New council takes helm

By Kevin DiakiwLooking confi dent and sure-

footed, newly minted Mayor Linda Hepner laid out her priorities on Monday night as she and her Sur-rey First team were sworn into of-fi ce.

A crowd of about 400 packed council chambers at Surrey’s new city hall when the recently-elected Surrey council was escorted in by an honour guard.

Hepner began by thanking out-going mayor Dianne Watts for her three terms. Watts is now planning to run federally for the Conserva-tives in South Surrey-White Rock.

“Dianne Watts never met a good idea she didn’t like,” Hepner said, adding she looks forward to work-ing with Watts when she is in Ot-tawa. “And by the way, I’ve got a little light rail project I want to talk to you about.”

Hepner listed her priorities in the years to come.

Her fi rst order of business is to promote a “yes” vote in this spring’s transportation referendum.

She also plans to make good on her promise to hire another 100 police offi cers next year.

“We will place an emphasis on neighbourhood policing,” Hep-ner said. “You will see front-line offi cers build relationships with residents and business owners and become more engrained in the very fabric of our neighbourhoods.”

She will create a business advi-sory council to accelerate growth in the private sector.

She also wants to make Sur-rey one of the nation’s most “age-friendly” cities, starting with a se-niors’ summit in 2015.

She will create a “social innova-tion strategy” bringing together the best minds in strengthening the city’s social safety net.

Hepner became emotional when

Racetrack legend retiresBy Jennifer LangVeteran driver, owner and

trainer Ray Gemmill, a legend of the Cloverdale Raceway, is calling it a day, stepping away from a ca-reer in harness racing that spans six decades.

On Sunday (Dec. 7) aft er the races, colleagues held a retirement pot luck celebration for a man who was instrumental in building the landmark racetrack.

Gemmill’s career was well un-derway when he headed west from Orangeville, ON, with Jim

Keeling Sr. and other investors to found the Cloverdale Raceway, now known as Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino, his base for 38 years.

On opening day, on Jan. 1, 1976, Gemmill drove the racetrack’s fi rst winner – a horse named Guy Do-minion owned by nine members of the Vancouver Canucks.

“I don’t remember a whole lot about the race, but I remember the celebration later,” he told Stan-dardbred Canada in 2010 about the group of NHLers.

“Th ose boys sure knew how to party.”

He retired as a driver in 1991, but over the next quarter of a century, he continued to own and train horses, earning a solid repu-tation as a respected and well-liked horseman.

Gemmill once told horse racing columnist and former jockey Tom Wolski he realized he wasn’t go-ing to be a superstar, but, “I made a living. I was a better trainer

Doggone it, Santa

BOAZ JOSEPH / BLACK PRESSKaya, a two-year-old shepherd-husky cross, prepares for a photo with Santa at Urban Safari Rescue Society. Cloverdale’s Alison Vlooswyk brought the dog to the South Surrey non-profi t society’s fi rst such Christmas fundraiser on Dec. 6.

Horse races for Surrey Food BankHere’s a great reason to put your money on Buddy’s

Hope this month at Fraser Downs.His owner and trainer, Daniel Gaboury, has off ered

to donate all earnings for his horse during the month of December to the Surrey Food Bank.

“Once Christmas is over the food bank supplies get depleted, and hopefully Buddy can help fi ll those shelves going into the New Year,” he said.

Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino and Harness Racing B.C. will both match Gaboury’s off er, and Jack-son Wittup, executive director of Harness Racing B.C., will donate $50 for each of Buddy’s wins.

“Daniel has always contributed to various fundrais-ers in the backstretch at diff erent racetracks where he has raced, and wanted to do something for the com-munity this year,” Wittup said.

Buddy’s Hope came in 4th in the 10th race Sunday aft ernoon (Dec. 7), contributing $ 1,596 to the cause.

From front

Gemmill one of eight in their 80sThey’re still in the sport despite the hard work

than a driver, put it that way.”When asked by Wolski’s Sport

of Kings TV how it was possible to last so long in harness racing, Gemmill smiled and laughed. “I don’t know,” he shrugged.

Gemmill’s passion for horses has always come fi rst, according to Harness Racing B.C. executive director Jackson Wittup, who says Gemmill bought his fi rst horse at 27. His favourite was a pony named Innocent Bob, bred by his father, and who raced until the age of 15.

“Not many people truly love their jobs,” Gemmill said.

Remarkably, at 84, Gemmill isn’t the only octogenarian draw-ing on years of experience to hone a new generation of champions at Fraser Downs.

He’s one of eight men in their 80s at the Cloverdale racetrack who are still active in the sport.

Th ere’s Bill Young, 87, Marcel Bouvier, 82, Dan Ingram, 84, Leo LaBalle, 88, Vianney Archam-bault, 86, Richard Craig, 80, and Magne Ness, 82 – all involved in live racing this season as trainers and owners.

It’s a punishing schedule – cleaning stalls, exercising and training the horses as much as six

times a week – then there are two days of live racing, Friday nights and Sunday aft ernoons during the season.

Th e lure of the next big win might explain their commitment; on Nov. 28, one of Ingram’s horses won a race. And, two weeks ear-lier, horses trained by Bouvier (Secret Identity) and Young (Lis-vinnie) had wins.

When asked what has con-tributed to their longevity in the sport, Wittup, who helms the as-sociation that represents owners, trainers, drivers and breeders, said they’d all told him, “‘Th e pas-sion of the horse’ had kept them in the game so long. Th ese par-ticular eight also indicated that they needed a reason to get off the couch and to keep their minds ac-tive.”

Th en there’s the breed.“Th e Standardbred horse in

general is so easy to work with, so I’m sure that makes a big dif-ference.”

Wittup suspects the cold weather is the biggest reason be-hind Gemmill’s retirement this December.

“I think he would have hung in there a little longer if we raced in the summer.”

Opinions

Christy Clark on climate, clawbacks and credit cards

A year-end interview with Premier Christy Clark. For an extended version see the opinion section at www.CloverdaleReporter.com

TF: Are you still confi dent that we’re go-ing to see a major LNG project approved by the end of 2014?

PCC: We’re still in negotiations with Petro-nas and Shell, so I don’t know if it will be by the end of 2014, but I’m hoping in the next few months.

[Days aft er this interview, Petronas an-nounced a delay in their investment decision until 2015.]

TF: I talked to a couple of SFU climate mitigation specialists, and they agreed that it’s unlikely to the point of impossible to have a major LNG industry and still meet Gordon Campbell’s ambitious greenhouse gas target of a 33 per cent reduction by 2020. What do you think?

PCC: I think that we may prove them wrong. Many of these facilities, not all of them, will be partly or fully electrically pow-ered up, so that reduces those impacts, and there’s going to be a real incentive to invest in new technology to minimize that as well.

I think the bigger picture is what really matters, which is that in shipping 82 million tonnes of liquefi ed natural gas to Asia, we help them get off coal and other dirtier sources of oil, and that is the biggest contribution that

we’ve ever made to reducing climate change.TF: Ontario and Quebec have taken a

page from your book. Th ey have seven con-ditions for an oil pipeline, Energy East, which involves conversion of gas pipelines and taking Alberta oil to the East Coast. What do you think?

PCC: I think they took our fi ve conditions and elaborated on them. So you’ve got British Columbia, Alberta, now On-tario and Quebec, all signed on to some version of the fi ve con-ditions. And of course Enbridge and Kinder Morgan as well.

TF: What about the condi-tions they have added?

PCC: One of the things they say they want to protect against is a shortage of natural gas com-ing to Ontario and Quebec. Th ese are the same two provinces that have put a moratorium on extracting natural gas. Th ey want to make sure that we do it here, good enough for us to do, and send it to them, but they won’t do that themselves. I look at their last two conditions, and I roll my eyes a little bit.

TF: All the way to New Brunswick, they’ve basically bought the anti-hydraulic fractur-ing myth?

PCC: Yes. Somehow they all watched an American mockumentary or whatever you call it, and believed it. Here in British Colum-bia we do fracking better than anywhere in the world. It is the gold standard.

TF: Finance Minister Mike de Jong says we have a surplus estimated at more than $400 million for this fi scal year, and he suggested that much of that would have to go to pay off defi cits from previous years. Of course the opposition is interested in welfare rates and in particular ending child support clawbacks. What’s your view?

PCC: Like any family that’s been through tough times, the fi rst thing you need to do when you get back to fi nding a job and making an income again, is to pay off your credit cards. And that’s what we’re

going to do.We are going to see if we can fi nd ways to

improve some of the programs over time, but can’t do that until we can aff ord it. It’s typical, the NDP want us to spend the money before we have it.

Sombre anniversaryCONTRIBUTED PHOTO

Students, faculty and staff at Kwantlen Polytechnic Uni-versity’s Trades and Technology campus in Cloverdale held a remembrance vigil last Friday in the atrium to commem-orate the 25th anniversary of the École Polytechnique murders. On Dec. 6, 1989, a mass murder took place at the Montreal post-secondary school when 14 women were killed. The gunman shot them before turning the gun on himself. Kwantlen’s memorial aimed to bring awareness to violence against women while honouring the lives of those lost a quarter of a century ago. Elle Jones, a student in the Public Safety Communications program, read the re-marks and names of the 14 women. Students lit candles for each of the slain women.

By Jennifer LangTh e pitch to parents from Cloverdale Minor Hockey

coach Dave Campbell was persuasive:“Th e holidays are almost here,” it read. “Some of

us will be travelling, skiing, spending time with our families, receiving gift s and enjoying several large meals. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people in our community who are not concerned with what gift to buy, or who will be attending Christmas dinner. Th ese people are concerned about paying the rent, ensuring there is heat and light and wondering if there is going to be enough money in the budget to provide the next meals. Th is is a problem for these families 365 days of the year.”

Campbell had realized a food drive would make a great learning tool and team-building exercise off the ice for the Cloverdale Pee Wee A2s – an opportunity for coaches and players to do something for others without expectation of anything in return.

On a recent weekend, the team fanned out across the community. A couple of hours later, the results were in: the defense/goalie players marginally defeated the

forwards with 371 items to 366, a total of 737 items for the Surrey Food Bank. “It was great to see the team out having some fun as well as seeing them excited to help those who are less fortunate then ourselves,” Campbell said, thanking parents as well for supporting the cause.

Chamber announces new board members

‘Prolifi c thief ’ nabbedA man suspected in a recent spree of vehicle theft s

and residential break-ins in Cloverdale and South Surrey appeared in court last week on 21 charges.

Surrey RCMP announced Dec. 3 that a “prolifi c thief ” was arrested by the Auto Crime and Property Crime Target Team on Nov. 26 in the 9600-block of 192 St., following a brief foot pursuit.

Charges were laid in connection with crimes committed Nov. 24-26, and include fi ve counts of theft under $5,000, four counts of break-and-enter with intent, two counts of willfully resisting or ob-structing a peace offi cer and possession of stolen property under $5,000.

Despite the arrest, police are urging the public to remain vigilant in securing their homes and ve-hicles.

“At this time of year, thieves become bolder knowing that some residents are making larger pur-chases for the holidays,” Cpl. Bert Paquet said in a news release.

“Reduce your chances of becoming a victim by removing all valuables and shopping bags from your vehicle, locking and latching all doors and windows of your home and leaving a light on when you are not at home.”

Surrey resident Curtis Anderson, 22, was sched-uled to appear in Surrey Provincial Court Dec. 4.

CLOVERDALEBUSINESS

IMPROVEMENTASSOCIATION


By Jennifer LangA couple of goofy,

irrepressible characters from the movie Frozen plus various elves, an-gels, and wintry cabins are a few of the subjects featured in a student showcase of artwork in downtown Cloverdale this month.

Senior art students from Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary have painted windows in a prominent setting along historic 176 Street – the spacious windows of Cloverdale Learning Centre.

Th e holiday artwork is part of a new col-laboration between the school’s art department and the Cloverdale BIA, which also has a large window graced by a wintery scene, thanks to students.

Th e Cloverdale BIA is asking shoppers and visitors to check out the artwork, take a picture of their favourite, and then post it to Insta-gram (christmasmasin-

cloverdale) and Twitter, using the hashtag #ChristmasinClover-dale2014.

A random entry will be chosen each week, and the winner will receive a gift certifi cate

from a merchant in the Cloverdale Town Centre.

Instructor Janine Baker said last year students from Lord Tweedsmuir painted six windows in Whalley as part of a call-out to Sur-rey schools to decorate windows for a business improvement project.

Th ere, each business paired with a char-ity, and students were assigned windows to paint, incorporating the charity’s logo or other relevant image into the design.

Th e partnership tied into Whalley’s annual art walk, where people walk the neighbour-hood, viewing windows and donating to the charities – who are there to promote their cause.

Th ere were prizes for best window and for most donations.

While Lord Tweedsmuir didn’t win, Baker wanted to do the project again, but pref-erably something closer to the school.

“I wanted the stu-dents to paint in their own neighbourhood, so they could show them to family,” she said,

adding the project ties into the school’s goal of connecting to the com-munity.

So, she contacted the executive director of the Cloverdale BIA, Paul Orazietti, and together they came up with a plan to paint the windows at the shared Cloverdale BIA and Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce offi ce at 5748 176 Street, as well as the windows of Cloverdale Learning Centre across the street.

Th e plan came together quickly, which didn’t leave enough time to tackle other business storefronts.

“Next year we hope to have a few more win-dows to paint,” she said, describing how the stu-dents gain confi dence and skill demonstrating a unique painting style – and the community is decorated for the holidays for free.

Baker notes the Clo-verdale BIA covered the costs involved, and also made a donation to the school’s art department, “which was greatly ap-preciated.”

Th e students – all seniors – are proud of their work, but they were nervous about working on larger canvasses than the win-dows of their school, Baker added.

The contributing artists are:

Nicole Greenbaum and Elyse Dyck, who painted the Reindeer and Snowman from Frozen; Sean Eng and Megan Benoit, who painted an elf and sleigh with presents; Tayler Sherstone and Xin Jin, who painted a cabin and reindeer; Emily Gullifoyle and Caitlin Murphy, who painted a cabin and reindeer; and Claire McCallum and Sophie Ladd, who did a white reindeer and tree.

Th ere’s also a wreath painted by instructor Janine Baker.

Horsemen in their 80s still winning at Fraser Downs

By Jennifer LangVeteran horseman Ray Gemmill’s deci-

sion to retire this month has put the spot-light on the other trainers at Fraser Downs who are also in their 80s and still active in harness racing this season.

Until last weekend, with Gemmill’s re-tirement party, there were eight octoge-narians working as trainers, a phenom-enon worth remarking on in an industry that can claim only about 100 trainers in British Columbia – many of them decades younger.

Th e departure (See “Racetrack Legend Retires,” page 1) leaves seven men in their 80s plying the sport, and, from the sounds of it, they’re not ready to follow Gemmill’s lead any time soon.

Remarkably, at the fi ne age of 84, Gem-mill isn’t even the eldest of the elder horse-men at Fraser Downs.

Th at title belongs to Leopold LaBalle, 88, who got his fi rst horse at 21 – launch-ing a seven-decade racing career.

LaBalle has owned and raced hundreds of horses over the decades, so he says he’s learned not to get too attached.

He’s still proud, however, of a success that came nearly 35 years ago, in 1980, when a horse bred from his stable became the fi rst champion two-year-old fi lly in the California Sire Stakes.

A love of horses, and a desire to get out of the hose and keep his brain working, has kept B.C. Harness Racing Hall of Famer Bill Young, 87, well, young.

He drove his fi rst horse at 29, aft er a

stint in the Merchant Navy. He also ran a racing stable of dogs, and drove a truck in his home country of England. When Young came to Canada, he worked as a meat cutter – but he gravitated towards harness racing.

Bill and his late wife Marian Young, a B.C. Harness Racing Hall of Famer in her own right for innumerable contributions, and are considered pioneers who helped foster and grow the sport at Fraser Downs.

Vianney Archambault, 86, says harness racing “a reason to get up in the morning.”

Like some of the other men at Fraser Downs who are closing in on 90, racing was initially a sideline.

For him, it was a hobby while he worked in a machine shop.

His favourite horses over the years were Select Freedom, named Quebec Horse of the Year in 1956, and Pam Irish, who won 11 of 12 starts as a two-year-old.

Trainer Dan Ingram, 84, spent an im-pressive 30 years as a fi refi ghter, and got his fi rst horse at age 44. He enjoys working at the track with son Brian.

Like the others in their exclusive set, he recalls his fi rst winner, Gamrun Ginger. Ingram’s best horse, he says, was Gamrun Dart, but his favourite was Gamrun Jake.

At 82, Marcel Bouvier is one of the con-sistent names on the Friday and Sunday race cards at Fraser Downs in the 2014 season.

According to Harness Racing B.C. ex-ecutive director Jackson Wittup, Bouvier maintains one of the largest stables of the

group, while the rest have scaled back to train one or two horses.

Bouvier got his fi rst horse at 25, aft er working in the newspaper industry, and being involved with hockey, including the Brandon (MAN) Wheat Kings, and own-ing a Junior A team in Kenora, ON.

His fi rst winner was Yankee Twister.His best horse, he says, was Night Colt,

the fi rst North American horse to win an invitation to race the Interdominion Stake in Aukland, New Zealand, fi nishing fourth.

Magne Ness, 82, hails from Norway, where he worked as a groom for trotters as a lad, and he bought his fi rst horse when he was just 10 years old. It was a foal who was still inside the broodmare, meaning Ness’s career as a horseman is closing in on seven decades.

He says he’s loved horses all his life, and the aff ection hasn’t dimmed aft er all these years.

For Richard Craig, 80, training Stan-dardbreds is, “something to do.”

It began as a hobby, while he was work-ing his way up to become a superintendent at Saskatchewan Energy.

Craig can easily recall his fi rst winner: Widower Pat, with a time of 2:21.

Craig’s son, Nelson, is a second genera-tion horseman who races at Fraser Downs, underscoring the multigenerational ap-peal of a sport that continues to attract new blood.
