Peter James Wilson pleaded guilty Monday to the murder of five-yearold Clare Shelswell of Abbotsford.

Wilson pleads guilty Abbotsford childkiller faces at least 22-year sentence RAFE ARNOTT RArnott@abbotsfordtimes.com

bbotsford child-killer Peter James Wilson pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in a Washington State courtroom Monday morning for slashing the throat of his five-yearold stepdaughter, Clare Shelswell. Wilson, 29, was brought before the judge shackled, wearing a standard prison issue orange jumpsuit minus the bulletproof vest he wore at his previous hearing. He appeared calm and lucid, Mason County prosecutor Gary Burleson said. “He was quiet, he responded to the court and he understood the proceedings and communicated with his attorney,” Burleson said. “He plead as charged. There was no plea bargain, no agreements of any kind.” see GUILTY, page A4

With no obvious plan on where he would stay, Roberts camped there all weekend in the rain, hoping to protect his things. “The reason things here are the way they are is because the landlord did nothing.

Muslims here focused on diversity celebration CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

threat that was issued by an obscure Florida preacher to burn the holy book of Islam, the Qur’an, is a nonissue locally, said Musleh Hakki, a local Muslim. “We’re not paying much attention. In my opinion, it’s good if he wants to burn it. He’s indirectly helping propagate our religion,” Hakki said last week. Terry Jones, who heads a tiny Gainesville, Fla., church called the Dove World Outreach Center, said he would hold a “Qur’an burning” on Sept. 11 to mark the anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks that brought down the World Trade Center and hit the Pentagon. His threat sparked protests around the world, and both Canadian and American political leaders and military heads said the action would endanger the lives of military personnel and civil workers in Afghanistan. Hakki said Jones’ threat has been widely denounced by people of all denominations, and that it would create negative reactions worldwide. Even though the preacher called off the burning event on Thursday, there were reports of people injured and even dying at anti-American protests in Afghanistan held in the days since then. “People who are believers in any faith, if you attack their faith, they will get upset. He’s entitled to his opinion, it’s a free country, but personally I don’t believe in propagating hate,” Hakki said. “I want to bring people together, and that’s why we have the Abby Festival, which brings together people of all nations,” said the 70-year-old Hakki, who as one of the organizers of the festival, parachuted from a plane this summer to promote the community event. The daylong celebration of Abbotsford’s multicultural diversity takes place this Saturday at the Ag-Rec building in Abbotsford’s Agrifair complex, featuring food, fashions and culture. Events start at 9:30 a.m., with a parade of nations led by local First Nations elders from several bands starting at 10 a.m. Admission is free but a non-perishable food item for the food bank will be gratefully accepted.

Interchange on target Constr uction on two highway interchanges in Abbotsford is on schedule, said Abbotsford Mayor George Peary. “The upgrades to the Clearbrook and McCallum interchanges are moving along quite nicely,” said Peary in a statement on Aug. 30. Since construction began on both sites, traffic through the Highway 1 corridor in Abbotsford has been slow and lines of idling automobiles long. But the halfway point of the McCallum project has now been passed, and construction efforts are now focused on the north and south roundabouts. “The new overpass is in place, with a freshly poured concrete deck that will be curing over the rest of the summer,” said Peary, adding the new eastbound exit is expected to open in September. The estimated combined cost of the two projects is $50 million, and both are scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2011.

ICBC: upgrades made roads safer A

2009 evaluation of ICBC’s Road Improvement Program shows that the program delivered real value to everyone use who uses Abbotsford streets, from drivers to pedestrians, the provincial insurance provider reported Monday. The review conducted by Dr. Tarek Sayed, professor of civil engineering at the University of British Columbia and Dr. Paul Deleur, transportation safety engineer, found that 102 road improvement projects (from a total of 750 projects ICBC supported in B.C.), showed a 20 per cent reduction in fatal and severe injury crashes and a 12 per cent reduction in non-injury crashes. The engineers concluded that for every dollar invested, ICBC and its customers save $5.60 over two years and $12.80 over five years in reduced crash costs.

– FILE/TIMES

Improvements to Abbotsford streets have reduced crashes, reports ICBC. In Abbotsford, a $44,000 project to realign and reduce intersections at McCallum Street and McDougal/Cannon avenues resulted in a 56 per cent drop in property damage claims and a 41 per cent drop in severe injury crashes, saving $282,300 over two years and $696,000 over five years. The $36,000 in improvements along Highway 11 at Clayburn

Road to Harris Road, including channel enhancements, better signs, delineation and pavement markings, led to a 61 per cent drop in property damage claims and a 49 per cent drop in severe injury crashes, saving $221,900 over two years and $548,900 over five years.

A4 ❘ NEWS ❘ TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2010 THE TIMES GUILTY, from page A1 Burleson confirmed Wilson pleaded guilty to first-degree murder charges with aggravating circumstances, which allows the prosecutor and the judge to recommend a sentence beyond the standard range of 28 years. The minimum Wilson could serve is 20 years, plus 24 months for the use of a deadly weapon in the murder. Burleson said he plans on seeking the longest term possible for Wilson because of the gruesome nature of the crime, Shelswell’s age and helplessness. “I absolutely intend on recommending an exceptional sentence in this case He can’t receive less than 22 years – and that’s a matter for the judge to decide – if that’s what he feels is appropriate,” Burleson said. “I obviously do not think that’s even close to appropriate.” Wilson was arrested June 27, after Mason County sheriffs found Shelswell lying dead in a pool of blood, her throat slit, at a vacation home in the 200 block

HOMELESS, from page A1 For Barry Shantz, a local advocate for those down and out, Roberts’ situation reveals the city’s limited housing response to its homeless population, especially those “hard to house” individuals who have complicated mental health issues. “Abbotsford’s efforts only reaches halfway down to the bottom, and it has no plans to get to the bottom. Their only plan is to terrorize homeless people until they leave,”

Church still behind Clare’s family of North Mt. Seattle Way in Hoodsport, near Lake Cushman, Wash. The little girl’s body was discovered after police received a frantic 911 call from her mother, Sarah Wilson. A press release by the Sheriff’s Office said Peter Wilson told a detective he knowingly killed the little girl with a knife he found on the kitchen counter, after having an argument with his wife about disciplining Shelswell and her eight-year-old sister. Ron Sergi, Wilson’s defence attorney, said his client made the decision to plead guilty on all charges to spare his family the agony of going through a trial. The defence will attempt to plead Wilson’s sentence down from what Sergi thinks will be a lengthy prison term. “The prosecutor is going to recommend a sentence of 50 or 60 years. I don’t know what exact numbers are going to be, but it’s going to be that

Shantz said. Reuben Koole, the city’s social planner, said that over the last few months, social agency workers have searched for a place for Roberts, but he agreed there are limited spaces for people with housing challenges. “Social agencies have been consulted to address the situation but no alternative can be found,” he said. Koole added the city will continue to monitor Roberts’ situation and are hoping for “a good outcome.”

high,” Sergi said. Terry Kaethler, a senior pastor at Mountain Park Community Church in Abbotsford where Shelswell’s family attends, said that both staff and congregation continue to support Clare’s mother, sister and family as they grieve. “With the end of the court process in sight, my prayer is that they will feel some peace at not having to go through a trial,” Kaethler said. “We see no positive benefit from a recounting of the details of Clare’s death that a trial would have necessitated, and so are pleased that a decision to avoid this has been reached.” Burleson echoed the pastor’s sentiments. “I’m pleased that this phase is completed. This [guilty plea] eliminates the possibility of appeal. There is a real sense of completion, this is done.”. Wilson’s sentencing hearing is scheduled for Oct. 22 in Shelton, Wash.

Ron Van Wyk, director of MCC BC Employment and Community Development and a housing advocate, said the city has made some progress in creating affordable housing, with a project in the works for women and children, but that is just a start. “We still need to do a lot of work to provide housing and resources to help people like Roy . . . Our continuum of services is not geared to take care of the Roys of Abbotsford,” he said. He’s currently reviewing housing

models in other cities that appear to be successful. But that will be another report, not action, he said. “Yes, I am frustrated, I’m upset that someone like Roy is without housing. “He is someone, like many others, that deserve a place to live.”

“Reckless” motorcyclist blasts along at 170 km/h RAFE ARNOTT RArnott@abbotsfordtimes.com

bbotsford police arrested a man after an RCMP helicopter pilot reported he was weaving his motorcycle in and out of traffic at speeds approaching 170 km/h Thursday afternoon. Describing the motorcyclist’s driving as “reckless,” APD Const. Ian MacDonald said the RCMP Air One pilot began following the man on Hwy. 11 between Mission and Abbotsford around 12:30 p.m. The pilot reported the rider was running red lights and stop signs and passing vehicles on both the left and right side of the road. “They requested assistan-

ce because he was driving very dangerously, really high speeds, at least at one point up to 170 km/h in an 80 km/ h zone,” MacDonald said.

“He just dumped it and stood there. It’s almost like something in his mind twigged.” – Const. Ian MacDonald APD

Police described the suspect as in his mid-20s, from a small town in the Interior. He was taken into custody without incident in the area of South Fraser Way and Bourquin Crescent.

The 20th annual Abbotsford Police Challenge Run kicks off Saturday at 9 a.m. across from the Abbotsford Police Department at 2838 Justice Way. More than 1,000 runners, wheelchair athletes, amateur joggers, seniors and children are expected.

According to officers, after exiting the Abbotsford-Mission bypass and dropping the bike, which MacDonald described as a heavily “altered, paint splattered and deliberately damaged” 1,000 cc Suzuki sport bike, the suspect remained at the scene. “He just dumped it and stood there. It’s almost like something in his mind twigged,” MacDonald said. Investigators are trying to determine whether the motorcycle is stolen, but are having difficulty tracing the VIN because any identifying numbers and tags associated with the bike have been removed. “Your normal identifiers are not present, so we’re going to extra effort to [identify it].” The motorcyclist’s name is not being released at this time. At this point in the investigation, police are recommending charges of dangerous driving.

Money raised goes to the ALS Society of B.C., the United Way in the Fraser Valley and to the Special Olympics of B.C. The Challenge Run has raised more than $400,000.00 for local charities in the last 20 years.

Clayton Hodges, 15, locked himself inside a dog cage for 10 hours on Friday outside the Canadian Tire store in Abbotsford. mental anguish says Hodges, a volunteer with the SPCA in Abbotsford, is what dogs and cats stuck in cages go through for periods lasting more than just the 10 hours he did. “I don’t even know the whole impact of it, but the 10 hours sucked enough. It was quite painful and if I didn’t get those 10 minutes breaks every 50 minutes, I would’ve been quite mad.” Many people walking in and out of the Canadian Tire store stopped to share in Hodges’ experience. Those who stopped praise the W.J. Mouat student – one lady generously donated more than $300 alone to the cause.

He was also visited by friends from school, and was very appreciative to all of those who stopped by. “A lot of people thanked me and they came from wherever they lived just to drop off money and go back,” Hodges said. “I didn’t think any of my friends were going to come, but it was neat to see them. I was really grateful for that.” His mother said she’s “very proud” of her son for simply wanting to help four-legged pooches who fall victim to abusive owners and unacceptable confinement. The B.C. SPCA also held a Paws for a Cause charity walk in Abbotsford and around the province on Sunday.

here he sat. Cooped up was 15-year-old Clayton Hodges, in a dog cage outside the Canadian Tire store on South Fraser Way in Abbotsford as people walked past on Friday. He sat in the same position inside the cage for 10 hours while his mother Petra and dog Scout stood by. It was painful, it was cold and it was mentally gruelling, Hodges, an avid dog lover, told the Abbotsford-Mission Times on Saturday. But it was worth it. Hodges raised more than $1,700 towards his cause, bringing attention to animal cruelty. Putting himself inside a dog cage was his mechanism for getting that message out there. “I’m doing better,” he said after waking up late on Saturday morning. “But yesterday my shoulder blades were just killing me. They felt like they had knots in them and they were all grinded up because of the cage.” The physical strain and

An alarming report on our ALR

◗ Editorial Christina Toth Jean Konda-Witte Rafe Arnott

t didn’t get nearly the kind of sustained news coverage it deserved, but the report by B.C. auditor-general John Doyle on the state of the province’s Agriculture Land Reserve should be cause for concern. Doyle raised two key issues that have the potential of seriously threatening the ALR’s future viability and value. First, he notes the budget for the Agriculture Land Commission has dramatically declined in recent years, thus impairing the commission’s ability to ensure preservation of land and monitoring compliance of regulations. Second, he notes that while the total amount of land in the reserve has remained relatively stable over the years, a significant amount of prime farmland has been taken out while lessvaluable land in the north has been added. The ALR was established in 1973 by the New Democratic Party government of the day. Along with the creation of the Labor Relations Board and the Insurance Corp. of B.C., establishing the ALR has to rank as one of the lasting legacies of that government. At a time when ensuring an on-going food supply becomes more and more important (as climate change begins to alter agriculture practices around the world) it is critical that B.C.’s lush and precious farmland be protected. Doyle, who is quickly earning a reputation as a no-non-

KEITH BALDREY

From the Ledge sense, independent watchdog of government, points out the annual budget for the commission has shrunk from almost $3 million at the beginning of this government’s first term to barely more than $2 million. That’s a cut of one-third and it has led to fewer staff and resources, which makes ongoing preservation of farmland that much harder to accomplish. Meanwhile, the loss of prime farmland is even more worrisome. Since the ALR’s creation, Vancouver Island has lost 13 per cent of its prime farmland, while the Okanagan has lost 12 per cent and the Lower Mainland (primarily the Fraser Valley) has lost eight per cent. The development pressures that come with population growth are mostly to blame for the loss of good farmland. When the ALR was first established, for example, places such as Surrey, Delta and Langley were barely populated compared to the number of people who live there now. Whole farms have been replaced by huge subdivisions and highway projects (I remember a large sheep and vegetable farm being directly across the

road from my grandparents’ home on Saltspring Island; a parking lot, tennis courts and a soccer field are there now). The picture is not entirely gloomy, however. Agriculture Minister Steve Thomson seems to get the idea that more has to be done to protect the ALR. Thomson, who comes from a farming family, is a former executive director of the B.C. Agriculture Council and he has emerged as one of the steadiest hands in the B.C. Liberal government. He has asked the new chair of the ALC, Richard Bullock, to tour the province and meet with agriculture groups and other stakeholders to get a sense of the challenges faced by the ALC. Now, there’s no question more housing and transportation networks will have to be built in the years ahead. And it’s more than likely that some ALR land will form part of future treaties with First Nations bands. But Doyle’s report is a timely reminder that protecting our food supply should be of paramount importance. I suspect the NDP will make preserving the ALR a key part of its election platform come 2013. If that party does indeed gain power, it will be interesting to see if it takes a look back at the record of its predecessor in the 1970s to gain a sense of proper priorities. ■ Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

esterday, Peter James Wilson of Abbotsford pleaded guilty to murdering his five-year-old stepdaughter, Clare Shelswell, during a family holiday in Washington at the end of June. He admitted as much when Mason County police first arrived at the terrible scene at Lake Cushman on June 27 and found the young girl’s throat cut, but then he later offered a not guilty plea. His admission of culpability this week is no doubt a relief, such as it can be, for the little girl’s mother, Sarah Wilson. To the family and to their close-knit congregation at Mountain Park Community Church, it must seem like an answer to their prayers. “We see no positive benefit from a recounting of the details of Clare’s death that a trial would have necessitated and so are pleased that a decision to avoid this has been reached . . .” said Terry Kaethler, senior pastor at Mountain Park church. We wholeheartedly agree. Wilson’s change of heart means the grieving mother won’t have to endure the torment of reliving Clare’s death during a trial, initially scheduled for November. She has already suffered enough. Wilson’s decision will also spare everyone else who was thrown into the painful experience – the police, the paramedics, the witnesses and neighbours. In all of this sad chronicle, it must be noted that Wilson did this one good thing. He will be locked away for a long time, maybe for his lifetime, and he will have to bear a heavy weight. But so will Sarah. She too is condemned to a lifelong burden, the loss of her daughter, and her challenge will be to remember Clare’s smiling face and loving heart unsullied. Hopefully yesterday’s admission clears the skies for that light to shine. ■ To comment on this editorial, e-mail us at letters@abbotsfordtimes.com.

Spend on transit, not on ice Thank you for the Sept. 7 article on transit alternatives (Off the rails). It’s interesting that whereas Dianne Watts is so very vocal when it comes to her community’s needs, our local council is yet to find its voice. In the fall of 2008 I was on a committee looking at our valley’s transportation requirements. Communities from Chilliwack to west of Langley were represented. Many of the participants were pleased that the province was releasing a report on transit by May of 2009. To the best of my knowledge, that report never materialized. I’m wondering if that’s the same report – now a year and a half later – mentioned in your article. Perhaps the province has decided that a few good words on transit will divert public attention from the HST. One can only hope. Recently, sports commentators reported that Jean Charest is willing to

come up with 45 per cent of the cost of a mega-arena in order to encourage further professional hockey in his province. He wants the federal government to come up with matching funds. I suppose it’s none of my business what Quebec does with its cash (unless, of course, it is a recipient of equalization payments). At the same time, if the federal government has extra money in its pocket, I’d rather see it go to B.C. transit than for Quebec ice. Regina Dalton Abbotsford

A brighter future for kids of every colour Editor, the Times:

I am white. Having said that straight out, I will address bad behavior regardless of race or gender. How can neighborhoods not care when people park in front of our homes and use Aspen Park for smoking pot and dealing drugs?

After all, down the street a young Indo-Canadian man met his untimely death because of similar beginnings. It’s nice that some parents have so much hope for their misbehaved children and maintain that they are “good boys,” when they indeed are not. I will address any behavior that is wrong as if those involved were my own children. I would hope other parents would do the same for me. Why do parents enable these children with cars and money when they continue to make very wrong choices? Tonight I was threatened by four Indo-Canadian boys who use the park because they would rather smoke pot here than at their homes. They assured me that they would be back tomorrow and the neighborhood would have me to thank for that, along with other name calling. Fortunately, I filed a police report, and frankly, if something happens to me

or my possessions, at least I said something and I cared about my community. I am angry, and I am tired of people being afraid of retaliation, choosing to be cowards, doing nothing. I don’t want that behavior in my neighborhood and I will call you on it whether you are white, Indo-Canadian, purple or any other colour. I will say wrong is wrong, and I will not have good people hide in their homes because they are afraid of children who are breaking the law. Does anyone care? What kind of adults will these children be? Doris Froese Abbotsford

PETS FRIENDS FOR LIFE Back-to-school stress affects Fido, too

Don’t forget about the dog!

he ‘Back to School’ rush is a stressful and busy time for everyone. Buy the school supplied. Get the kids new clothes. Get the children signed up for after-school activities. Arrange transportation to and from school. Then add the ‘end of holidays’ stress for parents It’s time to head back to work. Everyone is busy and schedules are undergoing abrupt changes. Image how this affects Fido. During the summer, everyone was around. The house was filled with traffic and activity. The children played with him. They took him for walks. Friends came over. There was noise, and laughter everywhere. He joined you at the lake. Everyone was around for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Now the house is quiet. Everyone is gone. And he has been left at home, alone, faced with four quiet walls. What must he be feeling? Abandoned? Bored? Forgotten?

– JEAN KONDA-WITTE/TIMES

With everyone suddenly away all day, your dog can feel like he’s all alone in this world; and he may act out. Some dogs will simply become depressed and withdrawn. Some will start to vomit. Or they may urinate and defecate in the house. Others start to bark excessively. Some will chew up the items in the house. The stress of separation and perceived abandonment on dogs can be enormous. How do you avoid this? Ideally you start a couple of weeks before school begins. Begin by changing routines gradually. Get up earlier. Go to bed earlier. Slowly leave the family pet alone for increasing periods of time. Begin to introduce Fido to his new morning, afternoon and evening routines. Dogs, just like children, thrive on routine. But what do you do when

it’s too late? You forgot about the dog. And now the neighbours are complaining because he is howling all the tim. And then you walk into the house and you are stumbling over shredded pillows. First of all, yelling at the dog won’t help fix the situ-

ation. You need to get into the head of your pet. Why is he acting out? What has happened? What has changed? Start by alleviating boredom. Keep an assortment of toys available for play. Toys that release treats can be helpful. Increase exercise through doggy day care and dog walking services. Leave a radio or TV playing. Don’t make a fuss when you leave or when you return. If you are trying to spend more morning and evening time with your dog, don’t do it just before leaving or just as you arrive. Ignore your dog for a time before leaving and after arriving. Make sure they know your departures and arrivals are not a big issue.

Leave a T-shirt with your scent on his bed. If all else fails, enlist the help of an experienced dog trainer. Even basic dog training can help. It teaches your dog that you are a confident reliable person who will handle stressful situations for him. Sometimes a cordonedoff area or a kennel is not a bad idea if it keeps Fido out of potential hazards, saves your house, and reduces your anxiety. Positive kennel training can be very valuable for the anxious dog. If you are still having problems after this, seek the assistance of your veterinarian. There are anti-anxiety drugs that can help. The goal of drug therapy is to take the edge off so the pet

Picture perfect pasta pointers

staple in almost every home’s pantry is spaghetti or some form of pasta that makes its way to the dinner table on a regular basis. Many of us take the time to focus on building the flavour and complexity of the accompanying sauce for our pasta of choice; however the pasta itself needs attention as well. Many food columns could be dedicated to achieving palate-pleasing goals in pasta sauces, but let us not forget about the substance of these dishes – the pasta noodle. Thus, this column will be focused on unraveling some myths and procedures in what seems to be one of the simplest tasks in the kitchen – boiling water and cooking pasta. The first thing to examine is the dry pasta noodle and the transformation that takes place during the cooking process. The most obvious observation is that cooked pasta is larger in volume and flexible, compared to dry raw pasta. What makes this possible is the absorption of water during the boiling process. The cooking process of any food, no matter how simple it seems, needs to be analyzed because this is our chance of infusing flavour into the ingredients being cooked. Everyone has heard of the process of salting water when boiling pasta, but few know or realize the reason why. Some believe it is to help the pasta from sticking or to help keep the water from boiling over; however the reason is to season the pasta and to increase the flavour. Pasta on its own is very bland, and combining bland cooked pasta with a sauce that you have perfected, will be a detriment to your finished dish. If the pasta water is salted liberally then the pasta will be absorbing saltwater, instead of just water, and thus your pasta dish will be seasoned from the inside out.

CHEF DEZ

On cooking Another no-no is to add oil to your pasta water. This idea probably first came about to prevent the pasta noodles from sticking together, however it will affect your finished dish negatively. Oiled pasta water will help to keep your pasta from sticking together when cooking, but a film of oil will always be left on the drained noodles. This thin film of oil will inhibit the starchiness of the cooked pasta and then in turn lead to the accompanying sauce to not stick to or absorb into the noodles as much. When pasta is eaten you want the starchiness of the pasta to hold onto the sauce as much as possible, so that the dish will be able to be enjoyed to the fullest. That being said, drained cooked pasta should not be oiled for the same reason. A better way to help prevent your pasta noodles from sticking together during the cooking process is to stir the noodles constantly for the first two minutes of cooking time. By that point the water will have returned to its fullboil action and the agitation of the bubbling water will keep the pasta moving and prevent it from sticking. Once the pasta has been drained, do not rinse it. Rinsing will cool the pasta down and also wash away some of the starchiness that we want to help secure the sauce to the noodles.

WORKING & TRAINING Trades Enjoy New Popularity Among Job Seekers

With the number of apprentices expected to double in the next year, Kent Orrock believes we’re seeing the ﬁrst steps of a renewed respect for the trades. He now entertains several phone calls a day regarding applications to apprenticeship programs and inquiries about how to get involved in this steadily growing industry.

tax credits of up to $2,000 a year for the ﬁrst two years that they employ and train eligible apprentices, and as well as cash grants of $1,000 a year to eligible apprentices in the ﬁrst two years of their training, the federal government is stepping up the push for more Canadians to consider a career in the trades.

in the training and education of their future employees. The B. C. Road Builders and Heavy Industry Association, for example, has developed and launched a new program combining classroom training with on-the-job instruction to support a number of highway and port-building mega-projects currently in the works. The ﬁrst stage of the program, which is being paid for by industry, is designed to teach the basics of road building and heavy construction. “The aim is to give them a really good essential knowledge about the equipment that’s going to be used and how to maintain that equipment,” he says. “They’ll also be taught the basics of civil engineering, so they’ll know about grades, aggregates and environmental issues.” Says Orrock. From there students can move on to apprenticeships in asphalt paving or specialized construction jobs. It gives them a starting point to continue working with heavy equipment like backhoes, excavators, bulldozers, graders and 50-ton trucks, or work. Mr. Orrock says that members of his association are committed to providing management training, in addition to hard-skills training, for those interested in moving into supervisory and

Hawks eye improvement

Mouat, Hansen, Mission all get busy during weekend action CAM TUCKER camtuckertimes@gmail.com

recent release from CanadaFootballChat.com of the top high school football teams in Canada has come out, and the W.J. Mouat Hawks are at the top of that list. A coup, considering it’s only the first week of the season and the Hawks had yet to play a down in the 2010 B.C. High School Triple-A varsity football season when the release went out. But that’s where the Hawks stand as of right now, and they started their journey to what they hope will be a Subway Bowl in December with a decisive 40-20 victory over the unranked New Westminster Hyacks at Mercer Stadium on a chilly Friday night. The score might indicate the Hawks ran roughshod in the Hyacks, but that wasn’t the case, as head coach Denis Kelly and a number of players admitted afterwards. “It took us a while to get going and full marks to [New Westminster] because they just physically dominated us in the second half,” said Kelly. “They just kept running it up the middle, making yards and making nice plays on their counters. “They hung in there and they played a good game.” A last-minute touchdown by the Hawks ensured a 20-point victory, and the Hawks openly admitted they were far from their best. They held a 7-6 lead and needed two big plays in the second quarter to finally take control. But penalties and dropped balls stood out on a team that is expected

to be a high rolling offensive juggernaut in 2010. And an underdog Hyacks team, perhaps feeling slighted by being left out of the recent provincial rankings unlike in years past when they were consistently in the top five, nearly took advantage. “We obviously didn’t play our Agame and we should’ve been more prepared,” said Grade 12 receiver John Watson, who will be one of quarterback Cam Bedore’s most used targets this season along with Desmond Bassi. “I think we just need to get more focused at practice, and this being our first game we did show a little bit of rust.” After two weeks of nothing but practice, Kelly agreed his team may have been feeling the jitters a little bit as expectations continue to grow for this group. “You’re anxious to play and you haven’t played since last year,” he said. “You build. it’s still early in the season. “I think defensively we’re fine, it’s just offensively we’re inconsistent right now. We made some plays and didn’t make plays on other occasions and I think in the second half we struggled a little bit.” The Mouat Hawks’ next game is a home game against Mount Douglas on Saturday. Kickoff is at 4 p.m. from the field at W.J. Mouat. Also in action this weekend were the Mission Roadrunners Double-A varsity squad. They took on the Holy Cross Crusaders Triple-A squad on Friday afternoon at Mission Secondary. The Roadrunners, fresh off a trip to California for an exhibition game against seven-time state champs St. Margaret’s Tartans, opened up the offensive playbook in a 39-26 victory over the Crusaders. Up next for the Roadrunners is a home game Friday against South Kamloops. Kickoff is at 3:45 p.m. from Mission Secondary.

CAM TUCKER camtuckertimes@gmail.com

eland Irving was blunt Monday morning when asked to sum up his 2009-2010 season with the Abbotsford Heat. “It’s over,” he said from the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton where he will play for the Calgary Flames prospects in the Vancouver Canucks Young Stars Tournament He then elaborated. “There were same great points last season. I had a great a start . . . and then unfortunately, I didn’t really get into a consistent routine.

Pilots win opener The Abbotsford Pilots got one shot on goal in overtime Friday against the Delta Ice Hawks, but that was all they needed. Kevin Lourens scored his first of the season at 1:28 of the extra frame as the Pilots edged the Ice Hawks 5-4 on Friday at MSA Arena. Outspoken tough guy and Pilots defenceman Daniel Amesbury showed his hands will be used for more than just fisticuffs, as he set up the winner and recorded two assists in his first regular season game with Abbotsford. The Pilots trailed 4-3 in the third period but tied things up with a power play marker from Bradley Parker with just two seconds remaining in regulation. Brad Anderson stopped 36 of 40 shots for the win. The Pilots next game is a Thursday showdown against the always dangerous Richmond Sockeyes. Puck drop is at 7:30 p.m. from Richmond Arena. But the big game coming up is Friday’s highly anticipated match against conference rivals, the Ridge Meadows Flames. That game goes at 7:30 p.m. from MSA Arena.

Icebreakers struggle

– CAM TUCKER/TIMES

Mission Roadrunners Grade 12 starting quarterback Tanner Pearce looks to the end zone against the Holy Cross Crusaders on Friday afternoon at Mission Secondary.

Abby Heat goalie is moving on

“It’s over” says Irving of last season with Heat

Briefly

“I never really gained the No. 1 spot, which at times was definitely frustrating.” That’s about as accurate as it can get. Irving was sensational at times throughout the first four months of the season, displaying the kind of athleticism and technical prowess that got him drafted in the first round of the 2006 NHL entry draft by the Calgary Flames. But then it went wayward. Both Heat goalies, Irving and Matt Keetley, began to struggle. It became a constant issue head coach Jim Playfair had to deal with throughout the middle part of the season, and Irving was at the centre of it. Not only did Irving, 22, lose the starting job in goal for the Heat, he was sent down to the Victoria Salmon Kings of the ECHL at the end of January. He didn’t fare much better down there, either. A 2-4-2 record in eight games, a goals-against average

of 3.06. Meanwhile, in Abbotsford, ECHL called up David Shantz, now with the Manitoba Moose, to take over the reigns as No. 1 goalie. It’s about as disastrous a situation as one can conjure up for a goalie as highly touted as Irving is. But that’s the past. Irving, who overcame a bout of cancer as a young child, has come to the prospects tournament with a new mindset. “Nobody wants to be sent down to the [East Coat Hockey League], but it’s another learning experience that I’ll put in the memory bank and move on,” he said. “Right now I’m just looking forward . . . There’s definitely times throughout the year where you’re trying to do too much and when that happens, you just have to take a step back and keep it simple and just get back to what got you there in the first place.”

The Mission Icebreakers had a tough start to their 2010-2011 season, dropping the first games on the schedule. The Icebreakers lost to the Port Moody Black Panthers 4-3 on Saturday night and then were roughed up in their home opener 8-2 by the Ridge Meadows Flames Sunday. The Icebreakers didn’t help their cause against the Flames, either. The Flames feasted on 16 power plays, scoring six times with man advantage. At one point, the Icebreakers were handed 14 straight infractions. Meanwhile, the Flames stayed out of the penalty box, giving Mission just three power play chances. They failed to score on any of them.

Falcons football

The Abbotsford Falcons atom team continued its strong play of late, dusting up Meadow Ridge by a score of 24-0. The atom team is now 3-0 so far this season and have outscored the opposition 132-6. – CAM TUCKER
