One of Mission’s MLAs maintains the Har-monized Sales Tax is the right idea.
Abbotsford-Mission MLA Randy Hawes said, “Every expert says [the HST] is good for the economy. If we go away from it, it will hurt every person. We cannot go backwards.”
The provincial government representative noted no other jurisdiction on the globe has
returned to a different system after the HST was implemented.
“The further one per cent cut in 2014 puts nearly everyone on the plus side” financially, he continued.
The B.C. government promised last Wednes-day to cut the harmonized sales tax rate by two percentage points over the next three years, and issue $175 rebate cheques for each child and lower-income senior this year.
The program is aimed at persuading voters to keep the HST in a mail-in referendum that
begins this month. If the HST survives, the first one per cent rate cut would take effect July 1, 2012.
Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said the changes mean the average B.C. family will see an overall tax reduction of $120 a year when the HST rate reaches 10 per cent.
The HST currently costs the statistically av-erage household an additional $350 a year, although there are wide variations among ac-tual households. Falcon acknowledged that some families would continue to pay more until 2014.
HST is good for province, says Hawes
Gravel barge strikes train bridgeBY JASON ROESSLEMission Record
Rail service resumed just before 6 p.m. Tuesday after a fully loaded gravel barge slammed into one of the pilings of the train bridge
which spans the Fraser River be-tween Mission and Abbotsford.
The incident happened Tuesday at approximately 12:30 p.m., said Canadian Pacific Railway spokes-person Mike LoVecchio. The swing bridge was open when the barge
made contact with the piling.Gravel had to be moved off
the barge before it could be dis-lodged from the piling. Once it was moved, CPR conducted a damage assessment, which included put-ting a diver in the water to inspect
the piling. No damage was found, said LoVecchio.
All trains were rerouted to cross at New Westminster while the span was out of service.
“That’s a key bit of infrastruc-ture,” he said.
The Mission train bridge suffered no structural damage after it was hit by a loaded gravel barge, and rail traffic returned to normal just before 6 p.m. Tuesday. JASON ROESSLE PHOTO

STORIES BY CAROL AUNMission Record
The public isn’t hearing the positive things accomplished here, says council, prompting politicians to request staff to develop a com-munication strategy.
Announcements such as the Mis-sion health care centre project, and Fraser River Heritage Park trails are two examples, said Mayor James Atebe, who delivered a ver-bal report to council last week.
The trails, he said, were built under budget, and the leftover funds will be used for bike paths.
The community was extensively consulted on these two projects, but it hasn’t been communicated well and a lot of people don’t
know about them. A lot of the information on social media net-works is misconstrued, he added.
Coun. Paul Horn said a recent attempt by the district to engage the public in talks about the com-munity amenity contributions at an open house attracted enough bod-ies to fill about 20 per cent of the chairs at the Leisure Centre.
Horn believes most people are trying to understand what’s going on, but don’t have the necessary information, and come out when they are upset.
“We don’t want to provide a spin, but we want to know where people want to get their informa-tion and how,” said Horn.
In the absence of information, people can say anything, and it’s
usually the first voice out there that sticks, offered Coun. Mike Scudder.
Coun. Jenny Stevens also ac-knowledged the district has been slow at putting news out on time, and reminded her colleagues it’s up to them to be accessible and be out in the community to hear what’s being said and answer questions.
She was also concerned this move might have a negative effect because it’s an election year.
It’s a strategy to move forward and something council has to ad-dress, said Horn.
“The way people communicate has changed.”
Council will discuss the issue in further detail when staff return with a report.
There were no objec-tions and few questions posed during a public hearing about a proposal to build three apartment buildings with commer-cial/retail space in down-town Mission.
The three-phase de-velopment is located at
the corner of First Av-enue and Wardrop Street. There are a total of 163 residential units and about 842 sq. metres of commercial space.
The developer, Per-spective Investments Ltd., also plans to include live-work units, where a
store’s owner can reside above the business.
Currently the area is undeveloped and mostly treed with thin, sporadic specimens, said Barclay Pitkethly, Mission’s deputy director of plan-ning.
He explained the 14-
lot site would be consoli-dated into one and the project would involve the closure of a portion of Maple Street and a lane.
A third reading report will be brought back to council before adoption can be considered.

The Cycling for Diversity team recently completed its 200-km journey from Mission to Victoria, organized by Mission’s Ken Herar, to showcase the need for harmonious cultural diversity in the area. The May 18 kick-off event at Griner Park, saw the five riders meet with Mayor James Atebe where a tree was planted and he read out a proclamation declaring it World Day for Cultural Diversity. In all, the group made 24 stops over four days. Sponsorship from Wentings Cycle, Envision Financial and the Mission AM Rotary Club made the event possible.

Mission firefighters were called to a residential garage fire Friday night on Lougheed Highway, just east of Lawrence Lane.
A recreational vehicle inside the detached building was also destroyed, and according to Mission Fire/Rescue Service Asst. Chief Larry Watkinson,
one man suffered third-degree burns to his arms and face. He was taken to Vancouver Gen-eral Hospital via air ambulance, which landed at Hatzic Second-ary School.
The fire origin was the RV, said Watkinson, and the burn victim said he had lit a cigarette while out in the garage, which touched off the explosion, likely caused from a gas leak.
Numerous other loud bangs, which Watkinson said were aero-sol cans detonating, were heard while firefighters battled the blaze.
The assistant chief said it was a difficult incident due to the amount of material inside the garage, and reminded home owners to clean out and take hazardous materials to an appropriate recycling station twice a year.
A man who has made Mission home for the past 12 years has been chosen as the community’s new RCMP chief of police.
Insp. Richard Konarski has been a Mountie for 33 years, and comes to Mission from Langley, where he served as operations support officer respon-sible for numerous duties including strategic planning and serious crime.
“The people of Mission have a cham-pion for their community’s most vul-nerable groups in their new police commander,” says Asst. Comm. Norm Lipinski, head of the RCMP’s Lower Mainland District Regional Police Ser-vice. “Insp. Konarski’s victim-centred domestic violence investigation pro-tocols and training have been incor-porated B.C.-wide. And he’s a proven advocate for a wide variety of youth-at-risk initiatives and programs.”
Konarski’s start date is not fixed, but
he will likely begin in July or earlier, said Paul Gipps, Mission’s deputy chief administrative officer.
Pot plants seizedMission RCMP seized 2,800 mari-
juana plants Friday night from two residences in the 41300 block of North Nicomen Road.
Mounties executed the first search warrant May 27 and located 1,800 plants, a 9 mm Ruger handgun and a crossbow inside the first home. Nobody was on the property at that time.
While conducting neighbourhood in-quiries, police found a second mari-juana grow operation on the same block. After obtaining a search warrant for that residence, police took away 1,000 plants and a loaded .45-calibre handgun.
A 42-year-old Abbotsford resident was arrested at the home in connection with the grow op.

With the carrot being stability in schools come September, the BC Teachers’ Federation is holding out the stick of teachers’ job ac-tion in a bid to speed up provincial contract negotiations.
Unless progress is made in con-tract negotiations in the next two weeks, the teachers’ union will hold a strike vote between June 24 and 28.
Critical of the BC Public Schools Employers Association (BCPSEA) for “stalling,” the BCTF is seeking improvements in wages, benefits and working conditions as well as the negotiation of more issues at the local bargaining table.
Jim Iker, a spokesperson for the provincial bargaining team, said it’s not unreasonable to expect a signed contract by the end of June and the threat of job action is necessary to get more substantive proposals on the bargaining table.
“We think the [provincial and local bargaining] tables need in-
creased pressure,” Iker said. “We would like to find a solution by the 30th of June.”
But the BCPSEA disagrees that job action is necessary to spur talks because concrete proposals were to be put on the table Tuesday, and another 15 meetings are planned.
“It’s disappointing to have talk of strike and job action when bar-gaining, per se, hasn’t really taken hold, and you have to question is this more of a positioning exercise and a political exercise than a bargaining one,” said Hugh Fin-layson, CEO of the employers’ association.
Finlayson said it’s possible a contract resolution could be reached by the end of June but only if both sides “put their atten-tion to bargaining.”
The teachers are seeking im-provements to wages and benefits, as well as class size and composi-tion, a reduction in case loads, more class preparation time and improved learning specialist ra-tios. Another issue important to teachers is local bargaining, which
Iker said would be the best solu-tion to local issues.
But much of what the teachers are asking for is out of the hands of the BCPSEA. The province has up to a year to address deficien-cies in class size and composition legislation, which the BC Supreme Court ruled was unconstitutional, and another year remains on the government’s “net zero mandate” wage freeze.
Finlayson said other unions man-aged to achieve collective agree-ments under the mandate while the class size and composition process has a separate timeline and a sepa-rate process.
As for expanding local bargain-ing, Finlayson said it would be in-efficient and the two sides should agree to disagree and move on.
Meanwhile, the provincial teach-ers’ union fears a worsening of class size and composition if the issue isn’t addressed at the bar-gaining table, and Iker said teach-ers are falling behind other juris-dictions when it comes to salaries and benefits.

6 The Mission Record Thursday, June 2, 2011
Even if all you care about is your own wal-let, the harmonized
sales tax just became an offer you shouldn’t refuse.
Premier Christy Clark promised a “bold” fix for the HST, and she delivered. For months I have been ar-guing that the only way to overcome the wave of rejec-tion caused by the panicked introduction of the HST is to offer a rate cut. I expected one per cent.
Now if you vote to keep it, a second one-per-cent reduction will be largely financed by reversing some of the BC Liberals’ business tax cuts of recent years. It not only sweetens the deal for consumers, it’s great politics.
First, let’s look at it from a selfish, short-term perspec-tive, the way some readers loudly remind me they view the world. If you vote next month to go back to the pro-vincial sales tax, the 12-per-cent PST-GST on goods that you probably didn’t notice before will continue. If you have kids under 18 or are a senior living on less than $40,000 a year, you will be
saying no to a $175-per-person bonus cheque.
If you only care about yourself, you won’t care about the loss of HST cred-its to the poorest people in B.C. You won’t care about the province re-paying Ottawa’s transition fund, or rebuilding a B.C. sales tax de-partment to force business to convert their billing sys-tems again. You won’t care about the competitive advantage given to Ontario, unless it costs you your job.
When the B.C. government of the day has to cut services to pay for this disastrous reversal, you’ll de-nounce them for doing what you told them to do. You will get the government you deserve, which may include a PST extended to restaurant meals or haircuts, because the money has to come from somewhere.
When Clark’s HST “fix” was unveiled, it was the NDP’s turn to panic. They
have painted themselves into a corner, and now face the prospect of arguing for a return to an archaic sales tax with a higher rate.
And once again, Bill Vander Zalm and Chris
Delaney tour B.C. in their Fight HST conspiracy clown
car, refueled by $250,000 of public funds to campaign in the referendum.
Their campaign of fear and ignorance is encountering heavy resistance at university and college campuses, however, as tax experts fact-check their claims on the spot. (They’ve
added “rallies” in an effort to keep fear alive.)
Delaney still raves about Europe being the cause of all this alleged human misery with their insidious Value vAdded Tax. Vander Zalm continues to mutter about a plot to establish world government through carbon taxes and the HST.
It would be nice if the NDP-Fight HST crowd were
concerned about the wave of retiring baby boomers that is starting to wash across the country. But they’re not.
There are changes happen-ing now in the B.C. economy that 1960s socialism and 1980s populism are not equipped to handle. The liv-ing standard of our children is going to be determined by how we deal with our aging, globalizing population, and this is one reason to under-stand a shift to consumption taxes.
Fourteen months ago I wrote that more U.S. states are joining Washington, Ha-waii and others with sales taxes on services as well as goods. Robert Kleine, treasurer for Michigan, ex-plained it this way:
“The basic thing is that we need to update our tax struc-ture. We’ve got a 20th-cen-tury tax structure based on a different sort of economy. The tax base doesn’t grow as the economy grows.”

Tax may be savedIf the BC Liberal government’s plan to overhaul
the HST is not met with complete skepticism by a wary public, the HST may well survive the coming mail referendum to become the province’s sales tax.
The plan to reduce the HST to 10 per cent by July 1, 2014, offer one-time compensation to families with children under 18 and seniors with incomes under $40,000, and boost business tax rates, is ambi-tious and even audacious.
Most importantly, it is a much more fair approach than anything else the government has rolled out in two years of virtual non-stop HST public relations disasters.
Premier Christy Clark deserves some of the credit, as does Finance Minister Kevin Falcon. Falcon broached the idea of reducing the HST rate in his leadership campaign. Other members of the BC Lib-eral caucus have been talking about it for more than a year.
An independent panel concluded that the HST was a fundamental tax shift away from business and onto consumers, at a cost of $350 for the “average” fam-ily.
The tax is also bringing in far more revenue than Campbell ever acknowledged.
Anyone could determine that it was far from “revenue neutral,” as an additional 20 per cent of items, formerly exempt from PST, are now subject to HST.
To its credit, the business community, which is being asked to pay more in income taxes to help pay for this HST rebalancing, is reacting positively. It recognizes the long-term value of the tax and its fundamental efficiency, but also unselfishly realizes that the tax must be more fair towards consumers.

Editor, The Record:I recently visited Lougheed Mall.
I have shopped there in the past and found it clean, bright and cheery.
I was amazed that on this gloomy, rainy day, this mall was packed with shoppers.
As I drove home, I pondered. Ab-botsford has a mall. Langley has a mall. Coquitlam and Burnaby have malls. What is wrong with Mission?
Look around us in this community. Where do we shop? Not in Mission. There are a few stores here, but for diversity you have to drive to another city.
Why do we not have sufficient shopping in Mission? Small little strip malls just don’t cut it. First Avenue is a drag strip, speeding cars jockeying for position between lumber trucks and delivery vans. Parking is almost non-existent. And pedestrians take their lives in their own hands trying
to cross the streets.This is a beautiful community that is
growing leaps and bounds. New fami-lies, new subdivisions and no shop-ping. I know some are worried about the urban sprawl, but get real. This is nothing but a glorified bedroom com-munity.
It would be wonderful to be able to drive downtown to a shopping area instead of driving over the bridge to Abbotsford or down the highway to Maple Ridge.
I think it is time for Mission council to get moving forward with the build-ing of the waterfront area. This is noth-ing but wasted space.
A great shopping pier and floating restaurant will have people traveling here to enjoy the view and stay to shop and put money in Mission instead of elsewhere.

In response to the recent letter, may I suggest that seniors interests are best advanced by diplomatic negotiation, recognition of our needs, and of the parameters within which our municipal council is obliged to work, if budgetary restraint is to be observed.
Winging personal attacks, whether on elected officials or individuals, are not endearing, and if inaccurate, futile.
Mission Seniors Centre Association (MCSA) was established in 2006 to advocate for the provision of an ap-propriate facility to serve Mission and district seniors.
We have visited many other centres, explored needs and financial scenarios. We are discussing ways and means
with council. We also concluded in 2008 that a temporary centre was vital to our needs and council agreed.
Thanks to two years of dedication by our wonderful crew of volunteers, no-tably Jaquie Phare, Marion MacLellan, Jeanne Price and Rosina Swyck, we are well-established at the Activity Centre on Taulbut and 10 Avenue. We have priority of use. Our sign adorns the building and June 9 is the anniversary of our opening celebration.
We invite all Mission seniors to come out to our first birthday event at 11 a.m. June 9, when there will be dignitaries, surprise entertainers and an activity demonstration, as well as refreshments. A Seniors’ Week tea will follow.
This is what I call real pro-activity! Don’t miss it.
Frank SleighPresident, MCSA
Editor, The Record:It is suggested that local persons who are in fa-
vour of developing the Mission waterfront watch the devastation shown on the news of communities and homes being destroyed by rising waters.
It is painful to watch the citizens working furiously around the clock to try and pile sand-bags along water courses, and our heart and sympathy go out to them, but other feelings are directed at local governments which allowed de-velopment in those areas without any thought to the extremes that can happen at flood plain.
Therefore, Mission residents have to resoundly say no to development along the Fraser River, and such grounds near, or at flood plain, should be left for important ecosystems that need the marshes, bogs and trees along rivers’ edges to survive and to provide important side-effects for humans.
The often-repeated justification to improve the economy or to provide jobs, etc. is an unrealistic
way out for officials who cater to large develop-ment corporations. In the final analysis, after the new homes, condos, etc. have been built at flood plain and close to river and lake edges, the cor-porations have made their money and leave the area, with no really effective dikes as exist in some countries. When disaster inevitably arrives, it is the home owner and smaller local businesses that carry the consequences of being destroyed by raging waters.
For local officials to try and justify development at flood plain in any way, is now more danger-ous and unacceptable than ever, since they have also allowed enormous areas at higher elevations to be clear-cut of trees and other vegetation, which formerly held back some of the rain water at their roots and released it slowly to surrounding rivers and lakes.

John and Josh Dal-rymple of Sunnyside, Wash., shared the win-ner’s circle as father and son for the Lordco Auto Parts NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing event at Mission Raceway Park last weekend.
Josh was up first for the final in Super Street where he drove his ’67 Camaro to the win over Jess Dale, Bonney Lake, Wash., and his ’70 Dart. Then it was up to Dad and his ’04 Super Gas Corvette. John clocked in at 10.108 seconds at 131.86 mph for the win over Greg Hehr, Ravens-
dale, Wash., and the op-portunity to share the winner’s circle with his son.
In the alcohol classes it was Ray Martin and Steve Gasparrelli taking the wins in dragster and funny car, respectively. Martin made the trip down from Anchorage, Ala., and qualified first in his first-ever race. He then went on to beat Joey Severance to start his racing career with a win and take home his first NHRA “Wally” trophy. Martin beat Ashley Bart, Calgary, Alta., in round one and had a bye run in the semifinals.
Gasparrelli, West Covina, Calif., came from the number two qualifying spot to face Dave Germain and Brian Hough in rounds one and two to advance to the final against Clint Thompson who quali-fied first. Gasparrelli left first and never looked back clocking in at 5.712
seconds at 255.89 mph. Thompson spun the tires at the hit of the throttle and slowed to a 7.019 second lap.
Rick McKinney won in Super Stock over Charlene Gullett, with Surrey racer Al Omond taking the win and the
trophy in the Sportsman Motorcycle Series.
In Comp Eliminator Jeff Lane put his ’10 Cobalt in the winner’s circle beating Calgary’s Jirka Kaplan and his ’27 Ford, while Dallas Glenn won in his ’96 Corvette against Dave Rastad.
Rounding out the win-ner’s list this past week-end were Emmett McK-illop in Super Comp; Robert Matthews in Top Sportsman over Craig Cawte; Paul Nero, beat-ing Stefan Kondolay; and Al Chinn in Super Pro with his ’64 Nova.

Bill Humphreys RetiringAfter almost forty years of
teaching, Bill is retiring, again! Bill Humphreys was born in Vancouver and spent most of his growing years in Maple Ridge. He has had six major loves in his life. First of all, God and his Son, Jesus Christ; second, being a Canadian; third, fi shing up and down the Fraser Valley; fourth, maps which led to his fi rst job out of high school – a cartographer for the next six years. He decided to take further education and attended seminary for two years where he met his fi fth love, his wife of forty-six years, Fran, and his family which now includes three daughters, two sons-in-law, and fi ve grandchildren. He attended UBC where he completed his Bachelor of Education degree and started the sixth love, teaching. He also spent three years at the WAC Bennett Dam producing progress reports, sent world-wide. Until his fi rst retirement, Bill taught Grade 7 in several schools in the Coquitlam School District and thoroughly enjoyed challenging and mentoring his students, especially in the areas of good literature, Science and Social Studies. He built lasting relationships with the students, thinking of them as family. Bill served on the District Science Committee and developed several science units. He also completed his Masters of Administrative Leadership at SFU while still continuing to teach. After a two year break from teaching Bill returned, this time to Valley Christian School in Mission, BC where he taught upper level courses. At short notice he accepted the principal position, leading the school through relocation, growth, and school building phases. VCS is now a thriving school bursting at the seams. Bill has had a most rewarding career, building up a substantial repertoire of stories about students, staff and parents, which he will share with anyone willing to listen.
A celebration in his honour will take place during the Valley Christian School Awards Night on Tuesday, June 21st at 7 pm
at Cedar Valley Mennonite Church, 32840 Janzen
Avenue, Mission.
Everyone is welcome.
Fraser carefully being watchedBY JASON ROESSLEMission Record
Emergency prepared-ness officials are keeping a close eye on the rising Fraser River.
A teleconference call today (June 2) with the River Forecast Cen-tre (RFC) will have the most up-to-date results of snow pack measure-ments, said Mission Fire Chief Ian Fitzpatrick on Wednesday.
As of yesterday morn-ing, the Fraser was mea-sured at 5.3 metres at the Mission bridge gauge, but Fitzpatrick, who also serves as the local emer-gency preparedness co-ordinator, noted the river level is still fluctuating due to tides.
But concern is ris-ing, he admits. The RFC hasn’t seen any melting of the snowpack in Prince George — which directly affects water levels locally
— and more rain and snow has accumulated during the past few weeks.
The potential flooding situation is “very weather dependent,” he noted.
Flood plans from 2007, the last time the river swelled to a dangerous stage, have been pulled out and are being up-dated.
The Mission dike is in good shape given the fed-eral funding used in the past three years to raise and improve the struc-ture, reports Fitzpatrick, but there are a few spots on private property that haven’t been upgraded.
The Silverdale dike has been built up, but it is an agricultural dike and isn’t to the same standard as Mission. If the water rises enough, letters will be sent to business own-ers in the affected areas warning them to have a backup plan in case flooding occurs, he said.
Just over 1,400 people were without power Thursday afternoon, while another 4,500 had no electricity Wednesday night for two hours.
BC Hydro reported an outage May 26 from 11:52 a.m. until 12:52 p.m. affecting 1,437 customers in an area within Seventh Avenue and Commercial Avenue, and east
of Maple Street to west of Lougheed High-way. On Wednesday evening, 4,555 cus-tomers’ lights went out between 8:28 p.m. and 10:36 p.m. when a breaker tripped.
Power outages leave Missionites in the dark
SUNGLASSES
FREE VISION
TESTING
As we all know, sunglasses protect peoples’ eyes from ultraviolet rays.Different coloured sunglass lenses accomplish different purposes. Polarized lenses are wonderful on a bright sunny day, but on a dull, overcast day, yellow lenses are the best choice. Skiers, cyclists, and golfers have been known to benefi t from yellow lenses because they enhance contrast and brightness in low light. If you fi nd driving at night in the rain diffi cult, yellow lenses with an anti-glare coating on the back surface will be a great choice, as the coloured lens will enhance the contrast, and reduce the glare of car lights.

Never too young to plan life as a seniorBY JASON ROESSLEMission Record
One of the biggest Canucks’ parties in Mission this
playoff season has been at a rather unique place.
Cedarbrooke Chateau isn’t the first spot you would think would be populated by excitable pro-hockey fans, but their enthusiasm is undeniable.
A group of at least 20 men and women living at the Seventh Avenue seniors residence gather in the theatre room every time the Vancouver squad plays to cheer on the home team.
All the fans are regu-larly clad in their distinc-tive blue Canucks T-shirts and jerseys, with a few bringing out the flags and towels on game days.
Chief architect behind the fun is Vern Drader, an 81-year-old former llama farmer from Saskatch-ewan, who along with his wife of 62 years, Lyla, have made Cedarbrooke home for the past two years.
“They call me their captain,” he said with a laugh.
“I love people and I like to see them happy and having fun,” Drader said when asked why he organized the group.
The Draders are part of the newer cadre of se-niors who aren’t content to sit by and let life go on without them. And as more baby boomers enter retirement, the number of highly active seniors is expected to rise.
Before moving into the retirement residence, the Draders had a motorhome and travelled extensively, while Vern still kept ac-tive in the llama industry. He still does some judg-ing and consultation work occasionally, but these days his schedule is full of walking, and going to the pool and gym three times a week.
And he encourages other people getting on in years to follow his example.
“Just stay active and have fun. Don’t be a couch potato,” said Drader.
But preparation is key, he stressed.
“It’s never too early to plan for being a senior. You have to socialize and
plan for the future.”The couple was at
Hallmark on the Lake in Abbotsford for nearly four years before mov-ing to Mission, but Vern said they would have moved into a facility like Cedarbrooke earlier had they known how fun the lifestyle would be.
“You should [move] while you can still enjoy life and before the deci-sion is put on you,” he said. The Draders aren’t confined to the residence and still travel regularly. They plan to head to their hometown of Estevan, Sask. next month for a visit.
“If I felt any better, I’d be dangerous.”
Vern Drader, (centre in white jersey) leads a very active group of Cedarbrooke residents in cheering on the Canucks.

Bernie and Red, one of Western Canada’s most
popular live entertain-ment packages will be appearing in Mission next week as they kick off Seniors’ Week 2011.
With their special mixture of comedy and music, this couple has built a huge and faith-ful following both here in Canada and also in the U.K. and in the U.S., where they tour each year.
These annual tours have become much an-ticipated, and a lot of work goes into present-ing a totally new show
each year, both music and comedy.
“That can be quite a challenge,” says Ber-nie. “But if people are prepared to buy tickets for our show each year, then the very least that we can do is give them something new. And we also enjoy the challenge of coming up with fresh material.”
Originally from Liv-erpool, England, Bernie and Red moved to B.C. in the 1970s, and began performing in this province and Alberta, and then progressing to cruise ships where they performed for a score
of years.As well as being busi-
ness partners, Bernie and Red are partners in marriage too, hav-ing recently celebrated their 45th anniversary, and their married status gives them no end of material for their com-edy routines.
“A lot of people com-ment on the fact that we seem to be having such a good time when we’re on stage, well, who wouldn’t? Performers have the best job in the world, getting paid to do the very thing that they enjoy so much,” said Bernie. “One of the
greatest quotations that I have come across is to ‘choose a job that you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.’ Or to put it another way, it’s only a job if there’s some-where else that you’d rather be. For Red and myself, there’s nowhere we’d rather be than on stage.”
You can enjoy the show Sunday, June 5 at the Clarke Theatre. Showtime is 2 p.m. and admission is free.
For more information, and to hear recordings, visit www.bernieandred.com.
Bernie and Red bring comedy to Seniors’ Week kick off event
Many seniors entering world of datingA growing number
of people entering the world of dating are over the age of 50. While some things have changed since they did this the first time around, the rules of
dating have largely re-mained the same.
For those about to re-enter the dating game in their senior years, these tips and tidbits may help make the process a bit easier.
• Use dating sites. For those shy about simply mingling in the singles’ social scene, online sites offer a measure of ano-nymity and can take away some of the pressure. Plus they enable daters to pool from a wide array of po-tential mates.
• The numbers are fa-vourable for men. Senior men entering the dating world have an easier time of finding a poten-tial date simply because there are more women than men in the senior age bracket.
• Use tried and true tactics. Individuals
can ask to be set up by friends with single ac-quaintances.
Simply being friendly and getting the word out that there is an interest in dating may help.
• Realize it may take time. Finding the right match may take several dates and patience. Just because a person is now older doesn’t mean he or she has to be desperate and accept the first per-son who comes along. If there’s no chemistry, say so and move on. Once that special person is found, it will be worth the effort.

BY CAROL AUNMission Record
Last weekend I dragged my husband from the house with the intention of watching the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Even though I’m not a huge Pe-nelope Cruz fan, and most reviews I’ve read say the movie should be tossed off the plank, I felt this was a must-see simply because I’ve seen all the previous ones.
Imagine my disappointment when the bright red letters read “sold out” beside the movie title. My back-up choice, The Hangover Part 2, was also sold out as was Bridesmaids, not that I had any intention of seeing that one!
Thor was one of the few choices left and I approached it with a bit of hesitation because my brother-in-
law had given it an awful review.In the end, I was pleasantly sur-
prised and realized how different two opinions can be.
I’ve read many comic books in my youth, and prefer Marvel char-acters over DC ones, but I’ve never read Thor before and didn’t go into the show with any expectations.
Thor (played by Chris Hemsworth) and his younger brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) have been brought up knowing one of them will take over as king of Asgard from their father Odin (Anthony Hopkins).
Thor is eager to wage a war on the Frost Giants after a break-in at Asgard, and despite his father’s warnings, takes a small team with him to do just that. The god of thun-der is headstrong, determined and has a lot to learn as a leader.
As his punishment, Odin ban-
ishes Thor to Earth where he must live among mortals without his powers or his hammer.
He lands in New Mexico where he stumbles upon a group of scien-tists, led by Jane (Natalie Portman), studying the universe. As Thor is learning lessons on Earth to be less reckless and more compassion-ate, Loki is plotting to be king and doesn’t want Thor returning home.
The story was well told and the transition between the realms was well executed. There was plenty of fighting, humour and action to make it an entertaining movie from beginning to end. It also nicely sets up The Avengers, scheduled to be released next year. I look forward to that one.
Thor plays this week at Silver-City Mission at 7:15 p.m. and 10:10 p.m.

Rev. Bob GarvinInterim Minister
You are welcome
While it is certainly a good thing to be
knowledgeable about current events,
it’s sometimes helpful to focus on the
“good” news we hear, rather than the
latest “bad” news like stories which focus
on violence, criminality, war and
brutality. This is likely to bias our
perspective on the world and make us feel
as if we live in a more hostile and
dangerous environment than we really
do, and that alone is a good reason to
occasionally take a break from this type
of news. There are plenty of interesting
pieces in your paper that focus on positive
developments, community activities and
even “the funnies”. All news is important,
but it’s also important to keep much of the
bad news we hear in perspective. If it
takes our minds off of more important
things, the eternal things, then all this
news is nothing but a stress-provoking
distraction. So perhaps, we should
consider periodically fasting from bad
news; maybe once every week or so.
We might even be surprised to find that
this actually improves our quality of life.
So we know and believe the love God has for
us. God is love, and he who abides in love
abides in God, and
God abides in him.

Summer concerts at the park
noted for their adventur-ous and eccentric pro-gramming – music from across centuries, genres, and cultures. Serenata will present a selection from its recent spring concert Invoca-tion – a musical celebra-tion of spring and sum-mer with songs from the 13th century to the 21st, and from as far away as Japan to right here in Canada.
The Art in the Park program features glass-blown beadwork and jewelry of Ania Kyte; Donna Duvall, acrylic painter; beaded jewelry from Betty Sandmark, and Senada Vehabovic’s metal art silhouettes.
The Envision Twi-light Concert Series brings Hatzic Second-ary School’s (HSS) Jazz Band and Affirmation Vocal Jazz Choir to the park on Wednesday, June 8 from 7 to 8 p.m.
The HSS Jazz Band, under the direction of Julie Aldridge, is com-prised of the most talent-ed HSS music students, age 13-17, who rehearse diligently both at school and on their own time.
Past performances have taken them to Whis-tler and Banff as well as to New Orleans to com-pete against high-calibre U.S. schools. Wherever they go, they impress and have been praised for their professionalism.
The HSS Affirmation Vocal Jazz Choir is se-lected by audition and di-rected by Joseph Heslip, who works tirelessly to make this group the best it can be. Beautiful har-monies, fabulous solos and a rock-solid backing band make for a fantastic and enjoyable musical combination.
The Art in the Park features Heleen de Boer of Mission Spinners and Weavers Tartan Shoppe; Gina Esche’s natural way to body wellness; and Betty Sandmark’s beaded jewelry.
Bring a lawn chair or blanket and come to the park. The Log Cabin Café and the Blackberry Kitchen are open before and during the concert. Admission is free but do-nations are appreciated. Your support along with the contributions of spon-sors will ensure this se-ries continues. For more information call Fraser River Heritage Park at 604-826-0277.

PAGE
The District of Mission encourages everyone to think about how a large-scale natural or man-made disaster could affect our normal way of life, and to plan not just how we will survive the event, but also how we will cope with the aftermath.
Events such as the recent earthquake in Japan show us just how vulnerable we are, and how long it may take to regain our normal lifestyle after such a major event.
In Mission, we live in an area that is overdue for a large earthquake and
we are also located very near a volcano (Mt. Baker). We have commercial rail and truck traffic transporting dangerous goods through our community, as well as a major river flowing through our south boundary. Forest fires can be a real threat to our community with a large area of Mission being surrounded by forest.
It is critical for us to understand that in a disaster we must not rely on our local or provincial governments to solve all the problems that will occur. They will
be far too busy trying to cope with the disaster, maintaining or restoring essential services and responding to critical emergencies.
Volunteers are essential to assist our community
Mission has always been a community with tremendous volunteer spirit which will prove invaluable if we ever have a major emergency. But, how much more effective would this help be, if we were just a little trained and organized in what to do? Mission’s Emergency Program always
needs more trained volunteers.

Family planning is a key to surviving a disaster
If disaster strikes while parents are at work and children are at school, what will you do? Have you ever discussed this with your family members? Do you know how you will get food, water or where you will stay if your home is unsafe to live in? The most essential elements of surviving a disaster are understanding that it can happen, and making a simple, common sense plan to deal with the event.
Have your family participate in preparing an emergency kit and storing emergency supplies.
Discuss where you might all meet, and try to plan to have one central contact person you may call to find out where everyone is located in the event you are separated. Talk to your local school or daycare about what their emergency plans are, so parents will know that their children are safe.
Valuable lifesaving information is located on the Government of Canada website at www.getprepared.gc.ca.
Don’t delay … start preparing to make you and your family as safe as possible by getting prepared.

In an effort to decrease the amount of organic materials being buried in the landfill, the district will be delivering 46-L green bins (“rot pots”) to each single-family and duplex household in Mission’s curb side collection area.
The Rot Pot is intended to provide a convenient way to separate food waste from regular garbage. It is not meant to replace yard waste bins or backyard composters, but rather to allow for diversion of those organic materials
that are not suitable for backyard composting, such as bones, cooked table scraps, moldy bread etc.
In a backyard composting environment, these materials decompose slowly and attract rodents and larger wildlife, such as raccoons and bears. However, if composted in a commercial composting operation, these materials break down quickly and can become a resource, rather than a waste material. By sorting
out all food waste, curb side garbage currently buried in the landfill could be reduced by approximately 2000 tonnes per year. To close the loop, residents will be able to pick up some free finished compost on special occasions throughout the year (to be advertised). Please do not include any plastics in your Rot Pot, as it will affect the finished compost quality.
There’s no doubt, the smell of food waste attracts bears. However, consider that by using your
Rot Pot, you are not setting out different materials at the curb - you are simply sorting them into a different container. It is, however, very important to store all curbside materials, including garbage, compost and recyclables, in a secure building or enclosure at all times, and only set them out on the morning of your scheduled collection day to reduce wildlife attraction.
The Rot Pot will be delivered to your doorstep starting June 13. It is expected that the rollout to all single-family and duplex homes will take approximately two weeks. More information on how to best use the Rot Pot will be included at the time of delivery, but if you have additional questions, please visit www.mission.ca or call the district’s engineering department at 604-820-3736.
Mission residents who do not live in the curb side collection area may separate their food waste and drop it off at the Mission Landfill for composting free of charge. In order not to be charged for the weight, residents dropping off food waste need to let the scalehouse operator know that their load contains food waste. Freezing food waste until a trip to the landfill is justified is a good way to reduce the smell and prevent the attraction of bears and other wildlife.
The Rot Pot - coming soon to your doorstep

The Heritage Park senior girls rugby team decimated the com-petition, and became the best AA squad in the province last week-end.
The provincials were held at Brentwood College on Vancouver Island, said coach Sandy Cham-bers, and while the first two games were cakewalks, the final against Shawnigan Lake proved to be the toughest match of the year.
“It was an incredibly hard fought
defensive game,” she said of the 3-0 win for Heritage.
After Shawnigan took a penalty right in front of the goal, all Cham-bers could hear was her husband’s oft-repeated advice, “always take the points,” ringing in her ears.
Lindsay Tosh scored the penalty kick, which wound up being all the points scored that day.
For the last portion of the game, the Highlanders held Shawnigan at its goal line for nearly eight min-utes, said Chambers. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”
Erin Chambers was named to the
all-star team, the President’s 15.Heritage Park won the Fraser
Valley championships two weeks ago, and first faced Williams Lake last weekend. The game was never in jeopardy, as the girls ran over the competition, 67-0. Lord Tweedsmuir fell to Heritage 45-0, ushering the Mission team into the final.
Chambers said the Grade 12s showed a high level of leader-ship, and there are several prom-ising young players coming up the ranks, ensuring Heritage will remain a threat next season.

football club is launch-ing a new division, cheer team and is offering free registration to 14 and 15 year olds interested in playing bantam.
The 2011 practice sea-son gets underway June 2 at Heritage Park Sec-ondary School, and five to seven year olds can now play for the popular organization in its newly formed flag division.
Boys and girls eight to 18 years old can take part in a cheer team, said president Brent Fair-weather.
“We have an experi-enced cheer coach for our 30-plus girls that are already registered,” he said. “The flag division will be a great enhance-ment for our program, allowing younger kids to participate in our great sport.”
Poor registration in the 14-15 year old bantams has prompted the board of directors to make reg-istration free in 2011, whether they play high school ball or not.
