Charges in slayings Mission couple killed in rural home in 2008 Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Charges have been laid in the 2008 murder of Lisa Dudley and Guthrie McKay of Mission. Jack Douglas Woodruff, 52, of Surrey, made his first appearance yesterday in Abbotsford provincial court to face two counts of first-degree murder. He was remanded in custody and next appears Monday by video. Woodruff was arrested after a 31-month investigation by the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). IHIT spokesman Dale Carr said he could reveal few details about the case, including how Woodruff knew the couple, except to say that investigators believe the murder was targeted. “We’re pleased that we can offer both families a little bit of closure, and I’m sure (yesterday brought) a lot of mixed emotions for them,” Carr said. Dudley, 37, and her boyfriend McKay, 33, were found by a neighbour on Sept. 22, 2008 at a rural home in the 31000 block of Greenwood Drive four days after a 911 call was received

First responders could not save Lisa Dudley, who died en route to hospital after a shooting that police say was targeted in 2008. The accused murderer was in Abbotsford provincial court on Friday. that six shots had been fired in the area. McKay was pronounced dead on the scene. Dudley was in severe medical distress and died en route to hospital. Cpl. Mike White was given a

written reprimand and docked one day’s pay in March after an RCMP disciplinary hearing determined that he failed to properly investigate the shotsfired call. He left the scene after being

there for 10 minutes and did not follow up the next day, the board of adjudication concluded. Woodruff ’s criminal history dates back to 1997 and mainly involves stolen property, fraud and stolen credit cars.

Ann Senae (left) and Paulette Baker were recipients of the 2011 Myrtle Evertt Woman of the Year Award on Wednesday night.

Several outstanding women from Abbotsford and Mission were recognized for their professional achievements and personal qualities on Wednesday evening at the annual Myrtle Evertt Woman of the Year Awards in Abbotsford. Presented by the Mission Business and Professional Women’s Club, the event awarded the title of Woman of the Year to Paulette Baker and Ann Senae. Both women received standing ovations. Baker was bestowed the honour for the Abbotsford region. She is a nurse advisor with WorkSafeBC, has completed two overseas missionary trips, raised funds to send

a terminally ill father and his family to Disneyland, and raised money to provide care and support to new immigrant families. “It’s wonderful that we can highlight women who have stepped out to help other women and who volunteer,” said Baker. In her speech, she also touched on why she volunteers – a question she was recently asked. “I simply do it because I do. When I see that people need help, I just roll up my sleeves and do it.” Senae was awarded the title for the Mission area. Senae is a self-employed certified general accountant who has served with many non-profit groups in Mission,

NewsBytes GUILTY OF KIDNAPPING A Mission man has been found guilty of kidnapping and forcible confinement related to an incident in January 2010. Simranjeet Deol, 26, appeared Tuesday in Chiliwack Supreme Court, where he was also found guilty of two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and two counts of careless use of a firearm. Sentencing is scheduled for July 25. A 20-year-old Mission man was dragged from this property on Jan. 24, 2010 and taken to a rural area, where he was assaulted. The man suffered a broken nose and cuts to his face and arms. Three other suspects were wanted, but no one else has been charged.

BEAR SPRAY SENTENCING An Abbotsford man who used bear spray to get away after being nabbed for using a fraudulent gift card last June was sentenced last Friday to 15 days in jail and two years’ probation. Brian Michael Pullin, 30, pleaded guilty to assault with a weapon, fraud and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose on June 2, 2010. He was sentenced in Abbotsford provincial court to five days for each of the charges. He was also found guilty of theft under $5,000, committed on June 14, but was not given jail time on that offence. A warrant was issued for Pullin’s arrest last June after he tried to use a fraudulent gift card at the Real Canadian Superstore gas bar on Gladwin Road. He was nabbed outside by store staff. As four employees were escorting him across the parking lot, he pulled out a can of bear spray and turned it on them before escaping. He was arrested June 25 at a home on Peardonville Road.

including the Valley Women’s Network, the Women’s Resource Society, the Hospice Society, and the Chamber of Commerce. “This is such an honour,” she started, offering thanks to the women who nominated her. “It’s important to have positive role models in the community for everyone ... It’s odd to win an award for something I love to do. I love working with non-profit, love being with my family and watching them grow, love encouraging others to go after their goals, and I love my career.” Senae, who is also a member of a quartet, performed a song with her group at the end of the evening. Deborah Lehmann and Doris Woodman-McMillan were also recognized, having been nominated for the Abbotsford award.

Lehmann is the executive director of the Abbotsford Hospice Society and has a background in human resources. She also serves as a volunteer on the Abbotsford Police Board, the Abbotsford Multicultural Festival, and Restorative Justice and Advocacy Association. Woodman-McMillan is president of Numbers Unlimited, a local bookkeeping business, and has been active with the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce, Operation Red Nose, the Sister City Committee and the Rotary Club. Items for a silent auction were on display throughout the evening. The money raised was awarded to two graduating young women in the form of bursaries. They were given to W.J.

ally. Moore operated last fall under different business names at sites in Delta and Richmond, according to court evidence. Workers and former associates say Moore has continued to operate in recent months at job sites in Surrey and Abbotsford under the name Pro Scan Environmental. The appeal is expected to argue in part that the judge erred because a sole proprietorship business is indistinguishable from Moore operating as himself. Moore quotes low rates to demolish old houses – a fraction of the price charged by competitors who take required safety precautions in dealing with asbestos. He claimed to take samples and get reports certifying buildings asbestos-free before demolition. But according to court evidence, the reports he provided were forgeries on letterhead taken from legitimate labs. Past employees testified they were told to “run” if WorkSafeBC officers showed up. The agency’s efforts have been frustrated in part because Moore has no real assets to seize. Ex-associates say other people drive him around and help him conduct business for a cut of the profits.

“He’s endangering people and he just doesn’t care,” said Rod Ludlow, a Burnaby man who periodically worked for Moore. “He’s got to be stopped.” Ludlow said Moore seemed legitimate at first and initially provided proper masks. “He used to buy them but he was too cheap to buy new filters,” he said. “It started out good but then he started getting cheap and he’d say, ‘No, no. Don’t worry about it.’ “ Workers typically weren’t told if they were handling drywall or other material containing asbestos, he added, and weren’t provided other safety precautions such as showers or suits that are supposed to be taped to gloves and boots. There’s no indication yet how soon the appeal may be heard. Repeated efforts to contact Moore have been unsuccessful. He did not show up in court to defend himself in any of the proceedings over the past year. Deaths from workplace asbestos exposure have been on the rise in B.C. and now account for 44 per cent of all work-related fatalities. Most of asbestos-caused lung disease and cancers are from historic exposure – before the material’s use was restricted – but WorkSafeBC has also intensified a recent crackdown on demolition contractors who don’t follow the rules.

Retiring Abbotsford Principals

Ted Perry

Barry Dudzik

A native of New Westminster, Ted completed his undergraduate degree and teacher training at UBC, and took his first teaching position in Abbotsford at Clearbrook Junior in 1978. Ted fondly remembers his years as a classroom teacher both at CJ and Yale, taking particular joy in teaching Socials Studies, History 12 and Student Government as well as coaching tennis and basketball. Ted completed his Master’s degree at Western Washington in 1984 and began his career as an administrator in 1988 at Yale Secondary. Later, Ted became the Vice-Principal at Abbotsford Junior before assuming the Principalship at Margaret Stenersen Elementary in 1996. Ted closed out his career as the Principal of Dave Kandal Elementary.

After thirty-three years in public school education, thirty-one of those in the Abbotsford School District, Barry Dudzik is retiring. Barry began his teaching career in Abbotsford at Clearbrook Junior Secondary in 1980. In 1987 he transferred to Yale Secondary and taught for five years in the Mathematics Department. In 1992 he joined the administrative team at Yale and provided service as vice principal for five years. In 1997 he became Principal of Philip Sheffield Elementary, a Grade 4 to 7 school. In 2002 he was named Principal of Centennial Park Elementary, a dual track (i.e. French Immersion and English) K-5 school. Two years later he was named Principal of Chief Dan George Middle School, a triple track school, where he has provided leadership for the past seven years.

Ted sought professional challenges throughout his career and was actively involved in curriculum and staff development both in and outside the Abbotsford School District. Very certainly, Ted considers daily encouragement and the development of relationships with students and staff to have been the most rewarding aspects of his career.

QUESTION

OF THE WEEK Do you feel confident that you understand the HST?

HST debate Drop it to 10 per cent and take the $2 billion back from big business through a change in their input tax credits. It’s the tax shift that needs to be corrected.

To answer, go to abbynews.com

IslandMan Panel numbers are quotes as if gospel, but would people be so quick to accept them if they realized that the $1.3 billion cost of the HST to families is net of $1.28 billion of assumed PST savings that business will pass along? The actual amount of tax increase to families is double what the panel published.

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Were you pleased with the results of the federal election?

bmcara

163 RESPONDED:

The HST in general is OK by me, but the kicker is all the additional items and services that were added that were not taxed prior and should not be taxed.

YES: 70% NO: 30%

On Point Writing a Mother’s Day column last week got me thinking about momrelated stories. Like most of us, I have quite a few. Many of those involve the outdoors, as my mother is a great lover of nature, and until fairly recently, a devout walker of mountains. Together we hiked what must have been hundreds of miles of trails, and thanks to her, I developed my own love of the outback. Back in her robust days, ma would venture off by herself, exploring new routes, and backpacking up into the hills for days. And after each jaunt, she’d have stories to tell, and found treasures to show. As to the latter, I have a memory that causes me to grin each time I recall it. I may even have written about it at some point.

It was perhaps about 20 years ago when, during a visit to her house, mom mentioned that she’d been out walking a new logging road in the Chilliwack Valley, or maybe it was the Harrison area. In any event, it was an interesting little jaunt, and one which yielded a useful ﬁnd. And what might that be, I asked. Well, she said she had found a really long piece of very good string. She hadn’t ever seen anything like it, she said. It was orange, and had a coating on it, probably to make it weatherproof. Which was perfect, because she was going to use it to tie up her raspberry plants, she said. Or maybe it could make a good clothesline. Something began to niggle at the back of my mind. I asked to see this weatherproof rope. Sure, she said, leading the way into the carport. And there it was – maybe 100 feet or so of orange cord. Now, the road of life to that point had taken me through various adventures and jobs, one of them being an underground miner for awhile in the Rockies.

We were drilling and blasting our way under a mountain as part of a quarry development. So, I learned all about various types of explosives, and how to use them. Among our repertoire of stuff that went ‘boom’ was detonating cord – plastic-covered yarn containing high explosive, used to set off a series of charges.

In any event, it was an interesting jaunt, and one which yielded a useful find. You know where I’m going with this... Yup, what mom had picked up, carefully coiled together, packed down a mountain, and put in her garage, was essentially a long, thin bomb. The guys building that new logging road had been blasting, and carelessly left a long length of det cord lying around.

Now, this stuff is not particularly sensitive to low-velocity impact. It requires a blasting cap to cook it off. However, had mom actually got around to stringing up her raspberries with her handy-dandy det cord, and say for instance, had lightning hit it … well, instant jam! Or better yet, had Dad’s briefs been clipped to ma’s new “clothesline,” and it went off, those undies would’ve been in orbit! I’m betting he would’ve had something to say about that... Thankfully, those plans never got to the implementation stage. I relieved mom of her interesting ﬁnd, and handed it over to the explosive ordnance disposal lads at the Chilliwack military base, who were highly skeptical that I actually had what I claimed to have. They got serious when I showed them. “You say your mother found this on a mountain, and carried it home?!” Yes sir. Anyway, all’s well that ends well. Mom stopped scavenging orange cord, and I got a great story to tell.

Don’t honour 10-year deal with Heat team not miss the chance to have the arena possibly make money like it was promised before it was built. Our city councillor MacGregor says, “you don’t go forward by looking backward,” (which to me sounds exactly like something Ricky Bobby would say.) Actually, I think you don’t go forward by doing the same stupid things you have already done that didn’t work. Maybe Coun. MacGregor has heard the expression, “don’t throw good money after bad.” I don’t think the Heat will work no matter how many more millions you throw at it, and I don’t want him to wait eight more years to figure that out. I would also like to know where the cost of advertising is in these budgets that the city is putting out? There is likely hundreds of thousands being spent on advertising for the Heat, with big ads in every newspaper, on at least a couple radio stations, on road signs all over town and what looks like one of every six bus benches in the Lower Mainland. Let’s not hide that expense, oh, say in some obscure parks and rec budget.

Recently it’s reported in the Abbotsford News, that our city manager says we intend to honour our 10-year contract with the Abbotsford Heat. This is a multi-million dollar loss, and I for one would like to know why. Why do we intend to honour it? Why do I have to subsidize an AHL hockey team to ensure that the owners make five million dollars in revenue a year? For crying in the sink, tell me why. I for one don’t feel it’s necessary to honour a 10-year contract if a more popular team wanted to come here. I would absolutely jump at the opportunity, not try to shush it up, (obviously somebody does like the Heat). Hockey teams are traded all the time. I feel like I should repeat that, hockey teams are traded all the time. It doesn’t matter if the Calgary owners like the sweet deal – if they aren’t working out, just say good-bye. Should the opportunity arise to have the Manitoba Moose come here, as is heavily rumored, I don’t think it would be very prudent to honour that very sad contract with the Heat.

Flood threat being monitored TRACTORAMA ! ®/MD

Neil CORBETT Abbotsford News

Staff at the River Forecast Centre are watching computer simulations and the thermometer, trying to determine if the Fraser River will flood this year. The Fraser basin overall has a snowpack that is 115 per cent of normal, according to David Campbell, of the B.C. River Forecast Centre. Those are snow conditions experienced one year in 10. The snowpacks in the upper Fraser and Thompson watersheds are the most significant contributors to water

flows in the Fraser Valley, and there the snowpack is not as high, about 105 to 110 per cent of normal. The Mission/ Harrison area has much more snow than normal, over 150 per cent. However, this area is the source of relatively little freshet overall, accounting for only five to eight per cent of the Fraser river flow. “We’re modelling, and keeping an eye on weather conditions,” he said. The Fraser basin is a large geographic area. For flooding to occur, there would have to be

an extended period of hot weather affecting most of the province – for five days or more, followed by a period of intense rainfall. In 2007, there was a major flood threat in the region. Dikes protecting Abbotsford and Mission were raised, and 160 soldiers with the 39 Canadian Brigade Group were stationed in Aldergrove, ready to assist. At that time, the Fraser basin snowpack was 138 per cent of normal. Weather conditions that would cause major flooding did not materialize.

One of three people charged in relation to an alleged puppy mill wants to clarify information published in the Abbotsford News on Tuesday, May 10. Damara English maintains that she and husband Patrick, who was also charged, were not business partners of the third accused, Mel Gerling, but were employees. She also said Gerling did not sell his business to the couple, but gave them his assets in lieu of money owed. Damara said the couple began working for Gerling in late 2009 when he operated Mountain View Kennels in Chilliwack. Damara said she was a bookkeeper, and Patrick was hired to perform general maintenance. In April 2010, Gerling asked the

couple to take over the day-to-day kennel operations. The animals were moved in August 2010 from Chilliwack and were housed at a property in Abbotsford while a new location in Maple Ridge was being prepared. The SPCA seized 14 dogs from the location in Abbotsford in September. The Englishes and Gerling made their first appearance in court last week on charges of causing unnecessary pain/suffering to an animal and causing an animal to continue to be in distress. The SPCA has said they have received repeated complaints about Gerling, and they allege he was running a puppy mill. The dogs seized suffered from a range of health issues, including badly matted fur, eye infections, dental disease and badly overgrown nails, the SPCA has said.

Japanese karate master Yorihisa Uchida does a high jump kick to break boards during his demonstration Tuesday night at Robert Bateman Secondary for the Abbotsford Shotokan Karate Dojo. It marked the end of five days in Abbotsford working with local karate students. He made quick work of various boards in different moves, and finished off by shattering a hardwood baseball bat.

B.C. smokers who want to quit can get 12 weeks worth of nicotine gum or patches starting in September. The program will cover prescription antismoking therapies through PharmaCare. The government estimates it will cost between $15 million and $25 million annually, depending on how many smokers take advantage of it. The B.C. health ministry estimates that 6,000 people die each year from cancer, heart disease and other smoking-related illness. The cost to the B.C. economy is approximately $2.3 billion annually, including $605 million for direct health care costs. Premier Christy Clark said the province also collects $682 million in revenue from tobacco taxes, and some of that should be used to help people break their tobacco addiction.

Giant farm estate crackdown urged

Jeff NAGEL

Black Press

New regulations proposed by Metro Vancouver would block the building of more giant estate houses that eat into

scarce farmland. The region is asking the provincial agriculture ministry to introduce standardized rules to control the placement and size of the residential

footprint of homes in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). While two cities – Delta and Richmond – have local bylaws that impose restrictions, opposition

from property owners has prompted other councils such as Pitt Meadows and Surrey to shelve similar efforts. If the city-by-city patchwork of rules

continues, Metro officials say, people wanting to build manor homes on farmland will flock to cities without bylaws, or look farther east in the Fraser Valley

Marion. 91. sumo contender. Consider the possibilities. And think fresh with us. For a tour, call 604-859-0053 www.hallmarkretirement.com

Regional District. A staff report warns of growing pressure to develop ALR land by property owners who want large houses and yards who may have little or no interest in actually farming the land. A house plunked in the middle of a farm parcel with a long driveway and expansive yard “makes farming more difficult if not impossible,” the report says. Allowing such houses on agricultural land may also attract non-farmers. Once a large estate house is erected, the property becomes prohibitively expensive for many actual farmers. The new estate home owners may also complain about neighbouring farm smells and sounds, the report suggests, hampering farmers on adjacent plots. The province previously signaled its willingness to consider regulations, circulating its own discussion paper on potential options. The limits proposed by Metro Vancouver

would cap an ALR farm’s residential footprint at 5,000 square metres for properties eight hectares or more or 2,000 square metres for smaller parcels. That footprint would have to start no farther than 60 metres from the road or property line, ensuring residential uses are close to the edge of the property and can’t sprawl far into it. The main farm house, any secondary house and any other residential uses – from sheds and workshops to tennis courts and pools – would have to be within the footprint. House sizes would be capped at 500 square metres for the main house on parcels of at least eight hectares (350 square metres for smaller properties) and 250 square metres for an additional house for farm staff (200 square metres for smaller parcels.) The proliferation of farm estate houses has also been flagged by the region as a concern for Metro’s future food security.

Canadian Tire Jumpstarts kids into activity

JOHN VAN PUTTEN The Abbotsford News

THE BIG HEART CHAMPIONS A little rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of the Heart and Stroke Foundation Big Heart Champions, seen here travelling down Gladwin Road for their ride on Thursday evening. This group was the collection of the top fundraisers in Abbotsford, and these individuals raised $36,000. There were six group rides on Wednesday and six more on Thursday, which raised a combined $76,000. That was $30,000 more than last year’s Big Bike rides. The top individual fundraiser in Abbotsford was Phyllis Harms, who brought in $8,900 by herself.

According to a 2010 report from Statistics Canada, the number of overweight children has become a “pandemic” and prevalence rates continue to rise. Organized sport and recreational activities are needed now more than ever to get kids active. Kids who are able to participate in organized sport and recreation, outside of school hours, gain many short- and long-term beneﬁts including: increased self-esteem, greater self-conﬁdence, leadership skills, and better grades. However, some kids aren’t able to access these opportunities because of limited family resources and, in some communities, the programs don’t exist. Canadian Tire Jumpstart

Honey wine celebration Restaurant 62 and Campbell’s Gold Honey Farm are partnering to present the ﬁrst Mead Fest in Abbotsford on Sunday, May 29. The event celebrates the ancient tradition of honey wine-making. A Mead Makers 101 course runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Campbell’s Gold Honey Farm, 2595 Lefeuvre Rd., and features a range of topics.

Mead Makers Delight – a food and wine-tasting event – follows from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Restaurant 62, 2001 McCallum Rd. It features ﬁve different mead wine and food pairings such as Qualicum Beach scallops, Fraser Valley duck breast and dark chocolate mousse. To reserve a spot or for cost information, visit bchoney.com or call 604-855-3545.

is a national charitable program that helps ﬁnancially disadvantaged kids “get in the game” by covering registration, equipment and/or transportation costs. Help kids get active in your community by supporting Jumpstart Day on Saturday, May 28, 2011. For every $1 you donate, Canadian Tire will match it with $2, making the total contribution $3. National in scope, but local in focus, Canadian Tire Jumpstart delivers support to kids through a Canada-wide network of 300 local chapters. One hundred percent of the funds raised will go directly to help ﬁnancially disadvantaged kids. Visit www.canadiantire.ca/ jumpstart to learn more.

a very clean appearance, a rounded form, and great disease resistance. Classified as an everbloomer, it has colour all summer long. ‘Super Hero’ is not overstating this ‘Easy Elegance’ rose which evolved from ‘Rose Hero.’ It’s a good everblooming red with clusters of 2-3 inch hybrid tea shaped blooms that just keep coming all summer long. It grows anywhere from 3-5 feet tall, and its red colour contrasts nicely with its medium to dark satiny foliage which is very disease resistant. Classified as a floribunda, its petal count is an amazing 35-40, which is pretty impressive. ‘Sweet Fragrance’ is a grandiflora with 3-4 inch apricot flowers that just keep coming all summer long. It only grows 2-4 feet tall with its full blooms held high on sturdy stems. It matures to an attractive salmon pink. Initially rated as a zone 5, it is now on trial in zone 4, but with mulching, it should be fine. It’s hard to imagine that there’s one member of this series that outblooms the others but there is one that never quits because it has sterile flowers that produce no hips, therefore it doesn’t know how to quit blooming. ‘Mystic Fairy,’ with its continuous, massive clusters of three-inch red blooms with pink undertones, is a variety that does great all summer in containers on sunny decks. It’s very disease resistant with rich dark green foliage.

Chortyk

Paw Prints Those of us who work in the field of animal protection see many sad, often devastating, cases of animal abuse and neglect every single day. More than 33,000 abused, neglected, injured and homeless animals enter our shelters each year. Each of these animals touches our hearts and there is no greater joy for anyone involved in animal rescue than seeing an animal escape a dangerous and abusive life to find the loving, forever home they deserve. One such example is the case of Moji, a sweet-natured pit bull-whippet cross,

who was taken into SPCA care after constables received a report that he was being abused. Moji had led a terrifying existence with his previous owner – he was regularly beaten, tortured, starved, kicked and burned with a cigarette lighter, all the while kept on a short chain with no means of escape. He was denied urgently needed medical care and had no hope, until a watchful neighbour noticed his plight and called the SPCA. Moji was recovering at an SPCA shelter when a wonderful family came in, asking which dog “needed a home the most.” When they heard Moji’s story, they immediately adopted him and this once-abused dog is now a beloved, happy-go-lucky family pet. Moji’s new family dotes on him and laughs daily at his antics, as he instigates games of hide and seek with his favourite toys and becomes hopelessly tangled in the sheets of their daughter’s bed, where he regularly naps. Fifty times a day, every day of the year, an animal in a BC SPCA branch finds a new, loving home. These beautiful animals are in shelters through no fault of

In Brief HOCKEYFEST COMING UP

Hurdles/triple jump phenom Klippenstein takes an artistic approach to athletics

A major hockey festival is coming to Tradex in October, and an initial schedule of events has been released. The event, known as “HockeyFest . . . Beyond the Pond”, runs Oct. 13-16. Events include a gala dinner benefitting Canuck Place Abbotsford, a series of speakers, an NHL alumni hockey game, and opening and closing ceremonies. The festival will feature over 120,000 square feet of hockey exhibits, and content partners including the Hockey Hall of Fame, the NHL Alumni, the NHLPA’s Goals and Dreams Fund, and The Reach Gallery Museum. “We look forward to showcasing some of our best artifacts outside of the Hockey Hall of Fame across Canada with HockeyFest while meeting some of the world’s greatest fans,” said Phil Pritchard, vice president and curator of the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Plenty of upside for gifted Klippenstein process, so to speak, is somewhat different. For instance, Klippenstein put in copious amounts of time working out during the fall and winter – five nights a week at Abbotsford Recreation Centre under the supervision of Ziggy Szelagowicz, power/speed coach with the Valley Royals track club. The hard work has yielded a marked increase in explosiveness, and early in the spring season, she’s already nearing her personal bests – 11.60m in the triple jump, and 15.19 seconds in the 100m hurdles – that she established at the end of last season.

Szelagowicz is quick to point out Klippenstein hasn’t even peaked yet, and predicts she’ll breeze past those marks as the season progresses. “She’s had some triple jumps where she had a very small fail on the board, that were over 12 metres,” he said. “And in the hurdles, she’s running the (district) high school meets almost by herself, because the second girl is usually five or 10 metres behind her.” In contrast to her athletic pursuits, Klippenstein feels that the nature of artistic inspiration is more mysterious, and the correlation between initial vision, execution, and finished product

Eagles seniors Sadie Ball and Jill Ratzlaff – both 5’10” outside hitters – have committed to join the Bearcats in the fall. Ball was the No. 3-ranked recruit in the province, and her sparkling resumé includes helping the Eagles to gold at the B.C. AAA tournament in 2009, and earning MVP honours along the way. She was a first team all-star at AA provincials in 2010 as MEI finished fifth. Continued on A30

– maybe doing something artsy next year, and still being able to train for track.” Szelagowicz sees a huge athletic upside for Klippenstein, who has only been training seriously with the Royals for two years. The World Junior Championships are in Barcelona next summer, and he believes his star pupil could make a major impact at that event. “She’s very talented, and she hasn’t been doing track as long as other kids,” he pointed out. “She’s so strong, she’s increased her speed this year, and now it’s only a matter of learning technical things.”

You think of something you want, and you try to make it happen.” As graduation approaches, Klippenstein’s goal is to find a post-secondary destination that allows her to develop both of her passions. She’s garnered interest from the track program at Simon Fraser University, and she’s also heard from an arts school in San Francisco. “There’s a lot of stuff I’d like to do, and it’s a challenge to try to combine them,” she said. “But I think there’s ways to do it

Abbotsford News Saturday, May 14, 2011

Abby hoopsters honoured The Basketball B.C. Hall of Fame and Awards Banquet, held last week at the Langley Events Centre, was a special occasion for the Abbotsford basketball community. The hall of fame’s class of 2011 included a pair of locals – Jake Braun and Tom Skerlak. Braun was the longtime head coach of the Mennonite Educational Institute senior boys basketball team, and led the Eagles to a pair of B.C. AAA titles in 1963 and 1970 before moving on to coach the Trinity Western University Spartans. Skerlak, a Welland, Ont. native, played his university basketball at Simon Fraser University, and is a member of the Clan’s 1,000-point club. He

went on to represent Canada internationally, and now works as a teacher at Abbotsford’s Yale Secondary. On the awards front, Jacob Doerksen was named the outstanding male basketball player at a B.C. university for 2010-11. In his fifth and final season of CIS eligibility, the Rick Hansen DOERKSEN S e c o n d a r y grad led Trinity Western to the national championship game, where they fell to the Carleton Ravens. Doerksen was named a first team CIS all-star after finishing third in Canada West in scoring (21.6 points per game),

second in field goal percentage (62.1) and eighth in rebounds (7.8). Two other local players were nominated for Basketball B.C. awards, but came up short. University of the Fraser Valley point guard Tessa Klassen was up for the top B.C. university female prize, but SFU’s Nayo Raincock Ekunwe got the nod. Klassen led the Cascades on a surprising playoff run to the Canada West Final Four and the CIS East Regional. Calgary Dinos forward Matt Letkeman, a Yale Secondary grad, was nominated for the top university male playing outside B.C. award. Letkeman, who won the Canada West men’s basketball rookie of the year prize, lost out to Carleton’s Phil Scrubb.

Solid crop of recruits for Bearcats From A29

Ratzlaff was a member of MEI’s 2009 title team, and earned second team all-star honours at provincials last fall.

Jaclyn Penner, a libero, rounds out the Bearcats’ recruiting class. She was a fourtime medalist at the Manitoba provincial AA championships,

winning two gold, one silver and one bronze with Elton Collegiate of Forrest, Man. “Jill is a versatile player with a lot of upside,” said

Harrison, who was hired as Bearcats head coach last month. “She is very athletic and will solidify our outside hitting and our defence.”

OBITUARIES

EPP Jacob August 16, 1933 ~ May 11, 2011

Jake passed away peacefully into the presence of his Lord, on May 11, 2011, with his family by his side. Jake was born on August 16, 1933 into a family of 16 children in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, to Maria and Henry Epp. In his early years he moved to Abbotsford and, at the age of 19, met the love of his life. In 1954 Olga and Jake were married. In 1957 Douglas Charles was born, followed by Brenda Jayne in 1961. Jake worked with the District of Abbotsford for 29 years, but he was a hobby farmer at heart. He loved nothing more than hanging out with his family. He was predeceased by his mother and father and brothers, Pete, Ben and Herman. Jake fought a courageous battle with diabetes for 34 years. He will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by his loving wife, Olga, to whom he was married for 57 years, his son Doug (Adele), daughter Brenda, grandchildren Derrick and Lindsay, brothers, sisters, brothers-inlaw, sisters-in-law, nephews, nieces, and friends. We were all blessed by the lessons he taught us through the grace and dignity with which he lived his life. A celebration of Jake’s life is planned for Monday, May 16, 2011, at 1:00 p.m. at South Abbotsford Mennonite Brethren Church, 32424 Huntingdon Road, Abbotsford. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations would be gratefully accepted to the Canadian Diabetes Association.
