cham-ber of Commerce and its member Lower Mainland chambers, is calling on the provincial government to reject pro-posed Bylaw 280.

“This bylaw is basically a tool to ensure fuel for an unnecessary incinerator – and taxpayers and businesses are getting the bill,” said John Winter, president and CEO of the BC Chamber.

The bylaw sets the stage for tipping fee hikes on businesses that could amount to up to 100% or more within a few years in order to fund operating and capital costs such as a new waste-to-energy in-cinerator.

There is strong concern with the bylaw

for effectively shutting private industry out of providing cheaper, greener solu-tions to Metro Vancouver’s waste man-agement needs, such as mixed-waste material recovery facilities (MRFs).

“Private industry is ready and willing to put its money on the table, and take on all the financial risk, to help Metro exceed its waste reduction target before more tax dollars are invested in disposal options,” Winter said. “Metro Vancouver needs to take a good hard look at those opportunities, rather than barrelling for-ward with a plan that leaves taxpayers and businesses on the hook for a $500 million incinerator that we simply don’t need.”

The BC Chamber and the Chamber

network across the region stands op-

posed to both proposed Bylaw 280 and

the broader incinerator plan. Among

other things, the Chamber network has

voiced concerns with the incinerator

project’s business plan, which is pre-

mised on securing funding from two tiers

of government plus achieving BC Hydro

preferential rates for electricity produced.

The plan to achieve ‘green’ rates from BC

Hydro for incinerator-generated power

has been revealed as a non-starter.

“Thus far, all viable options have not

been on the table,” Winter said. “And

we’re convinced that our region can, and

must, do better.”

That’s Just How

We Roll

As a small business owner you need many different skills for your business to succeed. You may have the best product in the market, but unless you can sell that product, your business could fail. Similarly, you may have the most knowledgeable staff mem-bers on your team, but unless the people you employ are well man-aged, your business could suffer.

Functional skills such as mar-keting, sales, personnel and fi-nance are what all businesses need and the smaller your busi-ness, the more the owner will need to have. The problem faced by many small business owners

is finding the time and funds to access the educational oppor-tunities that will help you gain these skills. Training helps your business maintain its readiness to respond to the changing mar-ketplace. The Chamber is your resource in providing these op-portunities as we understand the need to access affordable skills training that will keep small busi-ness owners nimble.

Take for example the Provincial Government’s Micro-Business Training (MBT) Program, which has helped many business own-ers in Mission gain valuable skills in areas they were struggling.

These owners recognized gaps in their skills and found the time to fill the gaps through one-on-one education and coaching. The provincial government has ex-tended the program so business owners without post-secondary education are still eligible for up to $1500 in training grants for themselves.

Recently, the Chamber held an Anti-Bullying Workshop for busi-ness owners and managers. With the excellent training provided by Coast Eagle Consulting, attend-ees were exposed to a wide range of policies and regulations that most did not know even existed.

During the workshop, one owner

realized that their business could

have saved close to $30,000 had

they been aware of certain Work

Safe policies.

Continued training is an asset

for any business owner. Take ad-

vantage of the resources provided

by the Chamber and instead of

thinking of the time required to

attend, think of the real value that

will be added to your bottom line.

Our next session is free and will

help you set up your e-marketing

strategy.

Silver Creek: Quality of life in your backyard

Another phase is developing at the Silver Creek Industrial Park on the west side of Mis-sion. The newest phase will be located on Fra-ser View, a cul-de-sac to the west side of the existing buildings. Phase four; will be 16,000 square feet with 11,500 being built specifically for one tenant that is expanding their manu-facturing in Mission. The remaining square footage still awaits tenants and will be flexible space similar to the other buildings in the de-velopment.

Developer Ole Bakstad has been building out the site since 2010. Tenants in the development cross the industrial spectrum from light manu-

facturing, construction, retail and production. “All of the tenants here live in Mission and love their five minute commute. It offers business owners a great quality of life!” states Bakstad.

However with space available and more available in August, limits in the OCP IP1 zon-ing have restricted other tenants moving in.

“We have had interest from dance studios, gyms and other sports related businesses.” notes Bakstad, “however we have had to turn them away, as they are not within the permit-ted use and would not be approved by the City.”

Also a developer in Maple Ridge Industrial Park, Bakstad is well aware of the types of busi-

ness that work well in these developments. In Maple Ridge he leases space to a rock climbing gym and a Tai Kwon Do Studio.

“They are great tenants and keep activity in the park late into the night which helps mitigate some of the security challenges that plague industrial zones.” he adds.

Bakstad will continue to work with the Dis-trict on this issue and encourages those who operate their business in another community but live in Mission to check out the Silver Creek Park as an opportunity to build a better quality of life, without having to commute.

Discovering beautiful B.C. in a classic car adventureOnly mad dogs and Englishmen drive open top cars in the extremely chilly B.C. high country at this time of year.But taking part in the three-day Hagerty Spring Thaw rally, staged by Classic Car Adventures, certainly turned on this Limey to the idea of a B.C. summer ‘staycation’ on roads that show natural beauty at its awe inspiring best.Since my old U.K. friend, George Holt, moved to Gabriola Island a few years ago, he’s pestered me to join him on a rally. Wild tales of his racing exploits persuaded me that my participation might make it the last wish on my buck-et list. Literally.When Hagerty Insurance invited me to take part in the non-competitive rally for pre-1979 touring and sports cars, covering almost 1,100 kilometres, I fig-ured this was the time to invite George.“I’m up for it, Sid, and I have the perfect car,” George responded. You get used to him calling every male, Sid, and female, Doris. He worked day and night to ready his 1954 XK 120 Jaguar roadster – it rolled off the production line in the same year I did. It cranks out 200 horses from an inline straight-six cylinder 3.4-litre engine housed under that long hood. The gleaming blue roadster with a large number 54 emblazoned on each side drew much attention at the rally start point in Squamish. The warming sun showed off the almost 80 other classics to their best, too. There were Alfa Romeos, many Minis circa mid-1960s, Porsches, Jags, MGs, Aston Martins – including a stunning 1934 Mk II owned by a gentleman from the same neck of the woods as George and me – plus a rare Noble M400.

We donned many layers of clothing, including leather aviator jackets and fetching, matching yellow helmets, then strapped in. George at the wheel, me by his side as his nagivator. We pulled out on the Sea to Sky highway and that journey to Whistler brought tears to my eyes, as did the rushing wind. The twisty Duffey Lake Road beyond Pemberton was no challenge for the mighty Jag. It stuck like glue to the hairiest hairpins down to Seton Lake. A rest stop at that watery stretch of tranquility brought the sounds of silence to our ears.George broke the silence: “It goes like stink, Sid.” I completed his sentence. “And stops eventually.” Recalling a recent bit of hard braking that had me worried for a while.It was then on to Cache Creek and des-ert country before climbing to the snow line towards Logan Lake where my face froze. The shower at the Kamloops hotel

brought back some colour to my cheeks.The second day would take us by Monte Lake and Falkland and on to Vernon – in the pouring, icy rain. The rains stopped as we stopped to look at a ‘car graveyard’ where rusty examples of steel steeds past caught George’s eye. “Look, Sid, my first car – a Ford Prefect.” I then misdirected us to a second graveyard near Arm-strong, populated by Sunbeams, Hillman and even old Zodiacs. He took careful note of the location so that he might return for his next restoration project.The sun peeped out as we were welcomed by the rug-ged northern end of the Okanagan Valley. We buzzed along the Lake Country lanes that run alongside Okanagan Lake, between the vineyards.

Then we bypassed Kelowna and headed for Beaver-dell, admiring the evidence of the now defunct historic Kettle Valley railway. Then the chilling hail hit but a single glass of beer at Rock Creek restored us. We weaved our way north along the valley, through wine country, to Penticton.“Piece of cake,” said George the next day as he looked at the route to Hope. The winding back road trail to Princeton was a joy but the last stretch home was not.First, we were hit by snow, then hail that numbed our faces as we descended from Manning Park. I thought I had made a significant anatomical discovery when it appeared that the icy wind blasting up my right nostril seemed to exit through my left ear. Of course, it could have been the hole in the left side of my helmet.There was one other little challenge. The panel failed so I had to peer at my handheld GPS to figure out what speed we were doing then shout at the top of my voice when George exceeded the posted limit.We made it safe and sound. “Next year, Sid?” “I’ll get back to you, George.”

QuestionOF THE WEEK:

You’ve got your licence, you’ve got your proper gear, now all you need is your motorcycle. Here are a few things to consider before signing on the dotted line.BudgetEstablishing a budget is probably the most important thing to outline when it comes to your new ride. If you’re buying used, this is par-ticularly important. You might be tempted to spend an extra couple of thousand on the bike of your dreams. But if the dream bike just happens to be a nightmare and costs you an unanticipated fortune on repairs, you might find yourself in a pickle. New or Used?There are differing benefits to buying new or used. New bikes have warranties, but a used bike that might not be too old could still have one. Is buying either way better than the other? Not

necessarily. Buying used you could get a more upscale model for your budget.Private Sale or from a Dealer-ship?Speaking from experience, buying through a private sale can be a good way to go, especially on a budget. I found my bike on Craig-slist. But if you can’t pay cash up front, dealers generally have financing or payment plan options. Private sales don’t. Dealers also have most likely done a tune-up or some service in preparing the bike for the sale. Check the VIN through ICBC or a trusted database It might cost you a few extra dollars, but it can save you multiple headaches in the end. It will show if the bike has been in

any reported accidents and detail the damage. It’ll also show if there is money owing on the bike or if it was reported stolen. Keep in mind, if the bike is from out of the coun-try, the record likely won’t show.When I went to buy my first bike, I had my heart set on a beautiful Yamaha R6. It looked brand new and perfect. The seller said it had never been in any accidents and had all original parts. I left thinking

that the next day I’d be riding this beauty home. However, I paid my $20 (at the time) and found out the bike had been in two accidents with damage costs of more than $3,000. If you’re buying through a dealership, they might even have the bike’s history on hand for you. It never hurts to double check.The Myth of Displacements

Tel: (604) 857-7755

Many new riders like to set a cap on the cc displace-ment they’re willing to get for their first bike. I had a reader write me asking what he should get. He’s 6’2”, 220 pounds and had long limbs. He didn’t want anything higher than a 250cc though. I asked him why. He said he wanted something manageable for his first bike. With long arms and legs, a 250cc bike wasn’t going to fit him! Or vice versa. I told him to look at cruisers, like the Harley-Davidson Sportster, Honda Shadow, Suzuki Boulevard S40, Yamaha Bolt. They might have a higher displacement but they’re going to be easy to manage and work much better with his body. What did he buy? A used 2006 Honda Shadow 750cc. And he loves it. I recommend buying a bike that you are comfortable on, both physically and mentally.Test RidesPrivate sellers won’t generally let you test ride, but ask. Dealers are more open to this, especially with newer models because they have demo fleets. Mechanical Inspection If you’re buying used, and you are this close to making the decision, before you go to the bank and give up your savings, spend an extra $100-$200 to get a motorcycle mechanic to look at your potential purchase. Private sellers will generally ride the bike down to a location of your choice and let the mechan-ic work their magic. The mechanic will then let you know what things might need to be worked on in the near or distant future. If the seller thinks it’s too much work, then it’s your call if you want to continue to work with them. I wouldn’t buy a bike without knowing what I’m getting [email protected]

WELFORDPatricia (Pat)

Feb. 12, 1935 ~ May 3, 2014

Pat passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family. The love that was present in that room at Pat’s passing was a tribute to the woman who had lived a life that fulfi lled the great com-mandment of “love one an-other”. Despite the ravages of ALS Pat never gave up her role of wife, mother, sister, grandmother and great-grand-mother. She is survived by her husband Peter and a marriage that lasted a wonderful fi fty-nine years. Pat and Pete emigrated from England to Canada in 1975, they settled in BC and raised four great kids - Gary, Mark, Shelley and Patrick. They were the apple of Pat’s eye and woe betide you if you made any less than complimentary remarks about her brood! Pat is survived by her daughters-in-law Lori, Pat, Kathy and son-in-law Rick. Over the years Pat and Pete were thrilled to welcome into the family home grandchildren Adam, (Melissa), Kent, Danielle (Daniel), Lauren, Hailey (Mark) Megan, Emily. Kelsey (Brody), Miles and fi nally Kimberley. To round off the family the arrival of a great-granddaughter little Lily, she completed the Welford brood. Pat was thrilled to have so many to love and dote on. Others that will so miss our Pat are brother Pete (Christine) from California, sister Linda (Tony), and sister-in-law Peggy, who reside in England. All have been blessed by the seventy-nine years that the Lord gave Pat, she left an indelible mark on all the lives that she touched, she will be forever missed. A celebration of Pat’s life will be held at Henderson’s Fraser Valley Funeral Home 34537 Marshall Road, Abbotsford on Saturday, May 17th at 3:00 pm. In lieu of fl owers dona-tions may be made to the ALS Society of BC.
