New council takes helm

Oh what a night

PHOTOS BY BOAZ JOSEPH / BLACK PRESS

Thousands turned out for the 9th annual Surrey’s Santa Parade of Lights Sunday (Dec. 7) in Cloverdale, including volunteers from the B.C. Vintage Truck Museum (clockwise from top left), decorated big rigs, camera-wielding spectator Adi Peter, 7, and members of Cloverdale Minor Fastpitch. The event is presented by the Cloverdale BIA and Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, along with sponsors.

By Kevin Diakiw Looking confident and surefooted, newly minted Mayor Linda Hepner laid out her priorities on Monday night as she and her Surrey First team were sworn into office. 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 outgoing mayor Dianne Watts for her three terms. Watts is now planning to run federally for the Conservatives in South Surrey-White Rock. “Dianne Watts never met a good idea she didn’t like,” Hepner said, adding she looks forward to working with Watts when she is in Ottawa. “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 first 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 officers next year. “We will place an emphasis on neighbourhood policing,” Hepner said. “You will see front-line officers build relationships with residents and business owners and become more engrained in the very fabric of our neighbourhoods.” She will create a business advisory council to accelerate growth in the private sector. She also wants to make Surrey one of the nation’s most “agefriendly” cities, starting with a seniors’ summit in 2015. She will create a “social innovation strategy” bringing together the best minds in strengthening the city’s social safety net. Hepner became emotional when See BUSY FOUR YEARS / Page 6

Racetrack legend retires At 84, Ray Gemmill hangs up his stable colours at Fraser Downs By Jennifer Lang Veteran driver, owner and trainer Ray Gemmill, a legend of the Cloverdale Raceway, is calling it a day, stepping away from a career in harness racing that spans six decades. On Sunday (Dec. 7) after 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 underway 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 first winner – a horse named Guy Dominion 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 Standardbred Canada in 2010 about the group of NHLers.

“Those 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 reputation as a respected and wellliked horseman. Gemmill once told horse racing columnist and former jockey Tom Wolski he realized he wasn’t going to be a superstar, but, “I made a living. I was a better trainer See GEMMILL / Page 3

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 first, according to Harness Racing B.C. executive director Jackson Wittup, who says Gemmill bought his first 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 drawing 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. There’s Bill Young, 87, Marcel Bouvier, 82, Dan Ingram, 84, Leo LaBalle, 88, Vianney Archambault, 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 afternoons during the season. The lure of the next big win might explain their commitment; on Nov. 28, one of Ingram’s horses won a race. And, two weeks earlier, horses trained by Bouvier (Secret Identity) and Young (Lisvinnie) had wins. When asked what has contributed to their longevity in the sport, Wittup, who helms the association that represents owners, trainers, drivers and breeders, said they’d all told him, “‘The passion of the horse’ had kept them in the game so long. These particular eight also indicated that they needed a reason to get off the couch and to keep their minds active.” Then there’s the breed. “The Standardbred horse in general is so easy to work with, so I’m sure that makes a big difference.” Wittup suspects the cold weather is the biggest reason behind Gemmill’s retirement this December. “I think he would have hung in there a little longer if we raced in the summer.”

Kaya, 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-profit society’s first such Christmas fundraiser on Dec. 6.

Horse races for Surrey Food Bank Here’s a great reason to put your money on Buddy’s Hope this month at Fraser Downs. His owner and trainer, Daniel Gaboury, has offered 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 fill those shelves going into the New Year,” he said.

Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino and Harness Racing B.C. will both match Gaboury’s offer, and Jackson Wittup, executive director of Harness Racing B.C., will donate $50 for each of Buddy’s wins. “Daniel has always contributed to various fundraisers in the backstretch at different racetracks where he has raced, and wanted to do something for the community this year,” Wittup said. Buddy’s Hope came in 4th in the 10th race Sunday afternoon (Dec. 7), contributing $ 1,596 to the cause.

Christy Clark on climate, clawbacks and credit cards A year-end interview with Premier Christy Clark.

PCC: We’re still in negotiations with Petronas 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 after this interview, Petronas announced 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 powered 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 liquefied natural gas to Asia, we help them get off coal and other dirtier sources of oil, and that is the biggest contribution that

Students, faculty and staff at Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Trades and Technology campus in Cloverdale held a remembrance vigil last Friday in the atrium to commemorate 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 remarks and names of the 14 women. Students lit candles for each of the slain women.

Players bond over food drive We’ll help you get Christmas...

Gifts

By Jennifer Lang The pitch to parents from Cloverdale Minor Hockey coach Dave Campbell was persuasive: “The holidays are almost here,” it read. “Some of us will be travelling, skiing, spending time with our families, receiving gifts 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. These 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. This 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.

ThankYou

A man suspected in a recent spree of vehicle thefts and residential break-ins in Cloverdale and South Surrey appeared in court last week on 21 charges. Surrey RCMP announced Dec. 3 that a â&#x20AC;&#x153;prolific thief â&#x20AC;? 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 five counts of theft under $5,000, four counts of break-and-enter with intent, two counts of willfully resisting or obstructing a peace officer and possession of stolen property under $5,000. Despite the arrest, police are urging the public to remain vigilant in securing their homes and vehicles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this time of year, thieves become bolder knowing that some residents are making larger purchases for the holidays,â&#x20AC;? Cpl. Bert Paquet said in a news release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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.â&#x20AC;? Surrey resident Curtis Anderson, 22, was scheduled to appear in Surrey Provincial Court Dec. 4.

iFund Christmas

By Jennifer Lang A couple of goofy, irrepressible characters from the movie Frozen plus various elves, angels, 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the spacious windows of Cloverdale Learning Centre. The holiday artwork is part of a new collaboration between the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art department and the Cloverdale BIA, which also has a large window graced by a wintery scene, thanks to students. The Cloverdale BIA is asking shoppers and visitors to check out the artwork, take a picture of their favourite, and then post it to Instagram (christmasmasin-

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 Surrey schools to decorate windows for a business improvement project. There, each business paired with a charity, and students were assigned windows to paint, incorporating the charityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logo or other relevant image into the design. The partnership tied into Whalleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual art walk, where people walk the neighbourhood, viewing windows and donating to the charities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who are there to promote their cause. There were prizes for best window and for most donations. While Lord Tweedsmuir didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win, Baker wanted to do the project again, but preferably something closer to the school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted the students to paint in their own neighbourhood, so they could show them to family,â&#x20AC;? she said,

adding the project ties into the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal of connecting to the community. 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 office at 5748 176 Street, as well as the windows of Cloverdale Learning Centre across the street. The plan came together quickly, which didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave enough time to tackle other business storefronts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Next year we hope to have a few more windows to paint,â&#x20AC;? she said, describing how the students gain confidence and skill demonstrating a unique painting style â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the community is decorated for the holidays for free. Baker notes the Cloverdale BIA covered the costs involved, and also made a donation to the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art department, â&#x20AC;&#x153;which was greatly appreciated.â&#x20AC;? The students â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all seniors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are proud of their work, but they were nervous about working on larger canvasses than the windows of their school, Baker added. Â

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. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a wreath painted by instructor Janine Baker.

Horsemen in their 80s still winning at Fraser Downs 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 impressive 30 years as a firefighter, and got his first horse at age 44. He enjoys working at the track with son Brian. Like the others in their exclusive set, he recalls his first 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 consistent names on the Friday and Sunday race cards at Fraser Downs in the 2014 season. According to Harness Racing B.C. executive director Jackson Wittup, Bouvier maintains one of the largest stables of the

Raise

group, while the rest have scaled back to train one or two horses. Bouvier got his first horse at 25, after working in the newspaper industry, and being involved with hockey, including the Brandon (MAN) Wheat Kings, and owning a Junior A team in Kenora, ON. His first winner was Yankee Twister. His best horse, he says, was Night Colt, the first North American horse to win an invitation to race the Interdominion Stake in Aukland, New Zealand, finishing fourth. Magne Ness, 82, hails from Norway, where he worked as a groom for trotters as a lad, and he bought his first 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 affection hasn’t dimmed after all these years. For Richard Craig, 80, training Standardbreds is, “something to do.” It began as a hobby, while he was working his way up to become a superintendent at Saskatchewan Energy. Craig can easily recall his first winner: Widower Pat, with a time of 2:21. Craig’s son, Nelson, is a second generation horseman who races at Fraser Downs, underscoring the multigenerational appeal of a sport that continues to attract new blood.

By Jennifer Lang Veteran horseman Ray Gemmill’s decision to retire this month has put the spotlight 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 retirement party, there were eight octogenarians working as trainers, a phenomenon worth remarking on in an industry that can claim only about 100 trainers in British Columbia – many of them decades younger. The 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 fine age of 84, Gemmill isn’t even the eldest of the elder horsemen at Fraser Downs. That title belongs to Leopold LaBalle, 88, who got his first horse at 21 – launching 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 first champion two-year-old filly 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 first horse at 29, after a
