Vulnerable Happy Halloween! citizens focus for mayoral candidates

Non-profits host all-candidates meeting Carol Aun MISSION RECORD

Mayoral and council hopefuls squared off for the first time Tuesday night to discuss social service issues at the first all-candidates at the Clarke Theatre. More than 300 people attended the event organized by Mission Community Services Society, Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley, Mission Friendship Centre, Fraser Valley Child Development Centre and Mission Association for Community Living.

Mayoral forum

Each mayoral candidate was asked specific questions, and others could offer their input by using one of their three rebuttal cards. The only topic every candidate spoke about was how to clean up the streets of downtown. Retired MLA Randy Hawes believes an abstinence program is needed in B.C. to help those with addiction problems. “Now the government’s policy on dealing with addition and mental health is to give all the money to Fraser Health,” said Hawes, noting the agency treats addictions with methadone, which brings needles in to the community. “We have to get to know every one of the people on the street. …

we need police to do that.” Hawes explained once the vulnerable individuals are identified, they can be assisted to get the help they need. “We’re are not using the right approach in the province for addiction,” said Hawes, noting it’s a community problem and it’s up to the community to do something about it. Wendy Bales argued different solutions are needed for different people. “We need to start with housing first,” she said, noting if users are off the streets, there won’t be as many needles discarded in the community. Community advocate Kevin Francis maintained, “Policing won’t work; it’s been tried. Abstinence won’t work; it’s been tried … We need to start believing science, not politicians.” “I don’t agree abstinence is the only solution,” said incumbent mayor Ted Adlem. Coun. Tony Luck questioned where the funding would come from for more police officers. “Abstinence works only if it’s what they want to do. We can’t force it,” said Luck, who suggested a good relationship with Victoria CONTINUED ON 5

Views differ on Lougheed Highway relocation plan Relocating the Lougheed Highway in downtown Mission is considered by the district to be a top priority to revitalize downtown. It is listed as number one on the list of 10 Big Moves, which was adopted by council in 2013. According to the district’s website, the price tag for the project is estimated at $5.6 million. The cost will be shared by the province and the district will not need to borrow as there are sufficient reserve funds. About 100 curbside parking spaces will be lost.. Although Mission Downtown Business Association representatives were not available to comment for this story, the organization has expressed support for the move. Businessman Bob Mackovic, who owns Gold Bin on First Avenue, said slowing down traffic will help the community reclaim downtown. “The traffic situation has to be changed for any substantial revitalization,” explained Mackovic. “Let’s get this done, then look at other

steps.” However, not all business owners feel the change is beneficial. “It will hurt my business,” said Adriana Knox, who owns Dogwood Bakery and Deli on N. Railway Avenue. Delivery trucks for businesses on N. Railway will be inconvenienced, and the traffic on the street is already “very dangerous,” she explained. “When people come off the West Coast Express, cars are parked all over the place … I’d hate to see (the highway relocation). It’s an accident waiting to happen.” Candidates running for mayor and council are also split on the issue when asked whether or not they support the move. Mayoral candidate Wendy Bales said she supports moving the highway off of First Avenue, but doesn’t support the current plan. “...many parking spaces would be removed,” said Bales. “That would affect businesses downtown if customers end up going to malls for better parking.” Tony Luck, who is also running for the top seat, said it’s important to get trucks off of First Ave-

nue, but more dialogue needs to take place with the community before a decision is made on moving the road. He also suggested engaging the federal government to share the costs. Mayoralty candidate and former MLA and mayor Randy Hawes said, “I am completely opposed to this project as I struggle to find any upside and can see a huge downside. “If trucks on First Avenue keep shoppers away, then putting all trucks on Railway, single lane two ways, will absolutely bankrupt most businesses on Railway.” Hawes also noted congestion will occur and that two-way traffic on the street was not successful in the past. “That is precisely why the council of the day petitioned the government in 1976 to move to the configuration we have today.” Council candidate Danny Plecas said the decision was “made in haste” and there are many traffic safety concerns that are still unanswered. “If the ministry is going to pour money into the Murray Street overpass (seismic upgrade), why not

replace it with a new overpass that is aligned with a new bypass?” Pam Alexis, who is also running for council, said she would like to look at a larger plan for the bypass and weigh the costs against the realignment project. “I would hate to have new infrastructure taken out at a later date if it needed to be changed to satisfy the larger bypass plan,” said Alexis. “The decision requires more information …” Incumbent Jenny Stevens said she would prefer to look for another less costly solution. “I do want trucks off First Avenue. Without achieving that, the whole downtown revitalization plan is at risk.” Incumbent mayor Ted Adlem said the move is “essential to a true redevelopment of our downtown.” The move was recommended by the public consultation process and needs to be supported, he added. “Downtown is the only shipping location that can add a social element. The highway restructuring will be the start of that,” said council candidate Rhett Nicholson.

is needed to get funding for programs. “Fraser Health is in charge of a lot of these programs, we can’t discount them.” Luck said he is interested in putting together a citizens advisory committee to come up with solutions. Hawes said he has researched addiction services all over B.C. “I never said everyone should be treated with abstinence … We have 14,000 people today doing methadone. It shouldn’t be the first choice. We shouldn’t get people off one drug onto another.” Hawes agreed a broad range of treatment is needed, but noted methadone treatments don’t come out of Fraser Health’s budget. “I think that’s why they push it,” said Hawes. “We need to understand who these people are and how to treat them.” Different views were shared by Luck and Adlem on a seniors’ centre for Mission. Luck said building the centre will not solve all seniors’ issues and favoured more consultation from the public. “It’s a lot of money,” he said. The seniors’ centre proposal is for multi-generational use, said Adlem, noting he sees it being used as a place for seniors during the day, and opened to other users at night. He also added the centre will be built through a partnership with a developer. Bales suggested the health of seniors should be looked after first.

external debt has been paid down, explained Stevens. The current council was able to reduce civic debt, while keeping taxes low, agreed Jewell, who suggested increasing funding for non-profits by up to 20 per cent. Jim Hinds, who volunteers with numerous groups in the community, suggested making the process to apply for grants easier. “The process this council brought in is taking time and expenses (from non-profits),” said Hinds. “Non-profts are the essence of our community,” added Pam Alexis. “The district is so lucky to have non-profits because they do things the district doesn’t.” Terry Stobbart agreed more needs to be done to improve transportation for seniors and others with disabilities. “If you consider people who need (public) transportation to get to their job, we’re failing them terribly,” she said. “A lot of time is wasted on waiting for buses.” Only the West Coast

Express links Mission to Maple Ridge, added Bobby Brar. “We need to increase that.” “Unfortunately, transit in municipalities is a chicken and the egg argument,” said Ronn Harris. “What comes first, passengers or buses?” The cost of transit is “fairly heavy,” said incumbent Larry Nundal. “It’s time to go to the taxpayer who is paying the bill… There is a balance. We have a contract with BC Transit and we don’t have ownership of the buses.” Carol Hamilton pointed out it is challenging for University of the Fraser Valley students to get to classes. “We need to review transit,” she said. Shazad Shah suggested increasing the number of stops, or allowing passengers to call out for stops. The living wage in the Fraser Valley for a family of two parents and two children is calculated to be $17.02 per parent – for basic needs and care, such as food, shelter, childcare, and other household expenses,

according to Living Wage Fraser Valley. When asked if the candidates would support the District of Mission being living wage employers, incumbent Dave Hensman noted there are “Cadillac wages” at city hall. “I don’t think there’s a flea on the window that makes less than living wage (at municipal hall),” said Hensman. Michael Nenn agreed while city hall can’t enforce a living wage, it can promote the development and creation of jobs that pay well. On the topic of affordable housing, Danny Plecas noted it was an issue every community in the Lower Mainland is facing. He suggested networking with resources already available in Mission and build “one unit at a time.” “Council can assist organizations like Mission Community Services,” suggested Barry Jeske, adding the subject of homelessness can be talked about with downtown revitalization. Council shouldn’t be developers of affordable housing, but should be

open to any proposals coming from developers in any area with it, offered Terry Gidda.

Candidates also talked about engaging youth and encouraging them to stay grow and

stay in the community. For more coverage, go to news@missioncityrecord.com

Be safe this Halloween

The annual celebration of Halloween will collide with the beginning of the weekend, this Friday night. Weekends and Halloween can be a potent mix sometimes, as the activities of young trick-or-treaters collide with those of adults who want to celebrate the end of a work week, and in the case of Halloween, often use it as an occasion for a party. There are plenty of alternatives available to parents without the necessity of going outdoors. Many children of course love the experience of dressing up and going door-todoor. Parents should definitely accompany them, and wearing some type of reflective clothing and carrying flashlights is wise. While trick or treating usually doesn’t go on too late, drivers need to be very careful on tonight. The weather has not been particularly good and it will be very dark, no matter what weather conditions are. Take extra precautions, slow down and be extremely alert as you navigate the streets.

As fireworks are not being sold in most communities as part of Halloween any longer, there are fewer issues involving their misuse. Nonetheless, there are always a few individuals who manage to get their hands on some pyrotechnics, so caution is encouraged — both for those who set off fireworks, and for those who are in the vicinity. And if you are among those people who choose to bend the rules, know that the authorities will be watching for you, and the consequences could be unpleasant. Police and fire department personnel usually expect a busy Halloween and will be out in force. Thinking ahead about how to enjoy Halloween in a safe and responsible way is a good way to ensure that all goes well. It can be a fun evening, but at the same time, it is good to take precautions, given the potential of mishaps that can happen on this special annual occaasion. Enjoy your Halloween – safely. – Black Press

Difficult birth for LNG cash cow Tom Fletcher

B.C. Views Debate is underway on the B.C. Liberal government’s tax and environmental plan for liquefied natural gas exports, amid the usual political theatre. Most media reported that the government “slashed” its proposed seven-per-cent LNG processing income tax by half, caving in to demands of international energy giants led by Petronas of Malaysia. The 3.5 per cent tax wouldn’t even take full effect until the massive capital investment is written down, and would rise to five per cent after 20 years of production. All of this casts further doubt on Premier Christy Clark’s extravagant election campaign promise to use LNG revenues to wipe out B.C.’s debt, currently approaching $70 billion, and provide an Alberta-style “prosperity fund” to perform further miracles. The seven per cent figure was the top end

of the range presented this spring while negotiations with LNG investors were ongoing, so it’s not really accurate to say it was “slashed.” This cash calf hasn’t been born yet, and it remains to be seen if it will survive. Finance Minister Mike de Jong pointed out some of the shifts in the global gas market that have reduced expectations. Japan, one of the potential investors, is considering restarting its nuclear plants as it recovers from the 2011 Fukushima earthquake. China’s manic growth is slowing, and it has signed a long-term deal to import cheaper Russian pipeline gas. Oil prices have dropped. The government’s change of tone started with the recent throne speech, which emphasized the fate of B.C.’s only current export market. “Like forestry, B.C.’s natural gas industry has relied on exports to the United States,” the speech observed. “But the American shale gas revolution has meant the export south has dried up – and is never coming back.” So before B.C. gets to that prosperity fund, it’s got to stop the bleeding. You may recall it was a U.S. hurricane-induced spike in gas revenues that allowed the province to spread

an extra billion to calm its labour waters for the 2010 Olympics. The finance ministry estimates that after the startup period, a medium-sized LNG

The government’s change of tone started with the recent throne speech export operation would pay total taxes of around $800 million a year to the province. De Jong notes that this is more revenue than B.C. will collect from the entire forest industry this year, from a single plant. There are 18 currently proposed. This new LNG income tax is nowhere near the biggest source. It’s bigger than the carbon tax that LNG producers will pay on fuel use, but only a fourth of what B.C. collects in royalties for selling the gas. The biggest source of revenue from

this hoped-for plant is “other taxes,” which include sales tax and corporate income tax, which B.C. increased to 11 per cent last year. University of Calgary economist Jack Mintz, who supported B.C. on its ill-fated harmonized sales tax, says this additional LNG tax is wrong-headed at any rate. “If other provinces take the same view with respect to resource taxation, new levies would be applied to oil refining, forest product manufacturing, mining processing and a host of other activities linked to resource industries,” Mintz wrote last week in the Financial Post. If B.C. does get a substantial LNG export industry, it will include gas from Alberta, with royalties going there, not here. And companies are also wrangling with the federal government over its taxes, with local governments and First Nations still in line for their cut. The big question isn’t whether B.C. will get its fair share. It’s whether there will be anything to share.

YOUR VIEWS Slate is an old boys’ network Many in Mission received their third instalment of the “Mission Messenger” and sadly it epitomizes what the public would characterize as “an old boys’ network.” The glaring gender bias of no women represented sends a message of coldness and a perception no women were attracted to the CRMG. During his inaugural speech, Mayor Adlem promised a timely response to seniors’ need for a seniors’ activity centre. Now in the fourth year, a seniors’ task force has made recommendations but seniors still bemoan no centre yet and wonder if it will occur in our lifetime? Yet, there is the mayor making more promises, placing onus upon some elusive developer, just to get the massive seniors’ vote. But the saying,

Stand on guard for Canada Re: Terrorist attack on Canadian soil. Say it like it is, no more sugar coating! As Canadians we are, overall, a peace-loving people. We don’t go looking for the fight but when the fight finds us, we don’t back up and we don’t back down. It’s time for politicians to wake up, step up and do the right thing to protect our country, our people and our way of life. The senseless and tragic murder of Corporal Nathan Cirillo, the wounding of other innocents and the attempt to murder our legislators in the people’s House has shaken us all to the core, but as Canadians, with the world watching, we will stand together and send a strong message to those who would divide us – not happening! Canada, we stand on guard for thee. Ann & Larry Cardus Mission

“fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me,” and the 10,000 senior voters will likely vote for an independent who will make and keep their promise. The other glaring mistruth CRMG alludes to in the second edition, are un-named “self-interests” which is a red herring at best. While a slate can achieve a desired result and did, the traditional independent candidate is still a viable means to elect competent people. This would be particularly true if a group of new likeminded progressive candidates formed an informal alliance of concerned candidates, and published a manifesto incorporating their individual common goals to meet citizens’ needs, such as tax control, stem urban growth, address seniors’ activity centre now, arts centre,

Barge-loading will bring more noise, traffic In the mail I received a notice of public hearing for rezoning R14-024 at 34980 Lougheed Hwy and 35232 Dyke Rd. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to rezone the subject property from industrial general zone to industrial general two zone which would fully authorize the barge-loading use at these two properties as an outright permitted use. As a resident of Mission Hatzic Bench, it is already frustrating with

youth centre and animal welfare, social and safety needs among other important issues. As well, public debate, transparency and open-minded independent councils may often be preferred to a sometimes biased team decision that does not reflect community values. This last term, four members voted non-confidence in the mayor, and Mission citizens do not welcome a repeat of this by the same leadership. There are several very talented women candidates who should be elected, given proven community performance, and it is incongruous why CRMG have not displayed the wisdom to embrace these women into the team. Thus, the old boys’ team as posed may not meet the overall needs of citizens this time. George F. Evens

noise from trains, tugs honking their horns at night, and now the districting is considering allowing a full barge-loading facility across the street from the community of Hatzic Bench. Both these sites are not only directly in front of hundreds of homes in the Hatzic community but also directly on some of the most important sturgeon habitat on the entire Fraser River. To approve a barge-loading facility

will allow for thousands of semi-trucks and trailers to barrel down Hwy. 7 which is already very dangerous highway, not to mention the noise that will come with it. These barge-loading facilities operate all night and will only add to the already unacceptable noise coming from these sites. For the past 20 years, STS Guiding Service has operated from Mission harbour, bringing thousands of anglers from around the world.

These anglers come to fish for trophy sturgeon and spend thousands of dollars in the local community. STS alone represents $5 million annually spent in B.C. and local to Mission, not to mention the many other guide companies bringing anglers to Mission. I would encourage all local fisherman and residents of Hatzic come out to the Nov. 3 public hearing and let your voice be heard. Vic Carrao, Mission

Proud of Canadian military men and women I would like to make a comment about a scene I observed last evening as I was leaving the Royal Canadian Legion, after a rousing evening of bingo. As I was pulling out of the parking lot to leave, I observed two young men standing by the cenotaph. My first thought is they must be there for no good deed as it is so close to Halloween. I observed them for a moment as I wasn’t sure if they were a couple of the homeless that frequent the area.

BURGER $ and a BEER

It was absolutely pouring outside and must have been very uncomfortable for these two young men standing there. I quickly realized that these boys had laid two cellophane bunches of flowers on the base of the memorial, and that although they were wearing ordinary clothes, they must be military personnel. I immediately felt a pang of sadness over my first thoughts that were quickly changed into a feeling of pride and respect over the dedi-

cation of these young men. That one moment in time has made me rethink the feelings and beliefs I have had about our Canadian military for far too long. I now realize the dedication of all the men and women who join, their love and devotion to each other, and the sacrifices their families sometimes have to make to keep us all safe in what is becoming a very scary world. God bless you all. I’m proud. Donice McNee

Former MLA and mayor ‘compelled to run’ again Carol Aun MISSION RECORD

Randy Hawes is ready to put his retirement plans on hold to lead Mission for the next four years. Hawes is running for the mayor’s seat in the Nov. 15 municipal election. He represented Mission as mayor and MLA for 21 years before retiring last year when he didn’t run in the provincial election. Before exiting, Hawes publicly criticized the new leadership of the BC Liberals under Premier Christy Clark, and the direction the party was going. That departure from the Liberals has led some to speculate he will not receive a lot of support from Victoria as mayor. Hawes disputes any inference that he has been ostracized by the party. “I have lots of friends who are senior staff (in Victoria) and MLAs,” said Hawes. “I know my way around Victoria.” The premier is an “astute” woman, said Hawes. “She’s not going

to punish any community because she’s mad at a mayor.” Hawes stands by his record as mayor and MLA and says he has fought hard for the community, even when

RANDY HAWES cuts were made to Mission Memorial Hospital. Since the BC Liberals took office in 2001, MMH has most notably, lost its maternity ward, intensive care unit and specialist doctors. “I certainly fought against it,” said Hawes. “But an MLA does not have the power to fight against the health authority… “When they talked about closing the ER, (MLA) Marc Dalton and I worked our tails off against that. We worked at getting funding for it.

At one point, they talked about closing the hospital.” The changes to MMH were made by Fraser Health and “very seldom” does government override the health authority,

“I am very, very disappointed in not only them (mayor and council), but for myself for supporting them.” Hawes was a part of the original group that formed Mission’s Cit-

If it’s $6 million for the highway, what’s the offset? Where is the money coming from? RANDY HAWES Hawes explained. “I still believe we have a good hospital. I know I did everything I could do to keep the hospital open and keep as many services here as possible.” Hawes says he is passionate about the community and believes Mission needs experienced leadership now. He felt he was “compelled to run” earlier this year when the majority of councillors approved a lack of confidence motion in the mayor.

izens for Responsible Municipal Government in the last election. He told The Record earlier this year he stepped away from the group shortly after the 2011 election when the elected officials also formed the CRMG executive. “A zero per cent tax increase is touted by this group, but protective services was cut by $800,000 in the budget,” said Hawes. “This council is all about gutting services … a zero per cent tax

“I

increase does not work in any community in B.C. It is always, always followed by catch-up.” Hawes said he supported controlled spending when he was a part of CRMG. “I don’t support gutting of core services and publicly attacking staff. It’s so insulting to staff at city hall. I don’t mind attacking someone’s record … but it needs to be factual.” Staff morale at city hall is at an all-time low and the turnover of staff is “unprecedented,” according to Hawes, who believes district business is being conducted behind closed doors. “I think the city is moving backwards rapidly.” Hawes is critical of the district’s current plans to move relocated Highway 7 from First Avenue to N. Railway Avenue. “The revitalization plan, I believe, is a political method of garnering some votes,” said Hawes. “We’re talking about millions, tens of millions of dollars perhaps … yet nowhere has there been any discussion about

the downside of the proposal. I can’t think of any successful operation that plans a project of this size without (looking at) pros and cons. There has been zero discussion of the downside.” If businesses on First Avenue are being hurt by big trucks, what will it do to business on N. Railway, asked Hawes. “What the public doesn’t know is every dollar spent downtown cannot be spent on another part of the city. If it’s $6 million for the highway, what’s the offset? Where is the money coming from? There is zero guarantee this will work. What is the loss to the community?” The district has already spent three years on the downtown plan, shifted the focus of the economic development office, and dedicated staff to the project. As a result, there has been no growth in the industrial sector and there has not been any new commercial projects started, said Hawes, who pointed out that the Smart Centre development anchored

by Walmart, and the new shopping plaza at 11 Avenue and Stave Lake Street were approved by previous councils. Downtown is already vital today, noted Hawes, who says the district needs to address the social problems first. “There’s a big problem down here and it’s getting bigger,” said Hawes. “There are more people addicted, and more needles. This is not tolerable … we’re not doing anything about it now.” Hawes believes a strong police presence in the area will help build relationships with vulnerable citizens. He suggested pulling service groups together to help. “I believe if we work on making downtown both perceived as being safer, and being safer, that’s the first step.”

Mission Healthcare Auxiliary Serving Mission Since 1920

Over 100 dedicated volunteers contribute their time to provide non-medical service and comforts to patients at Mission Memorial Hospital, and to raise funds for medical equipment. Mission Healthcare Auxiliary (MHA) is one of Mission’s oldest volunteer organizations. Its members have been raising funds for health care needs in Mission for more than 90 years. The auxiliary raises money for all projects, such equipment for the hospital or improving patient care in the community, in numerous ways. When the group first formed in 1920, its members heldd teas, bakes sales, and bazaars, but now, most of its funds are raised from sales at The Cottage Thrift Store, located at 33228 First Ave. The group relies on donations from the public to stock the shelves at The Cottage. All money raised through the sale of goods stays in the community. The funds are used to buy equipment for Mission Memorial Hospital and Promoting cts other community projects Mission He alth Care a Mission Fe to improve health care. t st.

New Officer in Charge excited for posting Tyler OLSEN ABBOTSFORD NEWS

After three years at the RCMP’s BC headquarters, Mission’s new head Mountie says he is excited to return to a frontline policing role. Insp. Ted De Jager took command of the Mission RCMP in September. He replaces the detachment’s former head, Insp. Richard Konarski, who retired in September. De Jager had been working as the officer in charge of the Mounties’ operations development unit. “It’s been a month since my official arrival in Mission and I am already settling in,” said De Jager, who

“I have been taking my time to get to know the members and employees at the detachment as well as

years, and had spent more than a decade as a local police officer, most recently in Burnaby. An Abbotsford resident, he says he is excited for his new role. “It’s going to be very exciting being part of the community there,” he said. “I’ve always been a frontline police officer and I’ve always been involved in general duty and operations so I guess this is a great opportunity to do that.

“It’s very exciting to get back to detachment policing. That’s always been my passion.” De Jager said he believes in open communication and consultation. “As we move forward toward the new year, I hope to meet with as many people as possible and begin the work to develop new priorities that meet the needs of our whole community,” he said. De Jager said the downtown core and West Stave Lake will continue to be a focus for officers. “The detachment priorities are something I’ll continue to focus on. Those were well set up and were set up in consultation with the community.” Prior to joining the RCMP, De Jager enjoyed an extensive career with the Canadian Forces and the army. After signing up at the age of 17, De Jager saw stints in Germany and Cambodia, as well as throughout Canada, in a range of roles.

“I loved the army … and had a great career there.” When he made the move to the RCMP in order to stay in the Lower Mainland, he checked a second box off of a decades-old to-do list. “Those were always two things I wanted to do, when I was in high school, either join the armed forces or join the RCMP,” De Jager said. Mission’s new top Mountie said his experience in the military has transitioned well to civilian policing, including “The army way of planning in being very thorough in they not only plan for operations but in how they treat their people and the mission that they have to do have really influenced my approach to policing, both in terms of being very open and clear to people, whether those are clients we’re working with our own members.”

Candidate launches Return to Sender campaign Carol Aun MISSION RECORD

One council candidate in this year’s municipal election is starting a campaign to send back unwanted election material delivered to her house. Since launching the Return to Sender campaign last week on Facebook, Pam Alexis has reached more than 2,400 people with her idea. The movement takes aim at a newsletter sent out by Citizens for Responsible Municipal Government (CRMG) to nearly every address in Mission through Canada Post. “I’ve talked to a lot of people who don’t want this in their house,” said Alexis. “I don’t want it in

my house.” Alexis explained she wanted to do something about it without turning her election campaign into a negative one. “This is probably the most dignified way to protest this,” said Alexis, who started the campaign by purchasing a “Return to Sender” photo and sharing it on Facebook. “Please join me in a campaign to return the

Mission Messenger to Ted Adlem care of City Hall,” wrote Alexis, who also encouraged others to share the image. “I have looked at (Mission Messenger) and feel there is a tremendous amount of mistruths, and perhaps some exaggerations,” Alexis explained. Alexis criticized some material in the newsletter, which she believes “slams” every municipal

council in Mission for the past 20 years and has shown “tremendous disrespect” to district staff. “People need to have something they can do (about the newsletter). I didn’t ask for this; it was mailed to me.” “As a corporation mandated to deliver Canada’s mail, items that are deemed mailable must be accepted for delivery,” said Carley Smith, manager of medial relations for Canada Post. Smith also noted Canada Post offers a Consumer Choice program for residents who don’t want flyers like the Messenger. “… but it should be noted that joining this program also removes

you from all unaddressed admail, including municipal mailings and notices, community flyers and newsletters,” said Smith. To stop receiving unaddressed advertisements, residents can leave a note in their mailbox stating they don’t want to receive unaddressed mail. According to the Canada Post website, the only unaddressed mail

that will continue to be delivered to these homes will be community newspapers, as well as mailings from the House of Commons, provincial chief electoral officers, municipal electoral offices and Elections Canada. The newsletters are a part of CRMG’s election campaign, explained Mayor Ted Adlem, who has no plans to change his slate’s strategy.

People who are serious about getting elected, should be campaigning, not complaining, said Adlem, who is not confirming how many more newsletters CRMG will be mailed out. “We budgeted for six,” he said. Anyone who doesn’t want to receive the bulk mail out should contact Canada Post, Adlem suggested.

Three families who live on the south side of Best Avenue near Cedar Street and their supporters held a peaceful protest outside municipal hall Monday night to pressure the district into adressing their situation. They say their CAROL AUN PHOTO homes are sinking because they were built on unstable fill on top of a culvert.

Owners of sinking homes rally at district hall Carol Aun MISSION RECORD

Owners of the three homes on the south side of Best Avenue near Cedar Street rallied outside municipal hall last week to pressure the district into settling their dispute. They, along with supporters, plan to hold another rally next Monday outside municipal hall around 5:30 p.m. Three homes on the south side of Best Avenue near Cedar Street continue to “sink,” according to Emalee Bridger, one of the homeowners. She was terrified this past Saturday when she heard a loud creak coming from her living room. The sound she heard was a joist underneath her living room floor cracking. “It sounded like a loud firecracker,” explained Bridger, who ran out of her bedroom with her four-year-old daughter to investigate. “With this weather, heavy rainfall, (our

homes) are changing each day with more settlement issues.” Bridger’s partner, Scott Geisser, placed a jack stand underneath the house to hold it up and now the family is staying away from that section of their living room. “It just goes to show how much pressure is on the joists and beams,” said Bridger. She and Geisser bought the house in 2006, and began noticing the shifts in 2010. The floors tilted, walls cracked and door frames became skewed. There were voids in the crawl space. Their immediate neighbours to the east and west of them also saw similar changes in their homes. The owners have been working with the district to try to reach a settlement. The lack of progress has led all three families to file civil claims in court against the district, seeking compensation for their damaged

homes. They allege the properties were not properly inspected and the homes should not have been approved for development. But it wasn’t until two years later they discovered their house was built on top of a statutory right of way registered to the District of Mission. They suspect the decommissioned culvert underneath their home has collapsed, creaking a “sink hole” underneath the house. Inside Cory O’Donnell’s house, there is an eight-inch drop in his basement. An engineering report indicated the house has to be rebuilt, said O’Donnell, who is packing up his belongings in case he needs to move. “I think they’ll condemn this place,” said O’Donnell, who alleges the houses are built on top of bad fill. O’Donnell said he and his neighbours “shouldn’t suffer for what the city did (allow

houses to be built on top of a culvert)” In a press release last week, the District of Mission stated the matter has been handed over to its legal counsel and the Municipal Insurance Association of BC. “The District of Mission is focused on protecting the interests of the community and encourages a swift and fair resolution.” The homeowners obtained a mediator and are trying to get all the parties involved to together, said Bridger, who believes the district should meet with all the property owners with or without the engineering firm that signed off on the stability of the land when Bridger and Geisser’s house was built. “The district can sue (the engineers) afterwards,” she added. “Stop trying to divide us. Settle us as one.” The meeting is scheduled for Nov. 12.

EDUCATION: Graduated from senior high school and continued my education on the job. OCCUPATION: Retired in 2013 after a career in banking with TD Canada Trust and Envision Financial in Mission. POLITICAL EXPERIENCE: School Trustee for Mission Public Schools for past nine years. RESIDENCY: Mission COMMUNITY ACTIVITY: Rotarian; Fraser House board member; director on the Chamber of Commerce; board member Mission Foundation. Involved in the BC Winter Games hosted by Mission. THE ISSUES: Three issues voters should consider: 1. Trust and integrity in your council. I bring a proven record of both trust and integrity with my “resume”. 2. Do you want a proven Leader and someone who is invested in Mission? I am a proven leader having been a branch manager of a Credit Union for eight years and I have lived in Mission for 40 years and been an active volunteer. 3.Fiscal responsibility. Voters do need to be confident that mayor and council are being “stewards” of the taxpayers money. It isn’t always that taxes have been kept at zero. Voters should be asking how was that done. What have we given or not done to keep taxes low?

Previous director and presidency Canadian Homebuilder’s Association (Fraser Valley chapter); previous executive director and chair, Fraser Valley Credit Union (now Prospera); provided a miniature free “petting zoo” and park for the enjoyment of the neighbourhood. THE ISSUES: • Efficient and effective use of the revenues the district generates. This is best summed up by “making the most out of what we’ve got”. • Pay off our debt so we have financial resources to better deal with and react to needs, both now and in the future. The progress CRMG-led council has made to date in reducing the municipal debt is already saving us over $1,000 per day. • Infrastructure maintenance. Mission has over $400 million in infrastructure assets, and if a comprehensive ongoing emphasis is not placed on maintenance and upgrading, the resultant costs to the city for make-do or band-aid fixes could be overwhelming. Sewer line maintenance, for example, is not glamorous but if the sewer system fails, as anyone who has ever had their toilet plug up can testify, the world comes to a halt. CRMG’s record on these three issues - spending, debt reduction, and infrastructure maintenance speaks for itself. All other things can fall into line if our own house is in order. Further, ongoing active civic engagement is the key ingredient in the ongoing prosperity and vitality of our community. With everyone having their voice heard and acknowledged, everyone can get on the same page and work together to best handle the social and economic issues that confront us daily. Singling out only one issue over others confuses the picture and fragments the overall response. Only with everyone informed and participating as a team can we manage to advance for the betterment of all. If one fails to see the forest for the trees, we will never move constructively, deci-

POLITICAL SLATE: CRMG OCCUPATION: Manager in food and beverage RESIDENCY: Mission COMMUNITY ACTIVITY: Chamber of Commerce (director), events committee ISSUES: 1. To have a debt-free future by keeping the tax base sustainable for the taxpayers of Mission, while keeping expenditures in line with the rate of inflation and the rate of growth. 2. To continue on the path of a revitalized downtown being a business and family friendly community asset with a “Robson Street” feel, while actively working to make sure Mission continues to be the most business friendly community in BC. 3. To see a permanent seniors centre built in collaboration with seniors and partnerships with private business to make it a reality in the next council term. As your council representative, I will bring both idealism and common sense to all we do. It’s time to find a higher gear as a district, and make sure all Mission residents are along for a exciting journey and with your CRMG team - we are clearly on that road. Councillors should choose the challenges best met by district council, we should set our goals and design action plans. Most importantly put in place measures of success, and expect those measures to be met. Remember one dollar spent on one program is one dollar that cannot be spent on another. We have to choose the solutions with the best return for the most people. Our elected team means you can expect results for the money spent. CONTINUED ON 15

Jim Hinds

EDUCATION: Instructor diploma adult education.

OCCUPATION: Electrical safety trainer RESIDENCY: Mission COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: President Mission Agriculture Association 19861994; Mission Art Council Christmas Craft Fair Committee1986- 2014; Mission Candlelight Parade Marshall & Committee Organizer 1994-2014; Mission Raceway 1991-2005 volunteer and club member. Chamber Tourism committee member. ISSUES: Public Safety: For the last nine years we have been under-strength for our police force. I will work to bring our force up to its authorized strength of 50 officers. I would also work to get a police presence in the downtown area. We are seeing a steady increase in drug use in our downtown area. The present council is willing to spend millions by making the downtown core pretty yet at the same time reporting they have saved $800,000 on public safety. The last council was also going to add more full time members to the fire department. This council not only cancelled that, but declared that it would not happen on their watch. Homelessness and poverty: A lot of the people that are on the streets have drug and alcohol problems that the needs to be addressed. I have heard many times in council that this is a provincial problem and I agree it should be, but they are underfunding the programs that are available and it is in our town we need to deal with it. There is no second stage house where people who are trying to detox can go. Infrastructure repairs and replacement: The last couple of councils have put money aside in major capital reserves. These

funds were to be used for replacement and repair of sewer lines, storm sewers and water mains. This council got $6 million-plus from the federal government and also a gas tax refund from the provincial government. They tried to use this money for the highway moving and downtown revitalization, but found because of restrictions they could not. So what they are doing is putting this money into capital reserves and removing money from there and putting it into general reserves. They will then take that money and use it for the highway and downtown, at the same time telling you it will not cost the taxpayer anything.

their taxes are too high for the level of services they receive. I believe so strongly in the ability to lower residential property taxes by 5 per cent. If elected I pledge to donate half of my councillor’s wage to local Mission charities until this goal is obtained. Mission’s high taxes possibly can be related back to municipal waste of taxpayers’ dollars. I have noticed a number of RFPs being rewarded to out- of-province consulting firms. Why? Did we even need the RFPs to begin with?

EDUCATION: Apprenticeship and Trade School. OCCUPATION: Funeral director and embalmer, self-employed in Abbotsford and Mission. RESIDENCY: Surrey. I work at our business in Abbotsford and I help out at my wife’s business in Mission and am planning to relocate to Mission. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: Volunteer at church. THE ISSUES: Three issues I believe residents of Mission are concerned about: 1.Crime and Safety; 2. High property taxes; 3. Waste of taxpayers’ dollars. Crime and safety can be addressed in the new agreement with the RCMP. Working closer with the RCMP and developing a stronger community policing presence are a start. The addition of more RCMP members is essential. More emphasis on the downtown Community Policing office and also perhaps a Citizen Patrol program like in Abbotsford need to happen. High property taxes need to be addressed. A lot of people I talk to say

OCCUPATION: Small business owner (Sue’s Copy Place). POLITICAL EXPERIENCE: Board member Downtown Business Association; President of the Mission Optimist Club. RESIDENCY: Mission. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: Creator and organizer of Missionfest Downtown Street Fair; creator and youth adviser for the Junior Optimist Club of Mission and the CBC-recognized magazine “Optimix”; Organizer Safe Halloween trick-or-treating downtown Mission; marketing for Rockin’ River Musicfest; volunteer for: Canada Day; Adopt - a Block; MAC Children Festival; Riot of Reading; Fire Safety Week; Street Hope (Feeding the Hungry); BC Day; and Youth Week. THE ISSUES: Mission voters have a chance this election to really impact the future of Mission. With a large demographic of young families and seniors, Mission needs to focus on the overall safety, economy and spirit of our community. Politicians need to recognize the needs of our community – the hot button issues that effect all of us.

Public safety - Our current status is below par. We need to listen to our expert staff and let them do their jobs. Our family parks are in disarray and are clearly a low priority. Meth labs are popping up due to the lax bylaws created by our council. The overall disconnect of our community leaves us fending for ourselves. If elected, I will work hard to repair relationships with staff, re-engage the community to take pride in our public spaces and stand up for them. We need to find money, even if we have to reach out to our local service clubs to rebuild our parks in order to show our children and grandchildren we care and what it takes to be apart of a strong community. Last we need to revisit the bylaws related to illegal property activities and make sure our city is protected and our citizens are safe. The Local Economy - A strong economy will bring new investment. This will start with branding Mission. Mission has so much to offer. Let’s make it the tourist destination to our neighbouring cities. We already have a strong base for tourism. It’s already started but now we need to organize it, package it and promote it. Why drive from Surrey all the way to Kelowna or Whistler when we can offer the same thing in a third of the distance. If we build a strong business base, we will build strong businesses. Investors want to invest in a strong economy, with leaders willing to work with them. We need to shed our current label of in-fighting government and being hard to work with. With my education and experience I believe I am a clear can-

didate to lead Mission to a new, brighter and more profitable future. Community - As an experienced community activist, I know the challenges we face. Realistically, we are actually in good shape. The trick is coordination. We have some of the most amazing community leaders. You can tell by the amount of festivals our city boasts. We have strong service clubs, churches and non-profits already working hard for us. We need to co-ordinate these efforts and branch out. Connect with our new neighbours here to enjoy the affordable properties. If we can’t take the people to the community let’s take community to the people. An example would be set-up festivals and events at local parks and school gyms all over Mission. This will give us an avenue for education, participation and a chance for inclusion.

THE ISSUES: 1. Homelessness. As a multi-layered problem that reflects mental health, advocacy and proper service allocation. My plan is to advocate for dialogue to the provincial government to re-instate services around mental health. I also see myself representing the voice of those that are marginalized to ensure their needs are not pushed to the side. 2. Taxes. No tax increases means we are loosing services. Sewage is expected to grow by 2 per cent, population by at least that. Instead of looking at cutting services, letting our infrastructures fall apart, and creating low morale within the people that make our city run, my goal is creating a vibrant industry with tourism to offset the high property taxes. By also looking at what a community needs and not just subdividing rural land to put money in select few pockets, my plan is to build upon the communities we have while ensuring to keep our taxes low. 3. Public Safety. Citizens don’t feel safe. From finding discarded needles, to the increase in wait-list for inspections, our city has fallen on the things that make us safe. We need to re-address safety within our community in a much more engaging way by increasing law enforcement and fire fighters, building on partnerships, education, and working with task forces to eliminate gang presence within our community.

Held positions in PACS and political boards in Abbotsford and Mission; volunteer with the Mission Air Cadet program ISSUES: Safety. This is what I am hearing from people. They want safe sidewalks, safe walking at night, ability to feel safe in the community and an answer to the problems on 1st street that keep people from coming downtown, which leads me to the next priority. Homelessness. This is a problem that not only our community faces but everywhere. We need to lobby more for provincial assistance financially and build low-barrier shelters that encourage people to seek resources that can help them up out of the awful situation they are in. Whether it mental health, or just finding ways to assist people to CONTINUED ON 16

get off the street. We need to have compassion, yet a working plan to deal with this. Having rental units that are reasonably priced and easy to access is a huge factor. Taxes. We need to have a balanced view on taxes. I can’t promise anything here, as I am only one vote, if elected, on a team of seven. We need to work together to bring a balanced tax proposal to the citizens that keeps it low, and funds our police (which in turn addresses our safety issue as well) firemen and maintenance of our services. I don’t believe in zero taxes, but I do believe in keeping them low, and making sure we use our tax dollars wisely and responsibly. It is far more preferable to have regular low increases than to be hit with a

large tax year because we have fallen behind in our resources. I do believe we need to be a responsible governance for our city and use the tax dollars wisely, make sure we are getting the best bang for our buck, and represent all interests as best we can.

RESIDENCY: Hatzic. COMMUNITY ACTIVITY: Served on the executive of the Fraser Valley Mountain Bike Association. ISSUES: Downtown - A lot of people measure a city by its downtown. They use it as a measuring stick as to how the community is doing. From talking to friends and people who come into Mission to visit us they all say the same thing: “The downtown is ugly. Do you ever go there?” I usually respond with a positive reply such as “we are working on it, it’s going to get better”. We do have some great shops in our downtown. Downtown has great potential to be the main street we want it to be. At one point Port Coquitlam was rated the ugliest

downtowns in Canada for a city that size and they took it very seriously. Over time they replaced the street lights with old style cast iron ones, they hung flowers, bylaws were passed requiring businesses to adhere to rules around sign size and look. Store fronts were required to look a certain way. This did not happen over night but if you go to visit downtown PoCo now it is vibrant and attractive. I don’t believe that we need to spend millions of dollars to make this happen. With proper guidelines and enforcement we will see a change to the Downtown that will make it vibrant and accessible. Youth - Youth are the future leaders of our community, country, world! I can’t think of a more important and least understood group in our community. I have been fortunate to work as a youth worker for many years in Port Coquitlam and a recreation programmer with a focus on youth while with the Township of Langley.

Under utilized resources in our community - From parks that are not used due to lack of attractions to the wonderful staff that run the city.

Let’s listen to the staff that are “feet on the ground”. Let’s sit down with staff and ask them what is wrong and how to fix it.

If elected I will work to promote Industrial and commercial projects to improve our taxbase. 3. Homeless and drugs. This serious problems needs attention. Several agencies need to work on these issues. The police, the council, Mission Community Services and Fraser Health. If elected I will try to work with these agencies to tackle the problem.

POLITICAL EXPERIENCE: Three-year term as councillor, District of Mission RESIDENCY: Mission COMMUNITY ACTIVITY: Director Mission Community Foundation, Director Fraser Valley Regional

As one of the candidates for mayor I recognize the importance of many issues facing our wonderful community. Homelessness, public safety, downtown revitalization, economic development, environmental sustainability and stewardship, the infrastructure deficit, tourism and of course taxation. Representing only one vote on council in a traditional weak mayor system it will be important for the new mayor to gain the trust of council and work closely with them to move Mission forward

in a respectful and collaborative way. I strongly believe that this election for the mayor’s seat is really about leadership, vision and citizen engagement. The new mayor must set a positive tone for the rest of council to follow, and rebuild bridges both inside and outside the community. I want to work on rebuilding the trust of staff, council and the public. Having said that, sometimes the answer will be “no” or “not at this time.” Part of my leadership will be to recognize my weaknesses. One of them is my knowledge and understanding of the homelessness and mental health issues. Thus I will be establishing a mayor’s task force

on homelessness and social issues to help find ways to deal with these growing problems. I have expressed my vision of having a vibrant, active, fun community in a few years. I see Mission becoming a tourist hot spot with a revitalized downtown featuring exciting restaurants and boutique shops for the tourists and locals and a dynamic West Stave recreational area to draw people in from all over the Lower Mainland. To further develop these ideas and others I will be establishing a nayor’s citizens advisory committee to help develop and prioritize community initiatives and projects. It’s part of a bigger plan to establish stronCONTINUED ON 17

We cannot allow homelessness and addiction to be an excuse for unacceptable behaviour. 2. Public safety and essential services: The pursuit of a zero tax increase has resulted in a cut of over $800,000 in the budget for protective services. This includes cutting a fire inspector position which has resulted in a backlog of near 700 commercial and industrial building inspections. Similarly, the engineering and public works budget has been cut by over $2 million between 2011 and 2013. This is road and infrastructure maintenance and repair. Public safety and key infrastructure should never be compromised in any circumstance. These services must be restored.

3. Many millions can be spent on yet another downtown revitalization plan or we can take a more modest approach to downtown and use those many millions to build community infrastructure in your neighbourhood to enhance life for your family. The Downtown Revitalization Plan calls for a $6 million move of Highway 7 onto Railway Avenue, losing 100 parking places. Millions more to be spent on three downtown parks, widening sidewalks downtown and even building an entertainment plaza. This is a gamble with no

guarantee of success. I propose a more modest approach starting with a police presence downtown, speed limit enforcement, and dealing with the homeless and addiction problem. Losing parking and failing to act on the addictions problem downtown guarantees failure. Instead of gambling millions downtown, I propose spreading these funds into neighbourhoods throughout our community for sidewalks, park amenities, and needed infrastructure.

Cedar Valley Manor is proud to announce that it has now finished construction and new residents are starting to move in! Cedar Valley Manor, the latest housing project built by the Mission Association for Seniors Housing, located at Cedar Street, south of Cherry Avenue, offers retirees of Mission, Abbotsford, and the Fraser Valley a unique opportunity to downsize but also keep that small community feel that people are looking for as they age. Judith Ray, President of MASH, is quoted as saying: “Cedar Valley Manor offers the opportunity to downsize to the new, comfortable, apartment‐style living that retirees in Mission have been waiting for. “ With no worries about maintenance, yard work, or, depreciation costs Cedar Valley Manor aims to be the place where people over 55 years of age can relax and downsize in comfort. Cedar Valley Manor has four floors and 42 units, with a variety of suite layouts. Some suites are still available, but now that the building is complete, Kate Mancer, the sales director for CVM, expects them to sell quickly. As a life lease, Cedar Valley Manor offers residents a unique opportunity to protect the equity they’ve built up in their homes, but also live in a building that will be well managed and they can feel secure about who their neighbours are – unlike a regular condo. Envision Financial provided the construction financing necessary for Cedar Valley Manor, and MASH would like to extend its sincerest thanks to Envision helping make the dream of a new home for seniors in Mission a reality. Any further media questions should be directed to the Cedar Valley Manor’s Director of Marketing, Stephen Mancer. His contact information can be found at the top of this release.

MAYORIAL CANDIDATES: In their words

ISSUES: 1. A vibrant downtown is the centerpiece of a thriving and cohesive community. I fully support the commitment to revitalize the downtown. The plan must be realistic and affordably staged. It must include addressing issues of the homeless and affordable housing. More work needs to be done to address parking and traffic flow issues to ensure the plan addresses present challenges while anticipating future needs. Improve and expand public infrastructure: I will work to address transportation issues on the highway route, while keeping in mind expansion options for future rapid rail. 2. Enhance and protect the local economy: I believe we can offer incentives to promote community resilience and job creation locally, that could include retrofits for energy conservation and the growing renewable economies that would include energy retrofits and local food security. Mission has tremendous assets that need to be supported and optimized, including a world class fishing and tourism industry, a major

university, and some of the best farmland in the Fraser Valley. As one of two directors that did not vote in favor of the FVRD raises in directors’ pay. If elected as mayor of Mission I will donate my Mission Mayor and FVRD raise amounts to start sustainability initiatives. 3. Healthy community policies: My son was born at Mission Memorial Hospital 28 years ago when it was one of the best full service hospitals in B.C. – I remain as committed to lobbying to restoring acute care services for our community. We need to prepare for growing health care needs. I want to be more proactive in ensuring a healthy environment for all Mission citizens. We must address potable water issues while improving delivery systems. We need to address the social issues and needs for the young and aging populations. We need to develop strategies to build more affordable housing. As someone who has been self-employed for many years, I understand that free enterprise is a great motivator for productivity, but I also understand the need to keep some things under public management to protect and balance the best interests of the public.

Bride

Lilian Dudfield came to Canada as a war bride in 1945. She served in the Civil Defence in Britain and was a part of the Women’s Army during the Second World War. Every Remembrance Day, she puts on her medals and a poppy to pay tribute to all the men and women who have served their country. The following are excerpts from her self published autobiography, A War Bride’s Story. “It was there, early in 1940 that I met a Canadian soldier in the Regina Rifles whom I started to correspond with. After such letters, another soldier named Al took over writing me and we arranged to meet in London at the Oxford Circus Underground station. I was waiting for this particular soldier at the specified time and place, not knowing what he looked like. This Canadian was Albert Joseph Peters, the man I eventually married. Al was quite tall, broad-shouldered, dark hair and complexion, clean-shaven and really very good looking … “I wanted to get into the Air Force — they had such nice uniforms! However, much to my dismay, I was eventually placed in the Auxiliary Territorial Service,

the Women’s Army, and started my training on June 12, 1942 at Wrexham in the western part of England, near Wales. “Al had been home on leave (actually A.W.O.L) I later found out) in November 1941, and he asked me to marry him… “We decided that we would get married and set the date for May 29, 1943. Clothing was bought by coupon only and I did not have sufficient for a wedding dress or bridesmaid’s dresses, so, I purchased some lacy curtain material, which wasn’t rationed, and our friend, Joyce Standen, made the dress … Mummy managed to get the fruit and other ingredients, (as much as she could from friends and neighbours, as this was rationed as well), and made a gorgeous three tiered wedding cake: this was beautifully iced and decorated with both our army insignias by one of our talented neighbours. “I was still stationed in Aldershot and Al was on Salisbury Plain. We didn’t know it at the time, but plans were underway for the Expeditionary Forces, made up of the Allied Armies, to invade France. We

managed to get home on leave together quite often. The air raids were still going on at night … We were back sleeping in the house again; we both felt we would rather be killed together than huddled in an air raid shelter. By this time, I had found out I was pregnant … I notified my unit and, after a medical to prove that I really was pregnant, I was given an honourable discharge from the army in September 1943… “My due date was Feb. 26, 1944 and I awoke on that day, a Saturday, with an aching back… morning came and I was no further along, or so it seemed … However, at approximately 7 p.m. the doctor came and somehow Michael Albert (for that was the name we had chosen if a boy) was born… “Al applied for and got proper compassionate leave this time and came home to me and his ‘little Indian,’ as he called him, for two weeks … Al did get home for another leave once more before all leave was cancelled. Our men were preparing for D-Day and the invasion of Normandy… “I was at the hairdressers on the

22 The Mission Record Friday, October 31, 2014

From previous page morning of June 6, 1944, when we hear over the radio that the Allies had invaded France. It was the news we had been waiting for, but it was still a shock to actually hear that the invasion had finally started. I knew Al was in it, but just exactly where he was, I didn’t know… “During the evening of June 22, I had a feeling as if Al was touching me on the should and saying that I should ‘sit down as I was going to have a shock.’ “ … The following day, I received a telegram from the War Office. I remember thinking before I opened it, ‘Perhaps he is just wounded.’ and then ‘no, he isn’t, he’s been killed” and that was just what it said. “

“Michael had his first birthday in Cranfield … I had by this time decided to find out about emigrating to Canada. Al’s family had been corresponding with me and there was a plan for War Brides to emigrate. I was anxious to leave England with all the sad things that had been going on. I wanted to meet Al’s family and I wanted them to see his son… “The idea of my leaving England with Michael was very distressing to my mother and we had a lot of arguments about it. However, my mind was made up and I applied for passage to Canada… “There was a soldier from the Regina Rifles on board our ship who had been in the battle when Al was killed, and

he was able to give me some information of how it happened. It appeared that Al was laying telephone lines as they were advancing after they had landed on D-Day, when he was shot and killed by a sniper. He was buried in the garden of the town’s (Caen) mayor as a temporary measure and later was reburied in the Canadian Cemetery at Beny-sur-mer in Normandy. It gave me some feeling of comfort to have been able to speak with a soldier who had actually been there. I was fortunate to receive a photo of the grave shortly after the war from one of the inhabitants of that town.” Lilian is now 93 years old and lives at Cedarbrooke Chateau in Mission.

Lilian and her 1st husband Al, were married during World War II.

Health Without Wealth As the fall harvest comes to a close, we find an abundance of local produce on our grocery shelves and our farmers’ market. An economical and nutritious food we sometimes overlook is the pumpkin. Not just for Halloween or special occasions, fresh pumpkin is easier to prepare than you might think. Pumpkins are versatile, low calorie and rich with vitamins, especially Vitamin A and

B-complex., minerals, fibre and antioxidants. The seeds are a good source of fibre and healthy monounsaturated fats. The smaller varieties are sweeter than the large ones, but any pumpkin can be used in recipes. Buying fresh pumpkin and making your own puree for cooking and baking will usually leave you with plenty extra that you can freeze for later use, which can save you money.

Pumpkin Soup INGREDIENTS: ¾ cup water, divided 1 small onion, chopped 2 cups pumpkin puree 2 cups unsalted vegetable broth ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 cup fat-free milk 1/8 teaspoon black pepper Directions In a large saucepan, heat ¼ cup water over medium heat. Add onion and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Don’t let onion dry out. Add remaining water, pumpkin, broth, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the milk and cook until hot. Don’t allow to boil. Makes 4 servings. This is a low fat, low sodium and low calorie recipe adapted from www.mayoclinic.org

For a low calorie, healthy dessert, try this Pumpkin-Pie Pudding: INGREDIENTS: 2 cups 2% reduced-fat milk ¾ cup brown sugar ¼ cup cornstarch 2 large eggs 1 cup pumpkin ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon pumpkin-pie spice (or cinnamon, nutmeg to taste) Directions Whisk milk, sugar, and cornstarch in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Boil 3 minutes, whisking constantly. Beat eggs with a whisk in a large bowl. Gradually add half the hot milk mixture to the beaten eggs. Return milk-egg mixture to pan. Cook over medium heat 3 minutes, or until thick, whisking constantly. Remove from heat; stir in pumpkin, salt, and pumpkin-pie spice. Spoon evenly into 6 (6ounce) custard cups. Let cool, and chill for about 30 minutes, or until pudding is set (adapted from www. health.com).

To make the puree, cut the pumpkin in half, discard the stem and scoop out the stringy pulp. If you enjoy pumpkin seeds, separate them out and set aside for roasting later. In a shallow baking dish, place the pumpkin halves face down and cover with foil. Bake in a preheated 375’ oven for an hour and a half or until tender. Let cool, and scoop out the pulp. You can mash with a potato masher, or puree with a

blender or food processor. A small pumpkin (about 4 pounds) will give you at least 1 ½ cups of mashed or pureed pumpkin. To roast the pumpkin seeds, rinse well with water, and remove the stringy pulp. Place the seeds on a lightly oiled baking tray and stir to coat, or spray with cooking oil. Bake at 325’F until toasted for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Dentures wearers do not need to struggle 10%! That is all the chewing function you keep when you get your first set of dentures. Fast forward 10, 20 or even 50 years and that is often how long it has been since some dentures have been serviced or replaced and chewing function may be down to 5% or less. Most cars are better maintained than most dentures are! Is it any wonder why so many denture wearers struggle with poorly fitting dentures? What can be done to improve the fit? Is there any hope? As a denturist I hear these comments from frustrated individuals every day. Before proceeding with any treatment I always spend time explaining why full and partial dentures have limitations. Here are some very important facts that everyone needs to know about dentures: • The upper and lower jaws are designed for teeth. • When some or all teeth are

removed dentures are placed that fit on the jaw bones. The upper jaw is usually in much better shape than the lower. This has everything to do with jaw size and chewing forces. The lower jaw is usually about half the size of the upper jaw which means that when the denture teeth meet during chewing the lower jaw receives double the forces than the upper jaw bone which leads to greater bone loss in the lower jaw. So, what can be done to ensure that dentures fit well? • Regular check-ups and maintenance are crucial to ensure that complete and partial dentures function as well as possible. Since bone loss is very gradual it is crucial that dentures are relined regularly, about every two years, to compensate for jaw bone shrinkage and to ensure that the chewing forces are evenly distributed over the entire jaw bone. A soft liner in a complete lower denture also cushions and lessens the chewing

forces. • Dentures need to be replaced on a regular basis to restore proper chewing function and to rebuild facial appearance to compensate for lower jaw shrinkage. Most dental insurance plans allow new dentures every five years. • Is there any hope to get great fitting dentures when I talk about all these limitations? Would you like to be able to bite into an apple or enjoy corn on the cob? Dental implants are a wonderful option that allow denture wearers to eat whole foods once again that taste so much better and are much healthier. Depending on the number of implants and denture prostheses it is possible to restore anywhere from 30-90% of chewing function again. • Our clinic works with a team of dedicated dentists who will place dental implants. We then make the dentures that attach to the implants. Our patients with implant supported dentures are very happy

with their investment and now enjoy a wider range of healthy food options. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your denture needs please call Fischer Denture Clinic at 604-814-0244 and come in for a complimentary consultation to ensure that you get dentures that fit well. Markus Fischer RD, RDT, PID Denturist

We make dentures that fit! “I had dentures made 2 years ago with another denturist. They were loose, didn’t fit and I always had sore spots. I couldn’t wear them without adhesive! I heard that Markus could help. He relined my upper and lower dentures. Wow! I’ve never experienced a well fitting denture until now! I can bite, chew, and smile! My dentures fit wonderfully since I came to see Markus!” —Lilly G. ~ Abbotsford, BC

Enjoy the freedom of

Dental Implants These people have something to smile about. They used to wear dentures, which caused discomfort, an inability to eat many foods and a lack of conÀdence when it came to smiling and talking. Now they enjoy the freedom of NobelSmile dental implants, which are as close to natural teeth as you can get. People who lose a tooth want to replace it with something permanent, says Dr. Lui, instead of something they have to remove. “Once you give someone new, permanent teeth, you can see their personality shine through again.”

Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Fraser Valley needs volunteers

GALLERY 7 THEATRE PRESENTS WILLIAM GOLDING’S

ADAPTED FOR THE STAGE BY NIGEL WILLIAMS

Men particularly needed for program in Mission area Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Fraser Valley is recruiting Mission volunteers, and men are especially needed. Only one man has applied to be a Big Brother in the past year, said mentoring coordinator Cassie Silva. There are currently eight boys on the wait list for a Big Brother, and some have been waiting over two years. “It’s unfortunate, but some of the kids blame themselves and feel like nobody is ‘choosing’ them,” said Silva, who tries to explain to the kids that there just haven’t been men volunteering. “It’s tough when I get a phone call from a little boy asking if I’ve found him a Big Brother yet.” A recent research study conducted by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health found that compared to girls without a mentor, mentored girls are 2.5 times more likely to be confident in their ability to succeed at school, and four times less likely to bully, fight, lie or negatively express anger. Mentored boys are two times less likely to develop negative conducts like bullying,

fighting, lying, cheating, and losing their temper, and are two times more likely to believe that school is fun and that doing well academically is important. There are currently 10 boys being mentored in Mission as part of the program– two by Abbotsford men who commute to Mission to visit their Little Brother, and one by a female mentor. “I know there are lots of fantastic men in Mission who would make a positive role model for one of the boys on our wait list,” said Silva. “ We just need to raise awareness about the need.” Being a Big Brother is a two- to four-hour commitment once a week for one year, but there are also shorter term opportunities available, such as becoming an in-school mentor, visiting a child at his or her elementary school once a week for one hour during the school year. Volunteers can also offer to take a group of wait list kids out once a month to do an activity. Teen mentors in Grade 10-12 can also volunteer to visit a Little Buddy at a nearby elementary or middle school.

Two boys in Mission waiting for their Big Brothers are Austin and Chase. Austin is nine years old and has been on the waitlist for over two years. His father is not in his life, and his mother is coping with a life-threatening illness and is not able to be as active with him as she would like to be. Austin loves coming to agency

events and hanging out. He would love to play sports with a Big Brother, especially football. Chase, 12, would like a Big Brother to help increase his self-esteem and confidence. His father passed away and Chase wishes a mentor would occasionally take him to movies like his dad used to. Chase enjoys video games,

science, biking, skateboarding and mini golf. If you know of a Mission man (or woman) who might be interested in being a mentor please call 604-820-3337 or emailcassie.silva@ bigbrothersbigsisters.ca For more information on Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Fraser Valley visit www.mentoringworks.ca

Residents moving into Cedar Valley Manor Resident are now moving into Mission’s newest housing development for seniors. Cedar Valley Manor (CVM), located south of Cherry Avenue at

Cedar Street, was built by Mission Association for Seniors Housing (MASH). There are 42 units in the building and a variety of layouts.

STARING AT MONSTERS

The German philosopher, Nietzsche said that when you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you, and that when you stare at monsters, the monsters stare back at you. By the abyss, Nietzsche may have meant the emptiness and ultimate meaninglessness of existence. And thus, what Nietzsche seems to be saying is that anyone who looks at life as devoid of meaning will have this reflected back at them. A person who considers life to be meaningless will likely reflect this in some kind of existential despair. Likewise, we cannot look at or expose ourselves to evil and be unaffected by it. There is much to be said for believing that life is good and worth living, and for living the kind of life that makes it so. And although each of us may occasionally have to jump over the abyss and struggle with monsters, we shouldn’t look down while jumping over the abyss, or become a monster when we are fighting with monsters. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. R.S.V. Ephesians 6:11

“Cedar Valley Manor offers the opportunity to downsize to a new, comfortable apartment-style living that retirees in Mission have been waiting for,” said Judith Ray, president of MASH. As a “life lease,” CVM offers residents an opportunity to protect the equity they’ve built

up in their homes, while living in a building that will be managed and secured. Residents will not have to worry about maintenance, yard work, or depreciation costs. Anyone interested in living at CVM can call Kate Mancer at 1-877432-9393.

An interesting historical footnote, at one time (in the late 19th century, Edison was a community of Utopian Socialists known as the Equality Colony). Not sure if I’ll ever get completely comfortable with the central instrument panel in a Prius. A switch button on the dash that changed kilometres to miles, however, was brilliantly simple and perfect for this trip. My biggest beef with the Prius v was cabin road noise at high speeds. Depending on the highway surface it can be so loud that it’s hard to converse with a front passenger. Bigger and better, the Prius v offers the functionality and versatility of a wagon, for a relatively small price premium. Toyota’s tried and trusted Hybrid Synergy Drive system offers outstanding fuel economy and surprisingly good power, when needed.

An electric luxury car designed to avert range anxiety

If you are in the market for a two door futuristic ready to drive concept car, this one is very well executed; it turns heads everywhere it goes.

’’

Zack Spencer

It is often lamented that many of the concept cars at the international auto shows never see the light of day as production vehicles. Well, the Cadillac ELR looks every bit like a futuristic concept and it is available today. This car is something to see, especially in person, with sweeping lines and aggressive front lights, like a spaceship. In fact it won the 2013 Eyes on Design Award

at the North American International Auto Show, an award judged by all of the heads of design from each automaker in attendance… that’s some judging panel. At first glance it has more than a passing resemblance to the Cadillac CTS Coupe but underneath is a very different platform. Looks This is essentially the Chevrolet Volt electric car, morphed into a Cadillac, with two fewer doors. Taking what Cadillac learned from the CTS coupe and transplanting that look onto an electric car has made the ELR a high-end electric alternative, to say a Tesla. The two-door design has hidden electronic door handles that release by touching a pad inside the recessed door handle. Not to worry, there is a redundant mechanical mechanism. The 20-inch wheels have specially designed tires for efficiency and handling. The trunk is a good size for a small sporty

coupe, but it is the front where all the jewelry is showcased. The headlamps are stunning to see during the day or at night. The vertical daytime running light are Cadillac’s signature now and they look fantastic. The LED headlamps along with rear LED lights make this a true luxury product. Inside The same futuristic and luxury approach continues on the inside. The materials used are spectacular, rich and welcoming. Cadillac combines alcantara (faux suede), chrome, wood, hand cut and sown leather seats and available carbon fibre. This combination of colours and textures, combined with the sweeping shape is first rate. This interior can stand on its own with any other luxury brand. Cadillac uses the same Cue infotainment and communications system throughout its line of products and it features a rich graphics package with cutting edge con-

car but a two-seater with storage for a gym bag. Why this has back seats is a mystery. Drive The Chevrolet Volt is the best selling electric car in Canada, not the Tesla or the Nissan LEAF. People have come to realize that the combination of electric range and a gasoline-extending generator is a good compromise; it isn’t all electric or nothing. The ELR, just like the Volt it is based on, is plugged in and charged, usually overnight. It takes more than 12-hours on a typical 120V plug to get the job done or about five hours on a more powerful 240V system. Once charged, the car runs on electricity for about 65 km before the gasoline extender kicks in to allow the driver to run up to 480km, or longer, if the car is refueled. The 16.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack and the electric motor puts out 295 lb.-ft of torque to the front wheels, similar power to the Cadillac 3.6-litre gasoline engine used in other products. One

way to extend the electric range is to use regenerative braking to help recharge the battery. The paddle shifters behind the steering wheel do that. The driver can use these in combination with the regular brake to modulate driving. It takes practice but is kind of fun. Verdict Here is the part that is hard to swallow, the price. The ELR starts at $78,250 – a lot of money for any car. This is a very limited market, a two-door sporty looking Cadillac that is also electric. If they made this into a sexy 4-door, the ELR would have more takers. As it stands, Telsa seems to have that market cornered for sexy and expensive

electric cars. What the Cadillac has over the Tesla is a world-class interior, something Tesla has fallen short on. On the flipside, Tesla has a huge available electric range without the aid of a gasoline engine. So the market for the ELR is limited. If you are in the market for a two door futuristic ready to drive concept car, this one is very well executed; it turns heads everywhere it goes. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 115kW EV, 295 lb-ft of torque Fill-up: 2.8 L equivalent/ 2.9 L equivalent/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $78,250

CarZorb

Heading out on the Altimate Rogue Trip by Keith Morgan

Driving all 3,945 kilometres of the famous Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica has always been on my bucket list. However, I’m hoping that after enduring a week on that often rocky and rough road that it will not be the last of my ever expanding must-do-before-I-die list! On Saturday, November

Nissan has created the world's biggest working Zorb, complete with a full-sized Note safely cushioned inside. The giant inflatable ball, which measures six metres in diameter and more than 18 metres in circumference, was constructed to highlight Nissan's Safety Shield technology featured on the Note, its popular small family car. Nicknamed the 'CarZorb', the colossal structure was successfully rolled down a course of steep hills in a two-minute film (YouTube – search Nissan Zorb). Originating in New Zealand, Zorbing sees thrill seekers roll downhill inside an orb, made of strong wearing inflatable plastic. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

I’m currently watching as many episodes of the 1960s’ era Route 66 TV series as I can and digesting every story about music inspired by the highway. Of course, I’m making a compilation tape, I mean picking a playlist for my generic MP3 player. I will be sharing my adventures with Driveway readers during and after the trip. Blogging begins on

nied my son Niall to his Beaver camp. An overnight stay at the El Travatore Motel, in Bullhead City, AZ, where we pick a theme room, quickly follows that chill night. Elvis Presley or Marilyn Monroe? Wonder if this drive was on their bucket list. The organizers suggested we swap partners part way across before fights break out. My drive buddy for four

1, I head to Chicago for a route briefing and meeting with Gary Fleshman, who has driven the route more than 100 times. I am one of 14 journalists from across Canada participating in the drive staged by Nissan Canada to launch the 2015 versions of the Altima sedan and Rogue sport ute. Interestingly, a few people plan to do only half of the journey . . . seems to me that’s like climbing half way up Everest! The daily trek will range between 450 and 600 kilometres, getting us to California by the evening of Saturday, November 9. We’ll pass through Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Along the way, we will visit many locations and attractions made famous through Hollywood and many a TV documentary, not to mention dozens of life-on-the-road books. Personally, I’m looking forward to spotting the roadside ghost towns that inspired the Cars movies. Who said they’re just for kids? And in New Mexico and Arizona my eyes will be scanning for locations featured in the Breaking Bad TV series. We’re camping under the stars in the Grand Canyon. Sheesh!

It’s a lucky thing that Cash for Clunkers was enacted after any of these movies were made. These films would each have been a bit less amusing without their “star” cars. 1. “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” 1979 Alfa Romeo Alfetta 2000 Sport Sedan: Ferris Bueller’s long-suffering best friend Cameron Frye “drove” this faded and rusty Alfa Romeo sedan, sort of anyway. He never really got it started. Best diagnosis from our Alfa Romeo fans is the failure of something called a thermostatic actuator. 2. “The Big Lebowski,” 1973 Ford Gran Torino: Jeff Bridges’ character Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski is a man that the narrator opined “might be the laziest man in Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the running for laziest man worldwide.” He’s also a man who wrote a check in the amount of 69 cents for a carton of half and half and he drives a 1973 Ford Torino. 3. “Body Heat,” 1964 Corvette: William Hurt plays an easily duped ambulance chaser of a Florida lawyer in this neo-noir classic. In addition to the fact that Kathleen Turner delivered a star-making performance in the film, we love it for the faded and disheveled but totally original Riverside Red ’64 Corvette convertible that Hurt’s character drives. 4. “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,” 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo: Jim Carey’s character “Ace Ventura” obviously cares more about the animals he is searching for than the car he is driving. Things go south almost immediately for Ace as his Monte Carlo is pummeled shortly after the opening credits by an angry man with a baseball bat. He is forced to spend the rest of the movie driving around with his head hanging out of the window. 5. Joe Dirt,” 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona: David Spade’s eponymous character drives a beat-to-hell ’69 Dodge Daytona, which probably gave at least a few MOPAR enthusiasts a stroke mid-movie. Like Mr. Dirt’s mullet, the Daytona is all business up front, party in the back, featuring an ultra-aerodynamic nose cone and a rear wing of comical proportions.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our Mom, also known as Nana, and Nana Glasses, at the age of 85 years. Aahmee lived a full life taking care of others as a homemaker/care aid in Mission and was a volunteer driver for the BC Cancer Agency. She was born in England, then moved to Holland where she started a family, and then moved with her family to Canada. Aahmee was a War Bride and a member of the Canadian Legion where she was known for her singing voice. She will be missed and remembered by her family members including her five children, nine grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren. At her request, no formal service will be held. We thank you, Aahmee, for all that you shared and taught us over the years. You lived your life with strength, independence, and grace; and in the end, you rode the wind home. Love from your family, always.

Robert (Bob) Arthur Rathwell passed away at the age of 69 at Abbotsford Regional Hospital on October 27, 2014. Bob was born on January 29, 1945 in Dauphin, Manitoba. He moved with his family after the Second World War to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan where he started elementary school and then moved to Swift Current, Saskatchewan where he finished his education. Bob always liked the ranching lifestyle and entered Washington State University graduating with a degree in animal sciences. He started a long career in the cattle industry in 1970 in Abbotsford, BC working for Coppertone Farms. Bob thoroughly enjoyed helping Spud and Jean Huestis operate a Champion purebred Polled Hereford operation. In 1974 Bob moved to Alberta to start his own purebred operation but returned in 1979 to carry on with cattle and subsequent hog operations. Bob looked forward to sharing his knowledge and skill with many farms in the area and especially enjoyed assisting 4-H Clubs. He was well liked in the area with many contacts in the Canadian Hereford and Canadian Cattlemen’s Associations. The love and support from Patrick and Karen Huestis did much to enable Bob to enjoy a full life. Bob was predeceased by his father Lloyd Rathwell October 13, 1973 and mother Aileen Rathwell on February 13, 2008. He will be remembered by his brother Jim Rathwell (Patti) and nephew Patrick Rathwell all of Calgary and Cameron Rathwell (Julie) of Vancouver. Bob will also be remembered by his sister Patti Blower and niece Jennifer (Jason) Booth of Victoria and niece Kristin (Ryan) Payne of Chicago, Illinois. There will be a celebration of life on Sunday November 2, 2014 at Peardonville Hall, 29450 Huntington Road, Abbotsford, from 1:30 to 4:00 pm. Please bring your stories of the big man with the big heart. No flowers, no cards just bring stories. Donations in Bob’s memory can be made to the Canadian Kidney Foundation.

JAGPAL Swarn Kaur July 31, 1914 ~ Oct. 24, 2014

Swarn was born near Lahore, in the part of the Punjab that is now in Pakistan. After marrying, she accompanied her husband to many parts of the world on his professional wrestling tours. She lived in various Indian cities and also travelled to Burma, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka and east Africa. Her first child, Kharak, was born in 1938 and her second child, Rajinder, in 1947. The family immigrated to Britain in 1952 and lived mostly in northern England around Newcastle. Moving on to British Columbia in 1958, the family resided in Masachi Lake, Lake Cowichan, Port Alberni and eventually settled in Abbotsford.

RUSK Eileen Alice 1922 ~ 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our wonderful Mother. Eileen Alice Rusk passed away on October 22, 2014 at Bevan Lodge in Abbotsford, BC at the age of 92. She was predeceased by her husband, Lyle Rusk in 1983 and is survived by her four children, Lynda (Joe), Don (Lori), Jeri (John) and Alison (Peter). She leaves a legacy of 8 grandchildren: Vanna, David, Angela, Tracy, Erin, Kristen, Courtney & Mackenzie as well as 16 great-grandchildren. Eileen was born in Saskatoon, SK on August 25, 1922. She and Lyle lived in Toronto, Saskatoon and Victoria. They owned and operated a family business, Rusk’s Grocery Store, in Victoria for many years. Eileen later worked at Victoria Cablevision until her retirement when she moved to Abbotsford to be near her two daughters and their families. Family meant everything to her and she thrived on their love and times spent together. Our Mom was the most special lady with a warm, giving heart and a sense of humour that lifted and sustained those around her. Her greatest sense of pride were her children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. Her walls were papered with an abundance of family pictures. She provided a wonderful example of how to live a life filled with love, humour, encouragement, kindness, forgiveness and dignity. The family would like to thank the kind and compassionate care-givers at BEVAN LODGE for their wonderful care of our Mother during the past 9 years. You made her life more comfortable in so many ways. There will be no formal funeral service. A small family memorial to celebrate her life will take place at a later date.

Betty It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our Mom, Betty Joyce Schafer who peacefully went to sleep on Thursday, October 23, 2014 after suffering a stroke on Sunday, October 19, 2014 at Glenwood Manor in Agassiz, BC. Mom was born in Sarnia, Ontario on November 22, 1926. Mom was predeceased by her youngest son, Bobby in 1980 and her loving and devoted husband John Schafer, who passed away six months ago. They were not meant to be apart. Mom will be lovingly missed by sons, Michael (Linda), David (Jane) and daughters Cathy (Les), Liz (Andy) as well as grandchildren Kris, Kyle, Jamie and Callie and greatgrandchildren Nathan, Brooklyn and Mila. Mom was the epitome of selflessness and forever fretted about the wellbeing of family and friends. She loved working in the schools as a secretary and maintained lifelong friends from those days. She prided herself on keeping her home in pristine condition and always made sure she was ‘put together’ before any outings. Mom was a classy lady who was happiest when surrounded by family. We can’t begin to describe the void left by such a warm, loving soul. Her beautiful smile and twinkling eyes, never to be forgotten. Mom will be forever missed and always in our hearts. No service by request. In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a donation to the Alzheimer’s Society or Heart & Stroke Foundation. Condolences and memories may be shared with the family at: www.woodlawnfh-mission.com Arrangements entrusted to Woodlawn Mission Funeral Home (604) 826-9548
