Marijuana grow ops can pop up just about anywhere in any community. No neighbourhood is immune, and

Mission is no exception. Police investigate andtake down these illegal grow operations from one end of town to another, and are beginning to map the progress.

These maps are created by the detachment’scrime analyst and presented as information tothe public. They can be viewed on the MissionRCMP website at www.mission.rcmp.ca.

The maps also remind residents grow opscan happen in any neighbourhood, even yours,said Cpl. Sharon Siluch.

They only show homes that have been busted, and provide a comparison from year to year.

Last year police took down 50 marijuana grows operations and seized 41,103 plants and 105,743 grams of dried marijuana bud worthabout $1,057,430.

In 2008, 88 grow ops were busted, and therewere 65 in 2007.

So far this year, police have been busy withthree.

The RCMP street crime unit, with one of-ficer dedicated to grow ops, is mainly respon-sible for investigating and taking down theseillegal operations. The team can be extremely busy, depending on the number of reports and priorities.

Police say a lot of tips come in from resi-dents who suspect there is a grow op in their neighbourhood, and through Crime Stoppers, an anonymous tip line for police.

Not all grow ops are gang-related, but most of them are affiliated with criminal activity, according to police.

Regular people could grow the crop, but they still have to find someone to buy it, Si-luch explained. She added nobody will admit organized crime is funding their operation.

“There are ones that are legal, and regulatedthrough Health Canada, but we are aware of them,” said Siluch.

The regulated grows are for medicinal pur-

Last week three vehicles parked in the 32000 block of Mission Way were damaged.

The incidents happened some time between 2 a.m. and 10 a.m. on the night of Feb. 10. According to police, the vehicles were in a compound yard and it appears the suspects may have been trying to steal the trucks.

The ignition was punched out in both a white Ford Expe-dition and a red Dodge Cara-van. There was also damage to the door lock on the driver side on the Dodge.

About $3.50 was stolen from a silver Ford F150, but there was no damage to the vehicle.

Anyone with information about this

crime is asked to call Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161.

The liquor store on Lougheed Highway sustained more dam-age when someone tried to smash through the exterior wall next to the rear loading dock.

According to police, there was a hole through the wall, but a pallet of empty bottles on the other side blocked entry from being gained. It also ap-pears the thieves were scared off when one of the cases of bottles fell off the pallet inside the store.

Nothing was stolen, however anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact

Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161 or Crime Stoppers.

poses and there is a limit to how many plants they can have.

But even these legalized ones are not immune to violence associ-ated with illegal operations.

Last week, three to five masked individuals barged into a home in the 9400 block of Barret Street and pepper sprayed the occupants in a grow rip, said Siluch.

The occupants managed to es-cape from the home and called po-lice when they thought they were safe to do so. When police arrived, the suspects had already fled.

Marijuana was growing at the home legally, said Siluch, but the invaders, who somehow heard about the grow, ripped it off be-cause they feared it would be com-petition for them.

Police don’t know if the suspects were male or female, and the in-cident is still under investigation. Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call the Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

OTHER DANGERSViolence is a risk for anyone

growing marijuana. “Grow ops are targets for grow

rips,” said Siluch.There can be booby traps set

up around the property to attack anyone trying to rip off the plants, making it dangerous for police who do the busts too.

Police are also seeing more fire-arms and other weapons, such as bear spray and bats, in homes to protect the crop, said Siluch.

Grow rips aren’t always reported to police, but sometimes officers are aware of them because there’s a report of a break and enter or someone is at the hospital with suspicious injuries, such as a gun-shot wound, or they are beaten up badly, and the medical staff at the hospital call police.

But there are other dangers as well. There are fire risks, health risks and almost always damage to the home.

Because marijuana plants require special lights which use a lot of electricity, growers usually find a way to bypass the hydro line to the house.

They rewire the home and

oftentimes the work isn’t clean or proper. As a result, the circuit boards get overloaded, and a fire could break out.

When firefighters are called in to put out a fire, police are also noti-fied if there is a grow op on the property.

If people are living in the same house where there is a marijuana grow op, their health can be com-promised, say police.

The chemicals used to feed the plants are very toxic, Siluch ex-plained. The house is usually very moist too, creating ideal condi-tions for mildew, fungus and black mould.

Breathing this stuff in isn’t good for you, said Siluch, noting that’s why sometimes officers working to dismantle a grow op will wear white bio hazard suits.

MARIJUANA GROW-OPSINTERDICTED IN 2009

TO OCTOBER 31MISSION RCMP

2009-11-30 Crime Analyst Mission RCMP


Marijuana produced in an illegal in-door grow operation is quite different than a plant grown naturally outdoors.

In an indoor environment, growers can create the ideal setting, forcing the plant to mature faster, which is why the stalk of an indoor crop is much thinner, according to police who have found and taken down both types of production.

Indoor plants are also fed daily with nutrients and other chemicals that will help the plant bulk up faster.

It’s kind of like when a person takes steroids to bulk up, explain po-lice. “These chemicals are danger-ous; there’s nothing natural about B.C. bud.”

Growers also manipulate the amount of light the plants receive.

Marijuana that is available today also has a higher THC level than it

did 30 or 40 years ago. There are a number of factors for this, said Insp. Pat Walsh, who worked in the RCMP drug section for more than two years before coming to Mission.

The strains of cannabis are different, but growers have also improved on their methods.

THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the main active ingredient in mari-juana. High THC is only found in the female plants, explained Walsh. Male plants are never in the same room with a crop because the male will pollinate the female, and produce seed instead of the valuable flower.

When the female plant is mature, it will flower in an attempt to attract male pollen. And because there isn’t any pollen in the room, the plant will continue to flower until it is clipped.

An illegal indoor crop can be har-vest in two or three months, but it takes six months in a natural, outdoor environment.


How can you tell if there’s a grow op in your neighbourhood?

Sometimes there are people living in the house and the mari-juana is growing down-stairs, but other times there is nobody around the property and the yard is unkept.

But there are com-monalities in both cases.

There could be a large amount of pots and soil scattered around the house, said Cpl. Sharon Siluch.

“Look for dark cov-erings over windows, and listen for humming sounds, which could be fans or generators.”

If there is a marijuana grow op nearby, there will also be a distinct smell in the air. Mari-juana being smoked has a burning smell, but marijuana being grown will have more

of a vegetative smell. Some people describe

it like smelling a skunk, or skunk cabbage; it’s moist and sticky.

Other signs a house could be growing mari-juana include:

• Residents of the house keep to them-selves

• Rooms in the house and/or outbuildings seem to be illuminated

• There is unusual or modified wiring on the exterior of the house

• There were hoses running from the exte-rior of the house

• A variety of extra security measures have been taken to protect the house

If you suspect there is a grow op or a drug house in your neigh-bourhood, document the types of vehicles and license plates com-ing and going from the suspected house, said Siluch.

You don’t have to give your name if you

are reporting it to the police, but you can help by collecting some data.

“We’re not asking you to interact with anyone,” explained the corporal.

There is a package of forms available from the RCMP that will help you collect some of the information.

Once police have a starting point, they will do surveillance of the area and continue to gather information.

According to Siluch, most people don’t mind providing some docu-mentation because they don’t want to live with this kind of business in their neighbourhood.

To get more infor-mation, or to report a suspected marijuana grow operation in your neighbourhood, call Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161 or if you want to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

In addition to the regular work police do, the district’s Public Safety Inspection Team (PSIT) also comes across illegal residential grow op-erations.

Because grow ops require a lot of power, ex-cessive hydro consumption can be an indicator that one is present in a home.

About four years ago the BC government amended the Safety Standards Act to allow local governments to obtain electrical consump-

tion information from BC Hydro. The informa-tion is used to deal with any electrical safety risk, as well as other risks found through the inspection process.

The PSIT in Mission consists of a fire inspec-tor, building inspector and electrician, support-ed by two office staff. RCMP are also present when the team visits a home, but they are not allowed on the property. Police are only there to keep the peace if necessary.

Once the hydro consumption data has been obtained, properties with potential electrical safety concerns are identified. Research of mu-nicipal and provincial records is conducted to ascertain any legitimate explanation for the high hydro use. If no information is found to account for the high consumption, the registered owner and tenant, where applicable, are contacted and a public safety inspection is scheduled.

During the inspection, any electrical system

deficiencies are noted as well as any contraven-tion of the Building Code, Fire Services Act or other applicable legislation related to public safety. If the inspectors determine a property was used as to produce a controlled substance, inspection fees will be charged. Inspectors can also place a “do not occupy” order on the property, prohibiting anyone from residing in the dwelling.

District’s PSIT focusses on dangerously high hydro consumption

BY NEIL CORBETTMission Record

New school boundaries, a new school-year calen-dar and the creation of a middle school grade con-figuration were all topics of a lengthy discussion by the Mission school board on Tuesday night, as the trustees reviewed the Vi-sion 2020 planning work being done by district staff.

Deputy super-intendent Brenda Lightburn reviewed two proposals for new calendars in the district. One, the Wiltshire Coun-cil Calendar allows for periods of seven weeks of schooling followed by a week off, allowing for two weeks in December, two weeks in April, but a reduction to a five-week summer holiday. It was suggested by educators who had experience with

the Wiltshire Calendar in the U.K.

The other proposal was the Kanaka Creek Cal-endar which is used in Maple Ridge, which es-sentially allows for three months of instruction fol-lowed by a month off, with the breaks coming in December, April and August.

Lightburn said the question is “How can we make school more ongo-ing, rather than have the startup and shutdown?”

She noted that the traditional school calendar is based

on an agricultural econo-my that allowed children to be available for sum-mer harvest work.

It appears there will be change, as trustees gave staff direction to change the calendar to one that minimizes summer learn-ing loss, minimizes transi-tion time for school start up and shut down, offers continuity of student sup-port services and other objectives.

Trustee Randy Cairns said he will support a cal-endar that “reflects the way lifestyles are today, and not the way they were 100 years ago.”

Staff will meet with the Education Ministry to minimize conflicts with provincial exams,

and will confer with BC School Sports to attempt to maintain extracurricu-lar activities if the district adopts a new calendar.

Trustee Carol Hamilton noted that the district is not acting in isolation, as other boards are also re-viewing potential changes to the calendar.

New BoundariesSecretary-Treasurer

Roy Daykin reviewed extensive boundary revi-sions throughout the dis-trict, at both elementary and secondary schools.

Using informa-tion from govern-ment agencies, Daykin said he can accurately pre-dict where growth will occur in the district, and which schools will be in decline.

“It’s solid, solid in-formation,” he told the board.

The new boundaries will maximize the use of major transportation arter-ies, minimize the use of busses.

He said the new bound-aries would address in-efficiencies, like bussing Silverdale students to Hatzic rather than Mission Secondary, or bussing stu-dents to Hatzic who are within walking distance to Heritage Park.

He noted the intent would be to not disrupt students who already have a relationship with the school they are at-tending.

“I have no intention of saying to anyone who

has been going to Albert McMahon for four years, ‘sorry, you have to go to Silverdale now.’”

However, it was noted that there would be impli-cations for cross-boundar-ies transfers in the future.

ConfigurationsThe trustees were asked

to consider future options for school configurations, other than the status quo (kindergarten to Grade 8, and Grade 8 to Grade 12).

Configurations dis-cussed were:

K-6, 7-9 and 10-12

K-6 and 7-12 K-3, 4-7 and

8-12 K-6, 7-8 and

9-12Superintendent

Frank Dunham said one proposal would see Grades 7-12 in the same high schools, but the Grades 7, 8 and 9 students would be on a middle school stream. A key point is that they would see fewer teach-ers – three or a maximum of four – than the high school stream.

Trustees Pam Alexis and Cairns both spoke against moving Grade 7 students into high schools.

From the discussion, Dunham said he “heard that we should be look-ing at a middle school model.”

He told trustees that in giving staff direction and approvals in principle, none of the proposed changes have been set in stone.

BC Rail winding down, trial set to startBY TOM FLETCHERBlack Press

More than six years after the sale of BC Rail assets to CN Rail sparked criminal charges, the B.C. government has moved to shut down the Crown corporation and bring the remainder of its operations and staff into the transportation ministry.

The announcement came Wednesday, the same day as a B.C. Supreme Court judge set a trial date of May 3 for the ministerial assistants charged with fraud, breach of trust and accepting a benefit in connection with bidding on the railway.

Transportation Minister Shirley Bond said the government is examining the executive contracts of BC Rail CEO Kevin Mahoney and John Lusney, vice-president for real estate, and their em-ployment will end March 31. They will receive severance but she would not comment on how much it would be.

“We recognize that there are employ-ment contracts in place and we would have to honour those,” Bond said.

The board of directors is also resign-ing effective March 31, and Bond said she does not expect them to be paid severance. Other employees are being transferred to government, to continue to operate the Roberts Bank spur line and deal with property holdings and other ongoing work.

Bond said she expected that winding up the Crown corporation would entail significant costs, but the shift to ministry operation is expected to result in savings of up to $5 million a year, about half the current operating costs.

The past two years have been con-sumed with pre-trail arguments, mostly about the disclosure of thousands of documents and e-mails related to the sale. This week the three accused chose to be tried by judge and jury.

Former Langley Advance Publisher Mourned

Marilyn Boswyk, a well-known and loved fi gure in the Lower Mainland community newspaper circle, passed away Wednesday evening, February 3, 2010. Close friends had found Marilyn unconscious in her Mission home Saturday, January 23, 2010. She was rushed to Mission Hospital, and eventually transferred to Abbotsford hospital, where it was determined she had more than one stroke. Further complications necessitated her move to Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, surrounded by family and friends, where she suffered more strokes and eventually passed away.

Marilyn was well respected and renowned for her kindness to the community, volunteering and donating to various charities. Her love of horses was huge; she rode frequently at her Aldergrove farm, and kept the place in superb condition.

Born in Indonesia in 1937, Marilyn was only 4 years old when WWII came along. After the Japanese invasion of the Indonesian islands, Marilyn and her family were sent to a concentration camp and where held there for the entire duration of the war before they were released in 1945. Marilyn and her family then moved to Holland, where she met her future husband, Fenmo Boswyk. Shortly after their marriage, they moved to Canada, and lived in Gold River and Campbell River for a small duration where they had daughter Loraine and late son Dirk before moving to Burnaby and ultimately settling in Mission.

By 1972, Marilyn became a partner in Ready Realty and by 1978 had bought out the company, becoming its sole owner. She later became a founding partner in the highly successful Real Estate Weekly before also stepping into a struggling Langley Advance Newspaper in September of 1994. She became publisher and took over, leaving it stronger than ever by the time of her retirement in September of 2003.

Marilyn suffered a number of losses, including the tragic death of her son, Dirk and his fi ancee, who were killed in an earthquake in Mexico on Thanksgiving Day of 1995. Later, her husband, Fenmo Boswyk, died in 2003 of Alzheimers. She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Loraine and Loren Tobin and grandchildren Dustin and Shaila of Langley, her close nephew, Roderick Tollenaar in Vancouver, her siblings Wilhelmina and Dirk F Tollenaar in the Netherlands, Huib Tollenaar in Chile, and Matthijs Tollenaar in the USA.

A service to celebrate Marilyn’s life will be held at Northside Community Church, 33507 Dewdney Trunk Rd., Mission on February 27, 2010 at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made to the Mission Foundation’s Dirk Boswyk Memorial Fund, or to the Mission Foundation’s Fenmo Boswyk Music Fund.

The Fraser Health Au-thority will end its finan-cial year in April with a balanced budget but it’s far from clear whether more cuts will be required in the months ahead.

Victoria had previously indicated the authority would get a 5.8 per cent budget increase for 2010.

But officials say that depends on how much money the provincial government earmarks for health care when it hands down its new budget after the Olympics are over.

Fraser averted what threatened to be a $160-million deficit for 2009-10 by postponing surgeries, cutting grants and programs and restruc-turing its operations.

A variety of psychiatric, detox and residential care beds were closed, and acute care beds occupied by elderly long-term care patients were redesignat-ed so lower paid nurses could be used.

Delayed elective sur-

geries, some as a result of the Olympics, will likely result in longer wait times for some procedures, said Fraser Health CEO Dr. Nigel Murray.

But many of the spend-ing reductions and service changes should yield on-going savings, he said, not just a one-year gain in cash flow.

Steady population growth and demand for health services is putting continued pressure on

Fraser, which struggles to keep pace with demand despite significant fund-ing increases.

Emergency room visits to area hospitals are run-ning at a rate 11.8 per cent higher than a year ago.

The number of admit-ted patients is up nearly nine per cent, births are up three per cent and neona-tal intensive care units are dealing with 10 per cent more high-risk newborns.

“There is unprecedent-ed demand for services,” Murray. “We are growing at about double the pro-vincial average, about two per cent per annum.”

He said staff overtime has been cut 25 per cent, saving about $8 million, and administration costs have been reduced to less than 10 per cent of the total budget – in part by terminating several vice-presidents and other se-nior administrators.

He said it’s too early in Fraser’s budget process to tell how much of an in-crease from Fraser’s cur-rent $2.48 billion budget is needed for 2010-11 to maintain service at the new levels.

Despite the restraint, more hospital space is being built.

A $35-million expan-sion at Chilliwack Gen-eral Hospital is slated to open next winter.

The new Surrey Out-patient Care and Surgery Centre, a $239-million project to shift day sur-gery and clinics out of clogged Surrey Memorial Hospital, is now 55 per cent finished.

A new critical care tower and ER is also to be built at Surrey Memorial.

And plans are also being made to redevelop Royal Columbian Hos-pital, the regional health centre for cardiac, trauma and neurosciences.


Five Community Heri-tage Awards were hand-ed out Monday night inside council chambers at city hall.

The awards, now in their third year, recog-nizes efforts made by individuals and groups to protect, enhance and/or restore heritage re-sources.

Jim Hinds, alternate chair of the commission, introduced the award winners, while chair Janis Shultz and acting mayor Danny Plecas made the presentations and congratulated the winners.

There are three catego-ries for the awards: Con-servation of the Built En-vironment, Streetscapes and Landscape; Educa-tion and Promotion of

Heritage; and Special Heritage Achievement. Awards were presented in two categories.

Lifetime Learning Centre Society and Xa:ytem Long House Interpretive Centre re-ceived an award for Ed-ucation and Promotion of Heritage.

“The criteria for this award is for individu-als or groups advocat-ing heritage education, awareness and conser-vation in Mission,” said Hinds.

Lifetime Learning was recognized for its re-cording of oral histories. There are over 125 oral histories in Mission.

Xa:ytem was recog-nized for its continued work on educating the public on Sto:lo history and culture.

Special Heritage Achievement Awards

were given to Luv 2 Quilt, authors of Mis-sion’s Living Memori-als, and in honour of Norma Kenney.

Recipients earned this award based on their contribution to conserv-ing, recording and un-derstanding Mission’s heritage.

“Work can include, but are not limited to, archival preservation, art work, written mate-rial, publications, heri-tage studies, historical research and documenta-

tions, Hinds explained.Luv 2 Quilt was hon-

oured for the Heritage Centennial Quilt that was produced, celebrat-ing the 100th anniver-sary of the museum building. The quilt also features many local his-torical buildings and is on display now at the library.

Catherine Marcellus, Betty Robertson and Betty were honoured for their work in creating the book Mission’s Liv-ing Memorials, along

with Betty Dandy, who passed away in 2005.

The trio spent five years researching the book, documenting the first 100 years of health care in Mission. They also established a “founders corner” at the hospital.

The work of Norma Kenney, who died in 1990, still isn’t forgotten today.

“... Many people liv-ing in this community today have heard of, but have never met her, yet

without her hard work and devotion, none of us would ever have had the chance to enjoy what she fought so hard to

preserve,” said Hinds. In 1979, Norma Ken-

ney formed the Mission Heritage Association and worked on creating a park that would preserve the heritage of Mission. We know that park today as Fraser River Heritage Park. The park has be-come a focal centre and a jewel in the Fraser Val-ley, said Hinds.

“She had a vision for this community and did her best to fulfill it. De-spite her death in 1990 Norma’s spirit contin-ues to inspire the MHA board, staff and hun-dreds of volunteers.

The 2010 Olympics really got started for me on the night be-fore Halloween, when a howl-

ing mob chose the street in front of my Victoria condo to provoke the police and push the torch run off course.

Little old ladies and kids who had stood in the rain for an hour to glimpse the torch were instead treated to profes-sional protesters leading campus radicals smeared with zombie make-up, screaming obscenities and chanting nonsense.

Veterans in dress uniforms got similar treatment at Van-couver’s Victory Square Fri-day morning, as “protesters” spread debris and managed to divert the torch route away from them. Signs demanded “Homes Not Games” in the area where millions of tax dollars have been poured into transition housing and shelters. Mohawk “warrior” flags were waved, a further insult to the real warriors at the cenotaph who were denied their dignified moment of national pride.

Masked men on Commercial Drive later managed a similar triumph, drag-ging barbed wire and concrete blocks onto the street. They then prevented children from getting a picture with a torch bearer after being deprived of their moment.

Mercifully, the TV coverage didn’t

give in to its traditional craving for con-flict, passing quickly over this pimple on the smiling face of the 2010 Games. By then the spontaneous turnout for the na-tion-wide torch run had convinced them that everyone is against the Olympics, except the people.

As with other orchestrated protests against salmon farms or private power development, it’s useful to drill down to

see who is promoting this effort.One self-proclaimed organiz-

er calls itself the 2010 Welcom-ing Committee. It’s an eclectic group, to be sure. Joining the increasingly radical Council of Canadians are such giants of social justice as the Workers Communist Party of Iran, the VANDU Womyn’s Group, West End Wild Animal Alliance, In-dustrial Workers of the World, GatewaySucks.org and the Work Less Party.

So what’s the message? The Council of Canadians is also busy with anti-mining protests

that exploit divisions in B.C. aboriginal communities, and one chaotic constant in this anti-Olympic exercise has been its claims about “stolen land.” That’s crude shorthand for a serious and complicated historical grievance, one that’s been set back by this crowd just as surely as these Olympics have fostered new co-operation with B.C.’s aboriginal people.

Another claim is that unspecified

Olympic sponsors are somehow “inti-mate” with oil sands extraction. Sharp research, guys.

The criminal agitators massed at B.C. Place for the opening ceremonies, their useful idiots behind them, for one more shot at provoking a police response. They spat on the cops, they sprayed vinegar in their eyes, but no dice. It seems fitting that they slunk away around the time k.d. lang sang “Hallelujah.”

I’m in Vancouver this week to report on the goings-on downtown while our sports specialists follow the fortunes of athletes from around B.C.

I’ve had no response from the Pivot Legal Society to my question about their latest scheme, giving away red tents to encourage people to camp on city side-walks. I asked them how they plan to determine that their staged squatters are actually homeless.

Pivot’s overt contribution to the Victo-ria protest was to provide “legal observ-ers,” including their long-time leader David Eby. They walk with the mob wearing yellow vests and smug expres-sions, oddly oblivious to the protesters’ antics while searching for any hint of ex-cessive police response, so they can flood the complaints process and courts.

With decreasing compliance from the media, these lawyers for losers pretend they are bravely helping the banana re-public of Canada struggle to emerge from a police state.

Couldn’t have happened to a

nicer guy

He’s being heralded as the “Mogul of moguls” after his exhilarating win in freestyle skiing on Cypress Mountain Sunday night – and for more

reasons than turning out the fastest run of the men’s mo-guls competition.

Alexandre Bilodeau, 22, became an instant national hero after capturing the first Olympic gold medal to be won on Canadian soil.

But his rush to the top of the popularity podium has as much to do with his personality as his performance.

Take for example his main opponent: B.C.-born Dale Begg-Smith – a.k.a. the “Spam Man” – who made mil-lions as an Internet entrepreneur after quitting Canada’s ski program when coaches suggested he was spending too much time on business and not enough in the back country.

He moved to Australia and subsequently became rich and sullen. He stood stonily on the podium during the national anthem when he won gold in Turin, Italy four years ago, and his emotionless reaction this week to los-ing to a former countryman wasn’t exactly a model of gracious ex-pat protocol.

By contrast, Bilodeau has been a breath of fresh win-ter air, with his underdog-does-good grin, his shout-out to his physically disabled brother, and his refusal to take sole responsibility for his success, citing the support of parents and coaches as key to his achievement.

In fact, it is a trifecta of sporting triumph. Bilodeau has displayed humility, emphasized the love of family, and – in a delicious twist of irony sure to have the sepa-ratists flinching under the fleur-de-lis – will go down in history as the guy from Quebec who united the country, making millions of people proud to be Canadian.

Mogul of moguls, indeed. Let the endorsement deals begin.

YOUR VIEWS

Editor, The Record:Mission needs a lead-

ership renaissance that will awaken the spirit of citizen involvement in public issues. This must transcend normal politi-cal initiatives that show little interest in anything beyond tightly controlled public input as a way of managing perception and containing dissent.

Instead, we need to bring out demands for ef-fective citizen action from all walks of life.

I am focusing upon the seniors of Mission and the neglect experienced from politicians to date, particu-larly as it applies to there being no dedicated seniors activity centre. Now that seniors are on council’s radar and vast publicity has embarrassed members of council for their unpop-

ular oversights, it would be politically expedient to witness a sudden change of mind, to one now try-ing to gain public favour, by claiming to suddenly support seniors.

Our proud seniors have

contributed taxes all their lives only to be forsak-en in their time of need. While most communi-ties in B.C. have seniors activity centers, Mission has none. Sadly, seniors can be their own worst

enemies. Lack of vision, progressive and pro-active leadership, the reluctance by (patient) leaders, have unwittingly become the albatross around the neck of senior progress.

Rather than emerge as a

strong political force (se-niors in Mission 50-plus years of age account for 10,000 of the 22,000 eli-gible voters), apathy is so entrenched and the self-serving politician is grate-ful.

Seniors are now poised to advance in their at-tainment of a desperately needed seniors activ-ity centre, but the major obstacle is to overcome apathy, to recognize ob-jectives and take positive action.

On March 4 at the Mis-sion Seniors Centre As-sociation AGM, 10 a.m. at the Seniors Activity Cen-tre (Play Station) have the courage to elect a produc-tive, progressive and pro-active board of directors.

Seniors must rally to-gether as one strong voice for seniors’ needs and not be swayed by naysayers or the idea we should have patience, and continue waiting for little tid-bits handed to seniors by in-sensitive politicians.

George F. EvensMission

Editor, The Record:Own the Podium, the plan to pro-

vide $110 million of support to our best prospective winter Olympians, should be seen as a long term invest-ment in our Canadian talent.

I disagree with the many observ-ers who believe success can only be measured by the number of medals Canada wins.

The true investment is in passion.

It is passion that drives us through life.

Some opponents see this as an unfair advantage. It actually levels the playing field, bringing Canada closer to what countries like the United States have done for decades to invest in their athletes.

It never surprises me – the level of criticism by some Canadians and for-eigners. They complain when Canada

doesn’t do enough. They complain when Canada does too much. We either see this an investment in the future or we can return to those days of athletes holding down jobs to sup-port their athletic passions. I don’t know about you, but I think it is re-ally great to hear our national anthem at a medal ceremony.

Our lives are shaped by what in-spires us, not only personally, but

socially, as it sets standards that bring value-added which enriches this human experience.

I wonder how many of us have actually reflected on our lives and figure out why we are passionate about certain aspects.

As a simple question: What drives you?

William PerryVictoria

Editor, The Record:Re: Landscaper questions validity of ban on

pesticides, Feb. 11, by Don WarkentinOkay Mr. Warkentin. So let’s put our cards on

the table. In your hand you have your own personal experience of “beautifying neighbourhoods” using pesticides that you’ve spent years in close contact with and, (lucky you!) have suffered no ill effects. My sympathies to you on the loss of your family members to cancer not caused by pesticides. And congratulations to you on your survival after years of exposure. Others have not been so lucky.

Which brings us to the playing hand of those opposed to the pesticides (and let’s just throw in bombs and big oil for the heck of it) that you ad-vocate the use of.

We have bats, who were once abundant and served us well in managing mosquito populations,

we have riparian areas, (do you really think that frogs, salamanders, salmon and more should die for your “beautiful yards”?

We have all critters that are unfortunate enough to wander on your “beautiful” pesticide laden lawns. And let’s not forget the soil which is also alive (or was before you sprayed it).

Or do you think that it is only human life that matters? Well, this may come as a bit of a surprise to you, but humans don’t exist without a healthy land base, and humans have been doing a damn good job of destroying the land base that we de-pend on for survival.

Genocide of the natural world is hardly a solu-tion to human health.

You are absolutely right about the Copenhagen Climate Conference. A fine sham it was. A real shining example of your kind of mentality on a

grand scale.Interesting that you chose to point your finger

at the environmentalists and not the governments who cowed to the economic greed of irresponsible corporations who don’t want the inconvenience of cleaning up their act.

Your comments bring to mind images of Charl-ton Heston holding a rifle above his head, saying “From my cold dead hands!” after a tragic school shooting; or the many who are fond of saying “It is my God-given right to water my lawn!” in spite of global water shortage; or “It is my God given right to drive an SUV!” in spite of wars being waged over oil and the earth being decimated by it’s extraction.

At your age one might think you’d know better.Elena Edwards

Mission

Editor, The Record:An open letter to Kerry

Bysouth, manager of parks and facilities.

As a neighbour of Centen-nial Park, I have noticed the construction of the washrooms is slightly ahead of schedule. I notice that they are wheelchair accessible, even though they are in the middle of a jogging track, and that they have glow-in-the-dark signs even though they will be locked at night. The signs are quite visible, since the units do not face the corner like you said they would. No chance of moving them now, I guess.

As work progresses I have a few questions.

When is opening day? I no-ticed a parent and child hoping to use one the other day.

And speaking of opening day, will we have balloons and marching bands? Will any other politicians want to make a speech and partake in the photo op other than the mayor? Will there be enough parking? Is it to be a ribbon cutting cer-emony or a christening?

Some citizens of Mission may not realize the signifi-cance of this event. This is the first new set of permanent washrooms in Centennial Park in over a half century.

For the neighbours this will mean no more desperate par-ents knocking on our doors with a child that can’t wait until they get home to use the washroom. No more “portable facilities” which begs the ques-tion – will we get a memorial plaque telling us how many and what it cost us for all those “portable facilities” that gave their lives over the last 20 or so years?

Was it worth waiting all this time to get one-third of the funding?

So we anxiously await open-ing day and hope it isn’t too far off.

Julie LloydMission

Editor, The Record:I ran out of gas on the north side

of the Mission Bridge. Big mistake. I put my trouble lights on, and eight pylons for 100 feet.

Big trucks stomped on the brakes and there was so much smoke I could not see, and they narrowly missed my van.

Nobody else slowed down. Rush rush rush. Two women ran over my pylons so I had to pull them from under their car.

I phoned BCAA. Two trucks ar-rived in five minutes, or there’s a good chance I wouldn’t be here today.

The tow truck driver said this bridge is a suicide mission when people break down.

The Mission Health Care Auxiliary Society has taken on another program to help make ambulatory day care ex-periences a little more friendly.

The program runs every Tuesday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

It has only been running for a couple of weeks, and clients are already noticing a difference, said Alyce Campbell, who looks after public relations for the group.

The volunteer has a list of patients coming in and lets them know how to get ready. They give clients clothes to change into for their procedure,

Campbell explained. Patients using this ser-

vice go in for procedures such as gastroscopy, colonoscopy and intra-venous.

When patients get paged, the volunteer will take them down to the ambulatory day care room.

“It’s much more per-sonable,” said Campbell.

The auxiliary is utiliz-ing the room which used to be the hospital’s oper-ating room on the sug-gestion of the hospital’s patient care coordinator.

Prior to this new ser-vice being offered, pa-tients waited in an al-cove, and were exposed. There was no privacy and nobody for patients to talk to when they ar-rived.

They would ring an intercom outside the am-bulatory day care room, explained Campbell.

“This way you have someone to speak to.”

Another program the auxiliary started recently is the chapel escort ser-vice. It has been running for close to eight months, and is organized by Elea-nor Lobb.

Volunteers bring resi-dents of the Extended Care Unit to the hos-pital chapel for regular Sunday service. Service used to be held at the

ECU common area, but it wasn’t an enjoyable atmosphere, according to Lobb’s report.

The chapel is just a short distance away and service is conducted by a rotating group of com-munity volunteers.

The chapel is non-

denominational and wel-comes everyone from all faiths.

“It is very heartening to listen to these peo-ple sing the old hymns, many of whom (now) seldom speak, and who certainly could not carry on a conversation,” said

Lobb. “... They know all the verses without using the hymn books.”

Both programs are still being developed and vol-unteers are still needed. If you can help, visit www.missionhealthcareauxil-iary.com for more infor-mation.

BEGINNING IN MARCH

The Cohen Commission inves-tigating the decline of the Fraser River’s Sockeye salmon is ac-cepting applications for standing until March 3.

Standing is necessary to par-ticipate in the commission’s hear-ings, and represents one of the various opportunities that will be available for involvement in the commission’s work.

Persons (individuals, groups, governments, agencies, institu-tions or other entities) who wish to apply for standing at the com-mission’s hearings should submit a written application demonstrat-ing that they have a substantial and direct interest in the subject

matter of the inquiry. Participants who are granted standing are eli-gible to apply for funding for legal counsel. Detailed guide-lines for applying for standing and funding are available on the commission’s website at www.cohencommission.ca.

The Commissioner will deter-mine standing and may recom-mend funding on the basis of written applications, unless he determines that oral hearings are necessary. If so, oral hearings will be held on March 10 and, if necessary, March 11, 2010, in Vancouver.

The Cohen Commission was established on Nov. 5, 2009 with

the appointment of the Honour-able Bruce Cohen, Justice of the Supreme Court of British Colum-bia, as Commissioner. Under its Terms of Reference, the commis-sion will hold hearings to inves-tigate and report on the decline of sockeye salmon in the Fraser River.

Based on its findings, the com-mission will make recommenda-tions for improving the sustain-ability of the sockeye salmon fish-ery in the Fraser River, including, as required, any changes to the policies, practices and procedures of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in relation to the man-agement of the salmon fishery.

Mission’s Heritage Week continues with more events tonight and this weekend

The growth and change in Mission was the topic of

the day, as the people who built Mission gath-ered at Kingsway Arms on Sunday afternoon for the Pioneer Social – one of the hallmarks of Mis-sion’s Heritage Week celebrations.

At 103 years of age, Lena Charlong was the matriarch of the event. She moved to Mission in 1911.

“It was almost a wil-derness,” she remem-bers. “We had to make our own roads.”

She has lived on Gaglardi Street for 98 years. The street is named for her father John, who homesteaded there.

In addition to his cen-tenarian daughter, John also raised a B.C. cabi-net minister, ‘Flying’ Phil Gaglardi. He lost a bid for the premier-ship to Social Credit icon W.A.C. Bennett. Gaglardi’s term as high-ways minister, 1952 to 1968, marked the rapid expansion of the province’s roads and bridges.

His sister raised a fam-ily of five on Gaglardi Street, and once her chil-dren were grown up, she went to work for local businesses, doing their books.

“It’s a little city now. It was just a wilderness,” she said. “It’s home to me now. Everybody’s friendly.”

Her daughter Darlene noted that the family has stayed close, if not right in the immediate area.

“We were in church this morning, and four of her five kids were there,” she said.

Darlene got her mom ready for the Pioneer Social, which is in her words “a big day.”

Nettie Catherwood has a long history in Mis-sion. She came here in 1945, and still lives in the Hatzic house where here late husband Doug-las was born.

They raised five sons together in that house, and in the past 65 years she has also watched the community grow up.

“We lived in a farming area. Now it’s nothing but trains going by and cars going by,” she said. “But it’s still Hatzic.”

Ken Ellerbeck was her next door neighbour from 1938 to 1953. He doesn’t know where to begin discussing the dif-ferences between then and now. In general there is more growth, more activity, but less social-izing.

“It was a smaller town – trustworthy,” he said. “We never locked our doors, and we never locked our cars.”

“People used to visit more. You knew every-one when you walked down main street,” he added. “It’s just that change in atmosphere.”

Catherwood said she always enjoys the Pio-neer Social.

“I like it _ meeting with the old timers and seeing them. I know quite a few.”

Heritage Week runs from Feb. 14 to 21, with a sports theme, and there are still events to take in:

Tonight: People and Play:

Voices from Mission Flats is an exhibit of paintings and photos at the Clarke Theatre from 6 to 9 p.m.

Find Your Ances-tors runs from 6 to 9 p.m. at the library, with the Genealogy Club.

Friday: Lunch and Ban-

nock at the Mission Friendship Centre from noon to 4 p.m., offering a $1 lunch and crafts for sale.

Saturday: Spectrum of Coun-

tries at the library from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m, is three free seminars by the Mission Geneology Club. 10:30 a.m. to noon is a Beginner’s Geneo-logical Journey, 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. is Sisters Under One Roof, the Mission Oyama House Post Project, and 2:15 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Henry Lau presents From Ger-many to North America.

Sunday: Heritage Tea at the

Park from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m at the Norma Ken-ney House.

Tighter rules to qualify for a mortgage may put some down-ward pressure on Lower Mainland housing prices.

Federal finance minister Jim Flaherty on Tuesday unveiled changes aimed at preventing a fu-ture real estate market collapse and resulting U.S.-style financial collapse here.

Behind the move is the expec-tation interest rates will rise in the months ahead as the economy recovers and growing concern people buying now with cheap credit may be unable to keep up payments down the road.

“It takes a bit of steam out of the housing market,” said Central One Credit Union economist Helmut Pastrick.

The changes will require buyers to have a bit of extra wriggle room to afford higher payments should rates rise.

Buyers will have to prove they could qualify for a five-year fixed term in order to get any type of CMHC-insured mortgage. That’s up from a three-year qualifica-tion threshold now and that trans-lates into a demonstrated ability to make payments if rates rise by half a point to a full percentage point.

Current home owners who re-mortgage won’t be able to with-draw as much cash as before – they’ll now have to keep a mini-mum 10 per cent equity, up from five per cent now.

And anyone wanting a govern-ment-insured mortgage to buy an investment home they won’t live in will have to come up with a 20 per cent down payment, up from five per cent now.

Flaherty said the plan is to rein in people who speculate on real estate at the limit of their credit or use their home as an ATM.

The finance minister did not move to raise the minimum down payment from five per cent or

reduce the maximum term of 35 years for insured mortgages – po-tential measures he had previously floated.

Pastrick said the more modest changes shouldn’t threaten B.C.’s economic recovery from the reces-sion.

“The intent is to reduce the ele-ment of the housing market where people are just buying for short-term gains and pushing up housing prices to higher levels.”

But he said it could cut into the supply of rental housing on the market owned by small real estate investors who may be deterred by some of the changes.

Greater Vancouver Home Build-ers’ Association CEO Peter Simp-son said he’s still concerned the measures may go too far at a time when the economic recovery is fragile.

He noted the HST will add to the cost of some homes starting July 1 and a hike in mortgage rates is likely by mid-year.

“It could just combine to create a high degree of buyer resistance,” he said.

“First-time home buyers drive the market. If they’re dormant, the whole market becomes dor-mant very quickly and that af-fects jobs on site with the con-struction of homes.”

New mortgage rules take steam out of home marketChanges limit speculators, home-equity withdrawals

The intent is to reduce the element of the housing mar-

ket where people are just buying for short-term gains...

– Helmut Pastrick, economist

Record crowds loaded the transit system over the Olympic opening week-end, but so far Trans-Link’s people-moving strategy seems on track

for a podium finish.The Canada Line car-

ried a record 210,000 peo-ple Saturday – twice as many as ever rode the line in a single day before.

More than 500,000 rode the Expo and Millennium SkyTrain lines Sunday

and 133,000 took the Sea-Bus over the weekend.

“Those are very, very large numbers,” said TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie.

“And there are waits.”The longest lineups

have seen passengers

wait 35 to 40 minutes at downtown Canada Line stations before they could board trains.

That wasn’t unexpected – in fact it’s been better than the hour-long waits TransLink forecast.

The surprising numbers of people taking SeaBus, led to “crush conditions” at Waterfront Station during parts of Sunday. Passengers faced two-sailing waits to cross Bur-rard Inlet. That generally meant a 20-minute wait, because SeaBuses now leave every 10 minutes.

The bus system has also been heavily strained.

TransLink has deployed all of the 160 buses it held in reserve to battle Olym-pic congestion.

“That strategy seems to be paying off because it gives us the flexibil-ity to put them where we need them, when we need them,” Hardie said.

The busiest bus route was the 99 B Line along Broadway to UBC.

Some other routes saw already full buses pass waiting passengers with-out stopping.

More reserve buses were added to routes coming to the Canada Line from White Rock, South Sur-rey and Delta after reports of more pass-ups there. Extra buses were also put on some night bus routes, which handle late night traffic after SkyTrain lines shut down.

SkyTrain service ramped up to Olympic levels last Friday, with trains running less than two minutes apart nearly all day.

The flow of traffic on the roads has been sur-prisingly smooth.

Hardie said it appears most motorists have gotten the message and avoided driving down-town. The City of Van-couver estimated it hit its goal of a 30 per cent cut in vehicle trips to downtown last Friday.

Daniel Fontaine, co-editor of the website city-caucus.com, said the tran-sit system is “quite taxed” but is so far slightly out-performing Torino when it hosted the 2006 Winter Olympics.Visitors he’s encountered are happy.

“They’re saying this is marvelous – there’s no problem.”

It’s been more challeng-ing for spectators to get to and from Olympic alpine venues. Vanoc’s Olympic Bus Network had early problems getting passen-gers up to Cypress Moun-tain.

SkyTrain and bus passengers

often face standing room

only conditions as a result of

soaring Olympic transit use.

When planning your landscap-ing consider what effect placing trees and shrubs near your front property line will have on the streetscape when the vegetation is fully mature.

Unfortunately many beauti-ful trees and shrubs have to be cut down or drastically trimmed because they interfere with pe-destrian traffic on sidewalks, with the visibility of signs or with clear

sight distances for traffic.It is not safe to have people

stepping off the sidewalk into the road to walk around vegetation.

Please place your plants away from the property line.

The Municipality reminds community groups en-gaged in arts, cultural,

recreational or social services activities that they may be eli-gible to receive a grant in aid.

Each year council budgets a limited amount of funds to assist such local groups with activities that benefit the community at

large. Eligibility requirements and application procedures are available at the Administration Department, Municipal Hall, 8645 Stave Lake Street during normal business hours.

The deadline for submitting applications is March 1, 2010.

Incomplete applications will not be considered, so we urge

anyone wishing to make an ap-plication to do so early, so that municipal staff can review the submission.

The completed applications are subsequently reviewed by the Municipal Grants Advisory Committee, who then provides a recommendation to Council on the grants awards.

Giving back to the sportAs with all things there

are seasons to an an-gler’s life.

It starts with a desire to catch a fish, which later becomes a wish to catch large numbers of fish. As time goes on, an an-gler’s aspirations move toward catching larger and more chal-

lenging fish.

Some never pass this point, while other progress to the place of giving back.

Giving back to our sport can take many forms: Re-leasing fish for others

to enjoy catching; volunteer-ing at a fish hatchery or with a group of stream keepers; writ-ing books or magazine articles on the subject; sharing your skills with others one on one or with groups.

Teaching others was the op-portunity I was given, starting with youth, 14 years ago. It began on a spring afternoon at Terry Fox Secondary school, when business education teach-er Ken Miscisco invited me to assist him and Scott Parker in forming a youth fly fishing club in the coming fall. Little did I know that agreeing would put me on a road that would later lead to the coordination of two clubs with a joint membership of 100, teaching night school in four school districts, and writ-ing a sport fishing column car-ried by three newspapers and two online magazines.

Giving back starts with put-

ting aside your wants for the greater good of the whole. While doing this, rewards come in ways one would seldom consider and in forms rarely expected. Over the coming weeks I will be sharing some

of the blessings I have seen, in my corner of sport fishing as a result of putting the wishes of others before my own.

The reportOur Lower Mainland lakes

are fishing well from mid morning to dusk. Concentrate on the warmer water in the northeastern sections of your favourite lake. Try Big Black, Wooly bugger, Micro Leach, Baggy Shrimp, Coachman, Bloodworm, Chironomid, Cased caddis, Zulu, or Doc Spratley.

The Fraser River back wa-ters and sloughs are fishing well for cutthroat and rainbow. For cutthroat try: Flesh Fly, Eggo, Egg & Eye Alevin, Rolled Muddler, Mickey Finn, Tied Down Minnow, Professor, Lioness, Winter Stone, Coach-man, Zulu, Chez Nymph, or Souboo. For rainbow try the above along with red Spratley, red Carey, Kaufmann Stone, Royal Coachman or Black Gnat.

The Stave River is fair to good for cutthroat, rainbow, and whitefish. For whitefish try: small (#14 to#20) Eggo, Flesh Fly, Griffith Gnat, Stone Nymph, Chironomid, or Cad-dis Nymph.

The Harrison River is good for cutthroat.

The Chehalis River is slow for steelhead, cutthroat and rainbow. For steelhead try: Squamish Poacher, Thor, GP, Popsicle, Big Black, Flat Black, polar Shrimp, Eggo, Steelhead Nightmare, Purple Peril, Holliman, Kaufmann Stone, or Steelhead Spratley.

The Vedder River is fair to good for steelhead, cutthroat, and rainbow.

The Squamish River is slow for cutthroat, and dolly varden. For dolly varden try: large #4 to #2, Zonker, Eggo, Bucktail, Big Black, or Clouser’s Deep Minnow.

Until the next time, keep your fly in the water.

Roadrunners winValley championship

BY NEIL CORBETTMission Record

The Mission Roadrunners won their fourth straight Fraser Valley varsity girls basketball championship on Saturday in Chilliwack, and will bring a powerhouse to the double A provincial championships in Kam-loops in the coming week.

Leading the way will be Chelsea Reist, who was voted the Valley tour-nament’s most valuable player.

“She was steady throughout the tournament,” said her coach Anthony Luyken, noting that in addition to the obvious offence she supplies Reist also rebounds, defends and runs the floor well. “It’s consistency in what she does.”

The tourney began for Mission with an 84-20 layup drill against host G.W. Graham. Reist scored 27 points, and Ravel Gill, who was named a first-team all-star, had 22.

Their second game was another lopsided affair, as Mission, the third-ranked team in the province, beat Sam Robertson Technical of Maple Ridge 66-36. Gill led the scoring with 20 points, while Jess Daigneault had 12. Daigneault was also named to the tournament’s first all-star team.

Those two wins led to the tourna-

ment championship against the Holy Cross of Surrey. The Crusaders are ranked eighth in B.C., had been as high as fifth, and gave the Roadrun-ners a tough game.

“They’re a talented group, but we did what we had to do,” said Luyken.

Mission led by as much as 18, and finally won the game 70-60. Reist scored 27 points and Daigneault 17.

“It’s really neat to see this crew cel-ebrate another Fraser Valley Champi-onship,” said Luyken. “It’s been a pretty good year for these girls.”

They went undefeated in league

play at 8-0, and have lost only four games all season, all against tough competition.

The Mission girls will leave Tues-day for Kamloops, where the pro-vincial tournament will be held from Feb. 24 to 27.

The Roadrunners will need to beat some good teams if they are to take a B.C. title.

The York House Tigers of Vancou-ver are the top-ranked team in the province, and they hosted a tourna-ment featuring the top teams at the end of January.

Mission ran into the second-ranked Clarence Fulton Maroons in the tour-ney semi-final, and lost 84-81.

If they meet again, Mission will have to give the Maroons fewer freethrows.

“We can beat them, but we put them on the line 28 times,” said Luyken.

An even tougher opponent would be top-ranked York House, who left the Maroons red faced after a 74-56 drubbing in the final of that same tournament.

Luyken said his team has yet to play its best game.

“We’re getting there,” he said. “With a week of solid practice and pushing ourselves, we’ll get there.”

Back in playoff positionBY NEIL CORBETTMission Record

With just a week to play in their season, the Mission Icebreakers grabbed the last playoff spot in their conference – beating their rival Abbotsford Pilots 2-1 to do it.

Following a 4-1 loss to the Grandview Steelers on Saturday night at the Burnaby Winter Club, Icebreakers coach Jeff Regier

called up a Midget affiliate goal-tender out of Chilliwack for Sun-day afternoon’s home game, and the kid put in a 42-save effort to get the win.

Hunter Wiebe was named the player of the game in only his second game in the Pacific Inter-national Junior Hockey League this season.

“Twice I’ve used him, and he’s won both games,” said Regier. “Wednesday in Aldergrove he gets the start.”

Wiebe was the last goaltender cut from the Fraser Valley major midget team.

“He’s very mobile and he sees the puck well, and that’s what you want,” said the coach.

Joel Venema and Darren Lundri-gan were the Mission scorers.

Regier also praised his penalty killers, who blanked a formidable Abby power play at 0-for-5.

The Mission Roadrunners senior boys’ season ended in Chilliwack, after they lost two of their three games.

The boys started with a 68-49 win over Abbotsford Christian, but then lost to Southridge 63-54, and to Holy

Cross 56-50.Those two teams weren’t light-

weights, as Southridge finished second in the tournament and Holy Cross third.

Josh Kunz was named a second team all-star.

Boys eliminated

“We played real well. The only goal they got was on a deflection,” said Regier.

“It was simple hockey. That’s what we’ve preached, that’s what they did, and it worked.”

Last night the Icebreakers took on the Kodiaks at the Aldergrove

Community Centre. Results were not available at press deadline.

Then, on Saturday in Port Moody they will face the fifth-place Black Panthers team that is trying to take the fourth and final playoff spot in the Harold Brittain Conference away from them. That game goes at 7:45 p.m.

So far this season the Icebreak-

ers are 3-3 against Port Moody.The Icebreakers last regular sea-

son game will be played at the Lei-sure Centre on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. against the Delta Ice Hawks.

If the Icebreakers hold on to the final playoff spot, it is likely they will start in Maple Ridge on Friday, Feb. 26, against the confer-ence leading Flames.

A Mission youth made his act-ing debut on the Olympic stage.

Dan Crich got into the Olympic spirit early, knowing it would be a once in a lifetime experience; he didn’t want to let any opportunity slip by.

The Heritage Park school student signed up to help during the Opening Ceremony, but he wasn’t sure what would happen. He wanted to keep his options open and told organizers he could dance and act.

He hadn’t done either one before, but he was willing to give it a try.

Crich was asked to audition for a dance number and later as an actor during the sum-

mer last year.“I didn’t do very well at the dance audition,” said Crich recalling the sequence he was

asked to do.Surprisingly, he was called back to

audition for a second time as an actor. The aspiring entertainer admitted his dad didn’t want him to do it because he “sometimes doesn’t know when to say no.”But the Olympics was something Crich

was passionate about, and he wanted to be a part of it.“I really wanted to do this and I explained

it to him,” he noted.He didn’t know what role he was applying for,

or if he was selected until September. That’s when his life started to change. In addition to going to school full time in Mission,

and working as a swing manager at McDonald’s, playing soccer and volunteering around the commu-nity, Crich now had to make room for rehearsals.

They started slow, with just two in November, four or five in December, but things picked

up in January. There were 10 rehearsals that month, and in the weeks leading up to the event, there were even more.

Crich took a week off school and lived in Surrey with his aunt for the final week of rehearsals. There were four rehearsals that week, and the days were long.

Crich enjoyed working on the project, but he couldn’t tell anyone what he was

doing. The Grade 12 student admitted even

he didn’t know what the rest of the ceremony was like until it all came together.

His heart was racing and his excitement was barely containable when the dress rehearsal for Hymn to the North was performed in front of friends and family, and later VANOC. But there are no words to describe how he felt the night of the Opening Ceremony when B.C. Place was filled thousands of people and im-measurable cheers.

“We watched everything happen in our dressing room,” said Crich, who explained his cast waited until athletes from countries under the letter ‘P’ walked out before he left the dressing room.

He was anxious and nervous. He tried to stay fo-cused and went over in his mind things he should and should not do like looking directly at the camera.

Dressed in an impressive white costume with a padded jacket and small lights sewn into it, Crich and his group walked onto the stage after Bryan Adams and Nelly Furtado finished their duet.

They were led by a man, also in a white costume and with a walking stick, who emerged looking lost. It’s snowing and as he looks around, his family and people are behind him. Crich was in that group with his family, his mom, dad, two sisters and grandfa-ther.

“We made up our own journey,” said Crich, who played in the snow and eventually walked away with his sister after having an argument with his mother.

“We go over and meet other people,” he added. “And we embrace them.”

The crowd was loud, but when the big polar bear emerged from the stage, “everyone went crazy,” said Crich, whose performance ended shortly after-wards.

There weren’t any seats reserved for the perform-ers to watch the rest of the show, and Crich was eager to leave before thousand of people packed the SkyTrain to get home.

Crich had already been at B.C. Place since 1:45 p.m. that day. It was a long day, but rehearsals have lasted longer.

The Mission youth enjoyed working with his cast and is sad he won’t be going back for any more rehearsals.

“They were like a second family,” he said. “They chose great people to put this together, everyone got along so well.”

Now that the big event is over, Crich is busy catch-ing up with his school work, and he also wants to pursue other acting opportunities. Currently he has his sights on being a part of the next Winter Olym-pics in Russia.

ENJOY YOURSELF

All of us should eat and drink, and enjoy what we have worked for; it is God’s gift. This nice little verse is from Ecclesiastes 3:13, and when I read it, I immediately thought of its appropriateness and how it relates to almost everyone in our daily struggles to try and balance our work and play. Simple as it is, this verse just struck me right and made me feel good, because it was a scriptural reminder that we are all supposed to enjoy the fruits of our labor. I hope we can all take this to heart. If we feel guilt or some other negative emotion regarding what we have worked so hard to achieve, then our accomplishments may not be as enjoyable, nor is this what God wants for us. God wants us to be physically and mentally sound, and balancing our time between work and recreation is necessary to achieve this. This is important not only for us, but for our relationship with our loved ones. So, within reason and with some degree of discretion, we should try to enjoy the blessings that our Lord gives to each of us, and we should prayerfully thank Him for the enjoyment of life.

… God, who generously gives us everything for our enjoyment.
