Thousands of people worked together last week to make Mission shine through the 2014 BC Winter Games.
In a word, Games president Brian Antonson described the efforts as “amaz-ing.”
He was impressed with the volunteers, the athletes and how the major event came together.
Five Mission athletes competed at the Games, and all five climbed the podium at least once.
Short track speed skater Janie Green made a huge medal haul in the U14 girls division, including three gold (400-metre race 2, 200m pursuit, 2000m mixed relay), one silver (3000m points race) and two bronze (400m race 1, 1500m).
Fellow Mission speed skaters Shivani Bahadur (U14 2000m mixed relay) and Adam Holtby (U16 3000m mixed relay) both earned silver medals in relay events.
In gymnastics action at Mission Second-ary, Tamara Skulstad excelled, winning the all-around silver medal in Level 4 along with gold on the vault and silver on the floor. Kristofer Unipan helped the Fraser Valley boys gymnastics squad win

Community’s first BC Winter Games comes to successful close after four days
directors for exceeding his expectations in their duties, and pointed to chef Peter Bucher as an exam-ple of someone who went beyond his responsibilities.
Antonson had heard compliments about the food all weekend and commended the chef the morning after the compe-titions ended.
“He focused on good solid meals and made sure the kids had the proper nutrition,” Antonson said.
Antonson was a part of the planning committee for two years.
“I didn’t sign up for an easy two years, but I don’t think any of us knew how hard it would be,” shared Antonson. “Everyone rolled up their sleeves.”
If there were lessons to be learned, they were learned quickly, said Antonson, who noted the experience
taught him many things, including how to work with volunteers.
There were B plans and C plans developed for some sports like skiing, but in the end, no one could plan for the weather. The alpine skiing competition was cut short Saturday because of the heavy snowfall at Hemlock and organizers worked hard to prepare the course for Sunday.
All the planning and preparations paid off, said Antonson.
More than 1,000 peo-ple braved the cold tem-peratures and attended the opening ceremonies at Mission Raceway Park Thursday night, and atten-dance at sporting event venues was impressive. Some facilities were at capacity and organizers were only letting specta-tors in when others left.
Antonson visited every venue in Mission and watched as many sports
as he had time for. He was impressed by the athleti-cism and was pleased the kids had smiles on their faces.
One of the moments he’ll always remember is looking down the hallway
of one of the schools and seeing two girls walking on their hands and chatting.
Some athletes made their way home after their competition was over, but most stayed until after the closing ceremony, which took place Sunday after-noon. A volunteer appreci-ation event was held later in the day, with about 500 of the 2,000 individuals
who helped out making an appearance.
The snow deterred many people, suggested Anton-son, who breathed a sigh of relief shortly after mid-night when the last plane taking athletes home took
off from Vancouver Inter-national Airport.
Mission cannot thank the volunteers enough, said Mayor Ted Adlem, praising the board of direc-tors for their efforts.
There will be a special segment dedicated to Win-ter Games volunteers at this year’s Community Service Awards ceremony on May 31, and Adlem will
be meeting with Antonson later this week to discuss other ways to recognize what the group accom-plished.
One of the volunteers, former Mission mayor James Atebe, who served as a medal presenter and sergeant-at-arms of the Games, was “privileged and honoured” to be invited back to participate.
Atebe was mayor in 2009 when Mission put in a bid to host the 2014 Winter Games. The community had hosted a number of regional championships and needed another chal-lenge, Atebe explained.
Two other goals he envi-sioned at the time were providing a forum to inspire youth and improv-ing the volunteer base in Mission.
“I felt these Games also showcased Mission’s civic pride and community spirit,” said Atebe.
After all the invoices
are submitted and billsare paid, any remaining money left in the bud-get will be split between the BC Games Society forfuture events, and Mission to build a Games legacy. A committee will be formedthis spring to come up with suggestions for the legacy project, but regard-less of what that will be,one of the lasting legaciesis the spirit of volunteer-ism, said Antonson.
“A lot of people had fun,a lot had a good experi-ence giving back.”
The local economic impact from the four-dayevent will not be known until later this year when the results of a study on the economic spinoff are released. He also noted theeconomic spinoff from the 2008 B.C. Winter Games in the Kimberley-Cranbrookarea was $1.8 million.
Key efforts of volunteers laudedMission medalists at the BC Winter Games included speed skater Janie Green (top left) and gymnast Tamara Skulstad (right). Brent Hayden (top middle), Mission’s Olympic swimming medalist who is a BC Summer Games alum, carried the torch during the opening ceremony. Games president Brian Antonson (bottom row, centre left) hailed the “amazing” efforts of volunteers and athletes at the closing ceremony.
A lot of people had fun, a lot of people had a good experience giving back.

Councillor Nelson Tilbury is disputing claims made by the mayor last week that he did not follow proper procedure to get an issue into an in-camera meeting.
Mayor Ted Adlem told The Record last week that the conflict of inter-est accusation against Coun. Dave Hensman shouldn’t have been discussed in the public arena.
Tilbury had suggested Hensman might be in a conflict of interest for leasing a building about a block away from a property purchased by the district as part of the downtown revital-ization project. Hens-man participated in a unanimous council vote
to purchase the former Buy-Low building site.
At the Dec. 18, 2013 council meeting, Til-bury called for a “point of order” when Hens-
man was advocating to have churches included as a permitted use downtown.
Hensman is a pastor with a church group called The Gathering, which uses the down-town building leased by Big Sky Ventures, an investment corporation run by Hensman.
According to Mike Younie, Mission’s direc-tor of development ser-vices, cultural assem-blies for religious and cultural purposes are
allowed, but a church is not. The definition of a church relates to the building, such as having pews inside or a cross outside.
“In this case, noth-ing is being done with the building,” said You-nie, adding Hensman applied for a busi-ness licence and went
through the proper pro-cedures.
Tilbury also acknowl-edged he met with senior staff earlier and was told Hensman’s business was “not an issue” for the district.
However, Tilbury was unprepared for Hens-man’s statement on downtown uses.
“I’m not trying to destroy the man’s rep-utation,” said Tilbury. “I’m just saying I’m not comfortable with him lobbying (for churches downtown).”
Tilbury said he felt he had to speak up. In a video of the Dec. 18 meeting on the dis-trict’s website, Tilbury could be heard saying, “I don’t know how to bring it up. I almost would like to see us step into close for a
moment.”A couple of council
members said no, and Tilbury explained his objections in the open meeting.
“He mentioned we should go into close, but didn’t make a motion to go into closed,” said Adlem. “Had he made a proper motion, there would’ve been debate
and (the motion) would or would not have been accepted.”
Adlem had “assumed he (Tilbury) had changed his mind,” and didn’t think it was any-one’s responsibility to guide a councillor in proper procedure.
Adlem hopes after the next council meet-ing on March 3, his
council can get back tofocusing on business for the community.
“We’ve wasted twomonths of the yearalready playing politi-cal games,” said Adlem.“After March 3, if youwant to play politicalgames, do it in the hall-way, not council cham-bers.”

What are suitable salaries for Mission’s mayor and councillors?
It has been five years since the politicians have had a boost in pay and the district is now going to the public for input.
A staff report pre-pared for council last week suggested increas-ing the mayor’s annual salary from $64,384 to $70,178, and coun-cillors’ salaries from $22,280 to $26,705. The mayor also receives an annual car allowance of $2,400, while council-lors receive $1,200.
Coun. Tony Luck also
suggested including an extra $600 per ses-sion when a councillor serves as deputy mayor.
Elected officials have a combined expense account totalling $30,157, separated into travel ($10,000), con-ferences ($16,947), and miscellaneous ($3,210) such as cell phones and the mayor’s health plan.
Prior to making the recommendation, dis-trict staff compared the salaries of mayor and council from other similar-sized commu-nities. Mission’s popu-lation is estimated to be 36,426. In Campbell River where there is a population of 31,186,
the mayor’s salary for 2013 was $61,328, and a councillor’s salary was $23,423.
In Port Moody (popu-lation 32,975), the mayor earned $72,914, while a councillor earned $25,520. Vernon’s (pop-ulation 38,150) mayor and council were paid $68,124, and $24,858 respectively.
Mission staff is also recommending the sal-aries be reviewed and compared to other municipalities every year prior to an election and the Vancouver Con-sumer Price Index be used to establish salary levels in years without an election.
Chief administrative officer Ken Bjorgaard stressed whatever is decided for Mission will apply to the next coun-cil elected in November and is subject to ratifi-cation by the new coun-cil.
This is the first time Mission is seeking pub-lic input on council remuneration, said Bjor-gaard. “We’re commit-ted to seeking feedback on key issues.”
Anyone interested in commenting on the issue can send an email to [email protected]. Any comments made on social media will also be forwarded to council for review.

OPINION Published & printed by Black Press Ltd. at 33047 First Avenue, Mission V2V 1G2
Two years in the planning.Four days in action.Close to 1,400 athletes.Approximately 600 coaches and
referees.Nearly 2,000 volunteers.One thousand-plus people in the bit-
ter cold of opening ceremonies.Partnerships with six other commu-
nities, providing 14 sports venues.Five local athletes, all on the podium,
with a combined medal haul of 12, including four golds.
One word from BC Winter Games 2014 president Brian Antonson...
Amazing!Mission truly did itself proud with
this major event, the first Winter Games for the community.
It all went off remarkably smoothly, save for Mother Nature wreaking a bit of havoc at Hemlock Ski Resort on one day, causing some racing event can-cellation. That was beyond anyone’s control.
As for the rest of it – textbook.If you attended any of the events,
you’ll have seen some of what Mission hosted – some of the best young ath-
letes this province has to offer.You may have also witnessed per-
formances by future Olympians. It wouldn’t be the first time for such individuals to build internationally acclaimed sports careers in this city. Swimmer Brent Hayden of Mission is a recent example, and someone who was very prominent during the Games here.
Perhaps one of the most import-ant aspects of these, and any Winter Games, is that the young people had fun. Along with their supreme efforts, they exhibited something else – smiles. They enjoyed team camaraderie and made new friends.
They also came and left Mission safely, hopefully all with good mem-ories.
That’s a legacy to be proud of. That and the superb participation and hard work by all the volunteers – who spanned age, experience and back-ground.
Without them, the Games would not be possible, and they are due a sincere thank you.
Well done, Mission, for staging a highly successful Games.

The grizzly hunt in B.C. isn’t going away
A little-noticed protest tent sprouted up on the rain-soaked B.C. legislature grounds earlier this month.
Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver spoke, asking whether B.C. residents would tol-erate trophy hunting of killer whales. That would be a federal matter, but the point is vividly made about the onset of B.C.’s tradi-tional spring grizzly bear hunt.
It’s bigger this year, with Kootenay and Chilcotin wildlife management regions re-opened after closures were enacted to pre-serve grizzly populations. In all, more than 1,000 grizzly bears are up for grabs. As with limited-entry hunts for deer and other ani-mals, only about a third of those hunts are successful in an average year.
The rally was sponsored by the Coastal First Nations Great Bear Initiative, the part-
nership with U.S.-directed environment groups Sierra Club, Greenpeace and For-estEthics that has become so influential in B.C. affairs. It produced a survey showing that 88 per cent of B.C. residents oppose trophy hunting, and its California experts calculate a 10-fold increase in value when bear hunting gives way to bear watching.
The Raincoast Conservation Society has bought up half a dozen guiding territories on the remote B.C. coast. Combined with government restrictions, more than half the coast is now off limits to bear hunting. Naturally, activists want the whole prov-ince shut down.
Wildlife management is the responsibil-ity of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson. He’s heard plenty from all sides and he main-tains that bear watching and bear hunting will continue to coexist in B.C.
Thomson has just introduced legislation to permit hunting guide territories to be operated by corporations as well as individ-uals. This is a long-sought change, allowing First Nations companies and others access to bank loans to expand the industry.
Non-resident hunters are required to hire
a licensed guide-outfitter. Resident hunters pay $32 for a one-year hunting licence and $80 for a grizzly bear tag. Non-Canadians pay $180 for the licence and $1,030 for a chance at a grizzly.
Hunting in general is making a comeback in B.C. Ministry data show hunting licenses had declined to 85,633 in 2006, but recov-ered to reach 97,828 by 2013.
Thomson credits the work of the B.C. Wildlife Federation, which runs hunter training courses. Another program, Becom-ing an Outdoor Woman, has helped revive hunting and camping as a family activity, he said.
Growing up hunting in northeastern B.C., I was taught not to shoot anything I’m not prepared to eat. I also remember the struggles to protect caribou and other en-dangered prey species that at one time had B.C. biologists resorting to shooting wolves from helicopters.
The reopening of grizzly bear territories is marketed to urban residents as a horrible crime against nature. In fact, it’s a sign of increasing population.
Problems in B.C. wildlife these days in-clude the fragile mountain caribou herds
of the Kootenays, which have been subject to intensive management including reloca-tion of animals.
The ministry has also begun a five-year study of declining moose populations across a vast area of the Interior subject to salvage logging in the wake of the pine beetle epidemic.
Vancouver media recently highlighted a grizzly hunt by NHL journeyman Clayton Stoner. Typically, U.S. enviros promoted the deceased bear by name, “Cheeky,” and photos showed its carcass stripped to the skeleton by scavengers after Stoner left with the hide, paws and head.
They don’t mention that the same fate awaits animals that die of starvation or other natural causes, which increase when animals overpopulate. As with many B.C. issues, there’s a cartoon version sold to im-pressionable city dwellers, and then there’s the truth.

KIDDING OR EXERCISING HOSTILITYWhile there are many different types of humor, some good and some bad, one of the things we too often find humor in is making fun of others, or in ordinary parlance, making others the butt of our jokes. This type of humor is usually an exercise in hostility, and the person who is the butt of the joke rarely fails to perceive that the joke is a thinly veiled attack in which they are the object of contempt or ridicule. When this person’s feeling are hurt, it is common for the offending party to say they were just kidding, as if this somehow undoes the damage. Saying that we were just kidding only adds insult to injury, and if the person being made fun of doesn’t laugh it off after being told this, they are often considered to be overly sensitive. Even jokes which don’t single out a particular person can be hurtful to others, because they single out whole classes of people as objects of ridicule. Racist and sexist jokes fall into this category, as do dumb blonde jokes; blondes justifiably take offense at these jokes, because they realize that the insinuation of the joke is that all blondes are dumb. We would do well to hold our tongue when we have something funny to say at someone else’s expense. And, if we have hurt someone’s feeling with a joke at their expense, instead of saying, “Just kidding,” we should offer up a sincere apology.
If any one thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his
heart, this man’s religion is vain.

KIDDING OR
YOUR VIEWS
Well done and thank you to the over 2,000 volunteers who have spent the past many months preparing for the Mission 2014 BC Winter Games.
The BC Winter Games were a first for the Dis-trict of Mission and
those of who took the time to meet, train and host, can now sit back and celebrate, brag and smile at your collective success.
Whether a business contributing significant resources, or a volun-teer committing to a
shift, collectively you showed the rest of B.C. that you could do it.
As you counted on your neighbours in Abbotsford, Lang-ley, Hemlock or Maple Ridge, you also counted on each other to ensure the best and brightest
athletes and coaches from across B.C. had a memorable time on the shores of the Fraser River.
Revel in your good work and after some significant rest and reflection; consider strongly furthering your
new found volunteer skills and confidences by once again volun-teering to benefit the District of Mission.
Thank you once again!

BC Winter Games: Revel in good work
C o n g ra t u l a t i o n s , Mission on hosting the Winter Games and what a great coinci-dence to be at the same time as the Olympics.
However, I have a complaint.
I took my mom who is in a wheelchair to
watch figure skating at the leisure centre. She always enjoyed watching it on TV and I thought it would be a nice treat to see it live. We were going to have hot chocolate and enjoy the skating.
She was very excited
when I picked her up from her care home. When we got to the rink we were informed that there is no wheel-chair seating at all for the arena. Mom was only able to stare at the boards and hear the music. Const. Barron
from the RCMP even checked out the arena for any other spots she might be able to see and there was nothing. We were told she could watch hockey.
How does this even happen anymore? I thought wheelchair
access was a stan-dard thing these days. It would have taken a day to build a raised wooden platform for a wheelchair spec-tators! We were not impressed.
Gary Swan
No wheelchair seating in leisure centre
Over the years, I have never had rea-son to doubt the truth of what Neal Boorty said that religion is all too often a refuge for scoundrels. Anyone who has read my rants on organized religion shouldn`t be surprised by that truth which has guided my opin-ions on politicians pro-fessing religion long before Coun. Hensman came onto the scene.
So is Coun. Hensman
a scoundrel? I can`t honestly say one way or the other in regards to the alleged conflict of interest over a lease in a prime piece of real estate located in the middle of the proposed revitalization of down-town Mission.
The reason I can`t say is because he, the mayor, and Coun. Nun-dal blocked an arms-length investigation by the BC Supreme Court: a bone-headed move
in civil politics if I ever heard of one.
Those three amigos working together ensured that this issue isn`t going away and will – as noted by oth-ers – be tried in the court of public opinion.
Unfortunately for Coun. Hensman, he just doesn`t know when to quit talking, as now we had a let-ter in The Record from him decrying that his good name and reputa-
tion is being attacked. And most absurdly of all, claiming that reli-gion and human rights are being attacked by making some bizarre link with schoolyard bullying. The fact that religion itself is the first to trample on human rights makes his claims all the more foolish sounding.
Despite the “charm offence” from the mayor, the ability of the council to function
will remain in sham-bles. For that reason, I agree that a councillor should indeed imme-diately resign, but that person must be Coun. Hensman himself. He needs to put his siz-able ego to one side in the best interests of our city and practise some of that humility he preaches from his bully pulpit.
Robert T. RockMission
It is really disheart-ening, with all the problems we have today, to listen to dis-enchanted local politi-
cians, waste precious time fighting over their egos. Do you think they could put aside their differences of
opinion and get back to running the com-munity.
Why don’t they just shake hands and
make up? After all, if they can’t get along together, how could they possibly show any united resolve to com-
munity-based prob-
lems? It’s just ridicu-
lous, grow up.

Winners of next November’s local elec-tions will serve four years on councils and school boards.
The change is to take effect in time for elec-tions next fall.
Mission Mayor Ted Adlem is welcoming the move.
“All of us that are elected – whether we agree or disagree – work hard and to the best of our ability, to get a lot of things started, but we don’t see a lot of things
accomplished in three years,” said Adlem.
He also noted a four-year cycle coinciding with the provincial election, will eliminate byelections at the local government level.
“There is a consid-erable cost to running elections,” added Mis-sion school board chair Edie Heinrichs.
She also noted new trustees have a lot to learn in three years, and an extra year will help them get things done.
Minister of Commu-nity, Sport and Cultural
Development Coralee Oakes said Tuesday she will introduce legisla-tion shortly to extend local government terms from three years to four.
Oaakes said the change comes after the Union of B.C. Munici-palities supported it at their convention last September. The issue has been debated many times and has been divi-sive over the years, with some rural politicians arguing against extend-ing the commitment for jobs with little pay.
Oakes, who served two terms on Quesnel city council before being elected to the B.C. leg-islature last year, said she had her own doubts about it when it was debated during that time. But she has made up her mind.
“The reason why provinces across Can-ada have moved to four years is it provides greater certainty in communities to move those very import-ant projects forward, things such as infra-structure improve-
ments,” Oakes said. “Itprovides opportunitiesfor local government officials to understand their projects and tocarry them through.”
The change would mean the next munic-ipal election would be held in 2018, on aschedule that followsprovincial elections byone year. Oakes said there was no intent toavoid having both elec-tions at the same time, and she is acting in response to the UBCM’svote to go ahead.

Anybody for Mur-der opens on Opening Nite Theatre’s stage on March 7 and runs until March 23.
Anybody for Mur-der is about a man named Max who is planning to murder his wife and use the life insurance money he expects to collect to enjoy life with his girlfriend. George, the husband of Max’s girl-friend, arrives unex-pectedly with news that both Max’s girl-friend and wife are the beneficiaries of a large fortune.
Now everyone has murder on their minds and all that stands in their way is a neigh-bour, crime writer Edgar Chambers, who knows a thing or two about murder.
The comedy was written by Brian Cle-mens and David Spooner.
The play is directed by Gerwyn Mills, who has been a part of the
local theatre group since it began 20 years ago.
Mills began his career in show busi-ness in Wales at age seven and was a cho-
ral soloist in a weekly radio show conducted by his father. He took on children’s roles in musicals and films and spent several years touring Britain.
When he moved to Canada with his fam-ily in 1963, he worked for the government, but continued to be involved in theatre.
He had leading roles
with the Abbotsford Musical Theatre Soci-ety, and worked with the Chilliwack The-atre Guild, the Fraser Valley University The-atre Campus, the Gal-ley and Gallery dinner theatre and Theatre Under the Stars. He also spent many years with Heritage Valley Resort where he was involved with plays, musicals and dinner theatre.
Anybody for Mur-der runs Thursday through Sunday from March 7-23 at Opening Nite Theatre in Mis-sion, 33223 N. Railway Avenue. Show times are 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. on Sunday.
For tickets, visit o p e n i n g n i t e t h e -atresociety.com or call 604-826-6687.

WHAT’S HAPPENING
The Mission Record Friday, February 28, 2014 13
drivewayBC.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat drivewayBC.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat
Tugging at the tails of top selling trucksIf there is one segment of the auto business that takes dynamite to get people to change brands, it’s the full-size pickup truck category,I’m sure most of us know of someone who is a “Ford guy” or “Chevy diehard” owner, and getting him or her to move to a new truck would be almost impossible. It wasn’t until the last Toyota Tundra was introduced in 2007 that Toyota was a real con-tender. That 2007 Tundra and this refreshed 2014 model are designed, en-gineered and even built in America, helping to pull loyal domestic buyers away. The Tundra is even as capable as many of the domestic brands but in some ways it still has a way to go to truly be an alternative to Ford, GM and Ram.
LooksAs part of the 2014 redesign, Toyota went about setting up a slightly different look for each of its trim levels. Sold as an SR5, Limited and Platinum, each has a variation of the oversized front grille. The wheel openings are now larger and squarer, fram-ing wheel sizes ranging from 18-inches on the SR5 and Limited and 20-inches on the Platinum. The Tailgate has a soft open feature, stopping it from slamming down, that is fantastic but there is no side step or ladder into the bed the way Ford and the new GM trucks have. Sold as a regular car, double cab or Crew Cab, there is a model for most buyers.
InsideJust as the outside was redesigned to have a unique character for each trim, the inside mimics this idea. The Platinum model I tested is covered with a diamond pattern, or quilted look used on the leather seatbacks, side door inserts and dash front panel. It
is a step up from the lower trims but not nearly as supple and luxurious as the new batch of interiors from Ram and GM. Those trucks, in particular, have almost luxury-sedan interiors that make the driver forget they are in a truck. The Tundra, in comparison, is a bit stark, featuring a hard, simple plastic dash and door pieces that don’t compare. The centre screen is smaller than many competitors are, and the screen embedded in the instrument cluster is small. What has been improved is the overall layout of the centre console. The back seat is massive and flips up with just one hand to make room for interior storage. I found the last Tundra to have a very high seating position that limited headroom. This new 2014 seems to have a better seating position, no longer crimping headroom for taller drivers.
DrivePowering the Tundra are two V8 gasoline engines. The base model has a 4.6L V8 with 310hp and 327 lb.-ft. of torque. The larger 5.7L has 381hp and 401 lb.-ft. of torque. This is one area that the Toyota cannot compete; there is no V6 offered and no diesel (Ram only), which the domestic makers do offer. By limiting the available engine options and not having a heavy-duty model that will certainly diminish the
number of domestic buyers willing to give Tundra a try. On the road, I was surprised at just how rough the ride is in comparison to the all-new GM trucks, which really are like driving a big sedan. I would also place the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 a very close second in ride comfort. The Tundra is choppy on rough roads and the noise level is on the high side. Toyota claims to have im-proved ride quality on this refreshed 2014 model but I am not a fan of the ride.
VerdictThe Tundra is a capable truck. When equipped it can tow up to 4760 kg, which is on the high side in this class. What surprised me the most was the real “trucky” ride. I have had extensive seat time in all three domes-tic brands over the past year and I have to say that they are best sellers for a reason – the refinement is rather dramatic.
The LowdownPower: 4.6L V8 with 310hp or 5.7L V8 with 381hpFill-up: 15.8L/11.0L/100km (city/highway 5.6L) Sticker price: $26,750-$54,000
Safety Tip:Every day brings us closer to more favourable spring weather but remember we still have plenty of rain ahead of us. It’s a good time of year to consider whether you need to change your
wiper blades and to top up your windshield washer fl uid.

Volvo is hitching some of its revival hopes to a wag-on – the 2015 Volvo V60 Sportswagon.Its grille is clearly all-Volvo
but those typically boxy looks that characterized the make from your dad’s day are gone. In looks it’s a design variation of the S60 sedan and it will be a welcome sight for loyalists
of the Swedish brand. The wagon featured recently along with the S60 and XC60 crossover at a launch event in the Nevada desert.The Volvo execs proudly talked about their new
Drive-E powertrains, developed thanks to the megabucks available now that the company is owned by the Chinese Geely Automotive. Ford ownership may now be retreating in Volvo’s rearview mirror but it is still beholden to the US manufacturer for the platforms upon which these three 2015 models ride. Model year 2014 saw a refresh of all three midsize Volvo models showing in the desert so this was truly about the new engines. The Drive-E family of gas, diesel and hybrid (the latter not yet, but soon) engines are built around a single, 2.0-li-tre four-cylinder powerplant. It’s a brave gamble, worthy of Vegas, when you ponder the XC90 relying on such a small engine. Asked if this were a safe bet, the Swedes just smiled and promised the performance of the four-cylinder configuration will equal their big brothers by using such technologies as direct fuel injection, tur-
bocharging, supercharging and electrification.Here in the Great White North, just the two gas en-gines will be offered initially – the new turbocharged T5 pumps out 240 horsepower, while the turbo’ed and su-percharged T6 adds another 62 horses. The base front-wheel-drive V60 T5, with a new eight-speed automatic trans-mission, will set you back $39,800. Volvos have never been cheap. The other three Sportswagons will continue to use existing power-plants, six-speed automatic transmissions and Haldex all-wheel-drive systems.I got some seat time in the V60 and S60 (S60 with T5 $37,750. T6 $42,850), taking in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Valley of Fire state park and Red Rock Canyon. The T5-equipped wagon is a smooth operator in perfor-mance and ride. And while you won’t burn rubber at the green light, it will take
off when necessary. Volvo says it will hit 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds if given the lead foot treatment. (The T6 in sedan tells a slightly racier story. Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating but only a little and I look forward pressing the pedal to the metal where I can legally do so.)The T5 fuel economy ratings fare well in comparison with the market competi-tion – 9.4/6.3/8.1 L/100km (city/hwy/combined). These numbers are squeezed out of the power plant with the help of the standard engine stop/start system and the efficient new eight-speed transmission, which slips into a neutral coasting mode when you lift your
foot off the gas. Inside, the instrument panel stretches the span of the car and features an attractive floating centre console, which mixes good looks with functionality. Swedes are safety conscious, of course, and that means lane change, cross traffic, blind spot warnings and alerts.The front seating is comfort-able if a little soft on a long drive. Rear seating ditto and headroom is good despite the coupe-style slope of the rear. Great storage room in the rear. The 40/20/40 split second row folds flat to provide enough space to move a small apartment’s furniture. Just kidding but you get the picture.

‘‘Learning car control in less than perfect circumstances is available to all who have $795 . . . it’s money extremely well spent.’’Alexandra Straub
The man from BMW once called me a hooker.Surprisingly, I wasn’t that offended. I actually laughed at such a descriptor, as did everyone else around me.I didn’t feel so bad because I wasn’t the only one in the group labelled thusly at the brand’s Driver Training; a full day of driving 3 Series se-dans (back then) to improve our own car control. I didn’t have too many years of driving experience back then but I unfortunately I had picked up a few bad habits on the road.What’s a ‘hooker’, according to the instructors at the Ger-man automaker’s training? Someone who hooks his or her hand into the steering wheel when making a turn.
It’s a big boo-boo and not an effective way to drive. It’s also totally unsafe should an accident occur in the process. Needless to say, pointing out the ‘hooker’ in me caused me to change my habits for the better. And in the most recent installment of learning car control with BMW, no such noun was used when relat-ing to my technique. Thank goodness.It’s minus 15 degrees at the ICAR track in Mirabel, Quebec. The sun is out and there’s a lineup of all-new 435i coupes just begging to be driven.Some are equipped with the brand’s all-wheel drive system. Some are rear-wheel drive. Regardless, I’ll have my way with both configura-tions by the end of the day, so to speak.The adventure is better known as the Winter Driver Training program, offered exclusively at the ICAR location. That said, you don’t need to own a BMW to participate. Learning car control in less than perfect circumstances is available

to all who have $795. In my opinion, it’s money extreme-ly well spent.The day starts out with an
in-class session that goes over theory and what will be executed throughout the various exercises. It’s kept relatively short so we have more drive time.
It’s mentioned that we’ll be practicing manouevres with and without electronic help, to put both power and performance to the test. Oh yeah.
Proper seating position is outlined when we initially get behind the wheel. Then we’re off.You might ask what is the point behind putting one of BMW’s latest products sideways on an ice track in subzero temperatures. My initial answer is only three letters long and to the point: fun. But that’s only a by-product of what the impetus behind the program is; a program that started back in 1977 and is now offered in 35 countries.The main goal is safety. It’s designed to introduce drivers to techniques that might help correct the car if it is not doing what you want it to for whatever reason. For example, if your wheels are pointed in one direction, but your car is going straight ahead, what should you do? That’s called understeer. The instinctual thing to do is keep adding more steering, but that won’t help. Ease off the throttle and try to straighten your wheel so your tires can regain grip. Or, if you feel the back end of the car breaking loose, how do you wrangle it in? You countersteer and don’t lift off the throttle. It sounds easier said than done, but the techniques do work!Putting yourself and the 435i through the paces in a safe and controlled environment is the best place to learn. If you spin out, you’re not going to go into oncoming traffic. You just stop, turn the car around, and keep going. You’ll probably giggle a little in the process and tell yourself you’ll “get it next time.”Heck, if you knock over a few cones, no one will judge you either. It’s all part of the process.There are also dynamic brak-ing exercises that teach you how the car reacts when you have ABS, and what you can do in these conditions. You’ll even learn reverse 180s.Philippe Létourneau is the head instructor of the pro-gram and says, “People learn a lot more when they’re having fun.” I agree.He also mentions that if people walk away from the course with a couple of new-ly established driving habits that make them overall a safe driver, that’s ideal.However, if your face doesn’t feel stiff from smiling, or your abs don’t hurt from laughing, perhaps you weren’t trying hard enough. What’s not to like about that?

Tires are one of the most important features of the truck when it comes to improving its ride.It is vital to make the right choice and then maintain them so they last for a long time. Before you choose the best tire for your truck, it is essential to understand the terms of the truck tire world. Tires for example are specified in this form - 265/75R/16. The first number is the width of the truck tire, the second number is the aspect ratio or height of the sidewall and the third number is the wheel diameter or rim size. The height of your sidewall is important and should be chosen based on the condi-tions where you drive your truck most often. If you only drive on the street, then a low profile truck tire will be fine, but if you go off-roading then you are going to want more tire in between your rim and the ground. That way you will not bottom out on the rims when the tires encounter
rough terrain off-road. Wider tires have more contact area with the ground, thus giving your truck a better grip, both on and off-road. Your truck’s handling becomes easier because of the bigger tire width. On the other hand, the same wider truck tire
will make more noise and may decrease the fuel efficiency of the truck. Wider tires can also slip more when it rains, not that it rains much in Vancouver. The size of the rim is a personal preference. The larg-er-sized rims are popular today. Just
make sure that the rim and truck tire you choose will fit inside the wheel well of the truck, and don’t forget to upgrade your brakes to help stop this increase in weight. The wheel rim width varies from truck to truck. It can be cus-tom-made to suit both on and off-road driving conditions. The wheel rim width is rounded off to the nearest half inch of the tire.
Usually, the best choice is to have the rim width at about 90 per cent of the tread width of the tire.The most important safety aspect of maintenance on your truck is to keep its tires intact and in good shape. A blown tire can cause an accident in an instant. The number one cause of the tire wear and tear is incorrect tire pressure. All the tires on the truck should have consistent air pressure to carry the weight equally. Adequate air pressure is important for a good tire
life, handling and traction. Look through your owner’s manual, on the sticker inside the driver’s door, or look on the tire itself to find the correct air pressure that you need to maintain them. Seasonal changes can af-fect the air pressure of the tires. Cold temperatures are responsible for dropping the air pressure of the tires, and warm temperatures are responsible for increasing the air pressure. A 10 per cent swing in the tempera-tures causes a 1lb. change in the air pressure. Sudden
changes in temperature are a good time to check the pressure of the tires. You can reduce the wear and tear of the truck’s tires by rotating them often. Rotating the tires keeps the tread wear balanced and can really help when slippery and wet conditions occur. A simple rule about rotating your tires is to do it on every other oil change. Doing this on a consistent basis, will make the tires last longer and allow a comfortable ride for many, many kilometres.
Where the rubber hits the road matters in tire selection
Change your tires according to the conditions you are driving in the most.‘‘If you only drive on the street then a low profile truck tire will be fine, but if you go off-roading then you are going to want more tire in between your rim and the ground..’’Ian Harwood

Council Remuneration: Public Input NeededThe Mayor and members of Council all receive nancial compensation for the work that they do. This remuneration gives an incentive to community members that may want to hold public of ce, and also shows appreciation for the time and commitment required to effectively govern the District of Mission. Currently, the District’s policy includes a salary of $64,560.60 for the Mayor and $22,340.88 for each member of Council. In addition, the Mayor also receives medical, extended health and dental bene ts. Council is considering a new policy on council remuneration and expenses and wants to hear back from the community. Highlights of the proposed changes include a Mayor’s
salary of $70,178 per year and a Councillor’s salary of $26,705 per year, based on the average of numerous comparable municipalities in BC. As well, a Councillor would receive an additional $600 per month for serving as Acting Mayor. These new salary levels would only come into after the next election, and must be approved by the newly elected Council. Medical Services Plan, extended health and dental bene ts will continue to be offered to the Mayor, with 100 per cent of the premium being paid for by the District, and other members of Council and all their dependents may participate in these bene ts but must pay their own premiums. Under the new policy, Council salary levels would be reviewed every three years, and in the intervening years salaries
would be adjusted using the consumer price index. The proposed policy and report to Council can be viewed on the District’s web site at www.mission.ca. Tell us whether or not you feel that the current compensation and bene t levels for the Mayor and Councillors are adequate, or if you think changes are needed. You can send a letter to the mailing address below, or you can send your comments via email to [email protected]. There will also be a Town Hall Forum on April 1 where you can come to Municipal Hall and share your ideas.
Final consideration of the council remuneration and expense policy is expected to be on an April agenda of Council.

Two of Mission’s most dedicated volunteers, Elsie
Lightburn and Rhona Jacobsen, offered smiles and warm hospitality to young athletes who arrived in Mission last week for the B.C. Winter Games.
At ages 92 and 93 respectively, Elsie and Rhona are two of the oldest volunteers helping out in the Games.
Both agree it was a good experience.
“I like talking to different people,” said Elsie, who learned kids preferred to “knuckle” rather than shake hands.
“Some of them looked at you and walked by, but the majority of them did shake hands,” noted Rhona, who had her hand extended out to everyone that walked into the small gym at Heritage Park secondary school Thursday morning.
People are more afraid than ever of “picking up a germ,” Rhona added.
Elsie and Rhona, who worked together at the Old Age Pensioners Organization, also combined efforts to engage athletes by asking them where they were from and what sport
they would be participating in.The women have been involved
in the community for many years and were eager to help out any way they could.
Even after their welcoming duties were finished, they looked for other ways to help.
Elsie watched some activities at the Leisure Centre, such as curling, hockey and figure skating, while Rhona continued speak with young athletes.
“I enjoyed it very much,” said Rhona. “It really did my heart good to look around and see all those positive kids.”

Lorraine Logan is the new president for Council of Senior
Citizens’ Organizations of B.C. (COSCO), B.C.’s largest federation of seniors.
Logan previously served as COSCO’s second vice-president, and spoke for the organization on transportation issues including DriveABLE and accessible transit services.
Logan said there are many issues where the voice of today’s seniors must be heard.
“Governments generally have failed to recognize the positive contributions that seniors can make,” she said. “ British Columbians are living longer, healthier lives. In some instances, this creates challenges, but it also creates
immense opportunities.”A key issue that COSCO will
be tackling immediately is the defense of public health care, threatened by the federal government’s refusal to renegotiate the federal-provincial Health Accord which expires March 31.
“Seniors will be visiting their Members of Parliament to urge them to improve public health care, and not allow Ottawa to reduce its financial contribution. We can strengthen health care, and actually save money, by establishing national Pharmacare and home support programs,” explained Logan.
Other priorities affecting seniors include affordable housing, accessible
transportation services, and the need to improve public pensions, said Logan.
COSCO is an umbrella organization that brings together 85 different seniors groups, representing 107,000 women and men, to work on common issues. COSCO is affiliated with the one million member National Pensions Federation which promotes these issues at the national level.
A major focus of COSCO’s work is promoting good health. To this end, COSCO volunteers provide a series of free workshops on 38 topics ranging from falls prevention to health literacy. More than 6,000 seniors have attended these workshops.

February is heart month
Did you know more Canadians are surviving heart attacks and strokes than ever before.
The death rate has declined by more than 75 per cent over the last 60 years, according to the B.C. Heart and Stroke Foundation, and last year there were 165,000 heart attack and stroke survivors.
Although progress is being made, there is still a
lot of work to do.Cardiovascular disease is a
concern for many older people and the term is used to describe numerous health problems related to the heart and blood vessels.
Despite the fact that in many cases cardiovascular disease can be preventable through physical activity, healthy diet and lifestyle changes, this is still the second-leading cause of death in B.C., claiming approximately 6,000 British Columbians a year.
Risks for developing cardiovascular disease include:
smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol and obesity, as well as risk factors that we cannot control such as age, gender, ethnicity and family history.
These three lifestyle changes can dramatically reduce your risk and can help keep your heart healthy:
1. Quit smoking. Smoking is linked to virtually all major causes of death and disease in Canada and quitting smoking is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of heart disease or stroke.
2. Physical activity. No matter how busy life gets, it is important to remember that getting out and doing some activity is better than doing none at all. With each step you take you are doing your heart a favour and are helping to increase your overall health.
3. Healthy eating. A diet high in fruits, vegetables and fibre and low in sodium and saturated and trans fat is ideal for getting the nutrition your body needs and for keeping your heart healthy.
Starting this month, commit to keeping active and make your heart health a priority.

Blood pressure is the force of blood against your blood vessels as it circulates through your body. This force is necessary to make blood flow and to deliver oxygen through your body. High blood pressure means that there is too much pressure in your blood vessels. This high pressure can damage your blood vessels which may lead to stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, sexual dysfunction and eye problems.
Anyone can develop high blood pressure, but it becomes more common as you get older. It is important to check your blood pressure whether you have high readings or not. High blood pressure has no warning signs or symptoms. This is why it is referred to as the “silent killer”.
Measuring your blood pressure at home helps your healthcare
provider to understand how well you blood pressure is controlled day to day. It also helps to show you how medication and lifestyle can affect your blood pressure readings. If you are diagnosed with high blood pressure talk to your doctor discuss normal readings. Learn how to monitor your blood pressure at home and keep a record to show your doctor at each appointment. Only buy a monitor with the health check symbol as it has been tested and approved by the Canadian Hypertension Society for accuracy. Automatic monitors are easier to use. Blood pressure cuffs come in different sizes and it is very important that the cuff fits your arm properly. The wrong size will give you an incorrect reading.
Lifestyle changes may help to improve your blood pressure levels. Dietary choices should include
fruits and vegetables, low fat dairy, whole grain products and lean meat and poultry. Try to limit canned and processed foods and remove the salt shaker from the dinner table. Limit alcohol and quit smoking. Try to reduce stress. Be physically active and manage your weight. Always discuss any diet or exercise programs with your health
professional.Visit your live well Pharmasave
team to help you choose the right Blood Pressure machine for you. Sit down for a one on one demonstration of the machine as well as receive advice on how to get the most accurate measurement.

Like puzzles? Then you’ll love Sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off.
How it works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fi ll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can fi gure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle. Look for the solution in next month’s puzzle section of Living 55 Plus.

Dental Implants gave us a confi dent smile
This couple have something to smile about. They used to wear dentures, which caused discomfort, an inability to eat many foods and a lack of con dence when it came to smiling and talking.
Now they enjoy the freedom of NobelSmile dental implants, which areas 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.”
“Whether you have a single tooth, several teeth or everyone of them missing...we can help.”

THE SPRING RUSH! -Shawn & Aaron, Owners of Ecowest
Roadrunners sign on dotted lineHorton, Bhogal, Clarkson secure football scholarshipsDan KINVIGMISSION CITY RECORD
Three of Mission’s top high school foot-ball players have nailed down university schol-arships.
Evan Horton and Arjun Bhogal of the Mission Secondary Roadrunners have com-mitted to join the UBC Thunderbirds, while their high school team-mate Matt Clarkson is ticketed for the Mani-toba Bisons.
Horton is best known for his exploits on offence – he was the AA provincial player of the year last season after leading all quarterbacks in rush yards with 1,116, and throwing for an additional 1,065 yards.
His university future, though, will be as a linebacker, and he said he’s looking forward to making a full-time tran-sition to defence at UBC.
“It’s going to be nice not to be so tired,” he said with a chuckle. “When you’re on the field all the time, some-times it even gets hard
to think out there. It’s going to be really nice to focus on defence.”
Bhogal missed the bulk of his senior sea-son due to a knee injury – he tore his MCL and sprained his ACL during a September game vs. the W.J. Mouat Hawks. But the UBC coaching staff had seen enough of the defensive line-man during his Grade 11 year, when he earned an Eastern Conference all-star nod.
“It was a scary moment for me,”
Bhogal said, reflecting on the injury. “I knew I wouldn’t be playing for the rest of the year.
“But I was really, really happy that I got rec-ognized (by UBC), even though I didn’t play this year.”
Clarkson, an offen-sive lineman, comes by his talent honestly – his father Larry played offensive tackle for the B.C. Lions, and older brother Tom (a 2012 Mission Secondary grad) landed a scholar-ship from the University
of Nevada-Las Vegas.“He’s always been
supportive,” Clarkson said, reflecting on his dad’s influence on his athletic career. “Having him there, not forc-ing me to do anything but helping me when I needed it, was huge. I wouldn’t be here with-out him.”
Clarkson considered following his class-mates to UBC, but ulti-mately elected to sign with Manitoba because he’s a big fan of Bisons coach Brian Dobie.
Evan Horton, Matt Clarkson and Arjun Bhogal of the Mission Roadrunners football team recently signed letters of intent to seal university football scholarships. CAROL AUN PHOTO
