As many as 3,500 people took part in Sunday’s Run for Water at Abbotsford’s Mill Lake Park, where Claire Apostolopolous (above) performed CPR on a male volunteer who collapsed.

Const. Ian MacDonald said James Douglas Campbell has been the subject of two public warnings by police and that the APD is taking his flight extremely seriously. “He’s our first priority,” said MacDonald. “We issued two notifications when we knew where Campbell was [located]. With somebody that has his track record, it’s foolhardy to suggest that the probability for him to re-offend is not on our minds now [that] we don’t know where he is.” Investigators believe Campbell probably intended to disappear for the weekend without being caught. see OFFENDER, page A11

hannon Thiesen was an artist without inspiration. A portrait painter by nature, she had just about ran out of ideas on whose face to capture next on canvas; then she tuned on the TV to the Vancouver Canucks Stanley Cup run, and voila!

“I would love to have a group shot when they win the Stanley Cup, which they will.” – Shannon Thiesen artist

Much like the thousands of Canucks fans in the Lower Mainland, B.C., Canada and throughout the world, she quickly found that long lost inspiration in the faces of players like Alex Burrows, Ryan Kesler and Roberto Luongo. Each work was done after that player had a good game. A portrait of the Sedin twins, Daniel and Henrik, is currently underway, and she has her sights set on one of Kevin Bieksa. Since an exhilarating seven-game series win over the Chicago Blackhawks, Thiesen has captured the intense emotion of the playoffs, all with just paint, a brush, a blank canvas, talent and devotion. “I like to find people who have a lot of passion in their face,” she said. “I usually stick with celebrities. But with these guys . . . if you watch Luongo during the anthem sing-

Canuck Kevin Bieksa is next on her list. ings or before the game, he’s always pacing back and forth. “He’s got that real intensity in his face. That’s what I want to paint.” Originally from Powell River on B.C.’s Sunshine Coast, Thiesen began her life as an artist when she was three years old – “colouring outside the lines,” as she put it. Her aunt and uncle enrolled her in a life-drawing course when she was 15. There she was able to paint portraits of models, honing her craft that has since landed the now 29year-old at the University of the Fraser Valley. A rather tempered Canucks fan

The Abbotsford Police Department, while commending fan behaviour during these playoffs, has made it clear that from a public safety standpoint it would pre-

fer to have a centralized site for Canucks’ celebrations. Having a celebration zone at the AESC may also drop policing costs associated with the Stanley Cup series, said Peary. The APD spends approximately $7,000-plus, mostly in overtime, to have officers monitor fans and traffic along South Fraser Way after each big win. Vancouver will face the storied Boston Bruins in this year’s final.

growing up, it was in 2007 – the year she moved to Abbotsford – when she fell hard for the team. That love has carried on since, through times of back-to-back playoff eliminations against Chicago and the 2007/08 season, when the Canucks didn’t even make it to the post-season. It’s peaking right now, as the Canucks began the Stanley Cup final on Wednesday night for just the third time in the team’s often frustrating 40-year history. “There’s a different vibe, there’s a different spirit about it,” she said. “It’s more exciting being so close to Vancouver, and Abbotsford definitely

has a lot of fans. I’m feeding off that excitement around town. “If you go into downtown [Abbotsford] after a win, everyone’s honking and it’s just so much fun.” On the ice, the Canucks have so far laid the foundation for a historical masterpiece of their own in these playoffs.They are four wins away from capturing this franchise’s first ever Stanley Cup, and Thiesen has a good idea of what that picture will look like if indeed her dreams – and that of Canucks fans everywhere – come true this spring. “I would love to have a group shot when they win the Stanley Cup, which they will.”

HST debate heats up ahead of Friday’s forum

ROCHELLE BAKER RBaker@abbotsfordtimes.com

he provincial government’s recent changes to the HST and promise to cut its rate to 10 per cent down from 12 over two years is a big boost to families and seniors, says Abbotsford-South MLA John van Dongen. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon announced last week that the harmonized sales tax would drop by one percentage point on July 1, 2012, and then down to 10 per cent on July 1, 2014, after the next provincial election. In addition to dropping the HST rate, Falcon promised a series of rebates as well as a hike on corporate tax rates — assuming voters pass the tax in a provincial mail-in referendum that starts June 13. Families with children under 18 will receive one-time payments of $175 per child as will low -and modest-income seniors with a family income of $40,000 or less. Pre-existing HST rebates for low-income British Columbians will remain in effect, said Falcon. “I think the changes will make the HST much more attractive to taxpayers,” said van Dongen. The changes mean the average B.C. family will go from paying about $350 more tax each year to coming out ahead by about $120 compared to the old GST/PST system, he said. To help cover the cost of the HST drop — expected to result in a revenue loss of $850 million per percentage point — and achieve a balanced budget by 2013/14, the Liberals have opted to increase the general corporate income tax rate from 10 per cent to 12 per cent on Jan. 1, 2012, and postpone a planned 2.5 per cent small business tax cut that had been scheduled for April 1, 2012.

Executive director of Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce, David D. Hull, said the business community saw the tax hikes and delay to tax cuts as a “necessary compromise.” “It’s a reasonable trade-off and far better compromise than going back to the antiquated and inefficient PST/GST system,” Hull said. NDP leader Adrian Dix and Fight-HST leader Bill Vander Zalm panned the B.C. government’s harmonized sales tax changes Wednesday, respectively calling the proposals a “grab bag of gimmicks” and “absolutely stupid.” “It’s crazy, for one thing,” said Vander Zalm, a former Social Credit premier. “But in a way, I’m a little pleased, too, because they’ve admitted that the HST is a no-go, they’ve admitted people were being overcharged, they’ve admitted that there is no job creation . . . and they’ve admitted it’s a disaster.” Van Dongen dismissed the criticisms, saying the HST changes are the result of extensive consultation with the public. “Critics like to have it both ways. They accuse government of not listening, then when government undertakes one of the largest exercises [to do that], we get accused of buying votes,” he said. Van Dongen said residents should take all opportunities to obtain information on the HST to make an informed decision. A moderated HST forum is scheduled from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, June 3 at the University of the Fraser Valley, 33844 King Road. A UFV moderator will MC the event in a non-partisan way. Registration is not required. For more information visit www.hstpublicforums.ca.

Monday–Friday, 24 hours Stave Falls Spillway Gates Reliability Project and Completion of Gantry Crane Installation The Stave Falls Spillway Gates Reliability Project has begun. The project involves the replacement of the four existing radial spillway gates and the existing radial gate hoists. To operate the gates, BC Hydro installed a new crane in 2010. This crane is required to lift and lower the gates and is moved into position on a rail that is embedded in the roadway. BC Hydro will be replacing these rails starting mid-June, 2011. A one lane closure of Dewdney Trunk Road for six to eight weeks is required to complete this work. Priority access will be given to emergency vehicles and the school bus. Periodic road closures of Dewdney Trunk Road will continue to be required over the next two years to facilitate the replacement of the spillway gates. In general, these will be short-term (10–15 minutes) or single lane closures. To install the new gates, a full road closure of approximately three days will be required four times during the two-year project. Loop Trail will be closed over Blind Slough Dam during construction. BC Hydro will re-open road and pedestrian access over the dam when construction schedules allow (e.g. primarily evenings and weekends).

A pilot project to park trucks overnight on specific streets in industrial areas is being planned – as is developing a policy to park commercial trucks without trailers at homes owned and occupied by the operator, with a permit from the city and agreement from neighbours. At previous public meetings on the issue, residents complained about noise, dirt, road damage and environmental concerns around oil changes and coolant running into storm drains. Truck owners cited lack of any other options, and poor security at highway sites at Whatcom Road and Sumas Way. A truck in a driveway wasn’t any different than an RV, they noted. The public meeting around the truck parking policy is set for Tuesday, May 31 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Abbotsford Exhibition Park Ag-Rec Gallery, 32470 Haida Dr., Abbotsford.

he City of Abbotsford is rolling out a draft plan to resolve conflict over truck parking in residential areas. In an effort to get public input around the policy, the city is holding an open house to review recommendations tonight. The proposal is the result of the mayor’s task force to develop a solution that addresses the need for parking in affordable and environmentally sustainable ways, but doesn’t compromise residents’ expectations around noise and traffic safety. Mayor George Peary said it’s important to find a resolution to the hot button issue. “People don’t want big trucks parked in residential neighbourhoods, we fully understand that,” said Peary. “But most of what we consume comes to us on rubber tires, and the trucks need a place to sleep at night.” Peary noted the trucking industry is economically significant both locally and province-wide. There were approximately 3,700 insured commercial vehicles in Abbotsford in 2008, according to ICBC figures. Despite the need to come up with some solutions, the city won’t be establishing its own parking sites, said Peary. “The city is not going to get into the parking business . . . it’s a problem best solved by the private sector.” The policy plan suggests the city fast tracks development applications for new or expanded truck parking lots on industrial or commercial sites. However, no sites will be allowed on locations in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). Commercial truck parking at the various gravel pits in the community will

APD lands its first rocket launcher

he Abbotsford Police Department has handled a lot of weapons over the years, but obtaining a functional rocket launcher tops the list. Const. Ian MacDonald said that the ’70s-era launcher handed to the APD last week was part of a collection of military memorabilia. After the collector died, family members asked the APD to take some weapons, including the launcher and

said MacDonald. “It’s fairly common for the family of someone who passes away to ask [police] to take care of firearms they are not comfortable keeping.”

While taking and disposing of weapons is nothing new in law enforcement, getting their hands on a rocket launcher is something novel for police, said MacDonald. “It’s the first time anyone’s brought one in,” he said. “The officer [responsible] did what anyone else would do. He walked around the office with a big smile on his face saying, ‘Look! I’ve got a rocket launcher!’” MacDonald said the APD is considering using the weapon for educational purposes as it is such a rare find.

◗ Opinion

The killer volcano finally speaks S

top me if this sounds familiar: a volcano in Iceland is erupting, sending vast plumes of ash into the skies over Europe, disrupting air travel. This time it’s not the confoundingly named Eyjafjallajokull, it’s Grimsvotn. We here at Painful Truth Industries Ltd. decided to get to the bottom of this latest incident, by interviewing the volcano itself. PT: So, Grimsvotn, your most recent eruption began not long ago and you busily pumped out an ash cloud for several days. Any plans to quit any time soon? GV: I really don’t have any plans that are (if you’ll forgive the pun) set in stone. No, I just like to keep things loose. Go with the pyroclastic flow, that’s what I say. PT: So you have no idea how long air travel will be disrupted? GV: You know, I’m glad you brought that up. Everyone’s been getting on my case lately about that. Do I make the prevailing winds? No. Do I have any say in how you little carbon blobs travel around, in your little tin tubes with wings? Take it up with Boeing and Bombardier if your flying machines can’t take a little bit of grit in their turbines. PT: So you aren’t at fault, is that what you’re saying? GV: No! I’m a volcano, it’s in my nature to erupt! Frankly,

MATTHEW CLAXTON

the painful truth I’m tired of all this mammal whining from you humans. You know, I have a friend who’s gone through something very similar recently… PT: Eyjafjallajokull? GV: Yeah, Eyja. We’ve had a long talk about this. I don’t think he’d mind me telling you, he was deeply depressed after his eruption last year. It took him a while to get over it. PT: Was he upset about all the financial problems he caused, or the criticism he received? GV: Neither. He was upset that he couldn’t keep it up longer. We’re getting old, man. I mean, it wasn’t that long ago that I erupted for three years! Me and my buddies wiped out 20 per cent of the population here in Iceland in the 1780s. We killed people as far away as England! That’s major league. That’s Krakatoa-style erupting. PT: I see… So you don’t think you’ll be able to do something on that scale again? GV: I don’t know. It seems to get harder every year, you know? I mean, my forefathers are all part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. They shaped the

world, pushed Europe and North America apart, then South America and Europe. Without them, there’d be no Atlantic Ocean, and you’d be able to drive from Newfoundland to Dublin. Heck, if we hadn’t pushed things apart just enough, that big comet might have hit a mountain instead of slamming into the ocean 65 million years ago, and the dinos might have survived. Really, you puny mammals might just owe your very existence to my continent-splitting ancestors. PT: So once the current eruption is over, what is next for you and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge? GV: Well, I was thinking that Eyja and I might try to collaborate, you know, a kind of duet in flying molten glass. PT: I’ll warn the FAA. GV: Yeah, and then after that, something really big. I’m talking to a lot of volcanoes, not just my Mid-Atlantic bros. Mt. Etna, if you read this, give me a buzz, okay? Anyway, we were thinking of erupting all at once, lots of glowy orange lava, so we can spell something visible from space. PT: Spell what? GV: Either “Zeppelin Rulez!” or “LOL.” We’re still working on the details. ■ Visit Matthew Claxton’s blog,

sn’t there a law against bribery? Apparently not when it’s a political exercise aimed at covering up blunders. B.C.’s government has announced that the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) will be cut by two percentage points, from 12 per cent down to 10 per cent, by July 1, 2014. . . If B.C. voters agree not to discard the controversial – and highly unpopular – tax in the upcoming mail-in referendum… If the current government is still in power by the time July 1, 2014, rolls around… And if the government doesn’t decide it can’t afford to cut its tax base and postpones the reduction until better economic times. Let’s face it, we’re having an HST (many would call it an “anti-HST”) referendum next month precisely because the folks making the decisions in Victoria can’t be trusted to be honest with us about their intentions. It’s plain our government was less than honest with us about the HST at the outset. Plans to implement the tax were hidden from public view, when they weren’t masked by outright lies. That dishonesty is why Christy Clark is premier of B.C., instead of Gordon Campbell. And that dishonesty is the chief underpinning for opposition to the HST. What happens if the HST is killed? How do we repay the federal government’s $1.6 billion bribe to implement the HST? Unfortunately, the current government’s attempt at bribery will only put up a smokescreen around the issue of whether or not the HST should be abandoned in the June 13 referendum (actually more like a mail-in survey). It will remind voters of the dishonesty that brought us the tax in the first place, instead of helping us focus on the real pros and cons of keeping or discarding the HST.

Consider kids when discussing gay rights Editor, the Times:

Whenever I visit my hometown of Abbotsford, I curiously open the opinion section of the newspaper to get a sense of the city’s heartbeat, especially as it relates to issues of sexuality. With absolutely no surprise, I found Richard Peachey’s letter (Times, May 26) responding to education being vital in the homophobia debate. With a list of talking points memorized by many Christian anti-gay parrots, there’s nothing new to add to the debate, which only still exists in places like Abbotsford. I appreciate the effort to pipe up, but if you are going to participate in a discussion about the importance of emphasizing education in the homophobia debate, and if you are going to agree that education around it is important, I think I will need to see some credentials (ie. what exactly has he read on the topic? Only religious sources?). Peachey agreed that “thoughtful, two-way education” is more important than the bouncing back and forth of activist monologues – much like his own – in moving forward. I agree. I also think the debate should be had honestly and privately, or with friends/family, before taking it to the public square. This “two-way education” is so important on an individual level; everyone needs to read the Bible and a medical journal, a rogue piece in the National Post about the destructive ability of gay sex and an article from a publication that isn’t Canada’s “Fox News” newspaper. Maybe meet a gay person and try to get to know them. Any serious debater on the issue of LGBT rights should immediately have their participation questioned if they had to use the following sentence to defend and/or clarify themselves: “In my view, these people are indeed human beings. . .” Finally, if this is the same Richard Peachey who is a high school science teacher who writes for Creation Magazine (Genesis), I’d kindly ask that you keep the baseless and factless views you have on homosexuality to yourself, as you could actually really hurt some of those kids. Suicide is a real threat to young gay kids, and the only reason the threat exists is because of how you and your friends see

them as inherently broken. Matthew David Victoria

Homophobia is not a clinical condition Editor, the Times:

Ironically, the three attacks you printed in Tuesday’s Times against the very legitimate points made by Richard Peachey in his recent letter only serve to illustrate the points he made. Homophobia as a word may well have existed for 40 years, but as one of the writers admitted, the meaning is inaccurate. The fact is, there is no such clinical condition as homophobia, as the term suggests. It is just another example of the intolerant name-calling which typifies the attitude that members and supporters of the Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender (LGBT) community have towards those who hold opinions opposed to theirs. In light of the hatred, intolerance, even violence generated by these people, it’s amazing how much support they receive from the media. Jack Ellis Abbotsford

Mission made the right water move Editor, the Times:

Open letter to Mayor James Atebe and Mission Council: I want to congratulate you on taking a stand against the P3 Water project endorsed by Abbotsford. You have made the right choice in my view. Please do not allow George Peary’s bluster and professed anger affect your judgement. I, for one, deeply resent the suggestion attributed to Peary that the opposition to this project comes from within the “labour movement.” I live on a disability pension and am very much in favour of the private sector in many, many areas. Some things, however, do not belong in private hands. Water is one of those things. This project was a very bad one from the perspective of Mission’s citizens – and those of Abbotsford – both current and future. I firmly believe that keeping water supplies to our city and district public is the only viable option now and in the long term. However well intentioned the private

company involved in this proposed venture may be, or appear to be today, there is no way of knowing how they will behave in the years to come, as their management will inevitably change.

Why doesn’t Mission have a great mall? Editor, the Times:

Having a little time before a doctor’s appointment in Coquitlam recently I visited the Lougheed Mall. I have shopped there in the past and found it clean, bright and cheery. As I drove home I pondered. Abbotsford has a mall. Langley has a mall. Coquitlam and Burnaby have malls. What is wrong with Mission? Look around us in this community. Where do we shop? Not in Mission. There are a few stores here but for diversity you have to drive to another city. I have written letters to this editor before and still there is no answer. Why do we not have sufficient shopping in Mission? Small little strip malls just don’t cut it. Main Street is a drag strip, speeding cars jockeying for position between lumber trucks and delivery vans. Parking is almost non existent. And pedestrians take their lives in their own hands trying to cross the streets. This is a beautiful community that is growing leaps and bounds. New families, new subdivisions and no shopping. I know some are worried about the urban sprawl. But get real. This is nothing but a glorified bedroom community. It would be wonderful to be able to drive downtown to a shopping area instead of driving over the bridge to Abbotsford or down the highway to Maple Ridge. I think it is time Mission council get moving forward with the building of the waterfront area. This is nothing but wasted space. A great shopping pier and floating restaurant will have people travelling here to

enjoy the view and stay to shop, and put money in Mission instead of elsewhere. Sharon Anderson Mission

Waste to Energy plant the wrong way to go Editor, the Times:

I understand that the

BC Minister of Environment, Terry Lake, will soon announce his decision on whether or not to allow a Waste To Energy (WTE) plant to be built either here on the Lower Mainland, or at a Gold River or Campbell River location. No matter where such a plant might be located people and animals somewhere will have to inhale the minute but extremely toxic and uncapturable airborne particulates. Not only that but these WTE facilities essentially burn or gasify recyclable materials and turn them into solid toxic and hazardous

wastes, namely flyash and bottom ash. It has been scientifically proven that these ashes cannot be made into or used for anything else. No matter how any spin doctor might try to convince us otherwise, these ashes are what they are, forever. Let us pray that our new environment minister makes the wise choice and says ‘no’ to WTE, otherwise who knows how many deaths and/or permanent disabilities may eventually be on his hands?

THE TIMES TUESDAY, MAY 31, 2011

‘Manipulative, exploitive and unrestrained’ OFFENDER, from page A1 Police have some idea of where Campbell was originally headed, but do not want to raise alarm in communities that he may have already left, said MacDonald. Given his personality, Campbell is likely to gravitate to people, but most likely those who do not like to be in the media spotlight or the subject of police attention, he added. The APD issued a public warning around James Douglas Campbell, 60, prior to his release from jail on May 11. Campbell was required to live at the Abbotsford home of his 91-year-old wife after having served two-thirds of his sentence and receiving an automatic legislated release. The first police warning around Campbell was issued last May when he was granted unsupervised family visits in Abbotsford. Campbell, a diagnosed pedophile, was serving a 24-year sentence for five sexual assaults, forcible confinement and possession of a prohibited weapon. He has more than 60 criminal convictions dating back to 1967, including the sexual assaults of several young girls, aged five to 12, and one seven-year-old girl who was abducted while she was walking to school. Just recently, Campbell was denied any further unescorted temporary absences (UTAs) for visits at a Jan. 27 parole board hearing because he breached one of his conditions. Campbell was originally granted three 12hour day trips a month in May, with the possibility of extending the period of time for each pass in the future, but a parole officer had noticed the odour of alcohol on Campbell’s breath in September. Campbell previously breached parole in 2004 while staying at a halfway house in Abbotsford. He escaped to Falkland before being arrest-

ed by the RCMP. During his recent release Campbell was not permitted to leave Abbotsford without seeking permission from his parole officer. Nor is he allowed contact with any person under the age of 16 without adult supervision, attend any area frequented by children, or to consume drugs or alcohol. Offenders like Campbell who have served two-thirds of their sentence, can only be denied statutory release if they are deemed likely to commit serious harm or death to someone prior to the end of their term. Parole Board documents dated January 13, 2010 state Campbell has been “characterized as manipulative, callously exploitive and unrestrained by previous incarcerations” and that substance abuse elevates his risk to the public. However, the documents also noted that Campbell had successfully managed UTAs, previous to the one resulting in their suspension, despite being the “subject of significant negative publicity and public outrage” since his unsupervised visits were approved. His unsupervised visits to his wife’s home previous to his release sparked protests by neighbours, according to probation documents. Campbell told the parole board that once out of jail he planned to do home repairs and attend university. Campbell is five-foot-nine, weighs 161 pounds, is balding with grey hair, and has blue eyes and wears glasses. Anyone who observes Campbell should contact their local police immediately and not approach him. ◗ Anyone with information about Campbell’s whereabouts should contact the Abbotsford Police Major Crime Unit at 604-859-5225 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

■ Eat your meals alfresco Make this a summer of picnics and discover some parks you’ve never visited. Both Abbotsford and Mission have lovely getaways, in urban and rural areas. Neilson Park is a little-known jewel and swimming spot on the west side of Hatzic Lake, while Central Park in Mission offers tennis courts for a pre-meal workout. Abbotsford’s Hougen Park offers many picnicking possibilities among the willow trees that line the winding Sumas River. ■ Mill Lake water park and pool Features a new multi-million dollar outdoor facility for the entire family to enjoy. Located at the west end of Mill Lake in central Abbotsford, just minutes from the city’s historic downtown core, the water park is a great way for families to cool off and relax together. There is ample parking, for all vehicles, including RVs, and a variety of refreshment carts offer food and drink of all kinds, from ice cream to grilled hotdogs and hamburgers. ■ Abbotsford Farm & Country Market Fresh fruit, berries, pies and corn are just the tip of the iceberg at the Abbotsford Farm

■ Take a breather Mission is home to the Westminster Abbey and the Seminary of Christ the King, operated by Benedictine monks at their serene hilltop location since 1954. The site is open to the public, with easy strolls or more energetic walks through the forest, and a spectacular view of the valley. The monks just ask visitors to respect their privacy. The abbey is at 34224 Dewdney Trunk Rd., Mission. See also www. sck.ca. ■ Book browsing Books and summer just naturally go together.

Mangat wins pro debut by tap out

Abbotsford’s Peter Wauthy goes from college hoops to medicine CAM TUCKER camtuckertimes@gmail.com

e t e r Wa u t h y o f Abbotsford has held many distinguished titles over his lifetime. There was a Canadian Colleges Athletics Association national championship in 2002 when Wauthy played for the University College of the Fraser Valley men’s basketball team. In 2003, he was named CCAA Male Basketball Player of the Year, Basketball BC Male College Player of the Year and Academic All Canadian for 2002/03. He then moved on the following season to play at the University of British Columbia, co-captaining the Thunderbirds in 2004/05 and going to a national championship tournament in 2004. There were more. And you can now add doctor to that list. Wauthy, 28, officially graduated from medical school at the UBC on May 24. “I wanted to be in a field where I could help people,”

CAM TUCKER camtuckertimes@gmail.com

said Wauthy. “It was really when I went off to UBC and did quite a bit of volunteer work . . . I started feeling that I was making an impact and helping others and that’s how it steered that way.” As much of a force as Wauthy was on the court, he was just as dominant in the classroom, dating back to his high school days at St. John Brebeuf. Not much is made in mainstream media about university athletes who go on to make a living outside of their sport, but Wauthy knew basketball wasn’t a career option. “Definitely academics was key,” he said. “Towards the end of my basketball career I got to a point where I realized basketball will take you so far but you’re going to have think ahead a little more long-term.” He thanks his older sister, Rosanna Switzer, with helping him get through medical school, having gone through the experience before. see DOCTOR, page A18

Peter Wauthy of Abbotsford earned many awards as a basketball player with UCFV and UBC, but his biggest academic achievement came on May 24 when he graduated from UBC’s medical school.

t took all of four minutes and seven seconds for Gary Mangat to announce his arrival as a professional mixed martial arts fighter. Mangat, who trains at the Mamba Martial Arts Academy in Abbotsford, won his pro debut on Saturday night at Battlefield Fight League 8: Island Beatdown in Nanaimo. He won by submission thanks to a rear naked choke on his opponent, Mark Delgado, at 4:07 of the first round. He spent the next few hours thanking fans who flooded his Twitter account with congratulatory messages. Monday he held three MMA seminars at W.J. Mouat. Mangat began practicing MMA just three years ago after falling in love with the sport while watching an Ultimate Fighting Championship pay per view event on television. He is currently the BFL Featherweight champion and has aspirations of one day becoming the first Sikh to compete in the UFC.

Kootenay Ice goalie Nathan Lieuwen of Abbotsford plays the puck during Friday’s semifinal at the 2011 Memorial Cup.

athan Lieuwen openly admitted the wounds of not being able to win a Memorial Cup this season were wide open. The 19-year-old goalie from Abbotsford was the backbone of the Kootenay Ice’s journey to the Memorial Cup – Canadian junior hockey’s version of the Stanley Cup – that came to an end in Friday’s semifinal loss to the host Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors.

out what happened in the 3-1 loss to the Majors, what the team could’ve done differently to overturn the outcome, and what positives could come from a such a heartbreaking defeat. “They came out hard. I thought we did a good job keeping it close,” said Lieuwen of the Majors. “The last game is still pretty much in the forefront of our minds, but there were a lot of positives to come out of this. As a team we accomplished a lot and this is such a good group.” As devastating as this all might have seemed the day, Lieuwen said he will

His stock dropped and he was overlooked in the NHL entry draft. Despite the loss, Liuewen earned his redemption, putting forth a record of 16-3 in the playoffs, and leading all WHL playoff goalies in a number of categories, including shutouts with three.

T-Wolves win Tier 2 Won national title with UCFV

he Robert Bateman Timberwolves senior girls rugby team capped off the 2011 season with an impressive showing at this year’s provincial championships at Brentwood College in Vancouver Island. The Timberwolves won first place in the Tier 2 portion of the tournament, thanks to a 30-0 win over Williams Lake in the final on Saturday afternoon. Saturday’s Victory ended an incredible stretch of rugby for the reigning Double-A provincial champions. Bateman defeated Mt. Boucherie by a score of 20-5 to advance to the final. Before that, the T-Wolves dismembered Ladysmith 39-7. The Abbotsford Collegiate senior girls rugby also had a strong showing at this year’s provincial championships. Having just started a rugby program four years ago, the Panthers finished fifth in the

Double-A bracket, thanks to a 15-10 double overtime victory over Merritt. The Panthers scored the game-winning try with just two minutes remaining in the second overtime period. The Panthers came into the final tournament of the year as the No. 8-ranked team in Double-A, but managed victories over No. 3-ranked Merritt and No. 5-ranked Brentwood College on route to their fifth place finish. Their only hiccup was in the tournament opener, as they dropped a hard fought 2917 decision to the powerhouse team from Shawnigan Lake. The two teams were tied going into the second half before Shawnigan Lake managed to pull ahead. – CAM TUCKER/TIMES HTTP://TWITTER.COM/ABBYTIMES

“I had someone to talk to and look up to,” he said of his sister. “Any time I had questions, she was always there to help me out.” With commencement out of the way, Wauthy and his fiancé, Erin Purdy, another medical school grad, will now look to the future. Both are scheduled to begin their residency in Kelowna in July. Wauthy said he hopes to become a doctor in a rural town, where he can help people not only through his knowledge of medicine, but his experience as a standout athlete.

“I teach my patients as well as myself to keep fit,” he said. It’s all thanks to basketball, the game that helped guide him on his career path. “It’s something I still love,” he said. “Growing up with basketball, I’d say it was one of my first real passions. When you finish, you get to a point where it’s still a part of you, but you’re not doing it on a regular basis, so you have to find your identity. “For me it was a stage of my life.

T-Wolves rugby win Valley juniors

New prez for Abby minor hockey

The Robert Bateman Timberwolves junior boys’ rugby team won the Fraser Valley championships over the Yale Lions on Wednesday, taking the rubber match between the two schools for this season. It was the T-Wolves that finally prevailed in a back-and-forth contest with a 24-20 victory. The win gave them the Fraser Valley title, and two wins in three games over Yale this season. Despite the wet conditions, both teams put on an excellent display of offence, scoring a total of seven tries. In the end, something between the two clubs had to give. Kent Hicks scored three tries for Bateman in the win, while Spencer Maver added a single try. Ricky Van Bugnum kicked two conversions, which turned out to be the difference in another highly entertaining showdown between the T-Wolves and Lions.

The Abbotsford Minor Hockey Association named Trevor Bamford as its new president during its annual general meeting on May 24. Bamford joined AMHA in 2006 after serving on the board of directors with the Vancouver Thunderbirds Minor Hockey Association. In 2009, Bamford was elected to the AMHA executive board and was second vice-president. Prior to that, Bamford was recruited to co-ordinate the local Tyke-Novice program. Bamford takes over from former president Rick Stewart, who will remain on the executive board as a consultant. Stewart had been a volunteer with Abbotsford minor hockey for the last 10 years, starting as a team manager. “The position has been both challenging and rewarding but the demands were great,” said Stewart in a press release.
